Smoke inhalation kills engineering student
A KU student died Friday from smoke inhalation after a fire started in his kitchen at 12th and Tennessee streets, authorities said.
Firefighters found Daniel J. Ham man, Prairie Village junior, unconscious and not breathing on his bedroom floor.
Paramedics performed CPR and took Hamman to Lawrence Memorial Hospital. He then was transported by life flight to Saint Joseph Health Center in Kansas City, Mo.
Rich Barr, Lawrence fire marshal,
said Hamman resumed breathing
and was placed on artificial respiration before he arrived at Saint Joseph in critical condition.
Hamman died Friday afternoon. Barr said the fire appeared to be accidental.
"Two stove burners were on high, and the stove was on. The fire was started by food on or near the stove. Then the cabinets caught on fire." Barr said.
Fire officials are investigating why the smoke detector did not go off, Barr said.
Firefighters estimated $5,000 worth of damages to the apartment. Fire damage was confined to the kitchen, but there was heat and smoke damage throughout the apartment. No other damages were reported.

Two airplane makers get approval to merge
WASHINGTON — The Federal Trade Commission approved the merger of Boeing Co. and McDonnell Douglas Corp. yesterday, clearing the way for a deal that will create an aerospace colossus.
Only one competitor in Europe and one in the United States remain to compete for commercial airline sales.
The new company will be called the Boeing Co.
Stockholder meetings are scheduled for July 25 to seal the deal. The European Union could raise objections and complicate the new company's European operations. But the FTC approval removed the only uncertainty from a deal that is essentially a $14 billion buyout of McDonnell by Seattle-based Boeing.
McDonnell's faltering commercial airline sales and a lack of overlap in weapons-systems production led the commission to permit the deal. Last year, McDonnell won only 4 percent of new airplane orders.
Tough-guy movie actor Mitchum dies at 79
LOS ANGELES — Robert Mitchum, the gruff, sleepy-eyed actor who played tough guys, cynics and all-around hard cases in movies such as "Night of the Hunter," "Cape Fear" and "Thunder Road," died yesterday. He was 79.
The brawny, granite facee Mitchum, who died at his home in Montecito, suffered from emphysema and lung cancer. Mitchum appeared in more than 100 west-ems, comedies, war movies and dramas. He was a star for more than half a century, working into his 70s.
Mitchum once said, "I think when producers have a part that's hard to cast, they say, 'Send for Mitchum. He'll do anything.' I don't care what I play. I'll play Polish gays, women, midgets, anything."
Despite his near-legendary status, he was nominated for only one Academy Award, which he did not win.
It was not all acting. Off screen, Mitchum was hard-drinking, surly and openly contemptuous of studio bosses and Hollywood. After serving 60 days for marijuana possession in the late '40s, he emerged from jail and said, "It's just like Palm Sorings without the effraff."

Hong Kong joins China
Human rights, economy issues for University
By Tom Winter
Kansan staff writer
At midnight on Monday, KU senior Wing Cheung and most of the world held their breath. June 30 was the night that Hong Kong reunited with mainland China.
Cheung, from Hong Kong, said she was unsure about the ramification.
"I am nervous about what will happen to human rights and freedom of speech," Cheung said recently.
Other people at the University of Kansas are optimistic about the change. Leo Chan, Hong Kong, graduate student, said he believed the change would be minimal.
"Hong Kong's government will remain mostly the same as it was under British rule," he said. "The Chinese are guaranteeing 50 years of

tive Council. Although China has promised legislative elections, the new council was appointed by the Chinese government and will relieve the current legislature of its duties.
"The new council will toe the communist line," Lande said. "They will do what the Chinese government wants done."
Lande fears Hong Kong citizens will lose their personal freedoms, including freedom of the press, independent student organizations, and the freedom to demonstrate and to criticize the Chinese regime, he said.
"The economy is going to do well because ever, 'body has an interest in it,'" he said.
However, Lande does believe that the outlook for Hong Kong's economy is positive.
John Dardess, professor of history and director of the Center for East Asian studies, is unsure of Hong Kong's long-term economic situation.
"I think they'll try to keep it viable, but how long they can continue it over the coming years is the question I have." Dardess said.
(USPS 650-640)
There are mixed feelings about the relationship between the United States and China.
Lande does not think the United States and Hong Kong will have it so easy. He predicts demonstrations in Hong Kong. When that happens, Lande said, the Chinese will react as they did in the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989.
"We will keep the trade agreement between the United States and Hong Kong. We won't have to get permission from China to deal with Hong Kong," he said.
"They think the U.S. government will back down if they crack down in Hong Kong," he said.
He said that if China cracks down in Hong Kong, the United States would strengthen relations with Taiwan.
No one is sure what will happen.
And that makes Cheung nervous.
"The Chinese government is unpredictable," she said.

Workers continued demolishing the old parking garage on the east side of Jayhawk Towers yesterday. The parking garage was in major disrepair and was taken down due to safety concerns. The garage will be replaced with a parking lot at a loss of 40 parking spaces. The lot is scheduled to be completed on August 30th.
Renovations to decrease parking spaces
By Tamara Miller
Kansan staff writer
Renovations to the east parking lot at the towers will result in a loss of 40 parking spaces, said Donna Hultine, assistant director of the Parking Department.
Students who live in Jayhawker Towers in the fall may have to walk up Daisy Hill before they can drive.
Renovations have been scheduled since the beginning of last year, when the parking lot was declared unsafe, Hultine said. Part of the lot was closed for safety reasons.
The cost of the renovations is about $462,000 and is being funded by the Parking Department, said Doug Riat, associate director of Design and Construction Management.
"Towers residents will be encouraged to park up on the Hill." she said.
She said that poor construction was the primary reason for the renovations.
Current construction will turn Burdick Drive into a three-lane road and, eventually, an east entrance to the lot. The other
Construction began June 16, and the parking lot is scheduled to reopen Aug. 30, Riat said. The parking lot will be renovated into a single-level lot with 94 spaces, he said.
Walls will be constructed on the north and west sides of the lot, he said.
entrance will be from Irving Hill Road.
"There were more spaces before, even when part of the lot was closed off," he said.
Despite the decrease in parking spaces, the number of parking permits that will be available for the towers lot will remain the same.
The towers governing body voted to offer the same number of permits as last year, Huline said. Many towers residents parked on Daisy Hill last year, she said.
"To returning towers residents, this is nothing new," she said.
Audra Kirchgassner, Larned sophomore, said that she was angry about the loss of parking spaces, but that she still planned to buy a permit in the fall.
"I don't live on Daisy Hill, I live in the towers, and I expect to be able to park there," she said.

Jaycees organize fireworks display
Kansan staff report
Fireworks will again light up the sky over the Kansas River on July 4.
The Lawrence Jaycees, a leadership training organization, planned the Independence Day celebration, which will feature live music, activities, concessions, and the fireworks display.
"It's a great way to bring the community together," said Lanaea Heine, event organizer.
Burcham Park entrance at Second and Indiana streets will open at 5 p.m., and the fireworks display will begin at dusk, around 9:30 p.m. Patriotic music will accompany the display on KLWN radio station, 1320 AM.
Fireworks — $10,000 worth — will be launched from the north side of the Kansas River levee. Heine said the location added to the beauty of the display because of the reflection in the river.
The Lawrence Journal-World is providing a free shuttle bus to the park. Buses will pick up passengers at 15 stops in the parking lots along Vermont and New Hampshire streets. There will be an additional stop at the Community Building, 115 W. 11th St. Each shuttle-bus stop will be marked with a yellow sign.
Projects throughout the year help the Jaycees raise funds for the fireworks display, Heine said.
"We hope to provide the community with fun, family events to celebrate Independence Day," said Sherri Cannon, member of the Jaycees.
Debate regarding evaluations continues
By Tamara Miller Kansan staff writer
Student Senate looks to lawyer for answers
Two years and at least one threat to sue later, KU Student Senate President Scott Sullivan has contacted lawyers to discuss the release of faculty evaluations to students.
"Those records can't be protected if it were to come down to a court battle," said Sullivan, Leawood senior.
The University said faculty evaluations are personnel files and can not be released. However, Sullivan said refusing to release the evaluations is a violation of the Open Records Act.
Sullivan has talked to Charles Brown, an attorney who represented a University of Idaho student in a similar court battle and won. Sullivan said his research has indicated that the faculty evaluations fall under the Kansas Open Records Act.
The Council has voted down a petition for the release of the evaluations twice already.
Sullivan said his goal was to convince the University Council that releasing the evaluations would be legal. If the council saw enough evidence that supported the release of the evaluations, then the Senate and the University could begin discussing the benefits of releasing them, Sullivan said.
Because the Council is made up of many faculty members, Banks predicted that the council would vote against the idea again.
Betty Banks, associate professor of classics, said she opposed the release of the evaluations because it would encourage students to shop for classes that are fun and for instructors who are lenient.
Sandra Gautt, assistant provost, said the University had no plans to change its policy.
"I think they're going to try to protect their careers," Banks said. "I personally don't believe there are legal grounds for the release of the faculty evaluations."
"Our understanding is that it is a legal question, not a policy question," she said.
Steve McAllister, associate professor of law, said he supported the release of the evaluations. He said that because students fill out the evaluations, instead of the faculty, they should be considered public record.
In the fall the Senate will approach the Council with the petition to release faculty evaluations again. Sullivan said he was confident that the Council would approve the release of the evaluations if he could prove that such a release would be legal and beneficial to the University.
Widespread support from students who return in the fall would increase the likelihood that the evaluations would be released. Sullivan said.
"I think that student support is only going to benefit the cause and make it much harder for the University to say no," Sullivan said.

International air contest on flight path to Lawrence
B-504
Doug Jardine, pilot in the Advanced World Aerobatics Competition, approaches the runway for his practice time yesterday. The 14-country competition begins July 5 at the Lawrence Municipal Airport.
Gale Garber / KANSAN
By Gale Garber
Kansan staff writer
Doug Jardine started flying planes after he got tired of dragging his hang-glider up hills. Fourteen years later, he is flying in the Advanced World Aerobatics Championships.
Jardine is one of 59 pilots from 14 countries performing in the championships beginning Saturday at the Lawrence Municipal Airport, 2500 Airport Road.
Boris Baird, director of the event and former Air Force pilot, said the pilots would compete in five categories and would be judged on difficulty and flying technique.
"The stunts are all done in straight lines with combinations of loops, rolling spins and slow-roll spins," Baird said.
Bill Larson, flight director for the event, said that in Europe, the plane shows attracted more spectators than in the United States.
"Because of the diversity of the things for us to do here, the crowds don't seem to stay as long to watch the shows," Larson said.
Precautions are taken before the competitions to ensure air safety for all the pilots. But Baird said the competitions were safe.
"If they are good pilots, there is
no danger. We've never lost anyone," he said.
Baird said contests in the U.S. were rare.
"Most of the contests are held in the European countries because of the cost to get the airplanes to the United States or Canada," Larson said. "There are contests only every eight to 10 years in the United States."
The Czech Republic's plane was disassembled, then shipped in crates to the Lawrence Municipal Airport, where it was re-assembled for the contest.
Larson said the logistics of getting an airplane to the United States were complicated.
Teams from distant countries reduce the costs of transporting planes for contests creatively. Some teams rent or borrow planes.
For example, the Japanese team is sharing a plane. Larson said.
Jardine has been in 20 different aerobatics competitions in the United States and Europe.
Eight top U.S. pilots qualified last year to form this year's U.S. team. Two of the team members are from the Kansas City metropolitan area.
The championship event runs from July 5 through July 11. Daily competition begins each morning at 8:30, and ends before dark.
Admission is $5 per car.

For the past 19 years Woods worked at Watkins Memorial Health Center. She supervised the admissions and records department for 15 years.
Woods said she was looking forward to spending more time with her.
After almost 38 years at the University of Kansas, Gloria Woods retired Friday.
Office assistant Betty Childers, Woods' co-worker for more than six years, said that Woods understood how the department functioned and how to keep everyone motivated.

"It will not be an easy thing to fill her shoes," Childers said. "We have all relied on her heavily."
1 am looking forward to relaxing," she said.
Jim Strobi, director of Student Health Services, said that Woods had done an excellent job running the admission and records office.
As a supervisor, Woods helped many physicians and nurses.
"It is very interesting to work with the different personalities and different walks of life and watching people change and grow," Woods said. "Personally, I have expanded my knowledge of people."
Prior to her position at Watkins, Woods was employed by the KU Genetics Lab for 19 years. She worked with the cancer research project until it was discontinued.
"I didn't deal with the public with my old job," Woods said. "When I came here I was worried."

Area code calls for change
New digits to affect University printing
BEST WORK IN THE WORLD
Ashleigh Roberts / KANSAN
Ashleigh Roberts / KANSAN Dennis Smith and Bob Roudybush, of University Printing Services, 2425 W. 15th St., discuss printing plans for new University letterhead. Printing Services must reprint all University of Kansas stationery to reflect the new 785 Kansas area code. The change takes effect July 20.
By Una Hart
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas will not be caught with its phone off the hook when the new Kansas area code, 785, goes into effect July 20.
"We helped them incorporate the new area code in their planning, and encouraged them to keep it top-of-mind when they were dealing with any external communication." Cronin said.
William Crowe, vice chancellor for the Office of Information Services, said he and others had been analyzing the effects of the change for more than a year. He is reminding other KU offices of the coming code change.
John Francis, program assistant for public relations in the School of Engineering, said that all of the school's recruiting publications now have stickers that state the 785 area code change.
All correspondence containing the University's telephone number, whether paper or electronic, will be affected by the change.
"That means everything from Web sites to letterhead on recruitment correspondence and donor acknowledgments will need to be corrected," Crowe said.
There is no way to estimate the costs the area code change would create, he said. But there shouldn't be any need to throw away materials. Callers have a grace period of more than a year in which they can use either the old or new area code when calling the University. Crowe said that was plenty of time to use stationery that had the old area code and to make any necessary changes to Web sites.
Tom Hutton, director of University Relations, said that even though almost everyone in the administration would be reprinting, he didn't expect any problems with the change.
In March, the Office of the Provost established a policy on graphic and printing standards for all Lawrence campus stationery.
The University's new stationery standards offer three versions of KU letterhead and two versions of KU business cards. They can be imprinted with either the University seal or the Jayhawk.
"We can now follow a couple of different styles instead of 250 or 300," Hutton said. "It
helps our image and cuts costs."
The policy should not only save printing time but also about $150,000 throughout the next five years.
The Lawrence campus Printing Services annually produces more than 1 million pieces of letterhead, 3 million envelopes, and 280,000 business cards.
Lynn Bretz, associate director of University Relations, said the new standardization would
streamline the University's printing services.
"We are handling what could be chaotic as effectively as possible." Bretz said.
Crowe said the increase in telephone, cell phone and fax numbers, had caused a nationwide need for new area codes.
But something usually gets missed in the changeover, Crowe said.
"We are going to do our darnedest to make sure that doesn't happen," he said.
Majority of Kansas will be 785
Increase in phone numbers makes new shift necessary
Goodbye 913. Hello 785.

The southern half of Kansas will remain in the 316 area code.
At 12:01 a.m. on July 20, dialing Kansas' new 785 area code will reach anyone in the northern part of the state from Lawrence to the Colorado state line, said Rosemary Foreman, director of Public Affairs for the Kansas Corporation Commission.
The new area code applies to most of the state where 913 had been used. Anyone living east of Eudora will still use 913. That includes the metropolitan Kansas City, Kan. area.
According to the commission, the new area code was created because prefixes in the 913 area were going to be exhausted by 1998. The new area code is expected to meet the demand for new telephone numbers through the year 2005.
Even though the new area code goes into effect in July,either 913 or 785 will work until Oct. 1, 1998.
Foreman said the Oct. 1 date may be changed if prefixes were used more quickly than expected. But Foreman said the commission had built in plenty of time and did not expect an earlier end date.
The new area code was assigned by the North American Numbering Plan Administration (NANP), a part of the Federal Communications Commission. The NANP is responsible for assigning and monitoring telecommunication number requirements throughout North America.
Foreman said that an independent study group created an implementation plan when Southwestern Bell notified NANP of the need for an additional area code in Kansas.
The study group consisted of representatives from local phone companies, long-distance providers, wireless servers, the State Chamber of Commerce and Kansas Corporation Commission staff.
Ken Branson, manager of Media Relations for Bellcore, a communications consulting firm, said the plan was approved because it was consistent with industry-established guidelines that were primarily concerned with making sure new area codes would be sufficient for as long as possible.
"We don't want to repeat the process in a couple of years," Branson said.
New area code
The new 785 area code includes Lawrence,
Topeka, and Salina. Telephone customers can
begin using the area code July 20, but the 913
area code will still include the area until Oct.
1, 1998.

Foreman said the commission established the 14-month grace period to allow businesses time to change databases and automated telephone systems and to use stationery and business cards.
"We wanted this changeover to be done in a clean manner," she said. "The commission is customer oriented, and the public has accepted the area code change readily. We haven't had any complaints or any backlash to the change."
Nun's love of fireworks raises money for church
The Associated Press
ANDOVER — Anyone needing sparklers or Roman candles this weekend might turn to Sister Mary Collar, who uses her knowledge of fireworks to help her church.
Dressed in a faded blue T-shirt, white jogging shorts, athletic shoes and a neon pink cap on a recent day at the fireworks stand, Sister Collar, 33, doesn't fit many people's ideas about nuns.
"I'm just an average person doing
"The first time I came here, I thought she'd be dressed up as a nun and talking about God," said John Decicco, a church member working at one of the tents. "But she's really into the fireworks stuff."
She grew up with three brothers who each started companies that manufacture and sell fireworks. Conversation about fireworks is common during family reunions.
Sister Collar is the business and spiritual leader of St. Anne's two tents, which, for the second year, will raise money for the church. She runs the tents with her brothers' wholesale company.
things for God," said Sister Collar, who supervises St. Anne's Church's charity fireworks tents in Andover.
Since then, she has made the drive from her home in Salina to McPheron. Then she travels to St. Anne's Church to do volunteer work with the youth group and continue her studies to become a nun.
When she's not at the stand, Sister Collar works as a dental hygienist in McPherson. She has been at that job for 11 years, but four years ago she decided she wanted something more. So she began her studies to become a nun and hopes to work full-time with troubled youth.
For Sister Collar, working at the fireworks stand is a perfect blend of her favorite childhood memories and her adult ambitions.
"I like when people get real excited about fireworks, and kids come in," she said. "I see myself in the kids' eyes. It's a rush."

Internet ruling puts responsibility on parents, on-line companies
When the Supreme Court declared certain provisions of the Communications Decency Act, 1996, unconstitutional, seeking to protect children from smut on the Internet, it created a new benchmark on Internet policing policies.
The court's Thursday decision said the Act, in its attempt to protect children from indecent material on the Internet, improperly restricted the free-speech of adults, enshrined in the First Amendment.
The argument that the screening technology, which blocks portions of the Internet not suitable for children, is hardly fool-proof, should activate online companies to devise better systems
Hopefully, this decision will help place the responsibility on the players who matter most in the Internet-pornography debate — the parents and the online companies.
Companies need to invest money in software limiting childrens' access to porn.
to help protect interests of children. Online companies will have to better assess their responsibility in the area. Granted, parents are the first and foremost guardians of their children. But the Internet is a technological juggernaut, and only better technology can help beat technological loopholes.
Parents, on the other hand, will have to make more time and, in many cases, beef up their own technical abilities if they are to supervise their children better. Less than 40 percent of homes connected to the Internet use screening software, claims Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash.
It may perhaps help if web-parlors for
children are created, or schools and colleges better equip themselves with internet software. For a start, online companies could help make both Internet software and screening technology more cost-effective for educational institutions.
Almost 8,000 sites on the Internet display pornographic material, according to the Chicago Tribune, the numbers of which rise systematically every day. Although the Supreme Court ruling is a victory for cybercitizens, the apprehensions expressed by the Act's supporters are real and well-grounded.
All of us who monitored the debate about whether television is bad for children know what happens when sound-bites and tokenism overtake meaningful actions. If the Internet is to be made a healthy medium of communication, it needs a better shot of good intentions on all sides.

Downtown parking solution in question
As any shopper in downtown Lawrence knows, finding a parking space near downtown is a difficult task.
1. Strengthen parking rules and regulations relative to long-term parking in designated short-term parking spaces, increase fines and penalties for illegal parking, and increase enforcement.
The City commissioned Walker Parking Consultants/Engineers Inc., of Denver, to do a study on the parking problem. The company decided on several possible solutions in its 60-page proposal. Among them were:
2. re-strete existing parking facilities to gain additional parking capacity.
3. Expand with structured parking.
According to Sunday's Lawrence Journal-World, Don Monahan, of Walker Parking, recommended the first of these suggestions, under the assumption that people would not overpark or park
Increased charges, fines enforcement not answer to problem, will anger public.
longer than necessary. This is wrong.
longer than necessary. This is wrong.
People are unlikely to change their habits significantly and will continue to take their chances with getting tickets.
Rather than having public approval at the parking spaces that may be opened, there will be public outcry at the lack of free parking spaces, and the fine, charge and enforcement increases.
“Aren’t we down here to spend OUR money at YOUR stores? Why should there be watchdogs breathing down our necks, just waiting for us to spend two minutes too long in one of your stores, so that you can ticket us and make even more money off of us?” they will ask.
Monahan should take into account his own example of Deadwood, S.D., where the city took his initial suggestion of increasing charges but then had to revert to the old charges after much citizen and tourist outcry.
The ideas of restriping existing lots to add 40 to 50 spaces is reasonable, as is making Vermont and New Hampshire streets one-way with angled parking, adding 275 additional spaces.
The prospect of a parking garage, although it would add 400 spaces, seems expensive (estimated cost of $5.75 million), unrealistic and excessive, when other, cheaper options are available.
A copy of the proposal can be acquired at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St., or at the city manager's office at City Hall, Sixth and Massachusetts streets, where comments can be sent through July 15.

Ticket taker insolent to late movie-goers
I have seen the face of pure pomposity.
There are few people in this world that I truly despise. Fred Phelps, John Starks, Barbra Streisand. That guy who sense-
lessly yelled "White or wheat?" at me at a Subway in Boulder. My seventh-grade shop teacher. An assortment of European dictators from the past. But the ticket taker at the Tivoli makes Mussolini look like Dick Clark.
It resides in the heart of West-port. At the artsier-than-thou Tivoli Westport Square movie theater, to be exact. Behind the ticket counter, to be even more exact. Wearing a smug, disaffected grin and a couple days of equally disaffected facial hair.
OK, the story goes like this. And in the words of the great Dave Barry, I'm not making this up:
A few weeks ago, I went with a couple of friends to Westport to see *Chasing Amy*. The movie — I'm sorry, "film," — began at 7 p.m., and we arrived at approximately 7:08 p.m. Apparently this was sin number one in the book of art house etiquette, because the reception we got from ticket boy was chillier than a Dairy Queen in Duluth. Hoping we hadn't missed much, we asked him how long the previews lasted.
"The TRAILERS spanned three to four minutes," he muttered, hardly looking up from his tattered Bukowski paperback.
"So do you mind filling us in on what happens in the first few minutes of the 'film'?" I asked.
At this I ginned, thinking he was making some sort of tongue-in-cheek joke, poking fun at the so-hip demeanor of art house patrons. But when we plopped down our money, he said, "I wouldn't sell you these tickets, but I have to. I don't approve of latecomers."
He sighed. "I can't tell you that. That goes against my entire moviegoing philosophy."
My friends and I exchanged a what-the-hell-is-this glance as the tortured ticket taker, a man who'd obviously sacrificed everything for his art, disdain
I was about to make damn well sure my size 10 Converse arrived on time at a very personal, special part of his anatomy when my friends dragged me into the pitch black theater. We were suddenly so concerned with being discreet that we didn't even sit together. It was impossible to find seats with this kind of pressure. And I couldn't enjoy the movie because my mind was focused on coming up with an adequate insult for art fascist once we exited the movie theatre.
"Excuse me," he whined from behind, and we turned around. "When you enter the theater," he requested, "I would ask that you show a little discretion in choosing your seats. After all, it's pretty full, and, well, the people in there did arrive on time."
Like George Costanza, I was looking for my perfect "jerk store" comeback. Sadly, the best I could think of was, "Did you make this movie? No? Then shut the @#$ up."
fully made change for us. Before we could enter the theater, the wannabe sensitive artist stopped us.
But when my moment of glory came, I chickened out and walked right past him, only to gripe later about our ridiculous exchange, as I'm doing now. I admit it, I'm afraid of confrontation.
But what is it that makes certain people believe they are entitled to drip stodginess from their pores? I've come to expect such haughty aloofness from wine stewards, hotel conciergees and the entire state of New York. When I walk into Brooks Brothers, I expect to be treated slightly better than a piece of used dental floss. But when a two-bit slacker in Missouri making $4.50 an hour believes himself somehow superior to me because I was eight minutes late to a movie, it's time to draw the line.
Lighten up, guy. Just as a consumer has no right to be condescending to the person helping him, no one's job should allow him to feel superior to his customers. If such exchanges are happening in the heart of the Midwest, then they must be happening in every corner of the world. Maybe we should pick up all of Westport and move it to

In memory of friends lost, make a difference in life
Knowing so few people, it was that much more surprising to find out one of them had died. It got me thinking about those people in my life who have died, not my father or grandparents, because losing the generations before you is a part of life that you come to expect, but the young people who, like LaTina, were just coming into their own when their lives were cut short. People like my friend Lisa, who died of a childhood disease when she was 19, and who made me laugh. My friend Ruthie, who was murdered in 1992 at the age of 22, and who always made me feel loved. My roommate, Dac, who died of AIDS and
As I read the June 18th issue of the Kansan, I was struck by the common theme running through all of the stories on the front page — death. A theme that was broken only by the picture of a juggler. Two students and one former student who died, and the story about the firefighters' pay, an issue involving the fact firefighters risk their lives every time they go to work, all got me to thinking
I had intended to write something light and somewhat humorous as a counterpoint to my first column. But, as I tried to think of a topic, all I could see was LaTina's face just a few days before she died, as we exchanged a few words in front of the Kansan offices. I didn't have the privilege of knowing her well, but since I'm from Kansas City and I spend my weekends and breaks there, I only know about half a dozen students by name and sight on this campus, and she was one of them. In a way, I knew her better than I know just about anyone else around here.

was buried on the day I started college in 1993. He was younger than I am now. He pissed me off and drove me up the wall, but he always made me think.
I wanted to write for the Kansan, because, as a nontraditional, lesbian student, I didn't see myself reflected in the paper. As a result, I decided that I wanted to be at least one voice for these groups. But just as LaTina could not speak conclusively for all African Americans on campus, I cannot speak for all nontraditional or gay students. So, if you feel you belong to a group that is underrepresented in the Kansan or any other media, or if you feel there is a lack of positive role models for those who come after us, then get off your couch and do something about it.
V. Meredith Toenjes is a Kansas City, Kan., junior in psychology.
I also thought about LaTina, about all the things she had accomplished, all the obstacles she had overcome just to be here, and all the things that she still had to offer. I thought about the things that drove her so hard she neglected her health. And I thought about her family and how I felt sorry for her parents.
And remember to tell them LaTina sent you.
Letter
Later, when I had a chance to read LaTina's articles, I was surprised to find some of the things I'd been thinking about reflected in her own words. She was a positive influence for all the young people who knew her and a voice of a minority group that doesn't always get to see one of its own in print. She was no saint, just a concerned person who made sure to stand up and be counted. This made me think about why I decided to write for the paper, and what I want my life to stand for. So, I've come to this conclusion: The best way to remember those who weren't able to realize all their plans is to try to carry on some of their work.
Live life in an honorable manner, to the fullest, for our departed friends
As I sat and read the June 25th issue of the Kansan, I was overwhelmed. The letters regarding LaTina Sullivan were incredible. I didn't know LaTina. In fact, I had unfortunately never before heard her name. However, I felt like I knew her. You see, my best friend died on June 14th. She too was 23 and meant the world to me.
When I read the outpouring of emotions and regard for LaTina, I realized she and my Amanda were one in the same. Dear, precious souls who's giving natures and bright smiles made the world a better place for the rest of us. So often we see the horror, destruction and negativity in the world in which
we live. We are faced with poverty, war, divorce, hate, abuse and many other unpleasanties that can be overbearing at times.
we oftentimes complain, gripe or lash out at people instead of directing inward, analyzing ourselves and our own strengths and weaknesses, then creating our own positive changes. I am as guilty of this as the next person. However, I want this to change. I want those of you reading this now to look at the positive aspects of your life and others. We are all here for a purpose, to learn from and love one another. It's that simple. No matter your age, race, religion, gender,
income, sexual preference,
career, or number of body
piercings, we are all valuable
and need love.
Please, as a tribute to the beautiful souls like LaTina and my beautiful Amanda Brooke, who knew this and lived their lives in this honorable manner, love your own life and care for all creatures around you. Practice those random acts of kindness and let's all do our part to live our lives like the few glorious souls that recently slipped away. We may not see them, but they are here, and we must live life to the fullest in their honor.

Clinton pushes for online security
WASHINGTON — Under pressure to quickly build a secure online marketplace for American business, President Clinton pushed yesterday
The Associated Press
to make the Internet a global free-trade zone and promised to put key patent, privacy and copyright policies in place within 12 months.
"In many ways electronic commerce is the Wild West of the global economy. Our task is to make sure it's safe and stable terrain," Clinton said.
JOHN CLINTON
He and Vice President Al Gore were hosts for an East-Room reception of industry executives to endorse a presidential task force's call for a hands-off, no-new-taxes approach to regulating business transactions on the worldwide computer network.
The Internet "should be a place where government makes every effort ... not to stand in the way, to do no harm." Clinton said.
Later yesterday, the president signed an information-technology agreement that would eliminate tariffs on an array of computers, semiconductors and telecommunications technology by 2000.
Clinton said the products represent "essential building blocks" of the information superhighway, and removing tariffs would bring a $5 billion reduction in tariffs on U.S. exports.
Some industry leaders have accused Clinton of moving slowly to

the administration has not budged on the restricted sale of encryption devices.
Without clear patent, copyright, privacy and other protections, some American companies and consumers have been leery of online transactions.
The lack of such protections risks the loss of billions of dollars to overseas competitors whose governments have already moved to secure electronic commerce, said Dennis Tsu, director of electronic commerce for Sun Microsystems.
Even as he welcomed Clinton's nod to industry self-regulation, Tsu said policy decisions were not happening fast enough.
Industry analysts expect Internet trade, if left mostly unfettered by government regulation, to reach $200 billion in the United States by 2000.

business-software alliance of 14 major high-technology companies, said her membership was too grateful for self-regulation to grouse about Clinton's pace.
Clinton put Gore in charge of holding bureaucrats to the 12-month deadline.
Following recommendations from a task force, the president issued 13 specific objectives, including:
—The negotiation of an international agreement making the Internet a tariff-free zone.
—The federal purchase of 4 million items online, in order to bring government procurement into the electronic age.
—The development, with help from the Commerce Department and Office of Management and Budget, of industry codes of conduct and technology tools to protect privacy online.
Chairs to memorialize Oklahoma bombing

OKLAHOMA CITY — One hundred sixty-eight stone-and-glass chairs — one for each of the people killed in the Oklahoma City bombing — will be erected at the site of the

The design was selected yesterday after an international competition.
The chairs, their backs and seats made of stone, will appear to float above glass bases during the day. At night, lights will illuminate the inscription of each victim's name.

