Waving wheat or a cool treat awaits guests of Hawk Week
(USPS 650-640)
Today's festivities end with Traditions Night
By Gwen Olson
Kansan staff writer
Every fall, Jayhawks are welcomed back to school with a week of traditions, activities, learning and fun.
Hawk Week 1997 kicks off today with a variety of programs that new students can use to get to know the University of Kansas. The programs, ranging from tours of campus to an ice cream social, are designed to help freshmen succeed in their first semester of college.
During the day, the activities focus on academics. The Office of New Student
HAWK WEEK:
Schedule of events and activities. Page 2A
Orientation offers personalized class tours and tours of the KU libraries, Robinson Center and Watkins Memorial Health Center.
"I mainly am doing library tours," said Jordan Edwards, Junction City junior and one of helping orientation assistants. "I'm also helping with giving class tours to show students where the buildings are and how to find their classes."
Newly opened Budig Hall also will be available for inspection. Students will be able to take a tour of the building and its three high-tech lecture halls on Wednesday.
"We're hoping especially that the Budig tour will bring students in," said Heather Stoehr, Omaha, Neb., graduate student and Hawk week coordinator.
The daytime programs also give students a chance to prepare for the semester with special workshops designed to answer questions about the University and to provide study tips.
The Student Development Center, formerly the Student Assistance Center, also will offer study skills workshops.
"The workshops are mostly for freshmen and new students, but any student who may need some time-management or note-taking skills could attend," said Marshall Jackson, associate director of the center. "Generally, these programs are well-attended because students want to get a good start on the semester."
The final events of Hawk Week are the KU Football Get Ready Rally and a free screening of "Scream" at Campanile hill.
The most popular Hawk Week events take place at night, when students have a number of opportunities to learn the traditions of the University and to meet new people. Tonight there will be an ice cream social at the Adams Alumni Center followed by Traditions Night at Memorial Stadium. The Marching Jayhawks and the KU cheerleaders will teach students the University's songs and cheers, such as waving the wheat and the Rock Chalk chant.
Other daytime programs include information sessions on parking, adding and dropping classes, scholarships, student employment and student organizations.
Tomorrow night, several sports coaches and the Marching Jayhawks will be in front of Wescoe Hall for Beach-n-Boulevard, an event that features prize giveaways and entertainment.
The school year's convocation at the Lied Center will be Wednesday night. Faculty and staff, including Chancellor Robert Hemenway, will lead the hourlong ceremony, the official beginning to the new school year.
"This year, instead of just the football coach, we have invited several coaches of other fall sports," said Howard Milton, a graduate adviser who works for Student Union Activities. "We will also have a step show with some of the Black fraternities and sororites."

On Wednesday morning, Dennis Dailey, professor of social welfare, will discuss sexuality and the college student. In the past, Dailey's class on human sexuality has been one of the most popular courses on campus.
For example, a program called Faculty Focus allows the students to hear professors' advice. Tuesday morning, Sally Frost-Mason, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, will talk about how to succeed in large classes, such as chemistry and biology.
When University of Kansas students deposit 85 cents into soft drink vending machines this fall, their cola choice will be always Coca-Cola.
KU and Coca-Cola officials signed a letter of intent on Aug. 4 to proceed with a contract which will give Coca-Cola exclusive soft drink distribution rights on the Lawrence and Regents Center campuses for the next 10 years.
Within two days, Coca-Cola representatives were replacing old vending machines and stocking new machines across campus.
The deal is worth an estimated $21 million for the University, said David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs. The university will receive $7 million when the contract is completed and signed next month, he said.
Coca-Cola will provide $7.5 million worth of event sponsorships during the life of the contract. The remaining money will be generated from yearly guaranteed commissions, additional commissions from sales, interest earned on the initial $7 million payment and sale of the old KU Concessions vending machines to Coca-Cola.
While KU officials focused on the financial aspects of the agreement, KU students noted other details of the arrangement.
Many vending machines on campus have been replaced with machines that dispense 20-ounce bottles instead of 12-ounce cans.
"A 20-ounce bottle is a lot of soda," said Matt Gregory, Independence,毛母. senior. "I like Coke and I'm happy with it, but it kind of limits the options of soda drinkers because

they only have one brand to choose from."
Increased bottle sales also could affect campus recycling efforts.
"People should have the right to choose what they drink," said Chris Hopkins, Gresham, Ore., freshman.
Money from the agreement will be used to fund campus recycling programs, Ambler said. Coca-Cola will also contribute in other wavs.
"They will provide recycling bins for both cans and bottles — anything that they peddle. Ambler said."
Decisions about specific allocations of the funds had not yet been made, but money may be used for scholarships, student programming, and faculty and staff programming. Ambler said.

The skull of Titanis walleri, a prehistoric bird with similar features as the Kansas Jayhawk. The bird roamed areas of southeastern North America 15,000 years ago.
'Jayhawk' fossil discovered
Early humans and bird may have coexisted
By Mike Perryman Kansan staff writer
Newly resurrected fossils of this large bird indicate to some optimistic scientists that the Jayhawk-like bird not only may have existed among early humans, but humans could have driven it to extinction.
The earliest humans to inhabit the New World may have run into the Kansas Jayhawk, known to the science world as Titanis walleri.
Titanis walleri, a six-foot tall bird with a two-foot long head and four-inch-long claws lived out the early part of its tenure in South America and later moved into the southeastern parts of North America. In the late 1960s, scientists discovered the bones, and they have continued to dig up more remains.

The most recent component of one of the Titanis skeletons, a toe, was found in the same gravel pit sediment as a collection of bison that date back 15,000 years. However, scientists are uncertain about the age of the toe.
The earliest humans are thought to have

arrived in the New World some 12,400 years ago. This places Titanis and humans in the same time frame.
"It looks like a Jayhawk. The huge hook on the tip of the nose and the whole skeleton of Titanis looks almost exactly like a Jayhawk." he said.
Richard Prum, curator of ornithology at the Natural History Museum, said the prehistoric bird bore a remarkable resemblance to the University of Kansas' beloved Jayhawk.
Prum thinks it is possible, but not entirely likely, that humans walked with Titanis.
"This bird may have existed in southeastern parts of North America and stalked its prey in the tall grass lands; that is uncertain," Prum said. "But as history has proven, if humans did cross paths with these large birds, it is entirely possible that they could have been responsible for Titanis walleri's extinction."
Theories of the Titanis's extinction are as varied as theories of the extinction of the

dinosaurs.
De Sui Miao, collection manager in the division of vertebrate paleontology at the Natural History Museum, agreed that the bird resembled the Jayhawk.
"It's about as close to a Jayhawk as you can get." he said.
Dean Stetler, associate professor of biochemistry and director of undergraduate biology, first stumbled upon some photos and pictures of Titans and its bones while reading "Discover" magazine. He was amazed at the similarities.
"Paint it red and blue, give it a yellow beak and put some shoes on it and you have a Javawk," he said
Prum said Titanis was soon the best-known of the big terror birds — monstrous birds that existed after the fall of the dinosaurs.
"It is interesting to see that this large, ferocious bird that is becoming so well-known looks so much like a Kansas Jayhawk," Prum said. "It is ironic that the plains and tall-grass regions in which Titanis is said to have inhabited and stalked thousands of years ago are not too entirely different than the Kansas landscape of today."

Watkins makes appointments priority instead of walking in
Kansan staff writer
Starting today, more appointment slots will be available to students.
The long-standing tradition of walking in without an appointment for treatment at Watkins Memorial Health Center is changing.
In the past, doctors had to reserve entire days for walk-ins, Rock said. The new system reserves portions of each day for appointments and portions for walk-ins.
Students requiring urgent care still will be seen on a walk-in basis, but appointments are encouraged for more routine matters. Rock said. Also, the new system will ensure that those with emergencies will not compete for consultation time with those who have other non-urgent needs, he said.
In the past, as little as 30 percent of Watkins business was through appointments.
"We have a fixed day, so we are trying to spread things out so they don't have to wait," Rock said. "We encourage students to use the appointment system whenever feasible."
"That number has gotten a little better — maybe 50 percent — but our goal would be 80 percent with appointments," Rock said. "We want things to be done in a way to best utilize the students' health fees."
"If we channel, control the flow, it will be beneficial to the doctors, beneficial for the nurses and beneficial for the patients," appointment clerk Priscilla Belcher said. "It's going to take a while for people to catch on that more appointment times are available. It'll make a big difference. We're really excited about the change."
The two appointment clerks at Watkins are anticipating a steady stream of appointments.
To make an appointment, students can drop by the appointment desk or call 864-9657 from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. or call the main Watkins line at 864-9655 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. When calling for appointments, students are required to give their KUID number and identify their medical need so the right amount of time and the correct health care provider will be available.
Appointments are available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Limited evening and weekend appointments also are available for those who can't make weekday appointments. A $30 after-hours charge is added for those who do not make an appointment and need assistance during the evenings and weekends.

KU on Wheels changes gears: New passes, new paint.job
Coordinator says pass sales up by 500
By Tim Harrington Kansan staff writer
A more versatile and colorful KU on Wheels will serve the student's transportation needs this semester.
For the first time in its 27-year history, KU on Wheels is selling both semester and annual passes and sporting new colors on one bus.
"We're trying to give KU on Wheels a face-lift this year," said Scott Kaiser, KU on Wheels transportation coordinator.
Kaiser hopes the changes will increase bus pass sales. So far the changes appear to be effective.
Sales have already increased from last year, he said. By this time last year, KU on Wheels had sold 3,500 passes. This year sales have
increased 15 percent, to 4,000.
Students save $10 by purchasing the $110 annual pass. Semester passes sell for $60, a $5 increase from last year. But buying the annual pass sidesteps the $5 increase.
But the more visible element to KU on Wheels' face-lift is the crimson-and-blue bus driving through campus.
Reflecting what Kaiser calls crimson pride, the bus is a guinea pig to make sure the colors don't chip or fade. Exactly which route the bus will take is undecided.
"It's an idea that's been thrown around for two or three years," Kaiser said. "Somebody just needed to do it."
To the delight of Kaiser and his associates, neither KU on Wheels nor Student Senate had to pay for the new paint job. The Lawrence Bus Company covered the cost.
"It was really a nice gesture on their part," Kaiser said.
The crimson-and-blue bus is the

only standout among the fleet of lime-green buses which have become a fixture on the KU campus.
The crimson-and-blue bus breaks a 40-year-old streak of lime-green buses. The distinctive green color, the same hue often used on fire trucks and ambulances, is considered highly visible to motorists because it is a color not found in nature.

Weeklong fall rush crowds greek houses
Rushees learn about chapters, University life
By Sarah McWilliams Kansan staff writer
The back-to-school rush doesn't include just mobs of students waiting in line at stores, moving into residence halls and crowding into Strong Hall. It includes hundreds of freshmen rushing for the 41 fraternities and sororites at the University of Kansas.
More than 800 women will participate in the fall formal sorority rush this week, and 48 men will rush for fraternities. Rush began Friday for men and Saturday for women.
Until next Saturday,which is the final selection day known as bid day, the greek hopefuls will visit several chapters a day to find the house that is right for them. The fraternities and sororites also will narrow their choices for new members throughout the week.
During their visits to chapters, rushes meet the house moms, learn the house songs and talk to members face-to-face.
"We're really geared toward making the rushees as comfortable as possible," said Kara Douglass, vice president of membership for the KU Panhellenic Association.
During a sorority rush orientation session Saturday, sev
eral rushees, including Topeka freshmen Rebekah Hays and Tricia Fairchild, said they decided to go through rush because they thought Joining a sorority would be a good way to meet people.
"At a big university, I thought it would be a good way to break down the school," Fairchild said.
Stephanie Bates, Overland Park freshman, said she decided to rush because she had heard a lot of good things about sororities. "I just hope everything goes well and I gain new friends," she said.
Chad Bodecker, vice president for membership of the KU Interfraternity Council, said the numbers of fall fraternity rushees were low because most would-be fraternity members participate in open rush, which takes place during the school year and is less formal than fall rush.
Bodecker said fraternity rushes will visit each chapter and learn about its traditions, living arrangements and activities.
Rushees also are asked to participate in Hawk Week activities so they would learn not just about the greek system, but about the University as a whole, said Bridget Mason, vice president of public relations for the Panhellenic Association.

Allergies pester new residents
People move out, clean but mold still remains
By Sarah Chadwick Kansan staff writer
When moving away from home, there are several housekeeping habits that can help students stay healthy when moving into an apartment or house, especially for people with allergies.
"Vigorous vacuuming and cleaning upon moving in can help ease allergy symptoms," said Randall Rock, Watkins Memorial Health Center chief of staff. "Take up old carpet or if you have hardwood floors, those are even better."
Taking up the carpet eliminates pet dander that may have been there from previous residents' pets and causes pet allergies. Rock said.
Also, people with seasonal allergies should keep their windows closed and
"Older homes make great apartments for college students," Rock said. "Unfortunately, older homes bring with them the problem of mold and dust. Basement apartments may have higher mold counts because of the higher possibility of flooding in basements. People with asthma may have problems due to that."
frequently change furnace filters to keep the air clean. The filters should be changed monthly for those with allergies and every two to three months for others. Rock said.
Some medications, such as antihistamines or inhalers, may help people who have complications because of the air quality in their homes.
Students also need to watch out for hazards in the kitchen.
"Don't prepare raw meat on the same place that you prepare your salad or other uncooked food," Candyce Waitle, head of Peer Health Promotion,
said. "That spreads bacteria from the uncooked food into your salad. Keep things you cook separate from those you don't."
Waitley also reminds students to get perishables into the refrigerator as soon as possible to cut down on bacteria.
"Don't leave food crumbs, plates or pizza boxes lying around either," Waitley said. "That increases the potential for bug infestation."
When cleaning the kitchen and bathroom with sponges and cloths, allow them to completely dry between uses to ward off bacteria. Hang the cloth or sponge over the tap or place in front of a window that will let it dry quicker and kill off chances for bacteria, Waitley said.
"If you let the sponge dry you can use it for up to a week without washing it," Waitley said. "An even better way to go would be to buy those disposable handiwipes and use them for a couple of days, then get a new one."

Phi Kappa Tau's new house at 11th and Indiana was formerly to the Acacia fraternity. The building can hold 24 more members than the old house at 1232 Ohio St.
New houses,new members in store for three fraternities
Facilities represent at least $5 million worth of building
Phi Kappa Tau has moved from its old house at 1232 Ohio St. into a newly renovated house at 11th and Indiana. Alumni of the fraternity raised $1.5 million for the renovation of the Victorian-style house, which the fraternity purchased in 1993, said Damon Miller, Phi Kappa Tau vice president.
By Sarah McWilliams Kansan staff writer
Three fraternities at the University of Kansas will have more than new members in the next year—they'll have new buildings in which to house them.
"We were fortunate that we had strong alumni support and that we finally get to move into the house we've had since 1993," he said.
The new building now houses all 45 of the fraternity's members, and there is room for 24 more.
rheta Chi took a step further in renovations and tore down its old house at 10th and Missouri to make way for a newer style of fraternity dwelling.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon also tore down its house last fall to make way for a new house. Former Sigma Alpha Epsilon president Pete Getz said that after 63 years it was time for the house to be torn down and a newer, better facility to be built.
Construction of the new house is scheduled to be finished next fall. The building will cost an estimated $3.5 million, which was raised during the past several months by alumni of the fraternity. Getz said.
"It's going to be incredibly beneficial to the chapter and to members to live in apartment-style housing and still have the benefits of a fraternity," he said. The apartments will make the fraternity more competitive with on-campus residence halls, which also are moving toward apartment-style units.
He said apartment living for fraternities was becoming more and more popular on the West Coast and was recommended by Theta Chi's alumni association.
"We're very excited for the new house to be done," Getz said. "We've worked very hard on raising funds for it."
The house plans to build apartments with a central meeting room for the fraternity members, said chapter adviser Dave Stras. The two- and three-bedroom apartments will house 80 people, approximately four times as many members as the old house, Stras said.

Highpoint, one of several new apartment complexes, sits above the intersection of Iowa and Sixth streets. While many Highpoint units are occupied, crews still are constructing some buildings.
By Ann Premer
Kansan staff writer
New apartment complexes have sprouted throughout Lawrence during the past year, giving KU students a wide choice of living arrangements.
Building permits for apartment units in Lawrence skyrocketed in 1996 — the city issued building permits for 954 multi-unit dwellings, said Jim Sherman, Lawrence building inspector. Multi-unit dwellings include apartments, duplexes, quadruplexes and townhomes.
He said the number of multi-unit dwellings in 1996 was unusually high, nearly five times that of the previous year.
"There were not even 200 in 1995," Sherman said.
The boom in new housing serves the large number of KU students living off campus. Although figures for the number of students living off campus this year are not yet available, Harlan Roedel, copy editor for University Relations, said about 20,000 students, or 80 percent of the campus population, lived off campus last year.
Several new apartment complexes are serving KU students as well as Lawrence residents.
Aberdeen Apartments and Townhomes, Highpoint Apartments, Pinnacle Woods Apartments and Tuck-
away will offer a combined total of 842 new apartments by November. All the complexes have plans to be included on KU bus routes.
"We try to target students as well as others. About 50 percent of our residents are students at this time," said Jeanie Morrison, property manager of Swan Management, about the Aberdeen apartment complex.
Morrison said that 65 units of the complex's 169 units were finished and that completion of the others was expected by November.
Construction of the Tuckaway apartment complex was completed at the end of July.
"We are completely finished and
completely full," said Dru Fritzel, co manager of Tuckaway.
Fritzel said the computer room and the exercise equipment and exercise areas helped to attract students.
"We have a good amount of students here."she said.
Aberdeen offers one and two bedroom apartments and the other complexes offer one, two and three bedrooms. Rental prices range from $450 to $970 depending on the complex and the number of bedrooms.
"We are making it kind of a luxury residence," said Sheryl Krzanowsky, district manager of First Management of Highpoint. "What we have
She said all the 169 units would be finished in 30 to 45 days.
available now is 100 percent occupied."
With the new apartment complexes, managers of older complexes said they would start making improvements and adding amenities to be competitive.
However, Paul Gonzalez, leasing agent and assistant manager of Southpointe Apartments, said the new apartment complexes had not affected business yet because they had not been completed.
"It really hasn't affected us yet, but it very well could for the next leasing season," he said.
Parking costs rise; more spaces added

The price of a yellow-zone parking pass has increased $22 to $75. Last year's passes cost $53.
The decision to raise permit prices was not made until late last semester, which caused the parking department to miss the April deadline to be included in the option's card.
This snaufa has meant long lines at the parking department this week as students scramble to purchase permits.
"I expect about a 200-person line all day, every day," sad Lori Pearson, parking department office manager.
The parking department has planned for the anticipated rush. At their headquarters in the parking garage at the corner of Irving Hill Road and Naismith Drive, there will be three cashiers inside the building and four outside.
Pearson said students needed bring their KUIDs, license plate numbers and last year's parking permit if they had one. Students will complete a parking permit card while waiting in line.
The department will sell permits from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. today through Friday. To give students an opportunity to purchase per-

nits, the department will not ticket in yellow zones and residence hall lots until Monday, Aug. 25. The department will issue tickets in blue and red zones during that time.
Donna Hultine, assistant director of the parking department, said students should come in early in the week to avoid the largest of the crowds, made up of people who may be upset about long lines and increased prices.
Hultine said recent expenditures, including painting new lines and new lot for Jayhawker Towers are to blame for higher prices.
Those projects have added 193 spaces to lots on Daisy Hill. The Jayhawker Towers garage should be open sometime this week, Hultine said.
Students are not alone in footing the parking department's bills. The department raised the costs of all parking passes.

Lawrence businesses try to work around UPS strike
College bookstores mostly unaffected
By Ann Premer
Kansan staff writer
The continuing strike by United Parcel Service workers across the country will not prevent most KU students from getting their books or back-to-school necessities. However, the strike, which is in its 16th day, may hamper students' search for new fall items at many local businesses.
"We were supposed to have received all of our fall merchandise Aug, 1, and we have seen little to none," said Chad Kemper, manager of Sunflower Outdoor and Bike Shop, 804 Massachusetts St.
Megan Guenther, manager of The Palace, a downtown gift shop, said the store no longer was receiving daily shipments. "We would definitely have more in the store right now if UPS wasn't on strike," she said.
Loni Hosking, showroom manager of Waxman Candles Inc., 609 Massachusetts St. said that the store had not been seriously
affected by the strike yet but that it still was waiting for fall merchandise to arrive.
The bigger problem would come if the strike was not resolved by the end of the month, she said. In September, Waxman puts out a new mail-order catalog, and orders from the catalog will be difficult to fill if UPS is not operating fully by then, she said.
Another problem the strike causes is the added expense of shipping with another company, merchants said.
"UPS is the least expensive," said Judy Paley, co-owner of Natural Way, 820 Massachusetts St. "If they have to use other carriers, it is two to three times as much."
Paley and other merchants said the extra expense in shipping would not raise their prices.
Most of the business managers said that they or their suppliers were trying to use other companies for shipping.
Joel Wagler, assistant manager of The Mailbox, 3115 W. 6th St., said that he had been shipping exclusively with Federal Express, Airborne Express and the U.S. Postal Service since the strike began.
"They seem to be holding up pretty well," Wagler said.
He said that most delivery companies were not guaranteeing next-morning delivery but still were guaranteeing next-day delivery.
Although the strike is affecting many area businesses dramatically, local college bookstores are not feeling the heat from the strike. Managers of textbook stores in Lawrence said that they had 80 to 90 percent of their books in stock.
The KU Bookstores in the Burge and the Kansas Unions, the Jayhawk Bookstore and the University Book Shop do not rely heavily on UPS. All receive the bulk of their merchandise through Roadway Package Systems.
"We don't feel much impact from it yet," said Mike Reid, manager of the Kansas Union Bookstore.
However, the managers said that the books that may be affected were those that were ordered late or from small publishing houses. They also said that students may have to be patient on reorders and that the complete status of the books would not be known until after the first day of classes.
Job fair, concert coming to campus

GTAs and University agree to first contract
Final GTAC vote not yet taken
By Mike Perryman
KansanO staff writer
Susan Buehler, a GTA and member of the negotiating committee, said that the contract, which addressed such important issues as health care, campus fees, tuition waivers and wages for GTAs, was all but perfect. She said the coalition recognized the contract as a positive step and agreed that there was room for improvement.
Graduate teaching assistants agree that the contract reached between the GTA Coalition and University of Kansas administration this summer was a positive step.
"Everyone I've spoken with is extremely positive and excited about the agreement," she said. "This is the first contract with the University and a good one to build off of."
That vote is expected to take place in a couple of weeks when all of the GTAs return to campus. But no one knows the specifics of the contract.
Helen Sheumaker, GTAC secretary, said the contract was tentatively agreed upon, but it still awaited a yes vote from the GTA members of GTAC.
"We don't know what the health care plan consists of because the administration doesn't know what the plan consists of yet," Sheumaker said.
The contract states that GTAs would be eligible for employee-sponsored state health care benefits, and the University would pay all of or part of required campus fees. A teaching assistant could save up to $180 per year.
Another part of the contract concerns salary increases. The University would be required to ask
the Legislature to ensure that faculty and GTA salaries increase at the same percentage.
The contract also states that tuition would be waived by the University for GTAs teaching two or more classes.
Buehler said the important thing was that the GTAs got something they sought in all the big areas: health care, wages, campus fees and tuition waivers.
Many of the GTAs were not in Lawrence at the time of the agreement. Some were busy with course work and teaching elsewhere during the summer.
"The important thing is that people stuck by the union and through painful negotiations in order to reach an agreement that GTAs can benefit from. There is always room for improvement in any contract, but it was important to take the first positive step." Buehler said.
Buehler is in her third year of the doctorate program in communication studies. She received her bachelor's degree at the University and her master's at the University of Maryland.
"Ireally wanted to be a part of the negotiations because of my experience at Maryland; I saw the great benefits and treatment the GTAs were receiving there, and the treatment of GTAs here just didn't seem right." she said.
Kip Curtis, a GTA in history and member of the union, was optimistic about the contract, but was also a little concerned.
"I am positive about what GTAC has accomplished," he said. "It took two years to sift through everything and get to the real substance of the negotiations. The contract is a good beginning and I'm not dissatisfied with it, but the limitations of the contract just go to show how little the administration is willing to give."
Curtis has played a large role in keeping members united and in touch after the contract agreement. As co-coordinator of the
GTA agreement
The following are parts of the proposed deal between the GTAs and administration:
Health Care: Board of Regents plans to ask the 1998 Legislature to allocate $1.7 million for the new health insurance plan.
Wages: GTAs will receive the same average salary increase as KU faculty.
Grlevance: There will be a new procedure for resolving employer-employee disputes that will limit appeals to the department's chair and the school's dean.
Campus fees: GTAs will have at least a portion of campus fees waived. The typical graduate student now pays $400 annually in fees.
**Tutition waver:** The existing GTA tuition waiver authorized by the Legislature will be guarantee.
Action Alliance, a group formed last spring to keep GTAs involved and informed of GTAC and GTA related topics, Curtis talks to other GTA rally groups about events and developments and raises money for support of the Alliance and its purpose.
They are holding a home brewing competition north of Lawrence on Friday, Aug. 29 as a fund raiser for the Alliance. Members of the Lawrence community are urged to attend.
"It is an effort not only to unite GTAs and to raise money, but also to get the Lawrence community involved." Curtis said.
Tracy Floreni, a GTA in English studies and a member of the coalition from its beginnings, is pleased with the agreement.
"I am happy with the outcome, considering the negotiations took two years," she said. "The contract doesn't make our situation worse, it only makes it better."

Women's center seeks new director
By Ryan Koemer

The Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center faces an active fall semester along with the upcoming departure of its director, Barbara Ballard, and widespread reorganization in the Division of Student Affairs.
Ballard, who has been director of the center since she came to the University in 1980, will hire a new director and devote more time to the other position she holds at the University of Kansas, associate dean of students.
The changes are part of an overhaul of positions and offices in the Division of Student Affairs, which until the beginning of this month was known as the Department of Student Life. As associate dean, Ballard will oversee the Office of Minority Affairs, International Student Services, and two newly defined organizations, Services for Students with Disabilities and the Student Development Center.
Ballard will continue to oversee the women's resource center, but her hands-on role will change.
"I won't be doing everything at the center I love doing now, which is the day to day operation, but I will continue speaking and working with the center and the sexual
OLOA
assault prevention program," Ballard said. Ballard said the reorganization would not immediately affect the center's activities and programs, which include sexual assault prevention programs, financial aid assistance for women and faculty mentoring. Many things at the camp.
Many things at the cen
ter have not changed at all. The center, located at 115 Strong Hall, will start the year with its annual open house from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Aug. 27.
Rachel Lee, one of two graduate assistants at the center, began working in May to coordinate the center's fall calendar. She said the programs available this fall range from auto mechanics workshops to a women's leadership conference.
Refund checks aren't quick cash
Patience needed for fee completion

Kansan staff writer
Most students receive the
Starting a new semester can be stressful for students who need to pick up financial aid refunds. The lines can be long, the procedure can be confusing and sometimes the checks just aren't there.
But if students are prepared the process can run slowly but smoothly.
The first chance for financial aid recipients to pick up refund checks — money that wasn't used for tuition — is at fee completion from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. tomorrow and Wednesday at the Big 12 Room in the Kansas Union. Scholarship and student loan recipients also can get refunds.
Students should be patient and ready to stand in line, said Brenda Maigaard, assistant director of the Office of Student Financial Aid.
checks without a hitch, but problems arise for students who have dropped classes, enrolled late or who recently were awarded financial aid, Maigaard said.
Often these students' checks have not been processed in time for fee completion, she said. An information table will be available for students who have trouble getting refunds.
Students must bring photo identification, such as a KUID, to receive a refund check. Students who recently have dropped a class should bring a printout of their new schedule.
Checks will be available Thursday at the Office of the Comptroller in Carruth-O'Leary Hall for students who are unable to attend fee completion.
However, students should attend fee completion now instead of crowding into Carruth-O'Leary later.
"It's usually faster at the union because we have lots of people set up to distribute checks," said bursar Karen Bailey. "We only have one person set up to handle checks after that."

Death count during break stuns campus
Dean says students' activities increased campus awareness
By Mary Corcoran
Kansan staff writer
Overland Park senior James Park's car drifted into oncoming traffic and collided head-on with a 15-passenger van. Memphis, Tenn., senior LaTina Sullivan suffered a severe asthma attack in the parking lot of Meadowbrook apartments. Prairie Village junior Daniel Hamman was overcome by smoke from a fire that started in his Lawrence kitchen.
LaTina Sullivan

An unusually high number of KU students died this summer, according to University of Kansas officials. Although he did not have figures from previous summers and the University does not keep an official death count. James
Kitchen, dean of student life, said that more students died this summer than in the previous three summers he has worked at the University.
"We've had three prospective students and two or three students die this year," Kitchen said. "It's quite alarming. We were all wondering when it was going to end."
However, he said, the University, with a student and faculty population of more than 30,000, is like any other community or town where deaths occur on a regular basis.
Tom Hutton, director of University Relations, agreed.
Kitchen also said that the number of deaths in the student community this summer was comparable to death rates at other universities in the United States.
"Other campuses over the country experience the same tragedies," he said. "I know that the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, has had a large number of students die this year."
The fact that many of the students who died this summer were well-recognized and involved with University activities made the impact of the deaths more widespread, Kitchen said.
For example, Park was house manager and treasurer of Phi Kappa Tau fraternity. Sullivan was, among other things, editor of "The University Daily Kansan", a participant in the McNair Scholars program and a member of Delta Sigma Theta sorority.
Kitchen also said that extensive media coverage seemed to prolong the issues.
The University provides many counseling services for students who have lost loved ones or friends and are trying to get through the grieving process. Contact Watkins Memorial Health Center at 864-9500 for more information.

CLAS braces for increased new-student enrollment
Summer enrollment patterns
By Jennifer A. Yeoman Kansan staff writer
Increasing enrollment of firsttime students and transfer students at the University of Kansas has not taken the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences by surprise.
The number of new students enrolling during the summer has increased in the past few years.

More than 4,500 first-time and transfer students enrolled during the summer. That number is up from last year's 4,481, and it has risen steadily since 1994.

"We were expecting the increase," said Sally Frost-Mason, dean of the college, in to which freshmen are automatically enrolled. "We have been closely monitoring admissions, so we knew to expect more students this fall."
In order to provide enough class openings for the new students, the college added extra sections of popular courses, such as English 101 and Math 101. The college also increased the number of students allowed to enroll in each section by one or two.
Mason said.
The increase could cause problems for upperclassmen who want to add freshman-level courses, Frost-Mason said. However, administrators hope the new linear tuition system, which charges students by the credit hour, will decrease the number of students adding and dropping classes this fall.
Pam Houston, director of CLAS Undergraduate Services, said that she thought fewer students were class-shopping, or signing up for extra courses knowing they will drop one in the fall, because of the cost of tuition.
Houston said that she expected the growth in firsttime and transfer students to continue as more and more students graduate from Kansas high schools each year.
"In the past, students would sign up for 18 hours in the spring," Houston said. "And then in the fall they would attend the classes and drop the one they liked the least."
The number of honors students at the University also increased. In the past two years, there has been a 42 percent increase in enrollment in the honors program, according to Barbara Schowen, director of the University Honors Program. The number of incoming freshmen in the Honors Program increased from 309 last fall to 375 this fall, she said.
The Honors Program also added courses for this semester.
"We planned ahead, but I don't know if we ever thought we'd have this many students," Schowen said.
College welcomes a number of new faculty this term
Twelve different departments welcome 23 new instructors
By Jennifer A. Yeoman Kansan staff writer
There are a few new faces around the College of Liberal Arts and Science this fall. The college has hired 23 new faculty members in 12 different departments to serve as assistant and associate professors.
Of the new faculty members, half were women and a third were minorities, said Sally Frost-Mason, dean of the college.
"I think that our hiring pattern speaks very highly about our college," she said.
The search for new faculty members begins in the fall when departments petition for new faculty members to help with new courses and increased enrollment, or to replace faculty members who have left.
Erin Spiridigliozzi, assistant dean of the college, said departments conduct their own searches after they have been given approval to hire new faculty. To avoid favoritism, departments usually don't hire KU graduates, she said.
But there are a few exceptions. For example, John Tibbettis, the 1982 KU graduate, accepted an assistant professorship in the department of theatre and film. Tibbettis has been teaching at the University since he graduated.
The other 22 new faculty members come from universities across the country.
Kathryn Conrad, assistant professor of English, came from the University of Pennsylvania.
"I'm excited to be here," Conrad said. "It's exciting to be able to work with a whole new group of students. The students at KU seem to have a lot of energy."
Most of the new faculty members are young, Frost-Mason said. However, the College also is searching for several senior-level positions which it hopes to fill between January and next fall.

Student Development Center to hire liaison
Position will focus on Queers and Allies
By Ryan Koerner
Kansan staff writer
The Student Development Center, formerly the Student Assistance Center, is doing its part to continue a commitment to diversity at the University of Kansas.
A vacant part-time, graduate-level liaison position that assists homosexual students and works with Queers and Allies soon will be filled.
The position was created in the Fall of 1990 to develop a relationship among the Lawrence community, the University and the gay and lesbian communities. The position, in its original description, was created to aid in the assistance of gay and lesbian students. The description has since been changed to include bisexual and transgender issues.
"There needs to be someone within the University organization who acts as a liaison to the community for the gay, lesbian and transgender students, is aware of these issues and can be sensitive to their issues," said Lorna Zimmer, who oversaw the position as director of the Student Assistance Center before the it was renamed.
"It is also important that there is someone here to be a conduit for these students within the University," she said.
Zimmer said the job opening had been announced in the spring. But the chosen applicant declined the job offer. The center decided to postpone accepting applications again until after the beginning of this semester to distribute applications to a larger pool of students.
One responsibility involves working with Queers and Allies, 423 Kansas Union.
"We definitely expect QNA to aid us in our search for an effective liaison," Zimmer said. "They will help us identify candidates for this position."
Kathleen Shay, president of Queers and Allies, will work closely with the center's liaison.
"Ideally I would like someone who is active and will talk to the individual faculty about the things we would like to do, and also to relay

In-line skaters must roll off the Hill
By Mary Corcoran Kansan staff writer
Despite its functionality and increasing popularity, inline skating remains illegal on the University of Kansas campus.
lawrence statute number 17-702.1 states that "it shall be unlawful for any person to use a coaster, roller skates, skateboards or other similar device on sidewalks ... in the area of Jayhawk Boulevard from West Campus Road to 13th St. 1000 feet on either side of this side of this corridor on the University of Kansas campus."
The law was proposed in 1992 after a series of mishaps involving skateboards and roller skates, said Sgt. Chris Keary of the KU police department.
"We were having a lot of damage done to windows," he said. "The impact point was low to the ground, so we could tell what had happened. We also had a skateboard fly off the toe of Wescoe and hit someone on the head."
Signs around campus read "No skateboarding" but not
all KU students understand that the ban on skateboards also includes in-line skates, Keary said.
Many students at the University think the law is unfair.
"I understand why they would use it for skateboards," said Madonna Sheen, Olathe junior. "But even an amateur rollerblader has more control on blades than most skateboarders do. They are two different sports and two different ways of using things."
Sheen has been in-line skating for four years and continues to skate on campus despite the law.
Keary said the police department tried to use discretion when officers caught in-line skaters on campus.
"Rarely do we ever write them up," he said. "We usually warn them and tell them that it is illegal. We might write out a citation if they weren't cooperative or were repeat offenders."
Although officers usually do not go out of their way to find and ticket in-line skaters, Keary said if he saw people skating on campus, he would stop them.
"It's illegal to do it," he said. "It's not to be done."

New store offers customers ice cream, homey ambiance
By Rachelle Detweller Kansas staff writer
Nothing cools down the summer heat like a good old-fashioned ice cream cone, and with the opening of Sylas and Maddy's Homemade Ice Cream at 1014 Massachusetts St., there is one more place in town to beat the heat.
Sylas and Maddy's serves 32 flavors of homemade ice cream. The store rotates 32 flavors from a stock of 130 varieties. Each flavor is made in-house with fresh ingredients. And because no shipping is required, the ice cream contains no preservatives, said co-owner Cindy England.
cream with a flavor unlike other stores, said England.
A scoop of ice cream atop a waffle cone costs about $2.
To ensure a homemade taste, certain varieties, such as the coconut cream pie or the watermelon sherbet, contain whole pies or fresh fruit. Even the sundaes are made with homemade brownies. Fresh ingredients are used to create a premium ice
Creating the flavors took time and several inedible errors, but the selections finally clicked, said co-owner Kevin Cole.
He also said experimenting with different recipes as a child helped him develop new flavors.
"My dad's an ice cream-aholic," said Cole. "He was constantly making ice cream when I was a kid, and I was constantly eating it. So it's like father, like son. It's fun to make up new flavors and find out what's edible."
The store creates an atmosphere for people to come in, meet and chat while eating from a selection of homestyle malts, sundaes and cones, said England.
England said people came for ice cream, but stay for the home-style environment that her family and Cole created. The co-
owners did all the work to the store themselves.
She said Cole had handmade all the tables from scrap lumber and that he also had laid the wallboard and tile. Hardwood floors and the store's name painted on the window give the store its small-town feeling.
The name is a joke between England's family and Cole. Maddy is England's dog and Sylas is Kevin's cat. What began as a battle between the differences of cats and dogs turned in to the name of their business.
England said that she hoped their ice cream was the best in town, but said she always was looking for improvements. If customers suggest a new ice cream flavor that receives England and Cole's approval, the customer will win a silver ice scoop with a wooden handle, a gift certificate to the store and the honor of having an ice cream named after them.

Dow Jones loss scares investors into selling spree
By Joyce M. Rosenberg The Associated Press
NEW YORK — It looks scary — the Dow Jones industrial average loses 247 points in one day — 565 points in just more than a week.
Is it finally time to worry about a free fall? Or is this just another of those periodic pullbacks the market goes through after climbing very high, very fast?
Wall Street had one of its most volatile weeks in years, with the Dow average dropping 336 points, including Friday's 247-point slide. Yet only the week before, on Aug. 6, the blue chip index had set a new closing high of 8,259.31, which means that the average has lost almost 7 percent in seven trading days.
It's almost inevitable since the crash of 1987, when the Dow dropped 508 points in one day.
But it's important to remember who was doing the selling Friday. It wasn't individual investors who have been pouring money into mutual funds the last few years, which has propelled the market to new highs. It was professional money managers whose jobs depend on delivering big returns for their clients.
Individual investors already have proven they can withstand a lot of volatility. They didn't abandon the market during a big slump in the summer of 1996, and they didn't flee last spring, when the Dow lost 10 percent of its value in about a month before recovering all its lost ground and climbing 1,200 points to this month's record close.
There's no reason to believe individual investors are going to bail out en masse this time. They're largely in for the long haul.
Besides, if they did want to take their money out of the market, they know they're not going to make much money by putting it in a bank certificate of deposit.

Market watchers, mindful of the fact that stocks began 1997 with the Dow at 6,448, have come to expect — and even endorse — corrections, occasional periods when traders take their profits and reassess how high the market should be.
At 7,694.66 after Friday's fall, the Dow remains more than 19 percent higher than when it began the year.
Still, the people who sold on Friday had their reasons.
Probably the biggest is that investor nervousness increases in direct proportion to the market's rising value. So people who believe that the market must inevitably fall, and worry about preserving their profits, will jump at the first sign of trouble.
The government released wholesale and consumer price reports that showed inflation remained under control, but that didn't stop investors from agonizing about the numbers.
Their concern was that the Federal Reserve's policy-writing committee will raise interest rates to ensure that inflation doesn't regain momentum. Rising interest rates make it more expensive for everyone to borrow and undermine corporate profits.
There also is a break now for sellers since President Clinton signed a bill that included lower capital gains tax rates Aug. 5.

Labor Secretary Alexis Herman continued to play an active role in keeping both sides at the table before a new work week began.
WASHINGTON — On a crucial day for the UPS talks, the Teamsters union and the company said yesterday there was movement at the bargaining table as they pursued an agreement to end the 14-day-old strike.
UPS strike talks move slowly
"There has been movement," Teamsters president Ron Carey said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
United Parcel Service CEO James Kelly, appearing on the same program, said the fact that sides were continuing to talk was encouraging.
The Associated Press
But neither side suggested an agreement was a sure thing, and the union dampened enthusiasm further.
Kelly said he was surprised when Carey called on local union leaders Friday to spread their strike actions this week.
Pressure high; no agreement on issues yet
He declined to predict when a deal might be reached but indicated the latest round of mediation — which he had not participated in — had been more productive than earlier sessions in which he participated.
our strategy ... is the right way to go," Carey said on NBC. "We're not going to permit an employer to shove a contract down the throats of our members."
For the Teams, the sticking points have been the company's unwillingness to commit to more full-time positions, limits on subcontracting and increased wages.
"No agreement has been made on any area of the contract, and it is unclear if any progress will be made," the union said.
AFL-CIO president John Sweeney, appearing on CBS "Face the Nation," called the Teamsters strike very popular because workers all across the country identify with these issues."
But after four days of talks in a hotel near the Labor Department, Herman planned to fly to Anaheim, Calif., this morning to address an American Federation of Government Employees conference.
pened during negotiations until very recently." Kelly said.
The company wants out of the Teamsters' multi-employer pension and health plans.
"Unfortunately, not much hap-
"There are two or three issues that have been discussed a lot, but this negotiation is about dozens of issues that are still unresolved," Kelly said.
Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich said the UPS strike could be the first in a series of standoffs between workers and highly profitable companies.
Carey said the fact that the company was discussing alternatives at the table showed the union was right to dismiss UPS' demand on what it called its last, best and final offer be put to a membership vote.
On a normal business day, the company delivers 12 million letters and packages. The strike is costing UPS up to $300 million weekly, and the Teamsters owe picketers $10 million in strike benefits.
The strike of 185,000 workers has greatly inconvenienced small businesses that use UPS like their own shipping departments.
The government said it lacked the legal authority to intervene, and the Clinton administration was relying on Herman to keep the parties talking. Earlier rounds of mediation ended inconclusively.
In addition to the mounting financial costs of the strike to the union, the company and the workers, Herman's continued participation elevated the talks in the public eye and kept up the pressure for a resolution.
"There has been some movement, so it's pretty clear that our position,
"What's happening here — and it's happening in a lot of other companies as well — we have now very high corporate profits," Reich said on "Fox News Sunday." "We also have very tight labor markets and we have a long expansion in which many blue collar workers have not seen their pay and benefits go up, and this is an incendial combination."
"We're not going to permit an employer to shove a contract down the throats of our members"

Public meeting to analyze ValuJet crash
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A year after the ValuJet crash in the Florida Everglades and nine years after it was first recommended, not one plane with a sealed cargo hold has been fitted with a fire detector and extinguisher, a top safety official said yesterday.
"Had that recommendation been implemented, it's only questionable whether the ValuJet accident would have happened at all," said Jim Hall, chairman of the National Transportation
Safety Board, on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Tomorrow the question of what happened and who was to blame for the May 11, 1996 crash of ValuJet Flight 592 will be the subject of a public NTSB meeting. The agency's report will analyze the accident and will assign a probable cause.
But that's far from enough to those who lost loved ones, such as Deborah Landrum of Plano, Texas. She considers the FAA criminally negligent in the crash that killed her sister.
While details of the report are not yet known, the crash has had a marked effect on the Federal Aviation Administration and the industry it regulates. Since the crash:
The FAA added hundreds of new inspectors, and teams began placing special scrutiny on startup airlines.
The top leaders of the Transportation Department and the FAA have been replaced.
New rules banned dangerous oxygen generators from airplane cargo holds. Other rules that have not yet taken effect would require fire detectors and extinguishers in the holds of all airplanes, which Hall said the NTSB first recommended in 1988.

Airline safety data became available via the Internet.
"The FAA has messed up," Landrud said. "They still, to this day, have the tombstone mentality they had a year and a half, two years ago. They need desperately to make changes."

Nuclear threat, terrorism major concerns
Both situations highly possible
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — To moviegoers, it sounds like a summer blockbuster: Terrorists threaten the nation's capital with a nuclear weapon.
To U.S. policy makers, it sounds like an increasingly possible scenario.
"People don't understand the enormity of the national security threats out there," said Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., a foreign policy and arms control expert. "We need to be vigilant: This is not a time to go to sleep at the switch."
Former National Security Adviser Anthony Lake, who is writing a book titled "Six Nightmares" detailing major threats to the U.S. government, let slip that one involves a blackmailing nuclear terrorist.
"You'll just have to wait for the book," Lake said of his other nightmare visions, explaining his publisher won't let him give a preview
National security experts list these as the top modern menaces:
—Weapons of mass destruction —nuclear, biological and chemical devices that can kill huge numbers of people and, in some cases, do immense physical damage.
—Terrorism, domestic and foreign.
-Narcotics traffic and international crime.
—Global conflicts — from beligrents in the former Yugoslavia and Russia, to the Middle East and the Persian Gulf, to Asia, particularly the Korean Peninsula and around disputed China Sea territories.
"People are most afraid of the nuclear scenario, but biological weapons produce the same number of kills and are very easy to put together," said Robert Kupperman, a terrorism expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "You could just go over a major city and spray."
What-would-happen-if scenarios have no limit.
PETER M. DUNN
Imagine the 1993 World Trade Center bombing or the 1995 Oklahoma City federal building blast with a nuclear component or a toxic cloud.
In the latest apparent terrorist threat.
Anthony Lake
two Palestinians were shot and arrested July 31 in Brooklyn, N.Y., and accused of plotting to blow up a New York City subway station with nail-loaded pipe bombs. Police said they found a note that vowed to burn the ground under America if six jailed Islamic militants weren't freed. An FBI theory stated the goal actually was extortion, the suspects seeking a $2 million reward from the State Department's program that buys information about terrorists.
Jeane Kirkpatrick, former U.S. representative to the United Nations, warns of growing ranks of extremist terrorists, both freelancers and those backed by nations such as Iran, Iraq, Syria and Libya.
"I think it's related — outlaw nations working all the time to acquire weapons of

mass destruction and the continued spread of a kind of radical extremism, carried on often in the name of Islam," Kirkpatrick said.
As the United States and Russia – the only major nuclear powers – reduce their arsenals, Washington is working to prevent other nations from developing such weapons, especially rogue states.
In June, President Bill Clinton, at a Denver summit with world leaders, emphasized how America has enlisted other nations to fight nuclear terrorism, including tightened controls on plutonium stockpiles and a rapid-response network to prevent nuclear smuggling.
Congress, meanwhile, has ratified
a treaty outlawing use, development, production, possession and transfer of chemical weapons. More than 80 other nations have ratified it.
Stopping rogue states from gaining weapons of mass destruction is not a straightforward matter. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright has praised China for cooperating with the United States to contain North Korea's suspected nuclear weapons program. At the same time, the CIA considers China the world's leading exporter of technology for weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear missiles.
The CIA lists Iran and Pakistan as leading buyers — from Chinese and Russian sources — of materials that could be used in nuclear, chemical and biological weapons.
India, which has warred with Pakistan three times since 1947, has resumed its long-range ballistic missile program. India exploded a nuclear device in 1974.
The CIA, which focused on the Soviet threat during the Cold War, has now turned its attention to individuals worldwide involved in terrorism, weapons proliferation and drug trafficking, said CIA director George Tenet. The FBI, which in 1994 got worldwide jurisdiction under U.S. law over the federal crime of terrorism, is working with the CIA as it opens two dozen overseas offices.
On narcotics and organized crime, law enforcers are cracking down on networks among the Italian Mafia, Russia mobs, Japanese yakuza, Chinese triads and Colombian and Mexican drug lords.
Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., detailed in his book "The New War" what he called the web of crime that threatens America's security." As an example, he wrote of a Russian hit man sent to New York City to kill an uncooperative store owner. The shooter got fake papers by supplying the Sicilian Mafia with Soviet Army surplus ground-to-air missiles to smuggle into the Balkans to supply the Bosnian Serbs with the firepower to take on U.N. security forces."
Children organize march against the death penalty
"America is the great prize for criminals," Kerry concluded.
The Associated Press
FARMINGTON, Pa. — Elevenyear-old Vernita Arnold proudly shows off a stack of colorful drawings from her best pen pal, Danny Gwynn.
Most of Gwynn's drawings are of flowers and birds but one stands out with images of bricks and flames. The artist, a former crack addict, is on Pennsylvania's death row for setting an apartment building fire that killed a woman.
Vernita, a member of the pacifist Christian Bruderhof community has never asked him about his crime and knows only that he is sorry.
"The government is killing people to show them killing is wrong."
Like their spiritual relatives, the Amish, the Bruderhof communities don't allow television and shelter their children from violence.
Lauren Bruce
Bruderhof child
However, they are politically active, and Vernita and fellow sixth-grader Sandra Scott were so impressed by Gwynn and other death-row inmates that they organized a 30-mile, three-day march against capital punishment.
They expect at least 500 people to join them in their "Children's Crusade to Death Row," heading to the Greene State Prison near Waynesburg.
Most will be children from other Bruderhof communities in Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New York and New England. They expect to be
joined by non-Bruderhof school groups from Philadelphia and New York City, by families from Virginia, Massachusetts, the district of Columbia, West Virginia and Indiana.
Despite living in a world that shuns television, the 200 children at the New Meadow Run and Spring Valley Bruderhof communities in Farmington, about 50 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, have waged a high-tech public relations campaign for the march.
Phone calls, faxes, e-mails and even a Web site have helped get the word out. Bruderhof students painted signs and wrote and recorded 16 songs that will be played during the march. They hope donations and sales of T-shirts, buttons and audio tapes will cover most of the $40,000 cost of feeding, housing and promoting the marchers.
The Bruderhofs have eight communities that claim about 3,000 members overall. Founded in the 1920s in Germany, they are an offshoot of the Anabaptist movement that includes the Amish and Mennonites, and believe in simple living centered on work and family.
Vernita and Sandra, fervent in their opposition to the death penalty, are unsure what crimes their pen pals have committed.
"We don't talk to them about that," said freckle-faced Sandra.
"It makes them sad," Vernita adds.
It makes them said, *vernia audae.*
"He probably is guilty," Vernita said of Gwynn, "but he definitely is sorry for what he has done."
The children's zeal and naivete about their pen pals have provoked rage from victims' relatives. Some have confronted the students at rallies outside prisons and others have called or written to complain.
The Bruderhof children involved in the march stress their sympathy for crime victims' families but hold fast to meticulously outlined arguments against capital punishment.
"The government is killing people to show them killing is wrong," said Lauren Bruce, 13.
"We don't want them to be free necessarily, but we say they should be reformed," said Christina Swinger, 14.
Virginia Military Institute ends males-only enrollment policy
Same discipline to apply to women
The Associated Press
LEXINGTON, Va. — Jen Jolen grew up just over the mountains from the Virginia Military Institute, keenly aware it was a place where only the strong succeed. This week, she tests her own strength.
She and 30 other young women will end VMI's 158-year males-only enrollment policy when they report to the campus today.
"It's scary, it really is," Jolen said. "Anybody who says they're not scared is crazy."
For that matter, VMI, the last state-supported college to exclude women. is anxious, too.
No one here wants to suffer the scandals that beset The Citadel after Shannon Faulkner in 1995 became the first woman to enroll at the South Carolina military college.
The federal government battled in court for six years to force VMI to accept women and will watch closely for any sign females are being treated unfairly. VMI is under court order to file quarterly progress reports.
VMI spent millions of dollars
fighting a justice Department lawsuit filed in 1989 on behalf of a still unidentified Virginia woman who was denied admission. Last summer, the Supreme Court ruled that if the school accepts tax money it must accept women.
VMI conceded defeat but refused to soften its rigid discipline. Women will wear the same drill uniforms and buzz haircuts as the men. They will live in spartan barracks. No lipstick. No jewelry. No dating upperclassmen.
After VMI's Board of Visitors voted 9-8 last September to accept women rather than go private to stay all-male, Superintendent Josiah Bunting set in motion detailed planning for the transition.
Last semester, with The Citadel reeling from accounts that male cadets had tormented and driven away two female freshmen, Bunting required all 1,200 cadets and 400 employees at VMI to undergo a coeducation orientation and attend seminars on sexual harassment and fraternization.
"If you see something happen that is untoward, you must act," Bunting warned the cadets. "Any activity that is seen to be nefarious or untoward will be on CNN in Sacramento five minutes after it
happens in Lexington."
"All eyes are on VMI," said Kevin Trujillo, this year's senior class president. "Some are just salivating at the thought of our failure. All it will take is the mistake of one person."
Bunting has met many of the incoming freshman women and is impressed with them.
Bunting's warning to the men of VMI is explicit.
"If someone misbehaves or, God forbid, if someone sexually harasses or physically hazes a cadet or anything like that, they will be punished immediately and severely," he said. "I will not stand for it."
Some older cadets worry that the in-your-face discipline and physical, mental and emotional rigors placed on all freshmen may come across as sexual harassment. At VMI, freshmen are known as rats, and for six months, their lives resemble Marine Corps boot camp with a heavy dose of academics.
They must crisply salute upper-classmen and obey their orders. An incorrect answer about VMI trivia puts them on the ground doing pushups. They walk everywhere like automatons, arms held straight and unmoving at their sides and chins tucked against their chests.

Cuban church awaits papal visit
The Associated Press
HAVANA — Cuba's Roman Catholic Church, repressed for years under the island's Marxist regime, hopes a visit by Pope John Paul II will help it regain the freedom it needs to exercise its ministry.
Cuban bish-
Cuban bishops are encouraged by a slow but increasingly visible revival of Catholicism. To push the revival further, however, the church will need things the government may not be willing to give access to news media and its own system of education, among others.
John Duell II
John Paul II
The Cuban government needs the papal visit in January to project a more tolerant image abroad. The church needs it as a lever to widen its sphere of influence in Cuban society.
Religious officials, while empha
sizing the pastoral aspect of the visit, recognize that it could have political repercussions. The church sees itself as an agent of peaceful change in Cuban society at a time when the Marxist system is under pressure.
"The gospel must become alive in man and transform his life, give him what he is searching for," said Monsignor Emilio Aranguren, bishop of Cienfuegos and secretary-general of the Catholic Bishops Conference. "Faith makes an impact and inspires commitments."
The Pope's visit to Cuba was arranged last year when President Fidel Castro met John Paul at the Vatican.
"This is good for the government," said Enrique Lopez Oliva, professor of history at Cuba's National University. "The visit is a symbolic break of the embargo and the isolation of Cuba."
"The government knows that the church is the only organized institution that can face up to it," he said. "But the church is not going to fight for power. It wants to be an instrument of reconciliation in

a time of transition."
In Cuba, the Catholic Church has never played the significant political and social role it did in other in other Spanish-speaking countries, said Jorge Ramirez Calzadilla, director of the Center for Psychological and Sociological Research.
As winds of independence swept the region, Cuba remained strongly attached to Spain by a conservative ruling class that kept slavery legal until 1885.
While in other countries the church evangelized the Indians, in
Cuba it largely ignored the black population that mixed handed-down African religions and Catholicism to create a religion now known as Santeria.
The socialist revolution that brought Castro to power in 1969 caught the church before the renovating movement of the Vatican II Council, and the clergy was still conservative.
Church leaders criticized the revolution, which in turn repressed religion and declared it an obstacle to socialism.
In 1993, the church issued a strong pastoral letter in which it criticized Cuba's political and economic policies and a state security system that created a fear whose reasons no one knows.
John Paul may have played a major role in bringing down communism in his native Poland, but Ramirez said he does not expect the pope to attack the Cuban system of government.
"It would be like hitting the weak and it would not look good internationally," he said. "But he could use the visit to ask for more spaces for the church."
Ethiopian drought worse than previously thought
Quick LOOK
ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia — An estimated 3.5 million people will need emergency food aid this year because of drought in central and southern Ethiopia, the Ethiopian News Agency said Saturday.
There was no immediate explanation for the difference.
The National Meteorological Service said the drought resulted from the El Nino current.
The estimate, compiled by relief officials from three regions, is nearly three times higher than figures announced by the federal disaster agency two weeks ago.
Ethiopia, a country of 60 million people, suffers from periodic food shortages. In 1984, a combination of civil conflict, bad weather and political maneuvering resulted in a devastating famine.

Palestinians to boycott Israeli products
Ban a result of Israeli sanctions after bombing
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM — Yassar Arafat's government vowed to gradually implement a boycott of Israeli products to counter the travel bans and economic sanctions Israel imposed on Palestinians after a deadly suicide bombing.
Israeli officials accused Arafat of trying to divert attention from Israel's security concerns and failing to crack down on Islamic militants blamed for the July 30 bombing that killed 14 Israelis in Jerusalem.
After the attack, Israel closed its borders with the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, blocking 100,000 Palestinian workers from their jobs in Israel. It also cut off tax
revenues used to pay Palestinian police and other government workers.
Khaled Salam, Arafat's economic adviser, said the boycott of Israeli products was approved in principle by a Cabinet committee, but that it was unclear how soon the boycott would begin.
"We will start a gradual embargo of Israeli products because we want the Israeli producers to feel the effect of the closure, too." Salam told The Associated Press.
When Israel sealed the borders, it was a major blow to the accords. A politically motivated boycott by Palestinians would be close to a total breakdown in the peace process.
Pakistanian officials at the Gaza border crossing said they had not received orders to prevent entry of Israeli goods. A Trade Ministry official said the embargo would initially apply to cigarettes, soft drinks, chocolate, cookies and
other items which could be replaced by Palestinian products.
Salam told reporters the Palestinian Authority would contact Israeli business leaders.
A
Yaaasar Arafat
including the local makers of Pepsi and Coca-Cola. He said they would face a boycott if they did not help put pressure on Israel.
The Palestinian Authority said about $9 million worth of Israeli goods are imported into the West Bank and Gaza Strip every day.
Despite U.S. diplomatic efforts to get the sides talking again, tension and name-calling were on the increase. Both sides warned the peace process was near collapse, and David Bar-Ilan, a senior aide to Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyah, said if Arafat failed to act on security in the next days, it would pose a very difficult problem for Israel.
"I can't say what would happen," said Bar-Ilan.
Israel wants Arafat's government to put more effort into arresting Palestinians believed responsible for planning attacks on Israel, such as the July 30 attack by two suicide bombers.
The British government does not comment on intelligence matters
"The Sunday Telegraph" of London reported that Israel's intelligence chief, Ami Ayalon, had flown to London to work with British intelligence officers on investigating reports that the bombers entered Israel with British passports and had financial support from militants based in London.
Hanan Ashrawi, education minister in Arafat's Cabinet, said Israeli accusations about Palestinian inaction in arresting suspected militants displayed an attitude of blatant patronage and even racism.
"We are not passing an Israeli test. We are not subject to Israeli evaluation," Ashrawi said in an interview. "We are not agents of Israeli security. We will not arrest people in accordance to Israeli demands."
She warned that too much pressure from the United States or any other country could lead to another explosion of violence.
"I am afraid that such pressures will backfire," she said.
She also urged the United States not to pressure the Palestinian Authority to support a scheduled Mideast economic conference to be held in Qatar in November.
Bar-Ilan expressed concern about Arafat's plans to convene a meeting Wednesday of all Palestinian groups — including the militant factions of Hamas and Islamic Jihad, which Israel says are involved in terrorism.
NATO moves to calm feuding among Serbs
Police for two factions of Bosnian Serbs clash
The Associated Press
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia — NATO-led forces stepped in yesterday to prevent a standoff between police backing Bosnian Serb President Biljana Plavic and those of her opponents from breaking into violence.
The peacekeeping force was sent to Bosnia in 1995 to separate Muslims, Serbs and Croats after a 3 1/2-year war. However, bitter disputes have emerged among Serb factions that threaten to split their half of Bosnia in two.
Journalists in Banja Luka, Plavsić's headquarters in northwest Bosnia, said police loyal to her had marched into the town's main police station early yesterday and had seized transcripts of what had been reported to be her telephone calls, apparently bugged by opponents.
Plavisc is engaged in a protracted dispute with officials in Pale, the Serb headquarters just outside Sarajevo, which she accuses of corruption and continued loyalty to Bosnian Serb strongman Radovan Karadzic, the top war crimes suspect.
Police loyal to Plavski were surrounded by about 150 policemen armed with pistols, and the NATO-led peace force surrounded
"In no case will violence be tolerated."
Maj. John Blakeley
NATO representative
both of those groups with a force that included armored vehicles, the journalists said.
"The interest of international organizations is in ensuring that the matter is resolved peacefully," said NATO spokesman Maj. John Blakeley in Sarajevo. "In no case will violence be tolerated."
He said the peace force was reestablishing control in the area.
NATO officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said they had turned down a request from Karadzic ally Momcilo Krajisnik in Pale to send another unit of well-equipped special police to Bania Luka.
In any case, the dispute illustrated the worsening divisions among Serbs.
The Bosnian Serb Constitutional Court on Friday said Plavsic did not have the authority to dissolve parliament and to call new elections. But a top Plavsic aide said yesterday that the president would ignore the ruling and would go ahead with new elections.
Thais march for constitutional change
The Associated Press
BANGKOK, Thailand — Thousands of pro-democracy activists launched a campaign for constitutional change to enhance civil liberties and combat corruption with a march yesterday in the heart of Bangkok.
The draft constitution will go next month before a Parliament controlled largely by conservative politicians likely to oppose its passage.
Wearing light green caps symbolizing birth and progress, several thousand supporters waved
Thai flags and handed out booklets that included the 336-article document, passed 99-7 by the Constitution Drafting Assembly on Friday.
Debate about the constitution comes at a time of economic crisis and widespread dissatisfaction with the government of Prime Minister Chavalit Yongchaiyudh.
The country needed a $16 billion bailout engineered by the International Monetary Fund, and Chavalit was compelled to revamp his Cabinet on Friday in the wake of allegations that some
of his top ministers were corrupt. Chavalit's coalition, which holds a majority in Parliament, has spoken out against many aspects of the draft constitution and could quash it. But some analysts say the embattled leader may drop his opposition for fear of sparking public unrest.
Should the majority in the House of Representatives and Senate fail to pass the draft in its entirety, the constitution will be presented in the first referendum in Thai history. The parliamentary vote has been scheduled for Sept. 26.
Starving children in Korea face bleak future
Harvest predicted to be extremely small because of drought
The Associated Press
BELIING — North Korea's children are so malnourished they might never recover fully and harvests this fall could be as little as one-eighth of normal because of a severe drought, a Red Cross official said yesterday.
"They've already written off the corn crop," said Jon Valfells of the International Federation of Red Cross Societies, who returned Saturday from a 10-day tour of
relief centers in the hunger-stricken country.
In addition, Valfells said, farmers have been told to dig drainage channels to protect the tiny rice crop because such dry seasons often are followed by torrential rains.
This will be the third straight bad harvest for North Korea, a hard-line communist nation already suffering from agricultural mismanagement and floods that ravaged crops in 1955 and 1996.
Food shortages have forced North Korea to set aside its tradition of defiant self-reliance and accept thousands of tons of food from China, Japan, rival South Korea and the United States.
U. N. experts say 60 to 70 percent of the corn crop was wiped out by the drought. North Korean officials have said the drought will affect the rice harvest, but haven't give an estimate of the damage.
North Korean officials told relief agencies last month that 37 percent of children are malnourished.
Valfells said doctors told him that children have gone hungry so long that many will suffer stunted growth and mental problems even if they start eating well again.
"The most striking thing was that there were these 3-year-old children who have never had enough to eat in their whole lives," he said. "That's a whole generation being affected."
Five Kenyans die during raid; explosion kills four at party
The Associated Press
MOMBASA, Kenya — Machete-
wielding youths killed at least five
people, burned houses and sent
hundreds of terrified residents packing
along Kenya's coast yesterday.
Officials said police shot and killed one suspected raider. His body reportedly was burned by angry residents.
Police spokesman Francis Gichuki said at least 26 people have died and scores have been injured since Wednesday, when armed raiders killed seven police and set ablaze their station at Likoni. Likoni is south of the Indian Ocean port of Mombasa. The death toll has been estimated at 30. Gichuki said 69 arrests had been made.
Also yesterday, four people were killed in an explosion in Muranga, 30 miles north of the capital, Nairobi. A journalist for the state-run Kenya Broadcasting Corp. said an explosive device went off during a wedding party for a police officer. It wasn't known if the bride or groom were among the dead.
Gichuki dismissed claims that the violence around Mombasa could be politically motivated, but offered little evidence to the contrary.
"We are treating it as a pure thugery," he said.
Political and ethnic tensions are on the rise ahead of this year's elections. On Saturday, two opposition leaders accused President Daniel arap Moi's government of orchestrating the violence in Mombasa to create an excuse for a crackdown on the opposition. The 1992 elections were marred by similar state-sponsored ethnic clashes.
Those clashes erupted soon after Moi caved in to local and international pressure to legalize multi-party politics. In opposing pluralism, Moi had argued that it would cause conflict among the approximately 40 tribes in Kenya.
Moi is again under pressure to enact constitutional reforms and scrap colonial-era laws that his opponents say give the 73-year-old president and his ruling party an unfair edge.
More than a dozen people were killed when pro-reform demonstrations turned violent in July and August.
Kenyans from others parts of the country come to Mombasa, the gateway to resorts on the Indian Ocean, in search of jobs in the lucrative tourism industry or on the docks.
A heavy police presence did not prevent an attack on the Mombasa area's biggest shantytown, Shauri Yaki. Youths with knives, machetes and spears set more than 30 houses ablaze, destroyed street kiosks and stabbed five people to death.
Raiders appeared to be targeting Kenyans from others parts of the country.

Allied bombs from World War II still pose danger to German cities
Building boom increases risks
The Associated Press
BERLIN — Hidden bombs stop urgent dike repairs along the swollen Oder River. Another bomb forces Merck Pharmaceuticals to evacuate laboratories and a computer center. Even President Roman Herzog has had to clear out of his Berlin palace — twice in two weeks.
The explosives found this summer weren't planted by criminals or terrorists, but fell from the air more than 50 years ago.
Although millions of unexploded
bombs and artillery shells have been cleared and defused since World War II, officials estimate thousands remain buried all over Germany. Most are still live and potentially explosive.
It's hard to comprehend that such a danger still exists, said Peter Jung, who heads a special Berlin fire department unit in charge of defusing the lethal leaf-overs.
Experts estimate 5 percent of the 440,000 Allied bombs dropped on Berlin failed to explode due to faulty fuses, poor assembly, bad angle of impact and other reasons.
The Germans dispatched units of engineers after each bombing run to defuse the duds. But many buried deep in the rubble were missed.
building sites, anywhere from six feet to 40 feet underground.
They turn up now most often at
More than 1,700 bombs have been recovered in western Berlin since the war. The emphasis is now on the east, where construction is booming because of the government's plan to move the capital back to Berlin by 2000.
"In the western half of the city, a lot of munitions were found and cleared away in the last 40 or 50 years," said Hans-Juergen Gembus, head of Berlin's munitions removal department. "This still lies before us in the east."
To make matters worse, the duds become more unstable as they age and corrode. "With certain ignition mechanisms, they can also go off by
themselves." Gembus said.
After 1983, Berlin started using Allied aerial photos to help locate possible duds. Four people in Gumbus' 14-man office are still poring over such pictures, laying them over other shots to produce three-dimensional images.
"It's not easy," he said. "You have to imagine, the impact crater of a bomb that doesn't go off is about the size of a pinhead in such a picture."
When a bomb is found, the actual defusing is usually quick — 30 minutes or so, said Jung, the Berlin squad leader.
The unit, set up in the 1950s, has not had a fatality in 40 years.
Gembus and Jung both expect to be kept busy for at least another 10 years.
Forces push forward in Cambodia
Hun Sen's soldiers nearer to O'Smach, enemy's final fort
The Associated Press
P'ONG VILLAGE, Cambodia—Forces loyal to Cambodian coup leader Hun Sen pushed to within four miles of the last opposition stronghold yesterday, pounding that enclave with artillery and rocket fire.
Soldiers at the front said they had been ordered to seize the town of O'Smach within three days. More than 15,000 resistance fighters and civilians have fled to the besieged town on the Thai border.
First Premier Prince Norodom Ranardidh was deposed July 5-6 in a bloody coup led by Second Premier Hun Sen, with whom he had shared power. Soldiers and civilians loyal to Ranaridh d飞 Phnom Penh and other areas, heading into Cambodia's jungled north. O'Smach is their last stronghold.

forces despite artillery fire from the opposition and a multitude of homemade mines and booby traps.
Despite those successes, the campaign in northern Cambodia has been tough going and Hun Sen's troops could not meet his order to capture O'Smach by last Friday.
Sporadic shelling around O'Smach from Hun Sen gunners continued yesterday, but civilians were calmer than the day before, when shell bursts sparked a panicked rush towards the border.
Thai authorities have strung barbed wire along the border to prevent such a stampede, but say they will grant temporary asylum to unarmed Cambodians whose lives were in danger.
Many families have loaded up wooden carts with belongings in preparation of fleeing to Thailand.
The hospital at Samrong, the main town in the region and now in Hun Sen's hands, was overflowing with patients suffering from land mine explosions, malaria and tuberculosis. Samrong is 20 miles from the Thai border.

Hundreds of villagers who had fled to Samrong were beginning to return to their villages by oxcarct or on foot to try to save rice that should have been harvested a month ago.
About 600 Khmer Rouge guerrillas, the terror of Cambodia in the mid-1970s, have allied themselves with Ranarddh's forces, said Thai Border Patrol Police officers. The guerrillas are based in Anlong Veng. 35 miles east of O'Smach, which has served as the headquarters of the now splintered and much weakened Khmer
Rouge.
Troops loyal to Hun Sen said a major offensive also was being planned against Anlong Veng, but this could not be independently confirmed.
Thai officers said the warring sides held negotiations yesterday but these were broken off by Ranariddh's forces. It was not known whether the Hun Sen forces were pressing for their opponents' surrender.
Ranariddh, meanwhile, arrived in the Philippines yesterday as part of an effort to gain support for his fight against Hun Sen. He was scheduled to meet President Fidel Ramos and other officials today.
Ranariddh, who flew in from Bangkok, Thailand, said he would speak to the press only after meeting Ramos.
Ranardidh had earlier met the leaders of Singapore and Indonesia but Thailand's prime minister refused to receive him.
Ranariddh next plans a tour of Southeast Asian nations, and then hopes to visit Japan, Germany and Brussels, seat of the European Commission, the 20-member governing panel of the European Union.
Congo president ready to mediate local conflict
The Associated Press
KINSHASA, Congo — With his country of Congo directly affected by fighting in the neighboring Republic of Congo, President Laurent Kabila said he is willing to try to mediate an end to the crisis that has killed hundreds and caused a refugee exodus.
State-run television said Kabila's decision followed a meeting Saturday afternoon with Republic of Congo president Pascal Lissouba. Lissouba's forces have been fighting militiamen loyal to that country's former military ruler, Gen. Denis Sassou-Nguesso, since June 5.
Thousands of refugees have fled across the river to escape the fighting. The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees estimates some 20,000 refugees are in Congo's capital of Kinshasa, most of them staying with friends and family members and not in dire need of assistance.
But several thousand are housed at a refugee camp north
of the capital, and others have set up a makeshift camp outside the Congolese Embassy in downtown Kinshasa.
Kabilla called for a cessation of hostilities and said he also was open to talks with Sassou-Nguesso.
"Why not?" he said in a television interview broadcast on the state-run news. "One must meet, discuss things, listen."
Mediation attempts so far have failed to make substantial headway or bring Lissouba and Sassou-Nguesso together for direct talks.
Kabila also said he supported the idea of an African intervention force playing a role in bringing peace to the country.
Lissouba has accused Sassou-Nguesso of using outside help, including forces from the old army of former dictator Mobutu Sese Seko, whom Kabila ousted from power when he seized Kinshasa in May. Many of Mobutu's soldiers fled to Brazzaville after Kabila's victory.
Pakistani singer dies at age 49 career spanned three decades
Musician was known to Western audience
The Associated Press
LAHORE, Pakistan — Beating their chests and wailing in anguish, hundreds bid farewell yesterday to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, whose mesmerizing, spiritual singing brought the devotional music of Islam to the West.
vesterday morning.
Students, friends and family members embraced and cried at Khan's unfinished house in Lahore, where his body was taken
Khan, whose songs appeared in the films "Dead Man Walking" and "Natural Born Killers," was Pakistan's most popular musician.
Soaked in sweat, anguished men and women knelt before his body, running their shaking hands over the casket or lightly touching their foreheads to the wood.
"I have lost my world," said his younger brother, Farukh Ali Khan. "There is nothing left here."
Khan, considered one of the world's greatest singers of Sufi devotional music, died at a London hospital Saturday of a heart attack. He was 49.
Sufis are Islamic mystics, and music plays a key role in many of their rituals.
Khan's career spanned three decades and in recent years had drawn a growing Western audience to the music's fierce passion.

Proposed tobacco deal will not affect profits of cigarette makers
Health groups divided about stricter policy
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — An internal Treasury Department audit said cigarette makers could profit hand-somely from a proposed tobacco deal, a finding that puts additional pressure on President Clinton to increase the cost of the controversial settlement.
The audit concluded that tobacco companies will raise cigarette prices just enough — an estimated 62 cents a pack — to offset the 7 percent of Americans who might quit smoking rather than pay more.
Treasury officials wouldn't comment on the audit. But, the Associated Press has learned that it confirms private economists' predictions on the how deal will
help the tobacco industry.
"When you look hard at the proposed settlement, all indications are that the industry will remain very profitable for the long term," said David Kessler, the former Food and Drug Administration chief who is advising Clinton and Congress on the deal.
To settle 40 state lawsuits, tobacco companies agreed in June to pay $368 billion during 25 years and curb advertising. In return, they would win protection from smokers' lawsuits and restrictions on how heavily the FDA can regulate nicotine.
Clinton has said the FDA must have more authority over nicotine, and is contemplating other changes.
But the deal could unravel if this so-called list (of changes) means increasing the money figures or regulatory provisions, warned lead tobacco negotiator J. Phil Carlton.
Industry warnings aside, health groups are splintering just weeks after they joined Kessler and former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop to
All indications are that the industry will remain very profitable.
David Kessler former FDA chief
propose a national tobacco policy far stricter than the deal.
The American Medical Association quietly formed a new lobbying effort with 11 health groups to draft for Congress a list of acceptable compromises.
The AMA's Thomas Houston said the new group merely is pragmatic and doesn't want to wait until Congress rejects the tough Koop-Kessler plan — as is expected — before outlining doctors' true bottom line.
The American Lung Association, which is not part of the AMA's new effort, said Clinton should heed the dissension.
"There's going to be a major backlash if this bailout becomes law," said President John Garrison. The Treasury audit found that if cigarette companies raised prices 50 cents a pack, smoking would drop 5 percent but they would still take in the $15 billion a year needed to make annual settlement payments.
If companies increased prices 62 cents a pack, smoking would drop by only 2 more percentage points — or 7 percent overall — leaving the industry with additional profits after the payments, the audit found.
Raising cigarette prices $1 to $2 a pack, however, would drop smoking by double digits and threaten the industry's extra profits
Republicans attack Clinton tuition plan
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — As President Clinton promoted new college scholarships and tax breaks on Saturday, his refusal to spend public money on private school tuition drew personal criticism from Republicans.
"We want every child in America to have the same choice as Chelsea Clinton," Minnesota Gov. Arne Carlson said in the weekly GOP radio address. The president's 17-year-old daughter recently graduated from Sidwell Friends, a private prep school in Washington.
"What are Democrats so afraid of when it comes to choice, competition and accountability in our schools? .. A few more national tests, a few more summits and a truckload of tax dollars will
not solve the problem," Carlson said.
In his own broadcast,

parents to telephone the Education Department's toll-free hot line (1-800-872-5327) to find out how they can take advantage of higher education programs just signed into law as part of the balanced-budget package.
In the Republican response, Carlson touted Minnesota's program of tax deductions for tutoring, summer enrichment camps, private or parochial school tuition and other educational purposes.

Brutality charges outrage mayor, city
Local Agent - 24 hour Service - Lawrence, KS
Attack on Haitian just one of many minority leaders say
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — A second police officer has been charged in the brutal torture of a Haitian immigrant who said he was sodomized with a toilet plunger in the bathroom of a Brooklyn police station.
Officer Charles Schwarz, 31, turned himself in amid a sweeping Internal Affairs Bureau investigation.
Officer Justin Vope, 25, surrendered after the victim, Abner Louima, identified him through a photo.
A grand jury indicted both officers on charges of aggravated sex abuse
and first-degree assault. Each offense carries a maximum penalty of 25 years in prison.
Officials refused to detail Schwarz's alleged role. But a police source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said he was suspected of holding down Louma while Volpe sodomized him.
Louima, a 30-year-old legal immigrant who works as a security guard, also claims the officers called him a "stupid nigger" and invoked Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's name during the attack, saying that it was "Giuliani time."
Schwarz was one of a dozen officers besides Volpe pulled off active duty and stripped of their guns and badges. The precinct commander has been transferred.
A fellow officer provided information that helped the grand jury indict, Giuliani said.
A coalition of Haitian organizations said the attack fits a pattern of police brutality against minorities. Likewise, Norman Siegel, head of the New York Civil Liberties Union, argued that such an attack could happen in a dozen other neighborhoods.
The mayor and police leaders said the attack was an aberration that has outraged the 38,000-officer force.
Asked about the alleged Giuliani time remark, the mayor responded that if in fact any cop had said it, the cop didn't know what he or the police department stood for, nor did he deserve to be a member of the New York Police Department.
Gulliani, a former prosecutor running for re-election, has towed New York as the safest big city in America.
In the last four years, reports of
serious crime are down 54 percent citywide, and 51 percent in the 70th Precinct. Civilian complaints against police fell more than 20 percent in the first half of this year.
Both officers charged had previous civilian complaints filed against them. An accusation that Vope punched, kicked and cursed a man was not substantiated; Schwarz was suspended for 15 days for slapping someone in the face while on-duty.
Louma was arrested early Aug. 9 during a scuffle with officers outside a Brooklyn nightclub and was taken to the stationhouse. Internal Affairs is also investigating an hour-and-a-half delay in getting Louma to a hospital.
Louima's injuries include a torn rectum and lacerated bladder, and he now requires a catheter and colostomy bag. Additionally, some of his teeth also were knocked out.

Man blind in one eye to become firefighter
Blanket exclusions banned in lawsuit
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A man blind in one eye will be hired as a firefighter under a settlement of the first employment discrimination lawsuit filed by the Justice Department under the Americans With Disabilities Act.
Dennis Henderson, subject of the December 1994 suit, will join the Pontiac, Mich., Fire Department and receive back pay, pension benefits and seniority, the department announced.
"Employers cannot base hiring decisions on blanket exclusions that deny qualified individuals a chance to seek employment," said Isabelle Katz Pinzler, acting assistant attorney general for civil rights.
Henderson, 38, has 18 years of firefighting experience. He applied for a full-time job in Pontiac in April 1991 and placed seventh among 107 applicants.
He was offered a job by the Pontiac department in 1992 and took a pre-employment physical, which showed he had vision in only one eye. When the city learned of the disability it withdrew the job offer, the lawsuit said.
Henderson lost his right eye in a BB gun accident when he was a teen-ager. He said it never posed a threat in his duties as a firefighter. The Justice Department said there were firefighters with one eye in other cities, including San Diego and Los Angeles.
It said the Pontiac Fire Department had modified its hiring policies to insure similar discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities does not occur in the future.
Pontiac officials said they fought the lawsuit because National Fire Protection Association standards required vision in two eyes.
Henderson said he was eager to get to work.
"I'm just glad it's over with and I'm happy with the outcome," he said.

pound satellite into the shuttle cargo bay.
During its flight, the Germanbuilt satellite collected enough data to fill more than a quarterton of computer disks, said Robert Conway, a Naval Research Laboratory scientist in charge of its ultraviolet telescope.
Virtually all the information was stored in the satellite. Only a tiny percentage was transmitted to ground controllers — just enough to show the instruments were working properly.
It will be at least a month before the satellite is unloaded and Conway and other scientists get their data.
As part of the ozone study, NASA and the German space agency launched more than 65 small rockets and weather balloons and flew a plane equipped with atmospheric monitors over Europe. The launches and flights were timed to coincide with the satellite measurements.

Government investigates Ford sunroofs
Motorists report 19 minor injuries
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Bill Schaeffer was driving on the Long Island Expressway when the sunroof on his 1992 Ford Explorer suddenly blew off of the sport utility vehicle.
"I looked in the rearview mirror and I saw the sunroof flying like a little helicopter, and it was heading right for the car behind me," Schaeffer said.
"I was nervous because it was
heading level with the driver, but by the time it had gotten to the car it had dropped downward into his bumper and then went below the car," said the stockbroker from South Huntington, N.Y.
Schaeffer is among 170 motorists who have complained that the sunroofs on their Ford Explorers either blew off while they were driving or suddenly shattered.
The government's highway safety agency recently upgraded its investigation into the sunroofs on Ford Explorers for model years 1991-94 to determine if there is a defect.
The National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration also is looking into the sunroofs on 1991-94 Mazda Navajos. The Explorer and Navajo are equipped with the same optional, factory-installed sunroof glass panel made by Ford and Webasto Sunroof, Inc. of Rochester Hills, Mich.
Karen Shaughnessy, Ford representative, said the company was cooperating fully with NHTSA. Attempts to reach Webasto officials were unsuccessful.
There have been 104 reports of Explorer sunroofs blowing off vehicles and 66 reports of sunroofs shattering without any evidence of them being hit by an object,
according to government records. There is one complaint of a Mazda Navajo sunroof shattering.
Nineteen minor injuries were reported, mostly minor cuts passengers said were from the shattered glass. The government has two reports of sunroofs striking other automobiles.
There are about 292,000 of the 1991-1994 Ford Explorer with the sunroofs on the road and about 34,000 Navajos.
Lou Camp, Ford's director of automotive safety, said in February the matter was unrelated to a design or manufacturing defect but instead involved customer
His memo to the government said the sunroof could be scratched or chipped when motorists manually removed and stored it and that motorists might reinstall it improperly.
usage issues.
However, Schaeffer and his wife, Linda, said they never manually removed their sunroof.
Schaeffer was taking his 15-year-old daughter and two of her friends to a basketball tournament on June 13, traveling at about 55 mph near Little Neck, N.Y., when he heard what sounded like an air leak. He tightened the sunroof with a manual dial to seal it and
said the sunroof then flew off.
He pulled to the side of the road to make sure the driver of the other car was not hurt. He could not recover the shattered sunroof from the busy expressway.
The Schaefers said replacing the sunroof cost $819, but they don't use the new one because they are afraid of another incident.
Ford recalled 2,500 sunroofs on 1991 model year Ford Explorers in June 1990 to install redesigned hinges. Ford said the glass panel could fall out if the owner reinstalled it improperly. The recall affected vehicles built before May 1991, records show.
Hikers beware: check the guide
Inexperience may be factor in deaths
The Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — Every year, tourists flock to the West to run wild rivers, climb mountains and hike desert canyons, counting on outfitters and guides to see them safely through.
But in an industry where oversight varies from state to state, nothing guarantees that wilderness guides are the outdoor veterans they claim to be.
"It really is an example of the old adage, "Let the buyer beware," says Terry Messmer, a Utah State University extension wildlife specialist.
"You need to check their level of experience, whether they're full time, half time or just moonlighting for a few extra dollars."
Investigators hope to learn whether inexperience may have been a factor in the drownings last week of 11 people on a TrekAmerica expedition deep inside northern Arizona's Antelope Canyon.
Only the guide, Poncho Quintana,
28, survived the flash flood that swept
hikers away at the Navajo Nation site.
Quintana had received 21 days of guide training from TrekAmerica and had led tours through steep, narrow Antelope Canyon two or three times, said Jack Akhus, the company's Los Angeles-based personnel manager.
But Aakhus said no training could have prepared Quintana for such a
sudden, fierce flood, or helped him keep his hikers from being swept away.
Messmer argued that uniform regulation is the best way to weed out pretenders in the industry. "A lot of it is on-the-job type training," he said.
The National Park Service requires all its concessionaires, including outfitters and guides, to meet safety, health and liability insurance standards. But state agencies vary widely in their oversight of the industry.
In Arizona, the state Fish and Game Department exercises no regulatory oversight of excursions.
Pat Buccello, a National Park Service investigator at southern Utah's Zion National Park, emphasizes the need for hikers to be constantly aware of their surroundings — and willing to
question wren guides questionors Still, she questions the need for more extensive, formal controls on the outdoor industry.
"How do you write a regulation that can make sure someone has experience in hiking in a narrow canyon?" Buccello asks. "Then you'd have to have them predict the weather, too."
Antelope Canyon was within a widespread region under warning for extreme thunderstorms about two hours before the flood hit Tuesday. The wall of water was caused by a storm that dumped heavy rain 15 miles away on a plateau 2,000 feet higher than the canyon.
"If you look at nature there are probably 50 different elements of nature that one could study that could turn into a disaster," Aakhus said.
Internet credit report venture stumbles
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Consumer advocates were worried that selling credit reports on the Internet could allow the wrong people to get hold of confidential information. Less than 48 hours into Experian Inc.'s venture, a computer glitch seemed to confirm those fears.
A deluge of electronic orders early Friday caused some legitimately purchased reports to go to the wrong customers, forcing one of the world's largest information companies to close its Internet site.
The company quietly launched the site Wednesday night. There was no security breach, but news reports about the move prompted a sudden deluge of requests for reports early Friday, causing the
technical breakdown, said Martin Abrams, a vice president at the Orange, Calif. based company.
The site received 2,000 requests for reports between 8 p.m. Thursday and early Friday, Abrams said. Of those, 213 reports were transmitted electronically. The company didn't know how many of those were misdirected but planned to contact all the customers to find out.
The company will restore the site once the problems are resolved, he said.
Experian put up the site after receiving 15,000 consumer e-mail requests for Internet access to credit reports.
For a fee — $8 in most states — individuals can look at the reports, which include information about their loans, payment patterns, past addresses and other details, after providing a
Social Security number, a personal credit card number and other private information.
The data transmission is encrypted to prevent Internet eavesdroppers from intercepting it.
Defenders of the site said the records were widely available to employers, landlords and others. But some consumer advocates contend that Experian hasn't done enough to keep criminals out.
"It's too easy for a very determined stalker or anyone else who wants that information about you to ... retrieve those credit reports," said Beth Givens, director of the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, a nonprofit consumer group based in San Diego.
Experian was formed in 1996 through the merger of TRW Information Systems & Services, one of the largest U.S. credit information companies, and CCN Group, Europe's largest credit reference.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Loyal fan Pat Armstrong had little use for the hordes of reporters and Elvis Presley impersonators drawn to Graceland for Saturday's 20th anniversary of the death of the King of rock 'n' roll.
"The media pick out all these idiots," she said at Presley's grave. "They don't show the genuine Elvis fans. They pick them out because they've got those stupid jumpsuits and ridiculous hairdos."
Armstrong, 54, was among 950 fans that came to Memphis as members of the Elvis Presley Fan Club of Great Britain.
Through the day, a capacity crowd of 5,000 was expected to tour Graceland, Presley's home, while thousands more thronged the city and packed souvenir shops. Presley died at Graceland on Aug.16, 1977, at age 42, of heart disease made worse by prescription drug abuse.
From Friday night into early Saturday, 30,000 fans joined the annual candlelight vigil and procession past Presley's grave in a small garden on the Graceland property.
A 4-foot-high mound of roses and other flowers covered the
grave, along with teddy bears, small ceramic angels and other offerings. Dozens of other large flower arrangements surrounded the grave and the winding walkway leading to it.
Other commemorations took place as far away as Israel, where hundreds of fans gathered near Jerusalem for the unveiling of a 17-foot statue of Presley outside a restaurant. Some wore Elvis costumes.
"He was the greatest singer of the 20th century," said Yossi Rosen, who entertained the Israel crowd with some of Presley's hits.
Armstrong, Yorkshire, England, said she became an Elvis fan as a teen-ager when his records first started arriving in Europe.
"We didn't see the face for a long, long time," she said. "Then when you saw that gorgeous face, that was a bonus."
Another overseas Elvis devotee said he was tired of hearing about Presley's drug abuse.
"It's very wrong to say he was a druggie," said Derry Caughlan, 50, of Ireland. "He died early because of the pressures that were put on him and the unnatural life he was leading. He wasn't getting the proper food."

