Alumni appointed to fill jobs in administration
Two alumni will return to the University of Kansas in administrative positions this summer.
On May 23, Chancellor Robert Hemenway named Theresa Klinkenberg as the director of administration. Klinkenberg had been the associate director of administration.

In a May 29 press release, Provost David Shulenburger said that Robert Barnhill would serve as vice chancellor for research and public service at the University. He also will be president and chief operating officer at the reorganized Center for Research, Inc., a foundation that will facilitate and increase research at the University.
As vice chancellor for research and public service, Barnhill will coordinate all funded and non-funded research activity in Lawrence

NEW YORK — The schoolteacher son of Time Warner's chief executive was found bound and shot to death in his apartment.
Time Warner CEO's son found dead in his home
Police said yesterday they had no motive and no suspects in the slaying of 31-year-old Jonathan Levin. There was no sign of a break-in, said police representative Noreen Murray.
Levin's father, Gerald Levin, has been chairman and chief executive of Time Warner for four years.
Co-workers from Taft High School sent police to Jonathan Levin's apartment on Monday night after he failed to show up for work.
His body was discovered face down, his feet were bound with duct tape and he was shot in the head.
Neighbors described Levin as a humble man who never mentioned his family's wealth.
Scuffle raises awareness of supremacist activity
The incident landed two men in jail and sent a female officer to the hospital.
WICHITA — City police said they may begin keeping lists of skin-heads similar to their lists of other street gangs after a weekend disturbance by suspected skinheads and white supremacists.
Police responding to complaints of loud music Saturday night found a hostile crowd that included people with Nazi tattoos. One police officer, a Black woman, was pushed off a stage set up and suffered a minor knee injury.
Deputy Chief Norman Williams said gang intelligence officers hadn't seen evidence of organized skinhead activity before Saturday's disturbance.

Salmonella cases reported
Weather: Page 2A
Recent sufferers of diarrhea and stomach cramping are discovering that they have been infected with something more than the typical flu bug. They are among 78 reported cases of salmonella infantis in northeastern Kansas.
By Crystal Honores Kansan staff writer
Bacteria infects many in northern Kansas counties
Patricia Denning, a physician at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that Watkins had treated a handful of students for the infection.
Cases have been reported predominantly in Johnson and Wyandotte counties. But the infection has also been reported in Douglas, Reno and Lyon counties.
Denning said that salmonella was a type of bacteria that could cause a gastrointestinal infection. Symptoms may include diarrhea, blood in the stool, fever, cramps and abdominal pain.
Stephen Archibald, a KU postdoctoral student, was infected with salmonella three weeks ago. He said he suspected that the salmonella came from some eggs he had eaten.
"That was really nasty. That really sort of kept me up most the night," Archibald said.
Archibald said his first symptom was a fever, but he then developed stomach cramps and diarrhea.
He was diagnosed with salmonella at Watkins and was put on antibiotics for 10 days.
"I still have to provide another stool sample for a culture to check that it's gone. I guess they just want to make sure that there are no traces left." Archbald said.
The Kansas Department of Health
and Environment labels many foods as high-risk and also suggests that consumers pay attention to expiration dates and handling, cooking, cleaning and storage procedures.
Fruits and vegetables are the health department's most notable exceptions to the list of high-risk foods.
Denning said that salmonella also may be transmitted by oral-fecal contact. Denning said this transmission could be prevented by good hand-washing habits, especially after using the restroom and before handling food.
Don Brown of the health department said people who suspect that they may have salmonella should contact a doctor. He said that a medical professional could not only recognize the infection and treat the individual but that a doctor could immediately report the infection to the health department.
The health department so far has
not been able to find the source responsible for this outbreak.
"We've been doing a series of interviews with all the people that have reported this illness," Brown said. "We're trying to find a common denominator. We have established that not all victims have eaten at the same restaurant or gone to the same picnic, so we're concentrating our efforts more towards the wholesale food distribution level."
A new approach to finding the source is DNA testing.
"Much like a crime lab can match a criminal to a crime scene based on the DNA that's left, we're using that same technology to match this organism between the cases," Brown said. "If the DNA of the salmonella matches, we know that those cases have the same source. Most, if not all, of these cases are matching up through the DNA testing."
Brown said that once the health department had found the source, it

would then locate the contaminated food products and remove them from the shelves.
"From that point we would go on with educational efforts and working with whoever was responsible." Brown said. "We don't want to just find out what's wrong, we want to correct it, so it doesn't happen again."
RINGIN' OF THE BELLS
Carillon guild event draws players from across the continent
By Rebecca Osladil Kansan staff writer
Melodious sounds from the bells of the carillon will roll down the hills of the KU campus much more frequently this week.
The KU Department of Music and Dance is the host of the 55th Congress of the Guild of Carillonneurs in North America. The event began yesterday and will continue through Saturday.
Janet Dundore, a carillonne from the Philadelphia area, said that the carillon
was the largest, heaviest instrument in the world and could be heard across the largest distance. These factors make it an ideal instrument for those who wish to reach large audiences.
"It's a great way to play instruments for the public." Dun-
"When you can touch a lot of people it's an amazing thing."
Janet Dundore carillonneur
dore said. "When you can touch a lot of people it's an amazing thing. You never know who's listening."
Approximately 130 carillonneurs have gathered in Lawrence for this event, which is held annually at carillons across the country.
The KU carillon is inside the World War II Memorial Campanile, which was dedicated in 1951. It is one of nearly 200 carilons in North America and is recognized as one of the finest carilons in the world.
Holmberg said the carillon was a unique instrument that consisted of cast bronze cup-shaped bells arranged in chromatic series and played from a keyboard made of wooden batons. Pedal keys for the feet, much like those of an organ, are used to control the bells as well.
"KU's carillon is ranked in the top four in the United States in terms of location and surroundings," said Mark Holmberg, associate professor of music theory and composition. "I feel fortunate to be able to play here."
Holmberg was appointed assistant University carlillonneur in 1976 after studying the instrument for two years with Albert Gerken, University carlillonneur.
Gerken holds weekly recitals during the summer. He plays at 3 p.m. Sundays and 8 p.m. Wednesdays.

the carillon bells, said the Lawrence convention was postponed in 1994 and 1995 when the carillon was extensively renovated. He said this renovation included replacing the keyboard and rehanging the bells.

"It had 50 years of use and we've learned a lot about the design of carillons since then," said Richard Watson. "Now it should last 50 to 100 years without major work."
Mark Holmberg, associate professor of music theory and composition at the University of Kansas, plays on the practice carillon inside the Campilele. Holmberg is participating in the 55th annual Congress of the Guild of Carillonneurs in North America, which will hold recitals at the Campilele every night at 7 and 8 until Saturday. The members of the Congress, who will be attending seminars and other presentations during the week on campus, will be practice throughout the week at the Campilele.
The KU carillon contains 53 bells, however, this number is not necessarily the standard. The number of bells varies from one instrument to another. The only stipulation is that the carillon must contain at least two octaves.
"People have often told me that you have to be half crazy and half monkey to play this instrument, and I'd say that's just about right," said Dundore.

Guilty verdict brings relief to University Focus of trial now shifts to penalty deliberations
By Sean Demory and Paul Eakins
Kansan staff writers
The trial left some people satisfied with the outcome, others worried about what the penalty might be and a few were glad it had ended.
University of Kansas students and professors had mixed reactions to the conviction of Timothy McVeigh on Monday in the Oklahoma City bombing case.
"I think he was guilty, but I also feel that the media and the government were looking for someone to pinpoint and that it was very easy for them to find him guilty," she said.
Leigh Zahner, Overland Park junior, said the government, although correct, may have been too willing to rush to judgment in the trial.
PETER MICHAEL
Timothy McVeigh
Zahner said the death penalty was a sufficient punishment for McVeigh.
"Assuming that he is guilty," Zahner said, "I think the death penalty is almost an easy way out. I think that, for all he's done, he should have to spend the rest of his life in jail."
McVeigh was convicted of bombing the Murrah Federal Building two years ago, leaving 168 people dead.
He was convicted on counts of conspiracy, use of a weapon of mass destruction, destruction of a federal building by explosives and eight counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of eight federal agents.
The case now is in the penalty phase, in which the jury will decide whether to give McVeigh the death penalty or life imprisonment.
David Gottlieb, professor of law, said the number of charges was not extreme. He also said the death penalty wasn't necessarily a foregone conclusion in this case.
Oklahoma prosecutors plan to try McVeigh for 168 counts of first-degree murder for the other deaths caused by the bombing.
"There hasn't been anyone executed for committing a federal crime in more than 30 years, and the jury isn't obligated to punish McVeigh one way or another." Gottlieb said.
Whitney Black, Wichita senior, said she opposed the death penalty, but McVeigh deserved life in prison.
However, she said she and many of her friends did not care much about the trial after the overexposure of the O.J. Simpson trial by the media.
4.
"Trials aren't as meaningful anymore," Black said. "People's emotions don't run as strong."
Ron Francisco, professor and chair of the political science department, said he that the trial had been straightforward.
"The prosecution presented overwhelming evidence against McVeigh," Francisco said.
He said the most interesting part of the case would come if and when McVeigh snoke.
"The curious thing about the whole McVeigh thing is that if he really believed everything that he wrote, why didn't he say he did it? He didn't talk at all." Francisco said.

No suspect found in campus assault
Kansan staff report
Lawrence police have not yet located a suspect in the kidnapping and rape of a KU student at Naismith Hall during spring finals.
Lawrence police Detective John Lewis said his department still
was working on the case
"the investigation is continuing,
and we are following all le a d s. "
Lewis said.
Police said the woman
Rape suspect
PORTRAIN
had just gotten out of her car in the parking lot of the private residence hall when a man forced her at gunpoint to get back into her car. The man drove the woman's car to an unknown residential area and raped her outside of the vehicle.
Police said after driving the woman to another location the man exited the car and told the woman to drive away.
Lewis said initially Lawrence police contacted police departments in the Kansas City area to rule out a connection between this incident and several similar cases.
"We contacted the agencies to compare the crimes," Lewis said.
"...it is our obligation to let our students know of such situations..."
Gayle Reece KU police officer
"But at this point it doesn't look like the cases are related."
KU police officer Gayle Reece said although the KU police department was not handling the investigation, it had distributed fliers about the crime and the suspect.
The fliers include a computer description and description of the suspect. He is described as a Caucasian male, 20 to 29 years of age, 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall, with dark hair, a beard and a mustache.
"We disseminated crime alert fliers because it is our obligation to let our students know of such situations so that they can be on the lookout for the perpetrator," Reece said.
Domestic abuse brings Williams to court today
Kansan staff report
Former KU basketball player B.J. Williams will appear in court today on charges of domestic abuse.
Lawrence police Detective John Lewis said Williams was
arrested at his home early Saturday morning after Williams' wife said he had hit her in the face.
SIMON AUCKER
"There was a visible sign of injury," Lewis said. "There was redness near the left eye."
B. J. Williams
Lewis said the incident began when Williams and his wife argued about a party he had attended earlier in the evening.
"He had been at the party, and she saw him talking to other people," Lewis said. "It was a group of females."
Lewis said Williams' wife reported that their argument escalated until Williams knocked her down, pulled her into the house and struck her.
Williams was released from the Douglas County jail Saturday afternoon on his own recognition.

Campus soda prices up 10 cents
Cost has increased for first time in 11 years
By Tom Winter Kansan staff writer
Students may find themselves scrambling for change to purchase soda across campus this summer.
KU Concessions and Kansas Union Food Services both have raised the price of soft drinks.
The price of a can of soda jumped to 60 cents on May 29. This is an increase of 10 cents from last semester.
Pat Beard, manager of building services and director of KU Concessions, said this was the first vending machine price adjustment in more than a decade.
Beard was one of the men who recommended the increase.
"It's been 11 years since we've had increases, and in all of that time we've had other increases come to us, pay increases and increases in machine costs." Beard said. "The Unions used to be sales tax exempt on vending equipment."
: Beard said the 6.9 percent state sales tax now is incorporated into vending sales.
In addition to the vending machines, there also has been a 10 cent increase in the cost of a cup of soda in Wescoe, Union Square, the Hawk's Nest and the Burge Union.
Jay Glatz, manager of food services for the Kansas Union, recommended the price increase.
It's been 11 years since we've had increases and all of that time we've had other increases come to us, pay increases and increases in machine
PatBoard Manager of Building Services and Director of KU Concessions
"There were two reasons for my recommendation," Glatz said. "First, there has been an increase in the cost of paper goods. Second, there has been an increase in the minimum wage."
Although the increases are campuswide, neither Glatz nor Beard anticipate increased revenue for their departments.
Beard said KU Concessions was accommodating the department's decrease in income because of lower enrollment in the past few years. He said that this was expected to be the last price increase for several years.

City commission should rein in Lawrence's rapid rate of growth
The Lawrence City Commission needs to pay more attention to its constituents.
This is old news. Most of us have seen with our own eyes that the city is growing rapidly. We have watched the boundaries of the city expand into the countryside.
According to an article in Sunday's Lawrence Journal-World, the population of Lawrence is increasing at an annual growth rate of 2.33 percent, and at current rates, the population is projected to reach 82,616 people by the year 2000. In 1990 the population was 65,698.
However, we cannot see the views of those around us. Judging by the amount of development that city officials have prompted and supported, one would guess that their constituents want this growth as well.
But the Journal-World article informed us that, as it said in the headline, the "city is divided over pace of growth." A survey was done by a University of Kansas public administration class, in which 348 Lawrence residents were asked their opinions about numerous city issues, including growth.
Forty-six percent of local residents oppose speed of community development.
The result? Fifty percent said that the city's growth was about right, while 46 percent said it was too fast.Four percent said the city's growth was too slow. The survey had a margin of error of 5 percent.
So, with near fifty percent opposition to the current rate of growth, one might ask a few questions about the actions of the city commission. Why does the commission seem to be attempting to
bring in as many national chains as possible, such as The Gap, Borders bookstore and Hv-Vee?
The city commission voted to spend $100,000 of the taxpayers' money on a parking lot next to the future site of Borders. Of course, it is to be a "city lot" for use by anyone, but when placed next door to Borders, it is not hard to guess which store's customers and employees will use the lot most.
Why does the city keep pushing the boundaries of the city farther out, promoting development at a rate faster than is necessary, faster than the city infrastructure can handle, and faster than nearly half of the citizens of Lawrence want?
The city commission needs to reevaluate its actions, think about what its constituents want, and attempt to make the necessary changes. The city is growing too quickly, and many residents of Lawrence know it.

Buyer beware: ads are insults
Joe Camel is only a symptom of the problem.
In 1991, a survey showed that 91 percent of first graders could recognize Joe Camel, as many as recognized Mickey Mouse.
For years, the makers of Camel cigarette ignored theories that its cartoonish mascot appealed to the young while watching its share of the teen smoker's market lump ten percent in five years.
Now Joe Camel is on the hit list. He's on the verge of being out of work or, even more telling, involved in "I stopped... don't start" anti-smoking public service announcements. His significance as a symbol is seen as sick, wrong and unique in the advertising world.
In targeting this campaign we ignore the fact that, day in and day out, advertising targets the young without so much as a second thought. We also ignore the fact that few suppliers of goods are willing to use advertising that doesn't work at some level.
Tobacco groups not alone in targeting youngsters with cartoon campaigns
In a Center for Alcohol Awareness survey released two years ago, more fourth and fifth graders recognized the Budweiser frogs than recognized the Power Rangers or Tony the Tiger. The Anheuser-Busch company, when faced with this information, didn't blink an eye.
ception of its consumers. Perhaps they do see us as savages who can be entranced by small shiny objects or the novelty of animals that talk. Perhaps, in their eyes, we are nothing more than cargo cultivists waiting for mass-produced manna to float down from the slides.
Or, perhaps the "get 'em young" school of marketing has been a powerful weapon since advertising began. Perhaps the advertising industry sees children as a tool, a second spokesperson when we're in the supermarket and a solid second market once they're old enough to pretend to be older.
Perhaps these ad campaigns simply are a reflection of corporate America's per-
Perhaps, by making a statement with our dollars, we can get advertisers to see that pandering to us is an insult, rather than a useful tool.

Summer in the city can be relaxing, fun

It's that depressing time of year when the town's collective motivation sinks like a soggy Wheatie to the bottom of the bowl. These are the dead months when you feel like you've
Welcome to summer in Lawrence. Please join me in counting the days until August.
JEFF
RUBY
really accomplished something with your day when you manage to take to shower. When you secretly envy your roommate for having a reason to rise before noon. When you plan your hours around TBS's showing of Weekend at Bernie's.
One can only assume that students who remain in Lawrence during these months are here to serve some sort of punishment
(i.e. jail time, summer classes) or just were too lazy to make other arrangements in a better summer town (i.e. it's really hard to find a good apartment in Hell this time of year).
By mid-June, that old friend you never called during the school year now is on your phone's speed dial because no one else is around. You want to go out and do something, but you can't think of anything better to do than go see a movie. And like the rest of the brainwashed country, you find yourself wandering like a zombie into a theater to stare at yet another movie about angry dinosaurs, salvating at the thought of a couple hours of entertainment that won't bankrupt your brain.
By July, you'll swear this wasn't the same town that was energized and bustling with loud folks during graduation weekend in May. You begin to miss the obnoxious alumni who overrun the town every Saturday for football games. You fondly recall the unbearable long wait to get into Free State. The crowds and vitality are replaced by silence and sloth. You catch yourself yelling at your neighbor for playing his "unbearably loud" James Taylor CD after 9 p.m.
You feel a distinct sadness when you finish reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, or whatever unreadable book you've finally found the time for, because what the hell are you going to do now? Various drastic ways to break out of the rut occur to you as you're lying in bed. Shave your head? Rearrange your furniture? Roadtrip to Graceland? Instead you watch reruns that weren't
But as the months drift by, you start to realize something. There are worse places you could be. Wichita, for example, where the best midsummer entertainment often centers around trying to win stuffed animals by feeding quarters into that machine at Perkins with the giant claw. You know, the one that drops down into the pile of toy giraffes, elephants and bunnies, and invariably comes up with nothing but air and frustration. Lawrence begins to seem like a pretty decent place by comparison.
You start inventing time-killers to push you from one day to the next. You look at old photos. You know it's gotten bad when you make mix tapes on consecutive days. Next thing you know, you hit rock bottom and find yourself enthusiastically singing *Take Me Out to the Ballgame* with Harry Caray during the seventh inning stretch of the Cubs-Reds game on WGN.
You learn that those who inhabit our town in the summer are infinitely cooler than the Jayhawk rowdies who rough up the town for nine months. The trippy guy in the Phish shirt you see daily throwing a frisbee with his mangy Black Lab Murph stops irritating you and begins adding to the color of the town. You're not going to have that 14-shots-of-tequila-at-Louise's-and-falling-down-on-Mass-Street brand of fun. Once you accept this fact, you'll find a new appreciation for the solitude of sitting on your porch mellowly drinking a beer, watching the sun disappear behind the trees.
When August rolls around, you find yourself grumbling about how the town is getting too crowded again. How you didn't get your usual booth in the beer garden at the Replay because it's Hawk Week. How all these damn U-Hauls are blocking traffic on Tennessee and some stupid freshman's parents are driving the wrong way down Kentucky. How the town just isn't the same.
even good the first time around and consider the walk to Burrito King your daily exercise.
Trust me, by the beginning of September,
you'll be nostalgic for those quiet moments
when you got to share a beautiful town with
the lucky few smart enough to be in on the
secret allure of Lawrence in the summer. Soon you'll join those the ranks if those who spend
the spring months counting the days until May,
when Lawrence truly becomes theirs again.
Enjoy it while you can.

Children's game raises moral question in Utah
Parents heard about this rampant, free-love hedonism and decided to take a stand. Petitions were circulated and a joint meeting of the school board and the city council swelled with more than 200 people, a significantly larger number than the parents of Mott's students.
I must admit my secret shame: I was a farmer's wife.
I was in a largely male preschool class, and I dimly recall playing the Farmer in the Dell. I've been told that I was a farmer, a wife and cheese at some point in my life. I didn't take this as seriously as some people have, however.
SEAN
DEMORY
According to an Associ-
For those of you who don't remember, The Farmer in the Dell is a game in which kids portraying a farmer and his wife, pair off and dance around a circle while
The response was extreme, to say the least.
Renee Mott, a kindergarten teacher in Brigham City who had more girls in her class than boys, allowed girls to be chosen as farmers when playing Farmer in the Dell. Some of these girls chose other girls to be their wives. In a class with more girls than boys, this was inevitable.
dance around a circle while other children sing. The odd person out is declared the "cheese" and gets to stand alone.
ated Press story, the citizens of Brigham City, Utah, have struck a blow in a fight that wasn't. Their field of battle: The Farmer in the Dell.
"I know these things may happen in other
applications."
How much, one is forced to wonder, can a child's psyche be healed if he or she is told that the game that a teacher has taught is wrong? How much healing can occur when a girl is told that she must either be connected to a man or alone?
What lessons do these parents want their children to learn?
When asked why she allowed this shameless, free-love hedonism to happen, Mott said "I just wanted all the children to have a turn."
Parents started an action committee and plan to sue the school board and the kindergarten for psychic damage to their children. They've got a local law stating that boys must be chosen first for the farmer role. They have conceded, however, to reserve the role of cheese for a girl.
LeClare Moffatt, a member of the city council, responded "I don't care how 'innocent' this thing started. If not all the students get a turn, that's just too bad. There are more important issues at stake here."
"That should be enough to make anyone happy," concluded School Board President Jack Peterson.
A willingness to protect their children has turned a non-issue into a central issue. I'd like to believe that this is an isolated thing, but after the furor surrounding "Ellen," I'm not so sure.
The parents also have drafted a law for the state legislature that would ban all playacting of same-sex marriages in public schools.

New theater invades Lawrence
By Sean Demory
Kansan staff writer
Like something from a 1950s science fiction movie, a behemoth landed on the southwest corner of Lawrence this spring, silently appearing and growing with every passing day.
This invader, though, claims to come in peace.
HOLLYWOOD THEATERS
The Southwind 12 theaters, 3433 Iowa St., has been partially open since the end of the spring semester, with seven of its planned 12 theaters screening first-run films. An adult ticket is $6 for evening shows.
The Southwind 12 is owned by Hollywood Theaters, a Dallas company that also owns the Hillcrest, Varsity and Crown Cinema theaters in Lawrence.
Upon its anticipated June 17 completion, the theater will almost double the number of first-run movie screens in Lawrence.
Jon Ratzlaff, Southwind 12 house manager, said the theater's entry into the Lawrence market may serve a useful purpose for area theaters.
"With the mass of movies that comes out now, way too often a movie that's doing well has to be moved out quickly to let the next one in," Ratzlaff said. "Now, movies can do business for a lot longer."
agreed.
David Innes, general manager of Dickinson Theater, 2339 Iowa St..
"It might be less likely that a movie will stick around for a long time. We won't see another 20-week run like 'Forrest Gump' again," Innes said. "The same number of people will be going to the shows, but they'll all be there in the first week or two."

"If the screens Southwind 12 Theaters, 3433 Iowa St., now is open for movie goers to enjoy mainstream films. are there, the pro-The theater double the number of first-run movies screens in Lawrence.

nies will fill them," Innes said. "If we build them, they'll come."
Innes said that the size of Lawrence made competition between area theaters nonexistent.
"The city isn't big enough to have the same film sent to more than one theater," he said. "From the consumer standpoint, this will just give movie goers more nice places to see a movie."
He said the theater would show mainstream films, but they are
also interested in showing art films.
"Of course," he said, "who wants to steal money from Liberty Hall?"
Ratzlaff, who was previously a manager at the Varsity Theater, 1015 Massachusetts St., said Southwind 12 had a number of features that would make the movie companies favor it at first.
"We've got stadium seating in all of the theaters, every auditorium is digital capable and I think we've got the nicest chairs of any theater in town," Ratzlaff said.

African elephant trade sparks debate
BONNE BRASCO * 5:30,7:15,9:40
MORGAN'S HAPPY * 5:15,7:20,9:45
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The United States will oppose any attempt by African nations to resume trade of rare African elephant parts, said Clinton administration officials yesterday.
Some environmental groups have raised concerns over a call by Zimbabwe and two of its neighbors, Namibia and Botswana, to resume limited commercial trade in elephant ivory.
Protection of the African elephant is expected to be the most contentious issue facing the 136 delegates meeting next week in Zimbabwe at the Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species. The group, known as CITES, imposed a trade ban on African elephant parts in 1989.
Deputy Interior Secretary Don Barry, who will head the U.S. delegation, said yesterday that the United States would oppose any
changes that would allow even limited resumption of trading in African ivory.
"These proposals would pose unacceptable risks to elephant populations," the Interior Department said in a statement.
Zimbabwe, Namibia and Botswana, argued that their elephant herds are thriving and said they would ask the conference to allow a controlled resumption of ivory exports to Japan. Any change in the 1989 ban would require a two-thirds vote by conference delegates
Environmental groups contend that easing the restrictions would send the wrong signal to poachers and lead to the killing of thousands of elephants in Africa. They blame even talk of an ease for the recent slaughter of 200 elephants in the Congo.
While acknowledging that Zimbabwe, Namibia and Botswana have healthy elephant herds, Barry said in an interview yesterday there
still was too much to other populations elsewhere in Africa.
The U.S. delegation will argue that there are inadequate safeguards to prevent illegal shipments of ivory and that any easing of trade restrictions would undermine efforts against poachers throughout Africa, he said.
The American position is expected to influence other nations, especially Europeans and some African countries that have voiced concern about easing trade restrictions.
"I think it seals the fate of these proposals (to ease sanctions)," said Wayne Pacelle of the Humane Society of the United States. He said that it would take 46 votes to block the three African nations who want to resume trade.
Barry is not as certain and said they would press the issue.
Demand for ivory led to killing hundreds of thousands of African elephants in the 1980s. Their population dropped from 1.3 million in

Lost World falls short
In what is by far the worst movie of the year — and easily the most feeble in Spielberg's amazing career – The Lost World inexplicably stands to make more moolah than any other film in cinema history. And I'm not a happy guy.
By Jeff Ruby
Kansan staff writer
Shame on you, Steven Spielberg.
I'm not even going to try to review it here, since virtually every living being on earth has either seen it already or knows it's about a bunch of dinosaurs attacking a bunch of morons. I just need to vent for a minute or two.
Am I the only one in the world who hated this film? When the blessed final credits rolled after two hours and 15 minutes of agony, the rest of the dino-hungry audience walked out high-fiving one another. I excited the theater feeling more exasperated than Dennis Rodman's therapist.
Maybe it was my horribly queasy hangover. Maybe it was the harshly uncomfortable seats at Lawrence's new Southwind 12 theaters. Or perhaps it was the unbearable shrill DTS sound attacking my poor eardrums from all angles like a pack of angry velocipiators. Whatever the reason, The Lost World was probably the most painful single moviegoing experience I have ever endured. Even the Junior Mints made me sick.
After I joined the ranks of zillions of Americans curious enough to sit through the sequel to 1989's entertaining Jurassic Park, I tried to put my finger on why I hated Steven Spielberg's new film with all my heart. The answer was simple: The Lost World is an atrociously poor movie.
Jeff Goldblum, Vince Vaughn and Julianne Moore are decent character actors, but I sure hope they were paid plentifully to be made fools of by Spielberg. Now that my amazement with the dinosaurs' realism has long passed, what more reason is there to sit through an inferior version of the original film? I guess the rest of the country is still mesmerized by a bloodthirsty T. Rex poking its head in a window.
It's remarkable what people will put up with just to see
MOVIE REVIEW
dinosaurs. Why are we so fascinated with these toothy beasts? So they're big. So they're angry. So they roamed the earth a long time before we did. That's no reason for us to fork over $92 million in four days to watch supposed smart scientist-types doing insultingly stupid things around the brutes.
I can forgive Spielberg for this half-assed effort only because of his accomplishments of the past. But if he even pretends that he's proud of this movie for being anything but a wallet bulker-upper, I vow never to watch Raiders of the Lost Ark again. All I could think throughout The Lost World was the fact that Schindler's List was only a couple of movies ago for Spielberg. That's akin to Michelangelo, after putting the finishing touches on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, deciding it would be a really good idea to do a painting of dogs playing poker.
Spielberg has said that his wish is to be the biggest moneymaker in movies. This I can accept. What I can't stand is seeing him craft formula movies with his eyes closed, when he is capable of so much more, simply because he knows he has happy go-lucky, turn-off-yourbrain-at-the door moviegoers in his pocket.
And why do we buy into it? Because there's nothing better to see? More likely, because we have stopped demanding well-made movies and now are willing to forgo things such as dialogue, characterization and plot development, as long as we get a heaping helping of neato special effects.
Call me a cantankerous old curmudgeon, but this isn't enough for me. I'm not charmed enough by dinosaurs to be punished with recycled themes, no plot and painfully drawn-out scenes. That trailer-hanging-over-the-cliff bit lasted at least 15 minutes when 45 white-knuckle seconds would have sufficed.
Thank you for indulging me. If you disagree, as it seems millions of Americans do, you are contributing to the demise of American cinema.
Then again, so am I.
Renovations raise questions concerning asbestos safety
By Tamara Miller Kansan staff writer
While the Crumbling Classrooms project continues to spur renovation in buildings across campus, construction in classrooms that contain asbestos has administrators and students concerned.
"We are taking every protective measure to ensure that no one is exposed," said Mike Russell, director of the department of environment, health and safety.
Asbestos is a natural mineral that was used in buildings throughout the 1970s for insulation and fire protection. The mineral was linked to lung cancer and banned in the mid-1980s by the federal Environmental Protection Agency.
Patricia Denning, an internal medicine specialist at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said asbestos posed a health risk.
Inhaling microscopic asbestos fibers for many years causes fibers to get lodged in the outer lining of the lungs and cause mesothelioma, a cancer malignancy, Denning said.
EPA regulations require buildings containing asbestos to be identified and monitored by the University of Kansas. If asbestos fibers become airborne because of damage, the asbestos must be removed.
Because many campus buildings
contain asbestos, the University has adopted a strict removal program. Thorough surveys are performed every six months to monitor the asbestos in campus buildings, Russell said.
When rooms with damaged asbestos are renovated, the asbestos is removed and the area blocked off. Air inside the affected space is filtered and checked by a system that calculates the number of airborne asbestos fibers.
Rooms containing undamaged asbestos are maintained and monitored. As long as the asbestos is in good condition, there is no threat, said Johnell Fendley, KU Environmental Program manager.
Others do not agree.
Kristina Hartman, Clifton junior, worked for the department of biology through her sophomore year. She said asbestos should be removed completely.
Asbestos
Russell said the University was more cautious than the EPA required. Federal policy allows for 0.1 asbestos fibers per cubic foot of air.
"A plastic sheet and a sign is not going to protect me from microscopic fibers," Hartman said. "If they are already in there for renovations, why don't they remove the threat altogether?"
"The federal action level is a 0.1.
Asbestos was first recognized as causing lung cancer in ship builders during World War II.

hood that asbestos will contribute
to lung cancer.

but for our workers, its a 0.015." Russell said. "We tend to be more protective than federal regulations require."
Because Crumbling Classrooms is such a large project, an outside agency, Association Insulation, has been contracted for asbestos removal, Russell said.
Russell said high costs were the primary factor against complete asbestos removal. He estimated the project could cost up to $50 million.
Russell said the chance of getting lung cancer from asbestos is one in 10 million. He also said students should concern themselves with more pertinent health risks.
"I'd tell them to quit smoking," he said. "I'd tell them to worry more about driving their cars."

Road construction slows traffic; delays unavoidable
Motorists choose alternate routes
JACOB BREWER
Ashleigh Roberts/ KANSAN
Construction workers repair a broken sewer pipe at the corner of Eighth and Tennessee Streets. Construction is expected to end June 13.
By Ashleigh Roberts
Kansan staff writer
Traffic congestion, delays and temporary lane closings will force Lawrence motorists to put on the brakes as six major street improvement projects get underway.
"It is one heck of a coincidence," Terese Gorman, city engineer, said. "Some of the projects were planned and others just fell into this time frame."
The majority of the projects involve repairing and upgrading traffic signals and turn lanes. Construction sites include Sixth Street and Monterey Way, 23rd and Massachusetts Streets, Sixth Street and Folks Road, and parts of Fourth and Iowa Streets.
Gorman said the city waited until the majority of students left Lawrence, but all traffic problems could not be avoided.
"It's just not possible," she said.
"You have to start before school gets out or else finish after students return. Traffic always picks up, and there will be more cars. But this is construction season."
Gorman said that the city was working with residents to alleviate problems and that the community had been cooperative.
"People will have access to their homes," she said. "There just won't be access for everyone else."
Myia Williams, 801 Tennessee St., lives on a corner that the city has begun sewage restoration. Williams said her basement had flooded to the floor joists last year and that the construction was necessary to maintain the infrastructure of the city
"I don't mind at all," she said. "I had to get used to not going down Eighth Street. You sort of have to meander through the bank, but it's OK."
Williams also said the noise was not disruptive.
"It's noisy every now and then,

but it's not much different from the traffic noise we normally get," she said.
Gorman said the construction would repair a section of sewage pipe that had collapsed sometime last year.
"The repairs needed to be done," she said. "It will has a little way to go before we can reopen the street, but it should be done by June 13."
Road construction projects
Sixth Street and Monterey Way Traffic signal improvements are being made in the left-turn lane at the intersection of Sixth street and Monterey Way. Left turn lanes will be constructed on all four legs of the intersection and a traffic signal will be installed. The project is scheduled to end by October 1.
23rd and Massachusetts Streets A left turn lane will be constructed on 23rd Street, and the traffic signal will be upgraded. A traditional right turn will replace the southbound free-swing one. Work should be done by November 1.
Sixth Street and Folks Road
Sixth Street and Folks Road Left turn lanes will be constructed on the east and west legs of Sixth Street, and a traffic signal will be installed. The intersection should
be open to traffic when school starts, but completion is not expected until early October.
Fourth Street, from McDonald Drive to Michigan
Sixth Street and Iowa and 23rd and Iowa
The road is closed to all through traffic until December 1. Major reconstruction includes a new two lane street, enclosed drainage systems, sidewalks, curbs and a gutter. Access is provided to residents who live on Fourth Street.
Traffic signals are being reconstructed. Temporary lane closings will occur, and motorists can expect periodic traffic congestion and delay. Work is scheduled to end August 1.

Judge bars testimony in McVeigh sentencing
The Associated Press
DENVER — Determined to keep Timothy MeVeigh's sentencing hearing safe, the judge yesterday barred prosecutors from presenting victims' wedding photos, a poem by a victim's father and testimony on funeral arrangements.
U. S. District Judge Richard Matsch also said he would not allow McVeigh's lawyers to turn the hearing into a trial of the government's handling of the siege at Waco.
McVeigh's death penalty hearing should begin today. The jurors who convicted McVeigh of murder and conspiracy Monday will decide whether he should die by lethal injection for the April 19, 1995, bombing that killed 168 people.
"The penalty phase hearing here cannot be turned into some
In addition, Matsch prohibited testimony from any bombing survivors and victims' relatives who may be prejudiced by testimony from the trial.
type of lynching. " Richard Matsie
Richard Matsch U.S. District Judge
"We have to guard this hearing to ensure that the ultimate result and the jury's decision are truly a moral response to appropriate information rather than an emotional response," he
said.
Despite Matsch's rulings, the judge will allow plenty of potentially wrenching testimony, including that of a rescuer who held a hand buried in the rubble, only to feel the pulse stop. Matsch also will allow photos of maimed survivors, pictures of victims being wheeled into hospitals and testimony from the coroner about the various causes of death, including that of a man who died slowly, as evidenced by the gravel in his lungs.
"We can't sanitize this scene," Matsch said.
He struggled with balancing what he called the sometimes conflicting requirements for a penalty hearing, a procedure only vaguely outlined in the law. His chief concern was to prevent inflaming jurors' passions.
"The penalty phase hearing here cannot be turned into some type of a lynching," he said.
Whitewater lawyer criticized
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Lashing out yesterday for the first time, the first family's lawyer, David Kendall, accused Whitewater prosecutors of inflicting leak-and-smear damage on Hillary Rodham Clinton and of violating grand jury secrecy rules.
In a letter sanctioned by President Clinton, Kendall accused prosecutor Kenneth Starr of engaging in "a public relations offensive" that "is wholly inconsistent with your professional obligations as a prosecutor."
Kendall's attack was prompted by a Sunday New York Times story that quoted unnamed prosecutors from Starr's office. It contained plain violations of grand jury secrecy rules imposed on prosecutors, Kendall wrote.
Three former prosecutors sided
AW - OLL
with Kendall, saying the article indeed raised questions about the conduct of Starr and his prosecutors. Michael Zeldin, a former Department of Justice lawyer, was one such prosecutor.
Hillary Clinton
"What Ken Starr has done with the New York Times piece is outrageous," Zeldin said. "It's antithetical to everything we've learned as prosecutors and as independent counsels, and he should be ashamed of himself."
White House press secretary Mike McCurry said Kendall discussed the
letter with Clinton. "He agrees with the sentiments conveyed by Mr. Kendall." McCurry said.
Deborah Gershman, a representative for Starr, said the prosecutor was traveling to Little Rock, Ark., and would likely have a comment after reviewing the letter.
Kendall wrote to Starr, "What is needed is a wholehearted commitment to winding up this investigation in an appropriate way. This means not chasing every rainbow or every partisan rumor, whether in the hope of wounding or destroying a target, or for any other reason.
"The present public posturing on your part suggests to me a total loss of perspective: I don't believe that there's ever been a jugular here for you to go for, but in the last several months, you've demonstrated an unerring instinct for the capillary."

It was the third Marine-leed evacuation since mutinous soldiers overthrew the West African nation's elected government on May 25 in a bloody coup. Nigeria, which backs the deposed government, sent in new troops yesterday and appeared poised for another assault.

North Pole conquered
LONDON — Three months and 1,200 miles after setting out from Siberia, two men have become the first British explorers to complete an unsupported trip to the North Pole.
The Associated Press
Stephen Martin, 41, and David Mitchell, 34, reached the North Pole on Monday, the expedition organizers said, and will celebrate their success in Resolute Bay, Canada, after being picked up by airplane.
"Stephen and Dave have done it, and they have done it the hard way," said Laurence Howell, the expedition's communications officer, who was in weekly radio contact from the expedition headquarters in Aberdeen. "They have made a bit of history."
Their sleds were so heavy — about 440 pounds each — that both men had to pull one sled for about two miles and then return for the second one. The team also carried all of its food and equipment.
The two men, who attempted the same trek in 1994, set out from the Russian Asiatic Siberian coast on March 3. For the first 50 days, they struggled against southerly winds that whipped up snow storms.
The two men filmed the trip for a documentary to be aired by Britain's Channel 4 network. In 1990, Norwegians Boerge Ousland and Erling Kagge became the first to ski to the North Pole without help; Ousland made a solo trip in 1993.

Improvements should be made by the year 2000
Rebecca Osladl
Kansan staff writer
Penzer Architects, P.A., in association with HOK sports, will make renovations to Allen Field House and Memorial Stadium. As a result, prices for students' 'season tickets will increase $6 to help pay for the improvements.
The millennium will mark the start of a new experience for those who attend University of Kansas sporting events at Memorial Stadium and Allen Field House.
Glenn Livingood Penzler Architects, P.A., in association with HOK Sports, has been selected, as the sports design team, to make renovations to the stadium and enhancements to the fieldhouse. Renovations will begin immediately and should be completed by the year 2000.
"The primary focus is to improve the fan experience by making it a much more friendly place to be," said Bob Frederick, athletic director.
Pat Warren, assistant to the athletic director, said enhancements to the stadium and the field house would cost an estimated $24.4 million. He also said that funding would come from private contributions and a slight increase in ticket prices.
"Prices for students will increase $6 a year for season tickets," Warren said. "This way only those who want to use the facilities will pay a little extra for them."
Warren said it was important that students understand that their tuition would not increase as a result of the renovations.
"This is a really exciting project," Warren said. "The fan experience is foremost in our minds. We have a great setting for the stadium, but we need better facilities to enjoy the setting."
Memorial Stadium was built in 1921 and was the first athletic structure built on a university campus west of the Mississippi River. Kraig Penzler, one of the leading architects on the new project, said that although there had been some work performed on the stadium since that time, it had not received routine maintenance.
Penzler also said that the stadium was not up to par with other
Renovations to the stadium will include building ticket windows, general circulation concourse areas and twice as many restrooms and concession stands. Premier seating, which includes luxury suites, premier sections and club level seating areas, will be developed. Other enhancements will also be added, like making structural repairs and upgrading the long-term maintenance needs.
sports stadiums.
new drinking fountains, more accessible entrances and concessions area improvements. Most of the improvements will provide easier access for handicapped fans.
Spectator amenities will also be enhanced at Allen Field House, which was built in the 1950s. These enhancements will include a new elevator, new restrooms,
The architects and officials in the athletic department are meeting this week for a design meeting in which the specific plans for the stadium will be discussed.
Darren Cook, director of facilities for the athletic department, said that the first change would be the lighting.
"We are finally going to buy our own field light, so we will not have to rent them anymore." Cook said. Glenn Livinggood, Penzler Archi
Glenn Livingood Penzler Architects has done extensive work with similar types of projects in the past, including the 1996 Summer Olympics Venue Management and World Cup Soccer 1994.
HOK Sport has designed or been involved in the design of more than 350 arena and stadium projects worldwide for public sector clients, professional sports franchises, colleges and universities.
"It's all for the fans and making the experience better for them," Penzler said.
And he also said that he hoped the improvements would attract more fans.
"I want KU to get the attention it deserves," Penzler said.

Time Warner CEO's son found dead in his home
NEW YORK — The schoolteacher son of Time Warner's chief executive was found bound and shot to death in his apartment.
Police said yesterday they had no motive and no suspects in the slaying of 31-year-old Jonathan Levin. There was no sign of a break-in, said police representative Noreen Murray.
Levin's father, Gerald Levin, has been chairman and chief executive of Time Warner for four years.
Co-workers from Taft High School sent police to Jonathan Levin's apartment on Monday night after he failed to show up for work .
His body was discovered face down, his feet were bound with duct tape and he was shot in the head.
Neighbors described Levin as a humble man who never mentioned his family's wealth.
Scuffle raises awareness of supremacist activity
The incident landed two men in jail and sent a female officer to the hospital.
WICHITA — City police said they may begin keeping lists of skin-heads similar to their lists of other street gangs after a weekend disturbance by suspected skinheads and white supremacists.
Police responding to complaints of loud music Saturday night found a hostile crowd that included people with Nazi tattoos. One police officer, a Black woman, was pushed off a stage set up and suffered a minor knee injury.
Deputy Chief Norman Williams said gang intelligence officers hadn't seen evidence of organized skinhead activity before Saturday's disturbance.

