Free State bottles hit shelves in Lawrence
FreeState Beer
Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN
Free State Brewing Company, 636 Massachusetts street, recently began distributing its own beer in bottles at local liquor stores. The brewery, which was established in 1989, now offers four of its beers — Ad Astra Ale, Oatmeal Stout, Copperhead Pale Ale and Wheat State Golden — at many local stores.
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
Local microbrewery and restaurant Free State Brewing Co. has taken its product off tap for the first time ever. On May 21, four of owner Chuck Magerl's beers hit the shelves in bottles at local liquor stores.
Free State's beers had previously only been available at Free State, 636 Massachusetts St., in kegs and 64-ounce growlers, as well as at several area bars on tap. The first 1,600 cases of bottles were delivered in Lawrence the Thursday before going on sale at $7.99 for a six pack.
"It's something we've been working on for quite a few years," Magerl said. "As we watched some of the changes with regards to people entertaining more at home and things like that, bottles seemed like a wise step to take. There's an increasing appreciation for craft beers and full-flavored foods, and our beers fit right in with that."
Free State's four top-selling beers - Wheat State Golden, Ad Astra Ale, Oatmeal Stout and Copperhead Pale Ale - will soon be released in Topeka and Kansas City, Kans., and will likely make their way south to Wichita sometime in June. Magerl said that with continued success, he would look into expanding well beyond the state of Kansas.
"It's something that we intend to build the business in the future," Magerl said. "We'll do it as our capacity and our ability to do a good job in the marketplace allows us to grow."
Magerl did not offer any specific numbers, but said that early returns were positive for the continued growth of Free State bottle distribution.
"So far the response has been very
good." Magerl said. "We've been distributing solely within the city of Lawrence and it's been a welcome response from the locals."
The popularity of microbrews — such as Kansas City's Boulevard Brewery - played a major role in Magerl's decision to start producing bottles. The connection is not lost on students.
"This shows that local breweries can expand and be successful," David Heckathorn, a senior from Derby, said. "They make good beers and should be able to share them with liquor stores and other bars. I think if they can keep it up they could end up like Boulevard."
Ryan Shaughnessy, a manager at On the Rocks liquor store, 1818 Massachusetts St., said that even though he had high expectations for the Free State beer, the enthusiasm shown by customers during the first three weeks had
been overwhelming.
Shaughnessy said that despite the remarkable popularity of Free State beers, there were no plans to take advantage of the high demand by raising prices.
"It's been selling outrageously," Shaughnessy said. "We can barely keep it on the shelves. We definitely knew that it was going to be popular, but it's just been blowing away all of our expectations."
Summer bus routes change with fewer drivers and students
BY SHANNA LARSON slarson@kansan.com
Casey Engelken will have to start waking up earlier in order to catch a bus for classes this summer. Engelken, a junior from Topeka, rides the route 41 Park & Ride Express buses year round, but has to wait an extra 30 minutes in the summer semester because of reduced bus circulation.
"It's not as convenient as the regular school year when I can pretty much catch a bus anytime I want, but it is nice that the buses still run so I don't have to buy a parking pass just for the summer," Engelken said.
TRANSPORTATION
During the summer, the buses still run, but operate with fewer drivers and different routes to meet the needs of the students who depend on KU on Wheels. The routes for the summer are designed to stop at most of the main student living areas in Lawrence in order to provide service for the largest number of students.
"Coordination with the city.

Teacher finds Colonial-era document in classroom
WHAT happened?!
PEABODY, Mass. — A Massachusetts teacher cleaning up her classroom in preparation for a move has discovered a Colonial-era document buried in a pile of outdated textbooks and dusty scraps of papers.
Michelle Eugenio, a fourth-grade teacher in Peabody, Mass., found
the yellowed sheet of paper two weeks ago. Dated April 1792 and protected by plastic, it appears to document the payment of a debt
1792
by a Vermont man named Jonathan Bates.
Peabody Historical Society President Bill Power verified the paper's authenticity. He tells The Salem News he was thrilled with the discovery.
No one knows how the paper ended up at Peabody's Center School or how long it has been there.
Bates served in the Continental Army in 1780 and died in 1808 at age 63.
Chickens take center stage in Nevada senate primaries
RENO, Nev. — Why did the chicken cross the road?
In Nevada, it could be to comply with election laws.
Chickens have been an issue in the Republican senatorial primary for the right to run against Harry
Reid since one cardidate suggested patients barter with doctors, like when "our grandparents would bring a chicken to the doctor."
Democrats blasted Sue Lowden's idea on a website, "Chickens for Checkups," and critics donned chicken suits at debates. That prompted Secretary of State Ross Miller to add the fowl attire to the items banned within 100 feet of the polls.
Now, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals plans a vegetarian rally Tuesday with chicken-dressed pickets near a Reno polling place. PETA's Amanda Fortino says they have no political ties and won't break the law.

Couple says marriage vows submersed in shark tank
RIVERHEAD, N.Y. — A New York couple has taken the plunge inside a shark tank.
April Pignataro and Michael Curry were lowered in a steel cage into the tank to exchange their wedding vows at Atlantis Marine
World in River head, N.Y., on Sunday.
She wore a white wet suit; he wore a black one.

The experienced divers spoke their vows into radio headgear transmitted to a minister outside the tank. About 75 guests watched from behind glass.

Perkins was in wrong,but we need him
Thousands of illegally sold tickets and a blackmail case were only the latest in a series of questionable acts committed by Kansas Athletics. And not surprisingly, many are calling for the head of Athletic Director Lew Perkins.
The University announced May 26 the findings of its internal audit, which found that nearly 20,000 basketball and football tickets with a value of at least $1 million were sold from 2005-2010 by several Athletics employees for personal
As the chief executive, Perkins should be held responsible for the actions of his staff. It seems unlikely that he was completely in the dark to his staff's siphoning of tickets. His professed naivete is no excuse; he should know what's going on within the department. So calling for his termination seems reasonable.
Someone needs to be held responsible, or at least take the fall.
But right now we can't afford to lose Perkins, the aggressive businessman who pulled the Athletics Department out of mediocrity.
With as many as eight teams possibly leaving the Big 12, the conference's long-term viability is sketchy at best. If the Big 12 doesn't survive, Perkins is our only chance at getting into another BCS conference such as the ACC or the Big East where Perkins has connections from
his days at UConn. Our legendary basketball and up-and-coming football programs won't mean much if Kansas is put into a non-BCS conference like the Mountain Sky or Missouri Valley conferences.
Now is not the time to chop the head off KU Athletics. Now's no time for an interim director or a reorganization of the athletic department.
We need our best batter at the plate.

Kevin Hardy for The Kansan Editorial Board
Is this the end of foreign correspondents?
In March 2008, Solana Larsen, a prominent blogger and international journalist, made a startling prediction while participating in a forum at Harvard University. Foreign correspondents, she said, will no longer exist by 2013.
Larsen's two-minute "provocation" sparked a firestorm of controversy. According to her blog, she "spent the rest of the day dodging journalists and editors who wanted to tell me I was wrong, naive, and even careless."
Now, more than two years later foreign reporting looks as bleak as ever. Steadily declining ad revenue accelerated by the 2008 economic crisis left many news outlets on life support.
The dire economic conditions forced nearly all media organizations to slash budgets and cut staff in attempts to remain solvent. Foreign news bureaus — with their rising costs and an increasingly uninterested American audience — are often among the first to go.

Larsen's grim prediction is not the first of its kind, nor will it be the last.
BY MICHAEL HOLTZ
mholtz@kansan.com
The uncertainties surrounding foreign correspondence reflect a much larger trend in professional journalism - the race to reveal its future.
The anxieties that fill newsrooms across the country have permeated college academics. As news outlets struggle to redefine what it means to be a professional journalist, journalism schools struggle to redefine what it means to be a student journalist.
Media integration, a buzzword in both professional and collegiate journalism, has emerged as a popular aim for newsrooms and classrooms alike. Recent plans for restructuring the University of Kansas' journalism school emphasize media integration
as a primary goal.
Starting in the fall of 2011, Columbia University will offer a combined computer science and journalism master's degree, with an emphasis on multimedia skills and comprehensive IT knowledge.
And the University of Missouri's journalism school has decided on a much different approach. Rather than following the media integration trend, Missouri's new program requires students to major in one of 25 separate interest areas.
So what do these academic disparities mean for us, the students? How do we prepare ourselves for a future that remains so uncertain? In my case, if Larsen's prediction becomes true and my dreams of becoming a professional foreign correspondent are shattered, where does that leave me?
Though the differences between journalism schools signal a largely undecided future, they do share at least one common thread — the need for students to adapt.
The same can be said for all students, not just those in journalism. A CBS News poll found that nine in 10 Americans think today's job market requires different skills than it did 20 years ago.
As new technologies, models and ideas replace old ones at an exponential rate, 20 years will soon become 10, if not even less. Having the ability to adapt to a continuously changing job market and the willingness to try new things are essential supplements to any college degree.
Despite their tentative forecasts, the futures of journalism and other fields are nothing to run from. The sense of "anything goes" can be equally liberating and exciting, which is why I'll be spending the next six weeks in Europe exploring the current state of foreign correspondence. If college journalism is any indication, what happens in the future remains anyone's guess.
— kansas columnist Michael Holtz will contribute weekly columns from his European travels.

STATE
Kansas changing domestic violence programs
BY RICHELLE BUSER
rbuser@kansan.com
Dayna Langdon began volunteering for Willow Domestic Violence Center last semester. Now working as a court advocate for abused women, Langdon has seen the effects of domestic violence first hand.
"It's a really scary thing. There's so many types of abuse. Not just physical or emotional, but even economically," Langdon, a senior from Omaha, Neb., said. "Sometimes a victim doesn't have the means to leave an abuser."
But recent federal funding and approval from Kansas Attorney General Steve Six could change the way the state handles domestic violence. The state is now developing and certifying batterer intervention programs which will require offenders to undergo mental assessments, spend at least 24 weeks in group meetings and retrain from contacting victims. Since the approval of funding in January, five batterer intervention programs have been certified in Kansas.
The Kansas Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence developed the standards for these programs after a review of the increasing rate of domestic violence fatalities throughout the state. Coalition cochairs Curt and Christie Burgart are the stepfather and mother of Jana Mackey, Mackey, a University law student and women's right advocate, was killed by her ex-boyfriend in 2008.
Robert T. Stephan, chair of the Domestic Violence Fatality Review Board, reported 34 adult and 14 child
fatalities in Kansas caused by domestic violence in 2009 the third highest number since 1992.
Michelle McCormick, the Batterer Intervention Program unit coordinator, works for the Victim Services Unit created by Six. She said the batterer intervention programs will focus on behavioral changes.
conflict changes.
"If we can stop an offender from creating new victims, then we can stop the cycle of domestic violence," McCormick said.
McCormick said past programs focused on anger management, but the new program addresses the power-and-control scenario specific to domestic violence.
Kathy Rose-Mockry, program director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, said help was available on campus for students experiencing domestic violence. The center counsels students and provides a link to other organizations that can provide assistance.
"People should know that if they are in a relationship where they feel controlled, scared or a potential to be hurt — contact somebody. Even if you think it's not serious, go talk to somebody and get some good advice," Rose-Mockry said. "It's very common for the person in the relationship who is controlling to isolate someone from their sources of support."
Langdon said that though she thinks the University has great programs available, there is also room for improvement.
"We can always be increasing awareness," Langdon said. "It's something that's prevalent in our society and in the state of Kansas."

During the Big 12 Conference's spring meetings June 1-4 in Kansas City, Mo., a proposal surfaced for six members of the conference — Kansas not among them to move to the Pacific-10 Conference.
As it stands right now, the Big 12 is still intact.
Much was discussed, but definitive answers about the future of the Big 12 were hard to come by. Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe just showed his optimism the conference would retain its current members.
"I am comfortable," he said during a press conference following Friday's meetings. "There is a process that we're going through, but based on the conversations that we've had. I think we're in a good position."
Among the schools in consideration to join the Pac-10 are Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and either Colorado or Baylor.
Beebe said he had several reasons to be confident that the league would remain as is, namely because of the
Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State and either Baylor or Colorado — whichever gets left out of Pac-10 talks - would have to find a new location. Right now, speculation has the Jayhawks going to the Mountain West or possibly to a yet-to-be formed super conference if they should be left out.
strength the Big 12 showed every season.
There is also high potential for the Big 12 and Pac-10 to get their own joint television network. The fact that other conferences are getting their own networks shows promise.
Kansas Athletic Director Lew Perkins, who missed the last three days of the meetings, is also confident the Big 12 is safe for now.
"I don't blame those other conferences for looking at our institutions," Beebe said. "They're valuable institutions with a lot of great history and tradition and could add a lot. But I think that we have a compelling case for why these 12 should stay together."
"Based on a considerable amount of work by commissioner Dan Beebe and others," Perkins said in a release Friday, "I am very encouraged as these meetings end about the strength and viability of the Big 12 Conference."
He said the Big 12 would like to explore options to expand the league, even though he said 12 teams seemed to be the appropriate number. It hasn't extended any offers to other schools to join like the Big 10 or Pac-10 because of the trouble it causes the students. The geography and scheduling would not be beneficial to the student athletes.
Beebe said he talked with commissioners from the Pac10 and other leagues and the Big 12 schools involved shouldn't be to blame. Beebe said he couldn't control what the other leagues chose to do.
ESPN analyst Dick Vitale
spoke about realignment during his April 28 visit to Washburn University. Though he spoke before the Big 12 schools became involved in the debate, Vitalte also voiced geographical concerns.
"What geographical sense does it make?" he asked. "I like to think I exceeded in life because I have some drive, but I'm a dummy. To this day I don't understand."
If some of the Big 12 schools did decide to join the Pac-10, Texas and California teams visiting each other would have to travel about 1500 miles one way. It's about half that distance from from Texas to Nebraska, the largest separation in the Big 12.
Vitale said the only interest these league alterations help was the businessmen involved because it was all about the money.
"All the realignment to me has become a joke," he said.
If teams like Mizzou leave, the Big 12 tournaments in Kansas City might have to be reevaluated, Beebe said.
Beebe would not elaborate on the action the Big 12 was taking in response to the demands from other conferences. But Mizzou and Nebraska were given ultimatums by the league to decide if it wanted to stay in the Big 12 or leave.
"The process that's been set is firm. But I'm not going to engage on what that is." Beebe said. "What we have now is pretty good. To tinker with it would be a risk."

In the wake of a $1.03 million ticket-scalping scandal, Athletics Director Lew Perkins publicly announced he was blackmailed by a former employee.
At Big 12 Conference meetings on June 1 in Kansas City, Mo., Perkins described himself as a victim. It has been reported that former Director of Sports Medicine William Dent allegedly blackmailed Perkins after he exchanged rehabilitation equipment for valuable basketball seats.
Students said they had mixed feelings about the drama at the Athletics Department.
"I almost feel betrayed," Kate Stedman, a junior from Overland Park, said. "It seems like Perkins has just been covering up a bunch of schemes

"Hopefully they'll do something to show the people who support our school that we won't let this slide," Reissen said.
Sedman had similar thoughts. "It can't possibly make those who donate happy to know that the seats they could be getting are being sold," she said.
Morgan Jackson, a junior from Beloit, said dealing with rivals of the University was the most annoying aspect of the scandal.
"I haven't lost faith in KU athletics," Jackson said, "But I do get heckled a lot more by my friends that are Missouri fans."
Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said the department would not give further information regarding the blackmail.
"It has been turned over to the Lawrence Police Department and there is an ongoing investigation," Marchiony said. "They have asked us not to comment and we will respect that."
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little is expected to meet with the Board of Regents and determine a course of action when she returns to the country later this month.

Between 2008 and 2009, Kansas Athletics made $312 million, which could be why the relatively small amount of $1.03 million went unnoticed for so long.
WHAT'S IT TO US?
During the past five years, the ticket scandal that rocked the Kansas Athletics Department has cost the department $1.03 million dollars.
The investigation hasn't yielded information before 2005,but so far 17,609 men's basketball tickets and 2,181 football tickets were illegally sold.
That is enough basketball tickets to more than fill Allen Fieldhouse for one game.
But to a student, $1.03 million could:

■ Buy 412,000 gallons of gas (at $2.50 per gallon)

KU raises tuition to counter budget cuts
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
With state funding to the University taking a $42.9 million hit, the University is again looking to increase tuition for incoming resident students to $262.50 per credit hour, a seven percent increase over last year's compact. Non-resident students will also face a seven percent increase to $691.25 per credit hour.
With the proposed tuition package and the slight increase in campus fees, the University looks to produce $11.2 million in new revenue to counter a portion of its recent massive losses.
"We want to maintain the accessibility to a first-class college education, and though that is made much more difficult by the state budget cuts, this proposal strikes a good balance." Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said in a press release. "KU remains an absolute bargain nationally."
About 45 percent of Kansas undergraduates are bound under a four-year tuition compact and will see no increase in their tuition rates. With this year's incoming freshman class,
that number will jump to about 65 percent.
"I've been talking with our students, and they want us to balance the cost of college with their need to have an education that prepares them for successful lives," Gray-Little said.
in tuition with a typical 15-credit hour schedule.
"Our students know there are doors that only open with a college degree and have asked us to do everything we can to maintain the quality of the education they receive at KU."
All five of the other regents universities KansasState,Wichita State Fort Hays State, Pittsburg State and Emporia State are proposing tuition hikes as well.
Some students are upset about the increase, but say they understand the need to make up some of

the funding from whatever means are available.
"Forty-three million is a huge chunk." Spencer Glenn, a junior from Andover, said. "I'm sure they looked at all the options and figured that was the best way to make some of it back."
Glenn said his biggest issue with the tuition hike was that it would coincide with an increase in class sizes - another cost reduction method used by the University.
"I think with the prices that they are right now, they're pretty high," Glenn said. "it'd be one thing to if"
you were increasing the price and getting a smaller class size, but paying that kind of money to sit in a class with like 800 kids is just crazy."
In addition to the tuition increase, the University proposed a $10 per credit hour technology fee to directly fund new classroom technologies including an expanded wireless network.
"Students today have greater expectations when it comes to technology than students did just a few years ago." Interim Provost Danny Anderson said in a press release. "They expect wireless Internet and classrooms that allow for the full range of learning technologies to be used."
All five of the other regents universities - Kansas State, Wichita State, Fort Hays State, Pittsburg State and Emporia State - are proposing tuition hikes as well. Wichita State has proposed a 7.7 percent hike, while Kansas State's tuition will increase by only three percent to $3,538 under its proposed hike.
BUSES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3)
summer classes are in session stop throughout campus and Lawrence. The number of students who depend on KU on Wheels is large enough that the buses need to run in the summer but small enough that many of the regular bus routes are unnecessary.
"The buses run every day of the week and some weekends to provide transportation for the students who do use KU on Wheels." Meier said.
Engelken said she was happy to have the option to ride the buses throughout the whole year.
"I'm glad that they do run in the summer because I have been depending on them to get to class since I've lived off campus," Engelken said, "I don't have to deal with trying to park on campus."

Police investigating death at Oread Inn
Police are currently investigating the death of a 25-year-old Lawrence man found yesterday morning on a second floor balcony of The Oread Hotel,1200 Oread Ave.
According to a Lawrence Police Department media release, police officers responded to a medical emergency at the Oread Hotel about 7:13 a.m. The officers found the man deceased and appearing to have fallen from an upper floor of the hotel to the second floor balcony.
Amanda Witucki, manager of the Jimmy Johns inside The Oread and
a 2010 graduate, said it seemed like some things The Oread had done hadn't been thought through especially in regard to the high balconies where potted plants line the exterior of the building.
"They've been knocked down a bunch," she said. "It's ridiculous that they're so high up."
According to the statement, "the victim's prior background and
activities leading up the event will need to be thoroughly investigated in order to determine the circumstances surrounding the event," and the coroner's office may also review the circumstances.
Witucki said she hoped the man's fall wasn't a drunken mistake from such a high balcony.
"It's just terrible," she said. The victim's identity is being
withheld until the family is notified.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Lawrence Police Department Investigations Division at 75-830-7430 or Douglas County Crime Stoppers at 785-843-TIPS.

Burger Stand finds new location on Mass
BY JANENE GIER
jgier@kansan.com
Goodbye health food, hello hamburgers.
Popular Lawrence restaurant The Burger Stand will move from Dempsey's Irish Pub, 623 Vermont St., to the former location of health-food store The Casbah, 803 Massachusetts St., by July 1 to pursue more independent business endeavors.

The Burger Stand started using Dempsey's kitchen in February 2009 and decided to make the move after The Casbah closed this spring.
The Burger Stand, a popular Lawrence restaurant, is moving out of its current location at Dempsey S., 623 Vermont street, to The Casbah at 803 Massachusetts street early next month. The restaurant is known for its gourmet burgers, like The Classic seen here with truffle fries.
"The location we're moving to opened up and we saw it as an opportunity to improve and expand," said Codi Bates, one of the four owners of The Burger Stand.
quality ingredients into the process," he said. "We're excited about moving to the Casbah because the kitchen we have now is the size of a walk-in closet. The building already has a great feel to it."

Bates said they would like to offer more vegetarian options using key ingredients from local farmers.
Manager Chris Hoffman said the restaurant's popularity drove the desire for more room to experiment.
"We would like to expand and draw from what the Casbah was and the mentality and idea behind it," Bates said.
"We had no idea how much the community was going to embrace the idea and thought of putting high
bar menu that fits its food menu. Bates said that because Dempsey's and The Burger Stand were separate businesses, there was not as much freedom to do that.
The Burger Stand's new location will be called The Burger Stand at the Casbah. The building has maintained the Casbah name since the early '70s.
"Out of respect for the owners of the building, it only makes sense to keep the name," said Ken Pingleton, bar manager for the Burger Stand and Esquina, 801 Massachusetts St., which are owned by the same people.
Bates said The Burger Stand will now have more freedom with its bar, allowing it to try interesting pairings with burgers and beer and create a
Christen Johnson, Burger Stand shift manager and 2009 KU graduate, said she would miss the old location and the bartenders she had worked with at Dempsey's, but she was looking forward to the move.
"The Burger Stand just needed more room. People would walk in and see the place was full and just walk out," she said.
In the absence of The Burger Stand, Dempsey's co-owner Greg Mann said the bar would bring in Matt Lawson, the sous chef at downtown restaurant 715 and former Wolfgang Puck Los Angles employee, to help develop their own version of a gourmet burger.
"We're excited about taking over and stepping up the game a little bit," Mann said. "Since we're taking over, we figured its worth it to clean up and
invest a bit."
Mann said he was excited about Lawson developing a new menu. Students and burger lovers wait to see how the changes will affect the bar.
"If the new food at Dempsey's is
just as good, it won't affect them," said Kait Wurst, a 2010 graduate. "I'd probably try it."

Recent graduate Robby Price talks to media members at the Kansas baseball clubhouse Tuesday afternoon. He was selected in the 14th round of the Major League Baseball first-year player draft by the Tampa Bay Rays. Price said his father, baseball coach Ritch Price, called to tell him the news. Price is the third player in his family to be drafted; his older brothers Ritchie and Ryne were selected after their senior seasons at Kansas.
Baseball wraps up tough season
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
Kansas entered the final series of the regular season needing to steal at least one of three games against the No. 14 Sooners in addition to picking up a couple victories in the Big 12 Tournament. If they could take three of their last six, they could cling to their slim postseason hopes.
Instead of picking up a requisite win in their final regular season series, the Jayhawks were swept at the hands of Oklahoma, twice losing when the Sooners rallied in the bottom of the ninth inning.
ment, Kansas still held out hope.
Even after the sweep and an opening round 3-2 loss to the Sooners — on a third consecutive ninth-inning rally — in the conference tourna-
"I think we can do a great job in this tournament even though we lost that tough one," junior third baseman Tony Thompson said after the fourth straight loss. "We have to come out and play well and I think we still have a shot."
But Kansas cemented its fate during the next two games. Needling to win both for any chance at the post-season, Kansas fell 10-5 to Kansas State and 6-3 to Baylor to close the season with a whimper. It was a disappointing end to what was a disappointing season for the Jayhawks.