From across a reflecting pool, the Survivors Tree, an elm scarred by the blast, will be surrounded by a low, circular wall inscribed with the names of the survivors.
Each design finalist received a $15,000 prize. Organizers, who plan to raise the memorial money privately, have already collected $2.5 million. Construction is
"When you see an empty chair, you see the emptiness, the absence," said Torrey Butzer, an Oklahoma native who now lives in Germany with her husband. She and her husband, Hans-Ekkehkard Butzer, who both graduated from the University of Texas architecture school, designed the memorial along with Sven Berg.

with the plans.
Other designs in the competition proposed a 60-foot leaning, granite wall to symbolize both the fall of the building and the spirit of a barnraising; a series of glass walls recalling the fence surrounding the bomb site that serves as a makeshift memorial; and a series of buildings filled with victims' belongings.
Not all were pleased
"I'm tired of people lining their pockets with my husband's memory," said Tina Tomlin, who lost her husband, Rick, in the bombing. "I think that fence and the bombed building over there is the best memorial. How else to show what an explosion looks like?"
Sex offender list not helpful for all
The Associated Press
SAN DIEGO — A CD-ROM with detailed information on 64,000 sex offenders, made public yesterday by a new California law, confirmed an old suspicion for one San Diego grandmother.
She typed the name of the stepfather of her four grandchildren into the computer at the sheriff's office and found that he had been convicted of three rapes of girls under age 18.
The grandmother,

California's compilation of the CD-ROM is one of the most aggressive attempts yet to keep people informed of sex offenders in their midst. It is part of the wave of state and federal laws that followed the 1994 murder of 7-year-old Megan Kanka by a repeat sex offender living in her neighborhood.

The rest of the listings include those convicted of what the state considers serious sex offenses. They are identified by community and ZIP code.
The records being made public in California do not list addresses, except for a small group of high risk offenders.
At least one lawsuit already has been filed to challenge the open-records policy as unfairly punishing those who already served their time.
"The public is totally unsympathetic and disinterested in the privacy rights of people convicted of sex crimes," said Elisabeth Semel, a San Diego attorney with the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.
The CD-ROM lists the names and ZIP codes, and in many cases includes photographs of 64,000 people in California who have committed a broad range of sex crimes since 1944. That irks Michael McGlinn, an attorney for two men who he says are rehabilitated and should not be part of the registry.

Celebration finished, communism arrives
Handover swaps flags, stamps uniforms, ideas
The Associated Press
HONG KONG — It was the last thing expected from a Chinese soldier: an outfit and demeanor that made him seem more like a hotel concierge than a professional warrior.
Britain had just handed over Hong Kong to China early yesterday, and the first Chinese soldiers were arriving at their new home, the Prince of Wales military headquarters.
There they met 50 rain-soaked foreign journalists who had staked out the barracks to cover the soldier's every move.
"Thank you everyone for your attention," the white-gloved soldier said, speaking in Mandarin, China's official language.
"Thank you. Please leave now," he said, waving his arms gently and trying vainly to usher the reporters out.
This clearly was a unit of the People's Liberation Army that China had trained to deal with people accustomed to more freedoms than Chinese enjoy.
Eventually, eight more soldiers arrived to help their comrade fend off the media. They, too, remained polite until the reporters left on their own.
Across Hong Kong, the enormity of the change wrought by the handover at midnight Monday could be seen.
At a post office, people waited to buy stamps bearing the territory's new name, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Queen Elizabeth II's profile was missing.
At Government House, the official residence of Hong Kong's 28 British governors, the royal insignia on the gates had been taken down. The red flag of Hong Kong, with its five-petal design, hung from the flagpole.
badges, which replace the colonial insignia with the five-petal design set against a Hong Kong skyline.
Police guarding the governor's mansion sported their new cap
But street and place names with royal roots — Queen's Road, Albert Road — were unchanged and probably will stay that way. Authorities have said changing them would only make life worse on Hong Kong's crowded roads.
The changeover also was evident as the festivities continued.
The celebrations leading up to the British withdrawal featured bagpipers dressed in tartans, the royal family, and old British melodies such as "Auld Lang Syne."
But that had changed by last night, when a foundation set up by Hong Kong businesses financed an elaborate parade of floats across Victoria Harbor.
Tens of thousands of people lined the waterfront, up to 60 deep in some places, to watch the floats pass. Each contained gigantic electrified images of Chinese good luck and prosperity, such as dragons, bats and leaping carp.
Yeltsin's foes criticize daughter's official role
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — The speaker of Russia's lower parliament house said yesterday that President Boris Yeltsin broke the law when he appointed his younger daughter as his image adviser.
Gennady Seleznyov, a member of the opposition Communist Party, said the appointment of Tatyana Dyachenko, 37, was

got under the civil service law, the Interfax news agency reported. The law bans close relatives of government workers from official posts.
The president's press service denied that Yeltsin broke the law.
"Under the law, the Russian president is not a civil servant and the limits on employment of close relatives do not concern him," the service said in a statement.
Seleznyov did not say whether the State Duma would respond to Yeltsin's move, but action appeared unlikely because parliament has no control for government appointments.
Yeltsin's foes have targeted Dyachenko, a computer engineer by training, for manipulating her
father and for controlling access to him.
Her appointment, announced Monday, had been expected since early 1996 when she emerged as a key player in Yeltsin's re-election bid. She has been credited with transforming the president's sluggish campaign into a powerful platform that played on fears of communism.
Most Russian media supported Yeltsin in his re-election campaign a factor credited to Dyachenko and the media were sympathetic to her appointment.
"That was a reasonable idea to make her role as an adviser official," Komsomolskaya Pravda said in a front-page commentary.
Critics worry that Dyachenko's expanded clout might create a dangerous precedent.
In Soviet times it was not unusual for government officials to advance family members. Yeltsin also has appointed his elder daughter's husband to lead Aeroft, the state-run airline.
Dyachenko said that the appointment clarified her position. In an interview with Kommersant, she said her responsibilities would remain the same.
She also said reports had exaggerated her influence on her father. "I'm a convenient person to tell him unpleasant things," Dyachenko said. "It's easier for him to hear them from me."

was linked to mad cow disease.
Both McDonald's and Burger King maintained British beef was safe, but they had to import other meat because too many customers would not eat it.
McDonald's said it would begin using British beef again because surveys showed 75 percent of its customers supported the move.
Burger King customers also want British beef back on the menu, representative Emma Sturt said.
Russian law to limit sales of hard liquor
The Associated Press
MOSCOW - Russians will have a harder time buying their national drink -vodka -after a presidential decree barring small retailers and street kiosks from selling it went into effect yesterday.
The decree is part of the government's campaign against Russia's thriving black market in vodka and other hard liquor. The move restricts sales of liquor with an
alcohol content of more than 12 percent to larger stores.
The government raised the price of vodka by 40 percent earlier this year, trying to force black market prices up as well. Officials hoped the price hike would encourage drinkers to choose legal liquor rather than moonshine.

SUA's summer music: Ska,right
Finals, timing reasons for show's small turnout
By Daniel Ethan Thompson Kansan staff writer
Without a stage or a single spotlight, three ska bands rocked the hill last Thursday night. Unfortunately for the bands, it was mostly the hill they were playing for.
WILLIAMS
The concert was Student Union Activities' Summer on the Hill: Summer Ska Show. The show started about 6 p.m., and featured O'Phil, The Norman Three-Sixty and Low Brows.
"It's a pretty sorry turnout," said John Orcutt, Live Music Director for SUA. "But I've heard it's like this every summer."
He said the bands were paid for their performances but were primarily playing for exposure. At any given time during the event there were about 50 spectators. "There just isn't anyone here," Gruft said.
"We wish more people were here, but it's never a waste of time," said Otis Warner, lead vocalist for Lawrence's The Norman Three-Sixty.
SUA ran a quarter-page advertisement in last Wednesday's 'Kansan' and commercials on KJHK. In addition, fliers were posted around town and on Gumby's pizza boxes, one of the show's sponsors.
"They were going to put fliers up, but I didn't see it advertised anywhere," said Jenn Fortune, alto saxophonist for The Norman Three-Sixty.

Orcutt said filers were given to Gumby's Pizza for dis

"We had enough fliers for about two nights," said Callie Meier, Lawrence junior and Gumby's employee. "We sell about 200 pizzas a night."

"I used to play in a band, and it was a real drag when no one showed," he said. "They're good, and it must be disappointing. But I guess it's summer."
Orcutt said the low attendance could be attributed to several factors. The show was held the night before final exams for one-month-long classes. In addition, lighting wasn't budgeted, so the show had to be finished by dark.
"I've never been to an early show that worked," said Alex Thomas, lead vocalist for O'Phil. "No one is on and about then. We had to be off by 9 p.m., which is when opening bands usually go on."

SUA spent less on this year's Summer on the Hill than last year, Orcutt said.
"My husband is a KU police officer and he called and told me about it," she said. "It's very good."
"This year we had to cut the stage or not pay the bands," he said.

City park comes alive with sounds of band music
Bv Rebecca Osladil
Kansan staff writer
Band music will fill the air in South Park tonight. Children will dance while adults sit on lawn chairs and blankets and tap along with one of Lawrence's oldest traditions.
The Lawrence City Band, directed by Robert Foster, will perform tonight in the gazebo at South Park on 11th and Massachusetts Streets.
"The Lawrence City Band exists to present performances in the style of safe and wholesome traditional American outdoor concerts. I try to select concerts that are really fun to play and entertaining to the audience," said Foster, professor of music and dance and director of the KU band.
The show will be the fifth in a series of eight free summer concerts performed Wednesday nights from 8 to 9 o'clock.
The Lawrence City Band is sponsored by the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department, assisted by the Rice Foundation. Forty core band members are paid through the foundation.
The current band has given free summer concerts in South Park since the mid-1960s, but the Lawrence City Band has existed longer. The band played its first concert Aug. 20, 1863, the night before Quantrill's raid.
Barbara Kelly, manager of the Lawrence City Band, said the band was the best free entertainment in Lawrence. But she said it was difficult to become a band member.
"The level of expertise required to plav is actually quite good." Kelly said.
There are 67 band members, including Lawrence High School and KU students and full-time musicians. Most band members have other careers but love to play music, Kelly said.
Playing in the city band is a family tradition for Matt McCready, Prairie Village senior and member of several KU bands. His father and uncle also are band members.
"It's great to be able to play with older guys. It's neat to be in an organization that has such a historical meaning to the town. It's a great band and a real community activity," McCready said.
The band's professionalism has been rewarded. It has received the Sudler Award, which is given by the John Philip Sousa Foundation to an outstanding city band. The Lawrence City Band was the second band in the United States to receive the award.
Bob Newton, master of ceremonies for this year's concert series and KLWN announcer, said Lawrence residents have good programs to anticipate. "On July 23, cannons will be brought to the park and fired during
"We say this is the small-town feature," Kelly said. "It's great to see such a diverse age group all tapping out the rhythm and enjoying the performance. You let the music go in one ear and out the other, and you feel better for having been here."
For those who cannot attend the performances, KLWN will broadcast the shows live.
the band's rendition of Tchalkovsky's '1812 Overture.' Newton said.
More than 400 people attended last week's concert.
Lawrence resident Larry McElwain said the concerts appealed to diverse groups.

Devon Kahn, Lincoln, Neb., senior and Sarah Johnson, St. Louis, Mo., senior, take a break between classes to talk and have a cigarette. Some KU students doubt that the government's plan to curb cigarette ads will halt smoking.
Proposal lights up debate
By Kirsten Havner
Kansan staff writer
James Dowell, Tulsa, Okla., senior, did not start smoking because of Joe Camel or the Marlboro Man. He started smoking because of peer pressure and boredom.
"I was really anti-smoking in high school, but when I came to the dorms it gave me something to do," he said. "Everyone else smoked, and it gives you a reason to talk to people."
Some smokers at the University of Kansas said the proposed tobacco agreement to limit cigarette advertising might not make a difference.
"I don't think that it is Joe Camel or the Marlboro Man who influence kids to start smoking," Dowell said. "I think it is the people you are around and the environment in which you live."
Tony Alaimo, Denver senior, said that he had not been influenced by tobacco advertising.
"I started smoking because I wanted to see what I could get away with," he said. "I bought cigarettes underage with my best friend, and then I didn't smoke again for a year."
Such an attitude is common in

young people. They tend to try to act like adults, to be macho or to try to project a cool image, said Len Alfano, assistant professor of advertising.
Under the proposed agreement, human and cartoon characters could not be used in advertisements.
Jamie Najim, Wichita junior, agreed that cigarette advertising should be restricted.
"By using cartoons, they are
appealing to a younger audience.
Children don't need to see that."
Najim said. "We don't see cartoons promoting drinking or sex."
Alaimo said he saw positive ideas in the proposal.
"If the government allots money to really help people stop smoking, I really think it would help. I would try to stop smoking if I had help," Alaimo said.
The agreement will force the tobacco industry to put its anti-smoking efforts to the test. If smoking among youth does not decrease 30 percent in five years, 50 percent in seven years, and 60 percent in 10 years, the industry would be penalized $80 million for each percentage point missed.
"I think that is terrible. You can change methods, but who says that the methods are going to be successful?" Najim said. "If they don't work, I don't think they can be held financially responsible."
Najim said she thought there would be opposition.
"I think smoking is a personal choice," Najim said. "It is not healthy; all smokers know that. Just like alcohol, people make a choice no matter what the government decides."
Scientists grind brains looking for answers
Research team searches for new treatments for Alzheimer's, seizures
By Crystal Honores
Kansan staff writer
Research assistant and recent graduate Nicole Vasko spends her days grinding rat brains.
Though the job may seem disturbing, Vasko is part of a group working toward developing treatments for Alzheimer's disease, seizures and alcoholism. The research team thinks answers to medical questions could be found in the protein receptors of the nervous system
in the rats' brains.
Vasko is part of a 16-member research team led by Elias Michaelis, chairman of pharmacology and toxicology. The team include graduates, undergraduates, graduate students, postdoctoral students and technical assistants.
Michaelis began his research in 1971. Since then, most of his research has focused on the glutamate receptors, a part of the nerve ending that receives messages from stimulated glutamates on adjacent cells.
In 1974, Michaelis was the first scientist to identify glutamate receptors and publish an article about the special proteins. Small increases in glutamates in the brain may benefit learning and memory skills. Therefore,
Michaelis said, the research could provide a means to enhance memory in cases such as Alzheimer's disease.
worry because the increase in glutamates doesn't reach levels of toxicity.
The research into glutamates may also benefit alcoholics. Alcohol consumption blocks glutamate receptors. Consequently, Michaelis said, trying to learn things in an inebriated state may not be the best method.
The process of learning causes a slight increase in glatamates, but Michaelis said there was no need to
On the other hand, high concentrations in brain glutamates could be toxic. During seizures and strokes, the brain produces extreme amounts of glutamates that cause cells to self-destruct. He said the research could also provide new ideas for treatment of these conditions.
Michaels said that when alcoholics' receptors are blocked, their brains produce additional receptors. Michaels also said that some alcoholics are more susceptible to seizures. Without alcohol, their receptors are not blocked, causing delirium tremens — violent shaking and hallucinations.

Michaelis's research could provide a medication that could block these receptors and protect the other cells in the brain from toxic levels of glutamate released during alcoholic seizures.
The high levels of glutamates produced during a seizure could spread through the various layers of brain cells and cause them to self-destruct.
Michaelis also said he thought that the glutamate receptors triggered the formation of oxygen radicals, an oxygen atom with a superfluous electron, in the elderly. These oxygen radicals damage proteins and could cause memory loss.
Our idea is that glutamate is one of the culprits," Michaelis said. To research these theories the KU scientists need to isolate the glutamate receptors.
And this is where Vasko comes in.
Vasko is working on extracting and purifying glutamate receptors from experimental animals. When she is finished purifying a protein, .006 percent of the brain's original weight was a good yield. Vasko strained the rat
purée through a glutamate-bead-covered surface, to which the glutamate receptors attach. This process can take approximately 10 days.
"It's so difficult to purify one protein," Vasko said. "It's such a small amount."
Vasko said that her role may seem minor in comparison with the bigger picture, but it was an important part.
Michaelis said that his research might never be finished.
"We're continuously raising new problems," he said.

Quantrill's to close its doors
By Dana Brooks
Kansan staff writer
Big business and tax hikes have claimed another victim in downtown Lawrence.
Quantrill's Antique Mall and Flae Market, 811 New Hampshire St., will close its doors July 31.
"The transition is already going on," said Randy Davis, owner of Quarrill's. "The growing popularity and size of Lawrence triggers major retailers, leaving mom-and-pop operations like us not able to afford being here any longer."
Quantrill's Flea Market opened in 1971. Davis bought the flea market in 1976 after the original owner died. He changed the name to Quantrill's Antique Mall in 1993 when the store expanded and began opening daily instead of just during weekends.
Quantrill's three floors provide retail space for 150 vendors.
But increases in property tax and the cost of meetings city codes is forcing Davis to close Quantrill's doors and his vendors to look for new spaces at the end of the month.
Since 1983, Quantrill's property tax has increased 150 percent, Davis said. This year the property value was appraised 16 percent higher, which will increase taxes again.
"This is a small business with small businesses in it," Davis said. "It's too much to overcome with every other expense increasing."
Larry Billings, co-owner of the Antique Mall, 830 Massachusetts St., agreed.
"It's really unfortunate this had to happen," Billings said. "Quantrill's has been there for 26 years; it's a historical site."
Billings said that many of Quantrill's vendors had looked for spaces in the Antique Mall, but Billings had only two spaces available.
Davis said his business future was uncertain.
"It's certainly hard for us to say goodbye to a good, old friend," Davis said.

Center caters to medical needs of student bodies
By Randall Rock, Watkins Chief of Staff Special to the Kansan
Watkins Memorial Health Center was started by students in 1906. The original Watkins Hospital was a gift to students from Elizabeth Watkins in 1931. Student fees have allowed continued improvements of services and facilities. A major renovation is nearing completion, which will provide students and staff with a more efficient, confidential and comfortable facility for health-care delivery.
The Watkins medical staff is comprised of ten board-certified physicians and four certified nurse practitioners. Specialty training in family medicine, internal medicine, gynecology, sports medicine and psychiatry is represented in the staff. Pharmacy, laboratory, X-ray, physical therapy, dietary counseling and health promotions departments allow the complete management of most students' health-care needs under one roof. Counseling and Psychological Services and Testing Services are located on the second floor of Watkins.
Specialty clinics have been developed for gynecological services, sports medicine, anonymous HIV testing, and tuberculosis screening and management
Watkins' services are available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Sunday from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. during the summer session. An after-hours charge is assigned to unscheduled visits after 4:30 p.m. on weekdays and 11:30 a.m. on weekends.
During the semester break, July 28 to Aug. 17, weekday hours will be from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Weekend coverage will remain the same. Students should utilize the services of Lawrence Memorial Hospital, 325 Maine St., emergency department when the Watkins team is unavailable.
The student health fee is the student's ticket to this facility. Most nurse-practitioner and physician visits are covered. There is a charge for after-hours services, specialty procedures, lab, X-ray and pharmacy services, but often at a cheaper rate than anywhere else. Campus visitors and University staff have limited access to services at Watkins on a fee-for-service basis. Students not enrolled in summer classes may access services by paying the summer health fee or fee-for-service.
Students with medical conditions requiring close monitoring, frequent lab testing and frequent medication adjustment can coordinate care among their home physicians and the Watkins staff. Lab, X-ray, physical therapy and pharmacy services can be accessed by the home physician's order. Information can be shared by phone, fax or mail, in confidence as appropriate.
Students with asthma, diabetes or other conditions that might require emergency response are encouraged to schedule an appointment to review their histories and outline a treatment plan with a Watkins staff member.
Call Watkins at (913) 864-9500 for further information or for scheduling information. Visit Watkins' Web site at /www.ukans.edu/home/Watkins

Tyson's punishment to be decided
The Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — Sorry may not be enough for Nevada boxing regulators weighing Mike Tyson's fate.
P
The Nevada State Athletic Commission seems to be unswayed by Tyson's apology and plea not to be banned from boxing. The five commission members will meet next week to
Mike Tyson
decide how to punish the former heavyweight champion for biting a chunk out of Evander Holyfield's ear during a June 28 fight.
Dr. Elias Ghanam, commission chairman, said something bad happened in the ring.
"The apology doesn't change what happened," he said.
The commission voted yesterday to suspend Tyson, pending the hearing, and to go ahead with a formal complaint, which Tyson said he would not contest. His nearly $30 million paycheck remains in the hands of the commission.
Tyson could face a lifetime ban from boxing, along with a $3 million fine when the commission meets, probably on July 9.
The commission can fine him a maximum 10 percent of his purse, $3 million, or suspend him from boxing for an undetermined amount of time.
"We can do anything all the way from doing nothing to banning him for life," said Dr. James Nave, a commission member.
Before voting to go ahead with the formal complaint, commissioners watched a tape of the fight, including slow-motion replays that clearly showed Tyson biting Hollyfield's right ear, then snarling an obscenity at him.
After the fight was stopped for about two minutes, action resumed and Tyson bit the left ear.
"He bit me again." Holyfield could be heard exclaiming on the tape.
TYSON-HOLYFIELD
Evander Holyfield Heavyweight boxer
"The commission should do the proper thing that would keep other boxers from doing the same thing."
Holyfield required 15 stitches to repair the gash in his right ear, which caused blood to flow down the side of his face.
"It's not ever going to look like a normal ear," said Jim Thomas, Holyfield's attorney.
Holyfield said Tyson's punishment should be severe enough to deter other fighters.
"If the sentence is too light, there's a chance it can happen again," Holyfield told MSNBC. "The commission should do the proper thing that would keep other boxers from doing the same thing."
Holyfield said he would not attend next week's hearing, which is expected to feature testimony from Tyson and others involved in the fight.
After the commission voted to proceed with disciplinary action, the meeting was opened for public comment and about a dozen people gave their opinions. Some urged for leniency, while others asked that any fines be donated to youth sports programs in Las Vegas.
A new federal law that took effect yesterday requires all states to honor any suspension the
DONALD J. BROOKS
commission hands down. New Jersey Boxing Commissioner, Larry Hazzard, said he didn't think a one-year suspension would be enough for Tyson. Championship fighters frequently take that much time off to prepare for their next fight, he said.
Evander Holyfield
He added that a five-year suspension would end the 31-year-old boxer's career.
A bill moved forward in the Nevada state Senate yesterday that would allow the commission to seize a boxer's entire purse for ring infractions, such as biting, with the money going to a fund for abused and neglected children. The measure, which is not retroactive, was prompted by Saturday's incident.
In addition to voting to proceed with the hearing, the commission directed that promoter Don King's $29,824,600 check to Tyson be canceled and that a second check be written for the same amount to the commission. The check would be put in an interest-bearing account until the hearing.
Meanwhile, the ring doctor who examined Hollyfield's bitten ear and determined the fight could continue, said the injury was more cosmetic than life-threatening.
Flip Homansky, a physician, said he allowed the fight to go on because he believed that the ear could not be damaged further in the fight and that it would not interfere with Holyfield's performance.
Referee Mills Lane acknowledged that a good case could have been made for stopping the fight after the first bite. But Lane said Hollyfield indicated that he wanted to go on.
"Put the mouthpiece in. I'm going to knock him out," Holyfield told his corner, as he prepared to resume fighting despite his bloodied ear.
Ear-bite fight sets record for viewers
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The Mike Tyson-Evander Holyfield bout, in which Tyson bit off a piece of the champion's ear, set pay-perview records, the Showtime network said.
A representative for the cable network said yesterday that preliminary numbers indicated the fight was purchased by between 1.8 and 1.9 million people, breaking the 1.6-million record set by the first Tyson-Holyfield match last November. Final figures will not be available for several days.
The heavyweight-title fight on Saturday night carried an average price of $49.95, although some cable systems charged as much as $49.95.
Subscribers of Long Island-based Cablevision paid $9.95 per round, getting a $29.85 bargain when Tyson was disqualified after three rounds. The company reported an 11-percent audience increase from the first fight.
At least two class-action lawsuits alleging breach of contract by Tyson for not giving fans their money's worth have surfaced, one filed in Dallas, another to be filed in San Francisco
Wimbledon proves to be trouble for Americans
The Associated Press
WIMBLEDON, England — American tennis hit bottom with its worst Wimbledon since World War I while the British celebrated their resurgence as Tim Henman stood poised to knock out defending champion Richard Kraalicek.
The only American left in the tournament, three-time champion Pete Sampras, led Petr Korda when play was halted because of darkness yesterday after another rain-interrupted afternoon.
Henman led the No. 4 Krajicek when the match was stopped, and the whooping Centre Court crowd filed out into the night chanting "Hen-man, Hen-man."
Boris Becker, also three-time champ, headed an unprecedented
German march into the men's quarters with 19-year-old Nicolas Kiefer and former champion Michael Stich, who is playing his last Wimbledon.
With the loss of Mary Joe Fernandez to Jana Novotna the American contingent failed to place a woman in the quarterfinals for the first time since 1913.
Top-seeded Martina Hingis stayed on course to become the youngest singles champion this century by defeating Belgium's Sabine Appelmans.
So did fellow 16-year-old Anna Kournikova, who beat Helena Sukova. Sukova, twice Kournikova's age at 32, double-faulted on match point.
The youngest singles champ was Charlotte "Lottie" Dod, who won at 15 years, 285 days in 1887.
WIMBLEDON
While Sampras had to wait to see if he would reach the quarters against Becker, the usually beleaguered British already saw Greg Rusedski advance that far with a 32-ace victory over American Richey Renebeck.
If Henman beats Krajicek, Britain would have two men in the quarters for the first time since 1961.
Germany hasn't had three men in the quarters of any Grand Slam in the Open era.
They did it this time with the No. 8 Becker's victory over No. 9 Marcelo Rios, the unseeded Kiefer's upset of No. 3 Yevgeny Kafelnikov, and the unseeded Stich's win over Mark Woodforde.
WNBA attracts record crowds in New York
High point largest for a women's game
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The WNBA averaged crowds of 10,369 for its first 16 games, the league said yesterday.
The high point was the largest attendance ever for a women's professional game — a crowd of 17,780 on Sunday for the New York Liberty's home opener against the Phoenix Mercury at Madison Square Garden.
WNBA representative Alice McGillion said the Liberty's ticket sale was not bolstered by giveaways or block purchases by corporate sponsors.
WNBA
The Mercury also was involved in the second- and third-largest draws. More than 16,000 attended both the Mercury's game at Houston and its home opener against Charlotte.
"We are off to an outstanding start with early crowd levels well beyond our original expectations," WNBA president Val Ackerman said. "Although we do not anticipate sustaining these levels throughout the season, it is clear that an audience exists for women's professional basketball."
She told The New York Times that fewer than 1,000 such tickets were distributed.

Castillo dethrones Royals
Tapani recovering will return soon
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Frank Castillo is more concerned about the upcoming return of Kevin Tapani than his spotless record against the American League.
"It seems like when Tapani comes back, I'm the odd man out," Castillo said after leading the Chicago Cubs against the Ravens 6-1 yesterday.
Castillo gave up an unearned run and five hits in eight innings, struck out six and walked one. While he is 3-9 against the NL, Castillo is 2-0 against the AL, beating Milwaukee on June 15.
"Castillo confused us," Royals manager Bob Boone said.
Tapani, signed to an $11 million, three-year contract, has been sidelined since hand surgery during spring training.
"The bottom line is, I have to get big league hitters out," Castillo said. "Sometimes you have one good game, then one bad game. I know how to pitch. I have to able to go out there and be consistent for six or seven innings."
Shawon Dunston had three hits and Ryne Sandberg drove in two runs, helping send the Royals to their fourth consecutive loss. Doug Glanville added a solo homer for the Cubs, who won for the fourth time in five games.
Glendon Rusch (3-5), activated from the disabled list prior to the game, pitched for the Royals after scheduled starter Chris Haney experienced soreness in his left forearm and elbow while warming up. Rusch gave up hits and wound up allowing all six runs and 10 hits in six innings.
"I had about a 30-minute warning," Rusch said. "The one positive of this is
that I still pitched six good innings."
R
Royala
Boone said Haney likely will go on the disabled list, although the Royals delayed making a roster move.
"The only thing I could
throw was a fastball," Haney said. "After throwing a breaking ball, the arm hurt. It tightened up. The doctors said I need to rest it. There's no serious injury, no ligament damage."
Kansas City dropped to a seasonworst six games below 500 at 36-42. Kansas City has lost five straight road games — all in Chicago.
"This was a regular game for us," Cubs manager Jim Riggleman said, downplaying any inter-league edge. "The best pitcher usually wins, and Frankie was the best today."
Glanville singled leading off the first, took third on Brian McRae's double and scored on Mark Grace's infield single. Sammy Sosa hit an RBI double, Dunston singled in a run and Sandberg's acrifice fly made it 4-0.
Tom Goodwin hit an RBI double in the third following a throwing error by third baseman Jose Hernandez.
Sandberg doubled in a run in the bottom half and Glanville homered in the fourth.
Notes: Castillo's outing was his longest since April 10 against Florida.

Rookie agrees to service
MANCHESTER, Conn. — Marcus Camby agreed yesterday to do 16 hours of community service to avoid prosecution on a marijuana possession charge.
The former University of Massachusetts All-Ameri
The Associated Press
can was an NBA rookie last season
with the Toronto Pantons
son with the Toronto raptors. Camby was arrested last month after being stopped by police near his home outside Hartford. A search of his rented car turned up a marijuana cigarette and the burned stubs of two marijuana cigarettes in the ashtray.
WOMEN'S BANDS
During a brief appearance in Superior Court, Camby gave his autograph to a man sitting
Marcus Cambv
behind him in the courtroom. He then stepped forward and admitted to Judge Edward Leavitt that he had made a mistake but said he never before had been arrested on a drug charge.
He was not required to enter a plea.
The judge told the 6-foot-11 Camby that the charges against him will be dropped if he completes the community service by Aug. 19.
Ronald Johnson, Camby's lawyer, said that the community service will be performed in the inner city, but he said it hadn't been decided which city.
Camby, 23, was arrested near his South Windsor home early on the morning of June 13 after police spotted his car drifting across the road. He was charged with possession of marijuana and failure to drive in the proper lane.
Police said they suspected a drunk driver when they pulled Camby over. Camby told police he had not been drinking, but the car was searched after police said the officer smelled burned marijuana.
Camby left UMass after his junior year and signed an $8.4 million, three-year contract with Toronto after he was picked second in the 1996 NBA draft.
Camby had no comment as he left the courthouse. But Johnson said his client hoped to use this experience as a springboard to something positive.
The NBA's drug policy includes only cocaine and heroin as banned substances. Rookies are the only players who are randomly tested for drugs.
Camby led UMass to a Final Four appearance in the 1996 NCAA tournament. The NCAA has since stripped the school of that record and ordered UMass to repay $151,000 in tournament revenue after ruling Camby ruined his amateur status by accepting gifts from an agent trying to woo him as a client.
Ruling sends dragon, baseball fan to court
The Associated Press
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. — Getting hit by a foul ball is one risk of going to a baseball game, but it might not be normal if you are distracted by a mascot in a seven-foot dinosaur costume.
That was the decision yesterday by California's 4th District Court of Appeal. The decision revives a lawsuit by a fan who was injured at a Rancho Cucamonga Quakes game in July 1994.
Tremor, the Quakes' mascot. Lowe turned around and saw the costumed figure standing in the aisle above him, entertaining the fans. Just as Lowe turned back to the game, a foul ball hit him in the face, breaking several bones, he said.
John Lowe said he had been watching the California League game when he had been touched on the shoulder by the tail of
San Bernardino County Superior Court Judge Paul Bryant had dismissed Lowe's suit. He had noted that the stadium had areas that were protected by screens and said that fans who choose to sit in unscreened areas could expect to run the risk of foul balls.
jury should decide whether the Quakes made the situation more dangerous by allowing Tremor to grate during the game.
But the appeals court said a
"The antics of the mascot are not an essential or integral part of the game," said Justice F. Douglas McDaniel in the 3-0 ruling. "Whether such antics increased the inherent risk to Lowe is an issue of fact to be resolved at trial."
Cyrus Lemmon, a lawyer for the team and the league, declined comment, saying he had not seen the ruling. Efforts to reach Lowe's lawyer, Marjorie Seapy, were unsuccessful.