Salmonella cases reported
A RAVEN
By Crystal Honores Kansan staff writer
Bacteria infects many in northern Kansas counties
Recent sufferers of diarrhea and stomach cramping are discovering that they have been infected with something more than the typical flug. They are among 78 reported cases of salmonella infantis in northeastern Kansas.
Patricia Denning, a physician at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that Watkins had treated a handful of students for the infection.
Cases have been reported predominantly in Johnson and Wyandotte counties. But the infection has also been reported in Douglas, Reno and Lyon counties.
Denning said that salmonella was a type of bacteria that could cause a gastrointestinal infection. Symptoms may include diarrhea, blood in the stool, fever, cramps and abdominal pain.
Stephen Archibald, a KU postdocort student, was infected with salmonella three weeks ago. He said he suspected that the salmonella came from some eggs he had eaten.
Archibald said his first symptom was a fever, but he then developed stomach cramps and diarrhea.
"That was really nasty. That really sort of kept me up most the night," Archibald said.
He was diagnosed with salmonella at Watkins and was put on antibiotics for 10 days.
"I still have to provide another
stool sample for a culture to check
that it's gone. I guess they just want
to make sure that there are no traces
left." Archibald said.
The Kansas Department of Health
and Environment labels many foods as high-risk and also suggests that consumers pay attention to expiration dates and handling, cooking, cleaning and storage procedures.
Fruits and vegetables are the health department's most notable exceptions to the list of high-risk foods.
Denning said that salmonella also may be transmitted by oral-fecal contact. Denning said this transmission could be prevented by good hand-washing habits, especially after using the restroom and before handling food.
Don Brown of the health department said people who suspect that they may have salmonella should contact a doctor. He said that a medical professional could not only recognize the infection and treat the individual but that a doctor could immediately report the infection to the health department.
The health department so far has
not been able to find the source responsible for this outbreak.
"We've been doing a series of interviews with all the people that have reported this illness," Brown said. "We're trying to find a common denominator. We have established that not all victims have eaten at the same restaurant or gone to the same picnic, so we're concentrating our efforts more towards the wholesale food distribution level."
A new approach to finding the source is DNA testing.
"Much like a crime lab can match a criminal to a crime scene based on the DNA that's left, we're using that same technology to match this organism between the cases," Brown said. "If the DNA of the salmonella matches, we know that those cases have the same source. Most, if not all, of these cases are matching up through the DNA testing."
Brown said that once the health department had found the source, it

would then locate the contaminated food products and remove them from the shelves.
"From that point we would go on with educational efforts and working with whoever was responsible," Brown said. "We don't want to just find out what's wrong, we want to correct it, so it doesn't happen again."
RINGIN' OF THE BELLS
Carillon guild event draws players from across the continent
By Rebecca Osladil
Kansan staff writer
Melodious sounds from the bells of the carillon will roll down the hills of the KU campus much more frequently this week.
The KU Department of Music and Dance is the host of the 55th Congress of the Guild of Carillonneurs in North America. The event began yesterday and will continue through Saturday.
Janet Dundore, a carillonneur from the Philadelphia area, said that the carillon
was the largest, heaviest instrument in the world and could be heard across the largest distance. These factors make it an ideal instrument for those who wish to reach large audiences.
"It's a great way to play instruments for the pub." Dun-
"When you can touch a lot of people it's an amazing thing."
Janet Dundore carillonneur
dore said. "When you can touch a lot of people it's an amazing thing. You never know who's listening."
Approximately 130 carillonneurs have gathered in Lawrence for this event, which is held annually at carillons across the country.
Holmberg said the carillon was a unique instrument that consisted of cast bronze cup-shaped bells arranged in chromatic series and played from a keyboard made of wooden batons. Pedal keys for the feet, much like those of an organ, are used to control the bells as well.
"KU's carillon is ranked in the top four in the United States in terms of location and surroundings," said Mark Holmberg, associate professor of music theory and composition. "I feel fortunate to be able to play here."
The KU carillon is inside the World War II Memorial Campanile, which was dedicated in 1951. It is one of nearly 200 carilions in North America and is recognized as one of the finest carilions in the world.
Holmberg was appointed assistant University carillonneur in 1976 after studying the instrument for two years with Albert Gerken. University carillonneur.
Gerken holds weekly recitals during the summer. He plays at 3 p.m. Sundays and 8 p.m. Wednesdays.
Richard Watson, carillon designer and builder from Ohio who helped to renovate
the carillon bells, said the Lawrence convention was postponed in 1994 and 1995 when the carillon was extensively renovated. He said this renovation included replacing the keyboard and rehanging the bells.
Mark Holmberg, associate professor of music theory and composition at the University of Kansas, plays on the practice carillon inside the Campanile. Holmberg is participating in the 55th annual Congress of the Guild of Carillonneurs in North America, which will hold recitals at the Campanile every night at 7 and 8 until Saturday. The members of the Congress, who will be attending seminars and other presentations during the week on campus, will be practice throughout the week at the Campanile.

The KU carillon contains 53 bells; however, this number is not necessarily the standard. The number of bells varies from one instrument to another. The only stipulation is that the carillon must contain at least two octaves.
"It had 50 years of use and we've learned a lot about the design of carilons since then," said Richard Watson. "Now it should last 50 to 100 years without major work."

"People have often told me that you have to be half crazy and half monkey to play this instrument, and I'd say that's just about right," said Dundore.
Recital schedule
This week's recital schedule
Today: 7:45 and 8:45 p.m.
Tomorrow: 5 and 6 p.m.
Friday: 7:30 and 8:30 p.m.

The bells can be heard all day long in addition to these recitals. A daily schedule of performers is posted in the campanile.
Focus of trial now shifts to penalty deliberations
Guilty verdict brings relief to University
By Sean Demory and Paul Eakins
Kansan staff writers
The trial left some people satisfied with the outcome, others worried about what the penalty might be and a few were glad it had ended.
University of Kansas students and professors had mixed reactions to the conviction of Timothy McVeigh on Monday in the Oklahoma City bombing case.
Leigh Zahner, Overland Park junior, said the government, although correct, may have been too willing to rush to judgment in the trial.
"I think he was guilty, but I also feel that the media and the government were looking for someone to pinpoint and that it was very easy for them to find him guilty," she said.
Timothy McVelgh
Zahner said the death penalty was a sufficient punishment for McVeigh.
"Assuming that he is guilty," Zahner said, "I think the death penalty is almost an easy way out. I think that, for all he's done, he should have to spend the rest of his life in jail."
McVeigh was convicted of bombing the Murrah Federal Building two years ago, leaving 168 people dead.
He was convicted on counts of conspiracy, use of a weapon of mass destruction, destruction of a federal building by explosives and eight counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of eight federal agents.
The case now is in the penalty phase, in which the jury will decide whether to give McVeigh the death penalty or life imprisonment.
Oklahoma prosecutors plan to try McVeigh for 168 counts of first-degree murder for the other deaths caused by the bombing.
David Gottlieb, professor of law, said the number of charges was not extreme. He also said the death penalty wasn't necessarily a foregone conclusion in this case.
"There hasn't been anyone executed for committing a federal crime in more than 30 years, and the jury isn't obligated to punish McVeigh one way or another." Gottlieb said.
Whitney Black, Wichita senior, said she opposed the death penalty, but McVeigh deserved life in prison.
However, she said she and many of her friends did not care much about the trial after the overexposure of the O.J. Simpson trial by the media.
"Trials aren't as meaningful anymore." Black said. "People's emotions don't run as strong."
Ron Francisco, professor and chair of the political science department, said he that the trial had been straightforward.
"The prosecution presented overwhelming evidence against McViegh." Francisco said.
He said the most interesting part of the case would come if and when McVeigh spoke.
"The curious thing about the whole McVeigh thing is that if he really believed everything that he wrote, why didn't he say he did it? He didn't talk at all." Francisco said.

No suspect found in campus assault
Kansan staff report
Lawrence police have not yet located a suspect in the kidnapping and rape of a KU student at Naishtm Hall during spring finals.
Lawrence police Detective John Lewis said his department still
was working on the case.
"The investigation is continuing, and we are following all lea ds,"
A. A. K.
Rape suspect
Police said the woman
had just gotten out of her car in the parking lot of the private residence hall when a man forced her at gunpoint to get back into her car. The man drove the woman's car to an unknown residential area and raped her outside of the vehicle.
Police said after driving the woman to another location the man exited the car and told the woman to drive away.
Lewis said initially Lawrence police contacted police departments in the Kansas City area to rule out a connection between this incident and several similar cases.
"We contacted the agencies to compare the crimes," Lewis said.
"... it is our obligation to let our students know of such situations..."
Gayle Reece KU police officer
"But at this point it doesn't look like the cases are related."
KU police officer Gayle Reece said although the KU police department was not handling the investigation, it had distributed fliers about the crime and the suspect.
The fliers include a computer composite and description of the suspect. He is described as a Caucasian male, 20 to 29 years of age, 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall, with dark hair, a beard and a mustache.
"We disseminated crime alert fliers because it is our obligation to let our students know of such situations so that they can be on the lookout for the perpetrator," Reece said.
Domestic abuse brings Williams to court today
Kansan staff report
Former KU basketball player B.J. Williams will appear in court today on charges of domestic abuse.
Lawrence police Detective John Lewis said Williams was
arrested at his home early Saturday morning after Williams' wife said he had hit her in the face.
N.J.
"There was a visible sign of injury," Lewis said. "There was redness near the left eye."
B. J. Williams
Lewis said the incident began when Williams and his wife argued about a party he had attended earlier in the evening.
"He had been at the party, and she saw him talking to other people," Lewis said. "It was a group of females."
Lewis said Williams' wife reported that their argument escalated until Williams knocked her down, pulled her into the house and struck her.
Williams was released from the Douglas County jail Saturday afternoon on his own recognition.

Campus soda prices up 10 cents
Cost has increased for first time in 11 years
By Tom Winter
Kansan staff writer
Students may find themselves scrambling for change to purchase soda across campus this summer.
KU Concessions and Kansas Union Food Services both have raised the price of soft drinks.
The price of a can of soda jumped to 60 cents on May 29. This is an increase of 10 cents from last semester.
Pat Beard, manager of building services and director of KU Concessions, said this was the first vending machine price adjustment in more than a decade.
Beard was one of the men who recommended the increase.
"It's been 11 years since we've had increases, and in all of that time we've had other increases come to us, pay increases and increases in machine costs," Beard said. "The Unions used to be sales tax exempt on vending enunment."
Beard said the 6.9 percent state sales tax now is incorporated into vending sales.
In addition to the vending machines, there also has been a 10 cent increase in the cost of a cup of soda in Wescoe, Union Square, the Hawk's Nest and the Burge Union.
Jay Glatz, manager of food services for the Kansas Union, recommended the price increase.
"It's been 11 years since we've had increases and all of that time we've had other increases come to us, pay increases and increases in machine
Pat Board Manager of Building Services and Director of KU Concessions
"There were two reasons for my recommendation," Glatz said. "First, there has been an increase in the cost of paper goods. Second, there has been an increase in the minimum wage."
Although the increases are campuswide, neither Glatz nor Beard anticipate increased revenue for their departments.
Beard said KU Concessions was accommodating the department's decrease in income because of lower enrollment in the past few years. He said that this was expected to be the last price increase for several years.

City commission should rein in Lawrence's rapid rate of growth
The Lawrence City Commission needs to pay more attention to its constituents.
This is old news. Most of us have seen with our own eyes that the city is growing rapidly. We have watched the boundaries of the city expand into the countryside.
According to an article in Sunday's Lawrence Journal-World, the population of Lawrence is increasing at an annual growth rate of 2.33 percent, and at current rates, the population is projected to reach 82,616 people by the year 2000. In 1990 the population was 65,698.
However, we cannot see the views of those around us. Judging by the amount of development that city officials have prompted and supported, one would guess that their constituents want this growth as well.
But the Journal-World article informed us that, as it said in the headline, the "city is divided over pace of growth." A survey was done by a University of Kansas public administration class, in which 348 Lawrence residents were asked their opinions about numerous city issues, including growth.
Forty-six percent of local residents oppose speed of community development.
The result? Fifty percent said that the city's growth was about right, while 46 percent said it was too fast. Four percent said the city's growth was too slow. The survey had a margin of error of 5 percent.
So, with near fifty percent opposition to the current rate of growth, one might ask a few questions about the actions of the city commission. Why does the commission seem to be attempting to
bring in as many national chains as possible, such as The Gap, Borders bookstore and Hv-Vee?
The city commission voted to spend $100,000 of the taxpayers' money on a parking lot next to the future site of Borders. Of course, it is to be a "city lot" for use by anyone, but when placed next door to Borders, it is not hard to guess which store's customers and employees will use the lot the most.
Why does the city keep pushing the boundaries of the city farther out, promoting development at a rate faster than is necessary, faster than the city infrastructure can handle, and faster than nearly half of the citizens of Lawrence want?
The city commission needs to reevaluate its actions, think about what its constituents want, and attempt to make the necessary changes. The city is growing too quickly, and many residents of Lawrence know it.
PAUL EAKINS FOR THE EDITORIAL BOARD
Buyer beware: ads are insults
Joe Camel is only a symptom of the problem.
In 1991, a survey showed that 91 percent of first graders could recognize Joe Camel, as many as recognized Mickey Mouse.
For years, the makers of Camel cigarettes ignored theories that its cartoonish mascot appealed to the young while watching its share of the teen smoker's market jump ten percent in five years.
Now Joe Camel is on the hit list. He's on the verge of being out of work or, even more telling, involved in "I stopped... don't start" anti-smoking public service announcements. His significance as a symbol is seen as sick, wrong and unique in the advertising world.
In targeting this campaign we ignore the fact that, day in and day out, advertising targets the young without so much as a second thought. We also ignore the fact that few suppliers of goods are willing to use advertising that doesn't work at some level.
Tobacco groups not alone in targeting youngsters with cartoon campaigns
In a Center for Alcohol Awareness survey released two years ago, more fourth and fifth graders recognized the Budweiser frogs than recognized the Power Rangers or Tony the Tiger. The Anheuser-Busch company, when faced with this information, didn't blink an eye.
ception of its consumers. Perhaps they do see us as savages who can be entranced by small shiny objects or the novelty of animals that talk. Perhaps, in their eyes, we are nothing more than cargo cultivars waiting for mass-produced manna to float down from the skies.
Perhaps these ad campaigns simply are a reflection of corporate America's per-
Or, perhaps the "get 'em young" school of marketing has been a powerful weapon since advertising began. Perhaps the advertising industry sees children as a tool, a second spokesperson when we're in the supermarket and a solid second market once they're old enough to pretend to be older.
Perhaps, by making a statement with our dollars, we can get advertisers to see that pandering to us is an insult, rather than a useful tool.

really accomplished something with your day when you manage to take to shower. When you secretly envy your roommate for having a reason to rise before noon. When you plan your hours around TBS's showing of Weekend at Bernie's.
One can only assume that students who remain in Lawrence during these months are here to serve some sort of punishment
(i.e. jail time, summer classes) or just were too lazy to make other arrangements in a better summer town (i.e. it's really hard to find a good apartment in Hell this time of year).

By mid-June, that old friend you never called during the school year now is on your phone's speed dial because no one else is around. You want to go out and do something, but you can't think of anything better to do than go see a movie. And like the rest of the brainwashed country, you find yourself wandering like a zombie into a theater to stare at yet another movie about angry dinosaurs, salivating at the thought of a couple hours of entertainment that won't bankrupt your brain.
By July, you'll swear this wasn't the same town that was energized and bustling with loud folks during graduation weekend in May. You begin to miss the obnoxious alumni who overrun the town every Saturday for football games. You fondly recall the unbearable long wait to get into Free State. The crowds and vitality are replaced by silence and sloth. You catch yourself yelling at your neighbor for playing his "unbearably loud" James Taylor CD after 9 p.m.
You feel a distinct sadness when you finish reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, or whatever unreadable book you've finally found the time for, because what the hell are you going to do now? Various drastic ways to break out of the rut occur to you as you're lying in bed. Shave your head? Rearrange your furniture? Roadtrip to Graceland? Instead you watch reruns that weren't
You start inventing time-killers to push you from one day to the next. You look at old photos. You know it's gotten bad when you make mix tapes on consecutive days. Next thing you know, you hit rock bottom and find yourself enthusiastically singing Take Me Out to the Ballgame with Harry Caray during the seventh inning stretch of the Cubs-Reds game on WGN.
even good the first time around and consider the walk to Burrito King your daily exercise.
But as the months drift by, you start to realize something. There are worse places you could be. Wichita, for example, where the best midsummer entertainment often centers around trying to win stuffed animals by feeding quarters into that machine at Perkins with the giant claw. You know, the one that drops down into the pile of toy giraffes, elephants and bunnies, and invariably comes up with nothing but air and frustration. Lawrence begins to seem like a pretty decent place by comparison.
You learn that those who inhabit our town in the summer are infinitely cooler than the Jayhawk rowdies who rough up the town for nine months. The trippy guy in the Phish shirt you see daily throwing a frisbee with his mango Black Lab Murph stops irritating you and begins adding to the color of the town. You're not going to have that 14-shots-of-tequila-at-Louise's-and-falling-down-on-Mass-Street brand of fun. Once you accept this fact, you'll find a new appreciation for the solitude of sitting on your porch mellowly drinking a beer, watching the sun disappear behind the trees.
When August rolls around, you find yourself grumbling about how the town is getting too crowded again. How you didn't get your usual booth in the beer garden at the Replay because it's Hawk Week. How all these damn U-Hauls are blocking traffic on Tennessee and some stupid freshman's parents are driving the wrong way down Kentucky. How the town just isn't the same.
Trust me, by the beginning of September, you'll be nostalgic for those quiet moments when you got to share a beautiful town with the lucky few smart enough to be in on the secret allure of Lawrence in the summer. Soon you'll join those the ranks if those who spend the spring months counting the days until May, when Lawrence truly becomes theirs again.
Enjoy it while you can.

I must admit my secret shame: I was a farmer's wife.
Children's game raises moral question in Utah
For those of you who don't remember, The Farmer in the Dell is a game in which kids portraying a farmer and his wife. pair off and
other children sing. The odd person out is declared the "cheese" and gets to stand alone.
I was in a largely male preschool class, and I dimly recall playing the Farmer in the Dell. I've been told that I was a farmer, a wife and cheese at some point in my life. I didn't take this as seriously as some people have, however.
SEAN DEMORY
Parents heard about this rampant, free-love hedonism and decided to take a stand. Petitions were circulated and a joint meeting of the school board and the city council swelled with more than 200 people, a significantly larger number than the parents of Mott's students.
According to an Associated Press story, the citizens of Brigham City, Utah, have struck a blow in a fight that wasn't. Their field of battle: The Farmer in the Dell.
Renee Mott, a kindergarten teacher in Brigham City who had more girls in her class than boys, allowed girls to be chosen as farmers when playing Farmer in the Dell. Some of these girls chose other girls to be their wives. In a class with more girls than boys, this was inevitable.
The response was extreme, to say the least.
"I know these things may happen in other
places, but this is Brigham City," said Janabell Millett. "We can't let that kind of pollution into our town. And into our kindergarten, no less!"
When asked why she allowed this shameless, free-love hedonism to happen, Mott said "I just wanted all the children to have a turn."
LeClare Moffatt, a member of the city council, responded "I don't care how 'innocent' this thing started. If not all the students get a turn, that's just too bad. There are more important issues at stake here."
Parents started an action committee and plan to sue the school board and the kindergarten for psychic damage to their children. They've got a local law stating that boys must be chosen first for the farmer role. They have conceded, however, to reserve the role of cheese for a girl.
"That should be enough to make anyone happy," concluded School Board President Jack Peterson.
How much, one is forced to wonder, can a child's psyche be healed if he or she is told that the game that a teacher has taught is wrong? How much healing can occur when a girl is told that she must either be connected to a man or alone?
The parents also have drafted a law for the state legislature that would ban all playacting of same-sex marriages in public schools.
A willingness to protect their children has turned a non-issue into a central issue. I'd like to believe that this is an isolated thing, but after the furor surrounding "Ellen," I'm not so sure.
What lessons do these parents want their children to learn?

New theater invades Lawrence
By Sean Demory Kansan staff writer
Like something from a 1950s science fiction movie, a behemoth landed on the southwest corner of Lawrence this spring, silently appearing and growing with every passing day.
HOLLYWOOD THEATERS
This invader, though, claims to come in peace.
The Southwind 12 theaters, 3433 Iowa St., has been partially open since the end of the spring semester, with seven of its planned 12 theaters screening first-run films. An adult ticket is $6 for evening shows.
The Southwind 12 is owned by Hollywood Theaters, a Dallas company that also owns the Hillcrest, Varsity and Crown Cinema theaters in Lawrence.
Upon its anticipated June 17 completion, the theater will almost double the number of first-run movie screens in Lawrence.
Asbleigh Roberts/KANSAN
Jon Ratzlaff, Southwind 12 house manager, said the theater's entry into the Lawrence market may serve a useful purpose for area theaters.
"With the mass of movies that comes out now, way too often a movie that's doing well has to be moved out quickly to let the next one in," Ratzlaff said. "Now, movies can do business for a lot longer."
David Innes, general manager of Dickinson Theater, 2339 Iowa St.,
agreed.
"It might be less likely that a movie will stick around for a long time. We won't see another 20-week run like "Forrest Gump" again," Innes said. "The same number of people will be going to the shows, but they'll all be there in the first week or two."
Innes said the Lawrence market could support the new theater.
"If the screens Southwind 12 Theaters, 3433 Iowa St., now is open for movie goers to enjoy mainstream films are there, the pro-The theater will double the number of first-run movies screens in Lawrence.
nies will fill them," Innes said. "If we build them, they'll come."
Innes said that the size of Lawrence made competition between area theaters nonexistent.
"The city isn't big enough to have the same film sent to more than one theater," he said. "From the consumer standpoint, this will just give movie goers more nice places to see a movie."
He said the theater would show mainstream films, but they are
also interested in showing art films.
"Of course," he said, "who wants to steal money from Liberty Hall?"
to steal money from Liberty Hall?" Ratzlaff, who was previously a manager at the Varsity Theater, 1015 Massachusetts St., said Southwind 12 had a number of features that would make the movie companies favor it at first.

Environmental groups contend that easing the restrictions would send the wrong signal to poachers and lead to the killing of thousands of elephants in Africa. They blame even talk of an ease for the recent slaughter of 200 elephants in the Congo.
WASHINGTON — The United States will oppose any attempt by African nations to resume trade of rare African elephant parts, said Clinton administration officials vesterdav.
Some environmental groups have raised concerns over a call by Zimbabwe and two of its neighbors, Namibia and Botswana, to resume limited commercial trade in elephant ivory.
Protection of the African elephant is expected to be the most contentious issue facing the 136 delegates meeting next week in Zimbabwe at the Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species. The group, known as CITES, imposed a trade ban on African elephant parts in 1989.
Deputy Interior Secretary Don Barry, who will head the U.S. delegation, said yesterday that the United States would oppose any
changes that would allow even limited resumption of trading in African ivory.
"These proposals would pose unacceptable risks to elephant populations," the Interior Department said in a statement.
Zimbabwe, Namibia and Botswana, argued that their elephant herds are thriving and said they would ask the conference to allow a controlled resumption of ivory exports to Japan. Any change in the 1989 ban would require a two-thirds vote by conference delegates.
The U.S. delegation will argue that there are inadequate safeguards to prevent illegal shipments of ivory and that any easing of trade restrictions would undermine efforts against poachers throughout Africa, he said.
still was too much risk to other populations elsewhere in Africa.
The American position is expected to influence other nations, especially Europeans and some African countries that have voiced concern about easing trade restrictions.
"I think it seals the fate of these proposals (to ease sanctions)," said Wayne Pacelle of the Humane Society of the United States. He said that it would take 46 votes to block the three African nations who want to resume trade.
Barry is not as certain and said they would press the issue.
"These proposals would pose an unacceptable threat to elephant populations."
Statement from the United States Interior Department
1979 to about 600,000 in 1989 when the species was put under CITES protection. There are now believed to be between 300,000 and 550,000 elephants, although the health of the populations vary from country to country.

Lost World falls short
By Jeff Ruby Kansan staff writer
In what is by far the worst movie of the year — and easily the most feeble in Spielberg's amazing career - The Lost World inexplicably stands to make more moolah than any other film in cinema history. And I'm not a happy guy.
Shame on you, Steven Spielberg
I'm not even going to try to review it here, since virtually every living being on earth has either seen it already or knows it's about a bunch of dinosaurs attacking a bunch of morons. I just need to vent for a minute or two.
Am I the only one in the world who hated this film? When the blessed final credits rolled after two hours and 15 minutes of agony, the rest of the dino-hungry audience walked out high-fiving one another. I excited the theater feeling more exasperated than Dennis Rodman's therapist.
Maybe it was my horribly quasy hangover. Maybe it was the harshly uncomfortable seats at Lawrence's new Southwind 12 theaters. Or perhaps it was the unbearably shrill DTS sound attacking my poor eardrums from all angles like a pack of angry voicelippers. Whatever the reason, The Lost World was probably the most painful single moviegoing experience I have ever endured. Even the Junior Mints made me sick.
After I joined the ranks of zillions of Americans curious enough to sit through the sequel to 1993's entertaining Jurassic Park, I tried to put my finger on why I hated Steven Spielberg's new film with all my heart. The answer was simple: *The Lost World* is an atrociously poor movie.
Jeff Goldblum, Vince Vaughn and Julianne Moore are decent character actors, but I sure hope they were paid plentifully to be made fools of by Spielberg. Now that my amazement with the dinosaurs' realism has long passed, what more reason is there to sit through an inferior version of the original film? I guess the rest of the country is still mesmerized by a bloodthirsty T. Rex poking its head in a window.
It's remarkable what people will put up with just to see
MOVIE REVIEW
dinosaurs. Why are we so fascinated with these toothy beasts? So they're big. So they're angry. So they roamed the earth a long time before we did. That's no reason for us to fork over $92 million in four days to watch supposed smart scientist-types doing insultingly stupid things around the brutes.
I can forgive Spielberg for this half-assed effort only because of his accomplishments of the past. But if he even pretends that he's proud of this movie for being anything but a wallet bulker-upper, I vow never to watch Raiders of the Lost Ark again. All I could think throughout The Lost World was the fact that Schindler's List was only a couple of movies ago for Spielberg. That's akn to Michelangelo, after putting the finishing touches on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, deciding it would be a really good idea to do a painting of dogs playing poker.
Spielberg has said that his wish is to be the biggest moneymaker in movies. This I can accept. What I can't stand is seeing him craft formula movies with his eyes closed, when he is capable of so much more, simply because he knows he has happy go-lucky, turn-off-your-brain-at-the door moviegoers in his pocket.
And why do we buy into it? Because there's nothing better to see? More likely, because we have stopped demanding well-made movies and now are willing to forgo things such as dialogue, characterization and plot development, as long as we get a heaping helping of neato special effects.
Call me a cantankerous old curmudgeon, but this isn't enough for me. I'm not charmed enough by dinosaurs to be punished with recycled themes, no plot and painfully drawn-out scenes. That trailer-hanging-over-the-cliff bit lasted at least 15 minutes when 45 white-knuckle seconds would have sufficed.
Thank you for indulging me. If you disagree, as it seems millions of Americans do, you are contributing to the demise of American cinema.
Renovations raise questions concerning asbestos safety
Kansan staff writer
By Tamara Miller Kansan staff writer
While the Crumbling Classrooms project continues to spur renovation in buildings across campus, construction in classrooms that contain asbestos has administrators and students concerned.
"We are taking every protective measure to ensure that no one is exposed," said Mike Russell, director of the department of environment, health and safety.
Asbestos is a natural mineral that was used in buildings throughout the 1970s for insulation and fire protection. The mineral was linked to lung cancer and banned in the mid-1980s by the federal Environmental Protection Agency.
Patricia Denning, an internal medicine specialist at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said asbestos posed a health risk.
Inhaling microscopic asbestos fibers for many years causes fibers to get lodged in the outer lining of the lungs and cause mesothelioma, a cancer malignancy. Denning said.
EPA regulations require buildings containing asbestos to be identified and monitored by the University of Kansas. If asbestos fibers become airborne because of damage, the asbestos must be removed.
Because many campus buildings
When rooms with damaged asbestos are renovated, the asbestos is removed and the area blocked off. Air inside the affected space is filtered and checked by a system that calculates the number of airborne asbestos fibers.
contain asbestos, the University has adopted a strict removal program. Thorough surveys are performed every six months to monitor the asbestos in campus buildings, Russell said.
Rooms containing undamaged asbestos are maintained and monitored. As long as the asbestos is in good condition, there is no threat, said Johnn Fendley, KU Environmental Program manager.
Others do not agree.
Kristina Hartman, Clifton junior, worked for the department of biology through her sophomore year. She said asbestos should be removed completely.
Russell said the University was more cautious than the EPA required. Federal policy allows for 0.1 asbestos fibers per cubic foot of air.
Asbestos
"A plastic sheet and a sign is no going to protect me from microscopic fibers," Hartman said. "If they are already in there for renovations, why don't they remove the threat altogether?"
The federal action level is a 0.1,
Asbestos was first recognized as causing lung cancer in ship builders during World War II.
Smoking increases the likelihood that asbestos will contribute to lung cancer.
Asbestos can cause pulmonary fibrosis, a disease in which the lungs lose elasticity, which decreases oxygenation.
Symptoms may not be recognized for up to 15 years.
but for our workers, its a 0.015," Russell said. "We tend to be more protective than federal regulations require."
Because Crumbling Classrooms is such a large project, an outside agency, Association Insulation, has been contracted for asbestos removal, Russell said.
Russell said high costs were the primary factor against complete astosbest removal. He estimated the project could cost up to $50 million.
Russell said the chance of getting lung cancer from asbestos is one in 10 million. He also said students should concern themselves with more pertinent health risks.
"Id tell them to quit smoking," he said. "I'd tell them to worry more about driving their cars."

Road construction slows traffic; delays unavoidable
Motorists choose alternate routes
Joe Hogan
Construction workers repair a broken sewer pipe at the corner of Eighth and Tennessee Streets. Construction is expected to end June 13.
By Ashleigh Roberts Kansan staff writer
Traffic congestion, delays and temporary lane closings will force Lawrence motorists to put on the brakes as six major street improvement projects get underway.
"It is one heck of a coincidence," Terese Gorman, city engineer, said. "Some of the projects were planned and others just fell into this time frame."
The majority of the projects involve repairing and upgrading traffic signals and turn lanes. Construction sites include Sixth Street and Monterey Way, 23rd and Massachusetts Streets, Sixth Street and Folks Road, and parts of Fourth and Iowa Streets.
Gorman said the city waited until the majority of students left Lawrence, but all traffic problems could not be avoided.
"It's just not possible," she said.
"You have to start before school gets out or else finish after students return. Traffic always picks up, and there will be more cars. But this is construction season."
Gorman said that the city was working with residents to alleviate problems and that the community had been cooperative.
"People will have access to their homes," she said. "There just won't be access for everyone else."
Myia Williams, 801 Tennessee St., lives on a corner that the city has begun sewage restoration. Williams said her basement had flooded to the floor joists last year and that the construction was necessary to maintain the infrastructure of the city.
"I don't mind at all," she said. "I had to get used to not going down Eighth Street. You sort of have to meander through the bank, but it's OK."
Williams also said the noise was not disruptive.
"It's noisy every now and then,
Sixth St.

but it's not much different from the traffic noise we normally get," she said.
Gorman said the construction would repair a section of sewage pipe that had collapsed sometime last year.
"The repairs needed to be done," she said. "It still has a little way to go before we can reopen the street, but it should be done by June 13."
Road construction projects
Sixth Street and Monterey Way Traffic signal improvements are being made in the left-turn lane at the intersection of Sixth street and Monterey Way. Left turn lanes will be constructed on all four legs of the intersection and a traffic signal will be installed. The project is scheduled to end by October 1.
23rd and Massachusetts Streets
a left turn lane will be constructed on 23rd Street, and the traffic signal will be upgraded. A traditional right turn will replace the southbound free-swing one. Work should be done by November 1.
Sixth Street and Folks Road Left turn lanes will be constructed on the east and west legs of Sixth Street, and a traffic signal will be installed. The intersection should
be open to traffic when school starts, but completion is not expected until early October.
Fourth Street, from McDonald Drive to Michigan
Drive to Michigan
The road is closed to all through traffic until December 1. Major reconstruction includes a new two lane street, enclosed drainage systems, sidewalks, curbs and a gutter.
Access is provided to residents who live on Fourth Street.

Judge bars testimony in McVeigh sentencing
The Associated Press
DENVER — Determined to keep Timothy McVeigh's sentencing hearing safe, the judge yesterday barred prosecutors from presenting victims' wedding photos, a poem by a victim's father and testimony on funeral arrangements.
U. S. District Judge Richard Matsch also said he would not allow McVeigh's lawyers to turn the hearing into a trial of the government's handling of the siege at Waco.
"The penalty phase hearing here cannot be turned into some
McVeigh's death penalty hearing should begin today. The jurors who convicted McVeigh of murder and conspiracy Monday will decide whether he should die by lethal injection for the April 19, 1995, bombing that killed 168 people.
In addition, Matsch prohibited testimony from any bombing survivors and victims' relatives who may be prejudiced by testimony from the trial.
type of lynching."
Richard Matsch U.S. District Judge
"We have to guard this hearing to ensure that the ultimate result and the jury's decision are truly a moral response to appropriate information rather than an emotional response," he
said.
Despite Matsch's rulings, the judge will allow plenty of potentially wrenching testimony, including that of a rescuer who held a hand buried in the rubble, only to feel the pulse stop.
Matsch also will allow photos of maimed survivors, pictures of victims being wheeled into hospitals and testimony from the coroner about the various causes of death, including that of a man who died slowly, as evidenced by the gravel in his lungs.
"We can't sanitize this scene," Matsch said.
He struggled with balancing what he called the sometimes conflicting requirements for a penalty hearing, a procedure only vaguely outlined in the law. His chief concern was to prevent inflaming jurors' passions.
"The penalty phase hearing here cannot be turned into some type of a lynching," he said.
Whitewater lawyer criticized
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Lashing out yesterday for the first time, the first family's lawyer, David Kendall, accused Whitewater prosecutors of inflicting leak-and-smear damage on Hillary Rodham Clinton and of violating grand jury secrecy rules.
In a letter sanctioned by President Clinton, Kendall accused prosecutor Kenneth Starr of engaging in "a public relations offensive" that "is wholly inconsistent with your professional obligations as a prosecutor."
Kendall's attack was prompted by a Sunday New York Times story that quoted unnamed prosecutors from Starr's office. It contained plain violations of grand jury secrecy rules imposed on prosecutors, Kendall wrote.
Three former prosecutors sided
with Kendall, saying the article indeed raised questions about the conduct of Starr and his prosecutors. Michael Zeldin, a former Department of Justice lawyer, was one such prosecutor.
Milary Gilston
Hillary Clinton
"What Ken Starr has done with the New York Times piece is outrageous," Zeldin said. "It's antithetical to everything we've learned as prosecutors and as independent counsels, and he should be ashamed of himself."
White House press secretary Mike McCurry said Kendall discussed the
letter with Clinton. "He agrees with the sentiments conveyed by Mr. Kendall," McCurry said.
Deborah Gershman, a representative for Starr, said the prosecutor was traveling to Little Rock, Ark., and would likely have a comment after reviewing the letter.
Kendall wrote to Starr, "What is needed is a wholehearted commitment to winding up this investigation in an appropriate way. This means not chasing every rainbow or every partisan rumor, whether in the hope of wounding or destroying a target, or for any other reason.
"The present public posturing on your part suggests to me a total loss of perspective: I don't believe that there's ever been a jugular here for you to go for, but in the last several months, you've demonstrated an unerring instinct for the capillary."

Americans evacuate 1,200 in Sierra Leone
The Associated Press
FREETOWN, Sierra Leone — Guarded by U.S. Marines with armored vehicles and 25mm cannons, 1,200 foreigners boarded host
copters yesterday and fed Sierra Leone for the safety of an American warship.
or an American warship.
It was the third Marine-led evacuation since mutinous soldiers overthrew the West African nation's elected government on May 25 in a bloody coup. Nigeria, which backs the deposed government, sent in new troops yesterday and appeared poised for another assault.
Three helicopters carrying Nigerian troops left neighboring Liberia to

Doctors at the Connaught Hospital in central Freetown said 21 people were killed Monday, but Sierra Leone radio gave the figure at 80. No Americans were believed to be killed.

Ann Wright, the U.S. charge d'affaires, watched as evacuees, including 30 Americans, boarded helicopters for the USS Kearsarge, which was offshore. Since Friday, U.S. helicopters have ferried about 2,400 foreigners from the city to
Wright said the area "has become a very dangerous place with a bunch of 13-year-olds around and out of control...These are a bunch of thugs and lunatics having a free reign of terror with the army joining in."
North Pole conquered
LONDON — Three months and 1,200 miles after setting out from Siberia, two men have become the first British explorers to complete an unsupported trip to the North Pole.
The Associated Press
Stephen Martin, 41, and David Mitchell, 34, reached the North Pole on Monday, the expedition organizers said, and will celebrate their success in Resolute Bay, Canada, after being picked up by airplane.
"Stephen and Dave have done it, and they have done it the hard way," said Laurence Howell, the expedition's communications officer, who was in weekly radio contact from the expedition headquarters in Aberdeen. "They have made a bit of history."
The two men, who attempted the same trek in 1994, set out from the Russian Asiatic Siberian coast on March 3. For the first 50 days, they struggled against southerly winds that whipped up snow storms.
Their sleds were so heavy — about 440 pounds each — that both men had to pull one sled for about two miles and then return for the second one. The team also carried all of its food and equipment.
The two men filmed the trip for a documentary to be aired by Britain's Channel 4 network. In 1990, Norwegians Boerge Ousland and Erling Kagge became the first to ski to the North Pole without help; Ousland made a solo trip in 1993.

Sports arenas to get face lift
Improvements should be made by the year 2000
Rebecca Osladil
Kansan staff writer
The millennium will mark the start of a new experience for those who attend University of Kansas sporting events at Memorial Stadium and Allen Field House.
Penzer Architects, P.A., in association with HOK sports, will make renovations to Allen Field House and Memorial Stadium. As a result, prices for students' season tickets will increase.$6 to help pay for the improvements.
Glenn Livingood Penzler Architects, P.A., in association with HOK Sports, has been selected, as the sports design team, to make renovations to the stadium and enhancements to the fieldhouse. Renovations will begin immediately and should be completed by the year 2000.
"The primary focus is to improve the fan experience by making it a much more friendly place to be," said Bob Frederick, athletic director.
Pat Warren, assistant to the athletic director, said enhancements to the stadium and the field house would cost an estimated $24.4 million. He also said that funding would come from private contributions and a slight increase in ticket prices.
"Prices for students will increase $6 a year for season tickets," Warren said. "This way only those who want to use the facilities will pay a little extra for them."
Warren said it was important that students understand that their tuition would not increase as a result of the renovations.
"This is a really exciting project," Warren said. "The fan experience is foremost in our minds. We have a great setting for the stadium, but we need better facilities to enjoy the setting."
Memorial Stadium was built in 1921 and was the first athletic structure built on a university campus west of the Mississippi River. Kraig Penzler, one of the leading architects on the new project, said that although there had been some work performed on the stadium since that time, it had not received routine maintenance.
Penzler also said that the stadium was not up to par with other
sports stadiums.
new drinking fountains, more accessible entrances and concessions area improvements. Most of the improvements will provide easier access for handicapped fans.
Renovations to the stadium will include building ticket windows, general circulation concourse areas and twice as many restrooms and concession stands. Premier seating, which includes luxury suites, premier sections and club level seating areas, will be developed. Other enhancements will also be added, like making structural repairs and upgrading the long-term maintenance needs.
Spectator amenities will also be enhanced at Allen Field House, which was built in the 1950s. These enhancements will include a new elevator, new restrooms,
The architects and officials in the athletic department are meeting this week for a design meeting in which the specific plans for the stadium will be discussed.
Darren Cook, director of facilities for the athletic department, said that the first change would be the lighting.
"We are finally going to buy our own field light, so we will not have to rent them anymore," Cook said. Glenn Livingood Penzler Architects has done extensive work with similar types of projects in the past, including the 1996 Summer Olympics Venue Management and World Cup Soccer 1994.
HOK Sport has designed or been involved in the design of more than 350 arena and stadium projects worldwide for public sector clients, professional sports franchises, colleges and universities.
"It's all for the fans and making the experience better for them," Penzler said.
And he also said that he hoped the improvements would attract more fans.
"I want KU to get the attention it deserves," Penzler said.

Missing girl's remains found in soybean field
SPRING HILL — Skeletal remains found in a soybean field have been identified as those of a 15-year-old girl, who has been missing since December.
The remains of Tawnya Knight of Spring Hill were identified through dental records, police said Monday.
The remains were spotted Saturday by farmer Robert Lynn as he was tilling his field for planting.
Investigators said Knight was last seen at a party Dec. 8, at a friend's house, which is less than a mile from where her remains were found.
Elizabeth Haney, who lives in the house, said that after the small party ended, Knight waited in vain for a friend to pick her up. Knight decided to walk to another friend's house at about 12:15 a.m. She never arrived.
Three days later, police publicly asked for help to find Knight. The search was halted when her uncle said the girl called him to report that she had run away from home but was fine.
Judge's conduct,words gets him kicked off bench
Donald Roberts, a village justice in Franklin County and former state police trooper, also told his clerk that an order of protection is "useless" and "foolish and unnecessary thing," according to the state Commission on Judicial Conduct.
ALBANY, N.Y. — A judge who told his clerk that every woman needed a good pounding every now and then was removed from office yesterday by a judicial conduct commission.
Robert's attorney, Peter Rupert, said he would fight the decision but would not comment further. The ruling can be appealed within 30 days to the state Court of Appeals, the state's highest court.
Calls to Roberts were not immediately returned yesterday. His term expires next April.
Last emperor's widow dies at 73 of lung cancer
(USPS 650-640)
Roberts, 52, made the comment in August 1994 after denying a protective order to Karyn Metz, whose husband was charged with assault after beating her.
BEIJING — Li Shuxian, widow of China's last emperor, has died of lung cancer at age 73. She died Monday in Beijing, the official Xinhua News Agency said in a one-sentence report yesterday.
Li, a commoner, married Alsingyoro Henry Puyi. Puyi abdicated the throne as a boy in 1912. He lived as an ordinary Chinese citizen after his release from a Russian re-education camp in 1959. Puyi died in 1967.
Puyi's life was depicted in The Last Emperor, the 1987 Bernardo Bertolucci film, which won nine Academy Awards.
He was born in Beijing on Feb. 7, 1906. He had just turned 6 when his family under pressure from Sun Yat-Sen's revolutionaries, abdi-

Lawrence shops find themselves surviving the fire
By Mike Cole Kansan staff writer
Above: Sunflower Outdoor and Bike Shop is still under construction from a recent fire. The temporary satellite shop is located at 844 Massachusetts St. Right: Sunflower's store, along with others in the area, burned on Feb. 26., which caused many shops to relocate permenantly or until they can rebuild.
Downtown Lawrence businesses, disrupted by fire this past spring, plan to return to their improved original locations when renovations are completed.
A Feb. 26 fire destroyed several businesses and apartments on the northwest corner of the 800 block of New Hampshire and Massachusetts streets. The buildings are expected to be completely renovated by next fall.
The fire affected building facades on both Massachusetts and Eighth streets, Rob Hendon, Sunflower Outdoor and Bike Shop assistant manger, said the side of the building facing Massachusetts Street would be renovated to preserve a historical appearance.
Visions Optical, which sells sunglasses and eyeglass frames, temporarily relocated to 21 W. Ninth St.
T. J. Speckman, Visions Optical owner, said his store would return to its original location at 806 Massachusetts St. when construction was completed.
"Everything has been totally gutted," Speckman said.
Sunflower Outdoor and Bike Shop also moved. The temporary satellite store is located at 844 Massachusetts St. Like Visions Optical, the original Sunflower Outdoor and Bike Shop is being completely remodeled. But the cramped quarters of Sunflower's satellite store has caused some problems with merchandising.
The space in the satellite store is about one-third the size of the original space. Hendon said the satellite shop carried the same merchandise as the original store but more was hidden.
"It's kind of tight," Hendon said, "And we can't merchandise as well." '
Hendon said he expected the store to be in its old location by mid-fall. The newly remodeled store will feature a new facade and more space.
Hendon said Sunflower would use the apartment space to create a two-story mezzanine with skylights. The increased area will also allow the store to expand its inventory.
space previously occupied by apartments located above the store. Additional space will not only give Sunflower more room for merchandise, but will also create dramatic displays areas.
The remodeled store will utilize
"We can carry more merchandise and merchandise it better," Hendon said.