COMMENTARY
What we learn from conference realignment
BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR smontemayor@kansan.com
In big-time college athletics, cash is king and tradition is just a smoke-screen.
That Kansas and Nebraska have shared a conference for generations matters not. That the layhawks and Tigers share the second longest football rivalry is of lower priority than revenue streams.
A little more than a week ago, few of us could have foreseen the speculation over conference realignment and expansion that has run rampant. Last week we listened to Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little weigh in on Athletics Director Lew Perkins and the ticket scandal that had previously dominated headlines in Lawrence. Now we listen to the chancellor urge Nebraska and Missouri not to bolt from the Big 12.
Today we also face the prospect of a collegiate sports landscape the likes of which we've never known.
We can devise any number of scenarios to pass the time until something of substance breaks. We can assume Nebraska and Missouri land in the Big Ten, that the Pac-10 scoops up the Big 12 South and that Kansas and Kansas State must search for a new home.
It is also not unreasonable to assume that nothing will happen. That all holds constant or, at the very least, the Big 12 replenishes after a hypothetical loss of one or two to the Big Ten.

the rankings.
Despite Thompson's late return to form — he finished with a .338 average and six home runs in 40 games, most of his production coming in a torrid in the last few weeks — he failed to match his Triple Crown-winning season of 2009 and couldn't help the team to a third consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance.
Despite the drop in numbers, Thompson played his last game in a Jayhawk uniform in the season- ending loss to Baylor.
Thompson became the highest drafted Jayhawk in the eight-year Ritch Price era Tuesday night.
The Oakland Athletics selected him with the 10th pick of the sixth round, 185th overall. It's the highest any Jayhawk has gone since Brandon O'Neal went 170th overall to the Anaheim Angels in 2000.
Thompson missed the first 19 games of the season with the injury and was slow to return to form, but
finished the season with a respectable .338 average with six home runs and 38 RBI in 40 games.
In his sophomore year Thompson won the Triple Crown in the Big 12, leading the conference in batting average (.389), home runs (21) and RBI (82).
Next off the draft board was senior second baseman - and coach's son - Price, who was selected in the 13th round with the 401st overall pick by the Tampa Bay Rays, a team with a notably strong farm system.
Price, always solid defensively was the beneficiary of an offensive breakthrough in his senior year after a nagging labrum injury held him back in his early years. Price was second on the squad with a .351 batting average and six home runs and was third with 49 RBI
The San Francisco Giants selected Bochy in the 20th round. Bochy's father, Bruce, is the manager of the Giants.
Bochy, Kansas' closer until a torn ligament in his throwing elbow ended his season early, posted stellar numbers in limited action this year. In 12 appearances, Bochy posted a 0.78 ERA, allowing just two runs over 23 innings. He led the team with five saves.
Bochy underwent Tommy John surgery on April 8, which in most cases takes a full year of rehabilitation. With the opportunity to play for his father's organization, however, it is expected that Bochy will sign with the Giants and forego his final year of eligibility.
Selik became the 22nd round pick of the Washington Nationals, and the fourth Jayhawk off the board. Selik went 6-4 in 15 starts this year, with a 5.06 ERA and 72 strikeouts. Selik, who spent two years at Grossmont College before coming to Kansas for his junior and senior years, won his first four starts this year before struggling on the way in.

ago during a pick-up game and didn't think anything of it. Only Monday, while he was moving into his dorm, did he feel pain.
"When you're playing, your adrenaline is pumping so I didn't

The Rivals.com No.1 recruit got this news less than a day after arriving in Lawrence.
The injury puts a damper on his basketball workouts, though he can still condition and do ball handling drills with his dominant right hand. He said he won't let the injury prevent him from improving.
Selby has a history of showing toughness. Just a few weeks ago, Selby was playing in New York and slit his right hand between two of his fingers. Already bleeding, he dunked the ball, opened the wound further and ended up needing stitches.
"I was always told if you're hurt, you can still play," Selby said. "The only time you really can't play is when you're dead."

MONTEMAYOR (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13)
In any scenario, Kansas needs to look out for its own best interests. If one or multiple raids on the Big 12 leave Kansas stranded, it can be sure that its basketball program will mean something to someone. Options exist from the Mountain West to the Big East, Conference USA or, in a reach,
even the Big Ten.
If nothing happens and the Big 12 exists more or less as it does now, the University and Athletics must remember how close it all came to falling apart. It would be unwise to forget how the birthplace of basketball found itself searching for suitors in most all
scenarios thrown about.
More questions still exist than answers, but perhaps this episode can at least be used as an opportunity for the University to review its priorities. The University must continue to seek and demand transparency in the ongoing ticket scandal. It must do all it can to
ensure that the vast majority of students here that do not participate in NCAA sports receive a strong educational value for their money.
Don's Auto Center
It is important that the University consider all options when deliberating on the best path forward from all this. The option that makes our diplomas most valuable to potential employers is the best one. If that means privatizing the school, so be it.
It is clear that those involved in reshuffling or expanding conferences have only their best interests in mind. Such drastic change will be easier to stomach knowing that our own school has our own interests in mind too.

I agree with what the chancellor said when she told The Associated Press Monday that "Athletics are important to a university. Athletics helps develop friendships and allegiances to the university." We don't have to lose athletics if the entire landscape of the NCAA is shaken. We don't have to get lost in the greed and corruption that shapes big time college sports, either.

Kaw Valley Kickball League expands to become a local summer fixture
BY MATT KUHLMAN mkuhlman@kansan.com
The large crowd of people gathered at Hobbs Park on May 23 marked the beginning of summer in Lawrence. The crowd, as well as the firework shows and general feeling of excitement, were also signs that the 2010 Kaw Valley Kickball Season was underway.
Now entering its ninth season, the KVKL established itself as a major presence in the Lawrence community during the summer months. Starting with eight teams in 2001, the league began as a Sunday afternoon ritual for employees at various downtown businesses. Now, the roster includes 30 teams, with an estimated 500 participants playing games at eight different locations throughout the city. KVKL Commissioner Nick Lerner attributes the league's success to more than people's affinity for a playground game.
"It's about kickball, but it's really more about this community we've created," Lerner said. "We could be playing lawn darts or some other slightly competitive game and I think wed all still have fun. It's about getting together and seeing the same people over and over again."
David Hodges, a senior from Topeka, has played for his team, the Screamers, since 2006 and said that kickball was one of his favorite ways to spend the summer.
"It's an extremely social event. It's what KU students miss out on when they go away for the summer," he said.
Lerner admits that the league has changed from the original leisurely spirit that it was founded on because the addition of teams raised the level of competition. The increase in the number of players also requires a stronger central organization to keep things running smoothly. He said that the league's popularity made it necessary to impose changes, such as registration fees for teams, so that it could continue to thrive.
"We couldn't have game of the week at Hobbs and still be the old league that we were. The rogue league that just showed up at parks and played," he said.
The KVKL regular season lasts for 10 weeks, with games played on Sundays at either 5:30 or 7:00 p.m. as well as a featured game of the week at 9:00 p.m. The featured game is played later so that a majority of the teams have a chance to fill the stands at Hobbs Park in East Lawrence and watch a good, competitive game of kickball. It is typically a very lively environment and the highlight of the kickball game -day with impromptu musical performances, food vendors, fireworks and even the occasional streaker.
The featured game also brings out many spectators who do not play in the league. Natale Collar, a
senior from Kansas City, said she has attended games for years despite never playing in one.
"I've worked for several businesses that are involved in kickball, and I come because it's an interesting thing that brings the community together. It's competitive, but it's still fun," she said.
KVKL has also used its growth and popularity to help benefit the community. According to the league website, KVKL, in
Kickball games are played every Sunday at 5:30 and 7 p.m. at the following locations:
conjunction with the Mutual Aid Society and KU School of Social Welfare, raised $1,912 to help a four-year-old girl in her battle with cancer. Last year, VKVL donated $1,200 to the Douglas County Dental Clinic and it has an agreement to donate all aluminum cans collected at games to Cans for the Community, an organization that raises funds for other area nonprofit organizations.

KJHK settles into new home
BY KIRSTEN KWON | PHOTOS BY RYAN WAGGONER
kkwon@kansan.com | rwaggoner@kansan.com
Since May 6, KJHK has been broadcasting from its new los on the third floor of the Kansas Union. Tom Johnson, manager and program adviser said the KJHK staff is mer to find a balance between their old rock n' the Shack," and their new, cleaner home.
COMPARING THE MUSIC LIBRARIES
The music library in the new KJHK studios is lined with CD's and vinyl records, not unlike the library at the Shack.
"It's a consolidation and expansion of our previous operations," Johnson said. "The music library is a multipurpose room. It should give us plenty of space in the long term."
The room is also used as an in-studio performance space.
Two and a half years ago, the KJHK staff began a digital archiving project that has been completed and will launch in the coming months.
"Most of these CDs have been backed up on a digital format so that you can do a search that links to all of our reviews," Johnson said. "We're going to bring that online this fall."
ON THE SOUND DIFFERENCES
Along with going digital, the station now has the ability to broadcast from any of the studio's rooms.
"You couldn't do anything like that
before," Johnson said. "You basically had a couple mics somewhere else but you couldn't really just kick it over and quality-wise it wouldn't be as good."
Johnson said the KJHK staff has already received feedback from listeners on the improved sound quality.
"Listeners say it sounds huge-er. It's just as loud as any commercial station," Johnson said.
ON THE MAIN DIFFERENCES
Brand new equipment and clean
walls in the new studios replaced broken turntables and graffiti-packed doorways in the Shack. Still, Johnson said the staff planned to retrieve some pieces that had nostalgic rock history.
"We're trying to figure out what's the best way for us to bring some of our old personality into this new space because we basically started with a blank canvas," Johnson said.
One of the main differences between the Shack and the Union studios is the ability to be seen by viewers. With thousands of people passing through the Union, Johnson said the station has become more integrated into the KU community.
"You're part of something bigger rather than you're sequestered at the end of campus in a small building," Johnson said. "And a small building that albeit is extremely cool is not necessarily functional or reliable."

Broken bridge breaks couples' wedding dreams
BOULDER, Colo. — What's worse than rain on your wedding day? Try a swollen creek washing out the only bridge to your dream wedding
spot. This week's flooding destroyed the bridge to Boulder's Red Lion Restaurant, forcing couples to scramble to find last minute accommodations for hundreds of guests this weekend.
Andrea Maneely and Tom Prince met waiting tables there and thought it would be the perfect place to exchange
their vows. They had to find another spot at the last minute for double the price.
Manager Christina Mueller said she doesn't know how she's going to make up the $100,000 in lost business but she said she's getting an attitude check from her brides.
Sunday's bride plans to take up a collection to help fix the bridge.

State law changing city smoking ban
Downtown businesses concerned about stricter rules
BY MEGAN RUPP
mrupp@kansan.com
A new city ordinance will require smokers like Jasmine Dunn to stand
10 feet away from local businesses when they light up.
"I understand people not wanting you to smoke near kids or at restaurants, but it really bothers me that I can't smoke at the
June 8 that they planned to update Lawrence's existing regulations to comply with state law before it goes into effect July 1. Six years after the city passed its ordinance, the Kansas

bars." Dunn, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., said. "If you don't want to be around smoke, don't hang out by the doorway."
City commissioners confirmed
Indoor Clean Air Act followed by outlining similar regulations. Amending the discrepancies between the two before state law goes into effect is now the primary concern, said Scott Miller, staff
attorney of legal services for the City. The first reading of the newest draft of city ordinance regarding specific smoking regulations was presented at the City Commission
meeting on Tuesday.
"Some state regulations are more stringent than Lawrence law, some are less," Miller said. "We are required by law to change the ordinance, if we're going to have one, to incorporate those provisions that are stricter as defined by the state."
Miller said the aspects of the Lawrence ordinance that were defined by broader terms in state law would remain intact.
State law more narrowly defines smoking near access points, banning smoking within a 10-foot radius of a doorway or window. This provision has significant implications on downtown business owners who don't have the property necessary to accommodate regulations and maintain outdoor smoking areas.
SEE SMOKING ON PAGE 7
CHANGES TO LAWRENCE PROVISIONS
No smoking within 10 feet of a doorway or open window.
No smoking in places without openings in their walls that are equal in size to at least 30 percent of the wall area. The former Lawrence standard was 20 percent.
- Only 20 percent of hotel rooms may be designated as smoking rooms. Previously, 25 percent was permitted.
There will no longer be exceptions for conference rooms, smoking break rooms or meeting rooms.
Violations will be deemed tobacco infractions, rather than misdemeanor offenses.
STRICTER ASPECTS OF LAWRENCE ORDINANCE THAT WILL REMAIN
- The definition of smoking includes non-tobacco vegetation.
- No smoking in outdoor recreation clubs, such as like country, hunting, fishing or shooting clubs.
- No smoking in private residences used as long-term care facilities.
- No smoking in areas where food is prepared for off-premises consumption.

SMOKING (CONTINUED FROM 6)
Frank Dorsey, manager of The Bourgeois Pig, said he expected the new law to affect business operations to a "huge extent."
"The smoking sections available to people will basically be whitched down to only a few feet on both our
front and back patios," Dorsey said.
He said though it affected the comfort and freedom of his patrons, he hoped that because all bars and restaurants would be facing the same problem, it wouldn't hurt business significantly.
The problems it may create for downtown businesses are well worth the health benefits, say supporters such as Dr. Steven Bruner, who helped create the initial City ordinance in 2004.
"The smoking sections available to people will basically be whittled down to only a few few feet on both our front and back patios."
Commission chose not to go backward and repeal the city ordinance," Bruner said. "Eliminating risks to nonsmokers by adopting the state law, with the added provisions, really gives us the best of both worlds."
"We're really pleased the
FRANK DORSEY
Bourgeois Pig manager
Bruner said the problem created for bars and restaurants in downtown Lawrence was a reasonable trade-off to protect public health.
The updated smoking ban may remain an issue for some, but many students now appreciate the benefits of more stringent regulations. For supporters like Molly Easley, a graduate student from Lawrence, designated smoking areas away from business entrances are reasonable substitutes for outdoor patios that may subject nonsmokers to smoke
inhalation
"While it might be inconvenient, it makes people more thoughtful about smoking around others," Easley said. "I honestly think it should be up to the business owner, but I also understand the rationale behind wanting to protect people from secondhand smoke."
Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable disease for smokers, but Bruner said it also had significant drawbacks for nonsmokers. He said secondhand smoke was highly associated with cardiovascular risk, and in cities with similar indoor smoking bans, the risk of heart attack decreased by 15 to 25 percent.
The University has defined its own smoking regulations since 1993. Though Lawrence adopts the 10-foot provision, the University requires smokers to maintain a distance of 20 feet from doorways.

White powder sent to federal buildings
SEATTLE — An FBI agent says white powder sent in envelopes to eight federal buildings in the West on Monday was not hazardous.
Special Agent Frederick Gutt says laboratory tests show the powder's main component was calcium carbonate,which is found in chalk.
Gutt says a threat was associated with the envelopes, but could not provide details. Authorities continue to investigate. No illnesses were reported from the mailings.
Envelopes were found at a federal building in Seattle. Internal Revenue Service offices in Bellevue, Wash., and an FBI office in Spokane, Wash. In Idaho, the U.S. attorney's office and an FBI office in Coeur d'Alene, an FBI office in Pocatello and the U.S. attorney's office in Boise received envelopes.
In Salt Lake City, an FBI office was also targeted.

Suburban 'staycation' replaces pricey travel
My older brother is in South Africa for the World Cup. My little brother is about to go to the Dominican Republic. One of my friends is headed to Spain next week, and another just got back from China.
So you might think I'd be a little bit jealous that I will spend 100 percent of my summer living in my parents' house in Kansas. Nonsense. An empty bank account is no reason to limit oneself to the boring confines of suburbia for a whole summer. There are plenty of ways I've found to have an international experience

with a part-time, minimum wage budget.
For example, itid be great to visit an authentic South American pueblo (I'm a Spanish major, don't worry
about it...), but it's also expensive. But put on a sombrero, make a quick Taco Bell run, and flip on a Telemundo soap opera and it'll feel like a fiesta in your own living room.
While Kansas might be short on exotic natural destinations, a little creativity can go a long way. Grab a couple of blow-up rafts from the kids section of any department store and head to any of Kansas' many creeks during an intense Midwest thunderstorm. After about 20 minutes it'll feel just like the Amazon rainforest during monsoon season, at least until the clouds clear up and you
start hearing little girls ringing their bicycle bells just beyond the trees (which is a total buzzkill).
Even your own bedroom can be turned into an expensive vacation. Just set the air conditioning about 85 degrees like my parents insist on doing, set up a mosquito net above your bed,and every morning feels like waking up in a hut somewhere along the equator. Thanks, mom.

TRAVEL
Studying abroad develops self-confidence
What better place start things off than in Bonn, Germany; headquarters of Deutsche Welle, Germany's international broadcasters, and my home for nearly five months last spring.
By the time this column is published, I will hopefully be recovered from jet lag and have partially regained my yearlong-dormant German skills. I'll have retraced my favorite path along the Rhine River and have made my way to James Joyce, a lively Irish pub in Bonn's city center.
Nostalgic sentiments aside — I'll save the rest for my blog — my return to Bonn also reminds me of the indispensable experience I gained from studying abroad here last year.
To the advantage of KU students, study abroad ranks high among the University's priorities. The University ranks 11th nationally in study abroad participation, according to a report by The Institute of International Education.
Foreign Telegraph
ph
BY MICHAEL HOLTZ mholtz@kansan.com
Over 25 percent of KU undergraduates have completed study abroad programs. A wide variety of programs and readily available financial aid makes it possible for many students.
For an aspiring foreign correspondent such as myself, the benefits of studying abroad seem obvious. I returned to Lawrence with improved language skills, months of travel experience and a fresh global perspective.
Yet participation in a study abroad program provides benefits outside of academic and career development. A study published in 2004 found that 96 percent of students who had studied
abroad noticed an increase in self-confidence. Ninety-seven percent of those surveyed said studying abroad served as a catalyst for increased maturity.
I couldn't agree more. There are few experiences I've had as liberating — and overwhelming — as when I stepped off the plane at Frankfurt International Airport last March. Allow me to explain.
With the exception of driving between Topeka and Lawrence, I had never traveled by myself until my transcontinental flight from Kansas City to Frankfurt. I landed in Germany feeling tired, anxious and alone.
After some initial confusion at the train station in Frankfurt, I was on a two-hour train ride to Bonn. I arrived with a backpack—the airline had lost my luggage and it wouldn't arrive for another week—and the address of the Bonn University's International Club where I was to check in.
I filled out the paperwork, picked
up some handouts, and received my housing assignment. Once I was finished, a driver dropped me off at my apartment. After 24 hours of constant traveling, I had finally made it. In a sense, I was home.
I matured quickly that first day. The sudden realization of being 4500 miles from home in an unfamiliar country without friends or family would have the same effect on anyone.
I also noticed an immediate rise in my self-confidence. Speaking a language I only partially knew with people I had never met required it. The language-learning experience was often frustrating and sometimes even embarrassing.
In the end it was all part of the study abroad experience, the same one that allowed me to return to Bonn as mature and confident as ever.

Meat prices rising as grill time arrives
BY SHANNA LARSON slarson@kansan.com
As the temperature has continued to rise since spring, so has the price of meat. Just in time for grilling season, meats have reached their highest prices of the year.
Matt Tingle, a senior from Cary, N.C., said he bought cheap meat that cooked quickly to save time and money.
"Since steak is expensive, we are buying more brats, hotdogs, chicken and hamburger, and that way we can still buy beer on a tight budget," he said.
College students are not the only ones looking for a way to cook out for less. Kevin Miller, meat manager at Hy-Vee, 3504 Clinton Parkway, said people were buying more chicken and cheaper cuts of meat as beef and pork prices have increased.
"The number one and two items sold since the prices have been up are two different cuts of chicken"
it was this time last year. MJ Ranch, a family-owned ranch, sells its beef to local stores and individuals.
Prices have gone up for a number of reasons.The demand for grilling meat is high this time of year and the supply of beef and pork is lower than
Prices did not go up on MJ Ranch beef this year, Joyce Williams, coowner of MJ Ranch said, and they had already sold all of this year's meat.

Some stores are catching on to the idea that people are looking for a cheaper way to grill out this season. Instead of loading up on the more expensive cuts, they are purchasing more of the cheaper cuts that are

After unforeseen complications during its last competition, the Jayhawk Motorsports team has a chance to redeem itself this week at a Formula SAE competition in Fontana, Calif.
The team is comprised of University students who design and develop a race car throughout the school year. Students from around the world unite to compete in Formula SAE competitions where they can showcase their projects.
The Jayhawk Motorsports team placed nineteenth out of 102 teams at the Michigan Formula SAE competition in mid-May. Tim McClintock, power train team leader and 2010 engineering physics graduate from Council Grove, said there was a reason they didn't place higher.
"We had our gaskets fail in Detroit, but we figured it out before and swapped in a spare engine. We didn't realize the spare engine was already damaged," McClintock said.
Those engine issues forced the team to miss two events of the competition. Despite complications, the team finished in the top 10 in the design, presentation and endurance categories.
University of Engineering Communications Coordinator Cody Howard said he is confident the team will have better results at the competition in California.
"If the engine had been running the entire time, they would have been in the top 10 easily." Howard said. "It'll be great to see how things go this time if they can work out all the bugs."
And that's exactly what the Jayhawk
Motorsports team has been trying to do. Team members described their work as a "Nine to five job." Students took a short break after the end of the spring semester and have spent the majority of
the last three weeks in the shop testing and repairing the race car. Matt Petty, team captain and a 2010 graduate from Chanhassen, Minn., said in a University news release that challenges with the car "helped the team unite and regain momentum

Sacred Journey hits another bump in the legal system
BY JANENE GIER jgier@kansan.com
Just as the K2 chaos seemed to quiet, Sacred Journey experienced more legal trouble — this time in the form of a hefty tax bill. Officials entered Sacred Journey, 1103 Massachusetts St., Thursday morning to confiscate a Chinese herbal supplement and money, and to tax Sacred Journey's owner, Natalie McAnulla.

The FDA removed fenfluramine, more commonly known as Fen-Phen, from the market in 1997 because of the potential risk to the heart.
McAnulla said the pills, called Que She, were confiscated because they contained a banned ingredient she was not aware of.
"Apparently it has fenfluramine in it. They told me this. They just came in and took it all and drug taxed me 200 dollars per pill I had in stock. They took every penny I

QueSheis touted on many websites, such as Bouncingbearbotanicals, com, for its weight loss effects, but the product is no longer available for purchase. Bouncing Bears Botanicals, which sells products such as salvia and hallucinogenic mushrooms and formerly sold to Sacred Journey, could not be reached for comment.

Regan said this kind of thing makes people expect that Sacred Journey will be shut down. He said he's not sure that people should be selling those kinds of things to any willing customer.
Lydia Shontz, the Sacred Journey manager, said she arrived to work about 15 minutes after the officials showed up last Thursday and said they didn't leave until about 3 p.m. The store remained closed for the rest of the day.
Cary Engle, owner of neighboring Engwood Florist, 1101 Mass., said it was a slow summer day and he didn't know officials had entered and closed Sacred Journey that day.
"The last time they came, there were police cars lined up around the corner. I haven't noticed anything going on over there today." Engle
said.
Sgt. Troy Squire, investigative detective at the Lawrence Police Department, said Lawrence officers were there to provide local support,
but he could not comment further.
A representative from the U.S. attorney's office declined to say whether Sacred Journey was raided or if it was under investigation.