Group saves champagne from the drink, downs it
ADVERTISING 864-4358
STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Five a.m. might be too early for champagne, but 81 years isn't too late
Members of the C Star diving consortium said bottoms up Monday morning to a cache of 81-year-old champagne they had just salvaged from a World War I shipwreck at the bottom of the Baltic Sea.
"The champagne tasted superb," Claes Bergvall told the Swedish news agency TT. He is part of the consortium that found the wreck last month under 210 feet of water in the Gulf of Finland.
The schooner Joenkoeping was laden with tens of thousands of bottles of cognac, champagne and red wine when it was sunk by a German U-boat in 1916.
The diving consortium doesn't know how much of the cargo is intact, but hopes it will fetch huge sums at auction.
Helicopter crashes, kills eight soldiers
FORT BRAGG, N.C. — An Army Black Hawk helicopter on a routine training mission crashed and burned in a remote wooded area of Fort Bragg, N.C., yesterday, killing all eight soldiers aboard, military officials said.
The chopper went down about 2:15 p.m. at the western end of the sprawling base near Fayetteville, N.C. All the dead were members of the 82nd Airborne Division, said Sgt. Ron Gardiner, a division representative.
It was not clear immediately what caused the crash. The weather was clear and calm when the helicopter went down. The crew was not conducting live-fire exercises and no other choppers were in the area.
Capt. Cindi King, a representative with the 82nd Airborne, said not all of the bodies would be removed to preserve the crash site for investigators from Fort Rucker, Ala., who were expected to arrive today.
Details from the crash site were sketchy, and access was limited.
An unidentified soldier saw the crash as he was driving on a road nearby and called 911, King said. She said military officials had spoken to him, but she did not say what information he had provided. Details from the crash site were.
The Black Hawk usually operates with a crew of three and can carry as many as 13 soldiers.
McDougal to stand trial for embezzlement
SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Whitewater figure Susan McDougal faces an Aug. 20 trial on charges she embezzled from famed conductor Zubin Mehta, a judge ruled yesterday.
Video shot by Raleigh television station WNCN-TV showed the wreckage still smoldering two hours after the crash. A chunk of charred metal was lying in a heap and was barely recognizable as the helicopter's cabin. Most of the rest of the aircraft appeared to have disintegrated.
McDougal's lawyer had argued that she was denied a fair preliminary hearing because she wasn't allowed to call key witnesses to tess tif, including Mehta's wife.
McDougald has pleaded not guilty to embezzling $150,000 from Mehta and his wife, Nancy, while working as their personal assistant and bookkeeper from 1989 to 1992. Prosecutors allege she forged checks and charged hotel rooms, plane tickets and shopping sprees.
But Superior Court Judge Paul Flynn said McDougal's constitutional rights had not been violated and set the Aug. 20 trial date...
McDougal has been jailed for contempt since September for refusing to testify before a federal grand jury looking into wide-ranging matters involving the Clintons and Whitewater land development deals.

Students wary about tuition hike
By Una Hart
The newly-approved tuition increase at the University of Kansas will amount to about $2 million in additional funds. But students are concerned about how the money will be spent, rather than the actual amount they'll have to pay.
Kansas staff writer
The Board of Regents approved a 2.8 percent tuition increase for the fall of 1998 at its June 26 board meeting in Topeka. The Regents also allowed an additional $1-per-credit-hour increase, contingent on the state legislature matching it with a $2-per-credit-hour technology appropriation.
John Miller, Kansas City, Kan., junior, said the increase would not be a hardship for him.
"But, if they are vague about how the money is used, I'm skeptical," he said. "I sounds like they are."
"It's expensive enough right now. Financial aid is the only way I'm going to school and they keep cutting that down," said Maggie Ward, Beloit freshman. "Basically, I just want to know where it's going, and I would like more of a say as to where it's going."
Lindy Ealdin, associate provost,
said that the increase would be spent for operational expenses,
which could include some academic equipment. However, if the legislature approves the $2-for-$1 request, that could mean an additional $1.8 million annually, which would have to be spent entirely on academic equipment.
Some KU students, however, said that paying tuition was already difficult.
"We've gone to individual departments and asked them to

Alien abductions have some deeper meaning
Student sees them as cries for help
By Daniel Ethan Thompson Kansan staff writer
A KU graduate student is researching what aliens already have studied.
Well...kind of.
Stephanie Kelley, an assistant director in the communications studies department, is studying alien abductees, people who claim to have been poked, prodded and penetrated by beings from another world.
"A million people have been abducted and are saying we need aliens," she said. "I want to know why."
She wants to understand why people report stories of alien abduction and what that says about our culture.
"I don't doubt there is life elsewhere. The universe is gargantuan," Kelley said. "But the possibility that another life form will look like us, with a head and torso, is incredibly unlikely."
Kelley doesn't believe her subjects have taken rides in space ships. She is studying what abductees are actually communicating by telling tales of abduction.
"The bottom line is, if there were flying saucers zipping around the skies with aliens, then someone would have proof," Kelley said.
Kelley received her undergraduate and graduate degrees from Emerson College in Boston. She's in her third year of the Ph.D communications program and is writing her dissertation about the rhetoric of alien abduction.
She has yet to find anything that convinces her. Kelley said that
By studying UFOlogists and works of other scientists, Kelley has come up with four social crises in our society that she thinks are causing stories of alien abductions. The crises are: information overload, spiritual stagnation, the search for community and the search for self.
the reports must reveal something else.
She said information overload was causing people to become lost in the sea of information, and in turn causing them to devalue emotion and intuition.
If it's not in the public sphere, Kelley said, then there are other ways that emotion or intuition manifest in people's lives. The increase in spirituality, holistic medicine and alien abductions are all examples. All are reactions of today's spiritual stagnation, she said.
"we need gods," Kelley wrote in her paper The Alien Myth of Abduction. "Belief in some greater being or purpose is another coping mechanism, one which is sorely lacking in today's society."
Kelley said humans also had an inherent need for a sense of belonging. Because of the technology and fragmentation of our culture, subcultures emerge in order to fulfill the individual's need for community, she said.
The final condition which promotes stories of abduction, Kelley said, was the search for self.
"It used to be people had a trade or craft. Now they're in a factory working with widgets," she said.
"There are a lot of people and it's a small planet, they need to feel special."
She contends that alien abductions are myths that give people a sense of community and of being unique.
Red planet was possibly wet planet eons ago Pathfinder finds rock indicating past floods
— a vital requirement if the red planet was to develop life as Earth did.
PASADENA, Calif. — The first chemical analysis of a rock on Mars suggests the dusty world may have had abundant water at the time it formed
Geologists already know that water once existed on Mars. On Monday, Pathfinder scientists presented evidence of massive floods 1 billion to 3 billion years ago. But the latest evidence hints that water may have existed there more than 4 billion years ago, about the same time life began on Earth.
The findings sent to scientists from the Mars Pathfinder spacecraft and released yesterday suggested the rock — a football-sized specimen nicknamed Barnacle Bill — may be andesite. That's a type of volcanic rock named for Earth's Andes Mountains, where it is common.
Such a rock could have been brought to the surface by volcanic activity or a meteorite impact.
It is too early to tell for certain that Barnacle Bill is andesite. But because some types of the rock only form in the presence of water, the new results may eventually lead to the demonstration that early Mars had water in its interior, said Allan Treiman, a planetary scientist at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston.
"It completely changes most people's views of Mars. Mars becomes a place that had water from the beginning and the water was very active in the planet," Treiman said in a telephone interview, just as scientists were finishing a news conference at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
After the Sojourner rover spent 10 hours with a small instrument pressed up against Barnacle Bill, scientists said it appears to contain the mineral quartz.
"This is a real surprise. We were not expecting a rock of this composition," said Hap McSween, a University of Tennessee specialist in meteorites working with the Pathfinder team.
Barnacle Bill is more earth-like than scientists had expected, suggesting that Mars' rocks were heated and reheated many times in the planet's early history. But Pathfinder scientists were reluctant to make assumptions about water or life on Mars.
Because scientists haven't had a chance to closely examine the rock's texture, McSween said it was too early to be sure whether it was andesite or a mix of other types of rocks, like granite and basalt, the most commonly found lava on Earth.
￥
The chemical analysis of Barnacle Bill also strengthens scientists' belief that 12 meteorites found on Earth and thought to come from Mars, including the famous Antarctic meteorites where some scientists think they see signs of life, are indeed Martian.
In any case, Mars seems to have undergone a process of successive melting and cooling, which is needed to form these types of rocks.

Scientists help explain universe
KU professors show it backs Big Bang Theory
By Tom Winter
Kansan staff writer
The end of the world is coming.
Shawl and his colleagues study the earth and the cosmos to try to understand our origins and fate. The study of the beginning of the universe is called cosmology.
The end of the world is coming. In about 4 1/2 billion years, said Stephen Shawl, professor of astrophysics at the University of Kansas.
"I think we are starting to have a broad understanding of how the universe works." Feldman said.
Hume Feldman, professor of physics, specializes in cosmology.
He said there were three principles of modern cosmology that helped physicists research the large-scale structure of the universe.
The first principle is the Doppler effect. The Doppler effect is the wave phenomenon that occurs when you hear an oncoming train, Feldman said. As the train approaches, you hear the high pitch of the train, and as it passes there is a noticeable change to a lower pitch.
The same thing happens with light waves. A star has a certain color from its heated elements. That color is akin to the pitch of sound. When a star has a color higher in frequency on the color spectrum, then that
"I think we are starting to have a broad understanding of how the universe works."
Numo Foldman Professor of Physics
star is approaching the earth. When the color is lower in frequency, the star is going away from the earth, Feldman said.
The phenomenon of whole galaxies moving away from us is called the red shift.
"Those galaxies, which move away from us, have changed from emitting the normal green light of a star to a red light," Feldman said.
"The scientific evidence shows that there was a big bang. It is indisputable. Everything then resulted from that." Shawl said.
The second principle of modern cosmology is the two lightest elements, hydrogen and helium, are everywhere in the universe.
This expansion pushed lightweight elements such as hydrogen and helium all across the universe.
"For a very, very short time after the big bang there was a very big expansion," Feldman said.
"When we look around, there is the same amount of hydrogen and helium everywhere we look," Feldman said. "When we look for heavier elements such as oxygen, nitrogen and silicon, we see they are concentrated around stars, especially young stars."
"When you have an explosion such as the big bang, there is light being emitted," Feldman said. "As the universe expands, the wavelength of that light becomes stretched," he said.
The final principle of modern cosmology is the presence of a microwave radiation, which measures the same in all directions.
Since every wave has a source, it should be found to be either going away from earth or going toward earth.
However, there is a constant microwave radiation all across the earth that is without direction, Feldman said. That radiation must be left from the big bang.
Although there have been many discoveries that have led to the current understanding of the universe, physicists still have much to find out.
"I think it is awfully close-minded to say we've done it all," Shawl said. "We still need to find out what the fate of the universe is, what the universe was like originally and how much of the universe is in a form that we can see."
'Little sponges' absorb nature
By Gale Garber
Kansan staff writer
From the mysteries of the deep to the far reaches of our solar system, a University of Kansas summer program for grade-school children is examining nature.
The KU Natural History Museum in Dyche Hall is offering 40 one-week summer workshops. Youths from ages 4 to 12 are attending the Summer Workshops For Young People 1997.
Ruth Genrich, director of public education at the museum, said the program was a great place for children to experience the world around them.
Barbara McConnell, Salmon, Idaho, senior and environmental science major, said getting children to learn about nature at a young age would help the environment as a whole.
Graduate students teach the workshops along with staff, teachers and
some KU students.
"Children are so susceptible to information, they are like little sponges. If they can get the sense of right and wrong about the environment early, they will be able to appreciate and understand nature and its issues better when they are older," McConnell said.
The workshops include geology, astronomy, botany, paleontology, ecology and zoology.
Workshops are held in five campus classrooms. The children also take one or two field trips, depending on their ages and the workshop in which they are enrolled.
Field trips include the going to the Topeka Zoo to study animals and the rain forest; Mask-Snorkel-Fin Inc., for a scuba-diving demonstration; and the Baker Wetlands, to study frogs, birds and plant life.
"The Wetlands have been a great place to take the children." Gemprich
said. "The last four years, it has been in such good condition. The kids get to see the wildlife in the original habitats."
Karen Jackson, co-owner of Mask-Snorkel-Fin, said she had demonstrated scuba diving and the gear at Robinson Center's pool in the past, but because of the construction on the pool, this summer's demonstration will be at Mask-Snorkel-Fin's demonstration tank at 1301 E.25h St.
"This will be the first year at our facility," Jackson said.
The workshops aim to keep the children's interest from year to year.
She became involved in demonstrating and teaching children the scuba gear and how it is used, 12 years ago with her son.
"The kids are not allowed to take more than two workshops each year. This keeps their interest up and makes the workshops special to them," Genrich said.
CORRECTION
In "Radio station requesting more power, bigger area" in the June 25 issue of the *Kansan*, it was reported that KJHK ran on 300 watts of power. The correct wattage is 100 watts.
It also was reported that KJHK was allocated $55,000 by Student Senate. The actual amount is $15,000 a year, which has to be requested each year.

Alternatives to dissection considered for biology
Ethics policy would let students choose
By Tamara Millor
Kansan staff writer
KU student senators are researching a policy that may allow students to avoid dissection in some biology classes.
If the policy is implemented, refusal to dissect a frog or a worm in low-level biology classes would not threaten a student's grade.
"I don't think a freshman in Biology 104 or 105 should be required to participate in dissection," said Mike Walden, Leawood senior and Senate vice president.
Walden ran for Senate as part of the Unite coalition, along with Scott Sullivan, Leawood senior and Senate president. Part of the coalition's platform was the ethical-choice policy.
Sullivan said that before he began his campaign, students told him they wanted to learn from dissection without violating their own ethics. Their reasons ranged from religious dilemmas to animal rights.
Dean Stetier, director of undergraduate biology studies, said the department's policy tried to accommodate students who had problems with dissection. However, the accommodations are at the discretion of the instructor and depend on the reasons for a student's refusal.
Students who refuse to dissect because of religious or ethical
As in
everything,you have to make life choices based on
the path you take."
Scott Sullivan Leawood senior and Senate President
beliefs often are given alternative exercises. Students who are uncomfortable with dissection are given the opportunity to watch for the first time, but then are usually willing to participate in a dissection, Stetler said.
Walden said a task force would be created in the fall to research the possibility of an ethical-choice policy at the University. The panel would include members from Environs, animal-rights groups and supportive faculty members.
He said he was researching other universities with similar policies.
"We didn't just come up with this on our own," he said.
Stetler said he was apprehensive about a new policy.
"I don't want to sacrifice curriculum for a policy," he said. "I think it's important that we will try to accommodate, but we can't state
that we will accommodate."
that we will accommodate." Sullivan said he had contacted environmental groups and animal-rights groups for his research. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sent the senate a sample ethical-choice policy that would offer students an alternative to participating in dissection. One alternative would be a computerized vivisection process that would allow students to do a virtual dissection on a computer. This is the most expensive alternative because it would require the University to purchase the computer program, Sullivan said.
Other alternatives include allowing students to view microscopic slides of a dissection or to watch a dissection in class without participating. These alternatives would be cheapest. Sullivan said.
He said that because an ethicalchoice policy would change University codes, it would be a University governance issue, not a student issue. The policy would have to be approved by the University Council before it could be implemented.
Senate members and University officials agree that only the general biology classes should be considered for an ethical- choice policy.
Anyone in advanced classes involving dissection will be expected to dissect. Sullivan said that biology majors and pre-med students would not be able to avoid dissection.
"As in everything, you have to make life choices based on the path you take," Sullivan said.
New bookstore will get old look
Dana Brooks
Kansan staff writer
The fight between Lawrence preservationists and developers bringing in the new Borders Bookstore has left the east side of the 700 block of New Hampshire Street with just a few walls standing.
Almost everything in the block has been leveled in preparation for the new store. But the Lawrence Preservation Alliance fought to save the old livery stable on the corner of Seventh and New Hampshire. Although the alliance wanted to save the entire building, two walls are all that remain after a compromise with the city.
"This is Disneyland preservation," said K.T. Walsh, vice president of the alliance and head of the East Lawrence Historical Project. "We're just preserving the facade of history. If you pluck the building out of its original setting, you're losing the context of downtown."
Wint Winter, Lawrence attorney and representative of Winter Inc., said it was an acceptable compromise to preserve the facade of the building.
The building is in a solid historical area, Walsh said. To destroy it would cut all ties the area has to downtown Lawrence.
"Borders Bookstore will bring in the best of the new and keep the best of the old," Winter said.
Jeff White, a project manager at Rau Construction of Overland Park, said the remaining walls would be part of the exterior of the new bookstore.
Rau Construction is the general contractor for the Borders project. The company is restoring the exterior of the walls right now, White said. The north and west walls must be preserved because they are historical, Winter said. The compromise is partly the result of an ordinance making it illegal to tear down or construct within 500 feet of a building that is under a state and local historical register.
The proximity of The Eldridge Hotel, 701 Massachusetts St., makes the location subject to the ordinance.
The building has existed since the late 1800's, Walsh said. Originally, it housed a livery stable where horses were boarded and horse equipment was sold.
He said the building also served as a parking garage for the Eldridge Hotel, allowing people to leave their carriages there and be transported to the hotel.
"It's a unique building," said Carol Francis, president of the Lawrence Preservation Alliance. "Borders discarded that. I believe the word 'progress' is sometimes a misnomer."
Local preservationists said the 500-foot rule was not the only reason that the two walls should be preserved.

Abstinence education program not cure for teen pregnancy problem
Virgin may not be a dirty word, as billboards in Maryland say, but to expect teens to abstain from sexual intercourse as a solution to teen pregnancy seems a bit daft.
This is the goal of part of the welfare law passed by Congress last year, which will provide $250 million in abstinence education grants to states. The stipulation: For every $4 in federal money received, states must match it with $3 of their own. This means nearly $440 million could be spent in the next five years not educating teens about safe sex, but simply no sex.
It's not that abstinence is an ineffective solution; on the contrary, if all teenagers practiced it, abstinence would be the perfect solution to the teen pregnancy problem.
But, let's face facts. Teens are going to have sex. According to a 1995 ten survey cited in a Laurence Journal-World article on Sunday, 66 percent of teens have lost their virginity before graduating from high school. An abstinence education program may slightly reduce these numbers, but there is one thing over which education simply cannot win: hormones.
Teens are more likely to have sex than not,are better off having safe sex education
When teens are in their developmental years, having strong sexual urges and exploring their sexuality with their partners, few may stop to think about what they learned during their abstinence education class. They may still be aware of risks such as pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, but
the money would be better spent on teaching these risks, stressing birth control and protection, rather than preaching abstinence.
Many states have accepted the federal money, but luckily, most intend to continue their other sexual education programs, such as in rural Arivaca, Ariz. There, teens are told where they can get birth control, because the nearest city is an hour's drive away.
Many states also have after-school programs to boost self-esteem and keep teen girls from thinking that they need a baby to give them purpose in life. Although the Federal government may have good intentions, the states know the truth of the matter.
In the heat of the moment, a teen is better off with a condom in his pocket than the knowledge of the "benefits" of abstinence in his head.

Pathfinder makes "friends" on Mars
So, we now have friends on Mars.
It was another Independence Day in the remaking as the Pathfinder finally docked on Mars on July 4, 1997; a whole planet waiting and wondering what it may stumble upon in its findings.
Thankfully, it did not stumble during its landing. As crash pillows or giant air bags cushioned its landing, the $200 million get-to-know-you well gift from Earth already was doing what good neighbors do — making friends.
Never mind the fact that they are only rocks. Barnacle Bill, Yogi and Casper are household names now. And as the rover "shook" hands with Barnacle Bill and proceeded to "sniff" it later, a milestone had been reached in space science. We were finally on Mars.
Probe opens up possibilities of space exploration colonization and life
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration should get a thumbsup for not only launching and homing a relatively inexpensive operation without glitches but doing a successful public relations exercise aimed at making space science accessible to the people.
CNN reported that NASA's Pathfinder web page had seen a record 100 million "hits", or internet user log-ons, since July 4, forcing it to set up 20 mirror "pages" around the world to beef up its transmission network.
A little popularity does not hurt, especially in these days of Republican financial conservatism when big bucks are allotted with tight smiles and tighter expectations.
The vast, open intriguing backyards of a space scientist's work and imagination slowly are becoming the world of the people as well.
As ordinary people debate about the possibility of life, or living on, Mars, a colony of future space dwellers already is being conditioned.
Science is about opening the mind to the immeasurable possibilities that can be unleashed once the seeming impossibilities are destroyed.
It is only the beginning now

Successful crop, love thrive when cut back
Once alfalfa successfully is planted, it must grow continually. Relationships that stop growing, likewise, also won't be healthy or productive. When a field of alfalfa is established, it can weather a storm or a drought, just like a strong relationship can handle disagreements — or summertime separations.
But the thing that struck me most about the alfalfa as I sat there in a stranger's field in almost absolute darkness is that cutting it back makes it stronger. When the new alfalfa crop is cut back, the roots develop since the stalk no longer requires as many nutrients. Then, after a good rain, the field starts to regenerate, producing the fragrant fields so familiar to Kansans. The more alfalfa is cut back, the better it grows, the healthier it becomes. I realized that being apart from Laura was simply the first cutting of our relationship. It was the time for our roots to grow, a time for the plant to recharge. Sitting in the middle of the hayfield, I knew that this break was a good thing in disguise. I thought of the past five months and was assured that the roots were strong and the plant was healthy. Even though it was temporarily cut back, soon it would start to grow again, even stronger than before.
As I drove south toward Ottawa, I was excited to breathe the unmistakable smell of freshly cut alfalfa. I rolled the windows down so the car would fill with the sweet aroma that hung in the thick, humid air.
I walked a few yards into the field and sat in the silence, the total quiet found on farms, and my mind turned to my girlfriend, Laura.
I stopped the car at a field where the farmer had left his swather. The field was neatly cut and raked into
It was unmistakable, a sure sign of summer.
neat rows. The rows would bask and cure in the sun before being baled. The sun was taking its final bow, giving a break from the heat of the day.
We've been dating for about five months. She has gone to Maine for the summer to be a camp counselor. It's a good summer job for her, and Maine is a pleasant place. But we both have been a little taken with how much we miss each other. No matter how good with words you may be, a letter just can't replace a few minutes with someone you love. I sat there, both pleased by the smell and a little melancholy at her absence.
And my mind turned to the hay.
I know a little about alfalfa. It's a common crop in Kansas, especially in fertile bottom lands. It's basically a grass that farmers let grow until it heads out in millions of little purple flowers. Then they cut it back and bale it. The bales keep nicely for livestock to eat as well as being a good cash crop for farmers. A good summer with agreeable weather can yield five cuttings, often enough to feed a herd of cattle for a winter.
It grew dark. The bugs left me alone with my thoughts.
Summer walk through alfalfa field prompts thoughts of girlfriend
I thought about how a good stand of alfalfa is a lot like a healthy relationship. Alfalfa is expensive to plant, and it's difficult to harvest for its seed as well. Both take time, patience and skill; both are a bit of a gamble. A new relationship is a gamble too, one that certainly takes time and patience.
I put a handful of alfalfa in my pocket.
I got back in the car and drove away.

Mars Pathfinder an historic exciting step in space age
I woke up on Friday with a feeling of anticipation.
I didn't feel this because it was the fourth of July, and I was looking forward to the oh-so-exciting Lawrence Jaycees fireworks show. Nor was I extremely excited about the prospect of unleashing my own barrage of rockets, flaming balls, and small explosives upon the world.
Don't get me wrong, I love

EAKINS
fire and destruction as much as the next American. But frankly, after 21 Independence Days, it just isn't as exciting as it used to be.
But this Fourth, there was a new element: Mars
If all went well with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Mars Pathfinder, there would be a probe on Mars that very day sending back pictures from the Martian surface for the first time since 1976. This was certainly one of the most important space-age events yet in my lifetime. I didn't intend to miss it.
As the actual probe began its descent, I waited with a knot in my stomach, hoping that this would not be another NASA failure, like the 1993 Mars Observer. I could only imagine what the engineers, planners and scientists who had spent countless hours dedicated to the Pathfinder must have been feeling.
I turned on the television and waited. Even though I had read about how the Pathfinder would land, I was still amazed to see CNN's computer simulation. The simulation showed the probe with large balloons inflated around it as the probe bounced as much as 50 feet above the Martian surface.
Finally, a signal was received. The Mars Pathfinder had successfully landed and was transmitting.
When the first pictures were broadcast from the lander, I was more amazed. True, the pictures only showed some rocks and hills, nothing too exciting. But, this was Mars we were looking at! A planet about 120 million miles away at the time, one little point in the vast emptiness of our solar system and the galaxy. Yet we were able, for the first time since the Viking missions of the '70s, to land a probe on Mars and keep it working. If all went well, the Sojourner rover also would be deployed as the first autonomous rover ever to land on another planet.
"Iincredible!" I thought. "We're on Mars!"
Considering all of this, it is not surprising that I was dismayed to hear some friends complain Friday night about the dull and boring view transmitted from Mars. I was flabbergasted.
What did dissatisfied viewers expect to see when the video footage was released? A few Martians standing around, waving at the camera?
UFO abductees? Elvis?
People unhappy with the view of Mars should note the significance of the probe's mission
Although the folks in Roswell, N.M., may have expected some of these possibilities, most people did not.
Rover scientist Henry Moore called the Pathfinder "the robotic equivalent of Neil Armstrong on Mars."
I doubt that too many people on that fateful day in 1969 were complaining about the scenery.
This mission signifies a new step in American, and human, science, exploration and expansion. We've made it to the moon. Now we're looking to Mars. NASA scientists intend to put humans on Mars by 2012, following what they call a veritable "feet" of probes, of which Pathfinder is the first.
The mass of knowledge that scientists will be able to accumulate from this mission, such as geological history, composition and evidence of life, is just the tip of the iceberg. Just being on Mars at all has many philosophical and historical implications.
Named after the Greek god of war, the planet has been one of the dominating elements of the skies since humans and their ancestors first achieved self-awareness. How many billions of people have looked into the sky wondering what all of these points of light were? How many stories have been told around a campfire about the origins of the stars? How many different gods have been named after the celestial bodies and their constellations?
And one distant, distinct light, differentiating itself by its red hue, shown down upon the natives of Earth.
Could any of them have guessed that we might one day glimpse the surface of it? That a machine of our own making would be wandering the surface? That one day we might set our sights on sending humans to the surface and would have a realistic chance of succeeding?
The Mars Pathfinder is an important and exciting mission, of which everyone, regardless of their opinion of the video footage, should understand the significance.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to turn on CNN and check out the newest pictures from Mars.

Diet drug may be cause of illnesses
Fen-phen users could lose weight respiratory health
The Associated Press
ROCHESTER, Minn. — A diet-drug combination known as fen-phen, which is taken by millions of Americans, can cause serious heart and lung damage, said Mayo Clinic researchers and government officials yesterday.
Mayo Clinic researchers identified 24 women who had taken fen-phen, a fenfluramine and phentermine combination, to lose weight and later developed deformed heart valves. Eight of the women also developed a potentially fatal lung disease called pulmonary hypertension, in which lung blood vessels become blocked.
The drug combination has been available since 1995, and deaths in Florida, Kentucky and Massachusetts have been attributed to heart failure linked to the diet prescription. None of the women in the Mayo Clinic study died; however, five underwent heart surgery. Doctors wrote more than 18 million re
Doctors wrote more than 18 million prescriptions for fen-nph last year.
Researchers planned to publish their findings next month in the New England Journal of Medicine, but released them early at the urging of journal editors.
The Food and Drug Administration has begun sending letters to thousands of doctors, asking them to immediately check fenphen patients and report problems.
Both drugs are available only by prescription and have been approved separately by the FDA. The agency has not approved the drug combination. Under law, doctors are free to prescribe the two drugs as chosen fit
of prescribing the two drugs as they see it. Michael Friedman, the FDA's acting com-
"The agency is not saying it is inappropriate to use fen-phen. What we're saying is patients and physicians must be
very careful."
Michael Friedman FDA acting commissioner
missioner, said five patients' valve tissue examination results strongly suggested the disorder was fen-phen related.
"The agency is not saying it is inappropriate to use fen-phen," Friedman said. "What we're saying is patients and physicians must be very careful."
Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories Inc. of Philadelphia, the sole manufacturer of fenfluramine, said the Mayo Clinic report was limited and inconclusive.
Larry Davidow, fen-phen researcher, said the risk of lung disease from fenfluramine has been suspected for several years. But he said that the potential for heart-valve trouble was new.
He said the dangers pointed out in the Mayo Clinic report should be weighed against the benefits of fen-phen.
Obesity, defined as being more than 20 percent heavier than ideal weight, causes 20 million illnesses and 300,000 deaths in the United States yearly.
Ears sensitive to injury
Chief of Staff at Watkins Health Center Special to the Kansan
Bv Randall Rock.
Summer activities can put ears at risk for injury. Precautions can minimize risks and limit short-term or permanent injury.
Applied to the outer ear, sunscreen can prevent sunburn and limit the risk of skin cancer.
A helmet can protect the head during bicycling excursions on Lawrence streets or on the trails at Clinton State Park.
The ears are at risk for blows or bites incurred during athletic activities such as boxing. Keep tempers cool and do not get into the ring with anyone.
Swimmer's ear is an inflammation of the canal leading from the outer ear to the ear drum. Repeated or prolonged exposure to water may result in retained moisture in the ear canal allowing a bacterial or fungal infection to develop. Symptoms include pain when pressure is applied along the canal or to the outer ear, discharge or odor from the ear and diminished hearing as the canal is narrowed by water, inflammation and debris.
Swimmer's ear requires medical attention. A topical medication in drop form applied to the canal is adequate often. Keeping the ear canal dry is an important part of prevention. Position your head to allow water to drain from the canal after swimming or showering. A blow dryer on low heat can help dry out the canal. Rinsing the canal with a few drops of an equal solution of white vinegar and rubbing alcohol can dislodge water droplets.
Water skiing, tubing and diving can cause water to hit the ear drum at a high speed perforating the ear drum. Symptoms include pain, sudden decrease in hearing and bleeding. Seek medical attention. Referral to a specialist may be necessary. Keep cotton swabs out of the ear.
Other summer activities such as mowing lawns, listening to music concerts or working on construction projects can expose a person to noise substantial enough to lead to hearing loss. Turn down the volume, invest in ear plugs, put distance between yourself and the noise and seek medical attention if you are concerned about your hearing.
Family physicians, internists and nurse practitioners are available at Watkins Health Center to evaluate your medical needs. Call 864-9500 for more information.