They appear to be in an outdoor setting, possibly a park or a courtyard, with blurred background details that suggest trees and buildings.

Sherwood Thompson, director of Minority Affairs, has been named one of seven members to Kansas' newly formed African-American Advisory Board. The board will be a resource for the Kansas Department of Human Resources.
Minority Affairs director Sherwood Thompson talks to Eric Daily, senior server, outside Strong Hall on Tuesday.
Thompson said he was concerned about how African Americans were perceived in Kansas.
So far, three members have been appointed to the volunteer committee, which will give African Americans an official voice in the state government, said Mike Matson, communications director for Gov. Bill Graves.
Thompson said he would like to see changes in health care, education, jobs and minority business ventures in the state. He also said he would like to see more African Americans in state agencies and legislative appointments.
Thompson also would like to work with the Board of Regents to establish college-community partnerships. Such programs would bring African-American junior high and high school students to college campuses during the summer to take classes and meet professors.
"When we educate and train the populous we give them significant opportunities to increase their quality of life." Thompson said.

Film places sixth at regional festival
Bv Tamara Miller
"I wanted to try film just to see if I could do it," Drain said. "It was either that or managing Wendy's."
Lawrence graduate student Steve Drain was just trying to get an education. But after earning a philosophy degree and trying law school, he still isn't finished.
Now a graduate student in film, he finally has found his calling. He created a 110-minute feature film that won first place in Saturday's Sixth Annual Kan Film Festival.
Kansan staff writer
Mike Gunter, technical and facilities manager of Oldfather Studio, said that the festival was the only one in the region and that it was aimed at college students. This year the festival had more student entries than before.
"It's great that people are trying to give us a creative outlet," Drain said.
Drain said that the Kan Film Festival provided an opportunity to test his film.
The film, To the Cuckoo's Calling, was written and produced by Drain and Rodney Hill. Lawrence graduate student. It is a romantic comedy about the experiences of a preacher's son from rural Kansas as he begins college.
Drain said the movie was a typical boy-meetsgirl story and that the film was based on his own experiences.
"I have discovered that I have a tendency toward films about average, normal people in average, normal situations," he said.
Many KU students who participated in the festival submitted class projects. However, Drain's worked on his project outside of class, and he encountered a few difficulties.
Hill and Drain began working on the film last summer and continued throughout the school year.
Hill began working on the film in Oldfather Studio but was forced out and had to complete half of his project in Chicago. Gunter said that the film department's goal was to make equipment accessible to all students in production classes and that Drain's project began to conflict with film classes.
Money and time presented other obstacles. The $50,000 budget was paid by Drain and others.
Judge frees man after 27 years locked behind bars
Black Panther claims to be political victim
The scene outside the Orange County Jail erupted less than two hours after Superior Court Judge Everett Dickey, who last month overturned Pratt's conviction, ordered him freed to await a decision on whether he will be retried.
"Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your fair and courageous ruling," said the 49-year-old Pratt in a husky voice as he stood before Dickey.
The Associated Press
SANTA ANA, Calif. — Amid cries of "Free at last!" former Black Panther Geronimo Pratt was released on bail yesterday after 27 years behind bars on murder charges he said were trumped up by the FBI during the turbulent '60s.
The courtroom was filled with many veterans of the activist 1960s, who had come to see the judge deal with one of the last pieces of unfinished business from the Black power movement.
Prosecutors are seeking to get the conviction reinstated. If they fail, they could retry Pratt, though they haven't said if they will.
Pratt was arrested in 1970 and charged with murdering school-teacher Caroline Olsen in a robbery on a Santa Monica tennis court in 1968. He was convicted in 1972 and sentenced to 25 years to life in prison.
Pratt insisted he was in Oakland at the time of the killing. He maintains he was railroaded for the killing as FBI and police sought to undermine the Black Panther movement in California. His defenders have long contended he was a victim of a political persecution campaign by J. Edgar Hoover.
Dickey overturned the conviction last month, ruling that prosecutors failed to tell the defense that the key witness against Pratt was an infiltrator and paid informant for the FBI and police. The witness had claimed Pratt confessed.
Pratt was rushed off in a van to get to the San Francisco Bay area in time for his 17-year-old daughter's high school graduation. She and her 14-year-old brother were conceived during conjugal visits Pratt had in prison.
Amid the chaotic scene outside court, Pratt's lawyer, Johnnie Cochran Jr., said, "This is a great day for justice in America." Former O.J. Simpson's lawyer represented Pratt at his trial and had said last year that he would not stop practicing law until Pratt was proven not guilty.
Eldridge Cleaver, the 61-year-old former minister of information for the Black Panthers, said Pratt's release and reversal of his conviction would help to solidify the party's reputation in history.
"We will be judged as having made a positive contribution," he said. "We stood up for freedom and justice.
"It's a matter of integrity. This is my Waterloo." Cochran said.
"It's madness in there," Pratt said after walking out of jail on $25,000 bail. "You have political prisoners on top of political prisoners. I'm only one of a great many that should be exposed, should be addressed."
Someone in the crowd stood up and screamed, "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, he's free at last!"
"His legacy is one of endurance, of always saying no to the attempts to subvert him." Cleaver said of Pratt.
During the bail hearing, Pratt told the judge he was dedicated to trying to find out who killed Olsen and promised not to flee.
"I assure you that if there are any further proceedings I'll be the first one here," he said. "You can be assured I will adhere to any rule the court orders me to follow and that's my word as a Vietnam vet and a man."

Con Air offers laughter
Weak story doesn't stop movie from providing humor.
By Jeff Ruby Kansan staff writer
Con Air has set some kind of record. Never before in the history of cinema has such a talented ensemble of actors been united to say so many ridiculous things in a two-hour span.
But when the movie is as amusing as Simon West's action-stoked Con Air, it isn't tough to forgive anyone involved. Nicolas Cage, John Cusack, John Malkovich, Ving Rhames and Steve Bussemi are among the gang of reliable thespians asked to temporarily disregard their acting skills. They do so in favor of blurting lame, Schwarzenegger-esque one-liners against a backdrop of non-stop music and fire.
Con Air's screenplay, which seems still in rough draft form, hopes to induce more giggles than sheer terror. But if you're really into adrenaline-pumping, Sweet Home Alabama-playing macho films, you could do a lot worse than this summer's version of The Rock (last summer's version of Die Hard).
Cage plays our hero Cameron
MOVIE REVIEW
Poe, a nice-guy convict who, through a series of unlikely onlypossible-in-a-summer-movie incidents, finds himself aboard a plane transporting every convicted scumbag and scalliwag this side of Carson City. He's been paroled after eight years of doing chin-ups, sit-ups and push-ups in prison and simply wants to get his sweaty body home to his loving wife and their obnoxiously cute daughter whom he's never met.
Of course the plane gets taken over by the rogues planning an escape. They are led by Cyrus "the Virus" (John Malkovich in his familiar cerebral psychotic role), the silliest and most obvious nickname since Hannibal the Cannibal. His supporting cast features guys with names like Diamond Dog, Swamp Thing and Johnny 23 (for every woman he has raped).
Poe finds himself in a bit of a snag and feels compelled to play action hero. Cusack, who plays an idealistic U.S. Marshal named Larkin, does his best from the ground to stop the baddies from disappearing to Mexico.
Lots of explosions, crashes and random gunfire ensue. People die in new and surprisingly laughable ways. The wisecracks, most of which seem aimed at a fifth grade level, are distributed evenly among the main players.
What did you expect? Shakespeare?
This is an action movie, and it's summer. Cage seems quite at home as an offbeat action hero, and, as always, brings his human element to the kind of role usually deserved for pumped up Eurotrash hulks. But he's got to feel silly for putting on his Elvis accent yet again for no apparent reason. Poor Cusack looks like he accidentally stumbled onto this movie from the set of his latest quirky film. He simply doesn't belong, and almost appears to be running around in his own movie alongside the Con Air we're laughing at.
One letdown the convicts were surprisingly humdrum. When Buscemi's Dahmer-influenced serial killer is dramatically introduced, one expects some weird business from the pervert who once wore a girl's severed head as a hat as he drove through three states. But, like the rest of the reprobates, he only serves as a flaccid attempt at comic relief.
When the destructive finale goes on way too long and annihilates way too much of Las Vegas, you can't help but laugh about how out-of-control the film has become.
I know, I know. I should lighten up and just enjoy the escapist fun we're provided with all summer long. Truth be told, I did. And I found *Con Air* to be hilarious. Whether it meant to be is another story.
Renting camping gear reduces cost
By Gale Garber
Kansan staff writer
At $175 for a tent, $90 for a sleeping bag and $55 for a stove, camping can quickly add up. But KU students, faculty and staff have some inexpensive alternatives.
With a $20 deposit and a current KUID, gear can be rented at Wilderness Discovery, a service sponsored by Student Union Activities. Wilderness Discovery rents camping equipment like two- and four-person tents, sleeping bags, backpacks, stoves, lanterns and ice chests.
A campfire pit is sitting on the grass. There are two stools and a cooler nearby. The tent is made of wood and is set up in a wooded area with trees surrounding it.
Greg Bollinger, Wilderness Discovery recreation coordinator, said that the rental fees allowed campers to use equipment that might otherwise be too expensive.
"Students can get higher quality equipment than they can afford for short-term camping or a one-time outing," Bollinger said.
Prices at Wilderness Discovery, located on the first floor of the Kansas Union in the Jaybowl, range from $1.50 for a sleeping pad to $10 for a four-person tent for one day. The fees decrease for additional days.
Gale Garber / KANSAN
Campers interested in buying camping equipment may want to go to Sunflower Outdoor and Bike Shop's store at 844 Massachusetts St.
Although Sunflower once rented camping equipment, the satellite store does not have the space to accommodate the additional equipment. The store still sells camping equipment.
Once campers have their gear, they must choose a location. The KOA Campgrounds of Lawrence, located north of Lawrence on Highway 40, has tent sites and two cabins. All sites include access to a swimming pool.
Prices range from $14 per night for tent sites to $26 per night for a cabin. Weekly and monthly rates are also

Businesses close for summer
KU students leave town, and many stores slow down.
By Sean Patrick
Kansan staff writer
The signs of summer are everywhere in Lawrence.
An announcement posted at Joe's Bakery, 616 W. Ninth St., reads, "We have decided to close for the summer. We appreciate your business very much! We hope you will come back in August. We are very sorry for the short notice."
The signs are on businesses all over town. Most of them say that summer is here and that business hours have been cut.
Each year, from the end of May until the middle of August, local business owners are forced to compensate for the drop in student population. Almost a quarter of the city's population leaves for the summer.
Joe's Bakery was open for business until June 1 before owner Ralph Smith decided to close for the season.
"We handle it on a year-to-year basis," said Smith. "Basically, I decided this weekend that I want to spend more time with my wife."
Smith said that daytime business was adequate, but that late-night business had virtually disappeared. He said the drop was due to the high number of students that had left for the summer.
"We kind of starve in the summer," Smith said. "The bakery is my only source of income."
According to the University Infor
mation Center, there were 26,160 students enrolled for the Spring 1997 semester. Because summer semester enrollment is incomplete, no exact figures for student population are available. Last June there were 7,100 students enrolled in summer school.
The employees at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St., also notice when the spring semester ends.
"The students leaving has a pretty good effect on us," said Scott Bliss, manager of Liberty Hall cinema. "Business drops, especially between semesters. It's noticeable, but year after year it gets less noticeable."
Liberty Hall fights the summer slowdown by changing their show times or trimming the number of times a movie plays. Bliss also said that summer was a slow time for bands that might use Liberty Hall as a live music venue.
"In the summer, the bands go out
doors," Bliss said. "They join the big festivals like the Warped tour or the H.O.R.D.E. festival. We definitely have a big drop-off there."
However, Bliss did not think the summer slowdown was a bad thing.
"We have been tackling projects that have demanded our attention," he said. "It's beneficial, we get a lot done."
Not all local businesses feel the absence of students as sharply as others. The Hy-Vee Food and Drug store, 3504 Clinton Parkway, notices when spring semester ends but not as much as other stores.
"We really haven't seen a big dropoff this year," said Jeff Cuttell, HyVee food store manager. "With us being on the southwest side of the city where we've had a lot of growth, we get a lot of the normal residents. We don't see a very big fluctuation."
Water, water everywhere — except Robinson
Swimming is restricted to instructional pool while renovation is underway.
By Tamara Miller Kansan staff writer
Summer is here and the pools should be filled—with both water and swimmers. However, anyone looking for swimming fun at Robinson Center may find an unwelcome surprise.
The competition pool and diving well are out of order.
George Lottes, Robinson Center aquatics director, said the part of the pool area was being renovated and was closed for the rest of the summer.
"We have closed off the diving well and are moving the open swimming to the instructional pool." Lottes said.
The project is part of the Kansas Crumbling Classrooms spending package. The renovation is scheduled to be finished by fall and classes are scheduled to meet in the pool next semester.
Lottes said the pool had been leaking water through the tiling on the walls and had weakened the concrete underneath, which caused the tiles to pop off. And the drain pipes had cracked, which prevented effective filtering of the pool. The pool is being retiled, and the drain pipes are being completely replaced.
"We'll make it safer, cleaner. And it will have better circulation of pool water," Lottes said.
Wayne Osness, chairman of health and physical education, said that the deterioration was partially caused by chlorine. Chlorine is necessary to keep the pool clean, but the chemical's acidity breaks down metal pipes. But the biggest factor was the age of the pool.
"The pool was built in 1966," Osness said. "Pools simply just don't last that long."
The competition pool was used not only for open recreational swimming, but also for scuba and diving classes and swimming camps.
Lottes, who also teaches the scuba and diving classes, said that it was important that the project be completed by the fall. If the pool is not open, Lottes said, only the scuba lecture class could be held, and the diving class would have to be canceled.
The competition pool is also used by the swim team for practice and for meets.
"The pool is critical not only for class but for the intercollegiate program." Osness said.
In addition to the needed renovations, Lottes said that the pool would be brought up to comply with the federal regulations. A portable handicap ramp and a wheel chair that can be used in water have been ordered. Asbestos is being removed in the pool area. Dry niche lights, which can be changed without getting in the water, will replace the old lights.
So far the project is on schedule, and Lottes said he was confident the pool would be open in time for fall classes.

Parking pass or not, spots are available
Some students avoid $26 fee for summer parking pass
By Daniel Ethan Thompson Kansan staff writer
With smaller summer enrollment and empty residence halls, KU students are finding ways to avoid buying a $26 summer parking pass.
"I haven't seen anyone towed yet," said Jennifer Maxwell, Lawrence senior, who has parked behind the Gamma Phil Beta house on West Campus Road since school started.
"My child's baby-sitter at Hilltop said to try over here. When I came over, it was almost full, and no one had parking passes." Maxwell said.
She said she had noticed cars by the Jayhawk Bookstore with an "Attention: Immediately Tow" sticker stuck to the window.
The Lawrence Police Department is responsible for all private-property property. But the owner must call and request the tow, a Lawrence Police dispatcher said.
"We usually don't call the police for towing during the summer," said Julie Numrich, Overland Park junior and Chi Omega member. "When I can't park, then I'll get a little angr." she said.
Numrich said the sorority house's lot started filling up when summer classes started. She said anyone who parks in the front row will be towed because of the construction in the house.
Other greek houses on West Campus Road also have available parking spaces. The Gamma Phi Beta and Sigma Kappa houses are both mostly vacant for the summer. The Sigma Alpha Epsilon house is no longer there. The parking lot, however, is in perfect working order.
Maxwell's baby-sitter has also discovered safe parking at the scholarship halls.
Donna Huntine, assistant director of parking, said that the parking department does not ticket student zones in the residence hall or scholarship hall parking lots during the summer.
"Remember, although no one is living in the halls, there are still people in the offices," Huntine said. "In each of those lots there are staff areas that are subject to tickets, and if you park at a meter, you need to pay."
For those who don't want to fight the free-spot-seeking cars descending on the scholarship halls and who don't want to leave their cars in the private parking lots of West Campus Road, there is one last option: Buy the $26 summer parking pass. There are plenty of summer slots in the lot, and your car will be there when you get back. For some, the gamble is worth the price.
"I'm too cheap to buy a parking pass," Maxwell said.

Lowering immigration quota would hurt American economy
After years of comparative obscurity, immigration has emerged as a pivotal political issue, competing with issues like race, taxes and crime.
Worried about a possible cultural and economic conquest by foreigners, Americans want a drastic cut in the immigrant quota, from the present one million a year to one-third that figure. Revelations of welfare abuses by immigrants have not made it easier.
Many Americans, if asked to be frank, call immigrants job-snatchers or foreigners with an alien culture.
Seeking to make America less rosy than it is, the latest immigration reforms propose curtailing public services to immigrants even after they have paid the taxes for them. Pro-immigration lobbies stunned by the move have called it an unparalleled travesty of modern law.
They argue that American fears of being swamped by foreigners are baseless, considering that only nine percent of Americans are foreignborn. With 94 percent of immigrants being economically self-sufficient, reports of welfare abuses are seen as unfortunate but exaggerated.
They see themselves as a vital part of the United States workforce, the building blocks of the American economy, particularly in areas like technology and research.
American economy needs immigrants just as much as the immigrants need it
It's not about cheap labor, immigration proponents argue, it's about the right skills. It's not about easing Americans from jobs, it's being absorbed by a growing economy which needs them as much as they need it.
They fail to see how the transgressions of a few should lead to penalties for everyone. To them, the very idea of America shutting its door to immigrants hits at its very core.
It was the recession of the 90's which propelled debate over immigration. While the economy picked up, so did the debate over restricting immigration.
Even though the latest employment figures in America have reached record highs, the debate over immigration has intensified.
Nobody argues that immigration reforms do not need to be overhaul. Characterized by years of benign neglect, immigration reform bills became a joke as politicians tried to
please both sides, selling national interest for votes.
Eventually, the need to keep the public happy may lead to more restrictive policies. But instead of caving in to rhetoric and political play, it would be wiser for the government to consider facts and realities.
Any immigration reform law will fail to do justice to both sides if it does not take into account the symbiotic relationship between the sides.
Agreed, America is paradise when compared to other countries riddled by poverty and political insurgency. But America is not a charity corporation and may need immigrants just as much as they need it.
Consider this: A "Workforce 2000" report issued by the Federal Government has forecast a tremendous skills shortage in the workforce.
The July 1995 issue of PC Week said that 51 percent of IT industries, a haven for foreign-born professionals, are understaffed because of a skills' shortage.
Driven by a need for cheaper labor, American companies have started offshore development. Rather than employing immigrants in the U.S., which keeps their money in the American economy, the jobs are going to workers in other countries entirely.

Money for $4 million KU jet could be better spent
Letter
I am dismayed by the irresponsible actions taken recently by Chancellor Hemenway and the Kansas University Endowment Association toward the purchase of a new $4 million dollar jet plane. They say, straight-faced, that this jet is necessary for the conduct of University business.
The timing of the matter bothers me. Quite simply, it is no coincidence that the Chancellor waited until Stop Day to announce this bombshell. Most students may never hear about this big-ticket purchase with the Jayhawk on the tail. At least, that is, in time to do anything to stop it.
money on himself. This is not merely an example of bureaucratic bumbling, but also a self-serving abuse of power. The Chancellor has often spoken of priorities when the students have requested funding for projects. Chancellor, I ask, where are your priorities now?
In addition, the ingenious use of
Endowment funds never ceases to amaze me. Besides building themselves a new building to replace a perfectly adequate one, the Endowment Association is now poking its beak into the skies and looking to fly. It is of little significance that state funds are not being used for this purchase. It is, in fact, this diversion of Endowment funds that adversely impacts students the most. After all, this is money that could otherwise be used for student scholarships and loans.
Is it not enough that the Chancellor already gets a car, mansion, and countless other amenities paid for by the Endowment Association? I say fix the planes the University already owns and use them. On second thought, maybe the Chancellor should just take commercial flights like the rest of us and spend the millions on a cause that is truly deserving of it.
Finally, the most goading aspect of the whole affair is the amount of hubris this action has required on the part of the Chancellor. In the face of the many other compelling needs on campus such as child care, inadequate computer access, and the antiquated bus system, the Chancellor has instead chosen to spend the

First came word of McDonald's 55 cent deal on Big Mac sandwiches. Apparently, the promotion was a complete flop.
RACHEL RUBIN ... Creative
Fifty cents for a can of pop seems right. It has been a static economic principal for most of our generation's lives. Fifty cents isn't hard to earn or hard to spend, and thus, KU Concessions took in — and I am not making this up — one million dollars last year.
CORY CORONA ...
Assistant Design
KU Concessions is trying to raise extra revenue, and their rationale is that minimum wage is up and vending machines now have to pay sales tax. But this is the wrong way to raise money on campus.
ADVERTISING MANAGERS
The way to raise money is through student fees. No one cares about student fees. We have to pay them. And an extra five or ten bucks a semester wouldn't kill anyone, especially not for something as highly used as the Unions, which operate KU Concessions.
But raising the price of pop is something students will riot over. This is a college campus, for crying out loud, and even our apathy has limits. And let's not forget which building the students normally burn down to make a point.

Here is where the demand for pop peaks: people will not buy as many cans at 50 cents as they will at 60 cents, and the price increase will not make up for the decrease in sales.
There has been a lot of talk about change lazily. I'm not referring to broad social revolution, but merely to those embossed metallic circles we all have in our pockets and purses.

Well, there's a surprise. You couldn't just walk in and plunk down some change for a sandwich, you had to buy an extra value meal. Besides, the number 55 has no meaning in pop culture, it isn't even the speed limit anymore.

McDonald's restaurant in San Bernardino, Calif. in 1940. In 1948, the brothers changed their service concept to the readily prepared, fast food that we would recognize today. The Big Mac wasn't even introduced in 1955 — it came out in 1968
McDonalds,KU have wrong idea for change
Columns
People like easy amounts. Lawrence Cigar Company actually prices their merchandise to come out to an even quarter when tax is added. But two coins, unless they are quarters — a million bucks worth of pop can't be wrong — is too bothersome for people to deal with.
For the last 11 years, 50 cents has been the price of a can of pop in the University of Kansas vending machines. But now the price has been raised, not to 55 cents (the folks at KU Concessions are apparently a little brighter than the folks at McDonald's), but to 60 cents. And these aren't even airport vending machines.
Even if the year was correct, anyone who lived in 1955 would have been offended if they paid more than a dime for a hamburger.
My only hope is that the phone company, which is now extorting 35 cents for a local phone call, will go the way of the McDonald's promotion.
Someone should determine how many coins consumers can handle in one single low-cognition purchase. The Big Mac is a low-cognition purchase because if we thought about it, we wouldn't eat them to begin with. Charging amounts that can't be conjured out of two coins, preferably like coins, will yield failure.
But despite the meaninglessness of 55 cents, what McDonald's marketing folks failed to consider was that 55 cents is a difficult amount. It requires thought — something marketing people abhor — to come up with 55 cents. You've got to use at least three coins unless you have a half dollar, and if you do have a half dollar, that means you've just come from the movies and are too full on popcorn to possibly want a Big Mac.
Fifty cents, for example, is no problem for consumers.

Let me set up a scenario for you. Let's say that I'm going into business for myself. My plan is to sell something that people can't do without
originally, regardless of the condition.
And then, after they use it for four months, I'll buy it back from them at an average price of 10 to 30 percent of what I charged them originally.
Then, I'll turn around and sell it to someone else at 75 to 80 percent of what the first person paid for it. I'll do that several times, never lowering the cost to the consumer after the first time, but giving the people who bought it back less each time until I just won't take it back at all.
"What a rip-off",you say?

Well, yes. "Won't fly", you say? There I disagree with you. You see, this business already exists and every one of us at the University of Kansas uses it. It is the business of selling and buying textbooks.
I'm beginning to think that the bookstores in this town should give every student a tube of K-Y Jelly with their textbook purchase. This would at least give you an honest indication of what you were in for at the cash register.
It seems that it doesn't truly matter whether the store is owned by the University. The problems are built into the industry, and the choice of bookstore or college only determines the degree to which you get ripped off.
At the community college that I attended, I would get angry that I would have to pay $50 or $60 for a book and only get $20 or $30 back at the end of the semester. Here, I pay $60 or $70 for a USED book, and I am lucky if I get $6 back at the end of the semester.
I just paid $70 for a second book for a class that I withdrew from last semester, because my new teacher doesn't use the same book as the other one. And now no one will buy back the book. The $300 worth of books I bought in the fall garnered me a payback of a little over $30, and I'm left with a copy of The Feminine Mystique, which is so old that the cover price is $1.75. They charged me $5 for it and now won't buy it back. I didn't read it and still got an A in the class, and I certainly don't want to read it now. As for the $250 I paid for books last spring, I got about $10 for the ones I could sell back, but no one would buy back the two most expensive ones.
Even if they didn't come out with a new edition, leaving you high and dry, you're lucky if you get enough out of a $50 book to buy lunch at the Hawk's Nest. And yet, they turn around and sell them to the next poor schimuck for $45.
In this age of communication, there should be a website or some sort of book market so that students could buy and sell books themselves.
For example, you buy a book from one of the bookstores for $70. At the end of the semester you take it back to the bookstore to see what they're paying and they tell you $10. So, you go online to the website and you post that the book is for sale.
The next semester, another student goes to the bookstore and gets the titles and prices of the books they need for their classes. This particular book is $55 used. So they go online, see your ad, click on the little blue part which connects them to your e-mail address, and you sell the book for $35. They save $20; you get $25 more than if you'd sold it to the bookstore; and everyone's happy.
Everyone, that is, except maybe the bookstore. If this idea takes off, the bookstores may have to re-examine their pricing in order to stay in the game.
And, while we're at it, maybe we can get the University to standardize their book usage so that three people take the same class from three different teachers aren't using three different books in the same semester.
Of the following groups: faculty, university, bookstores and students, which has the least money?

Fourth Kevorkian trial begins
The Associated Press
IONIA, Mich. — Jack Kevorkian's first assisted-suicide trial outside the Detroit area opened with jury selection yesterday in a Main Street movie house. But the man at the center of the case wasn't on stage.
Kevorkian's request that he not be required to attend the trial was granted by Ionia County Circuit Judge Charles Miel. Kevorkian feared his presence might cause a disturbance, defense attorney Geoffrey Fieger said.
Indeed, more than a dozen people, most of them disabled, protested against him outside the Ionia Theatre.

times in five Detroit-area deaths and was acquired every time.
The small-town flavor of his fourth trial was evident as 160 people gathered inside the theater, the closest
place to the courthouse able to hold the pool of prospective jurors in this town of nearly 6,200 people. The judge presided from a stage with a red velvet curtain.
Prosecutor Ray Voet has a jury consultant advising him for the selection of 12 jurors and two alternates. Fleger has five consultants.
Several prospective jurors were dismissed for a variety of reasons. Some attended Voet's church; a woman questioned whether Kevorkian should be charged; one man had signed an advertisement in Monday's Sentinel-Standard opposing assisted suicide.
"We believe the role of medicine is
to heal whenever possible and comfort when that healing is not possible," said the ad, signed by 15 local doctors.
Angered by the ad on the eve of trial, Fleger asked the judge to move the case outside Ionia County. Miel declined to make a ruling.
Kevorkian is accused of helping Loretta Peabody commit suicide Aug. 30 at her Ionia home. At first her death was declared natural, and her body was cremated.
A week later, a videotape was seized 100 miles away at Oakland County motel room where police believed the retired pathologist was preparing to help her die.

The same military court last week cleared another former Darmstadt instructor, Sgt. Julius Davis, of six rape charges, but convicted him of multiple accounts of indecent assault. Davis was sentenced to two years in prison and received a bad-conduct discharge and a reduction in rank.
DARMSTADT, Germany — A female recruit wept while testifying yesterday that she was raped by a U.S. Army sergeant at a training center in Germany and said she did not resist out of fear he would harm her.
Sgt. Paul Fuller is charged with rape and attempted rape as part of a sex abuse scandal at the Darmstadt training center.

Jurors appeared bored and distracted with much of Pate's testimony.
As Pate faced the barrage of questions from prosecutor Patrick Ryan, McVeigh leaned back in his chair and watched with a slight half-grin.
The woman testified the alleged rape took place last fall after she had gone to Fuller's room at his request. But she did not report it until the Army began an investigation of the training center in February because she was ashed.
She wept as she described the alleged rape. "He laid me back on the bed. I didn't know what to do. I was too scared," she said. "I just laid there while he did what he wanted to do. I didn't want to make it worse."

Fuller, 25, of Columbus, Ohio,
has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
His attorneys contend his alleged victims agreed to have sex.
The female recruit, a private first class, testified on the second day of Fuller's trial that he forced her to have sex and she didn't resist because she feared he would harm her.

Witnesses describe McVeigh's anger
The Associated Press
DENVER — Timothy McVeigh's lawyers yesterday tried to make jurors understand McVeigh's rage at the government. A Soldier of Fortune writer testified that McVeigh had embraced the militia belief that federal agents had been responsible for the deaths of women and children at Waco. McVeigh was driven to bomb the Oklahoma City federal building by anger about the deadly fire at the Branch Davidian compound, prosecutors said. McVeigh's attorneys have supported that scenario in their attempt to spare him the death penalty.
PARKER
Journalist James Pate analyzed McVeigh's writings and found militia buzzwords, patriotic passages and references to the government sieges at Waco, Texas, and Ruby Ridge, Idaho.
referring to conduct where the perception was there had been excessive or abusive force.
"It contains a very broad range that touches on every aspect of the movement," said Pate, who has written about militia culture.
Pate said under cross-examination that Soldier of Fortune did not advocate violence to answer concerns about government abuses. He said that some militia members had overstated government wrongdoing at Waco.
Timothy McVeigh
About 80 people died in the fire that destroyed the Branch Davidian compound, over
Waco, on April 19, 1993, exactly two years before the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building blast killed 168 people.

New bill tries to end stigma, treats illnesses the same.
The Associated Press
MONTPELIER, Vt. — After Jim Wilkinson's son was diagnosed as a paranoid-schizophrenic, the young man reached the $10,000 lifetime cap on his mental health coverage. If he had had a heart condition, he wouldn't have maxed out his insurance until he had hit at least $1 million.
Vermont ended that distinction vesterdav
with a law that requires insurance companies to offer the same coverage for mental health problems and physical ailments.
The law defines mental health more broadly than any other state so that coverage includes treatment of a full range of illnesses and alcohol and drug addictions.
"I've said many times that illness of the brain should be treated just like illness of any other organ," said Gov. Howard Dean, a physician when he signed the law.
Seveth other states have made similar moves, said Robert Gabriele, vice president of the Washington-based National Mental Health Association, but most of those laws only apply to cases of schizophrenia, manic-depression or other serious maladies. Those states are Colorado, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, New Hampshire and Rhode Island.
"...illness of the brain should be treated just like illness of any other organ."
Howard Dean Governor of Vermont
Gabriele said those other states' laws actually promoted discrimination against people
with less severe mental illnesses by implying that their ailments were less deserving of coverage.
"This is the model bill. This is the bill that we want to push for the rest of the country," he said.
The new law will end a strategy under which insurance companies frequently have capped lifetime physical health coverage at $1 million and, in the same policy, limited lifetime mental health coverage to $10,000.
Dean and others argued that the difference in coverage is in large part attributed to a historic prejudice against the mentally ill. "This bill begins to end the stigma in our society around mental illness and substance abuse," Dean said.
Kevin Goddard, representative of Blue Cross-Blue Shield of Vermont, said that although the company was not strongly opposed to the bill, the insurance industry opposed any state-mandated coverage.
"We feel compelled to point out to people who buy health insurance that every time you mandate a particular kind of coverage you increase the cost of health insurance," Goddard said.
Ken Libertoff, director of the Vermont Association for Mental Health, sought to allay lawmakers' concerns on that score with a study by the accounting firm of Coopers & Lybrand that predicted the average increase in Vermonters' health insurance premiums would be 3.4 percent.
Drops of mercury kill cancer scientist
The Associated Press
HANOVER, N.H. — A Dartmouth College scientist studying the dangers of heavy metals died of mercury poisoning Sunday, 10 months after a drop of a rare toxic compound apparently seeped through her rubber gloves.
Karen Wetterhahn, 48, had been hospitalized since January when tests showed 80 times the lethal dose of mercury in her blood, a college investigation revealed.
After she was diagnosed, Wetterhahn told investigators that she remembered spilling at least one drop of dimethylmercury in August, said John S. Winn, chemistry department chairman. Three weeks after Wetterhahn was diagnosed, she went into a coma.
and vomiting three months after the spill, but Winn said no one would ever know if the mercury had caused the episodes.
Mercury attacks the central nervous system before the victim show symptoms. Wetterhahn began losing her balance and had trouble speaking and hearing in January.
"Whether she knew the peril she was in at the time, I don't think we will ever know."
Winn said.
Wetterhahn, a cancer researcher, was using the compound to examine the effects of toxic metals on human cells. At the time of the accident, she was studying how mercury prevents cells from repairing themselves, which is similar to cancer.
John Winn
Dartmouth College chemistry department chair
Wetterhahn had two episodes of nausea
Winn said. Tests showed that the rare compound could pass through rubber latex gloves quickly, usually without damaging them, Winn said. "It's not like a discolored spot appears, the glove rips open or smoke and fire comes out of the glove," he said.
He said dimethylmercury looked like water but was three times as dense. The compound is attracted to the oil in human skin and is absorbed readily by the body.
In a letter published in the newsletter of the American Chemical Society, Dartmouth officials urged anyone working with the compound to wear neoprene gloves with long cuffs and to have their blood and urine tested frequently.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration also is investigating.
Berries plague seven states
Cyclospora causes diarrhea, vomiting and weight loss
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Food and Drug Administration warned the public yesterday that people suffering from diarrhea who have recently eaten fresh raspberries should have a doctor check to see if they were infected in an outbreak of
cyclospora.
The parasitic infection has struck at least seven states, including Texas and Nebraska, since mid-April.
Experts thought last year's outbreak, in which nearly 1,000 Americans and Canadians were effected, occurred because the raspberries were harvested during the rainy season when cyclospora levels are high.
Guatemalan raspberries may be the culprit. Growers there have suspended U.S. shipments until the outbreak is over.
know how widespread the new outbreak is because cyclospora can incubate for seven days before causing symptoms.
This year, farmers harvested before the rainy season, yet cyclospora struck again. Meanwhile, the government does not
Cyclospora invades the small intestine and causes diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss, fatigue and muscle aches. The illness can last several weeks, and sufferers often need treatment with antibiotics.
The FDA said it was unlikely that any berries remained for sale, yet still warned consumers not to eat any fresh raspberries from Guatemala.
Board suggests black box for cars
Only fresh raspberries have been implicated. Cooking kills the bacteria, and freezing may also kill it.
Government hopes monitor will prevent deploying air-bag deaths
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Aiming to prevent deaths from deploying air bags, a government safety board recommended yesterday that a crash recording device be developed to store important information about auto accidents.
The National Transportation Safety Board called for the modification of the computer sensor in air bags to allow safety officials to retrieve data about crash speeds and air bag deployment. The computer sensor signals the air bag to deploy in a crash.
NTSB chairman Jim Hall said the monitors would work like the black boxes that record information about airplanes in flight. Although the airplane version is more complex, board member George Black, a former vehicle homicide investigator, said the benefits of a similar device for cars would be tremendous.
Deploying air bags have been blamed for the deaths of 40 children and 27 adults. Most were not wearing seat belts.
Most air bags are designed to deploy in head-on crashes of 12 mph or more. The deaths from deploying air bags were in low-speed accidents, and in most cases, the other occupants in the car suffered either minor or no injuries.
Also yesterday, the board recommended that states pass stronger seat belt laws and require that children age 12 and under ride
in the back seat.
But most of the board's 24 recommendations were designed to help the government, states and police officers collect better accident information.
Board officials want to know more about the severity of crashes, air bag deployment and seat belt usage. And they want to document cases of successful air bag deployments so better air bags can be designed.
The board recommended that government and industry work together to obtain the sensor information. Questions about what information would be retrieved and about who would retrieve it were left unresolved.
Officials acknowledged that obtaining such information would raise privacy issues for drivers involved in lawsuits and questions about automakers' proprietary information.

Serving up smiles, free lunches
Meals distributed at five sites to Lawrence school children
By Dana Brooks
Kansan staff writer
There is such a thing as a free lunch—if KU students will volunteer to help serve them.
When summer comes, free lunches for Lawrence school children stop. But through Lawrence Kids First, a community program sponsored by the Lawrence Campaign to End Childhood Hunger, the free lunches will continue to come.
The lunches, which are prepared at Prairie Park School, consist of a sandwich, a fruit or vegetable, milk and a dessert. Volunteers help distribute the food at five sites where there are designated food servers.
But no one handles the work alone, because volunteers through agencies and the Community Outreach Center work together, said Diane Plunkett, nutrition assistant at the Extension Family Nutrition Education Program.
The program began last week, and although turnout was small the first day, numbers had grown by the third day.
According to Melissa Goodell, a volunteer at the South Park site, 43 kids ate lunch the first day of the program and 55 kids ate lunch the third day.
Scott Hendrix, a teaching assistant at the University of Kansas and volunteer for the program, said a large number of Lawrence students qualified for the program during the school year.
"It's a really good idea," Hendrix said.

Plunkett said that schools where 50 percent or more of students qualified for the free lunch program during the school year received a grant, which helped to finance the summer free lunch program.
The summer program provides this service to children who otherwise may have trouble finding lunch.
"Before, my parents had to pick us up for lunch," said Ashley Wagner, 10, member of the Parks and Recreation Groups at South Park. "Now my mom doesn't have to come clear across town."
"Mmmm!" was all Seville Williams, 5, could say about his sandwich. He did, however, say he didn't want his celery.
At the window where children get their meals, there is a table for leaving unwanted food or for picking up extra food so that way everyone is satisfied.
The summer free lunch program is noon to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday from June 2 to July 25. Children must be under 18 to get a free lunch. Volunteers also receive a free lunch.
Volunteers are needed at all the sites. Call the Center for Community Outreach at 864-4073.