Cosmonauts fire back at Yeltsin, critics
Commander says station's problems are down to earth
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — The two cosmonauts newly returned from the Mir space station shot back at critics — including President Boris Yeltsin — who have blamed them for their mission's many problems.
In a remarkably candid evaluation of their troubled flight, Vasily Tsibliyev and Alexander Lazutkin laid the blame for Mir's many problems on earthbound sources —
chiefly, Russia's alling economy.
Tsibiiyev, the mission commander, was especially acerbic when asked about Yeltsin's comment that Mir's collision with a cargo ship in June was apparently the result of human error — presumably, Tsibiiyev's.
"It has been a longtime tradition here in Russia to look for scapegoats," T sibilvey said. "Of course, it is easier to put all the blame on the crew. But in this case, there was no concrete person to blame."
He also confirmed reports that the crew's voyage was rocky to the very end.
"Even during the landing, the soft-landing engines didn't work, and we hit the ground very hard," Tsilbiyev said.
their news conference at Mission Control by lashing out at news coverage of their flight, which focused heavily on its failures. Some Russian coverage was especially critical of Tsibiyev, blaming him for the collision with the cargo ship, the worst accident in Mir's history.
"It hurts to read an unobjective report and open lies about yourself," Tsbliyyev said. "Why should the media be lying? It has made our families and friends suffer."
He also said it was premature to write off the 11-year-old space station, while concealing its problems would not be easily solved.
"It would be wrong to say that the station is now dying." Tsibiyiev said. "But it's already old. It has been flying for a long time."
"This mission was a lucky one. We came back alive."
Vasily Tsibilyev Russian cosmonaut
As for the breakdowns, he said "The cause lies in the problems back on earth. It's connected with the economy, with the state of things in general. It's impossible to procure many things which are vital for the station, due to the fact
that they are either not manufactured any longer, short in supply, or overpriced."
Tisbiyev and Lazutkin dodged questions about who was to blame for the crash or other problems. They said a commission would determine who or what was to blame.
Lazutkin said little, but did praise the two U.S. astronauts aboard Mir during his astron and Tsibliyev's stay, Jerry Linenger and Michael Faole.
"They were nice guys. We were happy to get them on board," he said.
Tsibljev insisted that their mission should be remembered for its ultimate success, not its failures.
The measure means that religious
"This mission was a lucky one. We came back alive," he said.
Turkish schools to be less religious
Powerful military views schools as a threat
ANKARA, Turkey — Trying to curb the influence of Islam on Turkey's youth, Parliament last week approved a measure that curbs attendance in the country's religious schools.
The Associated Press
The new law, fiercely opposed by the pro-Islamic opposition, requires students to go to secular-oriented private and public schools for eight years instead of the current five.
high schools, which offer a six-year curriculum, will be limited to three years, making it less likely students will undergo their brand of religious training.
"This bill prevents people from
Turkey's powerful military views the so-called "imam and preacher" schools as breeding grounds for activists seeking to establish an Islamic regime in this predominantly Muslim but officially secular nation.
Former Islamic premier Necmettin Erbakan, who was forced to resign by the military in June because of his anti-secular moves, called the new law unconstitutional.
learning their religion, despite constitutional guarantees," Erbakan said. He vowed to challenge the law in Turkey's Constitutional Court.
Education Minister Hikmet Ulugbay defended the measure in a speech to Parliament, saying "Let's keep politics out of schools, army barracks and religion."
Under the new law, which passed by a vote of 277-242, children will receive Western-type education for eight years, starting at the age of seven. The law's proponents hope the length of this curriculum will firmly ground students in Turkey's secular traditions and inoculate them against the appeals of the religious schools.
WIESBADEN, Germany — Scores of brown-shirted neo-Nazis were arrested in Germany and scuffles broke out in neighboring Denmark on Saturday, the 10th anniversary of the death of Rudolf Hess.
The Associated Press
More than 170 arrests across Germany were related to the anniversary, authorities said. Danish police said about 50 people were arrested.
Authorities arrest more than 200 neo-Nazis on anniversary
Officials say Hess committed suicide in Berlin's Spandau prison, but his family claims he was murdered. Hess, who was arrested in Britain when he flew there on a secret mission in 1941, has become a cult figure among neo-Nazi youths in Europe and elsewhere.
Authorities in most of Germany's 16 states had banned gatherers marking the Aug. 17, 1987, death of Hess.
Aborigine's skull exhumed and returned to Australia
LIVERPOOL, England — Workers exhumed the head of an Aborigine warrior from a Liverpool graveyard, after Britain said it could be returned to Australia.
Aboriginal leaders have long pleaded for the return of the smoked head of Yagan, who was killed by a bounty hunter in 1833. They plan to ceremonially bury it in the Swan Valley, east of Perth, Australia, where the warrior was shot to death. The rest of his body is believed to have been buried there.
The Associated Press
The major obstacle to exhumation had been that the head was buried beneath 22 babies, who were stillborn or died shortly after birth in the 1960s.
Workers dug for several hours Thursday before finding the head, buried inside a box.
Yagan's head was presented to the Liverpool Royal Institution in 1834 and lent to the Liverpool museum in 1894, where it was exhibited until a curator became concerned by its deterioration 30 years ago.
The British government had rejected previous requests to return the head because it needed the approval of all the babies' next of kin before the grave could be disturbed.
Dr. Paul Turnbull, a historian at James Cook University in Townsville, Australia, said Yagan was killed by a British bounty hunter.
Turnbull said his research indicated that the remains of about 2,000 Aboriginal people were still in museums in Europe.

'Hawks ready for football
14
Kansas quarterback Zac Wegner is competing for the roe of starting quarterback. Wegner pulls back to throw the ball during practice on Friday at Memorial Stadium.
Many questions remain as team nears opener
By Kelly Cannon Kansan sportswriter
Alabama-Birmingham rolls into town on Aug. 28 to challenge Kansas, and for the next 11 days the Jayhawks will be focusing on the game
"We have an awful lot to do," head coach Terry Allen said. "I am anxious to get started."
"We don't return many starters," Allen said. "The offensive line is such a critical area. Football teams are made around the offensive line."
Junior offensive tackle Justin Glasgow is expected to be a strong leader on the depleted line. Other projected starters are senior Derrick Chandler, sophomore Chris Ennkeing and sophomore Dameon Hunt
Since the exit of former head coach Glen Mason for Minnesota and the beginning of the Terry Allen era, the state of Kansas football has raised several questions. A particular trouble spot for the team is the offensive line.
"We don't have a fifth starter." Allen said. "We'll only go as far as our offensive line takes us. We have some great young men."
The quarterback race, which has been running since the spring, has yet to be decided. The starter will be announced about a week before the UAB game. Senior Matt Johner, who started eight games last season, is in a ahead-to-head race with sophomore Jac Wegner and junior-college transfer Akilie Roberson. Once a starter is picked, that person will perform all year barring injury.
"This will not be a juggling quarterback situation," Allen said.
Johner spent much of the off season getting bigger.
"I did some off season lifting," he said. "My goal was to get strong. I'm going into it thinking that I'm going to be the guy. I'll do the best I can, and I'll do anything Coach Allen asks me."
Wegner also sees himself as a front runner.
SECTION B
"I think I fit in at the top," he said. "It's neck and neck right now. I hope we know. It would be better for the team."
The new leader of the offense seems to be senior Eric Vann. Vann has spent most of his career at Kansas in the shadow of the departed June Henley. This year, however, Vann is excited for his chance to play.
"I better enjoy this season and not take things for granted." Vann said.
Defensively, the Jayhawks return eight starters and their entire secondary.
Senior free safety Tony Blevins is happy with the new coaches.
"These coaches are more people and player coaches," Blevins said. "It doesn't seem like they're using you to keep their job."
Because this is a new season with a new coaching staff, many uncertainties linger.
"This will be a huge learning experience with everybody," Allen said. "We aren't rebuilding, we are in transition. We have a lot of learning that we are anxious to do."
Top wide receiver sidelined indefinitely
Gordon suffers from heart, sleep disorders
Tommy Gallagher
Associate Sports Editor
Kansas football coaches were disappointed Saturday afternoon after learning that wide receiver John Gordon suffers from cardiomyopathy and sleep apnea.
Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle that leads to the limitation of the heart's ability to pump blood. Sleep apnea is a condition in which narrowed air passageways cause sufferers to stop breathing for short periods while they sleep.
YOU ARE ONLY ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS IN TOROK.
John Gordon
Gordon has been held out of practice since Wednesday, when a precamp physical revealed a cardiovascular concern. Further testing was conducted at St. Luke's Hospital in Kansas City, Mo. Gordon, West Palm Beach, Fla., sophomore, cannot practice until he is cleared to play. He will be out indefinitely.
"I'm not sure if it was from blood pressure or from listening to the heart," Kansas coach Terry Allen said of discovering the disease. "I think there's potential for (Gordon's return) this year. But indefinite is indefinite. It could be two weeks, or it could be two years."
Two basketball players have died from cardiomyopathy since 1990 — Hank Gathers and Reggie Lewis.
Gathers played college basketball at Loyola Marymount. He collapsed and died during a game in 1990. Three years
Both players previously had collapsed before returning to the court.
later, Lewis, of the Boston Celtics, died while practicing with the team.
Gordon played in all 11 games last year for Kansas and started five. He finished last season with 16 receptions for 240 yards and two touchdowns, which is more than all the other current receivers' totals from last season combined.
Gordon and redshirt freshman Eric Patterson are listed as the Jayhawks' starting wide receivers. The top two reserves on the depth chart are freshmen — Termaine Fulton and Harrison Hill.
"Obviously, it's a concern — first and foremost for the young man's health." Allen said. "Football is secondary to that."
With Gordon out of the lineup, Kansas coaches said they hoped to get a closer look at the other receivers at the scrimmage Saturday morning. But when the defense smothered the offense during the 90-minute scrimmage, Allen had even more concerns about the offense.
"If we're trying to run, we're not even crawling yet," Allen said after the scrimmage. "We're not very good (offensively). And we're not going to become good overnight. We know what our deficiencies are on the football team, and we demonstrated them today."
Steve Puppe / KANSAN
"There were missed assignments and a lack of concentration," Johner said. "There were offenses penalties today and missed blocks. That goes along with a new offense, where people don't really know what's going on."
Senior quarterback Matt Johner, who's battling for the start quarterback spot, said he was disappointed with the offense's performance.
While the offense sputtered, one Jayhawk freshman excelled.
Freshman placekicker Joe Garcia was 3-for-3 on field goal attempts during the

scrimmage. He connected on field goals from 20, 43 and 45 yards.
Freshman linebacker Jay Ferguson suffered a stress fracture in his foot last week and had surgery Friday to treat the injury.
A screw was inserted in his foot during the surgery to treat the injury. Ferguson was not expected to play a major role on the team this season.
He is the most recent Kansas linebacker to be hampered by an injury.
Sophomore Tyrus Fontenot, who was competing for a backup spot at middle linebacker, will miss two to three weeks after suffering a broken bone in his right thumb last week.
Allen said Fontenton probably would miss the Jayhawks' season opener Aug. 28 against Alabama-Birmingham.

Teams to sport new look and better attitude
The football, volleyball, soccer, cross country and swimming teams will begin competition this month. These teams, like all Kansas teams this year, will battle opponents while wearing exclusively Nike apparel.
This fall sports season signals the arrival of several facts of life that will define a new attitude on the Kansas campus.
Allen brings different spirit to football team
And spectators in Memorial Stadium, Allen Field House and Super Target Field will sip only Coke and its products.

not changed to the Nikehawks, and it is hoped that Coke will not appear on University diplomas.

But the logo on jerseys and the brand of soda in spectators' cups will not affect fans as much as the attitude on the playing
Just the fact that former coach Glen Mason accepted employment elsewhere could encourage Jayhawk fans to care about football for more than the two Saturdays each fall when Missouri and Kansas State are the opponents.
The attitude on campus last fall was the worst in my three-year stint as a Jayhawk fan. And more than the student body is to blame.
fields. And this fact will have a great impact. Terry Allen is the new football coach.
True story: While walking on campus last fall the week after Nebraska dropped Kansas' record to 3-4, I overheard a football player say to his teammate: "There's a very good probability that we will be 3-8 this season."
Before Allen arrived, the term "player coach" was not spoken on campus during the fall until "Late Night with Roy Williams" came around.
and Notre Dame loomed on the schedule. Kansas proved the prophet wrong by defeating Iowa State, finishing with a 4-7 record, but that statement tells more about last year's football team than its record.
As a faithful football fan, I was appalled to hear a Division I athlete predict defeat for the rest of a season. And it's not like Florida
If the attitude on the football field proves as good as reported, the attitude in the stands will be as positive. Especially if football players don't criticize their team or Kansas fans while talking to the media. It is hoped that the latter trend left campus with fan critic and offensive tackle Scott Whitaker.
It's a fact that people were not excited by Jayhawk football last year. But with the change in attitude — apparent from the head coach and the players — the facts of this fall season will be more pleasant.

University athletics signs $3.5 million Nike contract
Swoosh will appear on all Jayhawk sports uniforms
1
Tommy Gallagher Associate sports editor
The Nike swoosh, which cannot be more than 2 1/4 inches square, now will be on all Jayhawk uniforms.
The University of Kansas athletic department and Nike agreed last week to a four-year contract worth about $3.5 million, making Nike the exclusive supplier of athletic footwear, apparel and accessories for all 20 Jayhawk teams.
While there was some speculation that Nike would have signs and promotions at sports venues, Bob Frederick, Kansas athletic director, said Nike was pleased to have the swoosh on athletic apparel.
"Their primary concern is that the logo be on the uniforms," Frederick said. "Some corporate sponsors are interested in signage. They are not. What means the most to them is having athletes in competition with logos on the jerseys and pants."
Nike will provide Kansas' athletic department with $105,000 in cash and about $750,000 in products, apparel and merchandise for the teams each year.
Kansas receives a 7.5 percent royalty on all licensed Jayhawk apparel, which accounted for about $400,000 for the athletic department last year, Frederick said. The athletic department receives 55 percent of the royalty. The Kansas Endowment Association and the Kansas Bookstore receive the remaining 45 percent.
Jayhawk athletic apparel now will be sold in 5,200 retail outlets nationwide as part of the deal. With the increased outlets, the University could reap record profits from its licensed merchandise during the upcoming years.
Frederick estimated the deal could double or even quadruple the athletic department's take from last year during the next several years.
Nike also will donate $20,000 to community service each year and provide a paid summer internship for an undergraduate student-athlete at the Nike headquarters in Beaverton, Ore.
The Kansas football and baseball teams started sporting the Nike swoosh last season, while Kansas men's basketball coach Roy Williams and Kansas women's basketball coach Marian Washington have had independent shoe contracts with Nike.
But not everyone has used Nike as a supplier before. Last year the volleyball team wore Mizuno, the tennis teams wore Reebok, the soccer team wore adidas and the women's golf team wore Footjoy shoes.
Response from Kansas coaches about the Nikde deal has been positive.
"With the current budgeting, I'm very careful with what I spend," Jerry Waugh, Kansas women's golf coach, said. "Nike gives me a little more room. Generally you have a few extras on your team who get the short end of the stick. This allows us to take care of everyone."
Kansas men's tennis coach Mark Riley said the deal could help Jayhawk coaches in recruiting top athletes and building better programs.
"Nike makes a big difference in recruiting," Riley said. "Both Michigan and Penn State use Nike on the field and as a plus in recruiting. Kids love to have quality equipment, and having a good amount of it is always a plus."
Kansas is the third member of the Big 12 Conference to sign a multi-million dollar deal with a major shoe company during the last three years.
Colorado has a six-year deal worth $6 million with Nike, while Texas currently is renegotiating its six-year, $3.6 million deal with Reebok that began in 1994.
"When we signed this deal three years ago, we weren't in the Big 12 and we didn't have three women's sports teams that we now have," Chris Plonsky, Texas assistant athletic director, said. "I think the renegotiation of our deal will be done within the next two months. This will help our program address changes that have happened to Texas sports during the past three years."

Big 12 Conference football roundup
By Kelly Cannon Kansan sportswriter
IRVING, Texas — The 1997 football season hasn't officially started, but the preseason speculations are pouring in. A poll in *The Sporting News* has Colorado and Texas finishing first in their respective divisions. Kansas is projected to finish fourth in the Northern division of the Big 12 behind Colorado, Nebraska and Kansas State. But as with every year, polls vary. Here is how each team is shaping up.
NORTHERN DIVISION
Colorado
Colorado head coach Rick Neuheisel was extremely confident about his team last year, and he let everyone know.
"I have learned not to go public with expectations," Neuheisel said. "That created an expectation that we were a national championship team well before we could win it. You can't win until January, so to talk about it in August is a mistake."
The confidence is apparent this year also, but he said that he was going to be more subdued.
CU
Neuheisel said that he and his team were anticipating a good season and a run at the Big 12 title.
"Hope springs eternal," he said. "I am anxious to get going. We feel like we have a good team. We feel like we have a good blend of experienced players and some young up-and-comers."
Colorado has a particularly difficult non- conference schedule that includes Colorado State, Wyoming and Michigan, Neuheisel said.
Colorado opens the season Sept. 6 at home against Colorado State.
Iowa State
Troy Davis, the 1996 Heisman Trophy runner-up, will be wearing a New Orleans Saints uniform instead of Iowa State's this
season, and the team is looking for ways to compensate.
Iowa State had a 2-9 season and finished 1-7 in the Big 12 last season. Only Missouri and Northb-
IOWA STATE
CYCLONES
ern Iowa, coached then by new Kansas coach Terry Allen, were defeated by the Cyclones.
"We weren't pleased with the overall record," head coach Dan McCarney said. "It was gut-wrenching. We had two losses to Wyoming in two years. But we have made a lot of progress, and we're starting to look like a Division-1 team."
The Cyclones have made many offensive changes in the off season, McCarny said. Because Davis made himself eligible a year early for the NFL draft, the offense will have to be much more diversified. Junior Todd Bandhauer, who came in as a midseason replacement last year, will be the starting
quarterback.
"We're going to be pretty darn competitive," Bandhauer said. "We are ready to charge ahead. I have concentrated on what the quarterback coach said: 'Each play stands alone.' There are 80-plus plays in a game, and you can't dwell on each one."
Iowa State's first game is Aug. 30 at home against Oklahoma State.
Kansas
Gone is Glen Mason. In is Terry Allen.
Gone are June Henley and Isaac Byrd, the Jayhawks' top rusher and receiver. Some
may say Kansas is rebuilding. Allen says it is just in transition.
The strength of the 1997 Jayhawks will be their defense - eight starters are returning. Leading the way on offense will be senior running back Eric Vann, who has spent most of his career in Henley's shadow.
KU
"I learned a lot from June," Vann said. "But this was always my goal. This is where I want to be. I better enjoy this season and not take things for granted. This has been a long time coming."
Offensively, Kansas has a lot of questions.
"We return five starters, but worse, we only return 10 lettermen," Allen said. "We have big questions at quarterback. Matt Johner came out of spring football in a head-to-head race with Zac Wegner. But this is not going to be a juggling quarterback situation."
Kansas opens Aug. 28 against Alabamabirmingham at Memorial Stadium.
Kansas State
K-State took a chance on some players this year, and it shows in their recruiting class. Twelve of the new Wildcats are
junior-college transfers. Head coach Bill Snyder has found himself having to justify that large number.
C
"We had four on campus for
spring ball," Snyder said. "They pass through the program much more quickly, but they are a bonus for us in terms of numbers. As always, it is how quickly they can adapt, but I appreciate this group. They have an understanding of football."
Excitement at K-State is nothing new. The program has had four straight bowl appearances and four consecutive seasons with at least nine wins.
Key positions offensively for the Wildcats will be wide receiver, quarterback and the interior offensive line. Defensively, the key position will be linebacker. The rushing game has become a focus.
"We were last in the Big 12 in rushing." junior guard Jeremy Martin said. "We are not going to let that happen again. In order to be successful, we need to run the ball."
K-State's first game is Sept. 6 at Northern Illinois.

Missouri
The Tigers are full of confidence this season, much of that stemming from the way they finished the '96 campaign. Missouri
won three of its last five games and finished the season 5-6 - its first five-win season since 1987.

"I look at this as a veteran football team," head coach Larry Smith said.
souri offense is junior quarterback Corby Jones. Jones rushed for 742 yards and scored nine touchdowns last season but has focused on his passing game during the off season.
Leading the Mistakes tremen- dously seriously his football and his academics. We have never had a problem dealing with Grant."
Jones said he understands his responsibility to the team.
"Keeping Corby Jones healthy is paramount," Smith said.
"As a player, I owe it to (senior tailback) Brock (Olivio)," Jones said. "We owe it as a team to the seniors. We have the best recruiting class."
Usually an end-of-the-season game, the matchup with Kansas has been moved up to Sept. 13.
Missouri's first game is Sept. 6 at home against Eastern Michigan.
Nebraska
Nebraska fans were cheering last year when All-American defensive back Grant Winstrom decided to return for his senior season.
"No one gives more effort," assistant head coach Frank Solich said of Winston. "He is
In addition to being an All-American in football, Winstrom also is an academic All-American in pharmacy.

"I think any successful person in life, their biggest attribute is time control, and that's the hardest part about being a student-athlete," Winstrom said. "It puts a lot of pressure on a person, but it pays off for you. I know that my parents and I are more proud of the academic All-America, because overall that means that I'm pretty successful at both."
The Huskers have been criticized about the lack of high quality nonconference teams they will face this year. They are scheduled to play Akron (Ohio), Central Florida and Washington.
"We would like to play top competition the first three games," Solich said. "We'd like to have a decent nonleague schedule. We had other teams scheduled, but they didn't work out, and we had to replace."
Nebraska's quarterback Scott Frost, who was named the Big 12 offensive player of the year after transferring from Stanford, is back for his senior season. After one season as starter, Frost ranks 16th at Nebraska in career passing vards.
Nebraska will open its season Aug. 30 at
some against Akron.
SOUTHERN DIVISION
Baylor finished last season with a not-so-impressive record of 4-7 (1-7 in the Big 12). Head coach Dave Roberts was cautiously optimistic but said there were key problem areas, particularly the defensive line.
Baylor
"We're very undersized, so we're really going to have to compensate," Roberts said.
Angie Kuhn/KANSAN

Roberts still was focused on improving the team.
"What I'm most interested in right now is getting them to play hard and to cut down on missed assignments," he said. "I think we made progress. They're beginning to play harder. We need to be a tougher team, a more physical team. Are we there yet? No, no, not at all. We're not close. We have far too many turnovers. We have to get stronger. We have a lot of areas we need to work on."
Baylor plays Miami on Aug. 30 at home.
Oklahoma
Oklahoma's head coach John Blake said he was looking forward to this season and said his team had increased confidence.
"I think the experience of our system is a strength," Blake said. "Our offense is more intact. We have a lot of players back on our offense, and key players are back. The secondary will be one of the keys to our defense. I think the most important strength of our football team is those guys have gone through some tough times and experiences. This system is

probably the best strength we have on this football team right now."

Blake said he also felt better having a year under his belt.
"It's much more of a comfortable year for me," Blake said. "It's always easier to have experience of one year. It's really been a more comfortable situation for our players having the same coach for two years."
Oklahoma finished 3-8 last season but is looking to improve under Hake's leadership.
"He's bringing in good talent," senior defensive lineman Martin Chase said. "The last coaches brought in a lot of talent, as well. He's bringing the right attitude to the University of Oklahoma, and I think in time he's going to take it to another level. He's going to make things better."
Oklahoma begins play Aug. 23 at Northwestern.
Oklahoma State
Oklahoma State is starting the 1997 season with only four seniors on the team after finishing 5-6 last season. Head coach Bob Simmons said he saw good things from his team at the end of the 1996 campaign.
"The team improved at the end of last year," Simmons said. "Three years ago they
(the seniors)
were freshmen.
We're still young
and still building."
oSu
The defensive line has made great strides
since last year. Six players return, with Alton Weaver the only newcomer. The Cowboys allowed 225 yards a game on the ground last season but are expecting that number to improve this year.
Oklahoma State's starting quarterback has not yet been determined. Three players are in the hunt for the position: Chris Chaloupka, Joe Phears and Tony Lindsay. Chaloupka has the most experience of the three.
Oklahoma State plays Aug. 30 at Iowa State.
After defeating Nebraska in the first-ever Big 12 title game, Texas has its sights set on a second title.
Texas
"The game, for us at Texas, gave us a great opportunity to showcase our team," head coach John Mackovic said. "We played some good teams last year and just came up
of the way our team got ready and prepared because they did not go into that game with any doubt whether we could come through and perform."
Texas is returning quarterback James Brown, who was reported to have said prior to the championship game that Texas would beat Nebraska by 21 points.
"You have to watch how you talk to the media," Brown said. "I didn't even make that comment. We were talking about other stuff and how it felt being a 21-point underdog, and I said, 'We might beat them by 21.' That was all I needed to say. I'm glad I did it. That's what I was thinking, really."
Despite lofty goals, there still are some uncertainties.
"We have some question marks," Mackovic said. "All four of our starting secondary are gone. Our entire starting unit of the receiving core is gone. Our two top tailbacks are gone, so we have to replace them. Our All-America guard is gone, so we have to replace him. We have some key holes to fill."
Texas opens play Sept. 6 at home against Rutgers.
Texas A&M
Texas A&M would like to improve on its 6-6 season this year.
"We did not have the kind of season we'd like to have had last year, and I would attribute a whole lot of that to the way we played, our lack of capabilities in some areas, our lack of experience in some areas," head

"Two years ago ago, we beat Michigan in a bowl game, so it's not like we've just disappeared off the map and can't play any more," Slouc said. "In my mind, we haven't gone far.

"We're in the process right now of looking for a running back," head coach Spike Dykes said. "A year ago, we had great backs at Texas Tech. We thought that the
ATM
was going to be the heir apparent to Byron Hanspard. Unfortunately in the last stencilimage of the spring, he tore his knee up and had reconstructive knee surgery and will not play this season. It will be interesting to see how that position unravels. It's definitely a concern."
Hanspard, the Raiders' leading rusher last season, did not take any of his final examinations and earned a 0.0 GPA. He consequently declared himself eligible for the NFL draft.
"It was poor judgment on his part," Dykes said.

Three P's will lead college football: Peyton, Powlus and Paterno
Memorial Stadium gets permanent night lights
Tommy Gallagher Associate sports editor
THE STADIUM
Kansas has played six home games under the lights and has a 3-3 record in those games.
With the installation of four 150-foot poles almost two weeks ago, Memorial Stadium now has permanent lights for the first time in 76 years.
Despite the recent installation, Kansas will play just one home game under the lights this season. The Jayhawks will play host to Alabama-Birmingham at 7 p.m. Aug. 28 in its season opener.
Kansas has won two consecutive night home games, including a 35-13 victory against Ball State one year ago in a Thursday night season opener. The Jayhawks defeated Texas Christian in 1995 on a Thursday night primetime national broadcast on ESPN.
"I guess everybody expected me to leave," said Manning, eighth in the 1996 Heisman balloting and the only Top 10 finisher returning. "I really love college football, and it has a lot to do with how positive my experience has been here — guys on the team, coaches, the friends I'm making."
"I haven't been this excited since my freshman year," said Powlus, the Irish quarterback who returns to play for new coach Bob Davie after four mostly sour seasons under Lou Holtz.
Peyton Manning chose to stay around, too, saying NFL millions can wait because he's having so much fun at Tennessee. Chances are, the Heisman Trophy front-runner also wants another shot at Florida, the defending national champion who has beaten the Vols the past four years. He gets the chance Sept. 20 at Gainesville.
Peyton's in place at Tennessee, Penn State is atop the preseason poll and Ron Powhus is back for one last fling at remodeled Notre Dame.
If you know your three P's this season, College Football 128 should be a snip.
By Richard Rosenblatt The Associated Press
The poles will hold 248 light fixtures, each 22 inches in diameter with 1,650 watts in capacity. The poles are placed for two levels of stadium lighting and were bought from Universal Sports Lighting of Atlanta. Ill.
Eric B. Howell / KANSAN
Penn State coach Joe Paterno has other concerns — his Nittany Lions are Lon 1. In The Associated Press preseason Top 25 for the first time in school history.
"It's nice to be recognized, but it sets you up like a sitting duck," said Paterno, who enters his 32nd season only 11 wins shy of victory No. 300. "I hope we are prepared to handle it."
The Bowl Alliance enters its final year under the current format, with the PAC-10 and Big 10 conferences and Rose Bowl joining next season. The change will make it easier for the alliance to match the top two teams for a true national title game.
This season, the Orange Bowl on Jan. 2 will serve as the top alliance game, with the PAC-10 and Big 10 champs headed to Pasadena for the Rose Bowl. The Sugar and Fiesta bowls are the other alliance games.
Two new bowls — the Motor City Bowl and Sports Humanitarian Bowl — have been added to the postseason.
But it's the players who make the season. And even though 44 underclassmen choose the NFL — Orlando Pace, Darnell Autry, Troy Davis and Byron Hansspard among them — there are plenty of stars for '97.
Start with Manning, who threw for 3,287 yards and 20 touchdowns in leading the Vols to a 10-2 record, including a 38-28 win against Northwestern in the Citrus Bowl.
Powlus, a passer held in check by Holtz's ball-control offense, still enters the season with more touchdown passes (43) than any other Notre Dame quarterback.
In addition to running back Curtis Ennis, 11 starters return, including wide receivers Joe Jurevic and Joe Nastasi, and linebackers Aaron Collins, Jim Nelson and Brandon Short.
If the Huskies and Nittany Lions finish ranked I, 1 and 2 and play in the Rose Bowl for the national title, add a fourth P to the season—for Passada.

Pollard, Vaughn in NBA; Haase headed to European team
Kansan staff report
Three former Kansas men's basketball players entered the
basketball players entered the professional basketball scene this summer.
Scot Pollard was drafted 19th by the Detroit Pistons during the first round of the June 8 NBA draft.
Pistons' director of media relations Bill Wickett said Pollard had not signed a contract yet. First-year players are offered three-year contracts. The value of the contract depends on the player's place in the draft.
Wickett said Pollard practiced with the rookies and free agents for three days in July before competing in a California summer league. The Piston's entry had a 3-3 record during the camp. Pollard played in five of the games and averaged 20.2 minutes, 8.4 points and 5.2 rebounds.
Pistons rookies are asked to report to training camp in September. The first mandatory day
of camp is Oct. 2.
Jacque Vaughn was drafted 27th in the first round of the draft by the Utah Jazz. The Jazz announced July 21 that Vaughn had signed a guarantee, three-year contract for an undisclosed amount.
The guaranteed part of the contract ensures payment to the player even if the team cuts the player.
Mark Kelly, Jazz media relations manager, said Vaughn played with Jazz rookies and free agents in the Rocky Mountain Review, a 12-team summer league in July and early August.
Vaughn started all five games and averaged 11 points and 4.6 assists a game. The Jazz begin training camp Oct. 3 in Boise, Idaho.
Kelly said Vaughn is one of three point guards on the Jazz roster. The others are all-star John Stockton and free agent Howard Eisley.
Jerod Haase has signed a one-year contract with Zito Bardar, a professional team based in Veles, Macedonia. Macedonia is on the Balkan Peninsula in Europe.
The European season begins play Sept. 1.

Former Kansas women's basketball player Tamecka Dixon was the WNBA Player of the Week for games played from Aug. 4 to 10.
The Los Angeles Sparks guard averaged 20 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 steals a game during the week.
She shot 51.2 percent from the field and 80 percent from the free-throw line during the
award-winning week.
"Tamecka has arrived in the WNBA zone," Sparks assistant coach W a n d a Sz er e m eta said. "She is playing with a

lot of confidence and making big plays when big plays are
needed."
For the season, Dixon is averaging 11.1 points, 2 assists and 1.91 steals a game. Her 46.2 field goal percentage is ninth highest in the league and her 46.2 three-point field goal percentage ranks first.
The Sparks drafted Dixon 13th in the May WNBA draft. The team is in second place in the Western Conference behind Phoenix.

Allen wants to create new football tradition
23
Coach traveled to build support
New Kansas head football coach Terry Allen watches practice at Memorial Stadium.
By Kelly Cannon
Kansan sportswriter
IRVING, TEXAS — Kansas head coach Terry Allen is excited to be in Lawrence coaching the Jayhawks. That is true by chance.
That much is obvious.
"I am extremely excited to take over the University of Kansas football program," he said. "This is a fantastic league that has great players and coaches."
Allen also said he understood the impact head basketball coach Roy Williams has had on Lawrence.
"There is great history and tradition in that basketball program," Allen said. "Roy Williams is a great community person, a great wherewithal in Kansas, Lawrence and the nation because of his personality. When you see somebody like that, you want to migrate to them, learn about him, his success and carry that forth in your program."
The big question is: Can he produce a winning team and a longstanding tradition?
Allen came to Kansas from the University of Northern Iowa where he was head coach of the Division I-AA football program.
For years Kansas has been known as a basketball school. Allen said he was aware of that, but he also said he wanted Kansas to be a football school. Allen spent much of the spring traveling around the state building support for his program.
program. They know how to have success and how to support a program."
Allen has not voiced many expectations for the upcoming season, but he was frank about how he sees the program.
"We're on the edge of things," he said. "Two years ago we were in the top 10. We've been through some up and down times, and our goal is to make it more consistent. It's been there, and the road back should be a lot shorter drive. This is not a pipe dream."
identified the main difference between I-A and I-AA.
Vann is healthy, ready to run
Ironically, Allen was a finalist for the head coaching position at the University of Minnesota, where former Kansas head coach Glen Mason accepted a position.

"Numbers," Allen said. "There are more players in 1-A programs. It's all numbers."

IRVING, TEXAS — After injuring his back during spring scrimmages, senior running back Eric Vann is healthy and ready to go.
"My back feels good," Vann said. "I was in a lot of pain in the spring."
Now that his back is better, Vann will be the starting running back for the Jayhawks. Before this year, the running back position belonged to June Henley.
Vann had a stress fracture in his spine and spent many hours in rehabilitation.
"I learned a lot from June," Varn said. "It was a goal — where I want to be."
Vann said he enjoyed the changes the new coach has brought.
Unmarried since 1993
Most people don't like change — they think it is bad," he said. "But I was not surprised coach Mason left because of the year before. I enjoy the change now. It was good for the whole program."
Vann tried to gain weight in the off-season.

"Size doesn't matter." Vann said. "I weighed around 200 pounds. I was trying to gain weight, but this is where I am comfortable."
Coach Terry Allen has been known to have a pass-oriented offense, but Vann said running backs will be important.
"Running backs will still get the opportunity to run the ball," Vann said. "You have to run the ball effectively to be successful in the Big 12. The running backs are still key to the offense."
Allen said he realized the importance of Vann. "He is critical to the success of our program." Allen said.
Eric Vann takes a break during Friday's practice at Memorial Stadium. Vann is expected to pick up where June Henley left off.
*LAURENCE TURNER JEANETT*
"He's been in the shadow of June Henley for a number of years. He brings some qualities we really like, style-wise, offensively to our running backs."

Tryouts for the 1997-98 Kansas baseball team will begin with a meeting at 4 p.m. Aug. 25 at Hoglund-Maupin Stadium, located south of Allen Field House.
Information about trouts will be available at the meeting. Each participant will be required to complete applications. A copy of players' personal health insurance information is also required.
The Jayhawks begin a five-week practice season on Sept. 8. The practice season will include intersquad scrimmages.
The competitive season for Kansas baseball is in the spring. Next year, Kansas will begin its second season of Big 1.2 Conference play.
Mullen takes promotions job
The Kansas department of athletics announced that Rick Mullen has been named director of promotions.
Mullen said that the department promotes KU athletics and works to boost attendance for all 20 university sports.
"A lot of events are free to students," Mullen said. "We try to make them aware of these and get them there."
He replaces Lynne Mixon, who resigned to enter private business. Mullen had been assistant director of promotions for a year.
"It's a good step for me and something I have wanted," he said. "I'm glad it can be here at Kansas."
Mullen coordinated promotions for all non-revenue sports and worked with corporate sponsorships of non-revenue sports last year at the University. He also developed promotional programs for football.
Mullen worked for two years as a promotions assistant in the marketing and promotions office at the University of California, his alma mater, before coming to the University. He worked with volleyball, women's basketball, football and men's basketball. Mullen was a member of the California golf team for four years as an undergraduate. He graduated in 1995.

College football season: usual suspects on top
Fall has arrived once again, and, as usual,
multitudes of questions fill our minds.
By Scott Corcoran
Kansan columnist
Will we enjoy our classes? Will our teachers speak English? Do we have a chance of scoring a date with a Crimson Girl or a basketball
player? What will the 1997 college football season be like? I don't
OPINION
I am the upcoming football season.
My top five:
know most of you personally, so I can't answer the first three questions, but I can give some insight into the upcoming football season.
1. Tennessee: The Volunteers return seven starters on both sides of the ball. The most important of these is quarterback Peyton Manning, who chose to return to college for his senior season. If Tennessee can survive early consecutive road games at UCLA and Florida and a later date at Alabama, look for the Orange Bowl to be packed with Tennessee orange on Jan. 2.
2. Colorado: Colorado looks to be primed to remove the Big Red cloud that has hovered over the state since 1992 — the Buffaloes last defeated Nebraska in 1991. John Hessler will fill the shoes left by Koy Detmer as he did in 1995, when Detmar was injured. The defense loses Steve Rosga and Matt Russell but returns seven other starters. Facing Nebraska in Boulder could help the Buffs reach the Big 12 title game.
3. Florida State: What would a top five be without Florida State? The Seminoles have been ranked in the top five of every final AP poll since 1987. Despite losing defensive ends Peter Boulware and Reinard Wilson, the defense should be tough with the return of linebacker Sam Cowart, back from a knee injury suffered in the 1996 Orange Bowl. Trips to Florida, North Carolina and Virginia will make it difficult for the 'Noles to finish the regular season undefeated again.
4. Penn State: Coming off an 11-2 record and a Fiesta Bowl victory, the Nittany Lions have roses in their eyes as they hope to bring the first national title to the Big 10 since 1968. Tailback Curtis Ennis is a Heisman candidate and should power a potent running game. The schedule makers were smiling on Penn State because the Nittany Lion's two toughest games — Ohio State and Michigan — will be played in
Ohio State and Michigan - will be played in Happy Valley, Pa.
5. LSU: The Tigers are this season's version of the 1995 Northwestern and the 1996 Arizona State teams. Kevin Faulk is perhaps the nation's best running back and leads an
offense that returns eight starters. The defense also returns eight and is ready to step up the pressure. If LSU manages to beat Florida on Oct. 11, look for them in the SEC championship game.
108. Duke: A 1-10 season will be an improvement.
Bottom five:
109. New Mexico State: The Aggies look to better last season's mark of 1-10.
110. Texas-El Paso: UTEP could once again go winless in WAC play.
111. Boise State: Adjustment to I-A isn't getting any easier.
112. Northern Illinois: Any surprise that this team is on K-State's schedule?
1. Stanford: The Cardinal won the last five games last year, including the Sun Bowl.
2. Colorado State: The Rams return 17 starters and will be back in a bowl after a one-year hiatus.
3. Texas A&M: The Aggies will improve last year's 6-6 record.
4. Michigan State: Look for MSU to crack into the top three in the Big 10.
5. Georgia: The Bulldogs will win more than ix for the first time since 1992.
2. Ohio State: Only eight starters return from last year's Rose Bowl champions.
1. Texas: The 'Horns lose too much to repeat as Big 12 champs.
las. year's most bowl champions.
Nebraska: Scott Frost will once again dis-
4. Northwestern: The 'Cats can't sneak up on any teams this year.
5. Clemson: This team lost to Missouri last rear. How good can it be?
1. Notre Dame will be on national television.
2. Keith Jackson will say "Whoa Nellie."
4. Most people at Kansas will be glad when Minnesota has a losing record.
5. Ron Dayne, a 5-foot-10, 261-pound Wisconsin tailback, will run over at least five defenders a game en route to a 1,500-yard season.
6. Texas will not win the Big 12 South.
7. Oklahoma will win more that three games.
8. I will root for Oldahoma to win less than three games.
9. Nebraska will sell out every home game.
10. Kansas will beat Missouri.
I know this column won't answer all of the questions racing through your mind as school is about to begin, but it should shed some light onto the upcoming season. So sit back, relax, watch a lot of football and have a great semester.

Positions not guaranteed for experienced players
The 1997 Kansas volleyball team has two things it lacked last season: seniors and depth at every position.
Kansas volleyball set for new season
By Kristie Blasi
Sports editor
The four seniors on the roster are Stephanie Blackwell, Kendra Kahler, Maggie Mohrfeld and Tiffany Sennett. The depth at every position is due in part to the returning starters.
But fourth-year coach Karen Schonewise said that the incumbent players were not guaranteed their positions for this season.
"There are a lot of people pushing for positions," Schonewise said. "A lot of players came to practice in great shape."
The team began to practice twice a day Aug. 8. Morning and afternoon sessions since then have accounted for six hours a day of volleyball drills.
"We've been able to start team drills a lot faster because of our experience," she said. "The skill level at this stage of the season is
The Jayhawks get a break from practice for their first competition Aug. 29 and 30 for the Nevada-Reno Tournament in Reno, Nev. A tournament at Northwestern and then two tournaments in Allen Field House complete the non-conference schedule.
"We've gotten a nice break with the weather for practices," Schonewise said. Morning practices have been at the air-conditioned East Lawrence Recreation Center.
Kansas begins its second season of Big 12 Conference volleyball competition Sept. 26 against Nebraska, which finished the season ranked third and reached the Final Four in the NCAA7 Tournament.
Schonewise said the Big 12 inaugural season had helped the team prepare for this season.
The temperatures in early August have been a lot lower than normal, saving players and coaches from unbearable conditions in the Robinson gymnasium, which is not air conditioned.

Women's soccer coach aims for team unity
Magner to work on building group trust, meshing athletic skills
By Harley V. Ratliff Kansan sportswriter
Last spring, Kansas women's soccer appeared to be a program in disarray.
With the departure of head coach Lori Walker to Ohio State, talk of player transfers and a tournament in Maryland against some of the best competition in the nation, Jayhawk soccer seemed to be a sinking ship.
Enter Dan Magne
And just at the right time.
Magner, former head coach at Wake Forest, didn't work any miracles, but he may have saved this season.
While the Jayhawks didn't win a game in the tournament, it was Magner's presence and attitude that helped persuade several players to stick around.
transferring — and I was one of them," said sophomore Lindsey Loeffler. "I thought about it a lot, but once we got our new coach and we went to Maryland, I decided to stay."
Loeffier said Magner's laid back approach and his good rapport with the players won her and others over.
"Coach showed exactly how he was going to be at practices, games and tournaments," Loeffler said. "He has a very relaxed personality. He gets respect from people rather than demanding respect.
Sophomore Jackie Horton said that Magner had earned the admiration of his players.
"He's trying out new things and he's experimenting with the team," Horton said. "Practice is more relaxed, but we work just as hard for Coach. He has the whole team's respect."
While most of the team decided to remain at Kansas, the Jayhawks couldn't keep everyone.
One of Magner's top priorities will be finding replacement for midfield transfers Kendyl Mich-
ner, Shayna Teutsch and Denise Cooke.
Michner and Teutsch took their skills to Tennessee, while Cooke returned to her home state of Washington. Combined, the three players put in more than 4,000 minutes and each played significant roles.
"I anticipate that three or four freshmen could see significant playing time," Magner said. "We have several freshmen who are really attacking-minded. They enjoy going forward and getting to the goal."
"We really need to come together as a unit," Magner said. "It appeared as though maybe it wasn't a real team in that everyone was on the same page working together. We're still building trust in each other."
Helping to ease the burden of the player defections will be nine true freshman and redshirt freshman Christy Clark. It will be their job to help plug the holes on offense and defense.
Magner said that his team's success would depend on his ability to mesh the new talent with the old.

NCAA delays on athletes' jobs
The Associated Press
OVERLAND PARK — If the NCAA trusted its schools, coaches and fans, college athletes could be working this fall and making a few extra bucks.
But fearful of administrative costs and the possibility of widespread cheating, the NCAA has postponed for one year a plan to let athletes hold part-time jobs.
The decision by the 15-member board of directors, in its first major action, was not unexpected. Coaches and college presidents had been urging at least a one-year moratorium since the rule, known as Proposition 62, was narrowly adopted at the last full NCAA convention in January and was set to take affect this month.
"We want to make it happen and we want it done right. Hence, the reason for the delay," Syracuse president Kenneth Shaw said in a teleconference.
However, the head of the NCAA's
student-athlete advisory committee was sketical.
"How confident can we be?" said former distance runner Bridget Niland. "If they're committed, OK, let's see some action."
With Niland and other athletes arguing passionately on the convention floor, passage of Proposition 62 was hailed as a sign that athletes finally had gained a voice in NCAA policymaking.
But Shaw said the new board of directors decided more study was needed on the complexities of the issue.
"We fully expect to have a program in the fall of 1998 that allows athletes to work," Shaw said.
Niland said athletes were disappointed on several levels.
"We never wanted athletic departments to have to become job-placement counselors for us. This was just to give us an opportunity to find a job if we could," she said. "But what happened is that old fear of abuse. That's the reason for this delay."
NCAA
But Shaw said important issues had not been addressed.
"We found widespread support for delaying for one year ... to give us time to evaluate and develop guidelines and procedures to monitor student employment programs," he said.
Niland said the athletes' committee even suggested that athletes be held solely accountable for any abuse of the rule, which would not have let anyone earn more than about $1,500-$3,000 per year.
"We asked for permission to speak to the board for just 15 minutes about some alternative ideas the student athletes had, and we were denied permission," Niland said.
"And what about student athletes who decided not to work this summer, thinking they could make up the difference with their part-time jobs this fall? A lot of student athletes might now be caught in a cash crisis because they fully expected to be able to hold jobs, jobs they might already have arranged."
Opponents warned in January that however noble the purpose of Proposition 62 might be, it was ripe for misuse.
Athletes could get paid for make-believe jobs or collect more money than allowed. There also was worry that schools in small towns and rural areas would be at a recruiting disadvantage. There are more jobs in California, for example, than in Nebraska.
In other action, the board of directors decided to let high schools begin verifying core courses as required for freshman eligibility standards. That now is overseen by the NCAA.
LaFrentz, Pierce named John R. Wooden Award preseason candidates
Kansan staff report
Two Kansas men's basketball players were named as candidates for the 1997-98 John R. Wooden Awards. Senior Raef LaFrentz and junior Paul Pierce joined Texas Tech's Cory Carr and Baylor's Brian Skinner as the Big 12 Conference representatives on the list.
LaFrentz and North Carolina's Antawan Jamison were members of the 1996-97 Wooden All-American Team.
The award committee conducts a preseason poll to determine the top 25 candidates. Selections are based on last year's individual and team records. Ten players will be selected for the All-American Team, one of whom will be the Collegiate Player of the Year.
To qualify to be a candidate, a student athlete must be enrolled full-time at an institution of higher education in the United States. Each player is required to have a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 and to be making progress toward graduation. The player's fulfillment of the requirements must be certified by the his institution's faculty academic representative or director of athletics.
Once the players are certified, an advisory board selects 15 of the players and places them on a ballot. The ballot is sent to 1,000 sportswriters, broadcasters and editors in 50 states. These voters

Wildcats headed to courtroom
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN, Kan. — Kansas State basketball player Manny Dies has been ordered to stand trial in November on charges of assaulting a columnist for "The Kansas State Collegian" newspaper.
Dies faces misdemeanor charges of criminal damage to property, assault and criminal trespass in the May 5 incident. Another player, Pero Vasiljevic, is charged with assault and criminal trespass.

Big 12 dominated by running backs
By Harley V. Ratliff

Kansan Sportswriter
With the start of the college football season less than a week away, it seems appropriate to use my first column getting everyone
OPINION
caught up on the ins and outs of the best football conference in
the land - the Big 12 Conference.
The Three D's Remember these running backs: Demond Parker (Oklahoma), Dante Hall (Texas A&M) and Darren Davis (Iowa State). While Texas' Ricky Williams and Nebraska's Ahman Green have garnered most of the preseason accolades, Demond, Dante and Darren will be the league's best in the backfield.
Parker, who was one of only two freshmen to rush for more than 1,000 yards last season, could be the Sooners' best back since Billy Sims. He has breathtaking speed and the ability to break the long one at any point in the game.
Hall began last season as a little used fourth string tailback. But as the year continued, Aggie coaches could hardly keep the 5-foot-9 dynamo off the field. Hall used his devastating blend of speed and power to run past linebackers and through safeties.
Davis, the brother of former Iowa State standout Troy, is still a relatively unknown commodity on the field. But with his brother now playing on Sundays, Darren will have plenty of opportunities to touch the ball in the Cyclones prehistoric offense. He may not get 2,000 yards, but he could come close.
"I knew Tommie Frazier and you, Mr. Frost, are no Tommie Frazier." OK, I don't know Tommie Frazier. Never have and probably never will. But I
think we all know that Scott Frost is never going to fill the enormous shoes left in Lincoln, Neb., by Frazier. Still, Frost has spent the preseason predicting glory for himself and his team. Don't believe the hype. Nebraska will once again be great, but it will be because of a smothering "D" and yet another stable of great running backs.
ZERO That is the combined number of winning records posted by Kansas State and Texas A&M's non-conference opponents. The Wildcats open a cream puff schedule at 1-10 Northern Illinois, while the Aggies host the ever-imposing Bearkats (Yeah, that's Bearkat with a "k") of Division I-AA Sam Houston State. Tough.
The Big 12 will crush the Big 10, I guarantee it. I'm sick and tired of Big 10 Conference football. Never has there been a more overrated, overhyped and overexposed football conference. Does anyone remember the last time Michigan or Ohio State won a national championship? I didn't think so. But in case you were wondering, the maize and blue haven't been king of the college football world since the Truman administration. The Buckeyes last won in '68 — when we had troops in Vietnam.
To back up my claims of Big 12 dominance, all you need to do is tune into ABC. I boldly guarantee that next weekend the oncemighty Oklahoma Sooners will pound the nouveau riche Northwestern Wildcats right off the north shore of Chicago.
And if that isn't enough, two weeks later the Colorado Buffaloes will stampede into Ann Arbor, Mich., to once again pummel those ever-annoying Wolverines.

Injury-related deaths in football decrease
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Five high school football players died from injuries sustained while playing during the 1996 season, one less than the year before, according to a University of North Carolina study.
The Associated Press
Twelve other players, including one professional and one college player, also died while playing but from heart failure and other medical conditions, the study reported.
C
Mueller said four of the five high school deaths were due to brain injuries. The other death due to an injury came from a blow to the chest.
The report also found that nine people playing football were permanently paralyzed last year, including six in high school and three in college.
"Coaches need to remind players continually to keep the head out of football," Mueller said. "No player should make initial contact with his head when blocking and tackling."
"We found two heatstroke deaths in 1996," said Frederick Mueller, chairman of the physical education, exercise and sport science department at UNC-Chapel Hill. "During the 1995 season, there were four heat stroke deaths, which made no sense since proper precautions should prevent all such deaths."
No names, ages or hometowns of those killed were released in the study, which is compiled from newspaper stories and information from various associations with the help of 150 volunteers who monitor sports accidents in their states.
Mueller attributed the drop in injury-caused deaths to rules adopted in the 1970s which prohibited using the head as a first point of contact during blocking and tackling.
Shortened practices and non-contact drills where players don't wear helmets also help prevent heatstroke and reduce accidents, he said.
The annual survey began in 1933.
Surprising success for athlete
Student excels in both football and baseball for UMass
Associated Press
AMHERST, Mass. — Doug Clark is lucky he didn't get laughed right out of the baseball office that day in December 1995.
His baseball coach is, too.
His baseball coach, Clark marched into coach Mike Stone's office a complete stranger. He introduced himself, looked Stone in the eye, and said he'd really like to play for the Division I, Atlantic 10-champion team at the University of Massachusetts.
Oh, by the way, he had never played baseball in high school — just football and tennis. He came to Massachusetts on a football scholarship. But he had a notion he'd be pretty good at baseball.
"I use a lot of the same things in baseball as football," he said before a football practice earlier this week. "It's mental toughness."
In 15 years of coaching, Stone has never fielded anyone else who did not play baseball in high school. But
Stone thought he saw the hint of something in Clark — an extraordinary self-assurance.
"Just the way he asked was different from most kids," Stone said recently. "Some kids act more like ballplayers than others."
Clark not only made the team, but was picked by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 20th round of the draft earlier this year. He has returned to Massachusetts, though, to finish his fourth year, showcase himself to the major leagues and perfect his Bo Jackson/Deion Sanders imitation — excelling at both football and baseball
Clark, 21, was practicing this week to start once again at wide receiver for Massachusetts' Division I-AA football program. Long relying on the run, the offense is trying to develop a more potent passing game, largely with the help of the 6-foot-2, 198-pound Clark. He runs 40 yards in 4.5 seconds and led the team last fall with 20 receptions for 379 yards.
Last spring, he hit a team-best. 415, batting fourth or fifth, with 11 homers and 60 RBI. With Clark in center field, the team went 35-12 and captured its fourth straight A-10 crown.
"I'd like to have 10 of him and put him all over the place," football coach Mike Hodges said.
Clark's baseball came along more slowly. He played only a single season with American Legion in high school. Then, when he was forced to sit out his freshman year in football as a redshirt to give him more time to develop, his competitive juices began to flow along another path. He played in a regional baseball league that summer and then pitched himself to Stone.
At first, his inexperience showed — but so did his raw ability.
Just two years later, major league baseball has recognized his ability, and he hopes to fashion a career there. Four of Stone's players have done so, including Ron Vollone, the Milwaukee reliever who once played tight end for Massachusetts.
A biology major, Clark says he wants to complete his degree so he can compete elsewhere if pro baseball falls through. Some friends and would-be mentors tell Clark that he's risking a football injury that could ruin a major league career.
"They don't understand the thirst I have for football. You have to quench that thirst," he said.

New faces fill college football coaching slots
By Paul Newberry
Associated Press
Rocke, Leahy, Parseghian, Holtz
.Bob Davie?
Wade, Thomas, Bryant, Stallings ... Mike DuBose?
Who are these guys anyway? How did Davie and DuBose wind up with two of the most prestigious coaching jobs in the country? Why would Notre Dame and Alabama entrust their programs to a couple of rookies when they could have had their pick of established head coaches?
Actually, the Fighting Irish and Crimson Tide aren't alone. Schools around the country have grown weary of recycling the same coaches. Instead, they've shifted their focus to more obscure outposts when it's time for a new man.
Many of this season's first-year coaches cut their teeth as assistants at major universities or in the NFL. Others came through the small-college pipeline, where they gained experience at the top without suffering major-college headaches.
"I'm pretty confident of what I'm getting into," said Davie, who moved up from defensive coordinator to succeed Lou Holtz at Notre Dame. "I've got a pretty firm handle on what they expect."
A new generation of coaches has emerged, so we can bid adieu to well-known figures like Gene Stallings, Johnny Majors, Bill Mallory, Bill Curry, Jim Wacker and Jim Sweeney.
Let's welcome aboard such non-descript names as Tom Holmoe (California), Cam Cameron (Indiana), Hal Mumme (Kentucky), Walt Harris (Pittsburgh) and Tom O'Brien (Boston College).
As for Mr. Munnie, he believes he's ready to match wits with the likes of Steve Spurrier after spending the
last eight seasons as coach at Iowa Wesleyan, an NAIA school, and at NCAA Division II Valdosta State.
"Valdosta is unique," Mumme said, referring to the south Georgia town renowned for its high school football. "They don't think you're successful unless you win in double digits."
There were 24 coaching changes among NCAA Division I-A schools, the most since 1987. Of the new coaches, only four have been at the head of another major-college program.
Glen Mason moved to Minnesota after stints at Kansas and Kent. Joe Tiller shifted from Wyoming to Purdue. Woody Widenhofer, who coached at Missouri from 1985-88, gets a second chance with Vanderblit. And Gary Darnell, the interim coach at Florida for a few games in 1988, was hired by Western Michigan.
Then there are coaches like O'Brien. He was an assistant for 22 years under George Welsh before he got the call from Boston College, which was looking for a fresh start after three mediocre seasons and a betting scandal during the Dan Henning regime.
For all of its tradition, the Big 10 will have a much different look this season because of the revolving door among coaches. Four of its 11 schools changed course after last season, with three choosing to give their head coaching job to men with backgrounds in pro football.
Indiana's Cam Cameron was the quarterback coach for the Washington Redskins for three seasons, while Ron Turner of Illinois served as offensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears. Tiller promises a pass-happy offense at Purdue after coaching at Wyoming and with the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League

I cannot remember anything from series-clinching game six against the Utah Jazz. But I vividly remember Jordan at the postgame press conference answering questions about the team's future.
During the summer I became a WNBA groupie, tracking the Los Angeles Sparks across the country to follow my hardcourt queen — former Kansas guard Tamecka Dixon.
While a groupie on one of ESPN's commercials was searching for a dominant center with good passing skills, I was looking for someone different. I wanted someone who could shoot the lights out, play smothering defense and a playground style of basketball that the league needed.
You should agree with me about this unless you're coached by Roy Williams.
Credit Within Reach
"There's no guarantee in rebuilding," Jordan said. "The Cubs have been rebuilding for 42 years. I just want this franchise to show loyalty and respect to the people who helped build all this."

Mike Tyson had always been one of my favorite athletes, despite the long list of troubles that followed him outside the boxing ring.
Remember the Nintendo game
"Mike Tyson Knockout?" Do you
remember fighting Super Macho
Man and Mr. Sandman in that game?
You can say what you want about the place of women's professional basketball in America, but I'm not saying anything. I know these women play better than me any day and any time—with ease.
If only Tyson's life could be as simple as that game. Maybe he would be at peace with himself and those who encounter him. Apparently he's not, so instead of becoming a boxing great, he might have to settle for the role of a tragic hero who could never escape his past.
Independent Study
All right, I admit that I never was a groupie. But I did follow the Sparks to see how good Dixon was compared to some of the world's best female basketball players, past and present.
Dixon has averaged 15.3 points per game in her last nine games and was named the WNBA Player of the Week one week ago. For the season she's averaging 11.1 points, two assists and 1.91 steals per game.
Dixon also is shooting 46.2 percent from three-point range - first in the league. Those aren't bad numbers for someone who was thought to lack range during her college career.

Investigators examine Pell grants, work-study
Question of abuse reaches grand jury
WASHINGTON — The Education Department is auditing university records for possible abuse of federal financial aid to support college athletes.
The Associated Press
Assistant Inspector General Dianne Van Riper said Aug. 13 that agents have begun a closer look at grants, work-study programs and other financial aid. She would not say which or how many universities were being examined.
She also confirmed a federal grand jury is separately investigating aid practices at a university, but she gave no details.
ESPN reported Aug. 12 that players at 22 universities — almost all football powers — have been pinpointed by investigators. Mississippi State was one of the campuses visited, "The (Jackson, Miss.) Clarion-Ledger" reported.
The decision to pursue a broader investigation follows information uncovered during a
"It was indicated during that investigation that other schools may have been doing similar things," said Van Riper, who gave no indication how long the current investigation would take.
The Miami investigation led to the conviction of Anthony Russell, a former academic adviser. Russell was sentenced to three years in 1994 for helping athletes, mostly football players, fraudulently get federal aid.
The Education Department also was told by the General Accounting Office, an investigative arm of Congress, about problems with Pell Grants, which help students from poor families pay for college
widely publicized investigation at the University of Miami, and from other sources.
"We were also getting some of these smaller isolated allegations coming in about other schools, which caused us to believe we ought to take a closer look," Van Riper said. The larger investigation has been under way for about two years, but only now have agents begun collecting records at institutions.
No cases have been referred to federal prosecutors as a result of
this broader look.
If students get a grant, other forms of aid may have to be lowered. Many athletes get scholarships in addition to the grants.
Although the focus is on football, other sports are involved.
About 3.7 million people received the grants, of up to $2,700, last year. The average grant is $1,700. The 1997 budget appropriated $6 billion for grants.
Van Riper said investigators were looking at whether information on Pell Grant applications was true and whether the students who are supposed to be eligible are the ones who got the money.
At Mississippi State, four federal officials requested financial-aid files of all members of the football team after arriving Tuesday morning at the Starkville campus, an MSU vice president told "The Clarion-Ledger."
The investigators are also looking at work-study, which helps finance part-time jobs for needy students.
"We will cooperate in their investigation to the fullest," Roy Ruby said. "We are confident the office has awarded the financial aid properly."
Nebraska backfield takes another hit
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska I-back Jay Sims will be sidelined for three to four weeks and will miss the season's opening game after straining a ligament in his right knee during a scrimmage.
The injury was a blow to a backfield already plagued with injuries.
With DeAngelo Evans still recovering from a pelvis injury, Sims was the only L-back behind Ahman Green with experience. He played in 20 games the past two seasons, carrying 76 times for 483 vards.
Huwero
("The injury) is at a position where we couldn't afford any more injuries," coach Tom Osborne said. "Jay apparently got hit as he planted his foot, and the knee rolled a little."
Freshmen Correll Buckhalter and Dan White are left to back up Green, who had an injury-plagued season in 1996.
"We figured one of the freshmen would have to play this year,
even before we had the injuries.
Osborne said. "Now maybe both
of them will."
Redshirt freshman Dan Alexander, who is listed as a fullback and an I-back, also is recovering from a knee injury. He has been cleared for noncontact practice but will be out for at least the season opener against Akron Aug. 30.
Forget cheering, player needs crowd to wiggle
At fullback, Ben Kingston is recovering from a knee injury, and Willie Miller is recuperating from shoulder surgery.
The Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. — When Dwight Collins scores a touchdown, he's not interested in the roar of the crowd.
What the University of Central Florida running back wants to see is thousands of arms and wiggling fingers in the air. That lets Collins, who has been deaf since infancy, know he's being cheered.
When Collins was looking at schools last year, many colleges were impressed with his high school career stats of 2,587 yards and 27 touchdowns. But he only got offers from Central Florida, Tulane, Gallaudet, the nation's top university for deaf students, and McNeeSE State, near his hometown of Lake Charles, La.
And he is being cheered — by his Golden Knight teammates and fans who see a player who hasn't let a disability get in the way of his career.
"Not all the colleges were interested in me because of my deaf
Deafness wasn't an issue when the school recruited the muscled, 210-pound running back, coach Gene McDowell said. "He's a heck of a football player. He runs real fast. He's driven to excel and he has a high skill level."
ness," Collins said through an interpreter. "They saw it as a handicap even though I didn't think it was."
Collin's hearing impairment, which is at a 98 percent loss, forces him to concentrate harder than his teammates and he rarely needs to be told twice to do something, the coach said.
Collins was 11 months old when he lost his hearing after contracting meningitis, said his mother, Annie Collins, a bank worker. His father enrolled him in a karate class at age 6. From there, it was on to weightlifting, track and football.
Since his arrival this summer, Collins has been treated like a celebrity.
Collins doesn't read lips. He relies on his interpreter, Angel Carenter.
NCAA upholds Slippery Rock scholarship sanctions
The Associated Press
OVERLAND PARK — Last week an NCAA appeals committee upheld scholarship sanctions imposed on Slippery Rock for violations in its basketball program.
Slippery Rock had appealed the scholarship portion of the penalties imposed in August 1996, calling them excessive and inappropriate.
Penalties imposed by the NCAA committee on infractions limited scholarships for the 1996-97 year and for 1997-98.
Slippery Rock had argued that its self-imposed penalties and corrective actions were substantial enough that scholarships should be restored for 1997-98.
The NCAA Division II steering committee upheld the scholarship restrictions for 1997-98 because of the advantage gained by Slippery Rock, because of the seriousness of the violations and because of a lack of institutional control.
The committee said the fact that the violations continued for several years proved lack of institutional control.
At various times since as early as the 1985-86 season, Barlett improperly arranged for transportation, loans, long-distance telephone calls and payments for imaginary work for other players, the NCAA said.
The NCAA committee on infractions found that head coach Bob Barlett, who resigned in November 1994, improperly used his own money and falsified school employment forms to get cash to pay for tuition, housing and books for five basketball players before the 1994-95 school year.
After it discovered the violations, Slippery Rock barred itself from post-season play for one season, cut in half the number of on-campus visits by prospective recruits and reduced the men's basketball budget by 15 percent for one year.
Slippery Rock placed itself on probation for 1996-97, but the NCAA extended the probationary period through 1997-98.
Despite age, 60-year-old battles on gridiron College allows man to practice with team
The Associated Press
They cheered and yelled when he made a lunging attempt to catch a pass. They offered advice on technique when he faltered.
ASHLAND, Ohio — Edgard Barreto receives plenty of support from his teammates on the Ashland College football team.
Encouraging a teammate is normal for football practices. But Barretto's situation is far from normal. The 60-year-old is attempting to play for his alma mater 39 years after last taking the field.
"When I'm 60 years old, I hope I can move as well and run as well as he does," senior safety Chris Fichtner said. "For his age, I'd say he's doing real well. We're all rooting him on."
The idea of a 60-year-old chasing men 40 years his junior might seem crazy, but it matches Barreto's lifestyle. Having completed more than 200 marathons, including two a weekend for a year, Barreto, of Napples, Fla., said he and his family never have been limited by social norms.
"We try very hard not to be patterned by society,not to behave our age," he said.
But wanting to compete and actually playing college football are different things.
Eagles coach Gary Keller said it's unlikely Barreto will see action.
"We have a policy that we dress everybody on the team," Keller said. "We're not going to discriminate in terms of who's going to be on the sidelines."
Although Barreto is in great shape, he lacks the size (5-foot-10, 180 pounds), speed and agility required to shadow the speediest receivers. His coaches said he probably would spend much of practice, and all season, watching.
In practice, Barreto will work out with the defensive backs. Secondary coach Doug DeVito is concerned about the situation.
"As long as he can accept his role and not impede the development of other players, then he can come out," DeVito said. "But I refuse to let it be a disruption to our team and our secondary.
"I'm not going to let him get into contact drills. I can't consciously do that," he said.
Fichtner feels Barreto is being treated like any other incoming first-year player. But he is glad Barreto will not participate in contact drills.
"I really don't know if I could hit him as hard as I hit somebody in a game," he said. "That'd be tough."
A retired chemistry teacher sporting a gold stud in his left ear, Barreto will return to Ashland this fall to begin work on a master's degree in sports science.
As far as eligibility, he has two semesters remaining, and under NCAA rules for Division II and III, there is no time restriction on when he can use them and no age limit.
His status with the team didn't deter Barreto after his first full practice Aug. 12. Despite observing all contact drills, he couldn't wait for the afternoon session.
"I feel absolutely great," Barreto said. "I'm never discouraged."
"My knees have been through so many marathons, and I ran so much, that I just can't keep up with the young guys," he said.
Barreto clearly knows his physical limitations.
But, he notes, Ashland's motto is, "Accent the Individual."
"And that's exactly what they do," he said. "I didn't get kicked out. That's why regardless of how bad I am or how short I fall, I'm not going to walk out."

Tennessee's Peyton Manning returns
He said no to NFL for final season
The Associated Press
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Peyton Manning has heard it all before:
He stayed at Tennessee to win the Heisman Trophy so he can parlay college football's top award into a huge pro contract, then top it off with a zillion dollars in endorsements.
"Bull." Manning said.
It had to be something mercenary, didn't it? No modern athlete turns away when the money's on the table.
"I did what I wanted to do. I wanted to come out one more year and be a senior in college at Tennessee. People can analyze every single thing in the world, but there's really not much to it."
In a world where the NFL is the goal of virtually every college football player, Manning is fulfilling a lifelong love affair with games played on Saturdays.
He simply wasn't ready to give it up, not even for the $25 million or so he could have gotten as a pro.
"I know there's been an awful lot said already about Peyton returning, but I don't
think enough can be said about his character and integrity," Volunteers coach Phillip Fulmer said. "Even though he doesn't necessarily want it to be, he made a great statement for all of college football, the University of Tennessee and our football program."
Peyton's father, Archie Manning, the former star at Mississippi and a two-time All-Pro with the New Orleans Saints, said he has been amazed at the number of positive letters and comments he's gotten since Peyton decided to remain in school.
"Peyton has never looked back on it and is happier than I ever seen him," Archie Manning said. "That makes his mother and I and his brothers feel better than anything else."
Peyton Manning never saw his father play college ball. But as a boy he listened to — even memorized — taped radio broadcasts from Archie Manning's days at Mississippi.
When the time came to pick a college, Peyton Manning broke a lot of Rebel hearts when he spurned his father's alma mater and went to Tennessee. He said then that it was the right place for him, and he repeated the statement when he decided to stay.
"Believe me, I want to have an even better experience in the NFL than I've had in college," he said. "I just wanted to play one more year in college first."
Manning graduated cum laude in May with
a degree in speech communications, taking just three years to get his diploma. This fall, for the first time since he got to campus, he won't be taking a full course load. He is continuing his education in communications as a graduate student.
Manning already owns 28 Tennessee passing records, including career yardage (7,382), completions (576) and touchdowns (53). He's 28-4 as a starter, and either is or will be in the top five of most career Southeastern Conference passing categories by the time he finished.
But his team has never won so much as an SEC Eastern Division title, despite a 21-3 record the last two years. Being in the same division as defending national champion Florida will do that.
Manning will be at the top of most preseason lists of Heisman favorites. The questions about it started before last season — he finished sixth in the voting as a sophomore, eighth last year — and his stock answer hasn't wavered.
"I'm not about the Heisman," he said. "I want to go out and win. If individual things come my way, fine, but all I want to do is win games."
Seconds later, characteristically softening any unintended barb, he added: "It's a huge award. It's as prestigious as it gets. I'm not trying to knock the award. I just can't go out

and try to win it."
What Manning said he wants most is a successful season for his team. The Vols were hyped as national championship contenders last year, and press this season ranked No. 5 in The Associated Press preseason poll.
The first two games are tough nonconference contests, against Texas Tech in Knoxville and UCLA in Pasadena.
The Florida game, which for the past four years has been the defining moment of the SEC Eastern Division race, is in Gainesville on Sept. 20. Alabama lurks down the road in Birmingham in October.
Given the Vols' problems with Florida, plus lessons learned from last year's upset loss to Memphis, championship talk is muted this year.

Tough road for Notre Dame's Bob Davie
"We have an extremely challenging schedule and all we want to do is be competitive every Saturday," Manning said. "If it does work out, then we can talk about it. But right now there's no point in talking. We just haven't gotten the job done the past two years. It's more of a humbled approach. Let's go out and give it our best shot, and see what happens."
New football coach follows Irish legends
The Associated Press
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Bob Davie was concluding yet another public appearance, this time at a Notre Dame Quarterback Club golf outing, when a familiar face interrupted.
And with that one hug, it seemed as though the 74-year-old Parseghian was trying to pass along all the wisdom Davie will need to cope with the pressures of the most
"Hey coach, I've got a few questions to ask you, too!" yelled the tiny, silver-haired Ara Parseghian, laughing as he moved to embrace Davie.
Davie, Notre Dame's defensive coordinator for three seasons before being hired as head coach on Nov. 24, 1996, already has made a
glamorous job in college sports — football coach at Notre Dame.
Can I do? Parseghian thinks so.
"What I see is some real in-depth thinking on his part," said
Davie and the legendary Irish coach met only three months ago, at a golf outing in Dallas, and already they're become friends.
"If I have gotten close to one person, it would have to be Ara," said Davie, adding that he rarely speaks to his predecessor, Lou Holtz. "Having Ara around gives you confidence because all of this could overwhelm you."
Parseghian, who coached the Irish to national titles in 1966 and 1973 and finished with a 95-17-4 record in 11 seasons (1964-74). "He's already thought out some critical situations. He has a plan. I like his vision. Notre Dame has a bright future."
So far, Davie's been far from overwhelmed. He's been too busy revamping his offense, renovating his office, reaching out to students and recharging the Irish spirit among its legion of fans.
N
"I try to focus on things that will help us win; the other stuff will take care of itself," Davie said. "There are things that, as coach of Notre Dame, you need to do — appearances, speaking engagements, dealing with the media, visiting with students and
Davie is clearly a player's coach, but he's well aware of the added obligations.
big impression on the players, who open the season at home against Georgia Tech on Sept. 6.
"He's a young guy and can relate to us very well," defensive end Melvin Dansby said. "We can't get anything past him because he's already been there, done that. You'd lay down your life for him and I think he'd the same for you. That's why we give him so much respect, because he gives us so much back."
parents. That's all part of it. You just have to weigh what's most important."
After the Quarterback Club banquet, where Davie led a crowd of about 200 in giving Parseghian a standing ovation, the essence of the new coach began to come through.
Disarmingly friendly, with a quick smile, the 42-year-old Davie becomes seriously intense only when talking about the thing that saved him from a career in the steel mills of western Pennsylvania — football.
Davie, married with two children
"Right now, it's all ball," Davie said after most of the crowd had departed from the dinner earlier this month. "I'm really looking forward to it. At some point, it all comes down to ball. That point is here."
— 13-year-old Audra and 9-year-old Clay — played tight end for Youngstown State before assistant coaching stints at Pittsburgh, Arizona, Tulane and Texas A&M.
"Sports was my whole life growing up," the native of Sewickley, Pa., said. "My dad always stressed academics and sports because he didn't want me to go to work in that steel mill."
It was close to midnight now, and it seemed as if Davie could go on talking ball forever. The manager at the banquet hall had been waiting for hours to close down, but understood the situation.
As Davie walked out the door, he apologized for any inconvenience.
"Anyone else but you would be pushing it-a lot," the manager said. Everyone smiled.

Texas Tech to clean house
The Associated Press
LUBBOCK, Texas — Texas Tech will let go two employees involved in administrative gaffes that forced the Red Raiders to forfeit their Big 12 men's basketball games, athletic director Gerald Myers said.
Taylor McNeel and Michele Matticks' employment will end Aug. 31
The university's athletic administrators are ranked here.
McNeel had been assistant ath

assistant football coach and recruiting coordinator. Matthias joined the staff in 1995 after spending 11 years at Houston.
Two athletic department employees accused of violating NCAA rules
by former football player Stephen Gaines have resigned this year. Assistant football coach Rhudy Maskew quit because of health problems; events manager Ronn Reeger said he went into private business.
Mistakes in compliance and certification have cost six football and men's basketball players playing time or eligibility. And the baseball team could face NCAA sanctions because the school miscalculated the number of scholarships awarded.
Bible school may haunt football players
The Associated Press
HOUSTON — New York Jets player Marcus Coleman was among seven ex-Texas Tech athletes who took a Bible school correspondence course currently under NCAA scrutiny, the "Houston Chronicle" reported.
Unidentified sources told the newspaper that Coleman, a defensive back, was one of the seven who obtained course credit from Southeastern College of Lakeland, Fla.
Coleman, through team spokesman Doug Miller, declined to comment on the matter for
The Associated Press
Texas Tech has acknowledged that seven of its former athletes, five of them football players, obtained correspondence-course credit from the Bible school. The school has refused to identify the players.
If credits were used to establish Coleman's eligibility for that 1993 season, the NCAA could cite the school for using an ineligible player and direct the university to forfeit the games in which he played.
Coleman started 10 games in 1983, helping the Red Raiders reach the John Hancock Bowl and

post a 6-6 record.
"I have nobody (in school) at Tech, and I don't care about the NCAA," Coleman told the "Chronicle." "Those rules are a bunch of crap, selectively enforced. You wouldn't be here if this was Notre Dame."
Telephone records show that 35 minutes in calls to Southeastern College's 800 number were placed to the school in 1993 from the home of Coleman's parents in Dallas.
Orlando Pace signs with St. Louis Rams
The Associated Press
IRVING, Texas — The St. Louis Rams lost a preseason game while adding a 320-pound hunk of talent to the team.
Orlando Pace, the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft out of Ohio State, has agreed to terms with the Rams after missing most of training camp in a holdout.
St. Louis coach Dick Vermeil, was happy negotiations were completed. "I'm really excited. This is great. It's nice that it is over," Vermeil said.
He added, "It's taken a long time. We're just glad to get it all over with. I respect Orlando Pace tremendously. I'm happy he's going to be with us. I'm also pleased that our administration was as patient as it was."
Pace's agent, Kevin Poston, said the seven-year contract is worth about $25.6 million. Pace can opt out of the contract after three years if certain playing time incentives are met.
The two sides had been at a standstill since the last offer by the Rams of six-year deal for $24.7 million — only $9.5 million of which was guaranteed.
"We're pleased with it. We're sorry it took so long, but we think we got fair market value for Orlando," Poston said.
"He's very excited."
The Rams' take on the contract was different than Poston's.
"Basically, this is a six-year," $18.3 million deal and it's not substantially different from what we offered in late July," Rams executive vice president Jay Zygmunt told the "St. Louis Post-Dispatch."
Zygmunt said the deal actually is worth $29.4 million during seven years.
"The reality is Pace will never see the seventh year," Zygmunt said.
The seventh year calls for Pace to make a base salary of $2.1 million with an astounding roster bonus of $9 million, which Pace would get merely for making the roster.
The entire deal is structured on the basis of Pace voiding the contract after the third year, with the Rams having the rights to buy back years 4 through 6 of the deal.

League realignment a hit with fans, report states
Changes might boost attendance
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — According to baseball's pollster, fans favor league realignment by a 2-1 margin, and casual fans would go to games more often if there was a radical change.
"The prospective shift to the geographic realignment plan is in sync with major league baseball's overall strategy and goal of reaching out to casual fans, minorities and younger fans," concludes the 37-page report, presented to owners July 30 by Penn, Schoen & Berland Associates, the polling firm used by the Clinton administration.
Owners are expected to try to decide the issue when they meet in Atlanta from Sept. 16-18. No team may be forced to shift leagues against its will, meaning any one of 17 teams can block the proposal.
"Its logic is overwhelming when you think about it," acting commissioner Bud Selig said. "Like everything in life, it has its pluses and minuses. We believe the pluses far outweigh the minuses. This is returning to our roots. This is that way it was."
Several sources have said there was opposition within the NL, with the Mets, Braves, Pirates, Cubs and Reds said to be opposed. But Selig is trying to line up the votes.
"It's almost club by club," Selig said. "Every franchise is different. Every market is different."
Nine teams would shift from the AL to the NL and eight would move the other way. Each team would play about 93 games against teams within its division, about 48 games against the other division in its league, and 21 against teams in the other leagues.
"The research also shows that there will be no drop-off in attendance among traditionalists, the core of baseball fans," according to the report, a copy of which was obtained
"The suggestion is strong here that given the enhanced interest in attending games, major league baseball will probably be able to recoup most, if not all, of its loss in attendance it has suffered since the strike."
Under the most radical plan owners are considering, baseball would realign into two leagues of two divisions each, with the Eastern timezone teams most probably in the AL and the rest in the NL. Under that plan, the divisions would be:
AL East—Baltimore, Boston, Montreal, New York Mets, New York Yankees, Philadelphia, Toronto:
AL South-Midwest—Atlanta, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit, Florida, Tampa Bay and Pittsburgh;
NL Central—Chicago Cubs,
Chicago White Sox, Houston, Kansas
City, Milwaukee, Minnesota, St.
Louis and Texas;
NL West—Anaheim, Arizona, Colorado, Los Angeles, Oakland, San Francisco, San Diego and Seattle.
The nationwide poll of a 801 fans, taken July 20-21, showed realignment was favored strongly or somewhat by 62 percent after they heard arguments for and against it, with 31 percent strongly or somewhat opposed.
Fans, by a 59-40 percent margin, agreed that realignment would destroy the continuity of league records and the historical makeup of the two leagues. Fans also said they would increase their attendance from an average of 3.5 games per season to 5 if the realignment plan took effect.
"What the poll really showed is it is going to get the casual fans back," Doug Schoen said Thursday in an interview. "I figured maybe a slight majority would favor realignment, but in the focus groups there was real
Poll results
These are some of the 94 questions asked in the survey by Penn, Schoen & Berland Associates that was commissioned by baseball owners. The survey of 801 avid and moderate fans 16 years or older was taken July 20-21 and has an error margin of plus or minus 3.46 percent (figures rounded to nearest percentage point):
After listening to a description of the realignment plan and arguments for and against it, fans were asked their opinion:
Strongly favor : 32 percent
Somewhat favor: 30 percent
Somewhat oppose: 16 percent
Strongly oppose: 15 percent
Don't know: 7 percent
After being told the realignment plan would destroy the continuity of league records and end the historical nature of the AL and NL, fans were asked if this was a reason to oppose realignment:
Strongly convincing; 30 percent
Somewhat convincing; 29 percent
Not very convincing: 22 percent Not convincing at all: 18 percent
't know: 1 percent
Don't know: 1 percent Fans were asked if they were more likely to attend games after a geographic realignment:
Much more likely: 30 percent Somewhat more likely: 30 per cent
Somewhat less likely: 13 percent
Much less likely: 14 percent Don't know: 13 percent Source: The Associated Press
enthusiasm for geography."
enthusiasm for geography." In a further effort to gauge opinion, Penn, Schoen & Berland also conducted two focus groups each in Cleveland, New York, Miami and San Francisco.

NFL camps busy as regular season approaches
The Associated Press
With the start of the National Football League regular season, just three weeks away, NFL camps have picked up intensity. Rosters have to be cut down to 60 by tomorrow. Here is a roundup of what is happening in camps around the NFL.
Chicago Bears
Erik Kramer was scheduled to start at quarterback against Arizona last night. That doesn't necessarily
mean he's overtaken Rick Mirer in the Bears' quarterback derby.
C
Kramer was to play the first quarter against
the Cardinals and Mirer the next two. Both will play with the first team.
"Both Erik and Rick are getting a lot of work and both are doing well. I'm very comfortable with the work they've been getting," coach Dave Wannstedt said.
San Francisco 49ers
Former 49ers center Jesse Sapolu apparently won't be rejoining the because
team because the two sides can't agree on a salary.
The 49ers were interested in Sapolu to fill in for

injured starter Chris Dalman, who is expected to miss the first two or three regular-season games while recovering from torn ligaments in his left knee.
Sapolu played for the 49ers for 14 years, but was released in February soon after undergoing surgery to repair a leaky heart valve. Doctors have cleared him to resume playing.
Steve Gordon and Derrick Deese are now expected to fill in for Dalman.
New York Giants
Whether the New York Giants continue to train at the University at Albany seems to depend on whether a sponsor can be found to cover the $158,000 annual cost to run the

nothing but praise for the facility. But money will be a factor in whether the Giants stay through 2000 or go hunting for a new site.
Under the five-year contract signed by the Giants and the university in 1996, both sides can opt out of the deal after this camp.
The money goes for security, field maintenance, electrical work and other expenses that can be recouped from parking and other fees.
The city covered the cost last year, and the "Times Union of Albany" newspaper put up the money this year.
Fullback Ray Zellars, who missed the team's first two preseason games with a pulled hamstring, planned to start against Oakland

Jacksonville,
led by Brunell,
reached the
AFC championship game last season. This season, the Jaguars were considered one of the AFC favorites, but Brunell went down with a knee injury Aug. 9 in an exhibition game against the Giants, and hopes of playing deep into January again started to fade.
But Brunell, who led the NFL with 4,367 passing yards last season, will not need surgery to repair his injured right knee.
A 45-minute arthroscopic examination Thursday showed that Brunell had partial tears of the posterior cruciate ligament and the anterior cruciate ligament. The medial collateral ligament was torn off the lower bone, Stephen Lucie, physician, said.
"I'm looking forward to getting back and competing and continuing the season with the team," said Brunell, who two weeks ago signed a five-year, $31.5 million contract. "This is great news and it is truly a blessing."
Brunell will have to undergo eight weeks of rehabilitation involving muscle strengthening and wearing a brace. He likely will miss regular-season games against Baltimore, the Giants, Pittsburgh and Washington.
Jaguars coach Tom Coughlin said the team was elated when it found out Brunell would not need reconstructive surgery.
knee doesn't require surgery and that this season isn't lost," Coughlin said.
Replacing Brunell will be Rob Johnson, the Jaguars' 1995 fourthround draft pick out of Southern Cal, who has thrown just seven regular-season passes.
Philadelphia Eagles
Coach Ray Rhodes, as expected, selected Ty Detmer instead of Rodney Peete as the team's starting quarterback. Detmer took the job last season after Peete was injured, and it was believed the job was Detmer's to lose in the preseason.
"Both guys were sharp," Rhodes said. "It was not a situation where one guy was so far ahead of the other guy."
"We're happy for Mark that the
Detmer said, "I feel good about it. I feel comfortable, like I'm getting better each week and I'll continue that."
Petee took the news in stride, although he did say that he wouldn't mind a chance to play elsewhere.

Friesz leads Seahawks past Colts in exhibition
SEATTLE — John Friesz wants to put a lid on the quarterback controversy in Seattle.
Friesz finally got untracked in an exhibition game Saturday night, passing for three touchdowns in the first half as the Seahawks routed the Indianapolis Colts 45-3.
It was the second most points
scored for the Seahawks in an exhibition game in their 22-year history. They beat San Francisco 55-20 on Aug. 24, 1979, in the Kingdom.
Friesz and the Seahawks' No. 1 offense handed off a 24-0 lead to backup Warren Moon after connecting with Joey Galloway for an 11-yard touchdown pass with 3:04 gone in the second quarter.
4-for-5 for 53 yards
Friesz also had scoring passes of 49
and 44 yards to James McKnight. In five series, he was 8-for-15 for 157 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions. They were his first three scoring passes of the preseason.
Starting quarterback Jim Harbaugh, who didn't have much time because of a pass rush from Cortez Kennedy and Chad Brown, completed 3-of-9 passes for 25 yards in
The Colts averted a shutout when Cary Blanchard kicked a 51-yard field goal with 1:46 left in the opening half.
Moon, who outplayed Friesz in Seattle's first three exhibition games, passed 17 yards to tight end Deems May for a touchdown and a 31-10 lead with 3:33 left in the first half. He was
With third-stringer Jon Kitna at quarterback, Seattle got two touchdowns in the second half — on an 11-yard run by Steve Broussard in the third quarter, and a 1-year sneak by Kitna in the fourth period.
Kitna was 8-for-8 for 116 yards, all in the third quarter. For the preseason, he's 28-for-32 with four touchdown passes and one TD run.

Dodgers retire former manager Tommy Lasorda's uniform number
Honor comes weeks after Hall induction
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — The familiar No. 2 worn by Tommy Lasorda between 1977 and 1996 will never be.
other than the former Los Angeles Dodgers manager.
Lasorda became the ninth man in franchise history to have his number retired when the Dodgers did so in a 31-minute ceremony before a cheering crowd of 46,711 at Dodger Stadium.
"Tonight, we give you the greatest possible compliment by the Dodgers," team owner Peter O'Malley told Lasonda before the Dodgers lost to the Cincinnati Reds 5-3.
Among others who spoke were longtime announcer Vin Scully.
general manager Fred Claire, current manager Bill Russell, Hall of Fame umpire Doug Harvey, former Cincinnati and Detroit manager Sparky Anderson and former shortstop Pee Wee Reese.
"Tonight is one of the most prestigious nights of my life," Lasorda said. "I never got a base hit, I never hit a home run, I never struck anybody out. Whatever success I achieved as manager of the Dodgers became a reality because of the contributions of our players. They are the ones who put me in the Hall of Fame. They are the ones who made it possible for my number to be retired tonight."
"I've only played for two managers here in Los Angeles — Walter Alston and Tom Lasorda," Russell said. "Tommy, it was only a matter of time before you made the Hall of Fame. I'm just glad I was a small part of your success, and I just hope to keep the tradition going."
There were also video-taped messages shown from former Dodgers stars Fernando Valenzuela and Kirk Gibson.
In March, Lasorda was elected to the
Tommy I remember
Tommy Lasorda
male of fame by the veterans com-
mittee, and was inducted at Coopers-
town, N.Y., on Aug. 3. He managed
the Dodgers for 19 1/2
seasons before retiring July 29,
1996 because of health concerns.
Lasorda, who turns 70 next month, is completing his 48th year in the Dodger organization. Following his retirement as manager, he was named a team vice president.
The Dodgers won 1,599 games, two World Series, four NL pennants and eight division titles under
Lasorda, who succeeded Alston, another Hall of Famer, following the 1976 season. Alston managed the team for 23 years.
Lasorda and Alston (No.24) are the only two former managers to have their numbers retired by the Dodgers.
The Dodgers have also retired the numbers of seven players — Reese (1); Duke Snider (4); Jim Gilliam (19); Sandy Koufax (32); Roy Campanella (39); Jackie Robinson (42), and Don Drysdale (53). All are in the Hall of Fame except Gilliam.
"There's nothing like the Hall of Fame, but this is a special thing for me because nobody will ever wear that uniform number again." Lasorda said earlier this week. "When you stop and think of all the people who have worn the uniform of the Dodgers over the years, it's quite an honor that they think enough of me."
Nerve injury may end pitcher's career
McDowell intends to make comeback despite prognosis
The Associated Press
CLEVE兰德 — Jack McDowell stood tall on the mound, chest heaving and right arm twitching at his side, full of energy and innings and nasty split-fingered fastballs.
McDowell hasn't launched into his windup in months. The 1993 AL Cy Young Award winner said that his season was over, and doctors told him a rare elbow injury made his future in pitching uncertain.
"It scares me that no one can tell me anything about it," said McDowell, the Cleveland Indians pitcher who was diagnosed with nerve damage in his elbow. "You've got the best people in the world, and they
say they've never seen anything like it and can't give me any answers."
McDowell suffered several setbacks in trying to come back from minor surgery on his right elbow in May — the first operation of his nine-year career.
The latest problem, which befuddled some of sports' best doctors, forced him to do something he rarely did on the mound — throw in the towel.
McDowell has likely thrown his last pitch for the Indians, who are not expected to exercise his $4.8 million option for 1998. Renowned orthopedic surgeons James Andrews and Frank Jobe studied McDowell's test results and couldn't even tell the 31-year-old right-hander when he could pitch again.
"I know how I felt throwing," McDowell said. "I'll be back pitching. That won't be a problem."
McDowell had a piece of soft tissue removed from his right elbow
"I'll be back pitching. That won't be a problem."
Jack McDowell Cleveland pitcher
on May 20. The procedure by Andrews, who operates on thousands of top athletes, was expected to keep the pitcher out for about four weeks.
"They told me it was the least invasive surgery they've ever done on a pitcher," said McDowell, 3-3 with a 5.09 ERA in only 40 2/3 innings for the Indians this year.
team doctors a muscle on the outside of his elbow that was shrinking. Additional tests revealed nerve damage in the muscle doctors penetrated to remove the tissue from the elbow.
This week, McDowell showed
"That's the muscle they've gone through on thousands and thousands of pitchers and never had a problem whatsoever," McDowell said.
"I'm probably not going to stick around here," said McDowell, who gets a $550,000 buyout if the Indians don't exercise his option. "I haven't been much luck around here."
His manager had nothing but good things to say.
McDowell said he planned to return home to Van Nuys, Calif., and get ready to audition for another team this winter.