Fighting continues to rage in Cambodia's Phnom Penh
New leader's rivals executed; reprisals feared
The Associated Press
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — Coup leader Hun Sen began eliminating his opponents yesterday, sending soldiers into hotels and homes to round up rivals. One of his most vocal critics was killed while in custody.
The brutality of Hun Sen's consolidation of power raised fears about a wave of executions that would target supporters of the deposed prime minister, Prince Norodom Nararidh.
Ho Sok, a former interior minister and Hun Sen's opponent, was arrested Monday and accused of plotting against Cambodia's new leadership. An adviser to Hun Sen announced yesterday that Ho Sok
had died.
"He was arrested by the government troops, and he has died," said Gen. Khieu Sopheak, calling Ho Sok a terrorist.
Sopheak denied that Hun Sen's forces had been responsible for the death and said that Ho Sok had been killed by the people. Ho Sok was shot in the head after being arrested by Hun Sen's men.
A Western human rights worker based in Cambodia said the killing had raised concerns of reprisal slavings.
"We fear that this is the first on the list," said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Ranariddh, who slipped away to France before Saturday's coup, accused Hun Sen of ordering a manhunt for his followers.
Hun Sen's military police went door-to-door yesterday through Phnom Penh's largest hotel, hunting down and arresting opposition legislators, said American Ron Abney, who witnessed the roundup. It is not known how many were caught.

The London-based human-rights group Amnesty International urged foreign embassies to offer asylum to Ranariddh's supporters and said at least 50 supporters were in hiding or needed protection.
The fate of 13 people detained in Battambang province and 22 in Prey Veng was unknown, a representative for Amnesty said. The organization said several journalists who supported the prince were thought to be in custody.
"Let the Cambodian people solve the situation without interference from outside," he said.
Hun Sen went on national television yesterday to warn foreign countries not to get involved.
Ranardidh is scheduled to arrive today in the United States to appeal for support in Washington and at the U.N. Security Council, said Socheat Ok, an official at the Cambodian U.N. mission in New York.
While Hun Sen consolidated power in the capital, fighting raged between rival factions in the north-west.
The sound of small arms fire echoed through Angkor Thom, the 700-year-old walled city that houses the famed Angkor Wat temple, which is surrounded by moats and Buddhist statues.
It was unclear whether foreign archaeologists who had been working to restore damage from previous fighting were still at the Angkor complex when the latest battles broke out.
NATO invitations limited to three
The Associated Press
MADRID, Spain — The United States imposed its will on its 15 NATO allies yesterday, forcing the defense alliance to invite only three former communist enemies to become members — Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic.
President Clinton called it a great day.
"We bridged the chasm in history and began the journey to a new Europe and a new century," said Clinton, who adamantly had refused to consider more than three new members, fearing the measure would be defeated in the U.S. Senate.
European nations wanted to issue five invitations.
France, backed by eight other
NATO allies,

bowed to American pressure.
Romania, Slovenia and the seven other countries that had sought admission will be reconsidered at alater date.
I will not quit the fight.
"The alliance expects to extend further invitations in the coming years," said NATO Secretary-General Javier Solana at the end of a long day. "No European democratic country whose admission would
President Bill Clinton
fulfill the objectives of the (NATO) treaty will be excluded from consideration."
Clinton added that these countries were the ones that had proved their readiness to join the U.N. table.
"Poland waited so long and now the doors to full NATO membership are open. We are very satisfied and we are ready to go forward," he said.
President Aleksander Kwasniewski of Poland said he was pleased.
Slovenia's prime minister, Janez Drnousek, said he expected his country to be included in the next year or two, but his foreign minister, Zoran Thaler, was less diplomatic.
"Slovenia has not been given any good explanation why it is out," Thaler said.
The United States was worried that an enlargement of more than three countries would threaten the chances of getting approval by two-thirds of the U.S. Senate, a vote needed to ratify any change to the NATO treaty.
Parliaments of all 16 members of NATO must approve new members. Those who backed the French proposal believe that Europe's southern flank is its most volatile region and say early admission of Romania and Slovenia would have added stability. French President Jacques Chirac was stoic in defeat.
"We should look at this meeting as an evolution," he said. "It's an important step we couldn't have imagined two or three years ago."
Irish marches spark rioting

Sparked by Protestants' annual march through Catholic areas of the town of Portadown last week, the conflict showed no sign of let-
LONDONDERRY, Northern Ireland — Attackers waylaid and burned a passenger train yesterday in the third day of violence following Protestant marches in Northern Ireland. Protestants, determined to keep marching, said they saw no point in talking to Catholics determined to stop them.

"We feel they don't wish to reach an agreement," said Billy More, general secretary of the Apprentice Boys, a Protestant fraternal organization.
In Newry, 30 miles south of Belfast, masked men claiming to be Irish Republican Army members boarded a Dublin-to-Belfast train, ordered passengers out and set it on fire.
Earlier yesterday, an attacker shot and wounded a policeman on Garvaghy Road, the main thoroughfare through the Catholic enclave in the predominantly Protestant town of Portadown, about 30 miles southwest of Belfast.
Violence erupted there Sunday when police cleared the road of Catholic protesters who had hoped to block a march by the Orange Order, Northern Ireland's largest
Protestant organization. The membership of the
The march set off rotting a year ago — first by Protestants when police blocked the route, then by Catholics when police forced the march through.
The next big tests come with next weekend's marches in Belfast and Londonderry, 75 miles to the northwest. Protestants say the marches mark key historical events; critics say they accentuate Catholics' minority status.
In Londonderry, Mayor Martin
Bradley invited representatives of business, political parties, churches and residents associations to meet tomorrow to seek accord on Saturday's march.
The Bogside Residents Group — representing Catholics — accepted the mayor's invitation. But the local grand master of the Orange Order, Alan Lindsay, declined to comment on the mediation offer.
Catholic residents from the Ormeau Road in Belfast, trying to block another Orange march on Saturday, planned to meet today with Irish Foreign Minister Ray Burke.
William Hay, a member of the city council and of the Protestant hard-line Democratic Unionist Party, said the Orangemen had a right to march in Londonderry.
Burke talked yesterday with Northern Ireland Secretary Mo Wollam, the British Cabinet member responsible for the province, and stressed his government's unhappiness about the weekend decision to permit the march.
Legality of new legislature doubted
China's appointed government may not be valid
HONG KONG — The week-old government asked a court yesterday to rule on a legal challenge that claims there are no valid laws in Hong Kong until a newly elected legislature adopts them.
The case threatens to throw Hong Kong's legal system into limbo, and critics — regardless of their position on Chinese sovereignty — find it troubling. Some observers said the case ultimately might be decided in Beijing despite China's pledge to preserve the authority of Hong Kong courts.
The government asked the Court of Appeal to decide on the validity of the new non-elected legislature, which China essentially appointed pending elections next year. It also seeks a ruling on the status of laws that existed before Britain returned Hong Kong to Chinese sovereignty July 1. The hearing is scheduled for July 29.
Defense lawyers in a corruption case maintain all Hong Kong laws must be readopted after the handover. But they argue the provisional legislature doesn't have the authority to do so.
There also was a dispute brewing over proposed election rules that the government announced yesterday. Democratic Party members said the rules were intended to curb their numbers in favor of pro-China candidates.
Under the proposal — to be submitted to the provisional legislature in August — the new legislature would include seats decided by proportional representation. That means parties are allotted seats based on the percentage of votes they get.
Hong Kong lawyers have debated the legality of the provisional legislature for months, and the Bar Association argues it is illegal.
The matter could be appealed to Hong Kong's Court of Final Appeal. The only appeal beyond that is to the National People's Congress in Beijing, which created the provisional legislature and certainly would uphold its legitimacy.
Supporters say the provisional legislature is legal because it was created by the Chinese National People's Congress, which enacted the Basic Law and can interpret it.

Tossed toads pummel village after tornado
CULLIACAN, Mexico — Call it a challenge to windshield wipers: It trained toads in the town of Villa. Angel Flores.
Motorists reported the shower of toads about 11 p.m. Saturday in Mexico's Pacific Coast state of Sinaloa.
A small tornado had whirled up a cluster of toads from a nearby pond and dumped them on the town, the newspaper El Debate reported.
Killer stabs patient instead of gangster

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka — A manhired to kill a hospitalized gangster mistakenly stabbed a cancer patient to death because the patient was in the wrong bed, police said yesterday.
Vijaya Rajah, 30, died Monday, at the National Hospital in Colombo, said Lakshman Molazoda, police inspector.
He had been awaiting surgery for a brain tumor.
Police said that 22-year-old Sidath Thushara stabbed Rajah after mistaking him for Saman Nilantha, a gangster who was being treated for wounds he received in a knife fight.
During the killing, Nilantha was in an operating room, and nurses at the overcrowded hospital had temporarily moved Rajah to Nilantha's bed.
Police said the killer was arrested as he fled carrying a bloody dagger.
He told police he was hired by a gangster whose legs had been broken by Nilantha six months ago.

Senate begins inquiry into party fund-raising
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Senators opened politically-charged hearings into fund-raising abuses yesterday, with two surprises: U.S. intelligence has unmasked continuing efforts by China to influence elections, and a reluctant witness, John Huang, is making an offer that could lead to his testifying.
Outlining what he called "the story about the existence of a Chinese plan to subvert our election process," the chairman of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee said China was believed to have allocated substantial sums of money to influence the 1996 presidential election, congressional races and state elections.
Chairman Fred Thompson, R-Tenn., said the plan violated American law.
Top Democrats on the panel said they weren't ready to go as far as Thompson in his talk of efforts to subvert U.S. elections.
After months of attention on Democratic excesses in raising millions to finance President Clinton's re-election, Democrats suggested that Thompson overstated the evidence, and they demanded that abuses by
"We know in our hearts the money chase is a bipartisan problem."
Sen. Carl Levin D-Michigan
both major political parties be laid before the American people.
"We know in our hearts the money chase is a bipartisan problem," said Carl Levin, D-Mich.
Top Democrats also said they weren't ready to go as far as Thompson in alleging Chinese efforts to subvert American elections.
In another development, Huang, the Democrats' chief fund-raiser among Asian Americans, made an unexpected offer to testify after months of insisting he would do so only with a grant of immunity from prosecution.
"Having become a defenseless target for Asian basishers ... Mr. Huang feels compelled to forgo the security of his constitutional protections and to attempt honorably to acknowledge whatever mistakes he may have made over time," Ty Cobb, Huang's attorney, wrote to the committee.
Huang offered to take the stand to deny allegations that he leaked classified government information when he worked at the Commerce Department — but said he would not testify about his fund-raising activities without immunity. He raised $3.4 million for Democrats, but the party has returned nearly half of it because of suspicions about its origins.
Thompson and the committee's senior Democrat, John Glenn of Ohio, said they are uncertain whether Huang ought to be granted immunity. Thompson questioned whether Huang can be granted immunity for some crimes but not for others, such as espionage. Nonetheless, Thompson directed lawyers for the committee to negotiate with Huang's lawyer.
"In one sense this is the star witness we have been looking for," said Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn.
No one knows what dangers await Mir's cosmonauts when they open the hatch to the space station's depressurized lab.
The Associated Press
Mir's lab could pose dangers
Floating glass shards from broken bottles? Globules of blood and urine from popped vials? Toxic spills from ruined experiments and burst pipes?
The spacemen could be opening an orbital Pandora's box.
As a result, NASA is putting together a worst-case list in preparation for the repair this month. Two cosmonauts plan to put on their spacesuits, unseal the ruptured, airless lab and try to restore electrical power to the crippled space station.
The cosmonauts could rip their pressurized spacesuits on something jagged, which could be deadly, or track toxic materials into the station.
"I suspect the first thing the crew will do when they open that hat," said NASA shuttle-Mir program manager Frank Culbertson, "is shine a light in and see if there are any green monsters in there, and shut it if there are."
Science experiments inside the lab have been exposed
to the frigid vacuum of space since an out-of-control cargo slammed into Mir on June 25 and punched a hole in the aluminum hull. Crewmen had to scrumble to shut the lab hatch before the station lost pressure.
"It could well be that it looks like a tomb, a dark and/or orderly tomb," said James Oberg, an expert in Russian space affairs. "Or it could look like an after-dinner scene from *hurricane Park*.
The snowflakes could have been ammonia or silicone seeping from the radiator or something leaking from the interior of the lab, which is called Spektr, Culbertson said Monday.
A leak has heightened concern. Last week, American astronaut Michael Foale and his crew mates heard a series of thumps and saw white flakes drifting into space near the lab's dented radiator.
The dangers worry the space station's overseers and NASA, which wants to make sure there is no danger to the shuttle Atlantis when it arrives in September to pick up Foale.
The crewmen cannot peek into Spektr because the hatch is windowless. They cannot drill a hole and drop in a scope because precious air would leak out.

Trial resumes with so-called Cosby daughter
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Lawyers defending the woman who claims to be Bill Cosby's out-of-wedlock daughter could not convince jurors she had legal right to demand millions of Cosby's dollars, a judge ruled yesterday.
said Autumn Jackson's claim-of-right defense, which claims that Jackson was entitled to Cosby's money, was not a defense that would stand against a charge of extortion. Lawyers selected a panel of six men and six women to hear the trial, which will resume today with opening statements.

Research makes avoiding ticks easier
Study shows hikers can avoid the bugs
By Graham Johnson Kansan staff writer
Throw away those cans of smelly tick repellent? Maybe.
A KU professor's research on ticks could make it possible to know exactly where ticks are likely to hide along outdoor trails, making anti-tick sprays at least optional.
J. Gregory Burg, assistant director of undergraduate biology, recently completed research on the common American Dog tick and found that ticks tend to gather in clumps.
"I'm drawing some very fundamental conclusions about the life cycle and place distribution of the American Dog tick." Burg said.
He found that ticks tended to stay together in groups along trails and didn't change their positions very
much or very quickly.
Burg said his findings would make it possible to erect a sign declaring a tick crossing zone.
"Then you could walk on one side of a trail or check your pants legs at the end," Burg said.
Burg began his research six years ago in Kentucky. He sampled the number of American Dog ticks along 100 meters of a nature trail and observed their behavior. When he analyzed the data, he found that ticks tended to be grouped together at intermittent points along the trail. He also found that there were certain periods of the year when ticks were most likely to attach themselves to animals.
Burg said that American Dog ticks were most active in late April and early July.
Though each species of tick differs from the others, Burg said he thought his results on American Dog ticks applied to ticks in general.
In humans, ticks are known to
cause Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.
According to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, there were 40 cases of Lyme disease in Kansas in 1996. Symptoms include ring-shaped rashes followed by fever, fatigue, stiffness and headaches. Left untreated, Lyme disease may lead to meningitis and heart problems.
The KDHE reported only three cases of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever in Kansas in 1996.
Don Mock, entomologist at Kansas State University, said that while Lyme disease was more common, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever was a more serious illness.
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever symptoms include rashes, fatigue, muscle and head aches, fever and chills. If left untreated, the disease can be fatal, he said.
Most ticks, however, are not harmful to humans and animals, Burg said.
"Less than 1 percent of the tick population in Kansas carries a disease," Burg said.
DeeAnn DeRoin, a physician at Watkins Health Center, said that the center has had only occasional diagnoses of Lyme disease, and she couldn't remember coming across Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.
When Watkins does come across a case of Lyme disease, DeRoin said patients receive antibiotics and the ticks are plucked off.
According to Burg, the best way to remove a tick is to grab the head only with a pair of tweezers and pull gently.
DeRoin said she had many patients come in to have ticks removed and checked out. She said that the level of public awareness about the risks of tick bites surprised her.
"I wish there was as much public awareness about sexually transmitted diseases as there is about tick risks," DeRoin said.

Tracking animal species with another type of tag
KU scientists count license plates rethink inventory
By Crystal Honores Kansan staff writer
These scientists are developing methods to estimate how many species are in restricted areas.
KU researchers are doing the math on plants and animal inventories by counting license plates. Their calculations, they hope, will help them make more informed conservation decisions.
Robert Anderson, graduate student in systematics and ecology, Townsend Peterson, assistant professor of systematics and ecology and curator of birds at the Natural History Museum; and Norman Slade, professor and curator at the Natural History Museum are combining their research to produce more efficient and scientific inventories of species.
In a scientific context, inventory is a list of species in a measured-off area and is counted by researchers during field expeditions. However, Peterson said many field expeditions yield incomplete data because it is difficult to determine when to stop counting.
Inventories are supposed to be near completion when the researchers stop discovering new species. But such tenacity can be a problem. If researchers remain at a site until they stop counting new species, the trip can become long and expensive.
Peterson, for example, made an inventory of birds in Brazil. After three months he was still adding more species to his list.
Anderson said that biodiversity is a priority in many important conservation and land management decisions, but these decisions cannot wait for inventories of all species to be complete.
"Conservation decisions need to be made now." Anderson said.
So Peterson, along with Slade, wants to make the process of scientific inventory more scientific.
To develop and test counting methods, Slade and Peterson decided against more exotic locations and stayed in Lawrence. Instead of counting animal species, the researchers counted automobiles' license plates. They recorded the number of plates from various states appearing in Lawrence and compared that data to 50, the number of states.
These results gave them an idea on how close researchers may get to the truth in their mission to find all species.
From their license-plate findings, they developed formulas to estimate how many species could be left to discover.
Anderson will begin testing the method this August in Costa Rica. He said he planned to stay in the field until he stopped discovering new species.
The completeness of the inventory, the scientists think, should compare to Peterson and Slade's mathematical model.
"Rob will be the first to do a really thorough test of this methodology." Peterson said.
Anderson will do an inventory of small mammals, including mice, rats, shrews and marsupials in Guanacaste Conservation Area, Costa Rica. The area encompasses
We are causing the biggest pulse of extinction since the
dinosaur."
Townsend Peterson Assistant Professor of systematics and ecology and curator of birds at the NaturalHistory Museum
three diverse ecosystems: a dry forest, a wet forest and a mountain forest.
Anderson will catch animals, record their species and release a large portion of them. Some will be collected as voucher specimens to verify identifications.
Anderson's preliminary work will be supported by a $400 Natural History Museum award, a $200 grant from the department of systematics and ecology a $600 award from the Center of Latin American Studies' Tinker Foundation.
Many species of plants and animals may be more important than people realize. For example, Peterson said they could become key sources of medicines.
However, he said he considered that reasoning an easy argument.
"Let's leave practical and economic arguments behind," Peterson said. "We are causing the biggest pulse of extinction since the dinosaurs. Species are going extinct at a terrifying rate and we're in a race to document what's on the earth before it's gone or unstudiable."
Volunteers count fish coast to coast
The Associated Press
ANACAPA ISLAND, Calif. — Carrying waterproof slates and pencils like underwater stock clerks, ocean enthusiasts are taking an inventory of the deep.
Their job is to spot as many fish as possible and record their type and number.
The event is the Great American Fish Count, a two-week, coast-to-coast event in which volunteer divers and snorkelers document fish diversity and population trends.
"You have to assess the fish populations and know how they are moving to understand them. The end result is better management. Right now, we're doing a poor job worldwide," said Jean-Michel Cousteau, son of the underwater explorer Jacques Cousteau.
For the past four years, the count has been conducted off the coast of California only. This year, it is being expanded nationwide for the first time. Other study sites include protected waters in the Gulf of Mexico and the Florida Keys.
On Monday, volunteers led by Cousteau maneuvered through giant stalks of gold kelp to observe fish swimming in federally protected waters off the coast of Southern California.
Before plunging into the water, Cousteau stood on the deck of the boat and asked the 50 participants to join him in a moment of silence in memory of his father, who died June 25. He bowed his head and closed his eyes.
"I dedicate this dive to my dear, dear
wonderful father," Cousteau said. "I think we owe him for having opened this ocean world to us."
Cousteau, who lives in Santa Barbara, flew back from Paris, where his father died, to take part in the fish count.
But how were divers to know they weren't counting the same fish twice?
"As you move around, the likelihood of seeing the same fish will decrease. If everyone saw 10 black sea bass, we can say that's a fact with a high degree of certainty," said Ed Cassano, manager of the Channel Island National Marine Sanctuary, which covers 1,252 square nautical miles.
The count from July 1-14 is a joint effort of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and three nonprofit environmental organizations.
Event founder, Gary Davis, a scientist with the Channel Islands National Park Service, said that by using volunteers, organizers hope to spread the word about declining fish populations so that the public will get fired up about protecting them the same way they do for forests and deserts.
The ocean environment, Davis said, suffers from being out of sight and out of mind.
Claire Johnson, a 24-year-old volunteer from Santa Barbara, emerged from the water with a new appreciation for the deep.

Doctors treat rural patients via telemedicine
Interactive plan reaches 22 towns
By Kirsten Havner
Kansan staff writer
Charles Zaylor, a psychiatrist at the University of Kansas Medical Center, consults with his patients regularly. Zaylor and his patients are face-to-face, but his patients are in Pitsburg, Kan., and Zaylor is in his office in Kansas City, Kan.
Zaylor treats his patients in Pittsburg through an interactive television monitor.
This scene is not from a science fiction movie. The technology Zaylor uses is called telemedicine. In Kansas, the program was launched in 1991 and now is the fourth most active telemedicine program in the United States.
The only difference between a
telemedicine consultation and a regular consultation is cameras and television screens at both sites.
Through the use of telecommunications, patients at 22 rural sites in Kansas have access to specialists at the Med Center without having to drive hundreds of miles, said Pam Whitten, director of telemedicine services.
A high resolution color camera allows specialists to perform visual examinations, and a specially adapted electronic stethoscope sends breath and cardiac sounds across the network. The specialist can hear and see the patient while an on-site practitioner follows the specialist's instructions and performs a physical examination.
"The patients would rather see the specialist in person, but people in rural Kansas don't have that luxury without hours of driving," Whiten said. "Telemedicine does not want to replace physicians, but it is a good
What I like about telemedicine is that it reaches out to all areas of Kansas."

substitute for rural areas where there is little access to the specialist."
The program's main objective is to maintain health care in rural Kansas, Whitten said. The money stays in rural hospitals and in the towns.
Rural areas historically have had a difficult time keeping physicians and attracting specialists. Through telemedicine, rural areas can access the technology and specialists available at the Med Center, Whiten said.
She said getting a telemedicine appointment was easy. If a rural physician wants a second opinion, the physician contacts an appointments hot line.
Med Center specialists can request tests be performed and information be sent to the Med Center before the consultation. With help from an onsite practitioner, the specialist performs the examination.
The focus of the program is service first and technology second, Whiten said.
"What I like most about telemedicine is that it reaches out to all areas of Kansas. I can treat people all over the state without leaving the Med Center, all in one day."
Through the technology of telemedicine, Charles Zaylor, psychiatrist for the University of Kansas Medical Center, holds a consultation with a patient in Pittsburg, Kan., just one of the 22 sites currently active across the state.

Tyson faces possible lifetime ban
LAS VEGAS — Mike Tyson's boxing license could be revoked, never to be returned, at a penalty hearing today for biting Evander Hobfield's ears.
The Associated Press
Tyson might walk away from the hearing with no boxing license and no idea when
he will be allowed to fight again, if Nevada boxing officials follow a recommendation from prosecutors.
Conditions in Nevada law and the desires of boxing regulator may mean Tyson's license will be permanently revoked, instead of simply being suspended by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
Mike Tvsan
William Dixon
State Athletic Commission.
Tyson is expected to personally plead for his boxing career.
"I only ask that this not be a lifetime ban," he said last week.
If his boxing license is revoked, Tyson would be able to resapply after one year. If his application is denied, he could apply once a year until a license is granted.
"The license will be gone forever, never to return. The only way Mr.Tyson can get it back is to reapply every year..."
Jane Baskin
Deputy attorney general prosecuting Tyron
There would be no guarantee that Tyson's reapplication would ever be accepted.
"The license will be gone forever, never to return," said Joe Rolston, deputy attorney general who is prosecuting Tyson. "The only way Mr. Tyson can get it back is to reapply every year, and the commission will have to decide at that point."
Other states would be required by new federal law to honor Nevada's revocation.
James Nave, a commission member, said it was a decision the commissioners would look inside themselves to make.
"It's a very important decision," Nave said. "Suspension is suspension. Revocation is permanent."
The commission has two options for Tyson's punishment.
It could suspend him for up to five years and fine him a maximum of $250,000.
Or instead, it could revoke his boxing license, a penalty which could include a maximum fine of $3 million.
The commission's legal adviser, Donald Haight, said Tyson's money was a factor in the decision.
"I don't think a suspension is a viable option because of the difference in the amount of money the commission can fine Mr. Tyson, Haight said. "I think most commissioners feel a $250,000 fine is really a mere pittance when you're looking at a $30 million burse."
Hollyfield, now touring in South Africa, said earlier that a year's suspension from boxing would not be enough to compensate for the bites Tyson inflicted on him.
"Most boxes only fight one time a year."
Holyfield said. "He probably needs a year off to get himself better anyway. He probably needs the rest. The penalty is probably going to have to be a little more extensive than that."
BOXING
Tyson has already admitted to biting Holfyld's ears during their June 28 World Boxing Association heavyweight title fight.
Commission members limited television coverage of the hearing to a single pool feed and issued media credentials in an effort to control the proceedings.
The five commissioners have been tight-lipped about their intentions, saying they will wait to hear from Tyson and his attorneys before deciding what to do.
Public opinion is still running against Tyson.
It is possible that if Tyson's license were revoked, he could still fight overseas while reapplying for his license in the United States. However, his probation terms could prohibit him from leaving the country.
Gene explains brain damage in boxers
The athletic commission said that a heavy flow of letters and faxes were calling for stiff penalties for the former champion by a 3 to 1 margin.
Some fighters may be prone to head injury
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — A gene linked to Alzheimer's disease might also explain why some boxers sustain permanent brain damage
and others can take blows to the head for years without serious effects, medical researchers said.
The finding, described as preliminary, raises questions of whether athletes should be screened before being allowed to box, the researchers said.
Previous studies have shown head injuries increase the risk of Alzhelmer's disease, especially in carriers of the suspect gene, which is called APOE-4.
The gene is present in about 20 percent of the population.
The findings have extraordinary effects on the regulation of health and safety in boxing and other high-risk sports, wrote the journal authors, led
A study in today's Journal of the American Medical Association suggests that boxers who inherit APOE-4 are predisposed to developing chronic traumatic brain injury, a disorder characterized by memory loss and reduced mental capacity.
by Barry Jordan, a neurologist who did the research while at Cornell University.
He is now at Charles J. Drew University of Medicine in Los Angeles.
The presence of APOE-4 would not necessarily prevent a boxer from participating, but it could be an indication to minimize or more strictly limit exposure to the sport, the researchers said.
Jordan's findings first were presented in May at a conference on boxing medicine in Aruba and then were reported by The Associated Press.
Jordan, an adviser to the Association of Boxing Commissions, and his colleagues performed tests on 30 professional boxers in the New York area.
They also did neurologic tests to determine the extent of brain injury.
They found that three fighters with severe chronic traumatic brain injury were all carriers of the gene.

Zabel of Germany won the stage, and Mario Cipollini of Italy held the lead and the yellow jersey by finishing 25th for the day.
The spill came with almost six rules left in the 139-mile race from Vire to Plumelec.
Rontinger was fourth in the overall standings and was making a surprising showing in the tour.
"The road sometimes was too narrow." Cipollini said. "It's difficult to fall."

he marked by a long break-away by four riders. France's Francois Simon left the other three riders late in the stage, building a one-minute gap with 10.5 miles left. But he was caught with 3.2 miles to go.
The 36-year-old cyclist, one of the top riders in the early 1990s, has faded in the last two years. He was second in the 1993 Tour de France behind Miguel Indurain. He won the Tour of Spain three times and the Tour of Italy once. He finished 10th in last year's

Professional fencing may be dual-edge sword
Receiving money for play could invalidate amateur's Olympic-competing rights
The Associated Press
MECHANICVILLE, N.Y. — Women fencing against men. Multi-colored, logo-cluttered uniforms. Lights, cameras, action! Welcome to the Professional Fencing League.
Well, almost.
The PFL plays host to its first tournament next year, but there's no television coverage, few sponsors and just a hint of glitz. Prize money isn't expected to top more than a few thousand dollars.
Still, about 150 fencers, including nationally-ranked amateurs and at least one American Olympian, have signed on with the new league, breaking ranks with the U.S. Fencing Association, the governing body of amateur fencing in the United States. Twelve PFL tournaments are scheduled for 1998.
The league has been in development for two years. But for all the planning, its money-making chances are still untested, and the league can't ensure that professional fencers will retain their Olympic eligibility.
Professional fencing is the brainchild of Alan Blakeborough, who runs the enterprise from his fencing academy, located about 150 miles north of New York City.
Since the PFL doesn't need USFSA sanction, Blakeborough has taken a few liberties with some of the sport's traditions. White fencing uniforms are out. Colors, designs, artwork
FENCING
and especially corporate logos are in.
Also, men and women will go blade-toblade in the PFL, perhaps for the first time in any professional sport.
"You want to talk about battle of the seas? It doesn't get any better than this," Blakeborough said.
But the rules of the sport itself will be maintained.
"We aren't going to make people swing from chandeliers. Nobody's going to be jumping over tables," he said. "This won't be the World Wrestling Federation."
Perhaps more importantly, fencers could make a few bucks in a sport that has often drained their wallets even as they increased their international standing.
"Quite frankly, to really fence at a high amateur level, you need a ridiculous amount of money," said Justin Meehan, a highly-ranked fencer from Louis Island.
Professional fencing will have an uphill battle to win any substantial commercial backing, according to Jim Andrews of IEG, a Chicago-based company that tracks sports sponsorship.
"You're asking the company to get involved in something that has no track record," Andrews said. "Fencing is a niche sport. This isn't a new basketball league, where it's a known quantity. You're asking sponsors to take kind of a double risk."
Fencers may take a risk as well. As the rules stand now, accepting money would prevent a fencer from earning Olympic gold.