Precautions can prevent painful sunburn
By Randall Rock, chief of staff, Watkins Memorial Health Center Special to the Kansas
Summer work and fun often result in prolonged exposure to the sun. The short term effects of excessive exposure to midday sun include redness, pain, itching and dryness and are well known to most. Blistering and very significant discomfort prompt many students to seek medical attention for sunburn each year. Long term effects of
recurrent injury due to excessive sun exposure may include a prematurely aged appearance and an increased risk of developing certain skin cancers.
Limiting midday sun exposure, long sleeves and wide-brimmed hats can be helpful in minimizing the damaging effects of ultraviolet light. The consistent use of sunscreens of sun protection factors of 15 or greater is recommended. Sunscreens should be reapplied after bathing or sweating. Replace fluids to avoid dehydration.
Certain medications may have a photosensitizing effect and make sunburn more likely to occur for a given amount of sun exposure. Tetracycline (often used for acne), sulfonamides (frequently used for urinary tract infections) and thiazides (a diuretic) may have this effect in some users.
with exercise.
There is no specific treatment for sunburn and in general the symptoms listed above will abate over several days to weeks
as the skin recoveries from the burn injury. Cool showers, moisturizing lotions and antihistamines may reduce itching. Aspirin, acetaminophen and ibuprofin may be used to relieve pain symptoms. Exercise, sweating, hot water and additional sun exposure may exacerbate and prolong symptoms. Use of antibacterial soap can limit the risk of infection to the injured skin. Tetanus immunization should be current- within the last 10 years.
Medical evaluation is indicated if significant blistering has occurred, pain is uncontrolled, tetanus update is needed or signs of infection or dehydration are present. Evaluation and treatment is available at Watkins Health Center for sunburn and other concerns 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday and 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. Sunday during the summer session. Call 864-9500 for further information on services and scheduling. The pharmacy at Watkins offers an over-the-counter selection in addition to prescription services.
Atmospheric indices measure mold, tires
Airborne matter annoy asthmatics allergy sufferers
By Tom Winter
Kansan staff writer
Every evening Channel 9 weatherman Bryan Busby rattles off the rubber index at the end of the summer weather forecast.
The rubber index?
Meteorologists often list atmospheric indexes as part of their weather forecasts. These indexes track pollen, mold, ozone and tire particulate (rubber) in the atmosphere.
Charles Barns, an allergy and immunology researcher at Children's Mercy Hospital, monitors the pollen, mold and tire particulate levels in the Kansas City area. These substances and their importance varies.
"Indexes are a reminder for persons who know they have trouble," Barns said.
The tire particulate index, sometimes called the rubber or latex index, is a recent addition. Tire particulate is released into the air from radial tires made with latex, Barns said. While tire particulate is not a known cause of allergies, it is being researched as a factor in allergic reactions, he said.
Linda Lyle, staff physician at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said
"When rainfall increases, pollen increases. However, rainy days have low pollen counts due to a washing out of the air."

latex allergies are increasing as a problem although she has not seen it much at the University of Kansas.
gies. The symptoms could also indicate a cold.
"Problems with latex are most commonly associated with latex condoms," Lyle said.
Aside from being a possible allergen, rubber is also an indicator of the general particulate level in the atmosphere. Barns said.
The most observed index, however, is the pollen index. Barns said that many people are allergic to pollen which typically causes runny noses, sneezing and irritated eyes.
However, Lyle said not all things that run away noses are aller-
Barns said one factor that effects the pollen count is the light cycle. "Pollen producers such as ragweed have higher pollen counts in the early summer and lower counts in the late summer," he said.
"When rainfall increases, pollen increases," Barns said. "However, rainy days have low pollen counts due to a washing out of the air," he said.
Rainfall also causes fluctuations in the pollen count.
Barns said that mold is another important index, measured by the concentration of spores in the air. Molds can be particularly troublesome because many people who are asthmatics are also allergic to molds.
Since asthmatic episodes can be deadly, the mold count must be carefully monitored by those individuals affected. Barns said.
Another substance being more carefully monitored is ozone. Ozone in the lower atmosphere can be a problem. It can irritate the respiratory tract, produce impaired lung function and cause throat irritation, chest pain, cough and lung inflammation.
Lyle said allergies could be caused by a number of things from pollens to animal dander to medication and that sometimes it was hard to figure out the cause.
"The only way to tell what your allergies are is to do allergy testing," she said.
Lifeguards protect skin promote sunscreen use
By Kirsten Havner
Kansan staff writer
Styles have changed atop the lifeguard chairs at the Lawrence Aquatic Center.
Gone are the days when lifeguards soaked up the rays and sported a cool tan. Lifeguards now attend a seminar on skin cancer damage.
It's a lesson other swimmers should heed.
"Students are spending more time in the sun, without properly protecting their skin," said Patricia Denning, internal medical specialist at Watkins Memorial Health Center. "Because of increased exposure and the depleting ozone layer, the reported cases of melanoma are on the rise."
Melanoma, a form of skin cancer, originates in the pigment cells of the skin. When the cells, or melanocytes, become clustered together they produce a mole.
When a mole changes color, size, develops an irregular border or bleeds consistently, the threat of melanoma may be present.
"It is when a mole begins to change that we have a problem." Denning said.
Poolside professionals back Denning's advice.
"Because I am a lifeguard, I am outside all day," said Courtney Biehl, Lawrence Aquatic Center lifeguard. "I make sure to apply a lot of sun block-SPF 45 on my face and SPF 30 on my lips. Plus, I always wear a hat during the afternoon."
Denning said the best way to prevent melanoma and future skin cancer is to be aware of the sun and its damaging rays.
"We have umbrellas on all the stands and, if the rays are really intense, I'll even wear a shirt," Biehl said. "I don't do all I should. Other lifeguards apply SFF 45 sun block every hour." Biehl said.
The most sensitive areas are the shoulders, neck and the tips of the ears and nose. Therefore, Denning said, it is important to wear a hat that has a brim on all sides to ensure complete protection.
When the skin burns, it's best to avoid further exposure to the sun, generously use a mild skin lotion to replenish the moisture, and take a cool bath to soothe the heat.
Biehl said that guards even get time off if their tan gets too dark or they are sunburned.
NEWS IN BRIEF
The Associated Press
DISCOVERY BAY, Calif. — The girlfriend of a pilot accused of stockpiling cremated remains was arrested yesterday on suspicion of signing fake documents that said he scattered the ashes from his plane.
The pilot. Al Vieira, remained at large.
Denise Hembree, 42, was booked on suspicion of grand theft, conspiracy and filing false documents. She was released pending further investigation. Sat. Jerry Knutson said.
An arrest warrant was issued Saturday for Vieira accused of stockpiling thousands of boxes of remains rather than releasing them over mountains or water.
Vieira, 52, was being sought on suspicion of felony grand theft charges. He was last seen Thursday.
Authorities say the remains of up to 5,000 people may be involved.
Some 2,000 boxes of ashes were discovered Thursday in Vieira's rental storage space. On Saturday, deputies discovered thousands more.
The containers appeared to have been piling up since 1986, when Vieira established Vieira's Flying Service and contracted with some 100 California mortuaries for his bargain services.

Divers find treasures in others' trash
GARDEN of EDEN
Lucas, Kansas
One man's junk often becomes another's cash
Garbage for some people is a commodity for others. Many KU students have saved money and found valuable merchandise in dumpsters.
Rachelle Detweiler
Kansan staff writer
Cold dormitory floors made Rachel Milne, Halstead junior, a dumpster diver. She only had rugs covering the tile floor. And when she spotted a roll of green carpet in a dumpster, she hauled it out, scrubbed it and realized the value of garbage.
For some, diving is also an art form, like for John Hoffman who wrote the Art and Science of Dumpster Diving.
Dumpster diving is a way of life for some people. By not spending money on necessities, there is more money for luxuries. And it is an adventure, almost like getting a present every day wrapped in big metal containers.
Hoffman bases his lifestyle on dumpster diving, and he wrote that his home was furnished with salvaged furniture and that he has used dived deodorant and toothpaste.
The money he saves from diving helps him buy caviar to put on his dumpster-dived crackers.
He said that since the publication of his book in 1993, many opportunities had opened up for him, which included appearing on at least 60 radio shows throughout the United States, South America and Germany.
He said that he has had the same job and that he is currently working with psychiatric patients.
"When I'm working, I'll hear my voice on the radio," Hoffman said. "That's not good when you're surrounded by 60 paranoid maniacs."
Even though Hoffman has dumpster dived all his life, he wrote that he still was amazed at what he found in the garbage.
Milne said that she was surprised constantly that people throw away good, usable items. In cases like these, poking through trash helps her reap rewards from other's carelessness, she said.
"Many people look at it as trash," Milne said. "If it's out by the curb, they assume it's bad. It's a trash fear."
Milne said her thriftiness developed sub-consciously.
When Milne began college and money was tight, she started using garbage to save money. Milne now finds it hard to shop retail, and her thriftiness helps define who she is.
"It's a disease," Milne said. "But diseases don't have to be bad. It's the first good disease. Packrattiness."
"Many people look at is as trash. If it's out by the curb, they assume it's bad. It's a trash fear."
She said that getting caught digging through trash could be embarrassing but that it is unavoidable. Milne drove us to the dumpster behind Hastings Books Music and Video in the Southwest Plaza. Her car
To help explain her disease, Milne took me diving.

already was full of odd bits of junk. A wire woman with a polyester shirt and ski cap rode in the back sea. And when the car turned, plastic farm animals rolled across the dash board.
When we pulled into the parking lot, three guys were walking into the store. "You go in the front," Milne said to the guys. "We'll go in the back."
Scavenging behind stores is the only way Milne would get a new book. She said that she rarely purchased new reading materials because if she could not find a book in the trash, she could read it free at the library.
Milne dived into the dumpster, picking up a board to move trash bags around. I was hesitant and spent most of the time staring at an employee taking a break behind Peking Restaurant.
We found nothing in the trash, but Tom Luxen, Hastings' manager, said that unsold books and newspapers were returned to regional or national vendors. Magazine are trashed, and the covers are returned to the vender.
As we drove to the next dumpster, Milne said that bad dive days did exist. The garbage is picked up too often at apartment complexes and all the good items end up in the junkyard.
Milne said that good dives at apartment complexes were usually spontaneous.
Hoffman said that dumpster diving deliberately was better than diving randomly. But he said that his book had helped dablers fine-tune their skills to find more diving opportunities.
Milne has developed an eye for spotting good garbage. Her favorite dumpster prize is a giant wooden television she noticed while driving home.
The television works, but it switches stations on its own, turns on and off by itself, and has sound and color problems, she said.
"We have not made a big issue if a person
"The first time anything went wrong with it, it did all its problems at once," Milne said. "It was a good show to put on for its new owner."
Anita Brown, supervisor of Lawrence's solid waste division, said that when an item was thrown away, it became city property
Joyce Simmert, an employee of Oaks Apartments, 1815 W. 24th St., knows that apartment complexes can be good dives. She said that divers cleared out most of the furniture and appliances before the trash collectors and that the divers were not a nuisance.
Even though dumpsters at complexes can be gold mines, Milne said that residential garbage was the best, especially in August when college students moved and junk was trashed.
"We have one guy that comes by everyday," Simmert said. "He actually climbs into the dumpster to get aluminum cans. We've never had any problems with him. He leaves no messes and cleans up before he goes away."
goes and removes items from the trash." Brown said. "So far no one has been charged for taking trash since the issue is not a pressing concern."
A person is more likely to have individuals press charges than the city. Brown said that it was better to ask permission before taking curb-side trash.
"When some people set items out, it's for the trash, and that's where it's supposed to go," Brown said.
Regardless of Brown's warning, an Ohio Street alley gave us our first find. Two broken fuses were wedged under a sack of flour. Milne wanted the fuses for an art project.
The problem was getting the prize from the dumpster. Neither of us could reach it and using sticks as diving tools only flipped flour over the dumpster's sides.
A tall man with long curly hair approached us. We stared into the dumpster, avoiding eye contact.
He stopped beside Milne and peered into the dumpster.
When he saw the fuses, he leaned into the dumpster, pulled out the fuses and dropped them into Milne's hands.

Student loans leading to deeper debts
Taking larger loans makes payback hard
Regina Cassell
Kansan staff writer
When Kristie Davis graduated from the University of Kansas in 1986, she only owed $5,000 in loans. The young nurse paid it off in a year and a half.
Davis thought her loan debt was average at the time. Today's students walk away from the University owing an average of $13,345 in loans, statistics show. In all, KU students borrow an average of $40 million to $45 million a year. Unfortunately, the number of students going into debt is growing.
"The bad news is that more and more students are taking out loans every year," Julie Cooper, associate director of the Office of Financial Aid, said. "If you don't need it, don't take it." she said.
A student with the average loan will be paying $164 dollars a month, according to the committee's fact sheet. In addition, the committee estimates that a salary of $19,642 will be necessary to pay off the loan, considering that 10 percent of gross income goes to repayment.
Frank DeSalvo, chair of the Student Affairs Research Committee, said his committee is working on educating students about going into debt.
"We're hoping the information will cause people to think about borrowing money," DeSalvo said.
DeSalvo said the fact sheet was based on research conducted by the committee a few years ago.
"Our effort is to distribute this information and make it readable for students," DeSalvo said.
Tabbath Householder, Lamar, Mo., senior, said she would graduate with more than $15,000 in loans.
"We're hoping the information will cause people to think about borrowing money."
Student Affairs Reasearch Committee
"I had a feeling that I'd have a lot of student loans," Householder said. "My parents can't pay for everything."
"I was able to pay off my loan quickly because I wasn't married, and my only debt was my school loan," said Davis, who graduated with a bachelor's degree in nursing.
With an interest rate of 8 percent, it would cost $61 a month for 10 years to pay off a $5,000 loan. Of course, making bigger monthly payments not only wipes the debt away faster, but it also ends up saving the borrower interest money.
Depending on the amount of money owed, most students pay off their loans on a standard 10-year repayment plan.
Householder said that she expected to take the full 10 years to repay her loans and that she was working on paying off a minimal credit card debt.
Based again on an 8 percent interest rate, a student owing the average $15,000 is looking at paying $182 dollars a month for 10 years.
According to the College Press Service, the average student loan was $7, 675 in 1990 and $2,500 in 1980.
Freshmen don't think about all the money they will owe four years down the line, said Cooper, who encourages students to study the short- and long-term effects of borrowing money.
Growing student debt goes beyond traditional school loans. Some students have found themselves owing a less friendly establishment: credit card companies. Four years of living on credit and taking out loans to pay for college can create real pressure to find a job and establish a budget immediately after school.
Credit cards end up costing everyone, Cooper said. The University quit accepting credit cards for tuition payment earlier this year because it had to pay every time a student used a card. Students may not think about how much money a credit card really costs them, Cooper said.
"We've seen it more in the last 10 years that at age 18, students have credit cards and are used to more things," Cooper said.
A set budget can keep students from racking up a crushing debt when they graduate. Although repayment options seem to only apply to graduating seniors, it's important to think about how large amounts of money will be paid back before borrowing.
"Credit cards start with the extras, but then the payments make it necessary to use it for the necessities." Cooper said.
"Students need to realize the short- and long-term cost of something," Cooper said. "We're seeing too many people resort to bankruptcies."
Cooper said some student's parents ran into money problems and then the problem filtered down to the student. Bankruptcy is an option the Financial Aid office works to avoid. Cooper said.
"When you don't make a payment for 180 days, your loan is in default," said Karen VanMeter, who manages the lender relations and college services for the Lawrence branch of SallieMae, a national agency that buys loans from banks.
Students in debt
Understand who owns your loans and communicate with them
Put money toward principle
Take a class on debt management if you're having problems
Know that credit cards are very dangerous
Always pay more on credit cards and loan payments when possible
Know your rights as borrowers
VanMeter said students should keep careful track of all loan papers and promissory notes.
Avoiding default keeps the federal government from garnisheeing wages and withholding tax returns.
SallieMae, like the federal government, gives students a variety of loan repayment choices. Although lower monthly payments end up costing students more in the long run, these options are available to keep students from defaulting on a loan, VamMeter said.
"I think most people are overwhelmed and don't know where to start," Van-Meter said. "It's our job to make it understandable."
Students can also examine incomebased plans where a percentage of their earnings are set aside for loan payments, VanMeter said.
Forbearance gives students a period of time to stop payments without a reason, but interest does accrue and is added on to the balance, VanMeter said.
The biggest thing for students to know is that they need to communicate with their lenders
Both Cooper and VanMeter recommend that students consider using their graduation money to pay on the principle of their loans. Any payments made during the grace period help reduce the amount of money a student pays interest on.

Supplier indicted for concealing origin of tainted berries
SAN DIEGO — A strawberry processing plant that sold berries tainted with hepatitis A to the federal school lunch program lied when it claimed the fruit had been grown domestically, an indictment unsealed yesterday charged.
Andrew & Williamson Sales Co. concealed that its strawberries were grown in Mexico when it sold the berries, the indictment charged.
It is illegal to sell foreign-grown produce to the National School Lunch Program, which is administered by the Department of Agriculture.
The contaminated berries sickened 198 Michigan students and teachers in April, hospitalizing about 20. Children in other states were vaccinated as a preventive measure because they may have eaten berries supplied by A&W.
A&W and former president Frederick L. Williamson were charged yesterday with one count of defrauding the United States, three counts of
making false statements and 43 counts of false claims.
Williamson resigned after the outbreak. He was scheduled to be arraigned today.
A company salesman, Richard H. Kershaw, pleaded guilty in May to three counts of misleading the government. He is scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 11 and authorities said he would testify against his colleagues.
The government has not filed charges against the company related to the contamination. Federal officials said scientific limitations prevent identification of the source of hepatitis A.
The company said in a statement that it cooperated in the investigation and was wrongly charged.
"We operate from a principle of playing by the rules," the company said. "We believed we were following the law."
Hepatitis A is an infectious disease that causes liver inflammation. Symptoms are fatigue, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea and jaundice.

Students keep financial aid phones busy
During summer days, this office answers 600 calls.
By Una Hart
Kansan staff writer
Things may slow down in most university of Kansas offices during June and July, but not in the Office of Student Financial Aid where employees answer 600 phone calls per day.
"There is a lot more activity during the summer," said Diane Del Buono, financial aid director. "We process as many applications during June and August as we do during the rest of the academic year," she said.
Julie Cooper, associate director of the office, said that most people didn't realize how busy the Office of Student Financial Aid became during the summer.
"Many other offices quiet down, but
we start gearing up," she said.
About 12,000 financial aid applications are processed each year. Between 5,000 and 6,000 of those are processed from June to August.
Not only are employees finishing spring financial aid applications, but they are also processing applications for summer and fall aid. Cooper said that 65 percent to 70 percent of the applications were processed before August fee payment.
Del Buono said the increased work load led to busier phone lines. Because many students leave Lawrence for the summer, they call for information rather than visit the office.
Although no staff members are added to accommodate the workload, part-time hours are increased. Del Buono said the 18 full-time and four part-time employees were reassigned from walk-in office service to phone service.
"There are usually two to three times as many people answering the phones," Del Buono said.
"Many other offices quiet down, but we start geeima."
Students who mail applications can
start gearing up."
Diane Del Buono Director of the Office of Student Financial Aid
expect more of a delay than call-in or walk-in clientele. Cooper said that in addition to initial mailing time, applicants were more likely to make errors when filling out financial aid forms at home. The applications may have to be sent back to students, corrected and then remailed. Forms filled out in the office can be checked for errors, which speeds the process.
Kevin Myers, Altamont graduate student, said he had only minor difficulties at the financial aid office.
"I had to go back several times," Myers said, "but other than that it was OK."

Lawrence clubs dancing to beat of trendy new tunes
By Crystal Honores
Kansan staff writer
Latin merengue and salsa rhythms have danced their way into Lawrence's night life, and bar owners say that they're here to stay.
Local clubs are meeting the increasing demand for Latin music. Contemporary combinations of techno, techno-merengue, traditional merengue, house, housemerengue, salsa, cumbia and rock Latin dominate Lawrence clubs' sound systems
Kelfel Aqui, owner of the Low Rider Mexican Cafe, 943 Massachusetts St., said his restaurant first offered Latin music two years ago, and the place was packed.
"A very nice surprise," he said. "And one that we were not prepared to handle. Back
then, we didn't have enough staff or beer. We ran out of everything."
Another dance club, Tremors, 729 New Hampshire St., has recently picked up on
Before Kellel started Coco Loco, his band Son Venezuela played at the restaurant. Son Venezuela originally played traditional Venezuelan music. Now they play contemporary salsa and merengue. Son Venezuela attracted crowds so large that they outgrew the restaurant and began playing at larger clubs like the Granada and the Bottleneck.
"We've always had the support; we still do. It was a hit all the way around," Echeverria said.
The Ramada Inn, 2222 W. Sixth St., held Casablanca Nights on Friday nights during the school year. Pedro Echeverria, Casablanca's creator and disc jockey, said that when Casablanca began in 1994, people came from Kansas City, Topeka and Junction City to dance. This summer Casablanca Nights will be replaced with Echeverria's Calypso Nights, Fridays at the Nouvelle Tasty Shoppe. 129 E. 10th St.
However, Latin music is not only popular among Hispanics. Its popularity has crossed ethnic borders.
the Latin beat. They now offer "Latino Night" on Thursdays, featuring a DJ who calls himself "Latino Man."
"We started offering it because for one, we were kind of slow on Thursday nights but also to build the business up and we've heard that it's been going good in other places. It seems like that music is kind of hitting a hot spot now," said Billi Struckert bar manager at Tremors.
Aqui, originally from Venezuela, sees the Latin trend as a reflection of the change in United States demographics.
"Year after year, there is an increase on Latin presence in this country. All sorts of businesses are gearing up to accommodate that segment of the population, not only because it's a big market but also because of the quality of the market. The Latino market is becoming more educated, entrepreneurial and has more disposable income," Aqui said.
"The people that come to Coco Loco are as diverse as the Latin music that we play," Aqui said.
One night, Aqui said that a group of soccer moms, a group of middle-aged yuppie women were getting down at Coco Loco.
"It was like girls' night out, and they chose our place. It was kind of weird and kind of nice." Aqui said.
Struckert attributes Latin music's popularity to its upbeat rhythm.
"It's real high energy music that's easy to dance to," Struckert said. "It's happy music, and I think it puts everybody in a good mood."
Aquil said that Latin music was ideal for those who liked to dance.
"If you like to dance, you have to be pretty square not to like Latin music," he said. "There is a very sensual quality about Latin music."
Struckert sees a bright future for Latin music in Lawrence.
"I have all the faith in the world in this. It's going to be nothing but good," he said.
"It's real high energy music that's easy to dance to. It's happy music,and I think it puts everybody in a good mood."

Dumpster diving is a way of life for some KU students to help on their living expenses. Dumpsters offer many different food choices and recyclable items.

He then walked away, brushing off his shirt.
Milne said that had been an unorthodox move. She has seen other people diving but has never shared a dumpster and never helped another person dive. But even after the stranger's help, Milne said that diving would not become popular.
"The places that throw away the best stuff, they get a good reputation and attract more attention," Milne said. "But I can't see fraternity or sorority people digging in the trash. It makes me giggle. It would be great if it became that popular."
Even though Milne is one of the few divers in Lawrence, she tries to avoid feeling like a big-time diver, she said.
For Hoffman, this is an unorthodox attitude.
"Divers are an opinionated lot," Hoffman said. "Everyone has a chance to be a master.
It's about taking two objects and putting them together for something useful. It's a learning experience."
Hoffman said that he tried to avoid feeling like the lord master of dumpster diving.
He said that others were earning a better living from dumpster diving. Those people are just supplementing their Social Security and just trying to get by, he said.
Milne and I walked from Ohio Street to Massachusetts Street, diving in the alleys and avoiding eye contact with strangers.
His success is not even his own because his parents taught him how to dumpster dive, he said. While growing up in a rural community, Hoffman's parents fed their family and others by salvaging food from dumpsters, he said.
Hoffman wrote about the importance of keeping a low profile.

Classes not just fun in the sun for some
Students juggle assignments work during summer school
By Lauren Dials
Kansan staff writer
Summer school may be shorter, but it's not easier.
Rose L. Greaves, professor of history, is teaching Middle East Since World War II.
Students who take summer classes may think the classes will be easier than ones during regular session, but professors maintain the same amount of reading and course work as during the spring and fall semesters.
"I think that summer school is much harder, because there is so much to ingest in such a short period of time," Greaves said. "Doing a class in a month is a bit of a marathon. I sometimes wonder if the students get as much out of it as they would during the regular semester."
"I think taking summer classes is more difficult than taking classes during the regular semester," said Tania Schmierer, Lansing senior. "I'm taking eight hours on top of getting ready to move and trying to work enough at my

job to pay the bills."
"There wasn't a whole lot of what I needed being offered," Schmierer said. "I pretty much had to take what I could get. I'm taking two relatively hard classes, and compacting them into two months is going to make them even worse."
Students taking summer courses may take classes they would otherwise avoid because there aren't as many course sections offered in the summer. Therefore, students don't have as many course selections as they would during regular session semesters.
"I've been dreading taking Western Civ so I'm taking it now to get it over with quickly," said
Other summer students are taking summer hours to lighten the load in upcoming semesters.
Julie Gleisberg, Leavenworth senior. "There's still the same amount of reading as there is during the regular semester, but at least I'll be with you in it two months."
Those students who are taking light class loads said that although summer school wasn't taking up all of their time, it did cause problems they had not anticipated.
"I'm only taking one class, and it's not too bad yet," said Mary Tighe, Overland Park junior. "I haven't had any tests yet, though.
Although Tighe was not cracking under her summer course load, she said she would rather do without.
"It kind of feels like it's not really summer, though, because everyone else is going out and I have to stay home because I have to wake up early and go to class," she said.
Some students thought summer school was an ideal time to add extra hours or to get closer to graduation, but the commitment and time summer classes required was often greater than students initially expected.
"I'm working two jobs," said Heather Bright, Lake Forest, Ill., senior. "I work one on the weekends and one during the week. In my free time, I'm taking an extra class. It's going to be a lot of work."
However, Greaves said the extra work could be worth the trouble.
"If they are faithful and come to class, they should do well and get a lot out of it," Greaves said.

"Serious Drinks for Drinking Seriously"
Aquatic center's new roof keeps crowd dry
Roof also gives refuge from sun to spectators
By Graham Johnson Kansan staff writer
Parents sending their children off to the Lawrence Aquatic Center this summer won't need to send as much sun block thanks to the new roof on the pool side gazebo.
Contractors recently installed the roof after a year of budget delays. Although the roof was in the contractor's original plans, cost overruns delayed completion until this summer.
"We cut it out intentionally, because the contractor's bid was too high," said Ernie Shaw, superintendent of facilities and maintenance for Lawrence Parks and Recreation.
To the casual observer, the gazebo still unfinned. Only the center is roofed with the outer circumference providing only partial shade via a skeleton of wood beams. But pool manager Bob Lockwood said this was part of the gazebo's design. Heat and wind can circulate from underneath the structure, a very popular design for pool areas, he said.
Both Lockwood and Shaw said the center provided ample amounts of
"A lot of people especially older people that are there watching theri kids, will get out of the sun and sit completely in
the shade."

"It's a good-sized area. For instance, opening day we had a rain storm and I imagine we had 75 to 100 people crammed in there to get out of the rain," Shaw said.
shade.
Rain storms aside, the roofted area is mostly used by parents.
"A lot of people, especially older people that are there watching their kids, will get out of the sun and sit completely in the shade," said Shaw.
Leigh West, Lawrence resident,
said she appreciated the new shaded
"We've been here every day since it opened," she said. West said she reads under the gazebo while her kids play.
area.
Lockwood and Shaw said two more shade structures would be built as soon as funding was available.
The new roof, however, is only one of several new improvements to the pool.
Other new attractions are the deep soft sand, playground equipment and water toys.
"Amazingly, we've had several families that have come in and paid the admission to swim just to play in the sandbox," said Lockwood.
Admission to the pool is $2 for individuals more than 12 years of age and $1 for younger children. Individual summer passes cost $40. Family passes are $90.
The Aquatic Center will be offering some new programs this summer. Movie night is planned for mid-August. Pool patrons will be able to watch a movie on the big screen while they swim. The Aquatic Center is also planning some junior/senior nights for local schools' swim parties. Individuals can also rent the meeting room for private parties.
These activities and new additions make Lockwood optimistic the pool can reach a new attendance record.
"We're looking for the 3,000 per day mark in attendance this year," said Lockwood.
Love is in the air.

Florida's Brown pitches season's first no-hitter
SAN FRANCISCO — After two terrible starts, Kevin Brown was almost as good as a pitcher can be.
Ano-hitter.
Nearly a perfect game
And for a while, if seemed like a double no-hitter was possible, too.
"I've never pitched a game like this," Brown said after leading the Florida Marlins over the San Francisco Giants 9-0 Tuesday. "Not even in Little League.
On an afternoon when neither team got a hit until the seventh inning, Brown (6-4) came within one hit batter of the 15th perfect game in major league history. With two outs in the eighth, his 1-2 cut fastball glanced off Marvin Benard, just near his calf.
"The ball hit a pad on my right leg," said Benard, who replaced right fielder Glenallen Hill in the top half of the inning.
Benard was San Francisco's one and only runner as Mark Lewis followed with a grounder to shortstop.
"It was disappointing, but I didn't want to lose my focus," Brown said. "I was trying to bear down from the first inning on. There wasn't much margin for error. I just tried to make sure I didn't let any runs in."
Brown needed just 10 pitches in the ninth to finish the second no-hitter in Marlins' history. Bill Mueller grounded to first, Stan Javier grounded to shortstop and Darryl Hamilton took a called third strike.
"I really didn't start thinking about it until the last inning," said Brown, who struck out seven and walked none.
Florida catcher Charles Johnson broke up William VanLandingham's no-hit bid with a one-out homer in the seventh. Johnson sounded more nervous than Brown.
"I was praying I could put down the right finger and they'd hit to the right guy." Johnson said.
Brown's teammates started avoiding him in the middle of the game.
"They were pretty quiet," he said.
"They all kind of moved back from the fifth inning on, and gave me some space."
VanLandingham didn't allow a hit until Johnson's two-run homer, which started a seven-run inning and helped Florida stop its nine-game losing streak at San Francisco.
Johnson got some big help. On his first pitch, he hit a foul popup to shallow right that first baseman J.T. Snow dropped for an error. After two balls and three pickoff attempts, Johnson hit his fifth homer of the season, giving Florida a 3-0 lead.
"The wind seemed to be blowing in toward the plate," Snow said. "When the ball was up, I was under it. It seemed like it took off toward the outfield, but I should have caught it.
San Francisco, 11th in the league in batting entering the game (.247), hit only three balls out of the infield: flyouts by Hamilton in the fourth and seventh, and by Barry Bonds in the eighth.
"He had great stuff today," Hamilton said. "It helps when you get ahead of the hitters like he did. The way his ball moves, it's difficult to take an aggressive hack."
Brown, who led the major leagues with a 1.89 ERA last season, had not won since May 25 at San Diego. In his previous start, he allowed 12 hits in seven innings in a 6-0 loss to the New York Mets on June 5.
In the start before that, he gave up a 529-foot homer to Andres Galarraga — the longest in the majors this season — in an 8-4 loss to Colorado. He allowed seven runs and nine hits in five innings, his worst outing since signing with the Marlins after the 1995 season.

Cup winners celebrate
Detroit brings home first cup since 1955
The Associated Press
DETROIT — A red sea of hockey worshippers parted yesterday for the Detroit Red Wings, who paraded before some 1 million fans as the silver Stanley Cup that eluded the franchise for 42 years sparkled under cloudless skies.
"For all Red Wings fans, this is your day in the sun," coach Scotty Bowman told the screaming throngs at a Hart Plaza rally that followed a two-hour parade down Woodward Avenue.
The players and coaches rode in red convertibles, feted for their sweep of the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday night that ended an NHL championship drought dating to 1955.
"Even though our names are
HOCKEY
going on the trophy, we couldn't have done it without you," forward Darren McCarty told the crowd.
"I want to thank everyone for coming out today to celebrate an outstanding world-class — and underline the word 'class' — Red Wings hockey team, coaching staff, trainers and owners," Mayor Dennis Archer said. "They did our city very proud."
The last Detroit team to celebrate a championship downtown, the NBA's Pistons, drew slightly more than 500,000 people to rally in their title years of 1989-90.
Yesterday, the streets were a surging sea of red and white — Red Wings T-shirts, jerseys, hats and banners. Somebody waved a flag from the former Soviet Union, the homeland of five Detroit players, from a hockey stick.
"Take a look at that crowd," team owner Mike Litch said from the Hart Plaza podium. "We've got
Too many fans had waited too long for the Stanley Cup to return to Detroit to miss this love-in.
more fans in Detroit than they got in the whole NIL."
Crowds began gathering shortly after daybreak to get a linesman's eye view of the parade.
The players wore T-shirts and dark glasses. Some pointed camcorders at the crowd to make their own souvenirs. Viacheslav Fetisov, one of the "Russian Five," carried a handmade sign: "We (red heart) our fans."
Bringing up the rear with Ilitch was Red Wings captain Steve Yzerman, who held the 35-pound Stanley Cup aloft amid deafening cheers. As Yzerman crept toward Hart Plaza, the crowd swarmed curbside barricades, heading to his car as he raised the Cup again and again.
"I didn't think anything could top Saturday night," Yzerman said. "But I've got tell you, coming down Woodward Avenue today was the icing on the cake. I'll never forget it."
UMass awaiting player's donation
Associated Press Writer
AMHERST, Mass. — Marcus Camby may set up a scholarship fund with money he promised the University of Massachusetts to make up for the NCAA penalty he provoked, a representative for Camby's NBA team said yesterday.
But more than a month after Camby's promise, university administrators still are waiting for the gift. It has put them in an awkward spot.
"It's not like we're in a position to say, 'You must pay it by such and such a date.' When it comes, we'll say "Thank you!" said Bill Strickland, a
campus athletic representative.
He predicted that Camby will pay, though he could not say when. A representative for Camby's team, the Toronto Raptors, also said that Camby intended to make the gift.
BAPTURS
"There was some question over the form of the payment," said Matt Akler, a Raptors' representative.
Marcus Camby
He said Camby had considered establishing a scholarship fund or making a one-time donation.
The former Massachusetts center said on May 8 that he would pay back $151,000 in tournament revenue that the NCAA ordered the school to return. Camby apologized and said that he had made a mistake by accepting gifts.
Earlier that day, the NCAA had stripped UMass of its 1996 tournament record, when the Minutemen reached the Final Four. NCAA officials ruled that Camby ruined his amateur status by accepting gifts from an agent to try hoo him as a client.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The NCAA accepted Arkansas' self-imposed sanctions for breaking the rules in its basketball program and ordered the school to set up a monitoring program.
After a 16-month investigation, the NCAA concluded yesterday that most of Arkansas' violations were inadvertent.
The Associated Press
"We are asking them to go a little bit further in their compliance program and report back to us on what they are doing," said David Swank, chairman of the NCAA Committee on Infractions.
Other accusations involved improperly allowing some former junior college athletes to play at Arkansas, giving prospective student athletes tickets to basketball tournaments and illegal academic help, which was provided by Kim Wood, daughter of Chancellor Dan Ferritor.
In November 1996, the NCAA sent Arkansas a letter outlining seven violations, including a broad accusation that the program had operated without appropriate institutional control.
NCAA, Arkansas OK
"We're asking them to go a little bit further in their compliance program."
David Swank chair, NCAA Committee on Infractions
The most serious violations involved an academic counselor who has since stepped down, Swank said.
He said that Wood's resignation probably softened the school's penalty.
Wood quit after acknowledging she typed correspondence course papers and then lied to investigators about it.
COLLEGE BASKETBALL
The NCAA still is concerned about the university's structure for certifying athletes' academic eligibility. It said Arkansas must develop a program to monitor how athletes were certified.
Ferritor said yesterday that the school had admitted to some of the violations but had successfully challenged three other allegations. He said that it was the first time in three years that the NCAA had alleged lack of institutional control and then failed to support the allegation.
"The warning signs brought to light as a result of this case should help the university prevent future violations," the committee said.
Raven rushes his recovery
The Associated Press
OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Bam Morris is off to a running start in his effort to become the NFL's leading rusher in 1997.
Morris, 25, missed minicamp and training camp last season while serving a drug-related suspension. But he made up for lost time in the final two months of the regular season after breaking into the Baltimore Ravens' starting lineup.
Morris finished with three 100- yard games, 25 catches for 242 yards, and five touchdowns. During
"I'm not one to settle for being second to nobody," Morris said after yesterday's minicamp.
Morris was released in July by the Pittsburgh Steelers after police found six pounds of marijuana in the trunk of his car. He pleaded guilty and avoided serious jail time, but had to serve an NFL-mandated suspension.
FOOTBALL
the final seven games he rushed for 618 yards, second in the NFL behind Barry Sanders with 756 yards.
Ravens owner Art Modell decided to give Morris a second chance with the team. Morris ended up as Baltimore's leading rusher, compiling 737 yards on 172 carries.
Morris said he had a lot to learn.
"When I got here, there's a lot of stuff I didn't know," Morris said. "I came in the middle of the season and we were just staying with the basic routine. Now I have the chance to learn the whole play book right from the beginning."
Morris is recovering from arthroscopic surgery that he underwent in January on his right knee.

Two women show increased levels of testosterone
INDIANAPOLIS — America's greatest woman distance runner was caught yesterday in a struggle of international track politics that threatened to block her bid for another world-championship appearance.
Runners allegedly abuse drugs
Track and field's world body said it had notified USA Track & Field that Mary Slaney and Sandra Farmer-Patrick were barred from the national championships, which begin today, because of alleged drug use.
The Associated Press
USATF, the sport's domestic organization, said it was notified only regarding Sanley and was told
she could not compete nationally or internationally. USATF said it would buck the decision by the International Amateur Athletic Federation and called Slaney an "eligible athlete."
TRACK
Farmer-Patrick said she previously had been suspended by USATF, although there has been no official announcement.
Adding to the dispute, the IAAF said it could suspend any athlete who chooses to compete against either runner.
Slaney, whose first race in the 1,500 meters would be a semifinal heat Friday, still was at home in Eugene, Ore., when USATF released its statement contrary to IAAF guidelines.
sity Track and Field Stadium. The meet will pick the U.S. team for the world championships in Greece in August.
Farmer-Patrick is a two-time Olympian and the former American record-holder in the women's 400-meter hurdles.
Slaney and Farmer-Patrick have proclaimed their innocence and said they wanted to run at the USA Track and Field Championships.
After consulting with her lawyers, she said yesterday. "They couldn't accept my entry because I am suspended. We are dealing with the same issue. It's not fair. It's inconsistent. How could her test be valid when mine isn't? I have medical documentation to show why my (testosterone) ratio was off. They haven't found any synthetic testosterone."
Slaney Monday declared her intention to compete during the five-day meet at Indiana Univer-
"I am outraged over this," said Farmer-Patrick, whose first trial heat is scheduled for tomorrow. "It is frustrating. They have to be consistent. I would love to know their reasoning. They haven't given me any yet. All the documentation in Sanley's case is the same as in my case. ... I would need an injunction to run."
FIFA wants fences removed from stadiums
PARIS — Saying fans are "spectators, not animals," one of soccer's top executives wants fences removed for the World Cup. But three of the 12 stadiums may indeed have fences for next year's showcase in France.
The IAAF first announced suspensions for Slanev and Farmer-Patrick on May 31.
The Associated Press
"This is a matter for the government and the local authorities," Federation Internationale de Football Association, FIFA, general secretary Sepp Blatter said
yesterday. 'They are the ones who are in charge of safety.
"I am very optimistic that we can talk to the mayors of the cities involved and perhaps the fences will come down." Blatter said.
"We provide the players, not the fans. But let's see if practical and humane solutions can be found," he said. "We have to think of the image of football. Fans are spectators, not animals."
He said FIFA's position on stadium fencing stems from the mayhem in Guatemala last October in which more than 80 people died and some 150 were injured when they were crushed against a fence.
SOCCER
Of the dozen stadiums used for the World Cup, those at Lyon, Montpellier and Paris still have fences.
Michel Platini, a one-time standout French player who now is copresident of the organizing committee, said that about half the tickets have been sold and some 800.000 will go abroad.

Woods' gain is Norman's loss
BETHESAD, Md. — Fame is a funny thing. Players work hard to get it, work as hard to dodge the distractions fame brings and then miss it more than they ever thought they would when it vanishes.

happier about Woods' emergence and now he can concentrate on golf.
"I think it's great," Norman said yesterday. "I love it. I really do... It's always nice to have someone else out there just to take a little bit off your shoulders."
Perhaps that is true. Norman has played little this year and missed the cut at the Masters. But he played strongly the last two weeks and could benefit from all the attention on Woods.
For the first time in a while the dominant storyline in Bethesda will not be if Norman finally will win a major championship in the United States.
"Believe me," Norman said,

There is a ring of truth in those words, but there also is a note of longing in Norman's actions. Maybe he misses the spotlight more than he admits.
On Monday, Norman decided to visit an old friend in Washington — President Clinton.
And all media were informed. In fact, Norman called the news conference.
Woods, meanwhile, had a news conference during which he answered essentially the same questions he has answered at each of the 10 previous sessions this year.

Former KU student dies of gunshot wound
A former KU student died Sunday at a shooting range in Overland Park from a gunshot wound to the head.
Guan Cy Teoh, 22, was found dead at the Bullet Hole shooting range. Teoh and his roommate had been target shooting at an indoor range where they had rented guns before.
Overland Park police Sgt. Joe Reed said that the shooting occurred at 4:35 p.m. There were no witnesses.
"We don't know if the wound was inflicted intentionally or unintentionally," Reed said.
Teeh's roommate said he noticed something strange out of the corner of his eye, and saw his roommate lying on the ground, Reed said. Each man had been shooting from stations that were separated by partitions.
Jane Tuttle, administrative assistant for student life, said Teehad not attended the University since 1994.
Firefighters' proposal doused by commission
City administrators defeated a proposal to change policies that would have affected wage hiles and employment policies for Lawrence firefighters at last night's Lawrence City Commission meeting.
The commission passed the city administrators' proposal because it was able to agree on more of the issues that were included in that proposal.
Ashleigh Roberts / KANSAN
"I'm sitting here dealing with two proposals that I disagree with," said Erv Hodges, a Lawrence city commissioner.
The International Association of Firefighters, Local 1596, wanted a 2.5 percent wage adjustment for all firefighters, plus a reclassification system that would raise all employee's salaries to the labor market average.
Firefighters' also wanted to get rid of "employment-at-will," which gives the city the ability to terminate any employee for any reason.
In addition, the IAFF wanted to retain the current rules and regulations that govern the department's employment procedures.
"By restricting rules and regulations, we're restricting management's ability to change in response to new environments," said Rod Bremby, assistant city manager and lead negotiator for city administrators.
The 2.5 percent wage adjustment was included in the proposal that passed, but city administrators liked the idea of the "employment-at-will." The city administrators' proposal also refused to reclassify the department's pay structure.
None of the commissioners thought the decision was easy.
"We are in a very difficult position," said John Nalbandian, Lawrence commissioner.
According to Nalbandian, the IAFF did not offer the commission a proposal that could be agreed upon.
"We should pay a competitive wage; all we've been talking about tonight is a comparable wage," Nalbandian said.
Erv Hodges agreed.
"Unfortunately we have to select," Hodges said. "I have the utmost respect for the fire department and those serving there."
The public agreed with the firefighters' proposals.
"Every job with the city of Lawrence is valuable and deserves respect. However, not every job involves a life risk," Lori Wagner, a Lawrence school teacher, said.
Firefighters said they thought that the IAFF's proposal would lift morale and would give the city a better fire department.
"Every day these men and women put their lives on the line for every one of you; and all we ask for is fainness. Doug Green, a firefighter, said.