Detroit took a 3-0 lead in the first when Brian Hunter doubled, Bobby Higginson singled, Fryman hit a two-run single and Easley hit an RBI groundout.
Bip Roberts hit an RBI single in the third, but Detroit made it 6-1 in the bottom half. Higginson tripled and scored when second baseman Jay Bell misplayed Fryman's RBI grounder for an error. Easley added a two-run double.
Blue Jays 10, Indians 5
CLEVELAND—Roger Clemens struck out 11 in his 19th victory as the Toronto Blue Jays snapped Cleveland's four-game winning streak with a 10-5 victory against the Indians yesterday.
Clemens (19-4), who leads the majors in wins and is second in ERA, moved one victory away from his fourth 20-win season and first since 1990 as he bids for his fourth Cv Yount Award.
It was Clemens' third straight double-digit strikeout game, 11th this season and 79th of his career. His ERA went from 1.66 to 1.78, still tops in the AL but second in the majors to Montreal's Pedro Martinez (1.70)

Mariners 5, White Sox 3, 1st game
CHICAGO — Ken Griffey Jr. hit his 39th and 40th home runs yesterday to take the major-league lead, sending the Seattle Mariners to a 5-3 victory
against the Chicago White Sox in the first game of a doubleheader.

Griffey reached the 40-homer plateau for the fourth time in his career, and passed New York's Tino Martinez with his solo homer in the ninth.
It was the third multi-homer game this season for Griffev.
his first since April 25 — a three homer-game — against Toronto, and the 24th of his career.
Griffey homered to left-center field with one out in the first off Jaime Navarro (9-10), driving in Joey Cora who had doubled to put Seattle ahead 2-0. He homered off Chuck McEilroy in the ninth, singled and doubled as the Mariners won their third straight.

BALTIMORE — Lenny Webster singled in the winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning yesterday as the Baltimore Orioles once again rallied to beat the Anaheim Angels. 5-4.
Aaron Ledesma hit his first major-league home run and Rafael Palmeiro had his 25th of the season for the Orioles, who moved a season-high 33 games better than .500 with their 15th win in 20 games.
Tim Salmon had three hits and an RBI and Rickey Henderson drove in two runs for Anaheim, which lost leads of 3-1 and 4-3 less than 24 hours after blowing a six-run cushion in a 10-9 loss.
Baltimore, which has won seven straight extra-raining games, leads second-place New York by 4 1/2 games in the AL East.
Yankees 8. Rangers 0
NEW YORK — After David Cone removed himself in the second inning with a tight right shoulder, Ramiro Mendoza pitched six innings of two-hit relief to lead the New York Yankees to an 8-0 victory against the Texas Rang-
Mendoza (5-5), the loser in Saturday's game, combined with Kenny Rogers on a three-hitter. Rogers, who left his last start on Aug. 10 after three innings with a tight upper back, struck out five in the final two innings.
Yanrees
Cone, who missed most of last season after surgery to repair an aneurysm in the same shoulder, threw 21 pitches in the first. He made several warmup tosses before the second but stopped and walked into the Yankees' dugout.
DENVER — Dante Bichette's bases-clearing double highlighted a four-run sixth inning as the Colorado Rockies beat New York 6-4 on yesterday to complete a three-game sweep of the Mets.
NATIONAL LEAGUE
Rockies 6. Mets 4
Mets
Colorado starter John Thomson (5-7) pitched six innings for his second win against New York in 11 days. He gave up three earned runs, walked four and struck out one.
Jerry Dipoto pitched the ninth for his eighth save.
The Mets, chasing Florida in the wild-card race, lost for the seventh time in nine games.
Trailing 3-1 in the fifth, the Rockies broke through against Mets starter Dave Mlicki (5-10), who has just one win in his last 10 starts.
Cruising up to that point, Mlicki gave up one out singles to Thomson and Eric Young and a two-out walk to Larry Walker. Bichette followed with his bases-clearing double and scored on Ellis Burks' single.
HOUSTON — Billy Brewer walked in the
ting and go-ahead runs in the seventh inning
Astros 11. Phillies 6
yesterday as the Houston Astros beat Philadelphia 11-6 and stopped the Phillies' six-game winning streak.
With Philadelphia ahead 6-5, the Astros loaded the bases in the seventh off Wayne Gomes (2-1).
Brewer retired Luis Gonzalez on a popup, then walked Ricky Gutierrez on a 3-2 pitch and Tim Bogar on four pitches.
James Mouton singled off Brewer's glove for a 8-6 lead, and Houston added three runs in the eighth on an RBI single by Gutierrez and a two-run single by Mouton off Jerry Spradlin.
Tom Martin (5-3) won despite allowing a two-run single to Mike Lieberthal in the seventh that wasted a 5-4 lead. Russ Springer got six outs for his second save.
Derek Bell had four hits, including two doubles, in sending the Phillies to just their fourth loss in 15 games.
Gregg Jefferies of the Phillies left the game in the seventh with a strained left hamstring after sliding into second on a double steal. Philadelphia starter Garrett Stephenson left after two innings because of a tight right forearm.
Chuck Carr left in the top of the seventh complaining of a strained right side and was listed day-to-day.
Slade, Patriots defeat Denver
Reserve quarterback feels pain,not Elway
The Associated Press
Compiled from The Associated Press.
With John Elway watching from the safety of the Broncos sidelines, the Patriots sacked Lewis four times in the first half, three by Slade, and won yesterday's exhibition match of two of the AFC's top teams, 31-21.
FOXBORO, Mass. — Chris Slade and the New England defense showed Denver quarterback Jeff Lewis that getting more playing time has its drawbacks.
Meanwhile, New England quarterback Drew Bledsoe wasn't sacked and threw touchdown passes of 1 yard to Ben Coates and 17 yards to Vincent Brisby.
PAC-10
Elway missed his second consecutive game with a ruptured right biceps tendon as a precaution after a strong week of practice. It was a wise move against the defending AFC champs.
He sacked Lewis twice before his biggest hit of the game. With a second-and-14 at the Broncos 7-yard line, Slade raced in untouched from the right side and hit the unsuspecting quarterback to force a fumble. Slade dove on the ball in the end zone for a touchdown with 3:46 left in the half. Adam Vinatieri's kick made the score 14-0.
The Patriots (2-1) had allowed just one touchdown in their first two games and teed off on Lewis. Mark Wheeler sacked him on Denver's second offensive play, then Slade took over.
That wasn't the only punishment the Broncos (22) absorbed
ment the bruises on linebacker

Allen Aldridge left the game
twice in the first half after bruising his left knee and taking a blow to the head. Tight end Shannon Sharpe didn't return after twisting his ankle in the first half.
And cornerback Selwyn Jones suffered an apparent knee injury
covering Terry Glenn on a long completion.
But it wasn't all bad for Denver.
* Dedrick Dodge raced in front of Bledsoe's pass to Brisby in the flat and raced 53 yards down the right sideline for a touchdown on the first series of the second half.
Jason Elam's kick made the score 17-7.
And Bubby Brister, who replaced Lewis in the third quarter, threw scoring passes of 5 and 3 vards to Willie Green.
But New England already had taken a 24-7 lead on Bledsoe's 17-yarder to Brisby after Dodge's touchdown. Bledsoe's scoring pass to Coates had broken a scoreless tie with 5:06 left in the first half.
The Patriots passing game didn't drop off after Scott Zolak took over for Bledsoe on their second series of the second half. He led Dietrich Jells perfectly for a 46-yard completion that set up his 6-yard scoring pass to Kantroy Barber for a 34-14 lead.
Bledsoe completed 14-of-25 passes for 175 yards, while Lewis, Denver's fourth-round draft pick last year, finished 11-of-18 for 111.
The Patriots started the day hoping to shut down the Denver running game that had produced 198 yards in a 34-8 regular-season win in Foxboro Stadium last year.
But Denver's run defense was better as the Broncos outrushed the Patriots 117 vards to 41.
The Patriots had the edge in the kicking game. Vinatieri, 5-for-5 on field goal attempts, made a 25-yarder 37 seconds before intermission. Elam missed attempts from 44 and 49 yards. The Patriots have allowed just one field goal on seven attempts in the exhibition season.

Daly finishes PGA on a rough note
Golfer argues with tour official
The Associated Press
MAMARONECK, N.Y. — John Daly's rocky return to major championship golf took another bumpy twist Saturday when he engaged in a sharp verbal exchange with a rules official in the final round of the PGA.
The tense confrontation came one day after Daly tossed his driver over a fence on the 12th hole after a wild tee shot.
Daly, trying to drive the 324-yard sixth green, hit an extreme hook that ended up behind a rain shelter near the seventh tee Saturday. He had an angle to the green, but his line of sight to the pin was obstructed.
A PGA Championship rules official was called in, but Daly was denied relief because the shelter was an immovable obstruction.
Daly asked to appeal to a PGA Tour official but was denied.
"I had something like this at Hartford and got a drop," Daly said to PGA Championship rules official Ed Hoard.
"You guys are making differentrulings every day. This is ridiculous."
Daly hit a flip shot from the rough short of the green, then chipped up and missed his putt and made a bogey.
Hoard used his radio to contact PGA Tour rules official Mike Shea before denying Daly's request for an
appeal.
"Mike Shea is not coming," Hoard told Daly. "I am chairman of the rules committee for this tournament."
Daly finished the front nine with a 36 and was 7 over par for the tournament. Leaders Justin Leonard and Davis Love III started the final round at 7 under par.
The PGA Championship is run by the PGA of America and not the PGA Tour, which has jurisdiction of all but the major championship events — the Masters, U.S. Open, British Open and PGA.
"A PGA Tour official can not get involved in a ruling unless he is a member of the rules committee for the PGA Championship," PGA of America official Terry McSweeney said.
He started the PGA with a 66 , stayed in contention with a 73, then fell out with a 77 when he was spraying his tee shots wildly.
Daly, continuing a return from his second stay in an alcohol rehabilitation center, was playing in his first major championship since walking off the course after nine holes of the second round at the U.S. Open.
Daly made a double bogey on the sixth hole in the third round when he tried to drive the green and missed it in the right rough, dumped his next shot into the bunker, blasted out and three putted.
Most players use an iron off the tee on No. 6 and then go at the green with a full sand wedge shot they could spin into the difficult green.
Seles advances to final
Top seed seeks third du Maurier title
The Associated Press
"I played well but I also had spurs of terrible play when she started playing well," Seles said. "When I needed, I made some great shots."
Seles, the top seed, dropped the opening game to the upstart Spaniard and had the late-arriving crowd in doubt. But Seles broke Martinez the next game, climbing back from a 15-40 deficit, and took a 5-1 lead en route to a 6-2, 7-6 (8-6) victory.
TORONTO — Her game may have arrived fashionably late, but when Monica Seles decided to dispatch Cecchita Martinez in the du Maurier Open semifinal, she did it with style.
Martinez beat Seles three weeks ago for the first time in 12 tries, and said the key was to remain aggressive.
On the road to her third du Maurier final — aiming to be the first to win three consecutive titles — Seles has shown a penchant for going into corners and keeping her foes on the run.
"I started out real good (last time), but it took me longer to get into the match," Martinez said. "I came close in the second set, and in the third,
you never know."
In the other semifinal, Anke Huber qualified for her first du Maurier final when Mary Joe Fernandez withdrew after losing the second set.
I will do my best to ensure you have a positive experience.
Monica Seles
Fernandez won the opening set but dropped the next one to Huber, who came back in the quarterfinal against South Africa's Amanda Coetzer.
After a visit from her trainer, Fernandez had one eye on her right wrist and the other on the U.S. Open, only a week away, and called it quits, which means she also forfeited her doubles quarterfinal with partner Arantxa Sanchez Vicario.
Fernandez cited a recurring tendinitis problem that grew worse as the week grew older at York University's National Tennis Center.
"I didn't think her injury was going to be that bad," Huber said. "She was hitting quite well; it's a pity."
"I started a bit slow but my serve was already a little bit better by the end of the first set. It was hard for me to get into the match, but I played better once I found my rhythm.
Golf with Woods full of possibilities
Chances taken add excitement
The Associated Press
By Jim Litke
MAMARONECK, N.Y. — For sheer excitement, he is still your man.
Nobody is talking Grand Slam any more, the way they did after the kid smoked the field at the Masters by a dozen strokes. But Tiger Woods can still raise a fuss on any golf course, anytime, anywhere.
Because he never, ever does anything — cue Tina Turner here — nice and easy.
Woods shot a second round of even-par 70 at the PGA Championship. That was good enough to make it into the weekend, but too far down the leaderboard to make the Lees, Davises and Costantinos perched near the top lie awake.
The second round featured not just chances, but enough chills and spills to make some golfers' week. At the first, a 446-yard, par-4, Woods hit 3-wood and maybe wedge to a foot. One under. At the second, a 411-yard, par-4, it was 2-iron and maybe wedge again to 4 feet. Two under. Then the real fun began.
Hero shots are rarely smart shots, but when you're 21 and the world is alive with all kinds of possibilities, there is plenty of time to be smart. And so, at No. 3, after pulling an iron left into the spinach 50 feet from the pin, Woods tried not one, but two heroes shots. The first, a full-swing flop shot, only got as far as the light spinach on the collar of the other side of the green. The second, a putt with a 3-wood that he fully expected to make, left Woods to clean up a 4-footer coming back just to save bogey.
On the very next hole, Woods drove the ball into the right rough. But instead of the conservative play back to the fairway, he took a vicious rip with an 7-iron from 168 yards. He dislodged a divot the size of Long Island before the ball came to rest 15 feet from the cup.
Chastened?
Not.
So it went all the way around. Plenty of people inside the game shake their heads when Woods turns holes into adventures, but his galleries can't get enough of it.
OPINION
Because of a grandstand erected alongside the 11th green, after putting out, the players head for the No. 12 tee while their caddies take a
shortcut through the crowd to make their way down the fairway. So well-known is Woods' caddle, Fluff Cowan, that he needed his own police escort to get there. So big was the gallery by that point that Woods' own mother had no idea whether her son was still on the tee.
"Fluff," she called out from behind the ropes, "has he hit vet?"
"Yeah," the caddie grunted,
"left rough."
And with that, Cowan stubbed out a cigarette, swung the bag around and took off in pursuit of his man. As it turned out, there was no need to hurry.
No. 12 is a par-5, 540 yards,
and Woods still had at least
230 yards to negotiate. He had
a good lie in the rough, but a
stand of trees 40 yards in
front of him and all along the
left side. He also had mischievous smile on his face.
On Thursday, Woods made double-bogey at the hole attempting a different kind of hero shot. But he was clearly considering trying another. First he asked Cowan where the pin was positioned on a green he couldn't see. Then, when he motioned in the direction of a marshall, there were mischievous smiles all around.
Assured that it was, Woods went through his checklist one more time, but scrubbed the mission at the last moment. Instead, he lofted an 8-iron over the trees, hit sand wedge onto the green and left the birdie putt hanging on the lip. After all that, it was just another one of those chances he failed to cash in.
"John," the marshall whispered into a walkie-talkie, "is the green clear up ahead?"
"The important thing," Woods stressed again, "is to keep giving myself chances."
With chances come possibilities, and with possibilities come huge crowds. This being New York, Woods' crowd also contained a sprinkling of celebrities. Heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield, in town to promote a TV replay of his last title fight against Mike Tyson, came out to Winged Foot to meet Woods before his round, and Miss Universe stood alongside the clubhouse after the round hoping to do the same thing.
The first time he breezed by, on his way to the scorer's tent, Woods didn't so much glance in her direction. We can only assume Mr. Universe had had enough excitement for one day.

Welcome to Templin!
Kenneth Stoner, director of student housing, takes you on a tour:
SECTION C
Kenneth Stoner
Every room has a snack-preparation area with a sink and enough space for a microwave and a small refrigerator. Also provided is room for dishes, utensils and other amenities.
The provided furniture in the suites of Templin include a bunk bed, 5-drawer dresser, desks and chairs for every resident. Cable, data circuit and telephone connection is available in each suite.
---
Templin is a good housing model for 36 years, but styles are different now. For example, instead of flat chairs, suites include two-position chairs so students can rock and relieve stress without stressing the chairs.
The 2- and 4-person suites have sleeping rooms with a bunk bed and an adjoining common room. The suites also have private bathrooms off the common room.

University housing turns a new corner
By Daniel Ethan Thompson
Kansan staff writer
There's a magic mirror on top of Daisy Hill between Templein and Lewis Halls. The mirror reflects the difference between two formerly identical residence halls. Lewis remains unchanged, but Templin has been reborn.
The 37-year-old residence hall completed its $4.73 million renovation this summer, said Kenneth Stoner, director of the department of student housing. He said that although Templin and Lewis were identical architecturally, by looking back and forth, you can see the changes.
One of the changes gives residents of Templin a choice between suites for one, two or four students.
Residence hall employees are enthusiastic about the new living arrangements.
"Templin is a nice mixture," said Nick Walker, Wichita senior and a resident assistant in Templin. "It's apartment-style living in a residence hall."
The 2- and 4-person suites have sleeping rooms with a bunk bed and an adjoining common room. The suites also have private bathrooms off the common room.
Stoner said the changes showed student's shifting expectations for on-campus living.
"My generation is used to sharing," Stoner said. "I'm from a family of six. We
had one bathroom."
In the new Templin, a resident will have to share a bathroom with at most three other people.
"I don't like sharing a bathroom with 30 to 40 other people," Walker said.
But Stoner said some students are happy living in residence halls that have not remodeled into suites. He said Templin did not reflect a new trend in student housing.
"We're just turning a corner," he said.
We're just turning a corner.
The turn brings ethernet and telephone outlets to every room, each capable of being split into four lines. Stoner said.
"I can't imagine they'd use it this way ever, but it's possible all four students could be on the Internet and on the phone simultaneously," he said.
Each suite also has a cable outlet. Basic cable is free, and Sunflower Cablevision will offer premium channels for a fee, Stoner said.
Each resident has about one-third more space than residents of the old Templin. But the extra space has lowered capacity from slightly more than 400 residents to 280 residents.
Every room has a snack-preparation area with a sink and enough space for a microwave and a small refrigerator, Stoner said. Shelf space also provides room for dishes and utensils.
"People coming to college expect those things." he said.
When Templin shut down in the spring of
1996, there were 180 residents.
"There's a difference in what it could have held and what it was holding," Stoner said. "We feel like we've gained occupancy."
But the price to live at Templin is higher than other residence halls. This year, a 2-or 4-person suite costs $4,700 per person. Lewis Hall costs $3,736 per person for a double-occupancy room.
"Students talk with their feet," he said. "We knew they wanted more space and privacy when they started renting double rooms by themselves."
Stoner said other structural changes were made in the building.
New windows were installed that slide instead of roll out. Templin also has a new roof, and the bricks were power-cleaned and sealed, he said.
"Cinder blocks were a real neat experience," Walker said. "The idea was to cover the walls with posters."
Cinder blocks walls that used to divide rooms in the hall were removed and replaced with dry wall. Cinder blocks that composed the exterior walls are now covered with a layer of insulation and dry wall, adding to the building's energy efficiency, Stoner said.
I
Stoner said Templin had been a good housing model for 36 years, but that styles had changed.
"It's a different world," he said. "And who knows 30 years from now."

Groups list awareness members as fall priority
Cultural activities include conferences select guest speakers
By Tom Winter
Kansan staff writer
Television and film star Edward James Olmos will be coming to the University of Kansas on October 16.
The event, sponsored by the Hispanic American Leadership Organization (HALO), is part of Hispanic Heritage Month, said Gloria Flores. HALO sponsor.
Hispanic Heritage Month will kick off at 4 p.m. Sept. 14 at Holcom Park, 2700 W. 27th St., and will continue until Oct. 29.
Almos' arrival is one of many activities planned for the month. A leadership retreat is planned for October 9 through 12 in Chicago, Ill.
Some of the other activities scheduled are a Mariachi band on October 3, a HALO reception on October 6 and a dance on October 18. All three events will be held in the Kansas Union.
"Hispanic Heritage Month is the big event which HALO plans. We've been spending a lot of time putting it together." Flores said.
But HALO isn't the only organization planning for the fall. The Black Student Union also has a number of events scheduled.
A welcome-back swim party will be held Aug. 30 at the Lawrence Aquatic Center, 727 Kentucky St., said Eva Bradley, BSU president.
"We are looking to improve our relationship with students and other organizations on campus this year." Bradley said.
The organization has seven members, but leaders are hoping to recruit more.
Other BSU fall events are the Def Comedy Jam in September, a guest speaker in November and a Miss Black Kansas pageant in November. Details about these programs have not been determined.
The group also will start a tutoring program with Black Panhellenic.
"I want BSU to be seen as a strong academic organization out to do good on campus," Bradley said.
Nellie Kim, external vice president of the Asian American Student Union, also is getting her organization ready for the fall.
"Our main focus for the fall is to get more members." Kim said.
The Asian American Student Union now has about 100 members with Middle and Far East Asian backgrounds.
"It is very much an eye-opening experience," Kim said. "We try to get people aware of the fact that we are not the quiet Asians which we are so often stereotyped as."
The Asian American Student Union also will coordinate leadership conference for Asian-American high school students later in the year.
Budig Hall ready and waiting
Advanced technology enhances auditoria
By Daniel Ethan Thompson Kansan staff writer
Budig Hall has set down on the ashes of Hoch Auditorium, and people are coursing through its halls.
But this time, the historic structure seems more like the Starship Enterprise than the place where Phog Allen coached and thousands of students slept through chemistry classes.
The self-professed chief of engineering, James Vaguir, director of Hoch complex, has been hard at work getting the technology ready for lift-off.
The mother ship has landed.
"Are there going to be glitches?" he said.
"Let's put it this way, I'll make my salary in the first two days."
The building cost $22 million and incorporates the facade of Hoch Auditorium, which was built in 1927 but was gutted by fire in 1991.
"Students will be impressed by that 85 percent." he said.
But even with the expected problems, Vequist said he thought that the complex would be 85 percent operational when it opened for classes.
The construction gave University officials an opportunity to design new facilities including three lecture halls with state-of-the-art equipment.
The technologies are classified by Vequist into transitional technologies and cutting-edge technologies that can be controlled from a central room between the lecture halls. Transitional technology will allow instructors to use the lecture halls while learning how to operate the new equipment.
"It is as technologically advanced as we were able to afford," said Richard Givens, assistant provost.
Top-art, or presentation, cameras, are some of the most important changes, Vequst said. It is a side and top-lit board about the size of a newspaper page with a camera attached. An instructor can use this in place of a handout, overhead, or passing an object around the room.
If an instructor is used to using slides, they can bring in their regular tray, Veqstul said. The difference is, in the control room, those slides will be converted to video and rear-projected onto on of the screens, he said.
"An object the size of a watch or a quarter can be projected on a 14-foot screen," he said. And there are three screens in each auditorium.
Vequist also said the three screens in each auditorium could be used independently.
Each auditorium has an instructor camera, Vequist said, and can have a floor camera on a tripod, which could follow the instructor around the room, or project another angle of a demonstration.
"You could have slides on one screen, notes on another, and since it's a big auditorium, your face on the third," he said.
Vequist said other transitional technologies were: dual operating platform and internet connection, direct lap-top plug-in ability, two-way video that could allow an instructor to have a live-event in the classroom and audio/video laser disc.

The cutting-edge technologies are fiber optics, file-sharing, and scan doubling.
The restored Hoch auditorium is open for classes this fall. It provides students with advanced multi-media learning equipment.
"It will be very movie-like," Vequist said.
Veuistur has kept the scan doubling secret until now. It is a technology that will make the 14-foot screens look more like computer screens.

Commuting students raise questions of travel
University organizations provide information for Lawrence-bound drivers
By Graham K. Johnson Kansan staff writer
Beverly Chang wouldn't commute 35 miles to school every day if she could afford to live in Lawrence again.
"I wouldn't do it if I were a freshman, but I am trying to save money," said Chang, a second-year law student, who lives with her parents in Overland Park.
Chang is part of a growing number of KU students who commute to school. While their reasons for commuting vary, these students share similar concerns and experiences.
According to Housing Department reports, 1,733 students, or 7.5 percent of the student body, commuted to school in the fall of 1996.
Bob Nunley, professor of geography, who has studied Lawrence extensively, said this percentage had grown from less than five percent when he first arrived in 1962.
"If you look at the total increase in the last 35 years, you find a slight increase every year," Nunley said.
The reasons for this increase vary among individuals, but there are general patterns.
Chang cited the cost of housing in Lawrence as her main reason for commuting.
"I don't have to pay rent living in my parents' house," Chang said.
However, people commute for other reasons. Shawna Rosen, a computer systems specialist with the University Affiliated Program, has commuted since her student days at the University. Rosen said her decision to live in Kansas City was more a choice than a necessity.
"Everything I want to do is in Kansas City," Rosen said. "I suppose if I ever get tired of the commute then maybe I'll get another job."
Despite their differing motives for commuting, most commuters share similar experiences and problems. Chief among these is the cost and drudgery of the long daily drives.
"That's why I am trying to car-pool," Chang said, referring to her daily 70-mile round trip.
Both Chang and Rosen said that, even with the help
Student assistance
The Student Assistance Center refers commuters to services on and off campus:
A commuter board in the Kansas Union lists the names of others seeking to car-pool.
A program in Kansas City called Ride Share helps coordinate car pools for Kansas City residents.
A phone number is available to Kansas City residents, allowing students to call the Lawrence campus toll-free.
OAKS, a nontraditional students organization, offers services for its commuter members. Information is available in the OAKS office in the Kansas Union.
of the commuter board in the Kansas Union, they were having trouble finding people who would share a ride.
Neither was aware that the Student Assistance Center, which established the board to help commuters, has other information and forms of assistance available in its office.
"We try to make sure that commuters have information on the various programs that they can take advantage of," said Marshall Jackson, administrative associate at the SAC.
Jan Bosco, an Organization of Adult Knowledge Seekers board member, said commuters are a significant portion of that organization. Bosco said OAKS tried to offer as much help as possible to their members, ranging from commuter lists to special luncheons where commuters may meet one another.
"That's what commuters really need. They need to know that there are other people like them out there," said Bosco.
In addition to car-pooling problems, Bosco said commuters have trouble dealing with the long days. Commuters often have hours between classes and no place to go. She encouraged commuters to come to the OAKS office in the Union to rest or to use the office computer for studying during breaks.
"That's what the OAKS office is for," Bosco said.
If the number of student commuters grows, as Nunley suggest it will, there will continue to be students with these special needs and a need for programs to help them.
However, this doesn't mean the University is likely to become a university of commuters. Nunley said students would still prefer to live in Lawrence.
"Most of our student body will remain a residential student body for a long time," Nunley said. "We are clearly not a sidewalk college."

Once a Jayhawk, always a Jayhawk.

Recent poll shows graduates are happy with college choice
The survey rated student satisfaction in overall quality of education, level of challenge experienced in major courses, instructor availability, career and educational plans, student services, and academic experiences.
It has been conducted five times since 1977 and originally was developed to determine the level of student satisfaction with the college experience.
That's how almost 87 percent of the 1996 University of Kansas graduates responded when asked if they would choose the University again.
Overall, 1996 graduates gave the University high marks because of intellectually challenging instructors, the opportunity to meet diverse groups of people, and extracurricular opportunities at the University.
Students also said they would choose the University again for its affordability, the selection of major courses of study, and the general atmosphere of the school and Lawrence.
In a recently released survey conducted by the Office of Institutional Research and Planning during the spring of 1996, nearly 77 percent also said they were satisfied or very satisfied with their education at the University.
Although respondents to the survey gave the University high marks in some categories, there remained room for improvement in others.
Topping the KU report card was the graduates' rating of how well they understood a particular field of knowledge. Almost 91 percent said they had made considerable progress in that area.
However, less than three-fourths of the students indicated they were adequately prepared for employment. Ninety-three percent said they felt preparation for employment was an important goal. However, only about 71 percent said they had made significant progress toward that goal.
"The senior survey assists KU faculty and administrators in better understanding the perspective and concerns of students." David Shulenburger Provost

Many students also indicated that they had made very little progress in becoming aware of and appreciating cultural events. That was, however, the goal respondents considered least important.
Development of personal values was the graduates' most important goal. About 96 percent of respondents rated it as very important.
Faculty advising and student services were significant areas where students indicated improvements could be made. Respondents said that they were the least satisfied with the following points and gave them either a neutral, unsatisfied, or very unsatisfied rating:
- the helpfulness of their advisors in resolving academic questions 54%
computer availability and access to them on campus 65%
Senior survey
Among the survey responses:
76 percent said they were satisfied with the intellectual challenge offered by courses in their first major field of study
68 percent said they were satisfied with course availability in their major fields of study.
84 percent said they had progressed in understanding and relating to people and their views
PLAY IT AGAIN SPORTS
88 percent said they had progressed in developing personal values
84 percent said they had progressed in understanding concepts from several broad areas of learning
campus recreational facilities and equipment 44%
Also, statistics collected since 1977 indicate that students' satisfaction with employment services, job placement services, and the University orientation program has declined.
Even though respondents to the survey rated student financial aid services higher in 1996 than in 1995, the department's rating is still below 1897 levels.
Residence and scholarship hall services didn't fare well either. They received a 45-percent satisfaction rating, and the number of respondents using the services decreased by 12 percent since 1993.
The results of the survey are used to make future administrative decisions.
"The senior survey assists KU faculty and administrators in better understanding the perspective and concerns of students," Provost David Shulenburger said. "Ultimately, it helps us better meet student needs."
a total of 958 students, or 47 percent of the 2,044 polled, responded to the 140-question written survey.

Local businesses cash in on students' return to Lawrence

Cars, shoppers and business people crowd downtown Massachusetts Street on a warm summer day. The return of students each fall brings an estimated 30,000 clients back to the town.
Restaurants, stores open doors and cash registers to returning population
For area businesses, back to school means more than classes and books. It means a 30,000-person increase in potential clientele.

Kansan staff writer
"We try to do things that will bring students into the store," said Chris Zwiener, guest service manager for Hastings Books, Music and Video in the Southwest Plaza at 23rd and Iowa. "A lot of students have late fines from the spring. We don't want them to stay away from the store, so we offer specials that will allow students to receive credit for their late fines."
Alison Sherrill, St. Louis senior, said the inexpensive rates and wide selection drew her to Hastings.
"I usually rent my movies from Dillons just because it is closer," Shelby said. "Hastings has a great selection, but it is just too far away."
"They have such a wide range of movies," she said. "You can find the newest release or the classic favorite. It is all right there."
For other businesses, the change in clientele is not in their numbers but in their ages.
However, Stanton Shelby, Wichita senior, said location was an overriding factor when he chose where to rent
"During the summer, we see more of the older crowd who don't want to come in during the school year

because it is too crowded," said Matthew McCarty, bar manager at Quinton's Bar and Deli, 615 Massachusetts St.
Sherrill said that Quinton's was one of her favorite bars because they had good food, good drinks, and a down-to-earth, college atmosphere.
"Most of our employees are college students, so it brings everything to the same level, and students enjoy hanging out here," McCarty said.
Scott Renzue, Wichita senior, said he mostly avoided bars, but liked bars where he could relax.
"I'm not into the bar scene all that much," Renze said. "There always seems to be so much attitude in most of the bars. I want a place that is laid-back and a place where I can hang out with my friends and have a good time."
The challenge for most area businesses is knowing how to create an atmosphere in which students will want to spend their time and money.
Brenda Peterson, manager of Hair Experts Design Team, 2100 W. 25th St., said she saw some difference when the students left for summer.
Peterson said the atmosphere of her salon lured most of her clientele.
They always have coupons and specials that make things affordable," she said. "Plus, I really like mv stylist."
Mattress Sets 9995
Sherrill, St. Louis senior, said that she had been going to the salon for about two years.
"It is a whole bunch of little things put together. We have a modern atmosphere, and we want our clients to feel at ease and relaxed." Peterson said.
"You can just tell that they really enjoy our business and that they want us in their store," he said. "It is really great to be so welcomed."
Renze, Wichita senior, said she was amazed at how student-friendly most of the area businesses had become.

Picking up the pieces left by depression
Keys to survival include support even medication
By Tim Harrington Special to the Kansan
The symptoms are different for everyone.
One 18-year-old KU student said, "Sometimes your face is soaking wet before you even realize you're crying. The tears just come without warning and usually without good reason."
Another student said, "You feel hopeless about yourself. You have no redeeming quality. I will always have a different viewpoint because of it."
A 1994 study found that as much as 17 percent of the American population is afflicted with depression, almost 45 million people.
Former KU student Kate Shaer described clinical depression as so encompassing that it becomes a physical pain, but the sufferer cannot identify the source. "Eventually I just pray for death." she said
The trend has grown steadily since the 1940s becoming a "depression epidemic", a phrase common throughout the mental health care community.
The University of Kansas is no different.
Linda Keeler, a psychiatrist in Counseling and Psychological Services, said about 85 percent of the students she treats have
depression and are prescribed antidepressants.
Conservatively, that's more than 500 cases of depression diagnosed at the University of Kansas each semester.
Depressed students must not only fight the stigma associated with mental illness but also must battle a condition that comes and goes, usually without warning. Clinical depression is physically and mentally debilitating.
"At first I start to notice my thoughts circling around darkness, and I start to think the worst possibility about everything," said Shaer, who graduated from the University of Kansas in 1992 at age 32.
"Thinking starts to become physical labor, and when you move it's like walking in water," said Shaer, who is the assistant director of the Kansas branch of the National Alliance of the Mentally Ill.
She describes depression as a hopeless feeling. "Whatever you're going to do will not measure up, so why even try?" Shaer said.
She remembered how difficult college could be for someone who is prone to depression. Symptoms are exacerbated by outside forces such as stress and poverty.
Shaer said she had gone through college without taking prescription antidepressants. After food, shelter and school expenses, Shaer could not afford $30 a month for medication, she said.
KU students might have some options, Keeler said.
"It all depends on the situation," Keeler said. "Usually we can find a
less expensive medication that can fit their budgets."
Medications such as Prozac, Zoofol and Paxil are the most commonly prescribed antidepressants. Those drugs treat depression by raising the level of the neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain, which helps elevate mood.
Before medication is prescribed, a student first must consult with a licensed clinical social worker, a clinical psychologist, a graduate student or a counseling psychologist at CAPS. The first visit is free, but subsequent consultations are $9.
A student may be advised to see one of the clinical psychiatrists. The initial evaluation will cost $60. Additional visits costs $24 or $60 depending on the length of the meeting.
If a student has no money for medication, the larger producers of antidepressants have indigent programs to make medication available to them, but the process can be long.
Taking prescription medication can be as difficult as obtaining it. College students often have odd eating and sleeping schedules that are not optimal for taking prescriptions. Students also may not understand the life change involved in taking some medications.
"I know if I were 18 and somebody said 'OK, here's a pill that you'll probably have to take for the rest of your life,' I would have said 'What?' Who can comprehend anything that will be for the rest of your life at only 18?" she asked.
NATURALWAY 820-822 Mass.841-0100
Shaer said she found that the side effects of Prozac were worse than her depression.
"I'd have these awful, vivid nightmares that were full of gore, and then I'd carry those emotions into the next day," she said.
Some find rising antidepressant use disturbing. The concern is that the use does not reflect widespread and serious mood disorders but rather society's need to solve problems with an easy-to-swallow capsule.

Holmes said. "Why someone would be on them when they don't need to be, I don't know."
Kate Sneeer
KU graduate and assistant director of Kansas branch of the National Alliance of the Mental Ill
Holmes said there was no recreational use for antidepressant drugs and that he had no problem with cosmetic pharmacology.
"If someone can have a nose-job or a bust-job, why shouldn't other people be able to have a neurotransmitter job?" Holmes said.
Shaer said that having a support network was an important part of treatment. A support network is a group of friends or family members that creates a positive environment in which the depressed person can talk about his or her problems without feeling stigmatized.
But depression can be fatal. Studies show that along with a depression diagnosis comes a 30 percent increase in the likelihood of suicide.
1983
Guilt often accompanies depression. And guilt makes the stigma more difficult to bear. Being labeled as a depressed person often means being treated as fragile or less intelligent.
"I'm here willing to admit that when I get sick, I need help. I don't need to be talked to like I'm six. I don't need to have my hand held and be explained that whole process. I've got an IQ of 167, you know," Saher said.
Shaer said people with mental illnesses need to be treated with courtesy, respect and dignity.

Depression touches as much as 17 percent of the American population, studies show. Depression in college students can be intensified by the stress of finances and schoolwork. Students who feel down or depressed should seek help and guidance from friends, family members or Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) on campus.

Jayhawks take to the road: plates soon will be available
By Daniel Ethan Thompson
Kansan staff writer
Contributed art
KANSAS
00
KU
Vouchers for Jayhawk license plates now are available for purchase by Kansas residents whose car or truck weighs less than 12,000 pounds. About $5 from the sale of each plate will go to an Alumni Association scholarship fund.
Watch the roads for Jayhawks. Kansas license plates soon may have the mythical bird on them.
In July, the University of Kansas Alumni Association began selling mascot-use vouchers that would be traded for Jayhawk license plates.
When a tag is renewed, the voucher can be taken to the county treasurer's office of the Department of Motor Vehicle Registration and redeemed for a license plate.
Last year, the Kansas Legislature passed an amendment to a 3-year-old law that allowed Board of Regents institutions to sell their mascots for use on state license plates. The old law prohibited the use of mascots on license plates, said Rep. David Adkins of Leawood, author of the amendment.
The tags feature a full-color Jayhawk on the left side. Numbers are randomly assigned and printed to the right of the bird.
She said proceeds from each plate would be about $5.
Kay Henry, senior vice-president of the Alumni Association, said the money left after administrative costs will be deposited into the Alumni Association's fund for the Rock Chalk Society for Academic Excellence in the Kansas University Endowment Association.
Adkins said he heard about license plate programs in other states and thought it would attract National Merit Scholars to the University.
With the new law, the University of Kansas can sell vouchers through the Alumni Association for up to $100. The fee must be paid annually. The plates are available to Kansas residents whose cars or trucks weigh less than 12,000 pounds.
"I thought it would be great to be able to spend money on scholarships and academic excellence without requiring expenditure on the state level." he said.
The most significant change between the law and its amendment is the amount of ordering time, Addkins said.
Jayhawk plates
There are several ways to order the official Jayhawk state license plates:
By mail: 1266 Oread Ave., Lawrence, Kan. 66044-3169. An application will be mailed to you.

By phone:(785) 864-4760 or (800) 854-2957.
On the internet. Send the application information by opening the site www.ukans.edu/~kalumni
The wait has been a problem.
The original bill required alumni associations to submit a list of applicants to the Department of Motor Vehicle Registration each year. Depending on renewal dates, an applicant may have waited 15 to 18 months for a tag.
Under the new bill, an applicant may give a voucher directly to the county treasurer when applying for a new tag or renewing tags. This allows approved applicants to
"That decreases the glamour," Adkins said. "Especially because I think many of the plates will be gifts."
receive a jayhawk tag at any time. Anyone may purchase a plate if they meet the requirements.
receive a Jayhawk tag at any time.
Henry said about 200 applications were requested within the first two days.
In addition to the $50 annual mascot- fee, a $45.50 vanity-tag fee must be paid to the county treasurer every five years.
"I think it will really take off when the news reaches outlying areas," she said.
Mike Elliott, Lawrence graduate student, said students might not be able to afford the tag.
John Powell, manager of Lawrence Municipal Court, said a police officer could cite drivers for an illegal tag if there was anything that didn't belong. The non-moving violation would be $25 in fines and $21.50 in court costs
"It's for a good cause," Elliott said.
"But I wouldn't buy one n·w. I would down the line, after I graduate and get a job."
Imitations of the Jayhawk license plate may not be legal.
Applicants will have to provide vehicle registration and the date of their tag renewal.

Lawrence adds restaurants to local menu
By Rebecca Osladil
Kansan staff writer
Several restaurants opened in Lawrence this summer, offering convenient locations and a wider food selection. More restaurants in Lawrence also are keeping their doors open later.
Juice Stop now has two locations in Lawrence. The first store, 3514 Clinton Parkway, opened last year. Juice Stop now has a second store at 812 Massachusetts St. The new store only serves carry-out but has a wider variety of fruit and vegetable drinks than the Clinton Parkway store.
Students will have more places to go on dates, get away from roommates or avoid the kitchen this year.
Jester's, 1105 Massachusetts St., is another new restaurant. Located in the building that was formerly Tin Pan Alley, the restaurant and bar is open 24 hours and has a full-service coffee shop.
Jeff Weisbender, Jester's general manager during the day, said a popular item on the menu was the Lush Rush buffet breakfast, which is served from 1 to 4 a.m.
Jester's has live music several nights a week, he said.
"It's a great place for people to go after hours to eat, play pool or darts, and listen to music," Weisbender said.
Milton's Coffee & Wine, 920 Massachusetts St. also opened

Campus crime on the decline
By Sean Patrick
Kansan staff reporter
The University of Kansas Lawrence campus is becoming a safer place, according to the University Awareness report.
According to the report, crimes have dropped nine percent on the Lawrence campus since 1994. This is the third consecutive year that the number of crimes reported to the KU police department has declined.
Sgt. Chris Keary of the KU police department said there were many reasons for the decline.
TPC-C
"We like to think that the police department is doing its job effectively," he said. "But we do realize that we are not in this alone. It is very important in crime prevention for the community to be involved."
The biggest decrease in reported crime was in the category of burglary, which is defined as unauthorized entry into a private area with the intent to commit a theft. Burglaries dropped in 1996 to 266 reported violations, down from 310 in 1995, a 14 percent decrease.
Vandalism showed a decline of 21 percent, and the number of rapes and motor vehicle thefts also showed a slight drop. Arrests for drug violations decreased as well.
However, petty larceny and theft increased more than 5 percent. The number of arson incidents on campus also rose slightly in 1996."
The crime report is published in compliance with the Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act passed by Congress in 1991. The act requires that colleges publish a biannual report including crime statistics from the previous three years. Murder, sex offenses, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, motor vehicle theft as well as statistics concerning drug, alcohol, and weapons violations are included in the report.
In addition to the categories required by Congress, the University also adds theft and operating under the influence to the list.
The awareness report chronicles only those crimes reported to the KU police department on campus property. Any off-campus crimes involving students or faculty is not included in the report.
"It is important that if you see something suspicious to give us a call... After all, next time that suspicious person
might be breaking into your car."
Sgt. Chris Keary KUpoliceofficer
Keary said that the biggest reason for the decrease in campus crime was that students have become more educated about crime prevention.
"It is important that if you see something suspicious to give us a call so that we can get it taken care of. After all, next time that suspicious person might be breaking into your car," Keary said.
Keary said the University is making great strides in making campus safer. Projects include increasing the lighting on campus and providing emergency phones that are direct links to the KU police department.
He said the most important way to prevent crime is to be aware of one's surroundings at all times.
"There are always areas that aren't as well lit as others," Keary said. "Don't take dark shortcuts. If you see someone suspicious while you are on campus use one of the emergency phones to call us."
Keary said new students must take precautions to avoid becoming crime victims. He said students should be sure not to leave property unattended and not to leave homes unlocked. He also said that it was
There is safety in numbers. Walk with a friend or group of friends.
Personal safety tips
The best defense is a good offense. Awareness and planning can reduce your chances of becoming a victim.
Whenever possible, walk in well lighted areas. Avoid dark shortcuts.
Know the location of emergency phones on campus.
- Keep your purse or backpack close to you. If you are mugged, give the attacker what he or she has.

you. If you are mugged, give the attacker what he or she wants and walk away.
Rape avoidance
Rape is an act of violence and control. There is no single solution to preventing rape; however, there are ways to avoid situations.
Avoid being alone with someone you don't know or trust.
There is safety in numbers.
Trust your instincts and avoid excessive use of alcohol and drugs, which impair your judgment in dangerous situations.
Have your house or car keys ready when you need to use them. It reduces the time you spend standing in a poorly lit area alone.
If a situation or a person does not feel right, trust your instincts and leave.
All rape victims should report the incident to the police. Do not shower, wash or douche prior to notifying authorities. If you choose to press charges this will ensure that important evidence still is available. Always seek immediate medical attention after a rape for possible injuries, STDs or unwanted pregnancy.
important for students to engrave serial numbers on their property so that the police can more easily find stolen property.
"We can't do it alone," Keary said. "The students area a part of crime prevention also."

KU volunteers aid patients, staff at LMH
It was an early September afternoon in Lawrence and the heat was overwhelming. A gas leak at a Lawrence grade school forced the children outside. Exposed to the heat, students started dropping from heat exhaustion. Some were rushed to the Lawrence Memorial Hospital emergency room for treatment. There, Mary Beth Curtis, a KU student beginning her first day of volunteering in the emergency room, sized up the situation and helped deal with the children.
"Some of the children were a little scared and needed to be calmed down. You have to jump right in. If you stop someone to ask about something, they are more than willing to help and explain, but nobody will actually hold your hand." Curtis said.
The ER at Lawrence Memorial is a little different than the television show on NBC Thursday nights, where a dozen doctors and nurses surround and treat a patient while racing down the hallway. In Lawrence, medical emergencies are less frequent, and probably, a little less urgent.
Student ER volunteer applications tend to be hit-and-miss, medical officials say.
"Volunteers in the ER often are scarce here at LMH. However, because of confidentiality and liability issues, they don't exist at all in some hospitals," said Brian Freeman, emergency department volunteer coordinator and EKG technician of five years.
The rest of the hospital welcomes volunteers of all kinds. But the ER is reserved for student volunteers 18 years or older who are aspiring pre-med, pre-nursing, or pre-physician assistant students
Students find the emergency room at LMH less demanding than other hospitals. However, that doesn't mean a volunteer's time is uneventful.
who are searching for experience and self-fulfillment, or those who already are studying in one of these pre-allied health areas. The ER receives up to 60 student applications a year.
"The turnover of volunteers is pretty high, and we constantly lose and gain them. Some want a little more action. Some simply have fainted and not been able to hack the stuff they've seen," he said.
"Student volunteer expectations at LMH are high because of TV shows like ER, Chicago Hope, and Rescue 911," Freeman said.
On television, the emergency room attracts a large influx of gunshot, heart attack, and other patients in the worst kind of shape. At LMH, such cases are rare, but times do arise when, within a period of two hours, the hospital admits up to 15 patients. This is when the volunteers find their place, helping to calm and comfort patients and assisting doctors and nurses when possible.
More common local emergencies include over-consumption of alcohol, drug overdose, heart problems and sports injuries. In case of a life-or-death situation, the hospital flies patients to the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan., time permitting.
The basic responsibilities of a student volunteer include stocking equipment and supplies, maintaining intravenous, oxygen and bed supplies and transporting patients from the ER to other areas of hospital.
"Volunteers can look forward to procedure assistance, observation, and direct contact with patients, which are not among their normal list of responsibilities," Freeman said.
Brian Kruckemyer graduated from the University of Kansas and is a pre-med volunteer in the ER. Although the average shift for
NURSING: Male nurses face discrimination by peers. Page 11C
volunteering each week is two to four hours, Kruckemeyer volunteers five hours a week. He volunteered 15 hours a week last fall.
"Volunteering doesn't take away from my studies or social life. I look at volunteering this many hours as a way of learning about time management so that I'm not sitting around uselessly doing nothing," he said.
Kruckemeyer has witnessed incidents that might deter the faint-hearted. He was volunteering when a man, who had previously had abdominal surgery for chronic stomach problems, came in with his stitches pulled.
"The man's abdominal wall was showing, and I helped and observed while he was being sewn back up. A lot of people might have been queasy after seeing that," he said.
Emergency
Freeman said those who couldn't handle the ER often decided to pursue a different career.
The hospital's insurance policy doesn't cover volunteers, so they can't perform any medical procedures or do anything that risks endangering the well-being of a patient.
"Things like the abdominal incident happen from time to time, but it's not like the show 'ER,' Kruckemyer said. "There are times, though, when there isn't an empty bed, and the doctors, nurses and volunteers don't get a break."
"One time, when I was on duty volunteering, a sick baby came in and needed an IV. I had to hold the little guy down and calm him while the nurse carried out the procedure," Erickson said.
David Erickson, Lincoln, Neb., sophomore, emphasized the importance of volunteers establishing direct contact with the patient and making the patient feel comfortable and calm.
Gale Garber / KANSAN
Jay Nastav, KU student volunteer, said everyone gained experience in the ER by working with patients or just by observing and talking to the staff.
The emergency room entrance sign directs ambulances and citizens to one of the busiest areas of Lawrence Memorial Hospital, 325 Maine St.
"Doctors are willing to slow down and talk and explain, but you have to want to be a part of what goes on in the ER." he said.
"A lot of people would see that as sacrificing my social life on a Friday night. I volunteer then not just because the ER is most active at night, but because it is a good way to learn how to sacrifice and be committed. Volunteering at the ER is just a stepping stone for the
Nastav, who started at LMH fast June and initially wanted to go into pediatrics, decided after his experiences in the ER to go into emergency medicine. He works late Friday nights from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. and sometimes volunteers until 5 a.m.
next great commitment," he said.
At great commitment," he said. All ER volunteers get the opportunity to prove to themselves whether they belong in the field of health studies.
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
Curtis endured her first test as an aspiring nurse when she jumped in without thinking and helped the grade school children, who were suffering from heat exhaustion.
"For some people it's difficult to know how to react in a given situation. You just have to want to get involved," Curtis said.
Freeman said there always was room for volunteers in the ER and currently there are a lot of openings. Students in pre-allied health studies or students who are contemplating it can contact the volunteer office at LMH at 749-6108.

New faces, places grace the Hill
University alterations spruce up aesthetics academics for students
By Crystal Honores
Kansan staff writer
Returning students may notice several transformations in the faculty, graduate programs and Lawrence campus this fall.
The physical changes to the campus are part of the $44 million that the Kansas Legislature allocated the University as part of the Crumbling Classrooms Project, said Chancellor Robert Hemenway.
"We want to preserve the beauty of Mount Oread and have a physical environment that shows respect for learning and scholarship," he said.
The money has spurred a series of projects that will be announced this fall as a part of the University's physical plan for the future.
The completion of Budig Hall, repainted classrooms and new curbs were portions of the plan finished this summer.
Hemenway said that Budig Hall would offer students an additional computer lab with 125 new computers.
Joseph R. Pearson Hall will also be renovated to house the School of Education, which was formerly located in Bailey Hall.
We want to preserve the beauty of Mount Oread and have a physical environment that shows respect for
learning and scholarship."
Robert Hemenway
KUchancellor
Sports fans will watch football games under new lights, which are part of Memorial Stadium's renovation plans.
But updating the campus isn't the only thing on Hemenway's mind. He said he was also concerned with future of the University's faculty.
"A university is always defined by its faculty," he said. "They recreate the university."
Andrew Debicki, dean of graduate and international programs, said there would be new faculty faces on campus, as many of the faculty members hired before 1975 are retiring.
New faces on campus will be 150 to 200 international visiting scholars and,1,600 international undergraduate and graduate students, Debicki said.
In an effort to internationalize the KU curriculum, the Office of International Programs offered $1,000 stipends to professors who would create a new international course or add international content to an existing course.
Though these courses may not be offered in the fall, they will be offered within the next two academic years.
Some departments have been evaluated by reviewers from other institutions, but he said that not all departments would be reviewed externally.
The department of graduate programs coordinated with other KU departments by refocusing programs to better meet students' needs, Debicki said.
Some of the strongest departments were those at a crossroad, he said.
These crossroads include changes in directors, faculty demographics, or research and discipline.
Debicki said that departments such as history and English produced many Ph.D. graduates, but that the job market for the graduates was scarce. The solution, he said, was to downsize the graduate programs.
The biggest concern for the office of graduate programs was that departments and faculty be aware of trends, give good advice and monitor and mentor so that students are prepared, Debicki said.
Change interrupts sense of community
ქართული
I had some bad news the other day when I learned that a part of my life was gone, probably lost forever. Joel, who has worked at the Kwik Shop on Ninth Street since I was a sophomore, has graduated and gotten a real job.
Certainly, as tragedies go, this isn't going to rank up there with such doozies as death,
administration. But for my life, a major element of my sense of community has been lost.
ANDY
OBERMUELLER
I came to Lawrence to go to school after a summer internship away from home. I had left Liberal, my hometown in western Kansas, about 15 minutes after high school graduation. I lived on my own in southwest Missouri for that summer, working at
a small newspaper. With my real home so far away, it was important for me to forge a new home in Lawrence, not just a temporary place to live while I was in school.
Along those lines, I made an effort to get to know the town and its faces. I found I liked living in Lawrence, and I liked the people here. I met Joel in my sophomore year when I got my first apartment. I would walk to Kwik Shop to get a soda or a snack or a tankful of gas. Their ATM was my satellite bank. If I was hungry in the middle of the night, a Strawberry Shortcake Roll was always available. Kwik Shop, as silly as it sounds, became a part of my community.
I don't remember introducing myself to Joel; he may have just noticed the name on my check or maybe I told him. But after he learned it, I never walked into Kwik Shop when he was working without him giving me a hearty greeting that included my name. I would get whatever I needed and talk to Joel
COMMENTARY
for a few minutes before I left. We would talk about little things: how business was, his interesting customers, our classes, how much we liked Lawrence in the summertime, or our weekend plans.
I never met Joel's family, I never ate a meal in his home or grabbed a beer with him after work. I never even asked his last name, but he was a key part of my daily routine. I liked the fact that he knew my name. I looked forward to buying gas and refilling my 64-ounce cup.
Most people make their lifelong friends in college, but few students seem to be aware of the community outside of M. Oread or Massachusetts Street. The turnaround in restaurants, bars, the grocery store and the bank is so quick that as soon as you know their employees, they tend to be gone. It's hard for students who try to cultivate a sense of their community to do so, because very few relationships outlast a lease.
Joel was an exception. He always seemed to be at work, even though I probably knew his schedule subconsciously. I would glance in the window at Kwik Shop some nights as I drove by with a slight hankering for gummi worms or a hot jalapeno sausage, but more often than not I would drive home if Joel was not there. I always felt like a stranger going into Kwik Shop when he wasn't there, and I felt like a traitor if I stopped at another convenience store. Aside from being a good friend, Joel was an asset to Kwik Shop's business.
It never occurred to me that he would leave one day, and I suppose I never thought of how much I enjoyed talking to him at the cash register. I expected Joel to be a static part of my life, of my community. I'm saddened by his career advance and wish him luck.
I moved on to bigger and better things. As for me, I think I'll go to Jayhawk Food Mart.
Life after politics Bob Dole's career takes a new turn
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Bob Dole now is pitching a debit card, an airline, doughnuts and even a Target store in his home state. "Paper or plastic?" Dole asks Kansas residents in his newest TV commercial.
The grinning, self-deprecating former Kansas senator and Republican presidential candidate has found a new celebrity outside of politics.
He's doing most of the commercials for laughs and donating much of the money he's earned to charity, including his spiel for the big, new Target store that opened in Olathe, Kan.
JAMES HARRIS
Bob Dole
"Now my career in politics is over, but I remain committed to providing you, the people of Kansas, with better opportunities, better resources and better choices," Dole says in the TV spot for the department store chain.
"With all this in mind I would like to ask all of you one question: Paper or plastic?"
Dole, in an interview July 29 with The Associated Press, said he's careful about which commercial offers he accepts.
"If they're not any fun, I don't want to do them," he said. "I've turned down things I didn't think were appropriate, or dignified, or funny."
Dole says he's not just a salesman; he has a message to convey: "I just want people to know there's life after losing an election, and I think you can be a winner even sometimes when you lose, and you can set an example for other people.
"That's been my message: Don't let it get you down. I've made it a point not to go out after the election and start jumping on Clinton or blaming anybody else for my defeat. That chapter's closed, so let's move on."

A NEW LOOK, MORE STUFF...
Early Monet work revisited
Finally...a reason to come to campus on Fridays!!
Exhibit showcases unseen paintings
The Associated Press
FORT WORTH, Texas — At the middle of his life, Claude Monet traveled to the Mediterranean. He was captivated by the intense sunlight, exotic plants, luminous mountains and the ever-changing see.
Monet, the French artist obsessed with painting light, discovered fabulous new opportunities and frightening challenges that changed his work.
Claude Monet
A. C. D. E.
"When surrounded with such dazzling
light, one finds one's palette rather poor. Here art would need tones of gold and diamonds," Monet wrote to his dealer in 1884.
That visit to the Italian and French Rivieres in 1884, a trip to Antibes, France, four years later, and one to Venice in 1908 are the focus of Monet and the Mediterranean, at the Kimbell Art Museum through Sept. 7. It moves to the Brooklyn Museum of Art in New York City in October.
The show includes 70 works of about 125 Monet (1840-1926) did in the Mediterranean. Many are privately owned and have never been exhibited or reproduced in color.
"To see them together is mesmerizing," said exhibition creator Joachim Pissarro, the great-grandson of Monet's Impressionist contemporary Camille Pissarro. Pissarro has been the Kimbell's chief curator since 1994 and became curator of European and contemporary art at the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, Conn., in July.
"They are important because historically Monet is at a point where he is leaving Impressionism behind," Pissarro said of the early works in the exhibit.
The artists who had collaborated in the impressionist movement in

the 1870s were branching out in the 1880s.
"They were all trying to forge a new language, a new style purely their own." Pissarro said. "Monet did that by going to the south."
To capture its transitory effects, he worked on serial paintings that became a focus of his later work.
"The idea of the series transformed painting, the idea that more than one picture told a story," Pissarro said.
Charles Stuckey, who organized the Art Institute of Chicago's 1995 Monet retrospective, says the Mediterranean brought Monet a sense of otherworldiness that carried him beyond his earlier realism.
"What we think of today as the grown-up, fully developed Monet really began down in the Mediterranean. Yet those works have never been looked at," said Stuckey, curator of paintings at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts who will succeed Pissarro at the Kimbell.
but struggled in a dramatically different environment.
Monet spent most of his threemonth 1884 trip in the Italian fishing village of Bordighera. He was excited by the tropical vegetation,
"It is too thick with dense foliage, and all you can find are motifs with lots of detail, jumbles terribly difficult to paint, and I, in contrast, am the man of isolated trees and large spaces," he wrote his mistress, Alice Hoschede, Feb. 11, 1884. Pissarro analyzes their correspondence in his book, Monet and the Mediterranean.
Monet's bold paintings of olive trees, which may have influenced similar works by Vincent van Gogh five years later, have never been exhibited together before. Four are in the Kimbels show.
"It's a mystery why they were not exposed," Pissarro said. "It is a major rediscovery."
Monet carried his obsession with plants home to Giverny. He began his own famous garden, creating the water lilies and other subjects that later absorbed him.
In 1888, Monet spent three months in Antibes, painting the bright water, the glittering Maritime Alps, and even capturing the mistral wind.
"These wonderful pictures did not come easily to him. He sweated physically and morally," Pissarro said. "He walked miles daily. He never made it easy for himself. The more impossible the task seemed to be, the more he wanted to tackle it."
Monet would set out at dawn with several canvases, painting in the same place all day to catch the changing light. A group of paintings in the exhibit show the old town of Antibes as shadows and reflections evolve, again framed by trees.
A few of Monet's Mediterranean paintings were exhibited in the 1880s, and the works received favorable reviews from Monet's supporters. But most of the paintings did not sell well and received little attention.
Monet painted until his death years later, still experimenting and self-critical, and still influencing colleagues.
"We don't easily understand heir was one of the most important painters in the 20th century," Pissarro said.
"He's not a facile artist. If you give him your time, he will pay you back."

Male nurses face discrimination
Patients rarely are ones to complain about nursing care
Paul Rayson, emergency room registered nurse at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, checks Marlena Durflinger's blood pressure. For Ravson, a nurse should be assertive and compassionate; gender shouldn't matter.
Gale Garber / KANSAN
By Kell Raybern Special to the Kansan
His fellow students didn't expect much from KU nursing student Scott Burpo, Ulysses senior, when he began teaching a parenting class to pregnant women.
"There's a misconception that women are the natural moms to teach about pregnancy." Burpo said. "People see nursing men as not capable of doing it."
Burpo's work in obstetrics, the care of women during and after childbirth, defied his classmates' low expectations and society's misconceptions about male inability to be nurses.
"When I did OB, all the women I took care of, I never had one feel uncomfortable with me. I was teaching them how to take care of their little ones," Burpo said.
In a culture and a profession that has sustained a decidedly female stereotypes, men who enter nursing say they face discrimination and sexist expectations. But those men who build careers helping the sick say their dedication and confidence can overcome traditional attitudes.
Burpo said most questions about his ability did not come from patients but from fellow students in the School of Nursing, 85 percent of whom are female.
"Nursing students have a stereotype that because I'm a man, I won't be able to do home health because older women won't let me in their homes. It's not the patients' perception, it's more the other nurses' perception," Burpo said.
Paul Rayson, a nurse at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, also said most concern about his gender did not come from patients.
"When I was in school, the nursing instructor was probably the most embarrassed," Rayson said.
In his professional career, objections also have come mostly from outsiders to the nurse-patient relationship. Rayson said objections could come from his fellow nurses, some of whom might have a problem if he wanted to work on the obstetrics floor.
VOLUNTEER: Students work behind scenes at LMH. Page 8C
Those who objected when Rayson performed an exam on a female rape victim were even further removed from the situation.
"The people in charge of the exam and patients didn't have a problem. People from the community had a problem with it," he said.
Because of such concerns, the hospital requires a female be present Whenever Rayson or another male nurse performs a pelvic exam.
Some male nursing students fear concerns about their gender will limit their careers.
Kyle Winans, a first-year nursing student at Chabot College in Hayward, Calif., was surprised when a patient's mother requested his removal from the care of the female patient.
"At first I was in shock, thinking 'Did I do anything wrong?' Winans said. "I later learned that many facilities have special rules for male nurses caring for female clients. This experience showed me that my role will always be one on the defense."
Societal stereotypes against male nurses are diminishing, however.
At the University of Kansas, male undergraduate enrollment increased from 10 percent of the freshman class in 1993 to 19.5 percent in 1996.
"We try to make efforts to have more men," said Rita Clifford, assistant dean of the KU School of Nursing. "Our recruitment efforts focus on being welcoming and inclusive."
Clifford said the efforts included taking nursing students on recruiting trips and a organizing a recent tour of the school for a group of male high school students.
However, Clifford said the most important gains for men interested in nursing were not made only in the classroom.
"It's more of a societal change." Clifford said. "Men are more free nowadays to choose professions that might once have been stereotypically the other gender."
Rayson said the most progress toward this goal was achieved through the popular media.
"The biggest inroads in removing the stereotype are being made through TV shows," Rayson said.
"They have a male nurse on ER."
Often, a nurse's own attitude can make patient relationships comfortable regardless of societal stereotypes.
"If I walk in and am nervous about a situation, that nervousness is carried across to the patient, and they become nervous," Rayson said.
Burpo agreed his state of mind was more important in establishing good patient relations than his gender.
"Patients don't care if you're male or female," Burpo said. "They care about being treated with dignity and respect."
Rayson also said a nurse's sex was not always important to patients.
"In the midst of having a baby, nobody cares," he said. "They want to be helped."
However, Rayson said the field of nursing must improve its gender balance.
EVERYDAY IS A FIRST DAY
"The perfect nurse has both masculine and feminine qualities," Rayson said. "The perfect nurse is both aggressive and compassionate, both assertive and tender. As a profession, we need to have a balance to give that perspective."

Real World
Experience
Sullivan ready for change
Main issues include release of instructors' evaluations
By Scott Sullivan Student body president
One of the top issues in the campaign was the release of faculty evaluation information to students. At the end of each semester, students fill out instructor evaluations but never benefit from that information. The increasing costs of higher education and the advent of linear tuition make it absolutely necessary that students learn about the instructor before the first day of class. With the opportunity to view instructor and course evaluations, students can find out what their peers have experienced in the class as well as information about the instructor's style. Consumers can research doctors, lawyers and other professionals — it is high time the University allow students to learn about their instructors.
The upcoming year will be an exciting one for student government. During last year's Student Senate campaign, Mike Walden, student body vice president, and I worked to promote our ideas for Student Senate. During that process, we also learned about student ideas with regard to every area of the University. Those ideas provided countless suggestions about how we can make Student Senate more useful to students. When we took office, Walden and I started working to accomplish our goals.
Another concern in the upcoming year will be examining the possibilities for an ethical choice policy with regard to dissection in biology classrooms. Currently, a student who objects to dissecting animals on religious or ethical grounds has no alternative but to participate in this course work. Walden, as student body vice president, will lead a task force this school year to seek acceptable alternatives for students who object to dissection on religious or ethical grounds.
Another goal of this year's administration is to improve transportation. We want to work with the city commission to provide a bus system that would serve on- and off-campus needs at a reasonable price. Working with the city to coordinate KU on Wheels' routes would extend coverage while cutting the cost of the University's system. We also are working to make campus safer by continuing to offer rides home through Saferide.
The condition of Robinson Gymnasium also will be addressed by this administration. Two years ago there was a proposal to build a new recreation center at an increase of $00 per semester for all students. Although that proposal failed, Walden and I understand that students desire an improved recreation complex, but they want it for less money. We are examining financing mechanisms that could increase the funding to recreation services and make Robinson more comfortable and useful.

This year's Student Senate also will make an effort to improve communication between student government and KU students. Unfortunately, students often are not aware of the benefits offered to them through student government. They don't know what Senate is doing or how those programs affect them. We will work with the

incoming Senate Communications Board to produce an effective Web page; create an e-mail listserve from which students can learn of upcoming issues and agendas. Coordinate events to inform students of Senate issues and plan meetings in which Senate executives are accessible in a discussion forum. As a result of legislation Walden wrote this summer, the Senate Communications Board will be responsible for meeting with dozens of student organizations to inform them of how Senate can assist them.
These are just some of the issues we will attack. The Student Senate executives and the Student Senate have set lofty goals. It will be difficult for us to accomplish many of them without student help. Students' support of releasing instructor information, producing an ethical choice policy and improving transportation is vital to our efforts. We welcome your suggestions and support.

Socializing, sobriety can be good mix
SECTION D
Students who don't drink often face criticism, social pressure
By Chris Yancey Special to the Kansan
Saturday, 9:00 p.m.
Before leaving Eldsworth Hall for an after-hours fraternity party, my friends Brian and Chris mix two Jack Daniels and Cokes in 32 fluid-ounce glasses. They raise their drinks over their heads.
"Gentlemen, start your engines," Brian says, as his glass touches Chris's to complete the toast.
The first alcohol of the night enters the systems of these college-drinking veterans.
"The evening has begun," Chris says.
I'm a of veteran of college-drinking culture. During my two years at the University of Kansas, I have sat on the sidelines watching countless students get smashed. I am one of the few who chooses not to play this game. Unlike most KU students, I have never had that first drink, and for the time being, I have no desire to take it. I am the designated driver. I am the guy with the Coke at the four-kegger. And I am my friends' feet when they can't walk home.
We're off on another weekend.
About 85 percent of college students drink alcohol, according to a study by The Chronicle of Higher Education. About 44 percent of them are binge drinkers, which means taking at least five drinks in one sitting for men and four for women.
Only a small number of college students who choose not to drink.
The reasons for students' decision not to include alcohol in their lives range from a desire to live a moral life to not liking alcohol's taste.
But Jason McKinney's reason for being a non-drinker is as thick as blood.
Before McKinney, Olathe freshman, was born, his grandfather died from an aneurysm that occurred after many years of alcoholism.
"Alcohol has killed almost every man in my family." McKinney said. "I am one who sees the long term. Alcoholism runs in my family, and I don't want to become one of them."
Even though McKinney has had only a few drinks during his lifetime, he has witnessed alcohol's potential for tragedy. When McKinney was a sophomore in high school, one of his friends was killed when the friend drove into a light pole at 115 mph. His friend was drunk.
"I was supposed to be with him that night, but I was grounded," McKinney said. "Everybody, when they're young, thinks they're immortal, but it could have easily been me."
"I like to have control over myself, and I just didn't have control like I thought I would," he said. "I can have just as much fun when I'm not drunk."
McKinney got drunk once to see how it felt, and he said he did not enjoy the experience because he told his friends things that he later regretted saying.
Saturday, 10:30 p.m.
Brian stumbles into a wall as we walk upstairs to pick up the rest of the gang for the party. I ask him if he feels well enough to go.
"I'm all right, Yancey," he says, as if there is no way he is going to be left behind. "I'll be fine once we get there."
"That was horrible," he says, wiping his mouth.
"Let's eat foolin' around. I'm ready to go."
Chris and I help him up the stairs, and we walk in on our friend Troy who, at the urging of many spectators, chugs the rest of his plastic bottle of cheap vodka.
Our group of five quickly becomes eight as we head downstairs. We all dash through heavy rain and pile into my 1987 Toyota Tercel hatchback. It's a record number of passengers.
"Guys, I went to one of these before spring break and there was a band in one room, dancing in the living room, and there were four kegs." Troy says.
As I start the car and put it in reverse, I hear the "question" once again.
"Hey Chris, I'm just curious. Why don't you drink?" Mindi asks, as if there is something wrong with me.
As usual, I'm at a loss for words. Why can't people understand drinking is something that I just don't want to do?
When the drinking age was raised to 21 in 1987, the University had to decide what stance it would take on alcohol.
David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, said the University decided to ban alcohol from campus because most students were under 21. This included student housing because the majority of students who lived in on-campus housing were freshmen and sophomores.
"Many other campuses still allow students over 21 to have beer in their room, but this is unrealistic because many of these students have roommates who are 18 and 19." Ambler said.
Ambler said he believed the drinking age should be enforced, but he said setting it at 21 was unrealistic. He favors teaching students to use alcohol responsibly instead of promoting abstinence.
"Whether we like it or not, young people are going to use alcohol, and we have to teach them how to use it responsibly," he said. "I believe in the education of it because it is here to stay."
The Health Education Wellness Center in Watkins Memorial Health Center employs five staff members who actively promote alcohol education, Ambler said.

Too much alcohol washes life away

College scene can promote binge drinking
By Corrie Moore Special to the Kansan
Mike leans back and crosses his legs as he takes a gulp of his Bud Light. Someone yells out his nickname "Fanny" from across the bar. He shoots a half-cocked smile that direction and waves his hand. After a couple of minutes, he finishes his beer and heads to the bar for another.
"If it was Thursday night and I had $20 left," Mike said, "I would skip dinner before I would not go out."
It's Tuesday and just another night out with his friends.
It's not only on weekends that Lawrence bars are crowded. They're packing them in during the week, too. Students are slamming down beers, in an attempt to release pressure or to just fit in to the college scene.
According to a 1994 commission report by the Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University, binge drinking is the biggest substance
abuse problem on college campuses across the country. The center reports that numbers have not decreased since the three-year-old study was completed.
Ashleigh Roberts / KANSAN
Lance Gutsch, Goodland senior, relaxes on a beach with a beer. Students who consume mass quantities of alcohol risk dehydration, nausea and possibly passing out.
Binge drinking is defined as five or more drinks for men or four or more drinks for women on one occasion in a two-week period. For students like Mike, five drinks seems unrealistically low. Studies show that between 75 percent and 96 percent of college students report having consumed alcohol during the past year, compared with 88 percent of the general population, according to figures provided by Douglas County Citizens Committee on Alcoholism Inc., (DCCCA) an alcoholism and drug abuse center in Lawrence that provides education and counseling.
Mike doesn't see himself as having a drinking problem, but he knows that others see it that way. For this reason, Mike withheld his last name.
"I don't drink to get drunk," he said. "I drink because I'm done with my other drink."
continues drinking with friends until 3 or 4 a.m. He said his record of nights out drinking in a row was 22.
Mike goes out to drink four or five nights a week. He starts about 8 p.m., but he doesn't stop when the bars close. He usually
Matt Tessier, the University of Kansas's greek alcohol programs and risk management educator, said there were more opportunities for college students to drink.
"They don't have parental guidance around them all the time," he said.
Christine Roney, St. Louis Junior, said college life was a new experience for freshmen.
"Students to college and have a chance to go out and get crazy." she said.
because of alcohol.
According to DCCCA Center, a 1991 national survey of college students reported that A students averaged 3.6 drinks per week, B students 5.5 drinks per week, C students 7.6 drinks per week, and D or F students 10.6 drinks per week.
Mike schedules his classes for later in the day, but he still misses several classes a week.
Although Mike goes out during the week and does miss class, he does fairly well in school.
"Sometimes after a rough night, I like to have a couple of drinks to feel normal," he said.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, about 159,000 freshmen drop out of college annually because of alcohol and other drugs. The heaviest drinkers at both 2- and 4-year institutions get the lowest grades, and almost one-third of the students at 4-year institutions report missing class
Often fraternity and sorority students are associated with alcohol abuse. Tessier said greeks had more social occasions to drink, but that they
behave the same as non-greeks.
"Non-greeks would do the same; they just don't have the same opportunities as greeks," he said.
Josh Newville, Omaha junior and president of the Delta Chi fraternity, agreed that alcohol was more available to greek students.
"It is an intermingling of older college students with younger students." he said.

Singer splashes color into country genre
Yoakam combines rock blugrass to produce a new kind of cover album
The Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A lounge-lizard version of a British Invasion classic. A dance rendition of a Glen Campbell ballad. The Clash — bluegrass style.
Not at all.
Is Dwight Yoakam kidding on his new CD Under the Covers? Has he been so busy remaking himself into a movie star — the bad guy in Billy Bob Thornton's Sling Blade — that he hasn't had time to write his own songs?
"It was an outgrowth of a live radio broadcast we had done ... in the summer of "95," Yoakam said. "We did a couple of cover tunes. We did a Merle Haggard thing and we did Goodtime Charlie."
"The response by the call-in audience was so strong that the label asked if we would do (a CD). As (producer) Pete (Anderson) and I discussed it further, we discovered we had a window of opportunity to record it after we recorded the Gone album in the summer of 1995. We did most of it that fall."
The newly released Under the Covers contains 12 tracks. The most unusual is So Tired, a Big-Band version of the song written by Ray Davies, leader of The Kinks.
"It was important to find our own interpretation of everything we did," Yoakam said from Austin, Texas, where he recently finished work on his next movie, The Newton Boys, starring Matthew McConaughey.
Under the Covers also contains remakes of songs by Roy Orbison, Sonny and Cher, Johnny Horton, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Them (Van Morrison's first band).
There are some misfires, but none of the songs are boring.
Among the highlights:
—Things We Said Today. Yoakam's version of the John Lennon-Paul McCartney tune is darker than The Beatles'.
—Wichita Lineman. Yoakam turns the hit ballad by Glen Campbell into a fast-paced dance tune.
—Baby Don't Go. This song was written by Sonny Bono, who recorded it with then-wife Cher. On Yoakam's album, Cher's part is sung by Sheryl Crow.
—Train in Vain, originally on The Clash's 1980 album London Calling. Yoakam's version is hard-country, almost bluegrass-style.
Elsewhere in country music
WHOLE LOTTA BUCK: An 8-foot, 500-pound bronze of Buck Owens by artist Bill Raines is now on display at Owens' entertainment complex in Bakersfield, Calif. Raines says he wants to be the Frederic Remington of country music. He's working on statues of Ernest Tubb and Hank Williams Sr. that will be unveiled in Nashville next year.
COUNTRY MUSIC LIBRARY: There's a biography out on Eddy Arnold, the smooth singer of ballads, including Make the World Go Away. The author is Michael Steissguth, and it's published by Schlirmer Books in Old Tappan, N.J.
—The Last Time, written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Yoakam makes a breakneck country tune out of a song that was a bland blues-pop offering when the Stones did it in 1965.
While it's an unusual combination of songs, Yoakam previously has performed many of them in concert. As with his other albums, elements of rock and country are mixed without regard for radio formats.
"I don't think we had a specific agenda other than the enormous joy we found executing the performances of all these songs for the sake of the song itself, "Yoakam said. "And we always disregard being a prisoner to any specific genre of music."
Musical restlessness has paid off for the 40-year-old Yoakam, who was born in Pikeville, Ky., raised in Columbus, Ohio, and became famous out of Los Angeles after being spurned by Nashville record companies in 1974.
His 1986 album Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc. etc. sold over a million copies and included the hit Honky Tonk Man, an old Johnny Horton song. He has released six CDs and a greatest-hits package since. The 1993 CD This Time, produced four hits, including Ain't That Lone Yet.
Anderson, who has produced all of Yoakam's records and plays guitar in his band, said financial success was a long time coming.
"I worked with Dwight for 2 and a half years, and never made a dollar," he said. "We never made money touring until 1991.
"We made the first EP (A Town South of Bakersfield) ourselves, and when (record companies) came calling we had already built up an audience. We signed with Reprise because they gave us the money and went away. We made the record we wanted to make, not what they wanted."
And there's more to come. Yoakam has a Christmas album due out in September, after which he will begin recording original material for an album in 1998.
The Delevantes' style likened to other native
The Associated Press
New Jersey brothers sparkle in Nashville
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Delevantes don't come from the South, or even South Jersey. But they still make some of the brightest country music today.
Bob and Mike Delevane were raised in Rutherford, N.J., and later moved eight miles to Hoboken, Frank Sinatra's hometown. Nevertheless, their harmonies sound more like The Everly Brothers of Kentucky or The Louvin Brothers from Alabama.
On their Capitol Records debut, Postcards From Along the Way, which came out in July, many of the songs are about home — either loving it or desperately needing to get out. Sometimes both.
"The influence of Springsteen was very strong in New Jersey," said Talent, who, like the Delevantes, moved from New Jersey to Nashville.
It's a tried-and-true country music theme, one well-explored by another Jersey native, Bruce Springsteen. The Delevantes' producer is Gary Tallent, bassist in Springsteen's old E Street Band.
"They write about what they know. It's my job to kind of keep it (Springsteen influence) to a minimum, not to maximize it, because people will point fingers and make a big deal out of it."
The subject matter on Postcards From Along the Way is akin to Springsteen, but the sound sure isn't. The Delevantes offer nasal harmonies delivered atop simple, poignant melodies.
But there are gritty lyrics, too.
On This Engine Runs on Faith, a family piles into an old car with "a mattress tied to the roof with cord and dreams," and heads South to
"They write about what they know. It's my job to kind of keep it (Springsteen influence) to a minimum, not to maximize it because people will point fingers and make a big deal out of it."

Delevantes'producer
look for work. Suitcase of Leather is the story of someone who left home, told by a friend who staved.
John Wayne Lives in Hoboken is a love letter from the Delevantes to their hometown. It includes this verse:
"Now the stars they sparkle, and the stars they shine
far, far off from the riverside.
But the stars they sparkle, and the stars they shine
right here in this little town of mine."
Many of their songs are byproducts of Bob and Mike Deleaveau pondering their decision to leave Hoboken in 1993 to try their luck in Nashville.
"It was a bigger sacrifice than I realized," Mike Delevante said. "You start to miss things a lot more. It's just always there in the back of your
mind.
"You wonder, 'What if I hadn't done this, what if I had stayed home?' A lot of our friends are as happy as can be just staying in one place."
Raised in the suburbs, the middle-class sons of a personnel director and a homemaker, the brothers were close enough in age to share the same friends. They're both in their mid-30s but declined to be more specific.
"Mike took up guitar first," Bob Deleavane said. "I started shortly after that. We took lessons together."
Younger brother Mike remembers hanging around until he was asked to join jam sessions.
"I think the deal was — he was a better guitar player," Bob Delevante said.
They formed rock bands together, and a friend turned them on to Flatt & Scruggs and bluegrass music. Bob even played in a bluegrass band for a short time.
Both graduated from New York City art schools — Bob from Parsons School of Design, Mike from The School of Visual Arts—and did free-lance work to support their music careers.
Their four-piece band, Who's Your Daddy, became a mainstay in Hoboken, a live music hot spot in the 1980s. In 1988, the brothers made their first trip to Nashville to pitch their work to music publishers. One of the first, Mike Porter at Warner Chappell, listened to their tape and asked to hear more.
"That's an amazing thing," Bob Deleivante said. "In New York, you might see a receptionist."
The Deleavantes eventually signed a publishing deal with Porter and started making frequent trips to Nashville before pulling up stakes, and moving there.
At a Steve Earle show, they met Tallent, who produced their 1995 debut album on Rounder Records, Long About That Time. Capitol then signed them on the strength of that record.

Classic humor returns to TV
CBS welcomes Newhart back to nighttime
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — We don't mean to overstate this, but we can't escape the feeling all is right with the TV world: Bob Newhart is coming back.
After The Bob Newhart Show in the 1970s, Newhart in the '80s and the short-lived Bob, the comedian is paired with Judd Hirsch as odd couple in laws in George & Leo, debuting this fall on CBS.
"I was playing golf three times a week, and I didn't want to do that for the rest of my life," Newhart said.
"I missed the creative process of going in on a Monday, and you have a script that's really good but not quite there. Tuesday's a little better, Wednesday's a little better. Then you do it before a live audience and it works, and it's the high of highs.
"It's what it's all about," he said. In George & Leo, to air 9:30 p.m. EDT Mondays, Newhart plays a widowed bookstore owner living on Martha's Vineyard. Hirsch is Leo, a rascal who blows into town as his daughter is about to marry George's son.
After the misbegotten Bob of 1992-93, which took Newhart out of character and made him brassier, the new series is a return to form.
been part of television for so long with good reason.
He and the medium are well-suited.
Like a towering comedian of the past, Jack Benny, Newhart's tiny tics are perfect for the small screen. So is his timing; like Benny, he is a master of the
pause that amuses.
In a scene from his news s it c o m , Newhart tries to convince a hitman that he's not Vegas bagman Leo, who's skipped town with his bosses' money.
"OK, we'll play it that way. You're not Leo, and I'm not a mob assassin," says the gunman.
The comedian, a youthful-looking 67 with only a slight pauch, makes comic hay of seeming so very average.
Mr. Carlin?"
"I was playing golf three times a week, and I didn't want to do that for the rest of my life." Bob Newhart
A beat, then another. Then Newhart's reply: "Uh, good."
Unlike Benny, whose comic persona included vain superiority, Newhart is Everyman, reacting with cautious politeness to the crackpots and bullies that life insists on tossing his way.
Here's a typical encounter between the psychologist he played on The Bob Newhart Show and perennial patient Elliot Carlin (Jack Riley), as recounted by Newhart:
"Men think they were in the service with me, and women think I was their first husband," he said. "People will come up and
"How was your weekend, Mr. Carlin?"
"On Sunday, I was possessed by the devil."
Bob Newhart actor
say 'Where the hell is the check ... Oh, I thought you were someone else.'"
albums, was never so hip that he risked becoming uncool.
It is classic humor that has allowed Newhart to keep striking our funny bone.
The former accountant,
the man with
"the button-down mind",
as he billed himself on '60s comedy
His trademark was phone conversation bits, like Sir Walter Raleigh's boss questioning him from England about the discovery of tobacco: "You stick it between your lips. Then what do you do with it, Walt? You set fire to it?"
Newhart's only gimmick seems to be his measured delivery — and he contends that's not really artifice.
"People say 'Is that your natural way of talking?' Well, I didn't look at the comedy scene and say, 'Wait a minute, nobody's doing a stammer.'"
On occasion, he's had to protect
his rhythm from the tone deaf.
"On The Bob Newhart Show, it was early in the first year and one of the shows was running a little long. A producer said 'Could you kind of run some of those speeches together? It would really help us on time.'
Newhart understands that timelessness is key to his appeal, and he resisted topical humor in his '70s sitcom.
"And I said 'Look, this stammer has given me a home in Beverly Hills and I'm not about to change it. So you'd better take out some words."
"They'd put in a Gerald Ford joke and I'd say 'Guys, people are gonna be watching this 20 years from now and that's really gonna look dumb.' So we never got terribly topical; it was character-driven, not joke-driven."
And people are, indeed, watching his old shows.
Newhart said he was pleased that he's found a new audience, including children, through reruns on the Nickelodeon cable channel.
Though today's sitcoms have changed, with pressure for raucous lines and sexy scenes, Newhart doesn't expect those to be part of George & Leo.
"That isn't the kind of show I like to do. And I don't think that's the only kind of show that can be successful," he said.
"I think we can go a little further than we have in the past, but not like some of the shows I've seen. They're more shock than they are funny."
After 25 years on television, Newhart knows better. In September, he'll find out if audiences do, too.
Reruns, tempers burn audiences
Summer viewing down 11 percent
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Watch it! This summer in the television world, emotions run as hot as the weather.
Hong Kong was boiling a month ago. But NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw reportedly was even more steamed when the network cut him short after just three minutes on the air.
His rivals at ABC and CBS continued live coverage as Britain handed over Hong Kong to China. Meanwhile, NBC handed over Brokaw's airtime to sports so it could cover tennis.
A Miller Brewing Co. executive was angry about getting fired for describing a racy episode of Seinfeld to a female co-worker. Then when Jerold Mackenzie took his former employer and colleague to court, a Milwaukee jury got angry for him. They awarded him $26.6 million.
CNN president Tom Johnson confessed he hit the ceiling when one of his network's correspondents, Jonathan Karl, turned shill for a credit card company in a magazine ad.
And Kathie Lee Gifford is probably still pretty sore at husband Frank, just as sure as they both are still seething at the supermarket tabloid that published photos of the football Hall of Famer getting sporty with a buxom blonde in a Manhattan hotel suite.
But they're not the only angry one around.
The Catholic League is plenty hot under the collar, clerical and otherwise, as it appeals to ABC to banish an upcoming series from the network's fall lineup.
Nothing
tion of NBC's Friends.
ABC has other things to sweat about, of course.
Like summers before,the networks are just fiddling.
Sacred stars Kevin Anderson as a young priest ministering to a rowdy urban parish. ABC calls Father Ray "witty, audacious, sexy, and first, and foremost, a man."
That translates into a negative portrait of the priesthood for the 350,000-member Catholic anti-defamation group, despite the view of others who have seen the pilot as one of the best new dramas of the upcoming season.
Right now, the network is trying to drum up excitement for its fall schedule while its hottest show, a real-life melodrama spinning out of control, upstages its new schedule and everything else.
But does it have a prayer? ABC's faith in Nothing Sacred will soon be put to the ultimate test, and not just by censorious Catholics. The series faces the merciless competi-
Jamie Tarses stars as herself in Jamie Learns Her ABCs, the saga of a young, beautiful TV programmer who finds herself in over her head as the first woman to head a network's entertainment division.
"The truth is very complex," Ted Harbert, Tarses' predecessor, recently told the New York Times Magazine.
Are the men at the network trying to derail poor Jamie? Or, after 14 stormy months during which she has reportedly antagonized her bosses along with some of the industry's most powerful producers, could her problem with the job be. sav. inertitude?
But speaking of Hollywood, he added more simply, "The town hates her, and I'm not sure even
hits will fix that."
Even so, last week Tarses declared, she was staying at ABC.
Meaning her rapt audience will have to wait a little longer for the series conclusion.
Which raises another question:
How would such a series, if it really were a series, be rated for violence,
sex and language?
That's an issue that gets everyone fuming, from politicians to programmers to parents. The age-based ratings plan introduced early this year pleased no one.
Now a souped-up parental advisory will add the content-oriented letters "V," "S" and "L," as well as "D" for suggestive dialogue, to gauge prime-time broadcast fare.
Except on NBC, which has heatedly refused to participate in the revamped system. It could lead to censorship, the network warns.
A recent study by the Bozell advertising agency found that television usage is about 11 percent lower in summer than in fall — but that broadcast networks' ratings plunge by more than 25 percent.
The clear message is that the audience is rejecting their plethora of summer reruns.
Like summers before, the networks are just fiddling - while their hot and bothered audience burns.

