ART I 6A THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1904 E UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY,MAY1,2009 VOLUME 120 ISSUE 148 HEALTH WWW.KANSAN.COM Swine flu concerns nix plans abroad Mexico program is canceled; European students leave early BY ALEXANDRA GARRY agarry@kansan.com The summer study abroad program, in Pueblo, Mexico, near Mexico City, was scheduled to begin May 15 and had sixteen students enrolled. The Office of Study Abroad canceled a language study program in Mexico Thursday because of public health concerns surrounding the H1N1 influenza virus, also known as the swine flu. In the meantime, several international students made plans to return to their home institutions early. "The Office of Study Abroad always places the well-being of our students as our highest priority," said Sue Lorenz, director of the Office of Study Abroad, in a media release. Jill Jess, associate director for news and media relations of University Relations, said the students would be compensated for their airfare cancellation costs and that the office would attempt to find suitable alternate study abroad plans for the students. University officials initially said the flu outbreak was unlikely to affect study abroad plans, but after the World Health Organization raised the international pandemic alert Wednesday, Provost Richard Lariviere and staff from several other offices on campus began daily situation update meetings Thursday. Several international students received e-mails from their home universities, and made last-minute plans to return to their countries. The e-mails said that the universities would allow them to leave if they felt uncomfortable about the potential health threat of swine flu, which has stricken two Kansas residents. Aurore Tabarand, Vichy, France, graduate student, said she got an e-mail from her home university, Groupe ESC Clermont, Wednesday, saying officials there would support students who decided to leave. She said ESC Clermont officials said worries about final projects and exams should not prevent students from leaving a situation they felt uncomfortable with. Other international institutions have informed their students the same, Tabarand said. THE OL'S WITCHEROO Tabarand said she decided to leave after speaking with her parents and that, although she felt the situation was under control, she worried what may happen in the next few weeks. "I was fearing not being able to go home if something did happen," she said. Tabarand is planning to take a flight back to France on Saturday. She had to pay a 150 Euro ($199) charge for taking her flight early. She said she knew of two other students from her university who had made the decision to leave Kansas early.

Chancellor For a Day winner Colin Riesman, Overland Park senior, and Chancellor Robert Hemenway converse about their experiences in each other's shoes over lunch in Impromptu Café, in the Kansas Union. Reisman said it "was interesting to go through the chancellor's day, seeing where all the money gets allocated." Chance Dibben/KANSAN Good morning, Chancellor Colin Chancellor for a Day raffle winner Colin Riesman switched his free morning for Robert Hemenway's busy one BY RACHEL BURCHFIELD churchfield.konsoo.com rburchfield@kansan.com Yesterday morning was not a typical Thursday morning for Colin Riesman. His usual routine of sleeping in, eating and watching TV was instead jam-packed with meetings ranging in topics from construction on campus to the University's budget. When Riesman, Overland Park senior, grabbed lunch yesterday, it was at the Impromptu Café with the man whose life he had emulated for three hours — Chancellor Robert Hemenway. Again — not a typical Thursday morning. While Riesman was chancellor for a day as part of a program by the same name, Hemenway himself was left without much to do. Because Riesman didn't have Thursday morning classes, Hemenway wasn't able to take notes for Riesman, who won the Chancellor for a Day raffle. Riesman's experience as the head honcho on campus ended after he and Hemenway ate lunch together, which was a little too soon, Riesman said, as he had a business economics test in his 2:30 class that he said he wished Hemenway could have taken for him. "My teacher probably would give him an A," Riesman said. Riesman submitted six tickets into the Chancellor for a Day raffle, organized by Michael Gillaspie, Ashland senior and student body vice president. Gillaspie announced Riesman's name as the raffle's winner Monday, and notified him by sending him a Facebook message and an e-mail. Riesman said he was very excited to have won and was glad the money he paid for the raffle tickets supported Jubilee Café, a breakfast kitchen for the low-income and homeless people of Lawrence.

Sarah Bluvas, Atlanta junior, said. Bluvas, who is a captain on the advisory board's relay team, said art was a way for cancer patients to express themselves and grow. Bluvas said raising money for the Relay for Life was important to her because the reality of cancer was close to home. She said she hoped her art could show the story of her personal battle with breast cancer and convey her recovery. She said she was now healthy and needed a mammogram only once a year. HEAR You!

Review: The aroma alone that surrounds WheatFields should be enough to bring anyone in. Its wood-fired Spanish oven has been blessing Lawrence with the smell of fresh bread for years. But what brings most people here is the cafe and its delicious dishes. I tried the empanada of the day and the house salad last time I went, and both were uniquely WheatFields. I got the delicious white wine vinaigrette on the house salad - which was topped with cucumbers, beets, and a bean mix. And the empanada Wheatfields Bakery, located at the corner of Ninth and Vermont streets, offers fresh bread fried in a wood-burning oven, and tasty soups, sandwiches and salads in its café.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY,MAY 1,2009 NEWS 3A CEREMONY 'Hats off' for Hemenway's 14 years as chancellor BY JENNIFER TORLINE jtorline@kansan.com Chancellor Robert Hemenway is well-known for the straw hat he wears to commencement. But he has worn many other "hats" during his 14 years as chancellor. Friends, colleagues, students and alumni will celebrate all of Hemenway's hats on Saturday during "Hats Off to Hemenway Hemenway," a program commemorating his time as the University's leader. There's Professor Hemenway the english teacher with a passion for literature whose office shelves are filled with hundreds and hundreds of books. But there's also "Chancellor Bob" — the approachable man, a parent and grandparent himself, who keeps his door open to students and faculty and supports their activities and research. And then there's Chancellor Hemenway — the University's 16th chancellor, who has held the office since 1995. The free program will be held at 3 p.m. in the Lied Center. It will feature video clips, speakers and mini-performances from the Oread Singers and the Marching Jayhawks. "The focus of the program is the amazing growth that occurred at the University across the board during his 14 years," said Mary Burg, executive assistant to the chancellor and the event organizer. Burg said the program would feature the areas the chancellor has influenced during his tenure: academics, research, service, campus development and traditions. Burg wouldn't reveal too many details about the program — many of the guest speakers and performances will be a surprise even for Hemenway. Bob Dotson, a 1968 graduate who studied journalism at the University, will emcee the program. He is an NBC news correspondent whose special reports, "American Story with Bob Dotson," tell of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Dotson has worked with Hemenwav during his tenure, and HATS OFF TO HEMENWAY WHAT: A program commemorating Hemenway's 14 years as the University's chancellor WHEN: 3 p.m. Saturday. Doors open at 2 p.m. WHERE: Lied Center HOW MUCH: Free. Seats are first come, first served. has returned to the University for several speeches and journalism events. Dotson said he was impressed with Hemenway's style as a teacher and mentor, and the way he related with others. "I think people will remember him as a seemingly ordinary guy who had wonderful ideas and got them done," Dotson said. "The supposedly ordinary people are the ones who make this country what it is. They're the ones who get things done." More than 200 students, faculty and staff have been preparing for this program since shortly after Hemenway announced he was stepping down. Jack Wright, professor of theatre and film, will direct the program. "He's a student's chancellor," Wright said. "He has always made himself available to students and has become one of their favorites." Student body president Adam McGonigle agrees. McGonigle, Wichita junior, and several other former student body presidents will offer a few remarks at the end of the program about the mentorship Hemenway has provided for students. It's important that the community and the University at large have the opportunity in one large setting to thank the chancellor for his work and personally celebrate everything he accomplished," McGonigle said. - Edited by Justin Leverett Check out The Kansan on Monday for an in-depth report on how Chancellor Hemenway has made his mark at the University. SWITCH (CONTINUED FROM 1A) THE BOOKS Colin Riesman, Overland Park senior, winner of Chancellor for a Day, listens as Secretary to the Chancellor Gay Lynn Clock reviews Robert Hemenway's busy schedule. "It was a good thing to donate some money, or to do anything to help people who are less fortunate," Riesman said. Gillaspia said the raffle raised about $600 for Jubilee Café. "We don't have a constant flow of money coming in, so every year we pay for the necessary amount of food to feed the 6,200 low- income and homeless people that we serve every Tuesday and Friday morning," Gillaspie said. Gillaspie said he hoped Chancellor for a Day would become an annual event. "I hope it continues to grow to be something that people want to be a part of and something to help the dialogue between administrators and students," Gillaspie said. Gay Lynn Clock, secretary to the chancellor, who set up Riesman's schedule, said it was a chance for a student to see the inner workings of the chancellor's daily life. "It's valuable for students to see how much work it actually is," Clock said. "It's a very challenging position." It wasn't Riesman's typical Thursday morning routine, but it was interesting to see what a day in the life of the chancellor was like, he said. "It's pretty cool how the chancellor is in charge of everything and helps run such a big organization," Riesman said. ARTWORK (CONTINUED FROM 1A) "Without cancer research I wouldn't have a parent," Bluvas said. She said her mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1991 and her cancer resurfaced in 2001 and 2003. She said her mom was currently in remission but the urgency to find a cure was still on her mind. Bluvas and her relay team have raised $1,395 for the event. Sierra Falters, Lincoln, Neb, senior and relay captain, said the student advisory board hoped to meet its goal of $2,000 before tonight's relay, but said she was proud of the amount it had already collected. Falters said all art would be for sale and the proceeds would benefit the American Cancer Society. The relay is open to the public and the student advisory board's art exhibit can be visited from 6 to 10 p.m. Edited by Grant Treaster SWINE FLU (CONTINUED FROM 1A) Johan Bagwitz, Kristianstad, Sweden, senior, first contacted officials at his university in Vaxjö. The university responded that it would be supportive if he decided to leave. Bagewitz said officials he spoke with Tuesday at the Office of Study Abroad told him the University of Kansas would be supportive of him choosing to leave if he was able to arrange to finish his final projects in Sweden, which he said his professors allowed him to do. "This is my personal decision," he said. "No one has forced me to leave, but everyone has been supportive of my decision." Bagewitz said that he had arranged to leave on Saturday, but that he was waiting to decide if he wanted to go. "I don't really know what could make me stay, though" he said. Bagewitz said he began worrying about the swine flu after speaking with friends studying in Mexico. Although cases of swine flu have been reported in Europe, he said international students considered the threat to be higher in Kansas. "The U.S. is way closer to where it all started," he said. "I think it is safer to be in Sweden than in the U.S." Bagewitz and others said the decision to leave was a difficult one. More information about the University's assessment of the flu situation can be found at alert. ku.edu. CRIME "I'm kind of divided," Tabarand said. "It's mixed feelings because I'm happy to be going home, but kind of sad to be going so quickly." Edited by Justin Leverett Car slams into crowd gathered for Queen's Day BY CYNTHIA BOLL Associated Press APELDOORN, Netherlands — Bright skies and a festive Queen's Day mood brought thousands to a street corner to greet their popular monarch, many of them wearing the bright orange national colors and funny orange wigs. As Queen Beatrix and her family passed by in an open bus, a black car suddenly burst through police barriers, catapulting spectators into the air before it slammed into a stone monument. Five people were killed and 13 wounded as the queen and her family looked on in disbelief Thursday. The speeding car passed within a few yards of their bus, but none of the royals were hurt. Officials called it a deliberate attack on the House of Orange, the monarchy that has symbolically ruled Holland since 1815 and is widely respected if not revered. "I think that it has become clear that this happened with premeditation," Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende said. Neither he nor law enforcement agencies would give a motive. But Dutch media, citing neighbors, said the assailant was recently fired from his job and was to be evicted from his home. Police identified him as a 38-year-old Dutch man with no history of mental illness or police record, but would not release his name. "The man said that his action was aimed at the royal family," said prosecutor Ludo Goossens. Officials in Apeldoorn said the suspect had a map of the queen's route. The driver apparently acted alone and was not linked to any terrorist or ideological group, authorities said. No explosives were found in his car or home. "What began as a great day has ended in a terrible tragedy that has shocked us all deeply," the queen said. ASSOCIATED PRESS Police officers surround a car moments after it slammed into a monument in Apeldoorn, Netherlands, Thursday. Dutch television is reporting at least 14 people injured after a car careened into spectators watching Queen Beatrix's motorcade amid celebrations for the national holiday of Queen's Day. 424 African Students Association Presents...

JASON HAFLICH Hulu.com to feature Disney movies INTERNET BY RYAN NAKASHIMA Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Disney movies and ABC TV shows will be available on Hulu.com now that Walt Disney Co. is taking an equity stake in the popular video streaming site, joining its founders, NBC Universal and News Corp. The deal announced Thursday will bring older Disney movies to the site, along with ABC and Disney Channel shows such as "Lost," "Grey's Anatomy" and "Wizards of Waverly Place" after they run on TV. Disney hopes to gain new online viewers that it does not already capture on ABC. com and pick up new income from sharing ad revenue on Hulu. The new setup also brings the owners of three of the four major broadcast networks — ABC, NBC and Fox — into a fight for online eyeballs against the video streaming site TV.com, which CBS Corp. acquired last year when it bought CNet Networks Inc. for $1.8 billion. In February, Hulu pulled all its content from TV.com. Another rival is Google Inc.'s YouTube, which is trying to become more than a repository for clips uploaded by the general public. It recently launched a "Shows" section with older movies and TV episodes from partners Sony Corp., Lions Gate Entertainment Corp., CBS Corp., Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. and Liberty Media Corp. Disney has a deal to provide short-form ESPN and ABC content to YouTube. But in general, ABC, NBC and Fox now will be pitting their premium material against YouTube. Hulu ranks as the No. 4 online video site in the U.S., with 41.6 million viewers of its videos in March, according to tracking firm comScore. Disney's biggest contribution to Hulu will be its content, but the company will also make a cash investment similar to the amount that General Electric Co.'s NBC Universal and News Corp.'s Fox each contributed in March 2007, according to people knowledgeable about the deal, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the terms were confidential. It is unclear how much Disney paid, but Disney, News Corp. and NBC will all have similar-sized stakes at just over 25 percent. "It's an extremely big blow to YouTube," said Gartner Inc. research vice president Allen Weiner. Interactive Media, which includes MySpace, at 52.5 million; and Yahoo sites at 42.5 million. CBS sites ranked fifth at 35.4 million monthly viewers. Disney Chief Executive Robert Iger, Disney/ABC Television Group President Anne Sweeney and Kevin Mayer, a Disney senior vice president, will join Hulu's board.

The double Oscar winner filed the petition on April 23 in Marin County Superior Court in San Rafael, Calif., according to court papers. Penn and his actress wife have been married 13 years. Penn has requested joint legal and physical custody of their 18-year-old daughter, Dylan Francis, and 15-year-old son, Hopner Jack This isn't the first indication of marital strife. The Penns filed for divorce in December 2007 but dismissed their petition several months later.

University making progress with strong fair trade effort GUEST COLUMN BY DANNY NORDSTROM The increasingly globalized world brings with it a strong level of interconnectedness and interdependence among countries. Coffee drinkers in the United States must be aware of the effects of their consumption on coffee producers in the developing world. The fair trade movement helps farmers receive a fairer price for their coffee bean and better the living conditions of the greatly impoverished coffee farming community.The University should be applauded for its awareness and support of the fair trade movement. Nona Golledge, director of KU Dining Services, said all coffee sold through the University was considered fair trade. Golledge said the University's coffee came from The Roasterie, a business located in Kansas City, Mo. She said many of the coffees it sold were fair trade certified, and those that aren't are still considered to be fair trade by the University and Roasterie's standards. Golledge said the owner of The Roasterie traveled around the world to hand-select the beans, always making sure the farmers "They are very aware of the farmers' needs." Golledge said. "Not all of their coffees are certified fair trade, but they follow the guidelines. They just have not taken the steps to get them all certified vet." Makame Muhajir, geography doctoral student and former director of urban planning for Tanzania, said he thought fair trade was an important issue in the increasingly globalized world. "I think trade should be advantageous to all the groups involved in the process," he said. "We are trying to help the people from extreme poverty recover from that level. By having fair trade, you have a balance of economic deals with everyone involved." Muhair explained that fair trade was helping impoverished coffee farmers living in countries such as Ethiopia, Kenya and Columbia organize into unions to make their voices heard. "Fair trade encourages the farmers to group themselves together with cooperatives," he said. "These cooperatives create a much stronger and wider voice for negotiation." Muhairjir went on to say that he thought the University was doing a good job with respect to fair trade. He explained that there were many other products that should be examined with fair trade in mind, such as tea, cocoa, cotton and rubber, but commended the University for its progressive initiatives with coffee Golledge commented on the University's future with fair trade. "We feel that fair trade is important, especially for coffee," she said. "We're always open to other opportunities out there. We are a business and have to do what makes the most business sense to us. We want to do what's right for everything that we have to take into consideration." Overall, the University is making a valid effort in supporting and raising awareness for the fair trade movement. By offering coffee bought from farmers at a fair price, the University is helping to balance the economic relationship with the countries we greatly rely on.

WROLD BEN COLDHAM Artists such as Kweli keep hip hop love alive Hip hop, like every other genre of music, has its one-hit wonders and flavor-of the month artists. They typically blow up for two or three months, plateau, and then are never heard from again (where you at, Soulja Boy?). There have been countless groups and encees over time that have fit this mold and, despite their own desperate attempts to rekindle the initial spark, these has-beens are never quite able to recapture the magic. The reason for this is always the same: They don't have love for real hip hop. Every artist who has experienced success and longevity in the rap game (a very difficult thing to do) has love for real hip hop. And I don't mean love for popping bottles or slangging rocks. I mean a pure love for rocking the microphone, whether it be in a basement or live at the Grammys. Talib Kweli, an exceptionally talented Brooklyn emcee who performed Sunday night at the Granada here in Lawrence, has mad love for real hip hop. In fact, I don't know of any emcee of Kweli's caliber who has been so productive on such a consistent basis for such a long time. NOTES FROM A HIP-HOP HEAD BEN COLDHAM Kweli first truly showcased his unadulterated love for hip hop with Black Star, a collaborative effort with fellow Brooklyn emcee Mos Def, in 1998. The album became an instant classic among hip-hop heads worldwide and garnered widespread praise for its high quality of production and lyricism. Shortly after this release, Kweli recorded an album with now-legendary producer Hi-Tek under the group name Reflection F eternal. The group dubbed the album "Train of Thought," and it, too, was immediately recognized as one of the most ground-breaking hip-hop albums of its generation. Reflection Eternal is working on a new album scheduled to come out this summer, and the super-duo showed up in Lawrence Sunday night to rock the house and promote its release. Fo more than an hour, Kweli and Hi-Tek made the Granada go absolutely insane. Even when performing cuts from the upcoming album, songs no one in the audience knew, the crowd remained estatic and incredibly responsive to Kweli's raw lyrics and knack for keeping up the crowd's energy. The two icons slyly tried to deceive the crowd into thinking they were retiring backstage (an act no one in the crowd bought) only to return a minute later to belt out some more hot tracks. Reflection Eternal topped this all off with the two members switching roles. Kweli hopping behind the turntables while Hi-Tek enforced for about an hour. Audience members who wanted to come on stage were encouraged to do so, and we completely surrounded the two behind the tables. I heard both artists scream "We love Lawrence!" on several BEN'S BEATDOWNS Hot tracks: "The Thrill Is Gone" by Statik Selektah, feat. Styles P and Talib Kweli "Someday" by DJ K.O., feat. Talib Kweli and Torae Ill blogs: Nahright.com, Onsmash.com occasions, and you could tell that Kweli was genuinely having a great time, happily mixing hip-hop classics and watching the break-dancing circles form in front of him. It is this type of interactive experience that real encees offer a crowd. The two could have left after the encore, but decided instead to give fans, myself included, an experience they definitely will not forget any time soon. After all these years touring the world and performing for crowds, Talib Kweli is still passionate about his art and still has a love for real hip hop. Kweli is in the process of developing three new albums, including one with the Reflection Eternal project, and he is featured with artists from every corner of the hip-hop spectrum (check my beatdowns for some titles). This is the reason Kweli has been able to remain successful for so long; he has never lost his love for hip hop, and hip hop has never lost its love for him. Peace.

If you walk through your kitchen barefoot, do hardened crumbs tickle your toes? If this sounds like your residence, you probably live with a few roommates. Your kitchen is filth-ridden because you, as a rational person, don't clean it. Why should you forgo valuable time in front of the TV to scrub a few dishes? Your roommates are probably thinking the same thing, so the cladosporium colony is free to grow into a man-eating monster. You don't listen to your roommates when they tell you to housemates and, likewise, they don't listen to you. The solution to your nauseating nightmare of a kitchen is a well-designed Dirty Dish Tax. Putting a price on dirty dishes will clean up those cookie crumbs faster than Martha Stewart. If you and your roomies agreed that every dirty dish, from forks to frying pans, could be left in the sink at a cost of, say, $1, everyone would think twice before culturing a habitat for malodorous mold. If you were to leave three spoons and two bowls of corn flakes unattended and roommate Rodolfo shined them up, he could tax you a hefty $5. Under the Dirty Dish Tax system, the external cost of dirty dishes on your roommates would be borne by your wallet. This system is much fairer than the traditional method of putting off the cleaning until Marvin Moldy emerges. Let's say cleaning the kitchen takes one hour per week. If you have 17 hours of school, while Rodolfo plays Mob Wars, then one hour of cleaning the kitchen incurs a much greater cost on you than it does Rodolfo. ON FOLLOWING THE INVISIBLE HAND TODD DAVIDSON If cleaning the first pot takes one minute and that minute is worth more than $1, you'll go ahead and clean that pot, but if your plate takes two minutes to spruce up, and you'll be late to work if you don't get out the door, you'll forgo that dollar. Rodolfo doesn't have to worry about getting to work so he's happy to clean up your leftover hashish for a buck. So each roommate cleans to a level that benefits himself. The result is no more living organisms in the kitchen sink. In some cases, the Dirty Dish Tax may not work. Implementing a Dirty Dish Tax will be more difficult with more dish-diryting dudes in the hacienda. If you live with 10 roommates and only three want to play the game, you will not escape the fragrance of moist, week-old pizza crust or fusty old beer. And you might also want to implement some sort of exchange rate. If all dishes cost $1 to clean, odds are you will have plenty of clean spoons, but the great tower of "Pot, Kettle and Pan" will be built for all who enter the kitchen to marvel at. If the repulsive aroma of putrefied peaches and moldering mashed potatoes is not enough incentive to turn you into Mr. Clean, try implementing the Dirty Dish Tax and maybe the almighty dollar will push you and your buds to keep the foray of fungi at bay. Davidson is a Tonganoxie senior in economics. FROM MISSOURI BY CHARLES AUSTIN U. Missouri The Maneater Swine flu and a dinosaur epidemic As you read this, dinosaurs are attacking the White House. The Associated Press is reporting dinosaur sightings across Virginia and Washington, with rumors that the creatures have spread as far as New York. Scientists fear a massive dinosaur migration toward Houston once they realize how delicious fat people are. I realize now that half of my readers are probably already running toward Seattle in an effort to lose weight and escape the dinosaur menace. But if anyone is still around, I must admit that I was a little hasty in my opening remarks. I saw "urassic Park" on TV and mistook it for a live news feed for a moment. How did they get those dinosaurs to act, anyway? But the truth is, I'm not the only one getting carried away in baseless fear-mongering these days. According to CNN, people are spreading all sorts of misinformation about swine flu over Twitter. Finally, spreading bad information isn't just for the government and H.G. Wells radio broadcasts. With the latest technology, every day people like you and me can propagate bullshit to millions of people, just like the pros do. The moment I'm writing this, swine flu has killed a staggeringly low number of people in the U.S. I say this is staggering because, according to a Nielsen Online report, 2 percent of all Twitter posts Monday related to the swine flu. When one out of every 50 posts is about an illness, I would expect it to be the plague or the T-Virus. It's especially ridiculous when you consider that, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 36,000 people die every year in the U.S. alone from normal flu-related symptoms. But your average run of the mill flu isn't exciting enough for the average Joe the Plumber to get worked up about, no matter how deadly it may be. I would go post on Twitter right now about how I'm still alive and how everyone in the country is still alive, but unfortunately, 100 percent of people who can read are alive, meaning this news is shocking to no one. But I'm pretty sure I hear a dinosaur outside my window right now, so I think I'll go Twitter about that. — UWire HOW TO SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITOR LETTER GUIDELINES Send letters to opinion.kansan.com Write LETTER TO THE EDITOR in the e-mail subject line.

But this year it's bigger and more culturally diverse, said Megan Turner, Olathe senior and student outreach coordinator. Last year's art festival had 10 local and student artists selling artwork, but this year's festival will have 28 artists. "Last year, it was just the arts festival," she said. "This year, we've added 'cultural festival' to the title and opened it to different cultural groups." Student organizers of the festival added the cultural aspect to celebrate the diversity of campus organizations. Amy Gairs, Leawood freshman and SUAs cultural arts coordinator.

Astrid Houchin, president of the Peruvian Association, said four student dancers in the group would perform traditional dances. A Peruvian musician in the organization will play the pan flute, drums and other instruments. "The focus of our organization is to promote the knowledge of Peruvian culture," Houchin, Lima, Peru, sophomore, said. "We're going to perform dances from the highlands and rainforests." Houchin is also a painting major, and she will sell some of her paintings at the festival. Several other members of the Peruvian Association will also sell watercolor paintings and other artwork.

The festival lasts from noon to 4 p.m. on the museum's front lawn and street space between the Kansas Union and the museum. Mississippi Street will be closed to traffic during the festival. "We're going to fill that space up with as much art and culture as we can," said Melissa Melling, Leawood sophomore and the festival committee director.

Matt Bristow/KANSAN Spending continues downward slide as savings rate stays over 4 percent ECONOMY BY JEANNINE AVERSA Associated Press WASHINGTON Consumer spending fell more than expected two straight monthly gains, a stark reminder of a fragile economy that has pushed a record number of Americans to draw jobless benefits. "Whether the recovery begins later this year ... or takes a bit longer is hard to know." The Commerce Department said Thursday that CHRISTINA ROMER Economic adviser Traders work on the floor at the New York Stock Exchange in New York on Thursday.

The layhawks sent their coach out on a high note, defeating Texas A&M 4-1 in the rain-shortened series. Thunderstorms reduced what was originally scheduled as a doubleheader to a single contest. With the victory, Kansas ended its 14-game losing streak to the Aggies, which dated back to 2002. "First and foremost, this win was great for the kids," Bunge said. "It's been a struggle this year, but we've come a long way to play this well down the stretch." The season has had its ups and downs for Kansas, 21-28 overall and 6-9 in the Big 12. But the team has played some of its best ball lately, having won four of its past five games. The Jayhawks picked up where they left off in Wichita, jumping out to an early lead. Sophomore shortstop Kolby Fessmire kicked off the scoring in the third inning when she smacked a solo home run to deep center field. The blast was the first of her Jayhawk career. The round-tripper seemed to spark the Jayhawks, who quickly loaded the bases for junior first baseman Amanda Jobe. Jobe promptly lined a sharp single to "I was joking with Allie Clark before the game, having her rub my bat trying to get some of her power into it." Fesmire said, referencing Clark's team-leading 10 home runs.

Sophomore infielder Tony Thompson gets a high-five after crossing home plate during the Javhawks' game against Chicago State Tuesday. THIS WEEKEND It's why the season's end, and more importantly this weekend's matchup against second place Oklahoma (33-12, 11-7), is more crucial than ever before. With nine Big 12 games remaining, Kansas has an opportunity to earn the most Big 12 victories in coach Ritch Price's tenure. QU Matt Bristow/KANSAN The previous best was in 2006, when the Jayhawks' total was at 13. That was also the season Kansas won the Big 12 championship.

In fact, only freshman starter Lee Ridenhour has picked up a victory on the road against Big 12 competition. It was the only victory for starting pitchers on the road. "Walz and Hall and Ridenhour have now had the opportunity to go to Texas A&M, to go to Texas Tech", Price said.

Walz have experienced road games, their performance, along with Ridenhour's, will improve. Thompson isn't worried or pressing however. His batting average is still .356, and a slump is expected during a long season. "I just need to make better pitch selection and hopefully it'll get better in the next couple of games." Thompson said. "I think I can get through it as long as I keep doing what I'm doing." 2 Price took the same approach as Thompson did regarding his mini-slump.

This is the last column I will be writing as a student at Kansas, so color me a little sentimental. The senior athletes always get their special recognition days during their seasons, so I want to borrow that idea and recognize the senior fans, and what they've been able to witness the past four years at the University. Let's talk about their contributions first. Allen Fieldhouse has always been a big draw, but Memorial Stadium has grown on KU fans over the past four years and the senior fans have helped with that. They've kept the atmosphere at Allen Fieldhouse electric, which has helped the Jayhawks keep up the nation's longest current home winning streak. The seniors have also been part of the record sell-out crowds at Memorial Stadium over the past couple years. The senior class has seen some great athletes pass through Kansas as well. Current member of the PGA, Gary Woodland, spent time on campus with these seniors. These seniors have seen some of the best softball players in Kansas' history as well, including Serena Settlemier and Kassie Humphreys. They saw some talented football players, such as Charles Gordon and Aqib Talib, rebuild this Kansas program. And let's not forget the NBA talent that helped lead Kansas to its national championship: Darnell Jackson, Mario Chalmers, Brandon Rush and Darrell Arthur, as well as Julian Wright. The seniors have seen banner years from many sports in their time here at Kansas. Most notably, the football team progressed extremely well over the last four years. The senior class saw three bowl games — including a victory in the Orange Bowl — in four years, something no other class has ever done. They also saw the first national championship in basketball in twenty years. Heck, they almost saw the basketball team win the Big 12 Tournament every year they were here. I don't want to forget the other sports though. Baseball and softball both won Big 12 championships in the past four years. The volleyball team made it into the NCAA Tournament. The soccer team made it into the NCAA Tournament and got a victory in the first round. The rest of KU athletics have had their ups and downs. Personally, I've been extremely lucky to witness some of Kansas' sporting greatness firsthand. I went to all three bowl games and followed the Jayhawks twice on their road through the NCAA tournament (unfortunately not on their championship run though). This senior class has been lucky to witness some great Kansas teams over the past four years. I won't forget the past four years, and the rest of the senior class can take these sports memories with them and look back on them fondly as a part of their time here at Kansas. — Edited by Casey Miles 2B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, MAY 1, 2009 QUOTE OF THE DAY "Right now, we are being advised by our Medical Advisory Committee to shut down all activities until further notice.

Keefer reflects on 4 years at sports desk Associated Press COMMENTARY I told myself I would never write this. I had no plans to go out on a sappy, sentimental senior column. Not my thing. Too bad I lied to myself. Because the truth is, when I realized I only had a couple weeks left studying at the University of Kansas and living in Lawrence. I got reflective. I started thinking about everything I'll miss. I'm going to miss racquetball at the recreation center. I'm going to miss the chicken finger basket at Yacht Club. I'm going to miss shows at the Bottleneck. But you know what I'm going to miss the most? What you're reading right now. The University Daily Kansan. To say anything else at the University had near the impact on me that the Kansan did would be a straight lie. My run with The Kansan started four years ago. I moseyed around the basketball courts at the recreation center with a notepad and pen back then, looking for intramural games to write stories about. BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com Had no idea what I was doing. Didn't matter. I remember covering a semifinal intramural game and the celebration that ensured for the victors. Something clicked. "I love this," I thought. "I could do this for the rest of my life." It's still to be determined if I'll write about sports for the rest of my life. Who knows? But either way, The Kansan has provided me with enough memories of doing what I love to last me for the rest of my life. I'll remember being in the press box to watch Justin Gatlin fly in the Kansas Relays and how he tested positive for a banned substance after the race. I'll remember women's basket ball games three years ago when Shaquina Mosley's buzzer-bater at Texas would be shown on the Allen Fieldhouse big screen five times per game because it was the only good thing that happened all year. I'll remember Agib Talibs 100+ yard interception return that even coach Mark Mangino had to admit was special after a worthless non-conference football game. I'll remember dodging Kansas State fans as they rushed the Bramlage Coliseum floor after the Wildcats ended the Jayhawks' 24-game winning streak in Manhattan and all the hate mail they sent me the next day for my column. I'll remember being along for every step of the ride of the most improbable season in recent college football memory — the 2007 Kansas Jayhawks — and seeing how it culminated in Miami. I'll remember being sports editor and helping put together the most famous Kansan ever — April 8, 2008, after Kansas won the national championship. THE MORNING BREW I'll remember something specific from each of the more than 50 basketball games I covered at Allen Fieldhouse. I'm going to miss my spot on press row in Allen Fieldhouse. I'm going to miss my slot on Fridays in the Morning Brew. I'm going to miss seeing my name in The Kansan. I'll remember shaking hands with Gale Sayers. I'll remember meeting Charles Barkley. — Edited by Justin Leverett MLB Buck drives Royals to victory over Jays Catcher's two triples help team secure series win over Toronto BY DOUG TUCKER Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — John Buck has a term for the type of triples he was knocking around Kauffman Stadium on Thursday. "Well-placed," the 230-pound catcher said with a big grin. Buck tripled twice and drove in five runs, and the Kansas City Royals turned six double plays in an 8-6 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. The Royals took three of four from the Blue Jays, who hit town on Monday leading the AL East with the best record in the majors. Toronto, for the first time in team history, had started the year by winning six consecutive series of at least three games. "Offensively, it feels good to pick up the pitching staff for a change," said Kansas City's Billy Butler, who had six hits and five RBIs in the last two games of the series. "We feel good out there." The Royals tied their club record by turning six double plays. The Blue Jays tied a team The Royals hadn't turned six double plays since 1972 but grounded into six themselves just last week in Cleveland. "That's a lot of double plays," Toronto center fielder Vernon Wells said. "It was frustrating." Buck hit a two-run triple off Brian Burres (0-2) in the second inning, a sacrifice fly in the third and another two-run triple off Bryan Bullington in the fifth. He also doubled in the eighth. Royals 14 "I wasn't even thinking triple," he said of his final at-bat. "I was just hoping I'd get to second and he didn't throw me out."

But Nebraska isn't Oklahoma, and Kansas will be away from the friendly confines of Hogland Ballpark, where its record is 21-3.

"The reason we're swinging the bat better is we have our team batting average up over .300." Price said. "It's a byproduct, I think, of the experience the young guys have gotten. Now they're not playing like freshmen." Sophomore outfielder Brian Heere has seen the young players like himself grow throughout the season. He said the maturation of this season's team has led to the success. The problem is they're going to have to sustain it to finish well this season. "Being on the road, you can easily get down on yourself," Heere said. "It's going to take maturity to keep your head up if you're struggling or just to grind through it.

ASSOCIATED PRESS LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Bob Baffert had so much success in his early years at the Kentucky Derby he thought it would go on forever. Three wins in six years will do that. Then karma caught up and sent him into a humbling slide. He's hoping to change his luck Saturday, when he saddles Pioneerof the Nile, the early cosecond choice in the morning line. The colt is Baffert's first serious contender since he won his third HORSE RACING Baffert hit rock bottom in 2001 after Point Given, sent off as the 9-5 favorite, was second turning for home and wound up fifth. His other horse, Congaree, led with a quarter-mile to go only to get beaten by four lengths. For the first time in a while, so does Baffert. Louisville feels like home to the Southern California-based trainer. He met Jill, his second wife, at Baffert's drive sustained him when the lean times hit. Three of his richest clients died, cutting off his flow of good horses and money to spend at the sales. Churchill Downs and now their 4-year-old son, Bode, returns with them. He is back at the Derby this year with his first starter since 2006, when he ran three horses and none finished better than ninth. If Pioneer of the Nile wins Saturday, Baffert would tie fellow Hall of Famer Lukas and H.J. If he wins, Baffert said his thoughts would be of everyone who helped him get there, including his aging parents watching on television back in Nogales, Ariz.

Pitcher Rhiannon Klesing provided her own run support, getting A&M on the scoreboard with her solo home run in the fourth inning. But from then on Valerie George and her rise ball were too much for the Aggies to handle. After throwing six scoreless innings against Wichita State on Tuesday, the senior hurler struck out four and allowed only two hits to A&M batters on Thursday. George worked her 16th complete game of the year en route to her 10th victory. "I came into the game not thinking about it being my last at home," George said. "I just wanted to come out and have a strong performance, especially for myself and the other seniors." Bunge wasn't the only one bidding farewell to Arrocha, as George and her four fellow seniors played their final home game as well. The victory over Texas & MK, 29-19 overall and 6-9 in the Big 12, was important for the Jayhawks, as it bumped them into a tie for sixth place in the Big 12. They also hold the tiebreaker over the Aggies. With a sweep this weekend against Iowa State, Kansas could be in even better shape for post-season consideration. "We've had some ugly losses there the past couple of years," George said. "But it's their senior weekend, so we want to go down there and rain on their parade." PGA Business aside. Bunge was full of emotion after the game as she reminisced about her 13 seasons at the helm of Kansas softball. "It's going to be a dogfight," Bunge said. "We need to match their intensity on senior day. Today's win only matters if we take care of business this weekend." Bunge was also focused on matching the energy of the Cyclones. "I've got a lot of great emotions and great memories from this place," she said. "It feels good to go out with a win." Edited by Grant Treaster Quail Hollow has less grass, big stars ASSOCIATED PRESS That thick rough lining the fairways is gone, too. CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A bank's name in the tournament title isn't the only thing missing at Quail Hollow. "There's definitely a different setup," said Jim Furyk, a past winner of what is now the Quail Hollow Championship. "We've come here a lot of times where the rough has been very deep, thick. It's been a huge premium on accuracy. And the rough is very low this year, as low as I've seen it, and probably as low as I've seen it in almost any tour event I've ever played, outside of Harbourtown. "Obviously, it's a different style." Besides, tour players never agree on everything. Quail Hollow — previously known as the Wachovia Championship, with no mention of Wells Fargo — established itself as one of the premier courses on the PGA Tour when it made its debut in 2003. Players love coming to this tournament, which shows in a field that has attracted Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Geoff Ogilvy, Sergio Garcia, defending champion Anthony Kim and a host of other stars. "This is one of those tournances that probably has a little bit more of a green light to kind of mess around with the setup and see what's best and what's not, because the players like the course so much." Furyk said. Those who hit it straight off the tee tend to prefer thick rough that will punish those who are more wild. The power players would rather see shorter roughs to allow them to escape from errant tee shots. Phil Mickelson will be playing for the first time since the Masters, against Masters champion Angel Cabrera and runner-up Chad Campbell. The other Masters runner-up, Kenny Perry, is missing because he's serving as grand marshal at a Kentucky Derby parade in his native state. There was a buzz on Wednesday, rare for a pro-am round. Then again, how often do fans get to see the No.1 player in golf and a three-time MVP from the NFL in the same group. That would be Woods and Peyton Manning, playing a pro-am together for the first time since Bay Hill four years ago. "Ran the wrong route," Manning said to himself after yet another errant shot into the gallery. Woods took a few days after the Masters to reflect on what he did wrong, and he said it took a reminder from those around him that even without a green jacket, life isn't awful. In four tournaments since returning from knee surgery, he has a victory and two top 10s. Woods won in 2007 under thicker conditions, and he didn't say which way he preferred that it play. Not that it matters. The lowest score still wins, and Quail Hollow has produced some big winners — David Toms, Vijay Singh, Furky, Woods and Kim. The greens are quick, which remind him of Augusta. As for the lack of rough? "I've never seen it this short," he said. Need Credits?

All-Star catcher Mauer will make his season debut on Friday night, against the Kansas City Royals. Twins' catcher to play at Kansas City MLB BY JON KRAWCZYNSKI Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Twins have been treading water through the first month of the season, doing everything they can to keep pace with their AL Central rivals while Joe Mauer recovered from a mysterious back injury. "Obviously that guy in the lineup is going is going to make a huge difference." Despite a tough early schedule and mediocre performances by top starters Scott Baker and NICK BLACKBURN Minnesota Twins starter Francisco Liriano, the Twins got through the month at 11-11 and just a half-game out of first place. Now Mauer is finally ready to go. He is expected to play Friday night against Kansas City at the Metrodome, and the Twins hope the return of their All-Star catcher and reigning AI batting champion will be just the boost they need to get on a roll. It's been a difficult five months for the pride of St. Paul. He had surgery in December to repair a painful blockage in his kidney, then developed back problems that caused him to miss all of spring training. The injury went through several diagnoses before team doctors settled on inflammation "Obviously that guy in the lineup is going to make a huge difference," starter Nick Blackburn said. "I'm excited to see him out there and I think we're all looking forward to it." in the sacroiliac joint, which connects the spine to the pelvis. Mauer started the season on the disabled list, but has shown steady improvement while rehabbing in Florida. In five games with Class A Fort Myers, Mauer hit 400 in 15 at-bats with two doubles, two walks and four RBIs. Manager Ron Gardenhire said he will insert Mauer in his customary third spot in the batting order, which will allow slugger Justin Morneau to slide into his more natural cleanup role. "He's a great player," Gardenhire said. "When you have that guy calling a game and controlling a running game, and the way he swings the bat in the middle of your lineup, he's a good player." Mauer has won two of the American League's last three batting titles, but the Twins may miss him even more on defense. Veteran backup Mike Redmond has been hampered by a groin injury and a sore shoulder, so the team has been using youngster Jose Morales, who has a good bat but has struggled defensively. Twins catchers have thrown out only one base runner attempting Mauer, the former Florida State quarterback recruit, threw out 36 percent of base stealers last season. "He stops everything. He eliminates that," Gardenhire said. "If the pitchers give him a chance, he will throw them out. So there's a lot of things he brings. It's not just one area. That's why he's an All-Star." Mauer played his last rehab game on Tuesday and traveled up to the Twin Cities to meet with doctors on Wednesday. The Twins were off Thursday, giving him a day to rest up and prepare to take over when the Twins open a series against the Royals on Friday. Rays manager Joe Maddon said Mauer's return will change the complexion of the Twins. an entire organization, not having him there," Maddon said. "We're talking about offensively, defensively, just his presence." "One man can really impact But the Twins are cautioning fans not to view Mauer as a savior. At least not right away. "One man can really impact an entire organization, not having him there." "You just kind of plug Joe in there and not try to put too much JOE MADDON Rays manager pressure on him," Morneau said. "He hasn't had too many at-bats to get ready for the season. We let him get in, get settled. Hopefully we'll pick him up for a while and then he'll do what he can do." Even without Mauer, the Twins are starting to show signs of improvement. After a disastrous trip to Boston — they were outscored 17-4 in a doubleheader sweep — the Twins took two of three from Cleveland and Tampa Bay to move to .500. "As far as back injuries go, I think everyone in the world knows that those aren't fun and they can come back up." Gardenhire said. "We'll just have to play it by ear." Gardenhire plans to take it easy with Mauer initially, fearing too much work too soon could cause the back injury to flare up again. OLYMPICS Track gold winner busted for doping Fourth track and field competitor, Ramzi, stripped of medals KENYA 287 BAHRAIN 1256 BY EDDIE PELLS Associated Press ASSOCIATED PRESS Bahrain's Rashid Ramzi, right, reacts after winning the men's 1500-meter at the National Stadium at the Beijing 2008 Olympics on Aug. 19. The Bahrain Olympic Committee said Wednesday that the gold medalist Rashid Ramzi tested positive for dooming at the Beijing Games. With a gold medalist in one of its top events busted for doping at the Beijing Games, the troubled sport of track and field is once again at the center of an Olympic drug scandal. Bahrain's Rashid Ramzi, the 1500-meter champion and his country's first gold medalist in track, was among three track athletes—and a half-dozen Olympians in all—snagged in the latest game of cat-and-mouse between cheaters and those who try to nail them. The twist in the nabbing of Ramzi and the rest was their drug of choice. It's called CERA, a new form of EPO, which increases endurance by stimulating production of red blood cells. Olympic drug testers recently came up with a way to detect CERA. They called for retesting of 948 samples taken from the Beijing Olympics; many of those retests were looking for CERA. Six came back positive. One was from weightlifting, two from cycling — including a silver medalist — and three from track. Of the four medals that have already been stripped for doping violations from Beijing, three were from track and field. Ramzi's would make it four. Granted, there are more athletes and more tests in track than other sports. Still, this is hardly the news that the sport hopes to generate after decades of continually trying to reinvent itself as clean. "Honestly, track and field didn't need another blow like this," said Dee Dee Trotter, a 2004 American gold medalist who runs the antidoping Web site Test Me I'm Clean. "Our reputation is truly depleting and it doesn't help when fans who have long loved the sport begin to doubt what they see." Though the 1,500-meter race isn't immensely popular in America, in international circles, it is considered right up there with the 100 meters as the most popular PIZZA PAPA JOHNS Large 1 topping pizza $6.99 THIS SATURDAY, MAY 2!

It's the metric mile, a distance the common man runs for recreation and a long-standing test of both speed and endurance at the elite level. The fact that Bahrain got its first Olympic track gold in the event made it that much more special. Calls to Ramzi and his coach seeking comment were unanswered. Accused women's weight-lifter Yudelquis Contreras of the Dominican Republic issued a strong denial, telling The Associated Press: "I know I am clean." If Ramzi's positive test is upheld through the appeals process, the medal will go to Asbel Kipruto Track and field medals have been stripped and redistributed for decades, though the scandals of the last decade have taken on more sinister elements of multilayered doping programs and attempts to cover them up. "But that's one of the worst things about it, is that they'll send it to him in the mail," Trotter said. "You want your time to shine. You can't get that back. You never take that victory lap, never enjoy that moment the way it was designed for the winner to enjoy it." Kiprop of Kenya, one of Africa's more traditional running powerhouses.

When the Blue Springs, Mo., freshman was looking at schools, he went down to Fayetteville for an official visit and the decision came down to Arkansas and Kansas. "Arkansas didn't have a good hurdles coach that Kansas does." Porter said. "I'm excited to go back there, it looks like it will be fun to run out there." Today the Jayhawks compete in the Arkansas Twilight in Fayetteville. It's the Jayhawks last regular season meet before competing at the Big 12 Conference Outdoor Championships. "It's our last opportunity before the Big 12s to prepare ourselves for the Big 12s and we're looking forward to going there," coach Stanley Redwine said. ARKANSASTWILIGHT Today's meet is the second time this season that the team has competed at Arkansas, a place the WHO: Kansas Track & Field WHAT: Arkansas Twilight WHEN: Today WHERE: Fayetteville, Ark. team has become familiar with. Senior distance runner Patrick McGowan surmounts a hurdle midway through the men's steeplechase event at the Kansas Relays on April 17. McGowan will compete in the steeplechase at the Arkansas Twilight today. "It's up there with some of the best facilities in track and field," junior pole-vaulter Ryan Hays said. Hays said the Arkansas Twilight was different from other meets because of its schedule of events. “It's fun because it's a little bit later and you're not under the hot sun like we usually are.” Hays said. 6 For freshman Rebeka Stowe, who will compete in the steepechase today, getting a victory could lead to two things: regionally qualifying for the Midwest Regionals and possibly qualifying for the US Juniors Championships. Collegiate athletes have the opportunity of competing at the Juniors Championships if they are 19 or younger. length of the Steeplechase has been enjoyable. "It's been different," Stowe said. "I've enjoyed the challenges of the hurdles and it just adds another aspect to running, and that's good for me." Like Stowe, senior Patrick McGowan will also compete in the steeplechase. But McGowan, a Springdale, Ark., native, is considering today a home meet because it's only 15 minutes from where he lived during high school. For Stowe, taking on the chal Ryan McGeeney/KANSAN "I have a lot of family and friends coming to watch," McGowan said. "This weekend is my mom's birthday; hopefully I run well and give her an early birth present." McGowan last competed in the steeplechase at the Kansas Relays, where he came in second, but said the race was positive and was ready to go out and run a good time at the next meet. For Kansas' relay teams, the Arkansas Twilight is a chance to regionally qualify after coming up short at other meets. "We've only been a tenth of a second off," sophomore Kendra Bradley said about their 4X400 relay performance. "We've changed our relay up and everyone's feeling better so I think we can go out and get it this weekend." This weekend will feature the debut of the men's 4X100 relay team, which will be made up of junior Reggie Carter, sophomore Alex Carey, freshmen Keyen Porter and freshman Keith Hayes. The Jayhawks currently have 11 athletes who have regionally qualified in 13 events. Redwine said he was eager for the opportunity to double that number at today's meet. "It would be nice to triple that number," Redwine said with a smile. - Edited by Grant Treaster Rodriguez faces more accusations of steroid use MLB 2 ASSOCIATED PRESS New York Yankees' Alex Rodriguez flies out during an extended spring training game, at the Yankees minor league complex in Tampa, Fla., on Thursday. Rodriguez is rehabilitating after hip surgery. New book claims three-time MVP winner used in high school and with Yankees BY RONALD BLUM Associated Press NEW YORK - A new, unflattering biography of Alex Rodriguez reportedly says he may have used steroids as early as high school and as late as with the New York Yankees, charges the star wouldn't address Thursday as he readied for a return to the major leagues. Rodriguez admitted in February to using steroids while with the Texas Rangers from 2001-03, but insisted he stopped before he was traded to the Yankees in February 2004. He brushed off a question Thursday about details from Sports Illustrated writer Selena Roberts' upcoming book "A-Rod" that cast doubt on his earlier statements. won two games (in a row) up there and hopefully I can come back and help them win some more," he said. "I'm not going there," he said after homering in an extended spring training intrasquad game in Tampa, Fla. Rodriguez has been rehabbing from hip surgery in March and hasn't played for the Yankees this season. The Daily News reported in Thursday's edition that Roberts' book offers an portrait of the three-time AL MVP as a needy personality who wanted his ego stroked constantly and a player "I'm just so excited about being back on the field and playing baseball. My team has "I'm not going there." ALEX RODRIGUEZ Yankees third baseman who tipped opponents to pitches in blowout games, hoping the favor would get returned someday. didn't say how it obtained a copy of the Harper Collins book, scheduled for release Monday. A high school teammate of A-Rod's told Roberts that the future No. 1 draft pick was on steroids as a prep player and his coach knew it — an allegation the coach, Rich Hofman, denied. Rodriguez said he wasn't worried that the steroids issue was being brought up again. "No. Not really," he said. "I'm in a good place. I think more importantly physically I feel like I'm getting better everyday. We've had a great week here. We've worked extremely hard, and I'm just very anxious to do what God put me on this earth to do, to play baseball." Rodriguez went 1 for 6 with two walks as a designated hitter in Thursday's extended spring game. He had a long homer to left-center in his sixth plate appearance. The book also goes on to say that two anonymous Yankees said they believed A-Rod was using banned substances based on visual side effects, and that a He was slated to play in another extended spring game Friday against Pirates minor leaguers at Pittsburgh's complex in Bradenton. Rodriguez said he needs to run the bases at full speed and is still on target to return to the Yankees in May. Yankees manager Joe Girardi said he expects A-Rod will play third base on either Saturday or Monday. "I think the last thing I'm going to do here before I leave is sliding," Rodriguez said. "I think sliding is probably the thing I have the most reservation about because you have to get on your hip and bounce on it a little bit. Everything else seems so far on schedule." In the book, an unidentified major leaguer is quoted as saying A-Rod and former Yankees pitcher Kevin Brown, who was named in the Mitchell Report on performance-enhancing clubhouse staff said management had a suspicion that that the third baseman may have been juicing. drug use, were seen together with human growth hormones in 2004. teammate of Rodriguez's with Texas in 2003, said he had never heard the pitch-tipping allegation. Los Angeles Angels manager Mike Scioscia said he had never been aware of a player letting opponents know what pitches were coming. Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira, a Girardi isn't dwelling on the steroids issue in Rodriguez's past and recommends A-Rod deal with it the same way. Rodriguez could be on track to rejoin the Yankees when they are in Baltimore from May 8-10. JOE GIRARDI Yankees manager "We're going to move on, and Alex has talked about how he's going to move on." move on, and Alex has talked about how he's going to move on. And to me the focus about Alex Rodriguez is he had eight at-bats today." "That's insane. That's not what we're not out on the field for. So if it is going on, it's obviously, you know, crosses a line of integrity that, you know, couldn't be breached," he said. "It's a tough thing to obviously document and prove and, you know, you don't give it much thought because, you know, you certainly work on the assumption — there's no reason why you wouldn't — that everybody on your team is out there trying to win."

CAMPUS 5A UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY, MAY 4, 2009 WWW.KANSAN.COM VOLUME 120 ISSUE 149 FAREWELL AFTER 14 YEARS STRONG HALL Jerry Wang/KANSAN Chancellor Robert Hemenway is retiring in June after 14 years at the University of Kansas. "You reach a point when you feel like you've done a lot and you've been quite successful," he said. "But you also want to leave open the possibility that a new leader will be able to accommodate more." Leaving a lasting legacy As Hemenway prepares to retire, he and others look back at how he's made his mark as chancellor BY JENNIFER TORLINE jtorline@kansan.com Nearly every morning with his wife, Leah, and dog, Cassie, Chancellor Robert Hemenway leaves his house, walks past the Chi Omega Fountain and down West Campus Road. He passes Joseph R. Pearson Hall and stops at the light pole near the corner of 11th street. Before he continues, he clenches the fingers on his right hand and knocks his knuckles on the pole. "I like to think it's for good luck," he said during a recent walk. But it's taken more than luck for Hemenway to accomplish what he has as the University of Kansas' 16th chancellor. When he retires in June after a 14-year tenure, his record will show he oversaw the doubling of money raised each year for research, an increase in minority students and faculty by more than 40 percent, and a completion of more than 100 building and renovation projects. He will leave behind a university that is ranked 40th among 164 public universities in U.S. News and World Report's annual rankings, with 28 of its programs in the top 30 among public schools nationally. And as expected of any leader with a long tenure, he will leave with his share of criticism for actions such as pushing for tuition increases and trying to staff St. Luke's Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., with medical residents. Even the University's ascension as a national powerhouse in basketball and football, which has garnered huge support from alumni and others, has made some complain that Hemenway has supported athletics at the expense of other areas. But most people interviewed for this story, including former Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, said he struck the right balance. @ KANSAN.COM Check Kansan.com for an interactive flash timeline of Chancellor Hemenway's career at the University. "One of the hallmarks of a wellrounded university is that you need to do many things simultaneously;" Sebelius said in a recent e-mail. "KU has proven they can do that. So, the debate about athletics vs. education will go on and KU will continue to show they can be focused on both of those areas." She pointed to 2008 when the University was nationally ranked in basketball and football at the same time as the pharmacy school and debate team.

REMEMBRANCE Free State senior's passion was music BY ALEXANDRA GARRY agarry@kansan.com Friends, teachers and fellow Lawrence Free State High School choir members gathered in the school's music room Sunday afternoon to remember Aezra DuttonHurt, an 18-year-old senior who died at Naismith Hall on Friday morning. The cause of his death has not yet been determined. "This was his sanctuary," Hilary Morton, director of choirs at Free State, said of the music room. DuttonHurt was a member of all four of Free State's choirs and friends said was passionate about music. "If he wasn't singing, he was on the computer, working on making his own music," Kathy Olcott-Marshall, a friend of DuttonHurt, said. "He really wanted to teach music, too." Morton said DuttonHurt had been accepted to the University and was looking forward to majoring in vocal performance or music education. DuttonHurt had a difficult home life at times, but found solace in his musical talent, she said. "Music was something he knew he was good at, something he felt good doing. He felt the most free and appreciated when he was singing" she said. Morton said DuttonHurt had been staying with various friends for about a month, including several KU students who made up a "strong support system." Many friends are dealing with feelings of guilt as they wonder what more they could have done, Morton said. DuttonHurt's death was the third on or near campus in two months. "All we can do is learn from these things or these people die in vain." Morton said. Both the University and Free State have provided counselors for students.