Cuban track star seeking asylum in United States
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Cuban hurdler Jose Perez has requested asylum in the United States, 10 days after leaving his team during a track championship in Puerto Rico, his lawyer said yesterday.
Perez, 28, won a bronze medal in the 400-meter hurdles at the Central America and Caribbean Championships June 27 — then disappeared from his beach-front hotel.
"I've been planning this for years," Perez said in a telephone interview from a home where he was staying with a Cuban immigrant family. "Life in Cuba is not life."
He said he thought Perez had a 90 percent chance of winning asylum, despite new immigration laws that make it more difficult for illegal immigrants to remain in the United States.
Perez's lawyer, Sergio Ramos, said he submitted the asylum request Thursday to the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service. He said he didn't expect a ruling for at least three months.
If rejected, Perez could appeal to an immigration judge in Puerto Rico, Ramos said.
"If he's forced to return to Cuba, at the very least, his athletic career would be ruined, and he would never be allowed to succeed in anything else," Ramos said.
Perez said he feared worse.
"They'd throw me in jail," he said.
"I've made them look bad."
Boston's Cordero back on team after counseling
CLEVELAND — The Boston Red Sox have stopped trying to trade Wil Cordero, and he's welcome to rejoin the team.
Cordero, who was arrested last month on a charge of assaulting his wife, is expected back with the Red Sox tomorrow night when they begin a series against Toronto at Fenway Park. He has not played since June 25 when he was suspended by Boston.
"We put him on waivers and teams asked about him, but we're not trying to trade him. He's a great player," chief executive officer John Harrington said yesterday.
Last week Cordero agreed to undergo counseling.
"With that taken care of, I have no problem having him on the team," Harrington said. "That's what delayed the negotiations. I was concerned some people weren't taking counseling as seriously as I was."
Cordero, 25, was arrested June 11 after a fight with his wife, Ana, which left her with a bloody nose. Boston kept him out of the lineup for eight days before allowing him to begin playing again.
The following day, the Red Sox learned that a previous wife had accused him of physical abuse, and they suspended him. Under the deal negotiated by the union and the PRC, the Red Sox agreed to reinstate Cordero following the All-Star break if the counselors gave their approval.
Cordero, an outfielder, is hitting .300 this season with 11 home runs and 41 RBIs in 280 at-bats.

American League wins
Alomar earns MVP honors
The Associated Press
CLEVELAND — The hit did not move Sandy Alomar any closer to Joe DiMaggio. Instead, it won the game for the American League and restored some All-Star pride for Cleveland catchers.
While National League hitters did little, Alomar the two-run homer in the seventh inning gave the AL a 3-1 win last night, ending its three-game losing streak.
Alomar, who brought a 30-game hitting streak into the All-Star game, made the most of his only at-bat, earning himself the MVP award. The sellout crowd of 44,916 gave Alomar, who is just
over halfway to DiMaggio's record hitting streak, a rousing ovation after his home run, which was enough to make him the first player to win the All-Star MVP award at his home ballpark.
Alomar is the only player to homer in an All-Star game played in his hometown since Hank Aaron in Atlanta in 1972.
The AL cut its deficit in the series to 40-27-1.

players on the NL team, in the seventh inning.
Before Lopez connected, the NL team had been held to one hit, which was a single by Jeff Blauser off Roger Clemens in the third inning.
The fans got to see major rivalry. Walker, who leads the majors in batting at .398 and the NL with
25 homers, made his much-anticipated lefty vs. lefty match up with Johnson, baseball's most powerful pitcher.
Johnson threw the first pitch over Walker's head. Walker,
laughing, turned his helmet around, moved to the opposite batter's box and took a pitch right-handed for a ball.
Walker then went back to batting left-handed and drew a walk.
This was the first year that fans elected a designated hitter to the All-Star team, and they made a smart choice in Martinez.
Martinez, batting .342 with 16 home runs for Seattle.
The NL blew its first chance in the fourth. With runners on first and third and one out, Piazza tried to advance on Cone's pitch in the dirt. Texas catcher Ivan Rodriguez made a quick recovery — throwing away the mask that contained a miniature Fox TV camera — and trapped Piazza in a rundown.
After 102 contests, Lobo knows losing
Win streak started in 1994-95 season
The Associated Press
PHOENIX — Even in individual sports, few athletes have had longer winning streaks than Rebecca Lobo.
She played in 102 consecutive games without a loss. Then came Monday night when
her New York Liberty were beaten 69-50 by the Phoenix Mercury of the WNBA.
"She's a winner," said Nancy Lieberman-Cline of the Mercury. "I mean, Magic Johnson won a championship in high school, won one at Michigan State and won championships in the NBA.
BASKETBALL
"But to do what she's done over the last three to four years at that level and not lose ... show me somebody else who's done that."
streak."
In a losing locker room for the first time in three years, Lobo, a consummate team player, did not want to talk about her streak.
"It just feels awful to lose, streak or no streak," she said. "We wanted to be 8-0. My streak never crossed my mind until you guys started mentioning it. I wasn't worried about it. Right now, all I want to do is start another
Lobo's junior season at Connecticut ended with a loss to North Carolina in an NCAA regional final on March 26, 1994. Lobo's streak started with Connecticut's first game the next fall.
By the time the season ended, Lobo and the Huskies were 35-0 and national champions. She then played on the U.S. national team that won 52 consecutive games. She
won eight more in the Olympics and led the Liberty to a 7-0 start.
On Monday night, Lobo, a 6-foot-4 forward-center, missed seven of 11 shots, including three attempts from 3-point range, and finished with eight points. She had five rebounds after pulling down 35 in the
four previous games.
Lobo did not go to the free throw line in a game in which 64 foul shots were attempted. She was so frustrated by the tripping and foelling she picked up a technical foul early in the second half.
She declined to comment on the officiating, saying any criticism would increase the fine for her technical.
"I said a curse word, and I deserved to get it," she said. "I lost my composure, and that was wrong."
Football rules on spring play to be revised
The Associated Press
OVERLAND PARK — Hoping to reduce injuries, the NCAA plans to revise its rules for spring football practice.
The proposed changes, which apply to Division I and II schools, are expected to be approved and take effect next spring.
The NCAA said yesterday that a study showed the risk of injury was two to three times higher during spring practice than during fall practice.
Three days of no-contact practices, with helmets only, including the first two days of practice.
Four days of contact practices, full pads optional, with no tackling.
Eight days of contact practices, with full pads, with tackling. No more than three of the eight tackling practices, including a spring game, can be devoted entirely to 11-on-11 scrimmages.
Current rules allow 15 days of spring practice, of which 10 are designated for contact in full pads and five as no-contact in pads. Schools are allowed to determine how no-contact sessions are handled.
The proposed changes were developed by an NCAA committee, the American Football Coaches Association and the Collegiate Commissioners Association.
Royals consider move to national league
As many as 14 teams could change divisions and leagues next year under the most radical of the plans discussed yesterday by baseball's realignment committee.
"The major objective is to put teams together geographically so that it would enhance the rivalries," said John Harrington, the
CLEVELAND — Kansas City could switch to the National League, and baseball's eight Pacific and Mountain time zone teams could be grouped together if the sport switches back from six divisions to four next year.
chief executive officer of the Boston Red Sox.
BASEBALL
But Harrington said owners might change to a 16-team league and a 14-team league, with two divisions in each. In that scenario, Anaheim, Arizona, Colorado, Oakland, Seattle, Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco may be grouped in a "Pacific" Division.
With the addition next season of Arizona to the NL and Tampa Bay to the AL, baseball's current plan calls for two 15-team leagues in 1998 with three divisions in each.
"It's a longshot. It's a stretch. But it's possible." Harrington said on the field prior to the All-Star game. Among other possibilities:
Montreal, Toronto and Detroit could be grouped together in a "Northern" Division.
Houston and Texas could be grouped together in one division.
Florida and Tampa Bay could be placed into the same division.
Harrington said that if teams went back to two divisions in each league, the most probable scenario would be to have the division winners advance to the postseason along with two wild cards in each league.
Harrington, faced with an Aug. 1 deadline for presenting next year's schedule to the players' association, said he still hoped to convince the Arizona Diamondbacks to switch from the NL to the AL next season.
Owners voted in January to put Arizona in the NL and Tampa Bay in the AL. While the Diamondbacks are a natural fit in the NL West, the executive council's initial plan to put the Devil Rays in the AL East was blocked by the AL. That plan called for Detroit to move from the AL East to the AL Central and the Royals to move from the AL Central to the AL West.

Montana sues Sega for breach of contract
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — Joe Montana has sued Sega of America Inc. for $5 million, claiming the company breached its contract with the former star quarterback on a football video game.
Montana had granted the videogame maker an exclusive worldwide license involving the game, according to court documents filed Friday in San Mateo Superior Court. The game was to have been on the market by May 1.
Joe Montana
Montana was to have received up to 7 percent of sales, as well as fees totaling $825,000, the lawsuit said. But after negotiating, Sega sent a letter to Montana telling him the contract no longer applied.
The suit seeks $5 million in general, special and punitive damages. The suit claims Montana lost money and other business opportunities during six months of negotiations with Sega.
Jury awards $26.6 million to fired 'Seinfeld' fan
MILWAUKEE — A jury awarded $26.6 million yesterday to a former Miller Brewing executive who sued the company for firing him after he discussed a racist episode of "Seinfeld" with a female co-worker
Jerold Mackenzie was fired from his $95,000-a-year job in 1993 after he told co-worker Patricia Best about the episode and she complained.
In closing arguments yesterday, Mackenzie's lawyer, Gerald Boyle, said Mackenzie had been targeted by executives who had wanted to get rid of him.
"They were out to get this guy," he said. "I am telling you right now what happened to that man is so indecent that it cries to heaven for vengeance."
Mackenzie was fired because his conversation with Best was the last in a series of bad management decisions, said Mary Pat Ninneman, the company's attorney.
She said the company had reprimanded Mackenzie in 1989 after allegations of sexual harassment
In the lawsuit, Mackenzie claimed Miller, Best and a company executive had interfered with his employment.
Poisoned chicken feed forces plant closings
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — At least four Arkansas poultry plants have been shut down this week because of dioxin in chicken feed, temporarily idling about 2,100 workers.
Federal officials ordered producers who used the feed contaminated with dioxin to keep the chickens from being killed before they are tested. About 1 million birds are in limbo, said Travis Justice of the Arkansas Farm Bureau.
Officials found unusually high levels of dioxin in two Tyson chickens last fall and traced the dioxin to ball clay from a Mississippi mine. Two Arkansas feed makers used the clay, which prevents feed from clumping, and sold it to chicken growers as well as some catfish farmers and egg producers.
Dioxin is considered a probable carcinogen at high enough levels, but the Food and Drug Administration said the danger was in cumulative lifetime exposure, not in eating a few chickens raised on the feed. The chickens fed the contami-
The chickens fed the contaminated feed may be salvageable
"They could separate out fat where (dioxin) might be concentrated and sell the portion below the acceptable level," said Jacque Knight, a representative for the Department of Agriculture.

New annual bus pass popular with students
By Tamara Miller
Kansan staff writer
KU on Wheels began selling an annual bus pass for the first time during last semester's fall enrollment, and the change has made Scott Kaiser, Overland Park sophomore and Senate transportation coordinator, confident.
"About twice the number of people are buying the annual pass over the semester pass," Kaiser said.
Student body president Scott Sullivan, Leawood senior, said KU on Wheels had improved its image and promoted sales by offering the annual pass.
Revenues now are above target, and Kaiser predicted that the bus passes could bring in almost $400,000. Last year, KU on Wheels sold 3,667 bus passes. Kaiser said he thought this year they would sell more.
"By the time we're done, we may sell 4,000 bus passes." Kaiser said.
During summer orientation, the semester bus pass costs $55 and the annual pass is $105. This fall, the semester pass will cost $60 and the annual pass will cost $110. The discount on bus passes is available only during enrollment, Kaiser said. This will give students an incentive to purchase passes during enrollment.
Bus passes will be sold at the options table during new student orientation, but only students attending orientation will be able to buy the
passes at the discounted rate.
Until last spring, students purchased passes each semester. Kaiser said the annual pass was more convenient for the students and for the transportation system.
Sullivan said that in the past it was harder to project a budget because revenue came in throughout the year. The one-time purchase of annual bus passes will bring revenue in at the beginning of the year, which will make budget estimates easier.
Kaiser said that the projected revenue might be attributed to an increase in freshman enrollment. He also said that many of the older students are buying bus passes this year instead of parking permits.
"Parking prices went up but KU on Wheels passes are the same price," Kaiser said.
A yellow parking permit, which is used mostly by off-campus students to park by Robinson and Memorial Stadium, increased $20 this fall to $75 for 12 months. Metered parking in those lots is 50 cents an hour.
Kaiser said riding the bus was also attractive to students because they could ride through campus and avoid parking problems and the walk up the hill.
Bus passes will be sold during the KU on Wheels bus pass sale from 8:30 to 4:30 p.m. Aug. 18-22 in the Kansas Room of the Union.
"It's obviously the best bus buy you can get," Sullivan said.

Jason McClasky still had Lawrence in his heart two years after he graduated. So he was pleased to find that a 1996 boom in apartment construction would give him plenty of housing choices when he finally returns to Lawrence this August.

The acres of new apartments McClasky found were a result of a 1996 explosion in apartment construction, the likes of which city officials have not seen in decades. A growing population and a perfect location have fueled the development of large apartment complexes in Lawrence.
"Last year was an unprecedented year. We had probably five large complexes go up at once," said Jim Sherman, a Lawrence building inspector.
There's no doubt that the population of Lawrence is growing. The
Sherman speculated population growth might be fueling the boom.
Most of the construction was in Lawrence. Almost 1000 of the 1300 apartments constructed in Douglas County were built within the Lawrence city limits.
"Well, I know that the population has increased quite a bit, and I assume that not everyone who is coming to Lawrence wants to buy a house, so they get an apartment," Sherman said. "I assume that whoever's developing these properties has guessed that they can rent them."
1990 census counted 65,208 residents in Lawrence. By 1997, Lawrence had grown to 78,131, according to Lawrence City Planning Department figures.
However, Fred Sherman, city and county planner, disputed the notion that a growing population was the driving force behind the new apartments. He suggested that other factors were at play.
"I don't think that population drives the number of units. It's usually that the population is a result of the number of units," said Sherman, who is not related to Jim Sherman

Robert Nunley, a KU professor of geography, agreed with Jim Sherman.

"In the movie Field of Dreams the phrase was 'Build it and they will come.' I'm not so sure that's true for baseball fields, but it has tended to be true for housing." Nunley said.
According to Nunley, people will move to any area where there is housing, but especially if it is attractive to people or if there are factors driving them to the area.
the growth of Lawrence was its position in a growth corridor between the two metropolitan areas of Kansas City and Topeka. This is attracting a large number of commuters and others fleeing urban life.
Nunley suggested that Lawrence was a natural high-growth area. Nunley said the main reason for
"There are not more than five or six other major universities that are located in that kind of an ideal situation for growth." Nunley said.
Nunley said the main reason for
Nunley said that developers looked at the same factors and trends as he did, but in a different way.
"They want to know where the people want to be, and they are always going to try and anticipate that." Numlevsaid.
Apparently developers think people will want to be in Lawrence and there will be a high demand for apartments.
Managers of some complexes said that the new apartments in Lawrence existed for one reason: demand.
"There are enough students in Lawrence to sell everything pretty quickly," said Tuckaway Apartments complex manager Kristine Nuss.
McClasky, who will move back to Lawrence and into High Pointe in August, is evidence of that demand.
Tasha Hammond, manager of High Pointe Apartments, also said there was a special demand for new apartments that offer indoor pools and hot tubs.
"When we found we could get a new apartment with all the extra amenities for only $30 to $40 more, we signed up," McClaskey said.
Mosquitoes have rights, deserve protection

while bad ones spread diseases.
A proposal circulating in city and county departments notes that good
BOULDER, Colo. — Take a look before you squash that mosquito on your neck, it might be a good one.
The university community, known for the political correctness of a large segment of its population, wants to make sure its mosquito abatement program kills only bad mosquitoes.
"Once you start messing with killing insects at that level of the food chain, you start radiating those impacts throughout the food chain," said Bryan Pritchett, Boulder Resource and Conservation director.
"You've got migratory birds; you've got bats; you've got toads — you've got all the animals that are in trouble right now. Nobody really knows why
they're in trouble, but it certainly isn't going to help them by monkeying with the food chain at the level where they feed," Pritchett said.
Pritchett said the fact that mosquitoes seemed to be surviving nicely was no reason not to protect them.
"If it's a nuisance, then there are other things people can do—put on citronella oil, those sorts of things, to prevent being bitten." Pritchett said.

In his element: Professor studies fuel cells
KU researcher may inform NASA of his alternative gas system
By Rebecca Osladl
Kansan staff writer
Trung Nguyen's hydrogen-powered golf cart should be zipping around campus soon, but he has bigger plans for his engine. He hopes that his fuel cells will be used in cars within the next 25 years.
Nguyen, assistant professor of chemical and petroleum engineering, and his research assistants Jung Yi, Seoul, South Korea, doctoral student and David Wood, Charlotte, N.C., graduate student, are making advances in proton-exchange-membrane fuel cells. The cells are made of a platinum-coated, ion-conducting membrane sandwiched between two steel plates. The motor runs on hydrogen gas and air.
The fuel cells can be used to power everything from generators to cars.
Each fuel cell contains a given amount of power. Much like regular batteries, the cells can be used together to provide more power.
Although researchers have been working on similar types of systems for about 10 years, Nguyen has found ways to improve the technology. He has miniaturized the fuel-cell parts and created a more efficient design.
Nguyen said he was concerned not only with power and effectiveness of the fuel cells but also the environment. Because the system relies on hydrogen and oxygen gases instead of fossil fuels, it doesn't pollute.
"The United States has to move toward a more high-tech industry," Nguyen said. "Car companies are very reluctant, but they are being forced to change because of environmental problems."
Such research on the development of alternate energy sources has become a global effort.
Nguyen said that motivation to develop alternate fuel systems for automobiles included more than just environmental concerns. He said that other countries such as Germany and Japan were currently developing alternate fuel technologies and that the United States had to keep up with foreign advancements, especially in the car industry.
Nguyen said hydrogen fuel systems have already been used in universal arenas. NASA uses hydrogen-powered engines in the space shuttles.
"I hope to have a prototype to be tested in a golf cart by next summer," Nguyen said. "If the cart works, I hope to attract a lot of interest from possible sources of funding."
If he is successful, he said he plans to contact NASA about his discoveries.
"I still need $10,000 to $20,000 to complete my research," he said.
Nguyen said that this type of technology also needed support from the government.
The funding that Nguyen has received so far has come mostly from grants.

"We should save petroleum to be used for chemical products such as plastics, fibers, chemicals, pesticides and fertilizers, and shift our source of energy to things such as solar energy and regenerative gasses like hydrogen. In 25 years or less I think that the world will switch to this," Nguyen said.
In the future, Nguyen envisions individuals pulling up to hydrogen gas stations.
Trung said automobiles that use fuel cells instead of internal combustion engines would cost consumers between $50,000 and $100,000. However, Nguyen said he hoped the price could be reduced to about $15,000.
Trung Nguyen, assistant professor of chemical and petroleum engineering, works with parts of his proton-exchange-membrane fuel cell. Nguyen has been developing the hydrogen-powered fuel cell, an alternative to the standard combustion engine, since 1994. He said he hoped to put a prototype in a golf cart by next summer.

City Commission should examine public opinion on city bus system
At the Lawrence City Commission meeting at Tuesday night, the commission failed to vote on whether citizens should decide if a public, citywide bus system should be implemented in Lawrence. Commissioner Bob Moody proposed the public referendum, but no commissioners seconded the motion.
On Wednesday in a study session, the commission discussed the transportation issue again. Commissioner John Nalbandian called for a straw poll to gauge public opinion about a fixedroute bus system by the year 2000. The other commissioners all turned down this proposal.
The actions of the commission essentially killed any chance that a public bus system would be implemented in the next few years. By refusing a vote or a poll, the commission gave two possible messages to the citizens of Lawrence:
1) You are not intelligent enough to make a decision about how your money will be spent on an issue as important
Denying citizens opportunity to vote or to be polled sends bad message from City Hall
as public transportation.
2) We don't think your opinions are needed in making a decision about how we should or should not spend your money.
Moody, commissioners Erv Hodges and Marty Kennedy, all of whom were elected in the spring, had run on platforms advocating a public referendum on a bus system. Despite this, Hodges and Kennedy still failed to support any action involving the bus system at all.
Even Moody said, as was quoted in last Wednesday's Lawrence Journal-World, that he did not need a referendum now, because he did not believe that the public would support a raise in taxes for the $1million system.
However, the article refers to a survey conducted for the commission, which found that 54 percent of Lawrence residents would be willing to have their property taxes increased 1 percent to pay for the bus system. Apparently, there may not be as much public opposition to the idea as some of the commissioners seem to think.
If the bus issue were put to a vote, or a straw poll was taken, then the commission would have a better understanding of the ideas and opinions of the community.
A related issue is that of downtown parking. While the commission, downtown business owners, and Lawrence residents fret about what would be the best way to increase parking, no one seems to have noticed the connection between this and a bus system. If there was an efficient bus system in Lawrence, perhaps shoppers would take a bus downtown so as to not have to search for a parking space.
Bus users not only would have a way to get around town, but those who normally would drive might lighten the downtown parking situation, thus solving two problems in one stroke.
PAUL EAKINS FOR THE EDITORIAL BOARD
School attendance law a good move
Education is of great importance. It is through education that Americans may better themselves, improve their skills and often improve their role in society. Through the public educational system, society seeks to educate its children, creating intelligent, open-minded individuals who will be future contributors to and shapers of our civilization.
It is not easy to succeed in America without at least a high school diploma, and Kansas lawmakers took action to ensure that children had adequate education and preparation for life.
A new state law that took effect July 1
requires children to attend school until
A new Kansas law requires students to remain in school until 18 years old
they're 18, rather than the previous age of 16. This compulsory school attendance law is a good step in the drive to better the educational standards of Kansas and the United States of America.
The law could keep potential drop-outs from getting into trouble during the day when they're in school, and perhaps give them some purpose as well. The two extra years of school that the potential drop-outs will have to attend could send them in a more productive direction in life.
If a 16- or 17-year-old wants to drop out, he and a parent must go to a counseling session, in which they will learn the benefits of a high school diploma.
such as increased job opportunities. If the student still wants to drop out, then both he and his parent must sign off on the decision.
The law is a good thing that will benefit the individual students, although some of them may not realize this, and society as a whole.

What I Believe
Befriending media is two-way street of trust
JEFF
RUBY
And I thought we could be friends.
After all our time together, you still don't trust me. You think I'm insensitive. I'm biased against you and countless others. I'm alternately gloomy and grotesque. To top it all off, I'm told I treat you as if you have the IQ of a box of Pop Tarts.
I am the "evil media." You are the poor, unsuspecting public. And never the twain
shall meet. Readers trust me and my kind about as much as an unfamiliar toilet with a dripping wet plunger alongside it. No wonder newspaper people drink like Johnny Cash at happy hour.
Every few years someone does an extensive poll that proves once and for all the shocking news that — I'm not making this up — PEOPLE DON'T TRUST THE MEDIA. So I guess we're not palms after all. Never were, never will be.
The latest proof that the press apparently sucks was generated by Parade, that little insert into Sunday's newspaper that we pitch straight in the garbage after reading those wonderful "Personality Parade" letters on page two, such as this one:
Q: Now that Prince Charles has divorced Princess Diana, is he looking for a new wife? Does he like blondes? You think you could get me his phone number? I just think he's the cat's meow. — Fanny O'Bannon, Huntington, W.V.
A: I'd say you've definitely got a shot, Fanny. Charles personally told the editors of Parade he's specifically looking for an uncultured American hick to help him assume the throne of the British empire and assist his rule over 58 million English subjects.
Anyway, back to the poll. More than 3,000 readers, an alarming number of whom were also named Fanny, responded to Parade's inquiry about how the media could gain more public trust.
The usual answers were abundant. We need to strive for objectivity. Eliminate editorial comments. Respect privacy. Report on more "hard" news and engage in less sensationalism. These are noble traits to which newspapers have aspired for years. Apparently we haven't achieved them yet, because the negative perception still exists among you, the readers.
For example, Marilyn J. Slabach, of Naples, 114., offered this bit of crucial advice for journalists like me: "Be responsible. The role of newspeople is an important one." Gee, thanks, Marilyn. I
thought I'd been writing, reporting and editing for my own personal amusement these past few years. Now that Ms. Slabach has so eloquently made me understand that I need to "be responsible," improving the media becomes a piece of cake.
As always, many respondents wanted more "good" news in the papers. "News items should cover more stories of people helping people," wrote Juan Pinaula of Lodi, Calif. Pat Whisenhunt of Fort Worth, Texas, agreed that positive news was the ticket. "Maybe lots of people would do better, not be under such stress, and people and kids wouldn't be depressed." Who! People AND kids? People, maybe. But c'mon. Kids too?
It's a harsh fact of life that the world is a depressing place. Newspapers reflect that atmosphere. They do so because time and time again, you readers have shown that you don't want to read about Sister Maria's 30 wonderful years of feeding the homeless. You want to read about Father Kenneth's lifelong predilection for 12-year-old altar boys.
If papers focused on the rare occasions in which human beings actually did nice things for one another, then every paper other than the New York Times would have a circulation of approximately three readers, give or take your occasional Juan and Pat.
The problem always will exist until you prove you will pay attention to a media that offers you news in an intelligent, thought-provoking way. But my guess is, if we stop feeding you stories about UFOs in Roswell and Bill Cosby's illegitimate daughter, you will seek out some other medium in which to find them. Papers can be as intelligent as possible, but if they're boring, you will stop reading them. Simple as that.
"I think it's time the news media start acting as if they are reporting the news to relatively intelligent and informed individuals, not a bunch of morons," suggested Roberta L. Hough of Lancaster, Penn.
To Roberta and all the Robertas out there: If you act like a moron, it is the media's right to treat you as one. Confirm for the media that you really want news about the world and how it can be improved, instead of flipping immediately to the comics or Dear Abby. This is the only way newspapers can improve. Before you go pointing the finger at the media monster, ask yourself what type of news really interests you.
My only solace as a journalist — and what sweet solace it be — is that the number of U.S. drinking establishments with Guinness on tap has doubled in the last 16 months.
Jeff Ruby is a Wichita graduate student in journalism.
You'd be hard-pressed to find a student at this or any other university who has never ordered a pizza. College students generally are not known for their copious free time or their amazing culinary abilities. This is probably why Lawrence has so many delivery places. While I'm sure that many of you actually can cook, that usually doesn't mean that you don't occasionally want
Pizza delivery drivers take risks, deserve tips
someone else to cook your dinner. And, as long as someone will bring it to your house, apartment, or dorm room for the same low price, why not let them?
V. MEREDITH
TOENJES
Most college students take pizza delivery for granted. Very few, if any, remember a time when you couldn't just make a phone call and have pizza brought to your front door. While there are a few pizza shops that still don't deliver, it would be hard to find someone, who didn't just arrive in this country, who hadn't had a pizza delivered at one time or another.
What many people don't realize, or don't care about, is that, just like the person who brings your food to your table at a restaurant, the person who brings food to your door should be given a tip. Anyone who provides a service such as this is customarily tipped in our society. This includes, among others, food servers, hair dressers and probably prostitutes, but that's a discussion that should be taken up at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas' student paper. Putting aside the prostitution question, unlike most service personnel, pizza delivery can be dangerous as well as underpaid.
In most states, waiters and waitresses are paid according to a minimum wage just for them, on the assumption that they will receive tips from the customers. The last time I checked, that wage rose from $2.01 per hour to around $2.15. Pizza delivery drivers usually are paid at least the regular minimum wage, (all of $4.75, still not great). They also are paid either
Oprah once did a show in which she said that the proper amount to tip a driver was $1 per pizza or 10 percent, whichever is higher. Think about that the next time you order a pizza. While most people who deliver pizza never have to deal with being robbed, the threat is always present. To have the convenience of having your food brought to your door, there must be enough people willing to wear out their cars and take the risks required to bring it to you. If the tips suck, then it may become harder and harder to find these people. Most people, myself included, do not want to risk guns stuck in their faces for chump change.
So, I hope this helps you all understand why you should tip your driver the next time you get food delivered to your door. I also hope this helps my mother understand why I don't want to work for the post office, so maybe now she'll finally quit trying to get me to work there. I think I've had enough guns stuck in my face for one lifetime.
In the late '80s, out of more than 4000 Domino's Pizza stores in the U.S., the top three for robberies and accidents were all right down the road in Kansas City. I remember this little tidbit of information mostly because I worked at two of those stores and occasionally helped out in the third. Working for two different companies, I've been robbed 4 times. Three of those times I had a gun pointed in my face. When I was a pizza delivery driver and an assistant manager at one store, there were at least 15 driver or store robberies. Once, a 64-year-old man ended up with 24 stitches so that his assailants could get away with $22. He would have given them the money if they had demanded it, but instead they just beat him.
an amount per delivery or mile, which barely covers gas and oil changes and leaves them in need of much more frequent repair repairs than most of us.

Local eateries leave leftovers for needy
By Lauren Dials
Kansan staff writer
Bakeries in Lawrence throw away thousands of dollars in food every day, but some people are thankful for the waste.
Bagel and Bagel is one of the businesses in Lawrence that throw away leftovers. Waste at each store ranges from 100 to 300 bagels a day.
Bakeries and other businesses that make their product daily do not keep the products for more than one day.
Matt Edwards, Kansas City, Mo., senior has worked at Bagel and Bagel for more than a year, and he has seen a lot of waste.
"When we first opened, a shelter came to pick up the bagels every night," Edwards said. "When they stopped, we had no choice but to throw them away. Now we put them in the dumpster every night."
But some still take advantage of the bagels that Bagel and Bagel throws away.
"A lot of people wait outside after we close, and they take the bagels before we dump them," Edwards said. "I've also seen homeless people climb in the dumpsets and take the bags out. There's nothing wrong with the bagels, some of them are even fresh."
Dave Webster, general manager of Bagel and Bagel, said that sometimes the bagel-waste percentage is as high as 25 percent.
He said that waste is inevitable when dealing with a bakery or noshery.
"Bagels are hard anyway," said Billy Davis, assistant manager at Bagel and Bagel. "If we served them the day after they were baked, they'd be hard as a rock."
"We can't use our bagels for more than one day because they wouldn't be fresh," Webster said. "Some of them we send back to the commissary, and they make bagel chips out of them. But even after that, there are still a lot left."
The daily waste from Bagel and Bagel fills up to two garbage cans every day.
Webster said some of his employees put the bagels in clean garbage bags and leave
"A lot of people wait outside after we close, and they take the bagels before we dump them."
Matt Edwards Kansas City, Mo. senior and Bagel and Bagel employee
them outside the dumpsters so that they will be taken and won't go to waste.
Other Lawrence businesses, like Wheatfields Bakery and Blimpie Subs and Salads, donate regularly to local shelters and organizations.
Melissa Charles, Wheatfields employee, said the store donates its daily waste, such as cookies, pastries, and breads, to shelters every day.
"We feel strongly about donating," Charles said. "We have a total of five organizations that we give to, and we give to two of them on a daily basis. Why throw it away if someone can use it?"
Women's Transitional Care Services, a shelter for battered women and their children, is one of the organizations that receives Wheatfields leftovers. Angie Reinking, a supporter of the shelter, said that donations are extremely helpful.
"We could really use donations," Reinking said. "We house up to 20 people a day. Some restaurants do call us, but it's hard for them because they can't deliver the food. It's a private location."
Bagel and Bagel is looking for a place to donate their bagels.
"They'd be a lot more useful at a shelter than they will in a dumpster," Webster said.
Learned Club serves past and present KU students
By Daniel Ethan Thompson
Kansan staff writer
Just beyond the north traffic booth on Jayhawk Boulevard sits a colonial brick building. On the loading dock, there are often slick-haired servers and chefs with big, white hats who smoke and sculpt ice that will be taken inside to a restaurant few students have been to.
Never eaten there? Neither have a lot of Lawrence residents. "We're here for the people," said Bryan Greve, manager of the Learned Club in the Adams Alumni Center, 1266 Oread Ave. "But we don't want walk-ins off the street. That's not our purpose. We have a niche."
The Learned Club, which is one of the University of Kansas Alumni Association's organizations, supports the association's mission through hospitality, Greve said. The restaurant on the second floor sits beyond the top of a large, curved staircase. The wood paneling and rich, red carpet is spread throughout the small dining rooms where white-haired customers outnumber the college-aged wait staff.
In the past, in order to eat at the club, a patron had to pay the Alumni Association's dues and a supplemental fee.
Now, anyone who is a member of the Alumni Association may eat at and use the center and its services.
Greve said that the new payment plan is more of a value for faculty and staff.
For the first three years after a student graduates, the fee is $25 annually and the first six months are free. Then the annual fee is $40.
Alumni Association members don't have to have graduated -- anyone who has attended or is attending the University can
join. In fact, friends of the University can join, which is a very broad definition.
Sheila Immel, senior vice president of the Alumni Center, said that for $15 a year, a student could join the Student Alumni Association and receive the same benefits.
"We had 70 to 80 members this year, but we want to expand that to 150." she said.
Greve said many faculty and staff members paid the dues so that they could come down during the lunch hour and have the buffet.
He also said they are collecting menus from other restaurants to look at themes and gather ideas.
Other upscale restaurants in town don't worry about the competition from the Learned Club.
"They're more or less eclectic, and we are an Italian restaurant," said Albert Pereira, supervisor at Paisano's Ristorante, 2112 W. 25th St.
"The alumni will go there, but that's tradition. We worry more about direct competition," he said. On graduation weekend, his restaurant's tables were full most of the night.
James Truscello, co-owner of Pachamama's, 2161 Quail Creek Drive, said that business at his establishment was good during graduation but that the Learned Club had set itself apart.
Greve knows that his club fulfills a specific purpose.
"I know there's competition for people's time everywhere," he said. "But because our business is driven by the University, that's where we focus our efforts. We have this building that's the Alumni Center. We want to bring life, a feeling of belonging. It's our hope and intention to make the center more open and inviting."