Sculptor gives creations life
Artist's work reflect human emotion, spirit
BROOKLINE, N.H. — John Weidman was sitting outside his studio when a leaf fell into his lap. He stared at it before clasping it between fingers called by years of shaping stone and steel.
The Associated Press
Nothing works better
"This is some sort of a sign. I'll have to create something with this," he said.
Weidman, 54, is a sculptor who converts items others throw away into art. He combines objects he finds with more conventional sculpture materials, including metal and stone.
"What I want in the act of doing this is the fun of the process. I look at a material and I say I'm not going to throw it away because I picture doing something to it," Weidman said. "It makes you feel alive; it makes you feel as though you've shared something."
That sharing takes place in Weidman's yard and workshop. His studio is a converted red barn filled with sculptures, jet engine-powered welding tools, slabs of stone and sheets of steel.
About 20 of his creations stand in the front yard. Some, like Ankle Biter, a three-wheel skateboard carved from granite, are dwarfed by trees.
Others have a dramatic presence Red-Breasted Sunbather is a seated woman leaning back on arms made of steel rods. She sits on iron wheels for buttocks and thrusts her red granite chest toward the sky.
Weldman said he tried to blend conventional materials within his more eclectic works so the viewer was not jarred by the transitions. Other sculptures rely solely on conventional techniques.
Among Weidman's most popular pieces are his Sleeping People. The bronze sculptures of facial parts portray men and women as they dream. Weidman said about 30 of his pieces were on display throughout the world.
"They are people I see on subways sleeping, people I imagine. A sleeping face is easy to see into, to look into it, because it's not looking back at you," Weidman said. "They're not making a statement."
Weidman is one of the founders of the World Sculpture Racing Society, which began in 1982 to get art into the streets — literally. The artists race by pushing their sculptures toward a finish line.
"They get the sculptures out of the galleries and into the streets," Weidman said. "It puts the art on the level of sports."
Although the society is defunct now, a sculpture race is held each year in Norwalk, Conn. Weidman has retired from racing, but he still holds the record for creating the world's heaviest racing sculpt-
What I want in the act of doing this is the fun of the process. I look at the material and...I picture doing something to it"
John Weldman sculptor
ture — a 2-ton stone wave mounted on casters. The stone wave is 15 feet tall and 7 feet long.
Born in Wisconsin, Weidman grew up on the university campuses where his father taught history.
He discovered sculpting when he was 18 and doing summer maintenance work for the U.S. Air Force.
During a short stint as an artist in the military, Weidman painted the portrait of James T. Davis, the first American killed in Vietnam. The portrait was commissioned to hang at Fort Devens in Ayer, Mass.
He then attended, but never graduated from, various universities.
"I just took courses in college that pertained to what I wanted to know," he said.
He studied medicine and psychology because he wanted his sculptures of people to show the emotions that controlled and confounded them.
Welidman spends much of his time in the Ukraine, where he met his wife. He was inducted into Ukraine's Union of Artists, a group of that nation's most talented fine arts professionals. So far, he is the only American asked to join.
Welidman said he was drawn to the Ukraine and Europe because artists played a larger part in the community than in the United States. He said artists in the Ukraine and Europe seldom were, asked what they did for a living.
"Life is necessary for art, and art is a necessity of life. We use it. It's a function. We need it," Weidman said of the Ukrainian attitude toward art.
Though the materials Weidman works with are bulky, he strives to minimize their weight and to emphasize the space around them. A current project combines a marble slab, an iron beam and steel trellises to form a delicate 600-pound dining room table.
Weidman said anything was a potential work of art. In the loft above his workshop are several old workbench tops, scarred by torches, marred by knives and saws, and splattered with paint and grease. They are framed and hanging on the wall.

Air Force One flies audience into presidential nightmare
The Associated Press
In the movie business today, there is a small fraternity of star performers who can lend
credituity
e v e n
verisimiilitude,
to the
most outrageous of film
plots.
Harrison Ford
Gene Hackman, Sean Connery and Harrison Ford are names that spring to mind.
PETER SMITH
With Air Force One, Ford faces his biggest challenge yet. The whopper of this Wolfgang Petersen film is that the presidential plane gets hijacked by eight Russian dissidents, with the president, his wife and daughter aboard. Ford is the president.
Dogfighting with the Jedi was a cinch compared to this one.
Happily, old (55) faithful Ford rises to the occasion and whips the bad guys.
Was there ever any doubt?
The film begins with all the pomp and ceremony of a summit meeting in Moscow. The United
COMMENTARY
States and Russia have just completed a commando raid to capture the genocidal leader of the former Soviet Union state of Kazahkstan. At a huge dinner, President Marshall (Ford) issues a manifesto: The United States will combat murdering tyrants anywhere in the world.
Now for the pleasant flight home to Washington on Air Force One.
Eight Kazakhstan terrorists, led by Gary Oldman, board the flight posing as a Russian TV crew (whom they have murdered). Their weapons are on board, thanks to a Secret Service mole.
The rebels take over the plane in the most brutal manner, slaying passengers at will. The president seems to have eluded them, perhaps leaving in an escape pod.
The top officials of Washington, D.C., led by Vice President Glenn Close, gather to deal with the crisis. Oldman tells them by phone that unless his leader is freed from prison, he will kill a hostage every half-hour. The first victims are the national security adviser and press secretary.
The violence continues as the
'Air Force One' results in two hours of almost unbearable tension. Yet it is utterly fascinating to watch.
president appears from hiding and begins his own war of attrition against the terrorists (he's a Vietnam War vet).
Just when you think he has triumphed, another crisis arises: how to fly the damaged 747 to safety with all pilots dead and Kazakhstan MiGs firing rockets.
Climax piles upon climax. The thinking of filmmakers seems to be: If you're going to spend $100 million, you might as well give the audience the works.
Air Force One results in two
hours of almost unbearable tension. Yet it is utterly fascinating to watch — especially since the events, while far-fetched, are not the otherworldly, computer-generated excesses of much of this summer's movie fare.
Wolfgang Petersen is expert in presidential matters, having directed In the Line of Fire. He is totally in charge of this complex film, combining crowd scenes, aerial combat, daring stunts, face-to-face violence and high-level intrigue with a steady hand.
Ford continues in top form, conducting himself as everyone would hope for in a president. Close brings equal decisiveness as vice president. Oldman conveys unspeakable cruelty without going over the top.
The rest of the cast is first-rate, especially Wendy Crewson and Liesel Matthews as first lady and daughter, Dean Stockwell as the ambitious secretary of defense, and Jurgen Prochnow in the non-speaking role as the jailed despot.
The Columbia Pictures release was produced by Petersen and Gail Katz and written by Andrew W. Marlowe.
Ford plays on emotion,not action
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Harrison Ford won't touch it with a 39 1/2-foot pole.
Because he's playing a U.S. president who's a faithful husband, devoted father, and world leader committed to doing the right thing no matter what's politically expedient or popular in his latest film, it's suggested that some would say his role really isn't that rooted in reality.
"Not my job." the actor said.
Together, they say: You're breaking up the wrong cinematic superstar if you're looking for political pontifications or soapbox solutions to society's problems.
Instead, he wants to focus on how he considers Air Force One much more than an action picture, and how he feels it has a strong emotional underpinning.
And he proceeds to promise that never again would he allow U.S. self-interest to deter him from doing the morally right thing.
"It makes his dilemma more than just physical risk," said Ford, who stars as President James Marshall.
Marshall doesn't want to be lionized for his part in a military operation to capture a Russian separatist because it took too long to happen. (He waited two months to build a political constituency in his own country that allowed him to give the go-ahead.) He says: "While we watched it on TV, 200,000 people died."
In that context, Ford said he thought the film took on considerably larger emotional heft as his character eventually faces a choice between his daughter's life and the policy decision he's made.
"It also reminds us to take into account the human factor, that judging by ourselves from some distance the moral leadership that we have ... is not the same as standing there with your daughter's life in jeopardy," Ford said.
Judgments of real-life public officials and their morality can have
"Unfortunately, it's about personal behavior instead of about the real questions of our country's moral behavior."
Harrison Ford
the wrong focus, he said.
"Unfortunately, it's about personal behavior instead of about the real questions of our country's moral behavior. A lot of it is very much misplaced and incorrectly applied. Of course, we should have an interest in the character of the person we elect to the presidency, but we have unnatural expectations of our political leaders."
Much of what President Bill Clinton is accused of (philandering, in particular) we now know other presidents have been guilty of — in spades, Ford acknowledged.
"The press used to be protective of the personal lives or our leaders, almost complicitous in maintaining their dignity and their privacy. Now everyone's a tabloid journalist," he said.
Ford likes to guard his own privacy. He spends much of his free time on his 800-acre spread near Jackson Hole, Wyo., with his two children — 10-year-old Malcolm and 6-year-old Georgia — and second wife Melissa Mathison, a screenwriter whose credits include E.T. the Extraterrestrial. Similarly, he stays away from spouting his social and political views.
"I have very strong interests.
keen interests, in a lot of social and political issues, which I discharge as a private citizen, not as a celebrity spokesman."
Still, he wants to make sure no criticism of more vocal stars is implied.
"I'm not in a position to discuss anybody else's behavior or how they conduct themselves. It's purely their choice. For myself, I'm not interested in becoming a poster boy for any particular cause. I don't think that's useful to either the cause or to myself. But mostly I don't think it's useful to the cause.
"I think that those issues which are decided on the basis of what kind of celebrity all-star team is mustered to support the cause often suffer from a less interesting discussion of the issues and a concentration on who the supporters are. I'd rather see complicated issues discussed by experts and decided on by an informed and interested body politic rather than consumers of entertainment."
For consumers of entertainment, Ford stands as a one-man, all-star team. He's been in not one, but three, successful movie series: the Star Wars trilogy, which was released this year, the adaptations of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan books and the Indiana Jones thrill rides.
He starred in the box-office blockbuster The Fugitive and received an Academy Award nomination for playing a Philadelphia detective who tries to blend in with the Amish in 1985's Witness. And he's displayed his acting range in such disparate films as Blade Runner, The Mosquito Coast, Working Girl and Regarding Henry.
In picking roles, Ford said he looked for things that engaged him, and that he could give an emotional expression to, because he thinks that's the way to connect with an audience — emotionally, on a gut level.
"I've always tried to do all kinds of films, from little romantic comedies to larger dramas," he said.
Through it all, however, he's never considered what he does mysterious or complicated.
"It's storytelling. There's a story, and I help tell it," he said, making it sound so elementary.
Ford — who's been a tremendous commercial success, starring in five of the 25 biggest-grossing films of all time — considers himself more of a craftsman, like the carpenter he was before his career breakthrough 20 years ago, than an artist.
"I don't have time to work with wood anymore, and I've lost my chops," he said. "It's like a skill that you lose. Like a musician loses his skill if he doesn't practice every day."
And at this point his chops for big, commercial films are well-practiced. In between, he has no hankering for a small role in an independent film, like Sylvester Stallone in Cop Land.
"I like what I do," says Ford, who's known as being much more hands-on about every aspect of his work than most actors.
Just in recent months, he reportedly has:
Lobbied a rival studio to delay release of competing potential blockbusters, which were scheduled to come out the same day as Air Force One.
— Fumed over the public declarations of love for Ellen DeGeneres by Anne Heche, his leading lady in his next film, a romantic comedy.
— Fought over script rewrites for his last movie *The Devil's Own* and feuded with co-star Brad Pitt. (Which both publicly deny.)
"I like being involved in the production of the film. I like being involved in the decision-making process that goes on. I like being involved in the casting, the writing and all of those other aspects", he said. "That's not something I would do if I were playing a small part in a film.
"I like going out to big fires. I don't like to go out and put out a fire in a Dumpster. If I'm going to go roll the engines out, I want a blaze."

The Naked Truth returns to NBC
LOS ANGELES — By the curious logic of TV network programming, The Naked Truth should have been in a coffin long before now. Yet this fall TV viewers will find it on NBC's Monday Ladies' Night.
The Associated Press
To counteract ABC's Monday Night Football, NBC will offer two hours of female-oriented sitcoms: *Suddenly Susan* (starring Brooke Shields) *Fired*
---
Teá Leonl
Up (Sharon Lawrence), Caroline in the City (Lea Thompson), and The Naked Tea (Teá Leoni).
The Naked Truth began two years ago with a full season on ABC, but was not renewed. NBC, however, saw
promise in the show, ordered an overhaul and gave it a half-season run in one of television's greatest time slots, between Seinfeld and ER on Thursday night.
Naturally, the ratings were good. Still, the network ordered another overhaul under a new producer, Michael Saltzman. Now, Leoni, Mark Roberts and Holland Taylor are the only returning cast members.
"The show has had a very checkered history, and not altogether pleasant," Taylor said. "It has been a 'very bumpy night,' as Bette Davis would say."
The original executive producer was Chris Thompson, who worked with Taylor on Bosom Buddies, Tom Hanks' first big splash. Thompson and Leoni, who had just worked with Taylor on a film, Counterfeit Princess, simultaneously suggested Taylor be cast as the editor of The Naked Truth scandal sheet, the Comet.
"The show has had a very checkered history, and not altogether pleasant."

In the first NBC season, Taylor's character was demoted to gossip columnist. Now, she has been hired as editor of a rival tabloid, and she lures her buddy away from the Comet. Not playing an on-screen mother in
Not playing an on-screen mother in the series is a change for Taylor.
Admitting to having passed the
half-century mark, she can boast being the big screen mother to Nicole Kidman in To Die For, Kevin Bacon in She's Having a Baby, Michelle Pfeiffer in One Fine Day, Leslie Mann in George in the Jungle and, upcoming, Jim Carrey in The Truman Show.
That's quite an achievement for someone who has no children and has never married.
"I always thought I would probably end up marrying in my sixties," Taylor said. "I once read an interview with Katharine Hepburn in which she said that she would have been a terrible mother, that there was no way she could be who she was as a professional woman. And that she wouldn't want to do anything that she couldn't do well.
"That really does say what I feel. I've tried to take care of myself, which I'm doing rather well, now that I'm a matron, for heaven's sake. It did take me half a lifetime to figure out it how to do it."
O'Brien laughs his way to the top
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Around 1 a.m., when much of what's on television seems slightly surreal anyway, Conan O'Brien was turning into Robert Plant.
He climbed from behind his desk and shucked his white shirt and tie to reveal a hairy, if slightly doughy, chest and stomach. His pants were slung low on his hips, propped up by a giant belt buckle.
Mimicking the underwater motions of the former Led Zeppelin frontman, O'Brien rendered Dazed and Confused in an otherworldly shriek. Sidekick Andy Richter staggered around as Jimmy Page, trying to mold his baby face into a baleal stare.
O'Brien and his Late Night cast turned it into a sendup of music videos, mixing in mock-medieval
The wickedly funny parody of the pompous 1970s rock band was only a starting point.
footage of a sword fight with George Plimpton, and drummer Max Weinberg riding a horse down a city street.
"It was just jokes on jokes on jokes," O'Brien said later, delighting in the moment even more after an NBC executive confided that he didn't get it.
O'Brien's hitting the comic bull's eye more than ever these days, and not just insomniacs are noticing. NBC took Conan's rising ratings into account in rewarding him this spring with a five-year contract extension. And Paul McCartney offered a late-night interview a few weeks ago to O'Brien — not Jay Leno or David Letterman.
The bad old days, when the scared comedy writer was universally panned as Letterman's replacement, are rapidly receding from memory.
O'Brien's office overlooking Avenue of the Americas in Manhattan is a mix of the ridiculous

and reverential. There's a baseball bat he can swing in frustration — almost a cliché in the offices of television figures — a giant pepper and other toys.
Conan O'Brien
picture of O'Brien shaking hands with Johnny Carson, a shot with Letterman and a framed complimentary letter from Jack Paar, the Tonight Show host who preceded Carson.
O'Brien knew when he accepted the job in 1993 that he couldn't improve on Letterman's ironic style. It was unwise to even try.
The Harvard-educated comic who used to study tapes of Jack Benny wanted to go more classic. With Weinberg, he hired a modern version of Carson's orchestra. He
and Richter dressed up in suits. No grunge look here.
"We thought that there was room to do a talk show that may be goes back a little bit to the goofiness of the '60s and early '70s Carson, but one that plays with reality a little bit, one that has sort of a surreal edge," he said.
That was the idea, anyway.
The execution was another thing entirely. O'Brien can point today to mistakes, like having inpostor guests or letting prepared comedy bits intrude upon interviewsv. But his first months were excruciating largely because a television performer with no experience was getting his training in plain sight.
"I think he always had the goods," said executive producer Lorne Michaels, who selected O'Brien as host. "Just being able to focus it and relax enough to be funny the way he was before the show and after the show took some time."

Art shows paint picture of local cooperation
City, University bond strengthens local art
THIS WATERFILL IS USED FOR TROPHYING.

Kansan staff writer
Staff Photographer / KAN$AN
KU students and Lawrence residents have opportunities on and off campus to experience an array of museums and arts centers in the community.
These institutions could not exist without the cooperation of the community and the University of Kansas.
"There's a very symbiotic relationship between the city of Lawrence and KU," said Gary Toben, president of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.
Ann Evans, director of the Lawrence Arts Center, said KU faculty, administrators and students contributed greatly to the center.

"One of the neat things about Lawrence is that the University and the community work together." Evans said. "On the whole, we are very cooperative and supportive of each other."
She said the Lawrence Arts Center, 200 W. Ninth St., featured KU student exhibits and performances and said many teachers at the center were graduates or professors from the University.
Yours A Good Man

The Lawrence Arts Center cooperates with the Spencer Museum of Art, the Anthropology Museum and the Lied Center.
"We work with the Lied Center and use it for Lawrence Arts Center dance performances at the end of the year," Evans said.
Jackie Davis, director of the Lied Center, said that because of the center, people had the opportunity to see artists they would not normally get to see.
"Philosophically, the Lied Center is part of the community. Its mission is to serve the community, the region and the state," Davis said. "When artists are here for longer periods of time, we try to make them a part of the community so local artists and the visiting artists can have the opportunity to interact with each other."
Work of local artists can be seen in parks throughout Lawrence. Watson Park,above, at Sixth and Tennessee streets and the Lawrence Senior Center, 745 Vermont St., right, display local sculptures.
Davis said the Lied Center also had a partnership with the Lawrence school district. Through the Kennedy Arts Program, the Lied Center holds workshops for students during the year and brings students to the center for free programs.
In addition, some artists go to local schools to work with children. The Lied Center has arranged for opera companies coming to Lawrence to do separate one-hour performances at grade schools.
The Spencer Museum of Art, which has about 65,000 visitors each year, is another important provider of art and education.
Andrea Norris, director of the Spencer Museum of Art, said the museum brought art and artists that normally would not be seen in Lawrence.
This fall, one such exhibit will display traditional basket weaving by an artist from southern Japan.
The museum also provides programs for children each year. Some of these programs are designed so grade school
students can learn about and appreciate art at an early age.

Maria Martin, secretary in the Anthropology Museum, said the University had a strong connection to the community through its Indian Arts Show. Martin said the museum, the Lawrence Arts Center and Haskell Indian Nations University worked together on the Indian Arts Show, which has been held for the past nine years.

She said about 3,000 people came to see each temporary exhibit at the museum.
Beth Huerter, director of visitor services at the Natural History Museum, said the University museums were part of what made Lawrence a rich, strong community.
The Natural History Museum has programs for KU students and the community. The museum has about 200,000 visitors each year.
"Businesses want to come here because it adds to their quality of life. Employees have a richer diversity." Huerter said. "Our museums also set us apart from other schools, which is something we hope students and potential students will remember and appreciate."

Martial arts and boxing no longer just for men
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The manly art of self-defense isn't solely manly any more.
"I hit pretty strongly for a girl," said Rose Johnson, an aspiring professional boxer.
"I had no experience at all," she said. "There is so much to learn, I had no idea — different techniques, different moves, where to be when the punches are thrown."
A unanimous decision against April Wright June 20 in Philadelphia meant a 1-0 record for Johnson, 33 years old and 115 pounds, who started training in January.
Johnson, who fights as a bantamweight or flyweight, trains at a gym in Rockville, Md. There is only one other woman at the gym, so she trains mostly against men, Johnson said.
"What we are seeing is the destruction of the idea of a'boys' thing'or a'girls' thing."
But women are pushing open the gym doors in boxing as they earlier had entered the karate dojo. Johnson sees herself as leading by example: "The women, the more they see it, they are encouraged by it."
Chairman of the martial arts council of the Amateur Athletic Union
Jo Mirza
Women have been learning karate for decades, said Jo Mirza, chair-
"What we are seeing is the destruction of the idea of a 'boys' thing' or a 'girls' thing," said Mirza, who teaches karate in the Chicago suburb of Lake Zurich, Ill. "Women came out of the idea that they can't do martial arts."
man of the martial arts council of the Amateur Athletic Union. Adult karate membership is 32 percent female; youth membership (under 18) is 42 percent female.
The women's movement indirectly helped women start martial arts training by fostering an attitude of "they better let us," Burrows said. The college students she teaches today have a different attitude — they tend to take for granted that they can do anything, she said.
But women had to work their way out of it, said Veronica Burrows, who teaches aikido at Arizona State University, Tempe, where she is also a professor of chemical engineering. Burrows started learning aikido 21 years ago because it was an activity she could do with her boyfriend — now her husband.
"It was (considered) something very odd and weird," Burrows said. "But in the context of doing it with a male partner, it seemed to be OK."
Men and women spar with each other in her dojo. "If women are smaller and slenderer and are perceived as less physically intimidating, they are handled more gently," Burrows said. "Smaller, slenderer, men often get treated more kindly than the big wompers."
There maybe slight differences in the mental approach, Burrows said. "I might occasionally see somewhat more of a tendency of men to get headbutt competitive," she said.
But Johnson does get highly competitive. Seeing a videotape of her fight, "I couldn't believe how focused I was," she said. "I took on a whole different persona. There was nothing feminine about me, and I am a very feminine person."
Billy the Kid brings myth to stage
The Associated Press
ALBUQERUE QUE, N.M. — Why is Billy the Kid still sending off sparks 116 years after the 21-year-old gunfighter was shot to death by Sheriff Pat Garrett?
Why does myth and magic swirl around this one New Mexico cowhand? And why was he beloved in the Hispanic community while despised by many an Anglo?
Writer Rudolfo Anaya, who grew up in Billy the Kid country, has built a play from these musings, and La Casa Teatro is giving Billy the Kid its world premiere run, directed by Cecilia Aragon. It opened July 11.
"As a child I heard stories about Billy the Kid," Anaya says. "The Mexicanos called him el Bilito, the little Billy, Hispanicized Billy. And visiting in
Puerto de Luna as a child, I heard stories which were incidents. A person would say: 'He gambled at the saloon; Billy the Kid rode through here. See that bullet hole in that post or that wall? That's Billy the Kid.'
"So growing up here very close to Fort Sumner, where he's buried, there was always in the back of my mind a sense of familiarity."
Anaya's play, published in 1995 by Warner Books, grew out of that familiarity plus some research. Billy, as the story goes, had a problem backing down from a fight, and that problem was compounded by government corruption that had turned the law in Lincoln County upside down.
"It's just that Billy the Kid popped out as a figure in New Mexico history who has acquired all these mythical proportions. The take on it for me, was to look at it from a Nuevo Mexicano
point of view," says Anaya. "Why were the incidents I heard as a child told with a kind of satisfaction? Why did they call him el Bilito, the little Billy? Why did he have this kind of aura with the Spanish-speaking community?"
Anaya says Billy was accepted by Hispanics because he spoke fluent Spanish and was "simpatico." He was a compadre, almost like family.
"And there's a little bit of that Robin Hood character to him," he says.
At the time, Anglo politicians in Santa Fe were grabbing up Hispanic land, he says.
Anaya's play intersperses two opposing accounts of Billy's life, including one ghostwritten for Garrett by territorial newspaperman Ash Upson and the other by Paco Anaya, who knew the Kid, was present at his 1881 death in Fort Sumner and wrote an account.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Beavis and Butthead book is, like, moronic, heh, heh
By Andy Obermueller Kansan staff writer
I felt guilty laughing at The Butt Files: Beavis and Butthead's Guide to Sci-Fi and the Unknown (Pocket Books, $12). Reasonable people, or at least those able to walk upright, should not laugh at such jejune drivel. The book, like the show, is so utterly debase and crass that the only acceptable response is laughter.
The book is written in the illiterate vernacular of the dim-witted duo, which surprisingly is difficult to read. The Butt Files is wholly irreverent and in bad taste, in line with the show's normal presentation of bathroom humor
Butt-head
Billy.
Spoken English is rich in dialectic variance. The artfully reconstructed speech patterns of African-Americans in Huckleberry Finn or To Kill A Mockingbird required skilled authors with trained ears. Readers, some of whom may never have paid attention to African Americans and their manner of speech, were enlightened by the insight of Mark Twain and Harper Lee.
I can't read the image. It looks like a cartoon face with a tuft of hair.
Beavis
Even the spoof of the Northern accent and dialect in the movie Fargo required some brain wattage of the viewers to decipher the humor.
But Beavis and Butthead's 'dumbspeak' is neither artful nor intellectual. It's just
Everyone has heard someone dumbspeak and
BOOK REVIEW
not been enlightened by it. If I'm going to spend $12 for something dumb, I'll give it to Congressman Jim Ryun's campaign fund.
Beavis and Butthead, in this, their fifth book, attempt to explain mysteries such as the Loch Ness monster, Bigfoot, and "Why Butthead Sucks." Each page contains a reference to pornography, genitalia or scoring.
Removal of the "heh-heh-heh," "sucks," "nads" and other innumerable vulgarities would happily reduce the size of the book. "Uhh" and "heh-heh" account for about 23 percent of the copy. No subject, of course, is taken seriously, and no substantial humor is ever presented.
For example, the section explaining genetic engineering, spelled "engine-earring," begins, "Umm, heh-heh, genetic engine-earring is when scientific dudes do experiments on animals. They like, put 'em together scientifically and, like, make brand-new animals out of em, heh-heh."
That the authors, show writers Greg Grabianski and Aimee Kellor, recognized "brand-new" was a compound modifier and that "like" should be in apposition and offset by commas is especially telling.
It's disturbing that a livelihood can be made by literate writers who whore what famed editing professor John Bremner called "this beautiful bastard language."
The meretricious marketers at MTV have distributed Beavis and Butthead's noisemaker likeness on video games, CD-ROMs, lunch boxes and t-shirts. There are more Internet links to Cornholio than there are to Al Gore.
Aren't we surrounded by enough stupidity without invading the last bastion of intelligence, the bookstore? Can we hold nothing sacred?
A Beavis-and-Butthead book is, at best, an oxymoron. He-heh. He said. "moron."
Or something.
NEW YORK — Television is humming a new toon. Lots of toons, in fact.
Let Disney stockholders whine how *Hercules* hasn't proved as heroic at the box office as expected. On television, animation is showing unprecedented muscle.
The Associated Press
Range, too. From the cuddlesome "Rugrats" on Nickelodeon to the racy HBO romp "Spicy City," from the nutty calm of "Dr. Katz: Professional Therapist" to the delectable gross-out of "Beavis and Butt-head," toons are all over the TV landscape.
Cartoons characters animate TV networks
The lone new hit on any broadcast network last season? Fox's animated spoof of suburbia, "King of the Hill."
The most talked-about upcoming series? The animated "South Park," a sort of "Peanuts" with a potty mouth that premieres in August on Comedy Central.
This month, the Cartoon Network, epicenter of animation's movers and shakers, has added two new half-hour series to its weeknight lineup: "Johnny Bravo" and "Cow & Chicken."
In addition, the channel is unveiling new segments of its popular "Dexter's Laboratory."
The Cartoon Network is, of course, a virtual mecca for all manner of animated species. Owned by Turner Broadcasting System (and hence by Time Warner), its vast library accommodates everyone from Bugs Bunny to Scooby Doo to Fred Flintstone.
For children and adults alike, toon time is 8 p.m. EDT, Monday through Friday.
Please Recycle your Kansan
But the network is also a breeding ground for new toons.
"We're ramping up on the original programming side," said Cartoon Network president Betty Cohen.
"If the character in a cartoon was funny, another cartoon would be
She explained the network has taken its cue from bygone days, when cartoons were produced not in wholesale lots for series television but, one by one, to appear at movie houses as a warm-up for the feature.
"We figured if we really want to create enduring characters, not just flash-in-the-paseries, we should consider that same approach." Betty Cohen

made with that same character," Cohen said. "This way, a character could be tinkered with and evolve over time.
"We figured if we really want to create enduring characters, not just flash-in-the-pan series, we should consider that same approach."
—With his buff physique and strawberry-blond pompadour, the title character of "Johnny Bravo" (aired each Monday) cuts quite a figure. Unfortunately, women agree the figure is zero.
It seems to be working. In fact, the network-commissioned "World Premiere Toons" development effort spawned the prototype cartoons that grew into the "Johnny Bravo," "Cow & Chicken" and "Dexter's Laboratory" series;
At the same time, Johnny's dolitish grandiosity makes him lovable to viewers. After all, they can enjoy his bluster and rebuffs from a comfortable distance.
That is, Johnny is a washout with the ladies, who are clearly unimpressed by his Elvis-like swagger, shades and "oooh. mama" come-on.
—Tuesday brings "Cow & Chicken," which proposes that a scrawny, irascible chicken could be big brother to a 400-pound cow who, despite her predolescence, has a bodacious udder that's always getting in the way.
These unlikely siblings are the children of human parents and attend public school with their human chums. Oddly enough, the fact that they are farm animals never comes up.
—Wednesday, "Dexter's Laboratory" presents new tales of the gnatsize boy genius with the unaccountably Slavic accent and his bandy-legged big sister Dee Dee. Back for a second season, "Dexter" last year was the Cartoon Network's highest-rated series.
—Thursday, "What a Cartoon!
Show" highlights previously aired
"World Premiere Toons" shorts.
—And Friday, you can see it all again in a two-hour block of repeats. The Cartoon Network's nightly 8 o'clock showcase, which launched last week, helped prompt a TV Guide issue celebrating "Animation's New Wave."
Meanwhile, the hip West Coast magazine Buzz has proclaimed "Toons Rule!" In Good Housekeeping, former Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan hailed "The Simpsons" as the realest show on TV.
And a New Yorker column declared that cartoons on TV have become the form in which we permit ourselves to enjoy poignancy and sass and human weirdness.
No wonder. Cartoons are immune to actors' egos and exempt from nature's physical laws.
Cartoons are also liberated from the rut entrapping most TV comedy. They are a zero-base endeavor. Each toon originates as blank frames where the lines, colors and motion can be introduced according to the artist's vision.
By contrast, before you even come up with an idea for your new sitcom, you're likely to be saddled with a star, a living room and a laugh track. With all the preconditions, how could most sitcoms NOT be like every other?

Aussie comedy coming to USA
Love Serenade offers new twist on life, loves
The Associated Press
Love Serenade is a movie that could not be made anywhere but in Australia, that breeding ground for unique, quirky films that are somehow different from anything we have seen before.
Think Muriel's Wedding and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
Absurd, bizarre and touching,
Love Serenade is a black comedy
as far from Hollywood sensibilities
as the planet Mars.
This is the story of Dimity and
Vicki-Ann Hurley, two very odd sisters living in a mythical Australian backwater town called Sunray.
The town, as seen through the camera of writer-director Shirley Barrett, is a place of empty expanses mirroring the arid lives of its characters — a waltress and a hairdresser with naive notions of what love's all about.
It is no wonder that the arrival of a new neighbor in their suffocating environment is enough to turn the girls' world topsy-turvy.
The neighbor is a glum, lanky, long-faced man named Ken Sherry, a disc jockey from the big city who has retreated from Brisbane drive-time radio to become the one-man voice of Sunray radio
Sherry, as played by George Shevtsov, is a truly creepy character. But he mesmerizes the town
and the two sisters with his repertoire of Barry White songs, including Love Serenade.
This thrice-divorced, washed-up DJ, who is about as sexy as a fish, is selling a sexual message, and the girls are ready to buy.
Dimity, played by Miranda Otto,
and Vicki-Ann, played by Rebecca
Frith, each are smitten with the
new man in town.
Dimity, an awkward, colorless little mouse, is dominated by her flashier sister, the hairdresser who keeps a wedding gown on hand at all times, just in case.
Thrown into a competition for Sherry's attentions, the sisters eventually come to discover that there is something weird about this man. Really weird.
The discovery turns them and the movie in a direction that is part
John Waters, part horror movie. The secret of Barrett's directorial success is that she makes the horrific seem ordinary and funny at the same time.
There is an anti-male underpinning to this story that may bother some viewers, although it is slightly relieved by the comic character of Albert Lee, a Chinese restaurant operator who employs Dimity, longs after Vicki-Ann and knows Ken Sherry is trouble from the way he orders his food.
The oddball ending to this oddball comedy may be a bit over the top. But it's daring and outrageous, a welcome combination.
Love Serenade, from Miramax Films, is produced by Jane Campion, the New Zealand writer and director of the critically acclaimed movie The Piano.

Movie examines gay-bashing death
Any Mother's Son tested crew with emotions, time
The Hajdys story, "Any Mother's Son," is on the Lifetime Channel with Bonnie Bedelia delivering a profound performance as the distraught, confused and then
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Some news stories are tailor-made for television movies, none more so than the ordeal of a Chicago mother who fought a U.S. Navy coverup of her son's brutal murder in Japan by two gay-bashing fellow sailors.
It happened to Dorothy Hajdys, a single parent and factory worker who faced three wrenching issues: the loss of her son, her own homophobic feelings and the Navy's stonewalling of the facts of his death.
resolute mother.
The Hajdys' story, Any Mother's Son, is on the Lifetime Channel, with Bonnie Bedelia delivering a profound performance as the distraught, confused and then resolute mother.
"I recall when it happened," Bedelia said during a visit here from her Seattle home. "It hit the news pretty heavy, especially the whole coverup aspect. I
remember the big piece on it, which I reviewed just before we began shooting.
"I hadn't met Dorothy Hajyds until she came for a visit on the set in Toronto. We carefully picked the day when nothing heavy was going on."
The New York-born actress described making Any Mother's Son as a punishing challenge. The emotion was relentless, with long hours and few breaks in the shooting schedule.
"After work, I went back to the hotel, had a bowl of soup and crashed," she said. "There was no other way to do it other than staying with it the whole way through.
"It's very rough to shoot something like this in 18 days. When I first made a television movie back in the '70s, there were 24
days. The time slot was an hour and a half so, with commercials, the running time was a little over an hour."
But the cast did have the weekend to recover. Except for Sada Thompson and Hedy Burgess (Boston Common), the other performers and the crew were Canadians — and union rules precluded a six-day work week.
Her most notable films were the first two Die Hard movies, playing the wife of Bruce Willis.
Bedelia, 45, has specialized in emotional roles, dating back to 1982 and Heart Like a Wheel, in which she played another real-life character, race-car driver Shirley Muldowney.
Bedelia started performing professionally as a teen-ager. Having won a full scholarship to the School of American Ballet,
she appeared in a playhouse 90 version of The Nutcracker. Her first films came in 1969 with The Gypsy Moths (Burt Lancaster, Deborah Kerr) and They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" (Jane Fonda).
In recent years, she has been a steady performer in television movies — mostly domestic dramas, such as Alex, the Life of a Child, Switched at Birth and Sins of the Mother.
Three years ago, she married actor Michael MacRae, who had moved to Seattle 10 years before.
"He loves Seattle, and I didn't especially like Los Angeles as a place to live," she said. "My kids were grown, and I was actually thinking of moving back to New York, which is my hometown. Life does take its course."

Studies may reveal powers of nicotine
Duke researcher wants to make quitting possible
The Associated Press
Jed Rose of Duke University runs one of the country's leading laboratories designed to learn exactly how nicotine grips most of the nation's 46 million smokers. Government figures indicate that 419,000 people die annually from smoking-related illnesses.
DURHAM, N.C. — At a school in a city built on the country's appetite for cigarettes, a researcher is unlocking the secrets needed to wean smokers offtobacco.
The hows and whys of nicotine addiction intrigue the 45-year-old psychiatrist and motivate research at the Nicotine Research Center.
Rose works at an office just a short drive from the headquarters of cigarette maker Liggett Group and for a university founded on tobacco money.
"The basic question is why people want the things they want. Why do people really pursue them," Rose said. "I got hooked on nicotine research."
"He's absolutely at the forefront of using medication to help people quit smoking," said Jaylan Turkkan, chief of the behavioral sciences research branch at the National Institute on Drug Abuse in Rockville, Md.
His patients are tested as they use patches and inhalers to help stop the urge to smoke. Some experiments use resolution imaging of brain receptors to determine where nicotine spreads with each puff. Rose also is working on a promising patch-and-pill combination.
"The basic question is why people want the things they want. Why do people really pursue them."
Even with all the medicines and tests, most patients don't succeed. Ernie Smith of Raleigh started a cessation program in hopes of ending a 50-year habit. He made it to four weeks, until he and his wife separated.

Duke University
At his weekly test, the retired IBM employee blows into the smoker's equivalent of a lie detector, a machine showing the amount of carbon monoxide in the lungs. He admits to smoking a few cigarettes a day.
"It's kind of hard to give up an old friend," a frustrated 65-year-old Smith told Rose.
If the tentative $368 billion tobacco settlement reached in June is approved and provides smokers with money for programs to kick the habit, the center's findings on nicotine and the smoking ritual will help determine ways to use the funding wisely.
"My worry is always that people make the false assumption that somehow we have the answers and that we have the treatment," Rose said.
The truth, Rose said, is that while much is known about nicotine, the active chemical that gives cigarettes their power is still a mystery.
Why can some people light up only occasionally while others never can seem to grind out that last butt?
"It's a hard habit to break," said grocery clerk Brian Tapp of Raleigh, dragging on a Basic cigarette while taking a break from his job. "I've tried the chewing gum, and that didn't work. And I've tried the patch, and that kept falling off, so I suit that, too."
Answers are discovered with patients like Tony Micale, a accountant who smoked his first cigarette at age 8. He and 400 others are part of a study combining nicotine patches and a medication called mecamylamine, which was designed as a blood pressure controller. The drug has shown promise in reducing the satisfaction of smoking.
Micale, 41, said he hasn't lit up since the therapy began last September.
The body absorbs nicotine through receptors in places like the brain and lungs. A nicotine patch provides that chemical to the receptors without the tar and smoke of cigarettes. And according to an earlier, smaller study, mecamylamine actually blocks receptors, thereby reducing the craving to light up.
The results are encouraging. Thirty-four percent of the nation's smokers try to quit each year, but only 2.5 percent succeed. Using the nicotine patch, the cessation rate is about 15 percent. Preliminary results show that with the patch-mecamylamine combination, the success rate climbs to 40 percent.
Rose hopes to win U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval for the combination in a year or two.
His research goes beyond chemicals to a study of the ritual of smoking.
"The typical run-of-the-mill smoker has had thousands and thousands of pairings between smoking a cigarette and getting some sort of pleasurable effect," Rose said. "And those pathways have been hammered over and over. But then you give them a patch. There's something that doesn't give him any of the taste and any of the rituals."

Broadway productions shine since Tony awards
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — In the dog days of summer, only the strongest shows survive on Broadway.
The most startling success story in the nearly two months since the June 1 awards ceremony is *Titanic*, which won the coveted best-musical prize in a crowded year that saw five musicals open the week before the Tony-nomination deadline.
Close behind was the best-play winner The Lost Night of Ballyhoo by Alfred Uhry, which got a box-office boost from the award.
And among the other shows helped at the box-office by the Tonys were Barrymore, which earned lead Christopher Plummer an acting trophy; Ibsen's A Doll's House, a revival that made Janet McTeer a Broadway star; and Chicago, which was a big hit before the Tonys and an even bigger hit afterward.
"This past season had about as active a spring as the theater has experienced in years," said Michael David of Dodger Productions, one of the producers of *Titanic*. "There were so many choices. Everybody was suffering from the fact that there were
show has momentum or not. *Titanic* clearly did. Not to mention a favorable, if quiet word of mouth.
"This past season had about as active a spring as the theater has experienced in years."
"We had, in spite of everything, some pretty serious moment. We were wrapping $100,000 a day, give or take $5,000 or $10,000, by the time we got to the Tonys," said David. "Audiences were enthusiastic. I think what the Tony did was empower theatergoers to yell their enthusiasm."
more shows than there were audiences."
Those that didn't get any recognition quickly expired; musicals like Steel Pier, a $7.5 million flop, Dream and Play On!, which didn't even wait for the Tony nominations to fold, and plays like The Young Man From Atlanta by Horton Foote and Wendy Wasserstein's An American Daughter.
All of them needed the Tony's if they were to flourish, and, considering the subject matter, the $10 million Titanic seemed the least likely of the lot. When several Titanic previews were canceled or stopped in mid-performance because of technical problems, headline writers had a field day with the verb "to sink."
Coupled with mostly mixed-to-negative reviews, *Titanic* seemed destined for a less-than-length run. Yet a funny thing happened to the musical on its way to a closing notice: Its wraps started rising.
A similar situation occurred at Ballyhoo, Uhry's.
Michael David Dodger Productions
"Wraps" — Broadway ling for the daily take from box office and credit-card sales — can determine if a
on occurred at Bautyhoo, Unry's sentimental comedy about a Jewish family in 1939 Atlanta coming to terms with their roots and each other.
"Now audiences come in ready to laugh," said Jane Harmon, one of the producers of Ballyhoo. "The Tonys gave them permission. It was the seal of approval."
The play, which arrived in February, opened to a condescending notice from The New York Times, making its ability to attract serious theatergoers more difficult.
"Word of mouth sustained us—and the fact that we were very conservative with our running costs." Harmon said.
Weekly grosses for the show increased after the Tony win, pushing more than $200,000 for
a show that had been doing substantially less. Its $1.2 million production costs are expected to be recouped before the end of next season.
Before the Tonys, Titanic had a $1.7 million advance; now it is more than $5 million. The week after the Tonys, Ballyjoo had doubled its advance, and it keeps building, said Harmon, who declined to reveal specific figures.
The day after the Tony's, *Titanic* wrapped $355,000 and then settled down to do between $150,000 and $200,000 a day since then, consistently higher than other hits such as Tommy, Guys and Dolls and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. For the week ending July 20, *Titanic* played to 99 percent capacity at the Lunt-Fontanne Theater, grossing a record $676,507.
Also helping both shows was the dramatic increase in viewers for this year's broadcast of the Tonys. Ratings for the CBS broadcast were substantially higher — more than 45 percent — than last year's figures.
News president wants to bolster credibility, pride
The Associated Press
CBS ready for ratings
NEW YORK — Instead of standing behind the television lights, CBS News President Andrew Heyward was in front of them. And it was getting mighty hot.
The news conference to announce that Rep. Susan Molinari would be the host of a Saturday morning broadcast had turned, let's say, unusually hostile.
How could the network of Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite assign someone with no experience to host a news show, someone who didn't even pretend to be a journalist?
Heyward was taken aback. He knew hiring Molinari was a bold move that would provoke some skeptical questions. But nothing like this.
Could viewers trust the reporting of a network employing a person who had delivered the Republican National Convention keynote speech only months before? Could Molinari interview her pal Newt Gingrich with any semblance of objectivity?
"I think what people were responding to was: It's not your old CBS News," he said weeks later.
No, it certainly isn't. And maybe Molinari's hiring will serve as Heyward's watershed — either a lightning bolt of genius that helps pull the division back to glory, or yet one more befuddled move by an organization that once stood at the pinnacle of broadcast journalism.
Either way, Andrew Heyward clearly isn't afraid to roll the dice.
Heyward would seem an unlikely candidate to shake up CBS News. He's practically a lifer, joining the New York affiliate WCBS-TV as a
What he did say was, in effect. 'Look, we're going to get back to the CBS News we used to know.'
Mike Wallace 60Minutes
news writer in 1976, four years out of Harvard. He quickly rose to executive producer of the evening newscast and was about to defect to ABC when Dan Rather stepped in and got him a network job in 1981.
Heyward worked on Rather's broadcast, developed 48 Hours and produced Connie Chung's news magazine. He was executive producer of the CBS Evening News when he was elevated to news division president in January 1996.
He took over after years of costcutting had sapped the ranks of talent and morale. CBS News wasn't a leader anymore; it was behind ABC and NBC in both ratings and reputation.
Mike Wallace remembers the day Heyward came to address the troops at 60 Minutes, a link to the news division's best years and its only consistent success story now.
"What he did say was, in effect, 'Look, we're going to get back to the CBS News we used to know. It's going to be a hard chore, it's going to take time, it's going to take money. But if you are patient, you will regain the same sort of pride you used to have."
"Whether he's going to be capable of delivering that, candidly, I don't know," Wallace said. "All I know is
he knows what job has to be done."
What job has we done here?
Heyward has nudged the old lions at 60 Minutes, urging them to compete fresh stories in the summer to compete with rival news magazines and bringing in Christiane Amanpour and Bob Simon as part-time correspondents.
But 60 Minutes was the least of his worries. Rather's evening broadcast, the morning show and the network's other news magazine all needed his attention.
Heyward and Rather set out trying to make CBS's evening program the most respected program, with Rather and NBC's Tom Brokaw even rumbling publicly about who deserved the mantle of King of Hard News. To some eyes, CBS's broadcast has become sharper in the past year; the ratings show it a close but consistent third.
After years of fruitlessly trying to compete with Today and Good Morning America with the same format, Heyward has tried something new in the early hours. This Morning turns its first hour over to local news, with some national cutins. Ratings are up, slightly.
And 48 Hours has gone back to its original format, trying to capture the drama of a single story in an hour. Not many people are likely to notice, though. In a time slot against NBC's ER and, this fall, ABC's 20/20, the joke at CBS is that the show has gone from the worst time period in television to the worst time period in television history.
Then there's Bryant Gumbel's news magazine, which premieres this fall.
Heyward, who talks in the quick, caffeine-fueled cadences common to newsrooms and constantly rewinds to edit himself, likens his job to a circus performer who keeps plates spinning on a stick. And each stick needed a hard spin.
"The idea of settling down and focusing on just one thing would seem like a wonderful luxury right now," he said.

NON-ALCOHOL
Continued from Page 1D
Ruth Engs, professor of applied health science at Indiana University, said she believed the drinking age should be lowered to 19. Engs, who studies drinking, said alcohol education needed to be taught in health programs at the high-school level before students went away to college.
"We are a drinking culture," Engs said. "If people choose to do a behavior, then they need to be taught how to do it in a moderate, safe way. The same goes for sex and other activities."
Ambler said he had been working with the KU Panhellenic Association to control alcohol abuse within the greek system. He said Matt Tessier, Greek program alcohol and risk management educator, attended Greek parties to make sure alcohol-related problems were kept at a minimum.
Ambler said he was pleased to hear that Sigma Nu and Phi Delta Theta fraternities had decided to ban alcohol from their houses by the year 2000. But he said he was worried this action might do more harm than good.
"Forcing kids into cars to go off campus to use alcohol is not a wise thing," he said. "I worry about being too stringent, but I am glad to see fraternities and sororites addressing the problem. At least we are raising students' consciousness about the abuse of alcohol."
Saturday, 11:15 p.m.
We are unable to find any signs of the party. We are forced to resort to our fallback plan: a local bar. There are not as many people at the bar as usual, but we hear that it will pick up at midnight. My friends order drinks, and I ask the bartender for my usual, a free Coke. My friend's roommate, who is drinking beer from two separate cups, sees me enjoying my Coke.
"Can I have a sip?" he says sarcastically. I walk away with an empty feeling. I look around the bar and see everyone enjoying their drinks. I get the feeling that people are staring at me because I'm drinking only Coke. I feel that if I buy a beer, I'll be able to fit in better with the crowd.
name from across the room and waves me over. That empty feeling quickly goes away.
McKinney, who has many friends who drink regularly, said most people respected his choice not to drink.
"As long as people respect me as a nondrinker, I will respect them as drinkers," he said.
Suddenly, my friend Kendall yells mu
McKinney said people were often shocked that he did not drink because he had an outgoing personality.
"Usually people don't say anything to my face, but sometimes, people treat me like I'm being rude because I'm not partaking with them." McKinney said. "But I don't care."
Ambler said the social stigma attached to non-drinkers was not as strong as it used to be because of the many alcohol awareness programs available.
"Part of a college education is helping people learn that it is OK to be themselves," he said. "What you do with the alcohol education is try to enforce these beliefs."
Dan Lu, Overland Park junior, has never had an alcoholic beverage, and he has no problem telling people he does not drink. "Sometimes I feel like I might be missing out on something, but deep down inside, I know I will not regret missing out on it." he said.
La said he sometimes felt he was the only non-drinker in the world.
"I wonder sometimes if I'm on a personal quest to prove to the world that you can still have fun even if you don't drink," he said.
Ambler agreed with La that it was difficult to go through college without drinking.
"Nineteen-year-olds have been taught that this is how you have fun," he said. "To be able to show that you can have a good time without alcohol is difficult in our society when its use is so prevalent."
Sunday, 12:30 a.m.
More people pile into the bar. I spot four friends who have just started on their first drinks. We talk about a movie they saw and what their plans are for the summer. Suddenly, bright lights turn on above the bar, and I see people rush to throw their drinks into trash cans. I ask Chris what is happening.
"The police are on their way here," he says.
Chaos erupts for about two minutes as underage drinkers down their drinks and dispose of the cups. The cops leave after
Sgt. Susan Hadd of the Lawrence Police Department said the department targeted bars on nights that were known for underage drinking. She said she thought police presence at bars and parties was a positive way to deter underage drinking.
five minutes without making arrests or handing out citations. The bar returns to normal.
It showed the drinking laws were being enforced, she said.
Hadl said she wished the department had more manpower, so it could go into bars more often.
"Our time is dictated by calls," she said. "When there are more pressing matters, it becomes less of a priority."
The majority of individuals who police catch drinking underage are issued notices to appear in court rather than arrested.
Tom Porter, a Lawrence city prosecutor,
said the typical penalty for underage drinkers who were found guilty was a $100 fine with a suspended jail sentence. He said these individuals then had to take an alcohol evaluation test, which also costs $100. The test determines whether they have the potential for developing drinking problems.
Porter said he dealt with about 10 underage drinking cases each month and that it was difficult to control the situation.
"I definitely think we have to enforce the law," he said. "But I don't think it is a problem that we can ever resolve."
The bar is about to close and we are tired. My friends are buzzing, but I think they're too tired to feel the effects. We cram into my car for a difficult drive home. I see a police car coming down Jayhawk Boulevard ahead of me.
Sunday, 2:00 a.m
"Guys, get down!" I say.
As I search for a parking spot, I reflect on the evening. Even though I didn't drink, I had a great time with my friends. I often hear people talk about the fun they have when drinking, but I am enjoying my time at the University without it.
"Hey guys, we have to do this again," Kendall says, as we reach Ellsworth. "There's bound to be a party next weekend."
There's bound to be a party next weeka.
"That'll be great," I say, "but we're taking separate cars. I don't think mine can take much more of this."
Sam Rockwell is famished, even though he's been scarfing down hors d'oeuvres all afternoon.
It's not that the finger food isn't substantial. Today's script requires the 28-year-old actor to nibble only while the cameras roll. No swallowing.
Actor takes indie center stage
The Associated Press
Such is life on the set of a low-budget, independent film.
"I've been trained well," laughs the amiable Rockwell, who stars opposite John Turturro in the sweetly unpretentious Box of Moonlight, directed by Tom DiCillo of cult-hit Johnny Suede fame.
Rockwell was still relatively
unproven when DiCillo took a shine to the boyish actor, casting him four years ago as the oddball, Davy Crockett costume-wearing Kid.
Even when the project stalled in 1994, DiCillo never wavered from his choice. "His loyalty is such a rarity," Rockwell says with genuine fondness. "He could have gone with so many different people. He just stuck with me."
"It's a dream role," Rockwell says. "There's no question."
Viewers will understand why. Rockwell is captivating as Kid, who owns neither credit card nor driver's license, lives "off the grid" in a trailer out in the woods and makes his living stealing and reselling lawn ornaments.

system has been trying to change their animal house image. They have decreased the number of people allowed to attend their social functions and support many programs to promote alcohol awareness on campus.
In the future, Tessier said he would like to see all fraternity chapters substance-free. Sigma Nu and Phi Delta Theta have agreed. He said this would create a cleaner, safer, quieter house with lower liability.
"By having alcohol out of the house, you decrease the amount of drinking per person," he said.
Newville said alcohol eventually would not be allowed in fraternities.
"I think it's going to be inevitable in time, but the enforcement of a rule like that is going to be really
hard," he said.
Danny Chezem, Olathe junior and non-greek, that greets get bad publicity because they are in the spotlight.
"Everyone else is drinking too, you just don't hear about it as much," he said.
Brady Womboit, Overland Park senior and a friend of Mike's, said going out was normal for most college students.
"All my friends are big partiers," he said, "We just enjoy ourselves, but no more than others."
Julie Francis of the Health Promotions and Education department at Watkins Memorial Health Center said that there were many programs to help students become aware of alcohol abuse.
During October and March, her department sponsors week-long events which focus on educating students about alcohol dangers. Francis said these programs were designed to prevent careless
use of alcohol.
"I think the whole attitude needs to change regarding alcohol," she said. "We are never going to get rid of alcohol. There are so many people who are able to drink alcohol and not suffer any problems."
Francis said she would like to reach the 10 percent to 15 percent of the college population considered alcoholics.
By the end of the night, Mike seems more relaxed. He leans up at the bar and laughs while he talks to his buddies. When some girls approach, his smile widens and he runs his hand through his messy hair as he swallows the rest of his brew. He sets his glass down while talking. The bartender, knowing what he wants, fills it up.
Mike believes that when he finishes school he won't drink like he does now.
"Basically, it's the atmosphere that has the biggest affect on how much I drink," he said.

Gritty 187 commands attention
Story of inner-city school teaches valuable lesson
The Associated Press
Trevor Garfield works in a war zone — a school so torn by violence and hate that the building shakes with hostility.
But Trevor loves teaching. Better still, he loves teaching science. Talking about amoebas puts a spring in his stride, and demonstrating physics makes him rhapsodize. And then a kid he flunks stabs him in the back and leaves him for dead.
A lot more than Trevor's health slips away with that assault in the hallway of a Brooklyn high school — he also loses his spirit and his enthusiasm for his profession.
Warner Bros.' 187, directed by Kevin Reynolds, makes an important and impassioned statement with a breathtaking performance by Samuel L. Jackson as the embattled Trevor Garfield. It also is a frightening look at
public education today.
Trevor survives the vicious attack and leaves his job. A year later, emotionally shaken but still committed to teaching, he becomes a substitute science teacher in Los Angeles. And he steps into a despairingly familiar scene: a school ruled by fear and violence, a place where kids would rather
A. H. BROWN
Samuel Jackson
fight than learn and will sue any teacher who acts in self-defense against their attacks.
Trevor meets teachers who equate working in the inner-city high school with crawling through the jungles of Vietnam or dodging bullets in the Persian Gulf. His classroom is one of a series of bungalows off the main building — small, dirty, hot concrete boxes with ratty furniture and bad lighting.
But more has changed in Trevor than his spirit. There's a darkening of his soul, as though a light has gone out and been replaced
by a neon glare that washes out all color, all joy. Even his lab experiments now have a hardened edge — to demonstrate the effects of drugs, he shoots up a lab mouse with morphine.
And there's a far more insidious, calculating twist to Trevor, as he takes the codes of Hammurabi to glorious new heights. The title alone should give you a clue: 187 is the police radio code in Los Angeles for homicide.
With its almost formula characters — gang thugs, burned-out teachers, etc. — 187 easily could have slipped into the typical violent-urban-classroom drama of such movies as The Substitute or The Principal and emerge as just another B-movie. But what sets it apart is a bone-chilling curveball tossed by screenwriter Scott Yagemann, himself a former teacher, and Reynolds' tough direction.
You won't easily forget the final scenes of 187. Nor will you forget Jackson's stunning performance, a performance worthy of an Academy Award nomination.
187 was produced by Bruce Davey and Stephen McEveety and is rated R for graphic violence and strong language.
Outdoor enthusiast turns PBS spotlight to nature
Anyplace Wild showcases thrills of adventure spots
Associated Press Writer
CAMDEN, Maine — People often tell outdoor enthusiast John Viehman that his life must be a perpetual vacation, and he is seldom inclined to disagree.
"My only response is 'Yes, I kind of planned it that way,' " Viehman said with a
planned it that way twinkle in his eye. His formula: Find out what you truly love to do and then come up with a way to make a living doing it.
PETER HENRY
John Vlehman
For Viehman, executive editor of Backpacker magazine, that means hiking, canoeing, ice climbing or other self-propelled outdoors pursuits that
he shares with viewers of his new Public Broadcasting Service series, Anyplace Wild.
The job takes Viehman and co-host Annie Getchell on outings of a week or more in wilderness locations ranging from the Boundary Waters of Minnesota to the High Sierra of California and the steamy jungles of Belize.
Their adventures stretch the notion of vacation: a grueling 8 1/2-mile canoe portage, an attack by killer bees and a backwoods meal of live grubworms — maggots, in Viehman's parlance — are among the memories likely to linger the longest.
In choosing Camden, Viehman put himself on familiar turf. The Minnesota native lived here for five years in the early 1980s while he served as editor and publisher of Canoe magazine, the publication he went to work for straight out of college.
Even when they return to the office, Viehman, Getchell and their production crew remain in a vacation setting. Anyplace Wild, the first national series presented by Maine Public Television, is based in this picturesque tourist town along Penobscot Bay.
Wisconsin-born Getchell, who worked with Viehman at Canoe, lives in Camden with her husband Dave, the series editor for Amplace Wild.
The program made its debut in June with a one-hour special on canoeing the Boundary Waters that traced the story of the French Canadian fur traders, or Voyageurs, who traversed Lake Superior during the 1800s. The series continues through the summer with 13 half-hour episodes.
Vleihman, host of PBS' popular Trailside series through three seasons, said Anyplace Wild redefined the genre for outdoor programs. Whereas Trailside took a basic how-to approach to activities such as backpacking or kayaking, the new series weaves in an array of elements that would likely pull in a broader range of viewers.
"We're taking trips, but we're not just going out and looking for adrenaline," he said. "What we're trying to do is embrace what I call the texture of the outdoor experience."
That means incorporating material about
"We're taking trips, but we're not just going out and looking for adrenaline. What we're trying to do is embrace what I call the texture of the outdoor experience."
John Viehman host, Anyplace Wild
natural history and wildlife, guides and experts, weather considerations, specialized equipment, and local history and culture to tell the story in a lively and entertaining way.
After kayaking Utah's Green River, for example, Viehman was joined on a river raft by a string quartet from the Los Angeles Philharmonic that performs the music of Dvorak in a canyon amphitheater.
"We're mixing a lot of things up," Viehman said. "Each week, we're going someplace where we're not quite sure what's going to happen. And so, there's an element of risk, or surprise."
One of the biggest surprises came when a swarm of killer bees ambushed the crew during the filming of the two-segment adventure in Belize. Fortunately, no one developed serious reactions to the stings.
Pain also was part of the 81/2-mile grand portage in which Viehman, accompanied during the Boundary Waters trip by his brother Tom, hefted a canoe and gear over muddy trails, retracing the steps of Canada's piloneers.
Dining on live grubworms was one of the skills Viehm and Getchell mastered during their week under the tutelage of a master survivalist in California's Golden Trout Wilderness.
How did the grubworms taste?
"Unseasoned tofu with a shrimp-like shell" Viehman assessed.
"I consider myself as sort of the designated AHB — your Average Human Being," he said. "I'm not like any super-fit testosterone-charged guy, and Annie's certainly not."
Viehman, boyish at 43 despite his gray hair, tries to make his adventures accessible to his audience and doesn't see himself possessed of outdoor skills beyond the reach of most.
The crew has begun filming its second season, which will include a trip to Scotland that has Viehman sea kayaking along the coast and Getchell trekking along the moors and highlands.
Viehman said Anplace Wild distilled its first 13 episodes from an initial field of 300 to 400 possibilities, and he said he didn't ever foresee the program being drained of ideas.
"Anywhere you can go anyplace wild," he said, " there's a story and there a trip."
Scream makes noise among film producers Movie industry capitalizes on revival of horror genre
With a reported $100 million theatrical gross and the No. 1 spot on the video rental charts, Scream has resuscitated the horror genre, nearly moribund a decade ago.
And it has further established Miramax's exploitation film label, Dimension Films, as among Hollywood's biggest surprise stories.
"In terms of putting Dimension on the map, Scream did it," says the film's co-producer, Cary Woods.
Once a purveyor of crummy B-movies such as Children of the Corn 2 and Hellraiser III, Mirramax's violent sister label now is turning out relatively sophisticated scary movies worthy of critical attention, including the rampaging mutant cockroach movie Mimic, opening Aug. 22.
Dimension's Scream 2, a highly anticipated sequel, should be in theaters by Dec.12,and upcoming titles include Nightwatch and Phantoms.
LOS ANGELES — One Miramax movie is among the most beloved romantic epics in years and swept the Academy Awards.
The other Miramax title is a bloody low-budget slasher film whose biggest prize was an MTV Movie Award.
Miramax, a part of the Walt Disney Co., has no plans to get out of the art film business. But the returns for so-called genre films have changed Dimension's profile from an interesting hobby to powerful industry force. Once content to buy finished films and snap up rights to horror franchises, Dimension now is producing up to 90 percent of its own product — a mix of horror and action, science-fiction and urban films.
Dimension is concurrently attracting some unusual talent.
Steven Soderbergh, the maker of the groundbreaking art film sex, lies and videotape, wrote the script for Nightwatch. Quentin Tarantino, who wrote and directed Pulp Fiction, is planning several Dimension productions, and Chasing Amy filmmaker Kevin Smith has told Dimension he has quite a few thriller ideas.
By all accounts, The English Patient should have clobbered Scream, and yet the grisly thriller is proving far more popular in domestic theaters and video stores.
"They're extremely open-minded about talent," says Robert Newman, an agent at International Creative Management who has several clients making Dimension films. Adds Woods: "A lot of talented filmmakers who might not have contemplated making a film in the genre now might."
The Associated Press
In fact, Scream is more profitable than almost any 1996 movie outside of Independence Day, if you look at cost vs. return.
Wes Craven, the veteran horror director who made Scream, says audiences grew tired of scary movies because the films were shallow, repetitive. "It's a genre that can be so lucrative and such a machine money (that) it falls into the hands of people who are more interested in the money than the movie," Craven said from the set of the Scream sequel.
"There hasn't been anything new in a long time," Dimension chairman Bob Weinstein said when explaining the sudden interest from filmmakers and audiences alike. "But films like Scream and Mimic are not films cut out of a cookie cutter. They're made by real filmmakers."

Hotel bar sets Hollywood trend
Rich, famous flock to new hot spot
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — So you think you'll be feeling a bit thirsty come late September? Better pick up the phone now if you're hoping to shake your thirst at the Skybar, the white-hot epicenter of celebrity lounging.
tions weeks in advance. But even
Tinseltown's bar du jour charges $8 a drink and requires reservations weeks in advance. But even
with that, your chances of getting in are slimmer than Kate Moss, unless your name happens to be De Niro or Ovitz.
Ellen DeGeneres
Since last year's opening night, the Skybar, located at the ultrahip
P
Mondrian Hotel, has seen more beautiful people than the Shrine Auditorium during the Academy Awards. In fact, it was this year's Oscar night that thrust Skybar into the spotlight, when Miramax chose it for an epic party in celebration of its winning film, The English Patient.
Twenty years after Studio 54 made velvet ropes an irresistible nightlife lure, Skybar has managed to make the mystique of exclusivity fashionable once again. This is not altogether surprising, given that Mondrian is the newest offspring of Ian Schrager, the nightclub owner-turned-hotelier who created Studio 54 along with his partner, the late Steve Rubell.
Ellen DeGeneres toasted her birthday here with a few dozen pals. Other notables? "Just about everyone," says Skybar owner Rande Gerber.
"I hate to talk about people who've come," says Gerber. "They probably won't want to come back if we mention their names."
Well, there you go, the guy will serve drinks but he will not dish.
And one subject he certainly won't touch is what sort of draw his girlfriend, supermodel Cindy Crawford, might have on the place.
Besides a Cindy sighting, just what is Skybar's lure? The bar itself is little more than a hut with a corrugated metal roof that rises above the hotel's pool and deck. Each night, patrons sprawl out around the pool on its oversize, communal mattresses with blankets casually thrown on. With its glass lanterns, terra-cotta planters, ivy walls and wooden chairs, the effect is something like an upscale Pottery Barn advertisement. Think rustic chic.
But if the decor fails to inspire, there's always the view. The sight of Los Angeles sprawled out at your feet is tailor-made for those artistic epiphanies and creative jolts so prized by actors and screenwriters.
And failing that, there's always the possibility of rubbing elbows with a studio mogul who'll option the idea conceived during last week's traffic jam.
Make no mistake. All those perfectly tanned, Prada-clad people may look like they're having fun but this is Hollywood at work, not at play. The emphasis is on schmoozing, not canooodling.
"The type of people that my place attracts are mostly in the entertainment business," Gerber says. "They may not know each other but they know of each other and it just seems to work out."
Still, it's tough to relax at Skybar, where a twitchy scrutiny belies the studied nonchalance most people try to affect. "If you're there to do business and meet people, there's this looking-around factor," says CBS executive Monique Hart. "The expectation is so high that it's going to be fabulous, that it's kind of distracting."
But, the question remains, how to get in? File the answer under "Many will call, but few are chosen."
The system is simple. Hotel guests are allowed in, along with one (that's ONE) guest. Everyone else must call to be put on a list. If you make it, you get a confirmation call back. Otherwise, don't go there.
Gerber says the Skybar gets about a thousand calls each day. About 250
Getting in
Short of shelling out a couple hundred dollars for a room at the Mondrian Hotel, which would guarantee getting into the Skybar, here are a few tips to ease you in. Remember, the truly hip don't have to resort to these tricks, and Skybar management certainly would frown on a few of them ... so try them at your own risk.
They don't start checking the guest list until 8 p.m. Arrive early and watch the sunset nearside
> watch the sunset poolside.
> You can try buying off the doorman, though Skybar's owner Rande Gerber says it could cost you. He once was offered $4,000 for a party of four. He turned it down. He doesn't know however, what the doorman did once he walked away.
Take names. Scott Kerman, a professional sneak and author of "No Tickets? No Problem!" says call ahead to get the name of the hotel manager and the doorman, then drop the names once you arrive with an air of authority. Then, when the doorman glances at his list, peek and say you're with one of the ones you see.
- Drop a Big Corporate Name, says Kerman. Say you're meeting with the MCI executives.
Look important. It might work.
■ Pretend to be a vendor with a beer company, Kerman says. You need to see how well the Heineken is selling. Ask the doorman what size T-shirt he wears and promise to get him a Heineken shirt.
Finally, Gerber offers this tempting tidit, "Usually when people get ahold of me personally, I'll let them in, whether I know them or not."
people make the list, drawn up with a blend of snobbery and science.
"We try to accommodate everybody," Gerber says. "Everybody," in this instance, means those affiliated with major film studios, talent agencies, television studios or entertainment magazines. "We don't only let
in celebrities or only well-known producers or directors. We try to accommodate a variety of people."
Still, it's clear from the numbers that most don't get in.
The pitch has become so fevered that Angelenos have been known to book rooms, which start at $195 a night, just for confirmed access to the Skybar. There's also a story about 14 Valley girls booking a room for the privilege of being admitted. Gerber doesn't know if it's true but says if it happened again, the bar would admit only one hotel guest and one friend.
The policy is tighter on weekend nights, when a bouncer armed with a list of registered guests stops hopefuls at the front of the lobby. Only after they're cleared are they allowed to proceed to the back, where a doorman checks Skybar's guest list.
To television producer Robert Scott, the whole procedure "felt like some sort of invasion into some military installation. The bouncers are one thing but it felt like they were almost armed."
Scott Kerman, a professional sneak who infiltrated many awards shows and concerts for his book "No Tickets? No Problem!" doesn't think the Skybar would be much of a challenge, though he has yet to try to get in.
His best suggestion: Call the hotel ahead of time for the names of the hotel manager and the Skybar doorman. Then drop them upon arriving with the air of someone who's known and expected. ("It gives you legitimacy to the people you want to schmooze your way by," Kerman says.) When the doorman checks for your name, Kerman says, look down at the list and spy a name — Ovitz, say. Then tell the doorman you're with the Ovitz party.
Another Kerman ploy: Look for a side entrance and walk in like you work there. "If all else fails," he adds, "blend in." Find a big crowd about to be whisked in and start talking to someone who's in it.
"Now I'm concentrating on talking to them while we're walking in. I'm part of the party and there you go, you're in the door."
RV renaissance: Celebrities take to retro tourmobiles
Former dressing rooms find favor as transportation
The Associated Press
Two letters: RV. Yes, recreational vehicles are chic again.
LOS ANGELES — Forget those stretch limos and private Gulf-streams. Hollywood jet-setters are finding a new way to tool around in sumptuous style.
Sylvester Stallone, Sean Penn, Matthew Modine, Tom Hanks, Andy Garcia and David Duchovny have each embraced these aluminum highway stalwarts. Especially those funky silver jobs.
A "silverlove sub" is how *ER doc* Anthony Edwards affectionately refers to his 34-foot, $100,000 Airstream.
Once the embarrassing behemoths that retirees trundled on the snowbird circuit, the rich and famous are snapping up those huge motor homes and bus conversions. And loving them.
Penn lived in an Airstream Sovereign after the 1993 Malibu fire destroyed his $4 million Spanish villa, Garcia, Stallone and Modine bought Airstreams for on-set dressing rooms. Hanks brought his 34-foot battle tank on location for "Sleepless in Seattle."
But these showbiz rides aren't your garden variety getaway vehicle — and they're certainly nothing like the honeymoon-turn-oreal rig that Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz towed across the screen in 1964's The Long, Long Trailer.
"The movie people like an Airstream because it's distinctive. It sets them aside," said Andy Rogozinski, 64-year-old owner of Corona's Inland RV Service Inc.
Rogozinski, known in Hollywood as the Airstream customizer to the stars, has fixed up special models of the campy cocoon for Modine, Michael Madsen and Tim Burton.
Modine's Airstream was outfitted with a totally stainless steel bathroom.
"Matthew uses his as a glorified dressing room. In 'Bye, Bye Love,' there was a lot of nighttime work and he relaxed in it during down time."
"It is one of the 99 most desired products according to Money magazine," Rogozinski said. These gleaming beauties run about $100,000 when he's finished with them.
"It doesn't matter how old it is, it's like a DC-3. A little TLC and that's it."
Actually, they kind of look like a DC-3.
Custom trailers and motor homes make sense — and cents — for celebrities with an entourage. They also eliminate complaints from stars unhappy with studio-provided accommodations while on location.
"It's a working office when you spend the better part of a year on location in a trailer," said Catherine Moore, spokeswoman for the Screen Actors Guild. "Most of the principals or performers have a very organized business structure and they have a quite sophisticated support staff."
Then there's the, um, pleasure factor: "It's very womanlike," Edwards recently told The Wall Street Journal. "The roundness, the curvature of the interior, makes a really pleasing environment to be in."
Actress Heidi Swedberg keeps an Airstream (she calls it a tin can with a door) in her back yard.
"But I'm not in the Wally Byam Caravan Club," said the actress, who played George's fiancee Susan on Seinfeld. Airstreams hit the mainstream in the 1950s when Byam started leading mass excursions nationwide.
"When we first bought our...little house, we remodeled and lived in the Airstream for nine months," Swedberg said. "It's kind of become a kind of garden fixture now."

Fight ensues as fraternities turn party into rumble
Pregnant student hit police make no arrests
By Mary Corcoran
Kansan staff writer
Three KU students were injured yesterday when a fraternity party at Potter Lake turned into a rumble. KU police said.
C
The fight took place around midnight yesterday morning after members of the Phi Beta Sigma fraternity showed up at a party held by the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity at Potter Lake Pavilion, said Set. Chris Keary of KU police.
Lester Earl is expected to find out this week if he will be granted his release from Louisiana State. Page 1B
During the fight, one student pulled out a .9-mm semi-automatic weapon and pointed it at another student, Keary said. No shots were fired.
The student who had the gun was later interviewed by KU police and the weapon was taken into custody. Keary said.

A pregnant student who was hit in the stomach was treated at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. She later told police that she was accidentally struck when students ran from the scene of the fight.
Another student was thrown to the ground by a group of students who had followed him as he tried to leave, Keary said. The student stood up, made it to his car and was hit as he tried to drive away, Keary said.
"This is an ongoing investigation. It's been going on all day." Keary said. "We have lots of people to talk to and more investigations to complete. But we're not anticipating any arrests."
KU police have contacted the Douglas County district attorney's office about the fight. Keary said the district attorney would determine whether warrants would be issued.
Kappa Alpha Psi had reserved the pavilion for a party to follow Beach-N-Boulevard, a Hawk Week event held in front of Wescoe Hall that ended around 9 p.m. Tuesday.
Keary said problems arose when members of Phi Beta Sigma arrived uninvited and started performing step routines. Kappa Alpha Psi members asked the Phi Beta Sigma members to stop dancing, Keary said, but they refused and a fight ensued.
Members of Kappa Alpha Psi would not comment on the fight, but said the party had been open to everyone.
Chris Jones, recent KU graduate and Phi Beta Sigma member, said his fraternity was not trying to start a fight. He said they were not performing a step routine, rather they were strolling, or party-walking, which is not the same as a step routine.
"We started to do what people traditionally do at parties," Jones said. "We were asked to stop, and there was a confrontation between two members, one Kappa Alpha and one Phi Beta. The two organizations get along just fine."

Convocation kicks off classes
Students, staff enjoy ritual at Lied Center
By Matthew Friedrichs Kanson staff writer
The walk up the hill began last night at the Lied Center with academic pomp and circumstance and an enthusiastic crowd.
A crowd of 1,300 students, faculty and guests reacted warmly to a convocation video featuring a jazzy version of the alma mater and athletic highlights.
The crowd then watched expectantly as University administrators walked to the stage. Elaine Sharp, professor of political science and University Marshal, carried the ceremonial mace while leading the procession. Chancellor Robert Hemenway, wearing the ceremonial collar, was the last to reach the stage.
"The 132nd Opening Convocation of the University of Kansas is now convened." Sharp said.
The formal nature of the ceremony was again broken by cheers following the "Star Spangled Banner."
Students sat quietly through introductions and welcomes
from Scott Sullivan, student body president; Patricia Miller, president of the unclassified professional staff association; and Laurence Draper, president of the University Senate.
"Welcome all you party animals," Hemenway said, in reference to the University's recent high ranking as a party school.
The students responded with cheers.
"Most chancellors, me included, have treated convocation as a slightly pompous occasion," he said.
"You are entering a world of information that is just as complex and instantaneous and just as filled with information as the Internet." Hemenway said.
It is a chance, Hemenway said, to inflict free advice on a captive audience.
Hemenway had no advice to impart about sharing communal bathrooms or the "freshman 15," but he did tell students to identify those faculty, staff and students who would care and help them make decisions about what information to believe.
"You will be bombarded with ideas from all sides over the next four or five or six years — however long it takes you before you log out." he said.
Jill McNickle, Ashland freshman, said convocation was not what she expected.
"It was very interesting and informative, and it was funny," said McNickle.
Faculty members were sur prised by the vocal audience.
"We've never seen students this responsive to a convocation," said Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, associate provocid.
As Simon Carrington, associi-
ate professor of music and dance, led the singing of the alma mater, the crowd swayed back and forth, and then dispersed to begin a new semester.

Parking spaces added to residence hall lots
By Tim Harrington
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas spent nearly $1 million this summer to make more parking available to students and to keep some existing parking structures from crumbling on students heads—or under their tires.
The parking department spent $332,655 to add 193 new yellow-zone parking spaces to the lots in front of Ellsworth and Hashinger Halls. The money, generated through permit sales and violation fines, was also used to lay down new asphalt and paint new stripes in both lots.
Despite the changes, Donna Hultine, assistant director of parking, warned students not to get their parking expectations up too high this semester.
Every year, more and more students are driving, she said. Also, the parking department oversells yellow permits every year because not all students who hold yellow permits drive to campus every day, she said.
Further, Hultine said, the first week of school is always hectic for parking. She recommended that students try parking in the lot to the west of Memorial Stadium, which she said was underutilized.
"When we sell permits, we're not guaranteeing a space," she said.
The three-level garage was replaced by a ground level lot with 95 spaces—23 fewer than in the old garage. However, the new lot has four handicapped accessible spots. The old garage had no handicapped spaces.
There was also some crunching going on during the summer. Design and Construction Management used a machine called a snipper to chew up and spit out the condemned parking garage on the east side of Jayhawker Towers.
"There's always a crunch at the beginning if the semester," Hultine said. "Then people start to figure out where they need to be and when, and then it settles down."
Bob Rombach, an architect for Design and Construction Management who worked closely on the project, said that the renovations cost $593,000. Along with the cost of tearing down the garage and building the new lot, that price tag included a turn lane on Burdick Drive, a four-way stop sign at the corner of Burdick and Irving Hill Road, the demolition of the old garage and retaining walls for the new spaces.
"I needed retaining walls to keep 15th street where it belongs." Rombach said.
KU students party with the best of 'em
University ranked 8th party school in nation
By Rachelle Detweiler and Tim Harrington
Kansas staff writers
The beer flows like water atop Mount Oread, according to a survey released yesterday by the Princeton Review.
It lists the University of Kansas as the number eight party school in the country. West Virginia was at the top of the list, and fellow Big 12 school Colorado was ranked fourth.
The yearly list, based on responses from about 56,000 randomly selected students at schools nationwide, has never before mentioned the University.
Some members of the KU community said they were thrilled at the University's newfound reputation as a party place, while others paid it no mind. But if the survey is an accurate reflection of life in Lawrence, one thing is certain: although the KU campus is dry, the students are anything but.
"It's a good thing, I think. It gives us a little notoriety," said Chris Jones, Prairie Village junior and social chairman for Phi Delta Theta. "An incoming freshman can look at KU and see that it's a great party school where you can have a good time, and their parents can look at KU and see that it's a great academic school. It's the perfect mixture of both."
Although being a party school is far from KU administrators' loftiest goals, Chancellor Robert Hemenway opened his convocation speech last night by saying "Welcome, all you party animals."
University Relations director Tom Hutton said that any results from a Princeton Review poll should be taken with a grain of salt.
"Princeton Review polls offer a whimsical look at college life at best." Hutton said.
The list is part of the New Jersey-based company's annual guide to colleges which is designed for high school seniors. This year's guide, "The Best 311 Colleges," ranks schools in 61 categories, from cafeteria food to cultural diversity. (The University of Missouri was ranked last in the student happiness category.)
For the party category, random students were asked questions about how much
Party on
The University of Kansas was named the #8 party school in the nation by The Princeton Review. The top ten:
1. West Virginia University, Morgantown
2. University of Wisconsin, Madison
3. State University of New York, Albany
4. University of Colorado, Boulder
5. Trinity College, Hartford, Conn.
6. Florida State University, Tallahassee
7. Emory University, Atlanta
8. University of Kansas, Lawrence
9. University of Vermont, Burlington
10. Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge
alcohol they drink, how much they study and how much marijuana they smoke.
Brett Becker, Overland Park junior, said he thought that a somewhat laid-back police force made Lawrence ripe for carousing. He said that KU students can party more with fewer consequences.
"It's a relaxed police force, it seems like," Becker said. "I've never had any trouble with them."
Mendel Martin, Olathe junior, said she thought of the University not as a party school, but as a place where students drink in moderation.
"A lot has changed since my freshman year," Martin said. "The parties totally suck now and everything's played out so much. There's nothing new. The first few punk parties here were out of control, with people climbing out of windows."
Steve Harvey, a recent KU graduate who now is a bartender at the Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts, also said he thought that the town seemed to be in a partying slump because of a lack of exciting bars.
Randall Rock, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said he hadn't see an increase last year in alcohol-related injuries and sickness.
Sgt. Chris Keary of KU police said he hadn't seen any noticeable increase in drug and alcohol-related arrests or incidents.
But for Tom Dangermond, a manager at Patterson's Liquor Store, 846 Illinois, business has been pretty good lately, especially in keg sales.
Dangermond said that multiple keg sales, such as four, five, or six kegs, are more common now than in previous years

U.S. trade deficit shrinks; China, Japan still ahead
WASHINGTON — The U.S. trade deficit narrowed as exports hit an all-time high and imports shrank for the first time in eight months. But deficits with Japan and China rose sharply, drawing a rebuke yesterday from the Clinton administration.
The Commerce Department said the nation's overall trade deficit narrowed 14.5 percent in June to $8.16 billion, compared to a $-$4.9 billion trade gap in May.
But even with June's improvement, the deficit for this year is still on track to be the worst showing in a decade as trade continues to be the major weak spot for the U.S. economy.
President Clinton, who vowed to make trade a key component of his foreign policy, has seen the deficit rise every year he has been in office. This has provided critics a target. They contend that the administration's high-profile free trade agreements and market-opening deals with Japan and China have failed to reap benefits for American workers.
The administration is particularly sensitive to that type of criticism, given that Clinton will launch an effort next month to win congressional approval for the authority he needs to expand the North American Free Trade Agreement with Mexico and Canada to the rest of the Western hemisphere.
While the overall deficit was declining in June, America's trade gap with China jumped 15 percent to $4.3 billion. A flood of Chinese clothing, shoes and toys pushed the monthly trade gap with China above that with Japan for only the fourth time on record.
America's deficit with Japan also was up substantially, rising by 11.6 percent to $4.1 billion. Imports of Japanese cars and automotive products rose while American automotive sales to Japan fell.
Commerce Secretary William Daley said the performance of China and Japan in lowering trade barriers to American products had been disappointing. The administration released a letter to the Japanese government written by Daley and U.S. Trade Representative Charlene
Barshefsky, complaining about Japan's slow pace in opening up the market for auto part sales.
'Megan's Law' is upheld in federal appeals court
TRENTON, N.J. — A federal appeals court upheld Megan's Law yesterday. The court called for some technical changes but ruled that it was not unconstitutional for authorities to notify residents about the presence of sex offenders in their midst.
"The court has agreed with the state's position that notification is not punishment." New Jersey Attorney General Peter Verniero said. "It is a very good day for families and children in New Jersey."
The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia rejected claims by the New Jersey public defender's office that community notification amounted to the tacking on of additional punishment after offenders completed their prison sentences.
The law was passed in response to the slaying of 7-year-old Megan Kanka in 1994. Jesse Timmendequas, a neighbor with a criminal record for sex offenses against children, was convicted of luring the Hamilton Township girl into his home, raping her and killing her.
The crime led to laws across the nation that require community notification when a convicted sex offender moves into the neighborhood.
In New Jersey, the law requires authorities to assess the likelihood that a convicted sex offender will commit another offense when out of prison. If the risk is judged to be moderate, schools and other institutions in the area are notified of the ex-offender's presence, but not the general public. If the risk is judged to be high, neighborhood residents are notified directly.
The appeals court said that there must be changes in the procedures that permit sex offenders to challenge their risk assessment and the community notification plan.
Sex offender notifications have been placed on hold since March 1996 as federal appeals proceeded.
New Jersey gunman dies after killing four others
COLEBROOK, N.H. — A man who apparently held a long-standing grudge against a judge killed her, two state troopers and a newspaper editor Tuesday during a wild three-hour rampage that ended when he was shot to death.
Four other law enforcement officials were wounded, three of them as they pursued the gunman through the small towns and wooded areas of rural New Hampshire and Vermont. The man, identified as Carl Drega, was killed in a firefight with nearly two dozen officers.
The slain judge, Vickie Bunnell, had once gotten a restraining order against Drega, 67. Her troubles with him dated to at least 1991 when, as an official in the small town of Columbia, she had him removed in handcuffs from the town hall because of a zoning dispute.
Tuesday's rampage began about 2:45 p.m. when troopers traveling in separate patrol cars pulled over Drega's red pickup truck for an unspecified violation, said New Hampshire Attorney General Philip McLaughlin. Drega, wearing a bullet-proof vest, shot both troopers dead with an assault rifle.
He then fled the scene in a patrol car, driving to a building housing the offices of Bunnell, a part-time District Court judge, and the weekly "News and Sentinel" of Colebrook.
vickie screamed and ran through our offices: It's Drega. He's got a gun," reporter Kenn Stransky said. "He shot her in the back. She died instantly."
Stransky said the paper's editor, Dennis Joos, was shot to death when he struggled with the gunman.
Everyone else in the building fled out the back.
Stransky said Bunnell, 44, had gotten a restraining order against Drega several years ago.
Lethal injection ends life of convicted rapist, killer
"She said he was a time bomb," the reporter said.
POTOSI, Mo. — A man convicted along with his uncle in the slaying of a 12-year-old mentally handicapped girl was executed by injection yesterday.
In his last words to prison officials, Andrew Six said: "They can take my body, but they can't take the love of the one person I've found."
Six, 32, a high school dropout from Pershing, Iowa, did not specify whom he was talking about, prison officials said.
According to court records, Six and his uncle, Donald Petary, showed up at the trailer home of Donald and Janet Allen in Ottumwa, Iowa, in April 1987. They claimed they wanted to look at a pickup truck the Alens were selling.
Six admitted that the men robbed and terrorized the family. Authorities said Six raped the Allens' pregnant 17-year-old daughter and later slit Janet Allen's throat with a butcher knife. Both women survived. Six denied the assaults.
The men then reportedly abducted the Allens' mentally handicapped daughter, Kathy.
With Petary and Kathy in the back seat, Six drove to Missouri in his car, which had a bumper sticker that read: I'm the person your mother warned you about.
Kathy's body was found in a ditch near Greentop, Mo., about 20 miles south of the Iowa border. She bled to death after her throat was slashed.
Six claimed he didn't kill the girl! Petary said he drank a case of beer that night and blacked out.
Petary, 60, is also on death row. His execution date has not been set.
The Allen family made the seve-
h hour drive to witness the execution.
"It's awful hard for me to relive," Janet Allen said. "He tried to kill me. They're both guilty."
War criminal's supporters shut down by NATO
BANJA LUKA, Bosnia-Herzegovina — NATO-led troops took over police headquarters and barracks and seized truckloads of weapons yesterday from police loyal to indicted wartime leader Radovan Karadzic, moving deeper into a growing dispute among Bosnian Serbs.
Western powers are intent on weakening Karadzic and eventually sending him to an international tribunal to face genocide charges. As long as Karadzic is at large and pulling the levers of power, there is little chance that the Bosnian peace agreement signed in 1995 can work.
NATO's intervention comes at the request of Bosnian Serb President Biljana Plavsic, and could push the Serb republic — which accounts for 49 percent of Bosnia — closer to a break-up.
About 350 British and Czech soldiers, 50 armored vehicles and helicopters went into action yesterday after an appeal from Plavic to U.S. envoy Robert Gelbard.
They sealed off Banja Luka police headquarters, the police academy, a special police barracks and three district police stations.
Plavisc is politically weaker than Karadzic and his loyalists, who include the Serb member of Bosnia's three-man presidency, Momcilo Krajisnik. However, she has started a campaign against Karadzic and Krajisnik, accusing them of getting rich off smuggling while ordinary Serbs struggle with poverty and unemployment.
Plavski called for elections in an attempt to replace the pro-Karadzic Bosnian Serb assembly, but the Bosnian Serb Constitutional Court ruled against her Friday. The dispute has since escalated, and a well-equipped special police unit loyal to Plavski moved in Sunday to the main Banja Luka police station.
Israel exacts retribution for attacks by terrorists
JIYE, Lebanon — Stepping up hostilities in a week of escalating violence, Israel jets struck deep inside Lebanon yesterday, bombing a guerrilla base and a power plant in retaliation for rocket attacks on northern Israel.
The only known casualties in yesterday's raids were two children who were injured when the roof of their house collapsed under Israeli bombardment in eastern Lebanon.
The attack was the latest in a series of violent exchanges that have killed at least nine Lebanese civilians and wounded dozens of people in southern Lebanon and northern Israel since Monday. It marked the first time this week that Israeli forces have retaliated directly, rather than their allies in southern Lebanon.
The growing violence threatens a 16-month-old agreement meant to halt attacks on civilians in the deadly violence between Lebanese-based guerrillas and Israeli forces. The international committee that oversees the U.S.-brokered agreement held an emergency meeting yesterday in Naqoura in southern Lebanon. The committee was expected to again appeal to all sides to spare civilians.
Israel made clear the bombing raids were to punish Lebanon for guerrilla rocket attacks Tuesday.
Arafat meets with rivals to foster unity, strength
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Hugging and kissing his Islamic militant rivals, Yasser Arafat appealed yesterday for Palestinian unity and warned Israel that a new Palestinian revolt was possible.
Arafat's threat came at the start of a two-day national dialogue with opposi-
including Hamas, the militant group blamed for a double suicide bombing that killed 16 people last month in Jerusalem.
Arafat suggested Israel's tough policies could trigger a new Palestinian uprising like the one from 1987 to 1993.

Arafat: Worms Israel of a new Palestinian revolt
"We can't forget that the majority of the Palestinian people voted for peace," he said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has demanded that Arafat crush Hamas, and a top Netanyahu alide blasted Arafat for meeting with Hamas militants.
He apparently was referring to his election in January 1996.
The State Department said that the United States considered the Palestinian leader to be a partner in the pursuit of Mideast peace.
"We have received a series or assurances from Chairman Arafat... that he will assist in the fight against terrorism, that he will assist in the renewal of security cooperation (with Israel)." State Department representative James P. Rubin said.

Undercover police work in liquor stores
By Mary Corcoran Kansan staff writer
Underage KU students attempting to purchase alcohol in Lawrence liquor stores beware. The clerk behind the counter could be an undercover police officer.
Starting this month, the Lawrence Police Department will increase its presence in area liquor stores as part of the "Cops in Shops" program.
Lawrence police said.
Logs in groups program.
Last year Lawrence police officers made
10 arrests in connection with the
program. This year there will be more
officers and liquor stores participating,
"The police department sees the goal of this program as prevention, not to make as many arrests as possible," said Ron Olin, Lawrence police chief.
"This time of year is a good time to publicize what we are doing so people out of town can be informed of what the laws and the penalties are," he said.
"Cops in Shops" is a cooperative effort between retailers and Lawrence police. In the participating liquor store, a Lawrence police officer poses as a retail liquor clerk. A second officer stays outside the store to deter or apprehend adults who purchase alcohol for minors.
"We feel this particular program is highly effective in deterring youth access to alcohol," said Dan Blumgren, owner of Johnson's Wine & Spirits at 1410 Kasold
Stores participating in the program will display signs on their front windows and cold cases with the message, "WARNING: Police Officer May Be Posing As Store Employee."
Drive.
The purchase of an alcoholic beverage by a minor carries a fine of $100 and up to 40 hours of public service. Possessing a fake driver's license or other false identification carries a sentence of up to six months and/or a fine of $1,000. Giving alcohol to minors carries a six month sentence and/or a fine of up to $1,000.
"Cops in Shops" is sponsored by Lawrence liquor retailers, the Lawrence Police Department and the Kansas Drunk Driving Prevention Project, a program of the Kansas Department of Transportation.
Restaurant now features dancers
TOMMY

Kansan staff writer
Lawrence resident JoAnne Zingo-Hargis gyrated, snapped her fingers and shook her stomach as she danced between tables at the Jerusalem Cafe last week. Some diners averted their eyes, some continued eating and others openly enjoyed the show.
Dining at the Jerusalem Cafe, 1021 Massachusetts St., now offers more than a taste of another culture's cuisine—it gives a free peek at the art of Middle Eastern dancing.