The NCAA and member schools' compliance departments, whose job is to ensure its school abides by NCAA rules and regulations, are looking at Facebook groups created by students who try to influence a recruit's college decision. . Group: John Wall, I'll pay you to come to KU Join Group Size: 9 members Type: Sports & Recreation - College Sports Group: Greg Monroe, Come to KU. (We'll Get a Championship) Join Group Size: 101 members Type: Sports & Recreation - College Sports Matches: Name and Description Schuh said the NCAA and its member schools wanted to restrict as much outside influence on a prospective student athlete's choice of school as possible. According to the NCAA, a Facebook page is simply a high-tech way to influence recruits. "Individual schools need to be PLEASE come to NC STATE!!!" the Athletics Department sent him a cease-and-desist letter, which is a request to halt activity or face legal action. Moseley complied by changing the name to "Bring a National Title back to NC STATE." After Taylor Moseley, a North Carolina State student, created a Facebook group titled, "John Wall on their toes as to what is taking place out there on the Internet," said Cameron Schuh, associate director of public and media relations for the NCAA. "It's up to the institutions to monitor social media sites that come across their desk." NIKE NBA CAMP 89 The creators of Facebook groups that target basketball recruiters may receive a cease-and-desist letter from the NCAA, as did the North Carolina State student who made the group, "John Wall, PLEASE come to NC STATE!" The NCAA does not want outside influences to affect a prospective student athlete's school choice. "It's really difficult to put our hands around. It's nearly impossible to monitor everything that goes out there on the Web." This incident has placed Facebook on the radars of many compliance departments across the country. THERESA BECKER Associate athletics director case, this could mean that they may not have the privilege of buying tickets to athletics events, or may be denied the opportunity to be a member of a student organization that supports Kansas Athletics. Theresa Becker, associate athletics director for compliance, said Kansas' Compliance Department was well aware of the NC State case that received national attention. "It is the Athletics Department's responsibility to distance and disassociate themselves from that individual so that the NCAA would understand that Athletics "We have actually had a discussion with the North Carolina $^{6}$." staff to compare notes and make sure we were interpreting and looking at things in the same way," Becker said. Becker said when a booster or a student refused to comply with the NCAA by-law, the next step would be disassociation. In a student's Photo courtesy of Facebook.com is not involved with and does not agree with how that student is misrepresenting the activities of the department," Becker said. "I think social networks make a lot of noise, but in the end, I don't think that's what a recruit bases Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said that by and large, the decisions of recruits were a result of the success of a certain program and the relationship that the recruit formed with the coaching staff. Becker said it was a difficult and frustrating task to monitor new technological developments and social networking sites, such as Facebook. "It's really difficult to put our hands around," Becker said. "It's nearly impossible to monitor everything that goes out there on the Web." Schuh also said that the NCAA instructed schools to look out for his or her decision on," Marchiony said. Schuh of the NCAA said the social networking "craze" was currently under discussion within the Division-1 recruiting cabinet. He said it was deciding how to handle the effects of technology and its latest applications. Greg Shippy, Overland Park junior, who was a member of the "Greg Monroe, Come to KU (We'll Get a Championship)" Facebook group, said that high school prospects didn't have to visit a Web site recruiting them to a specific school. Shippy also said it should be the responsibility of the recruit and whoever guided him or her through the recruiting process to avoid Facebook groups from influencing the decision. DESCRIPTION FOR THE JOHN WALL, I'LL PAY YOU TO COME TO KU' FACEBOOK GROUP "Quit listening to all those other groups, John. I have what it takes to get you to come to Kansas. I have cash money. I have an Escalade. It's all yours when you declare to Kansas. Think about it, John. Not only will you get the "Price is Right" prizes, but you'll get all the KU beauties as well. My girlfriend will sleep with you 4 times a week. Just come to KU!" Facebook groups that are made by someone with malicious intentions. After the NC State group made national news, a Facebook group called "John Wall, I'll pay you to come to KU" was created. Marchiony said it was a little unrealistic to think that schools could monitor the Internet constantly, but that it was the Athletics Department's responsibility, as a member of the NCAA, to abide by the rules regarding recruiting influences. "We don't want to stifle the creativity, the imagination or the enthusiasm that the students have for our athletics program, but we in college athletics have to be aware of what effects it has on recruiting," Marchiony said.

Lacy talked about how she is the only women to have served as a cabinet secretary in two federal departments under two presidents. She served in the U.S. Department of Transportation under Ronald Regan and the Department of Labor under George H.W. Bush. From 1991 to 1998, she served as president of the American Red Cross, the first women to hold that position since founder Clara Barton in 1881. Elizabeth Dole said she became involved in student government in high school and at Duke University, where during her senior year she served as student government president. She said being able to interact with students, faculty and alumni and mediate between all of their needs led her to choose a career in politics and public service. Alex Rausch, Shawnee sophomore and an archivist for the Dole Institute, said at this point in his college career, he was feeling overwhelmed and that he wasn't "The whole world of public policy and politics was like a magnet to me" she said. doing enough in his life. Rausch said hearing Bob Dole speak was a memorable moment for him. "it's something really special to me," he said. Questions from the community ranged from who made Bob Dole laugh the most during his time in the Senate, to what achievement Bob Dole was most proud of. Bob Dole said Pat Roberts made him laugh a lot and that Ronald Reagan's ability to laugh at himself was an admirable characteristic that positively influenced his career. Bob Dole said raising $195 million for the WWII Memorial in Washington, D.C., was his proudest achievement. He said he wanted to build the memorial in recognition of the people who served in the war. Bob Dole said young people should not have any doubts about the United States. He said in his career, never had he received a letter from someone that said, "Bob, get me out of this country." But, he said, he did receive thousands of letters saying, "Bob, can you get me into this country?" "I'm very happy to be an American," Bob Dole said. The program closed with a special presentation in recognition of Chancellor Robert Hemenway and focused on his influence in building the Dole Institute. — Edited by Grant Treaster Online College Courses BARTONline.org Having trouble getting your class schedule to work?

The new count, up from 160 in 21 states on Saturday, reflected streamlining in federal procedures and the results of tests by states, which have only recently begun confirming cases, said Dr. Anne Schuchat of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. Because states are now contributing their results, and because there are many cases to analyze, "I expect the numbers to jump quite a bit in the next couple days," she told reporters Sunday. Beyond eating into the backlog, the new number also reflects that "we do think this virus is fairly widespread," she said. "Virtually all of the United States probably has this virus circulating now. That doesn't mean that everybody infected, within the communities, the virus has arrived." Later Sunday, a few more states reported their first confirmed infections. Mexico's health secretary said Sunday that his country's outbreak is "now in its declining phase" but Schuchat noted that the United States got off to a later start. "We believe we are just in the upswing here," she said. Scientists are still gathering information on how severe the nation's 30 hospitalized cases are. she said. They are mostly older children and young adults, in contrast to ordinary flu, which tends to send the elderly and very young to the hospital, Schuchat said. "Virtually all of the United States probably has the virus circulating right now." The only swine "The good news is when we look at this virus right now, we're not seeing some of the things in the virus that have been associated in the past with more severe flu. That's encouraging, but it doesn't mean we're out of the woods yet," said Dr. Richard Besser, acting CDC chief. Kathleen Sebelius, health and human services secretary, and Dr. Richard Besser, centers for disease control and prevention acting director, appear on "Face the Nation" at the BS studs in Washington. They discussed preventative measures against swine flu.

Karin Cooper/ASSOCIATED PRESS With swine flu, or the H1N1 ANNE SCHUCHAT Doctor of CDC On Sunday's talk shows, U.S. health officials said they were cautiously optimistic that the swine flu isn't as dangerous as first feared, but urged people to keep taking commonsense precautions. They said they couldn't predict if the virus will roar back in the fall. flu as the government prefers to call it, now in more than 30 states and counting, authorities say it's spreading just as easily as regular winter flu. But, as Besser appeared on talk shows with the president's health and homeland security chiefs, they said that it didn't seem to cause as severe a disease as it did in Mexico. A big concern is whether the virus will return, perhaps harder, when regular influenza begins its march here. Flu season in the Southern Hemisphere is about to begin, and U.S. authorities will watch how the swine flu circulates there over the coming months as they prepare the first vaccine and then decide whether to order that large amounts of it be produced in the fall. Production of regular winter flu vaccine is going full-tilt, "to make sure we kind of clear the decks," Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said. "We are testing the virus strain for H1N1 virus so that we're ready to go into production later, in a month or two, when we make sure that we have the right dosage and the right tests. So we'll be ready for both," she said. Even if the swine virus didn't prove as potent as authorities first feared, Bessard said that doesn't mean the U.S. and World Health Organization overreacted in racing to prevent a pandemic, or worldwide spread, of a virus never before seen. With a new infectious disease, "you basically get one shot, you get one chance to try to reduce the impact," Besser said. "You take a very aggressive approach and as you learn more information you can tailor your response." POLITICS John Edwards investigated for use of campaign funds BY MIKE BAKER Associated Press The two-time Democratic presidential candidate acknowledged Sunday that investigators are assessing how he spent his campaign funds — a subject that could carry his extramarital affair from the tabloids to the courtroom. Edwards' political action committee paid more than $100,000 for video production to the firm of the woman with whom Edwards had an affair. RALEIGH, N.C. — His once-prominent political career is buried and the turmoil of his marriage is playing out in public. Now, John Edwards is facing a federal inquiry. The former North Carolina senator said in a carefully worded statement that he is cooperating. "I am confident Edwards acknowledged the affair with Hunter last year, months after dropping his presidential bid. nonprofits and a poverty center at his alma mater — that have come under scrutiny. At the time of the 2007 payment, Chief among them was the PAC that paid Rielle Hunter's company for several months in 2006 for Web videos that documented Edwards' travels and advocacy in the months leading up to his 2008 presidential campaign. The committee also paid her firm an additional $14,086.50 on April 1, 2007. "I am confident that no funds from my campaign were used improperly." that no funds from my campaign were used improperly." Edwards said in the statement. "However, I know that it is the role of government to ensure that this is true. We have made available to the United States both the people and the information necessary to help them get the issue resolved efficiently and in a timely matter." While Edwards focused his comment on campaign funds, he also had a range of other fundraising organizations — including two JOHN EDWARDS Former N.C. senator the PAC only had $7,932.95 in cash on hand, according to records filed with the Federal Election Commission. That day, according to the records, Edwards' presidential campaign paid the PAC $14,034.61 for what is listed as a "furniture purchase." The furniture money was one of just five contributions to the political action committee between April 1 to June 30, 2007. The other four were on June 30, the last day of the reporting period, including a $3,000 contribution from the wife of Edwards' finance chairman, Fred Baron. Willfully converting money from a political action committee for personal use is a federal crime. Baron, Edwards' national finance chairman and a wealthy Dallas-based trial attorney, said last year that he quietly began sending money to Hunter to resettle in California. He said no campaign funds were used and that Hunter was not working for the campaign when he started giving her money. Edwards has said he was unaware of the payments. Baron died of cancer in October. U. S. Attorney George Holding had declined to comment. Kate Michelman, a former head of the abortion-rights group NARAL who advised the Edwards campaign, said she hoped there was no wrongdoing. "All of us remain very saddened by what has happened to John, because he was right on the policies," Michelman said Sunday. "It remains a very sad occurrence for all of us. It's sad for John and Elizabeth, and this is just one more problem for them to deal with." Edwards, 55, powered onto the national scene in 1998, when he won a seat for the U.S. Senate in his first political campaign. With smooth speech and good looks, the former trial lawyer ran for the White House in 2004 and was tapped as Sen. John Kerry's running mate. He returned to the campaign trail in a 2008 presidential bid but was largely overshadowed by a duel between Hillary Clinton, vying to be the first female president, and Barack Obama, who did become the first black president. THE NEW YORK TIMES ASSOCIATED PRESS Former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards speaks at Indiana University in Bloomington, ind. Edwards, who has acknowledged a federal inquiry into his campaign funds, said in a statement obtained by The Associated Press on Sunday, that he was confident no campaign funds were used improperly. He said he had made people and information available to resolve the issue in a timely manner.

The week is hosted by student group Delta Force to promote awareness of all things sexy. Each day will focus on a different sexual issue, including the importance of having a wholesome self-image, the difference between consensual and non-consensual sex, and involvement in spreading awareness. "It's important to encourage a variety of perspectives on sexuality and this is a really clever way to open up the conversation," Snyder said. Samantha Snyder, Topeka senior, said she thought having Sexy Week was a good way to bring up the topic of sexual health, especially in a college setting. Delta Force, a student organization involved in activism and awareness about issues affecting students, will be stationed in front of Wesco Hall every day this week. The group will pass out condoms, literature and other items such as coloring books and pins according to each day's theme. One major theme is promoting sexual health and the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Web site, sexually active adolescents and young adults are at a higher risk of contracting STDs. The CDC site also states that those who are infected with STDs are at least two to five times more likely than uninfected individuals to get HIV if they are exposed to the virus through sexual contact. Learning how to be safe, but to also have fun, will be one of the topics discussed on Wednesday during "Sevv is Healthy" day. "A lot of the stuff we'll be talking about is kind of faux pas," Sam Atherton, Overland Park junior and vice president of Delta Force, said. Tanner Wilbanks, Lawrence senior, said though some of the material may be awkward, the purpose of the event was to open dialogue and make students more comfortable talking about sexual issues. "We aren't there to offend or shock," Wilbanks said. "We are there because it's a fact of life. People at the University are having sex and we are trying to make sure they are both healthy and safe while doing it." This marks the second year Sexy Week will be on campus, and the first year Delta Force added a new day to promote activism, with opportunities such as volunteering at a women's crisis center or working to educate more students about sexual health. Atherton said the week would try to cater to people of all sexual orientations, and offer as much information as possible on healthy sex in the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender as well.

Libby Napoli/KANSAN NATIONAL Clinton joins board of Oklahoma City National Memorial BY SEAN MURPHY Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY — Bill Clinton recalled the profound impact of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing on the nation and his presidency during a private tour of a memorial and museum honoring the 168 people killed. The former president announced Saturday he is joining an honorary national board of trustees that will promote the privately operated Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum. Clinton was president when the powerful truck bomb tore through the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995. On his fifth visit to the site, the former president declared that the resilience of Oklahomans in the bombing aftermath showed people could draw strength from one another and prevail while confronting "the worst in humanity." He added: "The memories I have here ... have changed my life and, I think, fundamentally changed the lives of the nation." Others joining Clinton on the honorary board are former Secretary of Homeland Security "My life has been indelibly marked by the people I met here," Clinton said Saturday in addressing about 200 museum supporters, bombing survivors and former workers. "I came here, more than anything else, to say 'thank you.'" The trustees are to work with the staff and board of the memorial to advance its mission of remembrance and education, said Bill Scheiing, chairman of the Oklahoma National Memorial Foundation. Tom Ridge; the Rev. Billy Graham, who led a National Prayer Service days after the bombing; former Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating and his wife Cathy; and Lee Woodruff, author and wife of TV news reporter Bob Woodruff, who was critically injured in Iraq. Clinton also was honored with the Beacon of Hope Award for supporting the memorial. The award was carved from wood taken from a limb of the memorial's Survivor Tree and mounted on a base of granite that had been salvaged from the shattered Murrah Building. He said the national board would help with fundraising efforts for the memorial, which is privately owned and operated. The memorial and museum are sustained through museum admissions and sales, a marathon, private fundraising and earnings from an endowment currently at about $14 million, Scheihing said. Clinton's "presence on the national board will provide both historic perspective and the committed passion of someone who bore witness to both the tragedy and to the hope this place represents for future generations," Schehing added.

Aug. 21, 1995 Hemenway speaks at Faculty and Staff Convocation, where he outlines goals and lists 10 steps to improve the University of Kansas. The steps include recruiting more minority faculty and students, increasing research funding, attracting more National Merit Scholars and providing more international studying and teaching opportunities. November - December 1995 Shortly after the men's football team finds out it will play against UCLA in the Aloha Bowl, Glen Mason announces that he will leave the University and coach at the University of Georgia. The day before the football team plays in the Aloha Bowl on Dec. 25, Mason has a change of heart and asks Hemenway to let him return. Hemenway agrees. A year later, Mason leaves after the disappointing 1996 football season to coach at the University of Minnesota. Feb.11,1996 Feb.11, 1936 Hemenway is inaugurated as the University's 16th chancellor at the Lied Center. Although the inauguration festivities are praised for being more open to students, they are criticized for costing $27,500 during a time of budget cuts. THE BISHOP OF CEYLON Sept. 9,1998 Hemenway outlines new goals for the University at the Faculty and Staff Convocation. The goals are a result of the Initiative 2001 task force and include and include K improvements such as Internet upgrades, building electronic communication systems on campus and enabling students to send electronic documents. Oct.1.1998 The University of Kansas Hospital separates from the Medical Center, transitioning from being owned by the University to being a separate hospital authority. Before the separation, the hospital was losing money. Afterward, it becomes a top medical center. Oct.6.1998 Hemenway and 25 other Kansas universities and community colleges present their blueprints for a Task Force on High Education Structure for Excellence, which includes the need for a new governing body to focus on issues that the Kansas Board of Regents cannot govern. SICILIUM UNIVERSITATIS KANSIENSIS INCARRATO PER LA SEDUCA DAL CIVITÀ ESTABLISHED 1864 Sept.27,1999 Hemenway defends the University's seal featuring Moses and the burning bush and says it is not an endorsement of religion. The defense comes in response to a letter by the KU chapter for the American Civil Liberties Union, which challenges whether the seal is appropriate for a public university. Oct.26,1999 During the tumultuous evolution debate in Kansas, "The Chronicle of Higher Education" publishes an article by Hemenway criticizing the Kansas Board of Education's removal of evolution, the Big Bang and all references to Earth being billions of years old from the state's science education standards. Hemenway remains a prominent figure throughout the evolution debate in defense of teaching evolution. March 2001 The men's swimming and diving and men's tennis programs are eliminated to save the Athletics Department $600,000. Students and athletes sign petitions and protest the eliminations, including a march in front of Hemenway's home. Hemenway meets with protestors to discuss the eliminations, but the eliminations stay in place. HEMENWAY decision to step down, he seemed comfortable with his legacy. "You reach a point when you feel like you've done a lot and you've been quite successful," he said. "But you also want to leave open the possibility that a new leader will be able to accomplish more." (CONTINUED FROM 1A) ACADEMICS When Hemenway arrived from the University of Kentucky in 1995 and took the reins from Del Shankel, he was hailed as an intellect with a commitment to better education, a dedication to the advancement of minorities and an openness with students. One was to provide more international study and teaching opportunities, an effort that has become a badge of honor for faculty and students. In 2008, the University was ranked 11th in the nation by the Institution for International Education for study abroad participation. Soon, he outlined his goals Hemenway was also determined to make the campus more diverse. Under his leadership, the number of minority faculty grew from 217 to 397, which now accounts for 16 percent of the entire faculty. At the same time, the minority student population increased by approximately 1,200 students per year and now comprises 13 percent of the student body. "He has focused aggressively on making available opportunities for people who traditionally in academia have not been given opportunities in the same degree that white males have," said Provost Richard Lariviere, who is also leaving the University and will become president of the University of Oregon. A third major goal of Hemenway's was to raise and spend more dollars on research, and he made good on the promise. Research funding increased from $124 million in 1995 to nearly $300 million this year. Some, such as Sebelius, think the research emphasis is just what Kansas needs. "Great research universities are the economic engines of the future," she said. THE UNIVERSITY THEN AND NOW "More than I can ever remember before, the University is a corporation for big business" said Timothy Miller, a professor of religious studies who has been at the University for more than 30 years. "It seems to me that is emphasized more and more, and it is emphasized at the expense of other things." Others question whether the demand for research and scholarship by faculty is pulling too many good teachers out of the classroom.

Nancy Kinnersley, president of the Faculty Senate, acknowledged the debate. Chancellor Hemenway waves to the crowd at the 1998 commencement ceremony. Hemenway became well-known for wearing his straw hat to commencement and outdoor activities throughout the years. In 1995, tuition for two semesters at the University cost an undergraduate in-state student $1,766. This year, the price tag is $6,195. Still, the University had a record enrollment of more than 30,000 in Fall 2008. Tuition increases during Hemenway's time have also raised eyebrows. "There are as many opinions on that as faculty members," she said. "He will state his position and he'll try and convince you," Shank said. "He respects where you end up." THE MEDICAL CENTER Hemenway agreed the increases were not ideal but defended them by pointing to higher rates at other universities. He also lauded the 2007 approval of the Four-Year Tuition Compact, designed to keep tuition rates flat for students during the four Hemenway have sometimes disagreed on the need for the increases. But Shank praised Hemenway's desire to improve the University and how he handled himself during discussions. Donna Shank, chairwoman of the Kansas Board of Regents, said she and "You try not to be in a situation where you're raising tuition, but you make sure it's legitimate by making things better for students," Hemenwaa said. Issues involving the University of Kansas Medical Center have brought Hemenway some of his heaviest praise and criticism. years they attend the University.

Hoyle that offers more than 30 academic programs in allied health, medicine and nursing professions. More than 3,000 students are enrolled there this semester. Barbara Atkinson, executive vice chancellor of the Med Center, said Hemenway has improved the center in three areas: separating the University of Kansas Hospital from the Med Center in 1998, which staved off financial losses and allowed it to thrive; revising and modernizing the medical school and its curriculum; and making the cancer program the University's top research priority. The local community has responded to the Med Center's success. Johnson County residents voted in November to approve a 0.125 percent sales tax increase to raise $15 million for a research triangle that involves a KU Cancer Clinical Research Center and additions to the Edwards Campus. Under Hemenway, the University has created partnerships with clinics and businesses to develop cancer drugs and build new research space, all in an effort to earn a prestigious National Cancer Institute designation in the next few years. The Med Center has added 250 new faculty positions since Hemenway arrived. One area of controversy, however, has been the partnership between the Med Center and St. Luke's Hospital. Both institutions have invested money so that the Med Center could train more students to be doctors and serve residencies at St. Luke's. partnership. Simons declined to be interviewed for this story. The St. Luke's situation is something the new chancellor will continue to deal with, as are larger issues about preparing the next generation of doctors and other workers. "There is still a Dolph C. Simons, Jr., editor of the Lawrence Journal-World, has huge need for the kind of specialized education that KU is so good at doing," Atkinson said. "I think figuring out how to balance all that while continuing to move ahead as a research university is a challenge for the new chancellor" In 2008, the University became only the second school in the country to win a BCS football bowl game and the national basketball championship in the same year. ATHLETICS If there is one area of widespread agreement, it's that the University has had huge success with athletics during Hemenway's tenure. Hemenway is a big sports fan and he and his wife, Leah, attend as many athletic events as they can. Hememway finds athletics so intriguing that after retiring in June, he plans to write a book about the value of intercollegiate athletics to a university. "I'm very interested in the way that a university assimilates athletics into the enterprise of the University," Hemenway said. "I think that KU, for example, gets a great deal of success and a great deal of its academic success because our educational experience and our athletics experience are really tied together." CHANCELLOR HEMENWAY "I think it's time for me to step down from the chancellor's position and to get the pleasure of reading and writing." Athletics have come a long way since Hemenway arrived in 1995, right around the time that the Big 8 Conference became the Big 12. "That was a dramatic change for the University of Kansas and for all the Big 8 institutions to suddenly have Texas and Texas A & M," said Bob Frederick, athletics director from 1987 to 2001. "Suddenly the playing field changed dramatically." Shortly after his arrival, Hemenway became the chairman of the Big 12 Board of Directors, and later became chairman of the board of directors of the NCAA, which governs college sports. There have been rough spots during Hemenway's tenure, such as the announced departure and then rehiring of football coach Glen Mason in 1995. Many fans and alumni felt Hemenway should not have allowed him to return, especially because Mason left the following year. In 2001, Hemenway came under fire for abolishing the men's swimming and tennis programs to PRESENTATION A review of the effectiveness of homeopathy as a treatment for cancer. A randomized, placebo-controlled trial compared 149 patients with cancer to 70 controls. The results were significantly better in the controls than in the patients. No significant differences were found between the groups at pre-treatment and post-treatment. the Athletics Department $600,000 per year. The move prompted petitions and protests from alumni as well as students, but the eliminations stayed in place. Hemenway has surgery to remove a tumor in his prostate. Roy Williams within a short time period also brought criticism. But the vacancies opened the way for two well-known faces in KU Athletics: Athletics Director Lew Perkins and basketball coach Bill Self. "I feel like whenever there's been a decision between looking out for the interests of students versus looking out for the interests of the Athletics Department, I feel that he has chosen the Athletics Department instead," said Eric Foss, Overland Park law student and member of the Student Senate finance committee. The 2003 firing of then-athletics director Al Bohl and the departure of basketball coach The balance between athletics and academics has been a rollercoaster ride during Hemenway's tenure. Aua. 8.2001 Jerry Wang/KANSAN Yet others, such as Drue Jennings, 100% Hemenway enjoys a dinner conversation with Joseph Swisher, left, Oga City freshman, and Ryan King, Lawrence sophomore, at Pearson Scholarship Hall on March 30. The event was part of Pearson's Meet-A-Professor event organized by the hall. March 10,2003 4 Hemenway urges the Senate Ways and Means Subcommittee on Higher Education to free the University from some state regulations, such as requiring state printers, which he says could help the University operate more efficiently. He also suggests reducing the prenatal nursing program at the Medical Center and reducing the mathematical geology section at the Kansas Geological Survey. M. J. BURNS April 9 April 9 Hemenw.

"All you have to do is go to a football game or Allen Fieldhouse to know that athletics are the front porch of the University," said Jennings, a former football player and a former interim athletics director. "While you shouldn't ignore the other areas, you have to understand that athletics are the window that many people in the world see you through, and it's extremely important." BUILDING PROJECTS Those who know him said Hemenway could be a very frugal man. Several years ago, Hemenway refused to allow new carpet in his office because he did not want to spend money on it, even though his old carpet was falling apart. Hemenway's employees waited until he was away on vacation to install new carpet. Mary Burg. Hemenway's executive assistant both here and at the University of Kentucky, remembers when Hemenway first went to the University of Kentucky as chancellor of the Lexington Campus. He drove the same beat-up Volkswagen bus he had driven around the country to research Zora Neale Hurston. Hurston was an African-American author who has been at the center of Hemenway's studies. Hemenway's 1977 book, "Zora Neale Hurston: A Literary Biography," is often credited with sparking an interest in African-American female novelists. When Hemenway discovered he could drive a University of Kentucky car, he sold the Volkswagen to a graduate student for $35. Although the University has spent nearly $1 billion in building and renovation projects during the years, those close to him said Hemenway had approached the projects with a knack for fundraising. Hemenway led the KU First Campaign, a capital campaign which raised $635.8 million from 1998 to 2004. Most of the money for University construction has come from student fees, donors and endowment gifts. University Architect Warren Corman credited Hemenway with a talent for explaining the needs of the University to donors and administrators. Some of the projects that have occurred during Hemenway's tenure include the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics, the Hall Center for the Humanities, Budig Hall, three new scholarship halls and renovations to Murphy and JRP halls among others. Another major project was the development of eight buildings on West Campus on more than 400 acres. When Hemenway arrived, three buildings existed on West Campus: the Simons, Haguchi and Smissman labs. Since then, the University added the circular Becker Drive to host the Multidisciplinary Research Building, Structural Biology Building, pharmaceutical labs and more than 260,000 square feet of research space. This extra space has helped the University vie for a National Cancer Institute designation. "He understands building and construction better than all the chancellors I've worked with," said Corman, who has worked for the Board of Regents and helped design the original Malott and JRP halls. CITY AND THE HILL "The one thing that I want to make sure that I don't miss is that I sustain the relationships I have with students." Growth of West Campus has helped the University build cooperation with local officials. Whether it be the city transit system, cooperation on land use, or the building of Fire Station # 5 at 19th and Iowa streets on KU Endowment CHANCELLOR HEMENWAY land, City Manager David Corliss said the Lawrence community has benefited from the University's influence under Hemenway's tenure. Corliss pointed specifically to the city, county and Lawrence Douglas County Bioscience Authority working with the University on an incubator facility on West Campus. The collaborative project is the first of its kind in the relationship between the city and University. The city recently made its first payment of $75,000 for the center. Mike Amys, city commissioner and vice mayor, said the University's influence was mostly beneficial, especially regarding the business that KU athletics attracted to the city. Amyx has a distinct relationship with Hemenway because the chancellor has been a customer in Amyx's barber shop on Massachusetts Street since he arrived at the University, and the two men often talk about local and University issues. The biggest conflict between the two men? The location of the Kansas-Missouri football games. "He's a born teacher," said Maryemay Graham, an English professor who has worked with Hemenway on numerous academic and research projects. "Not only does he continue his interest in the academic side and is a mentor for scholars, he was teaching and working with graduate students and teaching undergraduate students and being chancellor." "Id rather have it at Memorial Stadium," Amyx said, citing the economic and athletic advantages of a Lawrence game. After Hemenway retires and finishes his book about intercollegiate athletics, he will return to his first passion: teaching at the University. Ever since he was an undergraduate student at the University of Kentucky, Hemenway said, he thought it was "the coolest thing" to be paid to read, write and teach. WHAT'S NEXT There's more to Chancellor Robert Hemenway than the man who works in Strong Hall. LIFE AS CHANCELLOR BOB There's also a parent and grandparent who has watched his family grow and change during his time as chancellor. That's what motivated him to When Hemenway and his wife, Leah, came to Lawrence 14 years ago, they moved into The Outlook, the residence for the University's chancellor and a place that they would soon call home. At the time, Hemenway's two youngest sons — Arna and Zach — were 7 and 11 years old. The two boys grew up on campus, which became their playground. "Arna rode his bike around campus, and knew all the good hiding spots, especially when his parents were looking for him." Hemenway said. The Hemenways have celebrated weddings, family reunions, graduation parties and other family events at The Outlook. Hemenway has six other children — Gina, Jeremy, Robin, Karintha, Matthew and Langston. Four of Hemenway's eight children have received degrees from the University. The annual graduation lunch on the lawn is one of the family's favorite events, Leah said. Famous celebrities and politicians, ranging from Danny Glover to Bill Clinton, have visited The Outlook and some have stayed in the guest house. But there have been rough times as well, such as the death of The Outlook's gardener and Hemenway's surgery to remove a tumor in his prostate in 2001. Being chancellor is a demanding job, Leah said, and several times a week Hemenway often goes to work at seven in the morning and has events in the evening until 10 or 11 p.m. The weekends can be filled with athletic events and catching up on office work. Hemenway admits that the bainience between work and family is difficult, and said he had not always been able to do as much with his family as he wanted. "It's a seven-day job for him,"Leah said. "There were times when Arna had a Little League game or something else, and I had to choose between our kids and the students as a whole," Hemenway said. "For most people you learn how to balance that out." As Hemenway prepares to retire and move into a home near campus, one of his biggest challenges remains: where to put the hundreds and hundreds of books that line the shelves in his office. teach at the University of Kentucky and to continue teaching as chancellor of the University of Kansas. "It's a way to continue to have your students challenge you and you get to challenge your students," Hemenway said. "The relationship between faculty and students is a very special relationship." "I'm going to have to figure out what to do with them," Hemenway said. For nearly 13 years, Hemenway taught a 7:30 a.m. course on American literature. Students said they remembered his quirkiness in the classroom, whether it be trying his hand at raping, telling stories, or demonstrating a scene from Charlotte Perkins Gilman "The Yellow Wallpaper." "He has such a depth of knowledge in such a variety of areas," Adam McGonigle, Wichita junior and former student body president, Throughout his tenure, Hemenway has been known for keeping an open door with students, faculty and staff, inviting their questions and concerns. "He wasn't one of those professors who spoke from his notes." Cindy Lynn, Lawrence senior, said. "He had a strong command of his topic and you could tell that he loved his topic and he liked his students. He really liked being in the classroom." Jennifer Torline said, "He's such a go-to person for me whenever I have any questions." "The one thing that I want to make sure that I don't miss is that I sustain the relationships I have with students," Hemenway said. "That's really what we're about here, is educating students." With the 24/7 demands of being chancellor. Hemenway said he was looking forward to retirement and being able to spend more time with his colleagues and students. "I think it's time for me to step down from the chancellor's position and to get the pleasure of reading and writing and the progress that I think inevitably should accompany any chancellor in what they are doing." Hemenway said. And though Hemenway will no longer be chancellor, he won't disappear any time soon. He and Leah have bought a house close to campus, and Hemenway plans to maintain the relationships he's built with students by teaching courses and attending athletic events. He will likely remain a familiar figure in the early mornings on Jayhawk Boulevard for years to come. — Edited by Jessica Sain-Baird KU KI Dec. 8,2008 Hemenway announces that he plans to step down as chancellor to take time off and write a book on intercollegiate athletics and American values, before returning to teaching.

James Kambeba, believed to be the biological father of Chifundo "Mercy" James, said he doesn't want the pop star to adopt the 4-year-old.

"All I know is that Mercy has been in an orphanage since the day she was born." Rosenberg said. Madonnas appeal of a court ruling denying her request to adopt the girl is to be heard Monday in Malawi, in southeast Africa.

SCIENCE Citizens should learn stem cell terminology At his inauguration, President Obama promised to "restore science to its rightful place" and he has followed through by writing an executive order overturning the ban on federal support of embryonic stem cell research. The issue is both scientifically complex and ethically divided, and it naturally remains controversial. But now that scientists around the country are able to develop more research projects involving embryonic stem cells, it is important that all citizens learn what potential effects this may have on medicine and science. First, the term "stem cells" should be defined. "Stem cells" is a general term applied to cells that have the ability to grow into many different cell types, and there are two categories of stem cells: adult and embryonic. Everyone has adult stem cells, such as the cells inside the bone marrow. These can divide and become all of the different kinds of blood cells. Adult stem cells are different from embryonic stem cells because they cannot become all of the complex tissues in the body. Embryonic stem cells have the potential to become any cell in the body: brain cells, muscle cells, liver cells, etc. This difference illustrates the importance of research with both kinds of cells. Embryonic cells can be used to test new drugs on different cell types before moving into human testing in clinical trials, potentially increasing the safety and efficacy of new drugs. These stem cells could themselves be used clinically to regrow damaged organs or replace killed nerve cells. Researching embryonic stem cells grants greater insight in the intricate biochemical machinery that regulates the growth of human cells. This fundamental SAITHE SCIENCE GUY SAI FOLMSBEE ASBEE Inevitably, a discussion of stem cells leads to the question of human cloning. It is important to distinguish the two kinds of cloning reproductive and therapeutic. Reproductive cloning is the stuff of science fiction, where embryonic cells are engineered with DNA from a host to generate an identical human. Most scientists in the United States abide by a voluntary moratorium on human reproductive cloning. But therapeutic cloning is much more practical and has more medical relevance. Therapeutic cloning means growing new organs or tissues from stem cells containing DNA from a certain patient. If the patient receives a cloned transplant, his or her body will be less likely to reject it because it was grown with his or her own DNA. But the key word is "potential" Embryonic stem cells will not be a panacea for all disease. Research is paramount to determining what embryonic cells can do, and at what cost. Already, research has found that direct embryonic cell therapy may grow uncontrollably in a patient and form cancer. Now that the ban on federal funding has been lifted, the only way to find out is to encourage scientific research and await the results. knowledge could affect our understanding of developmental disabilities and cancer. FROM ILLINOIS Folmsbee is a Topeka junior in neurobiology. I am a procrastinator, and I know I am not alone. This, the last week of school, is the season for procrastination. Wal-Mart runs out of energy drinks, nobody is in a good mood and 90 percent of Facebook statuses have a statement followed by "FML." BY DAN CUSACK Eastern Illinois U. Daily Eastern News As a certified procrastinator myself, here are some tips on how to get things done on time without winding up in a psych ward. Handbook for procrastinators *Wikipedia: There is not enough time left in the semester to finish that 1,000-page epic you were assigned in January, so there is* All-nighters: Let's face it. In this final week of school, sleep is overrated. I'm pretty sure it's a proven fact that the mind is most alert when it has not been rested in 28 straight hours. The key to the all-nighter is really simple. Just drink as many energy drinks as possible, play your music really loud and, within a few days, you'll wonder why you have ever felt the need to take a nap in the first place. Just make sure you stay away from heavy machinery. Procrastinate procrastination: Anyone can procrastinate, but it takes a real warrior to wait until the very last second. Everyone knows it's our human instinct to react with our finest performance when we are trapped into a corner. So wait until 3 a.m. the day the paper is due to start it. With panic and fear as motivation, you are bound to produce your finest work. You can't argue with science. only one place to go that has all the answers: Wikipedia. The site is God's gift to procrastinators. Need to find who won the War of 1812? United States. Boom, found it in 12 seconds. Need to know who played Gunner Stahl in "D2: The Mighty Ducks?" Scott Whyte. Bam, three seconds. See, Wikipedia has everything and can always be trusted (Note: Never trust Wikipedia). So for all you procrastinators out there, good luck with whatever assignment was not important enough to start on when it was assigned months ago. As for me, I'm going to take a nap. — UWire HOW TO SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITOR LETTER GUIDELINES Send letters to opinion@kansan.com Write LETTER TO THE EDITOR in the e-mail subject line.

Federal officials said the population of gray wolves in those areas had recovered and was large enough to survive on its own. The animals were listed as endangered in 1974, after they had been wiped out across the lower 48 states by hunting and government-sponsored poisoning. "We've exceeded our recovery goals for nine consecutive years, and we fully expect those trends will continue," said Seth Willey, regional recovery coordinator for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Denver. With the delisting, state wildlife agencies would have full control over the animals. States such as Idaho and Montana plan to resume hunting the animals this fall, but no hunting has been proposed in the Great Lakes region. Ranchers and livestock groups, particularly in the Rockies, have pushed to strip the endangered status in hopes that hunting would keep the population in check. About 300 wolves in Wyoming will remain on the list because the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service rejected the state's plan for a "predator zone" where wolves could be shot on sight. Wyoming Gov. Dave Freudenthal and a coalition of livestock and hunting groups, have announced a lawsuit against the federal government over the decision. Freudenthal, a Democrat, claimed "political expediency" was behind the rejection of his state's wolf plan. Wolves were taken off the endangered list in the Northern Rockies. gered list in the Northern Rockies — including Wyoming — for about five months last year. After environmentalists sued, a federal judge in Montana restored the protections and cited Wyoming's predator zone as a main reason. In the Great Lakes, the animal was off the list beginning in 2007 until a judge in Washington last September ordered them protected again. The delisting review began under the administration of President George W. Bush and the proposal was upheld by President Barack Obama's administration after an internal review. In a recent letter to several members of Congress, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar wrote that he was "confident that science justifies the delisting of the gray wolf." Environmental and animal rights groups have also said they planned to sue over the delisting, claiming that there are still not enough wolves to guarantee their survival. The groups point to Idaho's plan to kill up to 100 wolves which were believed to have killed elk. Willey said his agency projected there would be between 973 and 1302 wolves in the Northern Rockies under state management, a number well above the 300 wolves set as the original benchmark for the animal's recovery. More than 1,300 wolves roam the mountains of Montana and Idaho and an estimated 4,000 live in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. NATIONAL BY JAMES HANNAH Associated Press DAYTON, Ohio — Ivan Nogalo can often hear small planes buzzing over his machine shop in Cleveland. Economy keeps potential pilots grounded "You want to be up there," the 33-year-old said. But Nogala can't be. The would-bel pilot has been grounded because the economy has forced him to tighten his belt. It's the same for Ryan Fisher, who spent an estimated $10,000 on flying lessons before losing his job with a real estate developer. The 37-year-old was two weeks short of being certified as a private pilot when he couldn't afford further training. “It’s frustrating,” said Fisher, of Cleveland Heights. “I miss being up in the airplane, that sense of freedom. It's kind of transcendental" The slumping economy has forced some student pilots to put their dreams of flying on hold, threatened to accelerate the decline of the U.S. pilot population and put a financial chokehold on flight schools. The number of U.S. pilots has fallen more than 25 percent from a 1980 peak of about 827,000 to about 590,000 at the end of 2008, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

Flying lessons are down 50 percent from a year ago at the New Flyers Association, a flight club at the Ohio State University Airport in Columbus that has seven airplanes and 120 members.

The Jayhawks showed mental toughness over the weekend on the road, taking two out of three from the No. 9 Sooners. Everyone on the team, including coach Ritch Price, wanted the sweep badly, but Price took a step back to realize what his young Jayhawks had accomplished after the 10-9 Sunday loss in extra innings. "I think it showed that we've made really good progress," Price said. "We played good defense and we swung the bats pretty good." The first two games saw the Jayhawks excel in their usual areas. Solid starting pitching, timely hitting and shutdown pitching from the bullpen provided the formula for success over the weekend. Price was especially adamant about the bullpen. "Our bullpen was special all weekend and they've been doing it for us all or" Price said "I think it showed that we made really good progress." "And they were very good again this weekend." against the Sooners potent lineup. Ridenhour didn't even make it past the first inning as he was shelled for six runs. Luckily, junior right- hander Brett Bollman and freshman right-hander Colton Murray came in to right the ship and pitched a combined eight plus effective innings. RITCH PRICE Kansas coach On Sunday, the bullpen probably pitched a little earlier than expected. Freshman starter Lee Ridenhour wasn't sharp again "I thought Bollman was special and Murray was special." Price said. "They gave us an opportunity to win." Sophomore third baseman Tony Thompson certainly gave the Jayhawks a great opportunity to win as well. Thompson clubbed two more home runs on Sunday to give him 14 on the season, four shy of the single season record. Thompson finished with a career high six RBI as well and his third multi home run game this season. Thompson's second home run came on a 3-0 count as well. It is common for coaches to have their hitters to take the next pitch, hoping to draw a walk. But Price decided to give Thompson the green light, knowing Thompson would see a fastball strike. "It helped me a lot that even with a 3-0 count and we were down that he gave me a shot to swing if I had a good pitch," lead in the fifth inning. "It helped me a lot that even with a 3-0 count ... he gave me a shot to swing if I had a good pitch."

The Jayhawks closed out their regular season by a Cyclone sweep 7-2 and 3-1. The two losses placed more uncertainty on the post-season for Kansas (21-30, 6-11), who will now have to participate in the play-in game on Friday to begin the Big 12 Tournament. "It's really frustrating," sophomore outfielder Liz Kocon said. "We had a good shot to get either the fifth or sixth seed in the Big 12 and we blew it." The Jayhawks saw neither the solid pitching nor the clutch hitting against the Cylcones that they had seen during their three-game winning streak. The Cyclones smacked Kansas' Koon got the Jayhawks started when she blasted a solo home run in the fifth, but the Cyclones came right back on the offensive.

On the game, Iowa State raked up 11 total hits for their seven runs. pitches around in game one, aided by strong winds in the ballpark. ISU started the scoring with back-to-back home runs in the third inning to take a 4-0 lead. Senior outfielder Dougie McCaulell later added a solo shot for Kansas, her first of the season, but the rest of the team was shut down by Cyclone pitchers — managing only three hits. The Jayhawks fared better from the circle in game two, but still couldn't produce at the plate.

It was the layhawks' third outdoor meet that has been canceled because of inclement weather. Kansas tried to extend its list of regionally qualified athletes in Arkansas on Friday. But, Mother Nature had some plans of her own. The Missouri Relays in March and Nebraska's Open in Lincoln, Neb., last week were also canceled because of weather. "It's disappointing that the athletes didn't get the opportunity to compete this weekend," coach Stanley Redwine said. "They wanted to go out and compete though the rain came, the lightning came and the tornado siren came." Redwine said the meet was ultimately canceled for safety reasons. About half of the field events and all but two of the track events were canceled; the two track events that did take place were the 4x100 relay events, which the women's team participated in. "It was definitely the best thing to do, unfortunately they didn't get to compete." Redwine said.

SEE TRACK ON PAGE 3B COMMENTARY Jayhawks' tourney chances increase BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com / Kansas was a bubble team. Rivals.com, in its latest projection of the 64-team NCAA Tournament, snuck the Jayhawk baseball team in as a three seed, and one of its last five teams to make the field. Expect all that to change when the projections are released today. When the layahws went out this weekend and earned their biggest series victory of the season — yes, even considering the sweep of then-No. 1 Texas at the Hog — they firmly thrust their name into the postseason discussion. After showing an inability to win a road series against an inferior team (see: Texas Tech two weekends ago), Kansas silenced its doubts in resounding fashion in Norman, Okla. Kansas used big first innings and (surprise, surprise) brilliant pitching performances to win two of three against No. 9 Oklahoma. With just two series left in the regular season — at surging Missouri and against No. 16 Kansas State, in which they play one game in Manhattan and two in Lawrence — the breakthrough on the road was an absolute must for the Jayhawks, whose 23-3 home record has been offset by a disappointing 7-11 mark on the road. Kansas, which fell in extra innings in the final game of the series Sunday after taking the first two games 5-4 and 9-5, may have finally gotten its name written in ink on the NCAA bracket. The bracket is split up into 16 four-team regionals, from which one team advances to a super regional. All the jayhawks want right now is to be penned into one of those 64 slots, because anything can happen from there. Last year's national champion Fresno State came out of its regional as the fourth seed before going on a miracle run to the title. But the Jayhawks' series victory against the Sooners this weekend did more than all but solidify their chances to become a postseason team. This weekend proved to the Jayhawks, and to their potential opponents, that they have the ability to take on some of the best competition in the country and win. But to win in the postseason, Kansas will need to win on the road. Rivals.com had Kansas in, before this weekend, as the three-seed in the Atlanta Regional, hosted by Georgia Tech. Baseball America had it as the four seed in Houston, hosted by Rice. No matter where they end up, the Jayhawks won't be hosting, which means they will have to knock off a higher-ranked team at least once, likely twice, away from home. Before this weekend, they couldn't win two of three on the road no matter the opponent. But now, the Jayhawks may have the confidence to make some noise come June.

Johnson was named best offensive player, and Shea Scanlon, Lenexa junior, was the Kansas' most valuable player. — Andrew Wiebe NHL NHL Anaheim Ducks drive Detriot Red Wings down DETROIT — Todd Marchant scored 1:15 into the third overtime to give the Anaheim Ducks a 4-3 series-evening victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday.

Associated Press The regrets we all come to face COMMENTARY It can be found anywhere this time of year. As bitter as truckstop coffee, it follows us yearround only to grow in prominence when the air turns warm and the sun shines longer. Regret. One of the ultimate emotions shared by us all. Students from all corners of the globe comprise the campus' populace but we all live in the same world of "What if." Athletic endeavors certainly qualify. They may even be the most prevalent among said thoughts. When fall fades and winter produces snow and ice, you can ball up your excuses into a nice, big snowman and return inside for cocoa and cookies. Spring and summer offer no such escape. The shoes you tie tightly to your feet remind you of when you used to wear them to rugby practice. If only I would have stuck with it. I know I had to quit because of nightly Spanish homework, but I BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR smontemayor@kansan.com got a C in that damn class anvway. Running, with the Red Hot Chili Peppers in your ears, until you're short of breath reminds you of how you felt flying up the field on a fast break for your high school lacrosse team. Quick, time to get back on defense. If only I would have worked harder. If only I would have partied less and practiced more. In all of this lies one of life's greatest gifts: the chance to do it all again. Whether it's the perspective needed when confronted with choices capable of producing regretful consequences or actually the chance to do it again — it is there. Three years removed from last playing an organized lacrosse game, I took the field Saturday with more than a dozen fellow alums to play against the team's current squad in the inaugural alumni game to raise money for a fallen friend. A good friend called and told me of his return to the soccer field that same weekend. This paper organized its annual softball game between the news and ad desks. Perhaps you have a story or two as well. In concert with this was the kickoff of numerous acts of defiance against time - backyard games or organized leagues to keep active - or the taking up of new sports. Each time we watch a college sports broadcast on television,we are reminded that the majority of college athletes go pro in something other than sports. Even more high school athletes don't continue their careers at the college level. The number of intramural and club sports on campus, coupled with our own free will to get together with friends and toss a ball of choice around signifies that we never have to let go. Besides, it lessens the chance of becoming that fat, balding, overbearing dad at little league games. THE MORNING BREW And so when the clock ran out Sunday and I was exhausted and sore, all I could think was: "I've got to do this more often." - Edited by Jesse Trimble Owned CSN ASSOCIATED PRESS MLB Backup catcher the hero in 1-0 Giants victory BY GREG BEACHAM Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — Steve Holm rounded third and chugged toward home plate with an understandable urgency in his rusty stride. The Giants' seldom-used backup catcher had neither the leg strength nor the inclination to squat down for any more extra The lone extra inning, which included rallies by both clubs, was a fitting cap to a series in which the Giants won two of three despite scoring just five runs. San Francisco has won each of its first five home series this season, but relied largely on pitching and defense to do it. Rich Aurilia drove in Holm with a 10th-inning single to end a pitching-dominated afternoon with the Giants' ninth victory in 12 games, 1-0 over the Colorado Rockies on Sunday. Holm also wanted to make sure Barry Zito's latest outstanding start wasn't entirely in vain for the surging San Francisco Giants. innings in a scoreless game on getaway day. to second. Aurilia's sharp single to left-center easily scored Holm, who finished his first game action of the season with a celebration. After Holm drew a leadoff walk from Manuel Corpas (0-3), who lost his job as Colorado's closest last week, Randy Winn sacrificed him "That's all I had," Holm said with a laugh. "Ten innings into it, the legs aren't the best." Aurilia got the third game-ending hit of his 14-year career after Brandon Medders (1-1) stranded two Colorado runners earlier in the 10th.

NHL Carolina Hurricanes fight off Boston Bruins BOSTON — The "desperate" Boston Bruins kept firing shots at Cam Ward. The "rock" of the Carolina Hurricanes kept stopping them. NHL The playoff MVP in Carolina's 2006 Stanley Cup victory, Ward turned aside 36 shots for his second shutout in his last four playoff games and the Hurricanes won 3-0 Sunday night for a split of the first two games. "He's our rock," Eric Staal said. "He needs to play well every night for us to have a shot and he did." It was a description that was confirmed to coach Paul Maurice — very loudly — on a shot in the third period that Ward knocked away with his pad. "I didn't expect to hear that sound," Maurice said. "It came off that pad hard, so that's a glimpse of how good he is." Joe Corvo, Matt Cullen and Staal, on an empty-net goal with 28 seconds left, scored for the Hurricanes, who will be home for Games 3 and 4 Wednesday and Friday nights. They also split their first two games of the first round at New Jersey, then lost the next game at home in overtime to the Devils.

Kocon once again got the Jayhawks started, as her solo blast in the fourth cut the deficit to 2-1. But once again, Iowa State responded right away, tacking on a quick run to regain their two-run lead at 3-1. From there the Jayhawk bats were silenced once again, but this time in a different fashion. --- Freshman Lauren Kennewell earned the complete game victory for ISU despite giving the Jayhawks plenty of chances to even the score. Senior third baseman Val Chapple and junior second baseman Sara Ramirez each had two hits to lead Kansas, but the team stranded 10 runners on base in the game, six of them in scoring position. Edited by Realle Roth "They pitched pretty well," Chapple said. "But we took ourselves out of the game. We weren't as aggressive or confident as we had been." Despite the disappointment over being swept, the Jayhawks know that anything can happen in the Big 12 Tournament. game stats "All we can do is focus on the tournament this weekend," Kocon said. "We're probably going to have to play against Iowa State, so we just need to focus and have a better mentality going in."

Howard said. "Then we went back out and they gave us 30 minutes to warm up, then we ended up running it in a downpour." Howard, who ran the anchor leg of the race, said right after the event, the meet was postponed because lighting was visible. Soon after, the meet was canceled entirely. Bradley, who ran the third leg of the race, said she felt that she did well with all that was going on. "I think I ran pretty well despite all the rain in my eyes." "I think I ran pretty well despite all the rain in my eyes," Bradley said. "But running a faster time in that kind of conditions was pretty good." KENDRA BRADLEY Sophomore sprinter Bradley admitted that she is terrified of thunderstorms, but that once the gun went off, her focus shifted toward the race and not the rain. Although Anderson, Howard, Dorsey and Bradley got the victory, Howard said it was disappointing that they were just sixth-tenths of a second off from qualifying for the Midwest Regionals. "We'll just have to get it at conference," Howard said. With the Big 12 Outdoor Conference Championships in Lubbock, Texas, two weeks away, it's uncertain if the team will try to have a meet in that time, but what is certain is wanting to be prepared to race ready. "The only thing we can do is probably more race-simulated workouts and have them try to be sharp." Red-wine said. "We don't want them to get rusty; we just have to change their workouts and hopefully keep them sharp." While the rest of the team was in Arkansas dealing with severe weather, junior Lauren Bonds headed to Palo Alto, Calif., to compete at the Peyton Jordan Invitational in the 1,500-meter run. Bonds took ninth overall in her heat and her time of 4:20.95 is the third best time in the 1,500-meter run event for Kansas. — Edited by Sam Speer O'Hair avenges Bay Hill collapse PGA hawaiian After losing his five-shot lead at Bay Hill, Sean O'Hair wins Quail Hollow Championship BY DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press Sean O'Hair watches his tee shot on the third hole during the final round of the Quail Hollow Championship golf tournament at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, N.C., Sunday. ASSOCIATED PRESS "Over who?" O'Hair replied. CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Standing on the 18th tee, Sean O'Hair asked his caddie where he stood in the Quail Hollow Championship and got word that he had a one-shot lead. It wasn't Tiger Woods. It might not have mattered. Five weeks after blowing a five-shot lead at Bay Hill against the world's No. 1 player, O'Hair was determined to keep putting himself in contention until he figured out how to win down the stretch. That time came Sunday against one of the strongest fields of the year, with Woods in his rearview mirror. O'Hair, 26, closed with a 3-under 69 — the only player from the last nine groups to break 70 — and made enough key birdies that finishing with consecutive bogeys on the two toughest holes at Quail Hollow didn't cost him. He wound up with a one-shot victory over Lucas Glover and Bubba Watson to become only the third player in his 20s with at least three PGA Tour vico- over the firm green and his birdie chip turned away to the left. He closed with a 71 to join Watson (70) in a tie for second. ries. The others are Sergio Garcia and Adam Scott. "Losing (stunk) at Bay Hill," O'Hair said. "Even though it's tough to lose like that, to lose a five-shot lead against Tiger, you still learn from it. I talked to my coach. I talked to my caddie, Paul (Tesori). And we just all said all I have to do is keep putting myself in those situations, and at some point I'm going to learn how to win. It's just nice to win as quickly as I did after Bay Hill." "Even though it's tough to lose like that, to lose a five-shot lead against Tiger, you still learn from it." O'Hair took the outright lead with a two-putt birdie from 70 feet on the 15th, then seized control with an 8-iron to 8 feet for birdie on the 16th hole, allowing him some room for error on the frightening finishing holes. "I just hit it as hard as I could and tried to flight it," O'Hair said, "and hit really a perfect golf shot." Glover, who bogeyed the par-3 17th, had a chance to force a playoff until his approach bounded Woods struggled with his game throughout the final round, but he still had a chance to tie for the lead when he drove the par-4 14th green and had an eagle put from just inside 25 feet. He threw putted for par, then failed to birdie the par-5 15th. Woods finished with 10 straight pars for a 72 to finish alone in fourth, two shots behind. "I had my opportunity there at 14. I made a mistake there," Woods said. "I knew the green was baked out. It was downwind, and I didn't heed my own warning, and ended up putting too hard." Watson, who has never won on the PGA Tour or Nationwide Tour, was atop the leaderboard for most of the back nine until he couldn't make the short putts required of champions. He missed from 6 feet for birdie on the 15th, and the same distance on the 16th. Glover also missed a 5-foot birdie putt on the 15th that ultimately cost him. O'Hair allowed for a few nervous moments with a three-putt bogey from 25 feet on the 18th, one of the fastest putts on the course. He was spared when Glover's shot was too strong. "I thought it was good, I really did," Glover said of his pitching either wind or adrenaline, probably a little of both." O'Hair, who finished at 11-under 277, will move up to "He's got talent. We know that." No. 12 in the world ranking, his highest position ever. He also earned $1.17 million, giving him just short of $3 million for the year, more than he has ever made in any one season. Not bad for a guy who once traveled the mini-tours with his wife in a 40-foot bus, at times having to sit out tournaments because he couldn't afford the entry fees, playing others under pressure to make money to eat. Now they have two children, with another one due next month. makes this so sweet," O'Hair said. "It makes the hard work worth it, and it's just really nice to enjoy it with her, especially where we came from." Zach Johnson, who had a two-shot lead to start the final round, imploded on the par-3 second hole with a triple bogey from the trees. He wound up with a 76. TIGER WOODS Profesional golfer "I think that's the stuff that O'Hair recalls running into Woods on Monday at the Masters, eight days after the Bay Hill fiasco, nodding to a friend but grumbling under his breath at the reminder of what went wrong On Sunday, Woods hung around long enough to congratulate O'Hair, who was holding 4-year-old daughter Molly. O'Hair said Woods sent him a text message after Bay Hill with "some nice words,"after a delay of 1 hour, 54 minutes. Woods had more for him on Sunday. "He's got all the talent. We know that," Woods said. "We've seen how well he'll played. He's been through a lot off the golf course, and it's just a matter of time before all that settles in." MLB Nationals face relentless rain ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON—John Lannan was prepared to face the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday. Instead, the Washington Nationals left-hander waited out a nearly two-hour rain delay, then turned his attention to watching video of an unexpected opponent. Sunday's scheduledgamebetween the Cardinals and Nationals was posted by rain after a delay of 1 hour, 54 minutes. Lannan's start was pushed back to Monday night, when he'll face the "I'm familiar with the (Astros) hitters, more so than the Cardinals." "I'm going to go watch some video. I faced the Astros a couple of times — I faced them in spring training and I faced them last year. I'm familiar with the hitters, more so than the Cardinals," Lannan said. Sunday's game never got started as persistent showers swept JOHN LANNAN Nationals pitcher Houston Astros in the opener of a two-game series at Nationals Park. However, heavy rains are forecast for Washington on Monday, so that start also could be in jeopardy. No makeup date was immediately announced, and choosing one for the rescheduled game could be tricky. It was the last in a four-game series between the teams that marks the Cardinal's only through Washington and never let up. The grounds crew removed the tarp twice to drain water, once more to spread drying compound over the infield, then a final time visit to Washington this season. St. Louis had already scratched scheduled starter Kyle Lohse because of the wet conditions and replaced him with reliever Kyle McClellan, who would have made his first major league start. "We decided (the field) was too dangerous to play on," said Mike Rizzo, Washington's acting general manager. Instead, McClellan will return to the bullpen and Lohse will start Monday night at home against Philadelphia. to rid it of more accumulated precipitation.