BIG 12 CONFERENCE
BAYLOR BEARS
STATE
KU
Trying to remember how we got here? Here's what has happened the past week:
Friday, June 4
The Big 12 held meetings in Kansas City, Mo. this week and one of the proposals that surfaced involved six members of the conference to move to the Pac-10.
Athletic Director Lew Perkins didn't attend the past three meetings because of a schedule conflict, but he is not worried about where the state of the Big 12 is headed.
"Based on a considerable amount of work by Commissioner Dan Beebe and others," Perkins said in a release Friday, "I am very encouraged as these meetings end about the strength and viability of the Big 12 Conference."
"I respect the candidness of everyone who attended these meetings. We engaged cooperatively in a positive manner to work toward the goal that I think everyone wants, and I can say that I feel very good about the future of the Big
Among the schools in consideration to join the Pac-10 are Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Colorado, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State.
12. We at Kansas Athletics know that the Big 12 is one of the best conferences in the country, and we are confident about its future. I appreciate all of those at KU who have worked very hard to keep the Big 12 at the forefront of intercollegiate athletics. We all must stay patient and let this process take its course, but at the end of the day I am convinced that the Big 12 will remain, as it is today, a national leader."
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little was kept abreast on the situation as well.
"Lew has kept me informed as these meetings progressed. I share his optimism about the Big 12 and look forward to working with my colleagues to ensure a strong future for the conference."
Tuesday, June 8
The Big 12 was still intact, but its future remained shaky.
Much was discussed, but definitive answers about the future of the Big 12 were hard to come by. Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe just showed his optimism that the conference would retain its current members.
"I am comfortable," he said during a press conference following Friday's meetings. "There is a process that we're going through, but based on the conversations that we've had, I think we're in a good position."
Among the schools in consideration to join the Pac-10 are Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and either Colorado or Baylor.
Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State and either Baylor or Colorado — whichever gets left out of Pac-10 talks — would have to find a new location if this Big 12 blow-
up happens. Right now, speculation has the Jayhawks going to the Mountain West or possibly to a yet-to-be formed super conference if they should be left out.
Beebe said he had several reasons to be confident that the league would remain as is, namely because of the strength the Big 12 shows every season.
"I don't blame those other conferences for looking at our institutions" he said. "They're valuable institutions with a lot of great history and tradition and could add a lot. But I think that we have a compelling case for why these 12 should stay together."
He said the Big 12 would like to explore options to expand the league, even though he said 12 teams seemed to be the appropriate number.
Wednesday, June 9
In a move that could spell the apocalypse for the Big 12 Conference, the Pac-10 is looking to extend offers for membership to Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State in addition to already offering Colorado. a source familiar with the negotiations told ESPN.com's Ted Miller.
Texas legislators had been pushing for Baylor to be the sixth school included, rather than Colorado, but it is believed that the draw of the Denver television market — sixteenth largest in the country — was the deciding factor.
One Big 12 football coach told ESPN. com's Mark Schlabach that, should Nebraska accept an invitation to join the Big Ten - and it was reported earlier today that they had - it would lead to the dissolution of the Big 12, according to his athletics director and university
president.
Should the six schools receiving offers from the Pac-10 accept them - it likely hinges entirely in Texas' decision - it would be a doomsday scenario for Kansas and the other four remaining Big 12 teams, which would be left without a conference. NCAA rules state that a conference must have at least six teams with five years of playing experience together, so the remaining five would likely have to separate to find homes.
It is rumored that even if the five Big 12 South schools with offers decline, the Pac-10 will look to expand to 12 teams, with Colorado priority number one, according to a report at chicagobreakingsports.com.
Sunday, June 13
The University of Texas has likely single-handedly put a halt to conference realignment by rejecting a membership invite from the Pac-10 and committing to the Big 12.
Larry Scott, commissioner of the Pac 10 Conference, confirmed to the Dallas Morning News that the Longhorns would not be joining the Pac-10, essentially saving the Big 12 (and setting off small parties in Lawrence; Manhattan, Kans.; Ames, Iowa; Waco, Tex.; and Columbia, Mo. in the process).
In a brief phone conversation with the Morning News, Scott said:"We've been informed by University of Texas president Bill Powers that Texas will stay with the Big 12. We have not received definitive details about this decision. It is our understanding that Texas was going to meet the terms that we have
proposed."
At least three schools considering defection - Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State - will follow Texas in whatever decision it makes.
The Morning News is also reporting that, under Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe's plan to save the conference, Texas A&M will also remain in the Big 12, negating recent serious flirtations with the SEC.
Beebe told the 10 remaining Big 12 schools that, upon the conference's renewal of its television contract in 2011, the schools will see an increase in revenue distribution from as little as $7 million per school to $17 million per school each year.

What does this mean for Kansas?

But the question now must be posed: What's next for Kansas?
First and foremost, it can stop worrying about winding up outside a BCS conference. Second, it will drastically alter the Kansas schedule in both football and basketball, starting with the 2011 season.

Coaches Bill Self and Turner Gill gave a press conference regarding their thoughts about the recent activity inside the Big IX. They both optimistically answered questions about recruiting possibilities and KU's future in the conference.

FOOTBALL
In football, instead of breaking the remaining 10 schools into two divisions like the Big 12 always has, each school will play all the others, expanding the conference schedule from eight to nine games.
Instead of having years off, the Jayhawks will face conference powers Texas and Oklahoma every year. When the Jayhawks took advantage of a schedule lacking appearances by either the Longhorns or Sooners in 2008 and made an incredible run to the Orange Bowl, they'll have to work their way past every school in the
conference — not just a chosen few.
It will make new coach Turner Gill's job a little more difficult. After all, the layhawks are a combined 29-76 against those two schools in football. Gill, as is his style, focused on the positives of the situation — most notably, the ability to recruit prospect-laden Texas more than ever.
"It's a great opportunity for parents to see their son play two to three times for sure a year," Gill said. "Then you talk about their whole career and it gets up into the four to six times. So it gives a great opportunity for people in Texas to see their son and not have to travel a whole lot."
BASKETBALL
In basketball, the conference schedule will be a double round robin format, with each team playing a home-and-home series against all the others. It's an attractive option because each school will visit every other every season, letting some of the conference powers, for example Texas and Kansas, develop deeper rivalries.
Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe expressed excitement at the concept of schools hosting the conference's basketball powers every year.
"Certainly Kansas has had a lot of
success." Beebe said. "There's a lot of excitement about having a team like Kansas come to your arena every year."
It's also notable that the defection of Colorado and Nebraska made the conference a noticeably stronger basketball conference. Nine of the remaining 10 schools at least received votes for the top 25 last season, and seven were ranked at some point during the year.
Even Self noted that the conference would be stronger without the downtrodden — in a basketball sense, at least — pair.
"I think we're better off than we've
ever been," Self said. "And that's not taking anything away from Nebraska and Colorado, but we're a true league now. How many leagues in the country get the chance to really play for a true championship in the BCS?"
But Kansas still remains the team to beat in basketball, and the top contenders remain in conference to try to do so.
So Kansas' world will change because of conference realignment. But only slightly. And the Big 12 is still home.

ACADEMICS
New study question benefits of test prep
For many high school seniors, the letters A-C-T or S-A-T mean hours of studying, a lack of sleep and living in a constant state of anxiety.
To prepare for admissions tests, college prep companies such as Kaplan and Princeton Review offer courses designed to help students improve their college admission test scores.
Stephanie Miller, a senior from San Diego, said it was the norm for students at her high school to enroll in test prep courses. Miller took a two-hour course two nights a week in the weeks leading up to her test date.
"My score went up significantly so it really helped." Miller said. "It also applied to just taking tests in general."
But according to a 2009 report by the National Association for College Admission Counseling, students benefit far less from college test prep than advertised. The research found that
students gain an average of 30 points on the SAT and less than one point on the ACT from prep courses.
Students might be drawn to these help courses by advertising, "Our SAT Ultimate Classroom students average a score improvement of 255 points" as the Princeton Review claimed.
Kristen Campbell, director of college prep programs at Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions, said these types of ads should be proven if they are printed. Campbell said that students should be careful to trust claims about score improvement.
"We would caution consumers to be careful about test prep players that make score gain claims as these claims are often unreliable or inflated," Campbell said.
In May, the Princeton Review voluntarily stopped making claims regarding their test prep courses and how many points students could improve on admission tests with the help of their services. The National Advertising Division of the Council
of Better Business Bureaus said removing the ads was "necessary and appropriate."
Lisa Pinamonti Kress, director of KU Admissions and Scholarships, said college test prep could give students an idea of the types of questions they'll be asked to answer.
"I think that if a student takes the exam the first time and they're not satisfied with their score it could be beneficial to them," Pinamonti Kress said. "I know some students have test anxiety so it could help them be better prepared."
Pinamonti Kress said that while test scores were important for admissions to the University, they were only one of the three requirements needed for admission. Scholarship recipients, though, typically have an ACT scoref above 27.
"The score is important when it comes to scholarships." Pinamonti Kress said. "We look at things like their GPA and their test score on the application."

THE ARTS
KU grads take their art to rural Oklahoma
BY MATT KUHLMAN mkuhlman@kansan.com
While most artists dream of doing their craft in New York City or another arts Mecca, Amber Hansen and Nick Ward opted for a less-traveled artistic path and took their skills to Tonkawa, Okla.
Hansen and Ward both earned their master of fine arts degrees from the University this spring. Before the spring semester was even finished, they found themselves working on a project in the town of 3,300 people just south of the Kansas-Oklahoma border with Lawrence muralist Dave Loewenstein.
Loewenstein met Hansen and Ward in 2008 when they headed their first mural project in Junction City.
com-
"It was almost torture because we didn't know what we were
doing," Hansen said of their first project.
Loewenstein remembered the pair when he was unable to find local assistants for the Tonkawa mural and asked for their help with the two-month project.
"I don't think they really realized what it was going to be like," Loewenstein said. "It requires a lot out of someone to do these things."
Hansen said one topic that came up in their talks was the Three Sands Oil Field, which quickly created a lot of wealth in the area and caused Tonkawa's population to grow to 15,000 people in the 1920's. Other things they learned were the importance of agriculture and the railroad in the town's past, and the nearby Tonkawa Tribe that the town is named after. She said these discussions created a lot of excitement among residents and informed their decisions on what to
One of their responsibilities was to design the imagery of the mural, which they did with the help of local citizens. For most of April they traveled to Tonkawa for days at a time to study the town's history and talk with the residents about what should be included in the mural.
"It's about having a really rich and unique experience while you're there. I think, from my perspective, that's what we had."
include in the munity's mural.
"It was like all these other conversations and events wrapped around this one thing. Like the mural itself was very tiny compared to all the activity and discussion around it," Hansen said.
Hansen and Ward lived in Tonkawa during the production of the mural, which began May 1 and ended June 5. They said their experience from teaching art classes at the University helped them manage up to 80 of the town's residents who came to help paint. They said they also enjoyed seeing the residents of the town bond with each other through the project.
Hansen said she observed this best when she saw two boys working with a woman who she assumed was their grandmother, only to later realize that they didn't

know each other.
"They had just seen themselves as this little team by painting next to each other," she said.
Loewenstien said the engagement that Hansen and Ward found in Tonkawa was exactly what he aimed to promote through his mural projects.
During their stay, Hansen and Ward helped organize other events for the community.
"It's about having a really rich and unique experience while you're there. I think, from my perspective, that's what we had," he said.
They began holding movie nights by projecting movies on the side of the Dollar General store. They also closed down the main street for an afternoon to hold a community dinner while kids did chalk drawings on the sidewalk and rode their bikes until sundown.
"Eventually we're going to paint a mural, but that's more of a catalyst and an excuse in a way, for the other things that took place," he said.
Ward said these kinds of happenings were the larger goal of the project.

Recent graduates Amber Hansen and Nick Ward worked with muralist Dave Loewenstein to paint this mural in Tonkawa, Okla. The project lasted about two months.

Haskell group using peyote in ceremonies
BY ALEX TRETBAR

After Corey LeRoy was born prematurely with medical problems, her family, part of the Northern Ponca tribe of Nebraska, took her to a Native American Church ceremony. At three months old, LeRoy took yoe妃 for the first time.
The plant turned LeRoy's life around.
"I was born with a club foot," LeRoy said. "I don't have it now. They thought I was going to be mentally retarded. I'm not because of this. They used that avenue to heal me."
peyotism. Native Americans have used peyote, or Lophophora williamsii, for religious purposes for more than 5,000 years. Peyote is a powerful entheogen, a psychoactive substance used in spiritual contexts. Haskell is the only university in the country that is exempt from federal criminal penalties for religious use of peyote.
Haskell has a charter that allows students to hold meetings on a regular basis in teepees on the outskirts of campus, a convenience no other universities in the country have. The NAC club has about 25 active members, compared to about six members two years ago. LeRoy

"It starts with a God-given thought," Wilson said. "Someone might be in need of prayers or they are worried about certain family members. They can be for birthdays, funeral services, many things. It starts with a thought and it leads to service."

is one of the recent additions to the club.
NAC club sponsor Ernest Wilson, known to many students as "Chief", is a security guard at Haskell and has worked at the school for 20 years. Wilson is one of the men who oversee the ceremonies, which the Haskell NAC club usually holds at the beginning and end of every semester.
LeRoy said that NAC members don't consider peye, their "medicine", a drug and that she has seen miracles many people would not believe. But the meetings don't require everyone to use the medicine.
"You can certainly go to it and not use the medicine," LeRoy said. "The medicine is a holy sacrament to us. Some people say you just go there to trip, but it's holy to us. We would never insult that."
Women - The NAC is hierarchical, meaning men and women have differing roles. Women prepare meals at the beginning and end of the meetings, and bring water to the roadman and other worshippers after the ceremony.
Drummer - Plays instruments like the water drum to keep rhythm for songs
Jeffrey Elizondo, a senior from Oklahoma, is the president of the NAC club at Haskell. Elizondo said people from all over the state and other parts of the country come to pray for various causes.
"It's someplace to pray when you are far from home," Elizondo said. "A lot of students here miss their families."
Roadman - Leads the ceremonies in prayer; similar to the role of a Christian priest

"The most important thing about the ceremonies for me is praying." Primaux said. "We're praying for lives, health, happiness and a good road or life. Everybody's seeking the same things."

Freight train backs off saqging Kan. bridge
WELLINGTON — Union Pacific pulled a freight train off a sagging bridge near the south-central Kansas town of Wellington Tuesday.
The crew got off the train safely, and Union Pacific workers spent the afternoon getting the train off the bridge.
said an engineer noticed problems Tuesday morning after two locomotives and two of the train's 66 cars were already on the bridge.
Railroad spokesman Tom Lange
The train came to a stop after the first locomotive crossed the sagging section of track. The second locomotive and all the cars were stranded behind the bowed section.
Officials said a car carrying anhydrous ammonia never made it onto the bridge and didn't leak.

Students cut it off to give back for Locks of Love
BY HANNAH JENNISON hjennison@kansan.com
Dani Marvin thinks about how she has the ability to help people with cancer as scissors fight to cut off 12 inches of thick hair.
"It allows them to still feel normal and beautiful while they may feel down most of the time," Marvin, a senior from Shawnee, said.
The first time Marvin donated her hair, she was a sophomore in high school.
"I did it for one of my mom's best friends, Sarah. She died of breast cancer. She was a strong soul and left a lot of people to mourn over her young death."
The second time she donated was during her junior year in college.
"Why be selfish and try and get this cute haircut when you can make someone else's life just a little better."
Marvin said.
Locks of Love is a non-profit organization that creates hairpieces for financially disadvantaged children who are suffering from long-term medical hair loss.
"In our store alone we probably do 10 to 14 students per semester." Kathy Frye, Lawrence Great Clips manager, said.
Frye said she had one client who has donated her hair three or four times.
"When she was in elementary school, one of her friends passed away from cancer," Frye said.
Some people who donate their hair don't have specific reasons for donating. They just want to help out the kids who need hair.
"Little kids get made fun of if they're bald because kids don't understand that kind of thing, especially if the bald child is a girl," Frye said.
Lauren Suter, a senior from Shawnee, said that she donated 12 inches of hair during spring break.
"I had been growing out my hair for a while and decided to cut it all off during the spring. I wanted to cut it off earlier but I knew that the longer the hair, the more it could benefit a child." Suter said.
Although some people get instant gratification after donating their hair to such a good cause, cutting off 10 or more inches of hair can be a stressful situation.
"It was weird donating my hair. One, I lost 12 inches. And two, it was odd to think that another child would be wearing my hair. As good as it made me feel to know I was benefiting a life, it was odd to think about how exactly I was doing so." Suter said.

NATIONAL
Philly challenges ban on gays in Boy Scouts
BY MARYCLAIRE DALE
Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — City lawyers called on local Boy Scout officials to muster "the courage of their convictions" and challenge their national group's ban on gays as a trial over government funding opened Tuesday.
The city of Philadelphia wants to end its $1-a-year lease to the local Boy Scouts chapter unless it rejects a Boy Scouts of America policy banning "avowed" gays. The city says the national rule violates a local law banning discrimination on sexual-orientation and other grounds.
Local scout chapters, including the Cradle of Liberty Council in Philadelphia, have struggled in recent years to satisfy both public and private funders as well as their
national leadership's dictums. The Boy Scout oath calls for members to be "morally straight," which the national group interprets to mean that gays cannot participate.
In 2004, the Philadelphia chapter agreed to ban any "unlawful" discrimination. But the city said the policy didn't go far enough, given that the U.S. Supreme Court in 2000 had said scouts and other private organizations can legally restrict membership.
"The city tried for years to get them to (muster) ... the courage of their convictions," lawyer David Smith, representing the city, told jurors Monday in opening statements. "You can't go on speaking out of both sides of your mouth because we, the government, cannot subsidize that kind of conduct."

Mycological Society hunts mushrooms on campus
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
Sherry Kay can't remember how long she's been hunting mushrooms or exactly when she started.
"I started doing this with my mother when I was just a child." Kay said, "And I'm old."
Regardless of when she started, she doesn't plan on stopping soon. Kay, the president of the Kaw Valley Mycological Society, hosted the group's monthly mushroom hunt Saturday despite cool temperatures and intermittent rain.
Kay and her husband of 35 years, Richard, founded the society 25 years ago. About 15 people usually show up for their monthly hunts — though the uncooperative weather, Richard said, kept the group at 10 last weekend.
Richard has a better idea of when he started hunting mushrooms because it coincides with him meeting Sherry.
"It must have been maybe 35 years ago. I just celebrated my 35th wedding anniversary and my wife was interested in foraging in the city, so I would go out on walks with her and we got more interested and we got some books and we started going out to places in the country," he said.
He stressed that it doesn't take the wilderness to forage, though. He said their first forays into hunting together often involved just walking around campus when Sherry was in graduate school at the University.
"You don't have to go very far to hunt," Richard said. "For example, the pine trees in front of Watson Library are always a good place, or the ones on the west side of Strong Hall. There's a lot of great mushrooming right there on campus."
Last weekend alone, the group found four mushrooms that had previously not been found in Kansas.
"It's the rain," Sherry said. "It brings out a lot of new and different types of mushrooms."
Sherry said the Mycological Society often provides dried specimens for the University of Kansas herbarium, located in Bridwell Laboratory on the West Campus, in order to preserve both the mushroom specimen and the molecular genetics therein.
Two of the more popular mushrooms the group found this weekend were chanterelles, which are orange or yellow and funnel-shaped, and laetiporus, or chicken of the woods, which is said to resemble the flavor and appearance of white chicken meat when cooked.
"Chanterelle season is beginning. They are so beautiful, and we had a lovely batch. We found well over 100 on Saturday. We also found chicken of the woods; it's bright on the top, yellow on the underside. It's a real delicious edible mushroom."

Constant buzz surrounds World Cup
JOHANNESBURG — For me, the 2010 World Cup didn't start with a bang. It was more like a buzz.
I was trying to fully recover from any lingering jet-lag symptoms before the bumblebee-like vuvuzea buzz came roaring through my window. Approximate time? 5 a.m. Thursday here, approximately 10 p.m. Wednesday in Lawrence.

was on like Donkey Kong.
We had a shuttle arranged to leave from our hotel at 10 a.m., expecting the ride to take more than two hours. However, our shuttle had a new driver: a wily South African with a deep knowledge of the streets. We took back roads until we hit the major traffic outside Soccer City and made it in a little over an hour.
With the free time, we decided to check out the Soccer City itself. Not a
ton of things to "do",but the number of people watching surpassed anything I've been a part of. You had the Bafana Bafana faithful — the South African fans — completely decked out in green and gold,a vuvuzela at everyone's hip. You had the Mexican fans,some playing into common stereotypes with others shaking wooden noisemakers like they were getting paid to do it.
The third group was us: the nonpartisan fans expecting to head back home with blown eardrums. We saw a few England fans milling around, and I can tell you that my passion for cheering against them was already building.
We headed in around 1 p.m. and began to realize what we were getting ourselves into. The speakers were blaring already, so we figured that

Pujols, Cardinals whip Mariners
BY R.B. FALLSTROM Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — Albert Pujols took one off the noggin for his team on a perfect day at the plate and stand-in cleanup hitter Ryan Ludwick homered to help the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Seattle Mariners 9-3 on Monday night.
Pujols singled three times and walked twice as the Cardinals bounced back after totaling 19 runs during a 1-5 West Coast swing that dropped them out of the NL Central lead. Plus, he stayed in the game after a throw to the plate glanced off his helmet ear flap in the fifth.
Ludwick finished with four RBIs and Adam Wainwright (9-4) pitched into the eighth after a shaky start. Matt Holliday also was a success batting second for the first time in his career, getting two hits and scoring twice.
The Mariners have lost six of seven, fizzling after Ichiro Suzuki hit the second pitch of the game for his 31st career leadoff homer — tying Chuck Knoblauch for 10th place. Suzuki also doubled in the eighth for his major league-leading 31st multihit game.
Luke French (0-1) replaced struggling Ian Snell in the rotation and allowed four runs in four innings.
Colby Rasmus homered in a four-run fifth off Snell, one of the runs scoring when Pujols broke for the plate on David Freese's chopper to third and was struck by Jose Lopez's errant throw.
Pujols was helped off the field by teammate Yadier Molina after receiving treatment from a trainer, but just moments later was chatting with teammates in the dugout.
The Mariners had two runs on three hits in the first against Wainwright (9-4), and no runs and one hit over the next six innings. It was Wainwright's 21st consecutive home start with three or fewer runs on his line, the longest streak in major league history, according to research by the Elias Sports Bureau.

Boot Camp numbers decline
Fewer enroll in rec center classes during summer
BY ALISON CUMBOW alisonc@kansan.com
Alex Miller has been training students at the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center for the past four years. He's watched them
struggle to lift weights, run more miles than they thought they could, gain muscle and lose weight. This summer, Miller, a recent graduate, will put his training methods to the test

"It's a good way to get the day started," Miller said.
Amber Long, assistant director of fitness at the Ambler recreation center,
said Boot Camp was a great way to challenge students' bodies because it provided a different workout each session.
"Boot Camp started last year as a result of industry trends and the interest in group training programs," she said.
Miller said two coaches guide each group of recruits during the workouts, the first of which
is called "The Survivor Test," an initiation test aimed to gauge students' abilities and eventually compare their them with the last session's test.
"This session will take place out on campus rain or shine," he said. "It has some of the most challenging workouts we've had yet."
"They proceeded to run to the restroom and puke part way through a workout," he said. "They never came hung over again."
Miller said students should come ready to work, unlike the funniest thing he had seen a few recruits do in a previous Boot Camp class they showed up hung over.
Boot Camp costs $50 for 12 sessions, and Long said most of that money goes toward purchasing new equipment and paying the student

Soccer, Skype connect Free State to German pub
BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com
The Free State Brewing Co. and St. Michaelis Brauhaus in Eutin, Germany — about 4,600 miles apart — came together for the duration of the World Cup match up between the United States and England Saturday.
The two breweries, which already had an existing relationship, were able to connect before the game and during halftime with the help of Skype.
Andrew Toth, a senior from Colby, helped set up the event and thought a group of Lawrence natives currently in Eutin would enjoy experiencing the game with their fellow Americans.
UPCOMING WORLD CUP GAMES
"The people on their side thought it would be nice to give Americans a place to watch the game." Toth said. "And since we're here watching it, it's a good opportunity to go ahead and get connected with them."
S. M. G. R.
"That was the first effort to make a connection between the two breweries." Baron said.
About 30 high school and college students are currently in Eutin, a sister city of Lawrence. About 10 KU students and 10 Lawrence High students will spend six weeks in Eutin for language camp. Ten other Kansas students will intern for six weeks.
Frank Baron, a professor of German languages and literatures, has a close connection to Eutin and St. Brauhaus from taking students there on trips. In 1993, he said, the Eutin brewery sent 13 glasses to Free State Brewing Co. to establish a sort of partnership.

The couple was at the Skype event Saturday hoping to see Fran's family, who was at St. Michaelis during the game. The limited time viewing was a bit of a disappointment for her.
"Someone should tell them to keep the call on the whole time," Luck said. "I barely got to see my mom."
The view from Eutin's call was a long table full of the American visitors, ecstatic after the United States tied the game in the first half.
Toth said the World Cup's global appeal made it the perfect occasion to connect with his peers. Since all the Lawrence affiliates gathered, it was a fitting way to watch the game for both breweries.
"On that side and this side as well, the program is pretty tight knit," he said. "If something like this is going on in town, most likely they're all going to be there."

Siphiwe Tshabalala, a name that will adorn South Africa's sports page tomorrow, launched a strike into the corner of the net. The underdog Bafana Bafana were on top. For the next 24 minutes, Soccer City was a party with no music other than the blaring vuvuzel occasionally creating a beat. The dancing was contagious: I found myself doing a vuvuzel-like Tomahawk chant and providing the "CHARGE" note on that whole "CHARGE" chant.
The game would end in a tie, a disappointment for the better Mexico and a "Well. OK!" for South Africa.
But Mexico's Rafa Marquez became unmarked on a cross and turned off the music with an equalizing goal.
I am looking forward to tomorrow's — or today's, depending on when you read this — U.S.-England match. If I can get emotionally involved in a South Africa-Mexico game, I hope I don't go overboard and punch an Englishman tomorrow night. Any result would be fantastic, but I still want
to the Yanks to play aggressive and try to nab three points.
I'm expecting the vuvuzela buzz to be my alarm clock tomorrow, but I've realized that I need to embrace the noise instead of frown upon it.
Maybe I'll be up buzzing too, even though my vuvuzela skills are lacking.
I'll work on it.

"It's an exciting start to the World Cup for us. They don't come much bigger than England, so it's a real special one. It's great for the fans and exciting for the players too. We're well aware of the history of the two teams at the World Cup, especially 1950, but times have moved on since then. We look at it as a big challenge and one that we're thrilled to have. I think that England and ourselves are favorites to qualify from the group, even though Algeria and Slovenia both came through great situations to get to the World Cup: Algeria with a historic win in Sudan, Slovenia beating Russia in the European play-offs."