Last Wednesday, Zingo-Hargis, whose stage name is Zada Al Gaziyeh, performed alone, dancing with dollar bills from wide-eyed customers tucked in to the sleeves of her fist gloves.
Zingo-Hargis said that dancing was a way to escape from everyday life.
"I know that dancing is an opportunity to express the artistic side," she said. "You get bound by your job and your regular life. Dancing gives you an opportunity to be expressive."
To add more authenticity to her dances, she said, she travels throughout the country to meet other dancers and find ideas to teach to her students at the Lawrence Park and Recreation Department.
She said that dedication to dancing went beyond her Wednesday night performances—not even her personal life interferes with it, she said.
"When I had my first son, I performed on the Monday before he was born and taught on Thursday," Zingo-Hargis said. "I had him on Friday and was back to teaching the next Thursday."
A dancer performs at the Jerusalem Cafe every Wednesday night at 7 p.m. and
Azzheh said he was considering hiring more dancers to perform on other nights of the week. He said that he had seen a steady increase in Wednesday night business since he hired the dancers in May.
8 p.m. Because of space limitations, the dancers perform alone.
Unionfest to offer free food, prizes
By Gwen Olson Kansan staff writer
For students looking for a way to beat the heat on the first day of the semester, the Kansas Union is the place to go to cool off and take a break.
Student Union Activities and the Kansas and Burge Unions are sponsoring Unionfest from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. today and Friday in front of the Kansas Union.
Unionfest gives students a chance to take a break from class to try a variety of free games and activities and to win prizes.
"We really just want to let students know that we're here," said Katrina Widholm Warren, Marketing and Promotions Coordinator for SUA. "It will be a little bigger than last year. We're going to have more free food."
Students can cool off with SUA's free snow cones and local businesses will be giving out everything from hot dogs to bagels. Sponsors include Bagel & Bagel, Vienna Beef Hot Dogs, Roasterie Coffee and Free Brew City Fries.
For those who bring an appetite for fun, SUA has several games and prizes for people to win.
Jaybowl will bring arcade games for students to play free.
Many groups on campus will sponsor prizes for students. One drawing, sponsored by the KU Bookstores, will award one student $250 in credit for textbooks and a signed copy of Kurt Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse Five."
Students also can win gift certificates to places around campus including the Prairie Room and Jaybowl, both in the Kansas Union.
Other highlights of the outdoor activities are the Balloon Man and pictures with a Jawhawk mascot.
"The Balloon Man makes hats and flowers out of balloons," Warren said. "He's really popular. People will sometimes stand and watch him for 30 minutes."
For students' listening pleasure, SUA also is sponsoring Tunes at Noon. Today's band is Safety Orange. Jiffy Trip will play Friday. KJHK will have a live remote during both days of Unionfest.
On Friday, Coca-Cola will bring a giant, mock igloo that students can cool off in. The company also will give away tea.
But if igloos and snow cones aren't enough to cool students off, there are

more activities in the air conditioned Kansas Union.
The Student Organizations and Leadership Development Center will feature a student organizations fair on the fourth floor of the Union from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. to inform students about many of the student groups on campus.
"We anticipate about 100 organizations at the fair," said Mary Myers, assistant director of the center. "We will have 50 tables set up with two groups at each table."
Myers said the fair should help students learn about how they can become involved on campus.
"We want to target all students, especially those who are not involved in campus groups, to help them make the University more user-friendly," she said. "Our idea is that the more things you have to do, the better you can manage your time."
One group involved with the fair is the Organization of Adult Knowledge Seekers, OAKS, whose members are nontraditional students.
"We are hoping to reach more students at the information fair because many don't even realize that they're nondrands," said OAKS co-director Stacy Bozick, Olathe senior.
"We don't expect people to come and stay for hours," Warren said. "We just wanted to give them something to do and to learn about what we do."
Organizers hope both events will attract students who are between classes.
Campus housing is home to more students this year
By Sarah McWilliams Kansan staff writer
The number of on-campus residents increased by 200 this year and rooms are filling up. But according to department of student housing directors, no one has been turned away.
Despite the increasing numbers, the department is trying to fill housing-contract requests that come in throughout the semester, said Fred McEhlenie.
associate director of the department of student housing.
The department, located in the basement of Corbin Hall, has been full of people who have come in to pick up contracts for the fall. McElhenie said students apply for contracts later for a variety of reasons, including having other housing arrangements that don't work out, the problems of commuting and the convenience of on-campus living.
The increase is also partly due to 280 residents of the reopened Templin Hall, said Kenneth Stoner, director of the department.
Before it closed for renovation in 1996, Templin had room for more than 400 students. But because rooms were renovated into suites with bathrooms, the capacity of the hall decreased, McEhlenie said.
Due to last-minute cancellations, residents changing rooms or halls and new applicants.
exact housing numbers are difficult to determine during the first few weeks of school, McElhenie said.
However, he estimated that more than 3,400 students live in the Daisy Hill residence halls, Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall and Oliver Hall. The occupancy of Jayhawker Towers has remained the same as last year, with a full residency of 770. Occupancy is stable in both the scholarship halls, at 450, and in Stouffer
Place, with 300 students. The Stouffer Place total does not including the children who live there, he said.
The department is trying to place students in the residence of their choice. Although students may not get their first choice for a hall, McElhenie said most students were satisfied with their alternative hall.
"We want to meet individual needs," McElhenie said. "By and large, most people are where they'd like to be."

Like it or not, always Coca-Cola
There's no way around it. If you're thirsty between classes for a Diet Pepsi, Mountain Dew, or Dr Pepper, you're out of luck. Starting this year, the University of Kansas enters an exclusive-distribution contract with Coca-Cola through 2007.
The deal means a $21 million windfall for the University, one-third of which comes from an up-front payment in September. Another third is in the form of event sponsorship which many companies provide without an exclusivity contract. Sponsoring an event could most accurately be likened to buying advertisements the sponsor gets its logo on T-shirts, posters, and other prominent places.
The last $7 million in the estimated income from the contract comes from commissions on sales, interest earned on the initial $7 million payment, and money paid by Coke for KU's vending machines. These revenues, like the
sponsorship, can just as easily be earned without the exclusivity contract. Beverage machine operators receive money from the soft drinks they sell sometimes in the form of commissions, and sometimes simply in the form of profits from sales. The interest on the $7 million occurs only if the University doesn't immediately spend the money, and comes from the financial institution where the money is kept, not from Coca-Cola.
Quick math reveals that the contract really has only one benefit the initial $7 million payment. The drawbacks are numerous. The first is damage done to the University's image: What is KU all about? Signing a deal like this without so much as informing students beforehand signals a priority shift. Is KU dealing behind students' backs to make money?
Second, students end up paying more. Many of the school's vending
machines will dispense 20 ounces of cola for 85 cents instead of 12 ounces for 50 cents. While the per-ounce charge is roughly the same, the cost is higher because many students don't want 20 ounces of cola. That means students are wasting 40 percent of their soda and thus 40 percent of their money.
Finally, the plan could end up costing the University money. Students sick of paying 85 cents or longing for a Pepsi-manufactured soft drink, will buy their drinks elsewhere or go without. A student may be thirsty enough to drop two quarters in a machine, but not patched enough to break a dollar bill.
It's apparent that this plan hasn't been thought through. Things like that tend to happen when students are left out of major decisions that affect them.

Downtown becoming 'anytown'
The view from the Free State Brewery lately looks like a view from a food court at the mall.
As if the Gap that opened last fall at Seventh and Massachusetts Streets was not enough, the new Abercrombie & Fitch that recently opened next door serves as one more reminder that corporate America is slowly infiltrating Downtown Lawrence.
These stores are not the only culprits. With a Bagel & Bagel at the South end of Massachusetts Street and a Border's Bookstore under construction at 700 New Hampshire St., Lawrence's quaint shopping district is quickly turning into Anvintage U.S.A.
Downtown Lawrence is a fun place to visit because many of the shops are unique, independently-owned businesses filled with items not found at cookie-cutter malls.
People will not come from Topeka or Kansas City to shop in Lawrence if they can find the same thing at their local mall.
Not only do corporate businesses offer little unique choices, the majority of the money spent at these franchises goes straight to corporate headquarters. Local business owners spend their profits locally. Obviously, a growing town like Lawrence cannot expect to keep out all corporately-owned businesses. In fact, a few nationally known stores may help draw people downtown, which helps all merchants. And to their credit, the stores that have come to Lawrence have made an honest effort to preserve
the architecture that makes downtown distinctive.
The key to keeping downtown healthy is balance. Lawrence residents favor a thriving downtown as opposed to a cornfield mall. But if corporate businesses takeover downtown Lawrence, the citizens are no longer in charge. If the corporations decide that they can make a bigger profit by leaving the higher-rent spaces of downtown and moving to a mall somewhere west of town, they will have a mall built there. They won't think twice about leaving downtown vacant.
Those who don't want to see downtown turn into a ghost town should keep the local economy alive by shopping at locally-owned businesses.

No one should pay 85 cents for 20 ounces of a drink that is worse than Pepsi. The University has tried to convince everyone that they are getting a good deal by paying 85 cents for a soda, even though last semester cans
Coca-Cola can afford to pay the University $21 million during the next 10 years because students and staff will be stupid enough to pay the monopoly prices. Coke is just going to take our money and give it right back to the University.
Chancellor Bob said some of the money, which includes a $7 million payment up front, will go to the athletic department. The rest of the cash is supposed to go to scholarships. We'll see.
It will be interesting to discover what actually happens to the money.
But why isn't the money going toward something everyone can use? How about a new gymnasium or a child care center? Why not use the money to build a tutoring center or to upgrade technology?
Wasn't Chancellor Bob recently complaining that there wasn't enough money sitting around to improve campus technology?
It's not that scholarships and athletics aren't important, but a scholarship only benefits the person who gets it. Using the money for campus-wide projects would benefit everyone.
What the University has left us with is no options. It is telling us that we have to pay more money to get a drink so that the University can receive money most of us will never see.
The University should not be allowed to get away with it. This is the perfect chance for the students and staff at the University to fight back.
Don't buy the Coke on campus. Don't purchase drinks at a football game, don't get sodas at the Unions and quit dropping change into the vending machines.
Make the University spend the money on something we all can use. Make them show us some respect. If we all have to pay for the drink, then we should all get to benefit from the deal.
Until that happens, Chancellor Bob and Coke don't deserve our money. In other news:
Talk about getting screwed by the University, how about the cost increase in parking permits. Everyone, including faculty, have been forced to pay more, but students have taken the biggest hit.
Last year a yellow permit, which is sold to students, cost $53. This year yellow permits jumped to $75. In the words of my roommate,
"What the hell??!"
If the increase meant hundreds of new spaces would open up on campus, few would care about the increase. But that isn't happening.
The extra $23 is buying 193 new spaces on Daisy Hill and a new lot at Jayhawker Towers. And Parking Director Don Kearns has assured everyone that new street lines will be painted everywhere.
While this is better than nothing, the truth is most students don't park at Jayhawker Towers or on Daisy Hill unless they live there. People want parking behind the computer center and near the Unions. Hey, parking department, if you aren't going to put new spaces in those places, that's fine. Just don't charge us high prices for spaces that most of us will never use.
Speaking of the parking department, what genius came up with the idea of making the parking permit renewal stickers the color purple.
Wasn't there anyone smart enough to stand up and say, "Pardon me, purple is the color of our most hated rival. I think this is a bad idea."
It's a small thing, but I am sure the people at K-State would be amused to discover that thanks to our parking department everyone at KU who bought a parking permit now has something purple in their car.
Scott Kaiser, KU on Wheels Transportation Coordinator, is really proud of the bus. Kaiser has been on the front page of newspapers talking about how cool it is that we have a blue bus, instead of that lime-green color that has been around for 40 years.
Speaking of colors, isn't it nice that the campus now has a newly painted blue bus.
But folks, we're talking about one bus. Not two or three or four, but one. There are more than 20 buses. Who cares about one blue bus?
If they want to really improve the busses, find a way to get rid of that thick black smoke that comes out of the back. Now that would be something to be proud of.
Painting half the busses have been impressive, but painting just one makes it obvious that the bus system is broke and can't afford any paint for the rest of the fleet.
On top of everything, I'm a little worried about this year's freshman class. The other day I heard one of them say, "Those students senators sound like they work really hard."

chance for you or your group's opinions to be heard.
Essentially, I want this page to be a well-edited — please let there be no errors in this column — forum for anyone to air a solidly-constructed opinion, and in doing so expose another angle or argument to an issue.
But as I sat down to write this introductory column, it occurred to me that I've rarely seen an explanation appear in the Kansan for how — or why— certain things are done on the editorial page. Asking you to write letters or guest columns without prior knowledge of how we process them is unfair. So, here is your guide to the workings of this page:
What you are reading is a column. Its content and style is initially conceived by a single writer. That person then submits the column to one of the two editors on the page. Said column is then read by an editor and the writer together, and any problems in content or style are worked out. The column then goes through a copy editor and finally makes its way to your hands.
- To the left of this column are editorials.
- The stance of an editorial — while written
Do you want to share your thoughts on why the student body at the University is so racially segregated in social settings? (Look around at your favorite bar.) Write a guest column.
Tired of paying for ineffective academic programs? (See the Spanish department. Or, see how many KU students are enrolled in Johnson County Community College's Spanish program—more than 90 percent in my class at JCCC last Spring.) Write a letter to the editor.
Ideally, I want this page to be an ongoing conversation about what affects you and your fellow students, faculty and staff.
This semester we have a group of writers that not only represent a broad spectrum of thought, but can effectively communicate those ideas to you in written form. The opinions of a past student-body president to the acutely environmentally aware to advocates of gay-rights will be seen here. Hell, we may even have a nihilist or two.
by a single writer — is decided upon by a group of approximately 12 people who belong to the editorial board. In bi-weekly meetings, this group of people discuss issues facing the KU community and take a vote as to what side of the issue an editorial
which represents the opinion of the paper should be written. It is then written by a member of the board and goes through the same editing process as a column does.
An editorial cartoon is created by one of our staff cartoonists (God knows I can't draw the damn things) to either accompany an editorial or to stand on its opinionated own.
Throw in any letters we receive from you—which may be edited for style and length—and you have an editorial page.
We have worked, and will continue working, to give you what an editorial page should be: an open marketplace of ideas.
You only have to buy the ones you choose.

Coordinator prevents ills

Students who go to Watkins Memorial Health Center this semester will leave knowing how to prevent their illnesses from recurring, said Watkins' new coordinator of health promotions and education.
Candyce Waitley, who has worked at Watkins since 1983, was named coordinator of the health promotions department on July 13. She said her goal this year was to build a closer relationship between medicine and education.
"There's always been some interaction, but not as much as I'd like there to be," Waitley said. "Now when people are treated, they will also be educated on how not to let it happen again. The physician will refer people to us for info."
Waitley was promoted to the position after Janine Gracy, the previous coordinator, married and relocated. Waitley worked for five years as a nurse and nine years as a health educator.
"Now I can blend the two, coordinating everything in all areas of education," she said. "Our job is to promote health and education from a preventive aspect."
Starting this semester, Waitley's department will survey Watkins physicians to find out what questions students ask during appointments. The department will also conduct random campus surveys to learn about students' diet, exercise, smoking, sexual activity and alcohol habits.
"When we see where areas of most concern are, we'll know where to work most closely," she said. "Most of these problems can be avoided with the right decisions."
Waitley said she would encourage physicians to refer more students to her department after treatment.
"An important part of every visit involves some education," said Randall Rock, Watkins chief of staff. "We try to give some education, but some topics are more extensive and we refer them to health promotions. I think the two work well hand-in-hand."

A team of Kansas aerospace engineering students flew into first place at the National Aircraft Design Contest this month in Oshkosh, Wis.
The competition, now in its third year, was sponsored by NASA and the Federal Aviation Administration. It seeks to revitalize interest and development in U.S. general aviation.
Aircraft designers soar to top
Charles Svoboda, Kansas City, Mo., graduate student and project manager, was pleased with the team's design and accomplishment.
Pennsylvania State University took second place and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University placed third in the contest.
"Everyone worked well together over the past year," he said. "Our team was unique because it consisted of representatives from three universities. All of the other 14 design proposals were made by single universities."
The winning team, consisting of engineering students from the University of Kansas, Wichita State University, and Kansas State University, received $3,000 for the students' private use. Aerospace engineering departments
"Our team was unique because it consisted of representatives from three universities."
Charles Svoboda Kansas City, Mo., graduate student, project manager
at the three universities will split an additional $5,000 for departmental use.
Jan Roskam, professor of aerospace engineering, said the departmental award money probably will be spent on equipment for the new design room in Learned Hall, which is expected to be completed by the end of the spring semester.
Most of the work from the KU students on the team occurred in Learned Hall. Through telephone conversations and e-mail, the KU students kept in contact with other team members.
"E-mail made communication between the three schools more convenient, but sometimes waiting for information and results from each other still took some time," said team member Bob Stuever, Lawrence graduate student.
The plane is unique because the
propeller is in the rear rather than the front. The rear tail is in an inverted V-shape rather than a normal twin tail. The wings fold up for easy storage.
While the KU students worked mostly on the aircraft's flight dynamics and design, Wichita State's students worked primarily on structural and flutter analysis.
Gawad Nagati, associate professor of aerospace design, flight dynamics and control at Wichita State, acted as one of the team's faculty advisors. He said the KU students did most of the work because they had an earlier start and more experience.
"Overall, this year's competition was probably better than the other two," he said. "It was more sophisticated from a technical standpoint, and the students did a great job of communicating."
The University focused on design, WSU worked on structure analysis, and K-State contributed the mechanical, economic and marketing analysis.
Byron Jones was an advisor to the K-State students.
"It was a learning experience," he said. "These days, industry work requires team work. Even KU and K-State learn to put their rivalry aside and get the job done."

Students find pets at Lawrence animal shelter
By Ann Premer
Kansan staff writer
Kallie has a large fenced in back yard to romp in, six owners to keep her company and all of the puppy biscuits she can eat.
Like many other dogs in Lawrence, Kallie is owned by college students.
Kimberly Roberts, Lawrence Humane Society public relations coordinator, said that in addition to the basic necessities of food and shelter, animals need exposure to people and lots of attention.
"A college student is an ideal owner for an animal," Roberts said.
College students are able to provide these necessities for pets because their schedules allow them to spend more time with their pets than a working person, she said.
Jeff McDaniel, Independence sophomore, said taking care of Kallie, a 14-week-old yellow Labrador Retriever, was a group effort. He said either he or one of his five roommates always cared for Kallie.
McDaniel's lease agreement allows him to have pets, but not all students are so responsible. Roberts said many animals were brought to the shelter by students who lived in housing that had a no-net policy.
Kathy Groves, leasing agent of Meadowbrook apartment complex, said it has a no-pet policy.
"We used to allow pets but the damages were too costly," Groves said.
In most rental agreements, residents who keep pets at complexes with no-pet policies are in violation of their contracts and must either remedy the problem or lose their leases.

"When they get caught they
Last year, the Lawrence Humane Society harbored 5,500 animals. Sixty-three percent were adopted. The remaining 37 percent — more than 2,000 animals — were authorized.
The Lawrence Humane Society's adoption rate is 41 percent higher than the national average.
Annually, it costs at least $350 to care for a cat; $500 for a small dog, and $1,200 for a large dog.
bring them in to us," said Emily Charley, Lawrence junior and Humane Society volunteer.
Roberts said the Humane Society tries to screen applicants thoroughly to ensure that animals from the shelter are placed
But not every place has such an application process, and often salespeople will not take an animal back if there is a problem. Roberts said the Humane Society would accept returned animals.
in homes that allow pets.
Last year, the Lawrence Humane Society harbored 5,500 animals. Of those animals, 63 percent were adopted. The humane society euthanized the remaining 37 percent, more than 2,000 animals.
Despite the number of animals the Lawrence Humane Society must euthanize, its adoption rate is 41 percent higher than the national average.
"We are very fortunate," Roberts said. "We are able to accommodate a lot of animals in our facility."
Roberts said there were many things to consider before adopting or buying a pet. She said the
most important thing to think about was a lifetime commitment to the animal.
"The animal is not going to live one or two semesters but 13 to 20 years." Roberts said.
She also said pets were a major financial responsibility. She estimated that for one year, the minimum care cost for a small dog is $500 to $700. The expense for a large dog is $1,200 to $1,500 and a cat costs about $350 to $500.
"They are a permanent part of every economic decision that I make," Charley said of the three cats and one dog that she has adopted.
It costs $25 to adopt a cat or dog from the Humane Society. In addition, there is a $40 charge to spay or neuter a cat and a $60 charge to spay or neuter a dog. All animals adopted from the Humane Society must be spayed or neutered, Roberts said.
Teamsters wary of UPS strike end
Workers unhappy with strike resolution
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — United Parcel Service drivers put away their picket signs, put on their brown shirts and shorts, and called on customers again yesterday as the delivery giant began to recover sluggishly from its costly strike.
But thousands of former strikers were told to stay home, out of jobs at least temporarily.
For many drivers, apprehensions about bitterness from regular customers whose businesses were hurt by the strike were quickly eased by warm reunions.
work. It's been tough on everybody."
"People have been saying 'Welcome back' and 'Congratulations,'" said driver Michael Reppucci as he made deliveries in Boston's financial district. "Everyone's glad to be back to
UPS has estimated the strike cost at least 5 percent of its business, but said it probably won't be until next week before it can better measure the impact.
"We're going to have very uneven patterns at first," UPS spokesman Norman Black said.
UPS' daily volume fell during the strike to 10 percent of its normal 12 million parcels and packages. The company expected a quick, large surge as customers shipped packages that had piled up during the strike, followed by a leveling-off next week.
UPS has said more than 15,000 jobs may be cut because of lost business. The company didn't immediately release any figures Wednesday on the number of workers back on the job or business volume.
But some 35 percent of 4,671 workers in United Parcel Service's
mid-South offices were laid off yesterday, said Doug Ashcraft, a UPS manager in Little Rock, Ark.
The contract still must be ratified by the 185,000 UPS Teamsters, and some were reluctant to embrace it.
"I've been here a year and I only get a $1 raise," said Chereta Stephenson, a part-time loader in Cayce, S.C.
She was disappointed that the company's profit-sharing offer, which would have given part-timers $1,530 and full-timers $3,060 this year with another future payment tied to profit margins, was folded into overall wage-and-benefit increases in final bargaining.
"I guess we're glad that it looks like an agreement has been reached," said Jim Kabell, secretary treasurer of Teamsters Local 245 in Springfield, Mo. "We want to see the details. It's kind of like a 'show me the money' type of thing."
Florida latest state to ban mail-order alcohol sales
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Glen Parker waited three years on a winery mailing list before he got a rare bottle of Napa Valley Chardonnay shipped to his Florida home. His wait for the next bottle could be longer.
Florida is the latest state to make the direct shipment of alcohol — a $1 billion business nationwide — a felony.
"It's rather silly for a state that is the principal conduit through which cocaine and other drugs are imported into our country. You'd think they have better things to do with their law enforcement," said Parker, a Boca Raton magazine publisher.
of-the-month clubs argue the felony laws do nothing but protect powerful wholesalers worried about losing profits and their monopoly on alcohol distribution.
Vintage wineries and beer-
But supporters of the laws say mail-order alcohol encourages underage drinking and cheats states out of millions in sales and excise taxes.
Following their lead, more than a dozen other states have considered making it a felony.
The new laws have their greatest impact on small companies that depend on mail and Internet orders to pad business. But the biggest losers are consumers, who end up paying more for pricey rare wines and obscure brews.
Vague federal policies keep HIV-positive doctors out
The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — It's been more than six years since Paul Scoles was diagnosed as HIV positive. It's been almost as long since he's picked up a scalpel.
The orthopedic surgeon blames vague federal guidelines and patient fears for keeping him and other health care workers with the AIDS virus from doing their jobs, despite studies that say the risk to patients is minimal.
"Good people, talented people are being kept from working," said Scoles.
At the heart of the issue are guidelines set up by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 1991, formulated after a Florida dentist infected patients with the AIDS virus. Since then, there has been only one other documented case of doctor-to-patient transmission - in France in 1996 - according to the CDC.
The CDC recommends that health care workers with HIV or hepatitis not perform "exposure-prone procedures," despite the admission that defining the phrase is all but impossible. As a result, state policies, which Congress said must either match or be comparable to the CDC guidelines, vary.
Still, most agree that the chance of a health care worker transmitting the AIDS virus to a patient is extremely low. In fact, CDC statistics show that health care officials are much more likely to be infected by patients than vice versa.
Scoles, 47, learned he was HIV positive in 1991. The hospital found out and gave him a choice of telling his patients, or they would intervene. He refused, and found himself without a job.
Scoles now works for an AIDS foundation and teaches part-time at Case Western Reserve Medical School in Cleveland.
"Would I like to go back to practice? Sure, I'd go back tomorrow," Scoles said. "Is that likely? No."

Mir chief denies cutting corners
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — Mir's crew members inspected their space suits yesterday for a desperately important repair mission into an airless compartment — while their bosses on the ground insisted they were not putting lives in danger by skimping on spare parts.
A computer breakdown this week that shut down most systems aboard the banged-up space station was caused by an aging part that Russia had chosen not to spend the money to replace, Deputy Mission Control chief Viktor Blagov acknowledged.
But Blagov insisted that Mission
Control was not saving money at the expense of the safety of the Russian-American crew.
"It's not like Mir's falling apart," he told The Associated Press.
Ground controllers said that by yesterday afternoon the station largely had recovered from the computer failure, having regained its alignment with the sun, recharged its solar batteries and switched on its main oxygen generator.
In fact, space officials said there was little for the two Russians and one American aboard to do except get some rest before tomorrow.
when cosmonauts are to make the long-awaited "internal spacewalk" into the dark, depressurized Spektr module, ruptured by a collision with a cargo ship in June.
Russia's space program has been dodging criticism since February, when Mir started a run of major malfunctions: a dangerous fire, frequent breakdowns in its oxygen and cooling systems, and the nearly catastrophic cargo ship crash.
Officials at Mission Control have acknowledged that Russia's struggling economy and strained federal budget are taking a toll on the
station, which already is operating six years past its expected five year lifetime.
One effect is that some components — except in life-support systems — are not replaced until they break down, Blagov said.
An "information exchange module" failed Monday during a cargo ship docking, knocking out the station's computer. The device, similar to a modem, was past its expiration date. Blagov admitted.
"This computer part simply failed at the worst possible moment, otherwise nobody would have heard about it," he added.
Indians prepare to battle appropriations bill
WASHINGTON — Sally Matsch thought she was a victim of age discrimination when she was fired from a Minnesota Indian casino, so she sued the tribe that ran it.
But the Prairie Island Indian Community forced the case into tribal court, where it was dismissed when the tribe claimed immunity.
The case is tied up in appeals as pressure mounts on Congress to strip Indian tribes of one of their most closely guarded powers — immunity from lawsuits.
"The cards are stacked against
us," said Matsch's attorney, Craig Greenberg.
Sen. Slade Gorton, R-Wash., last month inserted a provision into the Interior Department's 1998 appropriations bill that would deny federal benefits to tribes that refuse to waive immunity and allow litigants to bypass tribal courts and go straight to a federal judge.
The provision is expected to be the subject of a fight on the Senate floor when Congress returns to work in September.
Indian tribes are sending dozens
of letters to Senate offices this month, and tribal leaders are expected to converge on Washington after Labor Day to lobby against the provision.
"We look at it as blackmail," said Bobby Whitefeather, chairman of the Red Lake Band of Chippewa in Minnesota. "It's not right. It's not just. It's not legal."
Many tribes rely heavily on Washington to pay for everything from police to education and social programs. The federal government often is one of the few employers
on a reservation.
Tribes also hope to strip the legislation of a second Gorton provision, which would force tribes to provide an accounting for all their income. The measure grew out of concerns that tribes that were made wealthy by gambling are still receiving federal assistance.
The chairman of the Indian Affairs Committee, Ben Nighthorse Campbell, R-Colo., and the panel's senior Democrat, Daniel Inouye of Hawaii, are expected to fight both provisions.

Home cooked meals please some pets palates
The Associated Press
ALBANY, N.Y. — Chop up some chicken. Mix in eggs and rice. Add a bit of yogurt and a dash of bone meal. Stick it in the microwave. Now you're cooking – for your dog.
Beau, a snow-white American Eskimo, yaps a few times and twirls in anticipation before gobbling the few sticky scoops placed in his dish.
Dorianne Blanchard is pleased, too. Beau had been laid low by liver problems before she started a cooking-and-vitamin regimen for him this spring. Now, he is showing new signs of health and appetite, she says.
"He was never a good eater. He never liked dog food," Blanchard says. "But since I started the homemade diet, he barks at me to eat . . . I have actually tasted it and it's not bad, a little bland."
Blanchard is among a small number of pet owners whose idea of home pet cuisine extends way, way beyond scraping leftover wieners into the doggie dish.
This breed of pet chef relies on
"Since I started the homemade diet, he barks at me to eat ... I actually tasted it,and it's not bad."
Dorianne Blanchard cooks for her doc
whole grains, fresh vegetables and carefully calibrated recipes with names such as Dog Loaf and Quick Feline Eggfest. They often are sympathetic to holistic medicine and tend to turn their noses up at commercial pet food.
And they are dedicated. Meals are cooked regularly and stashed away for daily use in plastic ware and old mayonnaise jars.
It takes time and saves little money, if any.
So why do it?
Pet food cooks claim it brings wondrous changes to their cats and dogs: shinier coats, sunnier personalities, no more dog
breath. And besides, they say, it's natural.
"You have to think that dogs have been around for 10,000 years, and dog food has been around for 50 years," says Shawna Davies of Plattsburgh, N.Y. "What did people do before then?"
Probably a little less than what Davies does for her two dogs. She regularly toils away at dishes such as "Potatoes au Canine," in which the spuds are mixed with cottage cheese and vegetables.
Another popular favorite with the Davies dogs is a mix of brown rice, kidney beans, yeast, kelp, and a dash of chlorophyll (to neutralize dome breath).
Davies gives testimony of what her dogs were like before home cooking.
"They had skin problems and they drooled, they smelled. And their excretions? Agghh! One problem after another."
And now?
"My dogs have not been to the vets since I started cooking for them."
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Angrily pointing her finger at Sgt. Maj. of the Army Gene McKinney, a female recruiter said yesterday she decided to report his sexual advances because "he's up at the Pentagon. He's my superior."
The confrontation occurred at the start of the eighth week of testimony at a Fort McNair hearing to determine whether McKinney should be court-martialed on sexual misconduct charges.
Jeczala was the sixth and last woman scheduled to testify about alleged improper sexual advances by McKinney, the highest ranking enlisted man in the Army.
Jeczala said she first met McKinney in June 1996 when he visited recruiting stations in Florida. She said McKinney invited her to dinner, but another recruiter warned her not to go.
Jeczala said she called an aide to McKinney and said she wanted to bring the other recruiter along and was told it was okay. But later, the dinner was canceled and she was invited to lunch the next day.
During that meeting she said McKinney started talking about his son, who had been killed in an automobile accident.
"I thought he's trying to keep himself from crying," she said.
"He put his left arm around my shoulder," she said. "I patted him
on the back.
"He then said to me, 'I love you.' I froze and said to myself, 'that's odd."
Jeczla said she did not feel threatened by the incident.
But two months later, McKinney returned to the area and asked her to stop by his quarters at Patrick Air Force Base.
Jeczala said she initially was reluctant to come forward because she believed it was more important to train soldiers to be more sensitive to sexual harassment.
"I realized I can't train Sgt. Maj. of the Army McKinney. He's up at the Pentagon. He's my superior," she said. "He's been trained. It's been done. I can't train him."

Thrower tries hand at receiver
Back-up QB changes jobs to add depth
By Tommy Gallagher sports@kansan.com Associate Sports Editor
Junior Akili Roberson doesn't want to be called "Slash." He still thinks of himself as a quarterback.
But at practices Tuesday, Roberson began an experiment he proposed to Kansas football coach Terry Allen: He started practicing at wide receiver.
"After the scrimimage on Saturday, I began thinking about it," Robertson said. "I'll play wherever I can so long as it helps the team. I'll play wherever I fit, or wherever I'm comfortable with."
At quarterback, Roberson was locked at No. 3 on the depth chart behind senior Matt Johner and sophomore Zac Wegner. Johner and Wegner have been battling for the starting quarterback spot since spring practices. Allen will make a decision after practice today about who will start the season opener against the University
of Alabama-Birmingham next Thursday.
"The fact that I was No. 3 on the depth chart has nothing to do with my practicing at wide receiver," Roberson said. "I talked to coach Monday about practicing some at receiver, so he gave me a shot. All I care about is whether or not I can help the team, and I have a chance to help the team here."
Sophomore wide receiver John Gordon is out indefinitely with a heart condition and a sleep disorder. He will not be evaluated further until he meets with a cardiologist during the first week of September.
At wide receiver the Jayhawks are thin.
Gordon had 16 receptions for 240 yards and two touchdowns last season playing in all 11 games and starting in five of them. Sophomore wide receiver Michael Chandler had four receptions for 30 yards last season and is the most experienced receiver in Gordon's absence.
Roberson said that while learning a new position required some adjustments, being a quarterback would help ease the transition period if he continued to play some at wide receiver.

Lights stolen from Memorial Stadium
Kansan staff report
A light fixture and bulbs were stolen from the southwest corner of Memorial Stadium last week, delaying installation.
The lights were stolen between 7 p.m. on Aug. 6 and 7 a.m. on Aug. 7. Information leading to the arrest of the person or people who committed the crime will be eligible for an award of up to $1,000 from Crime Stoppers and from the Athletic Department.
Regardless, the Kansas football team will have a scrimmage under the lights today, starting at 7 p.m. It is expected to last 11/2 to two hours.
The new lights are part of a $24 million renovation project by the University to upgrade the stadium and Allen Field House.
When Kansas battles Alabama-Birmingham next Thursday night in its season opener, the Big 12 Conference will cover the cost of turning on the lights.
The permanent lights will pay for themselves because conference schools receive a light allowance from the Big 12 for setting aside one home game for a prime time television broadcast.
because I have to remember the receiver patterns," Roberson said. "That definitely makes it easier for me to learn the position. I know where a quarterback expects the receiver to be, but the receivers are telling me how to run my routes anyway."
If you have any information about the theft of the light fixtures and bulbs from Memorial Stadium, call KU Crime Stoppers at 864-8888.
The search is on
By posting "Crime Alert" posters around campus offering a $1,000 reward, University officials are hoping to find information related to the theft of lighting equipment from the Memorial Stadium construction.

Allen said the team is searching for depth at wide receiver. He used three-receiver sets frequently when he coached at Northern Iowa. And even with the lack of experience at wide receiver the Jayhawks now face, Allen said he would stick to his offensive philosophy.
"At wide receiver you need six receivers to have good depth," Allen said. "Even then you can have six receivers and still be thin. We'll be rotating our receivers because the positions are interchangeable.

Men's basketball schedule out
The 1997-98 Kansas men's basketball schedule was released Monday, and it includes a rematch with defending NCAA champion Arizona at the Direct TV Great Eight.
Kansan staff report
With the possibility of two preseason NIT games on their home court, the Jayhawks could play 16 games of a potential 34-game regular-season schedule in Allen Field House. They will play a minimum of 31 regular-season games.
It is likely that every Jayhawk game will be televised, including as many as 18 appearances on national television.
and 13 times on ESPN, including three "Big Monday" appearances. Missouri, Colorado and Oklahoma are the Jayhawks' opponents on "Big Monday." ABC will televise the Jayhawks three times, and CBS will carry them twice.
Kansas will play between seven
"This is the kind of schedule our fans and our players really enjoy," Kansas men's basketball coach Roy Williams said. "I think it's an extremely difficult schedule. One that will certainly challenge our players."
Kansas opens the season with five games in the field house. The Jayhawks play their Big 12 Conference foes from Jan. 3 to March 1.

Earl's eligibility decision expected by end of week
sports@kansan.com Sports Editor
By Kristie Blasi
When Kansas basketball player Lester Earl will be eligible to play and how much eligibility he will have should be decided this week.
Sports Editor
Earl, a 6-foot-8 center, transferred to Kansas from Louisiana State for the spring semester. LSU did not release him from his letter of intent.
"Any student who signs a national letter of intent and doesn't fulfill the year of residency — which is what the letter says — is subject to a penalty of sitting out a year and losing a year of eligibility," said Janelle Martin, Kansas assistant athletic director for compliance.
Martin said Earl's appeal would be considered by a committee for the Collegiate Commissioner Association by the end of the week.
Earl: His release is expected to come this week.
Coincidentally, the steering committee's headquarters are located within the Southeastern Conference offices. LSU is a member of the SEC.
The committee will notify Earl about its decision after its meeting via conference.
When a student-athlete transfers, the normal process involves getting a release from the letter of intent from the university—in Earl's case. LSU.
"If students decide not to fulfill the letter, they go to the athletic director and ask for a release," Martin said. "If the athletic director says no, then they can appeal."
LSU did not grant Earl a release when he left, and has not released him since then.
"If students don't complete the year and no release is given, they can write a letter to the steering committee to explain their case and ask it to grant a release or waive the penalty." Martin said.
Martin said the athletic director's office helped Earl during his appeal process to make sure the process complied with regulations.
Earl is now eligible to practice with the team but he cannot play in games.
If the committee grants the appeal, Earl would be eligible for Jayhawk games as a junior in December. If no release is granted, he would be eligible for competition as a senior in December 1998.
The Kansas basketball roster lists Earl as a sophomore, which is what Earl's academic classification is, said Dean Buchan, Kansas sports information director.

"After the scrimmage on Saturday, I began thinking about it," Robertson said. "I'll play wherever I can so long as it helps the team. I'll play wherever I fit, or wherever I'm comfortable with."
At quarterback, Roberson was locked at No. 3 on the depth chart behind senior Matt Johner and sophomore Zac Wegner. Johner and Wegner have been battling for the starting quarterback spot since spring practices. Allen will make a decision after practice today about who will start the season opener against the University
of Alabama-Birmingham next Thursday.
"The fact that I was No. 3 on the depth chart has nothing to do with my practicing at wide receiver," Roberson said. "I talked to coach Monday about practicing some at receiver, so he gave me a shot. All I care about is whether or not I can help the team, and I have a chance to help the team here."
Sophomore wide receiver John Gordon is out indefinitely with a heart condition and a sleep disorder. He will not be evaluated further until he meets with a cardiologist during the first week of September.
At wide receiver the Jayhawks are thin.
Gordon had 16 receptions for 240 yards and two touchdowns last season playing in all 11 games and starting in five of them. Sophomore wide receiver Michael Chandler had four receptions for 30 yards last season and is the most experienced receiver in Gordon's absence.
Roberson said that while learning a new position required some adjustments, being a quarterback would help ease the transition period if he continued to play some at wide receiver.
"I basically know the position
Lights stolen from Memorial Stadium
Kansan staff report
A ligh fixture and bulbs were stolen from the southwest corner of Memorial Stadium last week, delaying installation.
The lights were stolen between 7 p.m. on Aug. 6 and 7 a.m. on Aug. 7. Information leading to the arrest of the person or people who committed the crime will be eligible for an award of up to $1,000 from Crime Stoppers and from the Athletic Department.
Regardless, the Kansas football team will have a scrimmage under the lights today, starting at 7 p.m. It is expected to last 11 1/2 to two hours.
because I have to remember the receiver patterns," Roberson said. "That definitely makes it easier for me to learn the position. I know where a quarterback expects the receiver to be, but the receivers are telling me how to run my routes anyway."
The new lights are part of a $24 million renovation project by the University to upgrade the stadium and Allen Field House.
When Kansas battles Alabama-Birmingham next Thursday night in its season opener, the Big 12 Conference will cover the cost of turning on the lights.
The permanent lights will pay for themselves because conference schools receive a light allowance from the Big 12 for setting aside one home game for a prime time television broadcast.
If you have any information about the theft of the light fixtures and bulbs from Memorial Stadium, call KU Crime Stoppers at 864-8888.
The search is on
By posting "Crime Alert" posters around campus offering a $1,000 reward, University officials are hoping to find information related to the theft of lighting equipment from the Memorial Stadium construction.
Crime Alert
During the investigation of a bank robbery at a University building, the investigation team found a woman wearing a black jacket and white pants. The investigation team (p.g., 427-759-6188) received a notification that the University had taken action.
If you have any INFORMATION about the theft, call UU3 Crime Stoppers at (800) 352-2300.
Involved individuals may be in your neighborhood. Contact the University Police Department for more information.
Allen said the team is searching for depth at wide receiver. He used three-receiver sets frequently when he coached at Northern Iowa. And even with the lack of experience at wide receiver the Jayhawks now face, Allen said he would stick to his offensive philosophy.
"At wide receiver you need six receivers to have good depth," Allen said. "Even then you can have six receivers and still be thin. We'll be rotating our receivers because the positions are interchangeable.

Men's basketball schedule out
The 1997-98 Kansas men's basketball schedule was released Monday, and it includes a rematch with defending NCAA champion Arizona at the Direct TV Great Eight.
Kansan staff report
With the possibility of two preseason NIT games on their home court, the Jayhawks could play 16 games of a potential 34-game regular-season schedule in Allen Field House. They will play a minimum of 31 regular-season games.
It is likely that every Jayhawk game will be televised, including as many as 18 appearances on national television.
Kansas will play between seven
and 13 times on ESPN, including three "Big Monday" appearances. Missouri, Colorado and Oklahoma are the Jayhawks' opponents on "Big Monday." ABC will televise the Jayhawks three times, and CBS will carry them twice.
"This is the kind of schedule our fans and our players really enjoy," Kansas men's basketball coach Roy Williams said. "I think it's an extremely difficult schedule. One that will certainly challenge our players."
Kansas opens the season with five games in the field house. The Jayhawks play their Big 12 Conference foes from Jan. 3 to March 1.

Earl's eligibility decision expected by end of week
Sports Editor
When Kansas basketball player Lester Earl will be eligible to play and how much eligibility he will have should be decided this week.
Earl, a 6-foot-8 center, transferred to Kansas from Louisiana State for the spring semester. LSU did not release him from his letter of intent.
"Any student who signs a national letter of intent and doesn't fulfill the year of residency — which is what the letter says — is subject to a penalty of sitting out a year and losing a year of eligibility," said Janelle Martin, Kansas assistant athletic director for compliance.
Martin said Earl's appeal would be considered by a committee for the Collegiate Commissioner Association by the end of the week.
POLICE DEPT. OF POLITICS
Earl: His release is expected to come this week.
Coincidentally, the steering committee's headquarters are located within the Southeastern Conference offices. LSU is a member of the SEC.
The committee will notify Earl about its decision after its meeting via conference.
When a student-athlete transfers, the normal process involves getting a release from the letter of intent from the university — in Earl's case, LSU.
"If students decide not to fulfill the letter, they go to the athletic director and ask for a release," Martin said. "If the athletic director says no, then they can appeal."
LSU did not grant Earl a release when he left, and has not released him since then.
"If students don't complete the year and no release is given, they can write a letter to the steering committee to explain their case and ask it to grant a release or waive the penalty." Martin said.
Earl is now eligible to practice with the team but he cannot play in games.
If the committee grants the appeal, Earl would be eligible for Jayhawk games as a junior in December. If no release is granted, he would be eligible for competition as a senior in December 1998.
The Kansas basketball roster lists Earl as a sophomore, which is what Earl's academic classification is, said Dean Buchan, Kansas sports information director.

K-State mascot to get makeover, new look
—Kansan staff reports
W
MANHATTAN, Kan. — Willie the Wildcat has had a makeover.
Willie the Wildcat will be bedecked in a new Wildcat head, one that more closely resembles the futuristic, stylized design of the popular Power Cat logo, introduced by head football coach Bill Snyder in 1989.
The prospect of appearing in a form that might be startlingly unfamiliar to diehard Wildcat fans is a unsettling to the new Willie, who was selected on the basis of competitive tryouts, and whose identity is a guarded secret.
When the Wildcats kick off the 1997 football season Sept. 6 at Northern Illinois University, the team's mascot will be on the field leading
"One thing people don't like is change." Willie said in an interview on a street corner in front of Kansas State Stadium last week. "But it was my idea to go with a head that looked more like the Power Cat. As K-State fans, we owe it to each other to be as consistent as we can with our Wildcats."

Switch from man defense to zone is largest difference
By Harley V. Ratliff
Kansan sportswriter
sports@kansan.com
With the arrival of a new coach often comes a new attitude,a new style and a new approach to how the game is played.
Kansas women's soccer head coach Dan Magner is no exception.
Since his arrival in the spring from Wake Forest, Magner has put his personal mark on Jayhawk soccer.
The most significant change for the Jayhawks will be the implementation of new offensive and defensive schemes.
Magner has spent much of the preseason working to familiarize his players with the new style of play. While he has made some changes in the offense, it is the defense that Magner has completely revamped.
"What we're looking to do is institute a zone defense," Magner said. "You can equate it very easily to basketball. It's similar to playing man-to-man as opposed to dropping back and playing in a zone. Our goal is to play defense very much like a half-court trap in basketball. We really won't lock onto players until they're in a certain situation."
For the past two seasons, former head coach Lori Walker played man defense. Though it was adequate against some opponents, the man defense often had trouble with the more physically gifted teams.
Magner said that was one reason why he has switched styles.
"It is just a different concept," Magner said. "I believe that we're not going to be as athletic as some of the teams that we're going to play against. A way to balance that is to play in the
"Our defense is going to let us attack because we won't be exerting all of our energy ... we'll be able to go forward in numbers and attack."

zone."
The change, however, doesn't mean the Jayhawks will be stagnant in the backfield. Magner said he hoped the change to zone would allow some of his more athletic defenders to spark the offense.
be able to go forward in number and attack."
"Our defense is going to let us attack because we won't be exerting all of our energy," Magner said. "When we get the ball, we'll
Though he introduced his plans last spring, much of the learning process has taken place during the first week of practice.
"We're used to playing an all-or-nothing defense," said Kansas sophomore defender Lindsay Loeffler. "It's a lot harder to get used to, but when you're patient and get the whole team playing together, it works. So much of it is being prepared mentally as well as physically."
Magner said he was convinced that the defense would work, but knows that it won't all come together overnight.
"The women really began to pick up on it last spring, but now we have a lot of new freshman faces," Magner said. "It is going to take time. This is a long term project, not just a quick fix. It could take us until midway through the season until everyone is on the same page."

New sports package unveiled
Olympic sports is the new catch phrase in athletics administration, and Kansas is offering a ticket package for these sports at a price without a catch.
At Kansas, Olympic sports are defined as volleyball, baseball, softball, women's basketball, soccer, and track and field.
"Olympic sports refers to what were formerly called non-revenue sports," said Rick Mullen, promotions coordinator for KU athletics. "It's a phrase being used in colleges now because some of the sports do produce revenue."
Individuals may purchase a pass for the five sports and the Kansas Relays for $45. The cost for a family pass, which pays for two adults and up to four children, is $60.
The price for the Olympic sports pass is identical to the individual
and family prices for season tickets to women's basketball games.
"The largest fan base [among Olympic sports] is for women's basketball," Mullen said. "Our goal is to get people in the stands, and if they have these passes they can sample other sports."
A similar package called the "Go Big Blue" card was offered last year, but at a cost of $135 for individuals and $150 for families.
"The prices were cut dramatically," Mullen said. "We'd like to get people to come see Olympic sports."
The athletic ticket office has sold 180 Olympic sports passes for this season so far. Only 120 Go Big Blue cards were sold in the 1996-97 season.
Students with valid KUIDs are admitted free to these sporting events, with the exception of the Kansas Relays. The event is part of the All-Sports Combo ticket package, which also includes football and men's basketball tickets.
"The Relays have always been with the Combo because football, men's basketball and the Relays were the only events that students and the public had to pay for," said Kristel Thalmann, assistant to the director of athletic ticket operations.

Panther fined $20,000 for hitting Chiefs quarterback in exhibition
Gannon chips tooth, but won't miss games
The Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The NFL fined Carolina Panthers linebacker Lamar Lathon $20,000 yesterday for his hit to the face mask of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Rich Gannon in last Thursday's exhibition game.
The league said Lathon, who charged in from Gannon's left and lunged headfirst at him, violated a policy against helmet-to-helmet contact in the pocket when a quarterback is in a vulnerable position.
The hit left Gannon woozy and spitting blood. He went to the sidelines
for one play while trainers attended to his lacerated tongue and a chipped tooth.
"The rules are very clear in regards to these types of things — leading with the helmet is an illegal hit," said Chiefs representative Bob Moore. "Obviously, we are content with the league's decision."
The impact also knocked loose a crown on one of Gannon's teeth, Moore said. Otherwise, Gannon has recovered and is fine, Moore said.
After Kansas City's 30-10 victory, Lathon said he didn't intentionally try to hurt Gannon. Following the Panthers' practice yesterday, Lathon waved off reporters who were seeking comment about the league's review of the incident.
"I'm playing football," said Lathon,
"The rules are very clear in regards to these types of things—leading with the helmet is an illegal hit."
Bob Moore Chiefs representative
who tied for second in the NFL last season with 13 1/2 sacks.
The fine was identical to one the NFL levied last week on Denver Broncos linebacker Bill Romanowski for a hit to the face mask of Carolina quarterback Kerry Collins. The hit fractured Collins' jaw in two places and required surgery, sidelining him for six weeks.

OPPORTUNITY
Tiger center Hardge eligible to play again
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Monte Hardge, Missouri basketball's 7-foot, 300-pound center, has been declared eligible for the 1997-98 season, coach Norm Stewart said yesterday.
The Associated Press
Hardge, a Jefferson City, Mo., native, was academically ineligible for the 1996-97 season. Stewart said that Hardge fulfilled his responsibilities by successfully completing school courses this summer.
Redshirted because of an injury after playing in only four games as a freshman, Hardge averaged 2.5 points, 2.1 rebounds and 6.6 minutes in 28 games as a sophomore during the 1995-96 season.
Also announced yesterday was the resignation of assistant coach Lee Winfield after five years on Stewart's staff. He will be the life skills coordinator for the school's athletic department.
Hardge's return, coupled with the arrival of 6-9, 280-pound freshman center George Mazyck, enables senior Kelly Thames to move back to his natural forward position. Thames, 6-8, averaged 13 points and 6.1 rebounds playing center for the Tigers last season.
Winfield, the father of former Missouri guard Julian Winfield, joined the Missouri staff in 1992 after 10 years as an assistant at Saint Louis University.

Oklahoma starts season with Pigskin Classic
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Oklahoma is getting a jump on the season by playing in the Pigskin Classic against Northwestern. The Sooners came to town early, and yesterday they got a real taste of Chicago.
They got stuck in traffic on the way from practice to their hotel, delaying a news conference for
Saturday's game at Soldier Field.
"Big city," said Justin Fuelem.
Big city, said Justin Fuente,
the Sooners' starting quarterback.
"This is a great chance for the team to start out the season early and to play a team that's had some success the last two years. And we get to start on national TV."
"It's neat," Fuente said. "I've seen it on TV. A lot of great pro players have played there. It just
adds to the whole thing."
The Sooners, once a college football powerhouse, haven't been to a postseason game since the 1994 Copper Bowl.
Coach John Blake isn't treating it like a bowl trip, but it's not going to be all business, either. The Sooners will go to a White Sox game and take a boat tour of Lake Michigan.

Northwestern will be making it 12th appearance at Soldier Field, its first since the season opener in 1994 when the Wildcats were crushed by Notre Dame 42-15.
In the ensuing years, the Wildcats have become one of college football's most surprising programs, winning 19 games and two Big Ten titles and earning two trips to bowl games.

Chiefs leave room for Henley after trimming
Former Hawk beats veteran to clinch spot
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — This time of year, every coach in the NFL says the same thing. Marty Schottenheimer, judging from the lump in his throat, really means it.
The head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs released 10 players Tuesday, including J.J. Smith, a Kansas City native and former
Kansas State star who put in a solid year trying to rebound from severe knee surgery.
"They're all tough. But that one was particularly difficult," Schottenheimer said, Smith, who made the 53-man roster as an undrafted free agent in 1995, was disappointed, the coach said.
"That's one of the hard things about this thing," he said. "You take a young man who has devoted all that time to play in this league. I don't even know how much they pay me, but it ain't enough to do that kind of stuff. It's tough."
"I just don't want to talk right now," he said.
a teary-eyed Smith politely declined to be interviewed as he left Arrowhead Stadium.
heimer said.
Smith's misfortune was probably good news for another local favorite, June Henley. The rookie from Kansas, the Jav-
hawks' all-time leading rusher, had been locked in a battle with Smith for a backup win.
Also cut were backup quarterback Steve Matthews, defensive tackle David Barnard, safety Eddie Cade, tackle Wendall Gaines, wide receiver Eric
backup running back spot.

Smith, who gained 2,210 yards on 491 carries for Kansas State, returned a punt 50 yards for a
touchdown in an exhibition game against Washington during his rookie year and became an instant fan favorite.
But he suffered a severe knee injury during the offseason program in 1996 and spent the season on the injured list.
Schottenheimer said the injury was not a factor in Smith's release.
"Without any question he can play in the NFL," Schottenheimer said. "He had quickness. He has speed. He's developed the ability to catch the ball and he's always had excellent running skills. He was very disappointed, to say the least. He's very disappointed."
Henley, a bigger and more versatile back, still has not guaranteed himself a spot on the team, Schottenheimer said. All NFL teams must get down to their 53-man rosters on Sunday.
"We may be light on running backs," said Schottenheimer, who is thinking about keeping seven wide receivers.
"He's got more size, which affords him the opportunity to be a blocker. He does not have the quickness in his running style J.J. has. But he does have very good hands, and can catch the ball. It was a tough call."
As a three-year veteran, Smith could not be placed on the practice squad. But Henley could.

Penn State highly favored in talented Big 10
The Associated Press
Not only is Penn State favored to win the Big 10 Conference, the Nittany Lions find themselves ranked No.1 in The Associated Press preseason poll.
Yet when Coach Joe Paterno is asked about the expectations, he simply shrugs.
"Whether or not we should be favored in this conference doesn't impress me and it doesn't make me despondent, either," Paterno said.
"It's nice to have people looking at you, but I have no idea whether we should be picked first or sixth," he said. "There are too many ifs, and buts. We still have too many question marks."
The Buckeyes were picked second and Michigan third. Penn State, meanwhile, starts the season No. 1 for the first time in its history.
local hero Mike McQeary step in at quarterback and direct an offense featuring Heisman Trophy contender Curtis Enis? Paterno thinks so.
There is one big question: Can fifth-year.
"Mike has great leadership qualities, and he's got all the intangibles," Paterno said. "He doesn't have much experience, but he's paid his dues. We've had some luck with kids like him who are physically and mentally tough."
Enis (1,210 yards, 12 touchdowns) is one of 13 starters returning from last year's team.
The schedule is favorable, too. The two toughest games — against Ohio State (Oct.
11) and Michigan (Nov. 8) — are at home.
Northwestern, coming off a co-Big 10 title.
Five other Big 10 teams — Ohio State, Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan State — are ranked in the Top 25, so it won't be easy getting through the season without a loss. And then there's unranked
For the four schools with new coaches Illinois (Ron Turner), Indiana (Cam Cameron), Minnesota (Glen Mason) and Purdue (Joe Tiller) — any conference win will be cherished.
The Big 10 is loaded with stars, beginning with Ron Dayne, Wisconsin's Heisman hopeful who ran for 1,863 yards and 18 TDs as a freshman.
Other stars to watch: Ohio State linebacker Andy Katzenmoyer, Michigan cornerback Charles Woodson, Iowa wide receiver-return specialist Tim Dwight, Northwestern wide receiver D'Wayne Bates and Michigan State's Sedrick Irvin.
"With all the rivaries, and all the intensity and all the great players in the Big 10, it's difficult to get through the season unscathed," said Michigan Coach Lloyd Carr.
For two straight years, the Wolverines ended rival Ohio State's national title hopes by beating undefeated Buckeye teams.
But the Buckeyes' last-minute victory against Arizona State in the Rose Bowl revitalized Coach John Cooper, who has only nine starters returning.
Michigan, which has lost four games in each of the last four seasons, may have the Big 10's toughest schedule. In addition to ending the season with games against Penn State, Wisconsin and Ohio State, non-conference opponents include Colorado and Notre Dame.
Iowa Coach Hayden Fry, entering his 19th season, is optimistic despite road games against Ohio State, Michigan, Wisconsin and Northwestern.
With a big-play guy like Dwight, second in the nation in punt returns with an 18.95-yard average and two TDs, and quarterback
Matt Sherman (1,918 yards and 10 TDs), the Hawkeyes won't be pushovers.
Wisconsin's season depends on Dayne, all 5-10, 261 pounds of him. Last season, he ran over opponents as a freshman, and while Alvarez says he plans to pass more, don't read much into it. As the Great Dayne goes, so go the Badgers.
If Michigan State can learn to stop the opposition, the Spartans have a chance to surprise. With Irvin, quarterback Todd Schultz and 330-pound tackle Flozell Adams, the offense is in good hands. The defense, with 10 starters returning, can only improve after allowing 25.2 points per game.
Fame is fleeting for Northwestern and Coach Gary Barnett. Even though the Wildcats grabbed a piece of the Big 10 title after winning it in '95, the team hasn't received much fanfare for '97.
Washington top pick in Pac-10 after rebounding from probation
The Associated Press
After years of trying to recover from NCAA probation, Washington is back — in a big way.
Last season, the Huskies flexed their muscles by winning six in a row to close the regular season before a loss to Colorado in the Holiday Bowl left them at 9-3 — their best record since Jim Lambright replaced Don James four years ago.
"What a difference a few years make," said Lambright, whose Huskies are favored to win the Pac-10 Conference and start the season ranked fourth in The Associated Press preseason poll.
"It feels great to have all these positive things said about you when just a few years ago people couldn't even mention you because you were ineligible for the conference race."
When the Huskies were found guilty of numerous NCAA violations, James, their longtime coach, resigned and Washington was placed on two years' probation — ineligible for bowl games or the Pac-10 title.
It has taken the program three

years to get back to where it was during the early 1990s, when Washington went to three straight Rose Bowls (1990-92) and shared a national title with Miami in 1991.
Stanford, Southern California and UCLA could pose the strongest threats to Washington, while Arizona State will have a hard time repeating its undefeated regular-season of '96.
streak, capped by a 38-0 victory over Michigan State in the Sun Bowl, and finished 7-5.
At Southern Cal, where coach John Robinson's job may have been saved by an overtime win against Notre Dame, the Trojans have a lot of experience, except at quarterback, where Brad Otton has departed. John Fox and Quincy Woods are fighting for the starting spot, but redshirt freshman Mike Van Raaphorst could also figure into the mix.
The Stanford Cardinals will rely on quarterback Chad Hutchinson (2,134 yards and 10 TDs) and Mike Mitchell, who ran for 809 yards last season. Stanford, which lost five of its first seven games, finished with a five-game winning
"This team was sobered by last year's lack of success," Robinson said of the Trojans' 6-6 season. "We came off a Rose Bowl win and weren't very experienced, but everybody was very cocky going into last season."
UCLA has 16 returning starters, including quarterback Cade McNown and tailback Skip Hicks, who ran for 1,034 yards last season.
"Last year we had a new team and we put a new offense and defense together," Toledo said. "But now we know what to expect and we know everybody's comfort zone and that makes it a lot easier."
SEC may be Gator country
The Associated Press
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Florida coach Steve Spurrier can tie former Alabama coach Bear Bryant's record by winning his fifth straight SEC title this season.
It appears LSU and Tennessee will pose formidable threats to the Florida dynasty, which also is trying to join the Crimson Tide as only the second SEC team to win consecutive national titles. Alabama won titles in 1964-65 and 1978-79.
"We don't talk too much about the longevity thing — we talk about winning the Eastern Division first, then hopefully playing for the SEC," said Spurrier.
Florida's hopes for both titles could be decided Sept. 20, when the Gators entertain Tennessee.
Most of the pressure in the game should fall on Peyton Manning, who opted out of the NFL draft to return for his senior year at Tennessee. He is 28-4 as a starter, but winless in three appearances against the Gators, including a disastrous first half last year in which he threw four interceptions in a 35-29 loss.
"People say I'll know if I made the right decision on Sept. 20 ..." Manning said. "But I know I made the right decision on March 5, when I decided what I wanted to do. It came down to personal happiness."
"I would say, yes, we've closed the gap since I got here," Scott said. "But there still is a good gap between us and the elite in this conference."
If anyone in the East is to upset Florida or Tennessee, it could be South Carolina, although fourthyear coach Brad Scott concedes the Gamecocks have a way to go before they can start thinking about a division title.
Elsewhere in the East, Georgia is trying to rebound after a disappointing 5-6 season in coach Jim Donnan's first year. At Vanderbilt, Woody Widenhofer has been hired to turn around a program coming off consecutive 2-9 seasons. New Kentucky coach Hal Mumme has promised to throw the ball 40 times a game, which should be good for Tim Couch, the prized recruit who looked lost in Bill Curry's conservative offense last season.
Alabama has met Florida in four of five SEC title games since the conference went to divisional play in 1992.
LSU went 10-2 last season and made its second consecutive bowl appearance after missing for six straight years.
Coach Gerry DiNardo has quarterback Herb Tyler and running back Kevin Faulk (1,282 yards) for an offense that scored four or more TDs in seven games last year.
Auburn might have the most overall talent on offense in the West, but Terry Bowden — 16-8 the past two years after a 20-1-1 record the first two — is still trying to figure a way to make it blend. Dameyne Craig threw for 2,296 yards and has receivers Karsten Bailey, Tyrone Goodson and Hicks Poor returning.
Linebacker Takeo Spikes and nose guard Jimmy Brumbaugh lead a defense that was ravaged by injuries last year, when Auburn was forced to start nine underclassmen in the Alabama game.
After two years on probation, Mississippi is eligible for the conference title and a bowl game, but the scholarship losses included in the NCAA sanctions will make that difficult.

Westbrook faces suspension
The Associated Press
ASHBURN, Va. — So far, Washington Redskins receiver Michael Westbrook has been told only that he will miss today's exhibition game against Miami as punishment for punching teammate Stephen Davis at practice.
Worse penalties await him.
"We are treating this as a very serious matter," coach Norv Turner said yesterday. "Mike is going to be disciplined."
Turner would not say whether Westbrook would be suspended.
fined or both, but did say he expected the team's 1995 No. 1 draft pick, chosen fourth overall, to be back with the team in time for the season opener Aug. 31 at Carolina.
Tuesday's attack left Davis face down and bleeding, but Turner said the second-year running back did not sustain any injuries that would delay his rehabilitation from a knee injury.

happens
again."
"I talked with Stephen ... in terms that I'm going to handle it," Turner said. "It was wrong what happened. We just have to make
Westbrook's actions were condemned by several players, including quarterback Gus Frerotte.
---
"Was that a fight?" Frerotte said.
"It was one guy hitting another ..."
It makes no sense.
It appears the one-sided fight set back Westbrook's bid to win a starting job. Turner said he had planned to use the Dolphins game
to evaluate the receiver position.
"Obviously if you are competing for a position and one guy's there playing and one guy isn't, then the guy who's playing has an advantage," Turner said.
The coach said he was concerned that Tuesday's brawl might cause a split in the team so close to the start of the regular season, but that he had confidence in the team's veteran leadership.
"Sometimes it comes completely unexpected," he said. "One of the things you have to do to be successful is handle that adversity."
NFL facts show it's all in the numbers
24 statistics give prospects for'97 football season
By Dave Goldberg The Associated Press
Here are 24 numbers, from 0 to 22,980 that say a little about prospects for the 1997 NFL season:

Oiler has learned from past mistakes
The Associated Press
NASHVILLE. Tenn.
NASHVILLE, Tenn.
Anthony Dorsett came into the NFL last year with a lot of people watching how he measured up against his father Tony, the Hall of Famer and Heisman Trophy winner.
But Dorsett wound up spending most of his rookie season with the Houston Oilers on special teams. Now he promises he has learned from his rookie mistakes.
"Last year I thought I knew what I was doing. But it took me to this off season, like the first passings, for me to realize I was playing defense completely wrong." Dorsett said.
He also didn't take care of himself the way he should have.
Too many times during training camp last year, coaches had to remind Dorsett to drink water. He didn't listen and cramped up every day.
His biggest contribution came with five tackles on special teams.
"It's all been a maturing thing, and it's all turned out well," Dorsett said.
Dorsett was a far cry from what the Oilers thought they were getting when they picked him. While at Pittsburgh, he had 80 tackles and defensed 14 passes, with three interceptions, and also played some at wide
receiver.
Realizing that he hadn't taken advantage of his speed or size — big for a
A
cornerback at 5-foot-11, 203 pounds — Dorsett watched last season's films of himself. He then studied tape of cornerbacks his size like Kansas City's James Hasty for tips on how to use his body.
"it'repetition," he said. "That's basically what it bakes down to. It's just continuing to get practice at it over and over again."
The work has paid off so far
Dorsett is backing up left cornerback Steve Jackson and filled in last week when right cornerback Darryll Lewis left a preseason game with a hamstring strain. If Lewis isn't ready, Dorsett would start at left cornerback against Dallas on Friday night in their final exhibition.
"He's learning to play angles better," Fisher said. "He has the speed to run deep and to play deep, and he's made very, very few mental mistakes."
Off the field, Dorsett knows people will keep asking him about his father. But he's ready to make his own name.
"I'm not the type of person to give up or quit," he said. "I know I'm not a failure."

Top seeds face easy draws early at U.S. Open
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — If Pete Sampras set up the U.S. Open draw himself, he couldn't have chosen a much easier path through the early rounds than he received yesterday.
Sampras' name on the draw sheet was followed by "Q-Q-Q," meaning he'll play an as yet undetermined qualifier in the first round, with the winner meeting the survivor of a first-round match between two other qualifiers.
In going for his fifth U.S. Open title, and third straight, the top-seeded Sampras isn't likely to have a tough match at least until the quarterfinals, where he's seeded to play the Spaniard he beat in the Australian Open this year, No. 8 Carlos Mova.
Second-seeded Michael Chang, who lost to Sampras in the U.S. Open final last year.
drew a slightly more rigorous path. He opens against Patrik Fredriksson of Sweden, then is likely to play a more dangerous Swede, Mikael Tillstrom.
Unseeded Cedric Pioline of France, a Wimbledon finalist this year and U.S. Open finalist in 1993, is a dangerous floater in Chang's quarter.
Boris Becker, the 1989 champion who was expected to make this his last Grand
Slam event before retiring from the majors, withdrew because of the death this week of his manager and close friend, Axel Meyer-Woelden. Becker was seeded No.13.
One of the most intriguing first-round matches is between Thomas Muster of Austria and Tim Henman of Britain.
In the women's draw, No.1 Martina Hingis of Switzerland opens against American Tami Jones. Hingis then could play her former doubles partner, Helena Sukova.
Second-seeded Monica Seles opens against Kristie Boogert of the Netherlands.
Jennifer Capriati, who has been struggling to kick start her career again, didn't catch a break this time. She drew No. 7 Conchita Martinez in the first round.
Belle blames his performance for poor play of White Sox
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — The White Sox' best-paid player has ended a long silence to discuss the team's dismal play.
Albert Belle told reporters from the Chicago Sun-Times and the suburban Daily Herald in an interview Monday that he knew what the team's problem was.
It's him.
Speaking out about team chairman Jerry Reinsdorf's trading Wilson Alvarez, Danny Darwin and Harold Baines earlier this month, Belle told the Sun-Times that the team never would have been dismantled if he had been hitting better.
"I'm pretty sure those moves wouldn't have been made if I had been having the kind of season I should be having." Belle said. "I'll
take the blame."
Belle, who signed a five-year, $55 million contract with the White Sox in the offseason, hit .311 with 48 homers and a league-high 148 RBI in his last season with the Cleveland Indians. He has only has hit .261 with 23 home runs and 83 RBI for the 60-63 White Sox so far this year.
"I certainly could have been much more productive — not home runs so much as driving runners home." Belle said. "I haven't been doing it like I'm capable. It's what I'm supposed to do and I'm not."
Belle's performance in the first half of the season earned him a spot on the American League All-Star team. He had 18 homers and 70 RBI before the break.
Belle says that with 39 games to play, there's still time for the Sox to catch Cleveland in the AL Central.
Sox
"If we were 10 games out, that would be different, but
we're only five in back after all the moves we've made," he said.
"They've been booing lately and I can understand that," he said. "Having them cheer will help get all the guys going. We all like to hear that. Have them bring horns, whatever it takes. We'll hear them, no matter how many people come out."
The Associated Press
LEMONT, Ill. — Roger Tambelliini, a senior at the University of Southern California, shot a 3-under-par 69 on Tuesday to top the 64 match-play qualifiers in the 97th U.S. Amateur Championship.
Belle says fans still can play a role in turning things around.
Tambellini, of Templeton, Calif. played Cog Hill's No. 2 course Tuesday after opening Monday
with a 5-under 67 on the more difficult Dubsdread layout, the site of the match-play competition.
"I think I'm capable of winning," said Tambelliini, who had 10 birdies and only two bogeys in 36 holes. "If you come here thinking you're not capable of winning, you're stupid for being here."
Fallen Angel returning to ball club
Bryce Molder of Conway, Ark,
and Don Padgett III of Akron.
NEW YORK — Tony Phillips' suspension by the Anaheim Angels was overturned yesterday by an arbitrator, who ordered the team to immediately reinstate the outfielder to its active roster.
The Associated Press
Amateurs tee it up in tourney
In a highly unusual situation, the owners' Player Relations Committee sided with Phillips and the players' association against the Angels, who are operated by The Walt Disney Co.
"It is not for a third party to tell us what our agreements are," said Gene Orza, the associate general counsel of the players' association. "If it is true Disney is trying to portray itself as a defender of the forces that want to deal with the problems of drugs in our society, it really is a cheap shot, particularly for people who have no familiarity with all the work we do in this area, the clubs and the players' association."
After a 3 1/2-hour hearing, arbitrator Richard Bloch ruled the Angels had acted in violation of baseball's rules in suspending Phillips was arrested Aug. 10 on a felony charge of cocaine possession.
A high-ranking baseball management official said Anaheim's decision to suspend Phillips on Monday
was made by Disney chief executive officer Michael Eisner over the objection of team officials.
Disney, conscious of its image, has been under pressure since the Southern Baptist Convention voted in June to boycott the entertainment company, which owns 25 percent of the Angels.
CA
"We are deeply disappointed in the decision and believe that we were taking the appropriate course of action," the Angels said in a statement. "We are presently studying and evaluating the decision ... and are considering whether there are other avenues we can pursue."
Phillips, who attended the hearing, left immediately to return to the team, which played a double-header at home against the New York Yankees.
Angels general manager Bill Bavasi wouldn't say whether manager Terry Collins would play Phillips upon his return but said he's sure he will be welcomed back by his teammates.
Ohio, finished a stroke back at 7- under 137, while Jerry Courville Jr. of Milford, Conn., and Boyd Summerhays of Farmington, Utah,. followed at 138.
Molder and Summerhays had 68s and Padgett shot a 69.
"The hole was too small, and the ball was too big," Scott said. "I putted awful yesterday. It wasn't a lot of fun.
Steve Scott, a 38-hole loser to Tiger Woods in last year's final, failed to qualify for match play. The Florida star shot a 72 at Dub-
sdread for a 6-over 150 total, four strokes out of a playoff for the final 13 spots.
tently switching to a different model ball on the last hole. If the violation had been discovered earlier, he would have received a two-stroke penalty.
"It's my mistake," said Howard, who stood at 3-under 141. "Back home we don't have a rule like that. You can play a Heinz 57, any variety."
Scotland's Barclay Howard, the low amateur in the British Open, was disqualified for signing an incorrect scorecard after inadver-

THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
Budig impressive on first day
New technology gives classes a boost
(USPS 650-640)
By Mike Perryman
Kansan staff writer
The first day of classes in Budig Hall's three high-tech auditoriums left students and faculty in awe.
The newly-opened building, which features two 500-seat auditoriums and one 1,000-seat auditorium, was filled for the first time yesterday with learning, lecturing and a bit of confusion.
"There is a lot of stuff to use, and it
will all be a little overwhelming at first," said Catherine Shenoy, a lecturer in the School of Business. "But we will become more familiar with it."
Shenoy's class, a 9:30 a.m. section of Business 368, was the first class to use the hall's new multiscreen multimedia equipment. A half hour into class, she already had projected graphs and computer images onto all three of the auditorium's giant screens.
As he stood in the hallway during a break in the class, Olathe freshman Richard Cook said the screens in the auditorium looked like they belonged on a stadium scoreboard.
"The screens are huge and the chairs
are comfortable. It's pretty cool," he said.
Derick Enos, a St. Louis junior also waiting in the hallway, said he was impressed by the visual method of teaching.
"I think it's very helpful," he said. "The screens give you a better feel for what the teacher is trying to say.
Coffeyville sophomore Brad Shepard was pleased with the quality of the sound in the auditorium.
"It's pretty incredible. You could hear the instructor," he said.
James Vequist, director of the new building, sat in a central control room monitoring the activities in all three lecture halls. He said he thought the first few classes of the day ran smoothly.
"The screens are sure to be well-liked by teachers and students because the
information being taught is right up there for the students to see," he said.
Assistant Provost Richard Givens, who also is a professor of organic chemistry, answered reporters' questions outside one of the lecture halls. He said the next step would be for faculty to master the new technology.
"It will take some time and effort by the faculty to become comfortable with the new equipment," he said.
Because there are only three rooms, the use of the auditoriums would have to be limited to classes with at least 275 students and the need for the new technology. Givens said.
"The University still needs to raise money for some of the unfinished aspects of Budig, but it is good to see the auditorium up and running," he said.

First day of class: Syllabus, $5,000
Provost surprises professors with cash
By Matthew Friedrichs Kansan staff writer
Rick Snyder stood in the corner of the Spencer Museum of Art auditorium with pointer in hand as a procession of KU administrators and media members interrupted his psychology lecture yesterday.
"One of the pleasures of my job is interrupting classes like this," said Provost David Schulenberger.
Schulenberger then presented Snyder, professor of psychology, with a $5,000 W.T. Kemper Fellowship for Teaching Excellence. Eight other KU professors received the awards during surprise classroom visits.
"This is overwhelming," Snyder said. "It is a privilege to teach. There are so many students that over the years have enabled me to be a better teacher."
Excellence in teaching and advising are the common traits of all the award recipients, Schulenberger said.
A seven-member selection committee, made up of KU faculty members, students, and a KU alumnus, chose the Kemper fellows from nominations submitted by colleagues and students.
"So many times the University is known for its great research, it's known for athletic teams," said Jerry Samp, president of Commerce Bank Lawrence and a representative of the foundation. "We wanted to demonstrate to Kansans that there's some outstanding teaching happening at KU."
The Fellowships are funded by a $250,000 gift from the William T. Kemper foundation. The KU Endowment Association provided $250,000 in matching funds.
Eleven more professors in Lawrence and at the KU Medical Center will receive Kemper Fellowships during the next week.
This is the second year of a five-year commitment by the Kemper Foundation.

Students in the interrupted classes responded with applause after each presentation.
Matt Weingard, Lawrence senior, watched professor of history Ted Wilson accept an award during History 630.
"He's a very energetic professor. He really controls the classroom," said Weingard, who previously has had Wilson as an instructor. "He's a good leader along with a teacher."
The money will be added to the professors' next paychecks.
Charlene Muehlenhard, associate professor of psychology and women's studies, said she didn't have immediate plans to spend the money, although she did suggest she might spend some on her family.
"I've been to the Grand Canyon this summer," she said, as she looked at her husband in the back of the room. "Shall we go back?"
More machines, less choice hallmarks of Coke deal
By Matthew Friedrichs
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas' exclusive softdrink provider agreement with Coca-Cola has given students a Coke machine on every corner.
As a result of the deal, the number of softdrink vending machines in Lawrence has nearly doubled from last year. Thirsty consumers at KU may now purchase beverages from 225 machines, said Kevin Morris of the Coca-Cola Bottling Company. KU Concessions formerly stocked 116 machines.
"There seems to be one on every floor," said Jason Hart, Dodge City law student. "In one building I saw one 20 feet from another. There's a certain amount of commercial saturation that's ridiculous and we've reached that point."
Students will no longer have the choice of buying Very fine juice, Snapple, California Spring Water, or Pepsi products, said Jim Long, director of the Kansas and Burge Unions. Instead, students must select beverages from the Coca Cola family such as Powerade, Minute Maid, Nestea and Fruitonia.
Next year, the University plans to imple
menta "a smart card" that students can use to make electronic purchases across campus, said Theresa Klinkenberg, Director of Administration. With the card students will also be able to purchase soft drinks from machines equipped with debit-card readers.
Beverage prices will not rise for the next two years. Klinkenberg said.
Coca-Cola set 20-ounce prices at 85 cents and will maintain 12-ounce prices at 60 cents. Further pricing decisions will be made by the University and Coca-Cola.
Long said Pizza Hut, a PepsiCo Company,
would remain in the Kansas Union.
A partnership council with the University and Coca-Cola representatives will handle all decisions about price changes and operational issues. Details of who will comprise the council should be determined next month.
Some members of the university community remain unconvinced about the agreements value.
"I have mixed feelings," said Lloyd Sponholtz, associate professor of history. The University runs the risk of commercialization, but also needs additional money for programs like scholarships. Sponholtz said.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway emphasized the positive aspects of public-private partnerships, while admitting that the University will be cautious in its approach.
"The University has to be very careful about entering any exclusive provider agreement." Hemenway said. "I don't foresee a lot of these."
Student awakes to exposed man
Kansan staff report
A man exposed himself to a 21-year-old KU student early yesterday outside an apartment complex in the 3800 block of Clinton Parkway.
The woman heard a knock on her bedroom window at 1:55 a.m., said Lawrence Police Set. Susan Hadl.
The victim described the man as a dark-haired, trim white man in his 20's, six feet tall and 180 pounds.
The student went to the window and saw a naked man masturbating outside, police said. The woman left the window to call the police and when she returned the man was gone.
Yes, all this madness has one motive: readership
Purpose is to foster quicker access to news
The old "Kansan" design was well past its prime, so it was put to rest. In its place is a new design which took nearly a year to put together.
Whether that work was worth- while will be up to the readers.
For those who have not yet noticed, the "University Daily Kansan" has a new look.
In the news section, the top of the page has been changed to give the next day's weather, phone numbers and e-mail addresses to contact the newsroom and information
Spencer Duncan
editor@kansan.com
boxes to tell readers what is in the rest of the paper.
Every byline now has the name of the person who wrote the story and will soon have their e-mail addresses. This is to make the "Kansan" staff accessible to those outside the newsroom.
Inside the paper, page 2A has changed dramatically. The On Campus section, which used to offer student organizations the chance to print meeting announcements for free, has been moved to Classifieds. Any organization wanting to place something in On Campus must must now buy the space for $1 per day. This guarantees that the notice will get into the paper and cannot be cut.
The page will also be used for campus, national and international news briefs.
In Sports, the Scores and More section has been removed from page 2B. The page, which gave statistics and game scores, has been replaced with horoscopes, television listings, a sports calendar and sports news from around the country.
After Labor Day the paper will change even more. Every day the back page of the Kansas will have a distinctive look.
Monday and Wednesday's pages will be filled with feature stories that take a closer look at campus and the Lawrence community. Thursday's back page will be dedicated to photo stories.
Each Tuesday there will now be a Technology page, called "Campus Bytes!" It will feature stories on campus technology, weekly columns by students and campus technical advisors and game reviews.
But the biggest change will be on Fridays.
The "Kansan" will be experimenting with an idea that few have tried before. After Labor Day, Friday's paper will be called the "University Daily Kansan Weekend Edition." It will still contain news stories, but will focus more on what is happening in Lawrence and Kansas City throughout the weekend.
It will have a night life calendar and movie, music, theater and restaurant reviews. There will be a "hot sheet" examining the most talked-about subjects on campus the past week and a "quotes of the week" section.
These changes have been made to make the paper more exciting, so have fun with them.
We will.
Duncan is a Topeka senior in journalism and is the editor.

Shroud of morning fog leads to deadly accident
CONWAY SPRINGS, Kan. — Clutching a set of beads and likely saying the rosary with some of her closest friends, Norma Jean Halsey was on a somber journey to a funeral in southeast Kansas.
But the group never made it. Amid
Fatal crash Lawrence Fraddonia
hard early-morning thick early-morning turned into the path of women's Chevy Suburban at the inter-Wichita
section of Kansas Highway 93 and highway 96 Wednesday, killing Halsey and two others just north of Fredonia.
A carload of priests, also on their way to the funeral, came upon the wreckage a few minutes after the crash. The priests were able to administer last rites to the victims, said the Rev. David Linnebur.
Halsey, 61, and Marcelline Weber, 72, both of Conway Springs, and Dora Devlin, 70, of Viola, died at the scene. The driver and four other passengers were taken to hospitals in Wichita and Joplin, Mo., the Kansas Highway Patrol said. Three were listed in critical condition yesterday in Wichita.
"My mother was found with rosary beads wrapped around her hand," said Tammy Porter, as she held her mother's worn pink beads in an HCA Wesley Medical Center hospital lounge.
Ms. Porter said the group was more than likely saying the rosary on their way to the funeral in Pittsburg, where services were being held for the mother of their former priest, the Rev. Robert Wachter.
Linnebur, the new pastor at St. Joseph Catholic Church, left the funeral Mass at Pittsburg to go to Fredonia and identify the bodies. Just six weeks into his new position, Father Linnebur had the job of notifying parishioners about the deaths.

FBI agent faces charges after Ruby Ridge shooting
BONNER'S FERRY, Idaho — An FBI sharpshooter who killed the wife of white separatist Randy Weaver in the 1992 standoff at Ruby Ridge was charged with manslaughter yesterday. A friend of Weaver's was charged with killing a federal marshal.
Boundary County Prosecutor Denise Woodbury filed the state charges after a two-year federal investigation ended last week with no charges being brought against the FBI sniper, Lon Horiuchi, or several high-ranking FBI officials.
FBI Director Louis Freeh said he was "deeply disappointed" by Woodbury's action. He said the FBI would do everything it could to defend Horiuchi.
The 13-year FBI veteran is "profoundly distressed and troubled" by the charge, said his attorney, Adam S. Hoffinger. Manslaughter carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.
Kevin Harris, a friend of the Weaver family, was charged with first-degree murder in the death of Deputy U.S. Marshal William Degan, who was killed with Weaver's 15-year-old son, Samuel, in the shootout that sparked the 11-day siege at the remote mountain cabin.
The standoff at the Weavers' home near
Weaver and Harris were tried in federal court in 1993 on a myriad of charges, including murder and conspiracy. They were found not guilty of the more serious charges, although Weaver was convicted of failing to appear for trial on the firearms charge.
Naples began after federal agents tried to arrest Randy Weaver for failing to appear in court to face charges of selling two illegal sawed-off shotguns.
Harris, who now lives in Republic, Wash., is also charged with aggravated assault for allegedly firing at another officer. The murder charge carries a death penalty because a law enforcement officer was killed.
Cigarette maker admits smoking may be killer
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The chairman and CEO of Philip Morris Cos said yesterday that cigarettes might have killed 100,000 Americans, the first time an executive with the nation's largest cigarette maker has acknowledged a possible link between smoking and death.
The remark by Geoffrey Bible comes as Congress prepares to consider a $368 billion settlement that would wipe out most lawsuits against the industry.
Bible made the statement toward the end of 90 minutes of questioning by Ron Motley, an attorney for the state of Florida, which is suing the tobacco industry for $12.3 billion for the public cost of smoking-related illnesses.
Florida was the first of 40 states suing the major tobacco companies to bring a case to trial. Attorneys said they plan to prove the industry manufactured a defective product and deceived the public about smoking's dangers.
"I was impressed with the man's candor," said Motley, who on Friday will question Steven F. Goldstone, chairman and chief executive of RJR Nabisco.
Peter Bleakley, who represents Philip Morris and is the lead defense attorney in the Florida lawsuit, played down the significance of Bible's comments, which came as jury selection was ending its third week.
"I thought it was pretty uneventful," he said.
Motley called the comments a major concession. Aside from one industry maverick, Bennett LeBow, no top tobacco executives have conceded unequivocally that a single death has been caused by cigarette smoking.
LeBow, chief of the smallest of the major cigarette makers, Liggett Group, has said that cigarettes kill and are addictive.
SAN FRANCISCO — A federal appeals court yesterday reaffirmed its ruling
Affirmative action ban may go to Supreme Court
upholding California's voter-approved ban on race and sex preferences in affirmative action, meaning the law could go into effect within a week.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said a request by civil rights groups for a rehearing on Proposition 209 had failed to gain a majority among the 18 judges eligible to vote. No vote total was announced.
American Civil Liberties Union lawyer Mark Rosenbaum said he would appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court and would ask that court to continue a ban on enforcement of the measure during the appeal, if the appeals court refused to maintain that ban.
If neither court intervenes immediately, Proposition 209 can be implemented in seven days under the court's rules, Rosenbaum said.
He predicted the Supreme Court would agree to review the case and said 23 states were considering similar measures.
"This is the first time in the nation's history that state and local government have had their hands tied when it comes to remedying past discrimination against minorities and women," the ACLU lawyer said.
A lawyer for sponsors of the initiative said the appeals court's action makes it less likely the Supreme Court will review the case.
But if the court grants review, "I am confident it will find that the citizens of California acted in the letter and spirit of the Constitution when they voted to end racial preferences last November," Michael Carvin, of the Center for Individual Rights, said in a statement.
VMI initiation rite pushes one woman, 13 men out
LEXINGTON, Va. — The first woman to drop out of Virginia Military Institute's tortuous "rat line" left after deciding the regimented lifestyle and constant mental harassment were not for her.
The woman, who left late Wednesday night, joins 13 men in dropping out of this year's freshman class of 460 who arrived at the school on Monday. VMI ended its 158-year-old all-male policy this year with the admission of 30 women. The school refused to identify those who left.
"She just felt the military system was not for her," Tom Warburton, a senior, said of the woman student. Warburton and the school's professional counselors talked to the woman for several hours to make sure she really wanted to quit.
The woman had finished the opening day of the six-month tribulation VMI uses to test the physical, mental and emotional limits of all first-year students, or "rats." Until March, each rat must observe strict rules of discipline, live in spartan barracks, march at attention wherever they go on campus and do endless rounds of
pushups.
Wednesday afternoon, 108 upper class drillmasters got face-to-face with the rats and began screaming orders, insults and arcane questions at them, punishing the slightest lapses with pushups and other exercise.
During the dinner break, with a few hours of light military drills still ahead before the 10:30 p.m. curfew, the woman decided she could not endure four years in such a system, Warburton said.
The Supreme Court ruled in June 1996 that the state-supported school must accept women. VMI began planning to integrate women into its corps shortly afterward, determined not to suffer the embarrassment South Carolina's military college. The Citadel, endured since Shannon Faulkner became the first woman to enroll there in 1995.
INTERNATIONAL Sacred cow bones make interesting water filter
LONDON — At least they're not using mad cows.
A north England utility is filtering some of its water supply through the bones of sacred cows that have been burned into charcoal and horrified vegetarians are turning off their taps.
Yorkshire Water PLC says it uses only bones imported from India, where cows are considered sacred and allowed to live out their natural lives. Their old, brittle bones make perfect raw material for charcoal filters.
Using cattle from Western societies that slaughter them young for beef would not work so well because "their bones, like a human baby's, are still relatively soft," Yorkshire Water said in a statement.
Yorkshire Water, which nonplussed Brits once before when a utility executive made a point of stopping bathing during a 1995 drought, said its water meets all safety standards. However, it said "we can't undertake to supply water which meets individual dietary needs or individual religious, ethical or medical needs."
The company assures that because all bones are imported, there is no way any of Britain's mad cows — believed to cause a rare but fatal human brain ailment — could end up as water filter.
The Vegetarian Society, which campaigns against the use of animal products, is not impressed.
"Vegetarians throughout Yorkshire will be sickened by this move," spokesman Steve O'Connor said yesterday.
"It is impossible for the consumer to choose their water supply. Therefore, we are left in the frightening situation where we can no longer trust what comes out of our taps."
Yorkshire Water spokesman Norman Hurst refused to answer questions.