The Juice Stop to open another location
By Dana Brooks
Lawrence health nuts soon will have a downtown store that serves their favorite frozen fruit drinks.
Kansan staff writer
Juice Stop, 3514 Clinton Parkway, will be opening a new location at 812 Massachusetts St. before August.
Liz Weston, manager of both Juice Stop stores, said she decided to open the second store after seeing the demand for the health foods and drinks she sells. The new location will give health-conscious residents and students on the east side of town a better chance to enjoy the drinks.
Ann Chapman, dietitian at Watkins Health Center, said that more students, especially women, wanted to look and feel better about themselves.
"Many students have an interest in eating healthier." Chapman said.
Erika Dowdy, Topeka junior and frequent Juice Stop visitor, agreed.
"I like the drinks because the proteins and vitamins they put in them make me feel like I just ate a healthy, satisfying meal and not a Big Mac and large fries," she said. The Juice Stop serves healthy snacks.
including smoothies, a frozen fruit drink made from all-natural ingredients. A popular drink is the "slop shot", which consists of cranberry juice, raspberry shebet, nonfat vanilla frozen yogurt, frozen strawberries and frozen blueberries. All of the drinks have two grams of fat or less.
Customers may choose from a list of nutrients that can be added to the smoothies. One nutrient, ginseng, helps concentration and boosts energy. Weston said. Another popular nutrient, lecithin, helps fight viral infections and keeps fats from depositing on artery walls.
But Chapman said the drinks should not be viewed as healthy meals. They should be considered a treat or a snack.
"The goal when you eat a meal is to eat from all of the five food groups," Chapman said. "A frozen yogurt or fruit drink with supplements is not a complete meal," she said. "You don't need supplements if you're already eating a healthy diet."
The new Massachusetts Street location will open as soon as construction is completed. Weston said.
Jeff Showalter, a project manager at Gene Fritzel Construction, said the work should be finished within two weeks.

As construction at the second Juice Stop, 812 Massachusetts St., nears completion, Tracy Samuels, owner of Samuels Cleaning Professionals, removes scratches made during store renovations. The new location is scheduled to open within two weeks.

Some students find extra money with little effort
Donating plasma earns cash
By Kirsten Havner
Kansan staff writer
With book in hand and two hours to wait, Scott Krichau, Grand Island, Neb., graduate student, patiently waits to earn some extra cash and help save a life.
Krichau is selling his plasma.
Selling plasma has become a popular way for KU students to make extra cash with little effort.
Roman Haehn, assistant manager for NABI Biomedical, a Lawrence plasma center at 816 W. 24th St., said that about 50 percent of the center's clientele is KU students.
"I would like to think that most of the clientele are donating for the principle, but truthfully, I think
that most come in for some easy, fast cash," Haehn said.
Krichau said that the $140 he earned each month was better than nothing, especially considering that he did not have to do much to earn it. He spends most of the money he makes on groceries and miscellaneous items, he said.
"I have only been in Lawrence for a month-and-a half. I work for a temporary agency, but I am not getting enough hours," Krichau said.
"Over the past month-and-a-half, I have probably brought in a couple hundred dollars. It really helps."
Ryan Krase, Wichita junior, said he had been donating twice a week since last month. He said he thought of selling plasma as a financial base he could fall back on.
"Last month, I quit my job. The job I have now doesn't pay as well, so by donating plasma I get extra money for play cash," Krase said.
Although most students do not
rely on the plasma market as their sole income, Krichau said he would continue donating when school starts.
"Right now I do it whenever I can fit it into my schedule. I know that I will keep on donating when school starts because I won't be able to work as much," Krichau said.
Before each donation, a potential donor must undergo minor blood tests to make sure the blood is suitable for donation.
"Today I had a low tetanus level in my blood, so I got paid an extra $5 to get a tetanus shot. So not only am I getting paid to squeeze a ball, but I am also getting paid to get the shots that I need," Krichau said.
Haehn said that NABI paid for donations to keep people coming.
"The plasma donations help a lot of people, assists with research and is sold to pharmaceutical companies to help make products. It is very important that people keep donating," Haehn said.
Heat sickness not cool
By Randall Rock, chief of staff Watkins Health Center Special to the Kansan
When the weather forecast includes 100-degree temperatures and the relative humidity percentage isn't far behind, it's easy to predict that heat-related ailments may occur. Hyperthermia occurs when the body can't rid itself of excess heat by its usual methods. In warm weather, heat doesn't radiate from the body; if the humidity is also high, then sweat can't evaporate and cool the body.
Other factors can contribute to heat-related problems, too. Dehydration, age, clothing, direct sun exposure, alcohol use and medications may hinder the body's ability to prevent hyperthermia.
There are three types of heat injury: cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
First-ad measures include providing shade from the direct sun, removing the patient's clothes and fanning the patient. Bathing the patient with cool water and applying ice packs is appropriate while emergency transport is arranged. Oral fluids should not be offered to a confused or lethargic patient. Emergency personnel will give fluids intravenously.
Kansas summers can be enjoyed without risk of heat injury if common sense and caution are exercised. Heavy work or athletic workouts should be scheduled during the cooler morning or evening hours. Good hydration should be maintained and replacement fluids should be consumed during exercise.
If you have questions or concerns regarding the effects of summer heat on your health contact Watkins Health Center at 864-9500 for further information.

Bosnia explodes again; Westerners threatened
Violence follows after war crimes suspect killed
The Associated Press
PALE, Bosnia-Herzegovina — Back-to-back explosions targeting Westerners raised fears yesterday of a violent Bosnian Serb campaign of retaliation for NATO moves to arrest war crimes suspects.
Late Monday, a blast broke dozens of windows on a block housing a senior administrator with the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe in Banja Luka, the largest Serb-held town in Bosnia.
On Sunday, a bomb exploded in a OSCE jeep in the eastern Bosnia town of Zvornik, shattering windows in a hotel and a nearby school.
"It's a miracle that nobody got wounded," OSCE spokesman Johan Verheyden said of Monday's attack,
in which it appeared a grenade had been thrown at the building.
"It's getting worse," Verheyden said. "We are looking into the possibility that this is a more orchestrated campaign."
In Washington, President Clinton warned Bosnian Serbs that it would be a grave mistake to retaliate.
The OSCE, which is overseeing September's local elections in Bosnia, tightened security for its people in Serb-held territory. The election work is part of the OSCE's overall effort to help enforce the peace accord that ended the 3 1/2-year Bosnian war.
Bosnian Serb leaders have accused NATO of overstepping the mandate for the peace troops it leads in divided Bosnia. They warn that further actions could prompt uncontrollable rage against foreign troops.
U. N. police repeatedly have been harassed since Thursday, when British troops in northern Bosnia killed a war crimes suspect who resisted arrest.
In Doboj, another eastern Serbheld town, an unknown Serb group printed leaflets containing death threats against the 30,000-member NATO-led force, which includes some 8,000 Americans.
Seventy-two members of the peace force, including 10 Americans, have died since it began work in December 1995. Another 235 members of the force have been injured. Road accidents or mines have been responsible for most of the casualties.
One U.S. soldier was killed yesterday and another was injured when their vehicle veered off the road en route from Banja Luka to Sarajevo, the NATO-led peace force said.
The peace force provided no further details on the crash, which occurred north of Donji Vakuf, about 65 miles southwest of Tuzla.
Both soldiers were with the Allied Military Intelligence Battalion based in Sarajevo. Their names were being withheld pending notification of their families.
American may fix Mir station
MOSCOW — With Mir's commander potentially sidelined by heart problems, Russia's Mission Control turned to NASA yesterday — proposing that the American astronaut on board try to repair the crippled space sts.

repair the crippled space station.
Vital repairs on the damaged spacecraft have been delayed while doctors look into Russian commander Vasily Tsiliyev's heart trouble. If it turns out to be a serious medical problem, Foale may have to don a spacesuit to help bring the station's energy system back up to full power.
Tapping Michael Foale to join the fix-it task force would be the biggest assignment ever for an American on the Russian Mir — and the riskiest.
"We haven't talked to Foale about that yet," said Mission Control chief Vladimir Solovyov. "Back on the ground,

he said he would be eager to do a spacewalk."
While lives aren't in danger, the Russians are eager to solve the problem before the next crew arrives Aug 5.
Officials still hope the two Russian cosmonauts in the three-man crew will be up to carrying out the repairs themselves after they are rested.
"We're going to take a good,hard look at it and look at the engineering and safety aspects of it."
Tsibilyev's heart trouble forced officials to postpone yesterday's scheduled repair session,
Ellene Hawley NASA representative
Tsibliyev or Russian crewmate Alexander Lazutkin had been scheduled to make the delicate trek into the Spektr—one of six modules that make up the orbital station. The Mir's crew hopes to hook up power cables that will allow the station to receive power from the Spektr's recently disengaged solar panels.
Foale could be called in for the job. While the work doesn't involve going outside the space station, it would mean going into sections of Mir that have been sealed off since the accident.
expect to make a decision until today — at the earliest — on whether to approve Foale's possible role.
NASA representative Eileen Hawley said NASA didn't

Designer killed in front of his home
Suspect already listed as one of FBI's most wanted
The Associated Press
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — Gianni Versace, who dressed celebrities the world over in his glamorous, sexy designs, was killed outside his ocean-front home yesterday by a man who shot him twice in the back of the head at point-blank range.
The FBI was looking into the possibility that suspected killer Andrew Cunanan, one of the FBI's 10 most-wanted fugitives, had struck again. The 27-year-old Cunanan was known to move in gay circles. Versace was gay.
Versace, 50, was returning home from the News Cafe on South Beach's Ocean Drive
after buying an Italian newspaper when he was gunned down outside the gates of his Mediterranean-style mansion.
"I do know it is not a random act of violence," Police Chief Richard Barreto said. "I believe that he was targeted."
Police said the fashion designer was shot by
white man in his mid-20s, dressed in a white or gray shirt and dark shorts and carrying a backpack.
Glanni Versace
Officers later cordoned off a five-story municipal parking garage near the shooting scene after a witness saw a man fitting the description of the suspect. WTVJ-TV in Miami reported police found clothing under a red pickup truck in the parking garage and believed the clothes belonged to the suspect.
Police said Cunanan stole a red pickup truck after his last known slaying, that of a
cemetry caretaker in New Jersey. Cunanan also also charged in the May slaying of a Minneapolis architect, and is the prime suspect in the killings of a former boyfriend from Minneapolis and a Chicago businessman.
Along with Giorgio Armani, Versace was considered Italy's leading ready-to-wear designer and a symbol of Italian fashion.
"Glanni Versace together with a handful of names symbolizes the success of Italian fashion all over the world," Armani said. "My reaction is one of revolt against such an unnatural and violent death and one of profound grief."
Hours after the slaying, a puddle of blood remained on the steps of Versace's threestory home. The estate, created from two aging Art Deco hotels, faces the Atlantic Ocean. It is surrounded by a high wall, and his Renaissance-style crest adorns the ornate entrances to the estate.
Versace entertained stars such as Madonna and Robert DeNiro and liked to take leisurely walks along South Beach, often
A native of Reggio Calabria in southern Italy, Versace began designing ready-to-wear for other firms in 1972 in Milan. He launched the Gianni Versace label in 1978.
alone.
Versace gained fame in the 1980s, staging his fashion shows with blaring rock music, glaring floodlights and large screens showing what was going on on the runway.
His first big hit was the use of clingy, chainmail material. He was largely responsible for the rebirth in Italy of the miniskirt. Versace was a major force in creating the black-leather look and the glittery sequined jackets so loved by pop singers.
Celebrities who have worn Versace designs include Courtney Love, Elton John, Demi Moore, Rod Stewart, Jane Fonda, Prince, Julie Andrews, Kim Basinger, Jane Seymour, Oksana Baiul and Princess Diana, according to his company.
Besides women's and men's wear, his lines now include children's clothing, lingerie, beachwear, accessories and perfume.
Cosby aids girl admits to affair
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Bill Cosby, America's most beloved TV dad, testified yesterday that he had paid Autumn Jackson's mother $100,000 during 20 years because she had implied that she would go public with their brief affair.
Cosby said he had paid for Jackson's schooling and had given her a car.
"I will be for you a father figure, but I am not your father," Cobb recalled telling Jackson, 22, who claims to be his out-of-wedlock daughter.
Jackson is on trial for allegedly trying to extort $40 million from the entertainer by threatening to tell her story to the tabloids.
Cosby has said he did not believe he was Jackson's father, but he concedes that he had an affair with her mother, Shawn Upshaw. He has declined to take a blood test to determine paternity, and the judge has ruled that the paternity issue is irrelevant.
Bill Cosby
Prosecutors said there was not evidence to believe Cosby was Jackson's father. Jackson's birth certificate names a Los Angeles truck driver as her father.
Jackson's lawyer, Robert Baum, had said his client was raised to believe Cosby was her father. He denied she committed extortion and said she was engaged in a lawful negotiation.
Cosby testified that when Jackson had entered college, he had begun
speaking to her frequently. He put her picture on "The Cosby Show" set after she gave it to him the one time they met, in the early 1990s.
Bill Cosby
"This is to inspire you to go out and become something." Cosby recalled saying, glaring at Jackson across the courtroom.
Cosby described his tryst with Upshaw in the mid-1970s. He met her in a Los Angeles hotel and asked her to dance, later inviting her to meet him in Nevada.
"I called her, and she came to Las Vegas, and we spent time. We had sex," Cosby testified.
Upshaw and Cosby met again, and she showed him a picture of a child. "She said this is your daughter, Autumn," Cosby testified. "I said, 'That's not my daughter,' and that was it."
He said he had told his wife, Camille, about the affair 17 years ago but had worried about publicity because he had been building a career emphasizing family values. Cosby was popular as the father of a prosperous family in the top-rated TV show of the 1980s and had written the best-selling book, "Fatherhood."
Robinson coins lead to fray
Money raised from coins to benefit Botanical Gardens
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — In a ceremony on the Treasury steps, officials trumpeted commemorative coins honoring Jackie Robinson, with proceeds going to scholarships for poor inner-city kids.
What wasn't mentioned — and what none of the U.S. Mint's gloss brochures say — is that $1 million, nearly 20 percent of the expected proceeds, will instead help expand the U.S. Botanic Garden at the foot of Capitol Hill.
Former Sen. Bennett Johnston, a Louisiana Democrat whose wife, Mary, is a vice chairwoman of The National Fund for the U.S. Botanic Garden, got the money diverted last session.
Nine months afterward, bitterness lingers.
"We felt the overwhelmingly greater priority was educating young men and women who might not otherwise have the opportunity to attend college," said Leonard Coleman, baseball's National League president and Jackie Robinson Foundation chairman.
The developments illustrate the fierce politics surrounding the selection of subjects for the nation's commemorative coins, pitting worthy cause against worthy cause.
On a recent summer morning, the scene at the Botanic Garden's glass-walled conservatory is as foreign as can be from the rollick-
"We felt the overwhelmingly greater priority was educating young men and women who might not otherwise have the opportunity to attend college."
Leonard Coleman National League president, Jackie Robinson Foundation chairman
ing bleachers of Brooklyn's Ebbets Field, where Jackie Robinson ran, batted and caught his way into history, breaking baseball's color barrier a half-century ago.
Classical music tinkles softly. Strolling tourists breathe flower-scented air. Art students strive to capture the play of light on leaf.
The two worlds intersected last October when Congress authorized a $5-gold piece and a silver dollar, both honoring Robinson. Eager to fly home to campaign for re-election, lawmakers approved the bill with little
debate.
No one mentioned that the Botanic Garden would share proceeds with a nonprofit educational foundation established by the ballplayer's widow.
The law provided for 100,000 gold pieces, with a $35 surcharge on each. If they sell out as expected, that would raise $3.5 million for the Robinson foundation, which supported 142 students at 62 schools during the past year.
The law also authorized 200,000 silver dollars, with a $10 surcharge, which would raise $2 million.
Johnston at first sought to block the Robinson coin.
He was worried the Robinson dollar would hurt sales of a separate, already authorized silver dollar commemorating the establishment of the garden in 1820.
"There are only so many coins in a certain year they can sell," he said.
Earlier, Botanic Garden supporters had been forced to defer to Olympic coins, missing the garden's 175th anniversary by two years.
This time Johnston offered a compromise: split the proceeds of the Robinson silver dollar. So, the first $1 million — enough for 50 four-year scholarships — will go to the garden.
To Johnston, the arrangement is more than fair. His wife had spent years working to raise money for the garden with B.A. Bentsen, wife of Lloyd Bentsen, the former senator and Treasury secretary, and Teresa Heinz, of Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass.
The Robinson foundation proposed its coin at the 11th hour, he said.

Yankees fend off parentage questions
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Hidei Irabu never got a chance to respond to any personal questions. The New York Yankees made sure of that.
Irabu won his second major-league start yesterday by pitching five unimpressive innings in a 12-5 victory over the Cleveland Indians.
Most of the pregame hype centered on a story published yesterday reporting that the Japanese star's father was an American. Ichiro Irabu, author
Yan rees
Ichiro Irabu speaking by tele-
pnone from Japan, told The New York Times that his wife, Kazue, and an unidentified American are his stepson's birth parents.
There has been speculation in Japan that the pitcher's father was an American serviceman, the paper said. Japanese birth documents list a parent only if he or she is a Japanese citizen, and the family has not spoken about Irabu's parentage.
As Irabu entered an auxiliary clubhouse to meet the media following yesterday's game, a Yankees representative asked reporters to refrain from asking any non-baseball questions.
"We don't think this is an appropriate time for personal questions," Yankees representative Rick Cerrone said.
Bridge accident kills 2; Maccabiah Games go on
The Associated Press
TEL AVIV, Israel — Sobbing and hugging each other, Australian athletes prayed yesterday for two teammates killed in a bridge collapse at the Maccabiah Games.
As police began investigating Monday's collapse, which also injured 64 athletes, the engineer who approved the wood and aluminum bridge said the span could not hold more than 100 people simultaneously.
"I insisted, and the client agreed, that a man would be posted at the entrance to the bridge and would not allow more than 100 people onto it at any one time," said Micha Bar-Ilan, who was questioned by police.
Video shot just before the collapse showed the Australian athletes walking onto the bridge
Police Minister Avigdor Kahalani said he did not know of any restriction.
"I insisted... that a man would be posted at the entrance to the bridge and would not allow more than 100 people onto it at any one time."
and no one is seen counting them. Israel TV said almost all 380 members of the Australian team had been on the bridge when it fell. Earlier reports and witnesses said the number was about 100.
The Israeli army reportedly had offered to build the
Micha Bar-Ilan engineer
bridge across the Yarkon River into the Ratmat Gan stadium for $85,700 but lost to a private company that offered to do the work for $20,000.
The Haaretz daily reported that the army criticized the games' organizers. One officer reportedly said that people died because of a petty dispute about money.
The Maariv daily said that organizers had ignored warnings by Israeli security officials that the wobbly structure, 65 feet long and 16 1/2 feet wide, would not be safe.
The Australian team gathered its own evidence, interviewing team members who witnessed the tragedy during the opening ceremony of the Olympic-style games.
The games were suspended until today to mourn the dead, both members of the Australian ten-pin bowling team.
The injured included 63 Australians and one Austrian. Seven of those hurt were in serious condition. Some of the injuries were aggravated by insecticides sprayed on the river to exterminate mosquitoes, Israel TV said.
Bulls' contract offer rejected by Jackson
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Phil Jackson has rejected the Chicago Bulls' contract offer, and team chairman Jerry Reinsdorf is asking to meet privately with the coach who has led the team to five NBA championships in seven years.
Jackson's agent, Todd Musburger, said yesterday the Bulls had made an insulting offer that did not reflect Jackson's worth.
No more negotiations were scheduled for this week, Musburger said.
"They're not going to sign Phil Jackson for the amount they've put on the table," Musburger said.
The situation has grave implications for the Bulls for one large reason — free agent Michael Jordan says he will not return to the Bulls if Jackson is not the coach.
CHICAGO
BULLS
In a statement, Reinsdorf said he had asked for a meeting with Jackson to tell him he would give him a one-year deal worth more money than any NBA head coach who is not also a manager.
"It is our fervent wish that this direct communication takes place so that we can work out an amicable agreement that honors
Mr. Jackson, the Bulls organization and the fans of Chicago," Reinsdorf said.
Musburger said Jackson, who made $2.7 million last year, wants a salary that is equal to his contribution to the team and to other salaries in the NBA.
Musburger would not say exactly what the Bulls had offered or what Jackson is seeking. But newspaper reports have said Jackson is probably seeking between $4.3 million and $5.75 million next season.
Reporter files lawsuit against Nets coach for racial comment
Although Jackson and the Bulls are at an impasse, the coach is not considering offers from other teams, Musburger said.
The Associated Press
PATERSON, N.J. -- A Mexican-American reporter who was called a Mexican idiot by New Jersey Nets coach John Calipari has filed a lawsuit against him and the NBA team seeking damages for extreme humiliation and emotional distress.
Attorneys for Dan Garcia, employee of the Newark Star-Ledger, filed the suit in state Superior Court on Monday. It does not ask for a specific amount in damages for the incident that took place March 20 after a Nets practice.
In a statement issued Monday by spokesman John Mertz, the Nets called the lawsuit an opportunistic ploy to get money for absolutely no legal reason.
NETS
Calipari publicly
apologized for his comments, saying they were an ill-advised attempt at humor. He was fined $25,000 by the NBA.
Garcia, who has covered the Nets for the
past nine seasons, was vacationing in Utah and could not be reached for comment.
"This was Dan's decision," said Kevin Whitmer, the Star-Ledger sports editor, in yesterday's edition of the paper. "It obviously means his assignment will change."
The Nets said they had been contacted by Garcia's attorneys.
"We were surprised and disappointed to receive that letter since Michael Rowe, on behalf of the Nets organization, and Coach Callpari publicly apologized to Mr. Garcia, and he accepted our apology."
The incident happened in a parking lot at Ramapo College in Mahwah. Calipari was being interviewed when he gestured toward Garcia.
Reportedly, Calipari was complaining about media coverage and said Mexican idiot, along with an expletive, loudly enough for Garcia to hear.
Calipari reportedly asked Garcia if he thought he was doing a good coaching job, to which Garcia apparently responded. "No. I think you're a 5-year-old coach."
The answer reportedly enraged Calipari, who said Garcia deserved to be punched
for the comment.
Calipari read a public apology four days later that said, "I am sorry for the pain the remarks may have caused. I consider the matter closed."
Garcia said that if Calipari apologized, the incident would be finished.
"He's apologized to me," Garcia said. "Let him go on with the team."
The Nets later issued a statement that said the organization disapproved of any racial or ethnic remarks made by any member of the organization or anyone else.

Ex-Arkansas governor is granted trial delay
(USPS 650-640)
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Citing Jim Guy Tucker's health problems following a liver transplant, a federal judge yesterday granted an indefinite delay in the former Arkansas governor's second fraud trial.
Tucker, who resigned last year and underwent a liver transplant on Christmas Day, is charged with two others in plotting to hide profits from a multimillion-dollar cable television deal.
U. S. District Judge Stephen M. Reasoner cited reports from three of Tucker's doctors who described his medical condition as precarious and doubted he could help with his defense or withstand a lengthy trial.
Tucker was convicted last year on one fraud and one conspiracy count in a Whitewater trial with James McDougal and McDougal's ex-wife, Susan. Tucker was sentenced to 18 months of home detention and four years of probation.
The ruling left unresolved motions by co-defendants William Marks and John Haley. The judge previously rejected Haley's request for a separate trial but indicated he might reconsider if Tucker was not ready for trial on Sept. 22.
Marks joined Tucker's request for a delay, saying the trial should be continued until such time as Tucker is medically able to testify.
Greenspan's comment sends market skyward
WASHINGTON — Calling the economy exceptional, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan indicated there is no need to boost interest rates to fight inflation. That was all Wall Street needed to hear
Alan Greenspan
一
to send stocks and bonds soaring.
The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 154.93 points to a record high of 8,061.65.
The ever-cautious Greenspan sought
yesterday to strike a balance in delivering his midyear report to Congress. He said while he saw no evidence of increased inflation, the central bank was on the alert for faster-than-expected economic growth that could require the brake of rate hikes down the road.
But analysts and investors viewed Greenspan's overall views about the economy as upbeat, especially because he gave no signal that any interest-rate increase was imminent.
"The fear of Fed tightening has been removed, at least for the foreseeable future, and that means the financial-market horses can run free and unrestrained," said Sung Won Sohn, chief economist at Northwest Corp. in Minneapolis.
Ten killed in rock slide in South African mine
JOHANNESBURG. South Africa
The 3.7-magnitude tremor rattled the Hartebeestfontein gold mine, 110 miles southwest of Johannesburg, Monday night, said Julian Gwillim, representative for mine operator Aygold Limited.
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
— A minor earthquake set off an underground rock slide, killing 10 people and leaving eight missing yesterday in a South African gold mine.
Thirty miners were taken to a local hospital and another 46 were treated for minor injuries at a mine medical station, Gwillim said.
Ashleigh Roberts / KANSAI
"Rescue operations are continuing and will not cease until all the missing men have been located," he said yesterday.
South Africa is the world's leading gold producer and has some of the deepest mines.

Courthalts trafficway
Impact study must be done
By Paul Eakins
Kansan staff writer
A federal order put the brakes on the eastern leg of the South Lawrence Trafficway last Thursday.
U. S. District Judge Tom Van Bebber ruled that a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement would have to be completed before work could continue on the trafficway.
The order was the result of a lawsuit brought by Native Americans and environmentalists against the Douglas County Commission and the Kansas Department of Transportation. The Federal Highway Administration also was named in the suit because of its involvement in the project.
The plaintiffs were concerned about the environmental impact the trafficway would have on the Baker Wetlands and the areas used by Haskell Indian Nations University and other Native American groups for religious ceremonies.
The plaintiffs and their attorney, Bob Eye said they were happy with the ruling.
"We feel very strongly that it was the correct decision," Eye said.
Plaintiff Thomasine Ross agreed.
"I'm elated by the fact that it went our way," Ross said. "I think that the results will be that the trafficway should not pass along there."
hoping the impact statements also would be in the plaintiffs' favor.
Tim Orrick, the county's attorney, said the defendants had not decided whether to appeal.
"We're still in the process of assessing the court's order. We'll determine whether an appeal of the ruling is viable." he said.
Even without an appeal, the county intends to complete the remaining five miles of the trafficway because it believes the route is beneficial, Orrick said.
UNKNOWN VEHICLES
However, with the delay caused by this decision, the costs of the trafficway may increase by as much as $3 million from the projected $80 million to $85 million. (2rckd said)
"Our No. 1 goal is to explore options that would allow for eventual construction." he said.
For now, his main concern is that the judie's order is followed.
Should the county appeal, Eye said he would be ready.
"We want to make sure that the wetlands are protected, that Haskell's interests are protected," he said. "As someone said long ago, 'The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.' The same is true with the South Lawrence Trafficway."
A federal order ends construction on the eastern portion of the Lawrence Trafficway. Native Americans and environmentalists were concerned the thoroughfare would harm the area and interfere with religious ceremonies
Mormon youth turn to Gospel at camps
Campers visit University from as far as Samoa
By Lauren Dials
Kansan staff writer
Mormon youth from around the world are gathering at the University of Kansas for a week-long church camp. Participants have come from as far away as Samoa and as close as Kansas City.
About 300 teens arrived Monday to take part in the camp, which is divided into two age groups. Fifteen-to 18-year-olds attend Especially for Youth, while campers between 12 and 14 are participating in Boys' World of Adventure or Girls' Academy.
The 27-year-old program, based at Brigham Young University, takes place in more than 20 cities across the United States and Canada each summer. In all, about 30,000 youth participate each summer.
Gordon said attendance has increased since 1990.
FREDERICK J. BURGESS
"We've had a remarkable turnout over the past several years," said Corbin Gordon, Brigham Young University senior and Especially for Youth coordinator. "I've been doing this for three years, and I've seen it grow a lot."
As the demand for the program increased, the program was forced to find facilities large enough to accommodate the large numbers of people. That is one of the reasons the University was chosen for this year's camp.
"The focus is to teach the youth how the gospel of Jesus Christ can enhance every aspect of their lives," Gordon said. "We've designed our program so that it provides upliftment in all areas of their lives. We deal with family, peer pressure and dating and we teach them that in all things they can turn to Christ and be uplifted and strengthened."
"We've been very impressed with KU's conference staff," Gordon said. "The facilities are some of the best we've ever seen, and we've been to a lot of universities."
This year's theme, "Treasure the Truth," is based on a verse from the Book of Mormon. Gordon hopes that the theme will help to teach the participants to treasure parts of their lives that might be taken for granted, such as family and friends, scriptures and being a member of the church.
"We try to locate ourselves in areas where we can be reached by anyone who wants to come," Gordon said.
The University's location also was a factor.
Three hundred Mormon teens participate in camp games and activities held at the University this week.
attending her fourth summer in the Especially for Youth program.
Because she'll be too old next year, this is Duncan's last year to participate in the camp. But she said she hoped someday to become a counselor.
"It's really fun," Duncan said. "We learn a lot in our classes, and we get to meet a lot of different people. It's a pretty different experience."
The Mormon Church was located in Missouri before moving to Utah, and camp participants will be visiting three historic Mormon sites in Missouri. On Friday, the youth will visit the Liberty jail, where Joseph Smith, the religion's founder, was jailed. They will also visit Far West, a town originally established by Mormons, and Adaom-ondi-alaman, which translated means "Adam in the place of God," the place where Mormon's believe the Garden of Eden was located.
Dial-in account renewal
Cost: $60 for the 1997-98 academic year; $30for the first half only.
Deadline: Aug. 31

Renewal date for Web use privilege nears
Services not reactivated by Aug.31 will be canceled
By Crystal Honores Kansan staff writer
More than 1,600 KU students and faculty paid to be connected to the World Wide Web from their homes this past year.
Well, it is time to pay again.
If users do not renew their dial-in accounts before Aug. 31, their services will be discontinued.
"They are going to be very distraught when their accounts get cut off," said Jeree Catlin, supervisor of training for academic computing services.
Accounts can be renewed for $60 for the 1997-98 academic year.
But there is no need to trudge down to the Computer Center. Accounts can be renewed on the Internet at: http://www.co.ukans.edu/account.htm
There are two options at this Web site. Users can renew accounts annually or they can chose to have the account renewed automatically each year.
After an account is renewed, the user will be billed $30 for the first half of the academic year.
This price was set by the provost and the vice chancellor for information services, said Mary Ann Munsch, assistant director of information technology services.
Half periods run from June 1 through Dec.
31, and from Jan. 1 through July 31, 1998.
The $30 fee allows 50 hours online per month. Users will be charged 50 cents per hour for each additional hour.
Account owners who do not renew their accounts before Aug. 31 will have to pay full price for the half period to get a new account.
The dial-in account program is run jointly by Academic Computing Services and by Networking and Telecommunications. Catlin said that the program was designed to be supported by fees from subscriptions.
There were about 600 accounts in the 1995-96 academic year, Catlin said. She said that she did not foresee a decrease in interest in the service.