Kerr wins rain-delayed State Farm Classic
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — The flu didn't get to Cristie Kerr during the week. The weather didn't get to her over the weekend. And none of her competitors could stop her from collecting a second LPGA State Farm Classic championship Monday.
"It's pretty amazing," Kerr said. "An amazing, long week."
Kerr held off late challenges by Anna Nordqvist and Na Yeon Choi at the rain-delayed tournament, shooting a 3-under 69 in the final round at Panther Creek Country Club to secure the first LPGA Tour victory by an American since Michelle Wie won the Lorena Ochoa Invitational in November.
Kerr, who also won the title in 2004, finished at 22-under 266,a

shot ahead of Nordqvist and Choi.
Kerr led after third-round play was completed Sunday morning and would have been the champ if the fourth round had been washed out. But with more than half the round completed when heavy rains and lightning rolled in Sunday, tour officials decided to try to finish the tournament Monday.
Kerr never wavered. After Saturday's delay, she made six more birdies to finish with a 63. Monday, she birdied three holes before an inconsequential bogey on 18.
Kerr said the stormy conditions Sunday helped her.
"It was actually to my advantage that they called play last evening, because I was just exhausted," she said. "I didn't sleep well at all on Saturday night, just up coughing the whole night."
Kerr came down with flu-like symptoms early in the week and then weathered two storm postponements that left birdie putts on the course to post rounds of 67-67-63-69. She missed the green and bogied 18 on Monday, but with a two-shot lead over Nordqvist and Choi, her two-putt was good for the victory.

Sooners looking at own TV network
NORMAN, Okla. — Texas isn't the only Big 12 school looking into
whether it should start its own TV network.
Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione said Tuesday that the Sooners are also interested in the possibility. He says the school has
already invested $3 million in a high-definition video facility on campus.
He says the school doesn't have a time frame for the project and is still deciding how the network
would be made available to customers and fans. He says research suggests the network could be a success.
Texas agreed to stay in the Big 12 this week in part after getting assurances that it retains local media rights, including the possibility of a Longhorns network.

CLARIFICATION
The June 16 headline "Boot Camp numbers down" incorrectly implied that the Boot Camp class was struggling to find interested students. The class has fewer participants in the summer because fewer students are on campus.

Maj. Darryl Priest, a student in KU's master's program in interagency studies at the Special Operations Command in Ft. Leavenworth, died June 16.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray- Little released the following statement today:
"On behalf of the entire university community, I extend my deepest sympathy and condolences to Maj. Priest's wife and son, family and friends. This is a staggering loss of a bright young man who excelled in his studies here. We all salute his heroic service and dedication to our country and mourn his untimely passing."
Priest, 34, earned a bachelor's at Alabama A&M University in Huntsville. He served in the U.S. Army for 10 years as an infantry platoon leader, logistics planner and a psychological operations team leader. He had one tour of duty in Kuwait and three deployments to Iraq between 2003 and 2009.

Parking regulations change in summer
Student drivers have more parking options in summer months
BY LUYAN WANG
lwang@kansan.com
Unlike the fall and spring semesters, students who drive to school can park their cars in residence hall parking lots without fear of being ticketed during the summer semester.
But yellow zones are ticketed in summer, and a summer semester parking permit costs $37, according to University Parking and Transit Department Director Donna R. Hultine.

zones and the Park and Ride lot tor free this summer.
Students who live off-campus can always buy yellow permits, but because the permits are usually oversold during the regular semesters, they may not be able to park exactly where they want, according to the Parking and Transit department website.
"But I usually park off campus in regular semesters," Latif said, "which is hard because it's hot outside."
Shaheen Latif, a graduate student from Olathe, said she takes advantage of the free parking during the summer.

a longer distance in the hot, summer weather.
According to the University Parking and Transit department, students can park in yellow zones and residence hall parking lots without being ticketed when classes are not in session. Between July 31 to August 19, students can park in any students lot without a permit.
Residence halls will be ticketed again beginning August 19. Red, blue and gold zones are ticketed all year whether classes are in session or not.

POLITICS
Colombia elects KU grad as new president
BOGOTA, Colombia — A graduate of the University of Kansas, also a member of a powerful political clan, won Colombia's presidency Sunday, routing an eccentric outsider in a runoff.
The victory for Juan Manuel Santos, a 58-year-old economist, was a ringing endorsement of outgoing conservative President Alvaro Uribe, whose U.S.-backed security policies he helped craft and promised to continue.
In his victory speech before a crowd of 10,000 in a Bogota coliseum preceded by a traditional music and dance troupe, Santos
lionized Uribe.
"If we have come so far it's because we have been standing on the shoulders of giants," he said, calling Uribe "an exceptional person who transformed our country"
With nearly all polling stations reporting, Santos had 69 percent of the vote. Two-time Bogota Mayor Antanas Mockus had 28 percent. It was largest margin of victory in a presidential vote in modern Colombian history, said Carlos Ariel Sanchez, director of the national electoral council.
More than 3 percent of voters tendered protest ballots, indicating dissatisfaction with both candidates.

Elementary students help K-State research
HUTCHINSON — Some Hutchinson elementary school students are helping Kansas State University with a summer research project.
The students from Prosperity Elementary are observing different varieties of tomatoes and sweet peppers for the research project.
Charlie Barden, a Kansas State professor, says the Reno County project is the first to use elementary students to collect data on the plants.
The Hutchinson News reports
that the students will note such things as whether the plants develop diseases, their size and uniformity.
The students' teachers will use the project to help with several classroom lessons when school resumes in the fall.

Flaming rat causes fire at Wash. VFW building
YAKIMA, Wash. — A rat is suspected of starting a fire at the Veterans of Foreign War building in Yakima.
KAPP-TV reports that investigators discovered a rat had chewed through an electrical cord. The rat apparently caught fire and ran to its nest, igniting flammable items.
The fire last week spread quickly through the building, damaging several rooms and war memorabilia.
The fire department says damage could exceed $1 million.
National Hollerin' champs escapes disqualification
SPIVEY'S CORNER, N.C. — A North Carolina man who won the National Hollerin' Contest says he almost disqualified himself by going over the four-minute time limit.
The Fayetteville Observer reports that Tony Peacock of Siler City won the 42nd annual contest Saturday in Spivey's Corner in central North Carolina. His hollerin rendition of the popular Gershwin tune "Summertime" got him the title.
Peacock says he had to cut snort his last holler because he had only two seconds left.
The winner of the contest gets bragging rights and opportunities to perform at events and on television.
Festival seeking world record with 2,300 pirates
That's the question this weekend at the fourth annual Northern California Pirate Festival in Vallejo.
VALLEJO, Calif. — Yo-ho-ho, how many pirates can there be?
Festival-goers are seeking to enter the Guinness Book of World Records for the most costumed pirates in one place. On Saturday, nearly 2,300 pirates had registered. But the festival's official count wouldn't be out until after the event ends Sunday.
Festival spokesperson Shannon Damnavis says each pirate has to wear a red wristband, stand in one place for 10 minutes and be photographed. Guinness then certifies the count.
The current titleholder is Brixham England, where 1,722 costumed pirates were recorded.
Real-life Goldilocks gets probation for break-in
WELLINGTON, New Zealand — A blonde, pony-tailed burglar ate some food, drank some alcohol, tried on clothes and then found the bed in a New Zealand home just right.
But upon finding a modern-day Goldilocks asleep in his bed, the homeowner in the southern city of Christchurch exercised an option The Three Bears didn't. He called police.
In court Monday, 39-year-old Vanessa Joy Long pleaded guilty and said she blacked out and doesn't remember what happened June 5. The judge ordered a probation report to see if Long was suitable for home detention and could pay for her misdemeanors.
The damage was estimated at
1,500 New Zealand dollars ($1,064)
She was released on bail for sentence on Sept. 1.

BP, Obama should take responsibility for oil spill
My dad, a business owner for more than 20 years, once told me, "When a customer has a problem or an order is incorrect, the problem is fixed right then and there, no questions asked." I, along with most Americans, wish this were the case for the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
So far, the Obama administration has truly failed to show Americans that it cares about containing the oil spill. After the 62nd day of oil spilling out of the gulf at an estimated 1.3 million gallons daily, nothing notable has been done.
The administration keeps telling us that they have had a hand on controlling the oil spill. It is absurd that the

administration took weeks to respond to the crisis. The president did visit the affected area on numerous occasions, but aside from observing and consoling local residents, his administration pointed fingers and blamed everything on BP.
Both the president and BP CEO Tony Hayward must take responsibility. Placing blame and throwing lawsuits at BP is not a practical solution for solving this problem. Economist Thomas Sowell articulately wrote that, "a lawsuit is not going to stop the oil, and creating a distraction can only make people at BP start directing their attention to covering themselves instead of covering the oil well."
A Florida company invented a device called the voraxial separator, which separates large quantities of oily water. That is this machine's sole purpose, and a hopeful contribution for ending this disaster. This company contacted the Obama administration from the first few days of the oil spill, ready to help out. To this day, they have received no response.
In the meantime, Obama went to an MLB baseball game and played a round of golf, while Tony Hayward is in England attending a yacht race at the expense of more wildlife and American jobs and lost income. As the president of our country, its citizens expect responsibility and leader ship through good times and bad.
Remember, we put Obama in office. We are his bosses. I urge you to visit www.congress.org and contact your senators and representatives about pressuring Obama to do his job. It's one step in the right direction.

Patriots become soccer fans and vice versa
BONN, GERMANY — Patriotism is as synonymous with American culture as McDonalds and child obesity. For a variety of reasons — some better than others — we're a proud country. Just count the number of American flags that appear on front porches and in store windows as July 4 approaches.
It's almost a cliché to say that when Germany hosted to the tournament in 2006 a resurgence of national pride energized the country. Germans were once again proud to be Germans. Though it fell short of a perfect fairy tale ending à la the Brothers Grimm, a third place finish was nothing to be ashamed of.
It's a display of national pride with few comparisons in Germany, Nationalstolz, as it's timidly called here, was once as taboo as the phrase "Arbeit macht frei." Every four years there exists an exception to Germany's tentativeness toward all things patriotic: the World Cup.

I was lucky enough to be in Germany that summer as a member of my high school German class. Of the 11 days we spent traveling the country, the day Germany beat Poland remains my most memorable.

have thought Germany had just won the championship game. It was only the second match.
You can imagine the excitement I felt after realizing that I'd be back in Germany four years later for another World Cup. So what if the tournament is played 5,000 miles away in South Africa? "Fussball" fever runs much higher here than it ever will in the United States, especially during the World Cup.
The storyline was surprisingly familiar. Once again I'd be watching Germany's second game after a convincing first-round victory. Serbia, like Poland, was an undermanned and overmatched opponent.
I watched the game with nine Germans, all but one of whom donned a German soccer jersey. Six German flags hung throughout the room, and two of the men wore them as capes. Four years later, Nationalstolz was once again at a fever pitch.
Encouraged by German analysts and their predictions of an easy German victory — not to mention the general fervor in the room — I could hardly wait for the post-game celebrations to begin.
They never came. Serbia upset Germany, 1-0. After a moment of grief, German pride is once again running high in anticipation of today's must-win match against Ghana.
Americans need not understand injury time and offsides to relate to such exaggerated displays of patriotism. Yet despite their affinity for all things red, white and blue, many Americans fail to recognize the larger meaning of "futball."
Luckily, winning is also a part of American culture. I wonder how many United States victories it'll take for Americans to finally catch on.

Study: ADHD symptoms are easy to fake
BY KIRSTEN KWON
kkwon@kansan.com
Despite suspicions that getting a prescription for Adderall is fairly easy, little evidence has been able to support this claim until now. A recent study published in the Psychological Assessment Journal, found that anyone with knowledge of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, regardless of whether they have ADHD, can pass a symptom checklist required for the medication.
As a freshman, Ayo Amadi struggled to focus on schoolwork. He decided to get tested for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, or
ADHD. After only one visit and a series of questions, his doctor prescribed him Adderall—a drug highly sought by college students.
"He asked me how I've done in school, about my sleeping patterns
"It seems like it's very easy to get Adderall on this campus,which is horrible."
"It gave me a pleasant buzz and helped me focus, but after the first month it gave me headaches and I didn't feel good," Amadi said. "After a while I realized I didn't really need it."
and about my health, like how much I work out and how often I drink or smoke," Amadi, now a senior from Parsons, said. "He didn't run any actual tests. It was all on my input and what I said."
While many college students seek the drug's help to pull all-nighters for exams or get high, Amadi said he doesn't like to take his medication because of the negative side effects he experiences.
Physician at
Myra Strother, senior physician for Student Health Services, said anyone claiming to have ADHD needs to have documentation that they've had the symptoms since childhood. She said doctors need to look at multiple
areas of the person's life and should check up on their lifestyle.
“There’s no such thing as ‘I hit college and‘ got it’, Strother said. “Doctors need to think, do they have anxiety? Do they drink too much?”
Strother conducts ADHD screenings at Watkins Health Center on campus. She tests students to make sure there's a possibility they could have the disorder. From there Counseling and Psychological Services performs a full evaluation that consists of three to five sessions at $15 each.
"It seems like it's very easy to get Adderall on this campus, which is horrible," Strother said. "I can't imagine why anyone would go through
MYRA STROTHER

Services
the whole testing process when they can just get it from someone else."
Whether students can fool doctors or buy the drug from others, Adderall is prevalent among college-
aged adults.
But the drug that allows students to procrastinate until the night before a due date can also give users serious health problems. Potential side affects of Adderall include dizziness, pounding heartbeats and insomnia.
"For people who abuse the drug on a normal basis it's really bad," Strother said. "Drinking with it can hurt your liver, you won't get enough sleep and people can get really anxious if it's not prescribed to them."
Strother said psychologists need to be careful not to give prescriptions to those who don't need it, but also to make sure not to deny medication to those who do.
"I've seen situations where doctors give people the medication too easily," Strother said. "But kids that actually have ADHD can be a lot more successful with medication."

Some students dream of worldwide stardom, but thanks to the power of YouTube, a few University students have already achieved it.
Scott Nelson, a former University student from Dodge City, began making music videos with his friend Ryan James Yezak after the two met while attending college in Texas and before transferring to Kansas.
What began as a fun directing project for Yezak eventually led to fame for Nelson, who dressed as Lady Gaga, KeSha and Britney Spears in the videos. Their biggest hit to date, a version of Lady Gaga's "Telephone," has more than 11 million hits on YouTube. The video garnered attention from Perez Hilton, People.com and MTV, which referred to the spoof as "the 'Citizen Kane' of 'Telephone' tribute videos."
The group, which also includes Joe Lauer, a University student from Strong City, and Julian Rivera, a recent graduate in graphic design illustration from Lenexa. They both said Yezak usually initiated the plan, but that the others work together
"I'll get a call from Ryan with an idea, and then I start working on choreography. Then a few of us go out to try and see how we can throw together

Shoots are primarily done in the Lawrence and Kansas City areas. Students may recognize the upstairs of Henry's, alleyways on Massachussettes Street and parts of campus in the videos. But not everyone encourages the group shooting unofficial music videos at odd hours in extravagant costumes.

"We went to the nearest playground where we didn't think there'd be children to shoot Kesha," Nelson said. "Then the cops showed up. I was wearing a gorilla costume at the time trying to keep warm. They weren't too thrilled about us being in a park after midnight and made us leave"

"Anything by Lady Gaga or Britney and I'd be in it in a second."
Luna Flare and as Beyonce in the "Telephone" video, said various KU students were also involved with videos. Normally, he said, the regulars call around to friends to find extras for the shoots.
Yezak, who recently accepted a job with MTV as the executive assistant to the vice president of reality series, now lives in Hollywood, but still plans to direct. He announced an open casting call on his YouTube channel June 14 for his next project, "California Gays." The spoof of Katy Perry's summer hit "California Girls" will include the familiar face of Lauer, although past stars Rivera and Nelson will not be able to fly to
California for the shoot.
But all three agree they'd love to be a part of Yezak's future music videos, especially if they include tracks by a few particular artists.
"Anything by
Lady Gaga or Britney and I'd be in it in a second," Lauer said.
Nelson agrees.
"I'm seriously her biggest fan," he said, revealing a tattoo of the word "toxic" on the inside of his right forearm to prove it.
The boys enjoy their new fame, and make it a point to stay connected with fans through social media outlets. They all said they're surprised by the amount of international responses they've received, including multiple messages and Facebook friend requests from fans in Turkey, Russia and Colombia.
"It's fun to see fans email us in their broken English." Nelson said.
"California Gays" will begin shoot ing on June 26.

Plans for the Bowersock Dam expansion include a canoe portage and a fishing deck for outdoor recreation. The project, which is set to begin before the end of the year, will also triple the amount of renewable energy produced by the hydroelectric power plant.

Construction on the Bowersock Mills and Power Company's new hydroelectric plant could begin before the end of this year, which would expand recreational opportunities for boaters and fishers and triple the amount of clean, renewable energy that the plant produces.
"We're excited because we're going to have a safer place to recreate," said Bowersock owner Sarah Hill-Nelson.
Bowersock currently sits at the southeast end of the Massachusetts Street Bridge. The plant's new addition, the North Plant Project, will sit at the northeast end of the Massachusetts Street Bridge and will probably be one of the first things visible when driving into town, Nathan Walker, a representative for Bowersock, said.
The architectural renderings, created by Sabatini Architects, depict a new fishing dock that could to hold up to 12 people as well as a new canoe portage, Walker said.
The new canoe put-in will be a safe distance from the hydroelectric plant, and signs will be posted to alert boats to prepare to exit the river, Walker said.
Long-time Lawrence resident and KU alumnus David Brewer said he was pleased to hear about the planned improvements.
"The more river access we have — paddlers and whoever — the better we are," Brewer, also an avid kayaker, said.
A number of Lawrence groups were consulted in the planning process, including Friends of the Kaw, which helped give an idea of what to expect and how to create safe and lasting access to the river, Hill-Nelson said.
"This will be a good improvement for them. We're happy for them and we're happy that there's going to be better portage. Right now it's not very safe," said Laura Calwell, Kansas River keeper and Friends of the Kaw employee. Friends of the Kaw is a group with the main objective of protecting and preserving the Kansas River, Calwell said.
Bowersock's dam has been around for more than 100 years, providing power and holding back water.
One river access point is about a mile west of the Massachusetts Street bridge and another is a half of a mile east of the Bridge, Calwell said. With the North Plant Project, if a boater floats too far down the river, they'll have a safer place to get out before
reaching the dam.
"It will be nice to have a portage so close to here," Hilary Janney, a senior from Lawrence and Sunflower Outdoor and Bike employee, said. "There are other places to dock but they're not necessarily nice or easy to access."
Janney said getting in and out of the water near the dam was doable but not safe or smooth.
The plans for the new plant include a safer fishing area, she said.
Hill-Nelson said Bowersock's North Plant Project will be a good addition for fishermen because so many people have gone out on the dam to fish areas that are not safe for fishing. She said a new painted warning sign has improved the situation, but not eliminated the problem.
Bowersock's existing plant creates enough energy to power about 1,800 homes and, with the addition of the North Plant, Bowersock will be producing enough energy to power nearly 6,000 homes. Hill-Nelson said.
More information will be available regarding progress of the project after August 1, when the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission completes its environmental assessment, Walker said.
The project will cost roughly $20 million, including the design, permit, building and start-up, Walker said.

Gaining confidence inside the ring
Female boxer's roots on Indian reservation motivate her success
BY CARLO RAMIREZ cramirez@kansan.com
Mioshia Wagoner throws a hard right and then a left, stares down at her feet and does it again. She meticulously analyzes her footwork, tirelessly repeating the sequence. Sweat pours off her brow into the mat, but she doesn't seem to notice. She's trying to perfect her footwork in order to throw a punch worthy of an Olympic gold medal.
To accomplish her goals — boxing on the first women's Olympic boxing team in 2012 and becoming one of the best Native-American athletes to come out of Haskell Indian Nations University — Wagoner's footwork will have to be flawless. To reach both goals, Wagoner, 27, will have to work harder than
she has ever worked before.
"Billy Mills, John Levi, Charles Baster," Wagoner said. "They all did something. I want to be part of the Native American Hall of Fame. It's a really big honor."
Wagoner, who started boxing two years ago, is on her way to accomplishing just that. In 2008, Wagoner — better known as "Yosh" — was a national champion and represented Team USA in the World Championships in China.
She is currently training for boxing nationals in July.
Yosh, a member of the Navajo and Chickasaw nations, left her home on an Indian reservation in New Mexico to become the first in her family to finish college. She graduated from Haskell with a degree in American Indian studies and is now pursuing a master's degree in conflict management and dispute resolution at Baker University.
Yosh's success in the ring has earned her the respect from her peers and given younger female fighters someone to look up to. Many boxers say they identify with Yosh, the first female professional boxer to come out of
"She motivates me to keep going," Chavez said. "The coaches guide me, but Yosh helps me feel confident about everything and helps me bring it all together."
Marisa Chavez, a junior at Lawrence High School and aspiring boxer, said she saw Yosh as an inspiration.
Confidence was initially hard to come by for Yosh. When she first stepped into Haskell's boxing gym she couldn't tell the difference between a south paws stance and righty stance, the two stances of boxing. What she lacked in confidence she made up for in drive.
Haskell's gym.
Even though Yosh couldn't see it at the time, Haskell head boxing coach Erick Riley, a former professional boxer, knew she had something special the first time he felt her punch.
"One day we were sparring back and forth," Riley said. "Then she caught me with a punch that sent me back a few steps into the wall. That's when I knew."
Yosh's trainer, Haskell Boxing Club assistant coach Darren Jacobs, said he also knew early that Yosh had the potential to become
Well beyond the point of self-doubt, Yosh has stood toe-to-toe with the best female boxers the world has to offer and knows she is no fluke. She describes her mentality in the ring as fearless and determined.

University Daily Kansan moves down the hill
Newroom
The University Daily Kansan newsroom, 111 Stauffer-Flint Hall, is moving this week to the Dole Human Development Center on Sunnyside Avenue. The Kansan will merge its newsroom with KUHJ-TV, the campus TV station, which will become Kansan TV.

The University Daily Kansan will move its newsroom from StaufferFlint Hall to room 2000 of the Dole Human Development Center on Sunnyside Avenue today. The Kansan will share a newsroom with the campus TV station KUJH, which will become Kansan TV.
Kansan editor-in-chief Brianne Pfannenstiel said the move, which was put in place by the School of Journalism, will require a lot of

adjustment from Kansan and KUJH staff.
"This move is something that's going to be difficult for a lot of people for a lot of different reasons," said Pfannenstiel, a senior from Lawrence. "But in the end it's something we need to do to bring together all our resources. We can't be one newsroom with one product until we're all in the same place."
Malcolm Gibson, general manager and news advisor, said the move has been in the works for a long time.
MALCOLM GIBSON Kansan general manager and news adviser
"Ultimately, the goal was to bring
all of the newsrooms together," Gibson said. "In the end it is just easier for us to move than it is for KUJH to move."
KUJH recently made the switch from being faculty-run to student-run. The Kansan, which has always been an independent student organization, will begin to incorporate
KUJH's news casts into its daily operation.
Gibson is making the move along with Sales and Marketing advisor Jon Schlitt. The Kansan's business, production and advertising
offices are also relocating to Dole.
Gibson said although Stauffer-Flint held sentimental value, the move was a good thing. Having KUJH and The Kansan in the same building will allow the students to create a more cohesive product, he said.
"I'm excited about uniting the print side and the video side," said copy chief Sarah Kelly, a senior from Lawrence. "The Kansan will be a better publication because of this move, but the old newsroom was home."
Leita Walker, spring 2002 Kansan editor-in-chief, said Stauffer-Flint would always be a place for journalism students.
"The multimedia center in Dole was just starting as I was graduating,
but I think that this is probably a good thing for The Kansan," Walker said.
Though it isn't a far move, Kansan staffers will have to adjust to being farther away from Stauffer-Fint.

While cleaning out our second home — some would call it the Kansan newsroom — we stumbled upon a few buried treasures. Relics of a campus divided by war and civil unrest, advertisements for 15-cent hamburgers and documentation of more than one national championship were tucked away in our editor's office.
From The Kansan newsroom, we've witnessed, photographed and written about decades of change here on Jayhawk Boulevard. As our slogan touts, we've proudly been the student voice since 1904, and that's a legacy we plan to continue from our new digs in Dole.
As we produce our last issue from inside the walls of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communication here in Stauffer, we leave you with remnants of the daily lives of KU students through the words and photos of generations of student journalists.