Masks, prizes add fun to spooky movie
Film to give students a "Scream" on the hill
By Gwen Olson Kansan staff writer
Students are invited to a date with a psychopath featuring mystery, murder and mayhem - and it won't cost a thing.
Student Union Activities will present a free screening of Wes Craven's "Scream" beginning at 8 p.m. Sunday on Campanile hill as the 1997 Movie on the Hill.
"The screen will be up on the south end of the stadium," said Michelle Dennard, Chapman senior and SUA president. "As soon as it gets dark enough, we'll start the show."
Ana Calderon, Shawne senior and SUA feature film coordinator, warned students to be prepared for some added frights.
"We did try to find some masks to help liven things up. I would love it if people dressed up," she said.
Calderon said that people who wanted a good seat should arrive before 8 p.m. because she expected a good turnout for the show.
"Usually there's about 1,000 people there," she said. "It's always been kind of a winding down of Hawk Week."
Before the show begins, SUA members will hand out information about future events and other information about SUA. There will also be items given out to students who attend the screening, including T-shirts and key chains.
Students who work up an appetite or a thirst from their fear can get some refreshments during the show.
"We are still working on concessions, but we're going to at least serve soft drinks." Calderon said.
KU recently hired Bryan Eklud, Chad Kleppin and John Vetter. This is the first time since 1991 that new officers have been added to the previous force total of 24. Photo by Chris Hamilton/KANSAN
Calderon said that she felt this year's event would be a success.
"We usually show older movies, but this year we got a movie that is pretty new so it should be really fun," she said.

New officers add muscle to KU police department
Force to expand roster on Sept. 4
By Mary Corcoran
Kansan staff writer
The KU police department will be three men stronger Sept. 4 when new officers officially join the department.
After a six-year hiring hiatus because of budget cuts, KU police hired Officers Bryan Eklud, Chad Kleppin and John Vetter.
"The budget affected our ability to hire new people," said KU police Sgt. Chris Keary. "When people left we didn't fill the positions."
The police department had 35 officers in the early 1990s, Keary said. By June of this year, the department had waned to 24 officers.
The three new officers have been with the force since Aug. 4, but will not hit the streets until Sept. 4, Keary said. After that, they will complete a 12-week training period called rotation field training, in which they ride along with other KU police officers.
The department's hiring procedure begins with a help wanted ad placed in local newspapers. Interested parties take their applications to the human resources department in Carruth O'Leary Hall.
The applicants then must take a state-designed test. These test scores determine who the police department will interview.
The eight people the department decided to interview then took a behavioral analysis test to determine if they would be suited for jobs as University police officers, said Robert Harrington, professor of psychology, who administered the behavioral test.
After the psychological test, the recruits had another interview as well as a medical exam and a drug test.
Finally, department chief
Eklud, 26, comes to the department from a security job at a store in Topeka. He graduated from Washburn University with a degree in criminal justice.
Ralph Oliver reviewed the applications and determined which of the applicants would work for the University.
Kleppin, 25, comes from the Shawnee County Sheriff's Office. He also graduated Washburn University with a degree in criminal justice.
Vetter, 35, previously worked as a dispatcher at the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta, Ga. He received police academy training in Georgia.

Increased parking fines, permits are a necessary evil, so pay up
The most hated department on campus gave us another reason to hate it. For the second year in a row, the Parking Department raised the cost of parking permits.
For those of you who have not purchased a parking permit yet, blue and red permits rose by $25. while yellow and University housing permits increased to $75 from $53 last year. In addition, parking fines were increased to $20 from $15.
The Parking Department is not out to bankrupt students, however. A little-circulated fact about the department is that it is self sufficient, meaning that the revenue from parking permits and tickets funds all Parking Department expenditures. That includes repairs on parking lots, new
Price for parking on campus is raised again, but the costs are needed for improvements.
lights (including the utility bill), and employee salaries.
So while the recent price hike may be a thorn in our sides, it is necessary to pay for improvements to our parking lots. For example, the Department resurfaced and extended a lot on Daisy Hill, creating 193 new spaces. Lines on lots on Daisy Hill were remarked and a parking garage was torn down and replaced with a new lot for Jayhawker Towers residents. And the department is still trying to increase lighting in the lots.
This may sound great if you live on Daisy Hill. But for anyone else, especially those students who purchase yellow permits that don't allow parking in improved areas, it sounds like you are getting the shaft. Not to worry, however. Eventually, the Parking Department will have to get around to improving yellow lots, and Daisy Hill residents will share in the cost of those improvements.
Spreading the cost around is the only way to raise enough money to accomplish anything. As Donna Hultine, the assistant director for the Parking Department, explained, the budget from last year was simply not enough to deal with the improvements needed for the University's aging parking lots.
Nicole Skalla for the editorial board
A fake license no longer a felony
The state legislation made the right decision in amending the false identification felony charge. As of May 1, 1997 it was changed to a misdemeanor
It is understandable that the state officials want to reduce the number of underage drinkers in Kansas, but issuing felonies was too harsh.
This is not a debate whether people should or should not be able to drink. We are all adults and can make that decision for ourselves. The sad fact was that underage drinkers were being faced with the same dilemmas that convicted murderers and rapists undergo - felonies on their records.
What impact can a felony have?
Every time you fill out a job application you would have to answer "yes"
when asked if you had ever been convicted of a felony. Realizing that murder is categorized in the same way, think of the impact this would have on you and your reputation.
Legislators made the right choice in lowering the penalty for false identification
That is not the only problem. Some professions are legally unable to hire someone who has a felony on their record. Some of these jobs include child care and law. Also effected are those in law enforcement, such as the CIA and the FBL. One drink could have cost you your future.
The law lasted one year and did a lot of damage. The Lawrence Municipal
Court averages 20 cases a month dealing with minors and alcohol. Think of how many people you know that have fake identification, it could have been them or you who received the felonies.
It is evident that Lawrence would be a prime spot for officers to investigate. There are more than 26,000 students at KU. 99% of college students nationwide describe themselves to be social or binge drinkers according to a recent Harvard study. The government has made its point in showing how they feel about underage drinking and the drastic measures they are willing to take to reduce it.
Drinking alcohol is different than holding a gun to someone's head. Drinkers are not convicts and should never have been treated as such.

thoughts in my mind.
I was born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the country formerly known as Zaire. The central African nation just came out of a civil war that toppled former dictator Mobutu Sese Seko and installed Laurent Kabila as the new head of state. Since its independence from Belgium in 1960, the Congo has had many problems, some of them very serious.
Social problems are created by people and can only be prevented and solved by people. Each one of us is responsible. Every thought we think, every emotion we feel, every word we say, every act we commit either improves or worsens the world. We are, individually and collectively, in one way or another, responsible for the events on our planet. Our sins are both sins of commission and sins of omission.
I am not the prime minister of the former Zaire or Venezuela. I am not the U.S. Secretary of State. I am not the Secretary General of the United Nations. What I am doing now may not have that kind of visibility, but I am working to make this world a better place for everybody to live. Every night I go to sleep in peace, knowing that the world is a little bit better because I have been here and I have done my part to improve it.
in the meantime, I have traveled around the world, and have become both a Venezuelan and a U.S. citizen by naturalization. Because I was required to study each countries' history to become a naturalized citizen, my knowledge of the problems that affect the nations deepened. So, when the professor told me about the "mess" of the Congo, my mind went to work.

As a new academic year starts at the University of Kansas, I am excited about the many opportunities I have to make a difference in the lives of people. Am I a dreamer? You bet. Am I nuts? I do not think so, for human history has shown that positive change usually starts with only one person. As Shakti Gawain has put it, "the most powerful thing you can do to change the world is to change your own beliefs about life, people, reality ... to something more positive and begin to act accordingly."
The KU community is actually a world in itself. It comprises students from about 120 nations (a mini United Nations). We are all here to participate in that wonderful enterprise called higher education. From here, we will take our respective places in the world. We might become political, business, religious, or academic leaders, or take humbler positions in the various fields of human endeavor. No matter where we decide to reside we will be living in a world that is becoming a literal Global Village.
Because we are destined to live in an increasingly interdependent world full of shared challenges, it is useful to probe the following questions: How do social problems like those faced by the Congo, Venezuela, the United States, or any other country develop? How can they be solved? Who should solve them? In making this

King-sized Elvis Presley a hunk of burnin' love
T. ord a Mighty, I feel my temperature risin'.
Unless you've been living under a rock, you probably know that last Saturday was the 20th anniversary of Elvis Presley's death. And, in celebration of The King, thousands of fans, or
fanatics, depending on how you view them, gathered at his home in Memphis, Tenn., to pay homage.
All the while, Turner Networks and VH-1 reran entirely too many bad Elvis movies on TV. I don't enjoy 30 hours of anything, especially Elvis.
But with that said, I do have a small confession to make: I am an Elvis fan.
MARY A.
Ashlee Roll opinion@kansan.com
There are two types of Elvis fans: Those that like the younger, thinner, talented Elvis and those that like the *Aloha from Hawaii* Elvis. Generally, those people partial to latter-day Elvis also are those that claim to own his toenail clingings and believe he's still alive.
Although I don't own any personal Elvis artifacts, and I'm pretty convinced he is dead, I am partial to the later Elvis—the bloated, jumpsuit wearing, lyric forgetting, karate chopping, Las Vegas Elvis.
Elvis' final image was the inevitable result of a red necked that just had entirely too much money
for his own good. For
proof of this, one need

now the most visited home in America (it just surpassed the White House. What does that say about our country?).
In pictures, Graceland always looked simple and neat. But upon entering the home of The King, I realized it was really the home of kitsch, and laughed non-stop throughout the tour.
The tour was conducted by headphones. And the voices of Kris Kirstofferson and Priscilla Presley quietly tell you that Elvis redecorated in the '70s, as if the blue velvet curtains with the bright yellow trim didn't give that little factoid away.
The tour guides also inform you that the dining room is where Elvis ate. I never would have guessed that. But I learned that Elvis once ate meatloaf for dinner 26 days in a row.
They tell you that the kitchen of Graceland was one of Elvis' favorite rooms. Apparently the 300 pounds he was carrying around wasn't a big enough clue.
But my favorite room at Graceland was the TV room. Three TVs nestled among the blue, yellow and white Corinthian leather. Not to mention the gigantic TCB with a lightning bolt painted on the wall. Those of you with a social life might not know that TCB was Elvis' motto. It stands for 'takin' care of business in a flash'.
You might be a redneck if... the "motto" on your wall matches the "motto" embossed on your plane, that matches the "motto" on your jewelry. Which, by the way, is available in one of the seven gift shops at Graceland.
The disappointment of Graceland was that the tour never took us upstairs. For $17.50, I wanted to see the whole place, including the bathroom where Elvis had a "heart attack" while takin' care of a little personal business.
Comedian Dennis Leary once said that someone should have shot Elvis in 1958, so that we could remember him in a good way, instead of bloated and fat, dying on the toilet. I am inclined to agree with Mr. Leary, and apparently so is the
Presley estate. There are no traces of fat Elvis memorabilia anywhere on the premises.
Every exhibit — the cars, the guns,
the bad outfits, the unused gym —
expressed to me that Elvis was a very lonely man, who used money to buy happiness.
Pictures of a young Elvis at Sun studios show a happy man. Had he just stuck with a nice little house, a couple of pink Cadillacs, a few hit records, he might not be the joke or the enterprise he is today.
Now, when most people think of Elvis, they think of him with a black hair-helmet and pasted on smile singing about a smorgasbord in a bad movie.
But whether you like him or not, I learned that he deserves a little respect, all fat jokes aside. He was generally a nice celebrity and as a young man he revolutionized the music we call rock and roll. Long live The King.

Evaluations a hot topic once again for Sullivan
By Tim Harrington
Kansan staff writer
Sullivan reiterated his intentions Wednesday night during the
Without missing a beat from last year, Student Body President Scott Sullivan is continuing a campaign to return faculty evaluations to students.
during his speech at the convocation c er e m o y. Promising to lead t he charge to release faculty evaluations, Sullivan said e very student

Sullivan: Wants faculty evaluations released.
should know something about their teachers before stepping into the classroom
Sullivan contends that understanding teaching style and professor accessibility should not be a learn-as-yougo process. He proposes a system of compiling statistical data resulting in a professor performance guide available to students.
"With the advent of linear tuition it's important that you know what kind of product you're getting." Sullivan said.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway said, "It's good for the faculty and students to have a dialogue on this issue. There's no clear right or wrong here. It's a matter of making sure everyone's rights are respected."
Hemenway could provide the push to turn Sullivan's intentions into reality. Although he has said that faculty evaluations are a part of the faculty's personal records, which by state law cannot be made public, the chancellor has made no final decision on the issue.
Jarek Piealkiewicz, professor of political science, distinguished lecturer of western civilization and 32-year veteran of the KU faculty, is not afraid of having his teaching evaluations released.
"I'm very much in favor of it," he said. "I think students have a right to know about their teachers."
John Ralston, professor of physics and astronomy, said that while he would have no argument with making his evaluations public, both students and faculty have complicated issues at stake in the issue.
"Comments students make have to be confidential or they wouldn't feel free to make them," Ralston said.

'OPT-OUT' can keep vehicle records out of the public eye
By Ann Premer Kansan staff writer
For the first time, Kansas drivers will have the opportunity to close their vehicle records to the public.
The "OPT-OUT" program, which was mandated by the federal government and takes effect Sept. 13, requires that states offer residents the opportunity to have their vehicle owner and registration records, driver's license information, and identification card records withheld from public access.
In order for a person to close his vehicle records to the public, he must complete and return a form to the State Motor Vehicles Office in Topeka. The forms are available at driver's license exam stations or county treasurers' offices across the state.
People also can "OPT-OUT" when they renew their driver's licenses or vehicle registration records.
"I choose not to have my records open," said Valerie Sargent, Lawrence first-year law student, after she renewed her license at the Lawrence driver's license exam office, 200 Iowa St. "It's not that you have anything to hide. It’s just that people don’t need to know everything."
After Sept. 13, vehicle records of those who opted out will be open only to parties approved by the federal government. For
example, law enforcement agents, insurance agencies, employers and automotive companies making safety recalls will be able to access all vehicle records, said Sheila Walker, public information officer for the Kansas Department of Revenue.
A stalking case in California prompted the Federal Privacy Act of 1994, which called for all states to begin the "OPT-OUT" program, Walker said. States not complying with the mandate by the deadline will be fined $5,000 per day.
The Kansas Division of Motor Vehicles started offering "OPT-OUT" forms in January.
The "OPT-OUT" program also will encompass records available online through the Information Network of Kansas, which was created by the state legislature to provide access to government information.
Previously, Kansans' vehicle records and driver's license records have been accessible—for a fee—at county treasurers' offices.
In order to access vehicle records online, a person must subscribe to the network and pay a fee for each record obtained. Subscribers also use a log-in ID and a password which allows the network to track their usage.
After Sept. 13, users of the Web
Opting out
Some facts about the "OPT-OUT" program, which allows drivers to choose whether their driving and vehicle records will be open to the public:
- "OPT-OUT" forms are available at drivers license exam stations and county treasurers' offices across the state.
- Residents also may choose to "OPT_OUT" when they register their vehicle, renew their vehicle registration, or apply for or renew a driver's license.
- "OPT-OUT" takes effect Sept.

site who are not approved by the federal government will not be able to access the closed vehicle records.
Most of the information on the site will be available to the pub- lering charge, said Debra Luling, director of marketing for the network.
"The Information Network of Kansas is the official Web site for the state of Kansas," Luling said. "We provide information on a state, county and local level."

New nationwide clothing store draws customers,critics
Lower prices,familiar brand brings new look to downtown shopping
By Rachelle Detweiler
Kansan staff writer
When Abercrombie and Fitch Company opened on Aug. 5, the business provided a new, squeaky-clean face to the old building at 645 Massachusetts St.
What remains to be seen is the effect of a nationally-owned store on Lawrence's downtown economy.
University students are what attracted the store, said Charlie Armstrong, Lawrence store manager. Because the business was expanding and had 140 stores nationwide, Armstrong said that he was not worried about attracting customers.
"There are more college students than activists." Armstrong said. "I've heard they want to keep corporations out of downtown. Downtown does have a small-town feel, but in the late '90s and with the millennium coming, that won't happen."
When Lenexa, Overland Park and Kansas City students move to Lawrence, they are already familiar with the brand, he said. For these students, the downtown location offers a convenient location to snatch up the store's clothing.
Gary Toebben, president of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, said an advantage of larger stores was that they drew shoppers from outside areas. Visitors will travel to the well-known store, but also shop at other locally-owned
locations.
Any business that strengthens retail downtown Lawrence is an asset, said David Longhurst, president of Downtown Lawrence.
One thriving local retailer is Waxman Candles. Lori Hosking, show room manager of the shop at 609 Massachusetts St., said that Abercrombie had made good use of the facility and that the new store took advantage of Waxman's long Lawrence history and large customer base when considering a location.
"It won't detract business," Hosking said. "I do know we'll see their bags at Christmas time and they'll see ours." Longhurst also said that if a store came into town, it must respect the mix by taking advantage of the character of stores around it.
Only national retailers have formula stores for the building's exterior. Such stores look identical from town to town.
Often the architecture does not compliment the surrounding stores. Though Abercrombie, a formula store, does not have a style like neighboring buildings, its facade is an improvement over previous occupant Lawrence National Bank, Longhurst said.
Bryan Duncan, Lawrence resident, agreed that Abercrombie improved downtown's appearance.
He said that the store complimented the architecture and that only an outlying mall would injure the economy.
The lack of such a mall makes Lawrence unique for cities of its size, Toebben said.
"A suburban shopping center would pull retail dollars from downtown and leave a hole in the community," he said.
"I've heard they want to keep corporations out of downtown.Downtown does have a small town feel, but in the late '90s and with the millennium coming, that won't happen.
Charlie Armstrong Abercrombie and Fitch manager
Even though Abercrombie is an established name brand and attracts outside consumers downtown, some Lawrence residents are upset about the store's construction.
Amelia Murtagh, Lawrence freshman, said she saw many downtown developments while growing up in Lawrence. Although Murtagh is not too distraught about the commercialization of downtown, she expresses her opinion against nationally-owned stores by purchasing products from locally owned stores.
"If I had a direct say, I'd say no to larger stores," Murtagh said. "It's just a trend. A corporate yuppie trend."
She said that the nationally-owned stores tend to have higher prices and less variation in styles than a locally owned store. Shopping at a store like Arizona Trading Company makes more sense to her because of the lower prices and product originality.

Drugs unable to stop staph germ
New antibiotic needed to fight stubborn strain
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — A staph germ, which has resisted medicine's drug of last resort, has shown up for the first time in the United States and may soon be unstoppable, government officials said yesterday.
"The timer is going off," said William Jarvis, a medical epidemiologist with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "We were concerned it would emerge here. It has emerged here, and we are concerned we're going to see it popping up in more places."
A strain of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria found in a Michigan man in July showed an intermediate level of resistance to vancomycin — which is one step from immunity to the drug, the CDC
said. The CDC and the Michigan Department of Health would not identify the man or say where he lives.
The patient, who suffered kidney failure, had been taking vancomycin for a year and a half for a recurring infection from an abdominal catheter used for kidney dialysis. He was successfully treated with a combination of drugs, including vancomycin, Jarvis said.
The Michigan discovery came three months after a similar resistant strain was found in Japan.
In May, the CDC reported that a 4-month-old Japanese infant developed staph from a boil after heart surgery. That strain of staph also showed an intermediate resistance to vancomycin, and the baby was treated with other drugs.
U. S. hospitals were alerted to watch for the strain here.
"Now that you have two in such a short time, there will be heightened concern," said Richard Schwalbe, director of clinical microbiology at the University of Maryland.
of hospital infections. They are blamed for about 13 percent of the nation's 2 million hospital infections each year, according to the CDC. Overall, the 2 million infections kill 60,000 to 80,000 people.
Staph bacteria are the No.1 cause
The bacteria can collect on clothing, blankets, walls and medical equipment. Hospital workers can pass them on by hand, and they can cling to tubes inserted into the body.
To combat their spread, many hospitals across the country have restricted use of their most potent antibiotics and isolated their sickest patients.
For patients, the rise of drugresistant germs means that the medicine they get for their infection may not make them better, forcing doctors to switch to one or more of the 100 antibiotics now on the market.
However, many fear the time is growing near when there will be no alternative antibiotic.
Penicillin was a wonder drug that killed staph when it became available in 1947. Within a decade, some strains grew resistant, a development attributed to overuse
of antibiotics and the failure of some patients to take their medicine properly.
Then came methicillin in the 1960s, then vancomycin, which was so potent it was regarded as the silver bullet against staph.
"There's going to be a lot or throwing up of arms with doctors saying now we have to live with this," said Robert Haley, chief of epidemiology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. "That is not true. We must fight it vigorously. We are also going to have to be much more stingy with our use of vancomycin."
Pharmaceutical companies are working to develop new antibiotics.
An experimental new antibiotic called Synercid, made by Rhone-Poulenc, killed the strain found in the Japanese infant. In lab tests, it was effective on the staph strain in the Michigan man, but tests showed his bacteria were not resistant to other antibiotics.
Synercid has not been approved yet for general use in the United States.
Murder of editor, girlfriend doesn't stop newspaper from being published on time
The Associated Press
CONCORD, N.H. — Editor Dennis Joos died trying to protect the staff at his weekly newspaper from a man who had just killed a woman in the parking lot with a rifle.
With blood on the ground and police searching every inch of the building and grounds, the staff of "The News and Sentinel" in Colebrook then wrote the story and put out the paper — on time, with three bylined stories by the slain editor.
"This town expects us to put out the paper," said publisher John Harrigan.
Harrison was not in the building Tuesday afternoon when Carl Drega shot Harrison's former girlfriend, Vickie Bunnell, and Joos,
the publisher's close friend. Bunnell, a lawyer and part-time judge, had an office in the same building.
Harrigan jumped into his car to drive to the paper after hearing on a scanner that two state troopers had been shot in Colebrook, a town of 2,600 just nine miles from Canada.
Harrigan called the paper from his car and office manager Gil Short told him two more people had been killed in the newspaper's parking lot.
"The minute I heard there was a shooting here, I knew it was Drega," Harrigan said.
Drega, 62, who was killed by police, was well-known as a troublemaker who had threatened Bunnell in the past because of court rul
ings that went against him.
As Drea arrived at the newspaper Tuesday afternoon in a cruiser stolen from one of the troopers, Bunnell spotted him from her window and ran through the newspaper offices shouting a warning. She then ran out the back door, followed by most of "The News and Sentinel" staff.
Drega ran behind the building and shot and killed Bunnell, 44, in the parking lot. Joos tackled him, but Drega wrestled free and shot the editor, then left. Joos, 51, died on the way to the hospital.
The weekly paper was 80 percent complete when Joos was shot.
headlined "Horrible, unbelievable, and other words that fail," and wrote the lead story on the shootings.
Harrigan, who also was friends with the dead troopers, ripped apart the paper, wrote an editorial
"I didn't have to check facts," he said Wednesday.
The weekly, which covers parts of three states and southern Quebec province with about a dozen staff members and several correspondents, hit the stands as usual Wednesday morning.
Joos, who spent as much time as he could writing stories, will live on for a while in the pages of the paper he loved.
He had a file of feature stories waiting for room in the paper and had just finished writing a novel, "The Curse of the House of Windgate."
New magazine to show natural look at beauty
"Perfect 10" displays unaltered breasts instead of implants
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — A new magazine hits newsstands next week featuring topless women who don't have breast implants.
"I've been to strip joints and fallen in love. And then you realize they're not real, and it's heartbreaking," said Norm Zadeh, publisher of "Perfect 10."
So he wants readers to know what real breasts look like, in case they've forgotten.
"They think when a women lays down, her breasts are supposed to stand straight up, like rockets ready for launch," he said.
Publishing industry observers said while "Perfect 10" is the first magazine of its kind, it is entering a market saturated with about 200 erotic female magazines. They said Zadeh is also assuming that consumers base their purchasing decision on whether or not the models have had cosmetic breast surgery.

"If he's going for the puritan at heart, he's wrong. The puritans aren't going to be looking at a naked woman in the first place," said Samir Husni, journalism professor at University of Mississippi in Oxford and author of guides on new magazines. "If it's a fantasy magazine, why do I want to look at something real?"

New York, said Zadeh is a first-time publisher with very little idea of the financial challenges in the publishing industry.
A man who estimates his personal wealth to be in millions, the 47-year-old Zadeh will not accept advertising money for the first two issues. The magazine, to be published internationally six times a year, will sell for $6.95 per issue.
"Look, if I lose $500,000 a year on 'Perfect 10,' I'll be happy. It's not about that," he said. "I'd like to put out something that raises the standards."
A former visiting professor of business and math at Stanford University, Columbia University and UCLA, Zadeh said "Perfect 10" recaptures the classy days of "Playboy" magazine, which has become implanted and raunchy.
"Playboy" founder Hugh Hefner responded with a prepared statement faxed to The Associated Press.
"We would certainly never disqualify a beautiful model because she had made the decision to enhance her figure," part of the statement read.

Athletes, both college and pro need to learn self-control
Violent trends must be stopped
I'm making a challenge to every male athlete at Kansas that should be relatively easy to follow but, for some reason, is far from the case.
Men, please respect women. Spare them from the domestic abuse that
seems to have become a trend among athletes, both professional and collegiate, this decade.
This column was spurred by former Kansas defensive lineman Gilbert Brown, 26, who was arrested Monday for disorderly conduct after a domestic violence offense.

After starting for the Green Bay Packers, earning a Super Bowl ring and signing a lucrative contract last season, there seemed to be no boundaries for this mammoth football alumnus.
Gallagher is a Pittsburgh senior in journalism.
Alas, the 350-pound tackle temporarily crashed back to earth this week.
Brown pushed his 23-year-old girlfriend after arguing with her at their house in Green Bay, Wisc., Brown County officials said. She fell over a couch but was not injured in the incident.
She called the police but did not want to press charges when officers arrived at the house. Regardless, the officers arrested Gilbert when they saw a bruise on the woman's arm, officials said.
What Brown did was far from a horror story considering how former Nebraska running back Lawrence Phillips abused Topeka West graduate Kate McEwen.
66
Athletes must accept responsibility for their inexcitable actions, but they often fail to do so. And the women must break out of the denial that always seems to accompany the crime.
Enough is enough.
Warren Moon battered his wife, who called 911 but did not press charges. She said there was no problem. The same story goes for Atlanta Braves manager Bobby Cox and his wife. And who could forget about the tumultuous marriage between Mike Tyson and Robin Givens?
Former Kansas basketball player B.J. Williams was arrested this summer for abusing his wife. One of his teammates at Kansas, Calvin Rayford, was arrested more than two years ago for domestic assault.
But it's not always the professional athletes who are doing the hitting and slapping. College athletes have shown to be just as villainous as their professional counterparts.
Former Kansas offensive lineeman Scott Whitaker faced similar charges.
Sure, the media will jump all over an athlete who hits a woman more readily than they will focus on the average student you walk past daily. And I know it's a small number of athletes who give the whole group a black eye.
But I don't have the scholarship, room and board, books, tutors and Nike apparel that most athletes receive during their four-year stay in Lawrence. Then again, I've never given anyone a black eye
And I know that for every football player arrested in Oklahoma under former coach Barry Switzer, there's another one who made a 3.0 GPA and contributed to his community under Penn State football coach Joe Paterno.
Johner to start at quarterback
Senior selected for experience
By Tommy Gallagher sports@kanson.com Associate Sports Editor
Senior Matt Johner was supposed to answer questions about who was the Jayhawks' starting quarterback a half hour after a team scrimage at Memorial Stadium last night.
Johner gave no answers and raised more questions because Kansas football coach Terry Allen was late returning from the stadium to talk to his players.
"I know as much as you guys know," Johner said right after the scrimmage. "I haven't seen him (Allen) yet. Has he come back from the stadium? Do you want me to take a shower and wait for him to come back?"
When Allen arrived, he named Johrer the starting quarterback.
"By no means did Matt win this by default," Allen said. "Right now, Matt is the most experienced (quarterback) we have on an inexperienced team. I think that's very critical. This is his senior year, so we'll see what he can do."
Johner and sophomore Zac Wegner had been competing for the starting spot since April at the beginning of spring practice. While Allen now has a starter, the winner could have flip-flopped
during the scrimmage
"Come into the scrimmage, it could have gone the other way," Allen said. "Matt has a better understanding of defenses now, so we'll be in a better position to take advantage of an opponent's weaknesses once we start the season."
While Johner was the starter last season, the quarterbacks were anything but stable under former Kansas coach Glen Mason.
Johrer defeated then-senior Ben Rutz for the position, although Rutz was recovering from major knee surgery and never was 100 percent last season.
Mason would not reveal the starter until the day before the game, leaving his players to question their roles on the team.
Allen said he would not doubt his quarterback based on one poor pass or bad game.
"Having been a former quarterback, I know how fragile that position can be." Allen said. "Matt won't be in jeopardy of being yanked on the first drive, or on the second drive. But he will be held accountable for the success of the offense."
"Coach said that there were no positions fixed entering the two-a-days," Johner said. "To his credit he held true to his word. I never once thought that I'd be the guy. It's a nice attitude to have, but I knew it would be a battle. I'm just glad it was over."
Johner appreciated Allen's honesty about the competition.

Rally to bring team closer to fans
sports@kansan.com
By Kelly Cannon
Kansan sportswriter
The Jayhawks' football season doesn't officially start until Thursday, but they're throwing a party to celebrate it anyway.
The "Lawrence Journal-World" and Kansas football have teamed up for the second-annual "Get Ready Rally" to be held Sunday.
The event started last year as a football version of basketball's "Late Night with Roy Williams" event, said Rick Mullen, director of promotions for intercollegiate athletics.
"This is the second year of the event."
Mullen said. "Last year the 'Journal- World' and KU Athletics teamed up. We held it at the stadium on the Monday night before the first game. But it is going to be bigger and better than last year."
Head coach Terry Allen and the players will be at the rally and accessible to the public. The rally was moved to Sunday this year, and Mullen said he thinks that will help increase attendance.
"I'm looking forward to it," Allen said. "It is a good opportunity to meet people from the community. Personally, I am really looking forward to meeting the people."
Festivities begin at 3 p.m. and continue until 4:30 p.m., when the official pep rally
begins. After the chancellor, coaches and players speak, the games and booths will resume. Games such as a moonwalk and obstacle course will be available.
"We have games for young kids, and games for college kids," Mullen said. "We have something for everybody."
Last year 1,000 free dinners were given out. This year, the first 1,500 people will receive a ticket good for a hot dog, bag of chips, cookie and soft drink, Mullen said. The event officially ends at 6 p.m.
"It's a time for people to meet the players," Mullen said. "It's a new coach and new players and people can see them off the field."
The event is open to the public and is free.

Opponents at Allen Field House now will pay heed to bigger, bolder Jayhawks and accented "Kansas Jayhawks" lettering on the court.
The annual refinishing of the court included repainting the graphics on the floor and replacing damaged floor paint.
D. W. Acker, graphic artist for the athletic department, designed the new graphics and directed the painting portion of the project. The lettering along the sidelines of the court — previously red letters outlined in white — now also is outlined in navy.
"I wanted the letters to show up better," Acker said. "The added blue outline help pull out the red and white in the letters."

"Part of the design process was to make the graphics brighter and more accented," Acker said. "The darker Jayhawks have more authority."
Darren Cook, director of facilities for intercollegiate athletics, said that the project typically took about three weeks. The process includes sanding and buffing the court before repainting the graphics. Two coats of finish complete the refinishing.
"This year it is a little more involved," Cook said of the graphics refinishing.
One of Acker's assistants with the graphics was Rachel Jorgensen, Lodl, Calif. senior.
Jorgensen said she worked with
the stencils for the lettering and
the points on the Jayhawks.
"I liked it," she said of the project. "I learned a lot about layout, patience and working steadily. It's a detailed process."
Updating the graphics involved tracing them on a material similar to masking tape, cutting along
the trace lines, painting and removing the stencil material.

Cook predicted that the floor would be ready for Kansas athletic teams to use Aug. 29.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Aua. 22)
Learn to manage money this year, and you'll never have to worry about it again. Let people know what you want in May. The summer's easy, but autumn could be a challenge. There is more work than you can handle in September. This leads to your true destiny, so get busy. Experience a beneficial transformation in December. A friend's advice is welcome in February. An older person protects your interests in March.
Aries (March 21-April 19) - Today is a 6.
You're very smart. You have to be to survive some of the adventures you get into. You also need to be calm, patient, persevering and even thrill. It may seem a little unfamiliar at first, but you can do it.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) - Today is a 7.
You're stronger now, so relax. Make sure you get it right.
You don't want to do this job again! You'll get a brilliant idea this afternoon. The first thing you try may not work, but that's OK. Keep trying until you get it right.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) - Today is a 4. There is a person in your life who wants the job done a certain way. No point in arguing, although you have a lot of excuses. The smartest thing is to do what needs to be done. Get help making a financial decision.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) - Today is a 7. Although there's still a demanding person you need to deal with, you're not as nervous as you were. You have a good friend, and that makes all the difference Make time for a long conversation this afternoon or early evening.
Loo (July 23-Aug. 22) - Today is a 6.
Curb your enthusiasm this morning; a stodgy older person doesn't want to hear it. He or she is more interested in whether your job is getting done. In other words, there will be a quiz. It's not fair to ask your best friend to help you out, either.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Today is a 7.
The hassle comes this afternoon. Something you're trying to accomplish keeps eluding you. Part of the problem is that you're not interested in the task at hand; you'd rather be roaming the hills and fields, gathering wildflowers. Set priorities and do it all.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Today is a 10.
Focus on money, specifically money held jointly. The other person wants to save it all and has excellent reasons for doing so. But you want to go shopping.
What to do? Balance the checkbook today and go shopping on Sunday.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) - Today is a 5.
You and Taurus make a good couple, although you can find each other pretty frustrating. If you have a Taurean friend, you know what it's like. For those who don't, Taureans are compassionate, loving and tight with a dollar.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Today is an a
If you don't have the perfect person in your life yet,
this could be the day. If you do, congratulations. Your
best time to make contact is in the early afternoon.
This might be complicated considering your work
schedule, but love will find a way.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) - Today is a 6
job you're facing is one you don't particularly
enjoy; just keep chipping away at it. A conversation
with a co-worker will help you understand better.
Consider a barrier a temporary inconvenience. It's
your excuse to learn something useful.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) - Today is a 6.
You may feel like spending most of the day snuggled up in bed. If you can do that, great. Ask for tomorrow off, too. If you're buying real estate, be careful. Find all the surprises before you make the deal, rather than later.
C
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) - Today is a 6.
You'll find it easier than usual to concentrate today.
This is good, especially if you're going shopping.
you'll get compelled to keep track of every penny.
Get a book on managing money; you may learn something that will help you buy what you want.

Hockey's Bob Clark becomes a 'scavenger'

After plucking promising
forward Chris Gratton from the cash-poor Tampa Bay Lightning, the Philadelphia Flyers general manager said he's merely reacting to a trend. Deep-pocketed teams everywhere are making lucrative offers to restricted free agents on teams that don't have the money to match.
"It has been going on on a limited scale over the years," Clarke said. "This will probably start the floodgates, whether it's this year or next year."
The Lightning agreed to let Gratton go in exchange for forward Mikael Renberg, defenseman Karl Dykhuis and what Clarke termed a small amount of cash.
Unlike the Rangers, who failed in their bid for Sakic, the Flyers got
their man.

AKRON, Ohio — Tiger Woods bogeyed the final hole and defending champion Phil Mickelson

from winning the PGA Championship, Greg Norman, Nick Price, Mark O'Meara and John Cook.
Trailed by a record gallery that crowded around the ropes to watch his every move, Woods didn't disappoint in his first professional appearance at soggy Firestone Country Club.
The course was pounded by heavy rains just before the first group teed off and again as the leaders played the back nine. Long hitters had a big advantage off the tee on the 7,149-yard course — which several players said was actually a couple hundred yards longer.
Woods dodged trouble at the signature 16th, the 625-yard hole dubbed "The Monster." He pushed his iron approach far to the right of the green, but flopped a sand wedge to 4 feet and then rolled in his par putt.

Game shows strength, weakness
By Kelly Cannon sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
There are six days and counting until the season opener against Alabama-Birmingham, and the Jayhawk football team is still ironing out some kinks in their game.
; Kansas had its first scrimmage under the new stadium lights last night and the players were awed by the situation, particularly the receivers, said Kansas head coach Terry Allen.
"The receivers were exactly what we wanted," Allen said. "I think some guys were intimidated by the circumstances. The receiver crop showed their lack of experience. But maybe it's good that we got it out of them early."
A lot of attention was spent on special teams. Freshmen Joe Garcia kicked a 51-yard field goal and freshman David Winbush returned a kick-off for a touchdown. Allen is still contemplating putting Winbush in the kick returner position.
"I'm not sure I want to put a true freshman in that position right now," Allen said.
The offense is improving with each practice and fixing any problems, Allen said.
"Our offense has improved quite a bit," he said. "We're aligned better and executing better than four days ago. We had some good special teams work. A lot of times in early season games you see off-sides penalties, or 12 men in or 10 men in, in transition or special teams plays. Hopefully, we have gotten enough of those game-type setting that we will eliminate a lot of those."

said. "Coming out of two a-days and spring practice I never once thought for sure that I had it."
Johner said he understood that the success of the offense rode on his shoulders.
"There are so many young guys on the offense, and we needed experience," Johner said. "So he (Allen) gave it to a senior.
Kansas swimming dives into season
By Brian Custar sports@kansan.com Kansan swimmer
Kansas' swimming coach, Gary Kempf smiles when he talks about the upcoming season.
In his 26th season with the swim teams he said he welcomes the return of veteran swimmers like Tyler Painter. Painter finished second in the 1500-meter freestyle and third in the 800-meter freestyle this summer at Japan's Pan Pacific Games.
Painter led the team in first place finishes last season.
"Tyler is a premiere swimmer," Kemp said.
Kempf plugs Painter's hard
work and dedication, mentioning that the swimmer deserves the credit for his own success. Painter, a member of the U.S. National Team, will compete in an Australian meet next year.
Kempf can also smile about the return of senior Kostaki Chiligiris, whom Kempf said had a strong season.
"He is as well a rounded athlete we have ever had here," said Kempf.
Chiligris' versatility is evident in his ability to swim powerfully in the freestyle, backstroke and the individual medley, which combines all four strokes: butterfly, back, breast, and freestyle.
Also mentioned by the coach
were senior Brad Artis and sophomore Brandon Chestnut, who return to lead the Jayhawks in the 200-meter and 100-meter breaststroke. Chestnut cut through the water last year, posting a 100-meter time of 54.83, while Artis recorded last year's 200-meter team best with a time of 2:04.06.
What kind of new talent can the Jayhawks look to? In reference to the freshman team members, the coach said, "In our program, you have to prove yourself before you're bragged about. If you want to know who the next leaders of this team are, you'll have to come see me in March after the championships."

Big 12 football ready for the season
Longhorns expect to be contender for championship
The Associated Press
DALLAS — Texas has a new tailback, a new defense and the confidence that only a Big 12 championship can bring.
The Longhorns think the mix can help them rejoin the top teams in the country, put them back into the Big 12 title game and carry them to an elusive bowl victory.
Ricky Williams, last year's star fullback, is the new tailback. He makes the same move Earl Campbell did in 1977, the year he won the Heisman Trophy.
Williams would like the Heisman, but he'd rather see Texas win a national title.
"Sure, winning the Heisman Trophy would be great," said Williams, who ran for 1,272 yards last year. "But helping a team play for a national championship would be incredible."
BIG 12 CONFERENCE
Nebraska 37-27 to win the Big 12 title, enter the season ranked No. 12.
National titles have been a long way off for Texas. The last time the Longhorns were among the most prominent teams was in 1983, when Fred Akers led them to an 11-0 record before a 10-9 loss to Georgia in the Cotton Bowl crushed their title hopes.
In the 13 years since, Texas has had only two seasons with more than eight wins
"Both Rutgers and UCLA throw the ball a bunch," said new defensive coordinator Bobby Jack Wright. "We might have been strong favorites in those games with the secondary we had last year, but this year we are virtually untested back there."
The Longhorns, who stunned
and 65th in
Gone are NFL draft picks Bryant Westbrook and Taje Allen at the corners, and Chris Carter and Tre Thomas at the safeties. Fighting for cornerback positions are senior Quinton Wallace and junior Tony Holmes, along with three freshmen.
Texas coach John Mackovic thinks his defense should improve off its poor showing last season — 86th (of 11 teams) against the run
and 65th
to t o t a l
defense.
Overall,
the Big 12
was a bust
in its first
season
although
two teams cashed in by playing ... alliance bowl games — Nebraska in the Orange and Texas in the Fiesta.
Colorado could be the team to beat in the Northern Division.
"We've got a good team, and I'm excited about it," said Buffalooes' coach Rick Neuheisel. "Everybody would like to be at a university where you expect to win and you hope you can be in the hunt for a national championship. I'm not going to shy away from that."
Now, if Neuheisl could only beat Nebraska.
Neuheisel said. "They have a string of 29 years of nine wins or more per year. That rivals Joe DiMaggio's hitting record. We keep getting closer every year."
"We aren't the only team that has problems with the Huskers."
John Hessler will be the Buffs' new quarterback, replacing Koy Detmer.
Nebraska will try to overcome the disappointment of losing to the Longhorns.
"I think we might have lost a little mystique to some of the other teams around the nation," guard Aaron Taylor said of the Huskers, shut out by Arizona State 19-0 early last season then undefeated before falling to the Longhorns.
Kansas will have a new leader in coach Terry Allen, who said that the Jayhawks had more questions than answers because they were only returning five starters on offense.
Defensive back Tony Blevins said he liked the change from Glen Mason to Allen.
"Coach Allen is a more positive, player-type coach," Blevins said. "Coach Mason coached out of fear."
Kansas State will have Jonathan Beasley, Michael Bishop and Adam Helm fighting for the quarterback job, while Missouri and Iowa State will try to improve their programs.
Troy Davis is gone at Iowa State, but his brother, Daren, wants to fill the void. Missouri coach Larry Smith thinks quarterback Corby Jones can spring some surprises for the Tigers.
In the Southern Division, the Longhorns are heavy favorites to return to the title game, set for Dec. 6 in San Antonio, Texas.
Texas A&M was a big disappointment last season. The Aggies lost to Brigham Young in the Pigskin Classic and never returned to form,
"Everybody would like to be at a university where you expect to win and you hope you can be in the hunt for a national championship."
Colorado football coach
Rick Neuheisel
finishing 6-6 as quarterback Brandon Stewart failed to live up to his promise.
Coach R.C. Scolum shook up his staff and got a quarterback coach for Stewart.
"I had to send out a signal that the season wasn't acceptable to our fans." Slocum said.
Oklahoma, which opens the season tomorrow against Northwestern in the Pigskin Classic, hopes to become a winner again.
"I expect to compete for the division title," said coach John Blake, whose first year ended at 3-8. "We have a year behind us and we have more talent and we have a chance to win it."
Texas Tech lost Byron Hanspard to the NFL, and coach Spike Dykes is trying to find another running back because top prospect Clint Robertson tore his knee on the last scrimmage of the spring.
Still, Dykes said with a quarterback like Zebbie Lethridge they have a chance to post good numbers.
Dykes said the Texas win against Nebraska was inspirational.
"I think it woke a lot of us up," he said. "It's sort of like when Superman's cape doesn't open up all the way, owl' Batman has a chance."
Realignments impact old football rivalries
The Associated Press
STANFORD, Calif. — When Stanford and California meet in the 100th Big Game this season, the schools will be renewing one of college football's most storied traditional rivalries.
Whether it's UCLA-USC or Army-Navy, rivaries are at the heart of college football, providing a stage for the players, a forum for bragging rights and a sense of history for alumni and fans.
"They're absolutely critical," said Stanford athletic director Ted Leland. "In pro football, it's the Super Bowl everybody points to. In college football, almost all of us have at least one, maybe two, particularly emotional rivalries that give the college football experience special meaning."
Many traditional pairings remain a fixture and the rivalries are thriving. Others, though, have fallen by the way-side in recent years as conferences realigned or expanded.
Texas and Arkansas, whose long-standing rivalry included a famed 1969 meeting that drew President Richard Nixon, haven't played each other for five years.
Their rivalry died when Arkansas, seeking better TV exposure and increased revenues, left the old Southwest Conference for the Southeastern Conference in 1992.
"Overall, the SEC has been
just wonderful for Arkansas and its fans," said Arkansas athletic director Frank Broyles, who coached the '69 Razorbacks. "But when you have played someone for 70 years, like we did Texas, it's not replaced overnight. You know, when you move away from your neighborhood, it takes a while to make new friends."
Just ask Miami.
Despite the breaks with tradition, many say realignment can energize college football and spark new competition.
"The most significant effect conference realignment has had on college football is it has developed new rivalries," said Texas coach John Mackovic, whose Longhorns upset Nebraska in last season's Big 12 title game.
"In the Big 10, Penn State has developed league rivalries with the Michiganans and Ohio States, and in our case, we have become rivals to Nebraska and Colorado," Mackovic said. "Across the board in the new leagues, everyone is finding new rivals. I don't think realignment has hurt anything. It has only expanded the rivalries around the country."
Stanford's Leland, however, is wary of changes that take away from tradition dear to schools.
"When we in college athletics fool around with traditional events and rivalries, we do so at our own peril."

U.S. Open first tournament for Arthur Ashe Stadium
New court adds thrills to tennis
The Associated Press
mal dedication that night.
NEW YORK — The true inauguration of Arthur Ashe Stadium won't come when the first ball is struck Monday morning at the U.S. Open or when past champions pay homage to Ashe in the for-
Rather, it will be that moment in the tournament, perhaps on some sultry afternoon or balmy evening, when the roars of the largest crowd in tennis vibrate through the
Arthur Ashe: U.S Open will be inaugural tournament in stadium.
A. S. B.
new steel and brick arena and shake two players standing on the sage green court.
One of those players may be Pete Sampras, the four-time champion who has a knack for dramatics at this tournament that belies his laid-back, off-court demeanor. Or perhaps one of them will be Martina Hingis, the 16-year-old with the sweet smile and killer strokes who, like Sampras, is going for her third Grand Slam title of the year.
Or, just as likely, the roars will be for some low-ranked underdog socking it to a high seed with brillant and unexpected shots.
At that moment — and it happens every year at some point in
The U.S. Open is the raucous, sometimes obnoxious cousin of Wimbledon and the French and Australian opens. Jets rattle the seats, fans walk around whenever they want, no matter the score, and sandwiches cost more than an ounce or two of silver.
the U.S. Open — the 22,547-seat Arthur Ashe Stadium, with its rim rising against the Manhattan skyline across the river, will become as loud and wild and crazy as New York gets. Just as it was intended.
What the U.S. Open has lacked in classiness since it moved from Forest Hills two decades ago, it has made up for in noise and chaos and a uniquely New York energy. Now, with the opening of Arthur Ashe Stadium as the centerpiece of a $254 million, privately funded renovation, the USTA is hoping to achieve some of the aesthetic appeal that has been missing for so long.
The new place is bigger yet more intimate because of the slope of the seats, and the acoustics of all that steel will make the roars all the more deafening.
"Ikind of miss the old stadium — that's where I made my mark in '90 — but the new stadium is going to be a pleasure to play in," Sampson said after testing the court.
Sampras said he liked the spacious new inlaid wooden lockers, the large players lounge, the easy access to the court. Fans will appreciate the wider walkways between outside courts, the comfortable seats, the extra toilets, the new landscaping, and the lovely lane that links the tennis center with the majestic Unisphere and fountains of the 1964 World's Fair.
"I kind of miss the old stadium-that's where I made my mark in '90 but the new stadium is going to be a pleasure to play in."
The architectural design of the
Pete Sampras four-time U.S.. Open champion
new stadium — a jumble of retro '20s and postmodern '90s — will be an acquired taste for some. Depending on one's point of view, it's either spectacular or spectacularly ugly. But compared to the creaky relic it is replacing, it's a major improvement.
Of course, the fans will be paying more for all this change. Prices for high-end tickets are up about 20 percent, with the top single-session seat now $613. Most other ticket prices are up 5-7 percent. Still, the USTA expects attendance to increase at 10 percent above last year's $506.012.
Whether any of the changes will have an effect on the quality of the tennis remains to be seen. There will be no Boris Becker, no Steffi Graf and, based on recent history, probably not much of Andre Assigli.
Becker had planned on making this his last major tournament but pulled out because of the death of his longtime friend and manager. Graf, who won last year, is still recovering from knee surgery. Agassi hasn't played a major tournament since the U.S. Open last year, when he lost to Michael Chang in straight sets in the semifinals.
Expos' pitcher earns first win in majors
Cardinals' winning streak snapped, 3-2
The Associated Press
MONTREAL — Mike Johnson helped himself to his first major league win with the assistance of Montreal's bullpen.
Johnson combined with two Montreal relievers on a two-hitter yesterday, leading the Expos to a 3-2 win against the St. Louis Cardinals.
"It's gratifying to get the win," said Johnson, who combined with relievers Anthony Telford and Ugueth Urbina to hold down the Cardinals.

"It's a big relief to get the first win out of the way." said Johnson.
who was 0-1 in five starts with Baltimore. "The first one is probably the hardest to get. It's out of the way now. Hopefully it will carry on through the rest of the year and I can finish strong."
"He's got poise. He's going to be a pitcher," Alou said. "He had a good changeup and located his fastball well. Telford did another great job and Urbina got the save. It's an easy combination."
Expos manager Felipe Alou said he was impressed with Johnson.
Telford struck out five of six batters and Urbina pitched the ninth inning for his 20th save.
The Cardinals, battling to stay in the NL Central race, had their three-game winning streak snapped and missed a chance at their first three-game sweep in Montreal since 1969.
Famed pitcher takes coaching position for triple A team
The Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va. — A 56-game hitting streak. Sixty-one home runs. A 400 batting average. One hundred-ninety RBIs. Thirty-one victories.
In baseball, they are revered numbers — standards chased almost annually, challenged occasionally, but rarely, if ever, threatened.
In 1962, as he was wrapping up a 4-12 season with the Kansas City A's, the right-hander went 84 1/3 innings without walking a batter. That's the equivalent of nine straight complete games, plus 3 1/3 innings.
Bill Fischer holds a record like that.
Fischer, now the pitching coach for the Richmond Braves of the Triple A International League, said he didn't even know about his streak until one day in Chicago, when he was removed from a game and saw a note crawling across the scoreboard that he'd gone 50 or so innings without a walk.
A's owner Charlie Finley promised Fischer a $1,000 bonus for breaking the mark of 68 straight innings, set 49 years earlier by Hall of Famer Christy Mathewson.
Finley also promised Fischer another $100 for each inning he extended the record.
The record didn't come easily.
"In about the fifth inning, Robin Roberts came up to bat. He was a left-handed hitter. I went three balls and one strike on him and I'm thinking, 'You son of a gun, you're going to walk the pitcher.'
"Well, I threw a pitch, he took it and the impire called it a strike. On the next pitch, he swung and missed. Once he did, I knew I had it."
An inning-ending comeback by Brooks Robinson the next inning gave Fischer the record, and the bonus. And when the streak ended on the final day of the season with a four-pitch walk to Detroit outfielder Bubba Morton, a career .267 hitter, Finley wrote Fischer a check for $2,600.
"I was happy I finally walked a guy to it get over with." he said.
The remarkable streak allowed Fischer to finish the season with only eight walks in 127-2-3 innings, or one for every 16 innings pitched.
Now 66, Fischer has spent the last 25 seasons teaching pitchers to master the craft better than he did. He was the Red Sox pitching coach when Roger Clemens won each of his three Cy Young awards and one Most Valuable Player award, and still consults regularly with the pitcher he calls "Smokey."
"He kept it simple," said Clemens, 19-4 with a 1.78 earned run average. "Fisch knew he could tell me something in the middle of a game or on off-days and it would stay with me. He really knows me."

Offensive firepower to carry quieter Cowboys through NFC East
Returning All-Pro players focus on helping team regain footing after off-season trouble
The Associated Press
The Dallas Cowboys Country Club went out of business this year, replaced by a virtual boot camp.
A talented but troubled team, the Cowboys tried put all their emphasis on football and eliminate the distractions that helped kill their season a year ago.
Owner Jerry Jones would like to have turned training camp into a monastery. He had to settle for something in between and —
coach Barry Switzer's gun misadventure notwithstanding — the players behaved until the final day of camp, when they trashed the dormitories at St. Edward's College to celebrate.
On the field, they seem improved from last season, when they finished 10-6 and lost to Carolina in their second playoff game.

"We've had to take a hard look at our team in the offseason, and we've made

steps to correct our off-field problems. I think we are starting this season in a very positive atmosphere."
Dallas still beats its NFC East
Darren Woodson, Deion Sanders, Erik Williams and Larry Allen all made the All-Pro team. Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin, who all had poor seasons by their standards, still are star quality, capable of dominating any game and any opponent.

Tight end Jay Novacek and defensive end Charles Haley both retired, but they hardly played in 1996.

two rookies, tight end David LaFleur and linebacker Dexter Coakey.
While the Dallas offense has the stars, the defense was the reason the Cowboys won the division again. The defense ranked third in the NFL behind Green Bay and Pittsburgh. Leon Lett will miss most of the season on drug suspension, the linebacking is a problem and injuries could hurt the secondary.
While the defense might cause some minor problems in the Cowboys' 1998 run at the Super Bowl,

Clash of the titans: Elway, Marino after Super Bowl ring
The Associated Press
In 1984, his second season in the NFL, Dan Marino set single-season records for yardage, completions and touchdown passes — an astounding 48 — leading the Miami Dolphins to the Super Bowl. When they lost 38-16 to San Francisco, the general reaction was: "Don't worry, he'll be back a lot. He'll get his ring."
John Elway took the Denver Broncos to the Super Bowl in 1986, 1987 and 1989, losing to the Giants, Redskins and 49ers by an average of 32 points. He thought he'd be back, too.
Marino's never gone back, Elway hasn't been there in eight seasons, and as 1997 begins, Elway and Marino have very narrow windows of opportunity to finally get a Super Bowl ring.
D
CL
So this year is Windows 97, next year might be Windows 98, and that could be it. They're even rooting for each other.
"John's a friend," Marino said. "I've known him for a long time. Not only have we played against each other, but our careers have kind of paralleled. Hopefully, it's me and not John, but if I couldn't win it, I would love for him to have chance to win the Super Bowl."
Said Elwav: .
In many ways, athletes are like everyone else. As they get older, they get more brittle.
From Sept. 2, 1984, through Oct. 17, 1993, Marino started 155 consecutive games, a remarkable record of durability at a position where players seemingly wear bulls-eyes on their chests. Then he tore an Achilles' tendon and missed the final 11 games of 1993.
DOLPHIN
In 1995, he missed two games with a bruised sternum and last season missed three games after breaking his ankle.
Elway also was durable, missing one game in 1988 with a sprained ankle and another in 1989 with the flu.
But in 1992, he bruised his right shoulder, missing four games. He also was hurt in 1994 and last year, and has twice had shoulder surgery. During this preseason, he tore a bicep warming up for an exhibition game in Mexico City against Marino and the Dolphins. Last season could have been Elway's year.
For the first 13 games, the Broncos were at worst the NFL's second-best team and perhaps the
best. They were 12-1 and with four weeks left in the regular season and had clinched not only the AFC West, but home field in the playoffs, traditionally the easiest route to the Super Bowl. And in Terrell Davis, who led the AFC in rushing, Elway finally had the running back he'd lacked.
But early success also was the Broncos' downfall. From Dec. 1 to Jan. 4, it was like preseason: boring practices with meaningless games in between.
In hindsight, the most important week — psychologically, at least — was the one after the Broncos clinched, when they went to Green Bay for what was supposed to be a Super Bowl preview. Elway, who had a hamstring pull, sat out and the Packers won 41-6.
The Broncos never played their type of football again, except, perhaps, in the first quarter of their next meaningful game on Jan. 4, 34 days after they clinched. They jumped to a 12-0 lead against Jacksonville at Mile High Stadium, where they were 8-
0 during the season.
Marino seems to have a slimmer chance of getting the ring this season.
For much of his career, Marino's problem has been the same as Elway's: no premier runner and shaky defenses.
Since that Super Bowl season in 1984, the Dolphins are 4-5 in playoff games and Marino has gotten as far as the AFC title game just twice — in 1985, when Miami was upset 31-14 by New England, and in 1992, when the Dolphins lost 29-10 to Buffalo.
Of the six quarterbacks taken in the first round of the 1983 draft, four have reached the Super Bowl, but they're a combined 0-9. Jim Kelly, who retired last season, was there four times with Buffalo.
The bottom line? Maybe it's the 1983 jinx.
Elway has gone three times, Marino once and Tony Eason went with the Patriots in 1985.
Kelly and the Bills are one reason Marino and Elway haven't gone back. The Bills beat the Broncos in one AFC title game and the Dolphins in another in their run of four straight conference titles in the early '90s.
While NFC teams have won Super Bowls with Joe Montana, Troy Aikman and Steve Young, all marquee quarterbacks, such less talented QBs as Jim McMahon, Doug Williams, Jeff Hostetler and Mark Rypien won titles for teams with solid defenses and running games.
Chiefs, Rams will test mettle in NFL exhibition game tonight
The Associated Press
ST. LOUISE — It's time to see how much Orlando Pace's training camp holdout really cost him.
The No.1 pick of the draft will make his debut at left offensive tackle in tonight's exhibition finale between the St. Louis Rams and Kansas City Chiefs. Pace practiced for the first time on Sunday, but has made an immediate impression.
"Our defensive ends pass rush on him and he reaches out and jams them with those long arms. It straightens them right up," said coach Dick Vermeil. "Holy mackerel, he's impressive."
"It's pretty exciting," he said. "I'm picking up the offense quick and hopefully everything is working out pretty well."
Pace said he felt ready.
He also said he'd probably feel nervous before his pro debut.
"But once I get in there, it's just like any other place," Pace said. "You just play football."
Vermeil said there's no doubt the Rams made the right choice trading up in the draft to get Pace. Still, he'll take it slow at first, with Pace probably playing in the second half against the Chiefs' reserves.
"Let's not put him on a pedestal yet," Vermilg said. "He
CHIEFS
needs a lot of work, but he's the right guy."
“This game doesn't count, you know what I mean?” said Rams cornerback Todd Lyght. “I’d rather lose this game and then win the next three.”
Heading into the final exhibition, both teams are 1-2 in the preseason. The Chiefs are coming off their first victory, 30-10 over Carolina, and the Rams lost 34-31 to Dallas in their last game
Both coaches said they would not hold back on their playbooks for the exhibition.
"We have certain things we're going to do," Chiefs coach Marty Schottenheimer said. "The fact we play the Rams later I don't think will be a factor in the things we're going to do."
The Chiefs have been struggling with a revamped defense, losing 28-14 to Pittsburgh in the preseason opener and 26-7 at New Orleans in week two.

Sororities drop boys,booze
Sisterhood replaces drinking men during final weekend
By Sarah McWilliams
Kansan staff writer
（USPS650-640）
Rush week for University of Kansas sororities ended with parties, but neither alcohol nor men were invited, according to a policy enforced by sorority leaders at the University.
The policy, set by the National Panhellenic Council and enforced by the Panhellenic Association at
the university, states that no sorority members or rush participants are allowed to consume alcohol or to associate with men within 24 hours after bid day, said Bridget Mason, Fairway senior and vice president of public relations for the association. Bid day officially ended at 3 p.m. Saturday.
Bid day is the final day of rush week, when sorority hopefuls learn which chapter they have been
invited to join, she said. This year, more than 800 potential members participated in rush.
No individual sorority members or chapters were disciplined for violating the policy this year. Mason said.
Mason said that although the University had not strictly enforced the no-men, no-alcohol policy in past years, no prior incidents led to extra enforcement this year.
"It was important on bid day for new members to focus on what being in a sorority is all about," Mason said. A sorority is about sisterhood, she said.
to build sisterhood, individual chapters picked up new members
after they had received their invitations and had provided non-alcoholic alternatives for the evening, Mason said. This was done at the request of the Panhellenic Association.
Chapters and new members cooperated well with the policy, said Jamie Partridge, Manhattan senior and risk management educator for Pi Beta Phi. She said the chapters planned alternatives like barbecues, pizza parties, ice cream runs and movies.
"It was to show that the reason why you're in a house is not to drink. It's to be part of a sorority," Partridge said.

Delta Force urges students to get involved at University
President takes ideas from first meeting
By Tim Harrington Kansan staff writer
The Delta Force coalition held its first official meeting yesterday afternoon to discuss possible platform issues and to allow newcomers to introduce themselves.
Delta Force member Holly Kreuz
Oskaloa sophomore, began the meeting in the Pine Room of the Kansas Union with a brief summary of the intent behind the formation of Delta Force.
Delta Force formed last semester as a coalition of Student Senate candidates. Upset with what they believed to be a lack of activism in Senate, Delta Force candidates stressed student action and involvement in University of Kansas and community affairs.
"Delta Force is not just about getting people on the Student Senate," Krebs said. "We'd like to integrate activism and politics."
After an abbreviated history of the coalition's founders, Delta Force president Jason Fitzell took prospective issue ideas from members and newcomers.
Bike lanes, linear tuition, the "corporate invasion" of downtown, escort programs, class availability and minority recruitment were just a few of the issues mentioned.
Matt Bachand, liberal arts senator and Yorktown, Va., senior, said working with other senators would be the key to getting these things accomplished.
"First and foremost, I think Senate should be a cooperative effort. A divided senate just can't do what a united senate can." Bachand said. "I look forward to working with everyone."
With recycling and transportation reform at the top of the list, members expressed concerns about many issues.
The group's next meeting is at 8 p.m. Friday. Delta Force will gather at the Action Alliance's homebrew festival at Shirk's Barn, located north of Lawrence. Festival patrons must be at least 18 years old to attend.
Fizell said the festival was a chance for people interested in Delta Force to get together on a social level and talk about the organization.
Rollin' the bones

University has no closet for its new skeletons
Museum lacks room for fossil display
The scientists found the bones of Camarasaurus, a 60-foot-long, 14-foot-tall, long-necked dinosaur, during the summer in the Black Hills of Wyoming. Museum officials are trying to provide a permanent home at the University for the Camarasaurus and other fossils found at the site.
By Mike Perryman
Student spectators and camera crews crowded the sidewalk in front of the Natural History Museum Friday as paleontologists from the University of Kansas unveiled new dinosaur bones.
The find included one complete adult Camarasaurus skeleton, a complete baby skeleton, pieces of another adult, a meat-eating dinosaur, about eight turtles and some prehistoric plants. The fossils date back to the late Jurassic period.
Larry Martin, curator of paleontology at the museum, led the team of 10 graduate students who dig up the bones. He said the fossils were in great shape.
Kansan staff writer
Martin said finding the fossils
Sundell said the Camarasaurus was one of the five most complete sauropods ever found and deserved a proper exhibit.
"We were very lucky," he said.
"It took us only about a month and a half to unearth the fossils, and it usually would take about a year to a year and a half."
Craig Sundell, Lawrence graduate student, spotted the first bones at the site. He said the dig could not have gone more smoothly.
Although the museum has room to store the bones in the basement, there will not be enough space for the dinosaurs when they are fully constructed.
"We will be able to tell a lot about what that particular area was like 150 million years ago," Martin said.
was like re-creating a lost world.
Building a new addition to the museum could be the answer.
Leonard Kristalka, director of the Natural History Museum, said creating space for the dinosaurs would be a challenge. There is no space for the adult, but there may be space for the baby, he said.
"For now it is important to prepare the bones," Krisktalka said. "It will take some time to

establish a permanent home, and we are currently planning on building an exhibit so that the people who visit the museum can see the process of fossil preservation."
A group of graduate students of vertebrate paleontology, headed by Martin, will perform the preservation process.
T. J. Meehan, a Lawrence graduate student who helped locate the dig site, said that raising money for the preparation of the bones would be the first step and that everything else would take some time and consideration.
"We should definitely make room at the museum for the new fossils," he said. "KU has a huge history of dinosaur hunters and fossil collectors. It would be appropriate to create space for a good dinosaur exhibit at the museum, considering how much interest there is in dinosaurs."
Police confiscate bongs ... er, pipes in KC area shops
Lawrence stores don't fear raids
By Rachelle Detweiler
Kansan staff writer
Jackson County, Mo., authorities raided 14 businesses Friday in Kansas City and Blue Springs, cracking down on the sale of what they said was ready-made drug paraphernalia.
However, merchants said they didn't foresee a decrease in tobacco and water-pipe sales in Lawrence or an increase in problems from law enforcement authorities.
Sam Osterhout, Hutchinson junior, is a cashier at The Phil Zone, 1405 Massachusetts St. He said the store had no past problems with the police and showed no signs of an impending raid.
By taking proper precautions and following state laws, the store avoids problems, he said.
According to Kansas statutes, two factors in determining what is drug paraphernalia are the manner in which the store displays an object and any statements made by a salesperson concerning the object's use.
Another factor in determining the difference between a tobacco water pipe and a bong used for illegal drugs is the oral or written instructions concerning the object's use. The sale of a water pipe is legal, while the sale of drug paraphernalia is a misdemeanor when sold to a person older than 18. The sale is a felony if the buyer is
a felony if the buyer is under18.
All employees of The Phil Zone are instructed about the proper terminology for the sale of tobacco products, Osterhout said. Problems only occur when shoppers do things such as refer to water pipes as bongs, he said.
"Some people aren't as smart as other people and can't take a hint," Oster-hout said. "If we correct them, and they say it incorrect again, then they're gone."
Workers at Lawrence's 7th Heaven, 1000 Massachusetts St., could not comment on the raids. However, Justin Bernal, a worker at recently raided 7th Heaven in Kansas City, said he did not expect disturbances at the Lawrence location because Kansas is
Pipes for sale
Some of the things authorities consider in determining whether an object is drug paraphernalia, according to Kansas Statute #65-4151:
Statements by an owner or person in control of the object concerning its use.
a h
- Oral or written instructions provided with the object concerning its use.
- Descriptive materials accompanying the object which explain or depict its use.
The mathew in which the object is displayed for sale.
Whether the owner or person in control of the object is a legitimate supplier of similar or related items to the community, such as a distributor or dealer of tobacco products.
The existence and scope of legitimate uses for the object in the community.
Direct or circumstantial evidence of the ratio of sales of the object or objects to the total sales of business enterprises.
under a different jurisdiction.
For the entire statute and more information, go to www.ink.org
under a different jurisdiction.
However, he did warn other businesses that undercover agents had come to his store before the raids and bought a tobacco pipe with marked bills. When the sale occurred, the officer inferred that the object
would be used for drug consumption. Bernel said.
The police later confiscated most of the store's water pipes and searched, photographed and interviewed all employees before leaving without making an arrest.
Raids have happened before at the store, and the business will not be permanently damaged by the crackdown, he said.
"People running legitimate businesses won't be affected," Bernal said. "We'll get our merchandise back and lose a little money. These types of businesses won't go away. They've been in business since the '60s."
On Saturday, the store's busiest day, sales in the tobacco department only amounted to $1,700, compared to the $5,000 average when their water pipes are fully stocked, Bernal said.

Cashing in on Kemper: Profs get fellowships
Kansan staff report
Five additional KU faculty members on the Lawrence campus received W.T. Kemper Fellowships for Teaching Excellence during surprise classroom visits Friday.
Provost David Shulenburger, Peter Thompson, dean of the School of Fine Arts, and other KU officials interrupted James Hidgon Jr.'s organ studio class in Bales Organ Recital Hall.
"Would you like to sign up for organ lessons?" asked Higdon, professor of organ, before he accepted his award.
Other Friday recipients of the fellowship, which includes a $5,000 award, were: Jeff Aubé, professor of medicinal chemistry, Robert Goldstein, professor of geology, Donn Parson, professor of communication studies, and Annette Stanton, associate professor of psychology.
A seven-member selection committee, made up of KU faculty, students, and a KU alumnus chose the Kemper fellows from nominations submitted by colleagues and students.
Fourteen professors have now received the awards funded by a $250,000 gift from the William T. Kemper foundation. The KU Endowment Association matched the amount of the gift.
Six additional professors in Lawrence and at the KU Medical Center will receive awards next week.

Placing ban on alcohol becoming popular at KSU
MANHATTAN—Two fraternities at Kansas State University are planning to ban alcohol in their houses, echoing a national trend.
"We know that students ... still too often are making poor decisions," said Jon a t h a n Brant, executive vice president of the National Interfraternity Conference. "Maybe we just need to eliminate alcohol. Why should the fraternity houses provide (alcohol) when the majority of their members are under age?"
C
Nationally, 34 of the 63 fraternities represented by Brant's group have showed interest in adopting alcohol-free housing. At Kansas State, Sigma Nu and Phi Delta Theta said they would get rid of booze inside their houses by July 2000.
Another Kansas State chapter, Sigma Phi Epsilon, already has banned alcohol-related parties, though it does allow limited drinking in individuals' rooms.
"Work hard, play hard" is Sigma Phi's motto, said chapter vice president Brandon Clark, 21. "And playing hard doesn't
necessarily mean getting smashed."
Some reasons for the changes: Fraternities fear being held liable for drinking-related incidents on their property, they're figuring out it's better to drink less or in a controlled atmosphere and they want to bury the "Animal House" image.
Parents of fraternity recruits are asking about the chapters' stances on alcohol and applauding plans to restrict drinking.
"Parents eat that up. They love it," said Joe Kordalski, an officer at the Phi Delta Theta house at Kansas State.
Still, the vast majority of chapters nationwide have yet to commit to keeping houses alcohol-free. Brant said that less than 10 percent of local chapters nationally have come up with formal rules.
National Teamsters in turmoil; Hoffa wants Carey out
WASHINGTON — Teamsters President Ron Carey should be "removed and disqualified" from a rerun of the race for the union's top job while investigators probe his campaign fund-raising practices and links between union money and
the 1996 election, challenger James P. Hoffa said yesterday.
A. B. K.
While never pointing a finger directly at Carey, court-appointed election overseer Barbara Zack Quindel last week refused to certify last December's Teamsters balloting that showed Carey winning re-election. She called for a new contest, but Hoffa claims the fund-raising concerns should bar Carey from running
Carey: Fund-raising may cost him union presidency.
Carey has no intention of stepping down, said Teamsters representative Matt Witt.
Hoffa said that appointing an interim leader would prevent Carey from using the president's post to his advantage.
"We have affidavits where people said,
"I was paid by the (union) to go out and campaign (for Carey)," "Hoffa said.
"That's illegal. If he's there, they're going to do that again."
Witt told The Associated Press in a telephone interview that Teamsters' staff members were given strict instructions about election rules. "If anybody was campaigning on union time, they were doing so in direct conflict with instructions they had been given by the union."
Hoffa has suggested that a federal court appoint a trustee to run the union while a new presidential campaign is held. Witt said that would take at least five months.
"The union has very important business to conduct over the next six months," Witt said, citing the Teamsters' upcoming battle against efforts to expand the North American Free Trade Agreement, negotiations with freight haulers and enforcement of the union's new contract with United Parcel Service.
"Ron Carey has no intention of leaving it to the government to run the union and carry out those responsibilities." Witt said.
Senate and FBI investigators have been scrutinizing the union's relationship with the Democratic National Committee since a memo signed by Richard Sullivan, the party's former finance chairman, surfaced last month.
In the memo, Sullivan asks Washington political consultant Martin Davis to funnel about $1 million in Teamsters donations to several state and local Democratic Party affiliates.
"There's been some allegations with respect to the DNC, although those allegations and those acts have never been carried out," Carey said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "I was not aware of this, as and the elections officer (Quindel) clearly put out, I was not involved."
Mentally disabled man gambles benefits away
JANESVILLE, Wis. — Joe Murphy fought red tape for two years to get more than $40,000 in federal disability benefits owed to him for being mildly mentally retarded. He needed only a few weeks to blow it all gambling.
"I was going to the moon," he said. "Gambling, gambling, gambling — all the way from video poker to the blackjack table."
The Social Security Administration hadn't intended to give the money directly to Murphy, a manic-depressive with an IQ of about 70 who admits to a gambling problem.
It was supposed to go to a "representative payee," which is a relative, friend or other person who helps manage the funds.
After Murphy's experience, the Chicago office, which oversees Janesville, reviewed its interviewing procedures, focusing on how to determine whether someone with mental disabilities is capable of handling his or her own benefits.
"It's very unusual for Social Security to pay benefits to someone when it's clear they have a problem with money," Trollner said.
"At the time the local office in Janesville talked to him, there was no record from a medical source of his being incapable. He presented a convincing argument that he was quite capable of managing his own affairs," Trollinger said.
The therapist's report wasn't enough to certify Murphy incapable, he said. And Murphy had been receiving monthly disability checks on his own behalf and for two of his three children, adding to the evidence that he could handle the money.
Murphy blames the government for giving him the money he demanded when they knew he couldn't handle it.
Scamming couple caught following alleged racism
JONESBORO, Ga. — Sandra Benson
stood crying in the backyard of her burned-out house, surrounded by words of hate — racial slurs spray-painted on a white fence and storage shed.
She told reporters and investigators that she was being punished for loving an African-American man in this predominantly white suburb about 15 miles south of Atlanta.
Authorities say the fire was motivated not by hate but by the interracial couple's greed — an insurance fraud scheme that stretched from New York to Georgia, netting the two nearly $1 million and leaving two-burned out homes in their wake.
Benson, 36, and her boyfriend, Freeman Berry, 45, were indicted on Aug. 7 by a federal grand jury on 23 counts of insurance fraud and mail fraud for settling false claims for the house fires, two car accidents, three household accidents that caused disabling injuries and three break-ins. They're free on bond.
The couple's attorney, Michael DuPonte, said they were innocent. Berry and Benson did not return telephone messages seeking comment.
The FBI said the scam could have continued had the couple not cried hate crime. There had been two fires at black churches in the Jonesboro area, so local and federal officials took the case seriously.
"That was the beginning of the end," U.S. Assistant Attorney Katherine B. Monahan said.
International World Youth Day draws one million to greet pope
PARIS Pope John Paul II offered tough challenges and affectionate encouragement
than 1 million faithful attending Mass — one of the biggest crowds he has seen in years
PAPAL SERVICE
At the closing World Youth Day ceremonies, the Pope, standing under a white umbrella to shield him from the sun, counseled his young followers to be strong in seeking meaning in life.
Pope: Preached encouragement at Mass.
"The world is wonderful and rich. It
before us countless treasures," John Paul II said in his final homily before returning home to Rome. "But in the end, it does not satisfy our spirit."
Police estimates of the crowd at the Longchamp racetrack in western Paris were twice what organizers expected, but it was what French President Jacques Chiric predicted when he greeted the pope Thursday.
Young people waved flags from more than 100 countries and held signs. One homemade poster, colored with crayons, read, "Hello, Pope, we love you!"
The pope, eager to keep the enthusiasm of young Catholics high, announced the next rendezvous — Rome in 2000.
On the record
A KU student's 1991 red Toyota Corolla SR5 was stolen between 9 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 13, from the 1600 block of Edgehill Road, Lawrence police said. The car was valued at $7,000.
A KU student's 1994 Mazda Miata was damaged between 11 a.m. and 11:02 a.m.
Monday, Aug. 18 in the 900 block of Tennessee, Lawrence police said. The damage was estimated at $300.
■ A KU student's housing permit permit was stolen between 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Wednesday from lot #102, KU police said. The permit was valued at $75.
A men's silver Mongoose 21 SR mountain bicycle was stolen between 8 p.m. Wednesday and 8:30 a.m. Thursday from the Delta Tau Delta fraternity, Lawrence police said. The bicycle was valued at $550.
A KU student's housing parking permit was stolen between 5 p.m. Wednesday and 9 a.m. Thursday from lot #105, KU police said. The permit was valued at $70.
Corrections
On-campus
A Friday column in the 'Kansan" did not fully explain the on-campus meeting announcement rate structure. Campus organizations may place notices of their meetings in the "Kansan's" classified at the following rates:
Ads running one to five days and three lines or less: The rate is $1.30 per line per day.
Ads running one to five days and four lines or more: The rate is 75 cents per line per day.
Ads running six days or more and up to three lines: The rate is $1 per line per day
Ads running six days or more and four lines or more: The rate is 60 cents per line per day.
Again, the purpose of the the "Kansan" putting these ads in the classified section is to assure organizations that their announcements will publish on their their desired publication date(s).
Misquote
In Friday's story on Kemper awards winners, the "Kansan" quoted Professor Charlene Muelenhard as saying that she did not know what she was going to do with the money she received, but that she might take her family on vacation. The quote should have been attributed to Professor Helen Alexander.

Volunteers scrub sleep to help
Their gift of time benefits centers
By Gwen Olson
Kansan staff writer
Taking time out to give back to the community can be an important part of college, even if it means missing a chance to sleep in on a Saturday morning.
About 80 KU students volunteered around Lawrence Saturday, helping out by cleaning, sorting, picking up trash and painting. The project, part of activities during Hawk Week, was sponsored by the Office of New Student Orientation and the Center for Community Outreach.
"Last year was the first time we tried this with cleaning up around Clinton Lake, but there were no more than 20 non-staff participants," said Heather Stoehr, Omaha, Neb., graduate student and Hawk Week coordinator.
The students volunteered at the Pelathe Community Center, the Lawrence Social Service League and the East Lawrence Recreation Center. They met at 10 a.m. at the Kansas Union and took buses to each center.
At the Pelathe Community Center, 1423 Haskell Ave., formerly the Lawrence Indian Center, students worked pulling weeds, painting and cleaning.
"I heard about the activity at my scholarship hall," said Becky Johnson, Overland Park freshman and resident of Douthart Scholarship Hall. "We're going to try to do as many things as we can today."
Most of the volunteers were from scholarship and residence halls.
Volunteers at the East Lawrence Recreation Center, 1245 E. 15th St., picked trash out of a creek behind the center. The students, who wore rubber gloves, found everything from candy wrappers to dirty clothes and a tricycle.
"We're from Battenfield Scholar ship Hall, and about 16 of us came out, which is a little better than one-third of our hall," said Chris Hess, Wichita sophomore. "This is more than we've ever had out on one of these projects, that's for sure."
"It's been good, but it's pretty messy," said Heather Norris, St. Louis freshman and resident of McCollum Hall. "The clothes are the most disgusting thing we've found."
At the Lawrence Social Service League, 905 Rhode Island St., about 30 students cleaned and organized clothing donations.
Norris said it was the first volunteer work she had done but that she planned to do more work in the future.

"They just need all sorts of help sorting," said Kelly Thompson, Springfield, Mo., junior. "We have been folding things, putting them into boxes and moving them into the warehouse."
Area businesses including Kwik Shop, Burger King and Bagel & Bagel donated refreshments for the volunteers. The Lawrence Social Service League also had muffins and tea for their volunteers.
Organizers said they were pleased with the number of students who participated.
"For a Saturday morning, we had a really good turnout," said Emily Heath, Oskaloosa senior and co-director of the Center for Community Outreach. "There are lots of new people here, and scholarship
and residence halls came out in full force."

You will have to look farther than the fall "Timetable of Classes" to find the newest options in foreign language classes.
The program distinguishes the University as one of four North American universities to offer such a program.
For the first time at the University of Kansas, the Department of Latin American Studies is offering beginning classes in two indigenous languages, Kaqchikel, a Mayan language, and Quichua, an Inca language.
The classes are not in the fall
timetable because details had not
been finalized when the timetables
were published.
The University of Iowa, the University of Texas and Tulane University already offer similar classes, said John Hoopes, acting director of Latin American Studies.
"The classes are pretty small right now," Hoops said. "But the classes will be taught regardless of what the enrollment is."
Hoopes said there were no prerequisites for the classes. And knowledge of another foreign language, such as Spanish, is not necessary.
Because the indigenous language
program is a two-year program, students can fulfill their entire foreign-language requirement with one of the languages, Hoopes said.
Two new instructors have been hired to teach the courses. Both are native speakers of the language they will teach.
Martina Masaquiza, a native of central Ecuador, has been hired as a lecturer to teach the Quichua class. Masaquiza was an elementary school teacher in Ecuador and has since taught Quichua at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
"The Western people come into our countries and teach us their ways and divide our people," Masaquiza said. "That is why our language is dying. By teaching the American students Quichua, I can use the linguistics to teach them my history and culture."

Masaquiza said that her language still was spoken throughout Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador. She estimated that between 13 million and 14 million people speak Quichua as their native language.
The Kaqchikel class will be taught by a graduate teaching assistant, Pakal B'alam of Guatemala. B'alam has written two books on Kaqchikel and has collaborated on three others. A native speaker of both Kaqchikel and Spanish, he is now a student of English.
Pakal B'am, graduate teaching assistant, is teaching a class in Kachikhel, a Mayan language. Along with Martina Masaquiza's Quichua class, an Inca language, B'am's class distinguishes the University of Kansas as one of four universities offering a program in the indigenous languages.

Examining
Keeping our hands on the wheel
Bureaucracy is superfluous to a system that can be fine-tuned by the people. This is the case with the University transportation system, headed by Scott Kaiser, coordinator for KUon Wheels.
Some argue the University busing system, KU on Wheels, is too large an endeavor for just one student to handle and that University faculty and administrators should help to shoulder some of the responsibility. However, Kaiser works in accordance with a seven member transportation board that consists of an eclectic student base. Together, Kaiser and the board make decisions that affect University busing policy. This is how it should be. The decisions pertaining to how student money is spent should be made by students.
Students already mistrust University administrators, as evidenced by the reaction over the recent deal the
Transportation system a big responsibility, but should remain in hands of students.
University made with Coca-Cola. This decision had a direct impact on students, yet they had little say in the matter.
Kaiser has expressed concern about the misconceptions students have about the process by which the University transportation system is run. He said he wanted to dispel notions that economic inefficacy has led KU on Wheels to financial difficulty. The budget report for the last fiscal year states that KU on Wheels netted more than $11,000. This money is funnelled into a reserve account that is used to repay loans owed to the Lawrence Bus Company.
Although some students have lobbied complaints against KU on Wheels—such as environmental concerns about bus emissions—these issues should be addressed by students rather than administrators who may be out of touch with students' concerns.
Kaiser is in contact with members of the transportation board. The board is advised by faculty members and administrators, but it makes the final decisions and Kaiser exercises them.
Administrators will not solve the transportation problems. Complaints students have should be voiced to Kaiser and the transportation board so effective solutions can be achieved.
Thomas Jefferson once said, "But it is not by the consolidation, or concentration, of powers, but by their distribution that good government is effected." The powers of the University transportation system should continue to be distributed to students' control.

Underage drinking: It's still illegal
Underage drinking is a fact of life in Lawrence. But illicit consumption of alcohol and stupidity seem to be increasingly insenable.
Students should not feel sorry for the 18-keg party that was busted last week. Minors were consuming alcohol merrily and the hosts were selling liquor without a liquor license. It was a raucous free-for-all, until the Lawrence Police Department showed up.
Yes, the police officers were dressed in plain clothes. No, they did not have a warrant to search the premises and look for criminals.
But they didn't need to. An officer was invited to the party by one of the hosts. The undercover officer was in a local liquor store as part of the
If you're committing a crime don't whine about the fine watch where you drink.
"Cops in Shops" program when he was invited to attend the widely publicized gathering.
The beginning of the school year is a popular time for parties, and these often include alcohol.
"We try to attend to it early, and remind [students] that hey, Lawrence police are here," said Sgt. Susan Hadi of the Lawrence Police Department. She said although that doesn't mean the department will be soft on underage drinking throughout the rest of the year, now is an opportunity time
for students to be reminded that the drinking age in Kansas is 21.
The Lawrence police do a good job of preserving order in the city, and should be commended when they uphold the law. Sure, students grumble about minor-in-possession charges and having a form of false identification confiscated, but they're really just upset about getting caught.
Partying did not end following the 18-kegger, and underage drinking will continue to pervade Lawrence. But don't get in the way of police trying to do their job - most of the time, they stay out of the way unless absolutely needed.
Students, on the other hand, should not be so flippant about who they invite to their houses for a good time.

Three ways to survive (even thrive) in college
My younger sister, Kate, won in the gene pool. She's smarter, better looking, and a whole lot nicer than my older sister, Sally, and me. The kid's got it all. Except for an opinion column
A. B.
As Kate readies for college, I feel compelled to dispense some brotherly advice. College is tricky, and dealing with professors takes skill and guile. So here, for Kate, are three tips for surviving college:
*If the reading list for a class has more than 500 pages or more than three titles, you don't have to read everything. The professor is merely getting
Andy
Obermueller
andyo@kansan.com
kickbacks from the publisher. Use the book review index in the library and find reviews of the book. Rephrase two smart-sounding points about the book and one good question. Professors like questions because it's an open invitation for them to rant ad nauseum. If a real discussion of the book comes up, you can mention you were impressed by (whoever's) comments about the book in (whatever source). This will impress the professor, who hasn't been to the library in years. If professors had actually read the books on their book lists, then they would ask objective questions about them. They're as much in the dark as you are. This, of course, is true about much more than just book reviews.
Don't introduce yourself to the professor on the first day of class. Wait until you have something to talk about and then go to office hours. Visit your professor once or twice during the semester to talk about class, not your grade. (Never ask a professor about your grade, keep track yourself.) Note: after you introduce yourself, not only can you not sleep in class, but you also must make eye contact and generally participate. If you aren't going to do either, then remain anonymous. This is an effective strategy in a large class in which you expend some effort, because by the third paper, the prof will be so glad to see your name amongst the drivel he has to read that he'll automatically boost your grade. At the end of the semester, you'll have the instructor rote-trained to give you an A. Remember, Pavlov himself was a professor.
*Never answer a question with any sort of definitive answer, unless a rare objective question is asked. Professors do not deal in answers, they deal in subjects. There is a distinct difference: questions have answers, subjects have concepts. If an instructor asks an open question, then he's either not prepared to lecture or he's senile and has lost his train of thought (Perpetuity is the downside of tenure). If the latter case is true, the prof is looking for someone to jog his memory. If you give an actual answer to the question, he'll be upset because he'll be forced to move. But if you raise a concept
— especially one he has somehow written a book about — he'll have something to talk about. More often than not, professors are at least as ill-prepared for class as you are. If educators were in the business of giving answers, most soon would be out of work since undergraduates rarely ask important questions (Graduate students never ask important questions: had they figured out the system the first time around, they would have jobs by now). You've got to work the system, because Mom and Dad won't spring for grad school too. Remember, as long as professors think you are at least as dumb as they are, you'll do fine. But when you start rising above their level by looking for, say, the truth, that's when the Cs start rolling in.
Well, there it is. The end result of my years of college, rolled into a few column inches. Good luck kiddo. Not that you need it.
And, oh yeah, call Mom once in a while.

Attention freshmen Beer good, justice better
midst the whirlwind of super-charged, peer-pressure motivated, intelligence draining beer-fests this week (and every college for some), it might be easy for
week of college for some incoming freshmen and seniors alike to forget what the focus of college life really is.
Admittedly, if you are a business, law, medicine (etc...) major who plans to do nothing more with your life than stock pile your child's inheritance, the rest of your days may play no greater role than keggers in making the world a better place. If you see college as a vehicle to understanding subtle truths rather than to a cush job, however, you won't

One bit of advice in dealing with classes: take some time to find the right teacher. Understand even that the right teacher for you may not jive with someone else. But if you just throw yourself in to the lottery for 100-level professors, chances are that you're going to be stuck with one you don't like. The way a professor runs a class can mean the difference between acquisition of hidden knowledge that you carry with you for the rest of you life or a simple waste of time and money.
find what you're looking for in Hawk week. You won't find what you're looking for at the Bull. You won't find it in superficial, elitist social clubs.
Now, as far a finding activist/information disseminating/solidarity building/whatever groups
Pull yourself away from huge groups of people who want you to stay locked in the same methods of interpersonal interaction and the same aspirations you saw in vacant-minded high schoolers. You always saw college as more, something really different, a new beginning. Don't let narrow-minded bullies, still on their parent's leash, take that away from you. There are many wonderful, life-altering experiences to be had here.
go, your flock is here to be found, though most are jammed in out-of-the-way gears of this machine called KU. To help you out, here's a brief run-down of some of the more active groups on campus and in the community and the contact people for those groups. Don't be bashful about calling these groups to find out when they meet; they want you to come, but you have to get a hold of them. They would call you and invite you if they knew you were interested.

Reader questions "Kansan" motives
This letter is in regards to the Potter's Lake incident. I found the article written by Mary Corcoran to be tasteless and one-sided. The story doesn't tell how the incident really started. A very serious injury also was left out of the article. A member of Phi Beta Sigma was almost beaten to death. Is there a reason why this injury was left out? The members of Phi Beta Sigma didn't show up at the party uninvited. The party at Potter's Lake was open to everyone. I don't recall the members of Kappa Alpha Psi
passing out invitations to certain individuals. I'm curious to know how a reporter can write a story based on one police report and one interviewee. This story should have been written after Corcoran had obtained more information. Why is it that the fights between caucasian fraternities are never reported on? I'm also curious to know why the negative incident occurs. The Kansan did it with Black Comedy Night last year and this past spring with the Black Student Union's financial status. I just want to ask the editors at the Kansan if this story would be on the front
page if something positive would have come out of the event? It's just very unfortunate that the Kansan is so quick to report on the negative incidents that happen between African-Americans and so slow to report on the positive incidents.
Eva Bradley Shreveport, La.. junior
Editor's Note: When reporting on fights, the "Kansan's" primary source of information is often police reports. The "Kansan" also contacts all parties involved. In this case the "Kansan" had to rely on police reports because representatives from the fraternities refused to discuss the events that occurred.

Scholars program switches gears
Reputation earns Sponholtz first directing position
By Jennifer A. Yeoman Kansas staff writer
A new director sits atop the Mt Oread Scholars program this fall.