"Running around like my head's cut off," he said. Don't worry, rookie. You're far from alone. New coach Josh McDaniels' intricate offense is making many heads spin as players try to tackle the terminology. The Broncos received a small sampling of what's in store as they finished a three-day voluntary minicamp Sunday. The errors were abundant over the three days — just as McDaniels expected. "They're going to make mistakes for a little while," he said. "That's what these practices are for, to get those kinks out and hopefully come to training camp and not have to iron them all out." For Moreno, it was an eye-opening minicamp. He came away with the realization that he needed to bury himself in the books. Yet even he feels swamped. "You've got to really study, you've got to be in the playbook at night when you get home, even though it's late," said Moreno, who was taken with the 12th pick in last weekend's draft. "It's tough." LaMont Jordan can vouch for that. He's already quite versed with McDaniels' schemes after playing last season with New England. "I'm still learning," Jordan said. "Just when you think you know it all, you don't ... That's why we're all helping one another out. The more (Moreno) studies, the more he's around, the more he hears the verbiage, the quicker he'll pick it up." --housing DQ DQ Buy One Blizzard and Get ONE FREE of equal or lesser size 2345 Iowa 1835 Massachusetts 842-9359 843-3588 Coupon not valid with any other offer.

ROCKT Heading into the First Varsity Eight, the meets last race, the Jayhawks sat three points behind Texas and three points ahead of Kansas State. But, 500 meters into the race, officials stopped the competitors and brought them back for a re-start because of a wake from a nearby motorized boat. "We really let it affect us a lot more than the other teams did," senior Emily Martin said. "We had a really good start in the first race. When we came back for the second start we didn't put it together like we did the first time." with a time of six minutes and 44.4 seconds, which moved the Wildcats into second place. Texas finished second and held on to win the title, while Kansas' third-place finish dropped it to third in the overall "When we came back for the second start we didn't put it together like we did the first time." standings.

O k l a h o m a competed in the event but didn't count in the A victory and a third-place finish from Texas in that final race would have tied Kansas for first. Still, Catloth said he was pleased that his team finally got to compete in a conference championship. On the re-start, K-State won standings because it didn't field a full varsity squad.

IT'S FINALS GUIDE FINALS GUIDE May 11-15 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 4 8B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN KENTUCKY DERBY MONDAY, MAY 4, 2009 50-1 long shot wears Derby crown Mine That Bird surprises the crowd and his handlers with a 6 $ _{3/4} $ -length victory TRAINING CO Jockey Calvin Borel smiles as he grabs the halter of Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird in the stable area at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky., Sunday. Borel came from last to first to win his second Kentucky Derby aboard the colt. ASSOCIATED PRESS BY BETH HARRIS Associated Press LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Mine That Bird stood regally, his ears pricked, his gaze fixed on the rows of clicking cameras. Then the 50-1 upset winner of the Kentucky Derby put his head down and began munching on grass, leaving his human handlers still in shock about his stunning $6\frac{1}{4}$-length victory a day earlier. "It's hard to believe we come in here and actually won this thing," bareback rider-turned-trainer Bennie Woolley Jr. said Sunday morning. "Right now it's a little overwhelming." As proof, Mine That Bird wore a cream blanket with embroidered red roses proclaiming him as the Derby winner. Whether he moves on to run in the 1 3-16-mile Preakness on May 16 will be decided in the next couple days, Woolley said. "The Preakness tends to be a little more speed-biased and I don't know that that's going to fit our horse all that well," he said. If Mine That Bird skips the middle jewel of the Triple Crown, he'll be pointed toward the Belmont Stakes in June. Woolley believes the grueling 1½-mile "Test of the Champion" would suit the gelding, whose father Birdstone won the 2004 Belmont. The Derby winner hasn't bypassed the Preakness since 1996, when Grindstone was injured between the two races and retired. The Derby winner has followed up by winning the Preakness seven times in the last 12 years. Mark Allen wants to see the horse he and Leonard Blach purchased for $400,000 before last year's Breeders' Cup run in Baltimore. "If this horse is doing good, you bet we'll run, but he's going to have to tell us," he said. "The horse will tell us. We don't owe nobody nothing." Going into the Derby, Woolley, along with cowers Allen and Blach, had the modest goal of finishing sixth or better with the gelding they vanned from New Mexico to compete against some of the sport's priciest horseflesh. ride by Calvin Borel, Mine That Bird came flying home in the mud "The horse training was good, but ... you got to be real about it." "The horse was training good, we knew that." Allen said, "but we were going against guys like D. Wayne Lukas and Bob Baffert, so you got to be real about it." Under an expert rail-hugging MARK ALLEN Mine That Bird co-owner to earn a victory that was worth $1.4 million. Hed never even run in a Grade 1 stakes race before Saturday. Baffert and Lukas, both Hall of Fame trainers who own a combined seven Derby victories, later offered their congratulations to the self- described cowboys who came up the same way they did, owning and training quarterhorses. ONE GRADUATION THE UNIVERSITY OF TAMPA GAITAN GRAD GUIDE 2009|5.7.09 "Right now he's the winner of the Derby and you can't knock him for that," said Baffert, who admitted he was still in shock after Mine That Bird rocketed past Pioneerof the Nile. RILING, BURKHEAD, & NITCHER CHARTERED SERVING LAWRENCE SINCE 1900 prospects, potential rivals were lining up to take him on. "I figured hed go off at 100-1," Woolley said. "Every playmaker in the Form and everything else said he had the biggest chance to run last of anybody." Trainer Gary Stute said Papa Clem, who finished fourth in the Derby, will run in the Preakness. Woolley, Allen and Blach didn't bet on Mine That Bird, whose $103.20 win payout was the second-largest in Derby history. While Mine That Bird's connections considered his Preakness YOU NEED IMMEI YOU TO TH LOSE "Every playmaker in the Form and everything else said he had the biggest chance to run last of anybody."

"Baffert's horse (Pioneer of the Nile) came over and bumped me. If it were a normal race there might have been an inquiry. With any luck we could have been second." BENNIE WOOLLEY JR. Rider FOR MORE INFO LOOKUP RILING, BURKHEAD, AND NITCHER CHARTERED ON MARKETPLACE Other possible starters from the Derby are runner-up Pioneerof the Nile, third-place Musket Man, Join in the Dance (7th), General Quarters (10th) and wagering favorite Friesan Fire, who finished next-to-last. After fans had a chance to take photos, the garland was removed. The two men then stripped the blanket of its flowers and handed them out to a long line of $ ^ { f } $ Potential new shooters are Delta Jackpot winner Big Drama, Withers winner Mr. Fantasy, Take the Points and Miner's Escape. The Preakness is limited to 14 starters. After a steady rain gave way to overcast skies, Woolley and Allen made their way to the front gate of Churchill Downs. They placed the winner's garland of red roses on the recently unveiled statue of Barbaro, the 2006 Derby winner who broke down in the Preakness and had be euthanized nine months later. some of whom told Woolley and Allen they had cashed big win tickets on Mine That Bird. Several people congratulated and thanked the buddies, who first met up in a New Mexico bar 25 years ago. "I started a fight and he helped me out," Allen said, nodding in Woolley's direction. "We wound up on top, but it took us a while." They could say the same thing about their road to improbable Derby glory.

A familiar problem crept back into Sunday's game. The bottom of the order struggled again, with the six through nine hitters going a combined 1-for-16. "We've been getting better contribution from the tail end of our lineup and I think that's the Oklahoma responded with a six-run first inning it looked as if Oklahoma wouldn't stopped scoring. Price admitted he told his players to be ready to score "We've been getting better contribution from the tail end of our lineup." reason we've been putting more runs up" Price said. "Today we weren't as good six through nine." RITCH PRICE Kansas coach But the bullpen kept Kansas in the game. After Kansas scored twice in the first inning and some runs. "I told the club when they got the six spot it's going to take 12 to win today," Price said. "When we got to nine, I was hoping 9-8 would win it." Price was able to laugh however before finishing his thought. "Just wasn't quite good enough." Not good enough for the sweep, but two out of three works for Price. — Edited by Realle Roth Kansas 203 040 0000 - 9 60 Oklahoma 600 100 2001 - 10-131 BOX SCORE Kansas AB R H RBI Narodowski ss 2 3 1 0 Price 2b 3 1 0 0 Heere rf 4 2 1 0 Afenir c 4 1 1 2 Thompson 3b 5 2 2 6 Lytle lf 5 2 2 6 Land 1b 3 0 0 0 Waters dh 4 0 0 0 Brunansky cf 4 0 1 0 Totals 34 9 6 8 Oklahoma AB R H RBI Johnson cf 4 2 2 1 Harughty 2b 5 1 2 2 Hernandez ss 5 2 2 1 Wise dh 5 1 1 0 Buechele 3b 5 1 2 2 Baker 1b 5 0 1 0 Ogle c 4 2 1 2 Ellison lf 2 1 0 0 Johnson lf 2 0 1 1 Herren rf 4 0 1 1 Totals 41 10 13 10 E-Oklahoma: Hernandez (17). 2B-Oklahoma: Johnson (8).

Associated Press --- . --- G THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY AUG. 4, 2020 MONDAY, MAY 4, 2009 SPORTS 9B NBA the three e Roth Joe Johnson's long threes help Atlanta get to next round BY PAUL NEWBERRY Associated Press uses with which n'er'on using some n' g 0. four uri Pressed Press ATLANTA — Joe Johnson was tired of all the double- and triple-teaming. So he put up a shot before Miami could get an extra defender on him. Swish. From about 30 feet away. After a mostly disappointing series, Johnson finally showed up when the Hawks needed him most, making six 3-pointers and scoring 27 points to lead Atlanta into the second round of the playoffs with a 91-78 victory over Dwyane Wade and the Heat in Game 7 Sunday. Atlanta got past the first round for the first time since 1999. Their reward? A matchup with LeBron James and the top-seeded Cavaliers, beginning Tuesday night in Cleveland. Johnson, the Hawks' top scorer during the regular season, was held under 20 points in five of the first six games by the Heat. It looked like more of the same when he missed his first five shots of the decisive contest. Then, suddenly, he found his range. First, a 3-pointer from just outside the line. Then, on Atlanta's next possession, he pulled up near the tip of the winged logo at center court—a good 7 to 8 short of the arc—and launched another one. Nothing but net, even after he got a bit of a hip check from a startled Wade, who looked off toward the stands in disbelief after the ball went through. "I was just trying to be more aggressive" Johnson said. "I haven't put up a three that long in a while. I said, 'Forget it,' and just launched it. Making that got me into a little rhythm." He finished 6-of-8 from beyond the arc, leading the Hawks to the final blowout in a series that was totally devoid of any drama. Every game was decided by at least 10 points "When Joe is hitting 40-foot 3s," Wade said, "it's one of those nights." After a back-and-forth first quarter that ended with Atlanta ahead 20-18, the Hawks pulled out to a 49-36 lead by "I haven't put up a three that long in a while. I said, 'Forget it,' and just launched it." JOE JOHNSON Atlanta Hawks guard halftime. They might as well have started the celebration right then. There were only 15 lead changes in seven games—not one of them after the opening period. were thrown. The Hawks turned the contest into a laugher in the final quarter. Flip Murray hit a 3-pointer to give Atlanta its biggest lead, 85-66, and both teams cleared their benches in the closing minutes. The Hawks will need everyone for the Cavaliers, who have lost only two games at home all season. Things got ugly late while the Hawks fans chanted "Hey, hey, hey, goodbye!" Zaza Pachulia, who provided more quality minutes off the bench, drove to the hoop and was collared around the neck by Udonis Haslem. The Miami forward was tossed out of the game for a flagrant foul, while Atlanta coach Mike Woodson charged onto the court to make sure no punches HAWKS 2 Miami is done, its finite epitomized by Haslem's inglorious exit. He ripped off his jersey on the way to the locker room, throwing it into the crowd before he disappeared down the tunnel. Still, it was quite a comeback season for Wade and the Heat, which bounced back from a dismal 15-67 record to make the playoffs as the fifth seed in the East. "I'm very encouraged by this season," said Wade, who scored 31 points. "The team that won 15 games last year came back to win 43 games this year and took Atlanta to seven games in the playoffs. We've got something to build on." Instead, it's the Hawks moving on. Red and silver streamers fell from the roof of Philips Arena as the horn sounded, celebrating the team's first playoff series win since a five-game triumph over Detroit in 1999. That team was swept by New York in the next round and then drifted into irrelevance, enduring nine straight losing seasons before this year's 47-35 mark was good enough for home-court advantage in the opening round of the playoffs. Atlanta Hawks' Joe Johnson, with the ball, works to get around Miami Heat's Dwayne Wade in the first quarter of Game 7 on Sunday. Johnston hit 6-of-8 three-pointers, including two more than 40-feet from the basket, to score a game-high 27 points. Atlanta eliminated Miami from the playoffs, 91-78. Wade scored 31 points but the majority of those came after the Hawks had already built a comfortable lead. Bothered by back spasms throughout the series, he didn't have enough help from his young teammates to get through to a matchup against James in the second round. A year ago, the Hawks learned the benefits of playing Game 7 at home. After taking the eventual NBA champion Celtics to the limit, Atlanta was blown out in the decisive game at Boston. This time, the Hawks got to play at home, and they doled out the same treatment to Miami. Mike Bibby might have been the Hawks most valuable player in the series. He averaged just under 15 points and 5 assists in the seven games. He even stood up to Woodson when the coach complained about Josh Smith (21 points) putting up an errant 3-pointer from the corner. When Woodson called his point guard over, Bibby shot back with an expletive. "Y'all tell him to move," ASSOCIATED PRESS Bibby growled. Woodson simply turned away, rubbing his goatee and smiling slightly. This was the first Game 7 ever played in Atlanta. As if that wasn't unusual enough, the Hawks had not won a Game 7 since 1961—when the franchise was still in St. Louis. NBA "It feel like the monkey's off Atlanta's back," Smith said. "Not just the team's back. The whole city." Nuggets swarm Mavericks, cruise to 14-point victory Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki, front, looks for room to shoot as Denver Nuggets forward Nene defends during the first quarter of Game 1 on Sunday. Denver took a 1-0 series lead thanks in large part to Nene's career playoff high 24 points. DIESEL ASSOCIATED PRESS Denver rides 14-game home court winning streak into Game 2 BY ARNIE STAPLETON Associated Press Associated Press Nene scored 18 of his career playoff high 24 points in the first half and the Denver Nuggets raced past the Dallas Mavericks 109-95 Sunday in the first day game in the Pepsi Center's 10-year history. DENVER — Nene kept Denver in it until his teammates could turn this one into another runaway. Carmelo Anthony scored 23 points, including a dunk off J.R. smiths became the-back assist that rocked the arena in the closing minutes. Smith added 15 points, leading a bench that outscored Dallas' celebrated reserves 38-24 before both teams emptied their benches in the meaningless final minutes. nine early, looked like they were going to pull away late in the third period when their defense led to several fastbreak baskets and an 81-72 lead. Game 2 is Tuesday night at the Pepsi Center, where the Nuggets have won 14 straight, including four in the playoffs. All four have been blowouts. Dirk Nowitzki led Dallas with 28 points and 10 boards and Josh Howard, Jason Kidd and Jason Terry each scored 15. But Antoine Wright's 26-foot 3-pointer to beat the shot clock jump-started the Mavericks, who pulled to 82-80 in the first minute of the fourth quarter when Terry sank a 3 and Nowitzki swished one of his fadeaway jumpers. The Nuggets responded with a 15-4 run that ice it. The first half was the rough and tumble both teams expected. Dirk Nowitzki was thrown to the floor by Kenyon Martin in the first quarter. It began with two free throws and a bucket from Chris Andersen The Nuggets, who trailed by and two fouls shots and a jumper from Anthony that make it 90-82. From there on, it was the brand of basketball the Nuggets have been playing all season, with Chauncey Billups leading the way at both ends of the floor, blocked shots leading to fastbreak baskets and 3-pointers that broke the Mavericks' spirit. The first half was the rough and tumble both teams expected. Nowitzki, who scored 13 of the Mavericks' first 17 points, was thrown to the floor by Kenyon Martin in the first quarter. fouls whistled, two of them on Anthony, who took a seat midway through the second quarter after picking up his third foul. There were also some touch The Nuggets did just fine without him, taking a 51-47 halftime lead thanks to Nene's 18 first-half points, which tied his career playoff high for an entire game. Howard, who missed two 11-game stretches this season with a bum left ankle and probably needs surgery, turned his right ankle in the second quarter when he got tangled up with Billups. He went to the locker room but returned to action before halftime. Howard thought he had hit a running hook at the buzzer and he trotted up the tunnel in jubilation only to hear the arena announcer gleefully report the shot was being waived off. Nene, whose career has been dogged by serious injuries and testicular cancer, played more minutes than ever this season and over the last month he really hit a wall. In the Nuggets' five-game dispatch of New Orleans in the first round, he averaged 9.0 points and 7.8 rebounds. His fantastic first half saved the Nuggets, who got a combined seven points from Anthony and Billups. MLB with eight runs, three doubles and 13 RBIs.

He took a perfect game into the ninth inning on Aug. 31, 2007, at the Metrodome before issuing a leadoff walk to John Buck and allowing a one-out single by pinch-hitter Mike Sweeney. The right-hander finished that game with a one-hitter. This time was a much different outcome. "A little frustrating, obviously," Baker said. "Just try to take what you can take positively from the outing and just kind of go from there." Guillen drove in four runs, and Kansas City starter Gil Meche (2-2) lasted six innings and a season-high 116 pitches after leaving his previous start at Toronto with lower back stiffness. "When they've got a no-hitter into the seventh inning and we get five runs, that says a lot that the guys haven't given up," said Meche, who also started opposite Baker during his 2007 one-hitter. Delmon Young's RBI single in the sixth gave Minnesota a 4-0 lead. Until that point, Baker's lone blemish was a second-inning walk to Guillen. Baker then retired 15 straight before Bloomquist's lead-off single in the seventh. Mark Teahen followed with a single and Guillen hit his third homer on an 0-2 pitch to pull the Royals to 4-3. "The game did a 360 on us," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "I don't know if he hit a wall. It looked like he just couldn't make a pitch after he gave up that one hit. A tough day. Bake threw the heck out of the ball." Mike Jacobs and David DeJesus singled to chase Baker, who struck out four and left to a standing ovation. Still, he wound up with a loss. "Didn't seem like they ever gave up or ever gave in," Baker said. "They made me battle the whole game, made me throw a lot of pitches." Luis Ayala gave up Alberto Callaspo's two-run double to lefthcenter, putting the Royals up 5-4. Guillen added a run-scoringdouble in the eighth and Coco Crisphit a sacrifice fly in the ninth. Guillen has three homers since coming off the disabled list April 24. "He's a cornerstone there in the middle of the lineup and he's an RBI machine," Royals manager Trey Hillman said. "It's nice having him back." Horacio Ramirez and Jamey Wright each worked a scoreless inning before Joakim Soria pitched the ninth for his sixth save in six chances.

Cubs pitcher injured, but bats finally picking up ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO — Just when the Chicago Cubs started swinging the bats, they may have lost the centerpiece to their pitching staff. Derrek Lee hit a grand slam shortly after Cubs ace Carlos Zambrano hurt himself while beating out a bunt single, and Chicago defeated the Florida Martins 6-4 Sunday for their third straight win. Zambrano strained his left hamstring on his leadoff it in the fifth inning and left the game. Zambrano was taken to a hospital for an MRI exam. The Cubs will have the results on Monday, though manager Lou Piniella said Big Z's next scheduled start "is in jeopardy." "That will be a big blow," Lee said. "Hopefully it's not too serious. He's a horse and we don't want him to miss too many games. Chicago, which led the National League in runs scored last season, had gone seven of nine games of scoring three runs or less until breaking out for an 8-6 win on Friday night. Chicago then won 6-1 on Saturday. If Zambrano misses any time, the Cubs will need their bats to continue this weekend's surge. Mike Fontenot went 2 for 4 with a homer and a stolen base for Chicago, which won its third straight for just the second time this season. Ryan Theriot also went 2 for 4, but his surprising home-run streak "We're putting some runs on the board with a little more consistency and we're winning with a little more consistency," Piniella said. "If we get Derrek swinging the bat the way he's capable of, it really helps our offense." ended at two games. He had gone 620 at-bats without a homer before his grand slam on Friday. He added a two-run shot on Saturday. John Baker homered, doubled and singled for the Marlins, who have lost 10 of 13 since starting the season 11-1. Hanley Ramirez added a double and three walks for Florida. Ricky Nolasco allowed five earned runs and eight hits in six innings. A year after setting career bests with 15 wins and an ERA of "Other than a pitch here or there, I thought out of the six innings he pitched four that were pretty decentinnings."

Marc Greenberg, chairman of the department of Slavic languages and literatures, said the University's new Center for Global and International Studies was trying to find ways to entice students to try learning less-commonly taught languages, LCTLs, available at the University. He said the Maggie Childs, chairwoman of the department of East Asian languages and cultures, said that two weeks ago the heads of foreign language departments met to discuss changing the requirements for students studying obscure languages. They agreed that some languages should be allowed to fulfill the requirement with a four-semester sequence of three-credit hour courses. William Tsutsui, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, led the meeting. He said it would be up to individual language departments to determine whether the change could be made. Students studying a foreign language are usually required to take two 5-hour classes and then two three-hour classes for a total of 16 hours. He said most languages, including Hindi, which will be offered for the first time in Fall 2009, would continue to use that model.

The event, held today, will feature sombrero making, basic Spanish lessons, "loteria," or Mexican bingo, and other games. fraternity on campus, said the event aimed to reverse cultural stereotypes, as well as educate the community. "We're trying to make sure our younger generations grow up more tolerant and open minded than in the past," Munoz said. Lambda Gamma National sorority and the Hispanic American Leadership Organization worked together to host the event. Latino- and Latina-based groups Sigma Beta Beta Mt, Mu Sigma "We're trying to make sure our younger generations grow up more tolerant and open minded." Ben Fuentes, Satanta sophomore and HALO president, said this was the first year the organization was involved with the event. He said HALO membership was higher than ever, and the organization wanted to get involved. "We wanted to do more on campus and do more for the community," Fuentes said. "We're filling in incorrect errors and promoting cultural education." Munoz said the fraternity and sorority were preparing traditional Latino dances to perform for the elementary school students.

"In the past we've had support from the community," Munoz said. "Now, we're having a positive impact on the community." Besides working with school children, Munoz said the groups were involved with Harvest of Hope, a three-week program that invites 50 to 60 high school-aged students of migrant farmers from Kansas to the University for a chance to experience college life. Eric Martinez, Garden City senior and member of the fraternity, said their performances usually required hours of preparation. Martinez said practicing the dances could sometimes be frustrating, but he enjoyed working with the kids. "When we teach kids, we take a completely different attitude, and it's usually a lot of fun," Martinez said. — Edited by Susan Melgren POLITICS Speaker to discuss health Sebelius' role in reform Harold Godwin, associate dean of the School of Pharmacy, will speak tomorrow on the future of the health care system at a pizza and politics event for the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics. Godwin, who is also the president-elect of the American Pharmacists Association, will address some of the issues former Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius will face as secretary of health and human services. Chelsea Mertz, Topeka junior and student assistant at the Dole Institute, said that health care would be one of the major issues in Washington during the next year and that students should pay attention to policies that would affect their future. "Health care is the next big battle that's going to go down," Mertz said. Mertz said Godwin was chosen to speak on the subject because of his proximity to the issue. "He's going to have a lot to do with these people on Capitol Hill." Mertz said. Sebelius accepted the nomination as the next secretary of health and human services and was sworn into office April 28. In addition to cabinet member and governor, Sebelius has also served as Kansas insurance commissioner. According to the latest government data and the National Coalition on Health Care, nearly 18 percent of the population under the age of 65 doesn't have health care. Mertz said the topic was important because the last time the health care system was in the spotlight was in the 1990s during Hilary Clinton's unsuccessful attempt to reform it. Godwin will speak at 12:30 p.m. in the Centennial Room in the Kansas Union. Free pizza will be provided. Betsy Cutcliff BUSINESS Sprint Sprint Together with NEXTEL Paul Sakuma /Associated Press A Sprint Nextel employee works at a store in San Jose, Calif. On May 4, Sprint Nextel Corp., the nation's third-largest wireless service provider reported a larger first-quarter loss on declining revenue and a charge for job cuts announced in January. Sprint receives surge of prepaid customers BY DAVID TWIDDY ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Despite a widening net loss, Sprint Nextel Corp. finally got some good news in its long recovery Monday, as a big surge in "prepaid" customers offset another nightmarish drop in valuable subscribers who sign annual contracts. The Overland Park-based company lost $594 million, or 21 cents per share, during the three months ending March 31, versus a loss of $505 million, or 18 cents per share, a year ago. The company said it recorded a $327 million charge for severance and other costs connected with its announcement in January that it planned to cut 8,000 more jobs — 14 percent of its work force. Revenue declined 12 percent to $8.21 billion, below analysts' expectation of $8.28 billion. The Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed sources, reported Monday that Sprint was in final discussions to outsource management of its cellular network — and transfer between 5,000 and 7,000 U.S. jobs — to Telefon AB L.M. Ericsson. Stifel Nicolaus analyst Christopher King wrote in a research note that shifting the network management to another company could cut Sprint's annual expenses by $1 billion. Sprint said its number of subscribers fell 182,000, a marked improvement from the company's fourth quarter, when it lost 1.3 million. However, the company said it lost 1.25 million valuable "postpaid" customers who sign contracts, an increase from the loss of 1.1 million contract subscribers in the fourth quarter. By comparison, AT&T Inc. posted a net increase of 1.2 million subscribers during the quarter while Verizon Wireless reported adding 1.3 million. Making up most of the difference for Sprint were net gains of 764,000 prepaid customers on its iDEN network and 394,000 wholesale and affiliate subscribers. Unlike postpaid customers, prepaid subscribers don't sign contracts and generally generate less revenue. 1-800-467-2252 www.cleveland.edu - A variety of scholarships available offering up to $2,000 per trimester. - Three enrollment dates per year for the Doctor of Chiropractic program and the concurrent Bachelor of Science program. - Apply now for May and September 2009 classes!

KATE BEAVER COURTS Judges hear adoption case Man who claims to be adoptee's father wants trial to be stopped BY RAPHAEL TENTHANI TUESDAY,MAY5,2009 Associated Press BLANTYRE, Malawi — Malawi's highest court heard arguments Monday on Madonnas bid to adopt a 3-year-old girl from the southern African country, as a dispute erupted over whether a man trying to stop the proceedings is the girl's father. Madonna was not at Monday's hearing at the Malawi Supreme Court of Appeal, which was held in public after the judges reversed an earlier decision to hold a closed session. The three judges adjourned after hearing from lawyers for the pop star and for two independent children's rights groups. The judges did not immediately set a date for the next session in the case, at which a decision was expected to be announced. Madonna is fighting a lower court's decision that she cannot adopt Chifundo "Mercy" James because she had not been screened over time by Malawi authorities. The court said the rules were bent when Madonna adopted her son David from Malawi last year. The pop star's Malawian lawyer, Alan Chinula, said he was "hopeful" the appeal would succeed, and --- Madonna argued the lower court had relied on outdated law to block the girl's adoption. A renowned Malawi constitutional expert, Modechai Mchaa, joined Madonnà's legal team, arguing in court Monday that although the issue of residence was a factor, it would be unconstitutional if adhering to it negated Johns Gulumba, lawyer for Eye of the Child, an independent group that opposes the adoption, argued that following the rules kept the doors closed to potential child abusers. He added foreign adoptions should be the last resort, "when all other options, like foster parenting in country of residence, have failed." "certain rights of the child." Madonna found the girl in 2006 at Kondanani Children's Village, an orphanage in Bumbwe just south of the commercial capital of Blantyre. It was the same year she adopted David, whom she found at another orphanage in the central Mchinji district. On Sunday, a man told The Associated Press he was the girl's "How can he claim he is the father when he hasn't been around all this time?" said Peter Baneti, who explained that the girl was put in the orphanage because there was no one to breast-feed the baby. James Kambewa, a 24-year-old security guard, acknowledged he has never seen the child. According to court documents, she was placed in the orphanage when her 14-year-old mother died a few weeks after giving birth to her. father, and has sought help from the Malawi Law Society to stop the adoption. "I may be poor, but I think I have what it takes to raise a daughter," he said. "I will fight the adoption." Madonna spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg said in an e-mail message she doesn't know whether Kambeba is the father. Baneti said he had agreed to the adoption on behalf of the family, and that Kambewa was "just an opportunist." The brother of the girl's mother told the AP the family does not know Kambewa. "All I know is that Mercy has been in an orphanage since the day she was born." Rosenberg said. But Kambeba said he now wanted to claim custody of Chifundo.

The high court on Monday directed the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia to consider reinstating the $550,000 fine that the Federal Communications Commission imposed on CBS over Jackson's breast-baring performance at the 2004 Super Bowl. The order follows the high court ruling last week that narrowly upheld the FCC's policy threatening fines against even one-time uses of curse words on live television. In a statement, CBS said the Supreme Court's decision was not a surprise given last week's ruling and expressed confidence the court will again find the incident was not and could not have been anticipated by the network. Last year, the appeals court threw out the fine against CBS, saying the FCC strayed from its long-held approach of applying identical standards to words and images when reviewing complaints of indecency. The appellate court said the incident lasted nine-sixteenths of one second and should have been regarded as "feeting." The FCC previously deviated from its nearly 30-year practice of fining indecent broadcast programming only when it was so "pervasive as to amount to 'shock treatment' for the audience." the court said. The FCC appealed to the Supreme Court. The case had been put off while the justices dealt with a challenge led by Fox Television against the FCC's policy on fleeting expletives.

A single case of swine flu in us pigs has yet to be detected this year. Llars, all of them. Likely mad too, like the cows Campus alert: swine flu rumors keep spreading Liars, all of them. Likely mad,too, like the cows. JAMES FARMER PAGE 5A I am you will hear about the H1N1 virus, or swine flu. The country has been in a frenzy about the virus. In Mexico, more than a thousand people are sick and nearly 150 are dead, according to CNN.com. Although the threat of swine flu is real and has the potential to be severe, KU students should not panic. Plenty of misconceptions are floating around out there, and no matter how many times people get the facts, someone who's fallen prey to a Twitter rumor can still set off panic attacks. Here's a concise run-down on H1N1, the strain of influenza that includes swine flu. Swine flu is a respiratory illness with symptoms similar to regular flu. These symptoms include fever, lethargy, lack of appetite and coughing. Experts are concerned about the swine flu because it is a new viral strand with no vaccine. In the U.S., 226 cases of swine flu have been confirmed (although you'll see a different number by the time this column comes out) with one death in Texas. Two cases have been confirmed in Dickinson PETER HAWKINS CAMPUS CONNECTIONS ERIN BROWN County. The sick couple has been recovering with no need for hospitalization. Humans have been catching H1N1 for ages but have only recently been catching the strain for swine flu. Humans can spread the virus with a simple cough, sneeze or handshake. Consumption of pork does not cause swine flu. Cooking pork at 160°F would kill the swine flu, in addition to other bacteria and viruses, according to the CDC. Swine flu can spread from pig to person, person to pig, or person to person. As far as I know, there aren't any hordes of infected pigs on the KU campus, so for now all we've got to worry about is each other. People can receive a vaccination for the regular seasonal flu, which can be just as deadly as swine flu. So far in 2009, more than 13,000 people have died of complications from seasonal flu, according to CNN.com. In the U.S., the cases of swine flu have been mild to moderate. The best way to prevent illness from the H1N1 virus is to wash hands regularly. Experts also advise that anyone feeling ill stay home in order to prevent the spread of the virus. According to the CDC, two antiviral drugs, oseltamivir and zanamivir, have been licensed in the U.S. for treatment of the swine flu. The threat of the swine flu has the potential to become deadly in the U.S., and precautions should be taken. KU students, however, should also know the facts and be aware of the true risk of contracting the H1N1 virus. Your best bet? Don't panic, wash your hands like your mother taught you, and stay away from any suspicious-looking pigs on campus. Brown is a Wichita sophomore in journalism and political science. "STUDYING" FOR FINALS EDITORIAL CARTOON MARIAM SAIFAN STUDENT LIFE College teaches lessons in mixing career and marriage College allows you to explore different options in your life. Meeting a variety of people and learning about their lives was as valuable to me as the skills and knowledge I gained. Just talking to people has increased my understanding of the world. Perhaps those I've learned from the most are those who balanced marriage and work My mother used to tell me that if I wanted to be successful at my career, I'd better put off marriage. In Japan when my mother was younger, once women left their jobs to have children it was difficult to return to their positions or find other jobs. Some employers still hesitate to hire married women, especially if they have children. According to The CIA World Fact Book, the fertility rate in Japan is 1.21. (The rate in the United States is 2.05.) The fertility rate indicates the average number of children born to a woman in her lifetime. The fertility rate in Japan has been decreasing since the 1970s. The decline is often associated with the shortage of good childcare. The availability of childcare service doesn't meet the recent increase in female employment. As a result, many Japanese women are discouraged from raising children. In Japanese TV and movies, successful career women are usually portrayed as single. I didn't have a good role model around me, and I always thought I shouldn't get married until I established my career. Then, during my four years at the University, I met many married students. FILLING THE GAP SACHIKO MIYAKAWA Last year I attended a lecture by a KU alumna who used to be an embedded journalist for The Kansas City Star. I was surprised to learn that, as well as being a journalist in Iraq and Afghanistan, she was the mother of small children. It was eye-opening and encouraging for me to learn about her career, and how she balanced her job and personal life. SACHIKO MIYAKAWA My view of marriage has largely changed since I came to the University. I'm not getting married any time soon, but when I do, I have many role models to follow and will be able to make good decisions about the roles of marriage and work in my life. While you're in college, I encourage you to get out of your comfort zone and talk to different groups of people, especially those in professions that interest you. It's important to be exposed to diverse values to learn what your goals are in life, and how you can achieve them. Marriage is just one of many examples of things you can learn about by talking to other people. Miyakawa is a Tokyo senior in journalism. FROM WISCONSIN BY LAURA BRENNAN U. Wisconsin Badger Herald More restrained rhetoric correct strategy for PETA A visit to America's Dairyland, home of all things meaty, must have been somewhat daunting for the folks at PETA. PETAS vice president of policy, Bruce Friedrich, held a forum at the University of Wisconsin on the proposition that veganism can help end world hunger. PETA's reputation has not always held steady, even among liberal college students. Although PETA's stunts, such as suggesting Ben & Jerry's use breast milk instead of cow's milk in ice cream, are meant more to create attention than to be taken literally, they often rub people the wrong way. I imagine PETA doesn't mind being labeled as a bunch of nut jobs, but it may have inadvertently chased away otherwise interested people. Not everyone is comfortable dousing people in pig's blood, you know. Of course, PETAs extreme campaigns are extreme for a reason - they get noticed. Started in 1980, the non profit organization has grown to 187 employees, running on a budget funded almost entirely by its league of viciously loval members. I must admit, although I am a big supporter of PETA. I too have been turned off by some of its campaign strategies. Though I think getting the public's attention with dramatic advertisements and demonstrations is one way to get the message out, it should not be the only way. PETA's strategy alienates and patronizes and often does not explain better alternatives. Friedrich's talk on Thursday included discussion of animal welfare, but its main focus was on how a vegan or vegetarian diet can improve the environment. He discussed how the Western diet requires six to 20 times the resources a plant-based diet would require. Explaining why a vegan diet is positive, instead of simply preaching the sins of sirloin, could open people's minds to a new way of eating. PETA's strategy of speaking to college students in an intimate, accessible setting will certainly work in its favor if it keeps up a positive attitude. And, although I am all for flour-bombing Lindsay Lohan (fur coat or not), I think it might be a good idea to cool it on the vandalism.

KAREN OHMES Hutchinson junior teams' adviser, said the experiment was "wildly successful." He said besides making technical progress on their experiment, the students were able to learn in a unique way. "What's more important to me as an instructor is that they learned along the way and were able to experience things they could not have in a classroom," Barrett-Gonzalez said. He said he thought the students were able to reaffirm their enthusiasm for their future careers. "I know a lot of people who go to work every day and hate what they do." Barrett Gonzalez said. "These Edited by Susan Melgren young people will wind up being the whole opposite of that. They will love what they do" ONE GRADUATION THE UNIVERSITY OF JARRY HANSAW GRAD GUIDE 2009|5.7.09 Because he had to miss two weeks of classes for training, Zacharias said he was unable to turn in projects. He said most of his teachers were understanding, but he received poor grades in some classes as a result. MILITARY (CONTINUED FROM 1A) Zacharias wasn't the only student who was frustrated with the way the system worked, which is why the University created a "one-stop withdrawal" policy a few years ago that allows students in the military to remain enrolled while still deplored. Betty Childers, the Veterans Affairs certifying official, works with students in the military to help ease the transition. The number of students she works with is relatively small, but she said the role was an important one for the University and for its students. "This was started so students would have more time to spend with their family," Childers said. "You have to have a bit of compassion and know that they need that time and we need to do whatever we can do to make it easier, because not only are they students at the University who need some help, but they're also When students receive deployment orders they can speak with Childers. Childers then works with various departments, including the Bursar's Office and the Computing Center, so that all areas of campus will be informed about the student. She said being a communications liaison for students was one of the major ways she could help students. William Hardy, who has been deployed twice since 2006, said he wished he had made better use of the services the University provided. serving our country." "At the time I was aware of a policy that would withdraw me from all of my classes," Hardy said. "In the end it worked out well for me, but I am sure if I had followed the policy I may have had fewer headaches." Childers said the University was working to make students more aware of the services it provided to students in the military. Now, with the help of Childers, Zacharias is back in classes, preparing for finals. LANGUAGE (CONTINUED FROM 1A) Edited by Casey Miles problem was that students tended to study commonly taught languages rather than try others the University offers. Currently, the University offer more than 30 foreign languages, according to www.languages.ku.edu, including Mongolian; Wolof, the official language of Senegal; Hausa, the official language of Nigeria, and Yiddish. Tsutsui said that graduates with advanced language skills, especially in an LCTL, would have a foot up in the competitive employment market of the 21st century. "In the competitive global economy we all live in today, students will need something extra to differentiate themselves on the job market," Tsutsui said. "Languages are a valuable, bankable skill in many sectors of the economy, from finance to law to government and military work." Anne Liggett, Portland senior, started studying Uyghur (Ooighur), which is spoken in central Asia, in Fall 2007. She said that in her first year there were two students and another student auditing, but both her classmates have graduated since. "There are not very many schools across the country that offer Uyghur, while most schools teach Spanish, French, Italian, Chinese, so I wanted to take advantage of it here", Liggett said. "And to be taught by a native speaker is a rare blessing." Liggett said there were few students studying obscure languages, which made for a more individualized learning experience. "There aren't very many classes where you can get one-on-one instruction," Liggett said. "On the other hand, we always love to have more people study the language. Even if the language seems obscure to us, they are the heart language of millions of people." Zach Holden, Topeka senior, was first exposed to Tibetan while teaching English in Nepal and India last year. He decided to study the language this semester. There is only one other student in his class. He said he thought there should be more reasons for learning a language than the practicality of international economics. "By exposing yourself to an exotic language you expose yourself to a new way of seeing the world," Holden said. "I believe this is critically important for everyone, as it reduces ethnocentrism, fear and bigotry." Languages that currently fulfill the CLAS requirement: Holden said that as an anthropology major, he believed that cultural preservation was very important. He said that 40 years ago there were more than 6,000 languages spoken; now only about 3,000 of those are being Arabic Bosnian, Croatian & Serbian Chinese Danish Dutch French German Greek Hausa Hebrew Hungarian Italian Japanese Kiswahili Korean Latin Polish Portuguese Russian Spanish Swedish Turkish www.advising.ku.edu passed on. Diversity of language and culture is critical to humanity's survival as a species, Holden said. "Keeping small languages and cultures alive should be part of the global agenda as we move into the 21st century," Holden said. Edited by Melissa Johnson WORLD Iraqi government votes for departure of troops BAGHDAD — Iraq's government Monday ruled out allowing U.S. combat troops to remain in Iraqi cities after the June 30 deadline for their withdrawal, despite concern that Iraqi forces cannot cope with the security challenge following a resurgence of bombings in recent weeks. The departure of heavily armed combat troops from bases inside the cities is important psychologically to many Iraqis, who are eager to regain control of their country after six years of war and U.S. military occupation. U. S. officials played down the Iraqi decision, with Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman saying it's up to the Iraqi government to request an extension of the U.S. presence in the cities. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Mike Mullen, told reporters Monday that violence had not risen to a level that would force a change in the withdrawal schedule. The U.S.-Iraq security agreement that took effect this year calls for American combat troops to leave urban areas by the end of June, with all U.S. forces out of the country by the end of 2011.

Kansas had just beaten a relatively weak Western Illinois team way back on March 25th. Price, junior second baseman, had some words for sophomore third baseman Tony Thompson before answering any questions from the media. going to Price laughed person embri tir Thompson had just come off of his first multi-home run game of his career, giving him five home runs total at the time. "Yeah he isn't coming." Price said back to Thompson. "I think you put him out of reach today," Price said. "You think so?" Thompson answered back. After the exchange, someone asked Price what the exchange was about. Apparently there was a wager before the season between Thompson and sophomore outfielder Jimmy Waters. "They have a little bet going -- see who hits the most home runs," Price said. "Waters ain't going to catch him." Price and Thompson both laughed together. That's Price's personality: always ready to embrace teammates, good times or bad. At that point in the season Price's batting average was hovering below .250. But fast forward to today and Price's subpar batting average is all but an afterthought. Price had his average over .300 before the weekend series against Oklahoma, but it has now dipped down to a still-respectable 295, fifth on the team. "He's just healthier," coach Ritch Price said. "To raise his average 70 points in three weeks in our conference is a remarkable feat." Robby Price had trouble problems in his shoulders and hands. Though Ritch Price said Robby's not yet 100 percent healthy, he's healthy enough to not feel any after effects of his swing heading into Wednesday's rematch against Wichita State. Robby Price hasn't made excuses for himself all season. He hasn't changed his approach and feels that he's finally making some consistent contact and swims. "I think I've been seeing the ball well all year, I'm just a little bit more consistent throughout the game," Robby Price said.

More than 6,500 fans bought walk-up tickets — pushing the attendance over 21,000 — to watch Greinke pitch and he didn't disappoint.

It's a simple story.It's a college story. You are standing a cemetery in East Lawrence and the name on the memorial says "James Naismith". You are standing in a cemetery in East Lawrence. You started on campus near the Campanile. You ran through campus, and you ran past The Wheel on 14th Street, you ran past old houses and people gardening. And now you are here. "Dr James Naismith invented the game as a winter sport for the YMCA at Springfield, Massachusetts in 1891. In 1898 he accepted a position at the University of Kansas. His goal was to develop the University's Physical Education Department. He also agreed to accept the coaching position of KU's first basketball team." You are 22 years old and you will graduate from college in 13 days. So you've run through campus, run past Allen Fieldhouse, run past Strong Hall, run past everything. And then you realize why you're here, looking at the memorial of a man who has been dead for nearly 70 years. You love the University of Kansas and you're trying to find out why. And of course, we know the rest of the story. Naismith would coach a young man named Forrest C. Allen. You know him better as Phog. And Allen would turn Kansas into the most historic college basketball program in the country. --- And you love this place because the University of Kansas is basketball. The words on the Naismith memorial are pretty clear. You love this place because you love basketball. The sport was your first love. How can you explain the feeling of running a two-on-one fast break or taking a charge or hitting a three from the corner? You love this place because of the tradition. --- And you're pretty certain that without Naismith and Allen, you wouldn't be standing here. Here's a quick story. I was nursing a beer last Sunday at a bar filled with nostalgic seniors. You know, there's probably not a whole lot of productive value in spending a Sunday night at the bar, but when you are a senior and your college days are numbered, it just makes sense. So my friend Brad and I concluded that there is no better KU tradition than the Friday night bar band. "Seriously," Brad said. "Next year, I'm coming back just to hear the bar band." I'm not sure why we gain so much pleasure from listening to a college pep band blast out "Hey Jude" in a small bar packed with ridiculous college kids, but some things are better left a mystery.

This time around, Kansas may find itself in the College World Series, which will take place at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Neb., June 13-24. Of course, to reach the CWS the Jayhawks will have to survive the May 29 June 1 Regionals and the following week's Super Regionals. But this team, worthy of Top 25 consideration, appears as primed as any recent squad for a run. Kansas seems to have cured one of the year's biggest ills — playing on the road — by taking two of three games at No. 9 Oklahoma last weekend. Kansas has shown it can play with the contenders, with highlights including a sweep of them-No. 1 Texas in March. It's certainly encouraging to see them gaining some traction on the road, which is imperative to their advance to Omaha.

Edited by Justin Leverett NFL Collapse injures Cowboys special teams coach Possible microburst caused a protective structure to collapse on about 70 people FREIGHT BY DANNY ROBBINS Associated Press IRVING, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys' special teams coach was set for surgery Monday on his fractured cervical vertebrae after the team's tentlike practice facility collapsed in fierce wind. Firefighters investigate the collapsed canopy that covered the Dallas Cowboys indoor football facility in Irving, Texas. Four Cowboys staff members were injured when the roof collapsed. Cowboys spokesman Rich Darylpley all of the players and coaches were accounted for, and he didn't know the extent of the injuries to the four staff members who were hospitalized. ASSOCIATED PRESS Government inspectors were on site and began investigating the collapse, said Elizabeth Todd, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Officials with the city of Irving were examining construction and inspection paperwork regarding the $4 million structure built in 2003. Joe DeCamillis was one of 12 people injured and three Cowboys staff members still in the hospital following Saturday's accident. The Cowboys didn't immediately return a call regarding whether surgery on the 43-year-old assistant had begun early Monday. The most seriously injured was Rich Behm, the team's 33-year-old scouting assistant who was permanently paralyzed from the waist down after his spine was severed. Behm and assistant athletic trainer Greg Gaither, 35, remained hospitalized. Gaither had surgery on his fractured upper and lower right leg and was expected to be released this week. The company that built the facility — Summit Structures LLC of Allentown, Pa. — said the roof had been replaced in 2008. The statement said proper engineering was used during the original construction and the installation of the new roof. SUMMER Summit president Nathan Stobbe said he was in Irving on Monday, working with team and local officials to "fully assess this severe weather event." The company said it has few answers now on precisely what happened. About 70 people, including 27 players attending a rookie minicamp, were in the structure when the storm hit. Wind in the area was clocked at 64 mph, 1 mph shy of the threshold for a weak tornado. National Weather Service officials said a "microburst" may have pushed the wind beyond 70 mph at the top of the structure that was built in 2003. Media were restricted from the Cowboys headquarters through at least a week because of "ongoing work that is scheduled to take place in the aftermath of the accident." Most players at the minicamp were drafted the previous weekend or signed as undrafted rookies, but none were hurt. No veterans were involved. Coaches, support staff and media were also in the nofrills building, which is essentially a 100-yard football field with a few more yards of clearance all the way around. The roof was 80 feet high. Behm, DeCamillis and Gaither were standing on the field when the $4 million structure gave way, sending debris such as the framework and lights crashing to the ground. A&M athletic director Bill Byrne said the school has had no problems but will reevaluate its policy on practicing in bad weather in light of this collapse. "Our facility was put to the test this past fall when Hurricane Ike hit the Texas gulf coast," he said in a statement. "Our buildings withstood the high winds and our football team was not in the facility at that time."

LOUIS — The St. Louis Cardinals have jugged their bullpen, recalling right-hander Brad Thompson from Triple-A Memphis and optioning rookie right-hander P.J. Walters to Memphis. The moves came before opening a two-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday. Thompson was 0-1 with a 6.75 ERA in four games over 62-3 innings before being demoted April 15. Walters has a 9.58 ERA in five games, including one start in place of injured Chris Carpenter, while allowing three home runs in 10-13 innings. The move keeps the Cardinals with 13 pitchers and only four bench players. Associated Press SAN 009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, MAY 5, 2009 SPORTS 3B PRICE (CONTINUED FROM 1B) has been batting in the three hole behind Price's second spot in the lineup for more than a month now. Heere has come into his own since then, leading the team with a .363 batting average. Heere redshirted his first season at Kansas, also Price's first. Heere knows the importance Price brings not only to the plate, but also to the clubhouse. "He's huge. A three-year starter in the infield and the two hole spot up in the lineup. Obviously that's a big spot in the lineup." Heere said. Heere said there wasn't even a cause for concern during Price's early struggles. "I had no doubt that he would bring it up; he's a great player," Heere said. "I knew he would come around and get over that slump he's in." Robby Price stats by season But what might go unnoticed is Price's ability with the glove. He leads all middle infielders in fielding percentage and has had an uncountable number of spectacular plays.

Ritch Price will even go as far as to say there isn't another second baseman like him. "He may be the best second baseman in the country," Ritch Price said. "He's that special with the glove in his hand." But above all else, Robby Price's personality is what keeps the team together at times. His youthful attitude has seemed to rub off on his teammates, with the mood in the dugouts joyful and fun, as it was after the victories against Missouri and Texas. Robby Price also brings some confidence with that personality. After Kansas defeated Creighton at the home of the College World Series, Rosenblatt Stadium, he even went so far as to say this team had the talent to play one more time at Rosenblatt in June. "Definitely, we're playing real well; we believe in ourselves," Robby said. "We got a lot of confidence and we got some swagger with us. I wouldn't want to be on a team playing us right now because we got a little moxy, and that's a good thing." It might not be a bet or a guarantee, and talking about the College World Series means a little more than predicting a home run contest, but if there is one thing Robby Price has proved throughout his career, it's that he sure can call them like he sees them. Edited by Casey Miles NBA Hard foul will cost Martin large nugget of his salary BY PAT GRAHAM Associated Press DENVER — Denver Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin was fine $25,000 by the NBA for knocking Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki to the court in the opener of their second-round playoff series. Martin was also assessed a flagrant foul 1 for the contact, which occurred with about six minutes left in the first quarter of Sunday's game, after Nowitzki had scored Dallas' first 10 points on 5-for-5 shooting. UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND BASKETBALL Nowitzki said after the game he didn't have a problem with the foul, calling it "just a hard playoff foul!" After making his first six shots, Nowitzki was hounded by the Nuggets' rotation of Martin, Chris Andersen and Nene and went 6-of-16 the rest of the way to finish with 28 points in Dallas' 109-95 loss. The fine was announced after the teams had finished practice and left the Pepsi Center on Monday. "They really made me work for everything I got," Nowitzki said following the game. "They have a lot of good bodies they can throw at me. And they do a good job of rotating and staying down and playing physical." Martin knocked down Nowitzki with a shoulder bump when the AllStar tried to go baseline, drawing a technical foul. ASSOCIATED PRESS Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Kowitzi, back, tumbles out of play after being pushed by Denver Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin, right. Martin was called for a foul foul. Nuggets coach George Karl didn't see the foul Sunday because he had turned to talk to a player on his bench, but "it looked good on film," he said Monday. Over his career, Martin has been known for his physical play. Before the series, Martin said he was going to do everything in his power to perturb Nowitzki. "Hold him, grab him, push him, whatever you can do," cracked The Mavericks said Monday that they needed to match the Nuggets' aggressive nature in Game 2. "We've got to raise our level of intensity and play more physical and Martin, notting players are allowed six foul for a reason. play through some stuff", Nowitzki said. "If you turn the ball over in this gym it's basically a layup or a dunk. And that gets the crowd involved, that gets them pumped up. "We've got to be more ready for a physical game than we were." DODD (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Thanksgiving column I wrote last December. Here's a part of it. It's still my favorite story that I've written for The Kansan. I'm thankful for my last four years in Lawrence. I'm thankful for 14th and Ohio, long winding runs through campus, wings and mac n' cheese at Phi Psi and Friday lunches at the Wheel (followed by a game of darts). I'm thankful for the Friday night bar band and football game days with good weather and good company. I'm thankful for professors with energy and the faces in The Kansas newsroom. I'm thankful for sushi at Yokohama and the beer at Free State. I'm thankful for Rock Chalk Lattes in the morning and Wheel pizza at night. I'm thankful I have one semester of college left. I'm thankful for dollar night and '80s music at the Wheel. I'm thankful for Tuesday nights with nothing to do and Sunday Fundays. I'm thankful for the KAK and Shipwrecked. --- You love this place because you were born to go to school here. You were raised on Kansas basketball. Your grandfather went to school here during the great depression and that same grand-father took your father to the first game ever played at Allen Fieldhouse in 1955. You love this place because you believe that Lawrence is the perfect college town. The perfect mix of old academic charm and hippies and hipsters and Greeks and music and bars and parties and — well, here's a quick example. The other night I stayed out at the bar until last call and then sat out on a friend's porch until 4 a.m. discussing who was America's greatest ever singersongwriter, and of course, this seemed like a totally reasonable thing to do. You love this place because yo love college. You love this place because of the people. And you wish you could list every person that inspired you during the last four years. Here's another story from a Sunday spent sipping on cold beer and enjoying good company. It's from that same bar with nostalgic college seniors. We sat and talked and reflected. "Hey?" my friend Brian said. "Don't be sad because it's over. Smile because it happened." --story. Then Darrell Arthur quietly had a huge game, and it looked like he may be the story. But in the second half, it became quite clear that Memphis' Derrick Rose was in fact the story. So I began writing that story — a story on how Kansas had come so close once again and been foiled by the brilliant play of another superstar freshman. It was nearly complete. All I had to do was fill in quotes from players and coaches after the game. Then Mario made The Shot and we would never be the same. But in that moment, inside the Alamodome, I looked at my computer screen. I looked at the words on the Rose story and pressed delete. I had to start over. You know, journalists are supposed to be objective and professional and all that. But I have to admit, I've never been happier to delete a story. You love this place because of The Shot. You sat right down by the floor at the Alamodome on April 8, 2008. And when Sherron Collins somehow flipped the ball to Mario Chalmers, and Chalmers moved to his left and released that beautiful arcing shot, you turned to a friend and calmly said, "That's good." You love this place because you were right. Here's a quick story about 04-08-08. I covered that game for the Kansan, and we had a tight deadline. In this situation, you kind of have to predict what "the story" is going to be, so you can start writing your story before the game is over. First, I anticipated that Brandon Rush may be named MOP of the Final Four, so it looked like he might be the --every count. He threw 98 pitches — 58 for strikes — in five innings, allowing seven hits and three runs, two earned, with seven strike-outs. Colon hasn't allowed an earned run in 13 innings at home, but has given up 12 in 14 2-3 innings away from Chicago. You love this place because you're at home here. And I think that is the story. Our run is over. The class of 2009 will walk down the hill on May 17. We'll move on, become doctors, lawyers, teachers, engineers, accountants — we'll go into sales. We'll write books and make movies and get married and have kids and on and on. But that's tomorrow's story. Today, it's about spending 13 more days as college students. Thirteen more days to enjoy this school and this town. Thirteen more days to spend warm nights on porches with interesting people. Thirteen days to talk about college and life and America's great singer-songwriters. Thirteen more days at home. - Edited by Melissa Johnson ROYALS (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Kansas City scored the unearned run in the second inning, when Podsnik bobbed Alberto Callaspo's single in right, allowing Jose Guillen to score. Colon hurt himself in the third, leaving an 0-2 pitch in the heart of the plate to David Dejesus, who lifted a solo homer just over the wall in right. Three batters later, Billy Butler made 3-0 with a run-scoring single up the middle. Royals Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Zack Greinke hurls a pitch to the plate in Monday's 3-0 victory. Greinke pitched his second shutout in four starts while striking out 10 batters in the performance. The victory raised Kansas City's record to 15-11 on the season. ASSOCIATED PRESS MLB Surgery may keep Pena out for up to two months KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Royals shortstop Tony Pena Jr. will need surgery to repair his broken left hand. Pena broke his left hamate bone when he fouled a pitch off in the 10th inning against Minnesota on Saturday. He finished that at-bat, hit a flyball for the final out of the 11th with his left hand off the bat, then took a flip from second baseman Alberto Callaspo for a game-ending double play in the bottom half. Pena, who was placed on the DL on Sunday, will have surgery to remove the hook part of the hamate. Manager Trey Hillman announced the diagnosis before Kansas City's game against the Chicago White Sox on Monday night. He says Pena could be out from four weeks to two months, depending how it heals.