Student remembered as humorous,unique

Kansan staff writer
Members of Phi Kappa Tau plan to keep the memory of their fraternity brother James R. Park alive.
Park, 21, Overland Park senior in broadcast management, died last Wednesday in a car accident in Gunnison. Colo.
He was in Gunnison for a summer internship with KWSB-FM radio at Western State College.
Trooper Pat Averett of the Colorado State Patrol said June 11 was a clear, sunny day, and road conditions were normal. The accident occurred when Park's vehicle, traveling west-bound on Colorado
PETER
James Park
Highway 50, drifted into the eastbound lane and collided head-on with a 15-passenger van. Averett said there was no indication of why Park's vehicle crossed the center line.
Park was semi-conscious when the state patrol arrived at 1:00 p.m. He was airlifted to St. Mary's Hospital in Grand Junction, Colo., and was pronounced dead at 3:15 p.m.
Park's friends and family were quick to establish a memorial fund through the fraternity, where Park was vice-president. He also had served as the membership orientation officer and rush chairman.
Three passengers in the van suffered injuries.
"Jim was a very big part of the infrastructure of the fraternity," said Chris Cruce, Leavenworth graduate. "Both Jim as a person and what he did for the chapter will be hard to replace."
The fraternity will move into its new house at 1100 Indiana St. in the fall. Chad King, Overland Park park senior. house manager and

treasurer for Phi Kappa Tau, said a room in the new house would be dedicated to Park.
"He just did so much, from serving as vice president to just the intangibles, just being there," Ham said. "They say that you're supposed to find some good in this. I think it will bring the chapter closer."
Friends said they would remember Park as uniquely "stoic and loquacious", the two words he used to describe himself.
Trey Ham, chapter adviser, said Park made many contributions to the chapter.
"Jim was the only man I knew who could wear this white Hawaiian shirt he had," King said.
Park's sense of humor使 him the fraternity's prankster award two years in a row.
"No matter what he did, you couldn't get mad at him." King said.
And Park's gentle demeanor absolved him of guilt after pranks occurred.
His kind demeanor and his height — Park was 6-foot-6 — made him a memorable figure to those who knew him.
"He was very believable," Cruez said, time he convinced a lot of people Cindy Crawford was his third cousin on his mother's side."
"He had a very imposing presence, but once you got to know him, he made you laugh," said Juan Heath, Paola senior. "Some teachers from high school called him the gentle giant."
Students, faculty shocked by loss
By Lindsey Henry
Kansan staff writer
Brian Grass, St. Louis, Mo., senior and social chairman of Phi Kappa Tau, had been Park's roommate for the past year. Grass said he was shocked to learn of his friend's death.
A memorial service will be held at 5:15 p.m. tomorrow for LaTina Sullivan, Memphis, Tenn., senior, at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
"It's just very tragic," Grass said. "I mean, this was a guy who was probably going to be the best man at my wedding."
Funeral services were held yesterday in Memphis for Sullivan, who police said died in the early morning hours of June 11, after suffering a severe asthma attack in an apartment complex seeking life.
Both services allow friends, family and colleagues to remember LaTina, or Tina as her friends called her, as an intelligent woman, an opinionated writer and a dedicated survivor.
A. Tina Cullis
One of eight children from a predominantly black area of Memphis, Sullivan came to the predominantly white University of Kansas in the fall of 1993 to earn her college degree.
LaTina Sullivan
"I was a little wary; both of us were very uncertain about the other," Lester said. "Tina told me later that nobody at her high school would ever believe she was having this kind of a relationship with a white woman."
As a participant in the McNair Scholars program, Sullivan was assigned a faculty mentor. Cheryl Lester, associate professor of English and American studies, was selected as Sullivan's mentor, an assignment both doubted.
But the relationship clicked, and the women remained close throughout Sullivan's time at the University. Many friends and colleagues refer to the relationship as maternal, and in the spring of 1996, Sullivan became Lester's teaching assistant, building the syllabus for Lester's English 203 African-American Cultural Studies class.
Despite her intense schedule, Sullivan always managed a smile. Amanda Traughber, recent graduate and former editor of the Kansan remembered her colleague's constant good nature.
Outside of classes, Sullivan worked in Watson Library, wrote and copy edited for the University Daily Kansan, and spent nights as a nanny. At the time of her death, Sullivan was the editor of the summer Kansan and a member of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority.
"She would always smile at you or start a conversation," Traugher said in a phone interview from Washington D.C. "She was not afraid to greet you, and that went a long way."
"I don't want anyone to pity her," Lester said.
"She knew she needed a degree, and it cost her. She was sick a lot and made huge sacrifices. But she saved herself from much worse, and it finally caught up with her."

This self confidence and love of news and television are what turned Sullivan on to the field of journalism.
"She was a media junkie," Lester said. "She was bicultural through the news. One of the billion things I regret is that this summer she was going to teach me how to watch TV."
Sullivan's assuredness went beyond her ability to strike up conversations or to write for the Kansan. Karl Woelz, recent doctorate recipient, taught Sullivan in four literature and fiction writing classes, respecting her academic talents.
"Her writing was very honest," Woelz said.
"As a writing instructor I see a lot of crap — cliches we've all heard before. But she got at what was important in her life. She was the

Authorities detail events of Kansan editor's death
Few coworkers knew of condition
By Andrea Albright Kansan staff writer
University Daily Kansan editor LaTina Sullivan didn't seem worried last Wednesday when design editor Bryan Volk commented about her cough.
"Oh, it's only a lung," Sullivan told him.
But it was much more serious than she knew. When Volk and Sullivan dropped off the paper at the press in the wee hours of Wednesday morning, neither of them suspected that she would never see those pages in print.

Kansan staff members in the newsroom the night before Sullivan died said they could not recall anything unusual in her behavior.
Security personnel found Sullivan, her heart already stopped, in a parking lot outside of a Meadowbrook apartment building just before 2 a.m. Sullivan was pronounced dead at Lawrence Memorial Hospital before dawn.
That changed as soon as Volk and Sullivan began the drive downtown. Volk said
"It was the kind of cough that sounds like you're trying to expel something," Volk said.
Sullivan started coughing before they left campus, and the cough sounded painful and deep, he said. He told Sullivan her cough sounded bad, but she did not seem alarmed.
After spending less than one minute in the Journal -World building at Sixth and New Hampshire streets, Sullivan proceeded to Volk's apartment in the Meadowbrook complex at 15th and Crestline Drive. Volk said the coughing continued, but no worse than before.
Volk told Sullivan that he would see her the next day, and went into his building. It was 1:40 a.m.

Asthma attacks affect millions TIMELINE
Proper medication can control condition
By Tamara Miller
Kansan staff writer
Margie Aston thought it was just a cold.
But after battling a bronchial infection for three months, Aston, office specialist in scheduling at the University of Kansas, was diagnosed with asthma, a respiratory disease that affects more than 10 million Americans.
Asthma is characterized by an inflammation in the airway that causes the airway to narrow, said Randall Rock, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center. Symptoms of an asthma attack are wheezing, coughing and shortness of breath.
Rock said asthma was diagnosed at three different levels. In most cases, the asthma is either mild or moderate, and an inhaler is used only when wheezing or coughing occurs.
In severe cases, such as Aston's, the
treatment is more aggressive.
Aston said she used two types of inhalers, a maintenance and steroid inhaler, on a daily basis.
"I also have an emergency inhaler that I use as needed, about two times a day." she said.
Asthma can be diagnosed at any time in a person's life, Rock said. Aston said she was diagnosed with asthma when she was 29 years old.
Alex Meech, Wichita senior, was diagnosed with allergy-induced asthma as a child. He was given an inhaler and allergy medication for treatment, but said he said he had outgrown his condition. Dust and dirt are the most common triggers of wheezing and coughing for asthma sufferers. An allergic reaction can also cause symptoms to develop. Because asthma sufferers have sensitive airways, these irritants can cause inflammation in the airways, making it difficult to breathe.
Aston said since she had been diagnosed with asthma, her parents did not smoke around her.
She doesn't go to the Bottleneck anymore because the smoke and poor ventilation make it difficult for her to
"I also have to keep my apartment cleaner," she said.
breathe.
There may be other complications
Panic is common during an asthma attack. Rock said it was difficult to slow breathing, because, during a panic attack, the body naturally speeds breathing.
Aston said it was most important for asthma sufferers to pay attention to their bodies and to go to a doctor as soon as symptoms occur.
College students with asthma are particularly susceptible to asthma attacks, Rock said. Lack of sleep, poor nutrition and smoking wear down the immune system.
Rock said asthma could be controlled as long as sufferers took their medication. He also said that with regular medication, asthma sufferers could exercise normally.
Aston recently had an asthma attack that sent her to the hospital.
She said that prior to that attack, she had been less diligent about taking her medication.
"When I feel better, I take it for granted and pay it for later." Aston said.

voice of what wasn't heard or seen around here."
Wozzi sad he attended Sullivan's pimpaged funeral. "She made you realize there was more than one truth," he said. "She was so funny and quick and smart. She didn't take any crap."
But because Sullivan's death came so suddenly, those who knew her are left wondering what might have been. Sullivan would have received her degree in August and moved to Phoenix. Ariz. to begin her life after college.
A life her family already was proud of, said her mother, Elizabeth Siggers.
"She was a good daughter," Siggers said in a phone interview from Memphis.
Siggers said the members of her large, scattered family were handling their loss as they congregated in Memphis.
"One of the many things that make me so sad is that there was no warning," Woelz said. "She had finally made it and was ready to escape. Now that's not going to happen for her."
Ayshea Charity, recent graduate, planned to accom
To honor her memory, the school of journalism will grant Sullivan her degree, said Susanne Shaw, professor of journalism. Diana Fox, assistant director of college undergraduate administration, said Sullivan also would be awarded an English degree from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
pany Sullivan to Phoenix in the fall.
"We had really become sisters," said Charity, who is in Sullivan's sorority. "We said we are young, we are talented and we were just going to see from there. It was a way to get away."
So close were the two that Charity said other members of Delta Sigma Theta thought she and Sullivan shared the same mind. Sullivan was named the 1966 Minority Greek Woman of the Year, coincidentally the same title Charity received for 1997, said Robert Page, associate director for admissions and adviser for the University's National Panhellenic Council.
But now that Sullivan's life has been cut short, it is up to other strong women to keep her spirit alive.
James Kitchen, dean of student life, knew Sullivar through her involvement with Black Panhellenic Council.
"She was a very bright, intelligent person — always the same," Kitchen said. "Follow in her footsteps, make a difference, be yourselves. That is what's important, to feel like you're making a difference in human lives."
And what a difference she made.
"She strived for something she believed in," said Laurie Riley, Sullivan's former roommate and 1995 Lawrence graduate. "She was on her way, she held on to her beliefs and didn't let anyone get her down."
Riley, who authorities called to identify Sullivan's body, said that image of her friend had haunted her initially.
"The pain in her face stuck in my mind for a few days," she said. "But now I am remembering her smile and her laugh."
to drive away but apparently stopped the car no more than fifty yards from where she had stopped to let Volk out and started honking the horn and calling for help.
Lynne Logan, resident manager of Meadowbrook Apartments, said records showed the original call for help was phoned into the office by a Meadowbrook resident at 1:49 a.m. She said security officers reported when they arrived minutes later, Sullivan already was in cardiac arrest. They then called 911.
Continued from Page 1
"We knew on the way that LaTina had no pulse," said Lawrence police Set. Susan Hadl.
She said officers were dispatched to the Meadowbrook Apartments at 2 a.m.
Hall said according to witnesses, the call to Meadowbrook security reported a disturbance in the parking lot. Witnesses told police that security arrived within two minutes of the call.
Officer Mike Monroe said police found security personnel attempting to revive Sullivan.
"We usually arrive before the ambulances because
After ambulance crews arrived, police remained to assist them with efforts to resuscitate Sullivan, Hadli said. She was transported to the hospital within 15 minutes of Lawrence police being dispatched.
we're almost closer." Monroe said. "When we arrived, we took over CPR."
Laurie Riley, Sullivan's former roommate, was called to the hospital at 3:25 a.m. Sullivan had designated Riley her emergency contact in Lawrence when Riley had accompanied her to Lawrence Memorial Hospital after an asthma attack last year.
Riley said that although emergency room doctors were able to clear Sullivan's lungs and trachea, they could not bring her heart back to life.
She identified the body at 3:45 a.m.
Riley said asthma sufferers needed to communicate with friends and co-workers about the disease.
WEATHER
In the newsroom there remains a feeling of disbelief. Volk remembers the flashing lights that night even though he could not see the emergency vehicles from his window.
"Most importantly, let the people around you know that you have asthma or any other condition," Riley said.
"I never thought it might be my friend," Volk said.

Students to be housed in lap of luxury
Residence hall renovations improve on-campus living
By Graham Johnson Kansan staff writer
The Student Housing Department is so busy with construction projects this summer that even their own offices are being disrupted by cranes and construction workers.
The department is planning and implementing six renovation projects it hopes students will notice in the fall.
It's all part of a plan to renovate the residence halls.
"One of the things we're excited about is the completion of the Templin project," said Fred McElhenie, associate director of student housing.
Costing about $6 million, Templin Hall is the department's most expensive summer renovation project. The renovations will turn Templin's rooms into suites, which will have private bathrooms, kitchen areas and cable and Ethernet hook-ups. It will be able to house up to 290 residents.
Templin has been closed one year for renovations. It is scheduled to reopen in August. Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said Templin
would open on time.
"It will open one way or another," he said. "I don't have the ability to take 300 kids home with me."
Although more students lived in residence halls in the past, both Stoner and McElhene said the renovations were not in response to falling occupancy rates.
"Actually, we were full last year and we'll probably be full again this year," said Stoner.
According to the Office of Institutional Research and Planning, in 1986 about 5,000 students lived in residence halls, which was 19.2 percent. By 1991, about 3,800 students, 14.6 percent, lived in residence halls. The number leveled off in 1996 at 13.5 percent, about 3,300 students.
During the same time period, the percentage of students choosing to live off-campus increased from 48 percent, about 12,300 students, to 57.3 percent, about 14,000 students.
Stoner said there were many reasons for the decline in on-campus housing occupancy.
In the late '80s, fewer high school seniors enrolled in the University. This meant fewer freshmen coming to live in the residence halls. Transfer students made up for the decrease in enrollment, but transfer students tend to live off campus, which partially accounts for the declining percentage. Stoner said.
Another reason for the decreased numbers was the introduction of single-room rental. With more students renting single rooms, hall capacities decreased.
Students are no longer satisfied with the residence halls and therefore are turning to apartment living, Stoner said. Therefore, the main reason for the residence hall renovations is simple need.
"If you own a house for 35 years, you expect to do some upgrading on it sometime," said Stoner. "The buildings would have needed modernizing whether they were full or not."
The Templin project is part of a long-term plan.
"Putting together a plan to renovate the buildings on Daisy Hill was one of the first things put on my agenda when I got here 12 years ago," Stoner said.
The plan will take its next step in May when Lewis Hall closes for renovation.
Other current renovations include:
— a new parking lot for Jayhawker Towers.
— resurfacing of parking lots 102 and 103, which are across from Lewis residence hall.
— a new roof for the GSP side of Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin residence hall.
— new laundromats in each of the residence halls.

Recent punishments in military inconsistent
Flinn, Ralston cases are viewed very differently
By Lauren Dials
Kansan staff writer
offenders.
The rules military officers abide by may seem foreign and harsh to civilians, but even within the military, the rules are not always applied equally.
Nathan Hollingshead, Lawrence senior, served in the military for 17 years and has seen sexual harassment and adultery. He says the military is not consistent in punishing these
"For every one person who is made an example of, there are at least a dozen or so who get by," Hollingshead said. "I don't think that someone's personal life should reflect on their career. If it doesn't affect your job performance, the military shouldn't bother with it."
But military officers do lose their jobs.
There have been 163 men and women court-martialed in the last year in cases involving adultery. Air Force General Joseph Ralston and L.L. Kelly Flinn have been two of the most publicized cases in the military's recent crackdowns.
Ralston had been a top candidate for the highest military position in the
country, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, until his affair became public.
Flinn, the first woman to pilot a B-52, faced a court-martial for having an affair with the husband of an enlisted officer. Flinn lied about the affair to investigators and disobeyed an order from a superior to end the relationship.
Ll. Col. Don Denmark, professor of military science at the University of Kansas, said the military had strict rules at every level.
"My staff may not fraternize with students," Denmark said. "If a member of my staff is invited by students to a party or a picnic, they must get my permission. If my staff has contact with my students outside the training program, I am to be informed beforehand.
I need to know who will be there,
when they are going, how long they'll
be gone, and if there is, to be alcohol
there—and if there is, they will not go."
Denmark said there was a reason they abided by such strict rules.
Ralston's situation is unique in that he had terminated the career of a three-star general in 1995 for having an affair with a civilian. An Air Force report stated that Ralston had lost confidence in the officer's "ability to command due to inappropriate personal conduct."
"The military is America's most trusted institution," Denmark said. "I would like to think that the military would look at their officers and say, 'Yes, we hold them to a higher standard.' The consequences of failure in our profession are severe, not only to ourselves, but to the nation."
"We don't always do what we think is personally right," Denmark said. "Ralston was acting as he was advised to under a strict code of ethics. After what he did, his candidacy created a perception of unfairness, and he realized the harsh reactions that would come."
Whether the military is being too strict is relative. Lt. Col. James Gleisberg, Public Affairs Officer at Ft. Leavenworth, said the facts of each case must be considered individually before any conclusions are reached.
"It's hard to set a moral standard when the offense doesn't even interfere with their job," Gleisberg said. "We've had many presidents who
wouldn't have held that position had the government taken into account the affairs they'd had. Flinn isn't being punished as much for having an affair as she is for lying to investigators and her superior officers about it. In Ralston's case, though, I think the military is going to far."
Ralston's decision to withdraw his candidacy for the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff may seem severe.
"Something he did 14 years ago is not going to affect his performance as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff," Gleisberg said. "Just because someone has a clean slate doesn't necessarily mean they're the best person for the job. Ralston having an affair doesn't make him any less of a military leader."

As a tribute to LaTina Sullivan, the editor of the summer Kansan until her untimely death last week, the editorial page is rerunning one of her more poignant columns. It originally was published in the January 16, 1997, issue of the Kansan. LaTina brought a unique and intelligent perspective to both the editorial page and to the Kansan with her insightful writing. She was an asset and a credit to the Kansan, the School of Journalism and the University of Kansas. Although her writing may not have changed all of her readers' views, she promoted and contributed to the diversity of thought at the University. Few who knew her could claim to be unaffected by her dynamic, generous and outgoing personality. She will be missed
Uproar about Ebonics misses real problem
One of the things that I don't understand is why there has been so much hoopla concerning the Oakland School Board's decision to recognize Black English, or Ebonics, as a separate language to better educate its students.
People have not been this outraged since O.J. Simpson was acquitted of murder.
From journalists and politicians to the head of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and Maya Angelou, people are up in arms. I would include Jesse Jackson, but, once again, he can't figure out where he stands or which side is more popular.
A FRIENDSHIP FOR THE DEAF
Where were all of these concerned citizens when I was in elementary school? And why are people — including bureaucrats — who have never stepped inside an inner-city school interested in how its children are educated?
Is it because America finally has realized there is a problem and actually wants to do something about it? Please, that would be doing something right.
Some of these "concerned citizens" only care about their money. I imagine the little voice inside of their heads is screaming—"They want to use our tax dollars. Say it ain't (sorry, isn't) so. Take away welfare, and they still try to find ways to steal our hard-earned money."
Honestly, how many of these concerned citizens are truly interested in how innermy children are taught? Remember, many teachers in the Oakland school district already had been teaching these children to speak "correct" English by using Ebonics.
LaTina Sullivan (left) smiles after receiving a plaque signifying she had completed the Dean's Scholars Program. The plaque was presented by Laura Yamhure, program coordinator, at a reception on May 16 at the home of Sally Frost-Mason, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
The resolution was to make it official.
Think about it. When was the last time the secretary of education jumped on an issue so fast? After the story hit the wire, he almost broke his neck trying to send a letter to the Oakland School Board that said the department would not give any federal funds to teach "incorrect English." Wasn't this jumping the gun just a little? After all, the school board did not request any federal money. I guess it was a just-in-case letter, which makes me wonder whether he would make replied so quickly if the Oakland School Board needed more money to pay its teachers. Probably not.
For other concerned citizens, it's all about saving face. "Ebonics done made us look ignorant again."
How else can you explain NAACP President Kweisi Mfume and other prominent African-American leaders about to have
major coronaries on national television arguing about why Ebonics is so unacceptable? It conveniently has slipped their minds that many of them also grew up in an environment where Black English was used.
As these debates move into battles, many have forgotten that children are the true causalities of this controversy. They also have forgotten that all of this commentary isn't solving the problem.
Whether these children say "I be going" or "I am going," the reality is that 71 percent of Oakland students enrolled in special education courses are African American, although they only make up 53 percent of the district's enrollment, according to the New York Times.
Although I do believe these children should be given all the tools needed to succeed in America, I don't believe Ebonics
solves the problem that faces many inner city schools.
As a product of the Memphis, Tenn., innerky education, I must admit that many of us did come to school thinking that "be" and its conjugate "is" were the all-inclusive verbs and that double negatives were the norm. Well, that's what we heard at home, sometimes in church and on Good Times. Of course, there were some teachers who were about to retire and didn't care whether we said "Dy-no-mite" until the bell rang. And then there were those teachers who refused to accept what many people called incorrect English from students who were already at a socio-economic disadvantage. When someone said "I ain't got none," that teacher would repeat the question until the student answered correctly or gave up in frustration. And she would then repeat and have the entire class repeat the correct response. And there was one time when a rebel did blurt out what most of us wanted to know. "Why we can't say that?" And that was the day many of us learned the sobering politics of race and class. "As poor Black people," she said, "you will be first judged as ignorant until you prove them wrong."
You see, our teachers didn't criticize Black English because they knew that it was and still is deeply embedded in our culture — from the poetry of Langston Hughes to the novels of Zora Neale Hurston to the bobp of jazz and the modern form of hip-hop.
However, they also realized we were in school to learn how to succeed in the dominant culture. They knew if we used incorrect English, no matter how cool it sounded, we would never be accepted into professional America. And like the Oakland board, they also realized the curriculum wasn't achieving its goal. There were far too many students failing and enrolled in special education. So, they supplemented our history and literature books with books and documentaries about African-American history, which was often excluded from our required reading lists. They also challenged us to become exceptions to the rule and achieve heights much higher than those in their generation.
Were they effective?
Without today's arguments about Black English, many of my friends, who in the third grade couldn't conjugate "be" correctly if it hit them in the face, have graduated from prestigious universities. Me, well, I'm an English and journalism major.
Do I still speak Black English?
You damn skippy (just a little old school). 'Cause around my peeps, it's all good, kid. Translation: Yes, around my family and friends. Culturally, it's still a big part of who I am, and it's the dialect of my heritage. Professionally, I have been taught there is a line that Black English cannot cross if you want to succeed in America.
To those people who still are upset about Ebonics: Take my great aunt's advice, which is quite simple. "Baby, if you ain't part of the solution, then you is part of the problem." Correct it if you want, but no matter how you say it, it will always ring true.
Columns
Friend's passage teaches lesson
My last words to LaTina were more of a grunt.
"See ya later," I moaned, halfway out the newsroom door.
"See ya," she answered, in that abatto-t-break-into-a-laugh voice of hers. How could I know seven hours later she would be gone?
She had just finished reading one of my columns, and I was in a foul mood, ready to call it quits and go home.

I'm calling up my parents tonight to tell them I love them.

Prejudiced thoughts instinctive but extremely difficult to squelch
We all have our own prejudices determined by where, how and by whom we were brought up. I'm from the South. The only friends I ever had were white. Every day I encountered racial slurs.
But I never thought of myself as racist. Even more, I thought that by leaving the South, I had left that possibility behind me. I But soon found out that I hadn't.
One night, in a familiar local bar far away from my roots, my life was forever changed. A group of three black men and two black women entered the bar and blazed a trail straight to the booth where my friend and I sat on one side. They helped themselves to the other.
I immediately grabbed my purse and thought my friend should do the same. Then I reprimanded myself for having such a thought.
But this thought quickly was reinforced by a series of choice words such as "Lesbian" and "Dyke Bitch" aimed right at our side of the table by the

McVeigh: American ideal with an evil, tragic twist
I've been thinking about America a lot lately, thanks to Timothy McVeigh. His trial has made me wonder about America, the American way and how we want to see ourselves
There's an America that I've become acquainted with through the Internet and late-night radio, and that America is big, bad and out for blood.
That America does wicked things that Joe and Jane Citizen can't fathom. American government is viewed by the voices in the wilderness of AM radio and back-alley web

pages as both pathetically inept and eerily able, something that has an equal chance of making people cease to ever have existed as it does to get lost on the way to an assassination.
To the Quixotes hoping to tilt the windmill of Big Government, Timothy McVeigh is an two-sided symbol. On the one hand they conjure him with names like Waco and Ruby Ridge, making him a steel-jawed proletarian avenger of the wrongs of the power cabal in Washington.
The claim is never a pure one, though. McVeigh is rarely seen as wholly responsible. He's a dupe, a patsy, a fall guy of some
sort. The government, or the web of covert organizations and secret agendas that really run things, are blamed. Foreign nationals are blamed. Some group, these people say, must be to blame.
It seems that people are unwilling to believe that an unknown person, toiling in obscurity, could bring forth such a singular work of horror.
If we do take the government's view, though, McVeigh is a prime example of the singular human spirit that has created wonders and made the world a better place, taken to a tragically wrong, poisonous extreme.
When we see forces that we'd rather see used for good taken to evil extremes, the only reasonable answer is to look away, to blame something that we can't understand.
We'd rather not look into the abyss, only to find that it's neither deep nor mysterious.
Maybe that's why some of the jurors said that McVeigh's testimony wouldn't have made much difference. They wanted to keep that singular spirit at a distance and keep the motive as apocalyptic as the action. Time will very possibly prove, though, that the motive was nothing more than the rage of a disturbed man who needed a target, tried to hit the Other America and hit us instead.

Landlords should provide liveable housing for tenants
Having a home, it seems, is more of a privilege or an extravagance in this area, rather than a basic right.
If that weren't the case, the shameful disparity in Lawrence between the price of a place to live and what one gets for one's money would not be an issue.
It is reasonable for a person to charge money for the right to live in his or her property.
Charging for upkeep seems reasonable; the choice between paying a little more for a place to stay that is dry, warm and free of vermin doesn't seem like too much to pay.
It is even reasonable for a landlord to want to make a profit. The job is a largely thankless one, and few would seek out the headaches involved in owning, renting and maintaining property without expecting some form of return on the initial investment.
What is not reasonable is a forty percent rise in the cost of an apartment without adequate insulation. This was the case in one
It seems unreasonable to be willing to get gouged in exchange for a slightly shorter walk to school.
It seems reasonable for tenants to consider themselves part of a partnership with their landlords. In exchange for a fair amount of money and decent stewardship of the landlord's property, one expects to live in a place that is more than liveable. That's the sort of relationship both sides of the rental equation should strive for.

Iran adds new missile to air-weapons supply
China projectile flies below radar
The Associated Press
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — Iran has started test firing a cruise missile designed to strike ships, Defense Secretary William Cohen said yesterday, citing the action as evidence of a sinister intent in Iran's military buildup.
At a news conference in Bahrain, Cohen said Iran was testing a Chinese-made anti-ship missile that can be launched from aircraft. Iran already has cruise missiles based on shore and aboard ships.
Cohen's disclosure fit with the message he has delivered on his five-nation Persian Gulf tour: Iran poses a danger to its weaker neighbors and should not be accepted as a normal member of the world community.

His sharp rhetoric contrasted to the m o r e restrained tone adopted by President Clinton after Iranianists elected a moderate cleric. Mohammad Khatami, president last month.
Clinton had called the election a hopeful sign but added that Iran must change its operations abroad and stop attempts to develop mass destruction weapons.
Khatami takes office in August.
Rahmat takes office in August. Cohen's disclosure comes as the Clinton administration is pushing for extending normalized trade relations with Beijing.
Though pledging to continue to press China on its weapons exports to Iran and other countries, the administration has argued that revoking normalized trade relations would undermine its ability to work with China.

Iran considers the Gulf as its major commerce artery. Militant elements favor exporting Iran's revolutionary Islamic ideology and have sought to undermine weaker states in the Gulf.
A senior U.S. military officer said that Iran had tested an air-launched missile on June 3. A second test launch three days later used a live warhead fired at a barge in the Gulf, the officer said.
Radar aboard U.S. ships in the Gulf is capable of detecting, identifying and tracking any cruise missiles in Iran's arsenal, the officer said. The U.S. fleet is equipped with missiles that can shoot down cruise missiles.
The U.S. Air Force plans to release colony that helped America into space

Research chimps need home
ARLINGTON, Va. — They were stuck, poked, probed and kept in cages in the interest of science. Some may have AIDS or hepatitis.
Now the Air Force is looking for someone to care for and feed 144 chimpanzees once used in research.
But they cautioned that bidders must demonstrate the ability to care for animals that could live well into the next century.
At a public meeting, Air Force officials said they would accept bids to take the animals and the buildings at Holloman Air Force Base, N.M., where the chimps are housed.
Acting under a law passed last year, the Air Force yesterday formally opened a process to divest itself of a colony of chimpanzees formed 30 years ago to help put America into space.
Animal-rights groups say they want all the chimps,but acknowledge that finding homes for them will be hard.
"Thousands of people are looking for homes for these animals that will not subject them to research," Elliot M. Katz told Air Force officials. "They (the chimps) have been in prison on your base all their lives, and now we want to put them into a place with a good quality of life."
"Thousands of people are looking for homes for these animals that will not subject
them to research."
Elliot M. Katz Animal activist
The Air Force got into the chimp business as part of the nation's space effort, but none of the 144 animals now alive took part in space research, said Air Force Col. Jack Blackhurst.
Instead, the monkeys were leased out as subjects for medical research.
Of the 144 animals, 103 have
been used in AIDS and hepatitis studies, said Lt. Col. Denver Marlow, a veterinarian in charge of the animals. About 40 have been injected with live viruses. They would have to be housed at special sites to protect others from possible infection.
Thirty-four of the chimps were captured in the wild and brought to the United States for research. These animals, now 30 to 40 years old, may live another 10 to 15 years.
The rest were bred in captivity and born at Holloman. The youngest animal is 4.
Katz said his group and others would like to create sanctuaries where the chimps could retire and not be used in research. But he said it will be difficult to find the money, the people and the buildings to take on the entire colony.
Chimps, cute and cuddly when young, become aggressive and difficult to manage with age, Landau said.
"Nobody wants them any more," said Virginia I. Landau of the Jane Goodall Institute in Tucson.
Also, it costs $15 to $45 a day to care for chimps. "Nobody can keep them in their homes," said Katz. "They need special places."
Because of the length and nature of their captivity, none of the animals could be returned to the wild, he said.
New, faster adoption program finds more homes for children
Larger staff decreases time to visit homes

nent homes.
NEW YORK — In the world's fastest city parenthood also has been sped up, thanks to the new Adoption Fast Track program.
Adoptions that sometimes took years can now be completed in two months or less under a program that aims to move children more quickly out of foster care and into perma-
Tens of thousands of children are in foster care in New York City. Judge Michael Gage said those adopted in Family Court often were neglected or abused, which makes the timeliness of an adoption important.
The adoption process itself remains unchanged. The idea is to speed up the paperwork and move the bureaucracy along faster.
More city resources and staff are being used to perform mandatory
child abuse screenings, home investigations and fingerprint checks, according to David Bookstaver, representative for Family Court.
Gage said, "We feel confident we're getting better information — as well as quicker."
For example, home investigations of prospective parents are more thorough because more workers have been assigned to do them, she said.
In the past, fingerprint checks were done only if a question was
raised about a possible criminal record. Now, everyone who adopts is fingerprinted, Gage said.
Yesterday, at the courthouse in lower Manhattan, Helen Salters beamed as she emerged as the adoptive mother of her 9-year-old grandson, Eric. She said things had moved much faster in the past few months.
New York's attempt to speed adoptions was part of an initiative announced several months ago by President Clinton. Other states in the forefront of the movement are
Illinois and Washington, said Charlotte Vick of the North American Council on Adoptable Children, a nonprofit organization in St. Paul, Minn.
The goal in New York City is to complete at least 1,700 adoptions between April 1 and June 30. As of yesterday, 2,000 had been finished, some in just two months.
During the same period last year, only 805 adoptions were completed by the city's Family Court system. Many had taken years to process.
"We feel confident we're getting better information—as well as quicker."

Bodyguards from rival sides begin battle
The Associated Press
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — The feud between Cambodia's co-rulers erupted yesterday into a bloody gunbattle between bodyguards loyal to each side, heightening fears in an already tense capital.
With the whereabouts of Khmer Rouge guerrilla leader Pol Pot still a mystery, the violence could threaten a coalition government that has been unstable since the United Nations pieced it together in 1993 after years
Assault rifle shots and explosions from grenades and rocket launchers rang out in central Phnom Penh as the bodyguards of First Prime Minister Prince Norodom Ranariddh traded fire with police loyal to Second Prime Minister Hun Sen.
of genocide and civil war.
About 100 police armed with AK-47s surrounded the prince's heavily guarded compound. At least one of Ranariddh's men was killed. Two blocks away, a rocket or grenade exploded inside the walled residence of U.S. Ambassador Kenneth Quinn. No one was injured.
Wounded in the fighting was a soldier with the prince's FUNCINPEC party and a Cambodian driving a bus down Norodom Boulevard where the fighting took place. Journalist Matthew Lee, Buffalo, N.Y., of the

French news agency, Agence France-Presse, was struck by shrapnel in his left arm, colleagues said. The wound was not serious.
Thousands of soldiers, police and militia units of the rival factions are posted around the city, and fears have
run high in recent weeks of a civil war. However, none of the larger units got involved in yesterday's two-hour clash. Leaders from FUNCINPEC and the rival, Cambodian People's Party, or CPP, met to defuse tensions.
The fighting comes just 10 days before U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright is to visit Cambodia to support democracy and urge the prime ministers to resolve their differences peacefully.
Ranariddh's chief military adviser, Maj. Gen. Tum Sambol, dismissed the seriousness of the clash. "I don't think it's bad yet," he said. "We're trying to resolve the problem."
But the U.S. ambassador called the fighting a wake-up call. "If there's a
silver lining, Quinn said, "it's that it didn't get any worse."
Government officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the clash apparently escalated from tensions between Ranaridh's bodyguards and police a block away guarding the home of Hok Lundi, national police director and CPP member.
The breakup of the Khmur Rouge over the past year has increased tensions in the government coalition.
In the past week, Pol Pot, who had been holed up with supporters in northern Cambodia, reportedly has been pursued by 1,000 troops who turned against him after he ordered the execution of his former defense minister. Son Sen.
Clandestine Khmer Rouge radio reported yesterday that "Pol Pot's betrayal has ended," suggesting he had been overthrown. It was unclear if he was alive.
Murders in Ireland prompt steps to prevent march
Protestants insist on taking regular solidarity parade
The Associated Press
PORTADOWN, Northern Ireland — A road through the main Roman Catholic neighborhood of this stunchily Protestant town is shaping up as a battleground following this week's Irish Republican Army killing of two policemen.
Members of the Orange Order, Northern Ireland's dominant Protestant fraternal group, say they are determined to march down Garvaghy Road, as they do every July 6. The march commemorates their 17th-century victories over Irish Catholics.
But the leader of the town's Catholic protesters, Breandan MacCionnalhit, said that no Orange foot would march through the neighborhood.
Last year's attempt to block the march triggered deadly riots across Northern Ireland.
The Orangemen have refused to talk with McCionnaith, because he was imprisoned in the 1970s.
The Gavaggh Road march is one of more than 2,000 marches staged each summer by the Orange Order, along with two smaller Protestant fraternal groups, to celebrate their community's solidarity.
Many Catholics resent the one-

sided celebrations with the booming drums, anti-Catholic songs and drunken thugs.
Alistair Graham, the British government appointee assigned to defuse the crisis, said Monday's IRA slayings of the Protestant police officers made it impossible "to see how we're going to get face-to-face dialogue, never mind any possibility of a formal understanding" between the two sides.
The British minister responsible for governing Northern Ireland, Mo Mowlam, shuttled between Orange leaders and Catholic protesters yesterday to try to win a consensus.
John Graham, 34, and David
The Orangemen, who used to parade several times each year down the Garvaghy Road, think they have conceded enough.
Both sides said nothing had changed.
Mowlam also stopped where the policemen were gunned down Monday, in neighboring Lurgan, to sign a book of condolences.
Bouquets and handwritten notes, one of which said, "My blood runs cold at this dreadful act...From a local Catholic family," lined the sidewalk where the men were killed.
Garvaglyph Road connects downtown Portadown with the focal point of the parade, an Anglican church outside town.
The Rev. William Bingham, district chaplain for the Orange Order, said the IRA had killed 60 local Orangemen since launching its campaign against British rule in 1970.
In an open letter to the Garvaghy Road's residents, he pleaded for the 15-minute parade, which he called "an outward witness to our sincere belief in the Reformed Faith."
Stalled peace talks provoking violence
The Associated Press
HEBRON, West Bank — Rami Obeid carefully unfurled an Israeli flag yesterday, set it ablaze and carried it toward Israeli snipers until he was cut down by three rubber bullets to his back and leg.
Obeido, 26, is a nine-year veteran of stone-throwing protests, said being shot was worth the humiliation he had inflicted on the soldiers by burning the flag.
Obeido is one of many foot soldiers the Palestinian leadership relies on to rekindle riots to remind Israel that the deadlock in peace talks cannot continue.
Although Palestinian leaders denied organizing the protests, the violence began Saturday — the day Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement urged members to confront the Israeli and American aggression against Palestinians.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said the riots were a tactic to pressure Israel into concessions.
The latest violence began during the weekend, when it appeared an Egyptian mission to restart peace talks was going nowhere. Arafat has been angling for a more active U.S. role in the negotiations, and Washington has been more inclined to become involved when West Bank streets are burning.
In Hebron, word has been out for the past four days: "Clashes start at 10 a.m. on Shalaleh Street."
Four teen-agers yesterday began throwing stones at Israeli soldiers on schedule. Several hours later, 17

In Gaza on Monday, a Jewish settler fired his pistol for almost 30 minutes at Palestinians in a land dispute, wounding one protester. Israeli troops did not intervene.
"I wished Mr. Netanyahu would take one look in the mirror to find the responsibility for the escalation that is taking place," the chief Palestinian negotiator, Saeb Erekat, said yesterday.
Palestinians acknowledged that their leaders had encouraged recent clashes but noted that activists had tapped into frustration about Netanyahu's hard line policies.
Obido, forded for three years by Israel during the 1987 to 1993 uprising against Israeli occupation, has been hurling rocks for the past four days, returning even after he was shot yesterday.
"I don't care if I become a martyr," he said. "As long as blood runs in my veins, I will continue fighting the Israelis."
Schoolgirl choir proclaims he's 'A Jolly Good Fellow' at send off for British ruler
Outgoing Hong Kong governor good for country, people
The Associated Press
HONG KONG — With just two weeks left before Britain turns Hong Kong over to China, Gov. Chris Patten easily could be dismissed as yesterday's man.
But the adoring crowds that greeted him yesterday on one of his last public outings
— including a schoolgirl choir that sang "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" — suggest that Patten is still one of the most popular of the 28 British governors Hong Kong has had.
Unlike the career diplomats and China scholars who preceded him, Patten is a politician and master of the common touch. That much was clear from the day he arrived in July 1992, wearing a business
suit instead of the traditional sword, tunic and ostrich-plumed hat.
The common touch was still evident when he toured a school in Tsuen Wan, where grimy factories and apartment blocks are slowly yielding ground to glitzy shopping malls and overhead expressways.
His silvery hair waving in the breeze, the 53-year-old governor inspected rows of Chinese nursery school kids, giving kindly pats on the back. He signed a visitor's book under a banner welcoming "The Right Honorable Christopher Patten, Governor of Hong Kong."
Behind a barricade, hoping to photograph his 12-year-old son with Patten, engineer K.K. Cheung said he would be sad to see Patten leave.
"He doesn't consider only what's good for Britain, but what's good for Hong Kong," Cheung said. "But China will only consider what's good for China."
"I think he's a good man," said another parent. Ngai Yeung Luk.
China detests Patten for having engineered democratic reforms without its consent, and is disbanding the legislature elected during his tenure. A substitute, unelected legislature is already in place.
And on Monday, the last of Patten's work unraveled when the incoming, China-approved government appointed extra members to local councils, effectively weakening the power of councillors elected under Patten's rules.
Chinese officials avoid contact with Patten, while the pro-China press consistently vilifies him. He was dealt an unusually severe snub when organizers of a gala charity dinner failed to invite him, even though his wife, Lavender, is patron of the charity.
Even now, debate rages among scholars about whether Patten was unwise, even vainglorious in thinking he could challenge mighty China. Did his crash program of democratic reform reinforce Hong Kong's freedoms? Or did he push China into a corner from which it had no option but to lash
Parents at the school seemed to have no doubts. Their remarks highlight Hong Kong is almost alone among British colonies in displaying its fondness for its departing ruler.
"He gave advantages to Hong Kong on freedoms and political matters, which are most important to people in Hong Kong," said Luk, 38, a technician on construction sites.
Cheung, the engineer, said Hong Kong needed a man like Patten to see it through the change of sovereignty.
He said the previous governor, David Wilson, "was too weak. he wouldn't argue with China. He just tried to make the Chinese happy."
out by reversing those freedoms?
Speaking to reporters, Patten extolled the incredibly warm and positive attitude of Hong Kong people, then added the kind of wry remark that endears him to them: "If I was experiencing this in British or European politics, I think I'd be thinking of calling an election."

AIDS program aimed at city youth
Free HIV tests, condoms,facts offered to poor
The Associated Press
NEWARK, N.J. — Christopher Blount is no stranger to the perils of AIDS.
He has known three people who have died of it. He works for a program that sends a mobile home into Newark's housing projects and other communities to offer literature, condoms and free HIV testing. He gets tested regularly.
Blount is 17 – too young to vote, too young to drink, too young to buy tennis tickets. But he isn't too young to get AIDS. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention figure people under 25 account for as many as half the estimated 40,000 to 80,000 new HIV cases each year
— despite all of the prevention
messages.
Part of the problem, medical experts and young people say, is the natural inclination of young people to believe in their invincibility.
"There are too many kids that are hardheaded, nonchalant," Blount said. "They're not willing to accept what's on you."
And they say that while the message is out there, it's not being taught well enough to reach those who need to hear it.
"Prevention can work, but we don't have the will, fiscally and politically, to do what it takes. The prevention messages we have are ineffective," said Robert Johnson, physician and director of the division at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey that runs the mobile testing program.
A White House report in March said that although most school systems provide some AIDS education, many prohibit discussion of sexual intercourse, homosexuality and condom use.
Workers in the New Jersey mobile
testing program hand out condoms and try to educate young people, although Johnson says he focuses on testing for those at risk.
The Newark metropolitan area has the seventh-highest AIDS rate in the country, with 73.9 new cases per 100,000 people in 1996, according to Center for Disease Control figures. The national average is 34.1 cases per 100,000 people.
"We have to find the kids who are infected and treat them," Johnson said. "If a kid is sexually active, get him tested. That is sound from a health point of view."
There are no firm figures for AIDS cases among Newark teens, but Johnson estimates there are between 800 and 1,000 HIV-positive teenagers in the city.
Mustafa Harper, a 19-year-old worker in Johnson's program, said it's easier to persuade people his own age to get tested than to preach to them.
But director James Anderson said that by using teen-agers to speak to teen-agers, the 9-month-old program has had some success in getting young people to think about safe sex.
"There are too many kids who are hard-headed, nonchalant. They're not willing to accept what's going on"
Christopher Blount AIDS educator
"You're looking at someone who looks like you, who's involved with the same stuff. You think, 'Maybe there's some validity to this,'" Anderson said.
Hantavirus spread by human contact
Rodent feces originally thought to be the cause
The Associated Press
Scientists previously thought hantavirus could sicken people only if they inhaled microscopic bits of rodent droppings.
No cases of person-to-person transmission have been documented in the United States, where the viral strain that causes respiratory illness was first identified in 1993.
ATLANTA — A hantavirus outbreak killed 11 people and sickened nine others in Argentina last year in the first known case in which the respiratory illness spread from person to person, U.S. health officials said.
There are dozens of strains throughout the world, but none until now have shown they could spread from person to person, said
Hantaviruses are a family of viruses named for the Hantaan River in Korea, where the first strain was discovered.
C. J. Peters, chief of the special pathogens branch at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The hantavirus strain contained in rodent feces first emerged when it killed dozens of people in the Four Corners region, where Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah meet.
In the coastal towns of El Bolson, Bariloche and Esquel in southern Argentina, 18 people got sick between September and December with hardly any rodents around. In addition, two more people who had contact with El Bolson residents but never went there became ill.
Since then, hantavirus has sickened 162 people in 27 states, killing 76, the CDC said.
The CDC has kept close tabs on U.S. health care workers since the disease first emerged. None have contracted the virus.
The respiratory illness starts out with flu-like symptoms that worsen and can become deadly. The lungs drown in fluid and the heart slows down, sending patients into shock. About half of people infected with hantavirus die. There is no treatment.
HEALTH BRIEFS
WASHINGTON — The companies behind three popular types of exercise equipment have settled deceptive advertising charges by the Federal Trade Commission.
The settlement announced yesterday prohibits Abflex, U.S.A. Inc., Life Fitness, and Icon Health and Fitness Inc. from misrepresenting any weight loss resulting from the use of their products. It also requires competent and reliable evidence for claims about the exercise equipment.
A settlement also was reached with Kent & Spiegel Direct Inc., which produces infomercials, print and television advertisements for Aflex.
The FTC targeted Abflex because of ads claiming that users of its abdominal exerciser could lose weight and inches by using the product three minutes a day. The commission focused on ads for Icon's stationary bicycle and Life Fitness' motorized treadmill that say users could burn about 1,000 calories per hour.
NEW YORK — A woman who sprotroduced a beard after taking Rogaine is suing for $1.5 million. Gloria Mosesson, 73, is suing Pharmacia & Upjohn Inc., maker of Rogaine, claiming it caused "heavy, dark, beard-like growth on her face."
Pharmacia representative John Wayne said the instructions explain that unwanted hair can grow if the product is applied frequently to areas other than the scalp, but Mosesson's lawyer claims his client used the product correctly.