College students cost Kansas $650,000 to count in census
BY COREY THIBODEAUX
ctibodeaux@kansan.com
www.twitter.com/c_thibodeaux
At the cost of $650,000, Kansas is the only state counting students for the census.
According to the state constitution, students in public and private colleges in the state must be counted. Those students are accounted for in their native districts no matter where they are going to class.
Abbie Hodgson, a spokeswoman for the Secretary of State's office, said the office had received many complaints about spending tax-payer money on the census, but that the state legislature was in charge.
"The fact of the matter is we are required to do it by law," Hodgson said. "Therefore we do it."
The reasoning behind the procedure, Hodgson said, is because western Kansas is lightly populated compared to the east. If students said they were Lawrence residents, but
actually lived in Dodge City, for example, it could skew the results of the first and third districts.
The first district covers most of western and central Kansas, which accounts for 69 counties.
"If they didn't take that into account, they're missing a huge chunk of the people who actually live here."
The University required students to

Mantyla, a senior

"Kansas has always been weird with how they do taxes," he said. "If it works, then that's how they should do it."
SURVEY
Americans still upbeat but less so than in past
BY RANDOLPH E. SCHMID
Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Americans remain a generally upbeat lot, but all the skepticism, snark and dismal rhetoric being bandied about may be taking their toll.
Nearly two-thirds of people answering a Pew Research Center for the People and the Press/ Smithsonian Magazine poll said they are optimistic about their future and that of the country — and a majority expect the economy to be strong in the future.
But while it's still a positive picture,it's much less so than a just over a decade earlier.
Some 64 percent of those polled said they are optimistic about their future, for example, but that's down from 81 percent in a similar poll in 1999.
At the same time, the proportion optimistic about the nation's
future slipped from 70 percent to 61 percent, and those expecting a stronger economy fell from 64 percent to 56 percent.
The poll was conducted by telephone, with 1,546 adults polled from April 21-26. The margin of error is plus or minus 3 percentage points.
If the changing attitude is the downside, Americans see quite a lot to look forward to when asked about the next 40 years.
For example, 71 percent expect cancer will be cured by 2050, 66 percent expect artificial limbs to be working better than real ones and 53 percent say ordinary people will travel in space.
But the message remains mixed, with 72 percent expecting a major energy crisis, 58 percent saying there is likely to be another world war and 53 percent anticipating a terrorist attack on the U.S. involving nuclear weapons.

'Memphis' garners Tony Award for KU graduate
BY RICHELLE BUSER
rbuser@kansan.com
Randy Adams, a musical producer and University alumnus, earned a Tony Award for his work as a producer on the Broadway musical "Memphis" on June 13.
"We were just thrilled to be nominated, especially since there were 10 new musicals this year," Adams said. "It was all pretty surreal."
"Memphis," a rock-and-roll story about crossing racial boundaries through music in 1950s Tennessee, was nominated for eight Tony Awards and won four, including Best New Musical, Best Score, Best Book and Best Orchestrations. Adams accepted the award for Best New Musical on behalf of the cast and crew.
Adams earned his master's degree in directing from the University in 1980. During his time at the University, Adams worked as a house and box office manager at the University's theatre department. He was also an actor in the show "Poor Murderer" and directed "The Little
Foxes" as part of his master's program at the University. After graduation, Adams worked throughout the country developing more than 200 musicals. In 2006, he began junkyard Dog Productions, which works to develop and produce new musicals. Adams said "Memphis" had been in development since 2002 and gradually improved after multiple revisions.
"There's the whole process of pulling it together and watching the growth as the writers and creative team work along the way, and each time it just keeps getting better. We went through four developments before we got here, and made even more changes during the previews for Broadway. It's a great collaborative process." Adams said.
Charla Jenkins, director of public relations at the University's theater department, said Adams has remained a strong supporter of the University throughout his years of musical success. Jenkins said Adams was always willing to lend a helping hand to students leaving Kansas with
the hopes of making it big in New York City.
"He is incredibly supportive and is always willing to talk with students," Jenkins said. "He'll even take them to lunch."
Adams serves on the Department of Theatre's Professional Advisory Board. Junkyard Dog Productions partner Sue Frost said Adams' willingness to give back to those breaking into the business was a strong commonality they share.
"Randy is probably the most positive human being I've ever worked with," Frost said. "He just has a real joy for what he does. He's great with writers, great with staff, great with investors, you name it. And he's very generous. We both feel strongly that there's a responsibility to give back to others."
Adams said he planned to take a break before beginning his next musical venture, but was excited about future projects.
"You just never know who you're going to meet or what may happen next," Adams said.

US Airways plane hits another at airport
WARWICK, R.I. — A US Airways plane carrying 36 people struck an empty one on the ground at T.F. Green Airport in Rhode Island, slightly damaging both aircraft but injuring no one, officials said Tuesday.
US Airways Express Flight 3315, an Embraer 175 regional jet bound for Philadelphia and operated by Republic Airlines, was being pushed away from a gate by an airline employee when it hit the empty, stationary US Airways Flight 815, an Airbus A321 jet bound for Charlotte, N.C., airport spokeswoman Patti Goldstein said.
"The employee that was pushing the aircraft pushed it too closely to an aircraft that was parked at the next gate," she said. "It was a mishap."

Farmers'Market offers more than fruits and veggies

Vendors hope new evening hours will attract more students
BY SHANNA LARSON slarson@kansan.com
While some students are trying to sleep off the effects of Friday night drinking. Chelsea Harris is waking up early to do her weekly shopping at the downtown Farmers' Market.
"I can eat breakfast while I shop and get some fresh air." Harris, a junior from Wichita, said. "I think it's way better than lying in bed all day."
The downtown Farmers' Market has two locations and is held three times a week from the last Saturday in April to the second Saturday in November. More than 90 vendors provide locally grown and handmade goods.
"We've got a variety of goods from vegetables. to homemade body lotion and soap, to barbecue sauce and mint limeade," Debi Taylor, owner of Rangeland Herbs, said.
The vendors set up every Saturday, Tuesday, and Thursday so their customers can find a time to come that fits their schedule.
"If I'm going to be out of town on Saturday, I can always go on Tuesday or Thursday nights," said Harris, "It's really about as convenient as a grocery store except everything is fresh."
Some vendors see regular customers from the community every week, but are looking for ways for more college students to
gain interest.
"If more college students came they would find there is so much more to choose from here, things
they won't find at the store," said Linda Hoffman, owner of Linda's Sweet Delights.
One vendor said that not only is there more to choose from, but the quality and freshness of the vendors'
grocery stores are harvested before they are ripe," said Val Littlejohn, owner of Littlejohn Sherwood Farm. "They don't hand pick things

Harris said most college students think there are only fruits and vegetables at the Farmers'
"There are so many things they can find there like fresh cut
flowers, treats for their dogs, fruit and vegetables that you can't find in stores, and even eggs and meat," Harris said.
The vendors at the Farmers' Market have an advantage that other farmers who sell their products to grocery stores don't have.
"We can control what we put out there for the public to buy," Littlejohn said. "I don't put it out unless I would give it to my family, and I want my family to have the best."

Students connect to stay entertained
BY ALISON CUMBOW alisonc@kansan.com
Samantha Reinblatt joined a Facebook group so she could keep herself busy this summer, when fewer of her friends and other students are in town.
The group, called Lawrence Summer 2010, was created to keep students who are staying in Lawrence in the loop about fun events. Members of the Lawrence Summer 2010 group can invite the other 200 members, who they might not have previously
who would be in Lawrence this summer.

THOMAS SINN
Lawrence Summer 2010 creator
"I'm surprised to find out how many fun activities go on during the summer in this college town," Reinblatt, a graduate secretary for the mathematics department and a 2006 graduate from Montreal, said. "I'm involved in tango, belly dancing, piano, summer barbecues and potluck dinners, camping and concerts."
The group's creator, Thomas Sinn, a senior from Stuttgart, Germany, wrote on the information page that he made the group to find out
the more people, the more events we know of"
Research findings from a 2009 study by Sam Gosling, a professor of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin, suggest that social networking sites such as Facebook are just the
newest medium for social interaction.
Reinblatt said the reason there are fun activities around town is because the University caters to so many people from different cultural backgrounds and that going to the events is a great way to meet new people.
Sinn wrote that he wanted to make this summer a great one.
BUSINESS OF FACEBOOK
Local businesses are also employing the same idea when it comes to social media this summer.
"We have a Facebook page, which is pretty much the quintessential," Rob Schulte, marketing manager at The Granada, said. "Last week, I put an announcement up on our Facebook page, and within minutes, 25 people had commented back."
Schulte said a lot of The Granada's business came from handbills, but social media helped people to come in, also — its Facebook page has 2,734 followers.
"I would say slowly over the past year, that social media has really been helping our business," he said.
Schulte said Facebook began helping business the most when it made changes to its news feed and he could gear events toward specific interests.
Brady Lewis, a bartender at Dempsey's, said Facebook had allowed the bar to let people know about its new chef coming in July.
Dempsey's also uses Twitter to let people know about its beer specials. On Friday, June 18, the bar opened at 9 a.m. and tweeted that it would be selling Budweiser bottles for $1.
"We had 25 people drinking, and I don't know if they would have been in otherwise," Lewis said.

Wrestler's widow sues U.S. Senate candidate
HARTFORD, Conn. — The widow of a World Wrestling Entertainment performer who died in a 1999 stunt says she's suing the Connecticut-based company and its leaders, including Republican U.S. Senate candidate Linda McMahon.
Martha Hart said McMahon, who stepped down as WWE chief executive to run for Senate, and her husband, Vince, the current chairman, have continued to use Owen Hart's image to promote the
business despite agreeing to stop after his death.
Hart planned to file her lawsuit Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Hartford.
Owen Hart died when he fell 78 feet from a harness as it lowered him into a wrestling ring in Kansas City, Mo., on May 23,1999. He was 34.
His family sued the WWE and several other defendants in the death. Martha Hart agreed to a $18 million settlement with the WWE in 2000.

Rally supports crisis intervention services
LAWRENCE
BY MEGAN RUPP
mrupp@kansan.com
To benefit the free services offered at Headquarters Counseling Center, Alex O'Donnell joined more than 60 other participants in the Life Support Rally on Saturday.
"I decided to walk today because my grandmother, who's a Headquarters volunteer, mentioned it to me because my uncle committed suicide about seven years ago," O'Donnell, a junior from Atlanta, said. "So we're walking in reflection of him."
Participants had the option of walking a route for two to six miles or biking six to 50 miles. For $25, participants went their separate ways in a mass start from Sunflower Elementary
School, 2521 Inverness Drive.
The funds collected in previous years have contributed to the 40 years of free services, including suicide prevention, children's safety and crisis response programs. But the proceeds earned
at this year's Life Support Rally amounted to less than from past fundraisers.
"We had to be a lot more low-key this year because the center is so busy, so we
help is available makes it worth it," said Headquarters Director Marcia Epstein.

The cost of keeping a conference together
BIG 12 BREAKDOWN
Kansas, Texas give different accounts when it comes to revenue
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
University of Texas president William Powers Jr. had a press conference the day before Lew Perkins held one last week. Both discussed conference realignment. Problem was, they said different things. Texas administrators and the Texas athletics department have not returned multiple messages left by The Kansan regarding the discrepancies. Kansas athletic director Jim Marchiony assured The Kansan that the deal guaranteeing Texas, Oklahoma and Texas A&M that they would hit a certain number in revenue (believed to be $20 million) was a reality.
KANSAS SAID...
"Those three schools, which we think are going to be able to do it on their own because we think we'll be able to do it on our own, but what we're saying to them is, 'If you don't make it on your own, out of our bundles, our basket, we will be willing to share with you some money that we earned.' "
Lew Perkins, Kansas athletic director
"We all signed an agreement that we'll be here 10 years."
- Perkins
TEXAS SAID...
Texas President William Powers, Jr.
"We do not have any guarantees from the league or our northern partners. There have been reports that there's going to be a special deal for some of us using penalty money or other money to guarantee Texas and possibly other schools particular value. We were not part of that. We have heard about that. We're not part of it. That was not part of our consideration and we oppose that kind of deal."
- Powers
There is a tremendous amount of trust among the presidents of these institutions and we all agreed that public, unequivocal statements of long-term commitment to the Big 12 was all of the protection that we needed."
WHERE DOES TEXAS' MONEY COME FROM?
Should the Longhorns earn the revenue that was guaranteed to them by the Pac-10, then no other schools owe them a dime.
Option 1: Self-generated revenue
Option 2: Kansas, Kansas State, Baylor, Iowa State, Missouri
Should the Longhorns not earn the revenue that was guaranteed them by the Pac-10, the five schools that would have been most hurt by their defection promised Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe that they would pool their resources and get their competition to the promised mark.
FROM THE MOUTHS OF STUDENTS...
I think its inevitable for people to be pissed off about the money they're getting because of how strong those Big 12 South teams are for basketball and football, but I'm happy it all gets to stay together."
Caleb Newberg, sophomore from Overland Park
"Yes, it's easy to say Texas holds the cards because of their huge TV following in football, but that shouldn't mean they have all the power when it comes to the conference staying together. What the Big 12 - or as I call it now, the Texas Ten - has done is put the athlete before the student and made it about competing for airtime rather than a trophy."
Adam Newman, senior from Prairie Village
"The thing that bugs me the most about it was how this has just been strictly based on money. Not education, or scholarships or anything like that. These are college athletes and these are also students. And that's just a small part of the student population."
— Kevin Meyer, senior from Lenexa
COMMENTARY
Football is king in conference alignment
Ashley H. Moynihan
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
All that mattered was Texas football. By a bizarre twist of fate - fate's not the right word; it was more by a bizarre twist of the economy - the future of Kansas' storied basketball program lay in the hands of decision makers at the University of Texas because Texas football, to put the situation in the simplest terms possible, is worth millions upon millions of dollars in revenue more than Kansas basketball.
It didn't matter that Kansas had won more basketball games than all but two programs in the history of the sport. It didn't matter that the school had been the home of James Naismith, Phog Allen, Wilt Chamberlain and Danny Manning.
It's not that the traditions of either outweigh the other, but with the absurd television revenue from football driving realignment talks, the Jayhawks were on the verge of being left in the cold. Take, for example, the football revenue against the basketball revenue from the Southeastern Conference, which tried to lure Texas A&M, Oklahoma and Texas, and was rumored to have some contact with Kansas. In the SEC, football made $150.5 million in 2008, in contrast to the just $58.5 million that basketball brought in for the league.

MEN'S BASKETBALL
Managers follow team faithfully
BY CARLO RAMIREZ
cramirez@kansan.com
Each year, a batch of KU students spend their summer auditioning to become a men's basketball manager.
Bill Self Basketball Camp is the largest collegiate basketball camp in the country and hosts kids of all ages on campus for two weeks. It is during these camps that aspiring managers are assessed by coaches, staff and current managers to determine whether they have what it takes to become a Kansas basketball manager.
"You aren't just auditioning for a job," said head basketball manager Sean Mulhern, a senior from San Francisco. "You are being handed the keys to everything and entering a close-knit family that is KU basketball."
About 40 students auditioned this summer, but the staff is narrowed down to three spots. This leaves many students returning to school
with no job. Still, it is very common for students to audition two or even three times before being hired as student managers. Mulhern was denied two summers in a row before being asked to become a student manager.
Sean Gutting, a former student from Fort Collins, Colo., said his main reason for attending the University was to become a men's basketball manager. After he was denied in both 2007 and 2008, he transferred to Colorado State, where he is now the men's basketball team manager.
Gutting said he pursued managing in order to become a coach. He the experience of traveling and practicing with the team was invaluable and that many top Division I coaches had connections across the country.
"I saw managing at Division I university as an internship," Gutting said. "My hope is to do my job well enough and hopefully impress the
coaches enough to be placed somewhere after I graduate"
Brendan Riley, who was a manager from 2006 to 2009, was placed as a graduate assistant for the Illinois State men's basketball team — a job that is usually reserved for former players. In exchange for serving on staff for the men's team, his graduate school is also paid for. It is an opportunity like this one that keep current managers determined to work hard.
Managing is a full-time job and requires the staff to be just as perfect, if not more so, than the players. They serve as the puppet masters who help practice and game days run smoothly.
During Bill Self Camps aspiring managers are asked to perform tasks that other jobs may view as non- traditional, such as picking up players, staff and other guests at the airport at all hours of the night. Any Kansas manager will say it just comes with the territory.
"When the men's team gets back into Lawrence at 3:30 a.m., we have to be there," Mulhern said. "It is a round-the-clock job."
ability to deal with situations on the fly, their work ethic, how they handle constructive criticism and how well they follow directions.
Each manager is asked to attend individual training practices as well as team scrimmages. They are in charge of tallying and yelling out the score each time the players run down the floor. During individual workouts, managers are in charge of passing, and rebounding for the players. Managers must be just as mentally tough as the players. If players mess up in practice and get yelled at, the same is true for managers who make a mistake.
" You can't be scared to look like a nerd or anything," Mulhern said. "You gotta know it's not about you, we are asking them to do these task for a reason, not to make them look dumb."
Managing for one of the most historic college basketball programs in the nation asks all involved- players, coaches and managers to put in 110 percent.

COLUMN (CONTINUED FROM 19)
It's no mistake the SEC is making bundles of cash in football, though. Thanks to some brilliant maneuvering by commissioner Mike Slive, the league negotiated a television deal worth almost 3.5 times more than the Big 12's eight-year, $480 million deal that had been signed just two years earlier.
It was that, the Big Ten Network, which has seen remarkable success as the only league-specific television network after initial skepticism, and the imminent restructuring of the Pac-10's television deal that led to the panic of conference realignment. There were greener pastures in every conference from the SEC to even the ACC, which negotiated a multibillion dollar television deal of its own in 2009.
Those football television deals, coupled with money from the BCS — which trickles down exclusively to conferences, unlike the money from the NCAA Tournament in basketball — meant that football was king in realignment.
"The thing that bugs me the most about it was how this has just been strictly based on money. Not education or scholarships or anything like that," said Kevin Meyer, a senior from Lenexa. "These are college athletes and they are also students. And that's just a small part of the student population."
But those television deals also wound up being the Jayhawks' savior. Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe, with the conference's cable deal coming up for restructuring next year (though the network package is still locked down through 2016), assured Texas and the other schools considering defection that they'd receive equal money in the new deal.
Kansas and the other four schools that were under threat of being left behind, took matters into their own hands. Kansas, Kansas State, Baylor, Iowa State and Missouri pledged to Beebe that, should Texas, Oklahoma or Texas A&M not reach the money guaranteed them by other conferences, the left-behind five would pool together and make up the difference between promised and actual revenue.
But if the realignment beast rears its head once more, the same issues could wreck the Jayhawks. Basketball may be king at Kansas, but football is king in realignment. And the Jayhawks could just get left behind.

World Cup unrest closes university
DHAKA, Bangladesh — A top public university in Bangladesh closed indefinitely after students clashed over whether to cancel classes to watch the World Cup.
Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology asked students to leave dormitories by Sunday to calm the situation, said Habibur Rahman. pro-vice chancellor of the university in the capital.
The decision was made Saturday after at least five students were injured in violence between two groups of students.
Earlier this month, hundreds of angry football fans smashed vehicles in Dhaka after power outages interrupted live TV broadcasts of a World Cup match between Argentina and Nigeria.
Football is the most popular sport in Bangladesh even though the South Asian nation has never qualified for any major international tournament.

MEN'S BASKETBALL
Chalmers makes cameo at camp
BY ALISON CUMBOW
alisonc@kansan.com
There were 400 young campers on one side and 400 KU students, alumni and basketball fans on the other on June 17. The stadium inside the Horejsi Family Athletics Center was alive with anticipation as spectators waited to see which basketball alumni would be making an appearance. Coach Bill Self teased the audience with an anecdote about players who had an "it" moment — including one of the University's own — and with that, the 800 fans started chanting his name.
“Mar-i-o!” “Mar-i-o!” “Mario!”
“Mario!”
They applauded, cheered and smiled with pride at the man who helped their dreams come true with his "it" moment in 2008 — a 3-point shot that sent the championship game into overtime. Chalmers waved to the crowd with a smile across his face.
Bill Self's basketball camp was a two-week long camp for children to practice their skills. On Wednesdays of both weeks, KU basketball alumni challenged current KU players in games that ended when one of the
teams reached 65 points.
Alumni were in crimson pennies and current players wore blue pennies, racing from one side of the court to the other in a whirl of Jayhawk colors. Their sneakers against the court were barely noticeable amidst the campers' screaming and chanting of Mario's name through much of the first half.
"It's good for the campers," Chalmers said while standing next to a mural of himself shooting the 3-pointer against Memphis. He said that he didn't feel it was any different playing now than before.
Andrew Wingreen, a basketball coach at the camp, said the kids didn't know who would show up to play at the game.
"I definitely think that it's something that they can come to and enjoy," said Winegreen, who also works for Wayne Simien's Call to Greatness ministry and basketball camp. "They like seeing the players, you know, especially the alumni."
The current players beat the alumni team 65-45. Chalmers scored 15 points and Keith Langford scored 9. Current Jayhawks Marcus Morris and Conner Teahan each scored 11 points.

NBA
Hard to get ahead in this draft
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The 6-foot-11 Samhan averaged 30.5 points and 9.5 rebounds in victories over Richmond and Villanova in college basketball's marquee event, but is finding NBA executives and scouts much more difficult to charm.
MINNEAPOLIS Omar Samhan's throwback drop-steps in the post and new-age candor with the media made him one of the stars of the NCAA tournament.
Most mock drafts forecast that Samhan will not be drafted on Thursday.
"The politically correct answer would be, 'Oh you know, it happens, that's the way it is.'" Samhan said after a workout with the Minnesota Timberwolves this month. "I think it's crap, to be blunt with you. I feel like I do a lot for my team, for my school and still just don't get a lot of credit, a lot of love."
The outspoken center captivated fans with his skills on the court and drew belly laughs in the press room with sharp one-liners while leading St. Mary's to the sweet 16 for the first time in more than 50 years.
Don't worry, Omar. You're not

alone.
College stars like Villanova All-American Scottie Reynolds, KU point guard Sherron Collins and Notre Dame forward Luke Harangy are deemed second-round picks at best. Xavier's Jordan Crawford may fall out of the first round, even after averaging 29 points in their run to the Sweet 16.
"You can look at it like, 'What more do you want me to do?' said Crawford, who left after his sophomore season. "But you still have to come out here and show what you can do and that you're worth a first-round pick."
Many of college basketball's best have used the postseason to increase their draft stock. Jonny Flynn's performance in Syracuse's epic six overtime win over Connecticut in the Big East tournament in 2009 helped propel him up the draft board, where the Timberwolves took him at No.6.
Butler's Gordon Hayward lifted himself into lottery consideration this year after leading the Bulldogs on an improbable run to the NCAA title game.
But there are plenty of decorated players drawing yawns this year.
The best thing these players can do, says NBA scouting director Ryan Blake, is criscross the country, working out with as many teams as possible in hopes someone will give them a chance in the draft or on a summer league team.

Confirmation hearings tell tale of two Kagans
WASHINGTON — Elena Kagan strode into day 1 of her confirmation hearing for the Supreme Court with a broad grin and a bounce in her step.She emerged nearly four hours later with her smile intact and bearhugs aplenty for family and friends.
In between, Kagan sat stonefaced, barely even blinking, before the Judiciary Committee and heard a Republican rundown of everything that's wrong with her.
Those GOP digs were interspersed with effusive praise from Democrats for whom she could do no wrong.
To those hearty souls who tuned in to C-SPAN on Monday it must have sounded like a tale of two Kagans.
judicial heroes. Utah's Orrin Hatch wondered aloud if she would be controlled by the Constitution or try to control it.
Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, the ranking Republican on the panel, previewed the GOP lines of attack — reaching all the way back to her college thesis on socialism, which he said "seems to bemoan socialism's demise." Iowa's Chuck Grassley said she'd been a "political lawyer" Arizona's Jon Kyl complained about her choice of
For every GOP thrust, there was a Democratic parry.
Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy of Vermont called her legal credentials "unassailable." California's Dianne Feinstein called her lack of experience as a judge "refreshing." Sen. Russell Feingold of Wisconsin spoke of her "thoughtfulness and openness." Sen. Charles Schumer said her "brilliant" record was clear and complete, declaring: "The only thing as far as
I can tell that we don't have is her kindergarten report card."
When at last Kagan got her own chance to talk, after all the senators had had their say, she spoke carefully, deliberately — almost in slow motion — fingers on the witness table before her. There was no reference to the thrashing she'd taken from the Republicans. Just sentimental recollections of her upbringing and pledges of fealty to fairness and to the law.
Back-and-forth with the senators would have to wait one more day.