Pittsburgh Penguins center Sidney Crosby (87) scores past Washington Capitals goalie Simeon Varlamov (40) and defenseman Mike Green (52) during the second period of Game 2 Monday's second-round playoff game in Washington. The Capitals won 4-3 and lead the best-of-seven games series 2-0. BY JOSEPH WHITE Associated Press WASHINGTON — Alex Ovechkin got his first playoff hit trick. Sidney Crosby matched him, but his was too little, too late. Ovechkin broke open a tie game with a pair of goals less than 3 minutes apart in the third period Monday night, leading the Washington Capitals to a 4-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins and a 2-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Ovechkin followed a one-timer from the left circle on a power-play with 7.07 to play with a slap shot from between the circles with 4:38 remaining. Both times he celebrated by launching his body into the glass, the second time as red hats flooded the Verizon Center rink. Crosby did all the scoring for the Penguins to claim the NHL's postseason lead with eight, but it was Ovechkin who had the winning hand in the match of the league's marquee rivals with his fifth, sixth and seventh goals of the playoffs. Game 3 is Wednesday in Pittsburgh. Although they're in a two-game hole, historians of the Pittsburgh-Washington rivalry will say the Penguins have the Capitals right where they want them. From 1991-2001, the Capitals lost five series in which they led the Penguins, including 2-0 leads in 1992 and 1996. David Steckel, who had only eight goals in the regular season, got his second of the series and was the only goal-scorer not named Ovechkin or Crosby. Rookie playoff phenom Simeon Varlamov made 33 saves for the Capitals, including a pair of impressive stops during a 5-on-3 power play in the first period. Evgeni Malkin, who won the league's regular-season points title, failed to score a goal for the fifth straight game and committed the penalty that turned the momentum. At the very second the Capitals finished killing a penalty in the third period, Malkin was whistled for tripping with 7:11 remaining. Nicklas Backstrom won the ensuing faceoff, and the puck went from Mike Green to Ovechkin, who beat Marc-Andre Fleury to the stick side. Ovechkin's third goal made it 4-2. Crosby scored a power-play goal in the game's final minute after Fleury was pulled for an extra attacker. Only three hats sailed to the rink to celebrate his three-goal feat. There was no pretense of a loving relationship between the rivals. A physical first period included nine penalties and plenty of minitussles. Crosby bowled over Green while advancing with the puck in the first minute. The Capitals wasted a chance at a power play when Chris Clark decided to punch Kris Letang in the face after the whistle had stopped play for a Pittsburgh penalty. Ovechkin got sandwiched along the boards and was shoved around whenever possible; he and Chris Kunitz traded blows in period's final minute. An exchange between Washington's Alexander Semin and Pittsburgh's Brooks Orpk resulted in three penalties — two of them on Semin. The resulting power play produced the game's first goal, when Crosby poked in a rebound under Varlamov's left pad following Sergei Gonchar's shot from the blue line. The goal broke a four-game, 0-for-17 drought for the Penguins' power play. More rough stuff! Letang tackled Steckel from behind during a breakaway, giving the Capitals a power play. They didn't score, but Letang nearly did when he popped out of the box and pounced on a long rebound for a breakaway that was denied by Varlamov. The Penguins had 46 seconds of a 5-on-3 power play late in the period, but Varlamov, whose dexterous, how-did-he-do that save on Crosby was the highlight of Game 1, made big back-to-back stops. He got his left pad on Crosby's shot. then punched his glove straight up to knock away Gonchar's rebound attempt. The game was more disciplined in the second and third periods, with fewer penalties and more goals. The Capitals tied the game early in the second on a Russian right-to-middle-to-left sequence. Sergei Fedorov spun and fed Viktor Kozlov, who moved the puck over to Ovechkin, one time-led his shot from the left circle. The Penguins grabbed the lead back when Crosby, again perched to the crease, got his stick to a multi-deflected pass from Kunitz. The puck ping-ponged off Green and Varlamov before Crosby knocked it in. AMERICAN LEAGUE CUDDYER 5 ASSOCIATED PRESS Detroit Tigers catcher Gerald Laird shows the ball to the home plate umpire after tagging out Minnesota Twins' Michael Cuddyer (5) in the seventh inning Monday in Detroit. The Twins beat the Tigers 7-2. After six losses Orioles emerge with 8-4 victory ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.,—Nick Markakis hit a three-run-homer and Brian Roberts added a two-run shot to help the Orioles stop a six-game loss streak with a victory over the Rays. Markakis, after the first two Baltimore batters walked, made it 3-0 with his three-run shot off Scott Kazmir (3-3) in the first. He has a hit in 19 of his last 20 games, and has reached base safely in 35 straight games, which is the longest active streak in the majors. After Aubrey Huff had a sacrifice fly and Ty Wigginton hit an RBI double off reliever Joe Nelson in the seventh, Roberts extended the Orioles' advantage to 8-4 on his eighth-inning homer. Reliever Danys Baez (2-1) threw two scoreless innings for the win. TWINS 7, TIGERS 2 DETROIT—Francisco Liriano had a season-high nine strikeouts and Michael Cuddyer hit a two-run triple in a five-run seventh, leading the Twins to a win over the Tigers. Liriano (1-4) allowed four hits, matching a season low, and two runs over 7 1-3 innings to snap his five-game skid dating to last season. Liriano's outing was reminiscent of his outstanding rookie year. He was 12-3 with a 2.16 ERA in 2006 before pain in his left elbow ended his season, led to Tommy John surgery that sidelined him for 2007 and limited him to 14 games last year. Edwin Jackson (1-2) worked six-plus innings for Detroit, setting season highs with five earned runs and seven strikeouts. Miguel Cabrera homered for the Tigers.

Howard scored 16 points and grabbed 22 rebounds in the 95-90 victory, which gave Orlando an early 1-0 lead in the series. BOSTON — Dwight Howard returned from his one-game suspension to get 16 points and 22 rebounds Monday night and help the Orlando Magic hold off the late-charging Boston Celtics 95-90 in the opener of the Eastern Conference semifinals. The Magic opened a 28-point lead early in the second half before Boston cut the deficit to 91-87 in the final two minutes. The Celtics had several chances to come within one possession — the best Ray Allen's three-pointer that rimmed out with 43 seconds left. "We got complacent as a team, stopped doing what we did to get the lead and against a good Celtics team you can't do that," Howard said. "I'm not happy with the way we ended the game." Paul Pierce made a three-pointer with 6.6 seconds left to make it a three-point game, but J.J. Redick went 4-for-4 from the line in the last 14 seconds to ice it. ASSOCIATED PRESS Pierce scored 16 of his 23 points in the second half and Rajon Rondo had 14 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists. The Celtics used a 15-4 run to get the lead within 20 points and came as close as 74-60 near the end of the third quarter. Mickael Pietrus hit a three-pointer to make it 81-64, then Boston scored seven straight points, getting a jumper from Pierce, a three-pointer off a jump ball from Eddie House and then Rondo's steal and dunk to It was the first time the crowd got back into it since the opening quarter. make it a 10-point game.

James claimed the league MVP on Monday, receiving 109 of a possible 121 first-place votes to easily outdistance Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers. James totaled 1,172 points in balloting by media members in the U.S. and Canada. The Cavaliers player received 109 out of 121 possible votes AKRON, Ohio — Unstoppable at both ends of the floor this season, LeBron James claimed the league MVP on Monday, receiving the award in the high school gym where he first made his name. ASSOCIATED PRESS The Cleveland Cavaliers star won what some expected to be a close vote in a slam dunk. He received 109 of a possible 121 first-place votes to easily outdistance Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers. James totaled 1,172 points in balloting by media members in the U.S. and Canada. Bryant, last year's winner, got two first-place votes and finished with 698 points. Miami guard Dwyane Wade was third with 680 points and was named first on seven ballots. Orlando center Dwight Howard (328) was fourth followed by New Orleans guard Chris Paul (192). James is the first Cavaliers player to win the award. He "Individual accolades come when teams success happens." averaged 28.4 points, 7.6 rebounds and 7.2 assists this season, his sixth as a pro. He also finished second in voting for defensive player of the year, making him perhaps the league's most dominant two-way player since Michael Jordan. "You look at the guys who have won this award — Michael Jordan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Dr. J, Oscar Robertson. All these guys laid down the path for guys like myself and Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul, Dwight Howard and Dwyane Wade to name a few," James said in accepting the award at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School. "Individual accolades come when team success happens," James said. "You look at those 14 guys over there, I got the award because of them. They put in the work." James credited his teammates, who were present with coach Mike Brown to see him accept the award, for raising their games in the Cavaliers' best season ever. At 24 years, 106 days on the final day of the regular season, James is the youngest player to win the award since Moses Malone (24 years, 16 days) in 1978-79. Wes Unseld was 23 when he won it in 1968-69. "I'm 24 years old. To be up here and win this MVP award, I never thought it would happen this fast. I always dreamed about celebrating championships with teammates," James said. LEBRON JAMES Cavaliers player "It takes a lot of sweat," said Cleveland general manager Danny Ferry. "I'm sure he did a lot of sweating right here. I've been for- janes vied all season for MVP honors with Bryant and Wade. The three played on the U.S. gold medalist Olympic team last summer and seemed to upstage each other nightly. tunate enough to watch him sweat the past four years when no one else was around. I just want to acknowledge that and give it a round of applause." James vied all sea- "He deserved it." Wade said. "I said all year, I thought LeBron was the MVP of this league. He's a guy who every year is going to be in that conversation. ... He showed it all year, especially with his team's success." He started a career-high 81 games and set personal bests in field-goal (49) and free-throw (79) percentages as well as blocks (93). James became the second player to post five straight seasons of at least 27 points, six rebounds Focused right from the start, the 6-foot-8, 250-pound James sharpened his already formidable skills this season. and six assists. The other is Oscar Robertson, whose extraordinarily versatile game is the one to which James' is most often compared. James nearly averaged a triple-double — 32 points, 11.3 rebounds and 7.5 assists — as the top-seeded Cavaliers breezed through the first round of the playoffs, sweeping the Detroit Pistons in four games. Cleveland will host the Atlanta Hawks in Game 1 on Tuesday. It's no surprise James would select his high school for the ceremony. It's where he won three state basketball championships and where he burst onto the national scene, becoming a Sports Illustrated cover subject at just 17 years old. He announced plans to skip college in the Fighting Irish's quaint gym and recently filmed a "60 Minutes" interview there, where his retired No. 23 jersey hangs on a wall. A few days after the Cavaliers were eliminated in last year's Eastern Conference semifinals, losing a Game 7 in Boston, James got back in the gym. Despite scoring 45 points in the finale, James didn't feel he had done enough to get his team past the Celtics. So he went to work. He spent endless hours at the Cavaliers' training facility working on his jump shot, which has never looked better or been more accurate. He practiced finishing at the rim with his left hand, making him nearly impossible to stop inside. James also began lifting weights like never before, adding muscle to his considerable frame. Then, once he began working out with the Olympic team, James set out to refine his defensive game and became an elite stopper, often guarding the other team's best player — regardless of position. In a league of remarkable athletes, James, with his package of power and speed, may well stand alone. HORSE RACING Derby winner to run in Preakness ASSOCIATED PRESS BALTIMORE — Mine That Bird is headed to the Preakness. "I've never been to Baltimore, but it looks like I won't be able to say that in a few days." trainer Bennie Woollev Jr. said Monday. The trainer of the gelding who won the Kentucky Derby at 50-1 odds said his horse will run in the May 16 Preakness at Pimlico, the second leg of the Triple Crown. Woolley said the horse will remain at Churchill Downs in Louisville at least until May 12 before shipping to Baltimore. He jogged a mile at Churchill on Monday morning and will have light jogs each of the next two days. Woolley said there are no plans for the horse to have a full workout before the Preakness. Mine That Bird, ridden by Calvin Borel, won the Derby by 6% lengths over Pioneerof the Nile — the largest margin of victory since Assault in 1946. On Sunday, a day after the big upset, Woolley said there’s “no obligation” to go to the Prekness and added: "You've got to do what's best for the horse and the horse has got to come first." And the horse has given every indication he came out of the race in good order. "The Triple Crown is good for racing, and without the Derby winner, there is no chance to have one," he said. The last Derby winner to skip the Preakness was an injured Grindstone in 1996. The last healthy Derby winner to miss it was Spend A Buck in 1985. Other Derby horses expected to take on Mine That Bird are fourth-place finisher Papa Clem and possibly Pioneerof the Nile, third-space Musket Man, Join in the Dance, which finished seventh, and General Quarters, which finished tenth. Potential newcomers include Delta Jackpot winner Big Drama, Withers winner Mr. Fantasy, Take the Points and Miner's Escape. The big question, of course, is whether Mine That Bird can win the Preakness and set up a Triple Crown attempt in the Belmont The Preakness is limited to 14 starters. Stakes on June 6. The last Triple Crown winner was Affirmed in 1978. Borel said he'll be more than happy to take a shot at the historic milestone. "He's plenty of horse," he said. Pioneerof the Nile's trainer Bob Baffert had some advice for Woolley and owners Mark Allen and Leonard Blach on Sunday; if Mine That Bird is OK, go for it. "This is a dream of a lifetime," Baffert said. "I hope he comes out of it well and they go and maybe he's for real. We're going to find out." Last year, Big Brown won the Derby and the Preakness, but finished last in the Belmont after being pulled up on the turn for home.

SCIENCE 10A THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1904 AUGUST 1942 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, MAY 6, 2009 WWW.KANSAN.COM ALCOHOL VOLUME 120 ISSUE 151 Amnesty, parent notification in new policy BY BRIANNE PFANNENSTIEL bpfannenstiel@kansan.com The University announced a new alcohol policy Tuesday that allows for parental notification, mandates an online alcohol assessment for freshmen and encourages students to seek help in emergencies. University officials announced the changes in an e-mail sent to all students by Provost Richard Lariviere Tuesday morning. The changes come on the heels of two alcohol-related student deaths during the past two months. "Some will say KU was late to the game, but we had our policies and we re-evaluated, and we think we're doing everything possible," said Marlesa Roney, vice provost of Student Success. AMNESTY The first change institutes an amnesty policy, which will protect from punishment any underage student who seeks immediate medical assistance in alcohol-related emergencies. Lariviere said in the e-mail that this change was made after students said they were reluctant to get help for alcohol-related health issues because they feared getting themselves or their campus housing organizations in trouble. "While that should never stop you from getting help for a friend in trouble, eliminating the threat of being written up takes away that reason to not seek help." Lariviere said. Many schools began implementing similar systems after Cornell University pioneered the idea with its "Good Samaritan" policy in 2002. According to a 2006 study in the International Journal of Drug Policy, the number of Cornell students who called for help in alcohol-related emergencies doubled after the policy was created, though alcohol abuse rates remained relatively constant. PARENTAL NOTIFICATION KU officials will now be able to notify the parents of underage students who are caught violating alcohol or drug policy on campus. The policy goes into effect immediately. Roney said the intent was not to punish students, rather to educate them. "It's about helping students," she said. "We want to make sure SEE POLICY ON PAGE 4A SMOKY SKIES Fired up about coal Lawrence’s coal-fired plant contributes to high asthma rates, river pollution BY AMANDA THOMPSON athompson@kansan.com Chaz Steele has lived in Lawrence his whole life. A 14-year sufferer of asthma, Steele, Lawrence senior, has no doubt in his mind that living near Lawrence's coalfired plant has contributed to his asthma struggle. In recent years, Douglas County has experienced asthma rates far above the national average. That's not surprising to local doctors and national experts, who say that coal-fired plants like the one in Lawrence create levels of air and water pollution that are bad for health. "When you have a coal plant in your neighborhood, you're going to have an increased number of people with asthma, and they will have worse problems more often," said Ronald Weiner, a doctor who has been treating asthma patients in Lawrence for 25 years. Westar Energy's coal-fired plant, known as the Lawrence Energy Center (LEC), is one of the dirtiest in the country, according to a 2007 report by the Environmental Integrity Project, a nonprofit organization formed by former U.S. Environmental Protection Agency attorneys. The report ranked the LEC as the 12th dirtiest coalfired plant out of the nation's 378 largest, in part because of heavy emissions of carbon dioxide and other pollutants known as greenhouse gases. KANSAS TO GET ANOTHER PLANT After two years of debate, a decision has been reached about proposed coal plants in Holcomb. Gov. Mark Parkinson and Sunflower Energy came to an agreement Monday to build one 895-megawatt coal-fired plant. Sunflower Energy's original proposal was for Holcomb to be the home for two 700-megawatt coal-fired plants. In 2007, secretary for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment rejected the original proposal because of concerns about pollutant emissions. Former Gov. Kathleen Sebelius also opposed the plants and vetoed their approval four times during her tenure. But last week Sebellius was sworn in as secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, leaving the governor position to Parkinson. Amanda Thompson Photo by Chance Dibben/KANSAN ENTERTAINMENT I'll take KU student on Jeopardy! for 100, Alex SEE COAL PLANT ON PAGE 6A BY JENNIFER TORLINE jtorline@kansan.com Mark Petterson competed in his own Border Showdown on Monday's episode of the "Jeopardy!" College Championship tournament. Petterson, Prairie Village senior, tried to outsmart Laura Myers from the University of Missouri and Jennifer Duann from Ohio State University for a chance to make it to the tournament's semi-final and final rounds next week where there is a $100,000 grand prize. Petterson is the first KU student to appear on the show. After answering questions about the Big 12 and Google, Petterson took second place with $16,200. Myers earned $21,600 and took first place in that episode — something that Petterson attributed to her quick buzzer-clicking skills. "It's really easy to play at home, but you have three seconds to read the question to decide if you know the answer and then to get your self to buzz in before the other contestants, which is difficult in itself," Petterson, a creative writing major, said. To help Petterson celebrate his "Jeopardy!" appearance, more than 20 family members and friends gathered at the Red Lyon Tavern downtown on Monday to watch the show and cheer him on. Joshua Jacobs, Petterson's roommate and a "Lord of the Rings" fan, was thrilled when Petterson correctly answered a question about Shadowfax, the character Gandalf's horse.

Freed activists have bails revoked by judge HARARE, Zimbabwe — A judge revoked the bail of a prominent Zimbabwean rights activist and 17 other suspects Tuesday after prosecutors formally charged them in a case that has been widely denounced as a sham. Activist Jestina Mukoko appeared stunned as she heard the ruling from the dock and stared at Harare Magistrate Catherine Chimanda as her supporters burst into tears.

U. S. District Judge Jack Camp sentenced Oscar Reynoso, 31, to 46 months in federal prison, with five years supervised release to follow. Reynoso is a legal resident who lived in Rhode Island but will face deportation once he is released, said U.S. Attorney David Nahmias.

ODD NEWS Authorities at public beach ready for crowds REVERE, Mass. — City councilors just outside Boston said police should be better prepared for large crowds descending on a local beach after thousands of students skipped school and headed there. Authorities were caught off guard April 28 when as many as 4,000 teenagers playing hooky hopped on trains and descended on Revere Beach, considered the country's oldest public beach. The temperature hit a record 93 degrees that day. Local, state and transit police said they reacted as quickly as possible. But traffic was tied up on nearby streets for much of the day. Six people were arrested, and one injury was reported. Associated Press CONTACT US Tell us your news.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, MAY 6, 2009 NEWS 3A LIFESTYLE Both genders mesh at home Some students prefer to live with members of the opposite sex BY KAYLA REGAN kregan@kansan.com Cohabitation isn't just for people in romantic relationships anymore, says John Curtis, a former family and marriage counselor and author of "Happily Un-Married: Living Together and Loving it." May is National Cohabitation Month. Although some students live with the opposite gender for romantic reasons, others cohabitate because it's convenient or because they want to live with their best friend. According to Curtis, cohabitation is founded in a "widely diverse" set of reasons. From his research on relationships, Omri Gillath, assistant professor of psychology, said people should consider certain factors before they decided cohabitation was right for them. "I think two people's set of preferences are more important than gender," Gillath said. "It's also different if you're dating someone else, whether or not your attracted to each other, and how experienced you are living outside of your house plays into it." Vanessa Green, Perdonza junior, met her roommate, Jordan Gard. sitting next to him in class freshman year. "I told him that he smelled good," Green said. "He looked at me and thought I was a freak." Green said Gard was more laid back than most of the girls she knew, and it definitely made a difference in their living situation. "I never want to move," Green said. "I know what makes him mad and he knows what makes me mad. With him being a guy he doesn't hold grudges, and we don't stay mad at each other." Green said she was cleaner than he was, but they both performed chores and picked up messes without having to talk to each other about it. Although they know everything about each other, she said he still did things she did not understand. She said they had never been interested in each other romantically but had become best friends. Green said another perk of living with Gard was when his attractive guy friends visited. Gillath said having a roommate whom you aren't dating could increase a person's chances of finding a partner. Mallory Tangeman, Wichita junior, said she and her other female roommate met guys when they had a male roommate. They had more fun watching his romantic pursuits unfold. "We saw him hanging out with girls and then calling his ex-girlfriend and she had no idea." Tangman said. "It was just funny to both of us because we don't have brothers and so neither of us had ever lived with a guy before." Tangman said her other roommate had a hard time with their male roommate leaving the toilet seat but eventually learned to live with it. Although he didn't clean much, Tangman said she didn't attribute it to his gender. Tangeman said he never caused drama and was more easy-going than most girls, and they were sad to see him leave in January. She said some things were easier now that she had all girl roommates again. "I've lived with messier girls before." Tangeman said. "It is nice to not have to worry about walking around the house in a towel or anything." Tangeman said. - Edited by Chris Horn ROCORN MUSEUM OF PHOTOGRAPHY Officials stop recommending schools to close for swine flu HEALTH ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS Students head back to school Tuesday morning at Rocori Middle School in Cold Spring, Minn., after the school closed last week due to a case of swine flu. Hundreds of schools have closed and U.S. health officials said the virus had turned out to be milder than feared. ATLANTA — U.S. health officials are no longer recommending that schools close if students come down with swine flu, the government said Tuesday. Last week, schools were advised to shut down for about two weeks if there were suspected cases of swine flu. Hundreds of schools around the country have followed the government's guidance and closed schools, giving students an unexpected vacation and leaving parents scrambling for child care. "We no longer feel that school closure is warranted," said Dr. Richard Besser, acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said the swine flu virus had turned out to be milder than feared and the government decided to change its advice. So far, the virus has not proved to be more infectious or deadly than the seasonal flu. As the threat seemed to diminish health officials also considered the The CDC said parents should still make sure to keep sick children with flulike symptoms at home for seven days. problems the closings were creating for parents, Besser said. Officials were hearing about children getting dropped off at libraries, or parents who couldn't take sick leave to care for their children. "The downsides of school closure start to outweigh the benefits." Besser said. The change in guidance was made in consultation with the White House and other officials, Besser and others said. Tuesday for flu-related reasons in 24 states and the District of Columbia, according to the Education Department. In total, these schools enroll approximately 468,000 students on a typical day. 55 million students attend about 100,000 schools in the U.S. An estimated 726 public and nonpublic schools were closed The number of confirmed swine flu cases in the United States is now over 400, with hundreds more probable cases. The CDC knows of 35 swine flu related hospitalizations and one death, a Mexican toddler who died in Texas. GRADUATION Students continue schools tradition with banners Thirteen students will carry their school banners as they lead the 2009 graduating class through the Campanile and down the hill to the commencement ceremony May 17. One student from each of the University's 12 professional schools and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences were selected by administration and faculty to carry the banners as part of a 101-year-old tradition "The deans and the faculty pull together a list of outstanding students and faculty-nominated ones."Toni Dixon, director of communications for the School of Business, said. "They look for students who have been very involved in the school, clubs and activities." Bethany Shelton, Overland Park graduate student, will carry the banner for the School of Law and said she was a little nervous. "I think it'll be exciting and a little intimidating," Shelton said. "I'm a bit klutzy so I hope I don't trip." Joe Isaac, Wichita senior, found out about a month ago that he had been selected to carry the School of Business banner. "I didn't know much about it but as I read through the letter, I thought it was pretty cool and I realized it was a pretty big privilege," Isaac said. "It's going to be kind of weird not being able to sit with my friends, but it'll be a big honor to be on stage with the other banner carriers and deans." A. J. Naeger, Lawrence senior and nontraditional student, said his wife and son would be in the audience as he carried the banner for the School of Architecture. "I'm not nervous," Naeger said.

College Championship that aired this week. Petterson earned $5,000 for being selected, and students can watch Friday to learn whether he qualified for the semifinals. JEOPARDY (CONTINUED FROM 1A) said Petterson was someone who hoarded all sorts of knowledge and tried to be well-versed in everything. "I played Trivial Pursuit with him this past year and, basically, he knew everything on every card," she said. While Petterson does not get to keep all of the $16,200, he did earn $5,000 for being one of the 15 students chosen to participate in the tournament. He still has a chance to make it to next week's semi-finals. The "leepardy!" College Championship is slightly different from the regular game show. Each day this week three students from colleges across the county compete against each other. The winners of each game as well as the next four highest money earners will go to the semi-final and final matches next week. SIBLING RIVALRY FOR 200 But long before Petterson made his "Jeopardy!" debut he had to audition for the show. The process of making it onto "Jeopardy!" began as a contest last year between Petterson and his brother, Joel, Prairie Village freshman. The two took the show's preliminary online quiz to see who could get the higher score. Nearly 10,000 students nationwide took the test, said Maggie Speak, "Jeopardv" contest coordinator. Both brothers received high enough scores to be invited to Chicago in October for an in-person audition where each had to play a pretend game of "Jeopardy!" and do a 30-second video interview. Several months later Petterson received a phone call from a producer of "topardy!" The phone call came at an inopportune time — Petterson was sitting in the emergency room with a bloody chin. A ladder had hit him in the face when he was painting houses earlier that afternoon. "The ironic thing was that I was actually too poor to pay for stitches, so they super glued my chin together," Petterson said. The producer told Petterson that he was one of the students chosen to appear on the 21st "Jeopardy!" College Championship. Petterson thought the call was a prank. Fortunately for Petterson, the call wasn't a prank, and he soon found himself flying to Los Angeles to spend a week filming the show. "He's a little bit different than what you would consider a 'leopardy' contestant," Speak said. "He's got an air of a rock and roller about him." Speak described Peterson as "surprise game player"; a contestant who plays quietly and then makes big moves. But Peterson, a self-proclaimed "slacker," said he has a knack for remembering facts. "I don't know how I've accumulated these random bits of knowledge," Petterson said. "I don't read the dictionary or encyclopedia." He's already bought tickets to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa with his prize money and hopes that next time he has to go to the emergency room, he can avoid the glue. "Hopefully, I'll win some money and the next time I can get my face repaired correctly," Petterson said. Edited by Chris Hickerson Congratulations Class of 2009!

"I know it will save lives and I only wish they had been in place before, but this is exactly what needed to be done," Wren said in an e-mail. "There is no doubt this will save lives." Roney said that she expected many students to react negatively to the parental notification policy and that those reactions probably factored into the reason the policy had not been addressed before. "I don't really like it at all," Bea Kilat, Salina freshman and Lewis Hall resident, said of the changes. "I think the University should be doing something, but I just don't completely agree with my records being released to my parents without me being able to sign a release form or something like that." Kilat said she thought she should have more control over her records because she was a legal adult. Another change would require freshmen such as Kilat to complete a mandatory online alcohol assessment within the first six weeks of class. The change will go into effect for the fall semester. ONLINE ASSESSMENT The University has formed the Community Alcohol Coalition to continue to assess alcohol use on campus and to provide a community approach to the problem. "I don't know how much more it'll do because a lot of it falls to the parents?" Patyk said. "I think the University's doing all they can, especially because it's an institution not a parent. At a certain point, you're an adult. The University can't watch every single move every 40,000 students make. It's not feasible." The coalition includes Mason Heilman, Lawrence junior and student body president; the chief of Lawrence Police, a representative of the Lawrence Bar Owner's Association, Roney, and athletics director Lew Perkins. Jori Krenzel, Chanute freshman, said she didn't know whether the policy changes would stop people from drinking, but she said she would take advantage of the new ammesty policy. would not be enough to curtail abusive drinking on campus. She said she thought more could be done to help students be better aware of alcohol poisoning and how to deal with it. Roney said more new policies and changes were expected in the coming weeks and months. "I think all these policies are good, but I think campus should do more programs to help students identify alcohol poisoning," Krenzel said. She said she wished the University provided more proactive programming to inform students about how to help friends who show signs of alcohol poisoning. Stephanie Patyk, Wichita junior, who worked with the University as part of an alcohol task force last year, said she thought that the policy changes, while an improvement, Alexandra Garry contributed to the reporting of this story. STATE — Edited by Liz Schubauer Associated Press Overdose case decision appealed BY ROXANA HEGEMAN WICHITA — Prosecutors are asking an appellate court to overrule a federal judge and allow them to present evidence linking a Kansas clinic to all 59 overdose deaths mentioned in an indictment against a doctor and his wife, rather than limiting the case to just four deaths. A three-judge panel of the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver will hear arguments Wednesday in the case of Dr. Stephen Schneider and his wife, Linda. The Haysville couple was arrested in December 2007 after a grand jury returned a 34-count indictment alleging they wrongfully prescribed drugs and overbilled for medical services. The indictment alleges the couple's actions resulted in numerous overdoses, including 21 deaths specifically charged in four of the counts. Prosecutors also claim an additional 38 patients of the clinic died from overdoses. In his January ruling, U.S. District Judge Monti Belot did not question the validity of the evidence. Instead, he questioned the need to present that much information and said doing so would just confuse the jury. He also said the trial would go on forever with no useful purpose if every death were included. The Schneiders content they are innocent and that the federal government is improperly interfering in the doctor-patient relationship. In their appeal, prosecutors argued that the judge exceeded his authority by amending an indictment that had been returned by a grand jury. Belot also limited each side to just 10 days of testimony. The Justice Department contends that time limit is unreasonable, given the complexity of the case. Defense attorneys argued the judge's decision was proper, noting the defendants still face the same penalty of 20 years to life if convicted of a single death. "Trial courts have the authority — indeed the duty — to exclude evidence that is confusing, misleading and time consuming" the defense wrote. However, defense attorneys have questioned the scientific reliability of the testimony expected from some of the government's expert witnesses and will ask the appeals panel to prevent those people from testifying.

It was two months ago that Ashley, a KU junior who asked that her last name not be used, visited her gynecologist for a pap smear. Ashley had been getting her annual pap smear since her senior year of high school and each sample had returned from the lab free of irregular results. Vaccines protecting men from HPV are not available yet, but research is being conducted. A person can have HPV for years without noticing any health problems. Because most men and women don't realize they have HPV, they unknowingly pass it on. There is no treatment for HPV. Men with HPV are at risk for genital warts, perilile cancer and anal cancer. Men who have HPV and have healthy immune systems do not usually have health problems. "That was the scariest phone call I have ever gotten," she said. Source: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention She waited for the same phone call she had received for four years, which would tell her everything was normal. But this year she answered the phone and heard different results: She had tested positive for human papillomavirus. Had she received the Gardasil vaccine before becoming sexually active, Ashley might never have gotten the phone call. Ashley said her diagnosis came as a shock to both her and her boyfriend. He was her first partner, but like most men who are carriers, he was unaware he was a carrier and was uninformed about the virus. Kathy Guth, nurse practitioner in the Watkins Memorial Health Center's gynecology department, said she frequently visited with students who contracted HPV. Guth said she diagnosed an average of four to five KU students with HPV every week. "I've seen a Gardasil commercial but I didn't know what HPV was," Ashley said. She said she didn't pay much attention to the commercials because she didn't think HPV would ever affect her. THE VACCINE Gardasil, a three-part vaccine designed to prevent HPV and cervical cancer, was introduced to the pharmaceutical market in 2006. Gardasil protects women from four different types of HPV; types 16 and 17, which cause 70 percent of cervical cancer cases; and types 6 and 11, which cause 90 percent of genital wart cases. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection. More than 40 different strains of HPV affect men and women. Ashley said her doctor informed her she had contracted a pre-cancerous strain of the virus. Guth said women were more likely to notice the infection but that men contracted the infection just as often. Ashley said she told her mother that she had HPV, but her mother asked her not to tell her father. "I don't want him to think his little girl is having sex," Ashley said, remembering her mother's reaction. Renee Carey, Lawrence native and mother of an 11-year-old girl, isn't sure she'll have her daughter vaccinated, though. "I don't understand why everyone is jumping on the bandwagon," she said. "It's just a big pharmaceutical campaign." Carey said that she didn't see a reason to push more vaccines on her daughter and that she was Physicians at Watkins, however, say the vaccine has been more successful than they anticipated. Patricia Denning, senior staff physician, said she decided to have her daughter vaccinated in middle school because she trusted the vaccine. leery that there was not enough evidence to support the vaccine's effectiveness. "I have encouraged both of my daughters to get vaccinated," Beth Sakamura, a Lawrence nurse, said. Though Sakamura's daughters are adults, she said she thought vaccinating young girls was a good idea. The Gardasil vaccine is available for women between the ages of 9 and 26. THE COST Denning said Watkins offered health care to students at minimal costs, but coverage of the vaccine depends on individual health care insurance. "It's quite costly," said Lisa Horn, communications director at the Lawrence Douglas County Health Department. Horn said the health department had recently stopped offering the vaccine because of state budget cuts. Horn said the vaccine had cost patients $143 per shot and was too expensive to keep in stock. "Any time there is a new product, insurance companies are hesitant to cover it." Denning said. Along with the price tag, Guth said some patients had expressed concerns about whether the vaccine was effective and wondered whether there were any side effects. Gardasil lists a number of possible side effects including pain on site of injection, headache, fever, nausea and fainting. The CDC reported that one in 60 patients would likely experience a mild fever, but nothing that wouldn't go away on its own. POSSIBLE EFFECTS Denning said there were always risks involved when receiving a vaccine because each patient reacted differently. She has seen an occasional allergic reaction and a patient faint, but she said side effects had not occurred more frequently than with other vaccines. Denning said that Watkins had been one of 17 test sites for the vaccine six years before it was approved by the FDA and that the health center had seen minimal negative reactions. Courtney Jerome, Austin, Texas, junior, received the vaccine last year and didn't notice any side effects aside from a burning sensation on the site of the injection. Ashley said she recently started getting the Gardasil vaccine so she wouldn't contract other strains of the HPV virus. Since testing positive for HPV, Ashley has had to get a pap smear twice a year and will have to keep doing so until two pap smears come back normal. "It's just awful." Ashley said. "When you get HPV, it's a waiting game." Edited by Liz Schubauer NATIONAL Bush lawyers may face professional sanctions BY DEVLIN BARRETT Associated Press WASHINGTON Bush administration lawyers who approved harsh interrogation techniques of terror suspects should not face criminal charges, Justice Department investigators said in a draft report that recommended two of the three attorneys face possible professional sanctions. The recommendations come after an Obama administration decision last month to make public legal memos authorizing the use of harsh interrogation methods but not to prosecute CIA interrogators who followed advice outlined in the memos. That decision angered conservatives who accused President Barack Obama of selling out the CIA for releasing the memos, and liberals who thought he was being too forgiving of practices they — and Obama — call torture. The president's rhetoric, if not actual policy, shifted on the matter as the political fallout intensified. Officials conducting the internal Justice Department inquiry into the lawyers who wrote those memos have recommended referring two of the three lawyers — John Yoo and Jay Bybee — to state bar associations for possible disciplinary action, according to a person familiar with the inquiry. The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity, was not authorized to discuss the inquiry. The person noted that the investigative report was still in draft form and subject to revisions. Attorney General Eric Holder also may make his own determination about what steps to take once the report has been finalized. The inquiry has become a politically loaded guessing game, with some advocating criminal charges against the lawyers and others urging that the matter be dropped. In a letter to two senators, the Justice Department said a key deadline in the inquiry expired Monday, signaling that most of the work on the matter was completed. The letter does not mention the possibility of criminal charges, nor does it name the lawyers under scrutiny. The letter did not indicate what the findings of the final report would be. Bybee, Yoo and Steven Bradbury worked in the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel and played key roles in crafting the legal justification for techniques critics call torture. The memos were written as the Bush administration grappled with the fear and uncertainty following the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. Over the years that followed, lawyers re-examined and rewrote much of the legal advice. Last month, the Obama administration released four of the long-secret memos about treatment of terror suspects in which lawyers authorized methods including waterboarding, throwing subjects against a wall and forced nudity. In releasing the documents, Obama declared CIA interrogators who followed the memos would not be prosecuted. Obama left it to Holder to decide whether those who authorized or approved the methods should face charges.

Those would come in the form of recommendations to state bar associations, where the most severe possible punishment is disbarment. NATIONAL Souter speaks at conference BY MARK SHERMAN Associated Press The Supreme Court Justice bid emotional farewell to lawyers, judges PHILADELPHIA — Supreme Court Justice David Souter, momentarily choked with emotion, bid an affectionate farewell Tuesday to judges and lawyers he has worked with for nearly two decades. Souter spoke at an annual conference of judges and lawyers from Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. He handles matters that come to the Supreme Court from those states. The 69-year-old announced last Friday that he would retire when the court finished its work for the summer and return to his home in New Hampshire. Momentarily dropping his New England reserve, the justice appeared to choke up as he recalled asking his predecessor, William Brennan, if he wanted to send a message to the same group when Souter was preparing to attend his first conference in Teaneck, N.J. ute talk, and was introduced by Chief Judge Anthony J. Scirica of the Philadelphia-based 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals as a "beloved member of the 3rd Circuit family" Souter said he had not intended for the news of his retirement to break before Tuesday's event. "I swear to you I was not the leak," he said. "Just give them my love, David. Just give them my love," Souter remembered. "That goes for me, too." Still, he said, "It's impossible not to be doing a mental reckoning of some sort." He received sustained standing ovations before and after his 15-min- He gave a lighthearted account of the first conference after he joined the court in 1990, noting that he apparently was viewed with some suspicion by the 3rd Circuit. Among the reading material he was given when he arrived at that first constitution was a copy of the Constitution Souter thanked Scirica for not including the Constitution for this visit. 1960 Souter told the conference that members of the legal profession should take satisfaction in doing "something worth doing" and trying "to do it well." "He may have assumed that it's too late now." Souter said. He did not permit cameras or audio recordings at his speech. said President Barack Obama would not be announcing his choice to replace Souter this week. Supreme Court Justice David Souter speaks during a dedication ceremony at the New Hampshire State Supreme Courthouse in Concord, N.H., on July 9. Souter bid farewell in a speech Tuesday to the judges and lawyers he has worked with in Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. He had worked with them for nearly two decades. Presidential spokesman Robert Gibbs ruled out that timeframe when asked about published comments from Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Uttah, who spoke to Obama on Monday and said he expected an announcement this week. In Washington, the White House On Capitol Hill, Sen. Patrick Leahy, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said he had discussed possible nominees with Obama but would not name them. The Vermont Democrat said he wouldn't schedule the committee's confirmation hearings until a nominee was chosen, but he said he was certain that a new justice would be seated for the court's fall term. ASSOCIATED PRESS Leahy said he has advised Obama, "Make sure you talk to key Republicans, not just Democrats," including the Senate's top leaders, Democrat Harry Reid of Nevada and Republican Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. On Tuesday, Obama made a brief courtesy call to Sen. Jeffessions, R-Ala, now the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee. Sessions' spokesman, Stephen Boyd, said the content of their discussion would not be released.

Bill Eastman, director of environmental services for Westar, said he believes the rating is unfair because the EPA hasn't been regulating plants for greenhouse gases. But on April 17, the EPA announced that greenhouse gases endanger public health. The announcement was considered the agency's first step toward requiring limitations on these pollutants. While some residents voice their concern about the LEC's pollution in the air, others, such as Laura Calwell, with the Kansas River advocacy group Friends of the Kaw, worry about the plant's effects on local waterways. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment advises against eating fish from the Kansas River in areas around Lawrence because of severe pollution in the water. But others don't believe the plant's effects on Lawrence are significant. "The emissions that come out of that plant, very little of it falls in Douglas County," said Ted Boyle, president of the North Lawrence Neighborhood Improvement Association. "It's airborne and goes 50, 60 to 100 miles. It doesn't just come out of the stack and drop to the ground. There's probably less of it here than there is 100 miles from here." The LEC has been powering Lawrence homes and businesses and sending billowing clouds of smoke into the air from its three tall stacks since its opening in 1971. LAWRENCE ENERGY CENTER EMISSIONS "There is no question that anyone who spends any amount of time in Douglas County will be breathing air from the Lawrence Energy Center," said Karl Brooks, associate professor of history and environmental studies. The LEC emitted more than 8,300 tons of air pollutants in 2007,the latest figures available, according to KDHE emission summaries. Will Stone, engineer with KDHE, said these pollutants, considered criteria pollutants, are measured by the EPA because they are known to pose threats to human health and the overall health of the environment. The LEC is also responsible for emitting smaller quantities of toxins such as mercury and lead. Compared with the 4,600 tons of nitrogen oxide released by the plant in 2007, KDHE hazardous air pollution emission summaries showed that only .09 tons of mercury were released. However, this accounted for 100 percent of Lawrence facility mercury emissions. Mercury exposure can cause neurological damage, emotional changes, muscle weakness and respiratory failure, according to the EPA. Coal-fired plants are responsible for more than 40 percent of all human-caused mercury emissions, according to the EPA. The LEC emitted .17 tons of lead in 2007. Stone described the emissions as low, though KDHE emissions summaries show that the LEC was responsible for 100 percent of lead emissions in Lawrence in 2007. According to the EPA, areas near utilities such as coalfired plants have higher levels of lead in the air. Brooks said exposure to lead could lead to muscle, joint and developmental problems in humans. COAL EFFECTS IN OUR RIVER The LEC is situated on the south bank of the Kansas River, about five miles north of the University. Though eating fish from the river might not be something students need to do to get by, some residents rely on fish from the river as a cheap source of food. Calwell, river keeper for Friends of the Kaw, said mercury from the coal-fired plant comes into the river through the air. "A lot of times, mercury in the air settles down in the land and water and turns into a form of mercury that little tiny plants eat, and goes up the food chain and gets into the fish tissue." Calwell said. Calwell said that if enough mercury got into a person's system from eating too much contaminated fish, it could cause memory, behavioral and developmental problems. Don Huggins, senior scientist with the Kansas Biological Survey, said he didn't think there were too many serious threats to the river and its aquatic life because of the LEC. But he does see an issue of environmental justice when it comes to fishing. Huggins said some ethnic groups in Lawrence living at or below the poverty line were more likely than others to eat fish KARL BROOKS Associate professor "There is no question that anyone who spends any amount of time in Douglas County will be breathing air from the Lawrence Energy Center." ROCK CHAPS KANSAS V. KANSAS from the river because it was cheap. Calwell said Vietnamese and other Asian populations in Lawrence often fish from the river because fishing is a part of their culture. "I can go buy wild-caught Pacific salmon, where someone else may only have the option to catch from the river below Bowersock Dam," Huggins said. "We have to look at the needs of our most limited members of the community." Bowersock Dam, which is visible from the bridge over the Kansas River from Massachusetts Street, marks an important spot on the Chance Dibben/KANSAN Chaz Steele, Lawrence senior said he believed up downmind from the coalfired Lawrence Energy Center contributed to severe asthma attacks during his childhood. Now able to do things such as exercise and drive his motorcycle without breathing problems, Steele credits his improved respiratory health to settling in and moving away from his parents' home. 14 Chance Dibben/KANSAN The Bowersock Dam is located on the Kansas River at the Massachusetts Street bridge. Because of dangerous chemicals such as mercury and chlorinated biphenyls, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment advised residents against consuming bottom-feeding fish below the Bowersock Dam. river. The KDHE recently released a 2009 fish advisory, which warned residents about what fish from the river were safe to eat. The advisory recommended that no one eat bottom-feeding fish, including catfish and sturgeons, from below the Bowersock Dam downstream to Eudora because of COAL EFFECTS IN OUR AIR health risks involved with mercury and polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs. PCBs are known carcinogens and can cause adverse health effects similar to those of mercury. Levels of these contaminants in the river are considered too high for safe fish consumption. Carol Ramm, registered respiratory therapist with the American Lung Association, said communities situated near coal-fired power plants have higher incidences of respiratory illnesses such as asthma than communities without the pollution associated with coal-fired plants. Studies show the asthma incident rate in Douglas County is more than twice that of the national average. According to the 2006 National Health Interview Survey, about 7 percent of adults in the U.S. have asthma. According to a 2006 to 2007 Kansas Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, nearly 15 percent of adults in Douglas County currently have asthma or have had asthma in their lifetime. Weiner, who practices at Asthma Allergy and Rheumatology Associates, 346 Maine St., said living near a coal-fired plant had more negative effects on children, the elderly and those who already have asthma, but negative repercussions were not limited to those groups. He said he expected the plant to have negative effects on lung health for all Lawrence residents. Moving wasn't an option for Chaz Steele, who grew up in Lawrence. Steele has dealt with asthma for most of his life and is familiar with the tightening feeling in his chest. "But aside from wearing a mask to filter out stuff in the air, I don't know what other things people could do," Weiner said. "It's either that or you could move." "It feels like someone is taking their hands and just squeezing my lungs, or like there's a twoton elephant sitting on my chest," Steele said. "I just can't get a breath in." Steele grew up close to the LEC. Boyle, president of the North Lawrence Improvement Association for 13 years, said the coal-fired plant wasn't discussed much in his association. He said he didn't think the plant directly affected people living in neighborhoods around it. Steele grew up not wanting to let asthma get in his way. He didn't stay indoors to play, although at times he knew he should have. Growing up, he played hard with the other kids and often paid for it with trips to the nurse's office and asthma attacks a few times per week. With age, Steele learned how to handle his asthma. He is a registered emergency medical technician and said his training has made him more aware of the physical processes of his asthma. Unlike Steele, some Lawrence residents see no harm in living "As opposed to letting myself get to the point where I need the inhaler, I try to just slow myself down so I don't have to use it," Steele said. "We don't receive a lot of the emissions from the power plant because the winds blow from the south in the summer and north in the winter," Boyle said. "So it just generally bypasses us." Although Steele said it's normal for the severity of asthma to decline with age, he still uses his albuterol inhaler every week. . The American Lung Association and the EPA have a different view. Communities settled around coal-fired plants have higher levels of asthma and other respiratory illnesses because pollutants linger in the area. The EPA stated in its Clear Skies study in 2004 that asthma-inducing pollutants such as sulphur oxides and nitrogen oxides can remain in the air near coal plants for days or even years as small solid particles or liquid droplets. "It feels like someone is taking their hands and just squeezing my lungs, or like there's a two-ton elephant sitting on my chest." NEIGHBORHOOD THOUGHTS ON THE LEC Boyle isn't the only one who isn't fazed by the LEC's presence in Lawrence. Residents involved in local real estate said the plant rarely surfaces in conversations about housing in the area. Doug Stephens, president of Stephens Real Estate, said that in his 20 years with the company, he hadn't heard many complaints about the LEC. Dennis Snodgrass, president of McGrew Real Estate, echoed Stephens' opinions on the area around the LEC. "it's not like it's something new, they know what's there, they know they can see it," Stephens said. CHAZ STEELE Lawrence senior "The idea that coal is the cheap fuel source of the future is bogus." "Every neighborhood has its SCOTT ALLEGRUCCI GPACE director pluses and minuses," Snodgrass said. "North Lawrence has bigger lots and is a little more rural, which draws a lot of people to it. A lot of people are okay with having the plant up north." Snodgrass compared the LEC with other things people sometimes preferred not to live near, such as train tracks or power lines. According to Trulia.com, a real estate research company, the average home price in April for homes in the North Lawrence neighborhoods, those closest to the LEC, was about $139,000. The average home prices for other neighborhoods west of North Lawrence averaged at least $200,000. But August Dettbarn, appraiser at the Douglas County Appraisers Office, said calculating the difference in Lawrence home values by neighborhood was a difficult task. He said neighborhoods commonly referred to, such as the student ghetto or Old West Lawrence, are different from neighborhoods used to evaluate real estate. Dettbarn said real estate neighborhoods are divided into much smaller sections. Appraisers estimated that if home values in the sections were similar enough, people would be willing to live in any other home in the neighborhood. He said he didn't know whether the LEC had any "But after people live there for a bit, they don't even notice it anymore," Snodgrass said. "I would see the plant as something similar, I don't think it's going to detract value." effects on the home prices in areas around the coal-fired plant. THE TRUE COST OF COAL Coal has long been considered the cheap fuel source for Americans. Coal provides more than 75 percent of electric energy for Kansans, according to the Energy Information Administration at the U.S. Department of Energy. But Scott Allelgrucci, director of the Great Plains Alliance for Clean Energy, or GPACE, said coal only appears to be a cheap fuel source. He said the health costs associated with getting energy from coal should be considered as well. "The idea that coal is the cheap fuel source of the future is bogus," Allegrucci said.

Chance Dibben/KANSAN According to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, the Lawrence Energy Center, shown here from the south, released about 8,300 tons of pollutants into the air in 2007. The Environmental Integrity Project from the same year ranked the center as the 12th-driest coal-fired plant in the country. 4,600 tons of NOx, nitrogen oxide. 440 tons of PM, particulate matter. 2,500 tons of SOx (sulphur oxide). 550 tons of CO (Carbon monoxide). 66 tons of VOC (Volatile organic compounds.) In one year, the Lawrence Energy Center emits the following amounts of pollutants: of these monitored pollutants are considered criteria pollutants, which the EPA regulates and sets strict limitations on because of their abundance and ability to harm human health and the environment.

EPA studies show that air pollution from power plants triggers asthma attacks, bronchitis and heart disease, and contributes to about 30,000 premature deaths a year. Source: The Environmental Integrity Project CAN'T TEACH AN OLD PLANT NEW TRICKS According to the American Lung Association, 65 percent of electric utility plants were built before enactment of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977. Some of the older power plants emit harmful pollutants at four to 10 times the rate allowable for new plants built today. Newer plants are held to Mercury: Can lead to tremors, mood swings, nervousness, insomnia, muscle weakness, headaches, twitching and lower cognitive function. health and environmental costs per megawatt-hour arise from coal-fired plants. A megawatt-hour is a term used to explain how many millions of watts can be produced in an hour. Allegrucci said officials ought to take that into account in deciding whether to license any new plants in the state. stricter standards, but that's not the case with coal-fired plants such as the Lawrence Energy Center, which was built in 1971. Older plants are "grandfathered," meaning they are held only to the standards that were in place when they were built. Lead: Can prevent normal functioning of the nervous system, kidneys and blood cells. In children it can slow mental development, shorten attention spans and cause behavioral problems. Sulphur oxides: Can cause or worsen asthma, especially in sensitive groups such as children, the elderly and people with heart or lung disease. WHAT CAN COAL-PLANT POLLUTANTS DO TO YOU? PCBs (Polychlorinated biphenyl) Have been shown to cause cancer, as well as adversely affect the nervous, immune and reproductive Almost 15 percent of Douglas County residents currently have asthma or have at one point been diagnosed. systems "Just when looking at the two coal plants proposed for Holcomb, you'd be talking about something along the lines of $5 billion annually in costs of health care-related issues that come from burning coal," Allegrucci said. "That doesn't show up in the utilities' bottom line. They don't pay those health costs — we do. We have to look at all the costs that we're actually paying." Nitrogen oxides: Can damage lung tissue and worsen asthma, especially in susceptible people such as children and the elderly. Nitrogen and sulphur oxides also contribute to acid rain, which causes water bodies to become acidic. Source: www.epa.gov BY THE NUMBERS Though $5 billion in additional costs of a coal plant seems overwhelming, Allegrucci said it was a low-end estimate. A similar study in Ontario, Canada, in 2004 estimated health and environmental costs to be $127 per megawatt hour, more than six times the amount figured by the EPA estimate. WHAT IS THE LEC DOING TO CLEAN UP? "We're all on Allegrucci said health effects mostly included respiratory and heart disease, and environmental costs come from contamination and cleanup of water and the surrounding environment. "If you have water you can't use for human consumption or if something makes the fish iedible, it's the loss of the use of the resource." Allergucci said. He said two of the three stack units of the LEC were equipped with scrubbers that removed regulated pollutants such as sulphur oxides. Bill Eastman is responsible for the environmental regulations and requirements for Westar. this earth together, and we've got to work together to figure out a path forward." Eastman said. "With the technology now, we've got to figure out how to move forward with out current mix until our technology changes. We're heavily reliant on coal. We've got to have a fuel, and we're obliged to provide it." Despite Allegrucci's desire for less coal and more renewable forms of energy, he said he understood that the coal-fired plants didn't deserve all the blame. The LEC was considered the 12th dirtiest coal-fired plant in the nation in 2007. "The providers of electrical energy are just doing what they've been asked to do." Allegrucci said. "We haven't asked them to account for those costs, but I think we're moving in that direction." A chemical reaction in the stacks turns sulphur into calcium sulphate, a solid that can be removed. Scrubbers, Eastman said, scrub the gas that rises through the stacks. This chemical solidification of the pollutants doesn't mean the pollutants go away. The solids are then added to water and permanently stored in an on-site landfill. $300 million by 2013 to further reduce emissions by making more upgrades. Eastman said the LEC has been on a downward trend in its emissions for years, and more plans are in the works to ensure it only gets cleaner with time. Unit No. 5, the tallest of the three stacks, has what is called a low NOx, or nitrogen oxide, burner, which keeps the nitrogen oxides from forming when coal is being burned. WHAT'S NEXT? "You'd be talking about something along the lines of $5 billion annually in costs of health care-related issues that come from burning coal." In addition to these emission-controlling efforts, Eastman said the LEC would spend more than SCOTT ALLEGRUCCI GPACE director Westar Energy plans to spend more than $300 million to make further upgrades to the LEC. After the April 17 EPA finding that greenhouse gases could prove dangerous to public health, Eastman said meeting new emission regulations might be in the near future for the LEC. "Any new regulatory process would impact the company, and that's just part of it," Eastman said. "We're trying to get ourselves geared up for that." Cathy Milbourn, spokeswoman for the EPA, said the April 17 endangerment finding came after two years of scientific research "Any new regulatory process would impact the company ... We're trying to get ourselves geared up for that." BILL EASTMAN Westar Energy Section 202 A states that the EPA administrator should set limits on motor vehicle ordered by the U.S. Supreme Court. In 2007, Massachusetts sued the EPA for violating section 202 A of the Clean Air Act. emissions, which included greenhouse gases, that are considered an Never regulations would require the LEC to make improvements, but some say it's been doing a good job already. Calwell, from Friends of the endangement to public health and welfare. The Supreme Court found that greenhouse gases should be covered by the Clean Air Act, so the EPA had to determine whether greenhouse gases really did pose a threat to public health, which the endangement finding showed was the case. Milbourn said the finding was the first step in getting greenhouse gases, which have never before had emission limitations, regulated similarly to other pollutants. Huggins, with the Kansas Biological Survey, said the real problem at hand was the coal industry as a whole, not just the LEC. "Until we find an alternative, that's just the price we pay for cheap energy," Huggins said. "No one wants to hear about giving something up" Kaw, said she thought the river had gotten considerably cleaner in the past five to 10 years, in part because of upgrades made at the LEC. New EPA regulations would be sure to paint a prettier picture for all the friends of the Kaw.

FASHION Rihanna wows cameras on red carpet at The Met FASHION NEWYORK—Rihanna is back — on the red carpet, at least. The pop singer arrived Monday at the annual Costume Institute of The Metropolitan Museum gala in New York. It was her first such appearance since then-boyfriend Chris Brown allegedly beat her in February. Rihanna arrived in black including both the SUV and her Dolce and Gabbana suit and bow tie. She was the last celebrity to walk the carpet and did not speak with press. "Vogue" editor Anna Wintour once again hosted the gala, which this year served as the kickoff to "The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion" exhibit. Kate Moss co-chaired the event with Justin Timberlake. Guests included Madonna, Victoria Beckham and designer Stella McCartney with her muses: Kate Hudson and Liv Tyler.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Country music star Brad Paisley has found inspiration for songs in some unexpected places. So why not the name of his second child? So, when their son was born April 17, they named him Jasper Warren Paisley. The baby's middle name comes from Paisley's grandfather, who gave Brad his first guitar. Jasper Warren joins older brother William Huckleberry, who was born in February 2007. Last month, Paisley won best male vocalist at the Academy of Country Music Awards. He is also the reigning Country Music Association male vocalist of the year. --- Associated Press Opinion THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN .

"Joining a student organization, in my EDITORIAL BOARD KU students finding more ways to be environmentally friendly It has been encouraging to see an increasing number of KU students come together to promote awareness of environmental issues and participate in sustainability programs. Joining the movement to go green is possible through a variety of groups and students should be familiar with the list of environmental organizations on campus. On its Web site, the KU Center for Sustainability provides a list of the environmental groups open to students as well as information about sustainability on campus, climate change, energy conservation and recycling. The University's environmental efforts this semester have been gaining momentum. Many events held on campus have prompted involvement from students and staff. Tyler Enders, Leawood sophomore, served as the coordinator and networker for the movement "From Blue to Green: Conserve KU" Enders said he wanted the average KU student to be overwhelmed by a student-led, University-wide environmental movement. "From Blue to Green: Conserve "For the spring, we decided to host as many environmental events as possible to raise awareness, to educate people and then to create action," Enders said. "We wanted students to realize that the entire University was collaborating on a movement to make KU more sustainable both on the individual level and on the University level." KU" was a campaign that included every environmental group on campus, to develop a more environmentally stable and sustainable KU community with the hope to obtain assistance in a "contagious movement" that would stimulate change. This campaign included 26 events in two weeks. Ryan Callihan, Lenexa senior and vice president of Enviros, has been involved with Enviros for two years and has also collaborated with the Student Environmental Advisory Board, Eco-Justice and Alternative Energy Society. Callihan said some of the most significant issues Enviros had been working on were maintaining student consciousness about the environmental impact of eating locally Among the many student organizations involved in "From Blue to Green: Conserve KU" was KU Environs, which advocates awareness of environmental problems and issues. KANSAN'S OPINION opinion, is the most powerful thing you can do to effect change on campus." Callihan said. "Recently, so many avenues for involvement in sustainability have opened up, which are accessible to the average interested student. There is a group for green-minded engineers, green-minded builders, gardeners, people interested in environmental justice issues and a couple for alternative energy, just to name a few." FOR KU GREEN GROUPS VISIT: http://www.ku.edu/ organizations/ OR, EMAIL fromblue2green@ gmail.com Enders said the easiest way to support sustainability without making a large time commitment is attending the various events around campus sponsored by environmental student groups. MUSIC "The speakers this semester were extremely knowledgeable and entertaining." Enders said. "There will definitely be more next semester, both sponsored through 'From Blue to Green' and through other University groups and departments." Students in general should be mindful of their environmental impact and make an effort to modify their daily routine. "Sustainable living does not mean going out and buying all of the 'green' products you can find," Callihan said. "It requires a tweaking of your living and consumptive habits. This would include things like riding your bike whenever possible, using only the amount of lighting you need to see and knowing the products and food you buy and where they came from." — Nancy Wolens for The Kansan Editorial Board MYMAST MILK Build a concert bucket list BEN COLDHAN When the air is safe to breathe again, I'd like to get out and take in a few concerts. Finances permitting, maybe even more than a few concerts. The Hives: I blindly submitted to the Hives' jurisdiction around the time Veni Vidi Vicious hit the States in 2001. A concert of theirs on MTV2 affirmed that, and everything that followed cemented those sentiments. Howlin' Pelle Almqintz is among today's finest frontmen, with elements of Mick Jagger and Iggy Pop in his repertoire. You may have heard "Hate to Say I Told You So" but you own yourself so much more. Refer to the limitless concert footage of the raw energy of their shows on YouTube or the DVD, "Tussles in Brussels." With this in mind I've created a bucket list, so to speak, of several musical acts that I have not yet seen and wish to before I expire. The list is long, but if I were a print columnist with limited space (hey!) this is how the top would read: The Arctic Monkeys: Do you grow tired and agitated whenever someone yammers on about how great the Beatles are? Yes, their contribution to rock music is substantial but the passage of four 1 SEEK AND INFORM STERPHEN MONEYMAND they're even from the U.K. In fact, their debut album, released in 2006 with the group barely 20 years old apiece, became the fastest selling British album in history. This one may linger on the list for a while, as they've been on our side of the pond only for festivals, though that may change in the next year or so if a new album appears as planned. Beastie Boys: Sigh. Perhaps I will have to suck it up and road trip it out to Bonnaroo or All Points West or Lollapaloooa. Anyone want to come along for the ride? Wed have plenty of time to get acquainted and by the time we arrive we'll have the Beasties and Arctic Monkeys waiting for us. Should you ball (or not respond at all), I suppose I'll have plenty of time to catch these guys. They simply aren't slowing down. Funny STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR decades brings with it room for other great acts to emerge. Here's your chance to catch one of them thing is I fully expect them to still be turning tables and spitting rhymes when they actually look like the makeup-clad elderly versions of themselves on the "Sounds of Science" greatest hits double-disc set. Calle 13: Daddy Yankee has had the market in on the Latin American genre reggaeton, at least in the United States. This group, however, matches him in quality and surpasses in originality. Whereas much of the genre sounds alike — meaning you could paste together a reggaeton track within five minutes on your computer— this duo adds a variety of infectious beats and inventive lyrics to the point where their sound is more hip-hop. And while you'll need a few semesters of Spanish under your belt to decipher the wordplay, you'll eventually conclude that vocalist Residente produces work that blends social and political issues with humor and fun in a way few are able to do successfully. Looks as if we are out of room. What do you say we check out for the summer? Montemayor is a Mission junior in journalism. POLITICS The coolest judge on the Court But the most exciting is a position that has yet to be filled. After 18 years on the Supreme Court, Justice David Souter has announced his retirement. As he is presumably not pulling a Brett Favre and simply doing this to get a new contract (and probably doesn't want to play for the Jets). President Obama must now find a replacement for Justice Souter. There is a wave of exciting new faces washing over Washington, D.C. Kathleen Sebelius has officially assumed the mantle of Secretary of Health and Human Services, where she can resume her old practice of sticking it to "big insurance," put on hold for six years while she was governor of Kansas. Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) has emerged from his cocoon and become Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.); and I'm pretty sure that, before July, the Nationals are going to call up this pitcher I went to high school with whom they drafted last year sometime before July. And that is where I come in. Obama has stated that held like Souter's successor to have a "sharp, independent mind and a record of excellence and integrity." Though I have none of those qualities, I would still make an excellent Justice. I spent a summer interning for the Kansas Supreme Court, where I was constantly in a room down the hall from important judicial deliberations, so clearly I wouldn't be going in cold. I'm also completely partial on several important issues, easily bribed (seriously, you could just bake me cookies), and unfamiliar with most landmark decisions that do not have a museum dedicated to them. LIBERAL LOUDMOUTH HEN BEN COHEN As a member of the Supreme Court, I promise that I would bring a new style to the interpretation of the law. My first priority when reviewing precedent would be to find out what sort of mood previous justices were in. Did somebody cut them off in traffic that day? Had they just bet on the wrong team in the ALCS? Mindset should always be a factor. Also, I would immediately force the return of powdered wigs. I think most of my esteemed colleagues would support this measure, except maybe that pretty boy of a Chief Justice, John Roberts. I guess my point is that I would bring a fresh new perspective to the Supreme Court. It may not meet traditional standards of "professionalism" or "thoughtfulness", but it would be entertaining Obama, Because I assume you're reading this, take note: Justice Cohen equals a better Supreme Court. "But Ben," you may ask, "doesn't that mean you are totally unqualified?" Pish posh, I say. Supreme Court justices are always held to certain standards, and really, what fun have they been? When was the last time Ruth Bader Ginsburg leaked an important decision over Twitter, or Stephen Breyer guest-judged on "Iron Chef America"? Cohen is a Topeka junior in political science. GUEST COLUMN BY MICHAEL TETWILER AND LAUREN SCHIMMING Judging KC's best BBQ This semester 20 students became experts of Kansas City: its jazz, its history and its barbeque. These students took part in a seminar called "Kansas City: A Biography of a City" taught by Jonathan Earle, associate professor of history. When deciding upon a way to end the class, we were left with no choice but to have a barbeque competition. Our classmates day-tripped to the locations of our three taste-test contestants: Oklahoma Joe's, Gates and Arthur Bryant's. The former are well-established, historic KC originals. Oklahoma Joe's is located in a gas station, although its success has led to a restaurant in Olathe (which is not legit). These three were chosen after hours of tears, fists and arguments regarding personal devotions that could very easily have ended up with someone buried under several tons of concrete in the riverbed next to the Plaza, compliments of Tom Penderaast. Our method was objective. The mouth-watering selections were secretly labeled one through three. Our judging involved four categories; sauce, ribs, side dish and Pit Boss' choice item, where we allowed them to put forth their best. Our ranking system ranged from one, completely inedible, to ten, culinary nirvana. The only flaw to our perfect system was revealed when one of the day-trippers ran in holding a forgotten container of beans from Gates, the BBQ baked beans that made all other baked beans trivial. This additional dish added to the miniscule number of edible items for our resident vegetarian; and there was much rejoicing. Surprisingly, the lowest rankings were from establishment three. Arthur Bryant's. One respondent (our ballots were secret, too) said "Everything was very bitter. I felt like my tongue was being attacked by very angry BBQ mercenaries," and another drew a zombie PacMan painfully losing his lunch. Surprisingly, the unsung hero, Oklahoma Joes, most nearly achieved the epitome of barbeque excellence. One person wrote "Swine flu be damned. This is the barbeque for me." It won the hearts of our class with its irresistible sauce, helping it to beat out the heavily toured Arthur Bryant's for first place in the 2009 University Scholars Tastery.

Caroline Chaboo, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, is researching the chemicals and toxins within Chrysomelidae, a genus of small African leaf beetles. The toxins are so powerful that members of San Bushmen, a tribe in southern Africa, mash up the bug's larvae to put on the tips of arrows. The poison on the arrows is strong enough to kill animals as large as giraffes. Chaboo will present the lecture "Biology, Evolution and Defensive Behaviors in Leaf Beetles: From the Unusual to the Weird" at 7 p.m. It's the last installment of the Natural History Museum's Wild Science lecture series this year. Chaboo said the beetles came in different color variations — red and yellow, black and yellow, and red. "If you think about a fire truck that's red, the red is kind of an alert color," Chaboo said. "It tells you something about the animal before you've even touched it or tried to eat it." The chemicals inside the beetles cause the predator to vomit or die after eating them, which serves as the only defense mechanism for the centimeter-long beetles. In addition to studying the beetles, Chaboo is examining the plants the beetles eat to determine whether the toxins come from the beetles themselves or from their food source. Chaboo's work also examines the culture of the San tribe. She said the cultural study of the San tribe was just as important as the biological study. Because She visited Africa four times in the past four years, conducting research in South Africa, Botswana and Namibia. Vivian D. Meehan, a U.S. geologist and archaeologist, is working with colleagues to study the ancient village of Huehuete in southern Peru. The site contains numerous stone structures, including an ancient mortuary and a temple. D. Meehan is conducting research on the historical significance of these structures, which she认为具有重要的考古和历史价值。 **WHAT:** Wild Science Lecture: "Biology, Evolution and Defensive Behaviors in Leaf Beetles: From the Unusual to the Weird" **WHEN:** 7 p.m. today **WHERE:** KU Natural History Museum WHO: Caroline Chaboo, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology COST: Free and open to the public they have lost much of their native land, Chaboo said, it was even more urgent to study the San people. "Essentially, what is going on with the San people is going on with indigenous people throughout the world — they are being marginalized," Chaboo said. She said the San tribe was a primitive tribe that still used tongue clicking as its language. "They are considered the first branch of modern human," Chaboo said. The San people still use bow and arrows for hunting, and they mash up the beetle juice into a thick, gluey paste and put it on each arrowhead. After hitting an animal, the tribesmen track the animal's footprints, because it can take several days for the poison to kill large animals. "In many ways, her work demonstrates how much we need to be aware of cultural adaptations and how much cultural systems and natural systems affect each other," Kristhalka said. Leonard Kristalka, director of the Biodiversity Institute, said the San people were careful when collecting larvae, taking only one beetle at a time and leaving the underground nest intact. He said Chaboo's work went beyond traditional biology to include the study of the surrounding culture. Andrew Short, adjunct assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, said studying the human uses of the beetles could lead to a better understanding of biological sciences and the San people. "Some of the beetles Dr. Chaboo studies have profound, ancient cultural significance, which adds a layer to her research program that is much less commonly encountered in our field." Short said. Chaboo said she was assembling a team of collaborators in chemistry, anthropology and botany to further her research on the African beetles. — Edited by Andrew Wiebe 100 CONTRIBUTED PHOTOS Above: From left, Michael Kazondunge, a Namibian high school student and translator, two members of the San Bushmen tribe and Caroline Chaboo, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, dig for beetle larvae near the base of a host plant at the Tsumkwae Nature Conservancy, in northeastern Namibia.

EDUCATION Obama considering future of No Child Left Behind BY LIBBY QUAID Associated Press BUNKER HILL, W.Va. - Special education teacher Lynn Reichard has a problem with the federal No Child Left Behind law: Some of her kids cannot read, never mind pass its required state test. Reichard told Education Secretary Arne Duncan on Tuesday that she works all year long to boost the self-esteem of mentally impaired students at Bunker Hill Elementary, only to see them fall apart over standardized tests. "They feel so good about them selves, and then they look at a two- paragraph reading passage, and they know six words," Reichard said. "I have one child here that's a nonreader, and she's going to have take the test, and she's going to cry. "There's just got to be another answer for that," Reichard said. Reichard was among a dozen teachers and parents who met with Duncan as the Obama administration considers changing the controversial law championed by former President George W. Bush. No Child Left Behind pushes schools to boost the performance of low-achieving students, and Duncan gives the law credit for shining a spotlight on kids who need the most help. Opponents, however, insist that the law's annual reading and math tests have squeezed subjects like music and art out of the classroom and that schools were promised billions of dollars they never received. Duncan wants to hear how the program works from educators, parents and kids, and he began a 15-state "listening tour" at Reichard's school in the eastern panhandle of rural West Virginia. President Barack Obama has been vague about much he would overhaul the law, but on Tuesday, his ideas began to take shape. The teacher was right, Duncan said later. While the law does make allowances for different tests for severe- iya impaired kids, many don't fall into that category. "To have a child taking a test that it is literally impossible for them to pass and having that humiliation, and holding schools accountable for that, that doesn't make sense," Duncan said in an interview with the Associated Press. Duncan used Reichard's tale as an example of how the federal government should be "looser" about how states meet goals. He fought the government on similar issues in his last job, as chief executive of Chicago's public schools. At the same time, he said, the government should get "tighter" about goals, insisting on more rigorous academic standards that are uniform across the states. "What I mean by loose is not getting away from accountability at all," he told the AP. "What I mean by loose is giving folks more flexibility in how they achieve their goals." Duncan made time to visit with kids, reading the book, "Doggie Dreams" to first-graders at Bunker Hill and having lunch with fourth-graders at Eagle Intermediate School in Martinsburg, where he ate a cheesesteak sandwich and onion rings but finished only half his vegetables. "Who's the president now?" Duncan asked the first-graders, one of whom correctly identified Obama. NOW LEASING 2 bedrooms as low as $400.00!

Federal dollars in the economic stimulus law can be used for those kinds of systems. Duncan said he won't hesitate to visit struggling schools, too. Whatever the administration decides to do, it needs the approval of Congress, which passed the law with broad bipartisan support in 2001 but deadlocked over a rewrite in 2007. Lawmakers plan to trv again in the fall. While the law has helped improve the academic performance of many minority kids, English-language learners and kids with disabilities, critics say the law is too punitive: More than a third of schools failed to meet yearly progress goals last year, according to the Education Week newspaper. That means millions of children are a long way from reaching the law's ambitious goals. The law pushes schools to improve test scores each year, so that every student can read and do math on grade level by the year 2014. Both schools are high-performing and rely heavily on sophisticated data systems to explain not only what kids don't know, but Duncan said little about the law Tuesday, preferring to listen to the concerns of teachers in more intimate sessions at elementary schools and a larger forum at Blue Ridge Community College in Martinsburg.

She hasn't seen too many like this year's group, however. "This group is definitely a special one," Bunge said. "All five have made major contributions to this program in one way or another during their time here." Third baseman Val Chapple, left fielder Stevie Crisosto, pitcher Valerie George, center fielder Dougie McCaulley, and catcher Elle Pottorf will likely play their last games in Jayhawk uniforms this weekend at the Big 12 tournament.

The Jayhawks will face Wichita State again today. BY JOSH BOWE jbowe@kansan.com A hundred and sixty-three miles south on Interstate 35, Wichita State is waiting for revenge. Jerry Wang/KANSAN Not only was it a shutout, but Kansas also put quite a few runs on the scoreboard. The 8-0 drubbing of Wichita State was an early highlight of the season and a turning point for Kansas. Two months ago, the Jayhawks did something they normally don't do against the Shockers: shut them out. "It'll be a huge rivalry game for them after we spanked them so good at our place," coach Ritch Price said. "They are going to give it everything they got to try to make sure they even the series for the year." But don't expect the Shockers to be pleased with the Jayhawks when they match up again today at 7 p.m. in Wichita.

NBA PLAYOFFS NOT QUITE AS GOOD AS THEY SEEM For the past week and a half all that NBA fans have talked about is Bulls-Celtics, the series that kept every last one of us on the edge of our seats and left us shaking our heads the next day. But for all the overtime drama, general animosity and star power bouncing back and forth between Boston and Chicago, there wasn't much else to go around in the first round. None of the Western Conference series were ever really in doubt. Atlanta and Miami went to seven games, but only the diehards really seemed to care. Dwight Howard was suspended for a game, but Orlando still blew out Philadelphia. King James and Kobe? Unchallenged. Dallas over San Antonio? Those old legs had to falter sometime. Even Houston finally making it out of the first round was no big deal. So even though Bulls-Celtics may have been one of the most entertaining playoff series of all time the NBA still has a ways to go to make this postseason truly special.

They're correct about the nature of these matters, but their conclusion is backward. Now, more than ever, the power of sports to distract is a saving grace. Up until recently, Jayhawk fans could temporarily ignore their real-life drama — instead immersing themselves in the "will they or won't they" Henry brothers' saga. When the tale reached its happy ending, fears of footnotes could be replaced by fantasies of basketball greatness. While Kansas basketball's future looks bright, two members of its past played starring roles in the near-perfect basketball drama that was Bulls-Celtics, Kirk Hinrich, relegated to the bench in favor of rookie Derrick Rose, provided a starter's minutes and production — not to mention the tenacity it takes for an undersized and undertaled underdog to nearly upset the defending champs. Opposite Hinrich, reigning NBA Finals MVP Paul Pierce teamed with Ray Allen to kill off Chicago's playoff dreams. The series was basketball stranger than fiction, and a welcome respite from less-Hollywood realities. In sports, even real concerns are displaced — or at least accented — by hope. Fears that Kansas' defense may be lacerated by Big 12 spread attacks exist but are dismissed by envisioning consistent 40-point outbursts orchestrated by Todd Reesing. Still, stresses sometimes mount to the point when quitting seems an attractive option. For those who feel that way, know that pitching prodigy turned virtuoso and Sports Illustrated cover boy Zack Greinke had similar feelings about baseball not so long ago. All of this is to say that, although May brings a feeling of dread along with its blooming flowers, sports can provide temporary salvation. As for motivation — keep looking at the bottom of that coffee cup. - Edited by Brandy Entsminger KANSAS (33-16) PITCHING The pitching wasn't as sharp against Oklahoma as it's been all season, but two of the starters did enough to keep Kansas in the game to win. The other starter was freshman Lee Ridenhour, who didn't even make it past the first inning BROOKLYN Ridenhour before being pulled. Ridenhour has the opportunity to bounce back tonight against a team he dominated in March. ★★★☆☆ OFFENSE Just when it looked as though the bottom of the order was ready to contribute, the No.6 through Lytle 9 hitters went a combined 1-for-16 during Sunday's loss. But the offense still hasn't had trouble scoring runs, averaging 7.7 runs per game in A the Oklahoma series, more than enough considering the quality of Kansas' pitching. Sophomore outfielder Casey Lyle has been struggling since becoming the No. 6 hitter, perhaps contributing to sophomore Tony Thompson's mini slump. Lytle needs to become more consistent to allow Thompson to see more pitches. ★★★☆ MOMENTUM Kansas just had its best road series of the season, taking two of three from Oklahoma last weekend. Kansas has reached its highest ranking in the polls all season, climbing to No.23.The quality of the Big 12, kept Kansas from moving anywhere in the conference standings, though. This isn't a Big 12 game, but the atmosphere will certainly feel like it. TONIGHT No. 23 Kansas vs. Wichita State 7 p.m. Eck Stadium, Wichita Radio: KLWN (1320 AM) BASEBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) would snap Ridenhour back into form after he had a rough week. "I'll run him out there Wednesday night — give him a chance to redeem himself," Price said. Sophomore third baseman Tony Thompson isn't worried about Ridenhour's performance. Thompson said Ridenhour had worked wonders all season. "He's been great for us. We have the utmost confidence in him," Thompson said. "He's going to have good starts, and everyone has bad starts, so you can't be too disappointed with him." Ridenhour has been able to work most of this season using primarily two pitches: his fastball and his slider. He has been working on perfecting his changeup, but against Oklahoma the changeup wasn't working and the Sooners' lineup, which is stacked with left-handers, took advantage. "It's still part of his development," Price said. "Until he develops that changeup he still doesn't have a pitch to attack left-handed hitters with." Ridenhour will have to perform well in front of about 7,000 fans for Kansas to have a chance to win tonight. "They'll want to beat us pretty good, but we need to go in there and it's going to be a great game," Thompson said. "It's going to be a tough place to play — we need to find a way to pull it out." -Josh Bowe "It'll be a hostile environment. There will be over 7,000 people there, rooting for Wichita State." Price said. "We just have to continue to play like we've played these last two weeks." The nonconference game will be huge for Kansas' NCAA tournament resume. Edited by Jesse Trimble WICHITA STATE (24-22) PITCHING PITCHING The Shockers' bats went dead last time they played the Jayhawks. They mustered only three hits in Lee Ridenour's eight innings of work, and senior Paul Smyth threw a perfect ninth. Only five runners reached base. Don't W expect that to happen again, as the Shockers have been held scoreless only once since then. First baseman Clinton McKeever is the biggest threat, with a .351 average and five homers. McKeever ★★★☆☆ OFFENSE Wichita State will throw Brian Flynn, a 6-foot-8 lefty who played hiring school ball with Kansas' James Stanford. Flynn started against the Jayhawks in their first meeting and threw three perfect innings W before surrendering two runs on only one out in the fourth and picking up the loss. Flynn is 1-4 with a hefty 5.93 ERA. Flynn ★★☆☆ MOMENTUM The Shockers desperately want this one. Not only are they trying to avoid a series sweep by their in-state rival, but they want to prove KU freshman Lee Ridenhour wrong, Ridenhour, who chose to attend Kansas instead of Wichita State, said he made his choice because Wichita State was a program on the decline. It added insult to serious injury, as he made the comments just after shutting out the Shockers 8-0. BASEBALL Lawrence native gives hometown a sports star Tim Dwyer -RoX BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH kbreckunitch@kansan.com Wichita has former NFL running back Barry Sanders. Halstead has former college basketball coach Adolph Rupp. Even small town Sedgwick has Brian Moorman, one of the top punters in the NFL. Kevin Hooper played for the Detroit Tigers for a stint. During a Triple-A game in 2005, he played an inning in every position, including pitcher. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Lawrence has no star player it can claim as a native product. Yes, Lawrence takes pride in the stars KU turns out, but the city has no one it can truly claim as its own. If Kevin Hooper, a Lawrence native who played baseball for Wichita State from 1996 to 1999, has anything to say about it, though, he will change that. Hooper rotated between second base and shortstop through his baseball career. One knock on him throughout his career has been his size. He stands only 5-foot-10. His Lawrence High School baseball coach, Lynn Harrod, realized Hooper had the skill set to be a good player, but Hooper's size made him cautious. Harrod said that back then, freshmen and sophomores were not allowed on the varsity team. Hooper's first opportunity to prove himself came in his junior year in high school. Harrod still wasn't sold on Hooper's strength and was wrestling with the idea of using him as a leadoff hitter. Harrod placed Hooper at the bottom of the order instead and Hooper instantly began to prove his worth. "He proceeded to go 6-for-8 in a doubleheader and drove in about eight runs with a couple triples and a couple doubles," Harrod said. "That pretty much showed us what he could do." It hurt Hooper not to go to KU. He said that he would have liked Harrod said Hooper proved during the next two years at Lawrence that he had the ability to play Division-I baseball. The choice came down to Kansas or Wichita State. Harrod said Wichita State had about six mid-level infielder recruits at the time, as well as the same questions about Hooper's size and ability. Harrod passed on this advice on Hooper to Wichita State's hitting instructor, Jim Thomas: "You're going to find every way that he can't play for you, but he'll prove you wrong." Hooper earned a starting spot about a month into his freshman season. to stay in Lawrence but that the situation at Wichita State worked out better for him. "I just couldn't pass up the opportunity because I knew I wanted to play in the major leagues." Hooper said. "Since I was as young as I can even remember that's what my dream was and I thought the best opportunity for me for that was to go to Wichita State." Hooper said he loved playing at Wichita State and making the College World Series his freshman year. Hooper also was named an All-American in 1996. He spent last year playing shortstop for the Wichita Winguts in the American Association, an independent baseball league. He was named manager of the Winguts last November. Hooper spent most of his time in professional baseball in the minor leagues but said he didn't regret a minute of it — he was happy just to get the opportunity. "I've overcome a lot of odds and obstacles to reach the peak of my profession," Hooper said. He even ended up getting a hit with the Detroit Tigers in 2005. "All that hard work ended up paying off," Hooper said. Though his size has always seemed to throw people off, Hooper's character has never been in question. In fact, that's what sticks out to Steve Schuster, Wingnuts' director of broadcasting. "He defines the word 'professionalism,' Schuster said. Schuster said Hooper's character was what would help him be a good manager, because it rubs off on people. "He plays hard. He works hard. He sets an example for everyone." Schuster said, adding that Hooper would transition well because, in his opinion, shortstops make some of the best managers. Hooper knows how tough it is to make it the majors from his time as a player, but he is willing to challenge himself again to make it as a manager in the Major League. CAREERTIMELINE 1992 to 1996 — Stars at Lawrence High 1996 Starts college career at Wichita State 1996 — Named to freshman All-American team 1999 — Named first-team All-American "You think it's hard to get there as a player — it's even harder to do it as a manager," Hooper said. "You've got 30-what-odd teams and there's 25 guys on a roster, but there's only one manager for each team." 1999 — Drafted by Florida Marlins (8th round, 236th pick) July 9, 2005 — Makes MLB debut with Detroit Tigers September 5, 2005 — Plays every position in one game (AAA Toledo) November 6, 2008 — Named manager of Wichita Wingnuts He is willing to work his way up again and is confident he can fulfill another dream. "It's an elite group, but I'm going to give it all that I've got, just as I did play." Hooper said. All through his career Hooper has never forgotten his roots and recognizes Lawrence as a big part of his life. "It's a place that will always be in my heart and I'll never forget the experiences I had there," Hooper said. Hooper just may become Lawrence's native star.

"Come On In, You Be The Judge!" NBA ASSOCIATED PRESS Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki, back, tumbles out of play after being pushed by Denver Nuggets for Kenyon Martin, right. Martin was called for a flagrant foul and fined $25,000 for the play. SAMANTHA MIDDLEHURST Nuggets coach angered by fine 'Out of line and crazy' $25,000 penalty on Denver forward draws coach's ire BY PAT GRAHAM Associated Press Karl said he watched replays of the foul 10 times Monday night, coming away even more perplexed by why the league felt a fine was warranted. DENVER — Nuggets coach George Karl disagrees with the $25,000 fine given to forward Kenyon Martin, calling it "way out of line and crazy." Martin was penalized by the league on Monday, the day after knocking Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki to the court in Denver's second-round, series-opening win. "I'm going to repeat, I think it's wrong and Kenyon didn't deserve a $25,000 fine," Karl said after his team's shootaround in preparation for Game 2 on Tuesday night. "I saw some hits in Chicago-Boston, some hits in Atlanta-Miami — this is not on top of the list from my observation," he said. "It's amazing to me." The league declined to comment. "That's for you all to scrutinize and talk about," Karl said. "As a coach, when you're confused and your players are confused it's tough. My job is to help. At this moment, I'm as confused as Kenyon is." Over his career, Martin has been known for his physical play. Did that work against him? Rex Chapman, the Nuggets' vice president of player personnel, was contacted by NBA executive vice president of basketball operations Stu Jackson on Monday and had a chance to voice his opinion. "I'm going to repeat, I think it's wrong and Kenyon didn't deserve a $25,000 fine." Chapman said in an e-mail, "We will accept their decision and move forward." Martin was also assessed a flagrant foul 1 for the contact, which occurred with about six minutes left in the first quarter. Still, Karl isn't going to request that Martin dial down his tenacity. GEORGE KARL Nuggets coach "Kenyon is a tough defender that gets at times the wrong interpretation because he's so tough," Karl said. "He's not going to get the perfect whistle because the way he plays creates a lot of interpretation. We've just got to move on." Nowitzki said after the game The Mavricks All-Star has no beef with Martin, either. he didn't have a problem with the foul, calling it "just a hard playoff foul" "There are a lot of guys that are better actors than some other guys," Karl said. "You want the best team to win. You don't want the team that can trick you into winning." "We both played hard, had some great battles and left it at that," Nowitzki said Tuesday. "We were laughing at one move that I made on the block where I had like 10 or 11 fakes and he was just standing there. He asked me what the hell I was doing?" On the play in question, Nowitzki was off-balance when Martin put a shoulder into him, causing him to stumble and then go sliding across the lane. "I don't think I really acted on that play. It was pretty obvious." Nowitzki said. "I was on the baseline, 1 Nowitzki took offense to the notion he made the foul look worse that it really was. got bumped and I got the foul. Sometimes with the continuation in this league, I guess he wanted to make sure that I didn't get the lay-in and they would count the basket." Even though it cost Martin $25,000, the fine might have been worth it for him and the Nuggets. It seemed to set the tone for the game, if not the series, that the Mavericks were in for some hard play against the rough-and-tumble Nuggets. That said, Karl objects to the perception his team has abruptly become too assertive. "All of a sudden, we've been labeled bullies and too physical. Where was this at the end of the season?" Karl said. "This is, I think, teams crying a little bit that we're playing hard. We're playing harder than maybe they are. I'm not going to tell my team not to play harder." Nowitzki said he didn't think the fine would cause Martin to alter his style. "K-Mart is K-Mart. He's an aggressive player, an aggressive defender," Nowitzki said. "I don't think that's going to be in the back of his mind. He's a competitor. So am I. So we're going to have a battle the whole series." ✓ SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, MAY 6, 2009 5B SOFTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) VALERIE GEORGE Upon first glance, you might not place Valerie George as a big-time pitcher. But that's just what George, a 5-foot-5 hurler, likes to hear. "A lot of people have doubted me, being undersized as a pitcher," she said. "I feel like I did a good job of proving them wrong." Over her career, George has gone from a complementary arm in the bullpen to the ace of the staff. Last season was her best in a lajhawk uniform, as she racked up 18 victories from the circle behind a 1.96 ERA. Though this season has been somewhat of a disappointment for the team, it still contains a career highlight for George. George's eyes lit up when reminiscing about the team's 5-1 upset victory against perennial softball powerhouse Arizona. George, a Tucson native, struck out eight and earned the victory in the early-season game. "For me obviously, the hometown thing was big, but they're always such a good team too," she said. "It felt so good to beat them." ELLE POTTORF Bumps and bruises, scrapes and cuts — all in a day's work for Elle After taking medical redshirt in 2006 because of shoulder surgery, Pottorf bounced back with her best offensive season, blasting nine home runs and 37 RBIs. Though a knee injury cut her 2008 season short, Pottorf found her way back to the field to catch the majority of Kansas' games this year. Pottert. As the backstop for Kansas for the past five seasons, Pottert has endured much more than a few scratches. "I don't know if I've ever coached a player who has fought back from so many injuries," Burge said. Though she has overcome all her injuries, they seem to have made a lasting impact on Potterf, who is currently working to become an athletic trainer. With a few years of school remaining, Potterf is far from finished — but her athletic eligibility is. "My five years have been a blast," she said. "I grew up only having brothers, so it was nice to have the girls on the team to talk with and play pranks on. They are all like my sisters." DOUGIE MCCAULLEY Since transferring to Kansas from Odessa (Texas) Junior College before the 2007 season, Dougie McCaulley has been a fixture in the lavhawk outfield. "Being able to put on the KU uniform day-in and day-out has been special," she said. McCaulley has started every game she has appeared in and has become known for robbing opponents of a hit or two with diving catches.

We have a little layhawk family with 17 sisters." Edited by Chris Horn 11 Favre could make a comeback with Minnesota ASSOCIATED PRESS MINNEAPOLIS — Just when Brett Favre looked to finally be out, the Minnesota Vikings could be pulling him back in. ASSOCIATED PRESS Citing an anonymous source "with direct knowledge of the discussions between the two parties," ESPN reported Tuesday that Favre is scheduled to meet with Vikings coach Brad Childress later this week about a possible comeback with Minnesota. Favre's agent, Bus Cook, did not immediately return a phone call to his Mississippi office left by The Associated Press. Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre pushes off Minnesota Vikings linebacker Ben Leber as Favre is sacked during an NFL football game in Green Bay, Wis. Citing an anonymous source, ESPN reported Tuesday that Favre may be considering a comeback with Minnesota. Both Favre and Cook have said this spring that Favre intends to stay retired. But Favre's statement after he was released by the New York Jets last week left the door open. Childress did not immediately return a message. A Vikings spokesman declined to comment. Those three little words—"At this time"—set off rampant speculation that he was indeed considering a second return to action. Childress said Friday he had been too busy to concentrate on Favre, but did acknowledge the subject would soon be broached. "At this time, I am retired and have no intention of returning to football," he said. It wouldn't be the first time. Favre spent 16 seasons in Green Bay, retiring in 2008 after leading the Packers to the NFC title game. He changed his mind a few months later, which set up a long and messy soap opera that ultimately led to his trade to the Jets. It was believed all along that Favre, after hearing Green Bay's plans to go with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback, wanted to come to NFC North rival Minnesota so he could exact some revenge on the Packers. But the Packers would have none of it. The team filed tampering charges against the Vikings, alleging improper contact between Favre and Vikings offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, a friend of Favre's from his days as Green Bay's quarterbacks coach. The league cleared the Vikings of all charges. Green Bay included in the trade to New York a clause that made it all but impossible for the Jets to turn around and ship Favre to the Vikings. But when the Jets granted the 39-year-old Favre his release last week, it made him a free agent who is eligible to sign with any team he chooses. And many experts say the Vikings are a quarterback away from being a legitimate Super Bowl contender. With unproven veterans Sage Rosenfels and Tarvaris Jackson slated to duke it out in training camp for the starting job, it would come as no surprise that the Vikings would at least consider adding a three-time MVP who holds the career records in every major statistical passing category, including interceptions. But the move would not come without questions. After an impressive start to his first and only season in New York—he threw a career-high six touchdown passes in a win over Arizona in Week 4—Favre's dipped considerably over the final five games while he dealt with shoulder and biceps injuries. He threw nine interceptions in that span and the Jets stumbled to a 1-4 finish. MLB MLB Indians defeat Blue Jays after seven-run seventh TORONTO — Adam Lind hit a three-run homer and Scott Rolen added a solo shot in Toronto's seven-run seventh inning in a 10-6 victory over Cleveland on Tuesday. Trailing 6-3 after the Indians scored four times in the top of the seventh, the Blue Jays managed seven runs and six hits off four relievers in the bottom half Tony Sipp replaced Lewis after the second out, but Lind homered into the second deck in right before Rolen homered to left. With one out, Raul Chavez and Travis Snider singled off Rafael Perez. Vinnie Chuk (0-1) walked Marco Scutaro and left after Aaron Hill's two-run single. Alex Rios followed with an RBI single off Jensen Lewis. Cleveland relievers have a combined ERA of 6.49 this season. Brian Wolfe (1-0) worked 2-3 of an inning for the win in his first appearance since being called up from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday. Garza (3-2) allowed three runs and four hits and improved to 6-0 lifetime against the Orioles. Brian Shouse got the first two outs of the ninth, and Troy Percival finished up for his fourth save.

PETERSBURG, Fla. — Matt Garza pitched eight strong innings and major league RBI leader Evan Longoria drove in three runs for Tampa Bay. Longoria's pop-fly double off Koji Uehara (2-2) tied it 3-all in the sixth. He added a two-run single in the seventh that made it 6-3. BJ. Upton ended an 0-for-20 skid, the longest of his career, with an RBI double that put Tampa Bay ahead in the seventh. Slumping Dioner Navarro also provided some timely hitting with a double and single after a 5-for-46 rut. Rangers win by five after being tied at two runs SEATTLE — Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit a grand slam that capped a six-run burst with two outs in the 10th inning off emergency fill-in Denny Stark, and Texas won its fourth straight. Seattle rookie Shawn Kelley entered to begin the 10th, threw three pitches to Elvis Andrus and then fell in pain from a strained muscle on his left side. Stark (0-1) was summoned on no notice and retired the first two batters before the Rangers broke loose. Marlon Byrd and Nelson Cruz had RBI singles before Saltalamacchia hit his second career slam. Texas starter Vicente Padilla allowed one hit and one unearned run in eight innings. Dar ren O'Day (1-0) allowed his first run of the season in the 10th before Frank Francisco finished. Before Frank Francisco insisted Giants put end to Cubs' four-game win streak CHICAGO — Tim Lincecum allowed four hits over seven innings and Bengie Molina hit a three-run homer Tuesday, leading the San Francisco Giants to a 6-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Lincecum (3-1) struck out seven and walked two in ending the Cubs' four-game winning streak. Resting five regulars against Lincecum, the 2008 NL Cy Young winner, Cubs manager Lou Piniella went with a lineup featuring six players who were in the minors as recently as 2007. Among those starting for the Cubs was Bobby Scales, a 31-year-old infielder making his big league debut after spending 11 years in the minors. Scales, who supplements his income by working as a substitute teacher during the offseason, singled in the fifth inning and scored on a single by pitcher Sean Marshall (0-2). Scales ended up going 1-for-4 and struck out to end the game.

"I wrote out the pros and cons of swimming," he said, "and quitting." In the end, swimming won out. Phelps returned to what he does best. Now, he's finished serving a three-month suspension that was doled out by USA Swimming after a picture surfaced in a British tabloid showing him inhaling from a marijuana pipe. Tuesday was the final day of his suspension. Phelps marked it like any other day: He woke up late and headed to the pool. Olympic swimming gold medalist Michael Phelps prepares for his swimming work out Tuesday in Baltimore. Phelps three-month suspension from competition is now over and he marked the occasion like any other day. He woke up late and headed to the pool. "I had no idea," he told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview. 5 Phelps admitted the fallout from the infamous photo made him think twice about whether he wanted to stay in the public eve. "There were days I would just come and warm up and say, 'I'm not feeling it!' I would just go home," he said. "If I wanted to swim slow, I would swim slow. If I didn't want to come, I wouldn't come." ASSOCIATED PRESS But after taking that sheet of paper, drawing a line down the middle, and writing the advantages of swimming on one side and the disadvantages on the other, Phelps got back on course. "What am I doing even thinking about quitting?" he asked himself. "I'm 23 years old. I'm not retiring at 23. I have four more years to my career. I still have things I want to accomplish." Phelps called longtime coach Bob Bowman on March 1 — Bowman remembers the day vividly — and said simply, "I'm doing it." said. "I was concerned that if he did quit, that he did it for the right reasons. Otherwise, it would just be a joke. I have told him, 'You've done all there is to do. If you quit today, you're the greatest of all time. You can walk away.' But I did think it would be bad if he walked away because of this thing. He should go on his own terms." Always one to needle his most famous athlete, Bowman couldn't resist making a joke about the end of the suspension, which limited Phelps to training only and made it tougher to stay motivated. "I was not really concerned whether he would quit or not," Bowman "Oh, good," Bowman said. "He can go to a meet tonight." Actually, he'll return to competition next week at a meet in Charlotte, N.C. It will be his first time swimming competitively since winning eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics. "I'm happy to be back in the water and be back in semi-shape," said Phelpis, who lost almost 20 pounds in the last two months. "I'm sort of getting back into racing shape and getting ready to race my first race since Beijing. We'll see how it goes." In Beijing, Phelps broke Mark Spitz's 36-year-old record of seven gold medals and became the winningest Olympian ever with 14 golds. But the photo of him attending a party in South Carolina during a lengthy break from training cost him one major sponsor and threatened to ruin his image. "It was a stupid mistake that I made," he said during an interview on the deck of the pool at Loyola College in his native Baltimore. "But I'll have what I've accomplished in and out of the pool for the rest of my life" Once he got that resolved, Phelps returned to the plan all along — to keep swimming through the 2012 London Olympics. Although he's not going to attempt eight gold medals again, he will continue to do a program that would be exhausting to most swimmers. Phelps said the whole experience has "shown me who my real friends are. It also given me a lot of time to think. Pretty much since Beijing ended, I didn't really know what I wanted to do." In Charlotte, he'll swim five events: the 50-meter freestyle, 100 free, 200 free, 100 backstroke and 200 butterfly. Only two were on his record-breaking program in Beijing, the 200 free and 200 fly. "I'm feeling good in the water and swimming some decent times in practice," Phelps said. "But I have no idea what to expect in the meet. I'm going in open minded." As for his life away from the pool, Phelps wouldn't discuss tabloid reports that he's dating Miss California, Carrie Prejean, who made headlines of her own last month when she finished runner-up in the Miss USA pageant. Some thought her opposition to legalizing same-sex marriage, which came in response to a question, may have cost her the title. "She's a friend of mine," Phelps said. "But my private life, I want to keep to myself." That said, he can certainly sympathize with what Prejean is going through. "It's tough," he said. "I'm sure it's not fun for her. But we're in America. We have freedom of speech. If she feels that way, she can say it." As for tabloid reports of his supposedly heavy partying, Phelps and said nearly everything written about him was false. "The only thing I can do is laugh about it," he said. "Come on, I do have some common sense. People can say whatever they want. That's just how it is." Not that he hasnt had some high-profile stumbles in his life. After the Athens Olympics, where he won six gold medals and two bronzes. Phelps pleaded guilty to driving while impaired. "I know I have not been perfect by any means," he said. "But I have learned from all of my mistakes. That's all you can ask for." Phelps worked out for more than three hours Thursday, even giving a brief glimpse of the new stroke he'll try out in the 100 free, a windmill motion with his arms that Bowman hopes will provide more speed. He endlessly picked on one of his five training partners, fellow Olympian Katie Hoff, and needled Bowman when the coach gave out some wrong information about the next day's schedule. "It's the old me, the normal me," he said. "I'm coming in, working hard and taking steps toward my goals." And that sheet of paper? He wouldn't reveal what was on it, and there's no need for the tabloid media to go through his trash looking for it. "That," he said, breaking into the sly grin of someone who's learned some valuable lessons about life in the public eye, "went right into the shredder."

R BY JOHN MARSHALL Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — John Buck lined a game-winning single with the bases loaded in the 11th inning and helped the Kansas City Royals complete an 8-7 comeback victory against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night. Kansas City came back from a 4-0 deficit to tie it at 7-all on Billy Butler's run-scorning single in the seventh. Mitch Maier set up the winning run by walking with one out, then went to third on Wille Bloomquist's hit-and-run single off Lance Broadway (0-1). Alberto Callaspo was intentionally walked and Buck lined the next pitch just past third baseman Josh Fields. ASSOCIATED PRESS Juan Cruz (2-0) pitched the 11th and set up Buck's game-winner. Mike Jacobs hit a long three-run homer and Callaspo added a solo shot and a run-scorring double for the Royals, who have won four straight and six of seven. Jermaine Dye and Iosh Fields returned from hand injuries to homer and Scott Podsednik drove in two runs for Chicago, which had 16 hits. A.J. Pierzynski had four hits and Carlos Quentin three, but the White Sox stranded 13 runners on and lost four straight to Kansas City for the first time since 2003. The White Sox staked starter Gavin Floyd to a a 4-1 lead in three innings and he gave it all back, allowing a solo homer to Callapso in the third inning and a 'three-run, 441-foot shot to Jacobs in the fourth. The right-hander ran into trouble again in the sixth inning, chased after a leadoff walk to Jose Guillen and Butler's single. The Royals crept back within one, but Davies gave up another run in the fourth on Carlos Quentin's RBI single and was done after Dye's lead off single in the fifth. Alexei Ramirez followed with a run-scoring single off Robinson Tejeda and Podsednik made it 7-4 with a sacrifice飞。 Kansas City Royals manager Trey Hillman talks to home plate mugger Jerry Crawford during the fifth inning of a baseball game against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday in Kansas City, Mo. MVP James leads Cavs to victory NBA BY TOM WITHERS CAVALS 23 Associated Press CLEVELAND The Cleveland Cavaliers shook off some rust, and then the Atlanta Hawks. Newly crowned MVP LeBron James scored 34 points and the well-rested Cavs, who waited nine days between playoff games after a first-round sweep, pulled away in the second half for a 99-72 victory against the Atlanta Hawks in their Eastern Conference semifinal opener on Tuesday. ASSOCIATED PRESS Showing why he was voted the league's best player in a landslide, James added 10 rebounds, three assists and four steals as the top-seeded Cavs won their fifth straight lopsided game in a postseason that has so far mirrored the best regular season in franchise history. The Cleveland Cavaliers' LeBron James shoots over the Atlanta Hawks' Josh Smith at the end of the second quarter of an NBA basketball Eastern Conference semifinals game Tuesday in Cleveland. Mo Williams added 21 points for Cleveland, which has won each of its five games by double figures. With the Cavs up by 21, James was pulled with 4:29 left — extra down time before Game 2 on Thursday night at Quicken Loans Arena, where the Cavaliers are 42-2. Josh Smith scored 22 and Mike Bibby 19 for the Hawks, who needed seven games to get past Miami and are playing in the second round for the first time in 10 years. James was presented with his MVP trophy before the game by league commissioner David Stern, who complimented the 24-year-old superstar's selflessness, saying "you led the team by playing team first" to get the award. James did that for all 35 minutes on the floor. Perhaps out of sync because of the long layoff, the Cavs were sluggish in the first half and didn't take control until the third Stern's praise was nearly drowned out by more than 20,000 fans chanting "M-V-PI" in another salute to James, the first Cavaliers player to win the award. quarter, when they outscored the Hawks 28-17. As usual, Cleveland relied on its defense to turn things around after halftime. "I think the team knew and I knew the ceremony was going to happen, but we still had a game to play," James said. "We didn't want to rain in the ceremony by not preparing ourselves the best way to come out and play. We had some lapses in the first half, but we got it going in the third and fourth quarter and took care of the game." With the Hawks still within eight, James was all alone on defense but stopped a 2-on-1 by drawing a charge on Joe Johnson. Later in the quarter, Wally Szczerbiak moved his feet to take a charge, a defensive play that had Cavs coach Mike Brown dancing on the sideline as if it was a game-winning shot. Wearing special Nikes to honor his MVP win, James was scary from the outset, starting as though he needed to prove he deserved the award. He dunked on Cleveland's first possession, got his second bucket on a left-handed finger roll and finished the first quarter with 16 points and five rebounds, leading the Cavs to a 25-21 lead. meet the KU RUGBY TEAM Friday at the HAWK 8pm-2am meet the KU RUGBY TEAM Friday at the HAWK 8pm-2am STOP DAY PARTY at the Barrel House Drinks Specials $3 Legends Cocktail $3 Honor $3 Blvd pints $3 Jager Bombs FIRST 100 PEOPLE WILL HAVE FREE COVER AND ACCESS TO THE VIP AREA SIGN A LEGENDS LEASE THIS WEEK AND GET ONE MONTH FREE RENT AND A VIP PASS Legends Place smartstudentliving.com 4101 W. 24th Place, Lawrence, KS 66047 (785) 856-5848 STOP DAY PARTY at the Barrel House Drinks Specials $3 Legends Cocktail $3 Honor $3 Blvd pints $3 Jager Bombs FIRST 100 PEOPLE WILL HAVE FREE COVER AND ACCESS TO THE VIP AREA SIGN A LEGENDS LEASE THIS WEEK AND GET ONE MONTH FREE RENT AND A VIP PASS Legends Place smart student living.com 4101 W. 24th Place, Lawrence, KS 66047 (785) 856-5848 8B CLASSIFIEDS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, MAY 6, 2009 KANSANCLASSIFIEDS HOME housing SALE for sale announcements Mega Mouth ... 785-864-4358 jobs HOUSING textbooks BOOKS I need to find a place that is close to campus and affordable, preferably under 400. for the summer.

Woods said he was still regaining his power with his drivers and irons after recovering from knee surgery. PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — So much about Tiger Woods after major knee surgery looks the same. He won at Bay Hill with a birdie putt on the last hole that everyone knew he was going to make. Even when his swing was out of sorts last week at Quail Hollow, he somehow was in the thick of contention until the final two holes. But this is not the same Tiger Woods. He is missing his power, whether it's off the tee with a driver or from the fairway with irons that are sometimes two more clubs than what he used before surgery last June to rebuild his left knee. ASSOCIATED PRESS The power shortage was never more evident than the final round of the Masters, playing with Phil Mickelson, when Woods usually was the first to hit from the fairway. Even his rival couldn't help but notice. "I kept having to wait for him to hit," Mickelson jokingly said Tuesday. That wasn't the case the last time they played together at Augusta National, the final round in 2001, when on some holes Woods hit it farther with a 3-wood than Mickelson did with a driver. More evidence came last week at Quail Hollow. By measuring drives on the 56 holes that were not per 3s, Mickelson's average tee shot was nearly 14 yards longer than Woods'. Statistics can be misleading, especially over the first two rounds because they played on opposite ends of the draw. But in the third round, when they were separated by one group, Mickelson was longer off the tee on 11 of the 14 driving holes. Lefty's average drive was 317.6 yards. Woods was at 300.5 yards. Woods has an answer for his sudden loss of length. "Hopefully, soon," he said. "I've been away from the game for a long time," he said Tuesday, referring to his eight-month lay-off after the U.S. Open. "And it's going to take a little bit of time before my body gets back to where I can hit the ball the same distances. I don't hit the ball the same distance with my irons or my driver." What he doesn't have an answer for is when he will get it back. Woods said at Quail Hollow that he was just starting to get some "pop" back in the swing, which had been missing earlier in the year. He spoke about the rotation required to generate speed in his swing, and the importance of not stretching the ligament. He noticed the difference his first tournament back in Arizona. "I just didn't have the pop in my body, nor should I," he said. "It takes time for anyone who has a reconstruction (of the ACL) to come back and get the speed back and the agility and all those different things. Most athletes take over a year to get back. With my sport, I've been able to get back sooner than that, just because of the nature of my sport." Distance is not an issue at The Players Championship, where the TPC Sawgrass is only 7,215 yards. Like most property in Florida, it's all about location. Even so, Woods bristled at the suggestion from NBC Sports analyst Johnny Miller that he would be better off using a 3-wood to navigate the Stadium Course. Remember, he used only one driver in winning the British Open at Royal Liverpool in 2006. Then again, the links course was dry and brown, and the only water on the course was in bottles for drinking. "We've got par 5s out here. You've got to be able to use it," Woods said. "If Johnny says you can't hit drivers on 9 and 11, you're giving up two opportunities to get close to the green."

WHERE DO THEY GO FROM HERE? Rough job markets take bigger toll on CLAS graduates VOLUME 120 ISSUE 151 Chris Wenske, Overland Park senior and CLAS major, posts flyers promoting a band signed to Jondo Records, a record label he recently started. Wenske, like many others set to graduate from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, faces an uphill battle landing a job with his degree, as he will likely have to explain how his major and skills make him more valuable for a job than other candidates with specific degrees from other schools with a more defined focus. RACHEL BURCHFIELD rburchfield@kansan.com Renee Whaley has a daily routine. She wakes up, takes a shower and sits down in front of the computer. She logs onto the Lawrence Journal-World Web site and looks for jobs in Lawrence. Then she skims CareerBuilder and Monster. If a job looks promising, she edits her resume to fit the particular job. Then she'll work on cover letters. Then she'll fill out some applications. "I get asked," Will my kid be able to find a job with a history major?' and the answer is yes." That advice to Whaley, a 2008 graduate in philosophy, may be just as valuable to the more than 2,500 The routine often wears her out. "It really is exhausting toward the end of the day," Whaley said. "I didn't do anything, but it's so mentally frustrating that toward the end of the day I'll end up in tears. My husband will say, "You need to calm down." students who are set to graduate this month with their own liberal arts degrees. With a tight job market, it may take several months or longer to find a job. Plus, average salaries for liberal arts degrees have fallen slightly in the past few months. Students graduating with liberal arts degrees in 2009 can expect to earn on average $36,445 annually, about $300 less than what it was for the class of "I get asked, 'Will my kid be able to find a job with a history major?' and the answer is yes," said Joseph Steinmetz, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. "Somebody who has a more general, rounded background and is prepared for changes are those who are likely to find employment and are the ones likely to have the background to impress employers when they have to shift careers." 2008, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers. By comparison, the average starting salary for all bachelor's degree graduates is $49,353 per year. Steinmetz and others believe questions about the value of a liberal arts degree should be focused on the long term and include concerns about whether the degree will help graduates do work they enjoy and pay career and financial rewards during their lives. Recruiters say a liberal arts degree offers job possibilities in dozens of fields. A recent survey of business leaders by the Association of American Colleges and Universities found that 69 percent rated the skills gained through a liberal arts education as "very important." "They have analytical skills — the idea that a liberal arts graduate is going to have a well-rounded education, and is able to generalize — which makes them a good candidate for quite a few jobs," said Liz Caldwell, University Career Center recruitment coordinator. "In talking to recruiters, these are things that they're looking for."

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Haiti has turned away a Mexican ship carrying desperately needed food aid because of swine flue fears. Mexican Ambassador Zadalinda Gonzalez y Reynero said Haitian officials asked April 29 for the ship to come to the impoverished Caribbean nation "on another occasion." The Mexican navy ship was to arrive May 2 in Port-au-Prince with 77 tons of rice, fertilizer and emergency food kits. The ambassador said Wednesday that the cargo and 64-member crew had been screened and showed no signs of infection. But it never left Mexican waters.

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. — Authorities trying to find a 3-year-old kidnap victim say they're investigating several theories, including that the Spanish-speaking kidnappers were from Mexico and may have had ties to organized crime there. Authorities along the Mexican border were on alert and FBI agents were helping in the investigation into the disappearance of Briant Rodriguez.

The purpose of moot court is to simulate presenting a case in front of the Supreme Court, where there is no jury present, only judges. The four third-year law students participating have been preparing for the competition since December. Beau Jackson. Ben Sharp. Christina Elmore and Carrie Bader will be the first team to represent the University at the world-level of this competition. The team is coached by Raj Bhala, the Raymond F. Rice Distinguished Professor of Law. Each spring the School of Law has an in-house moot court competition, Bader, who is from Prairie Village, said the competition generally dealt with a U.S. constitutional problem. She said the idea was to mimic a case that would go before the U.S. Supreme Court. This year, there were close to 50 teams that competed in the in-house competition. The top few teams make up the moot court council, and those teams go to different national competitions. This team advanced to the final round of the North American regional, March 12 in Washington, D.C., which qualified them for the international finals. "The moot court experience is meant to simulate what it would be like in front of a panel of judges at an appellate level." Elmore, who is from Larned, said. Elmore said another advantage of moot court was that it helped prepare students for what lawyers do in every day practice. She said often times law classes focused on learning the law through books, while moot court provided experience in public speaking. "I know I can go into a court room and argue my case in front of a judge and I'll be fine," Bader said. "It gives you a lot of confidence." Jackson, who is from Andover, said the ELSA moot court competition involved law students from around the world who compete and present a hypothetical legal problem that would take place at the World Trade Organization. He said the nature of the problem they have to solve for this year's competition is similar to real world problems that come up in international trade. The team is preparing arguments for both sides of a mock case about two countries that have opposing viewpoints on international trade. One country is putting up restrictions on products it thinks damages the environment. The other country specializes in exporting those particular products. It is experiencing difficulty exporting its products to countries and is losing money because the other country has put up barriers on letting these products in. "That's what makes it tricky," Jackson said. "You have to be able to do both sides." To prepare for the competition, Elmore said the team had been practicing with attorneys in the Kansas City area. She said the attorneys helped by grilling them with questions similar to the ones that would be asked by the panel of judges at the international finals. The team will be competing against 19 teams from each continent in Taipei. Bader said each time they argue, three of the four members would have 35 minutes to present their case and answer questions asked by the panel. She said Jackson and Sharp would speak each time because they specialized in international law during their time in law school. Either Bader or Elmore will be the third group member to speak depending on the argument. Bader said the team invested a lot of time practicing for the upcoming competition. She said she had no prior knowledge or experience with international trade law, and had to do a lot of research and self-educating on the topic. She said learning about it has been fascinating. "it's been an eye-opening experience for me," Bader said. "It's something I never intended to learn about, but I'm glad I did." Although the team's goal is to win the competition, Jackson said it was important to represent the University well. "It's definitely an honor to be representing KU," Jackson said. "We have great faculty to teach us in this area. They have prepared us really well." Edited by Heather Melanson INTERNATIONAL Iraqi smuggler claims he was helping government BY MIKE BAKER Associated Press RALEIGH, N.C. — A defense contractor charged with trying to smuggle firearms out of Iraq claimed Blackwater guards asked him to help get rid of weapons after a deadly 2007 shooting in Baghdad, two government informants have said in court documents. The contractor told one of the informants that Blackwater guards wanted to dispose of the weapons before an investigation into the September 2007 shooting that left several civilians dead, according to a criminal complaint filed in the smuggling case. The contractor, John Houston, did not work for Blackwater. Both informants, whose names weren't revealed by federal investigators, were Army reservists stationed in Iraq. Houston approached them for help with smuggling, the complaint states, and one of them tipped off investigators about the scheme. Five Blackwater guards face manslaughter and weapons charges in the shooting, which prosecutors say was an unprovoked attack on civilians.