Death redefined by Japanese law
The Associated Press
TOKYO — Japanese lawmakers rewrote the definition of death yesterday so that patients waiting for heart and lung transplants can get life-saving operations without having to go overseas.
Japan has been one of the few countries that does not recognize brain death, in which brain activity ceases but machines can keep other organs working. That made heart, lung and some other transplants impossible, though they are routine in the United States and elsewhere.
"The law is the first step toward the birth of a new kind of medicine
that requires the participation of the entire society, not just doctors and patients," said Kikuo Nomoto, a doctor and transplant advocate. "It's epoch-making for Japanese medicine."
But a lingering public distrust toward the medical establishment forced controversial provisions into the law, including the right of family members to reject a doctor's diagnosis of brain death.
Under the old law, death came when the heart stopped beating. At that point, corneas and kidneys still could be used for transplants, but the heart, lung and liver had deteriorated too much.
Emotional debate stalled the new
law for three years. On one side were hundreds of patients needing transplants and their doctors. On the other were skeptics who said entrusting doctors with determining the moment of death was too dangerous.
The main obstacle has been suspicion toward doctors. Japan's only heart transplant, which was in 1968, resulted in two criminal investigations against the chief surgeon.
The new law, which takes effect in three months, said that brain death would be recognized only in cases involving transplants.
The law also says transplantals will be allowed only from donors who
have left written consent. Brain-dead people who did not agree to transplants still would be considered alive and would continue to receive treatment.
"Although two people are in the exact same situation, there is a 180-degree difference between life or death," said Tadatoshi Akiba, a lawmaker who voted against the law.
Some critics said the law instituted a double standard.
Others said the law was too strict and it may lead to inheritance squabbles over the time of death. A group representing children with heart disease also criticized the law for not recognizing brain death in people under age 6.

AIDS program aimed at city youth
Free HIV tests condoms,facts offered to poor
The Associated Press
NEWARK, N.J. — Christopher Blount is no stranger to the perils of AIDS.
He has known three people who have died of it. He works for a program that sends a mobile home into Newark's housing projects and other communities to offer literature, condoms and free HIV testing. He gets tested regularly.
Blount is 17 - too young to vote, too young to drink, too young to buy lottery tickets. But he isn't too young to get AIDS. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention figure people under 25 account for as many as half the estimated 40,000 to 80,000 new HIV cases each year
messages.
— despite all of the prevention
Part of the problem, medical experts and young people say, is the natural inclination of young people to believe in their invincibility.
"There are too many kids that are hardheaded, nonchalant," Blount said. "They're not willing to accept what's going on."
And they say that while the message is out there, it's not being taught well enough to reach those who need to hear it.
"Prevention can work, but we don't have the will, fiscally and politically, to do what it takes. The prevention messages we have are ineffective," said Robert Johnson, physician and director of the division at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey that runs the mobile testing program.
A White House report in March said that although most school systems provide some AIDS education, many prohibit discussion of sexual intercourse, homosexuality and condom use.
Workers in the New Jersey mobile
testing program hand out condoms and try to educate young people, although Johnson says he focuses on testing for those at risk.
The Newark metropolitan area has the seventh-highest AIDS rate in the country, with 73.9 new cases per 100,000 people in 1996, according to Center for Disease Control figures. The national average is 34.1 cases per 100,000 people.
Mustafa Harper, a 19-year-old worker in Johnson's program, said it's easier to persuade his own age to get tested than to preach to them.
There are no firm figures for AIDS cases among Newark teens, but Johnson estimates there are between 800 and 1,000 HIV-positive teenagers in the city.
"We have to find the kids who are infected and treat them," Johnson said. "If a kid is sexually active, get him tested. That is sound from a health point of view."
But director James Anderson said that by using teen-agers to speak to teen-agers, the 9-month-old program has had some success in get

ting young people to think about safe sex.
"You're looking at someone who looks like you, who's involved with the same stuff. You think, 'Maybe there's some validity to this,'" Anderson said.
Hantavirus spread by human contact
Rodent feces originally thought to be the cause
ATLANTA — A hantavirus outbreak killed 11 people and sickened nine others in Argentina last year in the first known case in which the respiratory illness spread from person to person, U.S. health officials said.
The Associated Press
Scientists previously thought hantavirus could sicken people only if they inhaled microscopic bits of rodent droppings.
Hantaviruses are a family of viruses named for the Hantaan River in Korea, where the first strain was discovered.
No cases of person-to-person transmission have been documented in the United States, where the viral strain that causes respiratory illness was first identified in 1993.
There are dozens of strains throughout the world, but none until now have shown they could spread from person to person, said
C. J. Peters, chief of the special pathogens branch at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The hantavirus strain contained in rodent feces first emerged when it killed dozens of people in the Four Corners region, where Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah meet.
Since then, hantavirus has sickened 162 people in 27 states, killing 76, the CDC said.
The CDC has kept close tabs on U.S. health care workers since the disease first emerged. None have contracted the virus.
The respiratory illness starts out with flu-like symptoms that worsen and can become deadly. The lungs drown in fluid and the heart slows down, sending patients into shock. About half of people infected with hantavirus die. There is no treatment.
In the coastal towns of El Bolson, Bariloche and Esquel in southern Argentina, 18 people got sick between September and December with hardly any rodents around. In addition, two more people who had contact with El Bolson residents but never went there became ill.
HEALTH BRIEFS
WASHINGTON — The companies behind three popular types of exercise equipment have settled deceptive advertising charges by the Federal Trade Commission.
The settlement announced yesterday prohibits Abflex, U.S.A. Inc., Life Fitness, and Icon Health and Fitness Inc. from misrepresenting any weight loss resulting from the use of their products. It also requires competent and reliable evidence for claims about the exercise equipment.
A settlement also was reached with Kent & Spiegel Direct Inc., which produces infomercials, print and television advertisements for Aflex.
The FTC targeted Abflex because of ads claiming that users of its abdominal exerciser could lose weight and inches by using the product three minutes a day. The commission focused on ads for Icon's stationary bicycle and Life Fitness' motorized treadmill that say users could burn about 1,000 calories per hour.
NEW YORK — A woman who sprouted a beard after taking Rogaine is suing for $1.5 million. Gloria Mosesson, 73, is suing Pharmacia & Upjohn Inc., maker of Rogaine, claiming it caused "heavy, dark, beard-like growth on her face."
Pharmacia representative John Wayne said the instructions explain that unwanted hair can grow if the product is applied frequently to areas other than the scalp, but Mosesson's lawyer claims his client used the product correctly.

Death redefined by Japanese law
The Associated Press
TOKYO — Japanese lawmakers rewrote the definition of death yesterday so that patients waiting for heart and lung transplants can get life-saving operations without having to go overseas.
Japan has been one of the few countries that does not recognize brain death, in which brain activity ceases but machines can keep other organs working. That made heart, lung and some other transplants impossible, though they are routine in the United States and elsewhere.
"The law is the first step toward the birth of a new kind of medicine
that requires the participation of the entire society, not just doctors and patients," said Kikuo Nomoto, a doctor and transplant advocate. "It's epoch-making for Japanese medicine."
But a lingering public distrust toward the medical establishment forced controversial provisions into the law, including the right of family members to reject a doctor's diagnosis of brain death.
Under the old law, death came when the heart stopped beating. At that point, corneas and kidneys still could be used for transplants, but the heart, lung and liver had deteriorated too much.
Emotional debate stalled the new
law for three years. On one side were hundreds of patients needing transplants and their doctors. On the other were skeptics who said entrusting doctors with determining the moment of death was too dangerous.
The main obstacle has been suspicion toward doctors. Japan's only heart transplant, which was in 1968, resulted in two criminal investigations against the chief surgeon.
The new law, which takes effect in three months, said that brain death would be recognized only in cases involving transplants.
have left written consent. Brain-dead people who did not agree to transplants still would be considered alive and would continue to receive treatment.
The law also says transplantists will be allowed only from donors who
Some critics said the law instituted a double standard.
"Although two people are in the exact same situation, there is a 180-degree difference between life or death," said Tadatoshi Akiba, a lawmaker who voted against the law.
Others said the law was too strict and it may lead to inheritance squabbles over the time of death. A group representing children with heart disease also criticized the law for not recognizing brain death in people under age 6.

Minority camp encourages self-esteem, learning skills
By Tom Winter Kansan staff writer
Most junior high and high school students are enjoying the summer outdoors, but some are enjoying classes. Several Lawrence seventh- through 10th-graders are participating in the summer Minority Affairs Project Outreach Program (MAPOP).
The program, which started in 1991, offers minority students an opportunity to learn various skills and exposes them to other cultures.
"This program is a combination of role modeling and career opportunities," said Gloria Flores, associate director of Minority Affairs. "We basically acknowledge each of their cultures and consequently try to improve their self-esteem."
The camp consists of four courses: study and test-taking skills, communication skills, mathematical and career exploration, and self-esteem and cultural awareness.
The camp stresses educational fundamentals but is not a remedial program, Flores said.
Participant Nick Givehei said he enjoyed meeting new people and eating free food.
"I like the fact that we have classes but not homework." Givechi said.
Alex Adeyanju said he had decided to participate because the program had sounded fun. During the last week of camp, students will be learning computer skills, which Adeyanju said he enjoyed.
Besides the class work, campers will take several field trips.
"This program is a combination of role modeling and career opportunities. We basically acknowledge each of their cultures and consequently try to improve their selfesteem."

Associate Director of Minority Affairs
Nations University.
Marcus Jones, a sophomore at Yale University, attended the camp several years ago.
"It was an excellent program," Jones said. "If there are any students who are interested in it, I would say go for it. It helped me to gain more confidence in myself."
The program will be held until June 25 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Interested students can contact the Office of Minority Affairs, which sponsors the program.

Local record company forced to change name
The bubble has burst for The Bubble Boys, whose record label, Unsound Records Inc., is being bulldozed into changing its name by a giant California record label.
THE BUBBLE BASS
BLITTER IS BETTER
But Glotzbach and Peterson will have to rename their company soon.
Joe Glotzbach and Jeff Peterson, Lawrence residents, started Unsound Records Inc. last year. The Bubble Boys are the only band signed to the label, and they have CDs in stores now under the Unsound label.
Last week attorneys in New York informed Glotzbach and Peterson that the name Unsound was being used by Giant Records in California.
Instead of going to court, Unsound Records Inc. has agreed to rename.
The company has 90 days to sell all of the Bubble Boys' CDs. If it doesn't, the CDs will be recalled until a new label is created for them, Glotzbach said.
After the covers are changed to reflect the label's new name, the CDs may be distributed back to the stores.
In the next week, Unsound Records Inc. also will take its advertising and home pages off the Internet and slowly phase out the label, Glotzbach said.
"It's a financial nightmare," he said. "We have CDs out in stores; more in the stock at the office, we have pages on the Internet, and a lot of things need to be changed."
Kory Willis, a manager at the
Love Garden Sounds, 936-1/2 Massachusetts St., said the store had sold quite a few of The Bubble Boys' CDS.
At an in-store release party, the store sold out of them, he said.
"Kids love them. They're good guys," Willis said.
Willis said he had just learned about the change late last week.
They didn't think there would be any problems, he said.
According to Glotzbach, he and Peterson searched the Internet and checked with the Kansas Department of Revenue before creating the name Unsound Records Inc.
But Giant Records will retain the name because of a pending trademark on the name Unsound. Unsound Records Inc. had no trademark.
Glotzbach said that the new name that he and Peterson choose will have a trademark. It's not necessary he said, but, legally, it's a good idea.
The Bubble Boys' latest release, Bitter is Better, is in stores now.

Six years after fire,Hoch almost ready for students and classes
Officials remember Hoch's fiery past
FIRE
By Daniel Ethan Thompson Kansan staff writer
Six years ago last Sunday, $12.8 million worth of Hoch Auditorium burned.
**Above:** Firefighters gathered around Hoch Auditorium on the afternoon of June 16, 1991. Hoch was struck by a bolt of lightning during a storm and caught fire. The fire could not be kept from spreading inside the building, so it was kept away from surrounding buildings instead. **Right:** In a photo that ran in the June 19 edition of the University Daily Kansan, structural engineers are lowered into Hoch to inspect the real wall for structural damage.
Emergency crews and KU faculty remember the day well.
"It was a nice, sunny Saturday afternoon," said斗ation Chief Jerry Karr, who was in command of the Lawrence Fire Department that day.
But about 1 p.m. the storm rolled in.
Packer Plastics Inc., north of Interstate 70, suffered the first lightning strike of the afternoon. Most
afternoon. Most of the Lawrence Fire Department fought the blaze.
Bill Stark was the captain on the reserve engine who responded at 3:20 p.m. to a false alarm at Watson Library.
At 3:29 p.m. Lawrence dispatch center received a call from a KU student reporting Hoch had been struck by lightning. Less than a minute later, the engine at Watson was re- routed to Hoch.
"We were right there," Stark said. "It was raining pretty hard and we just moseyed on down the road. We saw the
"It looked like drops of liquid fire coming down. They were falling into the seats starting multiple fires on the ground level."

smoke from Jayhawk Boulevard."
Two minutes after the KU student called, Karr released another engine to respond to Hoch.
"Usually, we would have 12 to 13 people on a fire on an old building with no internal fire protection," Stark said.
But the department was already overburdened, and part of Hoch went down in history.
In 1925, the Kansas Legislature granted the University of Kansas money to build a new
auditorium to replace those that the University was outgrowing. The price tag was $317,800.
But three years after Hoch opened, it was declared structurally unsafe. The steel rafters used were too small, and it was feared that under a heavy load of snow, the roof would collapse. University officials closed Hoch in the fall of 1930 to reinforce the roof, using a rail car full of mill timbers.
"It was a lumber yard in the attic," Stark said.
Then in 1946, the Board of Regents voted to repair the roof. Although the skylight was covered, the 3,000-pound steel chandelier hanging from the middle was untouched.
That chandelier pulled the lightning through the roof of the auditorium.
Donald Watkins, investigator with the Kansas State Fire Marshal, wrote in his report that, "The chandelier showed severe signs of shorting and arcing ... wires which are non-electrical were fused together."
Karr said the fire that began on the roof quickly started other fires.
THE FIRE IN A BUILDING
Smoke and flames rise from the roof of Hoch Auditorium as seen from the southwest corner of the building.
ARCHIVE PHOTO
"We had drop-down in the main auditorium and big patches of flaming ceiling were falling away," Karr said. "It looked like drops of liqui fire coming down. They were falling into the seats starting multiple fires on the ground level."
Edward Hoch
Five minutes after the attack began, the firefighters reported that the fire had advanced and was spreading to the north.
Karr requested assistance from the fire departments in Overland Park, Lenexa, and Shawnee, just as the fire started burning through the roof.
"Hoch was protected with lightning rods," said Richard Givens, assistant provost. "But the roof was being repaired and the lightning rods were removed."
Givens remembers June 15, 1991, and the fire. After the fire destroyed Hoch, he looked out a window of Malott Hall. "The walls were still standing, but they were buckled and bulging," he said.
Hoch, like all state buildings, was uninsured. The University requested $197,000 of disaster aid from the State Finance Council to cover demolition, clean-up, stabilization and security costs, but it was denied. Money already set aside for refurbishing Hoch paid for necessary work. By using other buildings such as the Military Science building and the Kansas Union, no fall classes were canceled.
In March of 1992, Regents granted the University $18 million to re-build Hoch.
Budig Hall has three lecture halls, two that seat 500, and one that seats 1,000. The multimedia classrooms are as technologically advanced as the University was able to afford, Givens said.
Former Chancellor Gene Budig fought to keep the facade, and in October of 1994 the building was renamed in his honor.
Lawrence architectural firm Glenn Livengood Penzler tried to design a new building using the existing facade and blending it with the more modern Anschutz Science Library.

the glass entrances on either side are the
apex of the transition, but that is not their only purpose. The front doors are too small to handle 4,000 students in 10 minutes.
"With the east and west entrances and the main corridor, we've cut the time needed for the students to change classes by three," Givens said.
Bad weather, inadequate fireproofing and design modifications delayed the completion of Budig Hall.
The revised target date changed with the budget. An additional $4 million was used. Most of the bottom three floors were left incomplete to save money.

"We built the basic structure of the walls, the three lecture classrooms, the entry ways, and bathrooms," Givens said.
Budig Hall was turned over to the University on June 5,1997,10 days short of the sixyear anniversary of the fire. It will be dedicated on Oct.31,1997.

Fish tanks not as simple to care for as they seem
MARY RIVERS
By Crystal Honores Kansan staff writer
Sharon Grieve, Coffeyville senior, looks through her aquarium. Grieve has enjoyed fish for a long time. She has many posters, statues and figurines of fish throughout her house.
Sharon Grieve loves fish. The Coffeyville senior's apartment is filled with fish towels, fish magnets, fish calendars, fish curtains and a dead octopus in a jar.
And, of course, there are live fish in a 42-gallon aquarium.
Like many others, she has learned that there is more to an aquarium than bright, rainbow-colored rocks and glittery decorations. Aquariums require careful planning, maintenance, some basic water chemistry knowledge and patience.
"You're building an entire ecosystem in a small area," said Kate Shaw, collection manager at the Natural History Museum. "You have to have everything in balance — even organisms you can't see."
Shaw said that, contrary to popular belief, smaller aquariums are not easier for beginners to care for because the water chemistry changes too frequently.
She suggested a 35-gallon tank for beginners.
"Anything much more would be too much weight and too much money." Shaw said.
Aquariums also need filters. Filters are essential in providing decent water quality for fish.
"A lot of people think tap water alone is OK for fish after it sits for 24 hours," said Sherry Emerson, co-owner of Pet World, 711 W. 23rd Street.
"When I was younger, you just put in the tap water and dechlorinated it," Grieve said. "Now you have to deal with the pH and nitrate levels."
Now chloramines are added to tap water, and those chemicals don't break down. However, with a little chemical treatment, tap water can be made livable for fish.
Local pet stores sell treated water for those who do not want to treat their own tap water.
Water temperature must also be adjusted before the first fish can be added to the tank. But these fish should be few and hardy.
When Grieve started cycling her 42-gallon hexagon aquarium she was unsure if she should add fish during the startup process.
she was unsure if she should add fish during the start-up process. "We got told several different things from different stores," Grieve said.
That cost her several feeder goldfish, but now Grieve owns gouramies, platies, neon cardinal tetras and angel fish without problem.
Once the aquarium's water is cycled, the next step is fish selection.
A fish can cost anywhere from $1 to $20,000.
"If you're willing to wait and pay, we can usually track down anything legal," Emerson said.
Her store has special ordered sting rays, whale fish and exotic species of eels.
Among the fish that Emerson and Shaw suggested for beginners
were: swordtails, platies, tetras, barbs, guppies and mountain fish.
Most freshwater tropical fish come from fisheries in Florida.
Emerson said that fish sold at independent pet stores come directly from the fisheries, which shortens their travel time. At chain stores, however, fish may change hands several times and travel for five or six days, which can weaken their immune systems.
Despite the time-consuming planning, setting up and cycling of aquariums, many hobbyists develop relationships with their fish.
"It was a pain for a while," Grieve said, "but my fish are clean, pretty, unusual and interesting because I can pet them and they eat out of my hand."

English proficiency requirements debated
Gerald Harris, director of International Student Services, wants to lower the English proficiency requirements for international students.
Harris said the English proficiency requirements at the University of Kansas exceeded those of other Big 12 universities and were a major factor in the University's declining international student enrollment.
But other KU officials said the University's current policies were appropriate and made it possible for international students to succeed in the classroom.
Elizabeth Soppelsa, director of the Applied English Center, said the University's requirements were determined by the faculty and that the requirements should attract international students.
Chuck Seibel, assistant director of the center, said that if Harris's proposal were implemented, it could result in the average student being one or two courses short of the English proficiency currently defined by the University.
Seibel said that Harris's proposal would affect the center's waiver policy as well. The waiver policy now allows students with a degree from a four-year institution in such English-speaking countries as Canada, Britain, or Australia an exemption from taking English proficiency exams.
Harris said that of the Big 12 universities, four require international students to pass the Test Of English as a Foreign Language examination with a score of 500 to be fully admitted students, and six require a score of 550 or less. Barron's Profile of American Colleges states that the University of Kansas requires a score of 570.
However, Soppelsa said *Barron's TOEFL* listing for the University was not accurate. She said the University did not require international undergraduate students to take the TOEFL exam. Instead, they must pass the center's own battery of English proficiency tests with a score of 57 on each portion.
However, using TOEFL's scoring formula, this would equal a score of 570.
Sopselsa said it was the center's responsibility to see that students had sufficient English to participate in university life and pass their courses.
Most faculty want the center to make sure students are not floundering when their

classes begin, Soppela said. She said the center was trying to give the students a fighting chance.
Keiko Imamura, Chiba, Japan, sophomore, said that even though she received a 570 on the TOEFL exam, she received less than 57 on the listening portion of the center's exams and has been required to take three non-credit courses.
Imamura said the writing courses administered at the center were useful but that, because of the language structure, the listening courses were not. She said that she learned more by living in an English-speaking country and listening to others speak.
Harris said the University was competing with other schools in the Big 12 for international students who find it easier and cheaper to get admitted elsewhere. The possibility of having to spend one or two additional semesters in non-credit English courses could potentially make the University the most expensive school in the Big 12.
"Competition in the United States is getting much keener, and if we don't do something about it we'll continue to lose international students," Harris said.
James Kitchen, dean of student life, said he supported Harris's proposal. He said he thought that the University's TOEFL requirements should not be so far ahead of other universities that "it blows us out of the water."
Harris said that although an ad hoc committee had met to consider his proposal and clarify the minimum TOEFL requirements of each department, no decisions had been made by the University.

Groups take Adams challenge
Obstacles help create bonds communication
SPIDER WEB
Bryan Christensen, director of KU Challenge Course and KU graduate student, points at the rope net that people must pass through in the "Spider Web," an obstacle on the KU Challenge Course.
By Gale Garber
Kansan staff writer
"It was like being a kid again swinging through the trees."
Located on the Adams Campus, 12 miles southwest of Lawrence near Clinton Lake, the KU Challenge Course provides rigorous obstacles for ambitious KU students and local groups.
The challenge course is a 220-acre training ground that facilitates team building and cooperation. Its 17 obstacles, which range in difficulty levels, challenge groups to use various problem solving skills.
Bryan Christensen, challenge course director and KU graduate student, said the course was a good way for groups to work on teamwork and communication skills.
"It is interesting watching the various ways each group takes on the different tasks," Christensen said.
Janae Hanna, Edmund, Okla., senior, went through the course with the KU cheerleading squad. Hanna said the experience was valuable.
"It was like being a kid again—swinging through the trees," Hanna said. "But there was no way that a person could go through the course without helping each other."
Some of the obstacles included in the course are two climbing walls, one 10 feet high and another 14 feet high; the web spider, a large rope net through which group members lift each other; and the "land ski" challenge, two long wooden boards on which group members stand to cross-country ski across the woods.
Groups have four hours to complete the course. During that time,
Edmund, Okla., senior
each group member must success-
fully complete an obstacle before
moving on to the next. For
instance, if one person falls,
touches a rope, or peeks through a
blindfold, the group must start
again.
After successfully completing an obstacle, the group and its facilitator discuss what the group members learned about themselves and each other.
Christensen said that groups such as University clubs, student government, fraternities and sororities, residence halls, athletes, and local and regional businesses have completed the course.
Reservations are required to participate in the course. Groups of any size can participate; however Christensen said that he recommended no groups less than five participate.
Proper summer attire for the course summer is comfortable, cool clothing with hiking boots or tennis shoes and mosquito repellent. After a rain, groups should be prepared to get a little muddy.
The cost for groups of 15 or fewer, which require one course facilitator, is $90. Groups with more members, which require more course facilitators, must pay $90 for each additional facilitator. A deposit also is required. Call 864-0794 for more information.

Students beware: sun dries summer fun
Dehydration affects anvone at work, play
By Kirsten Havner
Kansan staff writer
"I have to think about the campers and myself," LaPoint said.
For Mitch LaPoint, KU sports and fitness counselor, summer means being aware of his health as he faces afternoons in intense sun and humidity.
As summer approaches, students spend more time in the sun. With the increased exposure comes the threat of dehydration.
Candye Waitley, nurse health educator at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that many people are unaware of the dangers of not having enough fluid in the body. She said that when someone feels a little under the summer weather, the best remedy may be a glass of water.
"Even during colder months students are probably dehydrated everyday, because most don't drink near enough water," Waitley said.
When people are indoors, the body needs at least eight glasses of water a day, Waitley said. When exercising, people should drink four to eight ounces of water before, and four to eight ounces of water every 30 minutes while exercising. If exercising for longer than 50 minutes, the body needs a sports drink or orange juice to replace the body's electrolytes.
Waitley said that when people are outdoors in the summer, they become dehydrated faster and to a more intense degree. When outdoors, people should drink water before they are thirsty. If they wait until they are thirsty then they are already dehydrated, Waitley said.
LaPoint said the sports and fitness counselors encourage the campers to bring water bottles.
"We want them to stay hydrated and full of energy," he said.
Keith Woods, Lawrence Landscape employee, works outside all day. He said that when he was working he tried to stay in the shade and drink water.
"I probably go through at least a two-gallon jug of water a day," Woods said.
Symptoms and severity of dehydration vary. Waitley said warning signs are a dry and fuzzy tongue, a decrease or halt in sweating and fatigue or lethargy. If urination ceases or is concentrated and limited in volume, that also indicates dehydration, Waitley said.
Alcohol and caffeine consumption also can deplete the body's fluid.
"I usually try to drink water while I am working because the soda and coffee really doesn't help when you're in the sun," said Chris Horon, Kansas Union grounds keeper.
Waitley said the best way to prevent dehydration is to always keep full of liquid and practice prevention by staying out of the heat and trying to keep cool. It also is important to wear cotton clothing, which helps keep body temperature down.
"I probably go through at least a two-gallon jug of water a day."

Lawrence Landscape
She said staying out of the intense heat as much as possible is a key factor in dehydration prevention. Dehydration can occur in or out of the sun.
"College students like to be in the sun for a long time," Waitley said. "Because of this increased exposure and the high level of physical activity, students really are at risk."

Jerod Haase speaks to campers and signs autographs during the Ninth Roy William's Kansas Basketball Camp in Allen Field House, which runs from June 15 to June 19. The camp emphasizes fundamentals, as well as how to succeed outside of basketball. Haase's talk focused on setting goals and living up to those goals. Former Kansas Guard Jacque Vaughn spoke to the group yesterday. The camp is for anyone 8 to 19 years old.

Basketball camp invades Field House
CENTER
But the athletes making these sounds were not members of a KU team. They were 229 girls ranging in age from 8 to 18.
Three times a summer for four days each session, Kansas women's basketball coach Marian Washington holds a basketball camp. Her first session took place last week. This is her 23rd camp.
Allen Field House sounded like a basketball game again last week.
Alisa Ross, a 17-year-old Topeka resident, has attended for nine years.
Athletes yelled. Gym shoes squealed.
Coaches shouted for more effort.
This is how we do it
"It gives me a lot of inspiration," she said. "The coaches give me inspiration to suck it up and keep playing."
Ross said campers up at 7:30 a.m. and spent a full day learning about basketball. They spend most of the morning on drills and fundamental lessons, but evenings are filled with full speed basketball games.
The camp costs $310 for overnight campers and $230 for day campers, though most girls prefer to spend the night.
In addition to teaching fundamental skills.
"I have someone on my staff who is responsible for canvassing the country to find the great teachers and to keep them coming back," said Washington. "Obviously, I also like to get my players involved. Our players do a great job with the girls."
The camp staff is primarily made of high school and college coaches who already have experience teaching basketball to young girls
The camp has grown each year.
"Early on we were working hard to generate interest," she said. "My first year there were 32 girls there. It has taken a long time for the girls to respond to it. You see that reflected in the numbers we have here. I think this is going to turn out to be my largest year."
Washington said she was excited about the
In addition to the normal staff the advanced camp will have instructors who will be players in the Women's National Basketball Association and the American Basketball League, both fledgling female basketball leagues.
"They will primarily be players who are at least 15 years old and have varsity experience," Washington said. "We will approach them like our own team and work them hard. It could be a recruiting tool in the future."
Washington first had the idea for a summer basketball camp in 1974 when she was the women's director of athletics at the University. She originally started several camps in different sports as a means of generating revenue. After finding additional funding two years later, Washington turned the camps over to the individual coaches of each sport.
Mahood saw other advantages that both camps offer aside from the obvious.
"It helps our attendance more than anything else," Mahood said. "The enthusiasm for women's basketball is at an all-time high because of last year's Olympic team."
The girls seem to be enjoying Washington's camp.
"It's very, very fun," said Halston McAtee, a 12-year-old Lawrence resident. "I really like the coaches. They are very nice and they teach you a lot."
Washington will hold additional camps from June 22 to 26 and from June 29 to July 3. The advanced camp will be held from June 26 to 29. Those interested can contact the women's basketball office.
Washington schedules a guest speaker every day to give the girls a different perspective on the game. Past speakers include former KU basketball player Lynette Woodard.

More American cities to have pro hockey teams
Plan will expand NHL by four
The Associated Press
NEW YORK—The NHL is expanding to two cities currently without a major pro sports team and is giving a second chance to two others where hockey previously flopped.
Nashville, Tenn., and Columbus, Ohio, were the first-time cities to win endorsements yesterday from the NHL's expansion committee. The league also plans a return to Atlanta and Minneapolis-St. Paul.
Each new franchise will cost $80 million.
The plan, which will expand the NHL to 30 teams by 2000, still must be approved by the full Board of Governors on June 25. A three-fourths majority of 26 is required, but that is considered little more than a formality.
Nashville — the only of the four cities with an arena currently considered suitable for major league hockey — would begin play in the 1998-99 season. Atlanta would start
the following season, and Columbus and Minneapolis-St. Paul would join in 2000.
"I am confident that the strength of each of the recommended markets and ownership groups will lead to a successful conclusion of this process," said NHL commissioner Gary Bettman.
As part of the expansion plan, the league and the NHL Players' Association agreed to a four-year extension of the Collective
NHL
Bargaining Agreement through September 15, 2004. That also is subject to ratification by the governors and the union.
Losing out in the expansion sweepstakes were Houston and Oklahoma City.
The expansion would give the NHL as many franchises at the turn of the century as the NFL and major league baseball. The NBA has 29 franchises.
The new franchises would mean the league has grown fivefold since 1967, when it doubled in size from
six to 12 teams.
"The expansion committee has worked extremely hard over the past 12 months to formulate an expansion plan that positions the league for significant growth and stability as we head into the next century," Bettman said.
Where it perceives that growth to be is obvious.
By adding four American cities, the league continued a trend away from its Canadian roots. Only six of 30 teams are located north of the border, and in two recent franchise shifts, the Quebec Nordiques became the Colorado Avalanche and the Winnipeg Jets moved to Phoenix
Growing cities — particularly in the West and the Sunbelt — have been preferred by the league over Canada. Even the Edmonton Oilers, who had the league's most recent dynasty, are looking to relocate with apparently no prospects of remaining in Canada.
"This has been a very long and, at times, a very difficult process," said Craig Leipold, majority owner of the Nashville team.
Leipold and his partner, Gaylord Entertainment Co., were adamant that they start playing in 1998.
Red Wings' player, masseur remain in coma after accident
The Associated Press
ROYAL OAK, Mich. — Vladimir Konstantinov, a star defenseman for the Detroit Red Wings, and the team's masseur remained in critical condition yesterday as authorities investigated the limousine crash that injured the men.
The accident Friday also injured Wings defenseman Viacheslav Fetisov, 39, who was in good condition yesterday, Stimmel said. Fetisov could be released soon, she said.
Konstantinov, 30, and Sergei Mnatsakanov, 43, are in comas at William Beaumont Hospital, said hospital representative Colette Stimmel.
The three men were returning from a golf outing six days after
the Red Wings' Stanley Cup championship when the limousine they were riding in crossed two lanes, jumped a curb, careened off a pole and slammed into a tree in suburban Birmingham. Witnesses said the limousine's brakes had not been used.
Birmingham police said Monday that the limousine's driver, Richard Gnida, might have fallen asleep. He was driving with a suspended license, according to the Secretary of State's office.
Police said they hoped to talk soon with Gnida and Fetisov. Police did not return telephone messages yesterday.
The Detroit Free Press, quoting unidentified sources, reported yesterday that Fetisov had told his family that the three passengers had noticed that the driver had appeared to fall asleep. The passengers then screamed to try to wake him, the Free Press said.
Gnida, 28, will be charged for
driving with a suspended license, authorities said. They are looking into other charges.
Gnida, who sustained minor injuries in the accident, was released Sunday.
An investigation by the Michigan State Police has not turned up any mechanical problems. Authorities said there was no evidence that alcohol or drugs had played a role
Gnida's driving license had been revoked because of a bad driving history, according to the Secretary of State's office.
Since 1994, Glida had been ticketed for driving under the influence and twice for speeding, according to state records.
Late Monday, police cleared the accident site of Red Wings memorabilia and told some Red Wings fans keeping vigil nearby to leave. The Oakland Press of Pontiac reported yesterday that police said the shrine was a hazard and had caused five accidents in two days.

Baltimore outfielder Eric Davis doing well after cancer surgery
The Associated Press
BALTIMORE — Baltimore Orioles outfielder Eric Davis had a cancerous tumor removed from his colon last week and is expected to recover, although follow-up treatment could keep him sidelined the rest of the season.
Keith Lillemoe, Davis' surgeon, said all the cancer in the colon was removed during the June 13 operation. The tumor, which was roughly the size of a baseball, was removed.
However, doctors are discussing the possible role of chemotherapy to ensure the cancer is kept in check.
"The surgery was very successful. The tumor was confined to the colon and removed the cancerous segment and he's recovered nicely," said Lillemoe, a professor of surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
"I'd say he has a favorable prognosis. We're very optimistic," said Lillemoe, adding that he will recommend chemotherapy.
The 35-year-old Davis, in a statement, said, "I am feeling well and looking forward to making a complete recovery. I hope to be back on the playing field as soon as I possibly can." That may be a while.
That may be a while.
"We're taking a wait-and-see attitude," general manager Pat Gillick said. "We think it will be a minimum of six to eight weeks. We're hopeful he will resume this season, but I would not say it's highly probable."
Davis, who joined the Orioles as a free agent this season, was put on the disabled list May 31. He last played a game on May 25 and was hitting .302 with seven home runs and 21 RBIs when he went on the list.
Although he had only been with Baltimore a few months, his outgoing personality made him popular in the clubhouse. At least two of the Orioles, Tony Tarasco and Lenny Web-

shape. Hopefully he can return by the end of the year and continue his career," Tarasco said. "I'm keeping up hope — a big range of hope — not only that he'll be able to come back and play but be an impact player."
The clubhouse was rather somber yesterday afternoon, hours before the Orioles were to play the Montreal Expos at Camden Yards.
"If you know Eric, you won't bet against him," Webster said. "I really miss him. I wish he was here with us, but he's here in spirit and that's all we can get right now."
Davis was originally diagnosed with an abdominal abscess, but X-rays revealed a mass that was determined to be cancer. The portion of the colon and parts of the intestine on either side were taken out along with the tumor.
Before signing with Baltimore as a free agent in December, Davis spent nine seasons with the Cincinnati Reds, including last year, and also played for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Detroit Tigers.
Davis played in two All-Star games with the Reds and also helped them win the 1990 World Series.

Vaughn, the 1995 American League MVP, was placed on the 15-day disabled list and replaced on the active roster by outfielder Jesus Tavarez, whose contract was purchased from Pawtucket of the International League.
"You can't really replace Mo Vaughn," manager Jimy Williams said. "We are in a tough situation. But we all have challenges in life. I feel good about the guys I'm putting out there tonight."
Tavarez, 26, was batting 266 with three home runs and 22 stolen bases in 59 games at Pawtucket. He spent his first full major league season with Florida last year when he hit .219 with no home runs and five stolen bases in 98 games.
With Vaughn sidelined, righthanded hitting Mike Stanley and lefty Reggie Jefferson are expected to share time at first base.
Vaughn is seventh or better in seven AL offensive categories. He is fourth in the league with 20 home runs and also leads Boston with 45 RBIs, 49 runs, 43 walks and a .441 on-base percentage.
His .335 batting average was second on the team to Jefferson's .338 going into the June 17 game against Philadelphia.
Wide receiver Monk retires with record
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Quietly, Art Monk went about becoming one of the best wide receivers in NFL history. Just as quietly, he retired yesterday, more than a year after catching his final pass.
Monk, who failed to sign with an
NFL team last season, played 14 seasons with the Washington Redskins and one each with the New York Jets in 1994 and the Philadelphia Eagles in 1995.
"I had a good career, a great time, and it's time to move on and do other things," the 39-year-old receiver said. "I felt like I could have performed (last year), it was just the opportunities weren't there. Things just weren't the same."

"I will always consider myself a Redskin," Monk said. "I played this game since I was 11 years old. It's all I knew. No matter how well you prepare yourself for leaving football, the adjustment is tough."
Monk caught 940 passes for 12,721 yards and 68 touchdowns. Drafted in the first round out of Syracuse in 1980. Monk set Redskins records for most career receptions (888) and career yards (12,026). He also
holds the club's top three marks for receptions in a season — 106 in 1984, 91 in 1985 and 86 in 1989.
Only one other player, linebacker Monte Coleman, has been on the field for the Redskins more than Monk, who played 205 games. Coleman played 216 games.
Monk said he planed to concentrate on business and foundation work in the Washington area. He also intends to play golf and to fish.
"I can relax and clear my head," he said.
Title IX celebrates 25th anniversary with Clinton
Famous athletes recall difficulties in days before law
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Joined by former astronaut Sally Ride and Olympian Jackie Joyner-Kersee, President Clinton hailed the 25th anniversary yesterday of a law barring sex discrimination in schools.
Clinton also broadened the reach of
the law, ordering federal agencies to follow it even though some programs aren't technically covered. The order would apply to schools run by the Defense Department and Bureau of Indian Affairs, as well as the awarding of fellowships and other aid.
"We're here to celebrate the God-given talent of every woman and girl who has been benefited by it," Clinton said at a ceremony attended by successful women in occupations from medicine to firefighting.
The law, Title IX, did not cause women to succeed, Clinton said. "But it did give them the chance to make the most of their abilities."
At yesterday's event, the women told stories of life before and after Title IX, which is best known for promoting equality in school athletics but was equally important in opening academics.
She considered cheerleading as an alternative to sports in those early years.
"I really didn't understand why the coach made the long-jump pit in his back yard," said Joyner-Kersee, winner of six Olympic medals in track and field. She described the ordeal of taking a backseat to boys' sports when she was a child, sometimes forced to practice at 6 or 7 p.m.
She was 10 when the law was passed.
and years later she received an athletic scholarship at UCLA.
Even first lady Hillary Fodham Clinton had a sports story, talking about how she was limited to half-court basketball because a full-court game was considered too stressful for girls. Mrs. Clinton, a lawyer, remembered, too, how some colleges were closed to her.
Ride, who on June 18, 1983, became the first woman to fly in space, witnessed Title IX as an athlete and as a scientist.
She played tennis at Stanford University, but had no scholarship. "I would have appreciated Title IX being earlier," she told reporters after the event. But
since then, Ride has witnessed the addition of women's sports programs at Stanford.
She also mentioned the growing number of women in the space program. "Things have really changed, and Title IX had a lot to do with that," said Ride, a physics professor at the University of California, San Diego, and director of the California Space Institute.
An Education Department study released yesterday noted overall progress for women since Title IX, including increased numbers of women in law and medicine. But the report noted that women still lag behind in math, physical science and engineering.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
In memory of LaTina Sullivan
The editor of the Kansan died Wednesday, June 11, 1997, but her insights and friendships live on. Two of LaTina's columns from last semester and several comments from her friends appear
as a memorial to her.
I remember LaTina saying, "That's just not right" after explaining her straightforward viewpoint about an issue to an audience, which by then was laughing at her humor. Unfortunately, it's her phrase that best describes our loss.
Kristie Blasi Caney senior
--in reality, most people just like to sit around and complain that the media is this big bad entity that is out to get people of color.
I was a student with Tina in Cheryl Lester's African American Cultural Studies class. I was also on the Editorial Board of the Kansan this spring.
I received my M.A. in Creative Writing from KU this May.
I didn't know Tina well, though I would have liked to. When she was alive, I worried that she didn't like or respect me. Now that she's dead, that worry — which is all ego, really — is gone. Now I wonder if Tina knew how much I respected her, how much I admired her. I wonder if she had any inking that simply knowing her, albeit briefly and impersonally, means something big and largely incomprehensible to me.