Seafood costs prone to rise after oil spill
BY COREY THIBODEAUX
cthibodeaux@kansan.com
twitter.com/c_thibodeaux
The effects of the oil spill will soon make their way to other parts of the country, potentially increasing seafood prices.
Brian Phillips, meat and seafood department manager at the Community Mercantile, 901 Iowa St., said the United States only gets about two to four percent of seafood from the Gulf of Mexico. But the oil spill is the beginning of one long ripple effect.
Lawrence seafood retailers said they didn't seen ill effects so far, but knew they could have trouble obtaining resources.
"As far as seafood in the United States goes, it's in an OK place, I guess," Phillips said. "The worst part about where it is that it's destroying the bottom part of the food chain, which moves its way up very rapidly."
The Merc only buys one product from the gulf: farm-raised crawfish around Mardi Gras season. About 65 percent of its food is imported, the majority from Alaska.
According to the Monterey Bay Aquarium Foundation, the spill will affect wild shrimp and snappers from the Gulf of Mexico and the South Atlantic, wild Eastern oysters, groupers, and U.S. farmed oysters and shrimp.
According to the Ocala Star Banner in Ocala, Florida, gulf shrimp prices have shot up by 50 percent while oyster prices have increased by 33 percent.
Many companies in the gulf, including small, family businesses, have faced hardship because of the oil spill.
Ted Nguyen, general manager and co-owner of Angler's Seafood House, said he expected businesses around
the country to experience the same problems if the spill wasn't contained soon.
"It's almost out of sight and out of mind for us here," Nguyen said. "The only time the consumers here in Lawrence are going to feel it is in their pocketbook."
The seafood industry is in prime harvesting season right now, and the supply is still intact, Nguyen said. Once the demand outweighs the supply, naturally prices are going to go up.
"Now people are more aware of the spill," Nguyen said, "But they're not as aware of what's going to happen to the supply simply because there's still a supply."
With the gulf in its present condition, marine wildlife is pushed into a smaller area, giving predators a greater concentration of prey. Ngyuen said this would eventually contribute to a diminished supply.
"It's like if they took us all in Lawrence and crammed us on Mass. Street," Ngyuen said. "It's unnatural balance."
KU Dining Services hasn't finished its menu for the fall, and assistant director of retail dining Alecia Stultz said she wasn't sure how seafood supply would be affected next semester.
"Since we're not ordering the product and don't exactly know what we're going to be using, we can adapt our menus accordingly and get what we need from other sources," Stultz said.
Nguyen said the whole situation was frustrating because the use of oil, among other resources, caused this mess. The costs, he said, have far outweighed the benefits.
"Whoever is to blame is to blame" he said. "But we're all going to suffer because of it."
To read a break down about the BP oil spill, see Richelle Buser's story on PAGE 6.
Brian
Brian Phillips, meat and seafood department manager at the Community Mercantile, 901 Iowa St., says his inventory has seen little effect from the oil spill in the gulf. Although the United States seafood industry only depends on the effected region for two to four percent of its seafood, many local retailers know the disaster could cause problems for them in the future.

What do you think should be done about the oil spill in the gulf?
PETER E. LOVE
NATHAN BOEHR
Senior
"I think the government probably shouldn't have to worry about it. I think BP should take care of it themselves. It'd be nice if there was extra money for the government to help out, but overall I think BP should take care of it."
TIM HARRISON
MARGAUX DEROUX Graduate student
"I'm Alaskan, so we've had oil spill experience. I think we need to be devoting conscious effort to repair the damage that's been done and to think critically about the system and patterns that contributed to the situation in the first place. As a nation we need to reduce our dependency upon oil and allow ourselves to consider renewable energy sources as valid options."
PAPER CLIP
JOSH ROCHA Sophomore
"I don't really have a strong opinion one way or the other. They should probably be doing the best they can to regulate and keep the overall chaos level under control and keep people from overreacting.Well, not overreacting, because it is a big deal, but just keep things calm.Do everything they can to clean up and fix it."

Camo-wearing bowhunters marry in tree in Iowa
ANAMOSA, Iowa — An Iowa couple whose passion for bowhunting encouraged Cupid's arrow to strike wore camouflage to blend in with the wooded backdrop at their treetop wedding.
Forty-two year-old Kim Silver dressed in a silk gown made by camouflage specialists Mossy Oak, and her 61-year-old groom, Marvin Hunter, was dressed in camo shirt and pants at the Saturday nuptials.
They said their vows atop a tree stand hunting platform at the Anamosa Bowhunters Archery Club in the state's northeast. The bride and groom occasionally punctuated the ceremony by firing arrows at targets.
Hunter said the couple had always joked about getting married on a tree stand. Silver said the pair they hunt together so much that the camo wedding "just seemed like the right thing to do."
Mountain lion decides to play at Mont. golf course
BOZEMAN, Mont. — Golfers at a western Montana golf course faced a hazard with real teeth — and claws — when a mountain lion decided to play through. Golfers said they spotted the elusive predator while teeing off at Valley View Golf Club Friday morning in Bozeman.
Bozeman animal control officer Kathy Middleton said the lion was first sighted near Aspen Pointe senior living center before other callers later saw it at the golf course
Joe Knarr with Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks said the agency has been receiving calls about lions all through the south of town. He said mountain lions sightings are common in the area, though there have been more reports this year than previous years.
Middleton said the lion spotted Friday most likely was just passing through.
Double diplomas: two NY schools, 19 sets of twins
BALDWINSVILLE, N.Y. — People attending graduation ceremonies at a pair of upstate New York high schools couldn't be blamed for thinking they were seeing double.
Twelve sets of twins graduated from Baker High School in Baldwinsville on Sunday, the same day seven sets of twins received their diplomas during ceremonies at nearby Jamesville-DeWitt High School in the Syracuse area.
Representatives from Guinness World Records say Baker High's graduating class with 12 sets of twins breaks the previous record of 10, set by a Massachusetts high school in 2007.
Principal Joseph DeBarbieri, himself a twin, says four of his school's 12 sets of twins plan to attend the same college as their sibling.

Past and present: The BP Gulf oil spill
BY RICHELLE BUSER | rbuser@kansan.com
So, what exactly happened?
On April 20, British Petroleum drilled a new well in the Gulf Coast. Natural gas and oil escaped from the well, causing the drilling platform to become damaged and explode. As a result, the drilling platform sank and pulled a pipe from the well down with it. That pipe is now leaking at multiple locations on the ocean floor, particularly near Louisiana.
What is BP doing about it?
To read about the oil spill's effect on the seafood market, see Corey Thibodeaux's story on PAGE 3.
BP's website said on Mon., June 28 that the company was using two systems to extract oil from affected areas. To date, BP has managed to extract 435,600 barrels of oil, but there are still millions of gallons in the Gulf. Plans for a more effective containment system, which would extract 20,000 to 25,000 barrels of oil per day, are in development. Two relief wells, which BP believes would kill the flow of oil and gas from the reservoir by pumping in heavy fluids, will take at least three months to complete. BP has paid more than $2.65 billion in grants to Gulf states, federal costs, spill response efforts and relief well drilling.
How is the oil spill affecting the environment?
Animals that live in the wetlands are greatly affected by the oil covering their homes. The spill threatens the viability of oysters, shrimp, shellfish and other seafood, which then affects fishermen and restaurateurs who work in the industry. Currently, 36 percent of the gulf is closed to fishing. Pelicans were just removed from the endangered species list last year, but are now back in trouble. A bird's feathers lose their ability to insulate when covered with oil, which eventually leads to hypothermia. To save itself, a bird may attempt to clean its feathers, which would cause it to die from ingesting the toxic oil. Five of the seven species of sea turtles live in the Gulf Coast, all of which are endangered or threatened. Other animals that don't necessarily reside in the Gulf, such as American crocodiles, will still suffer because they eat fish, turtles, wading birds, and other species contaminated by the oil.

Where is the oil headed?
The oil spill, which began just south of Louisiana, will continue to spread because of a warm front in the Gulf Stream called the loop current. The loop provides a mode of transportation for the oil to move across the coasts of Alabama and Mississippi and down the west coast of Florida. It will then continue to travel south, possibly affecting the Florida Keys. A hurricane could change this pattern and possibly spread the oil further. If the oil spreads to south Florida, it could then swoop up to the southeast side of Florida and continue north.

What does Kevin Costner have to do with it?
The “Waterworld” and “Dances with Wolves” actor spent more than 15 years and $20 million developing technology to extract oil from water. Costner and his company, Ocean Therapy Solutions, created a machine that they said was able to clean 210,000 gallons of water per day and would leave water 99 percent pure. The invention was presented to BB, which purchased 32 of the vaccuum-like machines to use in their clean-up efforts. Costner told the Los Angeles Times he planned to donate 80 percent of the profits from the sale to struggling parishes in the Gulf.

Suggestions only useful if enacted
Task forces often are pageants put on for show that bring about painfully incremental.
if any, change.
Let's hope Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little's Task Force on Retention and Graduation will rise above the usual stagnancy of bureaucratic committees.
A KU news release this week congratulated Gray-Little on meeting the task force's first goal by appointing Christopher Hauffer, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, "to direct implementation of the task force's recommendations."
That sounds like merely a single step in the mile-long journey
through KU's administration.
This task force, and the Chancellor's two others for that matter, address fundamental weaknesses of the University, which if properly addressed could drastically improve the quality of education instruction and life for students.
The lofty recommendations from the retention task force's report are all sound and good. Some recommendations might create additional work for students, but it's clear each requirement is designed to enhance the educational experience for students and faculty. And that's a good start for improving the research and academic profile of the University.
That in turn will increase the value of a KU degree and the desirability of KU graduates.
But appointing another faculty member to another leadership position isn't truly progress. Let's just wait and see if these recommendations actually come to fruition.
Perhaps the most important recommendation of the task force is a complete revamping of KU's general education requirements — a change long overdue. Nearly 20 percent of students who have completed their major requirements fail to graduate because of unfulfilled general education requirements, the task force's report found.
That number is disturbing.
That number is disturbing. Instead of complementing one's major course load, general requirements are serving as a blockade to graduation. While some variety in coursework is inherently beneficial, it's obviously gotten out of hand KU requires 30 to 50 percent more general education credit hours than other comparable research universities, the report states.
With this finding, students are reassured of what they already knew: It's increasingly difficult to earn an undergraduate degree at KU in four years.

What French protests say about us
PARIS — Two days after an embarrassing early exit from the World Cup, a second strike hit France. As if the one by the county's national soccer team wasn't bad enough.
In place of disagreements between a badmouth player and a largely incompetent coach, Thursday's strike concerned pension reform — a sensitive subject here in France. In short, the conservative government wants to raise the retirement age by two years — from 60 to 62.
The Interior Ministry estimated 797,000 protesters participated in nearly 200 marches across the country, numbers that dwarfed a similar demonstration in May.
I attended the demonstration in Paris, "My first one," I told Thomas, a friend I was staying with for my

weeklong stay in the city.
He warned me of the strike on Wednesday night. With one in four metro trains out of operation, navigating the city bustling with summer tourists would be even more difficult come Thursday morning. He then told me about the demonstration. I told him I wanted to go.
By I p.m. Thursday I had squeezed onto the metro headed for Place de la République, the staging grounds
for the demonstration. I could feel the train struggle under the weight of the over-packed cars as it crept toward my destination.
Demonstrators began chanting slogans while unraveling their flags and banners. Dozens poured out of the metro station onto Place de la Republique, where thousands more greeted them.
Inside the sweltering mass of people, French techno blared from dozens of car stereos, union leaders yelled through PA systems and bullhorns, and demonstrators organized themselves for the march to Place de la Bastille.
I approached a group of men who wore neon-green vests and yellow hard hats. They were "tree climbers," as one man described to me in broken English.
"Why are you demonstrating?" I asked him. His answer captured the spirit of the day — It was the only way to get the government to listen.
"If Sarkozy was here someone would hit him," he said in reference to France's increasingly unpopular president.
The pension reforms will likely pass. If the system remains unchanged, France will face a funding shortfall of 72 billion to 115 billion Euros by 2050, according to the BBC. The French government says such reform is necessary given the country's rising public debt.
Americans may find it difficult to sympathize with their French coun-

terparts, seeing as France's 35-hour workweek and retirement age are among the lowest in the Western world.
Yet debt and deficit are things most Americans have grown accustomed to in recent months. Kansas faces an estimated $510 million budget deficit for the 2011 fiscal year.
The United States' national deficit for the 2009 fiscal year was approximately 9.91 percent of the gross domestic product, or $1.4 trillion — considerably higher than France's deficit of 7.5 percent last year. And even that's too high for the French government, which promises to bring it under 3 percent by 2013. Chances aren't good for President Barack Obama to do the same by the end of his term as he had once promised.
When was the last time 200 simultaneous demonstrations took place in the United States? Have Americans grown so disillusioned by government that they no longer feel capable of making a difference outside of election years? Is our political apathy a result of government's unwillingness to listen, or do we simply need to give politicians a chance to hear us out?
These are the questions that came to my mind that day. As measures taken to manage public debt grow increasingly noticeable, the stark contrast between France's demonstrations and America's lack thereof is something to keep mind.

In an increasingly competitive job market, students, especially those in the professional schools, should spend more time taking classes within their majors and less time taking classes on bowling, earthquakes and ancient Rome. These classes waste students' money and time and distract from career-minded courses.
Another wise recommendation calls for a new "early warning system." The new system would identify students who struggle early on and intervene with advising and support. If this warning system is non-threatening and constructive, it could go a long way in keeping

KU needs the chancellor to turn these suggestions into policy.
Many of these recommendations come with a low or nonexistent cost of implementation. No buildings need to be built and no staff or faculty needs to be hired. Administrators should be able to enact these ideas rather seamlessly.
Now, let's see if they do.
— Kevin Hardy for The Kansan Editorial Board
The once bright future for medical marijuana is looking a lot hazier after a recent dispute between the Iowa Board of Pharmacy and the state's legislators.
"I think you won't see this become a law for several years, but the only way we are going to make it a law is to study it," Courtney said.
However, after speaking with Sen. Tom Courtney, D-Burlington, we are not optimistic we will see any development before January.
Initially, the Pharmacy Board said it recommend Legislature to take a look into the medical benefits in order to proceed toward legalization. However, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy has said there is no need for a legislative committee to study the matter because the Iowa Code gives the Pharmacy Board
Medical marijuana in Iowa had appeared to be heading toward legalization, but there have been major arguments lately on whether it is up to the state board or the Legislature to give the final go-head. Each party points to the other, and as they do so, the prospects of obtaining a prescription for medical marijuana seem to be further from reach.
While we wait with the rest of Iowa, we are rather hopeful that the state will end the bickering and legalize the once frowned-upon substance, thus allowing those in dire need to reap the medical benefits.
the power to set rules for medical marijuana.
And many will agree with him. According to the Compassionate Coalition, marijuana has been proven to be one of the safest, therapeutically active substances that can be used for an array of medical purposes.
Without officially taking a side on the issue, Courtney said he believes the Pharmacy Board is correct, saying, "The Legislature is the one that needs to move forward on this issue."
— Daily Iowa Editorial Board
Courtney is a strong advocate for the drug, and he believes many hospitals are in favor of medical marijuana because it can ease the pain and nausea for many patients.
Courtney said the state's biggest concern is that over time, it will be easier for people to obtain the drug for recreational purposes.
So, what once seemed like such promising progress has apparently gone up in smoke — now only time will tell if medical marijuana in Iowa has a future.
And Courtney is certainly correct. There are many technicalities that the state must research, and it will take some time before we see any progress.
"If you're going to make marijuana legal, you have to figure out the mechanics of it," he said.

Rare elephant found in Myanmar jungle
ASSOCIATED PRESS
YANGON, Myanmar — A rare white elephant has been captured in the jungles of northwestern Myanmar, a mostly Buddhist country where the animals are considered good omens, state media reported Tuesday.
Forestry officials found the animal Saturday, acting on a tip, in the jungles of Maungdaw township in northwestern Rakhine state, the New Light of Myanmar reported, describing the elephant as about 38 years old and 7 feet and 4 inches tall.
White elephants, actually albinos, have for centuries been revered in Myanmar, Thailand, Laos and other Asian nations. They were normally kept and pampered by monarchs and considered a symbol of royal power and prosperity.
The elephants are not necessarily white. They can look similar to other elephants except for certain features like fair eyelashes and toenails, light-colored hair or a reddish hue to the skin.
The newspaper did not say where the elephant would be housed. It will be the fourth white elephant held
in captivity in Myanmar. The three others are at the Mindhamma Hill park, in suburban Yangon, where they live in an enclosure with spiralled pavilions, a manmade waterfall, ponds, trees and vegetation.
Sorada Salwala, of the Thailand-based Friends of the Asian Elephant Foundation, said the group normally objects to placing elephants in captivity but stopped short of criticizing the capture of white elephants. In Thailand, all white elephants are traditionally handed over to the country's revered king.
"The white elephant is a sign of great blessings and fortune for the land," she said, adding that traditional Myanmar and Thai beliefs are similar on the subject.
Previous white elephants transported from the jungles have been heralded in lavish ceremonies where the Myanmar's military leaders sprinkle them with scented water laced with gold, silver and precious gems.
A war was fought in the 16th century between Thailand and Myanmar, then Siam and Burma respectively, over disputed ownership of four white elephants.

Police start pulling over for texting behind the wheel
BY LUYAN WANG lwang@kansan.com
As of July 1, police officers will begin pulling over and giving warnings to drivers who text or use e-mail on their cell phones. The new policy, which is part of the bill Governor Mark Parkinson signed into law May 24. Kansas Highway Patrol Captain Art Wilburn said police would start looking for texting drivers Thursday but won't issue the $60 fine until after Jan. 1.
Students and others driving on campus could also get tickets. Assistant Chief of Police Chris Keary said University Public Safety would begin looking for the violation July 1 as well.
Research has found that texting while driving significantly increases the probability of a car crash. The bill stated that more than 29 lives would be saved and more than 4,100 injuries could be avoided with the new law.
State Senator Jay Emler, a Republican from Lindsborg, introduced the bill and called texting while driving "a popular rat" during the full Senate debate on the anti-
texting bill. Emler said he spent two years with an ambulance service and picked up several victims who were too young to die. In some cases, he said the accidents were caused by careless drivers.
"While talking on a cellular phone is distracting, perhaps even dangerous, texting while driving is absolutely dangerous," Emler said.
Emler said a good police officer would be able to determine whether the driver was texting, just as an officer determines whether there is reason to believe the driver is under the influence.
of the students were likely to write or respond to a text message while driving.
"I believe with education of the public, this bill will save lives and curtail, although not stop, texting while driving."

Tea drink kombucha pulled from shelves
BY JANENE GIER
jgier@kansan.com
The line between being labeled a healthy tea and an alcoholic beverage is as thin as 0.1 percent.
Kombucha tea, known for its health benefits, crossed the legal limit when it was found to be above 0.5 percent of alcohol by volume and was removed from Whole Foods Market shelves around the country Thursday.
"Whole Foods has not released the lab data yet," said GT Dave, president and CEO of GT's Kombucha. "They indicated that the product tested slightly above 0.5 percent, which is why they were concerned of potential labeling issues." Dave said.
If the kombucha products are found to contain more than 0.5 percent alcohol by volume, labels would have to show the same standard alcohol warnings found on beer, wine and liquor
ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO TAX AND TRADE BUREAU GUIDANCE INFORMATION
The distribution of an alcoholic beverage product that is not labeled as such misleads consumers and could cause potentially serious consequences for consumers, especially pregnant women, children, and individuals who should avoid alcohol for medical reasons
- If products contain more than 0.5 percent alcohol, the producers would have to qualify, file bonds, pay federal excise taxes, file returns and maintain appropriate records
Kombucha products containing at least 0.5 percent alcohol by volume are considered alcoholic beverages
- Products for which the tax was not paid would be seized and forefeited
If these criteria are violated, other civil and criminal liabilities could result
Whole Foods is testing the content of all kombucha brands it had in inventory, Dave said.
The Community Mercantile, 901 Iowa St., still carries kombucha drinks such as Millennium Products' Synergy and Kombucha and Honest Tea's Honest Kombucha, which both have labels stating the products could have up to 0.5 percent alcohol, a result of natural fermentation.
Sita Mukerji, operations manager at the Community Mercantile, said she didn't find out about the recall until the day after Whole Foods recalled its stock, when people from Kansas City started calling to see if the Community Mercantile still had it in stock.
"I haven't seen a lot of concern about the alcohol content, but people certainly do want to know what
they're putting into their body and how it's going to affect them," Mukerji said.
On GT's Synergy Kombucha Facebook page, fans of the drink have posted pictures of stockpiled Synergy bottles and ask questions such as, "Why is it I can buy a beer, but I cannot buy a kombucha?"
Community Mercantile employee Rose Naughtin, a sophomore from Lawrence, said most of the Merc customers didn't even know why the recall happened.
A statement issued by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau said a product should be below 0.5 percent alcohol by volume to be marketed as a non-alcoholic beverage, according to the TTB.
Mukerji said only specific batches of kombucha may have been affected. She said that all of the kombucha products met testing standards, which did not exceed the amount of alcohol indicated on the label, before being shipped.
If the product exceeds that amount, it would have to be relabeled to ensure that consumers were advised that the product is an alcoholic beverage.
"There were some initial concerns over slightly elevated alcohol levels with kombucha products produced by a smaller company on the east coast. We suspect there was some mishandling involved," Dave said.
After shipping, Mukerji said, additional natural fermentation of the product could be the reason behind the increase in alcohol content.
Emily Lysen, a Local Burger employee and Lawrence resident, said she drank about two bottles of kombucha a day. Local Burger sells a select variety of GT's Kombucha.
"Key national kombucha suppliers have voluntarily withdrawn products until further notice due to concern around potential labeling issues related to slightly elevated alcohol levels in some products. After conversations with several kombucha suppliers, we share the concern and have removed all kombucha products at this time. We are passionate about this product category and are working with our vendor partners as they review these potential labeling issues and we hope for a swift resolution."
"I use it to counteract increased sugar intake and to balance pH," she said. "I drink it for vinegar content and the carbonation is nice. I don't want it to end up at a liquor store in order to buy it. I'll be honest, the small alcohol and carbonation I do use to counteract a hangover."
— Whole Foods spokesperson Libba Letton
Lysen said she thought people would probably home brew kambucha more often now that it was harder to buy in stores.
"It will probably make people buy GT's less, but a lot of people won't stop drinking it because it's so much
more potent and because of how well it's made," she said. "And they do a really good job of mixing it with the fruit purees."
The Community Mercantile is still carrying kombucha products because the recall was not mandated, Mukerji
said. She said she thinks things should be resolved quickly.
"We're just waiting for labeling to make sure it's in compliance," Mukerji said.

Final Fridays to show student art
BY MEGAN RUPP
mrupp@kansan.com
Starting August 27, University students have an opportunity to showcase and view artwork in a new project called Final Fridays.
Everyone is welcome to enjoy the artwork, but for visual, design and performing arts students. Final Fridays is a unique chance to show off their talents. Michael Selby, a senior from Hays, is a graphic design major who said he plans to participate.
"Final Fridays really has a great potential to connect KU's design collective with the community of Lawrence," Selby said. "Hopefully, those who take the time to view our projects will see that KU is producing exciting, nationally-recognized work that many Lawrence businesses could utilize."
Dina Evans, director of career
services and outreach for the School of Music, said she appreciated any opportunity for student musicians to get out of Murphy Hall and play for a new audience.
"There's a little bit of a fear factor and apprehension built into that, but if you want to see yourself as a performing musician in your future, it's this kind of opportunity that helps create the confidence you need." Evans said.
John Hachmeister, an associate professor of sculpture, said he appreciates the additional opportunity to showcase his students' pieces.
Administratorsandstudentsagreed that those who become involved in off-campus exhibitions developed more comprehensive portfolios.
"It accelerates the professional level of production," Hachmeister said. "They become more professional in the way they think about, create and finish their artwork."
David Brackett, a textiles professor in the School of Fine Arts, said he hoped students would see the opportunity as a way to get involved in the Lawrence community.
"It's a great experience that students should take advantage of because it provides a greater potential for other people to see and become familiar with their work." Brackett said.
Jane Pennington, director of Downtown Lawrence Inc., said she hoped students show initiative to participate if they are interested.
"I would anticipate that musicians would be the types of people who might want to have a brief gig on those Final Friday nights."
CITY
On June 22, city commissioners unanimously approved the Downtown Lawrence Arts District's request for $10,000 from the
Lawrence Cultural Arts Commission. The amount was available because of a canceled sculpture exhibit last year, Pennington said Downtown Lawrence Inc. would use the funding to market the event until it became a tradition.
"By then, it should attract people from surrounding areas who may decide to spend the whole weekend in Lawrence if they have something special to do on Friday nights." Backed by the Lawrence Arts Center, the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce and the Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau, Downtown Lawrence Inc. plans to feature visual and performing arts in any available venue of downtown Lawrence. Ben Ahlvers, exhibition program director at the Lawrence Arts Center, said any restaurant, bar, bank, retail store or vacant storefront in downtown can open its doors to the opportunity.
"We market the opportunity, but
it's up to them to have art on their walls, performances in their space or maybe even a drink or food special to capture people in the area looking at art." Ahlvers said.
Susan Henderson of the Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau said it was important to marry arts and downtown.
"Similar events have proven in other cities, like Kansas City and Topeka, that they do bring people in to spend their money and to enjoy the community."
In addition to the economic benefits, Tom Kern, president of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, said Final Fridays offered cultural opportunities to the community.
"We also support their efforts to increase public awareness of all the opportunities one has in Lawrence and this new arts district helps facilitate that," Kern said.