LAWRENCE Crime rate 'spike' may be deceiving The numbers haven't been compiled yet BY ALEXANDRA GARRY Jennifer McColllum, a medical investigator at the Douglas County coroner's office, said her office had not experienced a spike in crimes but that students might perceive an increase. agarry@kansan.com Several high-profile court cases in recent months have involved students. Former student Cem Basoflas, from Istanbul, Turkey, was prosecuted for animal cruelty in February. In combination with several sexual assaults, consistent cases of criminal damage and three student deaths, many students have noticed a perceived spike in crime since January and compared with last spring semester. But Lawrence police and other officials say it's too early to tell because crime statistics for this year have not yet been compiled. Still, the popular perception may not be true, said Sgt. Bill Cory, Lawrence police public information officer. "The numbers may show an increase or even a decrease in crime; we don't know yet," Cory said, "but right off the bat, nothing jumps out at me." "It doesn't seem out of the ordinary to us, but it may to students because it's all happening so quickly and all around the University," McCollum said. Adam Paulitsch, St. Louis graduate student, knows what it's like to be the victim of a crime. Paulitsch woke up to a "shocking" sight Saturday morning — someone had moved his car, which had been parked outside his apartment in the 900 block of Alabama Street, down the street, stolen his stereo system from within the car and slashed the car's tires. Paulitsch described seeing his car as surprising at first, but he said that the more he thought about it, the less he was surprised — especially with his apartment's location near several student-oriented bars. "I always keep an eye on the drunk people who walk by to see if they do anything to my car," Paulitsch said. "With "The numbers may show an increase or even a decrease in crime; we don't know yet." SGT. BILL CORY Lawrence police all the crime this semester, I've realized something was bound to happen sometime." As the semester winds down next week, Cory said students such as Paulitsch could take precautions to help protect themselves from becoming more victims of Lawrence crime. Cory said a major part of preventing victimization was to be aware of the surroundings at all times and to keep from becoming too intoxicated to control a situation. Cory said Lawrence police weren't bracing themselves for a spike in crime but were planning to handle any crimes that did occur over Stop Day and finals week. "We know there are certain times of the year that there will be a lot of gatherings, a lot of people out and about. We will be out in force to enforce the laws," he said.

Once in the lab, specimens are tagged, photographed and logged into a database. Before being shelved, they are put in glass jars with a mix of 70 percent ethyl alcohol to ensure preservation. Bentley said the museum used about 10 55-gallon drums of the preservative each year. The alcohol preserves the specimens for upwards of hundreds of years. The museum has to have a special permit in order to buy and use the pure ethyl alcohol. "You could drink it," Bentley said. "You could literally take a tiny little bit and put it in punch and it would be like drinking alcohol." After working tion for ten years, Bentley said, he couldn't even smell the sharp scent emitted by the alcohol. Bentley said the collection was growing by about 5 to 10 percent each year and that "People are finding specimens in our collection ... that turn out to be a new species." ANDREW BENTLEY Collection manager Bentley said the job of a collection manager had become more there were about 750,000 fish from 70 countries housed in the collection, and 350,000 reptiles and amphibians. involved in recent years He said now he and other collector "My job as collection manager used to be thought of as a glorified bottle shuffler," Bentley said. "Essentially all you did was shuffle bottles around and fill them up with alcohol." managers were more focused on research and working with databases. Bentley offers free tours of the collection to students, staff, school groups and the general public. He said the materials within the collection were being used for research all around the world. "It functions very much as a book library," Bentley said. "We get visitors coming into the collection and using material here. We also loan materials out to people. We'll take the specimens out of the jars, wrap them in cheesecloth, wet them down, double seal them in plastic, stick them in a box and ship them out." Brian Oberheide, Paola junior and wet collection assistant, said the collection's main function was to act as a research resource. "They also allow us to compare specimens from the past with recent specimens, and specimens that have yet to be discovered," Oberheide said. Bentley said new species were constantly being discovered. "People are finding specimens in our collection that were collected 30 years ago that turn out to be new species." Bentley said. Bentley said researchers were using data collected in the wet lab to create models to predict the distribution of species throughout time. "The data now is becoming a lot more important than the species themselves" Bentley said. David McLeod, lecturer and doctoral student, said the specimens in the collection were important because the research had reached a global scale. "Like seeing an original copy of a Shakespearean work or an ancient manuscript, I'm always mindful of the fact that there was someone hundreds of years ago collecting and preserving this animal that I'm now working with." McLeod said. "Where else can you go and see global diversity in one room?" Edited by Melissa Johnson TRANSIT (CONTINUED FROM 1A) the city received $2.9 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which will be used for such transit-related projects. Toomay said using alternative fuels was important for two reasons. "Public transportation can be an environmentally responsible mode of transportation by reducing the number of cars on the road," Toomay said. "Using alternative fuels can further reduce emissions and greenhouse gases." The city also hired a new public transit administrator, Robert Nugent. David Corliss, city manager, said Nugent was selected after a nationwide recruitment effort. Corliss said Nugent was selected because of his experience and skill in transit administration. "Robert has transit experience in larger communities and with communities that have a strong university presence," Corliss said. "He has a strong sense of the value of public transit in a community, including the importance of cooperation with university transit systems." Nugent said he accepted the offer because the position was a good fit for him. Nugent said he wanted to help Lawrence increase ridership by promoting the transit systems as a system for everyone. "I've always liked the university environment," Nugent said. "It was my opportunity to really apply everything I knew about transit." "I think there's an opportunity to get the people who don't ride or haven't ridden in the past or haven't ridden a lot," Nugent said. "We might be able to get them on board and try it out, see if they like it a little bit. We can probably move forward with that pretty quick." Nugent said alternative fuels were a good option when the industry could provide a dependable vehicle. "Some of the manufacturers are producing a very good hybrid electric right now," Nugent said. "They are a little more costly, but so what? On the other hand it's saving us money with the environment." POLITICS Toomay said the city was ready to proceed with the purchase of the vehicles and the city commission will officially approve the purchase order this summer. Maine approves same-sex marriage Edited by Heather Melanson BY GLENN ADAMS Associated Press AUGUSTA, Maine — Jennifer Curran could only sit in the pews of her Roman Catholic church over the years and watch as bride after bride — friends, her two sisters — walked down the aisle. Now that her home state of Maine has approved same-sex marriage, she's looking forward to inviting them to sit on the sidelines in a congregational church and watch her marry Carolyn Thompson, her partner of nine years. "It's been such a long time in coming," said Curran, 41, of Falmouth. "I want to stand up in my church, surrounded by friends and family, and say, 'I do.'" Maine Gov. John Baldacci gestures after signing a gay rights marriage bill in his office at the State House in Augusta, Maine, on Wednesday. On Wednesday Maine became the fifth state to approve gay marriage in a cliffhanger that was resolved when Democratic Gov. John Baldacci, who hadn't indicated his plans, signed the freshly passed legislation behind closed doors. New Hampshire's legislature voted soon afterward to allow gay marriage, but Gov. John Lynch hasn't indicated whether he would sign it. If he does or lets it become law without his signature, Rhode Island would be the region's sole holdout. Both bills specify that religious institutions are not compelled to recognize same-sex marriages. The vote by the Maine Senate was 21-13, with one lawmaker absent. The bill authorizes marriage between any two people rather than between one man and one woman, as state law currently allows. The House had passed the bill Tuesday. "In the past, I opposed gay marriage while supporting the idea of civil unions," Baldacci said in a statement read in his office. "I have come to believe that this is a question of fairness and of equal protection under the law, and that a civil union is not equal to civil marriage." MAINE The law is to take effect in mid-September but could be sidetracked before then. Opponents promise to challenge it through a public veto process that could suspend it while a statewide vote takes shape. A professor at the University of Maine, the 64-year old Estler said she sent an e-mail to out-of-state friends and family members Wednesday saying "Oh, my god. The governor just signed the bill." "But I said, 'Don't make your travel plans for the wedding yet. There's still probably a referendum to go.'" she said. Legislative debate was brief. Republican Sen. Debra Plowman of Hampden argued that the bill was being passed "at the expense of the people of faith." "You are making a decision that is not well-founded," warned Plowman. But Senate Majority Leader Philip Bartlett II said the bill does not compel religious institutions to recognize gay marriage. "We respect religious liberties ... This is long overdue," said Bartlett, D-Gorham. ASSOCIATED PRESS The activist group Gay & Lesbian Advocates and Defenders has targeted all six New England states for passage of a gay marriage law by 2012, noting its porous borders, shared media markets and a largely shared culture. CRIME CRIME Gunman fatally shoots student in Connecticut MIDDLETOWN, Conn. — A disguised gunman fatally shot a Wesleyan University student at a popular bookstore near campus Wednesday before fleeing into the downtown of this central Connecticut city. "At this point in time, we don't have information to suggest that people should be concerned, other than the general vigilance that everyone should use on any given day," Middletown police Lt. Margaret Liseo said after campus warnings were eased. Police wearing camouflage and armed with assault rifles swarmed area streets with dogs as they searched for the gunman while Wesleyan officials urged students and staff to remain indoors. The gunman remained at large Wednesday night. Police said the victim died at Middlesex Hospital. Authorities would not identify her, pending notification of her family. Authorities found a wig used by the gunman. Liseo said they also found a gun but haven't confirmed that it was the weapon used in the shooting. The shooting and manhunt forced police to order hundreds of college students gathered nearby for Wesleyan's annual Spring Fling to seek refuge.

Years later, as the nation's first face transplant recipient, she's stepped forward to show the rest of the world what she looks like now. Her expressions are still a bit wooden, but she can talk, smile, smell and taste her food again. Her speech is at times a little tough to understand. Her face is bloated and squarish. Her skin droops in big folds that doctors plan to pare away as her circulation improves and her nerves grow, animating her new muscles. But Culp had nothing but praise for those who made her new face possible. ference at the Cleveland Clinic, where the groundbreaking operation was performed.

The breakthrough came at about 4 a.m., said Dan Totten, president of the Newspaper Guild. Boston Globe to settle with union BY MARK PRATT Associated Press BOSTON — The Boston Globe and its largest employees union reached a tentative agreement early Wednesday morning on concessions that will keep the 137-year-old newspaper publishing, the union president said. The breakthrough came at about 4 a.m., said Dan Totten, president of the Newpaper Guild. He did not release details pending a meeting with Guild members scheduled for Thursday. "Out of respect for our members, the Guild and the New York Times Co. have agreed not to release details until Guild leaders have a chance to meet with our members," Totten said. Globe spokesman Robert Powers said in a statement that details would not be released until Thursday. The Guild represents about 700 editorial, business and advertising staff. The company had set a deadline of midnight Sunday to reach an agreement with its unions to make $20 million in cuts or close the Boston Globe. The Times Co. struck agreements with six of seven unions before the deadline, but even though talks with the Guild stalled, management backed off its threat to file a notice required by federal law to begin the process of shutting down the newspaper. The Guild has offered a 3.5 percent pay cut, plus three unpaid furlough days, for a total salary reduction of just under 5 percent. It said its offer represents more than the $10 million in concessions sought. The Globe had proposed to slash wages by 23 percent to gain concessions of $10 million and keep the financially-strapped newspaper from closing. The two sides resumed talks Tuesday evening at a location outside Boston. The Times Co. also sought to change its lifetime job guarantees, a key sticking point. At least one of the smaller unions agreed to changes in the guarantees for its members, but Totten called ending that job protection a "non-starter" structure. 245N STATE Kathleen Sebelius leaves the Kansas Statehouse in Topeka escorted by a security officer Tuesday, April 28. Sebelius won Senate confirmation Tuesday as the nation's health and human services secretary, thrusting her into the middle of a public health emergency with the swine flu sickening dozens of Americans. ASSOCIATED PRESS Swine flu confirmed in K.C. area BY JOHN MILBURN Associated Press TOPEKA—State health officials confirmed two new cases of swine flu Wednesday, both in the Kansas City area, bringing the total number of confirmed cases in Kansas to seven. The sample was sent Friday, Health department spokeswoman Kansas Department of Health and Environment officials also have identified a probable case of swine flu in Johnson County, in the Kansas City area. They are awaiting test results from the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta. Maggie Thompson said her agency may be able to test a sample using new test kits sent by the federal labs, which would expedite the confirmation process if necessary. The new Kansas cases involve a child and adult in Wyandotte County. The health department did not provide additional details about the residents or how the contracted the virus. The agency said investigations and interviews are being conducted. The new cases bring the number of confirmed cases in the Kansas City area to 10 — four in Kansas and six in Missouri. An additional six probable cases of swine flu in Missouri are in the Kansas City area. Meanwhile, Gov. Mark Parkinson and some legislators were trying to reinforce the idea that pork is safe to eat. They planned to join members of the Kansas Pork Association on Wednesday at a pork lunch in Topeka. Health officials have stated that the swine flu cannot be transmitted by eating or handling pork products and poses no threat to the nation's food supply. The strain of influenza is a mix of pig, human and bird viruses. The pork industry has argued against referring to the disease as "swine" flu, and the U.S. government and the World Health Organization have complied, instead calling it "H1N1." At Wichita State University, concerns about the flu have led officials to alter graduation ceremonies. The Wichita Eagle reported Wednesday that new graduates won't be receiving handshakes from the school's president or deans at commencement ceremonies May 15 and 16. Students will receive diplomas and have their pictures taken as they cross the stage, Provost Gary Miller said, but the most they can expect from administrators will be a smile and possibly a pat on the back. Jailed American journalist ends hunger strike Associated Press BY ALI AKBAR DAREINI TEHRAN, Iran — An American journalist jailed in Iran on charges of spying for the U.S. has ended her two-week hunger strike for health reasons, her father said Wednesday. Roxana Saberi, a 32-year-old dual Iranian-American national was convicted last month of espionage and sentenced to eight years in prison after a one-day trial behind closed doors. The U.S. government has called the charges against her "baseless" and demanded she be freed. Iran has promised a complete review of the case on appeal and insisted Saberi will be allowed to provide a full defense at that point, possibly an indication it wants to ease the tensions with PETER S. SHERMAN "Roxana called last night to inform me that she has ended her hunger strike," her father Reza Saberi told The Associated Press. "I'm relieved that she has done so to avoid a deterioration of her health." Saberi's case has been an irritant in U.S.-Iran relations at a time when the Obama administration has said it wants to engage its longtime adversary in a dialogue. The case has also drawn the concern of press freedom groups. ASSOCIATED PRESS But Iranian officials denied several times during the past two weeks that Saberi was even on a hunger strike.

The American journalist convicted of spying in Iran had gone on a hunger strike to protest her imprisonment, said her father, right, back to camera. Media freedom group Reporters Without Borders said she was briefly hospitalized on Friday in Evin prison, where she has been held since her arrest in January, after she intensified her hunger strike by refusing to drink water. "My wife and I met her in Evin prison Monday morning and gave her some yogurt. We asked her to stop the hunger strike," he said. Saberi's Iranian-born father said Roxana began a hunger strike April 21 to protest her imprisonment, vowing to keep it up until she was freed. Saberi was born in New Jersey and raised in Fargo, North Dakota. She moved to Iran six years ago and worked as a freelance journalist for news organizations including National Public Radio and the U.S. On Tuesday, the judiciary said the appeal will be heard next week and judiciary officials have suggested her jail term could be reduced. "The press freedom organization continues to call for the appeal against her conviction to be given a fair hearing and not any sham proceedings," the statement read. She was arrested in late January and initially accused of working without press credentials.

The students were English majors attending a Careers for English Majors Panel hosted by the department of English and the University Career Center. The nearly full house of students listened as three women with English degrees dispensed advice. "Your degree does not entitle you to a job," said Lindsey Rood, an event coordinator for Epic Entertainment, Inc. in Kansas City, Mo. "You still have to work after you get a degree to get a job." After she graduated from the University with her English degree in December 2006, it took five months before she started her first professional job. "It doesn't stop with getting your degree," Rood said. "You have a great skill set from earning your degree, but you have to market yourself. You have to utilize the skills you've gained." Ashley Schulte graduated from the University in May 2008 and took a "very long road" to finding her first professional job six months after graduation. "I know no one's dying to live in their parents' basement, but it's possible." Schulte said. She interviewed for about 10 jobs before becoming a relationship specialist at Farmer's Insurance in Olathe. Looking back, she said, she wished she had been more aggressive and had focused her job search to one region, but she was glad that she marketed her English degree the best she could. TOP 10 WORK VALUES EMPLOYERS LOOK FOR 1. Strong work ethic "English majors have such an 2. Dependable and responsible 3. Possessing a positive attitude 4. Adaptability 5. Honesty and integrity 6. Self-motivated 7. Motivated to grow and earn learn 8. Strong self-confidence Source: Loretto, 2008 10. Loyalty advantage in this world, you have no idea," Schulte said. "You have a better understanding in general of how to communicate." Chris McKitterick, a lecturer in English who received undergraduate and graduate degrees in creative writing before spending years working in the tech industry, told the audience in the Union to assume there would be twists and turns in any career. He said he initially thought he was over his head in the tech industry — he hated computers, after all — but because he had a good background in communications, he was able to ask good questions and figure it out. "The skills you've gotten as an English major are respected by the tech field, because you're able to do things they can't do," McKitterick said. "Becoming a tech something-or-other does not mean that you're giving up who you are." Caldwell, of the University Career Center, said some liberal arts graduates think their degrees are inferior though they shouldn't. "Offentimes they'll go in with the attitude of 'Well, I'm sorry I don't have a business degree' or I'm sorry I don't have a journalism degree' when they may in fact have skills equal to or better than someone else but they haven't quite learned how to package it, how to translate those skills and experience and education into a skill set that the employer is looking for," Caldwell said. Megan Hill, UCC associate director, said that because students in liberal arts were not focused on one subject but rather many, they made themselves more marketable to emplovers. --- "With specialized training, they are so focused on one topic;" Hill said. "Students with that background may be really, really good at one thing but may not have developed their skills as well as a liberal arts graduate." But this puts more pressure on a liberal arts student than a professional student, said Ann Hartley, UCC associate director. "They have to learn how to sell it," Hartley said. "There's a lot more personal responsibility put on them to market themselves to employers. An accounting major can say 'Hey, I have an accounting degree.'" Caldwell said that when job searching, it was important to look at the skills an employer is looking for rather than the degree listed as preferred. She said a struggling economy requires students to use creativity and flexibility in their search process. "There are so many positions in so many degree areas, whether it be language, English, history or whatever," Caldwell said. "Those skills can be brought to bear in occupations that run such a wide range. There really is a whole world of possibilities out there." --being taught in the class, it opened his eyes to a stark reality that he didn't like. Chris Wenske, Overland Park senior, is enrolled in Hartley's "Job Search Strategies" class, which is taught through the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Although Wenske said he liked what was "When May 17 comes, I know everything I've done — every effort I've put into it — will help me move on to my next goal." CHRIS WENSKE Overland Park senior "It's kind of messed with my whole mindset," Wenske said. "This class teaches you how to write resumes, search for jobs, interview for jobs, but the underlying tone is this is how you kiss ass, this is how you fall in line, this is how you work for a major corporation. You have to know people, you have to do this and that. It's nothing about desire and passion and glory. It's nothing about that. It's all about trying to work your way up through the ranks of the corporate ladder, and I don't necessarily agree with that." So Wenske has already started his own company, a record label called Jondo Records. "My lifelong goal is to have a big company like Warner Brothers," he said. "I want to have a company like that, based on real morals and values. I think my purpose in life is to use what I know and the knowledge I've attained to really help people and to better the environment around me." Jenny Terrell/KANSAN Jondo's first event is a benefit concert at the Record Bar in Kansas City, Mo., on May 17, the same day Wenske will walk down the hill for commencement. Chris Wenske, Overland Park senior, discusses a developing business plan with Maggie Bornholdt, a consultant with the University of Kansas Small Business Development Center near downtown Lawrence. Wenske, who has been meeting with Bornholdt weekly since early April, said the center helped him anticipate business problems he could encounter after graduation. "I'll walk down the hill and go straight to my event," he said. "When May 17 comes, I know everything I've done — every effort I've put into it — will help me move on to my next goal."

He said he never thought he would use skills from the math classes he was required to take to graduate, but math has actually helped him the most when he has completed business deals for Jondo. His liberal arts degree taught him to plan more for what is to come, he said. As the dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Steinmetz said a goal of the curriculum was to prepare students for change and how to handle that change, especially because employment agencies predict people will have as many as nine different jobs in their lifetimes. "I think we've developed the liberal arts curriculum such that students are exposed to a wide variety of topics and subjects and majors and minors and all kinds of things students can take," Steinmetz said. "The idea is, really, the careers students choose are probably going to change many, many times over a person's working life." "My liberal arts degree allowed me to think in a different way," Wenske said. "Instead of focusing on one subject, I could expand on many subjects, and I apply that to my decision making now." --studies, Steinmetz said. Steinmetz said the college develops graduates who have enhanced creativity and great problem-solving skills. "That's the best approach to a college education," he said. A liberal arts education is also a good stepping-stone for graduate studies. Steinmetz He called liberal arts students more inquisitive and risk-takers, and that, with 5,000 classes in 53 departments offered through the college, liberal arts students are given a wide variety of options. But this can "The old adage is 'a jack of all trades and a master of none', and there's a problem in that." Steinmetz said. "You have to have depth." be a problem for some students, Steinmetz said, as it can lead to a lack of focus if not handled correctly. --- Jennifer Jordan, director of Business Career Services for the School of Business, was once a liberal arts student. She now works for a school that, despite being a professional school, still has a heavy concentration in the college. "Even our business graduates have a strong liberal arts basis in their degree requirements, which I think employers value," Jordan said. She said that students in professional schools have the advantage of a specifically defined career path and there is usually a very intact and structured recruiting process. She said liberal arts students might have to put forth more effort in their job searches, but in some ways, a liberal arts student's job search process can be very similar to a professional school student's. Lisa Moore, who graduated in May 2008 from the School of Fine Arts with a degree in textile design, said having a specialized degree does not guarantee a job. She said she is becoming more aware of this every day as her year-long appointment with AmeriCorps in New York City nears its end in June. She expects to be right back where she started when she began job hunting last year. "In all instances, the job seeker must know themselves, know the type of position they are seeking and how they as a candidate align with that role, know the organization, and have a polished manner in which they are presenting themselves," Jordan said. "I'll probably have just as much difficulty as everyone graduating." Moore said. "It's been kind of rough. If I knew what I knew now I would have gone straight into work. I could have easily gotten a job in textile design. I just chose to do AmeriCorps because I thought it would be very beneficial for me as a person." Now, she said, she is back in the difficult situation of finding a job - except she is not in Kansas anymore. She wants to continue working for nonprofit organizations and would like to work with LGBT youth, she said. Moore said her professional degree set her apart from liberal arts students because the work she was doing for classes would be exactly the work she would have done for a designer had she chosen to pursue textile design. She said that liberal arts students had more freedom than the specialized curriculum of the School of Fine Arts — but it was how that freedom was used that mattered. "You have a great skill set from earning your degree,but you have to market yourself. You have to utilize the skills you've gained." LINDSEY ROOD 2006 alumna "It is really tough right now, but people need to learn their strengths," Moore said. "They need to play up their strengths a lot.

Living with parents again may be far from the top of a graduate's list of things to do after walking down the hill, but the current job market is making that possibility a more likely fate for many soon-to-be graduates. Liz Caldwell, recruitment coordinator for the University Career Center, recom- mends that students still searching for jobs look at the skills an employer is looking for rather than the preferred degree type.

She said employers looked at the education section of her resume, saw that she had a philosophy degree, and gave her the brush-off. Renee Whaley said finding a job comes down to one thing: being able to sell yourself. "If you can sell yourself, great," Whaley said. "If you can't, it's going to be an issue. I'm not a good person with selling myself. I'm not an entrepreneur in that sense — I don't know how to go about doing that." Whale graduated from the University in August 2008 with a degree in philosophy. When she graduated she lost her student hourly job as a circulation clerk at "It was really disappointing," Whalley said. "My whole life had been just reduced to a little line on my resume. In my heart of hearts I knew it meant so much more than that, I had to get But four months later, after Trabon laid her off because the company was going bankrupt. Whaley found herself unemployed for the second time. past that and show on paper a little bit better what I did." "I know no one's dying to live in their parents' basement, but it's possible." Three months after she graduated, Whaley found a job at Trabon Solutions, a strategic and technical consulting firm, in late November. "This time around, I feel less depressed than the first time" Whaley said. "It's not me, it's just the state of things right now." So it was back to the job search for Whaley, who admitted that this ground, she wasn't looking as hard as she was immediately after her graduation. She is taking some time, she said, to improve herself as a person — she's been crocheting, learning to play the clarinet and focusing on the domestic upkeep of the home she shares with her husband. But she is still looking, nonetheless. She is currently seeking a part-time job and hopes to work 20 to 30 hours per week. "I've kind of pushed it out of my head that I'm going to find a career-launching job," Whaley said. "That's kind of hard to let go of. You want every job you get to count toward something." Yet, she said, it is nowhere near as bad as it could be. Recently, she has been reading about the Great Depression. It made her realize that things aren't as ominous as they seem. She hasn't lost her house or possessions because of the economic downturn. She is okay, she said. "I am hopeful" she said. "I am very hopeful."

Kate Beaver TELEVISION 'Idol' stage mishaps injure crew member before show ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — The "American Idol" final four paired off to channel their inner rock stars Tuesday. The result? Some shined, some stumbled. The remaining four singers performed duets along with their solos on the rock-themed show. But before the live telecast even began, they suffered a backset of sorts when a pair of mishaps — including a stage manager's injury and the collapse of one of "idol" towers flanking the stage — And some things just tumbled. slashed their chances at a proper run-through. Fox publicist Jill Hudson referred inquiries to on-air comments by host Ryan Seacrest, who opened the show by saying: "We have had an unconventional day ... unfortunately we had an accident earlier here on our stage, but it didn't end there." Seacrest then pointed out the tower that had careened into a glittering "American Idol" oval and knocked it askew, saying that following an earlier "accident," the structure "started to collapse, just a few moments before dress It wasn't immediately clear if the tower collapse had anything to do with the crew member's injury. Fox didn't name the crew member, but said she had a mishap during rehearsal "and was immediately taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure." rehearsal. Glass was popping everywhere? Seacrest again revealed a little more on his Twitter page, saying that the stage manager, who he referred to only as "Debbie," fell during rehearsal and was "doing much better."

CELEBRITY '24' star Sutherland accused of head-butting Jack McCollough, of the Proenza Schouler fashion house, reported the incident happened around 2 a.m. Tuesday and says he was cut on his face. McColough claimed Sutherland, star of Fox television's "24", attacked him after an argument at the club, according to a law enforcement official. The official said detectives are planning to interview Sutherland, and possibly actress Brooke Shields, who may have witnessed the incident. Associated Press Gifts for your Biggest Fan 9. The Etc.

Well, almost. The conclusion of finals next week marks the beginning of Summer 2009 for University students. Summer's arrival leaves many wondering how to spend the next three months of pure ambrosia. Though academics are important, summer is supposed to be a good time. Warm weather, cold beer, spending time with friends and simply relaxing are all 1. Go on a road trip. Though the turbulent economic times might have many thinking travel is not an option, students can get creative and still have an excellent adventure. Assembling a crew of four or five friends isn't tough, and splitting the cost of gas makes road tripping a relatively inexpensive way to spend a weekend. Kansas' proximity to Colorado, Lake of the Ozarks and many other great places makes it an excellent road trip starting point, as well. years is damn near impossible. Getting some extra credits in by knocking out an easy requirement is a great idea and allows for more fun and less stress in the fall. 3. Live in a cool place. Tyler Manson, Wichita sophomore, spent the summer of 2008 living in the small mountain town of Burlington, Vt. Manson and a close friend decided to move 2. Take a summer class. It's common knowledge that graduating from the University in four to the beautiful Appalachian wonderland after catching word from a friend who was living there at the time. He commented on his summer experience. "I live for my summers," Manson said. "As much as schoolwork and graduating college might be important, being able to experience things you can't during the school year — things you've always wanted to do — is important, too." 4. Get an internship. Francis Enright, Chicago sophomore, spends his summers networking and making connections in his home city. Enright plans on interning at Mesirow Financial, working on 401(k) portfolios. Though sitting behind a desk all summer isn't very appealing, internships can help you line up your dream job after graduation "it's beneficial in the long run," Enright said. "I already know a lot of people in the financial and advertising market just through networking through internships" 5. Go to a concert or music festival. An abundance of good music festivals and concerts take place during the summer. Though Wakarusa unfortunately no longer calls Lawrence home, other festivals such as Lollapaloooa in Chicago, 10,000 Lakes in Minnesota, Bonnaroo in Tennessee and Rothbury in Michigan are all great ways to hear good music and spend time with friends. 6. Make some money, Mike Quattrochi, Chicago sophomore, plans on spending his summer waiting tables at the Lawrence Country Club. The money he makes this summer will go directly to his "fun fund" for next fall. "I figure with most of the fun happening during the regular school year when most of my friends are here, the chance to make tons of money during the summer will allow me to have more fun during the school year," Quattrochi said. On behalf of The Kansan, we wish everyone at the University a wonderful summer. Whether you spend it in Lawrence or somewhere else, working or traveling, have fun and enjoy. Danny Nordstrom The Kansan Editorial Board EDITORIAL CARTOON Graduate from school, find out your degree is worthless. Go back to start Do not collect $200. STUDENT LIFE JAMES FARMER Keep your resume clear of 'truthiness' As the semester comes to an end, many of us will be applying at various venues in search of some income, experience, or maybe course credit. But whether you're a graduating student searching for your first "real job," just looking to make some summer cash, or trying to learn more in your field via an internship, odds are you'll have to submit a resume. But what if yours isn't that impressive? Is it worth it to fib a little or outright lie to get the spot? The benefits of adding a few "extras" to the document employers use to judge you are pretty obvious. If it appears you're more qualified, you're more likely to be chosen. But the obvious issue with lying on your resume is being caught. This can happen in one of two ways: either at the interview itself, or later after being hired. Lied and said you know German but can't respond when your employer begins speaking like someone from Deutschland? Exaggerated your electronic skills and crashed the company's computer? You just lost your job, not to mention thorny embarrassment yourself. THINGS OF RELEVANCE BUSEO Love him or hate him. Donald RICHELLE BUSER Trump is definitely a business expert. Trump wrote on his Web site for Trump University that employers are often doing background checks before interviewing potential employees. According to Trump, if "you don't think twice about lying on a job application, chances are you cheated in school and maybe you cheat in your day-to-day business dealings." Yikes, probably not the impression you were hoping to make. Alicia C. Shepard of The Huffington Post wrote that many successful individuals have recently lost their jobs because lies on their resumes were exposed. A few examples include the former dean of admissions at MIT and the chairman and chief executive of Radio Shack Corp. But in case the idea of being fired from a top-tier position after many years isn't scary enough, imagine winning one of the most prestigious awards in the world and then being forced to return it because you're a liar. That's exactly what happened to Janet Cooke of The Washington Post, who won a Pulitzer Prize for her a story on an 8-year-old heroin addict but had to return the award after a standard resume check showed that Cooke had not only lied about her master's degree, but had actually only attended college for one year. Oh, not to mention that 8-year-old heroin addict she wrote about turned out to be fictional. See, people? If you lie on a resume, there's good reason to believe you'd lie about other stuff, too. The point I'm making here is that lying on your resume is not worth it. No matter how much you want that job or internship, think of the devastating damage you could be doing to yourself. I'll leave you with some final (and good) advice from Mr. Trump: "Figure out a way to tell the truth and still make yourself look good. If you can't do that, maybe you ought to consider another line of work." Buser is a Columbia, Ill. junior in journalism and English. HEALTH It's time to flee the swine Last week I was transfixed by the 24-hour news networks as I watched the classic 1995 film "Outbreak" playing itself out in real life. In the movie, Dustin Hoffman races to help contain the outbreak of a horrible airborne disease (the deadly Motaba Virus) in Cedar Creek, Calif., before the evil Gen. McClintock (Donald Sutherland) has his way and blows the town to sithreemes. This week, fears have begun to subside as the CDC has announced that H1N1 is probably no worse than the average flu and is sensitive to the prescription antiviral Tamiflu. The parallels between "Outbreak" and the recent outbreak of H1N1 are staggering. They both involve airborne diseases. Staggering. People died in both. More staggering. And I would be willing to bet that somewhere Sutherland is wringing his hands, thinking about blowing up large portions of California. To this, I cry "Shenanigans!" This is, without hyperbole, the worst thing to happen to the world, ever. We all probably have swine flu right now and don't even realize it. The disease has probably become self-aware and begun waging guerilla war in Chihuahua, Mexico. The government seems content to play it cool. I'm surprised that Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano wasn't wearing a jean jacket and shades when 'THIS THINGS I BELIEVE' ANDREW NEUBAUER NEUBAUER she announced that we should be "cautiously optimistic" about the disease. Cautiously optimistic? What does that even mean? Neville Chamberlain was "cautiously optimistic" that Hitler would mind his own beeswax, and that started WWII! Despite what the government and well-qualified experts say, I, as an ill-informed 21-year-old, say that this is prime time for a good old-fashioned, running-down-the-streets-screaming-and-robbing-pharmacies-grade mad panic. CNN, it seems, is content to agree with me. As I write this, Wolf Blitzer and his horrible beard are monotonically stoking my fears by bringing in live shots of every pig in the world with the sniffles. So it is with this one final thought that I close out my final column of the year: Kiss your children goodbye and return your beloved pets to the wild because soon you will be hacking up your innards. Swine flu is clearly the beginning of Armageddon, and certainly not a stupid publicity stunt by cable news. Goodnight, everybody! A. @KANSAN.COM Looking for us? Yeah, we're not here right now.

YOU'RE WELCOME MICHAEL POPE & RYAN SNYDER FROM CALIFORNIA BY LEIGH GOODRICH Group projects aren't for college we've had plenty of experience dealing with slackers, overachievers and everyone in between. In fact, it's that exact experience that has prepared us for life in dorms, where you can't control who you live near, shower next to or rely on for a late-night snack. I've never had much luck with group projects. Thinking back over a grade-school math assignment where the girls in the group researched famous mathematicians and the boys honed their video game skills, raving about the host's extensive collection of Nintendo games. I thought that the tedious and rarely equal work put into group projects would finally be over when I came to college. Sadly, I was mistaken. Daily Bruin Some people might argue that working in a group is important because you have to learn interpersonal skills, including how to work with all kinds of people. This is true for the years leading up to college, but once we're here Being in college gives students so much real-life experience negotiating and working with others that they don't need professors to pair them up for practice. In the 12 years of school leading up to college, students are given plenty of opportunities to perform academically in a group. College should be a time to take those skills and apply them to real-life situations, not use them to agree on which slide background color to choose for a PowerPoint presentation. — UWire HOW TO SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITOR Send letters to opinionkanan.com Write LETTER TO THE EDITOR in the e-mail subject line.

But the food decisions they make every day can have big environmental effects. The Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture at Iowa State University found that the average meal eaten in America travels 1,500 miles from the farm to the dinner plate. This distance is often referred to as food miles, and it is one of the ways in which the food people eat can affect the environment. The growing methods and types of food grown can also have an effect. If a student drove a midsized car 1,500 miles to pick up a meal, that would emit more than three tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, according to Carbonfund. org's carbon calculator. Simran Sethi, Lacy C. Haynes visiting professional chair in the school of Journalism, said fertilizers, pesticides and the amount of water used to produce food were also important. "The amount of packing is also something to consider." Sethi said. "One-third of all landfill waste comes from food packaging." in the U.S. was important, Sethi said her food choices used to be simpler. Sethi said she kept the environment in mind when making daily food choices. She said she tried to buy only locally grown and in-season food to reduce food miles, and that choosing food produced "I used to think, 'Hey, I put something in my body and it might be making me fat,' or "This tastes good," Sethi said. But after reading an article about world hunger in The Sun in 2002, Sethi said she came to realize that her food choices affected more people than she previously thought. "I just realized that this wasn't about eating something -- that would keep me feeling and looking good." Sothi said, "but this is about people, the environment and environmental justice." "I just realized... this is about people, the environment and environmental justice." Mary Beth Woodson, second-year doctoral student in film studies, has been a vegan since 2005. She eats no animal-derived products, which she could "I wish I could — if I had the funding to buy organically and support local farming, I would."

"There are an amazing number of products that use it, seemingly for no reason," Woodson said. According to the Sierra Club Web site, nearly 80 percent of corn and other grains grown in the U.S. Woodson said she mainly went vegan for animal rights but has found that environmental reasons have supported her decision in living a vegan lifestyle. She said reading about the environmental effects of large factory farms especially surprised her. "I was shocked when I learned go toward feeding animals for human consumption rather than to feeding people directly. For some students, the environment doesn't enter into their food equation. said that for him and his three roommates, the environment wasn't a consideration when making food choices. Austin Hartman, Hays sophomore, "We're all big, and we all consume a lot of calories and were really active," Hartman said. "We buy the cheapest, most calorie-dense food we can find. We really don't take into account the environment whatsoever." Hartman said he and his roommates each spent about $200 per week on food, and that it was important for them to buy the cheapest food possible. For Hartman, this usually means shopping at Wal-Mart. Though Hartman said his budget limits his food choices, he said if he had more money he thought his diet would be different. "I wish I could — if I had the funding to buy organically and support local farming, I would," Hartman said. Edited by Carly Halvorson COURTS POLICE TIME WAL*MART 1-Hr. Photo ASSOCIATED PRESS Nassau County Police officers examine the front of the Wal-Mart in Valley Stream, N.Y., where Jidymital Damou, a temporary Wal-Mart worker, died after a throng of unruly shoppers broke down the doors and trampled him during after-Thanksgiving sales. Wal-Mart on Wednesday agreed to pay nearly $2 million and improve safety at its 92 New York stores as part of a deal to avoid criminal charges. Wal-Mart makes deal in trampling death of worker BY FRANK ELTMAN Associated Press MINEOLA, N.Y. — Wal-Mart agreed Wednesday to pay nearly $2 million and improve safety at its 92 New York stores as part of a deal with prosecutors that avoided criminal charges in the trampling death of a temporary worker last year. Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice said that if she had brought criminal charges against the retailer in the worker's death, the company would have been subject to only a $10,000 fine if convicted. Rice declined to say what charges were considered against Wal-Mart, citing the secrecy of grand jury proceedings. The agreement included no admission of guilt by Wal-Mart. Instead, she said, the company has agreed to implement an improved crowd-management plan for post-Thanksgiving Day sales, set up a $400,000 victims' compensation and remuneration fund, and give $1.5 million to Nassau County social services programs and nonprofit groups. "Rather than bringing the world's largest retailer to court and imposing a small fine against them, I felt it was important to require significant safety changes that will affect the whole state," Rice said. "Our goal is for the protocols that are set up to be the gold standard for crowd management in this industry." Details of Wal-Mart's crowdmanagement plan for its New York stores have yet to be worked out. The retailer will work with two independent safety experts on the plan, and the experts will review it over the next three years. Wal-Mart will be responsible for complying with the recommendations. The prosecutor said her office will oversee compliance. Wal-Mart said it would focus on three areas: customer approach and entry into a store, customer flow through the store and around promotional merchandise and flow through checkout areas. It plans to provide customers with maps of where high-interest sale items are located and place those products at appropriate distances within the store to avoid crowding. Employees will be asked to help keep areas around checkout counters clear and so-called "quick response teams" will be deployed to handle unexpected customer issues. "The crowd management plan we are announcing today was developed by a team of experts whose experience includes NFL Super Bowls, Olympic games, concerts and national political conventions," Wal-Mart vice president Hank Mullany said. The company said it will consider expanding the safety plan to all of its stores. the grove lawrence ks ARE COOKING UP GREAT DEALS FOR BOOK BUYBACK DAYS!

Here's how Kansan reporter Mark Dent covered Mario's Miracle: "SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Mario Chalmers could dance now, now that his name had been permanently etched into the Kansas basketball history books. He moved his hips to "Celebrate" and slapped hands all around with his teammates in the confetti-filled jubilation of their national championship. That's right - national championship. Kansas (37-3) beat Memphis (38-2) 75-68 in overtime on Monday night at the Alamodome, winning its first title since 1988 and third in program history after coming back from a late nine-point deficit. "God, we competed hard." Kansas coach Bill Self said. "It's one thing to win. It's another thing to win the way these guys did." Chalmers' celebratory dance moves seemed so natural, just like the shot he made about 30 minutes earlier that sent the game to overtime. The play started with Sherron Collins. He had 10 seconds to make sure Kansas extended the game and kept its dream season alive. He dribbed to the right wing behind the three-point line and nearly lost the ball. THE MORNING BREW enough. Collins found him. Trailing 63-60, Chalmers shot a three near the top of the key. Overtime. Then, Chalmers separated from his man for just long The game should've been finished long before that play. The Jayhawks got a gift from the Tigers when they missed five of six free throws that would've iced the game. They didn't waste the good fortune in overtime. The extra period was all Kansas. Brandon Rush started out with a layup. Chalmers and Darrell Arthur played for an alley-oop. When Collins made two free throws to put Kansas up 75-68, the game was finished. Chalmers' shot had sparked all of it. "I just knew we had the game after that," Arthur said." - Edited by Carly Halvorson Mark Dent, April 7, 2008 THIS WEEK IN KANSAS ATHLETICS TODAY A Women's golf NCAA Regionals All day FRIDAY X Baseball Missouri, 6:30 p.m. Columbia, Mo Softball iowa State, 5 p.m. Oklahoma City, Okla.

Another loss for Mavericks shows the team's weaknesses BY JAIME ARON Associaed Press DALLAS — Jason Terry is the Dallas Mavericks' mood-lifter, the guy who pumps up teammates and fans every chance he gets. "Not tonight," he said, declining to be interviewed. "I don't have anything tonight." Yet after enduring a second straight pounding in Denver, Terry couldn't even fake being positive. The Mavericks went into this second-round series convinced they could hang with the Nuggets, pointing to three narrow losses in the regular season as proof of how close they were. Besides, they proudly noted, they were on their best roll of the season, having blown through the San Antonio Spurs in five games. Nuggets have made the Mavericks look like a club team they're warming up against on their way to the conference finals. So far, Denver has toyed with Dallas. Long, strong and athletic throughout their roster, the Both games have played out the same: Dallas playing well early, Denver grabbing control in the second quarter, things tightening up around the start of the fourth quarter. Then Carmelo Anthony and the Nuggets kick into an extra gear just as the Mavericks start wearing out, the gap between the teams exposed in a series of defensive stops that turn into electrifying baskets. Denver is up 2-0 in the series and 6-0 for the season. For Dallas to advance, Dirk Nowitzki and friends must win four of the next five. Game 3 is Saturday in Dallas. Returning home should help the Mavs, especially since they've won 17 of the last 18 at their arena. Of course, the Nuggets were the lone outsiders to win there. Dallas Mavericks guard Jason Terry, second from right, is restrained by Denver Nuggets guard D dahnty Jones, right, as Terry exchanges words with Nuggets forward Nene. left, while referees step to in intervene in a game on Sunday. "Do we need a perfect game?" point guard Jason Kidd said. "We've had some collapses in the fourth quarter twice now and they capitalized. ... I think we do get rattled, but the big thing is we've got to take care of the ball." The Mavreicks cut down their turnovers in Game 2 and were more physical than in the opener. But the result was the same. Now, with three days off before Game 3, Dallas coach Rick Carlisle has plenty of time to find other areas of emphasis. 3 Better yet for the Mavs, forward Josh Howard has several days to heal the right ankle sprain sustained in Game 1 and that limited him to a few early minutes in Game 2. "We'll just see how Mother Nature treats us here," Carlisle said. "He's been taking injections and doing everything else, whether it's his wrist or his ankle or his good ASSOCIATED PRESS ankle. If he can play, he'll play. I know that because that's what he's done all year for us." Howard is the most Nuggets-like player in Dallas' rotation. Without him, the Mavs are left with Nowitzki, Terry ... and not much else. No other player is averaging 10 points this series. Kidd has offset 11 assists with 10 turnovers and the role players who came through against San Antonio hardly have been a factor Denver is 6-1 this postseason, with every win by at least 12 points and the loss by two. It's impressive to everyone but the Nuggets, who see room for improvement. Got shorts? Got shorts? 1000 Massachusetts St • (785) 832-0806 SAN FRANCISCO FESTIVAL FIGHTER Voted Best Pizza in Lawrence!

The women's basketball team made significant刺杀 this season, Henrickson's fifth at the helm, winning its of nine final 12 games and reaching the WNIT final. "Come on, Lew. she may be your only hire but right now it looks like it's a bust! I'm tired of buying season tickets and having disappointing seasons. Bring some excitement back to women's basketball." KANSAS 3 — Posted by kwuin on Jan. 22, 2009, at KUsports.com when Kansas was 1-3 in BIA 12 play Lew Perkins sits at a glossy-finished wood desk in the corner of his office. Across the table, his chief of staff, Nicole Corcoran, jots down notes while Perkins spends the next 15 minutes talking about the women's basketball program Weston White/KANSAN from the run to the WNIT championship game to the continuing process of building a winning foundation. Throughout the interview, Perkins reverted to three key points that served as the backbone of the football program's resurrection: consistency, patience and doing things the right way. He said these are the basis of coach Bonnie Henrickson's turnaround, too. "I said very frankly to Bonnie: The first couple years, I want to win." Perkins said. "But when you're building a program, you don't do that. You have to do it right. We felt very strongly that we had the right person doing all the right things and it was just a matter of time" In Henrickson's fifth season she enters her sixth at Kansas next year — the Jayhawks began to show signs of progress. Kansas upset then-No. 21 Iowa State on Feb. 22 and shocked then-No. 5 Baylor two weeks later. The Jayhawks won nine of their final 12 games and played in front of a record-setting crowd of 16,113 in the WNIT championship game against South Florida. "That really sent a message to me that people are beginning to understand what we're trying to do." Perkins said. "And I still think we have some other steps we have to take." noble cause. Instead, they came to watch a basketball game. Attracting fans without promotions, Perkins said, is the next step for a growing program. Perhaps more than any game this season — even more than any upset or conference victory — Kansas' loss to South Florida represented progress for the women's basketball program. Throughout the regular season, the Jayhawks played in front of modest crowds, only occasionally drawing more fans on promotion days. But those fans that flocked to Allen Fieldhouse on April 4 didn't come for a T-shirt or to support a "Because of my experience at Connecticut, if we can get people to come, they enjoy it," said Perkins, who was the athletics director at Connecticut from 1990 to 2003. "Obviously, the basketball is the most important, but it's the whole experience. And with women's basketball, people can really identify with our players because they're closer and a part of it." Yet, before Kansas closed the season with a winning streak and upset victories, Henrickson's team struggled in Big 12 play. The Jayhawks suffered two losing streaks of four games and appeared destined for a bottom-of-the-conference finish. At that point in the season, comments on message boards raved about the dire state of Henrickson's team and how, after five years of drowning in mediocrity, it was time for her to go. "When I gave (football) coach (Mark) Mangino that extension on his contract, everybody was like, 'This guy is nuts — fire both of them,'" Perkins said. "By the way, in the same year he went to the Orange Bowl." And there is where Perkins patience, and the patience of any athletics director, is put to the test. It's easy to preach patience with a winning program. But what happens if that program doesn't immediately experience success? "Patience is the biggest thing you have to do," Perkins said. "All of us want instant gratification, and it just doesn't happen, especially in building a program." He said he's excited with the program's progress and the continued improvement in recruiting, and he said he expected the Jayhawks to Quickly, though, Perkins notes that winning is still important and that taking strides in that aspect is always crucial. finish in the top half of the Big 12 next season. "I don't want to get ahead of myself but we're just beginning to open the pages," Perkins said. "We took one step last year, now we have to take another. We're probably three or four steps away." — Edited by Andrew Wiebe NIX MARU SRAM Tour of the Gila ASSOCIATED PRESS Mellow Johnny's Levi Leipheimer, middle, holds up the Tour of the Gla baking race winner's trophy in Pinos Atos, N.M., Sunday. Lance Armstrong, left, took second overall. CYCLING Armstrong frustrated by lack of funding BY ANDREW DAMPF Associated Press VENICE, Italy — With his Astana team in financial crisis, Lance Armstrong suggested Wednesday that his Livestrong cancer foundation could step in and bail out the team in time for him to go for an eighth Tour de France title in July. "I don't have any concrete answers, but I suspect we can find some funding that would get us from June to the end of the year." Armstrong told a small group of reporters upon his arrival in Venice for the Giro d'Italia, which begins Saturday. "It could be a combination of people that have a shared interest in Livestrong and want to see Livestrong promoted around the world and believe in what we're doing" Astana receives most of its financial support from Kazakh state holding company Samruk-Kazyna, but the Central Asian nation's economy has been badly hit by the ongoing global financial crisis. The team has not paid its employees lately. "If someone commits to fund government, which uses the team to raise the country's sporting profile. "I don't know them, I don't have a personal relationship with them, but I get frustrated," Armstrong. The possibility of Astana folding would be a blow to the Kazakh "I don't have any concrete answers, but I suspect we can find some funding." a team for half a year, that's $7 or $8 million," Armstrong said. "For a full season it's $14 to $20 million. That's a serious decision and can't be made in 20 to 30 days." LANCE ARMSTRONG Astana cyclist who is riding for free this season, said. "These Kazakhs, they don't return phone calls and there's not a lot of clarity about what is going to happen." Although Samruk- Kazyna has pledged to continue its support for Astana, which is named after the Kazakh capital city, state carrier Air Astana has stopped sponsoring the team. "I've spent every day of the year with my soigneur (massage assistant) Richard, a Polish guy. He's got a wife and two young kids at home and doesn't get a pay check," Armstrong said. Pro Tour teams such as Astana must meet certain financial parameters to stay active, or risk losing their International Cycling Union (UCI) license. "I'm only going to say we're aware of the situation and we are in contact with the team and (the Kazakhstan) federation," UCI president Pat McQuaid told the AP. "We're going to wait to see how this develops." McQuaid left open the possibility that the team could be expelled from the Giro if the problems worsen.

Kansas sweeps Michigan State in three games on March 7 and 8. Team qualifies for regionals BY BEN WARD BY BEN WARD bward@kansan.com Many teams have a team slogan or motto. You've probably seen them on the backs of T-shirts on campus: Play Together, Expect To Win, Never Give Up. The Kansas club baseball team (17-4, 10-2) has one for you — Get Weird. "It's just doing your thing," senior infielder Clinton Brown said. "We play our best when we're all laid back and having fun." The approach seems to have been working, as the Jayhawks have earned a berth as a wildcard in this weekend's NCBA Mid-America Regional Tournament in Topeka. The National Club Baseball Association has eight regional tournaments, all of which will send a winner to the NCBA World Series in Fort Myers, Fla. "If we win three games this weekend we advance to Florida," said Mark Hays, senior utility player and team president. The Jayhawks have to beat some solid competition to get there, though, as they face Colorado State (39-6, 15-0) in their first-round game. The Rams, four-time NCBA national champions, enter the tournament as the consensus No.1 in the country. "They're a great team, but we've been anticipating this game all season long," Hays said. "We want to show them what Kansas baseball is all about." The Jayhawks will have their opportunity on Friday in a 7 p.m. contest at Lake Shawnee baseball complex in Topeka. Admission is free. "I can't imagine a better thing to do on Stop Day than come out and watch two of the best teams in the country 'Get Weird,'" Brown said. Edited by Liz Schubauer COLLEGE SPORTS NCAA hands out team bans BY MICHAEL MAROT Associated Press REMEMBER THE MOMENT The NCAA handed down postseason bans to both teams for subpar academic scores Wednesday, the first time college sports' governing body has instituted a penalty it said it never wanted to use. INDIANAPOLIS — Centenary's men's basketball team and Tennessee-Chattanooga's football team will miss the NCAA's postseason tournaments next season — no matter how well they do on the field. If scores don't improve next year, those teams could face an even harbor sanction — the loss of Division 1 membership in all sports. Scores are calculated based on data from the fall semester in 2004 through the spring semester in 2008. Each athlete receives one point per semester for remaining academically eligible and another point each semester for remaining at that school or graduating. A mathematical formula is used to correlate a final team score, with 1,000 points being perfect. Teams that fall below 925 can be subjected to immediate penalties. Those falling below 900 consistently, such as Centenary and Tennessee-Chattanooga, can be hit with the harshest sanctions. Jacksonville State's football team also could face a postseason ban but has requested a waiver to avoid that penalty. The NCAA has not announced when a decision will be made. The list of underachieving teams showed distinct delineation between those programs with a lot of money and teams with less. Of the 85 teams penalized in football and men's basketball, only 10 came from the six traditional power conferences, and none of those received the two harshest penalties — a reduction in practice time or a postseason ban. One hundred seventy-seven teams overall were penalized.

Scoring in the endzone sports. scoring in emulates the thrill of a touchdown in football. The constant disc movement and cutting is comparable to soccer.

We spend a lot of time in the gym." much of the HorrorZontal's roster is made up of former cross country, soccer and football players. KEVIN KELLY HorrorZontals captain Ultimate frisbee has two positions: cutters and handlers. Cutters are typically faster, taller and more athletic players who do most of Brammer, Ryan Bigley and Jack McFarland. The starting handlers are Abe Jacobs, Justin Kaminsky and Gary Gareis. At practice, the HorrorZontals like to joke around and have a good time. One player tells another to do a sexy dance. Another isn't paying attention during one of the drills — now the fun is over. After Kelly barks at the player to get it together, the drill immediately takes shape, fluidly performed by the cutters and handlers, one after another. Now, it's Kelly's turn. Dashing to the middle of the field, Kelly looks up, leaps and completes a spectacular play with a catch that effortless. "Way to get up, KK!" Brammer said. This is the kind of ability that the HorrorZontals bring to the table. It is the kind of ability that they hope translates to a national championship. "If we play hot, we know that we can beat any team in the nation," Kelly said. MLB The HorrorZontals are always looking for new players.

On three separate occasions Price turned in highlight reel stops, including one in the seventh inning where he picked a one-hopper off the Tyler Field turf to turn an inning-ending double play and suck whatever life was left out of the Shockers. "Robby thought he was Roberto to Alomar out there tonight," the elder Price said, comparing his son to the 10-time gold glove winner. "It took a couple runs off the board, no doubt about that. He was absolutely special with the glove tonight."