"I am interested to meet other student leaders and to learn from their experiences," he said.
other student leaders from the Midwest were selected to attend the seminar, which was organized and funded by Project Interchange, an educational Institute organized by the American Jewish Committee.
Sullivan will leave Aug. 5 for New York where he will meet the other U.S. student leaders. The group will depart for Israel on Aug. 6 and return on Aug. 15.. The 11 participants come from colleges in the Midwest.
The group will spend the seminar learning from Palestinian, Arab and Israeli students about the conflict in the Middle East, the Jewish culture in Israel and the Israeli government.
Sullivan said that he was impressed that the program was offering different viewpoints.
Andrea Rifkind, associate director of Project Interchange said that one of the goals of the institute was to promote tolerance.
"We really believe that our participants should be able to form their own opinions on the conflict." Rifkind said. "We hope students can integrate this into their roles as leaders."
Sullivan said that this was the first time he had had the opportunity to meet other student body leaders. He said he was interested in what the student issues were at other universities and how the student leaders dealt with those issues.
"There are a lot of differences between each university's student government," he said. "But student issues tend to be the same across the board."
Riffkind said that in the past the seminar had been successful in promoting greater cultural sensitivity and teaching students the art of compromise.
"We hope they gain insight from the Middle-East peace process and gain insight from the other students in the program," she said.

Ex-Arkansas governor is granted trial delay
(USPS 650-640)
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Citing Jim Guy Tucker's health problems following a liver transplant, a federal judge yesterday granted an indefinite delay in the former Arkansas governor's second fraud trial.
Tucker, who resigned last year and underwent a liver transplant on Christmas Day, is charged with two others in plotting to hide profits from a multimillion-dollar cable television deal.
U.S. District Judge Stephen M.
Reasoner cited reports from three
of Tucker's doctors who described
his medical condition as precarious
and doubted he could help with his
defense or withstand a lengthy trial.
Tucker was convicted last year on one fraud and one conspiracy count in a Whitewater trial with James McDougal and McDougal' s ex-wife, Susan. Tucker was sentenced to 18 months of home detention and four years of probation.
The ruling left unresolved motions by co-defendants William Marks and John Haley. The judge previously rejected Haley's request for a separate trial but indicated he might reconsider if Tucker was not ready for trial on Sept. 22.
Marks joined Tucker's request for a delay, saying the trial should be continued until such time as Tucker is medically able to testify.
Greenspan's comment sends market skyward
WASHINGTON — Calling the economy exceptional, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan indicated there is no need to boost interest rates to fight inflation. That was all Wall Street needed to hear
10
Alan Greenspan
to send stocks and bonds soaring.
The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 154.93 points to a record high of 8,061.65.
The ever-cautious Greenspan sought
yesterday to strike a balance in delivering his midyear report to Congress. He said while he saw no evidence of increased inflation, the central bank was on the alert for faster-than-expected economic growth that could require the brake of rate hikes down the road.
But analysts and investors viewed Greenspan's overall view about the economy as upbeat, especially because he gave no signal that any interest-rate increase was imminent.
"The fear of Fed tightening has been removed, at least for the foreseeable future, and that means the financial-market horses can run free and unrestrained," said Sung Won Sohn, chief economist at Norwest Corp. in Minneapolis.

Ten killed in rock slide in South African mine
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — A minor earthquake set off an underground rock slide, killing 10 people and leaving eight missing yesterday in a South African gold mine.
The 3.7-magnitude tremor rattled the Harbeebestfontein gold mine, 110 miles southwest of Johannesburg, Monday night, said Julian Gwillim, representative for mine operator Aygold Limited.
Thirty miners were taken to a local hospital and another 46 were treated for minor injuries at a mine medical station. Gwilim said.
"Rescue operations are continuing and will not cease until all the missing men have been located," he said yesterday.

South Africa is the world's leading gold producer and has some of the deepest mines.
Courthalts trafficway
Impact study must be done
By Paul Eakins
Kansan staff writer
A federal order put the brakes on the eastern leg of the South Lawrence Trafficway last Thursday.
U. S. District Judge Tom Van Bebler ruled that a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement would have to be completed before work could continue on the trafficway.
The order was the result of a lawsuit brought by Native Americans and environmentalists against the Douglas County Commission and the Kansas Department of Transportation. The Federal Highway Administration also was named in the suit because of its involvement in the project.
The plaintiffs were concerned about the environmental impact the trafficway would have on the Baker Wetlands and the areas used by Haskell Indian Nations University and other Native American groups for religious ceremonies.
The plaintiffs and their attorney, Bob Eye said they were happy with the ruling.
"We feel very strongly that it was the correct decision." Eye said.
Plaintiff Thomasine Ross agreed.
hoping the impact statements also would be in the plaintiffs' favor.
"I'm elated by the fact that it went our way," Ross said. "I think that the results will be that the trafficway should not pass along there."
Even without an appeal, the county intends to complete the remaining five miles of the trafficway because it believes the route is beneficial, Orrick said.
Tim Orrick, the county's attorney,
said the defendants had not decided whether to anneal.
"We're still in the process of assessing the court's order. We'll determine whether an appeal of the ruling is viable," he said.
MUTINIERS MÉTULLES
DALY
However, with the delay caused by this decision, the costs of the trafficway may increase by as much as $3 million from the projected $80 million to $85 million. Orrick said.
"Our No. 1 goal is to explore options that would allow for eventual construction," he said.
For now, his main concern is that the judge's order is followed.
A federal order ends construction on the eastern portion of the Lawrence Trafficway. Native Americans and environmentalists were concerned the thoroughfare would harm the area and interfere with religious ceremonies
Should the county appeal, Eye said he would be ready.
"We want to make sure that the wetlands are protected, that Haskell's interests are protected," he said. "As someone said long ago, the price of liberty is eternal vigilance." The same is true with the South Lawrence Trafficway.
Mormon youth turn to Gospel at camps
Campers visit University from as far as Samoa
By Lauren Dials
Kansan staff writer
Mormon youth from around the world are gathering at the University of Kansas for a week-long church camp. Participants have come from as far away as Samoa and as close as Kansas City.
About 300 teens arrived Monday to take part in the camp, which is divided into two age groups. Fifteen- to 18-year-olds attend Especially for Youth, while campers between 12 and 14 are participating in Boys' World of Adventure or Girls' Academy.
The 27-year-old program, based at Brigham Young University, takes place in more than 20 cities across the United States and Canada each summer. In all, about 30,000 youth participate each summer.
I'M NOT TALKING. I'M DANCING. I'M DANCING.
"We've had a remarkable turnout over the past several years," said Corbin Gordon, Brigham Young University senior and Especially for Youth coordinator. "I've been doing this for three years, and I've seen it grow a lot."
Gordon said attendance has increased since 1990.
As the demand for the program increased, the program was forced to find facilities large enough to accommodate the large numbers of people. That is one of the reasons the University was chosen for this year's camp.
"We've been very impressed with KU's conference staff." Gordon said. "The facilities are some of the best we ever seen, and we've been to a lot of universities."
"The focus is to teach the youth how the gospel of Jesus Christ can enhance every aspect of their lives," Gordon said. "We've designed our program so that it provides upliftment in all areas of their lives. We deal with family, peer pressure and dating and we teach them that in all things they can turn to Christ and be uplifted and strengthened."
"We try to locate ourselves in areas where we can be reached by anyone who wants to come," Gordon said.
This year's theme, "Treasure the Truth," is based on a verse from the Book of Mormon. Gordon hopes that the theme will help to teach the participants to treasure parts of their lives that might be taken for granted, such as family and friends, scriptures and being a member of the church.
The University's location also was a factor.
Three hundred Mormon teens participate in camp games and activities held at the University this week.
Michelle Duncan, Valley Center resident, is
attending her fourth summer in the Especially for Youth program.
Because she'll be too old next year, this is Duncan's last year to participate in the camp. But she said she hoped someday to become a counselor.
"It's really fun," Duncan said. "We learn a lot in our classes, and we get to meet a lot of different people. It's a pretty different experience."
The Mormon Church was located in Missouri before moving to Utah, and camp participants will be visiting three historic Mormon sites in Missouri. On Friday, the youth will visit the Liberty jail, where Joseph Smith, the religion's founder, was jailed. They will also visit Far West, a town originally established by Mormons, and Adaom-ndi-alaman, which translated means "Adam in the place of God," the place where Mormon's believe the Garden of Eden was located.

Gingrich to focus on tax cuts instead of leadership changes
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — With turmoil swirling in the ranks, House Speaker Newt Gingrich said yesterday that he favors no immediate changes in the GOP leadership despite questions about the role played by top lieutenants in a failed attempt to topple him from power.
Gingrich said he would prefer to keep the focus on the tax cut instead of any challenges to the leadership, said his press secretary, Christina Martin. She said the message had been sent to the speaker's loyalists in advance of today's regularly scheduled closed-door caucus of Republicans.
Other lawmakers said feelings were running high for Majority Leader Dick Armey, GOP Whip Tom DeLay and conference Chairman John Bocher to be called to account this week for their actions earlier this month when Gingrich survived an attempt on his power.
Gingrich made his feelings known as the No. 2 GOP leader, Armney, pleased his innocence in a letter to the Republican rank and file.
"For me, I just want my good name back," wrote Armey, who has consistently minimized his own role in the GOP intrigue. "At this point, I couldn't care less whether I'll be speaker, majority leader or dogcatcher, but I'll be damned if I'll
let my name and honor be destroyed."
Gingrich last week accepted the resignation of New York Rep. Bill Paxon after questions were raised about his role in discussions
New Gingrich
with a small group of dissidents about forcing a change at the top
Martin said Gingrich's views were about additional changes related to the present, and shouldn't be interpreted to hold any meaning for the future.
Still, Gingrich's decision reflected a judgment that he and other Republicans would be better served by focusing their energies on reaching a compromise with the White House on major tax cuts and balanced-budget legislation. Party strategists believe President Clinton's signature on those bills would give Republicans a solid record of accomplishment for the 1998 election campaign.
clear that Arney was trying to shore up his standing.
Paxon served in an appointed position within the leadership, while Armey, DeLay and Boehner were elected and can be replaced only by a vote of the rank and file. By his letter and accompanying phone calls to lawmakers, it was
He acknowledged twice having attended meetings with other members of the leadership where scenarios were discussed in the event Gingrich fell from power. He also said that before a climatic series of meetings occurred with the dissidents, he had told Gingrich through an aide that if there was an attempt to throw Gingrich out, they would have to throw him out too.
At the same time, Armey's letter underscores the finger-pointing that has flourished among members of the leadership in the last week.
"I apologize for my initial belief that the dissidents were solely responsible for starting this mess," he said in a declaration that cast blame in the direction of Delay, Paxon, and Boehner without mentioning them by name.
The relationship between the two Texans, Armey and DeLay, seemed particularly strained.
"Never have I said that I was in favor of any plan to remove the speaker, and no member can truthfully say they ever heard me say that, because I didn't," Armey said. Numerous sources have quoted DeLay as telling the dissidents at one late-night meeting that the leadership was ready to help overthrow the speaker.
New pollution rules won't cause farmers big changes
WASHINGTON — Trying to forestall Congressional efforts to delay or kill new pollution regulations, Environmental Protection Agency chief Carol Browner said yesterday that the rules would prevent $500 million in crop damage.
The Associated Press
Agricultural businesses and farm groups have been among the loudest critics of the new regulations, which critics contend could force changes in farm practices, such as plowing that can stir up lots of dust.
"My office has been literally bombarded in the last six months by farmers who are very concerned about these regulations," Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., said. "They're concerned because they already operate under so much regulation."
But Browner told the Senate Agriculture Committee that large industrial polluters such as power plants were the main focus of the tougher rules on smog-causing
ozone and soot. The rules, enacted last week, will be implemented during the next decade.
"If agricultural production is any part of the air pollution problem at all, it is at best a very small part." Browner said. "The fears and concerns we've heard about the effects on agriculture have been based on misconceptions and misinformation."
One benefit of lower pollution will be higher yields for crops that are damaged by ozone, such as soybeans, wheat, cotton and peanuts. Browner said. In addition, the rules may increase demand for clean-burning gasolines containing ethanol, which is made from corn.
The agency has no interest in rules that restrict farmers' field work, ammonia emissions from animal wastes or burning on private land, Browner said.
"These new air-quality standards will not require any farmer to change the way he or she does his or her job," Browner said.
Nonetheless, lawmakers already
have introduced legislation that would delay the regulations by as long as four years. Opponents said the research was not conclusive and that the benefits might not outweigh higher farm costs for energy and transportation.
"The present approach will only serve to put American agriculture at a competitive disadvantage with other countries and put agricultural producers out of work," said Adam Sharp of the American Farm Bureau Federation.
Farmers also are worried that because states will implement the rules, the agency's promises that it will focus on large industrial polluters might not come true.
Browner, however, said it would not be in a state's interests to focus attention on agriculture, which causes virtually no ozone problems and only about 5 percent of soot pollution nationwide.
"Our approach kind of sets the tone," she said. "The states aren't going to do something that is not effective."

Don't wait for your grades; pick up an ARTS form ASAP
Students can ease panic of report cards by finding out early
By Daniel Ethan Thompson
Kansan staff writer
Waiting for grades to show up in the mailbox can be stressful. But some KU students have discovered a hole in the system that may eliminate the wait.
Students have discovered that they can have their Academic Record Tracking System forms printed out at the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Grades will appear on the form as soon as they've been entered into University of Kansas records.
"We don't consider it a bad thing," said Diana Fox, assistant director for the University's Undergraduate Services. "But it makes it very busy."
Students in any college may obtain ARTS forms from their school's offices. ARTS forms are offered to all students at all times except in the School of Business, where the forms are withheld until after grades have been mailed.

forms early.
Unfortunately, not all ARTS forms are correct, said Ann Bakerink, director of academic services in the School of Engineering.
"The grades appear on ARTS forms before the grade point average is readjusted." she said.
While the school has no policy about printing out ARTS forms, Bakerink said that students were alerted to the discrepancies and the GPA on the form was blacked out.
The College is one of the few schools that has the employees and resources available to handle the many requests it gets from its almost 13.000 students.
Jessica Miller, Garnett sophomore and Undergraduate Services office aide, said that this spring, at least 20 to 25 people came in each day between the end of the term and when grade cards were mailed.
Officials in CLAS said the office staff never ask questions and printed copies are free.
Prosecutors called rebuttal witnesses before they too rested their case against Kleypas, 41.
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — The defense for accused killer Gary Kleypas rested its case yesterday after attempting to show that his mental impairment when arrested made his confession to police questionable.
The Associated Press
Kleypas is charged with rape, sodomy, robbery, burglary and capital murder in the death of Pittsburg State University student Carrie Williams. Kleypas, a fellow student, has served prison time in Missouri for murder.
Kleypas trial rests; jury to deliberate
The Etc. Shop
Closing arguments were scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. today, after which the case will go to the jury.
Ekkehard Othmer, a psychiatrist, testified yesterday for the defense. He had interviewed Kleypas and reviewed police reports about the March 30, 1996, stabbing death of Williams, 20.
Authorities said Kleypas confessed to Williams's slaying shortly after being arrested. He had been disoriented and covered in his own blood when officers found him several hours after the slaying in a Springfield, Mo., motel.
Othmer testified that Kleypas didn't give officers an accurate account of the killing, but rather, he picked up hints from the questioning and incorporated those into a confession.
Another psychiatrist, John Wisner, said individuals with a history of alcohol and drug abuse were subject to memory loss and even may have false memories. Defense attorneys asserted Kleypas has a history of drug and alcohol use.
Interviewing people who have had a blackout is difficult, Wisner said.
"The problem with getting somebody to remember when they've had a blackout is the same as putting memory in there," he said. "If you have an agenda, it's very hard not to let that out."

American government doesn't care about human rights, liberty in China
For those looking for some tough U.S. measures on China's human rights record, the latest official line on how best to deal with China definitely would not be reassuring.
Robert Rubin, U.S. Treasury Secretary, recently advocated a "constructive economic engagement" with China, calling its domestic policies its own affairs.
And he wasn't alone. Gen. Colin Powell, who was in Hong Kong recently, reiterated this opinion.
Of course, Powell has no official position. But, as one of the most respected public figures in government, when Powell talks, a decent governmental figure talks.
For the cynics of American foreign policy, years of hypocrisy and doubletalk slowly were being unwound as the
Chinese interests will stay American interests as long as money keeps flowing in
real official position on China finally was being broadcast: Beating up students is bad, but let's hope it does not happen again.
The last thing a prosperous trade relationship needs is remembrance of dead students and blood on the streets.
And as long as Americans don't see the atrocities on television, why should they care? After all, they are the biggest beneficiaries of cheap Chinese labor.
and ammunition in their kitty. It only goes to prove the Chinese are good learners — the inspiration drawn upon has been so exquisitely American.
Never mind that China is helping all rogue governments stockpile arms
Never mind the Chinese were trying in their small way to invade the White House.
Politics is all about money, and the Chinese will be more discreet next time. They still are learning, after all.
As long as the dollars keep trickling in and the Germans are kept at bay from lucrative economic deals, Chinese interests will be American interests.
That is the way it is, and as long as China maintains its power, that is the way it will always be.
Viva America.

Trafficway decision was correct
When the decision in the South Lawrence Trafficway case was handed down last Thursday, requiring a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement before further work could be done, many opponents of the road must have been jumping for joy.
It would not be surprising if a few Douglas County commissioners had to suppress sobs or wipe back tears. Once again, the trafficway had been held up. Once again, the commission's pipe dream of a glorious route around Lawrence, diverting all excess traffic, freeing the city of crime and curing cancer had to be put on hold.
Damn the fates!
First conceived 12 years ago, the road has encountered a gaudlet of problems and obstacles. Now, the number of obstacles are increasing, as is the cost
There are issues more important at stake than the flow of traffic in Lawrence
of the trafficway. The latest projected costs for the trafficway, before any increases caused by litigation delays: $80 to $85 million.
Perhaps the County should consider other routes. Oh yes, we know they have found that 31st Street is the ONLY viable route, but they could at least PRETEND to examine the route south of the Wakarusa River. So far, they have not studied it at all.
damage an important environmental resource, the Baker Wetlands, and infringes on the religious rights of individual citizens, Native Americans, alienating them from the community, then it's a problem.
The County Commission needs to open its eyes to the needs of all of its citizens, not just the majority. Sure, the road may be a great thing for the community, but when it potentially may
The court decision was the correct one, and hopefully the people of Douglas County, the commission, the Kansas Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration will understand this.
The students, faculty and alumni of Haskell Indian Nations University are Native Americans who have been historically oppressed and historically have had their rights trampled upon.
Let's not precipitate Native American distrust of government, nor continue to blatantly disregard their needs and wishes.

Voters: Run from Ryun if he runs for governor
The word around the political campfire is that Jim Ryun may be considering a run for governor. I have one word to describe that idea. Please
There are a few qualities that members of Congress should have, but above all they need strength of leadership and strong ideas if they are going
Have one word to describe them.
kyun has about as much business running for governor as, well, as he has being a congressman. A bad representative doesn't hurt the good people of Kansas much. But a governor who can't handle the job — and these people have won before — can screw things up.
Ryun's personal life provides ample evidence he is not the best choice for Congress. The way he raised his children is the most telling example: Instead of sending their kids to public school, Ryun and his wife decided to home school their children. Rather than confront and correct whatever evils the children were exposed to at school, Ryun thought it better to shield them from such influence altogether. Normally that's admirable. But if Ryun couldn't trust himself to teach his kids how to deal with bad ideas, then how can voters trust him to deal with bad ideas in Congress?
The rational-maximizer approach makes me feel better about Ryun as a congressman, if not as a parent. A member of congress gets about a $650,000 office budget and represents one person for every dollar. Who wouldn't pay a dollar to keep Ryun in Washington? Heck, make the creatin an ambassador and ship him across the drink. Let me be the first to offer a one-way ticket.
to make a difference. Ryun has neither, but he always is going to vote the party line. If he simply keeps his mouth shut and his nose clean, conservative Kansans will re-elect him as long as he runs. No pun intended.
While Kansas can afford a weak congressman, we cannot afford a weak governor. The business end of running Kansas, something Graves has mastered, takes a high level of skill in financial management and policy development.
Being a good governor takes a lot more than mere name recognition. Bill Graves worked his way up through the secretary of state's office, which is not nearly as exciting or glamorous as being in Congress. In the last four years, he has proven to be an effective governor. And Graves makes Kansas look good, especially after Joan Finney's tenure. At the governor's convention, I want other governors to come to Graves and ask for advice on running the state, not come to Ryun for advice on running.
Judging from his actions, Ryun must have thought his parental teachings couldn't stand up to an eight-year-old urging a young Ryun child to use bad language or worship Satan. If Ryun's values are so paltry and his teachings so transparent, then how could he ever fight for them against
I know that all parents want the best for their children, but public schools were just fine for Ryun. God may have given you ability, Congressman Ryun, but it was Wichita East High School and KU Athletics that got you to the Olympics.
I submit that with all of its secular notions, public school is a nicer place than Congress, even if you can't pray.
It is also a job that requires one to have broad-based knowledge of complex issues, not just the New Testament, although that helps.
his congressional colleagues?
Ryun is a light-weight legislator. But he is only one vote in our congressional delegation and can't do much harm. Keep him there. While there are more qualified people for Kansans to send to Congress, there are few more qualified to send to Cedar Crest. "Run with Ryun" was his campaign slogan for his seat in congress; 'Run from Ryun' is the only response to a gubernatorial bid.

End of college career brings new possibilities
The end is not the end, but the beginning, or so I've been told. But wrapping up the only life I've known for 18 years, I'm a bit apprehensive about the end of my college career.
Preschool, elementary school, middle school, high school, college — school is all I know how to do.
My academic life began down south. Growing up with a mom who is a teacher, my school day didn't end at 3 p.m. In fact, it never ended, and still hasn't. "It's Ashley and I went, not Ashley and me went!" she'd say. Needless to say, I know my grammar.
TARA TRENARY
But being good at grammar and writing papers didn't get me into journalism. Naivete and luck did.
When I came to the University of Kansas after transferring from Auburn University, I had no intention of going into journalism, much less spending three years of my life working at the student newspaper. I wanted to be a psychologist. I can't believe it either.
But after A's in both freshman English courses, Psych. 104 and luck from a higher power (I didn't make the best grades at Auburn), I was accepted into the School of Journalism.
Thus, my journalism career began — at least my student journalism career.
I joined the summer Kansan three years ago.
I joined the summer Kansan three years ago.
As a reporter, I was a basket case. As a copy editor, I didn't quite get it. As a designer, I had some learning to do.
But one day it just kind of clicked. I understood why journalists are the way they are. And I kind of considered myself one of them — a rare breed.
But the academic career and the journalism career I have built here at the University have been short-lived. And now they are finished.
And that's not the end of it. Not only does college and the Kansan become a memory for me, but so does Lawrence.
I've grown to love this town. It's become a place I can call home, or at least a home away from home. There's always something to do: Do you want to go to a movie or a bar? Really, though, Lawrence is a nice, safe town to live in, and I'm going to miss it.
And while I'm missing college and my favorite college town, I'll be holding a memorial service for my freedom.
I don't think many of us college students appreciate what we have when we have it. The freedom of college compares to no other freedom, but so does the stress of college — and I have the stomach to prove it.
But back to ends and beginnings. The end of my college career, "Some of the best times of your life," my brother would say, and the beginning of my real career. This may not be a bad thing. Yes, college has its moments. But leaving it doesn't have to be the end. I look at it this way. Leaving college provides the opportunity for a new freedom — money. No more wondering whether I will be able to pay my rent. No more wishing I had the money to fly off on a weekend trip to the Bahamas. All of that will be possible, with the huge salary I'll be making as a journalist.
But the stress is not what is remembered. It's the freedom. It's weekends when you swear all you will do is stay in and catch up on the reading you've put off all semester, but instead you go out both nights and sleep both days and wake up Sunday wondering what happened to the weekend.
And with this new freedom comes responsibility, which I would love to avoid. But most of all, with this new freedom comes the satisfaction that I got myself to this point, and that I did it all on my own.

This is what I'm going to miss most.

Kansan editorial did not consider illegal immigrants in the United States
As a foreign student in the United States, I feel that most people have little or no understanding about immigration issues. An editorial published by the Kansan June 10 talked about how lowering the amount of immigrants allowed into the United States would hurt its economy.
Although the article had many good points, the figures it presents do not take into consideration certain facts, such as that illegal immigrants are obviously not taken into account because there is no exact statistic of them. They entered the country illegally. About this
matter, I have noticed that whenever there is a discussion about immigrants or foreigners, a distinction between illegal and legal immigrants is never made. Usually, foreigners are regarded as a single group of people, and in general there is a bad image of them.
However, legal immigrants have been admitted into the country because there is a job waiting for them, because they are educated and possess the skills necessary to fill a particular job vacancy, or because they are going to contribute to the American economy. On the other hand, illegal immigrants
can be anyone, people who have nothing to lose when migrating and most likely have little or no education at all.
There should be a lot more concern about illegal immigration. Legal immigrants are people whose only interest in migrating is to have a better life and in return contribute to the well-being of their host country. Although this means in most, if not all cases that they will have to leave behind their home country, their culture and their loved ones.

Volunteers listen advocate choices
Headquarters offers callers hope
By Kirsten Havner
Kansan staff writer
The phone rings in a three-story, pink-and-blue house on Massachusetts Street. Roshni S., Overland Park senior, answers the phone and wonders who will be on the line.
Even after a year volunteering at Headquarters Counseling Center, 1419 Massachusetts St., RoshiN, whose last name is withheld for confidentiality purposes, finds the emotional stress hard to handle.
"I have a lot of difficulty dealing with suicide. It is so intense; there's a lot of emotion," Roshi said. "Talking to someone who wants to die is a very hard thing."
Roshni is one of about 50 people who volunteer at Headquarters. The center is open 24 hours, seven days a week.
Headquarters receives a wide variety of calls: men, women and children; emotional, physical and sexual abuse victims; gay and lesbians; sometimes people who just need someone to talk to about things that are going on in their lives. There also are prank calls, Rosnhi said.
But Headquarters is geared for more than just call-in help. People also can get help on a walk-in basis. In special cases, the center can send someone to make a house-call, said Marsha Epstein, Headquarters' director.
Training to be a volunteer is an extensive two-and-a-half month, 120-hour program. Volunteers are trained to cope with their own emotions so that they are better prepared to counsel callers. Shanker said.
"The biggest challenge for me is that when I go to Headquarters I have to be ready for any type of call, no matter what my personal state," Roshini said. "It doesn't matter if I am happy, sad, stressed-out or depressed. I have to shut off my life to help anyone calls."
Epstein said Headquarters will answer questions about personal problems or questions that callers may have about friends. Others just call to find someone who can help. Headquarters has a detailed list of numbers for specific problems.
Rather than give advice, the counseling center advocates safe choices and offers callers someone who will listen to their problems.
"By talking through the situation, the caller is able to slow down and re-evaluate the situation to become better equipped to deal with the situation," Epstein said.
When Roshni has a particularly emotionally challenging call, she deals with it by talking to her shift partner and calming herself down. There are struggles, but she says she knows that the choice is ultimately up to the caller.
She said she has volunteered because it gives her a sense of helping others.
"My greatest reward is when a caller says, 'Thank you for helping me,'" she said.

The combination of fun and business sense is a characteristic Sisson said he's had since he was a child.

Sisson's store, located at 1405 Massachusetts St., reveals his eclectic interests. The shop has everything from snowboards to smoking accessories.
"Everything I do and everything I like is in this store," he said. "If I find something I like, and I think it's cool, I'll buy one for myself and get some more for the store."
The store is the result of creativity and an open opportunity. As an advertising student at the University of Kansas, Sisson said he took his sales skills outside the classroom and made a deal with the owner of a condemned building.

Pipe dream gives way to windsurfing
Phil Zone owner high on life
The window to Phil Sisson's soul can be found on the front of his store.

"The loan was supposed to be for a computer, because it's illegal to use student loans for a business," he said.
Sisson supported himself by selling tie-dyed T-shirts with the KU National Championship logo. Sisson said the shirts sold so well that he decided to take out a student loan and start a business out of his home.
The Phil Zone brought in enough revenue in 1993 that Sisson dropped out of college with only 20 hours left to earn his degree. Sisson said he wasn't interested in having a 9-to-5 job.
"It's called The Phil Zone because it's Phil's own, get it" he said.
DA KINE
The store immediately became well-known for its smoking accessories. Sisson said The Phil Zone was the first business in Lawrence to sell water pipes, pipe screens and rolling papers. However, when stores like 7th Heaven and Creation Station caught on to the trend, Sisson said his business suffered.
DOWNTOWN LAWRENCE
"Phil's gone from the store a lot, so it's important that he really trusts his workers," said Sam Osterhout, Hutchinson junior and store employee. "He even has video cameras recording during business hours to make sure no one is stealing from him."
Sisson is content with his success and doesn't think he'll change as he gets older. He plans to stay in Lawrence and to keep bringing more of his toys and hobbies into his store.
Sam Ostrouth, Hutchinson junior and Phil Zone employee, helps customer Callinn Drouin, Lawrence resident, with a purchase while Chris Long. Hutchinson senior, inspects incense. The Phil Zone, 1405 Massachusetts St., sells a variety of knick-knacks, clothes and athletic gear.
He now has three employees, and Sisson said that he received job applications every day. However, he is selective about who he hires.
Sisson said aging was his only fear. At 31, Sisson lives alone with his cat, Riff, and said his biggest flaw was personal relationships.
Sisson said he decided to add a surfer shop, fully equipped with snowboards, windsurfing boards, wet suits and skateboards. Sisson said the windsurfing boards were his biggest seller.
"I don't really care if sales have gone down with the pipes," he said. "Because now I want to sell windsurfing and educate everyone on how fun it is."
So Sisson introduced Lawrence to a new toy. "I had to expand to keep up. A demand for windsurfing was starting to hit Lawrence," he said. "Where there is a demand, I supply. I learned that much in school."
"Everyone copies my ideas," he said. "It's like Big Joe corporation moved into town."
"Riff is about the only consistent friend I have in the world," he said.
"If I had a traditional life, I would have a boring life, and I wouldn't be happy," he said.