The Mt. Oread Scholars, which is in its second year, is for freshman with an ACT score between 28 and 30 and who were in the top 20 percent of their graduating classes. About 130 students are in the program this year.
"It's a community with a lot of interaction," Sponholtz said. "It's a chance for the students to feel more at ease, and it's fun for me to be around all of the students."
Jim Carothers, who headed the program last year, said that these students were not quite in the honor's program but showed a lot of potential.
"It's important to put them in the right place," said Carothers,
professor of English. "It's the foundation for everything else they do here at KU."
Mt. Oread Scholars grew out of a 1995 study conducted by the Honors Task Force to determine how the freshman experience could be improved, Carothers said.
After serving as chairman of the Honors Task Force, the duty of directing the Mt. Oread Scholars fell on Carothers.
Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, associate provost of academic services, said that she had appointed Sponholtz because of his work with undergraduate advising and because of his reputation as a teacher.
Making Sponholtz the first director was part of the program's natural progression, Carothers said.
"Dr. Sponholtz is widely recognized on campus as an outstanding teacher, mentor and adviser," McCluskey-Fawcett said. "I know he will do an excellent job in working with this outstanding group of freshmen and in developing the full potential of this program and these students."
The program provides incoming freshmen with senior-level faculty advisors within their field. It
also sets aside spaces in classes taught by senior faculty members and provides help in preparing for scholarship applications.
The program already has proven its effectiveness. During its first year, the average GPA of Mt. Oread Scholars was a 3.32, compared to the 3.1 of students with
equal ACT scores. Mt. Oread Scholars also averaged 2.5 more credit hours during their freshmen years.
"Getting these students off to a good start assures persistence, retention and timely graduation," Carothers said. "I think the program is working."
Parolee sues prison for acquiring AIDS virus during rapes
The Associated Press
EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. — When Michael Blucker went to prison for burglary and auto theft in 1992, he wasn't expecting a death sentence.
A federal lawsuit filed by the 28-year-old parolee said that what he had gotten when he contracted the AIDS virus during repeated rapes in prison. The case goes to trial today.
Blucker, who is seeking unspecified damages, contended that a prison gang had forced him into sexual slavery and that authorities had done nothing to help him.
Blucker, who lives with his wife in suburban Chicago, was sentenced to prison in 1992.
He was escorted from cell to cell, where he was forced to have sex in exchange for valuables — sometimes just a pack of cigarettes — that later went to a prison gang leader, the lawsuit said.
He said he repeatedly had told prison officials at the Menard Correctional Center in Chester of the alleged rapes to no avail. And he argued that the state policy allowing HIV-positive inmates to live in the general population had put him at risk.
While declining to give specifics, corrections representative Nic Howell said that prison officials doubted Blucker's rape story and thought that he had contracted the virus during
consensual sex — perhaps before he entered prison. Prison officials also said that prison workers had educated inmates about the threat of HIV.
Blucker entered Menard on May 5, 1993. The lawsuit said that Blucker's HIV test at Menard on June 10, 1993, was negative but that another taken on March 29, 1994, was positive.
There are no widely accepted estimates on the number of rapes in prison, but Blucker's supporters said it was far higher than prison officials acknowledged.
"We're not asking for coddling," said Don Collins, president of the Los Angeles-based advocacy group Stop Prisoner Rape. "We're asking to keep him safe."
Jenni Gainsborough, a representative for the National Prison Project run by the American Civil Liberties Union, said she was unaware of any other case in which an inmate tried to prove he contracted HIV in prison.
State Rep. Cal Skinner has tried unsuccessfully to pass legislation requiring segregation of HIV-positive inmates and greater protection for victims of prison sex assault.
"He is not a winner," Skinner said of Blucker. "But there's nothing he has done that merits a death sentence, and yet that's what he's received."
JonBenet Ramsey parents saturate case with ads
The Associated Press
BOULDER. Colo. — The newspaper advertisements and fliers that the parents of JonBenet Ramsey have placed seeking help in finding their daughter's killer could be influencing potential jurors, said jury consultants and other experts.
JonBenet, 6, was found dead in her family's basement Dec. 26 about eight hours after her mother had said she had found a ransom note demanding $118,000. There have been no arrests, and no suspects have been identified, although the Ramseys have been described as a focus of the investigation.
Some of the experts contended that John and Patsy Ramsey were going to great lengths to divert attention from themselves, "The Denver Post" reported yesterday.
The Ramseys' latest advertisement appeared yesterday in the "Daily Camera" of Boulder and referred to the story lines of three popular crime movies: "Ransom," "Speed" and "Dirty Harry." It said the family thought that the killer had acted similarly to villains in the movies' extortion plots.
Previous ads have listed phrases from the movies with suggestions that they were similar to lines in the ransom demand.
"In terms of sending out fliers — sort of direct-mail advertising — that's pretty unprecedented," said Richard Kammen, an Indianapolis criminal defense attorney and jury selection consultant.
Potential jurors may not remember much about the fliers and ads by the time the case comes to trial, Kammen said.
unusual somebody would do that," he said. "It's sort of protesting too much."
A family attorney rejected Kam m e n's assessment.
"But if they remember, I think the memories would probably tend to be negative because it's so
"Ifrankly take exception to the notion that we're doing this to influence a jury pool," said attorney Ha'
I'll just put it here as is. If you want to include the text, it's probably better to transcribe it exactly from the image or use a different format that preserves the original style.
Ramsey: Ads and fliers may influence potential jurors.
Haddon. "Our whole purpose is to keep the pressure on the killer and to generate leads."
That idea is supported by one jury consultant. Robert Hirschhorn of Lewisville, Texas.
"If I were in their camp, my advice would be to keep the pressure on — to keep doing what you're doing.
"This is such a horrific crime, and when suspicion originally focused on the family, it left an indelible impression on many potential jurors. They now have to fight to find their daughter's killer and clear their name in the public eye."
Earlier this month, Haddon told "Time" magazine that the family's team of private investigators and forensic experts had produced nine substantial, credible leads. He said that none of the leads was strong enough yet to turn over to Boulder police.
Haddon acknowledged that the Ramseys were not gaining fans with their advertisements.
"All the feedback from the public has been pretty negative," he said. "Everything we've said has been turned against us."

A pageant of potential Republican presidential candidates, in a weekend warmup act for the 2000 campaign, highlighted GOP fixtures that could pit the Washington establishment against the likes of Quayle and Alexander—self-styled "outsiders" from the inside.
Lamar Alexander has been Tennessee's governor, George Bush's education secretary and a failed presidential candidate. Yet he, too, solemnly swears, "You can't call me a Washington insider."
INDIANAPOLIS — He spent four years in the House of Representatives, eight in the United States Senate and a bumpy term inside the White House. Yet Dan Quayle said with a straight face, "I am an outsider."
Quayle set the tone at the Midwest Republican Leadership Conference. Delivering a passionate address to about 1,000 activists on the conference's first day, the former vice president accused Republican congressional leaders of overly accommodating President Clinton in the budget process.

MORE THAN JUST ACOPY CENTER

GOP hopefuls disavow beltway Washington ties
Coming just two hours after House Speaker Newt Gingrich of Georgia defended the deal before the same audience, Quayle's remarks sent a signal to GOP congressional leaders who hope to run for president: Watch your back.

"I'm afraid that the taxpayers once again got the shaft," he said.

Gingrich, Senate Majority
Quayle talked about his new home in Phoenix and his fights against Washington establishment.
—Alexander, whose homey plaid shirts were a 1996 campaign cliche, stressed that he only lived in Washington for a few years.
Leader Trent Lott of Mississippi and Rep. John Kasich, R-Ohio, who was instrumental in the budget negotiations, are considering presidential bids.
—Jack Kemp, the GOP's vicepresidential nominee last year, took the conference's only direct shot at Gingrich, criticizing the speaker's call for a second "Contract with America" for 2000.
Yet the budget debate underscores the problem facing Gingrich and other GOP leaders who still will have to deal with a Democratic president to get anything done the next three years.

The hopefuls found other ways to bolster their outsider-oriented messages.
"He really ought to focus on the re-election of Congress in 1998 and the issues important to Republican voters then." he said.
The trio's names rarely were evoked, but presidential hopefuls who paraded before Midwest Republicans took steady aim at the leadership's work.
Thompson, chairman of the committee investigating Democratic fund-raising irregularities, suggested that his own party had not done enough to reform the campaign finance system. The former prosecutor and Hollywood actor hopes to position himself as an outsider reforming Washington from the inside.
One-time presidential contender Steve Forbes called the budget deal "an abomination" and issued a call to the conservative wing: "My friends, it's time we start acting like Republicans."
Sen. Fred Thompson, R-Tenn., said government spending had not been trimmed enough. "We're fooling ourselves and forgetting why we came to Washington," he said.
It was Rep. J.C. Watts, R-Okla., who cast himself as the ultimate outsider in this field of presidential wannabes.
Clearly, the presidential prospects were trying to tap into the frustration among grassroots Republicans with leadership in Washington.
Texas Gov. George W. Bush warned that Republicans can't trust Clinton to adhere to the accord.
Echoing Quayle, firebrand Alan Keyes said: "I believe in compromise. I don't believe in compromising principles."
"Agreements can be broken," he said.
"Newt gave a great speech here, but he needs to follow up when he gets back to D.C.," said Mike Gubash, 42, of St. Paul, Minn., who attended the three-day conference that ended yesterday.
including dozens of delegates here, said the budget deal would be old news by 2000.
"I say from the outset, I do not seek to be the (presidential) nominee of the Republican Party in the year 2000," he said. "I do not seek to be the vice-presidential candidate in the year 2000."
"If you are a Republican trying to earn your conservative stripes, the budget is an easy issue to demagogue on — or complain about," he said.
Keith Fortmann, executive director of the Iowa Republican party, said the message was not lost on GOP presidential hopefuls.

African troops learning art of keeping the peace
The Associated Press
KALAMA HILL, Uganda — Flat on their bellies in crackling new American uniforms, Ugandan soldiers aim their AK-47 assault rifles and mimic the sounds of gunfire.
"Incoming! You've got artillery! Get a clock direction, and move out!" barks Sgt. 1st Class Rick Masters.
The Cincinnati native is one of 120 American soldiers sent to Uganda and Senegal to train the embryo of what the United States and other Western nations hope will become an African force to keep peace on the fracious continent.
"Africa should be able to take care of its own problems. It's the old concept: If a person's hungry, don't give them a fish. Teach them how to fish," said Maj. Matthew Dansbury of Trenton, N.J., commander of the 54-man Army training team in Uganda.
The soldiers from Fort Bragg,
N.C. — some from the Special
Forces Group, others from the 18th Airborne Corps — arrived July 21 at this hilltop overlooking the Kabamba military training school, 150 miles west of Kampala, Uganda's capital.
Fresh from fighting rebels in the restive northwest, the 770 Ugandan soldiers of the 3rd Battalion, 307th Infantry Brigade, camp in more modest conditions and live off cornmeal porridge and chapatis.
Many of the soldiers know the American trainers from earlier courses in Uganda aiming to improve the quality of the Ugandan People's Defense Force, a former guerrilla army that helped President Yoweri Museveni come to power in 1986.
Although the program covers military basics like marksmanship, it
The United States is conducting its first peacekeeper training exercises in Uganda and Senegal to show support for the two countries, which have democratic and human rights records seen as fairly clean by African standards.
stresses the philosophy and tactics of peacekeeping.
With a $15 million budget put up by the United States, the training program now has camps at Kalaima Hill and at Thies, Senegal, and is to be expanded by year's end with camps in Mali, Ethiopia and Malawi. Three other locations are still to be named.
The idea of an all-African peacekeeping force first was floated by then-Secretary of State Warren Christopher during an African tour in late 1996. Response was less than enthusiastic. South Africa was downright hostile, fearing Washington wanted it to shoulder the responsibility.
But after Western-led peacekeeping debacles in Somalia and Rwanda — where U.N.-mandated forces either failed to resolve a conflict or failed to intervene to stop a genocide—and the rebellion in the former Zaire with its thousands of refugees, the big seven industrial nations and Russia threw their support behind the idea in June.
Thailand's economy struggles as investors lose confidence
The Associated Press
Monetarv Fund.
MANILA, Philippines — Five years ago, Philippine officials hoped their country's sagging economy could duplicate Thailand's stunning growth.
No longer. In only a few months, a currency crisis has turned Thailand from a Southeast Asian economic success into a case study of growth gone wrong. The Philippines and other regional countries are struggling to convince investors that they have not made Thailand's mistakes.
Just as Thailand's achievements helped make investors bullish on Southeast Asia, its turmoil dragged many of the region's currencies sharply lower and brought a reappraisal of other Southeast Asian economies.
Thailand's currency, the baht, was battered last week, hitting a new low against the U.S. dollar despite a $17 billion rescue package approved Wednesday by the International
The region has learned that open markets can be exceedingly painful.
Together, Southeast Asian countries have spent about $30 billion in scarce foreign reserves in recent unsuccessful attempts to prop up their currencies in the world's free-wheeling foreign exchange market.
In less than two months, the baht has fallen 23 percent against the dollar, the Philippine peso is down 14 percent, Indonesia's rupiah has
dropped 20 percent and Malaysia's ringit is off 12 percent.
Jitters over the currency fluctuations have pushed most regional stock markets sharply lower, and higher interest rates threaten to slow economic growth.
One benefit is that the devaluations should make the region's exports cheaper and more competitive. But weaker currencies also raise the costs of imported oil, factory equipment and components that many Southeast Asian nations rely on.
On July 2, Thailand's government allowed the baht to float, yielding to heavy pressure from currency traders who felt the currency was overvalued.

new era of Kansas football. During his introduction of Allen, Chancellor Robert Hemenway mentioned several things that would happen in the new era. The first was the $32 million renovation of Memorial Stadium that will begin after the last home game this season — the Nov. 1 homecoming matchup against Iowa State.
Others put on waivers were defensive tackle Brentson Buckner, offensive tackle Pete Swanson and safety Vann Washington, the Chiefs announced yesterday.
And while all of these changes will help usher in the new era next season, there are plenty of changes for this season.
Hemenway joked that the renovation would make getting a Coke at the games easy and that fans would be able to use the rest room at the stadium next season.
Before the six home football games, the players will walk from the Campanile to the locker room about an hour and 20 minutes before kickoff. Allen encouraged fans at the rally to greet the team on Campanile Hill for the walk before Thursday night's game against Alabama-Birmingham. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. under the lights, so the team is scheduled to stroll down the hill at about 5:40 p.m.
The identity and characteristics of the new era in Kansas football will be unknown until this inaugural season ends. But Allen and the Jayhawks only will get one chance to make a first impression on the field.
Ready or not, Kansas football debuts Thursday night.
The reputation of Kansas football fans preceded Terry Allen. It seems he has heard the fans sit on their hands. And he alluded that fans also tend to use a different scoreboard indicator than the game clock to decide when to leave the stadium.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Former Kansas teammates June Henley and Isaac Byd were among five players cut yesterday as the Kansas City Chiefs reduced their roster to the NFL maximum of 53.

Many goals set for soccer team
By Geoff Krieger
Goalies fighting injuries, sickness
With the season opener just four days away, the Kansas soccer team has several unanswered questions, including the starting goaltender position.
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas soccer coach Dan Magner evaluated the team during an intra-squad game Friday at Super Target Field west of Oliver Hall.
The game was originally scheduled at Shawnee Heights High School in Topeka. But Kansas officials learned Friday morning that there was an NCAA regulation that prohibits preseason games from being played off campus. So the Jayhawks' three goaltenders competed for the starting role on familiar turf.
"We have faith in all three of our goakekeepers," Magner said. "Jen is really the incumbent. She was the starter last year, and I would say she is somewhat of a front runner right now."
Magner said Jennifer Fecke, sophomore goaltender, was the favorite to start in the season opener Friday against Illinois State
Fecke has not been in the best of health recently. She has had a nagging knee injury and an upper respiratory infection during the past week that has given her flu-like symptoms.
"Getting to the Big 12 tournament is at the top of our team's goals. I believe this year we have the potential."
kansas soccer coach
One backup goaltender has been hit by similar bad luck.
Magner said Katie Garrity, freshman, has had mononucleosis and will be out for the rest of the season.
Magner said Betsy Pollard, sophomore goaltender, the backup goalie from last year, had been effective during two scrimmages.
Those scrimmages gave Magner a chance to see his team in action. And though he said he hadn't made any decisions on starters or even who to keep on the roster, he does have a good idea where the team stands.
"At this point, when we look at day one to right now, we see vast improvement," Magner said. "As time goes by, the comfort level of the kids gets stronger and stronger."
"Getting to the Big 12 tournament is at the top of our team's goals," he said. "I believe this year we have the potential."
Magner has plenty of ideas for the team this season, and he has no problem setting the sights high.
Roy Williams pleased to have Earl released from old school
Kansan staff report
for eligibility purposes.
The University of Kansas announced Friday that Lester Earl would be eligible to play for the Jayhawks in the Dec. 20 game against Texas Christian in Kansas City, Mo. He will be classified as a junior
"We are very happy for Lester that this has happened." Kansas coach Roy Williams said. "Hopefully, this has brought some closure to his situation."
A steering committee for the Collegiate Commissioners Association granted Earl a mutual release from the letter of intent he had signed with Louisiana State.
Earl: Forward has been cleared to play beginning Dec 20 against TCU
The 6-foot-8 forward transferred to Kansas in January after averaging 9.3 points and 5.7 rebounds in 11 games for the Tigers. The former high school All-American will practice with the Jayhawks when they begin drills Oct. 18 at "Late Night with Row Williams."
Earl also practiced with the team last season after he enrolled in January.
Including the TCU game, Earl will be eligible to play in five games — all of which are on the road — before the Big 12 Conference opener against Nebraska on Jan. 3 at Allen Field House.
"We have been asked once or twice about Lester's situation since he arrived in January, so now maybe they can change those signs in Allen Field House from 'Free Lester' to 'Lester Freed,' Williams said jokingly. "In all seriousness, this has been a difficult time for Lester, and we are relieved that this period has ended for him."
Earl appealed LSU's refusal to release him in a letter to the association's steering committee. The committee met at the end of last week and informed Earl of its decision regarding his appeal.
Student-athletes may appeal a school's refusal to release them from letters of intent. The letter of intent requires a student-athlete to complete a year of residency at the school, which in Earl's case is LSU. The student-athletes sign the letters while they are seniors in high school.
The appeal process involves a letter from the student-athlete explaining his or her case and reasons for not completing the year of residency.

Assistant Athletic Director Jeff O'Malley, who sits on the school's Camby investigating committee, said it could wrap up its work next month.

The NCAA decided that Camby was ineligible to play in amateur sports because he had accepted gifts from a sports agent before the 1996 tournament.
But the campus began looking at other allegations earlier this summer in the wake of news reports saying sports agent John Lunsbury claimed that he gave Camby $40,000 in money and gifts, including some during the 1994-95 season. Camby had acknowledged publicly that he had taken about $2,000 from that agent.

Holtz, who was known to downplay his team's chances on the eve of a game, said that he may even come across as a booster for his old team in his new role as college football analyst for CBS Sports.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and are not real.

BRISTOL, Tenn. — The Winston Cup championship race has a different look in the aftermath of the Goody's Headache Powder 500.
Before the event Saturday night at Bristol Motor Speedway, some already were conceding the title to 1995 champion Jeff Gordon. He went into the race with eight victories and a 99-point lead over Mark Martin.
Gordon's loss makes racing title competitive
But Gordon was forced to nurse home a damaged car and finished 35th. Martin finished second to Dale Jarrett and emerged with a 13-point lead over Gordon.
"Unfortunately, a couple of lapped cars trying to make up their laps got Jeff Gordon," Martin said. "There wasn't anything that he could do. But if he's in the garage, that's how we make our points up.

"We had a great week last week (at Michigan Speedway, where he won) and gained 10 points," Martin said.
"That's not going to do it."
With 10 of 32 races remaining, Martin was quick to point out that anything could still happen.

"We spent a bunch of time in the garage already this year, and we're probably going to spend some more," he said. "And (Gordon) may, too. It's a long race, yet."

Kansas Crew: looking for a few good women
There are no requirements, but height helps
By Brad Hallier
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas rowing coach Rob Catloth is inviting students to walk on tryouts this week.
There are no athletic requirements for attending the tryouts.
"It helps to be tall," Catloth said. "We are looking for women about six feet tall — good, hardworking students who are serious about the classroom and are strong competitors."
Tryouts for the third campaign of women's rowing are today, tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday. The team will meet at 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. in the Allen Field House lobby.
Catloth said most of the women on the team last year had never done any of the glamour sports,
such as basketball or volleyball, and were mostly walk-ons.
And the season went well.
"We finished sixth in our region, and considering the team was consisted of mostly freshmen and sophomores, that's not bad," he said.
This year's team has 39 returning members, losing only three to graduation. Key members of this year's team include junior Ashley Masoni, who was a first team Academic All-American last year; junior Becky Valburg; sophomore Risa Petty; and
"Our goal for the season is to qualify at least one boat for the NCAA championships in May and to keep improving as a team," Catloth said.
senior Jennifer Adams.
Experience is not required. Catloth said he had only one member on the team with previous rowing experience — junior Orianna Strom.
The team will have a light fall schedule that includes a trip Oct. 18-19, to Boston for The Head of the Charles competition. The team will then travel Oct. 26 to
Iowa City, Iowa, for The Head of
Iowa on the Iowa River.
The final fall competition will be Nov. 8 against Kansas State in
Manhattan. The schools will meet for a Sunflower Showdown in crew the same day as the annual football game between the rivals.
The Basic Facts about Rowing
■ Number of people in a boat: Eight rowers plus a cox.
■ Length of boat: 58 feet.
■ Length of course: 2000 meters (About a mile and a quarter).
■ Oar (paddle) length: 12 feet. Each rower has one.
What is a cox? Coach Catloth explains it: "The brains of the boat. They are the captains. They tell the rowers when to row, and the cox steers also."
Suspended Cavalier ponders several alternative colleges
Player considering Kansas program
The Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va. — Virginia's Courtney Alexander, suspended indefinitely after being charged with assaulting his girlfriend, said that he would not return to the Cavaliers and was reviewing transfer options.
Alexander said from his home in Durham, N.C., that he would choose from a list that includes Connecticut, Syracuse, Kansas, UCLA and Georgetown. He denied a radio report that he already had chosen Big East power Connecticut.
"Right now, I'm open," he said. "I'm looking at different schools. It's more of me finding the best possible school for me and my future. As far as the UConn rumor, there's other schools I'm interested in."
Alexander led Virginia in scoring last season with an average of 14.8 points a game.
UConn basketball coach Jim Calhoun, in a statement to the "Hartford Courant," said that Alexander had contacted the Huskies about the possibility of a transfer.
"We have received an inquiry ... and we have talked to him," Calhoun said. "That's all I can tell you."
Cavaliers coach Jeff Jones, who banned Alexander from all team activities the day after he was arrested, declined to discuss Alexander's departure.
"Until this whole thing is played out, I won't have any public comment," Jones said.
Virginia released a statement that it had granted Alexander permission to contact schools where he might be interested in transferring. Such permission is required by the NCAA.
Wherever Alexander transfers, he will be ineligible to play at any Division I school until the fall of 1998. NCAA rules state.
Alexander was arrested July 18 after his girlfriend, Joiel Coleman, 21, told police that Alexander had hit her, had choked her and had kicked her in the ribs at
their Charlottesville, Va., apartment. Coleman is the mother of Alexander's infant child.
Alexander was charged with assault and battery. A court hearing is scheduled for today in the Albemarle County Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court. According to a document filed with the court by Alexander's attorney on Aug. 11, Coleman said she was willing to withdraw the charge. However, prosecutors are not obligated to drop the charge.
Alexander said that he would not comment about his decision to leave Virginia until the criminal case was resolved.
The 6-foot 6 forward had started 42 of 53 games since he arrived at Virginia two seasons ago.
The team will survive without Alexander, center Colin Ducharme said.
"I don't know if we're hampered at all. I really think we're going to come out and have a good year," said Ducharme, a sophomore from Richmond. "I hope Courtney does well at whatever school he goes to. I look forward to playing against him.
Chancellor, coach encourage fans to embrace season
Continued from page 1B
Allen enthusiastically spoke about the new walking-down the hill tradition he will start with the team.
"An hour and twenty minutes before kick off, we will be dressed and walking down from the Campanile to the locker room," Allen said. "This is an event that the whole University can become a part of. Now, I've heard a nasty rumor that says Kansas fans sit on their hands.
"We're giving you exciting, hard-hitting football on the field. Get up on your feet and let us know it," Allen said. Kansas freshman place kicker Joe Garcia said he was pleased with the turnout.
"I didn't expect that many people to come out here today," Garcia said. "It's nice to come out here and see what kind of support we have. I'm excited about Thursday night, but I'm nervous. I hope I can get all the nervousness out of my body by then."
Kansas junior tight end Brian Gray also appreciated the fan turnout.
"It's awesome," Gray said. "It's great to see the support for the staff and the new program. I hope it continues through the season."
Kickoff for the Alabama-Birmingham game is at 7 p.m. Thursday at Memorial Stadium.

Mistakes doom Sooners
CHICAGO — The Oklahoma Sooners began the 1997 season where they left off last year — with goofs by special teams helping the other side score.
The Associated Press
Missed field goals, short punts that gave Northwestern good field position and a fumbled kickoff return contributed to a 24-0 loss for the Sooners Saturday in the Pigskin Classic.
Similar special teams mistakes helped Oklahoma lose three games during their 3-8 in 1996 season — the worst in the school's history.
"It's like the same scenario (as last year)," said Sooner halfback De'Mond Parker. "Our own selves, we were our worst enemy."
Oklahoma moved the ball well Saturday and outrushed the Wildcats 151-112. But place-kicker Jeremy Alexander missed two field goal attempts of 42 and 36 yards, and a 6-yard punt by Brian Shackleford led to a Northwestern field goal.
"We haven't
"gwe haven't
"a pouten
that does a
good job."
That was just in the first half.
"It's pretty frustrating to move the ball like that and not put it in the end zone," said Oklahoma quarterback Justin Fuente. "When we got down inside the 30, things got bogged down, and we would have a bad play."
Just after Northwestern drove 80 yards for a touchdown and made it 14-0 in the fourth quarter, a 34-yard punt by Shackleford and an illegal procedure penalty gave the Wildcats the ball back on Oklahoma's 40 yard line.
Two minutes later, Northwestern
QJ
admitted Oklahoma coach John Blake. Shackleford averaged just 33.4 yards a punt Saturday.
"It's like we keep playing the same game over and over again," Parker said.
Then freshman Chris Lewis fumbled on the kickoff return after the field goal, giving Northwestern the ball at the Sooners' 14 yard line. Wildcat fullback Levelle Brown responded with a 16-yard touchdown run.
Syracuse shuts out Wisconsin
By Richard Rosenblatt The Associated Press
quarter.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — What better way to start the kickoff Classic than to have the opening kickoff returned for a touchdown?
The season got off to a rousing start for No. 17 Syracuse as Kevin Johnson ran back the opening kickoff 89 yards for a touchdown and the Orangemen shut down tailback Ron Dayne in a 34-0 victory against No. 24 Wisconsin yesterday.
Syracuse, with Donovan McNabb running for one TD and passing for another, took a 24-0 halftime lead, while the 5-foot-10, 262-pound Dayne, coming off an NCAA freshman record-breaking season, was never a factor. He carried nine times for 33 yards in the first 30 minutes, and the Badgers were unable to muster much offense all day.
Meanwhile, McNabb had the Badgers' defense off balance all day, running 21 yards for a touchdown and completing passes of 33 and 26 yards and setting up Rob Konrad's 1-yard touchdown in a 14-point second
McNabb, who added an 8-yard touchdown pass to tight end Kaseem Sinceno in the third quarter, was sensational, going 11 of 14 for 211 yards and running for another 27 yards on five carries. Konrad, the Orangemen's 6-3, 255-pound fullback, carried eight times for 76 yards, while Dayne finished with 46 yards on 13 carries.
Dayne and McNabb have been touted as Heisman Trophy contenders, but Dayne's stock has fallen with the least productive of his 10 career starters. Last season, he ran for 1,836 yards — the fourth best in the nation. His previous low as a starter was 62 yards against Iowa.
Johnson fielded Vitaly Pisetsky's kickoff at the 11-yard line, cut to his left, received a key block from Roland Williams and ran untouched into the end zone 16 seconds into the game. Linebacker Kevin O'Neil threw another block at the Wisconsin 20. and Johnson kept going.
Dayne, running behind three freshmen linemen, carried once for 5 yards on the Badgers' drive
and three more times for 14 yards on the second drive. But Wisconsin was unable to generate a passing game with quarterbacks Mike Samuel and Scott Kavanagh, who came in for most of the second quarter.
Syracuse took a 10-1 lead on Nate Trout's 37-yard field goal with 54 seconds in the first quarter.
The Orangemen broke the game open with two touchdowns in a 7:47 span of the second quarter.
McNabb escaped the rush and completed a 39-yard pass to Darryl Daniel to the Badgers 34. Three plays later, McNabb ran left on the option, faked a pitch, and followed Konrad's block into the end zone for a 21-yard run.
The lead moved to 24-0 on Syracuse's next possession. McNabb hit tight end Williams with a 33-yard pass, then threw to Konrad for a 26-yard gain to the Wisconsin 24. Three plays later, Konrad scored from a yard out.
With 3:46 left in the third period, McNabb rolled left and threw his touchdown pass to Sinceno before Trout added a 32-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter.
Six OSU football players ineligible
The Associated Press
oSu
STILLWATER, Okla.—Six Oklahoma State football players, including senior tailback Andre Richardson, have been ruled ineligible to play during the 1997-98 football season, officials said.
The OSU Suspension Appeals Review Board decided not to reinstate Richardson, linebackers Raymond Cato and Eric Stevenson, tailback Justin Matthews, defensive lineman Kerry Linnear and wide receiver Cameron White, all of
whom had been suspended earlier. All six can reapply for admission for the 1998 spring semester, officials said.
Richardson has played each of the past three seasons for Oklahoma

Pace debuts; Chiefs lose
No.1 draft pick's size is impressive
The Associated Press
ST. LOUISE — Orlando Pace was so eager to play, he didn't seem to care that he was facing the Kansas City Chiefs' reserves.
"I was just out there playing football," the NFL draft No. 1 pick said after getting his first action in the St. Louis Rams' 14-13 exhibition victory Friday night.
"It wasn't about who it was against. I was just out there playing." Pace said.
Pace missed all of training camp and practiced only five days after signing a rookie-record, $29.4 million, seven-year contract last week. In his first-ever reserve role, he opened his share of holes and didn't allow any Chiefs near Rams backup Mark Rypien.
Chiefs defensive tackle Kerry Hicks, who lined up against Pace most of the time, was impressed with the 334-pound rookie.
"He's a big player — he's huge," said Hicks, who is 6-foot-6 and 283 pounds. "You could tell he had some soreness and stiffness, but you don't get to be the No.1 pick by being a slacker.
"I expect him to be a lot sharper when we play them later."
The Rams (2-2) and Chiefs (1-3) also play in the regular season, Oct. 26 in St. Louis.
Physically, Pace said he was ready to go. Mentally, he knows he has some work to do.
"Towards the end, they asked me if I was tired," he said. "I told them I was fine, but they went ahead and took me out anyway. They just wanted me to get a little work in — just get familiar with the atmosphere, get a couple plays."
Pace trotted onto the field to a pacemic response from a sellout crowd of 63,938. On his first play, he double-teamed defensive end Steve Wallace, who went nowhere. On his second, he drew an offsides penalty on Leslie Ratliffe. On his third, he drove Hicks out of the way and opened a hole for a 6-yard gain by Amp Lee.
On the other hand, he was called for a 5-yard false start penalty later in the third quarter.
"That was anxiety," Pace said. "I was just anxious to go."
The much-awaited debut was the biggest news until the finish of a somewhat lackluster Governor's Cup game, rendered meaningless because the teams also play later when it counts.
"I'm always pleased when we win," coach Dick Vermeil said. "But I would rather play better and lose."
The Rams blocked Louie Aguiri's punt and scored their only touchdown on the next play on Lee's 13-
yard run with 6:40 to go.
Agular dropped a good snap, giving Jay Williams enough time to get his left arm in the way. Dwayne Sabb picked up the bouncing ball and carried it 21 yards.
Pace was on the sideline when Lee, who had 61 yards on 14 carries in his battle for a roster spot, scored. Rypien passed to Keith Crawford for a two-point conversion.
The Chiefs made it interesting with a 76-yard pass play from Pat Barnes to Kevin Lockett, setting up a 1-yard, fourth-down TD run by Tony Richardson with 2:41 to play. Kansas City went for the two-point conversion, but rookie cornerback Dexter McCleon intercepted a pass intended for Isaac Byrd in the end zone.
Greg Hill ran for 34 yards on seven carries for the Chiefs and scored on a 2-yard run with 5:47 left in the second quarter.
The Rams got field goals of 47 and 21 yards from Jeff Wilkins, who finished nine for nine in the preseason
Rams tailback Lawrence Phillips carried the ball only two times for three yards before leaving with swelling in his left knee. He had knee surgery in the offseason.
Rams wide receiver Isaac Bruce missed his third preseason game with a strained hamstring. Backup Jermaine Ross caught three passes for 72 yards in the first half.
Jays beat Royals in 13 innings
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jose Cruz Jr.'s two-run homer in the 13th inning, his second of the game, lifted the Toronto Blue Jays to an 11-8 victory against the Kansas City Royals yesterday.
Jacob Brumfield singled at the beginning of the 13th inning off Larry Casian (0-2), and Carlos Garcia sacrificed. Cruz, who had the first four-hit game of his career, hit his 20th homer into the left-field seats. It was the third two-homer game for Cruz, who came to Toronto last month in a trade with Seattle.
Joe Carter doubled, and Carlos Delgado followed with an RBI single and made the score 11-8.
Tim Crabtree (3-3) got the final six outs, and Toronto had a season-high 21 hits, handing the Royals their fifth straight loss.
Chili Davis hit a three-run homer, and Larry Sutton hit his first major-league home run for Kansas City.
Trailing 8-6, the Royals tied it in the ninth innning off Kelvim Escobar on rookie Jed Hansen's two-run double. Escobar had been 10-for-10 in save opportunities, tying a team record for consecutive saves with Duane Ward in 1991 and Darren Hall in 1994.
Toronto scored four runs in the
Ed Sprague's 13th homer of the season, which came in the seventh off Gregg Olson, gave Toronto an 8-6 lead.
sixth and took a 7-1 lead. Carter's single brought in the go-ahead run, and Charlie O'Brien and Tomas Perez had RBI singles in the inning.
The Royals had taken a 6-3 lead in the fifth on Davies' 25th home run.
Sutton hit a three-run shot off Blue Jays starter Chris Carpenter and tied it at 3-3 in the fourth.
Carpenter allowed six runs and six hits in seven innings. He struck out a career-high eight and walked three.
Toronto scored a run in each of the first three innings. Cruz hit his 19th home run the first, and sacrifice flies by O'Brien in the second and Delgado in the third made it 3-0.
Royals starter Ricky Bones gave up seven runs and 11 hits. He walked one and struck out five.

NFL teams pare rosters before season opens
The Associated Press
Qadry Ismail won't replace Desmond Howard with the Green Bay Packers.
Ismailwas traded to Miami for a conditional draft choice yesterday as NFL teams cut down to the 53-man limit.
The cuts are hardly permanent — many teams readjust their rosters for the entire week leading up to the opener, and many players cut may be back where they started after waivers expire today.
But the most active teams were some of the best — the Packers, Jacksonville and Pittsburgh, which re-signed kicker Norm Johnson after discovering that Chris Jacke, the ex-Packer, will be out 4-6 weeks with a hip injury.
Some cuts clearlv involvemonev
Some cuts clearly involvemoney. Pittsburgh, for example, released quarterback Jim Miller, their opening-day starter last year. He would have made nearly $1.9 million as a third-stringer behind Kordell Stewart and Mike Tomezk.
The trade of Ismail was about a different sort of numbers — Green Bay's glut of talented wide receivers.
when first-round draft pick Yatil Green injured a knee and was forced to sit out for the season.
"Qadry gives us additional depth at the wide receiver position and also will help us as a kick returner," said Miami coach Jimmy Johnson.

Andre Johnson,
taken 30th overall last season,

Jaguars
In addition to trading defensive end Paul Frase and offensive tackle Jimmy Herndon to Chicago for a seventh-round draft pick, Jacksonville cut three veterans — cornerback Robert Massey; Le Shai Maston, who started at fullback last season, and Todd Philcox, who has been the second-string quarterback behind Rob Johnson.
The release of Philcox leaves only Steve Matthews, picked up last week after being released by Kansas City, as a backup quarterback while starter Mark Brunell
recovers from knee injury
Dolphins
Safety Sean Hall, receiver Scott Miller and defensive lineman Norman Hand were among the players
N.Y. TIGERS
The Dolphins also released wide receiver Lawrence Dawsey, who played last season for the New York Giants and before that for Tampa Bay.
Bucs
Reggie Brooks, who had the Bucs' only 100-yard rushing game last season, was among seven players cut.
Brooks was expendable because the Bucs used their first-round draft pick on running back Warrick Dunn.
Cincinnati kept 31-year-old Erik Wilhelm insteaed on rookie fee
agent Eric Kresser. offensive lineman Kevin Sargent was placed on the physically unable to perform list.
Boomer Esiason thought coach Bruce Coslet would bring back Kresser to the practice squad if he cleared walers.
Lions
Detroit cut six players, including running back Eric Lynch and defensive lineman Shane Dronett.
Lynch played four seasons with the Lions when he filled in for the injured Barry Sanders after being activated from the practice squad.
Linebacker Rickey Jackson,
attempting a comeback at age 39
SUNY Poly State University
after being out of football for two seasons, was released. Jackson was with the Saints for 13 seasons
93, before signing with San Francisco and earning a Super Bowl ring with the 49ers in 1994.
Colts
Quarterback Kerwin Bell, who waited more than eight years before taking his first NFL snap last season, was among seven players waived.

game. He was in the World League
in 1991-92 and in the Canadian
Football League from 1993-95
before signing with the Colts .

The Oilers cut five rookies and two second-ear players.
Ravens
They kept kick returner Mel Gray, a 12-year veteran who has $450,000 of his salary guaranteed, and third-down specialist Ronnie Harmon.
Baltimore acquired offensive linemen Bernard Dafney from Pittsburgh and Ben Cavil from Philadelphia for two seventh-round draft picks.
Ten players were waived, and Bam Morris, who will serve a fourgame substance abuse suspension, was inactivated. The Ravens gave up their seventh-round pick in the 1998 draft for Dafney and their seventh pick in the 1999 draft for Cavil. Jets
Coach Bill Parcells' revolving door continued, as the Jets cut Ray Lucas, the special teams whiz signed only last Wednesday.
The best-known player cut was defensive lineman Reggie White not the Green Bay star but the one
who played with San Diego's 1994 AFC champions.
Eagles
Rams
Journeyman offensive lineman Harry Boatswain and wide receiver Ante Singleton, both veterans of San Francisco's 1994 NFL championship team, were among six players cut.
Linebacker Percell Gaskins, a

FAST FOOTBALL
and defensive back Mike Scurlock, a fifth-rounder in 1995, were the most notable names
among the seven players released. Both are injured.
Broncos
Fourth-round draft choice Cory Gilliard, a safety from Ball State, and 37-year-old offensive lineman Reggie McElyre were among seven released. 49ers
In addition to defensive tackle Steve Emtmian, also released were fullback Steve Avery, wide receiver Travis Hannah, tackle Mike Keim and guard Rod Milstead, and defensive linemen Albert Reese and Carlos Thornton.

Ashe legacy endures; new stadium a tribute
Courts open despite political bickering
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The new 22,547-seat Arthur Ashe Stadium was unveiled Saturday with a focus on children. In the shadow of the imposing new red brick structure stands a plastic tan playhouse.
with a blue roof and red shutters. Next to it is a yellow slide.
The three-day celebration opening the centerpiece of the $254 million expansion project at the National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows began with Arthur Ashe Kids' Day, continuing the legacy of Ashe and his focus on children and tennis. The festivities were completed with a dedication of the stadium, a musical performance by Whitney Houston and a gathering of many of the U.S. Open champions

Agassi: Will join
others to formally
open Arthur Ashe
S stadium.
John McEnroe, Chris Evert, Don Budge, Billie Jean King, Pete Sampras, Martina Navratilova, Andre Agassi and Tracy Austin will be joined by most of the living U.S. singles champions to open the stadium named for the tournament's 1968 winner.
The ceremonies capped the opening day of the two-week tournament.
"Arthur Ashe was the greatest ambassador our sport has known," said Harry Marmion, president of the U.S. Tennis Association.
Saturday night, actor Sidney Poitier served as master of ceremonies, as the Arthur Ashe Foundation with Aetna Inc. honored Rachel Robinson, widow of Jackie Robinson, by awarding her Aetna's Voice of Conscience: Breaking Barriers Award.
The award, given in memory of Ashe, honors individuals who, through their involvement in sports, have broken barriers or have helped others to do so. The award also recognizes individuals whose efforts on or off the field emulate Ashe's values in the areas of education, civil rights, health and human services.
Rachel Robinson received the award for her work with The Jackie Robinson Foundation, which provides inner-city youths with academic scholarships.
"It's just the biggest, nicest — most beautiful," Martina Hingis said of the new stadium. "Just everything is the greatest in America, you know."
As Mary Pierce, one of the world's top players, practiced on one court, another court featured a wheelchair tennis match, and a third had a speed gun set up to clock serves.
Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe and Camera Ashe, Arthur Ashe's widow and daughter, were joined at a ribbon-cutting ceremony by Marmion; Julia Levering, USTA first vice president; and former New York City mayor David Dinkins.
Missing was Rudolph Giuliani, the current mayor, who announced Friday that he will not attend tonight's ceremonies in protest of the USTA's contract with the city.
Giuliani said that the contract — signed by Dinkins just before he left office — could force the city to pay the USTA as much as $325,000 in fines if planes from nearby LaGuardia Airport fly over the stadium during the two-week tournament.
Marmion said that the USTA, because it is a private organization, has no standing with the federal government.
"All we ask is the borough president of Queens come with us to the FAA in the event there are significant flyovers," he said.
Marmion said the lease provisions would kick in only if there were flyovers for reasons other than safety.
"Planes fly over all the time when it's cloudy and the wind is the wrong way," Marmion said. "That doesn't count in this situation.
"Right now, the FAA says it is just as safe to fly a few degrees one way or the other to avoid the stadium during that two-week period," he said. "It's as simple as that."
After Saturday's ribbon-cutting ceremony, where the Shekinah Youth Mass Choir of Queens performed, the crowd entered the new stadium, where they watched a mixed doubles match between the Williams sisters — Venus and Serena — and the Jensen brothers — Luke and Murphy. The match was umpired by comedian Bill Cosby, who then played host to a tennis and entertainment extravaganza that included Hingis and Agassi.
Unbeaten boxer seeks to claim another title
Felix Trinidad wants to fight at super-welterweight level
'NEW YORK — Felix Trinidad wants a Terry Norris fight, and Madison Square Garden wants to host an Evander Holyfield match.
The Associated Press
Neither is a sure thing.
Trinidad, the unbeaten International Boxing Federation welterweight champion, moved up
to the super welterweight division with a first-round knockout of Troy Waters in the Garden Saturday night. That left Trinidad in line for a shot at Norris' super welterweight title.
"Trinidad is now the mandatory challenger," promoter Don King said. "The only thing Norris can do is give up the title (if he refuses to fight Trinidad)."
King: Says Felix Trinidad must fight Terry Norris.
That's what Norris might do. He has split with King and manager Joe Sayatovich and is suing them.
King also said a heavyweight title fight between WBA champion Evander Holyfield and IBF champion Michael Moorer is set for Nov. 8.
"We're doing our best," said Paul Munich, a Garden vice president, of the arena's attempt to land the fight. "We're giving it our best shot."
"We are considering sites," King said. "I am talking to the Georgia Dome (in Atlanta) and the people at Coca-Cola, the Hilton in Las Vegas and Steve Wynn at the Mirage in Las Vegas. The deal should be completed very soon."
Trinidad overwhelmed 32-year-old Waters of Australia, knocking him down twice and winning at 2:50 of the first round.
"Now I'm looking for a fight with Terry Norris to be the 154-pound champion and No.1 in the world," said Trinidad, who weighed 153 pounds.
Trinidad was supposed to challenge Norris on June 27, but Norris pulled out. Then he was supposed to challenge Laurent Boudouani Saturday night, but the Frenchman suffered an injury to his Achilles tendon.
King then managed to make Trinidad-Waters a WBC super welterweight title elimination match, with the winner to get Norris.

Stray golf balls invade stadium
(USPS 650-640)
Police investigating practice interruptions
Mary Corcoran
Kansan staff writer
KU police are investigating why Memorial Stadium looked like a driving range instead of a football field last week
On Wednesday, three windows in the press box of the stadium were broken when members of Delta Tau Delta fraternity allegedly hit golf balls from the roof of their house toward the football field, said KU Police Set, Chris Keary.
The east side of the fraternity building,
at 1111 W. 11th St., faces the stadium.
The balls reportedly came from that direction, entered the stadium, broke windows, interrupted practice and almost hit a KU football player, police said.
KU police contacted the fraternity and the athletic department about the incident. A meeting will be scheduled between both parties, police said.
Athletic department officials voiced concerns about the safety of people in the stadium.
"It really disturbed us last week when a ball came sailing out of the stands and could have hit a player," said Darren Cook, director of facilities for the athletic department.
Cook said the stadium had a history of broken windows from drives coming from the direction of Delta Tau Delta.
"It's been an ongoing problem," he said. "Last week I found two balls in the field. Our main concern is that someone is going to get hurt. I don't think they realize the harm involved."
Cook said the problem existed before he came to the University of Kansas in 1981. During the years, the projectiles have ranged from water balloons to golf balls, he said.
"One time a person was walking through a press box hallway and a water
So far, Cook said, nobody has been injured by a flying object, but there have been close calls.
balloon came in, hit a window and shattered the glass. It missed him by just a few seconds." Cook said.
Delta Tau Delta representatives said they were still investigating whether any of their members had hit the balls toward the stadium.
"If we find out that it was one of our members, we will talk to the athletic director to figure out what they want to do," said Chris Perry, Delta Tau Delta treasurer and Overland Park senior.
Cook said he did not want to prosecute the fraternity because new students join each year and do not realize where the golf balls land.
"What I'd like to see is for Delta Tau Delta to pay for the damage," Cook said.

Recycling bins for plastic Coke bottles will pop up at KU
Storage space concerns University officials
By Matthew Friedrichs Kansan staff writer
Now that the initial Coke invasion is over, prepare for a wave of mutant green Sprite bottles.
Recycling bins made out of recycled plastic bottles have been ordered, said Tom Hutton, director of University Relations. The green bins look like a big Sprite bottle, he said.
One set of bins will hold plastic bottles, while another will be for glass and aluminum containers, Hutton said.
There is a Klinkenberg, University Director of Administration, said the bins could be delivered to the University as early as next week.
Issues yet to be resolved for beverage con-
"There is no space for storage for recycling materials right now," said Mike Richardson, director of facilities and operations.
The University has not yet decided how the materials will be handled, Klinkenberg said.
If KU administrators choose to sell used containers directly to recycling processors, KU must be able to store about 40,000 pounds, or a semi-trailer load of each material in order to be prepared for the recycling market, Silva said.
stored, or hauled, Silva said.
Of course, students must also correctly use the recycling bins.
"I'm very concerned with the litter issue," Richardson said.
"If we have a million and a half bottles sitting aroundit won't be long before we have a less than beautiful campus."
In addition to considering bin placements, the University must now adapt to a comprehensive recycling program.
Klinkenberg said bin placement also was a key issue. Bins and vending machines must be in compliance with fire codes.
"Recycling is far more complicated than putting a bin next to a machine," said Victoria Silva, environmental specialist in the department of Environment, Health and Safety at the University.
tainer recycling include transportation and storage of used containers and student usage.
Richardson said that recycling plastic bottles has been a problem on other campuses.

The University of Missouri, which also has an exclusive soft drink agreement with Coca Cola, has not faced recycling issues, said Phil Shocklee. assistant director for campus facilities at Missouri.
Used containers must either be
A beverage container ordinance in the city of Columbia requires a five cent deposit be paid on all beverage containers.
As a result, most containers on Missouri's campus are recycled, Shocklee said.
"We do not have, nor is there a need for a beverage can recycling program," Shocklee said.
But without deposit incentives, students in Lawrence just might pitch their empty beverage containers.
"If we have a million and a half bottles sitting around, it won't be long before we have a less than beautiful campus," Richardson said.

Coca-Cola leaves its mark: Plastic recycling inadequate
By Daniel Ethan Thompson
Environmental impact on campus questioned
Kansan staff writer
Tossing 85 cents into a Coke machine leaves two post-consumption choices for the bottle: take it to Wal-Mart or toss it in the trash.
Although Coca-Cola has agreed to give recycling bins to the University of Kansas, no one is sure whether they are willing to help start a recycling program for the bottles. KU environmentalists are sure, however, that the University will suffer both environmentally and economically by attempting to recycle the plastic bottles.
For now, there is no place on campus to recycle it.
"I thought aluminum was the cheapest thing around," said Matt Caldwell, Overland Park senior and KU Enviros president. He said the plastic bottles would
have to be shipped miles and there wasn't much of a market for them.
"I think it's really upsetting that the University allowed Coke to put all these plastic bottles on campus," Caldwell said. "No wonder they went through with it in the summer."
Kevin Yoder, Hutchinson senior, is also disappointed. Yoder was the Student Environmental Awareness Board chairman last year and wrote a resolution to counteract soft drink companies from switching vending machines from aluminum cans to bottles made of a type of plastic known as virgin "PETE" resin.
The resolution was passed but ignored after the administration agreed to the deal with Coca-Cola.
Yoder said there were several reasons to stick with the aluminum cans. Money that comes into the recycling program at KU is generated by the revenue of selling back aluminium cans.

History of faculty evaluation debate rooted in 1970's course guidebook
Faculty evaluations: Some people in the KU community want them to be released. Some people don't. It may be something for a group of lawyers to decide, anyway.
There is, however, a history to the issue. It goes back to the early 1970s, and it may shed some light on who wins, who loses, how faculty evaluation guides can be done, and why they failed in the past.
On August 26, 1971, a book called "Feedback: A Guide to K.U. Courses" was published for the first time. It contained data compiled from an extensive student survey regarding the overall performance of KU instructors.
The 99-question survey, distributed five different times before publishing to test for accuracy, asked students to grade their instructors on four different levels: Quality of instruction, student-teacher interaction, career and practical orientation of material and relevance and usefulness of class texts
The data was then compiled and published in "Feedback," which lasted nine years.
The response "Feedback" generated is difficult to gauge, and the book undoubtedly had its problems.
In early-70s editions of the "University Daily Kansan," the editorial writers and letters to the editor sharply criticized the program for being too costly. "Feedback" had a $30,000-aye price tag which was picked up entirely by Student Senate.
Also, some people doubted "Feedback's" validity because they saw a lack of instructor participation.
For example, no instructor was forced to distribute "Feedback" evaluation forms to students. Further, instructors could withhold the results from publication if they didn't like what they saw.
Even though instructor participation was voluntary, the first edition of "Feedback" was 86 pages long and covered almost 650 courses, about one-third of the total number of courses offered at KU at that time.
Scott Sullivan, this year's student body president, has made access to faculty evaluations one of his primary causes, but he is not looking to resurrect "Feedback."
He said he considered "feedback" to be fundamentally flawed because of the program's high price and voluntary nature.
"Feedback' really isn't like what we're proposing at all," Sullivan said. "We want to use the statistical data that's already gathered by the University. It would be much less expensive and much less labor-intensive."
In addition to its structural and financial problems, some people

Racial slur discovered on Wescoe bulletin board
A poster hanging in Wescoe Hall was defaced with a racial slur last week, KU Police Sgt. Chris Keary said.
The poster, promoting a conference on Black History Month, was hanging on a bulletin board in room 3032 when a person wrote on it, "Nigger lovers. die."
The poster was advertising a University of Kansas event that took place last February, the month designated nationally to recognize African-American history.
William Tuttle, KU professor of American studies, found the poster and notified the police. The graffiti appeared between 3:45 p.m. Thursday and 2:45 p.m. Friday, police said.
The police took the poster as evidence and will fingerprint it as part of the investigation. Keary said any students with information about the incident should contact the KU police at 864-5572.
KU student claims battery from Bleachers' employee
A KU student allegedly was battered at Bleachers' Sports Bar, 806 W. 24th St., at 1:30 a.m. Sunday when an employee reportedly shoved her, Lawrence police said.
The student claimed that the employee had called one of her friends a name. When she confronted the employee about the name calling, the employee reportedly called the student another name and shoved her forehead, police said.
The student then called the police and issued a report. The student did not wish to press charges against the employee.
According to the police, witnesses and the employee claim that the student and her friend were underage and got upset when the bar refused to serve them.
The employee said he asked the student and her friend to leave and then escorted them away when they refused, police said.
Former linebacker to face assault charges in court
The trial of former KU linebacker Michael Harris has been set for Nov. 15 in Douglas County Court.
Harris, a Lawrence senior who walked on to the football team this year but has since been cut from the roster, was arrested July 25 on assault charges. Police said he walked into the Jayhawk Bookstore, 1420 Crescent Road, and threatened another student with a .357-caliber revolver.
The student reportedly owed Harris $445 and Harris allegedly was trying to recover the debt, police said.
Witnesses said Harris grabbed the woman, yelled at her and asked her for his money. He then followed the student into the back of the bookstore, pulled the
weapon out of his pants and showed the gun to her, police said.
Harris was arrested three hours later near Snow Hall. Police found the weapon in his backpack at the time of his arrest.
Harris claimed he had left the gun in his backpack, which he had checked at the front of the bookstore.
Three fellowships awarded to University professors
Two KU professors on the Lawrence campus and one professor at the KU Medical Center received W.T. Kemper Fellowships for Teaching Excellence during surprise classroom visits yesterday.
Provost David Shulenburger informed students taking financial accounting in Budig Hall that their professor, Tim Shafet, was an award recipient.
"Do you have anything to say?" Shulen-burger asked.
"Take out your papers for a pop quiz," said Shaftel, a professor of business.
Akira Yamamoto, professor of anthropology and linguistics, accepted the other award given on the Lawrence campus.
Daniel Hinthorn, professor of medicine, received a Kemper Fellowship at the KU Medical Center.
A seven-member selection committee, made up of KU faculty, students, and a KU alumnus chose the Kemper fellows from nominations submitted by colleagues and students.
Seventeen professors have now received the awards financed by a $250,000 gift from the William T. Kemper foundation. The KU Endowment Association matched the gift.
Three more awards will be made at the medical center this week.

'Big Tobacco' to cough up $11.3 billion in agreement
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - The $11.3 billion settlement Florida reached with the tobacco industry yesterday includes some of the toughest prohibitions on advertising and marketing to children, yet gives the industry some breathing room not in the proposed national deal.
Some critics contend the state's landmark pact highlights the need for Congress to approve the $368 billion national pact so the federal government can regulate nicotine and set penalties for failing to clamp down on underage smoking.
Others, however, suggest Florida has shown individual states could earn more on their own than as part of a national deal, which would supersede Florida's deal if approved.
Gov. Lawton Chiles helped negotiate the 17-page agreement, which includes
"We wanted acknowledgment of the havoc they had caused in the past and some indication that would change in the future," Chiles said. "There is a debt long past due for big tobacco to pay."
provisions to protect children and reimburse the state for Medicaid money spent treating sick smokers.
The state had been seeking $12.3 billion based on claims the industry manufactured a defective product and deceived the public about smoking's dangers.
Florida will receive an initial payment of about $1 billion within one year and at least another $10.3 billion to be paid out for 25 years. The settlement will be enforced by Florida courts and does not need to be approved by state or federal lawmakers.
The state will spend most of the money on programs geared toward children and health issues.
White House examining Social Security options
WASHINGTON President Clinton's top advisers have quietly started laying the groundwork for major repairs to the nation's 62-year-old Social Security program.
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
Early preparations have included informal consultations with senior citizens' advocates and key lawmakers. The main tonic so far is
Clinton: Laying groundwork to repair Social Security
how to broach the sensitive subject with the American public and Congress.
"There's some work being done to review options," said a White House official who asked not to be identified.
On his vacation, Clinton took papers prepared by White House staff suggesting ways he could open a national dialogue.
Ideas include a series of presidential speeches across the country, or a bipartisan commission that would involve Republicans in public forums.
"The key recommendation that I carried into the White House is that we need to spend some time bringing the American people into this discussion," said John Rother of the American Association of Retired Persons, among those consulted by Clinton's staff.
The nation's pension plan is projected to start spending reserves in 2012 to keep ahead of more than 70 million baby boomer retirements expected about then.
By 2029 the reserves will be gone, and Social Security payroll taxes won't bring in enough each year to cover retirement checks.
DETROIT — Dow Corning Corp. offered Monday to pay more than 200,000 women up to $2.4 billion to settle claims that its silicone breast implants caused illnesses when they leaked.
Dow Corning offers to pay implantees $2.4 billion
But the Midland, Mich.-based Dow Corning would not admit that breast implants cause disease, but said it was making the offer to agree to disagree with the women.
"We still believe very strongly that the scientific evidence shows there's no connection between breast implants and medical conditions, although we do know there are local complications and that implants can occasionally rupture," said Dow Corning chief executive Richard Hazleton.
The $2.4 billion offer is part of Dow Corning's attempt to get out of bankruptcy court, where it has been trying to settle implant claims. The plan requires the approval of a bankruptcy court and a two-thirds majority of women suing the company.
The Dow Corning plan marks an increase from the company's original $2 billion settlement offer that was part of a $4.2 billion global settlement offer made by several breast implant makers.
That plan fell apart because an unexpectedly high 440,000 women sought payments. The offer comes days after Dow Chemical, which owns half of Dow Corning, lost a key negligence case in Louisiana over implants.
Jama Russano, who has had an implant for 26 years, said the $200,000 payment she could receive wouldn't cover her nearly $300,000 in medical bills.
"I felt almost insulted, I felt like this is such a tragedy," said Mrs. Russano, 40, of Northport in Suffolk County, N.Y. "Many women will bear the burden of Dow's mistake."

TB cases not to be ignored
Testing, medicine free for students at health center
By Sarah Chadwick Kansan staff writer
Each year, more than 50 KU students test positive for tuberculosis, a chronic infection usually of the lungs, that causes fever, weight loss, chest pain and heavy cough.
TB is an airborne bacteria transmitted through coughing or sneezing.
Because of an outdated vaccine, given mostly to international students, only one or two of the 50 patients are actually contagious.
The majority of KU students who test positive are international students or students who have spent time abroad and received BCG, a vaccination given overseas to prevent TB, said Raylene Gerken, a registered nurse at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
The United States does not use BCG vaccinations.
The vaccination has been used under the theory that its effects would last many years, when in fact, they do not. New studies have shown the BCG vaccination to be less effective than previously thought.
Patients vaccinated with BCG have dormant TB pathogens in their systems. Although these patients may test positive for TB,
they are not in danger of spreading the bacteria.
"Once a person tests positive, it will always test positive," Gerken said. "If a student gets a positive skin test, they then need to get a chest x-ray yearly, instead of a skin test to make sure that the bacteria is still dormant."
Gerken recommended that international students get checked because of possible exposure to different bacteria. But, she said, all domestic students do not need to be tested.
Any student in a medical, nursing, occupational therapy, human development or educational course that includes working with patients or children must have a yearly TB test.
The procedure for testing is simple. Gerken said.
No appointment is necessary for the procedure. The clinic at Watkins is open from noon to 5 p.m. daily. The immunization nurse performs the skin test by pricking a patient on the arm with a derivative of tuberculosis.
The patient must come back 48 to 72 hours later for a nurse to determine the test results. If the test is positive, a chest X-ray will be administered that day.
"If you are walking around with the active disease and you cough, you're exposing the people sitting next to you," Gerken said. "Tuberculosis lasts 20 minutes in the air. That's quite a long time when you're with someone that's contagious."
To prevent the re-development of TB later in life, an antibiotic called isoniazid (INH), should be
"If you are walking around with the active disease and you cough, you're exposing the people sitting next to you."
Raylene Gerken Watkins R.N.
taken for six months after testing positive.
"After the chest X-ray, if it is negative, you take INH to get rid of the dormant cultures," Gerken said. "If you take INH for the recommended 6 months, you don't need to take another skin test, X-ray or any medication again. Anybody who's been exposed to tuberculosis should take INH."
Because the state of Kansas supplies the medicine, Watkins does not charge patients for it. The first chest X-ray is free. If a follow-up X-ray is needed, the charge is $55.
One of the side-effects of the medicine is possible inflammation of the liver because the liver sometimes does not metabolize the medicine. This is monitored by four blood tests in a six month period. These blood tests are also free at Watkins.
Other medicinal side-effects may be abdominal pain, nausea, and fatigue.
"You have to be careful not to drink a lot of alcohol while on it," Gerken said. "If you do, you can't tell if the liver problems were caused by the medicine or alcohol."
Hall renovations planned to add more space for modern students
Templin Hall changes only the beginning of housing alterations
By Sarah McWilliams Kansan staff writer
Thirty years ago, college students in campus housing needed a bed, a desk and a communal bathroom. Many of today's students, however, are looking for more than that.
"It's just a nicer place to live without having to go to an apartment, which I really didn't want to do." Reid said.
Emily Reid, Lenexa senior, is one of those students. She decided to move into newly-renovated Templin Hall to cash in on its extra space and privacy.
Templin was only the beginning of a plan by the department of student housing to renovate the Daisy Hill residence halls and Oliver Hall for today's students.
One by one, the residence halls will go under the knife as construction crews build rooms with more
space, more privacy and, perhaps most important, more bathrooms.
Kenneth Stoner, director of the department of student housing, said that Lewis Hall, near Templin, was the next hall slated for renovation at a projected cost of $5.2 million. If all goes as planned, the department will shut down the hall after the spring 1998 semester, and will reopen in fall of 1999, he said. The new layout will be similar to Templin.
After Lewis, the department plans to renovate Hashinger Hall in 1999 and Ellsworth Hall in 2000. The department has tentative plans
"It's just a nicer place to live without having to go to an apartment, which I really didn't want to do."
to renovate McCollum Hall and Oliver Hall, but no time frame has been determined yet.
All renovations call for more space and privacy for residents.
Emily Reid
Lenexa senior
Stephanie Sprague, McPherson freshman, shares her suite with Reid and two other roommates. She said having two rooms in which to study and a lobby on their floor were some of the best aspects of living in Templin.
"You can just close the door and it's really quiet." Sprague said.
Reid said she lived in Ellsworth her first year in school and did not like having minimal space and four showers for an entire wing of the building to share. She now shares a bathroom with only three other people.
Stoner said 30 years ago, baby boomers hit college age and flooded campuses across the country. As a result, residence halls were designed to hold hundreds of people and to be built as quickly as possible.
While the halls were easy to build and could house hundreds of students each, they were built with little foresight into students' needs, Stoner said.

Medical Center's hospital needs less bureaucracy for survival
Many KU medical students call the University's medical center hospital their second home. It serves not only as a health care facility but also as an intensive hands-on training ground for students hoping to become doctors, nurses and other medical professionals.
However, this center for education and medical care is currently fearing a downward spiral under the jurisdiction of the Board of Regents. The administrative hierarchy—KU officials report to the Board which then reports to the legislature and Governor Bill Graves—has raised concerns about the effects bureaucratic red tape has upon the hospital's competitive edge in the health care community.
In a period of a rapidly changing and increasingly competitive health care market, university hospitals nationwide have felt the burdens of cost-cutting and competition. The KU hospital is no exception. Recently, the bureaucracy has hindered the hospital's ability to react quickly to shifts in the health care industry increasingly influenced by managed care plans resulting in declining in-patient utilization.
Under the current legislative budget process it takes an average of two years to make significant and often necessary changes within the hospital. In addition, although the hospital operates in a free market, it does not have the flexibility other private or non-profit Kansas City hospitals do in dealing with wages, personnel, purchasing, program decisions and construction projects. Legislative restrictions insisting the hospital sign no long-term contracts or issue bonds prevent, among other things, the development of special clinics and increases in market share.
On their own
The state legislature allocates 80 million dollars annually to the KU Medical Center but none of these funds are available to the hospital. The medical center budget increases in accordance with state employee pay raises while the hospital itself is responsible for generating additional revenues to comply with salary edicts from the state. The hospital's 140 million dollar budget is generated solely by Medicare provided patients, a rarity among the nation's university hospitals. With a 74 million dollar payroll making it the largest employer in Wyandotte County and 22 million dollars in expenses toward indigent care for patients without insurance or other financial means, the hospital is challenged in the face of a legislative budget system restraining it from moving ahead in the health care market. For example, one department within the hospital maintains a budget with 8,000 line items leading to frequent supply problems. In addition, the drop in patient care hospital revenue limits education and research subsidies.
Time for change
Earlier this year, a Washington based consulting group hired by the state outlined the need for change within the governing structure of the hospital. By the insistence of Donald Hagen, executive vice chancellor of the Medical Center, Chancellor Robert Menenway, with permission from the Board of Regents, crafted a bill proposing the elimination of the Board and legislature's jurisdiction over the hospital. The proposal, similar to those proven successful in university hospitals in Colorado and Arizona, calls for a 16-member public governing board to obtain management and decision-making control of the hospital. The public authority would consist of community leaders with expertise in business and legal affairs, the chancellor, regents, legislators, governor's appointees and KU administrators. All 3,000 hospital personnel would be
offered positions with the new authority and the hospital would remain a state-affiliated organization and continue to operate in sync with the medical center. The bill also requests the legislature and authority to establish a formula for financing hospital education programs and indigenic care.
The end result
The elimination of red tape would immediately provide the hospital with more flexibility while retaining governmental immunity and funding. With the administration of the public authority, it would become easier to raise capital and streamline purchasing procedures resulting in equipment upgrades and improved billing. The hospital would be in a better position to form partnerships with other health care providers and medical care organizations. Aside from increasing overall net income, the implementation of the proposal also promises to increase impatient admissions and outpatient visits, expand cash reserves, improve employee morale, increase market share, generate money for investment in clinical programs and almost double research grants and contracts.
Graves supported the bill and the Senate approved it 40-0. The House passed an amended version 102-20 but they failed to reach a compromise with the Senate this year. Debate centered around the number and types of people to serve on the governing board and an amendment banning abortion in the hospital. For now, KU officials hope to gain passage of a similar bill in 1998.
Hemenway, faced with ensuring the survival of the hospital, admits that reform seems to be sweeping the nation's academic and medical centers' governance structures. The University's 91-year old hospital and its medical students and professionals alike would greatly benefit from similar reform.

Veteran of campus life longs for days of old
Another year, another book of coupons. After seven Hawk Weeks, the thrill is gone.
Hawk Week once featured the traditional
rites of passage for most new Jayhawks: your first roommate, your first waving of the wheat, your first hangover, etc. Now, thanks to rampant commercialization, students can score their first cellular phones, credit cards and J Crew catalogs.

in debt, and deathly bored with my House Party movie poster (never mind that it throws off my bedroom's color scheme something awful). Just a warning for anyone eyeing that Pulp Fiction poster.
Lately I've been yearning for my days as a young KU student during the idyllic early 1990s. Ah, that halcyon time, the early 90s.
You could enjoy a Pepsi or even a Diet Rite without fear of losing corporate sponsorship. Instead, you'd only lose a tooth. All this flap about unhealthy carbonated beverages, and not one mention of our chlordane-tainted local water supply.
Financially strapped student organizations (that is, 99 percent of all student organizations) had free access to the "On Campus" events calendar in the "Kansan." To hear the editor explain it, this new policy ensures the quality of listings. (In other words, one must pay for fair treatment.) Never mind that our student fees already help cover the paper's printing costs. Whose fault is it that those full-page phone company ads restrict the space available for student groups?
Candidates for student government managed to keep their indiscretions under wraps until after the election. Oh, the stories I could tell to the new students unaware of any wrongdoing on the part of their elected representatives.
Fols smoked inside Wescoe Hall, drank beer on the Hill at football games, and spent hours in line enrolling inside the sauna called Strong Hall ... I guess some things never change.
What brought about my latest bout of nostal
gia? Blame VH-1 and its relentless marathons of retro-gramming. They have inflicted us with episodes of "The Monkees," a day of "Grease," and even an "Elvis Pop-Up Video." I suppose VH-1 could sponsor more inane marathons, such as "Sewing With Nancy" or "The Torkelsons." Speaking of which, accidentally caught an episode of "The Torkelsons" on the Disney channel that featured Patty Duke as a guest star. And not a week before I'd been admiring her star turn as Neele O'Hara in "Valley of the Dolls." How the mighty have fallen.
Anyway, this time around VH-1 aired "Eight Days of 80s." Whip it good, indeed.
Sometimes I fell for it. For instance, listening to Joan Jett and Billy Squier brought to mind those far-off and tempestuous days of my unruly childhood. If you're thinking of the movie "Kids," with foul-mouthed pre-teens indulging in illegal drugs and casual sex, forget it. Think "Xanadu," the rock musical with Olivia Newton-John as a Greek muse on roller skates.
The local roller rink stayed open until midnight on Saturdays, and I showed up each weekend with wheels on. We yelled along to "I Love Rock N'Roll" and made rude gestures during "The Stroke." After getting knocked down early during a game of "War," I'd play air hockey, Ms. Pac-man, or Tron. This was one rough-and-tumble roller rink for a 10-year old like myself. Come over sometime and I'll show you the scars.
Courtess of VH-1, I relived those memories. Unfortunately, for each transcendent moment when VH-1 struck a chord, along came some over-played rubbish such as "Tainted Love" or an AM-radio anthem like "Kyrie." Then, during each commercial break, were a slew of commercials for 80s compilations. This "nostalgia for sale" attitude on VH-1 cheapened the precious uniqueness of my memories, reducing my childhood into three easy monthly installments.
Both VH-1 and Hawk Week demonstrate to me that modern living seems to be less about profoundly experiencing life first-hand and more about buying into a fad fabricated by corporations.
That's the one good thing about those omnipresent coupon books: everything may have its price, but it has its discount as well.

like to call it, a hunting license, you have to sign a paper promising to spend a whole week as the parking director's personal cabana boy.
The University has taught me other valuable lessons. For example, our (and by our I mean Chancellor Robert Hemenway and the athletic department's) new Coca-Cola deal shows me that everyone has their price. Not only does everyone have their price, but their are many people out their willing to pay that price.
Now I don't want to suggest that being a cabana boy is bad, but to be quite honest, I wonder how many Mai Tais the director can down himself.
Now, buying off a respected University is obviously very expensive. I usually would have mistaken this for a serious research institution, until I noticed the Nike swoosh on my student ID.
But the University is too pricey for your average business. They'll need to look for someone with less prestige or pride on which to display their logos. With this in mind I'd like to make the following announcement to businesses of all kind: I am for sale.
There are tremendous applications for morals like that, especially when you consider that there's plenty time for counting when the dealing is done.
But despite the ease with which I'm selling out, I want to assuage everyone's fears that I'm a calious man without morals. I'm sure many alert readers don't need to be told that Hitler funded his Nazi war machine by signing an exclusivity contract with Coke. But I assure you that I've got bales of morals. I've got morals left and right, such as "You shouldn't count your chickens while you're sitting at the table" or "A penny saved is absolutely worthless unless you get those damned penny rolls" and "Watched pot never gets harvested."
Let's say you're a food chain looking for some extra publicity. Furthermore, let's say that you have a few crates of E-Z Cheez you're looking to get rid of. We talk deal and next thing you know your company will find its name placed in an influential joke about heavily medicated squirrels in my next column. With product placement like that, you'll probably need to lock the doors to keep the sudden massing throng of crazed shoppers from overworking your staff. This deal is, of course, open to record stores, clothing shops (I'm a 68 waist 26 inseam), Pricilla's, etc.
This is just the tip of the exploitation iceberg. We could be looking at a column by yours truly on Final Fantasy VII if the Playstation people want to kick something in.'

An invitation to Student Senate
On behalf of the KU Student Senate, I would like to welcome everyone back to campus. In the next few weeks, you will likely be bombarded by representatives from a multitude of student organizations on campus in an attempt to recruit your membership. Although these organizations are worthwhile and deserve your attention, I would like to urge you to get involved with Senate. In case you are not aware or have been misled by negative comments about the
organization, Senate serves a valuable purpose.
First, the Senate acts as the primary legislative voice for students at the University. Also, Senate allocates $1.7 million from your student activity fee. These responsibilities are heavy, and we need all students to stand up, speak out, and make a difference.
If this sounds appealing to you, Senate committee applications are available in the Student Senate office at 410 Kansas Union. Also, senators will have an information table this week on Wescroe Beach from 10:30 am until 1:30 pm. Please feel free to stop by, pick
up an application, and ask questions of your elected representatives. Although you do have to fill out an application, I can assure you that Senate has a place for every student who would like to get involved.
We are putting together an e-mail list for anyone who would like information regarding meeting times and agenda items. If you want on the list, e-mail me at walden@ukans.edu
Please take advantage of your opportunity to make a difference at KU.

Lawrence residents, Kathy and Steven Bruner have led a community and University of Kansas effort in the production of a film about the founding years of Lawrence.
"Lawrence: Freestate Fortress" had debuted on Aug. 17 at the Union Pacific Depot Lawrence Visitor Center, across from the Kansas river.
"The film covers a 10-year period beginning with the first settlers and ending with Quarrill's Raid," said Joseph Anderson, executive producer and film professor at KU. "It takes us through the transformation of Kansas as a territory to a state."
On Aug. 20, 1863, William Clark Quantrill and his men stormed through Lawrence, burning the town and killing nearly 200 men. Women and children were spared but left with nothing.
The Bruners conceived of the project after watching films made by other communities. When the Bruners go on vacation, they try to watch an informative film about their destination and its history. They realized Lawrence lacked a film.
"It gives you a sense of the community," Kathy Bruner said. "We thought that Lawrence needed that."
The Bruners, who began collecting information about Lawrence's founding in 1995, discovered the city's rich history while on a historical tour a few years ago. They thought visitors and the community should learn about the city's history and the best way to provide that history would be through a film, Steven Bruner said.
The film is largely based on "Free State Fortress" by Allen Crafton, a former KU professor of theater, and the "Letters of Edward and Sarah Fitch," who were Lawrence residents of the time. Bruner wrote the story and Gunter and Karen Dillon, Lawrence graduate student, adapted it into a screenplay.
Without the means to create the film, Steven Bruner asked the KU department of film and theater to produce it.
"He was the one who conceived of doing this and got the community involved." Joseph Anderson, theater and film professor said.
Bruner sought donations from area businesses and Lawrence patrons to raise the approximately $35,000 required to produce the film.
KU students enrolled in Anderson's advanced film production class served as a big part of the crew, cast,
writers and editors. Civil War re-enactors, mostly from the Midwest, also filled cast roles along with others from the community.
"It became a marriage between local community interest and a University class," said Mike Gunter, producer of the film and graduate student. "It was a great opportunity for our students."
Filming began in March of 1996 and was completed that May. Students in the advanced film production course served as the main film crew.
"We had theater students in front of the cameras and film students behind the cameras," Gunter said.
Some of the filming sites included Mine Creek Battlefield in Pleasanton, Cowtown in Wichita and Missouri Town 1855, near Lee's Summit, Mo.
"Lawrence: Freestate Fortress" plays at the Lawrence Visitor Center on request and every hour on the hour each Saturday and Sunday.
Disabilities services
Services for Students with Disabilities, 22 Strong Hall, formerly was part of the Student Assistance Center. The office offers support and accommodations for students with:
■ Visual Impairment
■ Hearing Impairment
■ Learning Disabilities
■ Attention Deficit Disorder
■ Acquired Brain Injury
■ Physical/Health Disabilities
Assistance center replacement looking for home
By Ryan Koerner
Kansan staff writer
Students with disabilities soon will be knocking on a different door for support.
That is, as soon as Services for Students with Disabilities, formerly part of the Student Assistance Center, has an office — and a door.
Under the reorganization of the Division or Student Life that began during the summer, the Student Assistance Center was renamed the Student Development Center. The reorganization also created Services for Students with Disabilities.
Until space is found to house the SSD office, the two newly-defined offices must continue to operate under one roof in 22 Strong Hall.
"We very definitely want the office to remain in Strong Hall," said Lorna Zimmer, SSD director. "It seems appropriate for SSD to stay in the central administration building. It is important for us to be well-connected with the office of admissions, for example, to fully aid students."
"We are still trying identify the most accessible space," said associate dean of students Barbara Ballard, who oversees both offices. "Until the right space-4s identified, SSD will remain where they are."
Although the new department does not have a separate space, the administrative changes have already taken effect. Staff members' titles and responsibilities have changed, for example.
The Etc. Shop 928 Mass.Downtown
"At this point no changes that directly affect students have taken place." Zimmer said. "Students won't actually see a difference until we move to our new location. All the same services are offered and they still come to the same place for assistance."
The SSD will offer the same services as those previously offered by the SAC: support for the visually, hearing and dexterity impaired, students who use wheelchairs and students with learning disabilities. More than 400 students with disabilities have registered with the Student Development Center so far this semester.

Common sense, good hygiene prevent food poisoning
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Alfalfa sprouts contaminated by E. coli. Hepatitis-tainted strawberries in school lunches. Children sick from unpasteurized apple juice, and 140 people struck by bacteria-laden raw oysters.
The recall of 25 million pounds of hamburger is merely the latest scare about dangerous germs contaminating Americans' food. Keeping hamburger safe mostly takes common sense — cook meat thoroughly. But consumer advocates say a larger threat may come from germs lurking in unexpected places
— that slip through the government's patchwork of safety rules.
"Almost monthly we are seeing new causes for concern based on food problems," said Caroline
Smith DeWaal of the advocacy group Center for Science in the Public Interest. "We don't have a government system to fix those problems."
But the government and food makers are preparing to fight back. The Food and Drug Administration is considering putting warning labels on unpasteurized apple juices and ciders — perhaps as early as this week — after dozens of children were sickened by E. coli that got into one trendy brand. Pasteurization kills potentially deadly E. coli bacteria.
Scientists are investigating whether irradiating beef, exposing it to radiation, could kill E. coli and other disease-causing micro-organisms, and whether irradiating fresh berries would kill cyclospora, a parasite that sickened about 1,400
Americans who ate Guatemalan raspberries this spring.
Manufacturers are beginning to advertise to consumers when they adopt a safety program called HAACP — an ungainly acronym that means companies check for contamination repeatedly as ingredients move from harvest to grocery store.
The latest scare comes after 16 Colorado residents got E. coli from hamburgers processed by Hudson Foods Inc. The Agriculture Department says an outside slaughterhouse likely was the source, but Hudson recalled a massive 25 million pounds of hamburger after investigators discovered the company used leftover raw meat from one day in the next day's production, potentially causing a chain of contamination.
"Almost monthly we are seeing new causes for concern based on food problems."
Caroline Smith DeWaal public health advocate
Although the U.S. food supply is considered the world's safest, about 9,000 Americans still die every year from food poisoning. A New Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study says between 6 million and 80 million Americans are sickened each year — a good count isn't possible because many mild cases go unreported.
The easiest protection is good hygiene, says FDA food safety chief Janice Oliver. She's amazed by people who admit they had no idea fruits and vegetables should be washed before eating.
The new CDC study says the biggest food poisoner — a bug called campylobacterium that lurks in unpasteurized milk and raw poultry — particularly strikes young men with poor food preparation skills. In other words, they don't wash their hands between putting raw poultry on the grill and setting the table.
Yet thorough cooking and cleaning only help so much. The Clinton administration has asked Congress for $43 million to begin, in October, hiring more government food
inspectors and researching better poisoning prevention.
Produce growers already are searching for more hygienic ways to grow everything from lettuce to alfalfa sprouts, both of which have sickened Americans with E. coli. To prevent another outbreak, officials need to know if something as simple as using manure as fertilizer — common among organic growers — was to blame.
But some foods may simply be too hazardous to allow in this country, said consumer advocate De Waal. She points to frozen strawberries that gave about 150 Michigan schoolchildren hepatitis A last spring. They were secretly imported from Mexico, where investigators are probing whether they were irrigated with dirty water.
Army official may stand trial on charges of sexual misconduct, including rape
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The six women who brought sexual misconduct allegations against the Army's top enlisted man were described yesterday by prosecutors as heroes and attacked by the defense as opportunists.
"Don't let them down," lead prosecutor Lt. Col. Michael Child said of the women, as he urged that Sgt. Maj. of the Army Gene McKinney be ordered to stand trial.
But defense lawyer Lt. Col James Gerstenlauer said McKinney was an outstanding soldier who has served the country proudly and was confronted by baseless allegations.
Charles Gittins, McKinney's civilian defense lawyer, said his client didn't get to be the Army's top enlisted man by acting inappropriately.
Gittins said.
"To become sergeant major of the Army he had to undergo an extensive background check."
To Child, McKinney was a manipulative man using his powerful position to prey on vulnerable women.
The Fort McNair hearing ended with both sides summing up their cases. Now a hearing officer must consider whether McKinney should be court-martialed or returned to his Pentagon post.
Col. Robert Jarvis, the presiding officer, has 15 days to make his recommendation.
But given the length of the hearing, which began two months ago and included testimony from more than 30 witnesses. Jarvis could get an extension. The transcript runs thousands of pages.
Jarvis's recommendation would go to Col. Owen Powell, the next senior officer in the chain of command.
would be made by Maj. Gen Robert F. Foley, commander of the Military District of Washington.
The final decision on whether the case should go forward
Jarvis also can recommend revising the charges, and Child urged him to add rane to the list.
The first of the women to testify against McKinney, Sgt. Christine Roy, said she reluctantly had sex with McKinney when she was nearly eight months pregnant. The prosecutor said that incident amounted to rape.
Gerstenlauer said the recommendation by Child was offensive. He said there was no credible evidence to corroborate the charges by Sgt. Roy.
McKinney is the first black sergeant major of the Army.
If a court martial is ordered, Gittins has said he would file a motion saying McKinney was a victim of discrimination.
To support that claim he said he would offer evidence that
high-ranking white officers were allowed to quietly retire after doing the same things McKinney is accused of.
McKinney, who has served in the Army for nearly 30 years, has asked to be allowed to retire.
In their summations, the lawyers on both sides offered starkly different views of the accused and his accusers.
Child said the six women who came forward knew they would face harsh examination of their personal lives.
"They knew exactly what they had to expect if they came forward and they came forward anyway," he said. "They're heroes, they saw wrong and they were willing to report it."
"The government would have you believe women don't make false allegations." Gittins said.
"Baseless allegations like these, motivated by the basest of motives, only destroy discipline, breed timid supervisors and encourage contempt for the system," Gerstenlauer said.
Number of applicants for private colleges down
The Associated Press
ST. PAUL, Minn. — More affluent students are abandoning private colleges in favor of their cheaper, public counterparts, researchers said.
The big, brand-name schools such as Harvard and Princeton still pack in the well-to-do. But smaller, four-year private liberal arts schools are increasingly losing their full-paying customers to public universities, according to "The Student Aid Game," a book to be published in November.
"The idea was always that you would create these great institutions that would then be accessible to anybody who had the motivation and talent to go. That kind of fundamental promise of higher education is really being thrown into question." said co-author Michael McPherson, president of the private Macalester College in St. Paul.
McPherson and co-author Morton Schapiro found that about 38 percent of college freshmen from the richest families enrolled in public institutions in 1994, compared with 31 percent in 1980. The richest families were those making more than $200,000 a year.
For upper-middle income families — those who earned between $100,000 and $200,000 — freshman enrollment at public schools rose to 48 percent in 1994 from 42 percent in 1980, they found.
Consumers are making less of a distinction in the relative quality of public and private educations, partly because of the acceptance of well-publicized best-buy guides. McPherson said.
"Money" magazine's annual college ratings due out in September, for example, rank the University of Florida 80 notches above Dartmouth as a best buy.

Former prisoner now free to help battered women
System's failings motivate her to take action
The Associated Press
DENVER — Every morning for five years, Kerry Wintrop would look out across the ocean from a beautiful house in Half Moon Bay, Calif., before getting the children ready for school.
But they weren't her children. It wasn't her house. And Winthrop wasn't her name.
The woman who called herself Kerry Winthrop had left her name behind in Colorado, where she also had skipped out on a prison sentence.
Since 1980, she had called herself Winthrop, living a straight-as-an arrow life — most recently as a nanny — and dying to go back to her own four children. But she knew she couldn't go back.
It was the winter of 1971 in St.
Louis and 19-year-old Karlene
Keyes was in love. The trouble was,
she was in love with a black man.
"My father said, 'If you go with this guy, you are no longer my daughter. You are out of this house. You are not mine.' Keyes recalled. "But I really loved him and I thought he was the one."
She married the man and moved to Colorado. Eventually, her husband started slapping her around. She claims her husband, whom she declined to identify, could never find work — even after she became pregnant.
"He would come home and yell that there was no money, there was no groceries in the house. 'Go and get some groceries in the house.' And I'd tell him we have no money," Keves said.
He insisted she write checks though there was no money in the account; she claims he would tell her that her paycheck would cover the checks but then he would take her money.
Keyes was pregnant again when she was arrested in 1974 for check fraud. Prisons would not take pregnant women then and she was to report to the penitentiary five days after her child was born.
Keyes said her husband refused to let her report. Abuse continued. "By that time — I have a half-moon scar on my forehead, that took 18 stitches — that was, um, a belt buckle," Keyes said.
She said she wanted to leave, but there was nowhere for her to go. There were few battered women's shelters and Keyes said she could not go back to her family. Police were little help.
"Seventeen years ago what they thought of domestic violence is a world away from what we think of it now," said Denver criminal defense attorney Larry Pozner. "Then it was, 'We're not going to arrest him. He'll just go back.'"
Keyes admits she wrote thousands of dollars in bad checks, but says the abuse was its root. She claims she was let out of the house only to write the checks. The husband was never charged in the check-writing scheme.
Keyes ended up in the state penitentiary in Canon City in 1976. Over the next four years, she was in and out of prison. When she was released, she returned to her husband and to writing bogus checks.
Keyes arrived at a Denver halfway house in 1980. She had been there a month when she heard rumors she was being sent back to Canon.
"I knew if I went back to Canon something very, very bad might happen. And if I walked away from the halfway house, my life would never, ever be right," she said, her usually strong voice cracking. "I wouldn't be able to fight for my children — I wouldn't even be able to see them.
"But I knew that if I went back (to Canon City) I might not ever be able to see them. So I walked away."
A family in a book she read on the way to California was named Winthrop, and she took the name. Kerry Winthrop arrived in San Francisco in 1980. In 1985 she became a nanny. She found a place
and a familv.
"Birthdays and Christmas and all of that were really hard," she said through tears. "I would just pray that somebody was looking out for the boys."
In 1990, she took a chance: She returned to St. Louis. By that time, she had mended her relationship with her family, and she contacted her sons, who were raised by their father. She quickly landed a job as a nanny for the son of two doctors.
Then, at 5:30 a.m. on March 8 of this year, the doorbell rang. Kerry Winthrop threw on some sweatpants and slippers and answered the door. An officer said her car had been vandalized — not surprising, since her neighbors had had the same problem a few days earlier.
When she walked out of her house, the St. Charles County sheriff appeared from behind a building and put her in handcuffs. Somebody close to her had given her up, she was told.
Keyes was wanted on a warrant 17 years old. She was back in the Colorado system by April. As she awaited extradition, "I thought, 'It can't be happening.' But it had."
But what seemed to be misfortune turned out to be good luck. She did not rot in prison; in fact, she was paroled in July. And while she sat in the Denver Reception and Diagnostic Center, waiting for her release, Keyes saw something she didn't like.
"They had alcohol groups for women, drug groups but none for battered women," she said. "I went to my parole officer and said. 'If I have to stay here, I want to do something worthwhile.'"
"She opened the doors by corresponding and developing an interest for a battered women's program," said Stephen Rodgers, who was Keyes' parole officer in the 1970s and is now a case manager at the DRDC.
Keyes also has begun writing a book, "Holding on to Kerry" is for all the women who may be suffering as she did, she says.
She is 45 and living alone in St. Louis and is becoming reacquainted with her sons, now ages 20 to 24.
Faculty evaluations not recent endeavor
Continued from page 1A
thought "Feedback" just wasn't helpful.
"I don't think it was that widely used," said Jon Josserand, governmental assistant to Chancellor Robert Hemenway, who was a KU student during the early 70's. "I don't think the information was all that useful. At least that's the impression I got."
Despite this, 2,000 of the 5,000 copies printed sold on the first day they were available in 1971. Other former KU students and current faculty remember the book as being a great help.
Russell Leffel, a student and graduate teaching assistant at the University between 1966 and 1973, said "Feedback" was something he carried around with him.
"Some teachers were fine people but maybe not the best classroom instructors," Leffel said. "What this helped you find were the best classroom instructors."
Leffel also said that "Feedback" helped him even more as a teacher. He competed with his colleagues to see who would get the best evaluations, he said.
"It was received well at the time
by both students and teachers because it was done in a constructive way to help everybody," Leffel said.
Jarak Piekalkiewicz, professor of political science and lecturer in the Western Civilization program, said he used "Feedback" to help him become a more effective teacher.
"I think it really put pressure on the teachers to become better," Piekalkiewicz said.
Faculty evaluation guides did emerge again in the mid-80's, but their budgets and content did not come close to that of the "Feedback" program. The 1987 equivalent of "Feedback," called "Course Source," contained information on about 30 classes and was funded mostly by advertising.
Helpful to some, useless to others,
"Feedback" eventually became too much of a financial burden to be ambiguously effective.
The "Feedback" experiment of the 70's leaves the University of Kansas with the question not of whether a faculty evaluation guide can be done, but whether it can be done effectively and efficiently.
By 1979, "Feedback" was no more.
Plastic bottles create recycling roadblocks
Continued from page 1A
Additionally, unrecycled plastic bottles increase the waste stream and will cost the University more money to remove the trash. The virgin plastic also requires tremendous amounts of petroleum to manufacture. This plastic can't be recycled into plastic of the same grade.
But the benefits and faults of beverage containers are widely different depending on whom you talk to, said Victoria Silvia, environmental specialist for environmental health and safety at the University.
"Every plastic bottle is a new plastic bottle." Yoder said.
"The plastic people think it's absolutely wonderful packaging," she said. "But when they dropped all the virgin resin bottles into the market, they killed the incentive to use bottles containing recycled plastic."
"Plastic has its place," he said, "but if there's a better material for the same use, then we should use it."
Caldwell said Silva warned him last year that many college campuses had agreed to soft drink contracts only to find themselves inundated with plastic bottles.