Stupidity comes in all shapes, sizes and colors. Those of us unfortunate enough to attend Spike Lee's lecture saw stupidity in one of its purest forms.
Spike Lee fan did the wrong thing at speech
I'll probably get some flak for writing this, but I don't care. If you're bold enough to act like a fool in front of 1,950 people, then you're bold enough to handle the criticism and social commentary that comes with the territory.
For those who didn't attend the lecture or haven't heard about "You Know," he was the ever-so-cool, hip-brother who "you know what I'm saying ... just wanted to lead his people ... 'cause you know what I'm saying ... can help a brother out?"
His questions and comments dragged on in this manner for five minutes until Spike told him he could come backstage and talk to him. "You Know" then proceeded down the aisle with his ever-so-down gaunta' walk.
I'm all for individual expression and realize that people have the right to express themselves as they see fit.
However, I am offended when individual expression turns into a clown show, manages to portray disturbing stereotypes about African Americans and invalidates the accomplishments of the true unsung leaders on this campus - those who work diligently behind the scenes to ensure that the journey for the next African-American student will be easier.
In five minutes, "You Know" portrayed African-American KU students as incoherent, rambling idiots who can't verbally express themselves or get organized unless some film director shows them the way. He also managed to slip in the "we can't resist the urge to steal 'cause you know... it's just too tempting."
For those who missed it, after Spike finished his lecture, "You Know" walked across the stage and -oh so smoothly - slipped a bottle of water off the table.
These actions made me crine, but what really made me angry was that "You Know" had the audacity to say that he wanted to "you know ... organize (he's not sure for what) ... and lead (only God knows where) his people."
With this utterance he belittled the many unnoticed accomplishments that African-American students have achieved on campus.
I think it's time that African-American students who are not involved in athletics are recognized for their contributions to the University of Kansas. During the course of a semester the Black PanHellenic Council, Black Student Union and other African-American student groups have offered free peer tutoring and counseling, brought inner-city children to the University to show them their options, organized an African-American resource fair, organized bone marrow drives, volunteered in nursing homes and the Boys and Girls Club, and the list goes on. These people are full-time students and do this work above and beyond their full-time course loads and jobs.
With little or no recognition, these students give their time and energy because they have an interest in their campus community. Instead of asking others, who will not take an active interest in KU's African-American community, for help, these students take matters into their own hands.
All smiles after the Office of Minority Affairs banquet the Saturday night before graduation were LaTina Sullivan (left); James Kitchen, Dean of Student Life; and Ayshea Charity, a close friend.
And they will continue to do so, not for attention, but because they are true leaders and realize that organization and leadership have a lot to do with hard work, commitment and dedication and little to do with empty rhetoric.
You know what I'm saying?
—Published Feb. 21, 1997
LaTina's two greatest qualities were her friendliness and her perseverance. Whenever I walked into the newsroom (and I did that a lot), LaTina would say hi and smile. She never missed a beat. And that meant more to me than I'm sure she ever knew, especially on days when nothing was going right. I could always count on her support and encouragement. I hope she felt she could count on me, too. Her friendliness is all the more admirable because she also was one of the most busy, hardworking people I knew. Unfortunately, we never got around to many of the movies, dinners and beers we had planned. She took her jobs and her classes seriously. She didn't have to take the time to get to know me, but she did. And for that, sad as I am at losing her, I am grateful to have known her.

I knew from the first time I met LaTina that she was special. Our relationship began formally – I was her copy chief, and she was a copy editor for the Kansan. But we quickly became friends, and she became one of my best copy editors. Later we worked on projects together - some fun, some not so fun. But LaTina always had a smile on her face. Not only was LaTina a talented journalist, she was a genuine and caring individual. When she asked me to be her managing editor for the summer Kansan. I knew right away I wanted to do it. I couldn't imagine a better person to work for. I was right. For the short time LaTina was editor, the newsroom was a comfortable and enjoyable place to work. She was so full of great ideas, and she had an unstoppable motivation. I will miss her and the opportunity to see her develop as a journalist.

We had only been friends for about a year and a half but our relationship grew so quickly. I can hardly believe we came so far in so little time, but I'm glad we did. You will always be in my heart.

I am glad I had an opportunity to meet you. You were a bright and inspiring person. I will always remember you for your positiveness toward me and your faithfulness as a friend.
I remember when we first were roommates 4 years ago, I was afraid we would not get along. You said, "oh yes, we will get along." You had no doubt in your mind then. That was the same type of positive attitude that stayed with you and flourished on to other people. I love you Tina. I will never forget the many memories you left behind in my heart.
Laurie Riley
This summer was going to be our time to escape the Kansan for a while. During our lunches this semester we'd discuss the places where we were going to go to enjoy some of Lawrence's finest beverages. But because we can't live out our plans, I volunteered to write your life story for the newspaper — I hope you think I did alright. I must admit I was a bit jealous interviewing your close friends — they all had countless stories to share about you or laughs to relive. I miss you LaTina and I wish you had more time together in the past few weeks. But to list my regrets would be pointless, so just know that I'll never get some 'fresh air' on the back dock without thinking of you. You are an amazing person with sarcasm I truly appreciate and a drive that is rare. I am proud to say that I knew you.

A few days ago LaTina and I discussed what she planned to do after graduating in August. She was planning to move to Phoenix and hoped to find a job writing for a magazine.
LaTina was on the brink of coming into her own, of fully blossoming. After accomplishing so much at KU, LaTina was ready for the "real world" – the colorful, rich world full of challenges and opportunities. I had the sense that her talents and spirit would soar out there. I was looking forward to watching her journey unfold.
So it is a shock to have everything change so suddenly. She won't be going on the journey that I had imagined. She is on a different path now. Her spirit is soaring somewhere else.
May God's blessings and care be with her.
Bayliss Harsh Watson Library
Above all, Tee, I have admired your tough love, your humor, your wisdom, and your integrity, but I have also been thrilled to watch and sometimes share your successes as an uncompromising student, a writer with a clear view of the human condition, a journalist and media-junkie, a caregiver, a grown woman, an old soul, a soul sister, a Black Southern migrant, a leader. How much I miss you. I have so much more to say, but I have to run. Haven't I always had to run? And like all the other times, I believe you will rejoin me soon, with your big smile, your loving ways, your mischievous laugh, and your great huge spirit. See ya later, Tina, I love you.
-Cheryl Lester, Associate Professor of English and American Studies
--in reality, most people just like to sit around and complain that the media is this big bad entity that is out to get people of color.
From the first time that I met Tina, it was clear that she was going to do things on her own time and her own way. She did not even know of all the things she had to offer to the Lawrence community, to KU, and to all of us. When she met Cheryl Lester, it was as if a window had opened. Without a doubt, it was the best match I ever made during my years as coordinator of the Dean's Scholars Program. Cheryl understood better than any of us that Tina would only dance to her own music and that she was determined to write her own story. Her relationship with Cheryl showed Tina that it was alright, even if at times others did not understand her need to make her own mold instead of fitting into those already made. They became much more than a great student-teacher team, more than a mentor-mentee match; they became true friends. Tina grew deep, strong roots and flourished in our community; it was a privilege to be able to watch her grow.
Now, Tina has left in the same way that she came to us. On her own time. Her own way. And I guess we don't have to understand it; just be thankful that we had the opportunity to see Tina dance to her own music and write her own story. I, for one, will never forget her.

From a bright-eyed freshman to a senior running the summer *Kansan*, LaTina did a lot in a little time while at KU. Her smile, her laughs, her conversations will all be missed.
Thank you LaTina for being an example of perseverance, your help, memories and just being you.

Sometimes it's easy to get lost in all the excitement of campus and community activism, but you were always able to keep me (and yourself) on the right track of where this campus needs to go. Your sense of justice and passion for the struggle inspire us all. Lest we forget where we came from, your memory will remain forever in our minds of what is right, and what is wrong in the world — and what each of us must do to change that.

Imagine this.
Don't lament media help make it better
You're sitting around kicking it with your friends, and you turn on the television or pick up the newspaper and notice that you're not represented.
There aren't any people of color on America's top 10 television shows, and the only time representatives from your ethnic background are on the evening news is when they're in handcuffs.
So, do you start getting angry and begin to ask your friends why you aren't represented?
Wait. Before you start throwing around conspiracy theories, ask yourself this question: What am I doing instead of running my mouth?
If you have been on the school newspaper (not high school) or have contributed in any way to make sure that your group is adequately represented in the media, then you can stop reading.
Whv is that?
However, I do work at the Kansan, and let me tell you there are not many people of color working here — let's see ... there's one ... two ... three ... four ... five (wait that's me again) ... OK there's a total of four people of color out of about 100 people who work on the Kansan news staff.
Are we what W.E.B. DuBois called the talented 10th? Or are we just so damn smart, witty or journalistically savvy that we can fairly represent all the many diverse groups on the University of Kansas campus?
I don't think so.
Now, don't get me wrong. I am usually the first to admit that the media, including The University Daily Kansan, has made and will continue to make mistakes when it comes to adequate coverage on people of color. However, the only way that people of color can make change happen is to become more proactive and not reactive.
If you're upset because the movies Love Jones, (God forbid) Booty Call or the ever-so-sweet sounds of Badium didn't get reviewed, then join the Kansan staff and become an entertainment reporter. If you want more coverage of the Asian Student Union, Black Student Union, international issues or Native American issues, then join the editorial board, or become a reporter or a columnist.
If you want the Kansan to look and feel more like you, you have to become involved and make sure that you're represented.
If you feel that you just want to be heard, then join the Kansan. This is perhaps the only time in your life that will have the majority of the KU student body and faculty willing to hear what you have to say.
And working on the Kansan is a small step toward creating a better image of people of color in the media. If you don't do it, then who will?
I'm sure that all of the people of color who work here could try to represent all of our racial affiliations, but I know that Black people would get tired of me reviewing everything that ever came out by Whitney Houston.
Basically, what I'm trying to say is that it is almost impossible for four people to try to create a more positive image of people of color. We can't undo generations and generations of bad media portrayals.
However, we do what we can, and we make sure that we are represented and represented well. But, we can't do it alone. We need your help. So, the next time you feel that the Kansan is the most racist and culturally insensitive paper in the world, open it up and see if your byline is there. And if it isn't, guess what?
You, too, have helped to create what you have called a racist, culturally insensitive paper. But it's not too late.
Drop by the Kansan or give me a call and tell me what you're interested in doing. Applications for fall and summer positions are available.
It only takes one person's voice to help create change,
however, 50 voices will make sure you get heard.

Teen-age mom charged with murder of newborn
A grim-looking Drexler, wearing a flowered skirt and a blue denim top with matching nail polish, surrendered with her parents and stood before a judge yesterday to face the charges of murder and endangering the welfare of a child.
FREEHOLD, N.J. — A teen-ager who gave birth at her prom and then returned to the dance floor was charged with murder yesterday after an autopsy concluded the baby was strangled or suffocated in a plastic bag taken from the sanitary-napkin receptacle in the bathroom.
Prosecuters said 18-year-old Melissa Drexler may have even used the sharp edge of the receptacle to cut the umbilical cord before dumping the body of the newborn boy in a trash can June 6.
If convicted, Drexler could get life in prison. Prosecutors said they do not plan to seek the death penalty.
Movie and TV actor Brian Keith found dead
"Go tell the boys we'll be right out," Drexler yelled to a friend in the bathroom before coming out of the stall, according to prosecutor John Kave. He said she put her loose-fitting black gown back on and went back to the prom dance floor, leaving the bathroom splattered with blood.

MALIBU, Calif. — Brian Keith, the gruff star of TV's "Family Affair" and "Hardcastle & McCormick," was found dead yesterday at his home, an apparent suicide. He was 75.
Keith had been suffering from cancer, said his manager's representative. Tabloid reports said
PETER HOLMES
Keith had lung cancer and emphysema
Brian Keith
"He was a crusty old character but a lot of fun," said Paul Doherty, whose firm handled Keith's work in commercials.
"A wonderful guy, wonderful talent. Keith appeared in movies throughout the 1950s and '60s, including comedies such as Disney's "The Parent Trap" in 1961 and "With Six You Get Egg Roll" with Doris Dauin in 1968.
The Associated Press
In "Family Affair," which ran on CBS from 1966 to 1971, the burly, blond-haired Keith played Uncle Bill, a bachelor raising his two orphaned nieces and nephew — Buffy, Cissy and Jody — with the help of a proper English butler, Mr. French, portrayed for most of the series by Sebastian Cabot.
Keith played retired Judge Milton G. Hardcastle in the ABC crime drama "Hardcastle & McCormick" from 1983 to 1986.
The findings contrast with suicides among the general population, which were attributed largely to poor heath.
Suicide rate high for Japanese executives
The study reported by Kyodo News agency said bankruptcies and unemployment caused 29 percent of the suicides, with business mistakes and quarrels with colleagues accounting for an equal share.
TOKYO — Suicides by Japanese business executives are increasing amid corporate restructuring and a long economic slump, a report by the National Police Agency said yesterday.
The report said 478 executives killed themselves last year, up from 411 the previous year.
The number of suicides among corporate and business executives peaked in 1986 at 487 and declined until the burst of rampant land and stock speculation in the early 1990s.

After five years, the Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition may soon finalize a contract with the University of Kansas.
Richard Buck, chairman of GTAC's negotiations committee said Monday that University administrators and GTAC were near an agreement, but were waiting for the State Health Care Commission to determine
whether graduate teaching assistants were eligible for health-care benefits.
GTAUNION
That ruling came yesterday when the commission agreed in a 3-2 vote to offer a health-care plan to all students enrolled at Regents' institutions, said Daniel R. Stanley, state of Kansas secretary of administration.
The new plan could offer health-care coverage to University employees who are full-time, Stanley said. GTAs would benefit from the plan as well as graduate research assistants and other faculty, he said.
The University employs about 1,000 GTAs, 20 to 25 percent of whom are members of GTAC.
The University and the GTAC said they were pleased with the Health Care Commission's findings.
The Joint Committee on Regulations and Administration then would decide how to implement the changes in student coverage.
But before GTAs receive the coverage, a public hearing must be held. Stanley said the public hearing probably will be scheduled sometime this summer.
Provost David Shulenburger said the University is on its way to having health care available for GTAs and research assistants.
"It is what we wanted and what we expected from the health care commission," he said.
"This is what we've been waiting for. We're very happy," said Richard Buck, chairman of GTAC's negotiating committee.
KU administration and GTAC negotiation committees will meet tomorrow to discuss the commission's decision. Shulenburger and Buck said they hoped a final agreement would be reached on the GTAC's proposals.

Friends recall editor's gifts
Speakers describe her as thoughtful
By Ann Marchand
Kansan staff writer
Thoughtful, compassionate, feisty and happy were a few of the words used by some of the 170 people who gathered in Alderson Auditorium on Thursday for a memorial service for LaTina Sullivan.
Sullivan's sorority sisters inducted her into the Omega Omega chapter of Delta Sigma Theta.
She also was remembered by Chancellor Robert Hemenway, who taught Sullivan in his American Literature II course. Hemenway mourned Sullivan's death and reflected on the importance of living life to the fullest, which he said Sullivan did.
An outgoing person, Sullivan, 23, was remembered amid tears shed by friends, faculty and family.
Sullivan, Memphis, Tenn., senior, died June 11 of an asthma attack.
"She was bright and vital and focused," he said. "Students are young; they're not supposed to die. I don't feel like I have very
much wisdom or solace.
In the University, students always think about the future. Maybe what we have to remember is that we need to focus on today as well as tomorrow."
Sullivan had served as the summer editor of the Kansan and previously had worked as a copy editor and assistant edi torial page editor.
"LaTina's life was far more than just working hard — she brought a keen intelligence and a diligence to all she did," said Tom Eblen, general manager of the Kansas. "Her loss, sadly, makes us less than what we were."
Members of Sullivan's family shared a side of her that few in Lawrence knew. The only girl in a set of triplets, Sullivan grew up with her niece, Lolita Robinson, 24, and her two brothers, Eddie and Edgar.
LaTina Sullivan
Robinson and Eddie Sullivan attended the service and recounted childhood memories.
Cheryl Lester, associate professor of English and Sullivan's mentor, also said that she felt a part of her left with her student's death, but Lester credits Sullivan with helping her academically and personally.
"We called ourselves 'The Jackson 4.'" Robinson said. "We made her Randy or Tito because she couldn't dance. But right now it's hard because one of us is missing."
"It was clear very early on that LaTina and I had a lot to learn from each other," she said. "It wasn't very long before I learned more about reading than she learned from me."
Ayshea Charity, a recent KU graduate and close friend of Sullivan's, led the service. She and Sullivan had planned to move to Arizona when Sullivan graduated in August. Charity said she and Sullivan had shared both the bond of their sorority sisterhood and their hopes and dreams for the future.
Charity said she was grateful to have known Sullivan, if only for a short time.
"To me, she was a beacon of light, and any of us who were close enough to stand in her light were truly blessed." she said.
Other participants eched those sentiments throughout the service, which was not only a lamentation of Sullivan's death but also a celebration of her life.
Bayliss Harsh, a reference assistant who hired Sullivan to work at Watson Library, said the full auditorium spoke highly of how Sullivan had spent her time at the University.
"It's clear that she gave so much to so many in her short life," she said.

Radio station requesting more power, bigger area
KJHK awaiting FCC nod on wattage increase
By Daniel Ethan Thompson
Kansan staff writer
KJHK wants to crank it up in Kansas. If the Federal Communications Commission approves its request, the University of Kansas radio station will increase its power from 300 to 3,500 watts next fall.
James Crutchfield, FCC supervisor of processing, said the main concern before granting power-upgrade permits was whether the station met engineering requirements. Crutchfield said the FCC must consider the power increase in addition to any changes in the antenna and transformer structures.
Because the station already is operating, Crutchfield said KJHK easily should meet all legal requirements.
"They have met them at this time, or they wouldn't have the permit now," he said.
No structural changes are planned now. Katich said.
The power increase will be financed by private donors and by the $3-student-media fee. Fifty-five thousand dollars already have been allocated to the radio station by Student Senate.
"There is talk of taking the tower down," he said. "But there has been talk of taking down the tower for 15 years."
Tearing the 162-foot tower down behind Marvin Hall would require eight pieces of hardware to be relocated.
"I don't think it will cost more than $55,000 to $60,000, including the transmitter, antenna, coaxial cable and the labor," said John Katich, associate professor and head of the radio and television sequence. But the bidding hasn't been opened vet. he said.
Even without a new tower, Katich said the increase in power would give KJHK a 30-mile-radius broadcasting capability.
"The J-school was never behind them, and I think they'll realize other people outside of Lawrence will want to hear it," he said. "It's nice for the current and future staff that more people can hear them."
Jeff Petterson, assistant music director at Lawrence's KLZR and a KJHK alumnus, said the station was excited for KJHK.
But will the improved KJH invade KLZR's air space?
KLZR operates with 100,000 watts and broadcasts in a 90-mile radius.
But in an area where KJHK hasn't been a choice in the past, KJHK could take away listeners. Petterson said.
"We're the most listened-to radio station in Douglas County, and I doubt that our listeners would change," Peterson said. "We're in a different league."
Bob Gould, general manager of KISF in Kansas City said, "The impact on 107.3 will be negligible at best."

Education loses $800,000
Contract to create assessment tests is not renewed
By Rebecca Osladil
Kansan staff writer
A decision by the Kansas State Board of Education not to renew a contract with the University of Kansas could result in a loss of jobs and a diminished role for the University in assessing statewide education standards.
The board recently voted not to renew an $800,000 contract with the School of Education to develop and administer assessment tests to primary and secondary students.
"It's not that we are doing a bad job making the tests,it's just that the board wants to change the blueprints."
"If there aren't grants to replace it, then some staff positions may be eliminated," said John Poggio, associate dean of education administration. "But right now this just means we have that much less money to work with. We will just go look for grants in other places."
"State curriculum standards are blueprint," Poggio said. "It's
Poggio said the Center for Educational Testing and Evaluation had created and administered assessment tests for the state's schools since 1980.

not that we are doing a bad job making the tests, it's just that the board wants to change the blueprints."
The board wants to change the purpose, focus and methodology of the tests, Poggio said.
He said board members wanted the exams to test basic skills so that the board could monitor students' academic progress. He said board members wanted to limit the tests to a multiple-choice format.
But the test developed by the center evaluated students' problem-solving skills and ability to incorporate information with essay questions, scientific experiments and more complex math problems.
"These are the kinds of skills people will be looking for in the students when they go to get
jobs," Poggio said.
The federal government requires each state to measure student-achievement levels. The tests are given as part of the school-accreditation system
The board has not determined how students will be tested next year, but the board is scheduled to discuss assessment testing on July 8 and 9, said Karen Gallagher, dean of education administration.
roggio said that the board had discussed buying a standard multiple-choice test, which would not be designed for the Kansas curriculum.
"It is highly improbable that they could find something which would measure the state curriculum standards," Poggio said. "We individualize the tests for the students based on the curriculum standards which the board sets."
The center had planned to begin designing the tests this week.
Alumnus rises to new post
New vice chancellor holds KU bachelor's, master's and doctorate degrees
By Una Hart
Kansan staff writer
The new assistant vice chancellor for the Office of Information Services bleeds crimson and blue.
Richard L. McKinney graduated from the University of Kansas in 1980 with a bachelor's degree in computer science. He then completed a master's degree in business and a doctorate in educational policy and leadership — both while working at the University as a research assistant, which he began doing in 1982.
His new responsibilities as assistant vice chancellor for the Office of Information Services will begin July 1. McKinney has been director of the Office of Budget Management and Fiscal Services since 1991.
"It is one of those neat things that just comes along, and I'm very excited," McKinney said.
Yorkshire and Humberside
McKinney will be responsible for administrative computing operations, networking and telecommunications and KU Printing Services.
Richard McKinnev
McKinney said he hoped that there would be no glitches in the transition to his new job. He will concentrate his efforts on payroll and student records.
"I want to ensure that we maintain our present services, because that is what the University community needs and deserves."
"The people at KU are topnotch." McKinney, said
"They are dedicated to their jobs. That has made my work a joy, and it continues to be a joy."
William J. Crowe, vice chancellor for information services, said McKinney's appointment was the result of administrative restructuring.
Having been employed at the University for the last 15 years and attending the University has a given McKinney a unique understanding of information services, Crowe said.
"He identifies with our customers and with our staff, and he identifies with our philosophy of respect and value for each and every employee," Crowe said.
McKinney will replace Jerry Niebaum, who has been executive director of information technology services since 1994.

Fraternity brings old house back to life
Phi Kappa Tau gets new home in fall
By Graham Johnson Kansan staff writer
The old Acacia house will come alive with the sounds of fraternity life again this August when the men of Phi Kappa Tau move in after completely renovating the empty structure.
"Everyone was glad to see it get fixed up. It was sitting there derelict for quite some time," said Phil Harrison, Phi Kappa Tau's Housing Coordinator. The house at 1100 Indiana St., has been empty since the Acacia chapter closed in 1983.
Phi Kappa Tau will get a new house that finally meets their needs. Members said they were looking forward to the move.
"It's so exciting. I don't know how else to put it. Moving from such a small place to such a big place gives us so much more potential to be a huge force on campus," said Chad King, house manager and member.
MARY BELKMAN HOME
Size will be the biggest improvement over the fraternity's previous home at 1232 Ohio St. The old house accommodated only 24 people. The new house will hold 55 members this year and the fraternity hopes to grow to a maximum of 70 men.
"It gives us a chance to have all of our members live together and have a larger membership," King said.

Damon Miller, Overland Park junior, said the biggest improvement would be the location of the stairway.
Such difficulties with the old house made the move necessary.
"A major difference will be having stairs on the inside. Stairs at the Ohio location were on the outside, which made things

Their previous house was meant to be a temporary residence, King said. The housing committee implemented a 10-year project to find a bigger permanent residence.
Construction on the new Phi KappaTau house is near a close.The house would be ready for fraternity members to move into in July.
When the Acacia property became available, the committee bought it and began a renovation project at a cost of more than $1 million.

The Acacia fraternity decided to close the KU chapter after the 1992-1993 school year because of declining membership and other problems.
Harrison said that the members of the fraternity chose to renovate this house rather than build a new one mainly because Indiana Street was an ideal location.
"It looks completely new on the inside," Harrison said.
Members are looking at the move as an opportunity to give the chapter a higher profile on campus.
"We know that we have a good thing, and we're going to be in a position to share that with the rest of the community," said Juan Heath, Osawatomic senior. "It's really like a clean slate for us."
The most notable project is the construction of a new house for Sigma Alpha
The Phi Kappa Tau project is one of many fraternity house renovations going on this summer and in the near future.

The house on West Campus Road was razed last fall. Fraternity officials said they expected construction on the new one to begin in a few weeks and be finished by the fall of 1998.
Other renovations scheduled are at Phi
Gamma Delta this summer, Kappa Sigma this fall and spring and Sigma Chi next year.
Bill Nelson, Organizations & Activities Center advisor for Greek affairs, said all of the renovation did not mean the fraternity housing situation was in crisis but rather reflected the strength of alumni support for
fraternities at the University.
"There are chapter houses at the University of Kansas that are being torn down and renovated that would be some of the most superior housing on other campuses. Many people are amazed that some of our chapter houses are being torn down," Nelson said.

Sentence of 15 years too harsh for teens in "stop sign murder"
When three teen-agers in Tampa, Fla., removed a stop sign from a rural intersection one night last year, they could hardly have thought that their actions would cause the deaths of three other teens. Certainly, they would not have guessed that more than a year later they would be sentenced to 15 years in prison for the deaths.
Yet, this is what happened last Friday in a decision that devastated the convicted teens, now in their 20s, and their families.
The sentence was considered "light" compared to the 50-year prison terms that the judge could have given, but even this sentence may have been extreme.
For the families of the three 18-year-olds who were killed, 15 years out of the convicted criminals' lives probably seemed a small amount, considering that their children may have had many
Case may prevent future deaths, but judge should have been more lenient
years beyond that. However, the two groups of teens' roles could easily have been reversed.
The convicted teens were certainly not the first to steal stop signs or other street signs: this traditionally has been a common past time among teens and even college students who may be bored or looking for new decorations for their bedrooms or apartments.
Few of these "potential murderers" think about the possible death, injury, or destruction that removing the occasional yield, one way, or stop sign could cause.
Surely, the ruling in this case made many children and adults sit up and
take notice. This ruling may very well prevent similar future accidents, making sign thieves understand not only the harm that could be done to other people, but to themselves as well.
However, the judge in this case could have made a more constructive ruling. That the teens needed to be punished, and serve some time was obvious. But 15 years was too long. In addition to a shortened prison time, community service could have been required, in which the teens could teach children and provide them with more interesting activities, keeping them out of trouble. That way, other kids could be prevented from one day driving bored through town, seeing a stop sign and getting a "bright" idea.
The time that these teens must spend in prison could very well ruin their lives. Three lives have already been wasted. Why waste three more?
PAUL EAKINS FOR THE EDITORIAL BOARD
U.S. should pay bills owed to U.N.
Last week, the U.S. Senate passed a bill that placed conditions or "benchmarks" on U.S. back payments to the United Nations.
Sen. Jesse Helms, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee thundered that the U.N. was an unwieldy, unproductive, financial eyeore that would need to slim down its act before it deserved more of the precious U.S. taxpayers' money.
What the United Nations is demanding are unpaid dues that the largest debtor owes the organization. These dues have accumulated during the years, threatening the very existence of the world body.
To attach unilateral conditions on legal obligations not only goes against
The United Nations is a tool over which America should keep some control
the law, but also violates the spirit of the organization, which is a multilateral forum of 115 countries and not solely a United States undertaking.
This kind of self-righteousness will only alienate the United States further from the world community, at a time when a crucial leadership role awaits it.
and negotiation than brazen confrontation.
Madeline Albright, the new U.S. Secretary of State would know best. Since her appointment to the post, she has undertaken several lecture tours asking Americans to be more outward-looking and international in their outlook.
The breakdown in communism signaled the end of an old era. But a new era of global politics has emerged, shaped more by a spirit of cooperation
Perhaps Helms and his Cold War-era friends should take a leaf from Albright's book. Leadership is not cheap. It would be quite a tragedy if, for a mere $1.2 billion, the United States surrenders its power in an organization that has served as a valuable tool of American foreign policy.
That surely would be an expensive mistake to make.

Adultery in Congress Don't ask, don't tell
ANDY
OBERMUELLER
Column
This includes the right to say blatantly stupid things, as I have proven conclusively with this
column for the last year. But this freedom's grand champion is U.S. Rep. Vince Snowbarger. The honorable congressman from the third district, which, for those of you who are keeping track, is where you live, has broken the previous record for remarkable dumbbness from a Republican.
Members of my own party say dumb things with alarming regularity.
For example, there's George "Read my lips"Bush or Richard"I would have made a good pope" Nixon. My own personal favorite is Ronald Reagan, who didn't realize that a mike was on prior to a 1984 radio interview and said,"My fellow Americans, I am pleased to tell you that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes."
But these statements are more snafu or political rhetoric than indication of any great mental deficiencies. (You can keep your smart-alec comments about Reagan to yourself.)
In any case, Snowbarger has ventured into the realm of the truly stupid with his recent stand against adultery.
"I'm opposed to adultery," he said. "And I don't care where it occurs. I'm someone who takes marriage vows very seriously."
Everyone stand and applaud our courageous congressman for taking so bold a position. What a statesman.
Unmercifully, he continued. "I personally would have difficulty with someone having committed adultery."
Anyone who has ever seen a picture of the man can believe this. And he just inadvertantly told half the House that he doesn't want to speak to them anymore.
I'm not sure what Toplikar was trying to uncover with this question, perhaps a careless congressman who would say, "Ya know, Dave,
The six members of Kansas' Congressional delegation were responding to an inquiry from Lawrence Journal-World reporter Dave Toplikar, in connection with the paper's coverage of the issue of adultery within the military.
But Rep. Jim Ryun did, in a surprising outburst of reasonability.
I'm glad you asked that question. I've been in favor of adultery since I was elected," and thus garner Toplikar some admiration from his peers.
Of course, the two smartest members of the Kansas delegation, First District Rep. Jerry Moran and Sen. Pat Roberts, didn't directly respond to the inquiry.
But all we got was drivel from Snowbarger and the runaround from everyone else.
He said that he thought he should keep his personal feelings out of his consideration and that the rules, which the members of the armed forces know, should be followed. (But it should be noted that Ryun is not an ardent military supporter to begin with and couldn't care less if they all screwed each other to eternal damnation.)
The best response came from Sen. Sam Brownback. I'm not sure if Brownback was knowingly making mugs or just speaking Congress-ese without realizing the double meaning; but Brownback called adultery a "touchy" issue and said that he wanted to "chew through" it. I am not making this up. Send your contribution to: 410 Hart Senate Office Building, Washington D.C.
Vince Snowbarger didn't make an error in his answer to the Journal-World, he just made an ass out of himself. He said something to make himself sound like a pillar of morality and goodness, rather than simply let his voting record and other work as a congressman illustrate that for him. You've been married for 25 years, so what? Roberts and Moran have too, and you don't hear them proclaiming their fidelity from the rotunda.
Not only was it a stupid thing for Snowbarger to say, it was a misdirected question for Toplikar to ask. Congress doesn't make military law, and they couldn't legislate morality even if they did.
Snowbarger, to be fair, is a good and decent man who probably hasn't cheated on his wife. But he's cheated me out of decent representation, if he's spending his time on the phone with Toplikar answering dumb questions rather than doing something more productive, like bouncing checks
And I even voted for the guy.

Letters
I am writing to remember my friend, LaTina Sullivan, and to give those who didn't have the chance to know her a glimpse into what an inspiration she was.
Friends of Sullivan express emotions, sense of loss
Perhaps LaTina's personality was best expressed in her writing. LaTina looked at the world and saw everything — the good and the bad — so realistically. She had a unique gift in her ability to put down
1
on paper exactly what she saw so the rest of us could see it, too.
But the impact LaTina made wasn't just to the Kansan, or any of the other campus groups she belonged to.
At the Kansan, we often needed LaTina, who could see the world around her so clearly, to clear the way for the rest of us.
I first learned of the news in class. A girl came in, and talking to those around me, asked if anyone had heard. "Heard what??" "A professor told me that LaTina Sullivan, the Kansan editor, died last night." My head shot up from the paper I was reading. That was how I found out about the death of my friend. I tried not to believe, going back to the sports section of my paper, convincing myself it wasn't true, and that the Royals actually were interesting. But I had a bad feeling in my gut, and as I made my way down to the newsroom to ask, I already knew it was true.
Just in the way she lived.
LaTina made a powerful impression on me, one I won't soon forget. Although her time here was short, the inspiration she was to many of us lives on.
I am lucky to have known LaTina Sullivan, and I miss her greatly.
Tina and I weren't extremely close. We were friends, but I didn't exactly sleep over at her house or talk to her on the phone every night. Maybe that was why I was so depressed at first. I think death is that much more difficult when you know that a potential true friendship was there, but it was never developed. I realized that I had always admired Tina, although neither of us were really aware of it. She had three, count 'em, three jobs, and was involved in numerous activities, but she always managed to keep her

sanity and have a little fun. She was always "in the know" and culturally speaking, this girl would blow you out of the water.
As I tried to come to terms with the truth, I read Tina's old articles in the J-School Library, and one of them struck a chord. In an April 28, 1997, article, she urged people of color to contribute to the paper. "It only takes one person's voice to help create change, however, 50 voices
She was the kind of person who never let you know when she was down, because she was always making sure you were okay. When she won an essay contest my sorority held, she thanked us for opening up "this opportunity for women of color all over campus." She was thinking of others even in her moment of glory.
Delta Sigma Theta, her sorority, was the love of her life, and she was extremely dedicated to it. Our two sororities managed to become very close throughout the school year, and each time we did community service together, or just kind of hung out, Tina developed a bigger and bigger place in our hearts.
will make sure you get heard." It felt as if she was talking directly to me. You see, April 28th was my birthday. Instead of kicking ourselves for the things we didn't say to her when she was here, she was telling us to find a cause, any cause, and support it. To Tina, I think that will mean more than words ever could.
As I walked out of the library, I remembered once telling Tina I'd decided to major in journalism. She smiled at me and said, "Girl, if you ever need any help, with anything, let me know. I wanna' see us make it." You, Tina, made it so much further than you will ever know.
I thought about the giving, caring person she was, and the beginning of a poem I'd heard came to mind: "Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep." She isn't really gone. Only in the most physical sense of the word is that true. If your heart was ever touched by LaTina Sullivan, she's still there, still touching you, making sure you're okay, and asking if there's anything she can do.

Area hit by 1992 floods again deluged by rain
Residents built again despite risk of repeat
The Associated Press
LAKEWAY, Texas — Jim Strubar checked his wife and 2-year-old son into a motel yesterday and went back home. What he found was a family of ducks swimming down Lone Star Lane and 8 feet of water in the living room.
"We wanted to keep my son away from the water," he said.
Sturbar, 47, built his house on Lake Travis in 1992, a year after a record flood swamped the same neighborhood, called Graveyard Point because it was once a cemetery.
"I went back and checked the records, and I felt it was worth the risk building here," Strubar said. "I figured it would be another 100 years before floods would hit like they did in 1991. I was wrong."

Strubar's was among the 200 to 300 Lake Travis homes damaged from flooding spurred by weekend rains

Many areas of central Texas picked up between 5 and 10 inches of rain on Sunday in a matter of hours. The rain turned quiet streams and rivers into raging rapids that flooded homes along a 100-mile stretch from just west of San Antonio to just west of Austin.
In Marble Falls, 60 miles northwest of Austin, at least 100 homes were damaged or destroyed. In Lano, 100 miles northwest of Austin, at least 30 homes were damaged by the flooding.

Air Force: Roswell not UFOs
Alien mystery explained by test wreckage
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Air Force is sticking to its story: Those weren't alien bodies in New Mexico half a century ago. They were dummies.
Col. John Haynes, an Air Force declassification officer who presented the report at a Pentagon news conference, showed footage from the 1950s of dummies dressed
"Case closed," the Air Force insists in a 231-page report released yesterday on the so-called Roswell "incident."
in Air Force flight suits pulled aloft by enormous high-altitude balloons, then dropped to earth. The object was to devise a way for pilots or astronauts to reach earth if forced to escape at high altitudes.
The black-and-white footage is a one-of-a-kind collection of Air Force film and photos.
The majority of the dummies which had skeletons of aluminum or steel, skin of latex or plastic, cast aluminum skulls and instrument cavities in their torsos and heads landed outside military bases in eastern New Mexico, near Roswell, the Air Force report said.
But skeptics don't buy it.
"I think this (explanation) is a real stretch," said Karl Pflock, a UFO researcher in New Mexico. But Pflock says he doesn't think the Roswell incident involved alien
spacecraft.
Thus the most-lasting element of UFO lore is likely to live on.
"They've got egg on their face, and they've not done anything to remove it," said Walter Haui, who was the public information officer at Roswell Army Air Field in 1947.
In this 50th anniversary year of the Roswell incident, the Air Force says the spaceship legend grew from a combination of honest misunderstandings by people unfamiliar with Air Force operations in New Mexico and deliberate distortions of actual events by publicity seekers
In 1994, the Air Force said the alleged spacecraft was foil-coated fabric and other parts of a crashed Air Force balloon that was pulling a "train" of radar reflectors and other devices.
The Air Force said it had no material — classified or declassified — about any alleged alien bodies.

Drug use increases in youths
Overall drug use in the country is declining
WASHINGTON — Drug abuse among American youths continues to increase, even though overall drug use in the country is declining, and it's starting at a younger age, the administration's drug czar said Tuesday.
The Associated Press
"Our children are using drugs again and in increasing numbers," retired Army Gen. Barry McCaffrey told reporters. "And we're seeing new and disturbing phenomenon with heroin exposure, marijuana and other emerging drugs."
Citing findings from a semi-annual check of drug use trends in the United States, McCaffrey said there were increased hospital admissions for children abusing marijuana, often in combination with alcohol, methamphetamines or crack cocaine.
"In addition, we're clearly seeing the migration of heroin — smoked, snorted, or injected into student populations and blue-collar Caucasian workers," he added. "The drug threat is changing and student populations are picking up on it, and it's tending to drift into younger years."
The administration's point man on the war against drugs said the average age at which kids report first using illegal drugs is 16, but "significant numbers" of eighth-graders had reported trying marjuana.
McCaffrey attributed the rise to a change in values toward drugs since 1990 among children 17 and younger, with resulting increases in drug abuse. "It's doubled among kids in general; it's almost tripled among eighth-graders," he said.
The report on national trends in illegal drug abuse and drug markets in the second half of 1996, conducted by McCaffrey's Office of National Drug Control Policy, was based on interviews with epidemiologists, drug abuse treatment providers and police in cities across the country. While it did not measure the amount of increase, McCaffrey said the report gave "qualitative assessments" of drug use, compared to the year previous.
The analysis showed that cocaine and crack cocaine abuse had stabilized or declined, although there were still an estimated 1.4 million chronic addicts in America.
McCaffrey noted it was possible that methamphetamine, "the poor man's cocaine," was replacing crack in some areas. Abuse of the highly addictive methamphetamine, he added, was "the absolute dominant drug problem" in southern California and parts of San Francisco, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana and Missouri, and there were signs of its spread elsewhere.
House, Clinton reject China trade sanctions
Nation's critics disappointed with measure
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Siding with the Clinton administration, the House rejected the latest effort yesterday by critics of China to impose trade sanctions as punishment for Beijing's human-rights abuses and other disruptive behavior.
In a 259-173 vote yesterday, the House backed President Clinton's May 20 decision to extend for another year China's "most-favorored nation" status, which gives China the same trade relations given to almost all other trading partners.
The margin, though substantial,
was less than last year's 286-141
---
The House measure, introduced by lawmakers who say business as usual is wrong with a country tainted by persistent human-rights, trade and weapons-proliferation
abuses, would have disapproved of Clinton's decision.
Clinton praised the vote, saying it "makes clear that the right way to encourage further progress in China is not to
Bill Clinton
cut China off, but to draw China in." He pledged that "when we disagree with China, such as on human rights and religious freedom, we will continue to speak out candidly and clearly."
Supporters of most-favored nation status argued that the only way to change China's untoward policies — and avoid risking hundreds of thousands of American jobs — was to stay engaged with the Chinese.
"Without our influence how will democratic values come to be accepted in China?" asked Rep. Barbara Kennedy, D-Conn. "Without our example, how will dissent come to be tolerated? Without our presence,
how will religious liberties come to exist? Without our active engagement, how will human rights come to be respected?"
But Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said pillars of U.S. policy — promoting human rights and U.S. exports and stopping weapons proliferation — have all failed in China. "In fact, there has been a marked deterioration, not improvement, under the administration's policy," she said.
Congress has never succeeded in revoking most-favored-nation status since it became an annual debate after the 1989 crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators in Tiananmen Square. A House vote to reject most-favored-nation status would have sent the issue to the Senate, but there was little chance that either chamber could muster the two-thirds vote needed to overturn a presidential veto.
The House vote took on more urgency this year following reports that China was trying to buy political influence in this country and growing concerns about how China will treat Hong Kong after the handover of the British colony next month.
Island nations raise issue of ocean levels at summit
The Associated Press
UNTITED NATIONS — In an urgent plea for help, island states at a summit on the Earth's future told an alarming tale yesterday of the here and now. The seas already may be encroaching on their fragile lands.
The president of Maldives said global warming threatens his nation's very existence while industrial countries engage in debates about economic gains and losses in doing something about it.
"Today, I leave here with the fear that unless we all act now and with a renewed commitment, my country and many countries like us would neither have their voice nor seat at a future (summit)," Maumoon Abdul Gayoom told the delegates.
Researchers have detected a slight rise in the Indian Ocean around the Maldives, and Pacific Ocean island states report losing low-lying atolls to the sea. However, scientists have yet to clearly link these events to global warming.
The island states hope President Clinton offers them some reassurances in his speech here tomorrow, the fourth day of the week-long "Earth Summit Plus 5," convened to review progress since the historic 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro.
A major U.N. scientific study has concluded that global warming in the next century, through heat expansion and melting glaciers, would cause oceans to rise one or two feet by 2100.
Under a December deadline, governments are negotiating a new treaty to legally require cutbacks in emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that trap the Earth's heat in the atmosphere.
The European Union proposes cutting carbon dioxide and other emissions by 15 percent below 1990 levels, with a deadline of 2010. The Alliance of Small Island States wants an even tougher timetable — 20 percent cutbacks by 2005.
But so far, the Clinton administration has balked at committing to any specific timetable of targets.
Business leaders say sharp cut-backs would throw tens of thousands of Americans out of work. And many in a skeptical Congress say they will block any such treaty unless it covers not just industrial nations, as now planned, but developing nations as well.
The United States, with 5 percent of the world's population, emits more than 20 percent of the world's manmade carbon dioxide.
Civilians flee fighting in Congo
Hundreds crowd ships to escape front-line region of Brazzaville
capital.
The Associated Press
BRAZZAVILLE, Republic of Congo — It's a sobering choice: risk being killed by a stray bullet in Brazzaville or risk drowning trying to reach safety on a dangerously overcrowded river barge.
High school teacher Eugene Baka chose the second option, paying $20 each so he, his wife and his four children could get on a barge and motor north, away from the chaotic African
"Rather than continue to face mortars, rockets and bullets the militias are deliberately firing into civilian neighborhoods, I've chosen to take this risk and try to save my family," Baka said.
Sporadic gunfire echoed through Brazzaville yesterday, a continuation of fighting that has prompted thousands to flee the Republic of Congo's capital.
However, it was worse Monday when artillery and mortar fire hit the parliament building. Soldiers took positions around parliament late Monday, some using rolls of ceremonial red carpet as makeshift bunkers. Hundreds of people are believed
killed since June 5, when President Pascal Lissouba's army began battling with Gen. Denis Sassou-Nguesso's forces. The two long-time rivals are the main candidates in presidential elections scheduled for July 27.
Diplomats in Brazzaville said Lissouba had planned to ask parliament to extend his term three months to allow more time for election preparations. Lissouba is scheduled to leave office Aug. 31.
The power struggle between Lissouba and Sassou-Nguesso has taken a shocking toll on civilians. Congolese Red Cross worker Martin Koumba said entire neighborhoods near the front lines have been deserted.