Geeks on Wheels to expand aid
By Crystal Honores
Kansan staff writer
Computer users throughout the Midwest who are tangled in their computer cables can pick up the phone and call Geeks on Wheels for help.
Technicians for Geeks on Wheels, a 1-year-old company, makes house calls for computer owners and untangles hairy computer cable messes, installs programs and consults for $45 an hour.
The company already services Lawrence, Kansas City, Topeka and surrounding areas. They also have technicians in Fort Collins, Colo., and Greeley, Colo. They are cur-
reently looking for employees in Manhattan, Columbia, Mo., and Boulder. Colo.
Director David Greenbaum said that the company's goal was to become a major chain.
Geeks on Wheels was started by Dan Simons and is owned by the same company as the Lawrence Journal-World and Sunflower Cablevision.
Customers said that Geeks on Wheels was fast and convenient.
Stacy Scafe's computer manufacturer told her that her computer was irreparable unless she added more memory. Others recommended the Lawrence resident buy a new computer.
"I felt that that was incorrect information," she said. "I don't have five grand for a new computer, with three small children."
Scafe said that she was fortunate to find Geeks on Wheels, and that they were able to fix the problem in one hour.
Greenbaum said most of the technicians had not studied computer science in college.
He said Geeks on Wheels average five to six calls a day in Lawrence and three to four calls a day outside of the city.
Installation accounts for approximately 50 percent of their calls, while emergency breakdowns were about 25 percent.
Based on the number of calls and price per hour that Greenbaum cited, Geeks on Wheels' gross revenues are averaging about $105,000 per year.
Most calls require some advanced computer knowledge, but Greenbaum said that they have been called to some homes and discovered the owner did not plug in the computer.
But no one should feel like an idiot just because they don't understand their computer, he said.
"Some professor may not have much experience with computers but can split an atom," he said.

Greenbaum would not cite revenues, but he said that Geeks on Wheels had already surpassed last year's earnings.

Clinton urges higher Medicare premiums
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Clinton pledged yesterday to shield Republican lawmakers who support a politically explosive plan for raising Medicare costs for the most affluent elderly. GOP reaction ranged from optimism to suspicion; the proposal's fate remained dim.
In remarks to reporters, Clinton said a new mechanism he designed for collecting the higher premiums would ease GOP worries that voters might interpret the boost as a tax increase.
And he promised a political truce with legislators who back the idea.
Bill Clinton
which has driven a schism between Senate Republicans who like it and House Republicans who detest it. The Senate included a different version of the proposal
---
in its bill aimed at balancing the budget in 2002, but the House did not because its members fear voter retribution next year.
"I would be happy to defend the
vote of any member of Congress, Democrat or Republican, who votes for this," Clinton said.
White House representative Mike McCurry said this did not mean Clinton would campaign for Republicans who support the plan.
But, McCurry added, "If the president says publicly that you made your vote, it was a good vote, it makes it a lot harder for a Democratic candidate, or a Republican candidate for that matter, to attack."
House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., was among several GOP leaders who welcomed Clinton's comments, saying, "I thought he was trying to be very positive."
But others were less receptive. They said the president's words would not handcuff other Democratic leaders or groups representing the elderly and labor from wielding the issue against Republicans in the 1998 elections. Democrats successfully used attempted GOP Medicare cuts against Republican candidates in 1996.
"They did this on Medicare last time," said Rep. John Linder, R-Ga., chairman of the National Republican Campaign Committee, the House GOP's campaign arm. "They'll do it again."
None of the groups Republicans fear would use the issue against
them would promise yesterday to ignore it during the next campaign.
"At this point, we haven't taken any issue on or off the table," said Dan Sallick, representative for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the party's campaign arm in the House. "At the end of the day, our job is to elect Democrats, and we'll use issues we think are helpful."
And John Rother, chief lobbyist for the giant American Association of Retired Persons, said the group had not decided if votes on higher Medicare premiums would be included in the mailings the association sends its members during the
election season.
"Everyone should know how their elected representatives voted," he said, adding, "Certainly this would be high profile."
In addition, many Republicans said Clinton's plan still looked like a tax increase because upper-income elderly would be required to mail a separate form — and payment — with their tax returns to the Treasury by April 15, the day income-tax returns are due. The money would be placed in a Medicare trust fund.
"It looks and smells like a tax," said Sen. Phil Gramm, R-Texas, who proposed a version that has the Department of Health and Human Services administering the plan.
Ferry sails as fishermen end blockade
Canadians accuse Alaskans of violating salmon agreement
The Associated Press
PRINCE RUPERT, British Columbia
PRINCE RUPERT, British Columbia — After blockading an Alaska-bound ferry in port for three days, angry Canadian salmon fishermen let the ship continue north late Monday.
The Malaspina, with 135 passengers and 88 vehicles on board, pulled away shortly after midnight Central time.
The decision to end the protest came two hours after fishermen met with Canadian Fisheries Minister David Anderson, who urged fishermen to let the ferry pass so officials from Canada and the United States could resume negotiations on a salmon quota dispute that sparked the blockade.
Canadian fishermen argue that
Alaskan fleets are intercepting thousands of sockeye salmon as the fish head for spawning stream in British Columbia.
Anderson said that he had flown over the Noyes Island area along the southern Alaska coast and that he had spotted about 50 U.S.-flagged boats catching salmon in violation of the Pacific Salmon Treaty. The treaty has been in limbo since negotiations broke down several years ago.
But Anderson said the ferry blockade worsened the situation.
Earlier Monday, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police gave the fishermen copies of a court order issued Sunday. The order convinced some of the fishermen to abandon the blockade.
The dispute centers in part on Alaskans who catch sockeye salmon bound for Canadian rivers and streams.
"The fish are being targeted before they get here. There's only so many catchable fish, and the accessible fish are being taken in Alaska," said Bill
Troughton, a Prince Rupert fisherman who participated in the protest. "I'm at the point where I don't care. Just shut the Americans out from going through our inside water. It's our water."
The Canadians want Anderson to restart failed salmon talks with the United States and allow northern British Columbia fishermen to increase their take of Fraser River sockeye.
The Canadians also want assurances that they will not be held accountable for any damages from the protest. Alaska Attorney General Bruce Bothelo said the state would sue the fishermen in Canadian court.
Bob King, a representative for Alaska Gov. Tony Knowles, said the state was
Bothelo said he could not give a compensation amount that the state would seek. But he said that crew overtime costs were accruing at $1,200 an hour and that the Alaska Marine Highway System was incurring scheduling costs.
considering skipping Prince Rupert as a ferry port if Canadian authorities could not guarantee safe passage.
The incident prompted some tough language from the State Department.
"The United States has protested and continues to protest this blockade," representative Nicholas Burns said. "And we also protest the refusal of Canadian federal authorities to stop the blockade or to enforce the court injunction."
The ferry blockade snarled tourist traffic along the Pacific Northwest coast at the height of the travel season.
The marine highway system has six ferries working along the Alaska's Southeast Panhandle, with two more serving the rest of the state.
"There's no ferries laying around we can just pull out and throw on line," said Bob Provost, who heads Alaska Inland Boatmen's Union of the Pacific, which represents most ferry workers. "They're all pretty maxed out with all the traffic this time of year."
Man enraged after burning feet on roast
The Associated Press
SANTA MONICA, Calif. — A man flew into a rage and choked his roommate after a pot roast fell out of the oven and burned his bare feet, police said.
Roman Felix Kasprzcki, 55, was arrested for investigation of assault.
Kasprzki apparently was drunk on Saturday when he yanked open the oven door as the 51-year-old woman he lives with was cooking a roast, police said. The roast fell on his feet.
"He became enraged and walked across the apartment, violently choking her so she could barely breathe." Sgt. Gary F. Gallinot said.
The woman was not seriously hurt, but Kasprzcki was treated at a hospital for second-degree burns on his feet.

BOSTON — Scientists have grown replacement organs for sheep, rats and rabbits using the animals' own cells and lab molds to help the tissue take shape — a technique that could be used someday to make spare parts for people.
Drink Specials
"As surgeons, that's what we dream about — having a shelf-full of body parts," said Anthony Atala, the physician who pioneered the technique with Dario Fauza.
Scientists know how to grow skin and cartilage. Two Harvard researchers claim to be the first to have grown animal tissue from a variety of organs, including the heart, kidneys and bladder.
New method uses fetal cells biodegradable lab structures
Harvard physicians grow animal organs
The Associated Press
Ruff's curiosity three years ago formed the basis of a study at the Mayo Clinic that suggests fen-phen causes serious heart and lung damage.
This month the Food and Drug Administration warned patients to get their doctors' advice before continuing the combination of fenfluamine and phentermine and asked doctors to report any heart valve abnormalities.
FARGO, N.D. — Something strange was going on. Twice in the same day, echo cardiogram technician Pam Ruff looked at grainy images on a video screen and saw women whose hearts had deformed valves unlike any Ruff had seen before.
Their new method — to be presented today at a conference of the British Association of Pediatric Surgeons in Istanbul, Turkey — already has been used for sheep blad-
Then, under lab ventilation hoods, technicians separate different types of cells and place them in nutrient-rich solutions.
They operate on the fetus two-thirds of the way through pregnancy. Through small incisions, they lower a surgical camera and instruments into the womb. Guided by a video monitor, they remove a pea-size sample of bladder. Drugs are used to prevent the mother from going into labor.
Next, Atala and Fauza build the organ by draping fragile tissue over biodegradable scaffolds. The cells know which way to orient themselves to each other and grow until they fill out the scaffold.
Ruff was curious, so she talked to the women.
Fetal testing on humans will begin within a year. The researchers hope the procedure will be approved for routine use within five years.
Study suggests diet drugs taken together cause heart problems
The Associated Press
Although the FDA never has approved taking fenfluramine and phentermine together, about 6 million Americans use the drugs together last year.
ders and windpipes, a kidney for a rat, and leg muscles for a rabbit. The spare organs were built with tissue taken from both grown and fetal animals.
With the solution, a sample the size of a square centimeter could produce enough tissue in two months to cover two football fields.
The two doctors said their greatest hope for the technique was birth defect correction. They have developed a method for growing replacement organs for still-developing fetuses.
Doctors can detect birth defects using ultrasound as early as 3 1/2 months into pregnancy.
For example, if an unborn child has a malformed trachea, surgeons could extract some of those cells, grow a new windpipe in the lab and have it ready to be transplanted when the baby is born.
Both women were taking a combination of diet drugs known as fen-nhe.
The FDA is reviewing 49 cases of heart damage,10 of which required surgery. At least two patients have died in cases linked to fen-phen.
The procedure is tricky and requires both delicate laboratory work and microscopic surgery inside the womb.
Within six weeks of the surgery, the new bladder is ready to be transplanted immediately after birth.
Doctors said more research was needed to prove whether the drugs caused heart or lung problems, and many physicians said some risk might be necessary when trying to help severely obese people. Drug manufacturers have said the results were inconclusive but that they did not recommend combining the drugs.

Irish peace talks not dead
IRA inclusion rankles leaders
The Associated Press
BELFAST, Northern Ireland — Northern Ireland's most hard-line Protestant leader, saying the Irish Republican Army's new cease-fire doesn't offer real concessions, still declared hope for peace talks yesterday.
The Rev. Ian Paisley, leader of the Democratic Unionist Party, said after meeting Prime Minister Tony Blair in London his government was a slave to the blackmall of IRA violence.
The IRA-allied Sinn Fein party "has made it clear that they're not giving up a bullet, and that they're not giving up their commitment to get the British out of Ireland," Paisley said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "And that means they want to get me out of Ireland because I'm a British. They're not giving up anything!"
Paisley vowed he would never sit
down with Sinn Fein. Blair has invited the party to join peace talks when they resume in earnest Sept. 15, if the IRA cease-fire that began Sunday holds until then.
Paisley's intransigence and other protests from inside Protestant ranks are heaping pressure on David Trimble, leader of the Ulster Unionists — Northern Ireland's largest Protestant party — who is still committed to the talks.
Paisley urged all politicians determined to maintain Northern Ireland's union with Britain to withdraw from the talks before Sinn Fein arrives.
"You can't write me out of the picture, because I speak for the vast majority of unionist people in Northern Ireland," he said.
The Orange Order, the long-dominant Protestant fraternal group linked with Trimble's party, also urged him to withdraw from the talks.
But liberal Anglican, Methodist and Presbyterian church leaders pleaded for Trimble to stay involved. And representatives of pro-British paramilitary groups, who seem to relish the

chance of tackling Sainn Fein in talks, said Paisley was just a coward.
"Any unionist worth his salt should be inside the negotiating chamber, fighting tooth and nail against the IRA, exposing the obvious weaknesses of their arguments for the world to see — not letting Sinn Fein win by default," said David Ervine, who represents the outlawed Ulster Volunteer Force in the talks.
The United Kingdom Unionists walked away from the talks Monday when a Sinn Fein delegation arrived at Stormont, center of British administration in east Belfast.
The nine Northern Ireland parties already involved in the talks — ranging from Paisley to Catholic moderates — are to vote today on a document establishing ground rules for the talks once Sinn Fein gets involved.
The document, prepared by the British and Irish governments, states the IRA and pro-British paramilitary groups should make due progress on disarming during negotiations.
Who takes Sinn Fein expelled if it doesn't make commitments on when the IRA will start handing over weapons. Blair has refused to amend the document, knowing that the Irish side would refuse because it would put the IRA truce at risk.
Refugees inundate Kabul
Taliban opposition shakes up capital
The Associated Press
KABUL, Afghanistan — Refugees streamed toward Kabul yesterday to escape heavy fighting north of the Afghan capital, where opposition jets pounded Taliban positions and the two sides waged a blistering artillery duel.
Packed into trucks and on foot, the refugees moved down the rocket-punched road to Kabul, passed by the occasional pick-up truck carrying dead and wounded Taliban soldiers.
The Taliban religious army captured Kabul last September and controls roughly two-thirds of southern Afghanistan, where it has

imposed a rigid form of Islamic law. Women are prohibited from attending school or working; men are forced to pray in mosques and grow beards.
An anti-Taliban coalition, led by Afghanistan's former military chief and a northern warlord, claimed yesterday to have taken fresh territory, including the resort town of Stalliff, roughly 30 miles northwest of Kabul.
The claims could not be independently confirmed.
During the weekend, opposition soldiers pushed Taliban forces out of Charikar, capital of Parwan province, 36 miles north of Kabul and Baghram Air Base, about 24 miles north of the capital.
The advances put the opposition alliance within rocket range of the capital.
But eyewitnesses said Taliban soldiers still controlled the high ground around the capital, which makes opposition advances dangerous.
"Several times the Taliban positions came under bombardment. I saw one jet drop two bombs on the high ground," said one witness, who refused to give his name and fleed with his family when Taliban soldiers approached.
Several turbaned Taliban soldiers in pick-up trucks attacked journalists trying to reach the front line.
Taliban leaders declined to comment on whether it was their official position to keep journalists away from the front line.
Religious freedom not so free
Government report criticizes nations for squelching beliefs
The Associated Press
The report, which details international restrictions on religious freedom in 78 countries, also asks Russian President Boris Yeltsin to veto a proposed law curbing the activities of evangelical and other religious groups in his country.
NEW YORK — In its first report on the persecution of Christians around the world, the State Department sharply criticizes China for suppressing religious freedom, The New York Times reported yesterday.
Last year, Congress mandated a report on U.S. efforts to reduce international restrictions on the practice of Christianity, but the State Department broadened its focus to include other persecuted groups, including Tibetans in China and animists, who believe that natural phenomena or inanimate objects possess spirits, in the Sudan.
The Chinese government has regularly violated constitutional guarantees of religious rights, cracking down on unregistered Catholic and Protestant groups, raiding worship groups meeting in private
"The government of China has sought to restrict all actual religious practice to government-authorized religious organizations and registered places of worship," the newspaper quoted the report.
homes, and sometimes detaining, interrogating or beating religious leaders, the report stated.
The U.S. government, in response, said that it had pressed for religious freedom at meetings with Chinese officials — and sometimes discussed specific cases of jailed Christians. President Bill Clinton and other senior officials have met with the Dalai Lama, the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader.
Four underground Roman Catholic bishops have been imprisoned or detained, many priests have been searched and religious articles have been seized.
The Clinton administration has also asked the Russian president to veto legislation awaiting his signature that would restrict religions not registered 15 years ago, when atheism prevailed in the former Soviet Union and religious dissidents were persecuted.
In Iran, government repression of evangelical Christians increased last year, and four Bahais were sentenced to death for abandoning their faith, the report said.
Under the Russian law, independent Baptists and Mormons would not be able to own property, publish literature or worship publicly.

Cambodian factions clash; ruler 'deals' with tensions
The Associated Press
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — Cambodian strongman Hun Sen predicted yesterday that there would be no more war in his beleaguered country because he 'has dealt' with the extremists who caused political tensions.
But loyalists of ousted First Prime Minister Prince Norodom Ranariddh asserted that they had enough ammunition to fight for three more months.
Hun Sen, Ranariddh's co-premier, seized sole power in a July 5 coup. He repeatedly has suggested the prince was amassing a militia force with defecting Khmer Rouge guerrillas and black market weapons from Taiwan.
Hun Sen's political opponents fled after the takeover. Human rights investigators said at least 40 of Ranariddh's supporters were executed.
Hun Sen has the cities and countryside well under his control, but some low-level resistance continues along the northern border with Thailand.
"There is no serious fighting. What we are seeing now are some skirmishes off the main roads," said Kong Heang, a Hun Sen loyalist and deputy governor of the northern Siem Reap province.
He insisted the government was seeking a peaceful solution, but predicted Hun Sen's troops would continue their northward push.

The recruiting season for women's soccer has ended with the signing of two new athletes.
Additions to make team more flexible

"Serious Drinks for Drinking Seriously"
Colleen Colvin from Hopkins, Minn., and Kylie Watts, from
Topeka, complete head coach Dan Magner's first recruiting class at the University of Kansas.
"Kyliie brings speed and toughness to an already formidable defensive line. We will look to Kyliie to use her outside defensive skills to attack from the wings," Unsworth said.
"Colleen will add flare to our forward line, and we hope to see her on the score sheets in the fall," said Lisa Unsworth, head assistant coach for the team.
Watts and Colvin complete a ninemember recruiting class that Magner hopes will mesh well with his 12 returning letter earners.
Colvin was a four-year letter winner at Hopkins High School in Minnesota and was the school's all-time leading scorer in women's soccer. She was named an All-American by the U.S. High School Soccer Coaches Association in 1996.
Watts was a senior defender for
Topeka High School and is a member of the Kansas City Cosmos Soccer Club.
goal is to quality for and get into the Big 12 tournament in San Antonio.
Last year, under former coach Lori Walker, the Jayhawks finished seventh in league play and did not qualify for the Big 12 tournament.
"The conference games will be played at a much higher intensity level, with much more focus than the other games on our schedule." Magner said. "Not to take anything away from the other opponents, but we really need to develop a sense and a belief among the players that our ticket to success is to do well in those Big 12 games, allowing us to
SOCCER
"I am very excited for this coming season," Magner said. "Our No. 1
get into the Big 12 Tournament."
Magner describes the team as fundamentally sound. The biggest questions are regarding the offense.
"I think the key will be a striker, a finisher. We really need someone to fill that role."
"I would look for us to keep possession of the ball, and I would look for us to be very well organized." Magner said. "Not only organized defensively, but organized when we look to attack.
Magner hopes the team's strengths will be dedication and camaraderie.
Cuban baseball players expelled for trying to flee
The Associated Press
HAVANA — Cuba permanently expelled a player and three coaches from baseball yesterday, charging that they made several attempts to leave the island to join a professional team in the United States, news media reported.
Another three players were separated from the sport for an indefinite time but could return to Cuban baseball depending on their future conduct, the National Institute of Sports, Physical Education and Recreation said in a statement published by the Communist Party daily Granma.
The statement said the sanctions adopted by the National Commission of Baseball took into account the gravity of the acts committed by the players.
There are no professional sports in Cuba, where athletes receive government salaries similar to those of average workers.
The surprise announcement came a week after a 10-day trip for Cuban baseball players to the United States was canceled for security reasons.
In canceling the trip, Cuban officials said that during earlier visits to the United States, players had received threats, as well as money offers to defect and join a U.S. professional team.
BASEBALL
Earlier this month, catcher Francisco Santi- esteban defected while on a week-long trip for a series of exhibition games in Colombia.
In recent years, there have been more than a dozen Cuban baseball players defect, including Livan Hernandez, a pitcher who signed a $4.5 million contract with the Florida Marlins last year, and Rolando Arrojo, a pitcher who signed a $7 million deal in April.
The player expelled yesterday, Jorge Luis Toca, played first base for Villa Clara. The institute accused him of attempting to leave the country to become a professional player and accused coach Orlando China of helping.
President Fidel Castro criticized baseball players who defected to join a U.S. professional team because high salaries were promised.
The institute accused coaches Pedro Jova, the team's manager, and Luis E. Gonzalez of allowing Toca to establish contact with traitors to Cuban baseball — an apparent reference to Cuban players who earlier defected to the United States.
Rawlings plans to market speed-sensing baseball
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — The next time the neighborhood blowhard pops off about the 90 mph fastball he threw in high school, tell him to prove it.
By February, Rawlings Sporting Goods Co. expects to market the Radar Ball, a baseball that features a small digital display showing how fast the ball was thrown.
The company displayed the ball this month at the National Sporting Goods Association's annual convention in Chicago.
Analysts say Rawlings could make millions of dollars with the baseball. The ball also might break the hearts of millions of would-be and could-been major leaguers.
"There's going to be a lot of fathers who have blown egos when they throw in front of their sons," said Randy Black, vice president of marketing for St. Louis-based Rawlings.
The Radar Ball was invented by 25-year-old Dave Zakutin, who experimented with the idea of a speed-sensing baseball as his
senior project at the University of Waterloo in Canada.
Zakutin contacted Rawlings, maker of major league baseballs for 20 years, then brought a couple of friends to play catch in front of Rawlings executives.
The ball is the size of a regulation baseball. To use it, the catcher squats 60 feet, 6 inches from the pitcher, the standard distance from the pitcher's mound to home plate.
A sensor in the baseball measures time from the moment the ball is released until it is caught, Black said. A microprocessor inside the ball then divides the distance by the time and displays a reading in mph.
"You grip it like any of your pitches, you throw it, and you get immediate feedback," Black said.
Rawlings also plans a Little League version that calculates the speed from 45 feet. And the company plans to market a similar softball, due in stores by April.
Black said the Radar Ball would retail for $34.99 to $39.99, making it affordable for high school and American Legion teams.

864-5665·148 BURGE UNION JO HARDESTY, DIRECTOR
Daly, 30, was suspended in 1993 after quitting during the second round of the Kapalua international. After fighting with a 62-year-old man at the World Series of Golf in August
Daly said he had been attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings as often as five days a week.
The rocky road continued at the U.S. Open last month when he quit in the second round. He said he withdrew because of shakes brought on by anti-depressant medication.
Daly, sober since March, said things will be different this time.
Accompanied by his familiar crushing drives is another commitment to sobriety and a push to get back to having fun with the game that thrust him into the spotlight after winning the PGA Championship six years ago.
"The only fun I used to have is what got me suspended," he said.
GOLF
He underwent alcohol rehabilitation for the second time in four years after a drinking binge at the Players Championship in March.
There were no shakes yesterday when a steady Daly played in a nine-hole Skins Game — paired with Fuzzy Zoeller.
CROMWELL, Conn. — A trimmed-down John Daly is preparing for a return to PGA competition following a five-week absence that started with his abrupt withdrawal from the U.S. Open.
1994, he agreed to sit out the rest of the year.
"I feel good, and my game is solid," he said. "It'll be a little different because I haven't played in a month and a half, but I'm not going to worry about what I'm going to shoot. I'm just going to go out and play and see how I feel. There's no goals these days, except sobriety."
"Everybody for the last three years has been saying go out and have fun. It's easy to say that," Daly said yesterday while practicing.

Poll ranks Big 12 football; Jayhawks fifth in division
The Associated Press
DALLAS — Texas and Nebraska, who met in last year's first Big 12 championship, were picked by the media to square off again in this year's title game.
In a preseason poll of reporters, Longhorns' tailback Ricky Williams was selected as the offensive player of the year and Cornhuskers defensive lineman linebacker Grant Wistrom was chosen as the defensive player of the year.
The poll was released yesterday in anticipation of the league's head coaches annual two-day gathering with the media.
Nebraska had a conference-best seven players on the preseason All-Big 12 squad. Texas had the next most with five.
The predicted order of finish in the
North Division was Nebraska, Colorado Kansas State, Missouri, Kansas and Iowa State.
In the South, the media predicted the finish to be Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Bavlor.
The Big 12 championship game is scheduled for Dec. 6 in San Antonio. Texas won last year's game 37-27.
Nebraska's other all-conference players are offensive lineman Eric Anderson, center Aaron Taylor, running back Ahman Green, defensive lineman Jason Peter, defensive back Ralph Brown and punter Jesse Kosch.
Texas' other picks are quarterback James Brown, place kicker Pilar Dawson, defensive lineman Chris Akins and defensive lineman-linebacker Aaron Humphrey.
The all-conference receivers are Colorado's Phil Savoy and Iowa State's Ed Williams. The tight end is Alonzo Mayes of Oklahoma State and the other linemen are Mike Morris of Missouri, Melvin Thomas of Colorado and Todd Weiner of Kansas State.
Ryan Olson of Colorado was picked on the defensive line and the other linebackers are Dat Nguyen of Texas A&M and Mark Simoneau of Kansas State.
The remaining defensive backs are nym Black of Colorado, R.W. McQuarters of Oklahoma State and Tony Blevins of Kansas
Maddux sets record in victory
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Greg Maddux needed just 78 pitches to beat his former team — the fewest in a complete game in nearly seven years — as the Atlanta Braves beat the Chicago Cubs 4-1 in the opener of a doubleheader yesterday.
Maddux looked like the best pitcher of the '90s in winning the first game. In the second game, however, the Braves didn't resemble the NL's best team this decade.
Chicago won 5-4, scoring the go-ahead run in the eighth on consecutive errors by shortstop Jeff Blauer and third baseman Chipper Jones.
"The way we lost the second game put a damper on the day," said Atlanta manager Bobby Cox.
Maddux (14-3) pitched a five-hitter, needing just two hours, seven minutes to become the NL's first 14-game winner.
"He's a brilliant, brilliant pitcher. If my life depended on one game, I'd want him to throw it," Chicago's Mark Grace said of his good friend and former teammate.
Maddux threw 63 strikes. His pitch total, according to Stats Inc., was the lowest in a major-league complete game since Aug. 29, 1990, when Bob Tewksbury threw 76 for St. Louis against Cincinnati.
who threw just 86 pitches to beat the New York Yankees earlier this season.
"I hadn't heard that one." said Maddux.
CUBS
Maddux won his seventh straight game and is 6-0 against the Cubs, the team
he left after the 1992 season, when he won the first of four straight NL Cy Young Awards. His ERA against his former team is 1.43.
"I've thrown some pretty good games against them," Maddux said. "We've scored a lot of runs against them. Four runs against them today was a lot."
The wind was blowing in at 12 mph, but that's not why the Cubs couldn't hit Maddux. He was just doing what he always does, which is throw strikes.
Maddux struck out six and walked none to outpitch rookie Jeremi Gonzalez (7-3), who had won five in a row.
"You have to get to him early in the count. If you go deep in the count, you are not going to see a lot of base hits," said Cubs manager Jim Riggleman.
Atlanta went ahead 2-1 in the fifth on Jeff
Braves
Blauer's lead- off double, an infield out and sacrifice fly by Chipper Jones. Michael Tucker hit a
two-out, two-run home run in the seventh. Gonzalez allowed four runs and seven hits in seven innings.
Atlanta pushed across a first-inning run on singles by Tucker and Jones, a fly ball by Fred McGriff that advanced Tucker and Ryan Klesko's two-out single.
The Cubs got even in the fourth when Shawon Dunston led off with a single and scored on an infield out by Sammy Sosa.
In the eighth inning of the second game, Dunston singled with two outs, and Blauser and Jones misplayed grounders by Kevin Orie and Ryne Sandberg, sending Mike Cather (0-1) to the loss.
Kent Bottenfield (2-2) won despite giving up the second of two home runs by Andruw Jones, allowing Atlanta to tie the score 4-4 in the eighth. Mel Rojas pitched the ninth for his 12th save.
Danny Bautista also homered for the Braves. Denny Neagle, aiming to join Maddux as a 14-game winner, gave up four runs and nine hits in six 2-3 innings.

Sampras, Agassi to vie for Grand Slam title
The Associated Press
TENNIS
NEW YORK - Michael
NEW YORK — Michael Stich of Germany won't be at the U.S. Open tennis championships next month. Neither will Stefan Edborg of Sweden or Russian Andrei Chesnokov.
But they are the only players of the top 100-ranked men who were not on the entries' list for the Grand Slam event. The list was released yesterday by the U.S. Tennis Association.
Stich, a former Wimbledon champion who is No. 46 in the computer rankings, and Edberg, No. 59, have retired. Chesnokov, ranked 100, has a broken leg.
Sampras also will be after his 11th career Grand Slam singles title, one victory from Australian Roy Emerson's record of a dozen Grand Slam singles titles.
Pete Sampras, the two-time defending champion and No. 1 in the rankings, leads the entries. Sampras will be seeking his fifth U.S. Open title, a feat achieved only by Jimmy Connors in the open era.
Andre Agassi, the 1994 champion, who has limited his schedule since marrying Brooke Shields in the spring, is entered and will be playing in his first Grand Slam tournament since he reached the semifinal of the U.S. Open last year and lost to Michael Chang.
Nuggets suggest trade for SuperSonics' Kemp
The Associated Press
RIVER VALLEY
SEATTLE — Seattle SuperSonics officials had no comment yesterday on a report the Denver Nuggets were considering a swap of Antonio McDyess for Shawn Kemp.
Allen Bristow, Denver's vice president for basketball operations, acknowledged talking with the Sonics. "They know we're interested," he said.
Sonics officials said they would not comment on rumors.
"I don't think we'll have any comment on that because it's coming out of Denver," said one Sonics official.
In June, Bristow said the Nuggets were committed to keeping McDyess, who was drafted in 1995. He said the 6-foot-9 power forward was essential to rebuilding the team.
But Bristow wants flexibility under the salary cap, so Denver could aggressively seek him in next summer's free-agent market.
Kemp has demanded to be traded, saying he'd never play for the Sonics again. He has six years left on a contract that would pay him $3.3 million next season, well below average for a player of his caliber.