Students beg for money online
BY KIRSTEN KWON kkwon@kansan.com
In 2008, Henner Mohr and his wife Lilac found themselves in a situation familiar to many college students: in debt and wondering how they would pay it off.
The couple started thinking outside of the box and decided to create a website asking for money from strangers.
Now, students looking for a way to pay off debt can turn to their site, sponsormydegree.com, to "cyber beg." The site allows students to create personal profiles that include short essays pitching themselves to potential donors.
In one profile, a KU student wrote, "After I complete my undergraduate degree and finish graduate school, I would like to become a psychologist where I assist families, children and individuals with their psychological needs."
Another KU student's profile
says. "I come from a low-income family, so I'm frequently applying for scholarships. I've clocked 100 hours of volunteer service at our hospital, I work 20 hours a week and I'm involved in numerous school sports and activities."
When the Mohrs first started the site, they thought companies would sponsor students to receive brand recognition. But Mohr said most of their donations have come from private donors whose attention is caught by something in a student's profile.
"We've had a lot more success with individuals, regular people making donations to students on an individual-to-individual basis." Mohr said. "They read their profiles and they're touched by something."
The largest donation a student has received at one time was $500. Mohr said in most cases donations will be between $20 and $150, and students can receive more than one donation. Still, Mohr said, "cyber
begging" wasn't guaranteed to pay off.
"Not everyone receives donations and there's far more students who need help." Mohr said.
There are currently 10,000 student profiles on the site and that number continues to grow. The money donated goes directly toward the student's tuition after the Mohrs confirm that the student is currently enrolled and has debt to pay off. They verify the student's information by calling his or her university and student debtor.
Mohr said he considers the site a success even though none of the students receive a large sum of money. He doesn't mind that people refer to his site as cyber begging.

Ex-Chicago police officer's torture case may not be last
BY KAREN HAWKINS Associated Press
CHICAGO — For some, the perjury conviction of a former Chicago police lieutenant accused of lying for years about the torture of suspects marks the end of a tragic chapter in the city's history. Others, including federal prosecutors, suggest it could be just a start.
A federal jury found former Lt. Jon Burge guilty of perjury and obstruction of justice Monday after a five-week trial that pitted the decorated former officer against five convicted felons who said he and officers under his command shocked, suffocated and burned them into giving confessions in the 1970s and 1980s.
Prosecutors have alleged Burge didn't act alone, and one witness said Burge didn't touch him but looked in as other officers beat and suffocated him. For decades, dozens of
suspects — almost all of them black men — claimed Burge and his officers tortured them into confessing to crimes ranging from armed robbery to murder.
Other officers also have denied any role in torture and no other perjury of obstruction of justice charges have been announced, but U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald has said the investigation into the decadeslong cover-up is ongoing.
Burge is the only officer to be criminally charged in relation to torture, but federal prosecutors have hinted he won't be the last. Burge was charged with lying in a civil suit in 2003 when he denied ever witnessing or participating in torture. He wasn't charged with the torture itself because the statute of limitations has run out.
Fitzgerald said after Monday's verdict that "a message needs to go out that conduct is unacceptable"
and asked others who feel they have evidence of torture to come forward. He wouldn't comment on specific cases.
Fitzgerald called it sad that it took until 2010 to prove in a courtroom that torture once occurred in Chicago police stations. More than 100 victims have said the torture started in the 1970s and persisted until the 1990s at police stations on the city's south and west sides.
The lack of charges led to widespread outrage in Chicago's black neighborhoods. The community anger intensified when Burge moved to Florida on his police pension — after being fired from the department in 1993 over the alleged mistreatment of a suspect — while his alleged victims remained in prison.
Burge's conviction means he could lose his pension, said John Gallagher, executive director of the police pension board.

Lawrence ranks high among America's best college towns
BY MEGAN RUPP
mrupp@kansan.com
The University may be a part of conference realignment, but Lawrence remains in a league of its own. Last week, Sarah Schlichter, editor of IndependentTraveler.com, listed Lawrence as one of the nine best college towns in the country on MSNBC.com.
"We really liked the emphasis on the arts," Schlicher said. "For a relatively small city, it really seemed to
be a thriving arts community. We also liked the sense of history there." Schlichter said Lawrence also stood out because of the inexpensive shops, unique dining options, outdoor activities, the "attractive buildings and green spaces" on campus and the "great pride" surrounding the University's sports teams.

"Clinton Lake and all it offers is a huge asset to the city of Lawrence and the University students who use the area quite a bit," Gehrt said. "When I was a student at Kansas back when they first built the dam 30 years ago, I biked across the dam that students now use heavily for fishing."

Colleges required to update e-readers for blind
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — Federal officials are requiring colleges that use Kindles and other electronic book readers in the classroom to make sure the gadgets have accommodations for blind and vision-impaired students.
The U.S. Departments of Justice and Education sent a letter to college and university presidents Tuesday instructing them to find alternatives for blind students if the devices are required in the classroom.
Not doing so would be a violation of federal law, said Russlynn Ali, assistant secretary for civil rights at the Education Department.
The federal government began examining last year whether the use of Kindles and other e-readers violated the Americans with Disabilities Act after a blind Arizona State University student sued the campus in June alleging that Kindle's inaccessibility to blind students constituted a violation of federal law.
The lawsuit was settled in January with the help of the National Federation of the Blind and the American Council of the Blind.
Many e-readers have text-to-speech functions, but those don't apply to menus, which means that a blind person would still need help using the device, Ali said.
"The key here is fully accessible, not in-part accessible," Ali told The Associated Press. "Blind users cannot navigate the menu. They couldn't fast forward or even know which book they were reading."
So far, four universities — including Princeton University — struck deals with the Justice Department and agreed to shelve the e-readers until they are fully functional for blind students.
The other campuses are: Pace University, Case Western Reserve University and Reed College.

Online portal sends health information
BY JANENE GIER
jgier@kansan.com
Student Health Services launched a new online system allowing patients and students access to health information through the Kyou portal earlier this month.
"There will be improved communication between patients and their providers, with a more timely follow-up." Joe Gillespie, associate director of Student Health Services, said. "Currently, the nurses play a lot of phone tag. Sometimes they may try to reach a patient three times and now they can send a secure message."
The new patient portal allows medical staff and patients to communicate online through secure messages and view important medical account information.
Gillespie said the features currently available through the portal not only allow secure messaging between providers and patients, but also allows them to view account balance information, view and print immunization records and view and cancel appointments.
"The contact time we have with patients is going to be more quality time because now we'll have time to do that. We won't be making 15 calls a day to just leave messages for people to call us back. Now, I'll be able to spend time explaining things to those who are available," Melody Volek, Student Health Services staff registered nurse, said.
Because much of the world is turning to online service, some students were surprised that this didn't
"Sometimes when it comes to health, it's too much information all at once. They can't always absorb it. Or if they're in a noisy place while they're on the phone with us, they may just not hear all of it." Volek said.
Volek said she's looking forward to the secure messaging system because it will provide more clarity to patients by giving them written directions that they can open up and look at again for future reference.
"Everything's online. It makes it a lot easier. It's not fun when you want to talk to someone and you can't get answers and this sounds convenient," Lisa Ellenbaum, a senior from Topeka, said.

"Only students will see a 'KU Student Health' option on the 'Services' tab within the

Other online features planned for the future include the abilities to ask nurses health questions, schedule appointments, request prescription refills, compile personal health records, complete immunization and health history forms, fill out pre-visit questionnaires and fill out post-visit surveys, Gillespie said. He said features will be announced as they become available.

STUDENTS SAID THE FOLLOWING WERE THEIR FAVORITE FIREWORKS SHOWS
"I love the Corporate Woods show. I think it's the best one around. You have to park pretty far away and walk to the show, but it's definitely worth the 40 minute drive," Blake Evans, a senior from Shawnee, said.
Corporate Woods is located off of 110th and Antioch in Overland Park.
"My friends and I go to the Perry Lake show because it's close," Carla Clark, a junior from Lenexa, said.
Perry Lake Park Ranger Jim McClure said the Perry Lake show has been cancelled because of a lack of funding.
Ben Anderson, a sophomore from Lincoln, Neb., said his favorite show was the Eudora show. Parking is available in the lots at the middle and high schools on Church Street, south of Kansas Highway 10.
"The De Soto show is nice. It's not too far and the fireworks are a lot better than the ones in Lawrence," Kevin Cook, a senior from Shawnee, said.
The De Soto show is at Riverfest Park, off of Ottawa and 79th street.
FIREWORKS LAWS
It is illegal to buy, sell or shoot fireworks in the city limits, but fireworks vendors set up tents close to the city.
"Lawrence itself doesn't have any stands. The laws have not changed. We monitor the vendors for the county. We can't sell within the city limits," said Kanitha Englebert, Douglas County Zoning and Codes administrative secretary.

Lisa Erickson used to shop for her KUT-shirts at Joe College before it closed in March. With so many options, she wasn't sure where she would buy her University apparel after that — until she saw a friend wearing a white fitted short-sleeve shirt with a layhawk on the front.
"I asked her where she got it, and she said GTM,"said Erickson,a senior from Wichita.
So she went to GTM and has continued to buy her KU gear there.
GTM Sportswear, 1008 23rd St., opened in 2009 and is one of about 15 stores in Lawrence selling KU clothes. In the last few years, more KU stores have popped up around town. With the competition growing in an already-saturated market, the stores must find new ways to stand out from competitors.
"We try to offer different apparel and a variety from different vendors," said Channing Payne, a senior from Wichita and a sales associate at the store. Channing said the store tries to stay on top of its competitors' merchandise. Its buyer has experience and contacts in the business, which helps to stay ahead of competition, she said.
GTM also makes some of its own KU clothes.
Campus Cloth, 914 Massachusetts St., opened three years ago, and uses lower prices to lure customers in its doors, said owner and manager Charles Easter.
Joe College filled a niche with lower-priced T-shirts, and Campus Cloth is trying to snag that market with its deal of three T-shirts for $25.
After 35 years of retail experience, Esater said he knows that it's survival of the fittest when it comes to his competition.
"When downtown turns into restaurants, KU stores, or bars — there's not that much diversity," he said. "It's a little bit of a struggle, but we'll do our best."
Campus Cloth focuses on selling vintage-inspired shirts, using older designs to make it look like a more fashionable store. This helps to differentiate it from the more athletic-style apparel stores.
Massachusetts St., has been open for 20 years, and takes a different approach when it comes to staying aloft amidst all its competition — most of which is found within one block.
One of those athletic stores, Jock's Nitch, 837
Jock's Nitch is a licensed printer of KU merchandise, ensuring it has certain designs other stores legally can't sell — an opportunity that the store had to apply for.
"With the infrastructure we have in place, we're confident in our product," said Ryan Owens, Jock's Nitch manager and a 2000 University graduate. "It's a very saturated market, and it does get competitive, but we're confident with our selection."
Jock's Nitch has been building its reputation for two decades, and it has gone through many changes. But Owens said, at this point, he feels as though the store has the right approach.
"It doesn't hurt to have competition, either," he said. "It keeps you on your toes."
One way to stand out is to serve a different clientele. Baily Bosc, a sales associate at 1865 Uniquely KU in The Oread Hotel, 1200 Oread Ave., said the store caters mostly to alumni and tourists staying at the hotel. The store has two brands, Retro and Banner 47, that are unique to it.
"They're a little higher priced and nicer brands," Bosc said.
Co-owner of the Kansas Sampler, 921 Massachusetts St., Peg Liebert, said the store first came to Lawrence last month with the goal of being an alumni store.
"We've worked really hard for alumni stuff and to have things that grandparents can gift," she said.
The Kansas Sampler, a chain store, also has locations in Topeka and Kansas City, Mo. The decision to open a Lawrence location came after recomendations from friends and colleagues and the opportunity to move into the building where the Blue Heron used to be. After the owners analyzed the business plan, Liebert said the decision was easy.
"I think our pricing is very competitive," she said. "There are products that we offer that will last longer that has quality."
With the abundance of KU apparel stores, there is no shortage of layhawk gear for KU fans — and no shortage of competition for the stores that sell it.

Kansas bars ask judge to block smoking ban
BY JOHN MILBURN Associated Press
TOPEKA — Attorneys representing bars and bingo parlors asked a Kansas judge to put a hold on the state's smoking ban Tuesday, arguing it would hurt their businesses and violate their constitutional rights to property.
Shawnee County District Judge Franklin Theis said he would decide by the end of the day today whether to issue an injunction preventing the law from taking effect Thursday or dismiss the lawsuit filed against the state.
The challenge was filed by a group of businesses that claim the new law does not treat all of them equally, in violation of the Constitution.
The law bans smoking in most public places, including bars, restaurants and some private clubs. It allows smoking in the gambling areas of state-owned casinos but not bingo parlors.
Leading the lawsuit was the Downtown Bar and Grill in Tonganoxie, which would close if the ban went into effect, said attorney Mike Merriam of Topeka.
"It's not just losing the customers, it's losing the investment," he said.
Merriam said the bar's property rights were being violated because the new law set a cutoff date of Jan. 1, 2009, for a business to convert to a private club, where smoking is allowed. It received its private club license in May 2009.
Merriam said the bar converted to a private club because at the time it didn't meet Leavenworth County requirements that drinking establishments derive 30 percent of their revenues from food sales, not because of the smoking ban. But the owners had hoped that by being classified as a private club, they could continue to allow smoking.
had the kind of complicated classification for determining where smoking was allowed that Kansas does, Merriam said.
Topeka attorney Tuck Duncan represents four Wichita-area businesses who say the law treats the state-owned casino different from their businesses. Only one casino is open, in Dodge City, with a second under construction in Kansas City.
Duncan's clients operate Bingo Royale in Haysville, several Bingo Palace sites in Wichita and HEAT bars and Shooters billiard clubs in
Wichita. Duncan argued
"When they put (the cutoff date) in retro-actively, we were in the soup," he said.
While cooking in states good court none
While smoking bans in other states have stood up to court challenges, none
that the s a m e law that allows bingo parlors a l s o permits casinos. And while the state maintains it has a financial interest in permitting smoking to attract customers, so do bingo and billiard halls.
"All my clients want to do is further their success and contribute to the Kansas economy," Duncan said. "It really needs to go back to the Legislature to correct the problem they created through their political process."
Assistant Attorney General Tim Reimann defended the state law, saying the businesses are only speculating they would lose money and customers.
"There is no evidence of harm here at all. It's just not that big a deal." Reimann said, adding that smokers in other states and Kansas cities that already have bans have proven willing to "take three steps" from a bar door to light a cigarette and go back inside for a drink.
Smoking is not a fundamental right, he said, and the state has the right to establish exceptions to bans, he said. He also said the state has an economic interest in the casinos permitting smoking, adding that the Dodge City casino has generated $3.5 million in revenue for the state, compared to less than $500,000 over the same period by the bingo parlors.
"The United States Constitution does not require fairness," Reimann said.
Duncan said customers who enter casinos, bingo parlors and other businesses do so voluntarily and thus the owners have a right to decide whether to permit smoking.
"Smoking is legal," he said. "It's legal. No one is forcing you to walk into an establishment."

Heavy rains cause flood damage at Rec
June 23's heavy rain storm left the basement of the University's Ambler Student Recreation Center flooded.
"North of the rec center they were working on a steam tunnel and the rain was just pouring down so quickly," said Mary Chappell, director of recreation services. "It just travelled down the steam tunnel so quickly, it was like a river flowing on into our lower level."
Chappell said about 50 percent of the flooring near the rock wall had been removed. The entire lower level might need a floor replacement at some point, but right now administrators are focused on ensuring that the area is safe for people who choose to continue rock climbing.
"The wall's safe because the water couldn't affect the fiberglass,
but with so many groups coming in and out of there, we just want to work on getting the floor up, then installed as quickly as possible," Chappell said. "Right now, it's running, but we might have to close it down, but we don't know that just yet."
Administrative staff plans to meet next week to assess the total costs of damages, which Chappell said might be costly if the whole floor does need replacing. Chappell said the overall costs would amount to much more had students not responded by directing the stream of water as it entered the facility.
"If it wasn't for them, this whole situation would be a lot worse," Chappell said. "They saved us a lot of damage by laying about 1,000 towels down to create a levee and keep the water from going in the wrong direction."

KU police interviewed but did not arrest a suspect in a rape reported June 24. KU assistant chief of police Chris Keary said the victim, 21, did not want to prosecute the 22-year-old suspect, who was an acquaintance.
"The circumstances of this particular incident made that appropriate," Keary said.
The incident was reported to KU police at 2:15 a.m. on June 24. According the a KU police report, the victim was sexually battered and raped near the parking lot at 1400 Alumni place, close to the Natural History Museum. The report also said that both the victim and the suspect were University students.

Regents approve tuition increase
The Kansas Board of Regents approved an 8.2 percent tuition hike June 24.
Tuition for in-state students will be raised from $3,707 to $4,012.
Under the tuition compact, incoming freshmen from Kansas will pay $4,366, or 6.4 percent more, for one semester, assuming a course load of 15 credit hours. The tuition compact locks in the price for four years, so these students would not be affected by future tuition increases.
Tuition for all public universities in Kansas has been raised, but the University of Kansas — the most expensive regents school — has the largest increase.

Teen sailor returns to port where her voyage began
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MARINA DEL REY, Calif. — Abby Sunderland, the precocious 16-year-old girl who attempted to sail solo around the world, is returning to the port from which she launched her voyage five months ago, her boat having been abandoned in tatters but her spirit unbroken.
Sunderland flew home to Southern California Monday night and was to speak with reporters Tuesday at a hotel in Marina del Rey, the same port from which she set sail in the 40-foot boat Wild Eyes on Jan. 23.
She was about halfway through her journey earlier this month when a fierce storm in the Indian Ocean snapped her mast and ended the voyage. After three days adrift, she was rescued by a fishing boat and taken to the French island of Reunion.
Before leaving Reunion,
Sunderland told reporters the storm
that destroyed her boat "ended my
trip but it didn't end my dream."
She still hopes to sail around the
world someday, just as her 18-year-
old brother, Zac, did last year.
Zac Sunderland answered the phone late Monday at the Sunderland home and said the family was about to cut a cake in celebration of his sister's homecoming.
Since her voyage went awry, Sunderland's parents have come under relentless criticism for letting their teenage children attempt such dangerous voyages. Abby Sunderland has defended them, saying she was as experienced as most any older sailor and, like them, knew the risks involved.
When her brother completed his voyage last year he was the youngest person to do so. His record has been broken twice since then, most recently by a 16-year-old Australian girl.
When she left port last January, Abby Sunderland hoped to return with the record. She had to abandon that plan when her boat developed problems and she had to pull into port in South Africa for repairs. Sunderland, who has been sailing since she was a toddler, decided to continue the journey, however, simply to realize her dream of circling the world.
That ended when she was caught in a storm in the Indian Ocean that battered her boat with waves as high as three-story buildings. She had to give the vessel up to the sea when she was rescued.

Gen. McChrystal to retire with 4 stars
WASHINGTON — Gen. Stanley McChrystal, fired from his job as commander of the Afghanistan war after more than three decades in the Army, will be allowed to retire at the rank of four stars.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Tuesday that the White House will do what it can to ensure McChrystal keeps that rank. McChrystal had been a four-star general for just over a year when President Barack Obama demanded his resignation as Afghan war commander because of scornful remarks made to Rolling Stone magazine.
Under Army rules, McChrystal would have had to serve three
years as a four-star officer to retain that rank, with its higher prestige and deeper retirement benefits.
The Army has been 55-yearold McChrystal's only career. He is being replaced by Gen. David Petraeus, who was his boss at U.S. Central Command.
At his confirmation hearing Tuesday, Petraeus used his opening remarks to pay tribute to his former colleague, Petraeus said McChrystal's leadership has contributed directly to the success in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"We now see some areas of progress amidst the tough fight ongoing in Afghanistan," Petraeus said. "Considerable credit for that must go to Stan McChrystal."

Celebrations, festivals draw Jayhawks to Cat country
BY HANNAH JENNISON hjennison@kansan.com
There are two popular events that attract KU students to Manhattan each year: Fake Patty's Day and Country Stampede. The Affiliated Forces, Midtown.
Country Stampede, which took place last weekend from June 25-27, is a four-day country music and camping festival that drew KU students west into enemy territory.
Fake Patty's Day is hosted one week before Spring Break and
events come from Lawrence and all over the Midwest to enjoy the festivities, music and bars that Manhattan has to offer.
Chad Perkins, a junior from Shawnee, said he had heard negative comments while hanging out in Manhattan at these events.

"When I'm wearing my KU T-shirt, people usually comment on how ugly it is or they will make some negative connotation toward KU. It's sad," Perkins said.
Although most students keep their mouths shut, some are
die-hard fans of their schools and are not afraid to voice their opinions.
Carla Ramirez, a recent Kansas State graduate, said that she loves
K-State and that her pride for her school had led her to "hate" KU.
"K-State is much better than KU. We have true school spirit and pride. My dislike for KU comes from my dedication to K-State," Ramirez said. "Sorry for saying this, but I'm not going to censor myself."
Although KU students might receive negative remarks about their school, they continue to enjoy the events Manhattan has to offer.
Lawrence attempted to copy the success of Fake Patty's Day with the Larryville Luau on April 23. Bars on Massachusetts Street opened earlier than usual, handed out leis and offered special drink prices.
Brenda Johnson, a senior from Oklahoma City, has been to Fake Patty's Day three times and said she didn't think Lawrence would ever be able to pull together an event like it.
"I went to Larryville Luau and really didn't think that it was anything special. It was a little more crowded on Mass. Street but it was
COUNTRY STAMPEDE FATALITIES
MANHATTAN Two deaths were reported at the Country Stampede music festival in northeast Kansas this week.
Luke Nihart a 32-year-old man from St. George died in an allterrain vehicle crash early Saturday at Tuttle Creek State Park. The 15th annual Country Stampede music festival was being held at the park and ended Sunday.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says Nihart entered a parking lot at a high rate of speed, lost control and rolled the ATV. The patrol said the victim wasn't wearing a helmet.
Early Thursday before the festival began, a 19-year-old man from Beaver Crossing, Neb., died from what the Shawnee County Coroner's office said was an unexplained internal injury.
nothing like the streets in Manhattan during Fake Patty's," Johnson said.
Despite the trouble KU students get from K-State fans, these festivals remain popular among lahawks.
Perkins said that he thought that Lawrence could one day have a festival as successful as the ones in Manhattan.

"I go to be with my friends and have a good time. At the end of the day, Lawrence will always be home," Perkins said.

U.S. Marine accused of war crimes back on duty
BY JULIE WATSON Associated Press
CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. Marine Sgt. Lawrence Hutchins III put on his uniform and reported for duty Tuesday despite lingering accusations that he killed an unarmed
Iraqi man in what became a major war crime case.
Hutchins, 26,
of Plymouth,
Mass., spent
the past fours
years in a military prison after being convicted of murdering a
52-year-old Iraqi
man in the village of Hamdania in 2006.
"I'm afraid I'm not going to get that fair treatment because of the political ramifications that I'm being used for."
He was released June 14 after a military appeals court ruled he had an unfair trial in 2007 and threw out his conviction.
The case is now in the hands of a higher court that can affirm or reverse the April ruling.
The back window of a truck in the driveway read: "Free Larry."
"I'm afraid I'm not going to get that fair treatment because of the political ramifications that I'm being used for," said Hutchins, who donned his crispy ironed Marine uniform at a friend's home in nearby Oceanside before heading to the 1st Marine Division at Camp Pendleton, north of San Diego.
Hutchins told The Associated Press he fears the Navy will be watching his every move to see if it can get him back in jail since his conviction was a major victory in the government effort to go after U.S. troops who kill unarmed Iraqis.
Hutchins will handle the logistics of training exercises at the base while his case is being appealed by the Navy.
Hutchins is under no restrictions, and the Marine Corps has said he will be treated like any other Marine but will not be deployed because of the legal situation.
Navy prosecutors say Hutchins led a squad that dragged Hashim Ibrahim Awad from his home, shot him in a ditch, then planted a shovel and AK-47 to make it appear he was
an insurgent.
LAWRENCE HUTCHINS III Marine sergeant
- Hutchins said he feels Navy Secretary Ray Mabus is out to get him because Mabus told the Marine Corps Times last year that he believes Hutchins was the ringleader in a murder plot and attempted cover-up, and that Hutchins should
complete the full prison sentence.
pool," Hutchins said.
"I don't think any Marine should be used as a political tool, but I'm walking on a razor's edge as it is with the Navy secretary saying what he has said and tainting the jury
Mabus' office said he is precluded from commenting since the case is under appeal. Prosecutors said they are preparing an appellate brief that will detail their case.
Hutchins has maintained that he was not present at the killing, and that his squad radioed him to tell him the man was an insurgent leader. Hutchins said the death haunts him, but he declined to discuss specifics on the matter.
Hutchins was convicted of murder and sentenced to 14 years, a term later reduced to 11 years. The six other Marines and Navy corpsman in his squad served less than 18 months.
the advice of his lawyer.
Hutchins said he harbors no ill feelings toward his squad mates. He has been ordered not to talk to them while the case is ongoing, but he hopes to someday have a beer and "talk war stories" with them.
After their release, several of the squad members worked for the Headquarters Battalion, where Hutchins has been assigned. He said they left a good record.
In the 10 days since his release, Hutchins has visited with his parents and six-year-old daughter after they flew from Massachusetts.
"If I could take this all back and do over, I definitely would not have condoned what happened." Hutchins said. "Marines pay for it. Families pay for it. I would never put anybody through this. It's one of those things I have to live with."
He has been sleeping on base but plans to move into his friend's home. He believes his conviction will not be reinstated.
"I had to go out and buy a wallet, get my Social Security card.
"If I could take this all back and do over, I definitely would not have condoned what happened."