Associated Press Ryan Newman joined Tony Stewart in his new racing venture last season motivated by his desire to have fun again and contend for a championship. So far, he's achieved the first goal and is getting closer to the second. "Everybody has done their part to battle through the things that we didn't get right the first part of the season," Newman said in an interview this week. "And now that we've got those things going better for us, I wouldn't say it's turned around; it just gotten better." Stewart, a two-time Sprint Cup champion, is getting most of the attention for the success he and his team are having in his first year as an owner-driver in NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series. Newman, meanwhile, has flown under the radar despite getting some much-needed results on the track and showing that the owner's faith in him was warranted. Stewart is third in the points after 10 events, and Newman is 10th, surging after a slow start to climb 23 spots in seven weeks. While Stewart said he "backed into one" with his second-place finish Saturday night at Richmond International Raceway. Newman ran up front all night and came home with a season-best fourth. It was his second consecutive top-five finish — the first time he's done that since late in the 2007 season — and made it seem possible that it could be sooner rather than later that he gets to wheel his Stewart-Haas Chevrolet onto the area of black and white known as Victory Lane. Perhaps even more telling for Newman is that he was somewhat bummed with the finish. After all, he led four times for 45 laps and felt like he had a shot until a laterace mishap occurred when a he got caught up in a jumble during a restart with 87 laps to go and nudged Mark Martin. "We didn't get out front when we needed to," he said. "... At the same time, it's been a long time since I got two top-fives in a row, so you've got to look at the positive side of the coin too." It's a positive side that some weren't sure Newman would provide. Newman's career has slowed significantly since 2003, when he led the series with eight victories and 11 poles. He won just four times since, and his victory over Stewart in last season's season-opening Daytona 500 was his first in three seasons. He's not won since, or even come close. But he prefers looking ahead. "It's definitely been a while," he said, "but I know why I didn't succeed and win races towards the end of last season, but I'm happy where I'm at, building what I feel is a winning team for 2009. "If we keep doing what we're doing, we'll get what we want." That, clearly is that trip to Victory Lane, and he said one of the benefits of working for Stewart is that the entire organization in striving for the same thing, and there's not even a gentlemen's bet between the drivers about which one will get to sip the champagne first. "There's no sense in that," Newman said of an inside competition. "We've been so busy doing our thing we don't think of it as that. Really, just the biggest thing is getting to Victory Lane for all these people at Stewart-Haas and I guess to kind of make that statement." Stewart has said he will only wear his owner's hat during the week, and that on weekends he's strictly a driver. But that owner role was very noticeable on Saturday night when he surveyed his team's strong runs. "I can't wait to get to the shop on Monday and see the smiles on their faces," he said of the members of both drivers' teams. "This is a process that we continue to grow and build." In the interim, there's one of 12 spots in the Chase for the championship to focus on securing, and maybe a few races to win. U.S. ARMY STRONG.

ASSOCIATED PRESS NASCAR Hendrick's Martin intends to run full Sprint schedule in 2010 ASSOCIATED PRESS CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Mark Martin will drive a full Sprint Cup schedule for Hendrick Motorsports in 2010. The 50-year-old Martin signed a two-year contract with Hendrick last summer, but the second year originally was to be a partial schedule. It will be Martin's 22nd full season at NASCAR's top level. He will keep his seat in the No. 5 Chevrolet. Martin drove that car to a win at Phoenix last month that made him the third oldest NASCAR winner in history. Martin's decision likely will impact Brad Keselowski's future with the team. Keselowski, who has a developmental deal with Hendrick, wants to race a full Cup schedule in 2010, but Hendrick does not have an open seat available. In his fifth career start, Keselowski got his first Cup win two weeks ago at Talladega.

Golf fans watch the action from a hill beside the 17th green during a practice round at the Players Championship golf tournament at The TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., Tuesda. Course stars at Players Championship Players prepare for tricky links at TPC Sawgrass BY DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press Associated Press PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. Even with the strongest field in golf, The Players Championship is among the few tournaments where the biggest star is the golf course. The Stadium Course on the TPC Sawgrass has a personality all its own. Sure, it is renowned for its island green on the par-3 17th, perhaps the most notorious short hole in golf where players have hit 312 balls in the water over the last five years alone. But the shot is only 137 yards, a wedge for most players. The winning score has ranged from a record 24-under 264 by Greg Norman in 1994 to 3-under 285 by David Duval in 1999. The list of champions is as impressive as any — Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Davis Love III, Nick Price, Fred Couples — yet no one has ever repeated as champion. It can look easy. But it can play hard. A small sampling of players in the days before The Players Championship showed how complex this place can be. They were asked to describe the TPC Sawerass in one word. "Exciting," offered three-time major winner Padraig Harrington, the only player to be runner-up in consecutive years. "What I mean by that is that it's not a big brute of a course with long, boring par-4s. There's quite a lot of short, tricky par-4s out there. And there's a lot of intimidating His record is most peculiar. Woods was runner-up in 2000 to Hal Sutton, then won the next year over Vijay Singh. But he has not cracked the top 10 since then, his longest such streak of any PGA Tour event. "Exciting. What I mean by that is that it's not a big brute of a course with long, boring par-4s." He has never led after any round in any year except for when he rallied to win on a Monday in 2001. "Even without the players this week, it would be an exciting event." shots. A lot of water. It's a course that's exciting at all times. The Players Championship did not have Woods last year, the No. 1 attraction in golf, and there was excitement aplenty. It ended with a sudden-death playoff — the first playoff to start on the 17th hole — and Goydos promptly hit his tee shot into the water. PADRAIG HARRINGTON Major winner "Tricky," is the word chosen by Woods. The Stadium Course does not discriminate, offering winners who are power players (Woods, Norman, Couples, Mickelson) or short hitters (Fred Funk, Lee Janzen), stars (Price, Duval, Davis Love III) or unneraided winners (Craig Perks). Most people consider The Players Championship as the fifth major, which is why Steve Stricker used "challenging" for his word. Only eight of the champions at Sawgrass have failed to win a major. "It it not only challenges you physically, but it challenges you mentally," he said. "It's like a major. There's no letup on any hole. On every single shot, you have to be committed." Sergio Garcia is the defending champion when the Players championship begins Thursday, its 28th consecutive year on a course designed by Pete Dye and often described as "Dye-abolical", for the punishment the course metes out on whim. Goydos earned more notoriety for his playoff loss than any of his PGA Tour victories, in part because of his everyman personality that served as such a contrast to Garcia's illuminating career. Some debated whether starting a playoff on the 17th hole was fair or done purely for promotional purposes, but the guy who paid the steepest price had no qualms. "There's no advantage to any one player," he said. "All tour players pretty much are standing on that tee equal. You can look at a hole like 16 or 18 and you say there's an advantage to a guy who hooks the ball. Seventeen doesn't favor anybody." FINALLY!

Earn the nickname Greatest of All-Time and there's a good chance there won't be anything left to accomplish. All it took was a trip to the Daytona 500 for Carmichael to realize where his next test should be — on four wheels instead of two. Yep, the man who won more motocross races than anyone threw down the kickstand and jumped behind the wheel of a truck. "I was pretty much done with what I wanted to do in motocross and supercross racing." Carmichael said. "The opportunity came, I tried it and liked it, and one thing led to another." "I was pretty much done with what I wanted to do in motocross and supercross racing." Kevin Harvick gave him the opportunity. Harvick, a NASCAR driver, had met Carmichael during Daytona Speedweeks in 2005 and knew of his impressive dirt-bike reputation. The two crossed paths last spring at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, where Harvick saw Carmichael race for the first time in a regional trucks race. Impressed by what he saw. RICKY CARMICHAEL NASCAR truck driver Harvick talked it over with his wife and business partner, Delana, and called Carmichael a week later to see if he later be interested in racing for Kevin Harvick Incorporated. It didn't take long to get an answer. "He called me up out of the blue and asked me what my plans were, told me what his plans were and we ended up forming a little program," Carmichael said. "It was so cool to just get a call from him out of the blue and we made it work." Signing Carmichael certainly made sense from a marketing standpoint. Carmichael already had a recognizable name and his popularity in motocross offered an opportunity to lure a new demographic of fans to the truck series. As for competition, the 30-year-old motorcross star already had an advantage: he knew how to race. Maybe not on four wheels, but clearly he had a knack for reaching the finish line, winning 15 American Motorcyclist Association championships and 150 races, including two perfect seasons. "The best thing about Ricky is you only need to teach him the aspects of driving a truck. Everything else comes natural to him from his days in motocross," Harvick said. Carmichael became interested in four-wheel racing when he was nursing a knee injury in 2000 and attended the Daytona 500. He raced a few times in late-model cars after that, then spent a developmental year learning to drive trucks after retiring from motorcross in 2007. Carmichael is 20th in the points with one top-10 finish after racing in all five events so far this season in NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. Yeah, it's a work in progress. Carmichael is still trying to learn the nuances of driving trucks and the various tracks. He's getting the hang of it but needs more time behind the wheel to progress toward his goal of landing a Sprint Cup ride. The move to the truck series has required Carmichael to make adjustments in other areas as well. "The biggest thing Ricky son needs is seat time at the tracks where the truck series races," Harvick said. Once the undisputed king of his sport, a rider recognized around the world, he has become just another driver in NASCAR's minor leagues. Funny part is, he loves every minute of it, almost as if he's taken a trip through time. "I was a pretty good amateur and won a lot of races, but still had to work my way up to the top level," Carmichael said. Two giant leaps washi ASSOCIATED PRESS Washington Capitals left wing Alex Ovechkin, right, jumps into the arms of teammate Sergei Fedorov after scoring his third goal of the game against the Pittsburgh Penguins during the third period of Game 2 of their second-round NHL playoff series on Monday in Washington.

Lift the chorus ever onward, Crimson and the Blue Hail to thee, our Alma Mater Hail to old KU." 3 2009 GRADUATION GUIDE THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, MAY 7, 2009 EDITOR'S NOTE Walking down the hill an important tradition G graduation season always reminds me of how fast things are moving last things are moving and changing in my life. Now, I'm not a senior, so I don't have the perspective of coming to the end of my college career. But it seems like yesterday that I was graduating from high school. I like the feeling graduation has — the traditions, the alumni, the family, even the formality. Because there is something about graduation that makes you realize that there's a lot of potential for how your life could end up. At this time two years ago, I never thought I would be living in Kansas, and I definitely didn't think I'd be working for The Kansan. When I graduated from high school, I didn't think I would be where I am today, but things change and opportunities are always there. Although I'm not a senior, I can appreciate the feelings of change, relief and happiness that come at graduation. And if I could give only one piece of advice, it would be this: Don't miss your opportunity to walk down the hill with all the other graduates on May 17. BY NORA SIMON psimon@kansan.com There won't be another time in your life that you'll get to be part of this tradition. That's much of the reason why I chose this particular cover photo. It's something that I want to be a part of when I graduate, just to say that I was part of it. Many may remember their high school graduations being long and boring, but it's just part of the tradition. For me, it was the feeling right after receiving my diploma that made me happy I'd opted to walk with my graduating class. Don't forget the great memories of your years at the University. Whether you like it or not, this place has shaped who you are in some way. You may not appreciate or realize until you're graduated and gone what you really got out of college. But it's important to recognize how your past influences your future. It may seem like just a diploma you're getting on May 17, but what really matters is the time you spent at the University and all that you accomplished. Congratulations, Class of 2009! Good luck with life after college, and don't forget the memories you made at the University of Kansas. Seniors recall best college memories LOOKING BACK Hard work, study abroad and Mario's Miracle BY CRYSTAL YAKEL cyakel@kansan.com As their time at the University comes to a close, seniors are reflecting on their time in college and remembering some of their greatest memories throughout their stay in Lawrence. Wichita seniors Ally Mounts and Meghan Hampton have the same favorite memory as many KU students: the 2008 men's basketball national championship. onship. John Babcock, Holton senior, "I have been a die-hard KU fan all my life, and to be a student during the win was unbelievable," Mounts said. John Babcock, agreed that the championship was a highlight of his college years. "How can you top partying with thousands of other Jayhawks after a national championship victory?" Babcock said. Babcock has Lucas Lux, Topeka senior, recalled a great memory from his junior year. "I have been a diehard KU fan all my life, and to be a student during the win was unbelievable." "We sang the alma mater with other KU students while on a bus back from a wine tasting for study abroad in Germany" Lux said. "It was a good time." Stephanie Patyk, Wichita senior, said her work as a special events coordinator for Student ALLY MOUNTS Wichita senior many good memories of his years at the University, such as performing at KMEA with KU Concert Choir, sledding down Campanile hill, dancing at summer parties and traveling to Juarez, Mexico, with Weslev KU. "On the first day of school I Union Activities was the thing that gave her such a memorable college experience. It was Patyk's job to organize the homecoming show for her sophomore year. received word that our previous show headliner had backed out of the show, which left us roughly six weeks to redo everything" Patyk said. "When I found out that she had accepted SUA's offer, I was over the moon." Because Patyk was a fan of huge fan of Kathy Griffin's show on Bravo, she suggested that Griffin be the homecoming show at the Lied Center. STEPHANIE PATYK Wichita senior "When I found out that she had accepted SUAs offer, I was over the moon," Patyk said. After completely selling out the Lied Center and witnessing Griffin's comedic performance, Patyk had been the driver for her own best memory of her time at the University.

UNIVERSITY OF AVIATES Nora Simon/KANSAN BY DANA MEREDITH dmeredith@kansan.com Commencement day signifies for most graduates the end of their time as a student at the University and as a member of the Lawrence community. The Alumni Association wants recent graduates to know, however, that their time as a Jayhawk is by no means over after they walk down the hill and into Memorial Stadium. "We help bridge the gap between being a student at the University and being an alumni; we want you to know that there's still a community out there for you, even if you're not on the Hill," said Aly Rodee, Wichita senior and former executive member of the Student Alumni Association. The SAA is an offshoot of the Alumni Association that helps with running programs and events. Grad Grill will take place tonight from 5:30 to 7:30 at the Adams Alumni Center and features free food and drink, door prizes and information tables. The Alumni Association attracts members in part by sponsoring year-end programs for recent graduates, such as Wieners for Seniors, a hot dog giveaway on Wesco Beach that is designed to advertise another Alumni Association event, Grad Grill. GRAD GRILL "It's the first event that students attend as alumni," said Stefani Gerson, coordinator of student programs for the Alumni Association. "It's a congratulatory event held in their honor, and it's free for all members of the Class of 2009." **Who:** Graduating seniors **What:** Free food and door prizes **When:** 5:30 to 7:30 tonight **Where:** Adams Alumni Center After helping organize the event several times, Megan Lemon, Smithville, Mo., senior and former SAA executive member, will get to enjoy Grad Grill from the other side of things this year. "This semester has been for me reaping the rewards of everything I did in the past," Lemon said. "It's nice; I appreciate it a lot more since I know what went into the preparation." Rodee said she hoped Grad Grill would help students become more comfortable as alumni, in addition to providing a relaxing environment before finals. The Alumni Center is known as the big scary building on campus that no one knows if they can come in to," Rodee said. "Grad Grill is to get people to the come to the center." In addition to Grad Grill, the Alumni Association sponsors a ring ceremony, during which students receive class rings if they have purchased them. It also provides a free box lunch on the chancellor's lawn at 11 a.m. before commencement on May 17. Beyond programs, the Alumni Association welcomes recent graduates into the alumni community with a year's free membership to the Alumni Association, a $25 value sponsored by KU Endowment, and an opportunity to purchase a lifetime membership for half price. "I will definitely take advantage of my free year's membership with the Alumni Association," Reuben Dermyer, Olathe senior, said. "I think it's a good idea, because I don't think a lot of recent grads will have the money to join the Alumni Association up front." member of the senior advisory board for Board of Class Officers. Parents and friends of graduates can make donations on their behalf, as well. Gerson said benefits of Alumni Association membership included a subscription to the Kansas Alumni Magazine, special discounts to events held around the country. access to an online directory for networking purposes, a monthly KU e-newsletter and a 10 percent discount at all KU bookstores. 2009 SENIOR CLASS GIFT "The University said it needed a new flag pole," Rodee said. "It was something we could afford, and it would be visible, so that's how we chose the oirt." Each year, the Board of Class Officers and Senior Advisory Board choose what contribution the graduating class will make to the University. This year, they will replace the flagpole outside of Strong Hall, which is corroded and leaning to the side. Rodee said that the connections an Alumni Association membership provided were its most important advantages. The KU Endowment helps fund the class gift by selling. Class of 2009 $10T-shirts, said Aly Rodee, Wichita senior and To contribute, go to www.kuendowment.org/ seniorclassait. "It connects you to over 300,000 other Jayhawks," Rodee said. "I might go to a city I've never been to before; that connection will be immeasurable in becoming part of the community there." Gerson also stressed the importance of using the free membership to network and stay involved with University events. "By being a member, you're helping the University as a whole by remaining a strong entity in the Jayhawk nation," Gerson said. "We want recent graduates to stay connected because that keeps the University strong."

Yet at no time of year are some KU traditions more in bloom than at the peak of spring, and the peak of graduating seniors' college careers — commencement. From the University's first commencement in 1873 to now, here is a brief glimpse of some KU commencement traditions. "I think these traditions are special because it unites layhawks throughout generations," said Michael Gray, Buhler senior. "Walking through the Campanile, you're experiencing something that your parents, and maybe your grandparents, experienced. It unites Jayhawks throughout history." Edited by Sonya English walking down the hill At the University, students don't ask, "Are you going to commencement?" said Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle, associate vice provost for student success. "They say, 'Are you going to walk?' Nemeth Tuttle said. "It has taken on such a symbolic thing in everybody's mind. There is something very special about it." KU Info director Curtis Marsh said Memorial Stadium wasn't built until 1921, so the walk down the hill couldn't have occurred before that. Nemeth Tuttle said she had seen film of students walking into the stadium from as far back as the 1930s. "It's a long established tradition," Nemeth Tuttle said. "Obviously, the size of the stadium — it's the only venue of that size, because remember, at that time we didn't have Allen Fieldhouse. We had Hoch Auditorium, which was somewhat limited in seating — so for thousands of guests the stadium became the only place to really do it." Marsh called walking down the hill the primary KU commencement tradition. According to the KU Info Web site, there are two different trails that graduates take down the hill. Going down the west side are students graduating from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences as well as master's and Ph.D. students. It takes a graduate about 300 steps to get down the hill. For those taking the second trail, down the hill on the east side — students from professional schools — the walk is a little longer, with about 330 steps to get into the stadium. Nemeth Tuttle said the Campanile was constructed in 1950 and that she thought the tradition of walking through the tower began sometime soon after that. She said she couldn't remember the curse of the Campanile — that if students walk through the tower before commencement they will never graduate — from her undergraduate years in the late 1960s and the early 1970s, and guessed that this curse of the Campanile tradition started sometime in the 1970s. Marsh said the curse of the Campanile was one of the University's traditions that did not have a formal beginning. "There are a lot of them like this, like waving the wheat," Marsh said. "There are traditions that are just extraordinarily important to the KU experience that are hard to pinpoint as far as origin." Campanile — built to honor the 277 students, faculty and staff who died in World War II — is special to graduating students, Nemeth Tuttle said. She remembered her own experience graduating from the University with her doctorate degree in 1996, when construction surrounded the Campanile. Because of this, she said, graduates were not allowed to walk through the Campanile at commencement. The walk through the "This created very bad feelings," Nemeth Tuttle said. "It's a great example of a tradition becoming so strong that students got quite upset that they didn't get to do that." Nemeth Tuttle found a way, though — one of her relatives at the time was Baby Jay, she said, and as Baby Jay led her through the crowd, "the seas parted" and she got to walk through the tower after all. THE STREET CENTER Matt Bristow/KANSAN The World War II Memorial Campanile is one of the most recognizable landmarks on campus. It is a time-honored tradition for graduates to pass through it on the way to Memorial Stadium for the commencement ceremony. SINCE WHEN?

And although most students wear them at least once in their lives, few people recognize their long-standing history. BY NORA SIMON nsimon@kansan.com a - Tradition: Uniformity - Tradition: Wearing graduation regalia - Origin: The first time any standard was discussed was in 1895 when an Intercollegiate Commission met at Columbia University to devise a unified system of academic dress. In 1932, the American Council on Education met to revise the collegiate dress code, and in 1959, a Committee on Academic Costumes and Ceremonies made revisions to the code. The last time the American Council on Education made a change was in 1986. - Tradition: Wearing graduation regalia * Origin: Students and teachers at early European universities in the 12th and 13th centuries commonly wore clothing that looked like a priest's robes. By the 1300s, universities had often created academic dress codes, including long gowns and prohibited "excess in apparel." The evolution of academic clothing depended on the growth of the academic community in Europe, especially as more specialized degrees were created. --- 1983 From left to right, University of Kansas; KU crimson and blue, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences; white, Business; drab, Education; light blue, Fine Arts; brown, Engineering; orange, Pharmacy; olive, Architecture; blue lilia, Journalism; crimson, Music; pink, Social Welfare; citron, Law; purple, Health Services; pink salmon, Nursing; apricot, Doctoral and Masters; black - Tradition: Varied tassel colors - Origin: Oxford and Cambridge began reserving white for arts and literature degrees, green for medicine, olive for pharmacy and golden yellow for sciences. Since the early 1900s, the American Council on Education has published standards for tassel colors that each student of a particular discipline receives. White, for example, is still given to students in the humanities and the University's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The Council recognizes a total of 25 disciplines that get separate colors. The University's commencement uses 14 of the colors for its tassels, plus a custom KU crimson and blue mix. ✓ American Council on Education, www.acenet.edu } Edited by Grant Treaster THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, MAY 7, 2009 2009 GRADUATION GUIDE 5C KU University of Kansas 2009 GRADUATES Congratulations to the graduating class of 2009!

Alumni around the country confirm that watching KU games with hundreds of other fans does not end once you leave the hill. There are bars all over the country decked out with KU flags and bartenders wearing KU stickers, who in some cases make special drinks named after the Jayhawk. KINCADE'S Chicago In Chicago there are quite a few KU watch sites, including Junior's, which is owned by KU football star Gale Saves. Will Cook, 2001 graduate and Chicago native, watches the KU games at a bar called Kincede's. "All of the KU bars in the city are special in their own right, but for me the bar of choice has always been Kincade's," Cook said. "The back room, called Lucille's, better known by KU fans as Lucy's, is the best place to watch a KU game in Chicago." If you show up at Kincade's hoping to watch the game, you may want to get there early. Cook said there can be up to 300 people for a regular season game and double that for more important games. In Chicago, there are also alumni events throughout the year, including a cruise for Big 12 alumni, Cubs games and even the Chicago Blues Festival. UPPER DECK Scottsdale, Ariz If graduation takes you to the Southwest, you can find many alumni gathered at The Upper Deck in Scottsdale. Carol Hilbert, fourth-generation KU alumna, said that the two-story bar filled up entirely with KU fans for big games, and a small number even come out for preseason games. The bar was especially full on the day of the championship game last year one of Hilbert's favorite memories. feeling like we were all instantly transported to Lawrence, Kansas, when Mario hit that three-pointer. People were hugging and crying and jumping up and down just like at any Lawrence bar packed with KU fans" Hilbert said. "It would be hard to beat So even if you aren't watching the game in Lawrence, you can still feel like you are at the Upper Deck. QUARTERDECK Miami Alumni who find themselves thousands of miles away, in Miami can gather to watch games at one watch site, located on South Beach, called Quarterdeck. Sean Maher, managing partner, said he had seen Jayhawk fans in his establishment and called them a good group with a recognizable chant. Maher, an alumnus of the University of Florida, said that Jayhawk fans came out in their school colors to Quarterdeck and that they made a good showing. "Loyal fans stay loyal after they graduate." Maher said. "I'm from Gator Nation, so for KU I'm assuming it's similar." VILLAGE POURHOUSE & THE BACKPAGE New York New York is home to two KU watch sites where bartenders wear KU stickers and fly KU flags. David Griffith, KU alumnus, goes to The Backpage in the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Walking into this bar feels like walking into any of the bars on Massachusetts Street, he said. "We have had a Jayhawk flag hanging on the wall for a number of years. Subsequent to this year's basketball season, the owner bought a KU national champions banner and has it hanging prominently over the middle of the bar," Griffith said. Another KU watch site in the city is the Village Pourhouse in lower Manhattan. Carrie Coulson, KU alumna, attends this bar for every game. When Mario Chalmers hit the magical three that sent the championship game into overtime, the Village Pourhouse went crazy. Coulson said the best part about watching the games there was seeing familiar faces, which can be hard in a city so big. New York alumni also get together for events outside of games, such as an outing to the Bronx Zoo and Jayhawks on Broadway, where alumni go out to eat and see a Broadway show together. THE MCKINNEY AVENUE TAVERN Dallas If you head south post-graduation, you will find alumni watching games at The McKinney Avenue Tavern (or the MAT, to regulars) in Dallas. Laura Veazey, KU alumna, said this bar was where many younger alumni watched the games, but that other watch sites in the city are good for families. Veazey said the MAT has been a watch site for six years. Veazey said that being a Jayhawk meant a lot to her and that "it's a great feeling to see someone in KU apparel, tell them 'Rock Chalk,' and get a 'Rock Chalk' right back." JB'S SPORTS BAR Orlando, Fla. Orlando is home to JB's Sports Bar, which is a KU watch site, as well. Kirtus Bocox, 1996 graduate, said that the turnout there was not quite as large as at other KU watch sites across the country, but that the bar attracted several tourists because of its location. "I had just moved from Kansas City and maybe my over-optimistic enthusiasm about the crowd size caused me to set up enough tables decked out in crimson and blue to be able to seat about 100 people," Bocox said. "When 15 people showed up I was disappointed, but at the same time it was great to hear all of us cheering and screaming for the Jayhawks. It might as well have been 100 fans with the way we were cheering." To Bocox, KU means more than just great sports. "Being a KU alumni to me means feeling proud about where I went to school, knowing the great academic reputation it holds as well as the great sports tradition the school has as well," he said. So whether you end up on either coast, move south or stay close to Kansas, know that an place to watch KU games is always within reach.

For much of his childhood, he lived alone with his mother, Lisa Lewis, who never went to college and always worked hard to provide for her son. "My mother made infinite amounts of sacrifice to ensure that I might have the option of attending college," Jones said. This spring, Jones, Kansas City, Kan., senior, will pay her back as the first person in his family to graduate from college. "When I graduated from high school, I felt that going on to pursue a higher education would be the one way I could provide a return on her immense investment," Jones said. "I didn't have to push him," Lewis said. "It was always "I know that with a little hard work and ambition, the sky is the limit." DAVID JONES Kansas City, Kan., senior something that he wanted to do for himself." Lewis said that she knew that Jones would be successful. "David has a personality that draws people to him," Lewis said. Jones applied to several schools but chose the University because of the large campus and proximity to his home. Initially, he was pre-med because of the potential to make a lot of money in the medical field. Like many students, he eventually switched his major and found an interest in political science. "Pursuing a degree in political science at KU has been a great experience," Jones said. "It has allowed me the opportunity to understand where I stand politically and most importantly the views of others — in Lawrence you get both sides of the rope." Looking back on his years at the University, Jones said he sees himself as a changed man. "Lawrence was my oasis for academic and personal growth," Jones said. This summer, Jones will go to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He plans to work there for a year in a volunteer group called the Two Brothers Foundation, co-founded by Paul Sneed, assistant professor of Spanish and Portuguese. The group provides an after-school program for children in the community. After Brazil, Jones hopes to attend Howard University of Law in Washington, D.C. In a bigger city, Jones said he will be able to fulfill his passions for education and public service. With his mother's hard work as an example and his education at the University almost behind him, Jones has realized the importance of the two things that brought him to where he is today. "Education and work are the levers to uplift a people," Jones said. "Work alone will not do it, unless inspired by the right ideals, guided by intelligence." In a world submerged in socioeconomic unbalances, Jones said he views education as the guide to his ideals. "Education does not simply work — it teaches life" Jones said. David lones will graduate with a profound message — no longer will the past dictate the future. Regardless of a person's background, anyone can give life to a dream. "I know that with a little hard work and ambition, the sky is the limit," Jones said. Edited by Carly Halvorson OBAMA DE BIDEN Caleb Sommerville/KANSAN OBAMA BIDEN Graduating from college is already a proud moment for students and parents. But David Jones' graduation is even more special because he is the first person in his family to graduate with a college degree. Jones, Kansas City, Kan., senior, credits his mother's dedication for helping him graduate and succeed." When I graduated from high school, I felt that going on to pursue a higher education would be the one way I could provide a return on her immense investment," Jones said.

Usually, after friends and family catch me off guard with what they think of as their best intentions, I become disgruntled and semi-pissed off. Once, though, in my adolescence, my parents threw my brothers and me off guard in the best possible way. When my parents gathered my brothers and me around the kitchen table, I knew one of two things was about to happen: Either we were about to be punished or we were just about to have another endless "family meeting." My brothers and I had been playing the NES, the first Nintendo system from circa 1985, for about a decade. We considered ourselves lucky when babysitters, friends and relatives had more advanced systems for us to drool over. Our parents just didn't get that bigger and better systems had come out. Well, one elementary school spring break, our parents finally got it. Once we got settled, I could tell my mom could barely hold in her excitement. She pulled out the solid Toys "R" Us bag and our eyes widened with awe. Then, she unveiled the surprise: a Nintendo 64. My older brother lunged for the present and all of us stared at the box in disbelief. Even though the N64 had come out two years before, by our reaction you'd have thought we got hold of the system on day one. I can't remember what games we played that first week, but we played nonstop for the whole spring break. Check out Kelly's story on page 8 about older video game systems that are still making a wave in the video game market today, and how maybe I should have held onto that NES for a rainy day. New and better systems came out and my brothers and I stopped playing the N64. This past week, though, I played a friend's N64, and I couldn't help but associate one of my most memorable surprises, a shared surprise, with the vintage video game system.

DANE COOK AND IN STORES EVERYWHERE MAY 19TH DANECOOK.COM AEG health + The skinny on fad diets The truth about 'quick and easy'weight loss DURKEE CAYENNE PEPPER Sam Archer, McPherson senior and KU football player, couldn't focus in his classes and was having trouble remembering what had happened earlier in the day. He also lacked the energy to complete everyday tasks. It was January 2008 and it wasn't the cold, dreary weather bringing his body down—it was the way he had chosen to lose a few pounds after football season. When Archer was looking for an "easy" way to lose weight, Archer says, his friend and teammate Kerry Meier suggested a diet that Meier's brother had success with: the "cayenne pepper and lemon juice diet." The diet required Archer to drink six to 12 glasses per day of a mixture that contained 1 teaspoon squeezed lemon juice, 2 tablespoons mauryrup, 1/18 tablespoon cayenne pepper and 8 ounces water. To abide by the diet, Archer was allowed to drink only water and this mixture for 10 days. After about five days, the misery and hunger were too overwhelming and Archer quit the fad diet. The "cayenne pepper and lemon juice diet," a detox and natural diet, involves drinking a mix of freshly squeezed lemon juice, cayenne pepper, maple syrup and water. The detox has many followers in Hollywood and other areas, where it is claimed to be extremely effective in naturally cleansing the body. Photo Illustration by Alex Bonham-Carter Fad diets are a common "quick fix" for college students, however, the distress to the body that many of these diets cause can result in short and even long-term damage, says Staci Hendrickson, registered dietician in Lawrence. time, it's easier for me to have something that is set for a few days versus something that I have to do all the time, for months," says Charley Ritz, Minneapolis junior. "When you do a diet like this, it's like trying to drive your car to Kansas City without enough fuel." Hendrickson says. "You're not going to get there. Your brain starts to shut down and only focuses on essential activity. You're looking at extremely low energy, loss of memory and an inability to focus on everyday things." These diets can be very appealing to college students because of their claims of "fast and easy" weight loss. In an environment where students are prone to unhealthy eating with fast food and late-night calls to pizza joints, many students think that a quick-fix diet is the most efficient way to lose weight. Ritz was looking for a fast way to lose weight before she went home for Thanksgiving break. She had only a week and heard about a three-day diet. The diet cut her caloric and carbohydrate intake by more than half. She was forced to stick to a strict food regimen, which included canned tuna, black coffee, hot dogs, fruits and vegetables. A friend who also completed the diet told her she could lose 10 pounds in three days. "I'm good at short-term diets, not long- term. With the stresses of school and so little Although Ritz says she had some success with the diet because her clothes were much looser, Mitzi Dulan, sports nutritionist for the Kansas City Chiefs and Kansas City Royals, says diets such as this one can actually lead to more weight gain. "A three-day diet is really silly and to lose that amount of weight in three days is not realistic." Dulan says. "Diets like this cause someone to 'yo-yo' diet. It doesn't allow a person to develop a healthy relationship with food. They end up severely restricting their diet so once the three days is up, they overeat and then gain back all the weight they lost and many times more than they lost." "Yo-yo" dieting and- constantly trying different "fad" diets can cause long-term health effects, making weight loss nearly impossible as people get older, Dulan says. If you are constantly starving yourself on these diets, then your body will eventually cling to whatever food it can and slow down your metabolism, Dulan says. "It is permanent damage that many times can't be reversed." Dulan says. "It goes back to the beginning of time and it is a survival mechanism. Your body's metabolism will automatically slow down if it is constantly hungry." Fad diets are often programs you're supposed to follow for a few days or a few weeks, but nutrition experts insist that the right approach to weight loss is to change your lifestyle permanently. "The trick is to follow a common sense diet," says Marty Glenn, R.D. and advanced nutrition lecturer at KU."Limit your portions to a sensible amount, incorporate more fruits and vegetables and exercise." After talking to a nutritionist, Archer, the U football player;found that the most effective way to lose weight was by increasing his cardio workout and cutting out bad food,such as pizza or fast food. He has now kept his weight off for almost a year. "I worked out a lot more and ate a little healthier and I have felt so much better," Archer says. "Not only did I lose weight. I was feeling better overall." JP 7 tips for healthy weight loss in college Mitz Dulan, sports nutritionist for the Kansas City Chiefs and the Kansas City Royals, offers these tips for students. 1. Talk to a nutritionist or registered dietitian: "Many times college professors or lecturers are more than willing to talk to students for free and they can give an easy plan that can be catered to your lifestyle." 2. Avoid diets that claim to have you losing more than three pounds per week:"More than three pounds a week is unrealistic and can be potentially damaging to your body." 3. Always incorporate a regular workout routine: "Working out keeps you toned and helps keep weight off." 4. Read the labels: "If you can't understand most of the ingredients, then it is probably super high in preservatives. Eating organic is important because you will feel more satisfied in the end." 5. Buy higher quality foods:"I recommend buying organic because it is more satisfying. Also, the higher quality fruits and vegetables are going to taste better." 6. Include lean sources of protein into your diet:"Eat a smaller volume. But a higher quality of chicken or pork is going to leave you full and not craving more." 7. Eat whole wheat and whole grains: "Whole-wheat pasta and bread is more filling and better for your health."

In fact, I just stopped wearing them after so many weeks, afraid of the consequence for putting those unwashed plastic molds into my mouth. I made a good decision. Dirty retainers can harbor some pretty nasty stuff, says Dr. Kelly Toombs of Prairie Village. "If you're not cleaning your retainers, then there are bacteria in your mouth that will get on your retainers and not only is that gross, they are certainly going to smell bad," Toombs says. Capital "G" Gross: Not washing your retainers can cause them to smell bad. Retainers are a great place for bacteria and viruses to colonize. Toombs says. They can grow and grow in your warm, moist and often colored retainer case. People tend to not wash their hands before or after handling their retainers, which transfers more germs. "Most people wouldn't even think twice about putting something else that dirty into their mouths, but for some reason they think it is perfectly acceptable with dirty retainers." Toombs says. Toombs recommends washing your hands before and after handling your retainers, but most importantly, he recommends regular washing of your retainers. "A great way to initially clean retainers is to soak them in a solution of 50 percent bleach and 50 percent water. However, for general maintenance, denture cleaner is great and so is just brushing them with a toothbrush and toothpaste," Toombs says. — Megan Weltner nurture by nature Mushrooms With the swine flu scare on the front page of every newspaper, people are looking for ways to boost their immune systems. Many are turning to Tamiflu or other medications, but your favorite pizza topping could help prevent this disease. If your favorite pizza topping is mushrooms, then you're in luck. Asian countries have used mushrooms for centuries to strengthen the immune system and promote a long life, says Deena Kosh, a naturopathic physician in Shawnee. "They have been used for many, many years and improve your immune system by increasing your white blood cell count," Kosh says. The white blood cells are disease-fighting cells, therefore making your immune system more resistant to bacterial or viral infections. Photo by Megan Weltner Mushrooms also contain a substantial amount of B vitamins as well as selenium and copper, zinc and potassium, says Lisa Markley, registered dietitian with the program of integrated medicine at KU Med. These are all important trace minerals that the body needs to fight off disease. Mushroom goodness:The vitamins and nutrients in mushrooms can help fight off disease. "For preparation I would cook the mushrooms. Unlike a lot of other vegetables, they still keep their nutrients after being cooked. I would advise against eating raw mushrooms;" Markley says.

DE LA TAPAZA 6 May 7,2009 health + How to not stress out about speaking up Handle your nervousness and anxiety before a big speech or discussion Many people experience anxiety and stress before big events such as public speaking and job interviews. Some of them perform better with some anxiety, but others become distracted by their fear. What is happening to our body when we feel anxious? How can we reduce the anxiety and perform well at an important event? Physiological responses to anxiety By Sachiko Miyakawa smiyakawa@kansan.com Rebecca Lo easily becomes scared in front of many people. At a piano competition when she was younger, she became so nervous that she started playing the piano without sitting down on a chair. Now, in college, she still feels uncomfortable giving presentations or speaking in class discussions. Some people experience physical discomfort, such as sweating, blushing and shaking, in response to anxiety. This is the body's reaction "When I'm nervous, I get really painful stomachaches and I'm unable to think," says Lo. Coffeyville junior. If such physiological responses bother you, Pressman recommends restorative activities, such as spending time outside or some quiet time alone, which can help decrease stress hormones and blood pressure. She says exercise is also a "great stress-buster;" as is getting enough sleep. Deep breathing and muscle exercise right before the event can also relax the body and to the anxiety, triggered by the sympathetic nervous system, says Sarah Pressman, assistant professor of clinical psychology. When people are worried or upset, their hearts beat more quickly and blood pressure increases. The system also makes people sweat or get sweaty palms to cool down their bodies. Pressman says the body function's original purpose is to divert energy and blood flow to the muscles to help physically fight off enemies and prepare for a safety threat."The problem is that, these days, the kinds of stress that we respond to don't require this kind of increased energy and cooling down of our body," says Pressman, who specializes in health psychology. relieve stress, says Bridget Biggs, assistant professor of clinical child psychology.The muscle exercise consists of tightening and relaxing the muscles. For example, hand muscles are relaxed through clenching the fist, opening the hand and releasing tension. How to reduce fear The fear of failure can create nervousness and anxiety. Lo, the Coffeyville junior, says she's usually sociable and outgoing, but becomes shy when she has to speak in class or give a presentation. Many people have the desire to please others and they worry about other people's judgments. Removing those fears and increasing confidence help people feel comfortable about public speaking, says Michael Eidenmuller, associate professor of communication at The University of Texas at Tyler. The key is good preparation and rehearsal, he says. PETRINA Photo illustration by Jerry Wang Butterflies galore! Becoming a nervous Nellie before making a speech in front of a class or participating in a class discussion is common. Practicing in front of a mirror helps conquer or alleviate this fear. Rachel Voorhies doesn't like getting attention in front of a group of people, especially when she gives a presentation. Studying foreign languages, however, helps her feel more comfortable in such a situation, says Voorhies, Fayetteville, Arkansas, graduate student. She's studied Chinese for four years and lived in China, which made her less afraid of making mistakes and feeling embarrassed in front of others. Other types of fear regarding social situations and interaction with others can be overcome through the exposure to the fear and practice to deal with the situation, says Biggs, the assistant professor of clinical child psychology. For example, if people worry about a job interview, they can practice with their friends by simulating the interview. Lo still feels anxious when speaking in front of many people, but starting a band with her friends improves the way she handles her anxiety, she says. Lo plays the guitar and piano, which makes her more confident when performing on stage. She says being around her friends also relieves her anxiety when playing at the band. Like Lo's experience, with more social support people tend to respond to stress less severely and cope with it better, Pressman says. Social support includes having a friend to talk to about problems and having someone who can give them help when they need it. Many times, social anxiety can be solved through an individual's effort, but Biggs recommends consulting a psychologist if the anxiety and shyness impair a person's ability to function in everyday life. If people avoid attending classes or social situations, this may be a sign of social anxiety disorder. Preparing for successful presentation To prepare for public speaking, try the following method, suggested by Michael Eidenmuller; associate professor of communication at The University of Texas at Tyler. Stage I: Verbal rehearsal Use the outline and rehearse your entire speech aloud. Spend two to three hours to practice for a four to eight minute speech. Stage 2: Nonverbal rehearsal Stand in front of a mirror and rehearse your introduction aloud while looking at yourself in the mirror. This will make you aware of making eye contact and effective facial expressions. Practice this for 40 minutes. Stage 3: Rehearsal with friend Stand in front of a friend and rehearse the entire speech just as you deliver a speech in class. Ask your friend not to say anything while you speak. Make eye contact, facial expressions and hand gestures to build the psychological connection between the speaker and audience. Make sure to enunciate your voice and avoid saying "like," "um" and "you know." The stage enhances your speech delivery. May 7,2009 --- 7 RETROFITTED If you think older video games are past their prime, you may want to think again. By Kelly Breckunitch kbreckunitch@kansan.com Photos by Caleb Sommerville ccommerville@kansan.com The living room of my apartment is littered with older systems: A Super Nintendo, an N64 and a Playstation (as well as an Xbox 360 and Wii) rest beside the TV.This, I reason, is a testament to my sense of video game history. I grew up with a Super Nintendo, so I know how far games have come. The capabilities of the Xbox 360 and PS3 systems are amazing, but sometimes you have to appreciate where everything came from. That's why I still go back to play those older systems time and time again. The set-up in my living room is nothing compared with that of Overland Park senior Joe Noh. Noh has almost every Nintendo system ever made. (He even has a Famicom, the Japanese Nintendo, for crying out loud.) Noh doesn't just keep these systems as collector's items, though. "I'm not like a museum collector. I don't want to put them on display. I want to play them; that's why I own them." Noh says. Video games are quickly accumulating a celebrated history.The popularity took off with original arcade games in the 1970s. Pac- Man was the original video game icon to be popular in his own right, which furthered the popularity of games. The Magnavox Odyssey brought video games into peoples' homes in 1972 and in 1977 the Atari 2600 system made home video games popular and laid the groundwork for the Nintendo and Sega Systems to come. Even those arcade games are still relevant.The film The King of Kong:A Fistful of Quarters is a testament to that. It outlined the battle between two men to get the high score in one of those old arcade games, Donkey Kong. People still own those arcade systems, too, and Adam Bowman, Concord, California, graduate student, is one of them. He says he and his wife have a mutual love of older games, so he broke down and got her an arcade game with multiple games on it such as Ms. Pac-Man and Galoga. Video games continue to steadily progress That old Donkey Kong video game gave birth to one of Nintendo's most famous video game characters, Mario. There are a lot of older games to choose from, so variety is not a problem. Noh says there are games he may have missed on his initial time spent with a system and he goes back to play older games because of the limitless possibilities."If you look at the back libraries of games, you'll find that there's a treasure trove of games," Noh says. Casey Baker. Andover senior; sticks to her bread and butter, though: the original Super Mario Bros. game. Baker says it gives her a sense of past experiences playing games. "It's fun to remember how I played it when I was little," Baker says. Yes, nostalgia is a driving force of the popularity of older games. Gene Nutt, owner of Game Nut, 844 Massachusetts Street, attributes nostalgia as a factor in sales but also sees the popularity of older games continuing to grow. What makes people keep coming back to the older games, though? Well, for all the progress in current video games, there are some characteristics these games lack compared with the older games. This era of new games immerses players in realistic environments, but it can't make up for some characteristics that older games still have (and gamers still crave)."The plotlines, the stories, and the game itself aren't as quality as the older games," says Sean Pesnell, owner of Game Guy, 7 East Seventh Street. Games used to be simpler, but now it seems as if newer games push the "too much of a good thing tendency." They have to fit one storyline into three games. So, complexity in games may have hurt as much as it helped. Noh notices that effect since games transitioned from two-dimensional to three-dimensional. "I think there was a loss of innocence between that transition," he says. The simplicity is what was lost.The controllers on the older Nintendo systems, the Atari and the Sega Genesis, had just a few buttons to press, which made the learning curve a lot easier on players. Bowman compares that simplicity to that of brain teasers."It serves a similar function to Sudoku.It's puzzles,it's strategy,it's working your mind,but it's not a ton of buttons and it's not over-complex," he says.

Middle: Arcade games such as 'Ms. Pac-Man' started the home gaming revolution. Right: Classic video game systems each have their own kind of controllers, which can become a mess for a video game nut. The new technology hasn't completely forgotten about older games though. The Wii includes an online shopping channel where owners can purchase older video games that range from the era of the NES to the N64. The Internet has become a haven for the older games as well. There are multiple sites where you can play those original NES games, as well as some of the arcade classics such as Pac-Man and Pole Position. For systems such as Super Nintendo, there are sites where you can download emulator software, which acts as the actual system and is saved on your hard drive. Older video games still have an effect on characters and storylines of newer video games as well. Whether it's a character or a remake of a classic game, older video games tend to influence this cutting-edge era of games."I think a lot of people like the original games, and that's why they're continuing to bring Mario into all the newer systems." Baker says. The storylines help the continuity from past to present as well. Pesnell, the owner of Game Guy, says he's seen people come in to the store to buy the original Metal Gear games so they can understand how the story has progressed up to the point of the most recent game. Can the older video games keep up their popularity in the current environment? Nutt says he sees a growing interest in the older systems. "They're actually growing in popularity," Nutt says. Old games are now getting that classic reputation that old films and books earn after a period of time. "They're like any other medium like movies or music. Just because something's older doesn't mean it's irrelevant." Noh says. Indeed, older video games have settled in to their role and gotten a steady stream of attention. That Super Nintendo I mentioned actually belongs to my roommate. I will have to carry my regret for selling mine. It was my initiation into the world of video gaming, a part of my history, and I let it go. Things from our past always hold that sense of nostalgia, whether it's a book we read as a kid or a toy we played with. What's great about the video games is they don't lose any of their effect as they get older. "The games are still fun today too," says Bowman. Video games have become such a part of pop culture that it is a testament to the mass appeal they've gained during the past 25 years. The focus of games now is to push the envelope in terms of reality, and it creates some great entertainment, but don't forget how it all began. Some of those images from old games tend to stand out as an art form. People grow to respect them more as the years pass. Now, there's a certain familiarity of guiding Mario through the Mushroom Kingdom, looking for fire flowers. Chances are, whether you know video games or not, this will stand out more to you than a scene from a modern game. That shows that older video games aren't going anywhere. They're here to stay. JP GETTING STARTED Where do you start with older games though? There are so many past generations of video games out there it leaves you with a lot of options. If you've never played a video game in your life, I suggest you play some games from the NES era or older. Why? In short, they're easy to find on the Internet, so you don't have to go through the hassle of actually getting the system. Here are some of my recommendations, and all of which can be found on www.nintendo8.com. 1) Super Mario Bros. — The first installment of the Mario franchise appeared on the NES and it's right there so you can experience it on the Internet. It's really easy to dive right into the game because the controls are so simple and you can play through it really quick. Plus, there are a lot of hidden tricks to the game. 2) Mega Man 5 — Looking for more of a challenge? Then don't pass up Mega Man. 3) --- 4) (5) It can give you fits.As simple as the original NES games could be, Capcom tried to build as many puzzles into this action game as possible.The storyline was very futuristic for the time,pitting the cyborg hero Mega Man against an army of robots. That was part of the appeal though,as was getting the robotsi weapons after you defeated them. Joe & Mac — A personal favorite of mine, Joe & Mac is very user-friendly for new players. Everything about the game is simple.As an added bonus, the game is set in prehistoric times, so you get to beat up dinosaurs. Trust me, this game is pure, simple fun. Xevious — I have to include one of the original arcade games that started the video game craze. Xevious is a classic shooter, for those who like to blow stuff up. You have to guide your ship through waves of enemies to win, and it takes the top-down view, making it a real classic. Ninja Gaiden — I include Ninja Gaiden so people can see its roots. If you do, and even if you don't, know how this series has progressed to the modern game it is, you should try out the original games. There's definitely less brutality and the game is fast-paced with ninja action. Becoming a ninja master can be quite addictive.

A secondhand store owner When you work in the secondhand business, someone trying to sell you a bear rug is old hat. Although Yellow House Store, 1904 Massachusetts Street, mainly buys major appliances, you can hawk your guitars, video games or bricks from your backyard. Guy Neighbors has been in the secondhand business for 21 years and is co-owner of Yellow House. His wife, Carrie, also owns the business and Guy says he's second in command. When his mother-in-law is around, he's bumped down to third, he says. Yellow House's business has picked up as the country's economic situation has worsened, Neighbors says. He says people don't want to pay for an expensive, new major appliance. Neighbors says he cleans all the appliances with bleach and touches up the paint. BROOKLYN BANK Photo by Adam Schoof If you want to sell something to Yellow House, bring it in and Neighbors will check the value of it on eBay. Then he'll negotiate a price around the prices he finds online. Neighbors says people have tried to out-bargain him in his own store, and he's had to ask them to leave. Take a second look: Guy Neighbors says secondhand business Yellow House Store, 1904 Massachusetts Street, has picked up the economy as has worsened. Neighbors says his secondhand business is good for the community because "the stuff we're restoring would probably end up in a landfill."

OF NAME BRAND MERCHANDISE LIQUIDATED TO THE PUBLIC! reviews MUSIC: Epiphany by Chrisette Michele Savvy songstress Christie Michele first hit the scene in 2007.After collaborating with hiphop leaders Jay-Z and Nas, Chrisette put out her first album, I Am, capturing fans with her jazz-influenced sounds and sultry vocals.With her sophomore album, Epiphany, produced by Ne-Yo, Michelle delivers an album about relationships and heartbreak in a voice full of vibrancy, edge and youth. The album starts off with her hit-single "Epiphany," a sassy,up-tempo song about leaving her cheating boyfriend. She slows it down in "Notebook," as she croons about a crush that she can't find the nerves to approach, and instead "Writes in my notebook/X's and O's beside your name." Chrisette gives a strong performance in soulful ballad "Blame it On Me," delivering a pitch-perfect performance while telling an exlover to blame her for the failed relationship. She picks up the tempo in songs "Playing Our Song," in which she sings about that one special song between lovers, and "Another One," in which she croons about a boyfriend acting funny, singing "Friends come around/you don't act the same." The smooth, sultry voice is stunning as she sings to her ideal man in "Mr. Right," and again in "On My Own" and "Fragile." In "Porcelain Doll," fans get a refresher of the jazzy, yet sassy, sound that first brought the songstress CHRISETTE MICHELE EPIPHANY into the spotlight, while she sings "I'm a full grown woman/I am not your porcelain doll." She ends the album in the piano-laced ballad "I'm Okay." Chrisette Michele delivers everything one hopes from an up-and-coming, here-to-stay artist. With her pitch-perfect vocals, catchy lyrics and tempos, Epiphany makes a hot album that anyone would love. ★★★★ Brieun Scott LOOKING FOR FREE LEGAL HELP?

Not only are audiences privy to new mutants absent in the first three films, but non comic book readers (such as myself) get to see how Logan, a.k.a. Wolverine, became the man/beast that he is. Wolverine's story begins when he was a boy living in Canada at the turn of the century. Through familial disturbances, he teams up with his half-brother Victor (who eventually become Sabretooth) and they become inseparable up until the 1970s after the Vietnam War. Shortly after, they are introduced to their own kind via Stryker, who naturally has an ulterior motive. Between love, suspense and action, Origins proves to be the beginning of a new wave of X-Men movies. Bridging the past with the present, the movie deals with unanswered questions (such as why doesn't Logan remember his past!) and leaves more to be answered. I don't know why you wouldn't want to see this movie. The filmmakers do an excellent job matching the younger versions of Stryker and Scott Summers to their older counterparts. There's also some romance and bloody, suspenseful action.

It's the first nap I've taken all semester. After it was over, I realized how tired this semester has made me and how much I needed that extra two hours of sleep. Let's face it; this semester has completely worn all of us out, as do most semesters at college. Even our professors are telling us how ready they are to be done. Everyone knows that burned-out feeling that comes at the end of a semester. But it's all about to be over, and that's something to celebrate. BY NORA SIMON nsimon@kansan.com When I feel overwhelmed about my finals, I take a break and try to get a handle on my stress. Whether it's taking a nap, pleasure reading, eating good food, hanging out with friends or doing some yoga, I try to make it as relaxing as possible. Another way I help mitigate the stress of finals is to make lots of to-do lists. There's no better feeling than crossing out a project I've been working on for weeks.

"Finals are not meant to be a punishment;" said Ingrid Peterson, the director of the Kansas Algebra Program. "It's so you can solidify the concepts you've learned." Final exams might not be a punishment, as many students view them, but finals week is a demanding time. Students have to recall all the information they were taught and force it back into memory. Students handle finals week in different ways depending on their studying habits and their exam schedules. Alissa Waller, Holdrege, Neb., freshman admitted to cramming before her finals. "I have definitely spent days without sleep during finals," Waller said. "I tend to leave everything until the last minute — that's where the caffeine comes in." "Good study habits throughout the semester make finals a lot easier." Students are under a large amount of stress INGRID PETERSON KAP director during finals but fortunately there are ways to make studying a bit easier. Peterson said cramming was generally not the best method for studying. "You can't wait until Stop Day to start studying," Peterson said. "Good study habits throughout the semester make finals a lot easier, but if you put studying off then finals week will be much harder." To make studying easier, Peterson suggested study groups. "The more you can talk about what you 5 finals tips 1. Spread out your studying sessions. 2. Cramming doesn't work unless there is some understanding. 3. Find a study group. 4. Don't study more than two hours without taking some kind of break. 5. Eat right, exercise and sleep. are learning, the more you will understand it," Peterson said. For students who are looking for extra help with their finals, the University offers tutoring help at the Academic Achievement and Access Center. Kristen Scott, associate director of the AAAC, said the center was open throughout the school year to help students with their classes. She said the center tended to get busier when students are dealing with finals, however. Scott said the main goal of the center was to help students achieve their personal goals. "We want students to attain their own academic goals and have the students finish the semester at their very best," Scott said. One thing both Peterson and Scott advised was taking short breaks during long study sessions. "Sometimes students study so long that they can't absorb information anymore," Scott said. "Breaks help refresh your mind." Many students agree that breaks are important for long study periods, even when there is a lot of work to be done. Erin Ross, Harper freshman, said she tried to schedule breaks in her studying. "I study a lot. But giving yourself a break is important," Ross said. "You have to reward yourself sometimes."

It's not even sunrise yet — in fact, it's 4 a.m., but in Anschutz Library, students are awake, diligently reading, writing and cramming for tests. Jenny Terrell/KANSAN For Ali Muckey, Overland Park sophomore, spending the night in the library is almost a weekly occurrence. "Generally I have to do all-nighters because I procrastinate, and it's unfortunate because most of my major papers and tests are normally all on one day," Muckey said. "For me, a lack of sleep is not the end of the world. As long as all of my work gets done, I can deal with it." Many college students choose to pull all-nighters, staying up late in libraries across campus. Especially toward the end of the semester, when students have many tests, projects and papers in short order, an all-nighter often feels like the best option to get everything done. "At the end of the semester it seems like teachers pile it on and sometimes there is no time for sleep no matter how organized and efficient you are," Katie Kudlacz, Chicago freshman, said. "When you have two tests and a paper due the next day, sleep gets sacrificed." Kudlacz said she saw all-nighters as a way to maximize the college experience. "An all-nighter develops for me when procrastination is combined with outside influences to go do something else, and when added assignments take longer than expected," Kudlacz said. "There is so much more to college than just school, and sometimes sleep can wait." Ways of pulling an all-nighter varies with each individual, but methods generally include aids such as energy drinks, coffee and music to help focus and stay awake. "The first thing I do when preparing for an all-nighter is I have to pick where I am going to study, either at home or Anschutz. Then I make a to-do list, and I prioritize how I want to complete assignments or study." Muckey said. But once you've picked the location, you still need a way to stay awake. "I find music that keeps me awake and focused," Kudlacz said. "Also, energy drinks and coffee are good, but one of the most important things is staying hydrated." An April 2005 Men's Fitness magazine article recommends eating a light meal before pulling an all-nighter, as well as chewing gum to stimulate brain synapses, and lowering the temperature of the room you are studying in to prevent drowsiness. The willingness to learn the information, and whether or not students feel it is useful and important to their academic career, also factors in to the decision to stay up all night. "Normally with my core classes for my major I study and don't pull all-nighters, but when it comes to pre-reqs that I don't really care about, I will cram and then forget the information right after the test," Kudlacz said.