Cold germs avoid people on the go
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Not only is variety the spice of life, but it could protect you from the common cold.
People involved in activities such as work, church, family, barber shop quartets and sports get fewer colds than those exposed to the same number of people but have only a few activities to occupy them, according to a study.
The findings, published in today's issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association, bolster the notion mental well-being affects physical health.
"Someone who works, has a family and goes bowling with a group has an edge on a person whose whole life is work," said Sheldon Cohen, the lead author and a psychologist with Carnegie Mellon University.
The finding is something of a medical paradox. After all, coming into contact with various people exposes a person to more germs.
But one of the researchers, David Skoner, a physician at the University of Pittsburgh, speculated that being happy and involved keeps a person's immune system strong.
Cohen suggested that involved people took better care of themselves because they believed
their lives had meaning.
Scientists at Carnegie Mellon, the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Virginia gave 276 healthy volunteers cold viruses. They found that people with few social outlets were four times as likely to get sick as people busy with six or more activities.
"With each added relationship you have, the less likely you are to become ill." Cohen said.
Researchers tested participants and ruled out the theory that more involved people had developed immunity by exposure to many germs from different people, Cohen said.
It is time for doctors to realize that social factors affect a person's health, said Jessie Gruman, executive director of the Center for the Advancement of Health, a health policy institute.
"They kind of dismiss that psychological and social factors make any difference in health outcomes," she said.
The study does not address whether single-minded people should try to diversify their lives.
"Before you recommend people go out and develop all kinds of social networks, you want more experimental research to be done," said Arthur Stone, a psychologist at the medical school at the State University of New York at Stony Brook.
Tobacco companies look at alternatives to nicotine, smoke
'Safer' cigarettes may be sold
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The peace deal signed with anti-smoking forces may spur tobacco companies to finally sell versions of the "safer cigarettes" they've known how to make for decades.
A Virginia company is poised to beat Big Tobacco to the market by removing one cancer-causing chemical from cigarettes. Tennesseeans are testing smokeless cigarettes that may send fewer toxins into the lungs. And Duke University researchers are creating tobacco-free "cigarettes" that offer the nicotine kick of a regular smoke without the cancer.
But just when does a cigarette become safer? And does last week's tobacco settlement merely ensure cigarette makers won't lure back would-be quitters with false safety promises?
"Say you've got 16 known carcinogens and you take one out — you'll get killed by the other 15," warned Greg Connolly.
"There is no such thingnor will there ever be such a thing as a safe cigarette."
head of Massachusetts' tobacco control program.
Much of the debate surrounding last week's landmark $368 billion settlement with the tobacco industry centers on whether the Food and Drug Administration could lower cigarette's addictiveness by phasing out the nicotine. But the FDA would have to pass serious hurdles to do that.
R. J. Reynolds is test marketing its new smokeless Eclipse cigarette. As a way to avoid secondhand smoke, it heats the tobacco through a piece of carbon at the cigarette's tip instead of burning it. That lack of combustion also means Eclipse
produces far less tar and benzopyrene, a potent chemical that causes genetic mutations that lead to lung cancer. And the deal may allow RJR to advertise Eclipse as safer.
Much of smoking's danger arises when tobacco is burned and the resulting volatile chemicals attack tender lung cells. So Philip Morris and RJR are exploring ways to heat rather than burn tobacco.
Cancer isn't the only fear. Nicotine can contribute to heart disease. Philip Morris and RJR also have quietly researched nicotine-like drugs that don't seem to affect the heart, said Jed Rose, Duke University nicotine chief.
Rose himself, more concerned about other toxins, is testing a tobacco-free, cigarette-like tube full of nicotine salt. Almost a fake cigarette, it would let smokers suck in the quick nicotine boost of a cigarette without causing any other harm.
Still, tobacco foes have big worries. They question who would determine that a cigarette is safer. And, scientists don't even know how much nicotine it takes to addict someone — so lowering nicotine in cigarettes might merely make smokers puff more to get a fix. Rose said.

Sex-offense law upheld by court
The court made it acceptable for states to commit people who have been diagnosed as sexual predators in order to rehabilitate them and protect society.
Law permits committal of mentally ill offenders
By Graham Johnson Kansan staff writer
The U.S. Supreme Court upheld Kansas' Sexually Violent Predator Act in a precedent-setting ruling Monday.
"It is a very emotionally engaging case. It has real impact, real people, real lives and it has great significance nationwide for children in this country," McAllister said.
"It is a personal victory for me," McAllister said at a Monday press conference. "I put in a lot of months and invested a lot into it. There was an extra special meaning for me because Justice Thomas wrote the opinion, and I clerked for him."
Douglas County District Attorney Christine Tonkovich said she welcomed the new alternatives and protections the act would provide.
The only other alternative would be lengthy prison terms, said Stephen McAllister, associate professor of law.
"It's clearly a valuable tool for prosecutors who have sex offenders who are
For McAllister, who helped the state argue its case, it was more than a legal victory.
McAllister also stressed the ruling's far-reaching implications.
going to be released from prison and whose release is going to be problematic." Tonkovich said.
Lawyers for Leroy Hendricks, the convicted sexual predator who challenged the Kansas law, said the ruling violated Hendricks' constitutional right to due process and his right to be tried and punished only once for an offense.
However, some argue that the ruling comes at the price of defendants' rights.
The Kansas Supreme Court originally had overturned the law because Kansas law permits committal only for people who have a mental abnormality.
They also said the law was unconstitutional because it was passed long after Hendricks committed the crime, therefore it was being unfairly played to him
The upshot, McAllister said, is that there is now a new constitutional standard for committal upon the offender's threat to society. It is less stringent and opens the door to the retention of more dangerous sex offenders.
The Supreme Court overruled all three arguments.
Dan Covington, Almena KU law student, said he was uncertain about the ruling.
"It is a huge precedent," McAllister said.
Not everyone is as enthusiastic about the ruling as McAllister.
"I guess I'm in agreement with the ruling in the sense that it supports the protection of children from sexual predators, but I do see a concern that we're starting to incarcerate people not for past crimes, but for potential crimes," Covington said.

Geology camp gives work, fun in Rockies
Some KU geology students are spending this summer at a camp in Colorado. But Karen Fischer, graduate student at the University of Kansas Geology Field Station, said it's no scenic tour.
The courses, Geology 560 and 561, were offered from May 19 to June 11 and from June 11 to July4. respectively.
The field station, at Canon City, Colo., is both a mentally and physically demanding academic program that joins classroom theory to practical experience.
"It's physically hard; you have to be in good shape and have good equipment," said Fischer, who completed Geology 560 this summer.
Fischer said students needed high quality hiking boots, notebooks, backpacks, compasses, hats, insect repellent and a strong background in geology.
Roger Kaesler, professor of geology, said his class emphasized geologic map production. Fischer said students had to hike in the mountains, observe the exposed rock, use a compass and record data. She said she was outdoors collecting data from 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
And the day did not end there. Fischer would then remap data, and eventually her findings would be combined with a topographic map to form a geologic map.
The geologic maps can reveal pieces of Earth's environmental history, such as earthquakes. They also can determine if the land was once underwater or if there were mountains that had eroded during the years.
"Geology is not just the study of rocks but really the study of the Earth's processes," Fischersaid.
Kaesler said that these field courses helped students understand that part of Earth's history
that is recorded only in rocks.
Many of the rocks studied are at least 400 million years old.
These maps can provide extremely useful information.
Fischer said that studying the horizontal layers of rock formations could indicate the presence of water or oil underneath.
In fact, Fischer said, many students who specialize in petroleum also study geology.
Kaesler said that the program's success was due to its ideal location and longevity. The program was founded in 1924.
Canon City is less than 50 miles west of Pueblo. It is at the front range of the Rockies and has a dry climate.
Kaesler also credits the camp's success to the alumni who have contributed financially to the camp, and to the University for providing faculty. Students are still required to pay tuition, transportation, supplies, food and other personal expenses.
This summer, 14 students enrolled in Geology 560. and eight enrolled in Geology 561.
Students stay in cabins furnished by the University. Students have their evenings free, but, Kaesler said, their being in Colorado didn't mean they could run wild.
"They spend their evenings just like normal students. They read their books, work on projects, throw balls, sit around the campfire and sing songs." Kaesler said.
On weekends many students go camping at geologically interesting sites. Kaesler said that students studied the rock formations but are not graded on their weekend work.
Fischer said that she enjoyed the challenging course.
"It's not an easy course at all, but I think a lot of people like it," she said. "I think a lot of people attracted to geology are naturally outdoor people."
Students see death sentence differently
McVeigh's penalty stirs debate among many
By Lauren Dials
Kansan staff writer
Like America, KU students are divided on the death penalty.
But the death penalty brings up strong feelings in many people.
KU students seem to think so. In a nonscientific sample, seven out of ten students asked supported the death penalty.
And the convictions and death sentences of Timothy McVeigh and Megan Kanka's killer have sparked discussion. Should this decision be left in the hands of neutral, inexperienced jurors?
"Anyone who purposely kills 163 people, 19 of which were children, deserves to die," said Justin Summer, Leavenworth senior. "If McVeigh had a problem with the government about Waco and Ruby Ridge, blowing up the federal building was not the way to solve anything."
McVeigh's lawyers said that their client's actions were fueled by the government's involvement in the siege at Ruby Ridge and the role they played in the Branch Davidian standoff.
"I don't think that it's fair to place such power in the hands of these 12 people," Pettis said. "That's someone's life you're deciding on. I just don't feel that I have the authority to say whether someone lives or dies."
Other people argue that no one deserves the death penalty, no matter what the crime.
Jen Pettis, Overland Park senior, agreed that McVeigh was wrong. She said that the jury was being left with a large burden.
BENETT CROSSMAN
Timothy McVeigh
Pettis said that the responsibility the jurors are given is overwhelming. She said that giving such responsibility to them is asking the jurors to perform a morally challenging task. But others believe that the death penalty is appropriate.
Todd Thompson, Leavenworth senior and a pre-law student, said that the death penalty was useful for punishing those guilty of more serious crimes.
"I think Americans are quick to judge and want severe punishments for offenders," Thompson said. "The death penalty is a useful tool for chronic offenders or those who commit extremely unthinkable crimes. I definitely don't think that it is appropriate in as many cases as it is proposed."
"In a way, it's better to sentence someone to death because it's the taxpayers who pay for their life," said Aimee Foppe, Belleville, Ill., graduate student. "In prison, they can get a college education on our money and tie up the court system in appeals. Keeping them alive costs the taxpayers a lot of money."
Most people think that the death penalty is a cheaper and more efficient way to deal with convicted criminals.
"A lot of people don't realize how much money it actually costs to have someone put to death," Thompson said. "With all of the appeals that are made, it usually ends up costing taxpayers more than a life sentence would."
What most people don't realize is that the death penalty is often more costly than sentencing a criminal to life in prison.
Feelings for and against the death penalty may be grounded in the Bible.
But others hold signs reading: "Anyone who intends to kill a man, shall be killed by him himself."
Some picketers hold signs that say "Judge not lest you be judged."
The response to McVeigh's death sentence was overwhelmingly positive.
"McVeigh was just an anti-government nut," Sumner said. "If you have a problem with the government, write your congressman. Don't blow up the nearest federal building."

Sex-offense law upheld by court
The U.S. Supreme Court upheld Kansas' Sexually Violent Predator Act in a precedent-setting ruling Monday.
By Graham Johnson Kansan staff writer
Law permits committal of mentally ill offenders
The court made it acceptable for states to commit people who have been diagnosed as sexual predators in order to rehabilitate them and protect society.
The only other alternative would be lengthy prison terms, said Stephen McAllister, associate professor of law.
"It is a very emotionally engaging case. It has real impact, real people, real lives and it has great significance nationwide for children in this country," McAllister said.
For McAllister, who helped the state argue its case, it was more than a legal victory.
"It is a personal victory for me," McAllister said at a Monday press conference. "I put in a lot of months and invested a lot into it. There was an extra special meaning for me because Justice Thomas wrote the opinion, and I clerked for him."
Douglas County District Attorney Christine Tonkovich said she welcomed the new alternatives and protections the act would provide.
McAllister also stressed the ruling's far-reaching implications.
"It's clearly a valuable tool for prosecutors who have sex offenders who are
going to be released from prison and whose release is going to be problematic." Tonkovich said.
However, some argue that the ruling comes at the price of defendants' rights.
Lawyers for Leroy Hendricks, the convicted sexual predator who challenged the Kansas law, said the ruling violated Hendricks' constitutional right to due process and his right to be tried and punished only once for an offense.
M
Dan Covington, Almena KU law student, said he was uncertain about the ruling.
They also said the law was unconstitutional because it was passed long after Hendricks committed the crime, therefore it was being unfairly applied to him.
The Supreme Court overruled all three arguments.
The Kansas Supreme Court originally had overturned the law because Kansas law permits committal only for people who have a mental abnormality.
The upshot, McAllister said, is that there is now a new constitutional standard for committal based upon the offender's threat to society. It is less stringent and opens the door to the retention of more dangerous sex offenders.
Not everyone is as enthusiastic about the ruling as McAllister.
"I guess I'm in agreement with the ruling in the sense that it supports the protection of children from sexual predators, but I do see a concern that we're starting to incarcerate people not for past crimes, but for potential crimes," Covington said.
"It is a huge precedent," McAllister said.
Geology camp gives work, fun in Rockies
By Crystal Honores Kansan staff writer
The courses, Geology 560 and 561, were offered from May 19 to June 11 and from June 11 to July 4, respectively.
Some KU geology students are spending this summer at a camp in Colorado. But Karen Fischer, graduate student at the University of Kansas Geology Field Station, said it's no scenic tour.
The field station, at Canon City, Colo., is both a mentally and physically demanding academic program that joins classroom theory to practical experience.
"It's physically hard; you have to be in good shape and have good equipment," said Fischer, who completed Geology 560 this summer.
Fischer said students needed high quality hiking boots, notebooks, backpacks, compasses, hats, insect repellent and a strong background in geology.
Roger Kaesler, professor of geology, said his class emphasized geologic map production. Fischer said students had to hike in the mountains, observe the exposed rock, use a compass and record data. She said she was outdoors collecting data from 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
And the day did not end there. Fischer would then remap data, and eventually her findings would be combined with a topographic map to form a geologic map.
The geologic maps can reveal pieces of Earth's environmental history, such as earthquakes. They also can determine if the land was once underwater or if there were mountains that had eroded during the years.
"Geology is not just the study of rocks but really the study of the Earth's processes," Fischersaid.
Kaesler said that these field courses helped students understand that part of Earth's history
These maps can provide extremely useful information.
that is recorded only in rocks.
Many of the rocks studied are at least 400 million years old.
Fischer said that studying the horizontal layers of rock formations could indicate the presence of water or oil underneath.
In fact, Fischer said, many students who specialize in petroleum also study geology.
Kaesler said that the program's success was due to its ideal location and longevity. The program was founded in 1924.
Canon City is less than 50 miles west of Pueblo. It is at the front range of the Rockies and has a dry climate.
Kaesler also credits the camp's success to the alumni who have contributed financially to the camp, and to the University for providing faculty. Students are still required to pay tuition, transportation, supplies, food and other personal expenses.
This summer, 14 students enrolled in Geology 560, and eight enrolled in Geology 561.
Students stay in cabins furnished by the University. Students have their evenings free, but, Kaesler said, their being in Colorado didn't mean they could run wild.
"They spend their evenings just like normal students. They read their books, work on projects, throw balls, sit around the campfire and sing songs." Kaesler said.
On weekends many students go camping at geologically interesting sites. Kaesler said that students studied the rock formations but are not graded on their weekend work.
Fischer said that she enjoyed the challenging course.
"It's not an easy course at all, but I think a lot of people like it," she said. "I think a lot of people attracted to geology are naturally outdoor people."
Students see death sentence differently
McVeigh's penalty stirs debate among many
By Lauren Dials Kansan staff writer
Like America, KU students are divided on the death penalty.
But the death penalty brings up strong feelings in many people.
KU students seem to think so. In a nonscientific sample, seven out of ten students asked supported the death penalty.
And the convictions and death sentences of Timothy McVeigh and Megan Kanka's killer have sparked discussion. Should this decision be left in the hands of neutral, inexperienced jurors?
"Anyone who purposely kills 163 people, 19 of which were children, deserves to die," said Justin Summer, Leavenworth senior. "If McVeigh had a problem with the government about Waco and Ruby Ridge, blowing up the federal building was not the way to solve anything."
McVeigh's lawyers said that their client's actions were fueled by the government's involvement in the siege at Ruby Ridge and the role they played in the Branch Davidian standoff.
Other people argue that no one deserves the death penalty, no matter what the crime.
"I don't think that it's fair to place such power in the hands of these 12 people," Pettis said. "That's someone's life you're deciding on. I just don't feel that I have the authority to say whether someone lives or dies."
Jen Pettis, Overland Park senior, agreed that McVeigh was wrong. She said that the jury was being left with a large burden.
Pettis said that the responsibility the jurors are given is over

Todd Thompson, Leavenworth senior and a pre-law student, said that the death penalty was useful for punishing those guilty of more serious crimes.

Games draw athletes to Lawrence
Sunflower events to be held in July
By Sean Patrick Kansan staff writer
The largest amateur sporting event in the state of Kansas is less than a month away, and the deadline for entries looms even closer.
The Sunflower State Games will be held in Lawrence on the last two weekends of July. The first entry deadline, July 3, is less than a week away.
"We are an Olympic-style event," said Kelly Mason, executive director of the Sunflower State Games. "There are 32 separate events open to Kansans of all ages. We've had folks under 8 and folks over 80."
The most popular events are the basketball competitions, but there are a variety of other sports to choose from, including archery, karate and kiting.
The Sunflower State Games began in 1990 as a way to encourage Kansans to be more active. The Games are sponsored by a multitude of businesses across the state.
"The goal of the game is to get as many Kansans as possible to participate in an active lifestyle," Mason said. "We draw everyone from weekend warriors to anyone else who wants to
join."
According to Mason, the Sunflower State Games are the largest and fastest growing amateur event in the state of Kansas.
"Last year just over 7,600 people participated in the games," he said. "We hope to have 9,000 participants this year. In addition, there will be somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000 spectators. All 105 counties in Kansas are represented in the games."
The events will take place at sites scattered across Lawrence.
"The clinics are being held at Sport-2-Sport, and the remainder of the games will be held around Lawrence." Mason said. "For instance, basketball is at 12 different complexes including Allen Field House and the local high school. We use a lot of KU facilities and local school venues."
Local hotels have been flooded with reservations for the weekends, and hotel managers said they expected to be booked solid by the end of the week.
The Sunflower State Games began as a non-profit, private organization.
"The state doesn't have a lot to do with it," Mason said. "They don't provide us with any money or anything, but the governor is on our board of directors. We are basically funded through entry fees and sponsorship."

On Friday, July 25, seven pregame clinics will be held at the Sport-2
Sport facility at 5200 Clinton Parkway.
"It's going to be very crowded," said Roger Morningstar, owner of Sport-2Sport. "We won't have the room to let everybody participate. It will be more of a compact two-hour talk and demonstration. We are going to theme it on off-season preparation. We are trying to bring in high quality clinic teachers."
Clinic teachers will include members of the University of Kansas men's basketball team, most likely T.J. Pugh and Lester Earl. Other teachers will include Lori Endicott, a member of the 1996 and 1992 women's Olympic volleyball team, and members of the Kansas City Blades and the Kansas City Wizards.
In addition to the clinics, there also will be an amateur soccer coaches' certification clinic held at the Hampton Inn, 2300 W. Sixth St.
"There really isn't an entry deadline for the clinic," Morningstar said. "We would take people that day, but I
would recommend having reservations in by July 15."
The purpose of the clinic is to help raise money for the Lawrence Sports Corporation. The corporation is an arm of the Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau and is designed to help promote sporting events in Lawrence.
"We would hope that we can provide a unique opportunity to a great number of kids as well as helping to keep the Sunflower State Games in Lawrence, "Morningstar said.
The themes for the Sunflower State Games are participation and enjoyment.
"I've been telling people that if you're not going to participate then at least volunteer," Mason said. "You'll have a good time, we guarantee it."
One person who had a good time at last year's games was 12-year-old Junction County resident Terra Upham. Upham won three gold medals in gymnastics and a silver in track and wrestling on her way to becoming the Citgo Sunflower State Games Female Athlete of the Year.
"I had fun. I came because I wanted something to do during the summer, and I'm coming back this summer," Upham said. "I'll probably do the same events this year. I hope to win the Female Athlete of the Year again."

Exercise, nutrition rather than looks are keys to fitness
Students struggle for perfect bodies
By Kirsten Havner
Kansan staff writer
"I lift weights five days a week, and I run for 40 minutes twice a week to keep myself in shape and keep my image where I want it to be," said Nick Sever, Denver junior.
Women are not alone in their quest for the perfectly toned body. Men yearn for pecs and abs, just as women idealize the 5-foot-10-inch, 120-pound models who grace the cover of fashion magazines.
Having a healthy body image and accepting imperfections have become more difficult today, said Anne Chapman, Watkins Memorial Health Center dietitian.
Danielle Chauncey, Wichita sophomore, and Caroline Mathias, El Dorado sophomore, exercise five days a week.
"We do anything to get our bodies moving - kick boxing, raquetball, yoga, lifting weights and running," Chaucey said.
Physicians at Watkins said students need to realize that battling weight involved a lifestyle change, especially in the areas of nutrition and exercise. Chapman added that health is more important than pounds on a scale.
"Itry to the low-fat thing, but I splurge," Mathias said. "I don't worry about it when I work out, but I still want to keep a good diet."
In recent years, there has been a major emphasis on the relationship between exercise and weight loss. This relationship has become an integral part of weight management, Chapman said. To lose weight, there has to be more than a change in eating habits and an increase in physical activity.
"By engaging in exercise, in a short period of time you can burn more calories than through regular physical activity," Lawrence Magee, coordinator of the sports medicine clinic at Watkins, said.
The more you exercise, the more calories you lose. If you are using more calories than you are eating, you will lose weight, Magee said.
However, Magee said the best results come from low-level exercises, such as walking or swimming for long periods of time.
Magee's recommended exercise plan is to engage in low-level activity at least four times a week for 40 minutes or longer. Longer periods of exercise increase aerobic activity. It is better to walk for 40 minutes than to run for 20, Magee said.
The first priority should be aerobic exercise, then you can integrate a weight-resistance program into your regime, Magee said.
A weight-resistance program builds and tones the muscles by targeting a particular area.
"By integrating weight training and aerobic exercise, you may feel better, look better, and wear a smaller size, but you might not lose weight by pounds, because muscle weighs more than fat, and you are building muscle," Magee said.
The emphasis is not on how much you weigh, but how healthy the body is and the way you feel about yourself, Chapman said.

Cloning can't capture the soul
The Pontifical Academy of Life said the spiritual soul, "the constitutive kernel" of every human created by God, cannot be produced through cloning.
VATICAN CITY — Human cloning would not result in identical souls because only God can create a soul, a panel set up by Pope John Paul II has concluded.
The panel's reflections were released yesterday by the Vatican, which long has forbidden any kind of artificial fertilization or human cloning to create new beings.

The emphasis is not on how much you weigh, but how healthy the body is and the way you feel about yourself, Chapman said.

Cloning can't capture the soul
VATICAN CITY — Human cloning would not result in identical souls because only God can create a soul, a panel set up by Pope John Paul II has concluded.
The Pontifical Academy of Life said the spiritual soul, "the constitutive kernel" of every human created by God, cannot be produced through cloning.
The panel's reflections were released yesterday by the Vatican, which long has forbidden any kind of artificial fertilization or human cloning to create new beings.

Nike found abuse-free
Human rights groups believe report a coverup
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Former U.N. Ambassador Andrew Young, hired by Nike to evaluate its labor practices, said in a report yesterday that he saw no widespread abuse of workers at the company's shoe factories in Asia.
Young, who made a 15-day visit to factories in the Far East, said they were clean, well-lighted and didn't resemble what Americans would call sweatshops.
Nike, the world's leading athletic shoe manufacturer, has been accused by human rights groups of brutal work conditions and meager pay. One report said Nike supervisors groped young women as they worked.
"While not a single abuse is acceptable — and there have been such abuses — there was no evidence of widespread and systematic abuse of workers at these factories." Young said.
At the same time, he said the concept of workers' rights was poorly understood in the factories, and Nike's code of conduct was not prominently displayed. He said factory workers needed a better system for filing complaints and getting the complaints investigated.
Young found no such abuse.
Human rights groups branded Young's report as a coverup and said it failed to focus on the main problem: Workers aren't paid enough to live.
"It is my sincerе belief that Nike is doing a good job in the application of its code of conduct," Young said. "But Nike can and should do better."
Nike workers were paid $2.46 a day in Indonesia, $1.60 in Vietnam and $1.75 in China, according to human rights groups. But the basic living wage is about $4 a day in Indonesia and $3 in Vietnam and China, the groups said.
"It's appalling that Andrew Young spent five months, traveled tens of thousand of miles, conducted scores of interviews and came out with a report that fails to address the pitiful wages being paid by Nike," said Medea Benjamin, director of the human rights group Global Exchange.
Young said his consulting firm, GoodWorks International, was not asked to review wages.
Nike said it would implement Young's recommendations and take even stronger steps, fining factories that violated the code of conduct.
Sampras scores first-round win
Chang loses on grass; Hingis wins after fit
The Associated Press
WIMBLEDON, England — Intent on regaining the title he lost last year, Pete Sampras cranked up his serve and began what he hopes will be two weeks of productive work at Wimbledon.
Michael Chang can cut short his work schedule. The No. 5 seed staged a fifth-set comeback today but fell short to Australia's Todd Woodbridge, losing 7-6 (7-5), 3-6, 6-2, 3-6, 8-6. Woodbridge led 5-1 in the fifth set before Chang clawed his way back.
Sampras, a three-time Wimbledon champion, defeated Sweden's Mikael Tilstrom 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 in his opening match.
Martina Hingis, the top-seeded woman, had a more trying day. Bouncing her racket in frustration in her first grass-court match in a year, Hingis struggled past a qualifier ranked 218th in the world.
Hingis, the No. 1 woman's player, needed six match points before winning 6-4, 6-4 on the new No. 1 court against Anne Kremer, an amateur from Luxembourg who plays at Stanford.
"It's much harder to play a qualifier because they are used to playing matches on grass," Hingis said. "And she's a hard opponent. I remember I played her in a junior tournament and lost from two match points."
Chang was not the only men's seed to tumble, with four losing out early on the second day of the tournament: No. 7 Mark Philippoussis, No.
11 Gustavo Kuerten and No. 17
Jonas Bjorkman, and women's No.
13 Kimberly Po.
TENNIS
"What can you do when the guy serves this big?" Philippoussis said. "You can't do anything against him."
Greg Rusedski completed a 7-6 (8-6), 7-6 (8-6), 6-3 triumph against Philippoussis in a matchup of two big servers. Rusedski needed only 14 minutes to complete his victory, finishing the match with his 27th ace.
Kuerten was beaten in the first round when he double-faulted on match point and lost 6-3, 6-4, 4-6, 1-6, 6-4 to Justin Gimelstob of the United States.
Bjorkman was defeated by Britain's Chris Wilkinson, 7-6(7-5), 0-6, 5-7, 6-3, 6-4. Po lost 3-6, 7-5, 6-2 to Kerry-Anne Guse of Australia.
Three seeds with plenty of Wimbledion experience had no problems reaching the second round.
No. 8 Boris Becker, aiming for a fourth Wimbledon title, cruised to a 6-3, 6-2, 6-3 victory against Spain's Marcos Aurelio Gorriz.
Men's No. 3 seed Yevgeny Kafelinov dropped only six games in a 6-4, 6-2, 6-0 victory against Juan-Antonio Marín of Spain.
Chile's No. 9 seed Marcelo Rios, who last week said he felt that grass should be for cows and soccer fields, won his first Wimbledon match, beating India's Mahesh Bhupathi 6-4, 6-4, 6-3.
Australia's Pat Rafter, seeded No.
12, came back from two sets down
to score a 2-6, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-2
won over Grant Stafford of South Africa.
Oldest living Olympian takes the stage
98-year-old athlete gives long-awaited routine to crowd
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — At 98, Leon Stukell realized a dream deferred.
The oldest living Olympian finally performed yesterday at the Los Angeles Coliseum, site of the 1932 Olympic Games he missed when the Yugoslavian government could not afford to send a full team.
Stukelj, trim and vigorous, showed off a few gymnastics moves for a crowd in front of the Coliseum, host of the '32 and '84 Summer Games.
Clad in a dark business jacket and gray slacks, Stukel gripped the edge
of a long metal table, leaned forward and nimply balanced his 100-pound body on his weathered hands, his feet a few inches off the ground.
"I'm still going strong," he said, speaking Slovakian through an interpreter.
His agility delighted viewers of the 1996 Atlanta Games, where Stukelj danced his way up a long flight of stairs in front of President Clinton during opening ceremonies.
Also in Atlanta was diver Aileen Riggin Soule, among the first women to win an Olympic gold medal. She is the oldest living American Olympian at 91.
Stukelj, who won six medals in three Olympics, will be inducted into the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City, Okla. on Friday.
His pale blue eyes sparkled as they
swept over the vast Coliseum, where he would have been a medal favorite in 1932. Instead, he was unable to defend the Olympic rings title he won at the 1928 Amsterdam Games.
"In '32 they were short on money, and the trip from Yugoslavia to here was expensive," he recalled.
The government wanted to pay for only Stukelj and another athlete, but Stukelj refused to go unless the entire 10-member team went. He now regrets the decision.
"I was in good form, and I was quite sure I would win another two or three medals," he said.
Stukelj, who took up gymnastics in 1908, competed in the first world championships in 1922. He interrupted his career to be a soldier in World War I.
His visit to the Coliseum com
pletes his tour of the sites of his Olympic victories — Paris in 1924, Amsterdam in 1928 and Berlin in 1936 — and Los Angeles, where he didn't compete.
"What I have seen has been my final dream," he said.
He didn't leave the Coliseum empty-handed. Los Angeles County officials presented him with a gold badge to take back to his family in Maribor, Slovenia.
Stukelj's impact on gymnastics is still evident today. He invented a strength move known as the Stukelj cross, performed on the rings.

Heat guard speeds way to ticket, apology
But he denies threatening police during the incident early Friday.
By then, the oldest Olympian will be 102.
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — The Miami Heat's Tim Hardaway apologized after getting stopped by police for driving his $200,000 blue Ferrari in excess of 110 mph in a 40-mp zone.
If his good health continues, look for Stukelj at the 2000 Olympics. He's been personally invited by International Olympic Committee president Juan Antonio Samaranch.
Miami Beach police, however, tell it differently.
"I have friends in high places who can make it very unpleasant for
you," Hardaway said to one of the ticketing officers, according to a police report. "If he arrests me, I'll take him down."
The 31-year-old guard, who led the Heat to the Eastern Conference finals where they lost to the Chicago Bulls in five games, partially apologized Monday for the incident.
"Yes, I was speeding and I apologize for that," Hardaway said in a statement.
"Yes, a conversation did take place between myself and the police officer," Hardaway also said in the statement. "But at no time, in any way, did I threaten him."
Heat coach Pat Riley said that Hardaway was very apologetic about the incident.
"When training camp comes around, I'll make him do 120 on the court," Riley said.
The officer who wrote the report said he had been driving 110 mph
and still could not catch Hardaway's 1979 Ferrari that was traveling west on the McArthur Causeway.
One of the three westbound lanes on the two-mile causeway was closed for construction.
The fine in Florida for driving 30 mph or faster over the speed limit, which is $265, is the same regardless of the top speed. The fine is doubled when the speeding is in a construction zone.
Sportscaster Marv Albert gets new trial lawyer
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Sportscaster Marv Albert has changed lawyers for his case involving a charge of sexual assault in Arlington, Va.
Albert was charged with biting a woman and sexually assaulting her in his hotel room after midnight on Feb. 12.
retained Roy Black, a trial lawyer who has represented William Kennedy Smith and Kelsey Grammer among others. For the past 20 years, Black has taught at the University of Miami Law School.
Black replaced Washington, D.C., lawyer, Gerald Treanor, who voluntarily removed himself from the case.
Albert said yesterday that he has
"I have nothing but the highest
praise for Gerry Treanor, who has so skillfully and professionally represented me not only before the Virginia court system, but before the media, as well." Albert said.
Albert, NBC's lead announcer for NBA games, was indicted last month on charges of forcible sodomy and assault.
The 41-year-old woman told investigators she has known Albert for
about 10 years and that he invited her to his room that night.
Albert, 83, was in the Washington area at the time to announce the previous evening's game between the New York Knicks and the Washington Bullets.
Albert has not formally entered a plea in the case, but has denied any wrongdoing. The trial is scheduled for Sept. 22.

NBA teams ponder trades for draft picks
913 N. Second
Talent levels considered low
By Chris Sheridan The Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — With one bona fide superstar and 20 to 30 players a notch below, this year's NBA draft is shaping up as a crapshoot.
Wake Forest center Tim Duncan will be selected first today when the draft is held at Charlotte Coliseum.
"They all say that because nobody wants to take a risk," said Marty Blake, director of the league scouting service, who thinks that this year's crop is anything but weak.
After that, opinions differ. Some experts said plenty of decent players would be available. Others said this draft was a weak one.
Most experts agree that Duncan, a well-rounded player who can shoot, rebound, pass, dribble and block shots, is the only impact player available.
"There are 20 to 30 guys who are going to be good players. It's a deep draft, but it's being called weak because there aren't any marquee players. The teams that are salivating are picking from 20th to 30th."
The second through seventh picks belong to Philadelphia, Boston, Vancouver, Denver, Boston and New Jersey, but the order might change by the time
commissioner David Stern makes his second or third trip to the podium.
CHARLOTTE

The 76ers,
Celtics, Nets
and Grizzlies
have been
involved in trade
"Everything's available after No. 1," one Eastern Conference general manager said. "Everything has been available for months because this draft is regarded as such a weak one."
involved in trade discussions.
It has made the guessing game surrounding the second through 10th picks more intriguing this year.
Rumors surrounding the 76ers, who pick second, have changed almost daily during the past week. The speculation was compounded when Utah senior Keith Van Horn refused to work out for Philadelphia.
Among the lesser known players expected to be chosen in the middle-to-late first round are Austin Croshere of Providence, Danny Fortson of Cincinnati, Maurice Taylor of Michigan, Derek Anderson of Kentucky, Olivier St. Jean of San Jose State, James Cotton of Long Beach State, Bubba Wells of Austin Peay, Kebu Stewart of Cal State Bakersfield, James Collins of Florida State and John Taylor of Tennessee-Chattanooga.
At first, Philadelphia was favoring Texas Tech forward Tony Battle. Then it was Colorado point guard Chauncey Billups. Either might be available a couple of spots later, so the 76ers might deal to chose later.
Among the players expected to be chosen in the top 10 are high school forward Tracy McGrady of Mt. Zion (N.C.) Christian Academy, who signed a $10 million sneaker endorsement contract last week, and Kentucky sophomore Ron Mercer, whose stock has dropped since mid-March when he was expected to be the second or third player selected.
"There aren't many centers or power forwards, but the draft is loaded with small forwardes and shooting guards," Blake said. "And there are a lot more point guards than we've had in recent years."
Boston, picking third and sixth, wanted to package the two picks and trade with San Antonio for the first selection. But the Spurs declined, and the Celtics now are considering separate offers for each pick.
Antonio Daniels of Bowling Green and Billups are considered the top two point guards, and Battie, Van Horn, Colgate junior Adonal Foyle, Villanova forward Tim Thomas and Iowa State's Kelvin Cato are in the top echelon of big men.
Vancouver general manager Stu Jackson appears happy keeping the fourth pick, but Denver,
which is scheduled to pick fifth,
has a history of draft-draw trades.
New Jersey was offering Jayson Williams and the seventh pick in exchange for an earlier draft choice.
Anxious Bulls await draft
Chicago Bulls fans and players look to NBA draft for answers
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — As the NBA draft approaches, the rumor mill churns, Scottie Pippen's stomach turns and Chicago fans do slow burns.
By late tonight, Pippen should know if he is staying or going. And the future paths of Michael Jordan, coach Phil Jackson — and of the entire Bulls organization — should be clearer as well.
Bulls general manager, Jerry Krause, refused to discuss specifics but acknowledged that he was listen
ing to offers. Rather than lose Pippen as a free agent a year from now, the Bulls could decide to trade one of the game's best all-around players.
Right now, however, everything is just a muddle of rumors and speculation surrounding these NBA champions.
Pippen to Golden State for Joe Smith and the eight-overall draft pick. Pippen to Denver for Antonio McDyess and the fifth selection. Pippen to Philadelphia for Jerry
ne led the Bulls to their fifth title of the 1900s, and could make upwards of $40 million for 1997-98. Pippen is to make $2.7 million next season as he wraps up an eight-year contract.
Stackhouse and the No. 2. Pippen to Boston for multiple draft picks and players. Pippen to Seattle for Shawn Kemp. Pippen to New Jersey for who-knows-who.
The only thing for certain is that Bulls owner, Jerry Reindschuld, said last week that the futures of Jordan and Jackson won't be determined until after the draft, when Pipen's fate likely would be decided.
"Then we'll be in a position to talk with Phil about whether he wants to coach," said Reinsdorf, who is concerned about the age of his team's marquee players. "Then, if we know Phil wants to coach that team, we'll talk to Michael."
CHICAGO
BULLS
Jordan, 34, has threatened to retire if Jackson doesn't stay and has intimated that he'll quit if Pippen, 31, goes. Jordan made $30.14 million last season, when
Jackson said he will stay another year only if he likes the team's makeup.
The situation upsets Chicago fans, who can't understand why Reinsdorf would even consider breaking up a team that would be favored to win titles as long as Jordan was around. Reinsdorf and Krause weren't introduced at last week's celebration rally, for
Dennis Rodman, 36, also is a free agent. While the return of Pipen, Jordan and Jackson wouldn't guarantee Rodman's return, the departure of those three would ensure his departure.
A week's celebration for real or beinghood by 100,000 people
This isn't the first time Pippen trade rumors have circulated around draft time. In 1994, a deal that would have sent Pippen to Seattle for Kemp was made. But, at the last minute, spurred by negative public reaction, Sonics owner, Barry Ackerley, called off the deal.
And in 1887, Pippen was traded on draft dae — to the Bulls, who sent their first-
round pick that year, Olden Polynice, to Seattle in probably the best deal in Chicago history.
"Every time there's a draft, there's a chance of me getting traded," Pippen said. "When you don't have control, it bothers you, but you realize it's the nature of this business."
If the Bulls don't make any deals, they will draft 28th—the last pick of the opening round.
A year ago, they took center Travis Knight with the final pick and then didn't sign him for salary cap reasons. He went on to have a productive season with the Los Angeles Lakers. Such a scenario could develop again.
The Bulls are expected to draft for suit. Possibilities include 7-foot-3 North Carolina center, Serge Zwilker, 7-foot Australian, Chris Anstey, 6-11 Jason Lawson of Villanova or Wisconsin 7-footer Paul Grant.
Suns guard opts for one more season of NBA play Phoenix president happy with decision
The Associated Press
After the Suns were eliminated from the playoffs by Seattle in the last month's first round, the threetime All-Star said he would call it a career at age 31.
PHOENIX — Phoenix Suns guard Kevin Johnson, who toyed with the idea of retiring after last season, is returning for one more year and a reported $7 million salary.
"I intended to play 10 years and that would be it. At the end of the
season, I still felt that way," Johnson said at a news conference yesterday at America West Arena. "But Jerry (Colangelo) said we
FOREX SUNS
had to talk. I dug down deep in my soul for a decision and this is it."
Team president Colangelo would not confirm published reports that Johnson would be paid $7 million next season.
If Johnson had retired, the Suns would have dropped their rights to him and used the $7 million he was paid last season to offer deals to other free agents, including Phoenix players Rex Chapman, John "Hot Rod" Williams and Mark Bryant.
Colangelo met at least three times with Johnson during the summer in an attempt to get him to return to the Suns, who won 20 of their final 26 games, overcoming an 0-13 start and making the playoffs.
Colangelo was pleased with Johnson and the team's finish.
"We want to continue that level of play and also be able to compete in the free-agent market next year," Colangelo said. "In this so-called transition year, we'll be very competitive. Whenever Kevin is on the floor, that's always the case."
Johnson, obtained by Phoenix in a trade with Cleveland late in his rookie season, has scored 12,611 regular-season points in 679 games and 1,942 more in 92 playoff games. He is one of six players in NBA history with at least 11,500 points, 6,000 assists, 2,000 rebounds and 1,000 steals.
"He's probably had as much an impact on this franchise as anyone," Colangelo said. "We owe him a great debt of gratitude. He's had an outstanding career. I'm glad to announce he is going to continue to play."
Johnson's days seemed numbered in December when the Suns acquired Jason Kidd from Dallas to take control of the point guard spot.
Kidd said he wanted another season to learn from Johnson, with whom he worked well. The two guards both played college ball in California. Johnson, who missed the season's first 11 games after hernia surgery, finished third in the league in assists, averaging about 9 per game; 20th in scoring, averaging about 20 points per game; and had the fourth-highest field goal percentage among guards.
Johnson has been hampered by injuries during the last half of his career, causing him to miss 33,15,35 and 26 games in the last four seasons.