Court rejects new trial for KC area homicides
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — A man convicted of murdering a Kansas City couple and then attempting to escape from jail will not get a new trial.
A Missouri appeals court ruled last October that Kellen McKinney's convictions should be overturned because a judge should have split the escape charge from the murder charges.
But the Missouri Supreme Court
on Tuesday said the judge was correct in trying the charges together
McKinney, of Kansas City, Kan., was sentenced to consecutive terms of life imprisonment for he October 2004 stabbing deaths of John and Mildred Caylor in Raytown. They were killed at the Bible and music store they owned.
McKinney also was sentenced to four years in prison for an attempted escape while in custody on the murder charges.

Missing boy's dad files for divorce
BY NIGEL DUARA
Associated Press
PORTLAND, Ore. — The father of a 7-year-old Oregon boy missing for nearly a month has filed for divorce from the boy's stepmother, informed her he is seeking a restraining order and moved out of the couple's Portland home.
Divorce papers filed Monday show that Kaine Horman had a new, undisclosed address as of Saturday. They also show he is seeking sole custody of the 19-month-old daughter he had with Terri Moulton Horman.
During the investigation into the fate of Kyron Horman, his father and stepmother had been living in their home in the countryside west of downtown Portland, along with their daughter.
The couple had shown a united front during the criminal investigation — appearing at two press conferences together — but signs of a split emerged earlier Monday when Terri Horman was not part of a family statement. The divorce petitions were filed in the
late afternoon.
No explanation has been given for why Kaine Horman filed the divorce papers and the request for a restraining order, which a judge has sealed.
The divorce papers, which were made public, cite "irreconcilable differences."
Asked about the divorce filing, sheriff's office spokeswoman Lt. Mary Lindsthrand said: "It's a personal matter between the parties, so we're not commenting on it."
The Oregonian newspaper reported that Terri Horman was home Tuesday but did not speak to reporters who were gathered outside.
Investigators have not identified her as a suspect in Kyron's disappearance. They have said she is the last person known to have seen the boy.
She told them that she last saw the boy on the morning of June 4, walking down a hallway toward his second-grade classroom, wearing a "CSI" T-shirt and dark cargo pants.

Admissions changes for international students
BY LUYAN WANG
lwang@kansan.com
International students will have an extra step in the admissions process starting Fall 2011.
A new policy will require every international undergraduate applicant to submit scores from standardized tests: either the Test of English as a Foreign Language or the International English Language Testing System.
Currently, the University does not require international students to submit TOEFL or IELTS scores for admission, but they are required to complete a proficiency exam through the Applied English Center.
Chinese Students and Scholars Friendship Association vice president Yun Liu, a junior from Suzhou China, said many students she met in the association did not submit test scores when they came to the University.
Liu said some students' English was poor and they had to take AEC classes before they were able to enroll in KU courses.
Yu Wang, a freshman from Chongqing, China, is among the students enrolled in the AEC. Wang came to the University this summer and didn't submit a test score with
her admissions application.
The Kansas Board of Regents established the minimum admission standard for undergraduates. The KBR gives each university the
opportunity to determine a higher standard for specific academic departments, Daphne Johnston International Admissions director, said.
"Any of the professional schools can accept higher standards," Johnston said.
"We will still admit students with any level of English proficiency, no matter how high or how low."
"And they can change theirs at any time."
with any level of English proficiency,
no matter how high or how low"
DAPHNE JOHNSTON International Admissions director
The standards and requirements for Applied English Center will not change, but if a student's TOEFL or IELTS score is lower than AEC requirements, he or she must take the AEC English exam before enrolling in standard KU courses. If the TOEFL or IELTS score meets AEC standards, students would be able to enroll directly in courses without taking the AEC exam.
"There is not a minimum score required for admission," Johnston said. "We will still admit students
International Student and Scholar Services director Joe Potts said the new policy is designed to help international students prepare for college life before they arrive on campus.
Potts said International Student and Scholar Services wanted to see the test scores to advise students after they were admitted on how
many English classes they might take when they got to the University.
The University's English proficiency policy was proposed by a committee formed by International Program Admissions and approved by the Faculty Senate at the University.
According to the admissions office, official English test scores must be less than two years old and submitted directly from the testing agency. Students who are unable to present official scores may apply directly to the Applied English Center as nondegree-seeking students.

Seattle writer wins 2010 bad writing contest
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN JOSE, Calif. — An unseemly sentence that compares a kiss to the union of a thirsty gerbil and a giant water bottle has won the top prize in an annual bad writing contest.
San Jose State University said Tuesday that Molly Ringle of Seattle was the grand prize winner of the 2010 Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest, which the university has sponsored since 1982.
In her winning entry, Ringle wrote: "For the first month of Ricardo and Felicity's affair, they greeted one another at every stolen rendezvous with a kiss — a lengthy, ravenous kiss, Ricardo lapping and sucking at Felicity's mouth as if she were a giant cage-mounted water bottle and he were the world's thirstiest gerbil."
The literary competition honors the memory of 19th century English writer Edward George Earl Bulwer-Lytton, who famously opened his 1830 novel "Paul Clifford" with the much-quoted, "It was a dark and stormy night."
Steve Lynch of San Marcos, Calif., won the detective category: "She walked into my office wearing a body that would make a man write

Linda Boatright of Omaha won the Western category: "He walked into the bar and bristled when all eyes fell upon him — perhaps because his build was so short and so wide, or maybe it was the odor that lingered about him from so many days and nights spent in the wilds, but it may just have been because no one had ever seen a porcupine in a bar before."

Those selected in the NBA Draft pose for a photo opportunity in New York last week. Kansas' Cole Aldrich was picked 11th by the New Orleans Hornets and Xavier Henry went 12th to the Memphis Grizzlies.
Aldrich, Henry go quick
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
NEW YORK — Cole Aldrich didn't really fit in New Orleans. The experts never really mentioned Aldrich as an option for the Hornets' first-round pick, even though the team was in the heart of his projected range (about sixth to 15th). New Orleans, after all, has an established veteran at center in former No. 2 overall pick Emeka Okafor.
The Hornets didn't need Aldrich. The Oklahoma City Thunder, on the other hand, did. So the relative surprise at the

with superb talent at point guard (Russell Westbrook) and swingman (perennial all-star Durant). The Thunder lacked an elite post. It is, of course, their hope that Aldrich will
fill that role.
"I'm not going to try to go in and do spectacular things," Aldrich said, "only the things I'm
good at. I'm good at rebounding and defending and blocking shots and that's how I'm going to make my presence on the court early is doing those things."
Oklahoma City is already successful in that regard, though. Despite lining up relative unknowns Nenad Krstic and Serge Ibaka at center for the majority of the season, the Thunder led the league in blocked shots and ranked third in rebounding.

COMMENTARY
Sherron needs to be like Vaughn
1974
BY JAYSON JENKS jienks@kansan.com
For four years, he captivated Kansas fans with bulldog drives and high-arcing three pointers. He wore his emotions on his sleeve and pumped his chest after big moments.
On Senior Night, he buried his head in coach Bill Self's chest and cried in front of 16,300 people.
Plus, he holds the most wins in Kansas basketball history — a statement that by now certainly gives away the subject of this column.
When Sherron Collins' name went uncalled during last week's NBA Draft, two thoughts crossed my mind.
My immediate reaction dealt almost solely with basketball. If Collins wants to stick in the NBA, he needs to model his game after another former Kansas guard, Jacque Vaughn.
Vaughn, a dynamic passer, had little in common with Collins in terms of their style of play. Collins was a ferocious offensive attacker; Vaughn was a classical passing point guard and distributor.
Yet Vaughn, who is 6-foot-1,

long-term star for the Grizzlies. Adding another young talent at shooting guard doesn't necessarily add up for the franchise's long or short term.
Bill Self said he sees Henry's immediate role as a sixth man and scoring threat off the bench, and Henry said he could see himself excelling in the role.
"I've grown up as a scorer. I had to take a backseat at Kansas but I'm a versatile scorer and I can help with that."

Kansas guard Sherron Collins pumps up the crowd during a game against LaSalle University at Allen Fieldhouse in December 2009. Collins went unpicked last week's NBA Draft, but later signed with the Charlotte Bobcats.
Collins snubbed at draft, later signs with Charlotte
BY COREY THIBODEAUX
twitter.com/c_thibodeaux
Ever since the Jayhawk's loss to Northern Iowa, Sherron Collins has been a ghost.
He spent time working out for the NBA draft in Las Vegas and returned home to Chicago, where he is now. He cut off contact with almost everyone outside of his inner circle.
On June 24, the winningest player in Kansas basketball history watched as his two younger teammates, Cole Aldrich and Xavier Henry, were picked 11th and 12th in the 2010 NBA draft.
He sat through 60 names and never heard his own called. Now Collins will try to make an NBA team another way. He signed with Charlotte' Bobcats' summer league squad the day after the draft and will begin playing July 5 in Orlando, Fla.
Coach Bill Self said draft night must have been a disappointing night for Collins, but it looked like things worked out.
"To wake up this morning and
know that Michael Jordan and Larry Brown want him in their camp is something to certainly take the sting off from last night," Self said. "Hopefully, he will go in there with the right frame of mind and with an attitude to go earn it"
The point guards on the team include North Carolina standout Raymond Felton, who is the primary starter. Felton is a pending free agent. D.J. Augustin from Texas is the backup.
Also challenging Collins for a guard spot on Charlotte is Kansas State's Denis Clemente, who was also passed over in the draft. Throw in Justin Dentmon from Washington, who spent the past year playing overseas, and Collins has a lot of players to compete against.
Self said Collins had not responded to his recent text messages, so the chances of Collins talking to the media any time soon are slim.
"I think it's disappointing," Self said after the draft. "I can't believe he is not one of the best 60 prospects to come out of this draft."
Calling names such as Pape Sy from France — who averaged just
over five points per game last season just doesn't make sense compared to the 15.5 points per game and 4.5 assists Collins supplied the top team in the country. Junior forward Marcus Morris said he was upset about the snubbing.
"I thought Sherron had a great college career and I think, other than John Wall, he was the best point guard there," Morris said. "Things happen that way, but I was very upset about that one."
Self would not elaborate on reasons he was told for Collins not being drafted by teams. The 5-foot-11, 205-pound guard has been known to put on pounds now and again. Mix the weight issues with his less-than-desirable speed and height, that may have led to him not being drafted.
But since essentially every NBA team passed on him, Collins now has the opportunity to prove them all wrong by making his way into the NBA any way he can.
"What I would do to educate Sherron is say don't be mad at anybody," Self said. "Just change it."

Octopus Paul predicts Germany to win over Argentina in World Cup
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BERLIN — Octopus oracle Paul on Tuesday hesitated but ultimately picked Germany to win — again — this time over Argentina in their quarterfinal matchup at the football World Cup.
Paul, who rose to global fame after correctly predicting all four of Germany's games in this year's tournament, indicated that Saturday's game will be a tough battle and that it may even end in a penalty shootout.
While English-born Paul made a snappy decision to pick Germany over his native country, this time it took the octopus about an hour to approach a water glass containing a mussel marked with a German flag, said Tanja Munzig, a spokeswoman for Sea Life Aquarium in the western city of Oberhausen.
Paul ignored a similar glass with Argentina's flag, but he also did not reach inside the German glass with his tentacles to grab the seafood goodie.
"Paul kept staring at the German glass and only when we wanted to take out both glasses, he finally jumped inside the German one and gulped down the mussel" Munzig said. "All of his behavior indicates that Saturday's game will be very tough and it may even go into extra time and penalty shootout — but in the end Germany will win."
Despite being a naturalized German, Munzig said, Paul is not a biased octopus and "he may even have some relatives in Argentina, who emigrated there many generations ago."

averaged more than 23 minutes per game and never averaged more than 5.3 field goal attempts per game.
But Vaughn played 12 seasons at basketball's highest level, and he finished his career with an NBA championship courtesy of his time with the San Antonio Spurs.
The point is, Vaughn made himself into a role player in the NBA a transition certainly easier for a pass-first guard.
The second thought that crossed my mind though, dealt less with anything on the basketball court, and instead focused on Collins as a person.
But if Collins wants any type of NBA career, he too must transition his game and develop into a more traditional point guard. He must improve his passing and sell teams on the idea that he can help them with small energy spurts off the bench.
When sitting in during Collins' press conference before Senior Night against Kansas State on March 3, the diminutive guard with a big heart consistently talked about the changes he had made in his life while in Lawrence.
He talked about the rough situation he encountered back home in Chicago, and he credited Self
and the Lawrence community with allowing him to grow as a person.
Every major local news outlet ran a story relating to the theme, and at the time it was an incredible feel-good story. But the story wasn't complete yet.
Collins leaves Kansas after four years and now his true story begins. If Collins doesn't make it with an NBA team, how will he respond? Will he responsibly support his two kids? Will he avoid off-court tempations?
And if he does sign with a professional team, whether in the NBA or overseas, will he answer those same questions in a positive manner?
During his time at Kansas, I always found it amazing that so many people pulled for Sherron Collins, the little man with a gigantic will to win. There was something inspiring about his story and about the way he played basketball. Fans wanted to see him succeed.
He made mistakes both on and off the court, sure, but he always seemed to bounce back. That's normally the true test of character.
Here's to hoping Collins continues down that path in his life after Kansas.

'I'm a Jayhawk' lyrics face changes

One thing you don't mess with as a Jayhawk is tradition.

But one thing will stay the same: Students will have a say in the lyrics.

Colorado have left the Big 12, "I'm a Jayhawk" will be revised to remove references to the Buffaloes and Cornhuskers.
Jennifer Sanner, senior vice president of the Alumni Association, said as part of Homecoming Week, Oct.

First created in 1912 by George "Dumpy" Bowles, a student looking to leave a legacy at the University, the song eventually caught on and became popular in 1920. It was revised in 1958 for the Big 8 conference teams. Now, the song will be tweaked again to match the remaining Big 12 uni-
18-24, there will be a contest giving students a chance to re-write the lyrics. The Oct. 23 Jayhawk Jingle event, which has been a singing competition in the past, will also become the platform for students to present their revised version of the song to a
panel of judges.
"It just seemed like that would be the natural home for the event and we really wanted to involve students because they carry on the tradition," Sanner said.
Though submissions will include newly written parts of the song, much of the fight song will go untouched. The revised areas will be concentrated to one part of the verse and two lines of the chorus.
"We still want to sing I'm a jay jay jay Jayhawk, so to mess with it too much would probably disturb a lot of folks," Sanner said. "But we probably don't want to sing about Nebraska or Colorado come 2012."
The song will not be officially changed until the conference changes in 2012.
Taylor Gardner, a senior from Leawood, said modifying the lyrics wouldn't change the song for him at all.
"Nobody sings the lyrics so it only matters to me if the song stays the same," Gardner said.
For those who think changing the lyrics will make a difference, Sanner said to rest assured; other traditions will not be affected by league changes. She said revising the song showed people that Jayhawk customs were strong.
"These are small changes that we envision," Sanner said. "It draws a little more attention and reminds people of our history."
I'M A JAYHAWK
Words and music by
GEORGE H. BOWLES, 12
Talk a beat the sand are the Air girls and the braves.
Talk a beat the night and the tail. Talk a about the darkness, those old can that his heart.
But I'm a bird to make them warp and wall.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - It was a harrowing and humbling experience for everybody who coaches basketball in the Big 12.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
With talk of conference realignment swirling around them, nobody at the highest administrative level where historic decisions were being made even bothered to pretend that basketball was a factor.
Football and its millions in television rights were all that seemed to matter as the Big Ten, Pac-10 and Southeastern Conference attempted earlier this month to pick off the Big 12's choice schools.
"I think most coaches realized that football generates more revenue," said Baylor coach Scott Drew. "But I think it surprised some people out there just how great the disparity level was between football and basketball."
Even the storied Kansas basketball program seemed to hold no allure. There has been talk that Kansas might have held some interest for
the Pac-10, but the league made clear it preferred Oklahoma State or Texas Tech if bringing them along would help land the nationally prominent and imminently marketable Texas and Oklahoma football brands.
"I know who makes the money for the university. I understand that," Texas A&M coach Mark Turgeon said Monday during a Big 12 basketball coaches teleconference.
"The scary thing was a school like Kansas — because I played there — their tradition, and they not having a place to go. That was a little bit sobering. I think I was realistic about things. But it's our NCAA tournament that pays for the rest of sports in their championships, so that was the hard part."
For the two uncertain weeks while the Big 12 appeared to be on the brink of a breakup, the NCAA could only stand by since its rules say nothing about what conference anybody must belong to.

Hoglund Ballpark's transition to turf means more practice for team
BY CARLO RAMIREZ cramirez@kansan.com
No longer will players leave Hoglund Ballpark with uniforms covered in grass stains. By September 1 the KU baseball team will have officially switched the surface of its field from grass to turf.
The $1.1 million project which was funded entirely by donations from boosters, former players and alumni — will be the final step to legitimizing Hoglund as one of the finest facilities in college baseball, said head coach Ritch Price.
In addition to the aesthetically pleasing appearance of the turf, the renovations will also allow more time for the team to train outdoors. Price attributed 15 days of missed practice between the months of February, March and April to poor weather and an unplayable field — 15 chances he believes his team could have used to improve.
"Guys in Texas, California and Florida play year-round." Price said. "Using turf will allow us to spend more time outdoors and play more often, which is how you get better."
After a game at Texas last year,
one of Price's players walked off the turf field and told his coach, "If you make an error on this, you are a bad player," Price said.
The switch to turf will allow the field to stay playable even with the severe and inconsistent weather Kansas endures.
"I'm excited for turf." Zac Elgie, junior first-baseman, said. "It allows us to constantly get to play outside and not have to worry about tarping the field and maintenance."
The turf will also improve the hops infielders receive when fielding ground balls. Price said he thought this would build confidence and allow his players to believe they can field anything hit their way.
Even with all the positives the new turf offers, Price — a former infielder himself — had a difficult time switching from traditional grass and dirt to turf.
"I'm prejudiced when it comes to playing on dirt and grass," Price said. "Because I believe it is the best way to get better."
Even with the emotional tie Price felt toward traditional fields, the appeal of turf was too great. The money the Athletics Department would spend on dirt, grass, water and other field equipment to maintain the field during a 15-year span would equal the cost of converting to turf. In essence, the turf will eventually pay for itself.
Price compares the final completion of the field to that of a game seven championship series in Yankee Stadium - the well manicured playing surface is a treat to play on.
The move to turf fields has become a common trend throughout college baseball fields in America. Grass fields are quickly becoming a thing of the past, and turf is becoming the preferred field surface.

TICKET SCANDAL
NCAA, colleges align with ticket brokers
ASSOCIATED PRESS
College sports fans searching for a coveted ticket to a sold-out game can bypass the shady guys hanging outside the stadiums and arenas. Just try your favorite school's website. Or go straight to the NCAA.
A scalping scheme at the University of Kansas has exposed the seamy side of the secondary ticket business, with five now-former athletic department employees and a consultant accused of keeping the profits from selling as much as $3 million worth of basketball and football tickets to brokers. A federal grand jury is reviewing the case.
The Kansas case is a rare black eye for an industry that has grown in both size but also legitimacy.
A 2008 Forrester Research report values the secondary ticket market for live entertainment — pro and college sports plus concerts — at $4.5 billion annually, or roughly 20 percent of the primary ticket business.
Other estimates peg the annual secondary market as high as $10 billion. Industry leaders say as many as 30 percent of concert and sporting event tickets wind up on the secondary market.
The industry has its own lobbying group, the National Association of Ticket Brokers. The trade association and other industry groups hold annual summits at Las Vegas casinos and the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York. And its political influence has led to an across-the-board decline of state and local anti-scalping laws, as
well as greater cultural acceptance of ticket resales.
The NCAA in 2007 enlisted the Razorgator online exchange service as its "official ticket and hospitality package provider" for the men's Final Four. The deal has since
been extended to include the women's Final Four, the College World Series, Frozen Four hockey tournament and the remaining four rounds of March Madness.
That means ticket sellers and buyers — fans or professional brokers playing the market — can ply their trade online under the NCAA's seal of approval. Alumni whose school loses in the semifinals can pawn their championship game tickets at the Razorgator table inside the stadium.
"It acknowledges reality. Our goal is to provide a legitamate, safe, guaranteed means by which those transactions occur."
also allows the NCAA to limit ticket fraud.
GREG SHAHEEN NCAA senior vice president
"It acknowledges reality," Shaheen said. "Our goal is to provide a legitimate, safe, guaranteed means by which transactions occur."
Need tickets and a hotel room for the 2011 Final Four in Houston? A shade under $1,900 will get you an upper-level seat in Reliant Stadium, four nights at a nearby Marriott, a souvenir program and admission to a pre-game hospitality tent with food buffets and an open bar.
Greg Shaheen, an NCAA senior vice president, said the association was tired of watching secondary market ticket sellers profit off the NCAA's name and reputation. He said the partnership with Razorgator
Razorgator charges sellers and
buyers an administrative fee. Shaheen declined to disclose the specifics of the NCAA&multiyear contract with the company.
Individual schools are also increasingly turning to Web-driven ticket exchanges to
complement box office sales.
Ticket reseller StubHub, a division of eBay, counts 13 schools among its officials partners, including Alabama, Louisville, Purdue, Stanford, USC and Wisconsin. Other schools team with industry giant Ticketmaster or provide their own programs, which sometimes are restricted to donors and season-ticket holders.
At the StubHub school sites, ticket holders can sell their extras or average Joes can buy the finest seats in the house. So Trojan fans eager to watch USC face Virginia in the Sept. 11 home opener can buy a seat inside the Los Angeles Coliseum for just $39. High-rollers looking for a 50-yard line perch for the late November game against Notre Dame can expect to pay $3,000.

COLLEGE WORLD SERIES
"They'll walk out to the bleachers; sit in shirtsleeves on a perfect afternoon. They'll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes."
Finale similar to 'Field of Dreams'
Baseball just feels right here in the Midwest, and nowhere more so than at the venue named for former Omaha mayor Johnny Rosenblatt. Shoeless Joe Jackson and Co. may not have emerged like Gandalf from the afterlife to play at Rosenblatt like they did in the '89 movie, but Rosenblatt has been the site of dreams – and of night-mares – in its 61 glorious years of hosting the College World Series.
Sure, "Field of Dreams" – the appropriately named 1989 film in which James Earl Jones' character, Terrence Mann, utters the above words – took place in Iowa, but its application to the College World Series, held in Omaha, Neb., is apt. After all, nothing but a zoo and a river separates Rosenblatt Stadium from the Hawkeye State.
The three-game series between UCLA and South Carolina that begins today will be the beginning of the end for the stadium. 2010 is the last year that Rosenblatt will serve as the tournament's host.
"They'll watch the game and it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they have to brush them away from their faces."
"The one constant through all the years ... has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time."
It certainly does in Omaha, where the entire city pulses with action when baseball descends upon it. At its epicenter is Rosenblatt, atop a grassy knoll, its blue girders still appearing as strong as ever and giving little evidence that they have held fast for six decades.
The heartland that is the Midwest is often referred to as the crossroads of America, so perhaps it's only natural that there's a sense of anything-can-happen, thingscan-go-any-direction around Rosenblatt.
"This place is an adventure of its own," TCU pitcher Matt Purke said after he led his team to a win over UCLA on Friday. "You never know what's going to happen here."
A combination of draconian heat, tricky winds, crowds of 20,000-plus and the grandeur of the stage make for an unparalleled baseball experience. Not that, the future site of the event – the sickeningly corporate TD Ameritrade Park – won't feature those things, but at Rosenblatt it just feels proper. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the name itself evokes an image of spring. Indeed, for 61 memorable fortnights, the stadium has flourished. It blossoms into something brilliant. It becomes a Rose-in-bloom.