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine said in a 2007 study conducted that people who showed signs of sleep deprivation tended to not retain information as well as those who were well-rested. The study also found that people who had symptoms of sleep deprivation were more likely to make mistakes. So does pulling an all-nighter work? A study at St. Lawrence University in Canton, N.Y., that followed 111 students' sleeping patterns found a positive correlation between sleep and GPA, meaning that students who slept more also had higher GPAs. Another study, which followed nearly 10,000 students at Minnesota colleges, reported that students who did not get adequate sleep had an average GPA of 3.08 while those who got adequate sleep averaged 3.27. According to The National Sleep Foundation, adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep to be adequately rested. But negative effects aside, some students still think that the all-nighter is the way to go. "I think when you pull an all-nighter, and you are by yourself, you focus more." Kudlacz said. "There are a lot less distractions at 3 a.m. than there are at 3 p.m." Aside from that, some students would rather miss sleep than opportunities. "its al.' about priorities and how much sleep you individually need," Muckey said. "I would rather pull an all-nighter than miss out on my college experience." Edited by Melissa Johnson Beware unhealthy snacks for finals NUTRITION BY DANA MEREDITH dmeredith@kansan.com Finals don't just wreak havoc on students GPAs and social lives. The stress and time involved with exam preparation often destroy healthy eating patterns, as well. To stay full and energized between meals, some students turn to snacking but reach for unhealthy foods such as chips, candy and cookies to satisfy hunger. "The biggest problem is that I get a finals snack pack." Kari Cozad, Wichita junior, said. "Then I'll study through lunch or dinner and eat a lot of junk food in the meantime." Eating as a means of procrastination and stress relief are two other ways students abuse food during finals preparation. "I don't want to study, so I find something else to do; sometimes that's eating," Jenny Van Wormer, Chicago sophomore, said. Anxiety might prompt some students to abandon eating altogether. "If I'm nervous to go to class because I have a presentation or test, I won't eat beforehand because I'm afraid I'll get sick during it," David Haug, Leawood freshman, said. Chapman said she thought overeating and undereating as responses to stress were common and advocated stress relieving activities that didn't involve food, which would help people avoid developing unhealthy eating habits. "Physical activity, like taking a brisk walk, throwing a Frisbee around or playing with a dog can be great stress relievers," Chapman said. "Soaking in a bubble bath or putting in a DVD and taking a 10-minute comedy or humor break are also good ways to alleviate stress." Restricting the amount of food around the home or residence hall room also prevents unnecessary snacking. "I don't like to keep food in my room, because I'll eat it when I'm stressed out or bored or whatever," Van Wormer said. "I recommend that you just don't keep food in your room." In addition to abusing food, students facing large chunks of studying turn to caffeine found in soda and energy drinks to stay awake and alert. Although this can be temporarily effective, overuse of caffeine has negative side effects, Chapman said. In general, the best way to avoid potential problems with food and caffeine abuse is to enter finals week prepared and organized. "My advice would be to not to get stressed in the first place," Haug said.

Legends Place CAMPUS 10:30 The third floor of Anschutz Library is notoriously busy. This makes it more suited for group work or study, but much less attractive for individual use. Caleb Sommerville/KANSAN Lots of libraries open for studying students BY ALEXANDRA ESPOSITO aesposito@kansan.com Many KU students use the libraries as a place to study with lots of resources and few distractions. Most students know about Anschutz and Watson, the campus' two biggest libraries, but there are smaller, less popular libraries students can access, as well. With many libraries to choose from, there is a place for every student to study. ANSCHUTZ LIBRARY One of the biggest and most popular libraries on the KU campus, Anschutz holds reference materials focused on science and technology. This library is especially convenient because it's open 24 hours. The third level, the main floor of the library, is a good place for group studying. There are big tables and it's busy, so study groups don't have to worry about being too loud. "I like studying here because it's so busy. The atmosphere keeps me awake," said Eejay Imafidan, Lawrence sophomore. "Whenever I study at home I fall right asleep, but I could never fall asleep in front of all these people." For students who prefer a quiet place to study, Anschutz's other level's are much quieter. "It's so quiet upstairs," Zack Sullivan, Riley junior, said. "You can always find a table to study by yourself at." Anschutz's second level, the quiet level, is usually completely silent. MUSIC AND DANCE LIBRARY The Music and Dance Library is located on the second level of Murphy Hall. The shelves are filled with books of music and reference materials about the performing arts. This small library has computers with piano keyboards and practice rooms that are open to students. Despite this being a library where students practice and study music, the library is practically silent, other than the stray note or two. MURPHY ART AND ARCHITECTURE LIBRARY Located on the second floor of the Spencer Museum of Art is a small, quiet and calm library filled with books about the visual arts and their history. This is a good library to go to when in a pinch for a computer or printer. Beyond the bookshelves are study hutches set up as private and quiet places to study. "It's usually pretty empty in here and doesn't get crowded. You can always find a quiet place to work." Ellie Klienwort, St. Ansgar, Iowa, senior, said. "I'm a design student and my inspiration is down here. I can just pull it off the shelf." WATSON LIBRARY Watson is a good place for students who like relaxed places to focus and study. "I like Watson, because the students around MAY 11,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAHY KANSAN ... FINALS GUIDE 7 : D me while I study are respectful and I don't have to ask them to be quiet." Paige Blevins, Great Bend freshman, said. "It really has that library atmosphere that the other libraries don't have so much." The KU Web site says Watson is "the oldest and largest of the University's libraries." It houses collections in the social sciences, humanities, education, journalism and social welfare. SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY Located behind Strong Hall, Spencer Research Library is the perfect place for students to go to write any last-minute history or research papers. Not only does this library hold the University's archives, but it also specializes in research materials and regional history references. SPAHR ENGINEERING LIBRARY Although the reference materials held by Spahr Engineering Library focus on engineering, it's still a great place to study. Spahr has all the amenities of Watson and Anschutz but is less crowded. It's open 24 hours. There are lots of big tables in areas for group study, but it also has quieter, more private places to study, as well. - Edited by Chris Hickerson LIBRARY HOURS FOR FINALS WEEK Anschutz Open Monday through Thursday 24 hours per day, but library services are open from 8 a.m. until midnight. Watson Open Monday through Thrusday from 8 a.m. until 3 a.m., library services stop at midnight. Spahr Engineering Library Open 24 hours a day as a study hall, but services stop at midnight. Spencer Research Library Open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Art and Architecture Library Open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. until 10 p.m., and on Friday from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Music and Dance Library Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. until 10 p.m. and on Friday from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Caleb Sommerville/KANSAN The University offers many libraries for student use, including music and dance, art and architecture, and law collections, such as the one shown above in Green Hall.

Daily violence forces Somalis out of home MOGADISHU, Somalia — Somalis are experiencing near-daily atrocities, including rape, the shelling of civilian areas and fighting that has forced more than 100,000 to flee their homes since May, the U.N. refugee agency said Tuesday. A surge of violence in Somalia since last month has killed about 200 people as Islamist insurgents battle the government and its allies. Insurgents are trying to topple the Western-backed government and install a strict Islamic state. Somalia has not had a functioning government since 1991, and the U.S. worries that Somalia could be a terrorist breeding ground. 2. Pablo Picasso drawings stolen from Paris museum PARIS — A red notebook of 33 pencil drawings by Pablo Picasso has been stolen from a specially locked glass case in the Paris museum that bears the painter's name, authorities said Tuesday. The theft took place between Monday and Tuesday morning at the Picasso Museum, removed from a glass case that "can only be opened with a specific instrument," the Culture Ministry said. A museum employee discovered the notebook was missing Tuesday morning from the second-floor display case. The book is believed to be worth 8 million euros ($11 million). Mitchell talked the man down, wrestled him to the ground and took the gun away. A district spokeswoman, B.J. Greco, said the students were "100 percent safe." The market for stolen art is valued at billions of dollars annually. 3. Hurled acid harms many shoppers in Hong Kong HONG KONG — An unidentified assailant hurled acid in a busy Hong Kong shopping district, injuring 24 pedestrians including a 4-year old girl, police said Tuesday. It was the third in a series of acid attacks that have hurt around 100 people. Police said a bottle of corrosive liquid was thrown on a crowd in the Mong Kok district Monday night. None of the victims, aged 4 to 49, were seriously burned. Investigators have posted a 900,000 Hong Kong dollar ($116,097) reward for information leading to an arrest. The man walked into the school around 11:45 a.m. and confronted Ken Mitchell, the South Orangetown Central School District superintendent, about an unspecified "minor" issue. If convicted, the assailant will be charged a maximum penalty of life imprisonment. NATIONAL 4. Armed man walks into New York middle school ORANGETOWN, N.Y. — An armed man walked into a suburban New York middle school with a handgun Tuesday. No one was injured and no shots were fired in the events at South Orangetown Middle School in Blauvelt, about 20 miles north of New York City, authorities said. 5. Explosion at Slim Jim plant harms employees GARNER, N.C. — An explosion at a Slim Jim meat products plant Tuesday injured at least 38 people, including four who suffered critical burns, and left a toxic cloud around the facility as authorities searched for two people still missing. Jeffrey Hammerstein, district chief with Wake County Emergency Medical Services, said a third person initially reported missing was found and taken to the hospital. Authorities were searching for two others. Hammerstein said 38 people — five tagged as priority patients with serious conditions — were taken to hospitals. Garner Mayor Ronnie Williams said injuries ranged from burns to smoke inhalation. 6. Hussein's source gets four year prison sentence DETROIT — A man described by the Saddam Hussein regime as "our good cooperating source" was sentenced Tuesday to nearly four years in prison for supplying information to Iraq. Najib Shemami, 62, of Sterling Heights, was a frequent traveler from 1996 through 2002, smuggling items into Iraq. U. S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds rejected Shemami's claim that he acted under duress from the Iraqi government. There is no dispute that he told Iraqi authorities about the activities of expatriates in the U.S. He also reported on U.S. military movements in Turkey before the invasion, describing the location of 200 tanks as well as tents for refugees.

"Some days it's really noisy but that's just the nature of the beast," said Eversole, assistant vice provost for student success. Eversole even joked that a coworker said the noise was making her desk vibrate. Since April, construction has taken place behind Strong and Bailey Halls, closing parking behind the two buildings at the intersection of Jayhawk Boulevard and Sunflower Road. The construction has affected many faculty and staff, including those that require handicapped parking and technicians who perform heavy lifting of equipment to and from their cars. Donna Hultine, director of parking and transit, said the tunnel construction behind Bailey and Strong Halls wasn't the only project being worked on during the summer months. Later in the summer, Hutline said there were plans to work on the far west section of the parking lot at the Lied Center and to tear down the old multicultural resource center near the military science building to add more parking spaces in the area. Hultine said most of the construction was projected to be done by early August. Hultine said she knew there were going to be problems with staff parking during the construction, so the department decided to let the staff park in the Kansas Union parking garage, which isn't usually allowed. "A lot of people took advantage of it." Hultine said. Eversole said she would park by Danforth Chapel and walk to her office. She said she thought the parking department made every attempt to let employees know about the project and what their options were. "Parking is a problem on any major campus," Eversole said. "It's just a seat." Tony Brown, a systems specialist who works in Bailey Hall, also parks by Danforth Chapel. Brown said he didn't think it was a "big deal" walking to work every day. temporary disruption." "If this was January, that could be a pain," Brown said. For Brown, the biggest inconvenience was not having a place to load and unload computers from Bailey to other parts of campus. "I wish they had a spot for service vehicles, primarily KU vehicles," Brown said. Brown said he sometimes got to work early or stayed late in order to park in front of Bailey to load computers into his car. He said that although it was an inconvenience, it was not a big deal because he's just one person.

The teens blindedsi 24-year-old Renee Greco on Monday night as she played cards with other residents of the state-licensed home, Lockport Detective Capt. Richard Podgers said. Greco was supervising five 17- and 18-year-old boys by herself when the two teens attacked her with objects taken from the home's basement, police said. The pair, Anthony Allen and Robert Thousand, both of Rochester, were caught early Tuesday after buying bus tickets in Buffalo. They pleaded not guilty at their arraignment Tuesday morning on murder, robbery and burglary charges. A third teen, whose name was not released, was taken into custody with them, but was not part of the plot and was not charged. "What's sad about this is the fact that you have a young girl who devoted her life to trying to make their lives better," Lockport Police Chief Lawrence Eggert said. "She's kind of considered their mother figure ... trying to give them a better life, and this is her reward." Allen, 18, was just a week away from being released and was afraid he would be caught for stealing $160 from the home's office over the weekend, Podgers said. "He decided he was going to go AWOL. He had had enough," Podgers said. "I don't believe she saw it coming. They formulated a plan and carried it out." Podgers described Allen as the ringleader. Allen got the weapons, which authorities declined to describe, and enlisted Thousand, 17, to help, he said. After attacking Greco, the teens broke the door to an office, took money and the home's van and then drove to Buffalo, about 30 miles away. Thousand will be represented by a public defender. Allen will be assigned a lawyer Wednesday. CAMPUS Gray-Little plans increased focus on research, funding BY HANNAH DECLERK hdeclerk@kansan.com KU UNIVERSITY ANSA Bernadette Gray-Little will become the 17th chancellor at the University August 15 after Chancellor Robert Hemenway steps down June 30. Gray-Little is now the executive vice chancellor and provost at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She spent a few minutes with The Kansan to discuss her plans and how it feels to be a Jayhawk. Q: Why did you choose the University of Kansas? A: Before I was even offered the position I tried to make an assessment of it. I decided that KU has a great reputation when it comes to diversity. It is a university that has a wide range of academics whose areas of diversity are consistent with experience. It is also a university where people want to be better than they are. Q: What are your plans for the University and do they differ Bernadette Gray Little, selected to become the University's 17th chancellor, addresses members of the media May 30.

I am not going to do 'this and this' but I have many ideas. One thing I want to focus on is the graduation rate of undergraduates. I want to figure out the factors about why they are not graduating, and then look and support and focus. Another important idea is to improve the University's research profile. I want a full range of research on campus and support increasing the research. I also would like to raise additional money for the research. Q: How do you plan to interact and connect with students? A: Excellent question. With the variety of groups you have to pay close attention. There are going to be organized ways such as open conversations with the students from time to time. I am also open to suggestions from students about ways for interactions. I want the students to know that I want to get to know the students. Q: How does it feel being not only the first female chancellor, but also the first African-American chancellor at the University of Kansas? A: I recognize it is different and important. The University has made a statement in a way and it is being appreciated. When I was in Lawrence the other day eating lunch I had many delighted women come up and congratulate me.

The Kansas Board of Regents called Atkinson and asked her to serve as interim chancellor June 4. Atkinson said she did not expect the offer, but that as interim chancellor she would ensure the transition ran smoothly. She will be spending time both in Lawrence and at the Med Center in Kansas City, Kan. throughout the summer. "I don't have anything specific that I'm going to try to get done," Atkinson said. "I will do whatever it is the new chancellor would like me to do to help prepare her so that she is ready to start right away. Anything she wants to have me do, I'll begin to work on." The two met after the May 29 an nouncement of Gray-Little's appointment and will be meeting again this week to discuss what Gray-Little wants to accomplish this summer. "I am really excited about Dr. Gray Little's appointment. I think she is an outstanding person and a wonderful fit for KU." Atkinson said. Atkinson said she did not think her interim position would require a lot of preparation. She has worked closely with Hemenway for the past seven years and said she knew the position well. She said things were slower in the summer than during the fall and spring. Both educators have extensive backgrounds in medicine. Gray-Little earned both a Ph.D. and an M.S. in psychology at St. Louis University. And at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the administration of the medical school reports directly to her. Atkinson is the executive dean of the KU School of Medicine. Atkinson said Gray-Little's appointment would help the University achieve its 2011 National Cancer Institute designation as well as advance its life- science research. As chancellor, Gray-Little will be a member of the University of Kansas Hospital Authority Board, which manages the University Hospital. Atkinson said the hospital was already looking forward to working with the new chancellor. Hemenway said Atkinson was the perfect choice for interim chancellor because, like Gray-Little, she is familiar with the challenge of balancing the goals of a medical center and a university. "We talk a lot about acting as one university, and Barbara Atkinson really believes in that philosophy. I know that she will do everything in her power to make Chancellor Gray-Little have the support that she needs," Hemenway said. Hemenway has been a strong advocate for the Med Center, helping it achieve many of its goals. In 2005, he declared that the University's number one priority was finding a cure for cancer. "I'll remember Chancellor Hemenway for setting the hospital on the CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Barbara Atkinson, executive vice chancellor of the University of Kansas Medical Center, said she would use her time as interim chancellor this summer to help prepare Bernadette Gray-Little for her new position starting Aug. 15. right course to be successful by allowing it to separate out from the University and into a separate hospital authority, helping generate money and support to build a new research building and for being supportive during our changing curriculum," Atkinson said.

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Chancellor Hemenway waves to the crowd at the 1998 commencement. Hemenway became well know for wearing his straw hat to commencement and outdoor activities throughout the years. Chancellor expresses confidence in Gray-Little's fall arrival BY JUSTIN HILLEY jhilley@kansan.com Chancellor Robert Hemenway's office is crowded with boxes of books in preparation for his June 30 departure, but he still has books that need to be packed before the new chancellor takes over. On May 29, Bernadette Gray-Little, executive vice chancellor and provost for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, was named as Hemenway's replacement and Hemenway has been working to make the transition go smoothly. When he announced that he would step down, Hemenway said he would work on the budget during his final seven months as chancellor. Since then, he has been responding to the Board of Regents' requests for information in its attempt to manage the impact of the state's financial crisis on higher education institutions. The University's budget will be one of Gray-Little's first challenges. She recently told the Daily Tar Heel that the last five months at UNC presented budget problems that prepared her for the budgetary challenges she will face this fall at the University. "Gray-Little has a very distinguished record so there's no question in my mind that she'll be able to help the University make major moves forward," Hemenway said. "I'm just happy that we've been able to hire an absolutely first-rate person." In 2005, Hemenway said the University's number one priority was to achieve the National Cancer Institute's designation as a comprehensive cancer center. Since then, the University of Kansas Cancer Center has created new research programs, recruited international cancer experts and opened a new outpatient facility. The University will submit the application for NCI designation on Sept. 25, 2011. One of Gray-Little's top priorities as chancellor is to help complete the University's campaign to obtain the NCI designation. At the May 30 welcome ceremony held for her in the Kansan Union, Gray-Little said the NCI designation was a sign of the maturity, progressiveness and size of a university's research program. "It would attract researchers, it would attract more funding and it also has the potential to make substantial contributions to the quality of life. So it has many benefits that would be useful to the University and to the world," she said. Michael O'Malley, associate director for the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, said Gray-Little was a fabulous provost and a good friend to the cancer center. He said she helped guide the cancer center's effort to reach out to different schools and departments across the UNC campus. "Getting someone who has worked with a cancer center before and understands how to help build those bridges and to appreciate having a cancer center can help build the whole biomedical research enterprise," OMalley said. He also said he thought Gray-Little would benefit the University in other ways. "There been a trade: We got Coach Williams, KU gets Dr. Gray. Little," O'Malley said. "Let's call it even, and I think it is even. He's a great coach and I think he's going to be a great chancellor for KU." At the welcome ceremony, Donna Shank, chair of the Kansas Board of Regents, said she agreed with Gray-Little's feeling that a university should treat the importance of having a top-ranked athletics program the same as the importance of having top faculty and researchers. Hemenway said he was confident this would happen under Gray-Little's leadership. "I think that it's appropriate to have that balance between the academic life of a university, which is always number one, and the athletic part of the university, which is supporting of academics," Hemenway said. Although he said he had no specific recommendations for Gray-Little. Hemenway said he was sure she would figure out the best way to create an equilibrium. Hemenway said that he thought every University chancellor would say working with students was the most enjoyable part of the job and that he always hoped he was doing the best for students. "I've loved every minute of the fourteen years that I've been chancellor, and I just want to thank everyone for the support that they gave me and the success for the future that came out of my experience. I love KU, and I think KU is the kind of place that you can spend a lot of time feeling good about." — Edited by Hannah DeClerk ADMINISTRATION Board of Regents offers Gray-Little larger salary than outgoing chancellor BY JESSE RANGEL jrangel@kansan.com The Board of Regents announced the salary of incoming chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little this week, and it is nearly an $85,000 jump from the salary of the outgoing chancellor. According to information compiled by Kip Peterson, director of government relations & communications for the Regents, Gray-Little will earn a maximum of $425,000 per year, up from $340,352 for Chancellor Robert Hemenway. The state contribution of $267,177 will remain the same. The extra $84,648 will be made up in money from private donations. Gray-Little also has a deferred compensation clause in her agreement. Of the $425,000 per year, $25,000 per year will be set aside and will not be paid until she finishes her service as chancellor. Other university leaders across the country that the Regents said Gray-Little trails in compensation include Sally Mason, University of Iowa president and Holden Thorp, the chancellor of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Richard Lariviere, former provost for the University, now makes $425,700 per year as president of the University of Oregon, although private money picks up $180,000 of that amount. The extra private funds for Gray Little's salary will come from sources such as the University Leadership Professorship at the Kansas University Endowment Association, a fund started in 2002 with a $1 million gift to support the chancellor's position. Dale Seuferling, president of the Endowment Association said the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees had approved an allocation of unrestricted funds. The need for more private funds to help support a new cancellor's salary was identified early on in the chancellor's search processes by the Regents, and they contacted the Endowment Association, which agreed to make the extra funding available. "Part of the mission at KU Endowment is to provide resources to recruit a highly talented chancellor, similar to providing support to recruit top faculty and meritorious students," Seuferling said. — Edited by Derek Zarda THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 2009 NEWS 7 CONSTRUCTION (CONTINUED FROM 3) difficult for those who needed handicapped parking. Betty Childers, a senior administrative associate at the University Registrar office in Strong Hall, has a handicapped parking pass because she suffers from arthritis in her feet, legs and hips, which makes walking long distances and taking stairs difficult. Childers said she typically parked at the far end of Strong Hall or behind Snow Hall. Childers said she had to arrive early just to get a parking spot. "Being here at 7:30 and I can't find a parking spot is very frustrating," Childers said. Childers said the parking situation had also affected other co-workers. "I've had conversations with several people with blue and gold permits about them having to park in the red zones and they're unhappy with that," Childers said. According to the KU Parking and Transit Department, the gold passes are for employees approved by the provost, blue passes are for faculty members whose age and years of service add up to a minimum of 62 years and red passes are for all University employees. Some staff members said they were upset about the disruption of parking permits because they felt that their service and dedication to the University should earn them the privilege of parking in the gold and blue spots. Childers also has difficulties with the Park and Ride system running from the Union parking garage. She said it wasn't a good option for people with disabilities because of having to adjust to the bus schedule, but said she relied on it when she couldn't find a close parking spot. Those with gold permits can park directly in front of and behind Strong and Bailey Halls, whereas the red parking zone is located farther down the hill on Memorial Drive. “If Park and Ride weren't running, it would be really horrible,” Childers said. Childers said that although parking had been difficult with the construction, she knew it was necessary. "It was so uneven before," Childers said. "I'm sure it will be a nice parking lot in the back, but time will tell." DOWNTOWN Edited by Kristen Liszewski Annual film festival offers classic Hepburn and Tracy BY MIKE BONTRAGER mbontrager@kansan.com The annual Downtown Lawrence Film Festival starts this Thursday with a showing of "Woman of the Year," a 1940s film starring Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. This is the first of six films starring Hepburn and Tracy that will be played during the summer. The festival starts at 8 p.m. in the empty lot next to the parking garage on Ninth and New Hampshire Streets with live music performed by the band Two Much Fun, free popcorn and prize drawings that will include t-shirts and gift certificates. The movie begins at 9:15 p.m. and will be projected on the wall of the parking garage. Those attending can bring blankets or lawn chairs. In case of rain, the festival will be moved to the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St. Jane Pennington, director of Downtown Lawrence Incorporated, said this was the third year for the event and that the past two had attracted between 250 and 300 people. Pennington said the festival was originally conceived as a film noir festival, which would include darker films with crime, murder and sexual themes. This year the board of Downtown Lawrence Incorporated wanted the films to be more family friendly. Duane Peterson, parks and recreation special events supervisor, selected the musical acts preceding the films. Peterson said Two Much Fun was a local band that had put on good performances before and had a variety of styles he thought people would enjoy. Dan Hughes, president of Downtown Lawrence Incorporated, has been involved with the festival all three years and will act as master of ceremonies for the event. Hughes FILM FESTIVAL SCHEDULE June 11: Woman of the Year June 25: Without Love July 9: State of the Union July 23: Adam's Rib August 13: Pat and Mike August 27: Guess Who's Coming To Dinner said people in the past had enjoyed the film selection and that he thought this year's theme of Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy would have the same resonance. He said he hoped there would be a younger audience attending the event. "Having the film festival outdoors and projecting it on the side of the parking garage is kind of a novel way of showing the films," Hughes said. "It's free, there's free popcorn, you can bring your family and it's a great way to kind of spend the evening." "Woman of the Year" won Academy Awards for best writing and original screenplay in 1943.

But staying in touch with friends isn't the site's only use. What some Facebook users may not realize is that employers use the site when considering applicants, for better or worse. Journalism professor David Perlmutter, author of "Blog Wars," said it was becoming increasingly well-known that employers looked at job applicants' Facebook profiles. He said employers might look at an applicant's Facebook to see if there were any issues with integrity or radical feelings or opinions, as well as any evidence of drug abuse. Employers may also look for opinions or interests that conflict with the interests of the hiring company. Perlmutter said Facebook photos could be an important factor in an employer's decision. "Toasting with a beer, they might not care about, but if police would take an interest, then it's an issue," Perlmutter said. According to a survey conducted by CareerBuilder.com, 22 percent of employers said they were already checking social networks such as Facebook to screen candidates, while an additional 9 percent said they were planning to do so. The survey showed that the main concerns for employers included information about alcohol or drug use, inappropriate photos or information posted on a candidate's page, poor communication skills, notes showing links to criminal behavior and confidential information about past employers. Kormanik's favorite feature is Facebook photos; she said she had made 52 albums on her profile. She said she did not care whether friends tagged her in pictures on Facebook, as long as the pictures were really of her. She said she never did anything she was worried about others seeing. "You can tell a lot about a person by looking at what kinds of pictures they post on Facebook," Kormanik said. She said she had heard of younger kids being grounded and others losing jobs they were interviewing for because of pictures they posted on Facebook. Michael Williams, associate professor of journalism, said he had known students who were dismased to learn that employers looked for anything about them online. Perlmutter said students could change their privacy settings on Facebook or create a separate identity with a false name for friends only. Otherwise, students concerned about their profiles would have to censor themselves or get off Facebook entirely, Perlmutter said. Although many students have caught on to the fact that they need to censor what the general public can see on their Facebook profiles to protect themselves, the latest way some students have been able to utilize Facebook is by creating a professional looking profile that lets employers see more about them. "Facebook is being used by a lot of users to build contact networks, but it is being used increasingly by students to let employers know more about them," Williams said. Williams said employers could be impressed by an applicant's circle of contacts and networks. "Having a lot of contacts says something about you," Williams said. "It has some positive possibilities." Edited by Zach White Tips to make your Facebook profile enhance your resume from Professor Michael Williams: Keep your profile clean of profanity, radical rhetoric, or embarrassing pictures Make your profile look professional by using Facebook applications that demonstrate your special talents or interests Feature a wide range of friends on Facebook to demonstrate you have a large circle of contacts Use your Personal Information, Contact Information, Education Work Information and Groups to tell employers about yourself in a positive, impressive way.

It's just another part of me." Music: The Yeah Yeah Yeahs Associated Press I honestly can't remember much of the concert the Yeah Yeah Yeahs played on June 3 at the Beaumont Club in Kansas City, Mo. I was left with stinging neon afterimages and a newfound addiction to Yeah Yeah Yeahs concerts. I'd better come clean now: I'm a Yeah Yeah Yeahs fan. I'll tell you the truth. I'm not a fan of this type of music. But I like how she's playing it. It's really cool. And I love her voice. The group played its old songs with gusto, despite this tour being a promotion for its new album, "It's Blitz!" For the first song, "Heads Will Roll", lead singer Karen O wore a bizarre hood that had a spiral of pink lights. This playful eccentricity defines, at least in part, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' music. The group's image, with crazy Karen O at front and center with her band mates cloaked in the shadows, meshes with its music with startling fluidity. Adam Schoof/KANSAN It's hard to categorize the Yeah Yeah Yeahs in a genre, especially with the group's new album, in which it has incorporated a new synthetic sound to its minimalist guitar-and-drums music. Yet the group members have not drifted from their roots; they've simply elevated themselves, very daintily, to the next level. Adam Schoof 10 **10.** Music: Peter Bjorn and John ine trio Peter Bjorn and John have come out with its fifth album "Living Thing," an album chock full of electronic beats, swelling guitars and odd lyrics. The group swayed away from the indie feel of its third album "Writer's Block" and created something unexpected. Though the head-bopping single "Nothing to Worry About" makes the album, it feels as if the rest of the tunes are trying to be just as good as it is — The melody in the title track "Living Thing" evokes a flashback to the swooning vocal lines in The Lion King, and is hard to take seriously, which could very well be the point, but it doesn't mesh well with the seemingly serious lyrics of the track. and don't make the cut. Overall, the album is not worth the money. If you enjoy a tune that lets you get down, then purchase "Nothing to Worry About" on iTunes. It's worth the buck. — Ross Stewart THE LAST STOP Music: The Dave Matthews Band LeRoi Moore, saxophonist for the Dave Matthews Band for 20 years, died last August at 46 of complications from injuries suffered in an off-road-vehicle accident on his farm in Virginia. He died early in the production of "Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King," however his presence is felt in every aspect of the album. The first track, "Grux," begins with a tribute to Moore, with a high pitched saxophone melody backed up by drummer Carter Beauford and bassist Stefan Lessard. Not only is LeRoil's presence felt throughout the album, but his death creates an ominous presence that The album's undertones are not all about LeRoi's death, but also a eulogy dedicated to his life. After mixing Moore's solos, death undertones, and lyrical praises, "Big Whiskey" seems a funeral procession in itself, contributing to the deepest album Matthews has made yet. can only be created by a tragedy.

EDITOR'S NOTE PAGE 11 Lawrence is the place to be over the summer versus any other BY JESSE TRIMBLE jtrimble@kansan.com I took classes over the summer right after my freshman year and received one of the greatest opportunities available to students — the opportunity to live in Lawrence in the summer. Although it looked as though someone had been murdered on my dorm room mattress, I grinned and beared it and had one of the best summers I can remember. Lawrence is a magical place any other time of the year even though it may not seem like it when you're cranking out that English paper at 3 a.m. But the best time to live in Lawrence, in my opinion, is during the summer. Yes, parking is a pain, but when is it not? Yes, there's always a ton of construction going on. Read Jason's story on page 3 to find out more about where you can park this summer. But with campus virtually empty compared to the spring and fall semesters, Lawrence carries an air of calm, lazy summer days and nights. Although many of you may be enrolled in a few classes, the work load for most is condensed considerably, allowing you to experience Lawrence for what it really is. Whether you go to a local bar and sip on a beer outside at a bar patio or visit the Farmer's Market, the opportunities are endless. Check out Mike's story on page 7 for more information on what movies Downtown Lawrence Incorporated will be playing over the summer. For now, I'll be sipping on a Boulevard at the Eighth Street Taproom. EDITORIAL BOARD University makes smart decision when filling chancellor's position The selection of Bernadette Gray-Little as the 17th chancellor of the University of Kansas was by all measures an excellent choice by the Kansas Board of Regents. Gray-Little brings a great deal of valuable leadership experience and good judgment to the chancellor's office and is well suited to guide the University. Because Gray-Little is entering the job at age 64, the choice may have raised a few eyebrows. But, her age should not be viewed as a shortcoming. It should be seen as an advantage. In her welcoming ceremony last week, the incoming chancellor said she expected this to be her last professional post — something that should reassure KU students, staff and faculty. Gray-Little won't spend any time job searching. This isn't a jumping post or a step towards something better — she plans to retire from the University of Kansas. With vacancies in the office of the provost and office of the KANSAN'S OPINION dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, finding qualified replacements may seem like a daunting task. But Gray-Little is uniquely suited to fill these roles. She has served as the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of North Carolina and currently serves as the executive vice chancellor and provost. She knows the demands and responsibilities of these positions and will be able to choose the best-suited individuals for the posts. In her time at UNC, Gray-Little has climbed the administration's ranks at an impressive rate. At seven pages long, her résumé is certainly impressive. A licensed practicing psychologist, Gray-Little has been a Fulbright Fellow and in May received the UNC Distinguished Service Award. As large public research institutions, the University and the University of North Carolina have a lot in common. Gray-Little currently oversees UNC's medical campus, which has already been designated as a National Cancer Institute. This experience should help the University achieve that same goal. Gray-Little identified education and research as her main goals for the University. This should assure students that the new chancellor's priorities are in the academic realm, not with outside influences such as the Athletics Department. Gray-Little brings quality experience and is a promising replacement for Chancellor Hememay. - Kevin Hardy for The Kansan Editorial Board IN CASE YOU MISSED IT CINEMAS Last week's items you might have missed.

Andrew Hoxey/KANSAN Sculpture gives new life Visiting artist Patrick Dougherty designed the sculpture BY ANNIE VANGSNES avangsnes@kansan.com A dying tree on Spooner Hall lawn gave the University a chance to combine art and nature in a sculpture made of tree saplings. The Spencer Museum of Art commissioned artist Patrick Dougherty to build a sapling sculpture called "The Bedazzler". It is one of more than 200 sculptures Dougherty has created worldwide. Dougherty said he chose the site because Spooner Hall was an interesting building and because there was a lot of traffic surrounding it. "It gave me the idea of a colossal spinning object," Dougherty said. "It does in fact feel like some of the motion going on up there." Dougherty and about 10 students, graduates, faculty and community members worked every day for the last three weeks in May to complete the sculpture. The sculpture used about 6,000 pounds of Silver Maple and Roughleaf Dogwood saplings. Bryan Lloyd, 2009 graduate, worked on the sculpture on four "It's experience you couldn't get in a class." BRYAN LLOYD 2009 graduate different occasions. Lloyd said that the experience was hands-on and that Dougherty gave the volunteers freedom in weaving the saplings and constructing the piece. One of Lloyd's favorite parts about working on the project was getting to talk to Dougherty. "His opinions on art are very interesting about what's pleasing to the eye," Lloyd said. "It's experience you couldn't get in a class." Dougherty first visited the site in February 2008 and at that time chose an ideal harvest site for the saplings near Clintor Lake. Emily Ryan, museum project coordinator, said it was interesting to see how much was involved in the building process. She said there were several problems with the harvest sites for the saplings. The first harvest site flooded from heavy spring rain and project coordinators had to find an alternate location. Other sites were completely overrun with poison ivy. Dougherty said all of the saplings were cut in a way that would allow them to grow back, and were cut from areas where they were anc KANSAN 0,2009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 2009 NEWS 13 key/KANSAN used rope recent ife lpture experience you A man in a dark shirt and gloves is walking through tall grasses near a lake, with a canoe partially visible in the foreground. surveyed the site in nat time chose窟vest site for near Clinton ayan, museum ordinator, said resting to see was involved holding process where were sev- le harvest sites first harvest site bring rain and ad to find an other sites were with poison ivy of the saplings it would allow back, and were they were Andrew Hoxev/KANSAN Above: David Cogorno, MFA candidate in sculpture, unloads fresh-cut saplings from a canoe.

Ryan said her favorite part of the project was the involvement with the artist and his creation. She said most people didn't have the opportunity to be with an artist while he was creating and weren't usually welcomed to tag along. "Everybody has some sort of ownership with it," Ryan said. "If that means climbing through an acre of poison ivy, they'll do it. You don't always get to be part of the whole process and there's a great deal of personal satisfaction people get from that." "The material itself seems to be promotive of a deeper view of mankind." Carolyn Chinn Lewis, assistant director of the museum, said that the sculpture was expected to stay up about 18-to-24 months, but that it PATRICK DOUGHERTY Artist depended on how and when the sculpture deteriorated.

BY ADAM SCHOOF aschoof@kansan.com Last week, when Christine Nichols got off work, she found her car's windshield smashed. Nichols, a KU almunus, said the incident was a reality check for her. "It made me feel a little less safe than before, not as naive as before," Nichols said. Although nothing from her car was stolen, she said she wouldn't be keeping valuables in her car anymore. With much of the student population away for the summer months, crime still remains to be a problem for the city, even though the frequency may have decreased on campus. Captain Schuyler Bailey with the KU Public Safety Office said the crime rate on campus was affected by the lessened student population. Bailey said that when 30,000 students moved away, the crime rate dwindled along with the population. "Everything decreases," Bailey said. "The parking lots aren't filled with cars, the dorms aren't filled with laptops and iPods." 2300 Wakarusa Dr. 785-749-1288 Amy Stack, Kansas City, Kan., senior, said she thought fewer people "It almost feels less safe on campus because there's fewer people around." Stack said. "It feels like there would be less people in the case of an incident." on campus was disquieting. Bailey said the Public Safety Office made no changes to its operations for the summer because the dorms were filled with summer camps participants. Sergeant Bill Cory with the Lawrence Police Department said Lawrence was generally a safe community to live in year-round, with students or without. "We've got a population to protect," Bailey said. "It's just a different population." Like the Public Safety Office, the Lawrence Police Department makes no changes to its operations during the summer months. Police Department Web site do not show a disproportionate change in the number of crimes for the summer. The Kansas Incident Based Reporting System Statistics (KIBRS), which counts all the crimes and offenses committed year-round, accounts the summer months of June, July and August for about 25 percent of the total number of crimes. "One instance in March isn't going to affect the crime rate in June, July or August," Cory said. "We stay busy year-round," Cory said. When asked about the relatively recent shooting at the Hawk, Cory said that having a shooting wasn't out of the ordinary for Lawrence anymore. Crime statistics from the Lawrence Heidi Raak, owner of The Raven bookstore, said she wasn't worried about crime except for shoplifting, which she said she thought would always happen. She said that she didn't think the student population increased crime and that she felt no more or less safe in the summer. William Riggs, Lawrence sophomore, had his garage door vandalized last week and had to replace it for $400. He said he didn't feel any more or less safe since the incident, and didn't find the summer any safer than the other seasons. Although the college student population is mostly gone, he said he thought that the poor economy had given local youths fewer job opportunities over the summer and led them to act out with vandalism.

H1N1 hits Douglas County Voted Best Pool Hall by Students FREE POOL Sun-Thurs (after midnight) POKER Sun & Wed Cash Prizes DAILY SPECIALS listed on the back cover Pool Room HEALTH Voted Best Pool Hall by Students BY DYLAN SANDS dsands@kansan.com "We asked him to isolate and stay at home to limit contact with others," Horn said. Pool Room The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department has confirmed two cases of H1N1, commonly known as the swine flu, in Douglas County in the last two weeks. She added that a case of H1N1 had also been confirmed in Leavenworth County, which includes the cities of Leavenworth and Tonganoxie. Horn said the patient in the second case showed mild symptoms and had been asked to isolate from others until recovery. Horn said she did not think the flu should affect students' travel plans for the summer. "At this point, travel isn't as big a concern as it was early in the outbreak," she said. "The disease is so widespread that changing travel plans to avoid infection is not really a recommendation. It's just not something you can really avoid. Lisa Horn, spokeswoman for the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, said the man diagnosed with the first case was in the later stages of the illness and was no longer contagious. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there have been 92 confirmed cases of H1N1 in the state of Kansas. Out of 13,217 cases in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, only 27 have resulted in death. Patricia Denning, chief of medical services at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said outbreaks in other countries were also of concern at the health center. "They did have a travel ban to and from Mexico in May, but they did lift that. We do watch that because we have a lot of students traveling to study abroad," she said. Denning also said that while H1N1 has affected people internationally, there was no need to panic because the flu has a low mortality rate. "All that indicates is how widespread it is, not how virulent," she said. Both Horn and Denning suggested simple tips for avoiding not only H1N1, but most viruses in general, including: Thoroughly washing hands daily with soap and water. "When we say wash your hands, very few wash their hands correctly or well enough. When you're washing your hands, that means lots of soap and water and working between your fingers and say your ABCs." slowly twice. It's not a dash under the sink and a slap with the soap," Denning said. Avoid touching the "triangle" of your eyes, nose and mouth. Harmful bacteria on your hands could be spread to these areas by touching. Denning said that being aware of one's surroundings and avoiding others who exhibit symptoms of illness was important to staying healthy. "We can, as caregivers or parents, tell people to do this, and the kind of blow it off. But if we can encourage this policing it can make a difference." Denning said. Denning said students should be aware of the symptoms of H1N1, which are similar to the symptoms of any flu virus: fever, body ache, sore throat, cough, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. "If people are feeling poorly, we encourage you to take your temperature and if it is high, call a health care provider," Denning said. She said more thorough testing was needed to confirm whether or not a patient has H1N1. A nasal test must be administered and the results sent to a state facility that tests for H1N1 strains. — Edited by Zach White Online College Courses BARTONline.org Having trouble getting your class schedule to work?

David Lee Gage, 52, of Wichita, was found dead at the Sedgwick County Jail early Monday after another inmate who was headed to breakfast looked through the window to Gage's cell and saw his motionless body, said Maj. Glenn Kurtz of the county sheriff's office. The office did not immediately say how Gage died except to say that he apparently killed himself. "There were no warning signals that we found," Kurtz said. "We're looking at medical files, we're looking at records, and there is nothing to indicate a trigger or warning sign that we could have seen." Gage had pleaded for leniency when he was convicted in May, telling a judge he had health issues and didn't think he had long to live. Assistant prosecutor Justin Edwards said Tuesday that Gage "made a big point that he was thinking his life wouldn't last much longer because of a family history of short life expectancy." Gage had been awaiting transfer to prison, where he was to spend the next three decades after being convicted of seven felony counts, including rape, aggravated criminal sodomy, aggravated robbery and aggravated assault.

ASSOCIATED PRESS BY MARK S. SMITH Associated Press RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — President Barack Obama began his latest bid to open a dialogue with the Muslim world by paying a call Wednesday on Saudi King Abdullah, guardian of Islam's sacred sites in Mecca and Medina. The monarch of Saudi Arabia greeted Obama at Riyadh's main airport with a ceremony when the new U.S. president arrived after an overnight flight from Washington. A band played "The Star-Spangled Banner" and each leader shook hands with members of his counterpart's entourage. Perched on ornate chairs behind a flower arrangement, Obama and Abdullah then chatted briefly in public and shook hands, with cameras capturing the scene. Then they retreated to hold private talks on a range of issues. Saudi Arabia is a stopover en route to Cairo, where Obama delivered a speech that he'd been promising since last year's election campaign — aimed at setting a new tone in America's often-strained dealings with the world's 1.5 billion Muslims. Many of those Muslims still smolder over Iraq, Guantanamo and unflinching U.S. support of Israel, but they are hoping the son of a Kenyan Muslim who lived part of his childhood in Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim country, can help chart a new course. "You know, there are misapprehensions about the West on the part of the Muslim world," Obama said in a pretrip interview with the BBC. "And, obviously, there are some big misapprehensions about the Muslim world when it comes to those of us in the West." Aides cautioned that Obama was not out to break new policy ground in his Cairo speech, which follows visits to Turkey and Iraq in April and a series of outreach efforts including a Persian New Year video and a student town hall in Istanbul. And they said the president is not expecting quick results, even though the speech will be distributed as widely as possible. "We don't expect that everything will change after one speech," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Tuesday. "I think it will take a sustained effort and that's what the president is in for." Officials said Obama also wouldn't flinch from difficult topics, whether it's the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts, the goal of a Palestinian state or democracy and human rights. Obama has been criticized for setting the address in Egypt, where President Hosni Mubarak has jailed dissidents and clung to power for nearly three decades. In Riyadh, the president was talking to Abdullah about a host of thorny problems, from Arab-Israeli peace efforts to Iran's nuclear program. The Saudis have voiced growing concern in private that an Iranian bomb could unleash a nuclear arms race in the region. The surge in oil prices also was on the agenda. Crude topped $68 a barrel this week, sparking fears that a fresh jump in energy costs could snuff out early sparks of a recovery from a deep global slump. Obama likely will be looking for help from Saudi Arabia on what to do with some 100 Yemeni detainees locked up in the Guantanamo Bay prison. Discussions over where to send the Yemeni detainees have complicated Obama's plan to close the prison. The U.S. has been hesitant to send them home because of Yemen's history of either releasing extremists or allowing them to escape from prison. Instead, the Obama administration has been negotiating with Saudi Arabia and Yemen for months to send them to Saudi terrorist rehabilitation center. The president was to stay overnight at the king's horse farm in the desert outside Riyadh. Abdullah, who hosted then-President George W. Bush at the ranch in January of last year, keeps some 260 Arabian horses on its sprawling grounds in air-conditioned comfort. In any effort to court Muslims, the Saudis will be key — not just for their oil wealth, but by virtue of the authority they wield at the center of Arab history and culture.

WWW.KANSAN.COM PAGE 20 BASEBALL Tony Thomspon to try out for Team USA BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com - Sophomore third baseman Tony Thompson didn't even realize that Team USA was still looking for players. He figured that, with the college season all but over and the professional season well under way, the national team's roster would be set. That doesn't mean he wasn't excited when Jayhawks coach Ritch Price told him he was wrong, and that the United States national team wanted Thompson to come tryout. "I really didn't know anything about it until our interviews at the end of he year," Thompson said. "Skip told me when we all went in for our end of season meetings that they wanted me to go out there. So when he told me that, it was pretty amazing. It was a great honor for我." Price said he recommended Thompson not only for his skill on the baseball diamond — Thompson had arguably the most productive season at the plate ever by a Jayhawk — but also for his character off of it. "When I recommended Tony to Team USA, I was proud to point out that not only is he an outstanding player, he is an even better person." Price said. "He will represent our country, himself, his family, the University of Kansas and our program in a first-class manner." Thompson, who hit .389 with 21 home runs and 82 RBI and became the first Triple Crown winner in Big 12 history (leading the conference in all three categories), was one of 36 players to get the invite. Despite fighting for a spot on the roster against some of the top players in the country, Thompson feels comfortable in his abilities. "I feel pretty confident," Thompson said. "If I play the way I have the whole year, I think I'll have a pretty good shot." Price also said he thought Thompson had the ability to represent the University and the country in international play. "I am confident that he will continue to play this great game at the highest level and will earn a roster spot on our 2009 team," Price said. Thompson will have the chance to see if Price's and his own confidence is well founded starting June 14. The final 22-man roster will be announced 10 days after the start of tryouts, on June 24. "Even if I don't make the team, just the honor of being invited to play for my country is really amazing," Thompson said. If he does make it through tryouts unscathed, hed become the first Jayhawk to do so as a player. Price was an assistant coach on 2008's undefeated national team, but no player from the University of Kansas has ever donned the national colors in international play. "It's amazing," Thompson said. "I never thought I'd have the chance to do that. When Skip told me that I had the chance to play for Team USA in international competition, it was really pretty humbling. Just knowing that, you know, I'm representing not only myself and the University of Kansas, but also our country, that would be the greatest honor I could have." Should Thompson make the final roster, he will be part of a team that will play host to other teams including the Canadian national team, and will travel as far as Japan for games. Price said the experience would be one that Thompson would remember forever. "Having been an assistant coach on the 2008 gold medal and undefeated club, I know first-hand the experiences that lie in front of Tony." Price said. "It will be the greatest experience of his baseball life."

For Kansas baseball, this was the final note on a well-played season. The Jayhawks swept a then No. 1 Texas Longhorns team in March, had a 30-3 record at home, were ranked in the Top 25 for the first time in three years and made it all the way to the finals of Regionals. Coach Ritch Price said this was a step in the right direction for the team as it grew and matured. "And I think we'll be better for the experience a year from now and in the future that we were able to get to the championship game today," Price said. The 64 teams were broken up into groups of four in 16 cities across the country to battle it out in a doubleelimination tournament. The winner of the Regionals tournament competes in the Super Regionals, which leads to competing in the College World Series in Omaha, Neb.

Behind us now, as quick as it began, is another weekend in the world of sports. Plentiful offerings were to be bad. That is unless your event of choice was to be broadcast on the glut of channels blacked out by a despicable outage at Sunflower Broadband Sunday. All told we had a series that, save for one brief success, saw the Royals continue their annual (albeit delayed) spiral into mediocrity. Greinke is even getting roughed up these days. The Belmont Stakes were run Saturday in what will be horse racing's last camp under the spotlight this year. If it gets major publicity between now and the next Kentucky Derby, something bad has probably happened. The NBA and NHL Finals looked prime for a swift conclusion at weekend's end. THE FULL MONTY BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR smontemayor@kansan.com And Roger Federer captured his elusive French Open title, stoking further discussion of his credentials as the sport's king. He grabbed that title, however, not at the expense of the world's No.1 player, Rafael Nadal. Now that would have been a contest everyone would have been desperate to see — as much as, if not more than, the Kobe-LeBron rivalry that isn't. In hand-to-hand combat, however, such a bout was to be seen. Two competitors at the top of their class bleeding the best out of one another. World Extreme Cage fighting featherweight champ Mike Brown retained his strap with an Instant Classic five-round unanimous decision against Uriijah Faber Sunday night at WEC 41 in Sacramento, Calif. The night before, Strikeforce was in St. Louis, Mo. for a Showtime card with equal electricity, albeit the kind that arrives in short, violent bursts. Let us first speak on Brown-Faber 2. Broadcast free on VERSUS, this bout would've netted its fair share of pay-per-view buys alone. Brown (22-4) stopped Faber (22-3) last November for the belt after catching him off a failed spinning elbow attempt. Each with an additional successful match under their belts before tonight, the two combined for the company's, and likely the division's, most anticipated fight. It delivered. Faber returned to his hometown with a chorus of jubilation and expectations of regaining his title via a storybook scene. Brown arrived to a Arco Arena that rained boos and ill will as if it were filled with 10,000 beasts with hate in their eyes. The first round began explosively, with Faber taking the opener. Faber connected on several stiff blows, kicks and elbows, immediately cutting Brown's right eye but also delivering himself a fatal blow. The fight went all five rounds but the broken right hand Faber experienced between the first and second round dealt the challenger an adversity he couldn't overcome. Faber was forced to rely exclusively on elbows - which he landed with marked success - and kicks but when it went to the mat for the umpteenth time by the fifth round, Faber's shattered hand could not allow him the choke hold he so desperately needed. Twenty-five minutes of excruciating pain for Faber. A continuing emergence of Brown as one of the sports' premier fighters. A rivalry that, title or no title, by the time Faber is healed deserves to produce a trilogy. @KANSAN.COM Check out Kansan writer Stephen Montemayor's blog for updates on sports. The FULL MONTY Up next for Brown will likely be Jose Aldo (15-1) who flew out of his corner and crushed a bent knee into the face of Cub Swanson (13-3) to end the fight before the last echoes of the opening bell could dissipate. The opening bout at WEC 41 was a tough-to-watch 34-second submission of the legendary Jens Pulver (22-12-1) and Josh Grispi (13-1). The loss was Pulver's fourth straight and if generations of fading boxes is any indication, these legends exit stage left with equal difficulty.

Dartmouth University. to a 2-0 lead in the first inning thanks to senior catcher Buck Afenir's two-run home run. Afenir went 3-for-3 on the day, scoring four runs. The Jayhawks were able to keep Dartmouth from scoring thanks to the left arm of junior pitcher Shaeffer Hall. Hall threw for a complete game, allowing only five hits and getting six strikeouts. "We had to," Hall said in a press conference on May 30 about pitching the whole game. "With some upcoming games, I had to go deep." Hall said he focused on one inning at a time to help him get "My compliments to North Carolina. They certainly deserve to be a national seed." Price had nothing but praise for his starting pitcher. through. "I think after we got beat up yesterday on the mound, especially when you need to turn your team around, you start with the starting pitcher," Price said in a press conference on May 30. "And he was really special today." RITCH PRICE Coach With the victory against Dartmouth, Kansas went 1-1 and played the second seed Coastal Carolina Chanticleers again in the semi-finals. The Jayhawks won 5-1. "Obviously they're one of the top programs in the country, and it's a great win for Kansas," Price said in a press conference. Kansas got an early lead thanks to sophomore right fielder Brian Heere's single that allowed junior second baseman Robby Price to score 1-0. It wasn't until the seventh inning before either team scored another run. Catcher Jose Iglesias scored the only run for Coastal Carolina off a home run in the top of the seventh inning. But the Jayhawks responded in the bottom of the seventh scoring three runs, including a single by junior shortstop David Narodowski into left field, allowing freshman first baseman Zac Elgie and senior center fielder Nick Faunce to score. With that victory, Kansas faced the number one seed North Carolina in the Regional finals. The winner would move on to the Super Regionals and have a chance to play in the College World Series. With the help of pitcher Adam Warren, the North Carolina Tar Heels held the Jayhawks scoreless until the ninth inning. Warren pitched 6 and 2/3 innings, allowing only five hits and striking out eight batters. "He kept us in check most of the day, and hats off to him," sophomore third baseman Tony Thompson said of Warren in a press conference on May 31. "He was a fantastic pitcher, one of the best we've seen all year." Thompson was the only Jayhawk to score a run against the Tar Heels, hitting a home run in the ninth inning before the Jayhawks fell to the Tar Heels 12-1. "My compliments to North Carolina," Price said after the game. "Certainly they deserve to be a national seed." Although its journey to Omaha came to an end early, the team was pleased with the way season turned out. "I think we put Kansas baseball on the map with what we've done this year." Thompson said.

U. S. District Judge John W. Darrah also required the 56-year-old former fullback to perform 200 hours of community service and pay $25,000 in restitution and forfeit $50,000. He'll also serve two years of probation, including the year he is confined to his home. Harper, who was in the same backfield with Walter Payton, pleaded guilty last year to mail fraud. Defense attorney Patrick J. Cotter said Harper is now broke and faces an array of civil lawsuits stemming from his efforts to be successful in the business world. "Roland Harper may have been a great football player but he is a terrible businessman." Cotter said. Harper, who is black, was hoping to learn the landscaping business but soon found himself the front man in a plot by a white landscaper to get a contract set aside for a minority firm, Cotter said. Harper went into the contract with honest intentions, his attorney said. Landscaper Aiden Monahan was sentenced in April after pleading guilty as the mastermind of the fraud. Associated Press AN 09 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 2009 SPORTS 23 SPORTS Red Wings face tough competition this season against Penguins LIDSTROM 5 Detroit Red Wings defenceman Brian Rafalski celebrates with defenceman Nicklas Lidstrom, of Sweden, after scoring the fourth goal against the Pittsburgh Penguins during second period of Game 5 of the NHL hockey Stanley Cup finals in Detroit on June 6. ASSOCIATED PRESS Associated Press PITTSBURG — Nicklas Lidstrom carried his traveling bag back into the hotel for the Red Wings' final road trip of the season. If all goes well for the Detroit captain and his teammates, Lidstrom will be lugging his luggage along with the Stanley Cup out of Pittsburgh for the second straight year. The Red Wings returned to the Steel City on Monday, the eve of Game 6 of the Stanley Cup finals. Like a year ago, Detroit owns a 3-2 lead over the Pittsburgh Penguins and can wrap up another championship on the ice at Mellon Arena. "We know as a team that we're not there yet," Lidstrom said upon his arrival. "We know we need another win to get to where we want to be." If anyone knows what it takes to reach that supreme level it's Lidstrom and his teammates, many of whom join him in going for their fifth championship in 12 seasons. Game 6 has been quite kind to the Red Wings. Detroit won 13 straight Game 6s when the opportunity was there to eliminate an opponent. The run ended when Anaheim forced a seventh game this year in the second round, but that was the only time Detroit has let a team of the hook in these playoffs. What makes it even more impressive is that the Red Wings have had home-ice advantage so often in recent years that those Game 6s have largely been played on enemy ice. If the Penguins keep the home-ice advantage going for the sixth straight time in this series, Game 7 will be played Friday night in Detroit. For the third time since 1978, the home team has won the first five games in the finals. Detroit was 34.3 seconds away from claiming the prize when Talbot scored the tying goal and forced overtime. "Last year was disappointing beyond belief when we lost Game 5," Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said. "We had the game won and we turned it over two times. ... The way This is the second consecutive year the Penguins returned home for Game 6 of the finals, trailing the Red Wings 3-2. The difference is Pittsburgh pulled out a triple-overtime victory at Detroit in Game 5 to stay alive in 2008. This time they limped back following a 5-0 rout at Joe Louis Arena on Saturday night. it turned out in the end it's not a big deal. Can you imagine if you didn't win the Cup and you did that? You're 32 seconds away from winning. I can remember thinking that for a second. The Red Wings recalled the sour taste they had in their mouths after blowing the chance a year ago to win the Cup in front of their home fans in Game 5. "This year it was 2-2 and we play good at home. We're coming back for a Game 6 and the guys are confident. We're looser. We're ready to go. We know it won't be easy, but it's the biggest game of our career and we definitely don't want to have the same feeling as last year." The Penguins will be facing elimination for the second time in these playoffs. They blew out the Washington Capitals on the road in Game 7 the second round after overcoming a 2-0 series deficit and then a home loss in Game 6. ing a "This year's series there is a higher confidence," Penguins captain Sidney Crosby said of the Red Wings matchup. "We've seen a lot better...results with the way we've played. We'll draw on that experience — more so the results when we've played our game and the success we've had with it. We'll take that more from this series than we would last year's."

Court documents allege he took his son, a nephew and players from the team when he broke into a vacant shop and took overhead lights and other items. Spady's son crawled through a vent and unlocked the door for his father, who then coached the boys to grab things. One boy told his stepfather who called deputies.