Mir evacuation may be only option
Systems failure creates oxygen scare on station
The Associated Press
The three men aboard Russia's run-down Mir space station were left without any way to generate oxygen yesterday after both their primary and backup systems failed, at least temporarily.
U. S. and Russian space officials said they wouldn't know whether the two Russian cosmonauts and one American astronaut on board were able to fix either of the oxygen-producing devices until the next scheduled communication with the station this morning.
Nevertheless, one NASA official called it a potentially serious problem — one that could force an evacuation.
"It could be that tomorrow it could be no problem, or it could
be a fairly significant problem," said NASA spokesman Ed Campion. "If you can't get either of the two systems back up, then you're facing a serious situation."
At the time of the cosmonauts' last communication yesterday with Russia's Mission Control outside Moscow, they were struggling to fix the secondary solid fuel-burning system.
The primary Elektron generator, which had been turned off since last week to conserve power, had shut itself down yesterday after it began overheating, Campion said.
"Before they went to bed, they may have gotten things fixed," Campion said. "We just don't know."
In Russia, calls to Mission Control for comment around midnight Moscow time went unanswered after NASA disclosed the problem. But CNN reported that an unidentified official, while acknowledging the problem, played down its seriousness.
broken, Mir has enough oxygen to last several days, Campion said from the Johnson Space Center in Houston.
Even if both systems remain
What's more, NASA astronaut Michael Foale and his two Russian crewmates could stretch their air supply by using oxygen tanks set aside for upcoming spacewalks. NASA officials said they did not know how much oxygen those tanks hold.
If neither oxygen-producing system can be restarted during the next several days, Foale and his two Russian crewmates would have to abandon ship in the attached Soyuz capsule.
There have been repeated problems with the new Elektron generator, carried up by space shuttle Atlantis in May. But this is the first time since February that a crew has had serious trouble with the backup system, in which solid-fuel canisters are ignited to produce oxygen.
One of these canisters burst into flames in February, filling the station with smoke and almost causing the crew to evacuate.
The cosmonauts were trying to ignite a canister, or candle, yesterday when the system failed. They replaced the igniter mechanism but the canister still would not burn.
"This may be nothing more complicated than putting a new candle into the mechanism and they're back in business," said NASA spokesman Rob Navias.
There was a bit of good news yesterday aboard Mir.
Commander Anatoly Solovoy reported that power was flowing through the makeshift hatch that he and Pavel Vinogradov installed during an internal spacewalk Friday to restore power.
Indeed, Russian flight controllers verified that an additional 40 amps of electricity were flowing into the station. But commands sent to move three of the four solar panels mounted on the outside of the ruptured lab module were unsuccessful.
Until Monday, the station had been flying at half-power as a result of the June 25 collision with an unmanned cargo ship.
Until 1976, Sweden forced sterilization
Swedish paper brings attention to painful past
The Associated Press
STOCKHOLM, Sweden — They were found to be "inferior," flawed by bad eyesight, mental retardation or "undesirable" racial characteristics. To prevent this genetic heritage from being passed on, they were sterilized — sometimes involuntarily.
Sweden had as many as 60,000 of its own citizens sterilized between 1935 and 1976. Adults and children were singled out by doctors, school authorities or other officials and were pressured to consent to the procedures.
This sterilization program bore chilling similarities to Nazi ideas
of racial superiority — and media reports on it now are provoking sober self-examination.
The program stemmed from a pursuit of eugenics, a once-popular movement to improve humanity by controlling genetic factors in reproduction.
Though Sweden's sterilization program was a matter of record, it received little public attention, ignored in schoolbooks and hardly mentioned in reference works. A recent series by the prestigious newspaper "Dagens Nyheter", however, has stirred national debate.
Especially shocking to many Swedes is the fact that the law allowing the sterilizations wasn't overturned until 1976, three decades after the Nazis' human engineering policies collapsed in the rubble of the Third Reich.
The sterilizations targeted a wide range of people: those of mixed race; unmarried mothers with several children; people judged to be habitual criminals; even a boy considered "sexually precocious."
"Grounds for recommending sterilization: unmistakable Gypsy features, psychopathy, vagabond life," reads one document cited by Dagens Nyheter.
Maria Nordin, 72, told the newspaper she had been sterilized in 1943 because she was regarded as inferior.
"One day, the (school) superintendent said I should come into his room to sign some papers. I understood what this was about so I ran into a toilet and sat there and cried for a long time for myself," she said.
Sweden, with its well-developed welfare state and long-standing progressive stances on social issues, is not accustomed to being on the defensive on ethical issues.
"This is a frightening picture that now is being shown to the Swedish people," Alf Svensson, chairman of the opposition Christian Democratic Party, said in a letter to Prime Minister Goeran Persson.
Social Minister Margot Wallstroem says she is considering whether to compensate people who were forcibly sterilized. That would require overturning current law that says the victims can't get compensation because the sterilizations were lawful when performed.
Nordin applied for compensation last year but her request was turned down by Wallstreet, who now says she feels ashamed over the matter.
"I will take up the matter for discussion with the government," the Cabinet minister said.
The Dagens Nyheter report has hit Swedes at a time when they were already examining some painful history from World War II. The government, under increasing international pressure, is looking into whether property looted by the Nazis from Jews in other countries ended up in Sweden.
German leaders found guilty of manslaughter
The Associated Press
BERLIN — The East German communist leader who threw open the Berlin Wall eight years ago was convicted of manslaughter yesterday for the shooting deaths of citizens who tried to flee to the West during the Cold War.
Egon Krenz remained defiant even as he was taken into custody to begin serving his 6 1/2-year sentence.
Pale but with his head held high, the 60-year-old Krenz before "I will not submit!" before being led away.
Krenz said he did not accept unified Germany's right to prosecute him.
"I wasn't convicted because of a crime, but because of my political offices in East Germany," he said in a statement afterward. "The political persecution is revenge for the fact that East Germany existed."
The Berlin state court convicted Krenz on four manslaughter counts and ordered him jailed immediately as a potential flight risk.
The verdicts mark the first time former members of the East German political hierarchy have been held accountable for deaths at the heavily fortified East German border.
It also was likely to be the last trial against former political leaders, because most either have died or been excused for health reasons. Other trials since the 1989 fall of the Berlin Wall have dealt only with border guards and military leaders.
At least 916 people were killed trying to escape during East Germany's 41 years of existence, according to authorities, including 80 at the Berlin Wall. The charges were reduced to
"The political persecution is revenge for the fact that East Germany existed."
Egon Krenz
East German communist leader
six counts of manslaughter to speed up the trial that began in November 1995.
Krenz's defense lawyers had argued he couldn't be held accountable for the deaths because East Germany lacked independence as a pawn of Moscow.
"Even if East Germany acted under the command of the Soviet Union, the crimes still must be prosecuted," said presiding judge Josef Hoch.
Two co-defendants — former East Berlin communist chief Guenter Schabowski, 67, and economics expert Guenter Kleiber, 65 — each were convicted of three counts of manslaughter and sentenced to three years. No date was set for them to report to prison.
Prosecutors, who had recommended an 11-year sentence, said they might appeal that part of the decision.
Defense lawyers for all three said they would consider appealing. Krenz said he'd also go to the European Court of Justice.
For those who survived escape attempts and the relatives of those who did not, the verdict was a long time in coming. About 100 gathered outside the turn-of-the-century courthouse chanting "Murderers, murderers!" as the defendants entered.

Outlook dim for baseball, football and Allen's hair
Seeking pigskin glory? 1997 is not the season
With school less than a week old and thousands of clueless freshmen still bouncing from hall to hall, I

enough inane
questions to last
al lifetime.
The new students have questions about everything. They want to know where the library is. They do not understand add/drop. They want to know why books are so expensive. Someone in one of my

classes asked our professor "What's a ballot?" (For the politically challenged. you use a ballot to vote.)
Q: Who is still following the Kansas City Royals?
So with "questions" being the theme of the week, I am going to do a little Q-and-A around the sports world.
A: At last count, the number of diehard Royals fans was hovering at about three people. That should not be surprising because the Royals are hobbling towards the close of yet another hapless season.
Q: How much hair is Kansas head football coach Terry Allen going to have left at the end of the season?
Maybe someone should let Royals management in on a little secret—you cannot win with a lineup full of mediocre stars. Chili Davis, Dean Palmer, Jay Bell and Jeff King are nice players, but if you are waiting for them to bring home a pennant, it is time to get on the reality bus.
A: Very little. Allen could be sporting the "Charles Barkley" after his first year in Lawrence. His Jayhawks are picked to finish no better than fifth in the Big 12 Conference North Division by most publications—and that is generous.
Besides losing their three best players (June Henley, Isaac Byrd and Ronnie Ward), the Jayhawks have to break in one new coach and two rubber-band-armed backup quarterbacks.
The '97 Jayhawks are going to resemble one of those Kansas teams from the mid-1980s.
Trust me, it would not matter if Terry Allen was Bear Bryant, Bud Wilkinson, and Joe Paterno rolled into one.
Q: How many people read my column in last Monday's paper?
A: Hopefully, nobody.
In case you missed it, I boldly predicted (actually, I guaranteed) that the Oklahoma Sooners would "pound the Northwestern Wildcats off the north shore of Chicago."
But, please bear with me. I grew up in Norman, Okla., and suffer from severe bouts of Sooner lunacy. It is a rare affliction (at least in Kansas) that results in a temporary loss of sanity and spontaneous singing of "Boomer Sooner."
So, I was wrong.
Should I make any future predictions about the Crimson and Cream, please disregard.
Q: How should you spend your Fridays and Sundays this semester?
Rattif is a Norman, Okla., junior in journalism.
A: Going to SuperTarget Field to support the Kansas women's soccer program. It is the team's third year on campus, and the Jayhawks need your support.
New head coach Dan Magner has promised to instill a creative and wide-open offense. With a solid nucleus of returning players, the Jayhawks should be not only more competitive but fun to watch, too.

Soccer team looks to Friday opener

The transition from high school to college life often can prove difficult, especially for students who have obligations that reach beyond the classroom.
For Kansas freshman centerfielder Jen Wallace, college soccer is nothing like she thought it would be.
"I had no idea that playing soccer in college would require so much dedication," Wallace said. "In high school you just have practice after school and go home. This fall has been entirely different."
From two-a-day practices on the field to working out in the weight room, Wallace has had to learn to dedicate herself to both academics and athletics.
"From high school to college, classes have been no problem so far," Wallace said. "But for the two weeks since I got here, I've spent part of almost every day doing something to prepare myself for this season. Every day, there's four hours of practice, weight training and two team meetings. It's been hard to adjust to that
kind of a schedule."
Kansas soccer coach Dan Magner has not released a starting lineup for the season opener Friday at Illinois State. The Jayhawks play two days later at Eastern Illinois.
Although Wallace is unsure whether she will be in the starting lineup, Magner is closer to naming a starting goaltender for the season opener after an intrasquad scrimmage Sunday evening.
Magner said sophomore goaltender Jennifer Fecke played the full 90 minutes in Sunday's scrimmage despite an upper-respiratory infection and flu-like symptoms.
"If Jennifer's able to shake off the cold, she'll be in goal for the season opener Friday," Magner said. "She played well Sunday night in our scrimmage, so we're optimistic that she will be ready to go. If she's not ready, we'll still be all right."
HAWK
Sophomore goaltender Betsy Pollard will start for the Jayhawks if Fecke is unable to. Meanwhile, freshman goaltender Katie Garrity will miss a minimum of two weeks because of mononucleosis.
Last season, Fecke was the starting goaltender, and Pollard was the backup. This season, while Magner has refused to rule out any candidates for the starting spot, the roles of Fecke and Pollard might remain the same.

Allen's debut not without pressure

Allen: Wants emphasis placed on players instead of himself.

Kansas football coach Terry Allen's collegiate coaching debut at Northern Iowa was one of the most disappointing days in his life.
Allen and Northern Iowa lost the season opener against Mankato State — a Division II school — in front of a home crowd. Northern Iowa is a Division IAA school.
"Turnovers and special teams played a large part in our loss that day," Allen said yesterday at a press conference. "Hopefully, there won't be a repeat of Mankato State when we open the

There has been a lot of attention surrounding Allen and the new era in Javahawk football.
season Thursday."
Billboards of Allen holding a football and smiling are along interstate shoulders outside of Lawrence and throughout the Kansas City metropolitan area. Then there is the "Terry Allen TV Show," which is broadcast for both radio and television.
Allen said he would love to see the billboards torn down so that the emphasis could be placed
The team captains — inside linebacker Jason Thoren, outside linebacker Ron Warner, safety Tony Blevins, quarterback Matt Johner and running back Eric Vann — are all seniors.
back on the players.
"I'm receiving a lot of the attention up front, but that will have to change in the future," Allen said. "This team is not Terry Allen's. This team belongs to the University, and the five team captains more than anyone should be on those billboards."
Although Allen said senior leadership was scarce on such an inexperienced team, that would change in the coming years.
"We're young, but we're bound to become smarter and wiser," Allen said. "You need seniors to build a solid foundation to build a program on, and we will not have a shortage of seniors as we continue to build this program."
Vann said that Allen's concern with the players away from the football field was the biggest contrast from former coach Glen Mason.

"I never thought about visiting Mason when he was here," Vann said. "I visited Coach Allen three times before spring practice even began. That never happened with Mason because we never dared to walk past his office."

COLUMBUS, Ohio — An Ohio State men's basketball player was arrested Sunday night — the third player to get into legal trouble in less than 72 hours.
Incoming freshman Jon Sanderson, 18, a 6-foot-7 forward, was arrested in Dayton, Ohio, on charges of assaulting a peace officer, underage drinking and public intoxication. He was arraigned yesterday in Dayton Municipal Court.
Early Friday, Ohio State captain Damon Stringer and backup guard Trent Jackson were charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest after a scuffle with police outside a Columbus bar.

Ohio State athletic director Andy Geiger said after Friday's arrest that no decision would be made about the players' futures until new coach Jim O'Brien returned later this week from a golf vacation in Scotland.
Rion said that Sanderson was at a party with some friends outside a home on the University of Dayton campus when security officers arrived. Rion said Sanderson ran, and the officers chased him on their bicycles.
Dayton Municipal Court Judge James Cannon ordered Sanderson held on a $10,000 bond. Sanderson's attorney, Jon Paul Rion, said bond would be posted.

Alexander's lawyers said they had appealed the ruling to Circuit Court, and Alexander would not serve the time while the appeal was underway.
Alexander, of Durham, N.C., said he planned to transfer to another Division I school. He said he was choosing from a list that included Connecticut, Syracuse, Kansas, UCLA and Georgetown. Under NCAA rules, he will have to sit out a year before suiting up for another Division I team.
Last season, the 6-foot-6 forward led Virginia with 14.8 points per game. In two years, he started 42 of the 53 games in which he played.

OSU to play football with fewer Cowboys
Grades, discipline factored in slicing team roster by 10
The Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa — Oklahoma State still looks like a formidable opponent to Iowa State coach Dan McCarney — academic casualties and all.
Iowa State and Oklahoma State open their seasons and Big 12 Conference play Saturday night in Ames, Iowa. The Cowboys will compete without 10 players, including five starters, lost to grade problems and another suspended for disciplinary reasons.
That would seem to leave the Cowboys easy pickings for an Iowa State team seeking a fast start after going 3-8 and 2-9 in McCarney's first two seasons. McCarney, however, doesn't see it that way.
"There's no shortage of players at Oklahoma State," McCarney said Sunday during a Big 12 teleconference. "They've done as good a job recruiting or better over the
three years we've been here. We're still going to have our hands full Saturday night."
"We very much anticipate good players taking the field for Oklahoma State at every position on the field," he said.
McCarney said he had never seen a team that lost so many players at once so close to the start of the season.
Six of OSU coach Bob Simmons' players were declared ineligible on Friday, including starting tail-
back Andre Richardson and top linebacker Raymond Cato, the team's leading tackler last season.

Quarterback Todd Bauerhand said that the Cowboys' roster changes
would not affect his team's playing.
"Obviously, we were surprised they lost so many players," Bandhauer said. "But we're really not focusing on who they lost, we're focusing on playing Oklahoma State. We're concentrating on our game and what we're going to see."
McCarney said four Cyclone newcomers definitely would play Saturday night and two others might see action.

Freshman Carl Gomez will be the starting punter and freshman linebacker Reggie Hayward will play as a backup. Another freshman, Breon Ansley, is a second team cornerback and junior college transfer William Perryman will see action as a tight end.
McCarney said freshman Andy Stensrud might play at tight end and walk-on Chris Anthony, a freshman wide receiver, might be on some special teams.
Anthony, a 6-foot-3, 195-pounder has been one of the surprises of fall camp.
"There's no question he's a Division I football player," McCarney said. "If he continues to work hard, like we know he will, he will have a tremendous opportunity to win a scholarship. He's a gem."
New Alabama coach to stroll Bear's old field
The Associated Press
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — After a summer of serving as a keynote speaker, autograph signer and celebrity fundraiser, Mike DuBose can finally concentrate on his most important duty — coaching football.
The Alabama coach's first game is Saturday against Houston, and this week he begins settling into a routine that will become common during the next three months.
"He's busy, but he's dealing with football, not all the other stuff that goes along with his job." Alabama receivers coach Woody McCorvey said yesterday. "Over the last few days, he's been about as relaxed as I've seen him."
Still, McCorvey has noticed
some changes since the Opp, Ala. native saw his lifelong dream come true when he was named to replace Gene Stallings and walk the same sideline as his old coach, Bear Bryant.
"He's the same person, but he's got that look in his eye more often," McCorvey said. "We're not sitting around the office visiting a lot like he did when he was an assistant. He's always got something to do or somewhere to be."
If DuBose is as successful on the field as he has been with the rest of his duties this summer, No.16 Alabama shouldn't have many problems.
The new coach has relished the offseason spotlight, putting on successful charity golf tournaments in four cities, speaking at numerous booster luncheons
across the state and signing more footballs, programs and pennants in eight months than he had in his life.
He has also installed a new offense and tried to develop a rapport with his assistant coaches, some new to the program, the rest unfamiliar with what it's like to have DuBose as a boss.
One of the new faces is Neil Callaway, an old college roommate who, like DuBose, played on the Bryant teams of the mid-1970s. Callaway left his job as Houston's offensive coordinator to become DuBose's offensive line coach.
"He's still a good friend," Callaway said. "But when I walk into work, it's not a friend relationship. It's an employer-employee kind of deal and that's the way it should be."
As is the case with any new coach, DuBose isn't quite sure what product he'll put on the field Saturday. The new offense has had trouble adapting to the split-halfback formation that DuBose hopes will spread out defenses and make it easier to pass. As usual, the defense is expected to be the strength of the team, but has been somewhat sluggish in practice this summer.
DuBose said all the worrying hasn't cost him any sleep although sleep and quality sleep are two different things.
"I don't know if I'm going to make it to Saturday to be honest with you," he said. "I just hope the players are not as nervous as I am about it right now. But it is a special time for this football team, a special time for this program."

Champion runner returns
KC native is now the fastest man in track world
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Lining up yesterday to shake his hand and embrace his lanky frame, relatives and friends of Maurice Greene let him know they were proud of him, that they were praying for him, that he can do anything.
"I wanted to shake the hand of the fastest man in the world," one well-wisher told Greene after a news conference, where the 23-year-old runner accepted a key to the city and praise from city officials.
"You grew up!" another man exclaimed, pumping the hand of a member of the Schlagle High School Class of 1983 and the winner of the 100-meter dash at the World Championships in Athens on Aug. 3.
With a time of 9.86 seconds, Greene beat a stellar field that included defending world and Olympic champion Donovan Bailey. Bailey set the world record in the event — 9.84 seconds — in last year's Olympic final. Greene said he planned to beat that time.
In front of reporters and TV cameras, Greene talked about a rivalry
with Bailey and the great joy to know Bailey was in back of him at the World finals.
"If you want to be the best, you have to step up against the best," Bailey, who now lives in Los Angeles, told reporters.
"Amen!" responded a woman in the audience, one of several dozen friends and family who turned out for yesterday's ceremony. It seemed a common declaration among his community in Kansas City, Kan., a perpetual poor cousin of the bigger Kansas City across the river in Missouri.
"I always felt faster." Greene told reporters. "But it's not as fast as I'm going to feel." The audience affirmed the declaration with hoots and applause.
Greene attended Schlagle High School in Kansas City, Kan., then went to Park College in Missouri before returning to Kansas City, Kan., to attend the community college there.
All four children of Jackie and Ernest Greene took part in track at school.
"Maurice, being the baby, always said he was going to do it better," Mrs. Greene said.
"We encouraged all the kids in whatever they decided to do, to give it their all," Mrs. Greene said. "We didn't let them quit. Whatever they chose to do, they had to finish it."
Mrs. Greene said there was much
"It feels great. I always knew I had the support, but to see it physically is overwhelming."
Maurice Greene 100-meter dash world champion
Her son told the audience Monday he could sense the goodwill.
"I know every time I go out on the track I have your support," he told the audience.
support for all the children in their extended family, and among church members and the other parents of public school students.
On Sunday, an outing to Ricky's Pit Bar-B-Que turned into a pepparly and autograph signing session. Greene's boosters, some holding green balloons, chanted, "Greene means go. Greene means go."
Greene recalled getting off the plane this weekend and seeing his family and friends waiting for him.
"It feels great," he said. "I always knew I had the support, but to see it physically is overwhelming."
It's a little overwhelming for Greene's parents, too.
"I can't describe it," Mrs. Greene said of her pride. "It's a sick feeling. Headaches, chills. You have everything."
U.S. Open begins; upsets abound
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Five years ago at a clinic for junior tennis players, 12-year-old Venus Williams met Arthur Ashe and posed with him for a photograph.
Williams made her debut yesterday at the U.S. Open in a match that would have made Ashe on proud.
the first day of play in Arthur Ashe Stadium, she pummeled a 119 mph ace on her final point to finish a 5-7, 6-0, 6-1 victory against Larisa Neiland.
Ashe devoted his last years to encouraging inner city kids like Williams, who

grew up on the southern edge of Los Angeles, to play tennis.
Williams' arrival at the U.S. Open came amid the birthday celebration of another African-American tennis pioneer, Althea Gibson, who turned 70 and won the first of her two straight national singles titles 40 years ago.
"It was definitely a privilege playing on this court," Williams said. "Arthur did a lot for the game, a lot for the world. He was a great role model. Not just on the court, but off the court.
Williams never doubted, even as a young girl, that she would one day play in the U.S. Open. She remembered playing with her sister Serena when they were children.
"When Serena and I played, we always just expected to be here," she said. "When I was 10, I had been playing, like, six years. So it was just what I expected, not what I hoped. I just knew I would be there."
After a nervous start, the No. 66 ranked Williams settled into a controlled power attack against the 31.
year-old Neiland, who is more accomplished as a doubles player. Williams' extraordinary raw talent and imposing height, which allow her to overcome a deficiency in coaching and too little experience in matches, was evident on a couple of leaping overheads.
Of her 119 mph ace, which matched the fastest serve of her career and was just a bit off Brenda Schultz-McCarthy's 123 mph record, Williams nonchalantly said she could hit it that fast whenever she wants.
"She's a breath of fresh air," said former champion John McEnroe.
Change was in the air all around the U.S. Open on a balmy first day as teen-agers Anna Kournikova and Lilia Osterloh also scored impressive victories.
Kournikova, a 16-year-old who is one of the most promising prospects on the women's tour, crushed Sabine Appelmans 6-2, 6-0. She reached the fourth round of the Open last year in her Grand Slam debut.
The 19-year-old Osterloh, who won the NCAA title last spring as a freshman at Stanford, gained her first victory as a pro by beating Barbara Rittner 63, 1, 6, 63.
"Even though I won my first round (at the Open) last year as an amateur, it's different now that I'm playing a professional. I'm really excited," said Osterloh, who is thankful she postponed her professional career until now.
Men's No. 4 Goran Ivanisevic, who has made an art of getting upset in curious ways in Grand Slam matches, fell 4.6, 7.5, 6.1, 7.6 (7-3) to No. 91 Dinu Pescariu of Romania. Ivanisevic lost in the first round at the French Open to Magnus Gustafsson, then lost in the second round at Wimbledon to Magnus Norman despite serving 46 aces.
The first match in Arthur Ashe Stadium was won by Tamarine Tanasugarn, a 20-year-old from Thailand, who beat Chanda Rubin 5-4, 6-0.
Arthur Ashe Stadium opens amid controversy
By Hal Bock The Associated Press
NEW YORK — At the new, improved U.S. Open, everything comes with a pricetag.
Since the new Arthur Ashe Stadium cost a fancy $254 million,
$10.50 for a hamburger and soft drink almost seems like a bargain.
The cheap seats, up in a stadium that seats 22,500, cost
$22. From there, the players look tiny.
Get past the prices and the place is really appealing. The stadium's red, brick facing has a Camden Yards feel about it and the theme is carried to some of the outer courts, which are walled-in by the brick facade.
The only thing missing is some explanation for future generations of just who Ashe, the tennis humanitarian whose name appears over the entrance, was.
Some of the VIP fans, accustomed to courtside seats in the old stadium, found themselves moved away to accommodate luxury boxes and filed complaints with the New York attorney general's office.
It wouldn't be the Open without a dash of controversy, though. The official dedication of the new stadium was conducted Monday night with Harry Marmion, president of the USTA, and ex-mayor David Dinkins, who helped negotiate the land deal that doubled the space. Missing, however, was current mayor Rudolph Giuliani, pouting over a clause in the USTA contract that fines the city every time a plane from nearby LaGuarda Airport flies over the stadium, disrupting play.
Marmion pointed to the debt service of $1.2 million per month as the reason for two floors of pricy luxury boxes and the need to relocate some of the fans.

Apology doesn't erase receiver's violent act
Attack on teammate remains a mystery
The Associated Press
ASHBURN, Va. — Michael Westbrook strode out of the locker room, whistled an upbeat tune, scratched his head, shared a laugh with a member of the Redskins staff, then walked out the back door to face a sea of microphones.
"I thought it was very important that I came out here to say an apology to Redskins fans, the owner, my teammates, because it's a great embarrassment for the way I reacted out there on the field," Westbrook said.
"I think it's important now just to move on and not let this thing be a distraction to my team," he said. "We have to come together, and I learned a great lesson Tuesday. Thank you."
Westbrook then turned and went back inside Redskin Park. He refused to take any questions about his bloody attack six days ago on teammate Stephen Davis.
Without more insight from West-
brook, it remains a mystery what
---
prompted the third-year receiver to punch Davis several times on the sidelines during a practice. Westbrook left the running back face down and bleeding on the turf. Westbrook has been fined $50,000 for the attack, and was suspended for last week's exhibition game at Miami. He will not start Sunday's regular season opener against Carolina, and the Redskins have reportedly asked him to undergo counseling.
"Something like this you just don't put behind you in one day," coach Norv Turner said. "There's a process you go through, and we're going to be going through that process."
Yesterday was not only Westbrook's first public statement since the incident but was also his first practice. He apologized privately to Davis and to the rest of the team Saturday morning but left before the players took the field.
With the Redskins now operating under their regular-season rules, reporters were allowed to watch only the last 15 minutes of Monday's practice. Westbrook appeared to take part without incli-
dent.
"I didn't see any problems," said quarterback Gus Frerotte. "I think everything went fine, went smooth. Michael's back in the system, and we need him back."
Davis, his vision back to normal after having his eye swollen shut by Westbrook's punches, also practiced. He has denied provoking Westbrook, although sources indicate Davis was taunting Westbrook and called him a name. Davis has also refused to rule out legal action.
Turner would not say who would start at receiver at Carolina — although it's almost certain to be Alvin Harper and Henry Ellard — or how much Westbrook will play.
But the demotion of the 1955 No. 4 overall draft pick from Colorado is another blow to an aggressively self-confident man who has spent more time talking about his talent than displaying it through two injury-plagued seasons.
"You all know what I think of myself, I think I'm great," Westbrook said with a straight face during training camp. "I don't care where I was drafted. I could've been picked 21st in the draft. Fortunately, I was picked fourth, and I made a lot of money, but I don't care. I just think that I'm that good."
Westbrook, whose nonchalant attitude toward workouts and practices has irritated coaches, has caught only two touchdown passes in 68 receptions over two seasons.
Meanwhile, his millions have bought him a Lamborgini and a huge house with a movie theater, yet his repeated failure to pay some $50 per month in homeowners association dues landed him in criminal court last Friday. He also has a Sept. 19 court date to answer charges of reckless driving after he was clocked at 76 mph in a 45-mph zone earlier this month.

"With what happened with Mark's injury, we needed to reevaluate that whole scenario."
Starter's injury places backups in spotlight
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — If there's anything more daunting than sending out Rob Johnson for his first NFL start, try this on size: Johnson is the most experienced quarterback the Jacksonville Jaguars have.
Sure, the Jaguars haven't missed a beat since Mark Brunell, their $31 million quarterback, tore ligaments in his right knee three weeks ago.
"We want to win the game — and hopefully, the quarterback won't get hurt," he said.
The Associated Press
But in his two years with the Jaguars, Johnson has played in only one game that counted — if you can call it that — throwing seven passes during mop-up duty in a 44-0 loss to Detroit his rookie season.
Claymores in the World League.
Should something happen to Johnson on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens, the backup is Steve Matthews. His only live action has come with the Scottish
"They have to keep people off Rob, and the running game has to get going," said linebacker Eddie Robinson. "But I don't think you can go out there with an attitude of, 'Don't get the quarterback hurt.'
Coughlin wasn't even planning to look around the league for quarterbacks until Brunell got hurt against the New York Giants. He not only found Matthews, but decided that an ineffective Philcox wasn't worth keeping around.
Matthews, waived by the Kansas City Chiefs, has been with the Jaguars for all of five days.
The only comforting thought is that Johnson, who never had a chance to run the offense, has looked promising after Brunell's injury. He completed 72 percent of his passes for 506 yards and six touchdowns, and finished the preseason with a 142.9 pass efficiency rating.
"That's the kind of hand we've been dealt," Coughlin said. "You're playing a risk, just like you are on the roster playing with two quarterbacks. There is no comfort zone."
Coughlin concedes he is taking a gamble by starting the season with only two healthy quarter-backs on the roster.
Coughlin was troubled that Johnson took some big hits last week against the Falcons.
Todd Philcox, the third-string quarterback last year who started five games for the Cleveland Brown's in 1993 and 1994, was released on Sunday. To add a third quarterback, at least until Brunell returns, would have meant cutting another player to make room on the roster.
PANTHERS
"The pace will pick up a little bit this week," McCardell said.
"They'll show him some different things. But he's been here long enough. He's very confident in himself and we're confident in him. I don't expect the intensity from him to back down."
Coughlin said. "We have to have a guy who can go on the field and give us more production."
Matthews, a seventh-round pick in 1994, was having a good training camp in Kansas City. The Chiefs waived him after deciding to go with Pat Barnes, a fourth-round draft pick, as the No. 3 quarterback behind Elvis Grbac and Rich Gannon.
"When I got released, chances were I'd be picked up, because I started getting some calls the next morning," Matthews said. "But to come in and be the No. 2 quarterback is something I didn't expect."

NFL preseason plagued with injuries, hijinks
Teams experience turbulence before season's kick-off
By DAVE GOLDBERG AP Football Writer
On the day the Miami Dolphins opened training camp, Yatil Green, their first-round draft choice, tore up his knee and was declared gone for the season. It set the tone for the seven weeks leading up to Sunday's NFL opener a preseason filled with injuries and turbulence (on and off the field).
The final week of the exhibition season was the only one that passed without a major injury and that was because most coaches played their starters two series in the final game. The only star who got hurt was wide receiver Joey Galloway of Seattle, who may play Sunday against the New York Jets despite a bruised foot.
The teams that got hit the worst?
The teams that got hit the worst?
Try San Diego, which lost Junior Seau among others, and Miami, which lost Green, Larry Izzo and Kirby Dar Dar for the season, plus middle linebacker Zach Thomas with a broken leg that makes him questionable for this week.
Plus the two 1995 expansion teams, Jacksonville and Carolina, who found out how the other 28 teams have lived after reaching the conference championship games in their second year. Each lost their quarterbacks to injury
— Kerry Collins, Carolina Panthers, and Mark Brunell, Jacksonville Jaguars, — within an hour on the second Saturday of the exhibition season. Collins will be out with a broken jaw until at least the fifth week and Brunell with sprained knee ligaments will
miss the fifth week or longer.
Carolina also played terribly (0)
4) and had internal difficulties.
Kevin Greene, who led the NFL with 14.5 sacks last season, was a holdout and was released Sunday. Before Collins was hurt, he was decked by offensive lineman Norberto Davidds-Garrido in a bar fight and used a racial epithet to refer to wide receiver Muhsin Muhammad during a dorm party to celebrate the end of training
"We regarded it as a very serious matter," coach Dom Capers said of the Collins-Muhammad problem. "The appropriate apologies were made to — in my opinion — the satisfaction of the players involved. I know that Kerry regrets his comments. But we're basically moving forward."
Collins wasn't the only one who got into a fistfight.
NFL
Wide receiver Michael Westbrook of the Redskins, a disappointment in his first two seasons, suddenly decked running back Stephen Davis while the two were standing on the sidelines watching practice. Westbrook was suspended for the final exhibition game and fined $50,000.
The Panthers weren't the only team to run into trouble with a camp party.
The Dallas Cowboys (who else?) trashed their dorms at St. Edward's University in Austin when their camp ended, among other things tearing out the surveillance cameras installed by
But despite coach Barry Switzer's arrest for carrying a gun in the airport and the dorm party, team leaders like Troy Alkman and Chad Hennings declared the preseason a success compared to the turbulence of last season. Emmitt Smith is healthy again and even the local media, always eager for a tabloid-type saga, dismissed the dorm party as normal
Jerry Jones to help monitor their behavior.
party as normal
hijinks that wouldn't have started anybody if it had happened elsewhere.
Dallas' optimism notwithstanding, the best team last season was also the best team in preseason — Green Bay, which went 5-0 and has some players, such as the always euilulent LeRoy Butler, talking about becoming
the first team in 25 years to go unbeaten.
Coach Mike Holmgren, of course, squelched that one, but there seems a certain inevitability about the Packers, whose second team has about a dozen players who could start elsewhere; the stagnant salary cap kept several key players from moving on.
"We're pretty good, but I don't know if we have the best depth in the league," says general manager Ron Wolf.
He almost said it with tongue in cheek.

— OFFENSIVE ROOKIE: Tiki Barber, New York Giants. He was supposed to be a third-down back. Now he's a third-down back playing every down — a Roger Craig type in Jim Fassel's California offense. The only reservation: The offensive line is questionable.
— DEFENSIVE ROOKIE: Jason Taylor, Miami. Jimmy Johnson's latest discovery is this year's Brackens, an undersized defensive end who gets to quarterbacks.
— COACH OF THE YEAR: Tom Coughlin, Jacksonville. He gets recognized this season for what he did in 1996.
K-State's new golf course to fulfill sundry objectives
The Associated Press
WICHITA, Kan. — Kansas State University is expected to get more than an 18-hole, championship golf course named for Jim Colbert in the spring of 1999.
The 305-acre complex also will be a laboratory for researchers studying the environmental impact of the course.
It will serve as a resident course for students studying golf course management and as a place for summer sessions for children who have been underrepresented in golf, especially minorities and youngsters from poor families.
At a news conference Monday in Wichita, officials outlined plans for the Colbert Hills Golf Course and explained its multiple partnerships with Kansas State. The course will be the first collegiate course managed by the PGA Tour. Although financed by private contributions, the course will be developed and owned by the Kansas State University Golf Course Management and Research Foundation.
C
Colbert, a Kansas State alumnus and senior member of the PGA Tour since 1991, will donate $500,000, while an anonymous group called Colbert's "Circle of Friends" has assembled over $3 million. The estimated course cost is $8.5 million to $10 million.
Colbert Hills will be managed by PGA TOUR Golf Course Properties Inc., a subsidiary of the PGA Tour that owns or operates 14 Tournament Players Clubs around the nation and has six others in the construction or planning stage.
The 7,400-yard course will have a clubhouse, driving range and nine-hole teaching course and serve as the home course for
Kansas State's women's and men's teams. Course-generated revenues will help endow golf and general athletic scholarships.
Colbert Hills will also serve as the internship resident course for a pilot program combining Kansas State's turf management curriculum with formal course work in business administration and hospitality.
Colbert and PGA officials hope the complex will be a place where aspiring young golfers, especially minorities, could get involved in the game. Although golf has begun to cross cultural and socio-economic barriers, Colbert believes more must be done to reach the underrepresented populations.
The Colbert Hills Skills Based Youth Golf Academy will bring about 100 youngsters ages 10 to 17 each summer for two- and four-week sessions. The participants - 75 from the Manhattan area and 25 from across the nation - would come from low-income families and would learn golf fundamentals while getting academic, career and social counseling.
The course also will be the centerpiece for a 1,040-acre development northwest of Manhattan. Long-range plans include an estimated 700 homes and other commercial development along the course, but Colbert said the major themes will remain athletics and academics.

Student reports rape
(USPS 650-640)
Alcohol played a part police report indicates
Mary Corcoran Kansan staff writer
A former University of Kansas student was arraigned in Douglas County Court yesterday on one count of rape. A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for Sept. 4.
Ian Michael Hall, rural Lawrence resident, allegedly raped an 18-year-old KU student between 3:45 and 4:15 a.m. Sunday morning as she slept in a friend's room in McCollum Hall, KU police said. The woman lives in another Daisy Hill residence hall. police said.
The student reported the rape at 3:40 p.m. Sunday. At 12:34 p.m. Monday, Hall was arrested by KU police officers on campus.
According to the law, an offense is considered rape if, among other circumstances, any form of nonconsensual penetration occurs "when the victim is unconscious or physically powerless; or when the victim is incapable of giving consent because of the effect of any alcoholic liquor, narcotic, drug or other substance."

KU police reports classified the crime as an acquaintance rape because the victim knew Hall. The reports also showed that alcohol was a factor in the rape. KU police did not specify who was under the influence.
"In fact, 90 percent of all rapes like this involve alcohol," KU police Sgt. Chris Keary said.
Historically, the University of Kansas has had a low number of sex crimes on campus. Since January, there have been three rapes on campus, including this incident but no other sex offenses.
Communication may help end date rape on campus
By Rachelle Detweiler
Kansan staff writer
Date rapes are a part of campus life. Rape can happen at any time, and there are ways to prepare one's self.
"We make sure that when educating, that men are involved," Ballard said. "But the target population is women. They're the ones affected by it."
Reported rapes on campus dropped slightly from four in 1995 to three in 1996, according to statistics published in Awareness, a newsletter about campus safety. But students, men and women, still must work together for prevention, especially of date rape, said Barbara Ballard, director of the Emily Taylor Resource Center.
Ballard said that the definition of rape had changed because of rape awareness programs sponsored by the center and increased national media attention.
In the early 1980s, no term defined a rape perpetrated by a friend or acquaintance, Ballard said.
Today, acquaintance, or date,

All events are sponsored by the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center
rapes comprise 90 percent of all rapes on college campuses, according to a Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Program pamphlet provided by the center.
Because of the increase in date
rapes, a vital component for cooperation between men and women is to solve miscommunication problems when expressing desires, Ballard said.
Charlene Meuhlenhard, assistant psychology and women's studies professor, conducted research on sexual communications while she was a professor at Texas A&M.
Her study reported that while dating, open communication may decrease the likelihood of date rape.
Nine of the 424 male undergraduates participating in the survey said that they would retreat only if a woman threatened to call the police and charge them with rape, she said.
"I wouldn't recommend that the first time a man makes a sexual advance to yell," she said. "Be civil and nice and take his feelings into account."
But if the aggressive behavior persists, Meuhlenhard recommended leaving the relationship.
Corrina Beck, Kansas City, Mo., junior, said awareness of date rape had increased. But she said she still knew too many date-raped women.
Parking violators hit with fine increase
Increased parking permit prices are not the only new expense campus drivers need to worry about this semester.
By Tim Harrington Kansan staff writer
"Those costs would be entirely on the backs of permit holders and hopefully it will be somewhat of a deterent." Hultine said.
Donna Hultine, assistant director of parking, said the increase in fines would pay costs associated with the department's summer projects, including adding 193 spaces on Daisy Hill and building a new lot east of Jayhawker Towers.
Fines for parking violations have risen $5.
Parking is a self-supported department with a restricted fee account, meaning that all
Ward Cook, Mission Hills junior and vice chairman of the Student Senate parking board, said fines should have been raised more instead of hiking permit costs.
income from parking permits and parking violations is spent on parking.
"The position of the parking board has always been that fines should be the major source of revenue," Cook said.
Another change is that ticketing began earlier this semester. In previous years, fines were not handed down until after Labor Day weekend. This semester ticketing began Monday.
Meter fines have remained constant at $5. Last year, parking meters earned more than $130,000 for the parking department.

Unions' prices outrage students
By Corrie Moore Kansan staff writer
Food services charge higher prices than off-campus eateries
The first time Katrina Moore ate at the Hawk's Nest in the Kansas Union, she bought a large order of Pizza Hut cheese sticks and opened the box to find only three sticks and some tomato sauce.
"It's like paying $1 for one cheese stick and a lot of sauce," said Moore, Lincoln, Neb. freshman.
Many students are complaining about high prices at the food services in the Kansas and Burge Unions. Union representatives said the prices are justified and comparable to prices at other restaurants.
At the Hawk's Nest, three Pizza Hut cheese sticks cost $2.35. At regular Pizza Huts, five cheese sticks cost $2.79 plus tax.
A plain bagel with plain cream cheese costs $1.55
at the Kansas Union's Bagel & Bagel. At the Bagel &
Bagel on Massachusetts Street, it costs $1.16.
Jay Glatz, food services manager in the Kansas and Burge Unions, said the Unions' prices were market-driven and based on recommendations from the chain restaurants.
Also, the unions' cafeterias are self-supporting and have to pay for utilities, maintenance and renovations, Glatz said.
"If you're on campus and have a full load of classes, you still need to eat that day."

"It costs only 75 cents, and it helps the environment." he said.
He pointed to the unions' 34-ounce refillable mugs as a good deal for students.
The University's contract with Coca-Cola has decreased the prices of non-carbonated fruit drinks, such as Fruitopia. The drinks used to cost around $1.45, and now cost $1.15.
Jennifer Gooding, Wichita sophomore, thought the fruit drink prices were outrageous.
"If you would walk into a gas station to buy the same thing, you would get better value," she said.
But Gooding said people would still eat at the union cafeteria despite the prices.

LSU student dies after apparent drinking binge
BATON ROUGE, La. — One Louisiana State University student died and three others were hospitalized yesterday after an apparent drinking binge to celebrate fraternity pledge week, the LSU chancellor said.
Whether alcohol was the cause of the student's death won't be known until autopsy results are available later this week. Chancellor William Jenkins said. He said there was no evidence that anyone had been forced to drink as part of any hazing ritual.
Campus police received an emergency call from the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house early yesterday, just after midnight, and found about a dozen people passed out on the floor, said Randy Watts, LSU police chief.
LSU has long had a reputation as a party school where many students drink heavily. The death comes a week after the Princeton Review, not affiliated with Princeton University, published a guide for high school seniors that listed LSU as tenth on a list of the nation's top party schools.
They had been drinking off campus, Jenkins said. Alcohol is illegal on campus and none had been found during a routine check of all fraternity houses on Monday, he said.
Watts said he could not yet say if the students did their drinking in a bar.
A bar could lose its license for selling liquor to anyone under the age of 21. The dead student, Benjamin Wynne, of Covington, was 20, officials said.
Ages of the other students were not available. Two were released after treatment and one remained hospitalized in stable condition.
This is the first full week of class on the campus of 28,000 students and a number of the 20 fraternity houses had parties Monday, including SAE with its 130 members and pledges.
Disciplinary action could be taken against the fraternity but nothing can be done until the investigation is complete, Jenkins said.
Predicted strong economy raises inflation concerns
NEW YORK — New readings on consumer confidence and manufacturing
omy is headed for more strength in the second half of the year, raising concerns about inflation.
Yesterday's reports come at a time of uncertainty in the marketplace as economists scour new
$
data for any signs showing the economy is moving too fast.
While the Federal Reserve hasn't raised interest rates to slow the economy since March, investors fear another rate increase will come in the final months of this year if the economy continues to grow.
"The economy is doing well and we don't have inflation," said Gary Thayer, a senior economist at A.G. Edwards & Sons Inc. in St. Louis. "But there are concerns that the strong economy will create some economic pressures."
Stocks initially fell following the economic news, which helped push long-term interest rates higher in the bond market. As the day wore on, bonds returned to Monday's levels, but stocks continued slipping. By late afternoon the Dow Jones industrial average was off 62.48 at 7,797.09.
The Conference Board, a private business group, reported yesterday that its index of consumer confidence showed an unexpected rise in August.
Separately, the Commerce Department reported that orders for big-ticket durable goods fell 0.6 percent in July. But excluding aircraft and defense purchases, which can skew month-to-month numbers, the figures showed the economy is continuing to expand.
The National Association of Realtors also reported that sales of existing homes rose 2.2 percent in July to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.24 million units. Sales rose in the West and Northeast but fell in the Midwest and were unchanged in the South.
SAT scores rise to levels not seen for 25 years
WASHINGTON — High school seniors boosted their math scores on the SAT college entrance test close to levels of 25 years ago, according to results released yesterday. Scores on reading and vocabulary didn't budge.
However, high school students are getting better report cards. "We need to take a second look at what seems to be a rising pattern of grade inflation," said Richard W. Riley, education secretary.
the nonprofit College Board, which gives the test, said high school students who graduated this year scored an average of 511 on the math portion and 505 on the verbal.
The math score, up for the sixth straight year, rose from 508 last year. Scores had fallen below 500 in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The math score was 513 in 1971, and scores were higher before that.
The verbal score was also 505 last year and has risen above that only four times in the last 20 years. Scores were 540 and higher in the late 1960s.
This is the second year of scoring based on a new scale intended to raise the average score back to 500 and make the results
Comparison scores also were converted to the new scale, although those for 1967 to 1971 were based on estimates.
more statistically sound.
The exam, the most widely used part of the board's Scholastic Assessment Tests, was taken by 1.1 million high school graduates. They account for 95 percent of college freshmen this year.
Analysts said math scores are rising because students are taking more rigorous math and science courses. The same trend was noted in results released earlier this month for the ACT, another entrance examination.
PEORIA, III. — Researchers at the University of Illinois and elsewhere are trying to take the stink out of hog manure.
Scientists thumb noses at mega-scale hog farms
Scientists at the National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research, located in Peoria, soon might join other researchers in trying to solve the problem. Rep. Ray LaHood, R-III., said last week he would ask Congress for $1 million to pay for the research.
Mega-scale hog farms usually store the abundant waste the animals produce in large lagoons. And the resulting unpleasant odor is one of the main problems associated with the livestock operations. The farms also are controversial because environmentalists and others say the large collections of manure pollute the air and threaten ground water.
Peter B. Johnsen, director of the National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research, a division of the Department of Agriculture, said removing the smell from hog waste was not easy.
But, he added, "It's not a bizarrely difficult, intractable problem."
Yuanhui Zhang, a professor in the department of agricultural engineering at the University of Illinois, is researching thermochemical conversion of livestock waste. That means trying to convert manure into other products, such as fuel oil and plant fertilizer, that do not smell like hog manure.
Scientists studying manure odor also have been looking into the role of dust.
"Dust particles are the major player, acting as an odor-carrier," Zhang said. "If we reduce dust concentrations, we get a good chunk of the odors."
Potential solutions range from the relatively simple, such as sprinkling edible vegetable oil on the floors of buildings housing hogs, to the high-tech — using air scrubbers to cut down on dust and odor.
MOSCOW — The Mir's oxygen generating systems were working normally
Mir oxygen systems fixed, crew OK, officials say
yesterday and the crew was in no danger following a brief scare that the space station's air supply had failed, Russian space officials said.
Mission Control Representative
Valery Lyndin said the main and backup oxygen generating systems were down simultaneously for several hours Monday due to electrical and mechanical problems.
Both systems were restored late Monday night, he said.
The problem was first reported Monday by NASA which said the problem was potentially very serious.
But Russian officials said the problem was fixed Monday night before the three-man crew went to sleep.
When Russian officials spoke with the crew yesterday morning, they confirmed that the oxygen systems were working properly.
There was a great deal of confusion Monday night because Russian Mission Control was closed and did not provide an explanation of the situation.
The primary Elektron generator, which had been turned off since last week to conserve power, shut itself down Monday after it began overheating. NASA Representative Ed Campion said from the Johnson Space Center in Houston on Monday.
Even when both oxygen systems go down, Mir has enough oxygen to last several days, Campion and Russian officials said. But if the systems could not be fixed, the crew would have to abandon ship in the attached Soyuz capsule.
There have been repeated problems with the new Elektron generator, carried up by space shuttle Atlantis in May. But it was the first time since February that a crew had had serious trouble with the backup system, in which solid-fuel canisters are ignited to produce oxygen.
One of these canisters burst into flames in February, filling the station with smoke and almost forcing the crew to evacuate.
The cosmonauts were trying to ignite a canister, or candle, Monday when the system failed, according to NASA. They replaced the igniter mechanism but the canister still would not burn.
Authorities blame farmers for deaths of wild rabbits
WELLINGTON, New Zealand — A rabbit-killing virus has been illegally introduced into farmland on New Zealand's
South Island, apparently by farmers desperate to save their grazing lands.
The Ministry of Agriculture confirmed yesterday that rabbit calicivirus disease has been found on at least four farms in Central Otago and suspected outbreaks at three other South Island locations. All these areas have huge wild rabbit populations.
"It appears this disease has been deliberately and illegally introduced," Chief Veterinary Officer Barry O'Neil said. It was likely the disease was released sometime last week.
Police immediately quarantined the farms where the dead rabbits were found, set up roadblocks to monitor traffic, banned the movement of any stock animals and began an investigation to track down those responsible.
Biosecurity Minister Simon Upton said his "gravest concern" was that someone had deliberately breached border security and brought the virus in from Australia.
Australian scientists were experimenting with the calicivirus to stem plagues of quick-breeding rabbits, which ravage farmland and contribute to the extinction of native species.
In 1995, the disease was accidentally released into Australia's mainland rabbit populations from an offshore quarantine site on Wardang Island. That site is suspected as the source of New Zealand's current infection.
Angry farmers threatened to release the virus illegally last month when scientists rejected an application for the virus to be introduced legally into New Zealand. The scientists argued that further research was needed.

Center finds new site, mission
Islamic center's move won't affect prayer observation
By Ryan Koerner
Kansan staff writer

At its new location, the Islamic Center of Lawrence, 1629 W. 19th St., is striving to be the ultimate resource center for Muslims and non-Muslims interested in the Islamic religion.
"The center is open to anyone in the community who is interested in Islam," said Ahmed Zafer, Medina, Saudi Arabia, graduate student. "Our arms are open; our hearts are open. We handle anything but hostility. Period."
More than 50 students regularly visit the center, Zafer said. Many of them do not fit the Muslim stereotype.
"Most people think it is strange to see a blue-eyed blonde practicing Islam," Zafer said. "But we have some in our group, and many other non-Arab Muslims. Islam is a world religion, not just a religion of the Arabic countries."
Between 200 to 300 Muslim students attend the University of Kansas, Zafer said.
The center began moving to its new location last summer. It had been located at 1300 Ohio St.
"We just closed the deal on this location May 1," Zafer said. "So all of the people are fully functional, but with the boxes still unpacked the facility is not functioning."
The day-to-day business of the center is run by the executive council of the Muslim Student Association, a student group of the University of Kansas. Zafer is president of the association.
A Board of Trustees comprised of elected elders of the Lawrence Muslim community oversees the center.
"The Board of Trustees acts as our advisers," Zafer said. "They are here to make sure we, as students, make good choices for the center."
The center provides educational information to non-Muslims in the community, Zafer said. The executive council will speak to other religious or student groups about the beliefs and practices of Islam.
The center provides a place to practice Islam and provides a sense of community for Muslim students.
"We have social activities," said Mohamed Hassib, Cairo, Egypt, junior. "As students we can get together in the center and play table tennis or whatever, just for fun."
The center does not hold regular religious services like those of Christian religions. Instead, the center has a large "prayer room" for Muslims to use for any or all of
the five daily prayer times Muslims observe.
"Our religion dictates that we have congregational prayer on Friday," Hassib said. "It is a personal religious experience; it is just a time to be together to pray."
Hassib also said that if a scholar was present, he or she may lead the prayer, but he did not preach to the congregation.
Scholars are Muslims who are well-versed in Islam and the Koran, the holy book of Islam. Clergymen are not part of the Muslim religion. Instead, scholars advise Muslims who need guidance.
"Part of what we do is match students, anyone really, with the right people to talk to." Zafer said. "If

Biology merger enhances research
Two departments combine to offer broader education
By Mike Perryman Kansan staff writer
Two biological departments have mutated and evolved into one new, bigger and stronger department.
The new department, Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology, was formed from biochemistry and physiology and cell biology on July 1, with the beginning of the fiscal year. Graduate student research opportunities and resources should improve as a result, according to the department's acting chairperson, Mark Richter.
"Graduate students will now have a much broader choice for finding a topic of interest," Richter said. "They won't have to worry so much about choosing between biochemistry and cell biology."
A five-year plan is in the works and deals mostly with the hiring of new faculty.
"We are still ironing out a few remaining details on the plan to foster the new department and its positions," Richter said. "But so far it looks great."
Robert Weaver, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said both departments were in agreement that the merger was a good thing.
"The departments made the deci
sion," he said. "It was a good decision, too, because it will create a bigger, better faculty, which translates into more quality teachers and diverse research opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students."
The college will support several new assistant-professor-level faculty positions, including a new chairperson position, Weaver said.
Of the five candidates being interviewed for the position of chairperson, none are from the University of Kansas.
The merger is expected to attract top-notch graduate research students and help the University become more competitive in research. Weaver said.
Dean Stetler, director of undergraduate biology, said he agreed with Weaver.
"A new department will bring together similar research interests and will offer more for graduate students," he said. "Combined budgets will also allow for purchases of larger research equipment and supplies."
Bachelor's of science and arts programs in biochemistry, and the bachelor's of science program in cell biology would remain the same, Stetler said.
Weaver said he was optimistic. "Everyone will benefit," he said. "The new department will improve most aspects of graduate research, it will provide more opportunity for interaction between scientists, and it will provide more opportunity for undergraduate students to get involved in some of the research."
Weaver said he was optimistic.
Overland Park second best for raising children
National survey graded 219 cities on many factors
By Tim Harrington Kansan staff writer
The mass migration of families to the safe harbor that is suburbia has panned out nicely for those who chose Overland Park.
According to the Children's Environmental Index, a list survey of 219 U.S. cities that ranks "kid-friendliness." Overland Park is the second-best city in the country to raise children.
Released yesterday, the Index graded cities on 20 factors, such as infant mortality, teen pregnancy, school dropout rates and pollution.
The Index was produced by Zero Population Growth, a nonprofit organization concerned with the welfare of children.
Shawn Reidy, Naperville senior, was not as enthusiastic about the town as Zero Population Growth.
Beating out Overland Park for first place was Naperville, Ill.
"It's not bad. Kind of boring for the older crowd," Reidy said. "When we were in high school, we all said it sucked but going
back there now, it's a nice place."
Glenn Quick, assistant director of admissions, said that as of fall 1996, the University of Kansas had 781 products of the second-most kid-friendly city enrolled in classes.
One of those well-raised kids, Kimm Eilenberger, Overland Park sophomore, found nothing shocking about her hometown's high ranking.
"It's pretty high but really not all that surprising." Eilenberger said. "I thought it was a great place to grow up."
Dave Ravin, Overland Park sophomore, agreed.
"There's not much to say really. It's just a really nice place," Ravin said. "It's got the least amount of drugs and the least amount of crime in Kansas City."
Along with low crime and low drugs, some Overland Parkers boast of getting one of the best educations around.
"I definitely agree with the ranking," Katrina Gillett, Overland Park senior, said. "The school systems are really top level."
Gillett, however, did recall one drawback to her native town.

Copies of the "University Daily Kansan" once filled a big blue recycling bin in front of Stauffer-Flint Hall.
Newsprint being wasted until a new program is established, officials say
By Daniel Ethan Thompson Kansan staff writer
"I've been getting lots of calls asking where the bin was," said Victoria Silva, specialist for environmental health and safety.
The bin, along with newsprint barrels in Wescoe, Summerfield, Snow and Carruth-O'Leary halls, have been removed and are awaiting a new recycling program.
During the summer, facilities operations took took the blue bin on a truck from campus to Lawrence High School. Lawrence High students would unload the bin at the school by hand and send the newspapers to be recycled . Then the bin would be moved back to campus.
But the bin has disappeared.
All proceeds went to the Lawrence High sci.
Patterson said Lawrence High was now depositing its newsprint at Lawrence's drop area at Checkers Foods, 23rd and Louisiana streets.
Lawrence High stopped its program on August 18 and asked facilities operations to come pick up the bin permanently.
But the market for newsprint dropped, causing recycling programs to have to pay instead of being paid, to recycle.
Silva said the bins were incompatible with city recycling bins and if filled, would have to be emptied by hand.
Attempts to reach Mike Richardson, director of facilities operations, about the location of the bins were unsuccessful.
The bins are in storage, Silva said, and cannot be used without a new program in place.
With one part-time worker, that is impossible, she said.
"We had a concern that it would fill up and people would dump them on the ground," Silva said. "We're trying to prevent a total mess."

She is working with Lawrence officials to
implement a new program and hoped to have it in place before the end of September.
"Right now, the only thing we can do is ask students to take their papers to Wal-Mart or Lawrence City recycling centers." Silva said.

Hawk Week's fun and games fail to educate incoming students
Unlike many colleges across the state, the University of Kansas jumpstarts its entry into the school year with a week of activities aimed at orienting new students with the University. The name Hawk Week was coined for this week of events, but to many faculty and students, it is still known as Country Club Week.
Hawk Week began eleven years ago as an initiative on the part of the administration to keep students occupied so they would not fill their time drinking. Events such as Playfair, Beach and Boulevard, an ice cream social, the movie on the hill, convocation and Tradition's Night are aimed at introducing the University to students.
Unfortunately, the students who participate in Hawk Week events are usually the focused students, those already committed to studying and doing well academically. The students who could really benefit from the academic orientation to the University are the more active participants in Country Club Week.
Country Club Week is the party side of Hawk Week. Although Hawk Week activities seem to have somewhat diminished the consumption of alcohol, there is still a significant crowd of students bar-hopping the week before classes begin.
There may not be a real academic side to Hawk Week, however. While Hawk Week has some programs that focus on helping students overcome academic obstacles at a large University, it is not totally aimed towards academics. Most
of the Hawk Week agenda is focused on entertaining students and convincing them that while the University is large, it is not unfriendly.
This student-friendly approach to introducing students to Kansas causes difficulties when students arrive at their first large lecture, which can be overwhelming, or when their first problem arises.
If the University truly wants students to enter their first week of class totally prepared for real situations, they should rethink the focus of Hawk Week. Yes, the Hawk Week activities are fun and amusing, but they do not compete with the social atmosphere of Country Club Week. And as far as the academic side is concerned, Hawk Week might as well not exist.

City slips in fixing students' sidewalks
As I was walking home one recent evening, my mind stumbled over a nagging question: Who in the hell is in charge of repairing the sidewalks in the "student ghetto?"
That area, which I would define as running from Massachusetts St. west to campus, bordered by 19th St. on the south and 9th street on the north, is full of ankle-twisting crevices in the sidewalks in front of the apartments and houses of many KU students.
Now, if I, with ample light and uninfluenced motor skills had problems navigating the cement slabs during this particular walk home, think what a drunken classmate in the nighttime hour must go through.
No wonder hiking boots are so popular in this town: Getting home is like a
damn Rocky Mountain adventure.
So I made a phone call to Mike Wilden, Lawrence city manager, to get the skinny on my sidewalk. He said that property owners are responsible for the upkeep of the sidewalks on the property they own. In other words, the craters in my front yard are my landlord's problem.
The next step is to send a written complaint to the city engineer, Terese Gorman, at P.O. Box 708, Lawrence, Kan., 66044. She will have someone look at the sidewalk in question, and, if needed, notify the property owner that they must make repairs. Owners are then given 60 to 90 days to repair the sidewalk.
The fair act would be to initially complain to your landlord. Nothing will come of that, but at least you tried.
If the property owner doesn't make the needed repairs, the city can eventually fix the sidewalk, and then bill the property owner.
Wilden did say that if there is a large number of complaints in a certain area, something is more likely to be done.
What I suggest is this: Get your neighbors to sign a single letter of complaint regarding your sidewalk and mail it to the city engineer.
Then, wait a few weeks for a reply and mail that same letter once a week until you get a response.
If having a safe walk from your front door to the street isn't enough to warrant sidewalk repair, then maybe your persistence is.

Tuition cap a dream without senate support
Grey Montgomery
opinion@kansas.com
The Kansas Board of Regents' agreement to investigate the possibility of a tuition cap is a very small step in the right direction.
The implementation of a cap could halt the rapidly increasing reliance on students to pay the cost of providing higher education in Kansas.
A. V. Raman
The Board agreed to the tuition cap proposal in principle at its annual retreat on Thursday. No specific proposals were forwarded and no votes were taken. However, the Regents probably will become more concrete as they near submittal of their Fiscal 2009 by-
The Regents record on tuition indicates a need for a cap. In the past two years, the Board has made sincere efforts to keep tuition increases closer to inflationary increases. In June, the Board proposed a 2.8 percent tuition increase in Fiscal 1999, which followed a 4 percent increase in tuition this year. But the 10-year average is worse.
Since 1988, in-state tuition has increased by an average of 6.3 percent a year and out-of-state tuition has increased by an average 9.8 percent a year. And assuming the Legislature approves the Regents Fiscal 1999 budget request, which is a broad assumption, then 1999 will be the first year since 1989 that tuition increases have not exceeded CPI increases.
The Regents discussed linking the cap to the inflation rate, CPI or the cost-fee ratio. The cost-fee ratio is the percentage of the total cost of education that is paid by the student in tuition.
A good example of this has been the University's struggles to fund technology improvements. Technology slowly became a problem at Kansas as technology-related funding from the state has stalled in recent years. Now, state universities across the country are adopting 100 percent student-financed technology fees to resolve the deficiencies. Such proposals have been bounced around at Kansas, too.
Links to inflation and CPI are important, but links to the cost-fee ratio are necessary. Cost-fee ratios have soared since the late 1980s, indicating a reduced proportion of state funding in the cost of higher education. This trend lacks any reason, unless, of course, Kansans think that education is less important. I would hope that this is not the case.
And like it or not, don't be surprised if University administrators seek student support of student fees for other programs that the state has traditionally funded because the state falls short in funding. It's already happened in varying degrees in some of the University's schools, including the School of Law, where students pay a fee that was created in part to supplement faculty salaries.
During the 1980s, the Board maintained an unofficial guideline that students should not pay more than 25 percent of the cost of their education. This year, the Regents universities' students pay about 35 percent of the cost of their education. And at the University, stu
dents really take it on the chin, paying 43.6 percent of that cost.
To make up lost money from the state, universities have increasingly relied on fundraising and student fees to make necessary improvements.
Clearly, a 35 percent cost-fee ratio should be the maximum ratio allowed by the Regents and supported by students. That does not return us to the 25 percent cost-fee ratio Regents protected in the 1980s, but at least it stops the slide.
Problems of state funding are not going to be solved without substantial student involvement. The Student Legislative Awareness Board needs to have a greater influence in Topeka than it did during the 1997 legislative session. Don't get me wrong, I think SLAB has come a long way since its inception in 1994, but lobbying needs to go beyond a one-day SLAB lobby day if students are to be able to reverse any higher education funding trends.
I don't think legislators take students seriously enough, and why should they? We haven't exactly been the NRA. As a result, Legislative Director Samantha Bowman is going to have to step up. She is going to be one of the top two or three most important actors in Student Senate this year, depending on how well she does her job and how much volunteer support she gets from other students.
SLAB is going to have to devote a lot more time to Topeka than it has in past years.
If not, good ideas like a tuition cap and a cap on the cost-fee ratio will continue to be only good ideas.

Academic excellence? How about Sno Cones

Let's Placate Em With Che when he broke a filling and passed out. In his delirium, he

passed out. In his delirium, he dreamt he discovered the real first draft of Chancellor Robert Hemenway's convocation speech. It is presented here in its semi-fictional entirety:
Welcome, students. No; too traditional.
MMMBop. No; infectious, but too darn hip.
Welcome, all you party ani-
mals! That's it! Pause for
huge cheer; students love
administrative irreverence
almost as much as they love to PARTY DOWN). Mental note: you're targeting your audience here; students who are working their way through school and don't have time to party probably don't have time to attend convocation either.
I'm your chancellor and I just want to welcome you to the 132nd year of mediocrity at the University of Kansas. Last year we managed to stagnate for another two semesters!
Please excuse this long exposition, but you don't get the track record we have by approaching things quickly and directly.
For example, look no further than our treatment of the Graduate Teaching Assistants Union (for those freshmen out there, those are the people who teach most of your classes, that is, until approximately 20 percent of you drop out after your first year). We've repeatedly refused to meet their requests for a fair and equitable benefits package. We've brought indentured servitude into the twenty-first century! We've made it hip again! (pause again for huge cheer).
Now, as for those rogue critics who say we're being unreasonable on the issue, I respond: we're not the only ones with a hand on the cat'o'nine-tails! Look at the city of Lawrence. Better yet, ask any of your classmates who are struggling to pay linear tuition and living expenses on the $5-$6 an hour provided by most of Lawrence's fine retailers, which I encourage all of you're parents to visit after our ceremony tonight. Two words: Outlet Mall.
And we just want to let you know that we're once again teaming up with the City of Lawrence to suck more money out of your pockets by continuing our aggressive parking ticket campaign. Here at KU, we're leading the way by raising our previously unaffordable parking permit prices even more this year. Now, don't groan like that! How else can we subsidize football season tickets
and pass the generous savings on to you? (fight urge to wink).
But hey, let's not be defensive; let's concentrate on our strengths. I know we can all be proud of our recent ranking as the eighth-biggest party school in the nation. According to the eighth edition of The Gourman Report, that's significantly higher than our national ranking in undergraduate programs of anthropology, architecture, art, art history, astronomy, biology, chemistry, computer science, drama, English, French, geology, history, journalism, linguistics, music, political science, psychology, Spanish, and pre-law.
And that's a whole lot higher than our national ranking in accounting, African-American studies, behavioral sciences, biochemistry, business administration, chemical engineering, classics, child psychology, communications, economics, film, math, philosophy, physics, radio/TV, and sociology — because we don't even make the survey at all! Nor did we make the list of the Top 50 Undergraduate schools in the nation.
So you may be wondering where your tuition money is going in lieu of initiatives to improve our academic programs. Well, we just purchased a $4 million jet, which I know almost none of you can actually use, but we are considering bringing it to campus so everyone (with vouchers, of course) can queue up to touch it. And you can bet that Sno Cones will be provided!
So much for the future; right now, we continue to bring you inadequately staffed, sized and equipped computer labs, a completely outdated enrollment system, and almost inobservable cultural diversity.
But we're working on that. Just look at Fall's "Timetable of Classes." On the cover photo, you'll see that minorities comprise 42.6 percent of the faces in the foreground. Now; granted, that's slightly higher than the actual percentage of ethnic minorities in the student body, which was $9.6\%$ as of last March, and that's a whole lot higher than the percentage of people you'll actually see on campus interacting with those outside their individual ethnic groups. But we firmly believe that propaganda is the first step to truth. Plus, it's more cost-effective than more diversity programs and recruiting efforts.
I see you're getting restless. Probably getting ready to go out and PARTY, eh? (anticipate cheer) Well, I'll wrap this up.
Let's get ready for another semester of stagnation. Remember — let's keep mediocrity off the football field and in the classroom, where it belongs! Good night and I am outa here!

Halls offer better, faster way to log on
Ethernet provides quick connection for Internet surfers
By Sarah McWilliams
Kansan staff writer
More student housing residents are trying to get a quicker, easier connection to the Internet.
Networking and Telecommunication Services, located behind Ellsworth Hall, every
day is full of people requesting Ethernet access, said Jan Weller, director of NTS. An Ethernet connection allows students to log on to a campus network and surf the Internet without interrupting phone service.
A student with an Ethernet connection also uses
A student with an Ethernet connection can also retrieve information more quickly than a student with a dial-in account. "I think any time you have a direct connection you have a quicker response time," Weller said.
Between August 1996 and July, the NTS office received 347 requests for Ethernet accounts
in residence and scholarship halls, she said. In the past month, 27 new accounts had been opened.
Ethernet access is available in all scholarship halls and in McCollum, Ellsworth, Templin and Oliver Halls, but the network does not yet reach Lewis, Hashinger, and Gertrude Sellars Pearson-Corbin Halls. Weller said NTS was working with the department of student housing to connect the remaining halls within the next two years.
However, the process involves running wiring in the walls and can only be done in the summer when fewer students live in residence halls, she said.
Ethernet access costs $30 for a semester and $45 for an academic year. Students also need to equip their computers with an Ethernet card, which can cost between $50 and $250.
Demand for dial-in accounts also has grown among off-campus students and residents of non-Ethernet halls.
Jerree Catlin, supervisor of training at the computer center, said in the past three years the center has increased the number of phone lines for dial-in

accounts from 56 to 352.
Dial-in access costs $30 for six months, and residents receive 50 hours per month, said Theresa Bateson, technical services coordinator at the computer center. These accounts require computers with modems which can be purchased for $75-$250 depending on the speed of the modem.
Students without personal computers who still want e-mail access can get an account free at the computer center, located next to Robinson Gymnasium.
Campus crooks beware: City streets are no refuge
Local, KU police share jurisdictions
Students can not just step off campus if they are trying to get away from University of Kansas police authority, KU police said.
- Mary Corcoran Kansan staff writer
Joint jurisdiction areas set up between Lawrence and the KU campus extend the University's police authority to off-campus areas.
"Some students think that we stop them outside of our area if we clock them speeding on 19th by Stauffer Place and pull them over passed Naismith," KU police Sgt. Chris Keary said.
north curb line of 18th Street.
The actual area of KU police jurisdiction continues off-campus on 19th Street between Iowa Street and Naismith Drive. On Naismith Drive, it continues from the south curb line of 19th Street to the
In fact, on police jurisdiction maps, the KU campus actually extends to contain all streets directly adjacent to any University owned street, building or property.
"That makes the Wheel part of our area, because it's right next to a building the University owns," Keary said.
KU police responsibility also includes University owned property such as the Sunflower Ordinance Plant Area, the Nelson Environmental Research Area and the Lawrence Airport.
Although students can be arrested on University property, they can be tried in only the county and municipal courts.
The University does not have its own court system, Keary said, so court appearances for suspects arrested by the KU police take place in the Douglas County Courthouse. Prisoners also are initially taken to the county jail before they can post bond.
If a student is arrested on campus, the report goes through the KU police department and is then sent to the county office for processing.
To avoid confusion between the departments, the city regulated its area into three jurisdictions. One includes the University campus in which the KU police department has primary law enforcement responsibility. A different jurisdiction covers the city of Lawrence in which the Lawrence police department has primary responsibility. In the joint areas between the two, both departments have equal responsibility.
The Douglas County Sheriff's Office, Lawrence and KU police departments also have a mutual response agreement, Lawrence police dispatchers said. The agreement allows Lawrence or KU police to respond to the same call if one patrol car happens to be closer than another or if the incident is major enough to require additional resources.

'Hawk tags may never see daylight
License-plate program faces tight deadline, low interest
By Daniel Ethan Thompson Kansan staff writer
The vanity license plate featuring the Kansas Jayhawk might be shot out of the sky.
Under an amended Kansas law, Regents universities can sell vouchers for up to $100 that can be exchanged for a license plate featuring the school's mascot.
The KU Alumni Association, which is overseeing the program at the University of Kansas, has placed a deadline on the program to push people to purchase the plates.
Five hundred vouchers must be bought by Sept. 16 or the program will be scrapped, said Kay Henry, vice president of the association.
"We're at about 360 right now." she said.
If the program is unsuccessful, money will be returned to those who bought vouchers.
The association was charging $50 annually for the voucher, Henry said, and at least $45 from each license plate sold would go to the Rock Chalk Society for Academic Excellence in the Kansas University Endowment Association.
"Very few people at the University have signed up," she said.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway said he would buy one, but his form was at home.
"My wife is filling it out." he said.
Hemenway said he wished the University could have put together a program that would not be as expensive for the consumer.
"But I'm going to bite the bullet because it supports academics and the Jayhawks," he said.
Kansan basketball coach Roy Williams' car won't have a Jayhawk plate. Nor will Kansas football coach Terry Allen's or any other athletic courtesy car supplied by the Athletic Department, said Shirley Nieder, athletic department administrative assistant.
The department pays for Williams and other coaches' automobiles, license plates and property taxes in the department's name, Nieder said. She said the athletic department did not plan to purchase the vanity plates.
But Hemenway said he had people investigating whether the University's motor pool must have official yellow-and-brown sunflower plates or whether the vehicles could get the Jayhawk plates. He also encouraged people to buy the plates before the Sept. 15 deadline.
"Those who buy it will be supporting scholarship funds at KU," Hemenway said. "I think that's something people should consider."

Festival bellies beer interest

Brew Fest to feature suds, song and food
Kansan staff writer
The Action Alliance will tap off its first Home Brew Fest on Friday for a night of beer, bands and food in the setting of a 19th-century barn.
In addition to sampling beer from six microbreweries and 21 individuals at $1 a pint, festival goers will see three local bands: t*shirt, Fear & Whiskey and Jeffery Lee & the Pale Moon Kings. Festivities begin at 8 p.m.
Kip Curtis is the co-coordinator for the Action Alliance, an activist group composed of several campus organizations.
He said that the night would be an opportunity for people to have fun in an outdoor environment while learning about various local activist groups. The Brew Fest will be at Shirk's barn, three miles
He said that he began his home brewing hobby last year.
But Dave Bruchmann, Barrington, Ill., senior, is not attending the event for activist group information.
It is the first home-brew competition in Lawrence, Curtis said. Tables will be set up providing information on local organizations.
Bruchmann is one of five Lawrence residents entering his brew in the competition.
north of Lawrence.
This was his first opportunity to put his Hefe-Wiezen, a German-style wheat beer, in a judge's mouth.
If his beer advances past the preliminary round of judging and is one of the top three beers in the Hefe-Weizen category, he could advance to the final round of judging and win the Best of Lawrence category.

Proceeds from the night's events benefit the Action Alliance and other local activist groups that helped organize the event.

SUA seeking active students for committees
Orientation meeting tonight in Kansas Union Ballroom
By Corrie Moore
Kansan staff writer
For KU students looking to get involved this year, Student Union Activities is holding a committee orientation meeting at 7.
Union Activitiat ion meeting at 7 tonight in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
Michelle Dennard Chapman senior and SUA president, said anyone was welcome to attend the meeting as an opportunity to become active at the University.
"It's a lot of fun and a good way to meet people with similar interests." she said.
SUA Meeting
In the past, SUA has sponsored campus events including speakers such as Kurt Vonnegut, musical groups such as Pearl
Student Union Activities will meet at 7 tonight in the Kansas Union Ballroom. One goal of the meeting is to recruit new members for SUA's seven committees.
The committees are:
Live music
Special events
Recreation Feature films
Recreation and travel
Feature films
- Spectrum films (avant-garde, classic and cult movies)
Jam and comedians such as Adam Sandler.
Forums Fine arts
It also has organized student trips to Chicago, Florida and New Orleans.
Dennard said she enjoyed working with SUA because of the opportunity to interact with celebrities. When famous speakers and performers come to the University, SUA members show them around campus and try to make them feel at home, she said.
Participating in SUA does not have to be a major commitment and usually does not interfere with classes, she said.
Tonight's meeting will address upcoming events and provide information about the seven SUA committees available for students to join.
Students who wish to join a committee may fill out applications and select a specific committee on which to work.
Joshua Mermis, Houston senior and vice president of membership development, will run the meeting. He said he would talk about SUA's history and how the organization works.
The four officers of SUA are Dennard; Mermis; Kerr y Hillard, Alma senior, vice president of University relations; and Christy Lamble, Overland Park senior, vice president of alumni relations.
The meeting, which is for prospective members as well as returning members, will last about an hour and refreshments will be served.

Trail maintenance falls on Lawrence's shoulders
City responsible for upkeep of bike, walking path
By Ann Premer
Kansan staff writer
The South Lawrence Trafficway Bicycle and Pedestrian Trail should be pothole-free for cyclists, skaters, walkers and joggers.
The Lawrence City Commission decided last night that the city would be responsible for the upkeep of the path.
The maintenance of the trail, which was dedicated July 31, will include minimal mowing and maintaining the path's surface and signs, said David Corliss, city director of legal services.
The five-mile trail, which cost $1,225,000, was financed through a transportation enhancement project. The Kansas Department of Transportation paid for 80 percent of the the project with federal funds, and Douglas County and Lawrence each paid for 10 percent of the trail, said Harold Benoit, transportation enhancement project administrator.
Matt Caldwell, Lawrence senior and KU Environs member, said that the trail was well-suited for recreation, but said the city needed bike trails for alternate transportation.
The trail, which starts near 31st and Iowa streets, is 10 feet wide and lined with shoulders.

member of the KU Cycling Club, said the trail was safe and clean. He said there were no potholes or slick spots, which made for a worry-free ride.
Construction on the next phase of the path is scheduled to begin next month and should be completed by early next year, said Doug Stephens, Douglas County inspection supervisor.
In other business, the commission voted unanimously to delay demolishing three east Lawrence homes for 30 days. If the homes do not meet city code's after the 30 days, they will be demolished.
Also, the commission delayed the razing of a house at 909 Pennsylvania. A Lawrence group wants to restore the 19th-century home and move it to Hobb's Park to serve as a visual reminder to the past.
After listening to public comments about downtown parking, the commission decided to forego action until more information was gathered.
Ragweed sprouting tears
By Sarah Chadwick Kansan staff writer
Those long, hot walks to class are getting worse for some University of Kansas students. Ragweed, the most common seasonal allergy, is at its peak and it is aggravating the mucus membranes of the allergic.
"In August, September and even early October, some weeds produce allergens. Ragweed is the most common," said Randall Rock, Wattkins Memorial Health Center chief of staff. "We're nearly in peak season now."
Ragweed may also irritate people with asthma, making their breathing problems more severe, and weaken the immune system.
Ragweed typically causes runny noses, itchy and watery eyes, congestion of the upper and sometimes lower respiratory system and fatigue, Rock said.
"When the mucus membranes are inflamed, like they are when irritated by ragweed, it makes you more susceptible to other viruses and infections," Rock said.
While avoiding ragweed is not
wholly possible for those walking on campus there are things that can help ease the effects.
"Minimize your exposure to the allergen," Rock said. "This may mean keeping your windows closed and letting the air conditioner filter the air. After sleeping with the windows open, you may wake up with a stuffy nose and an achy head if you're bothered by raweed."
Deb Howes, coordinator for the Center for Peer Health Promotion, suffers from ragweed every fall. She suggested a way to reduce its effects.
"A doctor recommended to me that instead of showering in the morning, shower at night," Howes said. "That way the pollen gets on you during the day. Then you shower instead of going inside, laying down on your pillow and making yourself more miserable at night."
Showering at night washes the allergens out of hair and off the body so they are not transferred to couches, chairs and pillows, she said. This minimizes ragweed's effects indoors.
Facts about ragweed
Ragweed is most prevalent during August, September and October.
It irritates the eyes, nose and lungs and may cause fatigue.
Over-the-counter medicine can ease its effects.
Non-sedating prescription medicine are available for a higher price.
Over-the-counter medications are available, as well as prescription medications that are non-sedating.
"A nasal steroid spray may also work," Rock said. "A spray, which you take before the onset, stabilizes mucus membranes, preventing a runny nose and itchy eyes from developing. For people with lots of problems, that's a good choice."
Republican high on marijuana research
The Associated Press
SACRAMENTO (AP) — Attorney General Dan Lungren, lampooned in the comic strip "Doonesbury" for raiding a marijuana buyer's club in San Francisco, said yesterday he'll support a three-year study of the drug's medical value.
The conservative Republican was a vigorous opponent of last November's Proposition 215, which legalized the cultivation, possession and use of marijuana for medicinal purposes.
"Although I still believe Proposition 215 was a dumb idea, and that most voters didn't know about the legalization agenda that was behind it ... the voters in California have made it clear that they want — in the words of the initiative — 'seriously ill Californians to have the right to obtain and use marijuana for medical purposes,'" Lungren said. "That's a reasonable and rational position to take."
But it leaves unanswered the question of when marijuana use might be appropriate, and what conditions the drug might help
treat, Lungren said. He added that the study will help answer those questions.
He joined Democratic state Sen. John Vasconcellos yesterday, one of the Legislature's most liberal members, in supporting legislation authorizing and funding the research.
The bill would create a Marijuana Research Center at a campus of the University of California and would fund it with about $1 million a year for three years. Private donations would also be accepted.

Rock'n' Roll, kisses keep Clintons on dance floor during 3-week trip
First couple vacation at Martha's Vineyard
OAK BLUFFS, Mass. — Most of the guests had left, the parking lot nearly had cleared and the waiters had gone, but President and Mrs. Clinton partied on, singing rock 'n' roll tunes and sharing kisses on the dance floor.
The Associated Press
"It was party, party, party. After that, they may want to rest up — at least their vocal cords," said White House representative Josh Silverman yesterday, just hours after the first couple called it a night.
The Clintons continued their Martha's Vineyard vacation yesterday, with the president emerging later than usual — in early afternoon — from the 20-acre estate where the first couple are staying for three weeks.

spent a day on the property, reading and walking, while a refreshed-looking president hit the golf course before joining the dinner-party circuit for the seventh time in the 10 days.
"Too far right!" Clinton shouted after teeing on on the first hole in his fourth full round in a week. "It didn't go in the woods did it?"
Earlier, the Clintons closed the Farm Neck Golf Club, ending their night about 1 a.m., not long after the president requested a reprise of "In the Midnight Hour" and led stragglers in a swaying song.
The president's frequent golfing partner, attorney Vernon Jordan and his wife, Ann, organized the party under an open-air white tent with Christmas lights and torches. Salmon and tenderloin were served.
The 120 guests included island regulars Walter Cronkite, Diane Sawyer, Katharine Graham, politicians and administration officials
and Clinton friends, Sylvester Stallone read a speech from his new movie, "Copland," but the music was the main entertainment.
The president, a rhythm and blues afficionado, spent much of the five-hour evening standing in front of the Gordon Healy band, requesting song after song and clapping, singing and dancing, mostly with his wife. Several times, the dances ended with a Clinton embrace and a kiss.
Besides Wilson Pickett's "In the Midnight Hour," the 51-year-old Clinton also asked for the artist's "Mustang Sally." Showing his age, Elvis tunes were a favorite, including "Heartbreak Hotel" and "Hounddog," as well as Beatles' songs such as "Yesterday" and "Let It Be."

Book shows child pornography, Wichitans protest
The protesters said they would not leave until the stores stopped selling the book and local law-enforcement officials took legal action.
WICHITA — A citizens group protesting the sale of a book it claims constitutes child pornography said it would continue to fight until the books were pulled from the shelves.
The Associated Press
Carrying bright orange signs, the protesters set up camp outside two Wichita bookstores Monday and outside a fund-riser for Rep. Todd Tiahrt, R-Kan., yesterday to protest Jock Sturges' photography book, "The Last Day of Summer," which features poses of naked children.
The $65, 200-page book shows children and teen-agers posing on mountains, in streams and in a bed. Critics call the book child pornography.
"We know the child pornography statutes, and there's no doubt in our mind that action needs to be taken," said Lois Cunningham, a member of the ad hoc citizens group. "We're committed to staying here until something changes."
the protesting group, which has about 250 members, has been critical of Sedgwick County District Attorney Nola Foulston and U.S. Attorney Jackie Williams for not taking legal action.
Officials for Borders Books and Barnes & Noble, the targets of the protest, said that the book had artistic merit and that the stores would

Ski instructor tells of days buried by landslide rubble
SYDNEY, Australia — For a moment, when he realized his wife Sally lay dead beside him in the icy mud of a landslide, Stuart Diver wanted to die, too.
"Get it over with,' I thought," said Diver, the sole survivor of a July 30 landslide at a ski lodge that killed 18 people, including two Americans. "If you're going to take me, just do it. Cover me up and make it quick."
But the 27-year-old ski instructor also credited the memory of his wife for providing him with the spirit to survive 65 hours buried alive.
"In my heart, I know that it was Sally's will, her resilience of spirit, that gave me the strength I needed to hold out, to hold on, when all logic told me hope had vanished," he said.
Diver yesterday gave the first detailed accounts of his ordeal, which started when a landslide swept one ski lodge onto another at
Diver survived three days trapped in the icy water, with frostbitten feet as his only serious injuries.
On July 30, a noise like an explosion woke the couple, seconds later the world around them collapsed.
Both survived the initial impact, and for a few seconds, Diver struggled to help his sobbing wife, whose body was pinned to the bed and whose head pointed down the mountain.
"She was screaming, and then I heard the water coming," Diver said of the agonizing minutes as his wife drowned. Trapped in a barely man-sized cavity next to his dead wife, death seemed a good option.
But anguish turned to anger and that, along with knowledge of relatives waiting outside, steeled his determination to survive.
"I couldn't let them down. not
when I had come so far." he said.
Diver gradually lost feeling in his feet and became hungry and thirsty. Hallucinating periodically, fantasy and reality became difficult to distinguish.
"I could hear the work going on above me and I knew they were searching for people, he said. "They had to be. I could hear the machinery, the choppers. Even conversations. No matter how much I shouted or what noise I made, I couldn't make them hear me."
Rescuers first discovered Diver using sensitive sounding equipment.
Early on Aug. 2, firefighter Steve Hirst called out. "Is anyone there?"
"That was the moment I came back to life." Diver said.
Rescuers intensified their efforts, fearing more landslides. First physical contact came hours later, when paramedic Paul Featherstone poked a hand through a hole punched in the concrete wall. After more hours of digging, Diver was pulled free.
South African leader resigns
The Associated Press
CAPE TOWN, South Africa — Former President F.W. de Klerk, who shared the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize for his role in dismantling apartheid, resigned yesterday as leader of the party that created it.
De Klerk is quitting politics to give his party a chance to regroup before the 1999 elections. Divided and in disarray, the party is trying to stay alive in a drastically changed political landscape.
"With my retirement, I wish to open a door for the National Party to provide further proof of its dynamic break with the past," de Klerk told reporters.
Party officials said the 61-year-old de Klerk would stay on until a new leader was chosen on Sept. 9.
When he became president in 1969,
de Klerk was viewed as a moderate expected to protect apartheid. Instead, he declared that white domination would have to disappear, otherwise there would never be peace in South Africa.
Mandela said he hoped the country would remember how de Klerk, who freed him from 27 years in prison, helped bring about a peaceful transformation.
"Whatever mistakes he may have made, and it is possible that he has made very fundamental mistakes as many of us have done, I hope South Africa will not forget the role he has played," Mandela said.
De Klerk and Mandela shared the
1993 Nobel Peace Prize.
De Klerk, the scion of generations of conservative Afrikaner stock, could never bring himself to condemn apartheid outright. He has described it as a well-meaning concept that started out with great idealism.
But he said he had realized apartheid could not work and decided a peaceful handover of power was preferable to violent revolution.
The National Party has been hit hard by internal divisions and defections by some more moderate members, led by Roelf Meyer, the government negotiator during the transition to black majority rule.
Meyer has announced plans to form a new party Sept. 27 with former African National Congress stalwart Bantu Holomisa, who was expelled from the ANC for criticizing party officials.

Try someone else's shoes besides Nike's
Welcome to the most recent branch of Nike University.
With shoe corporations signing lucrative deals with universities and professional teams, I don't like what I see in the business of sports.
More than two weeks ago, Chancellor Robert Hemenway said Nike was not interested in plastering the swoosh across campus.
"Their primary concern is that the logo be on
I think. Tenemway said, "Some corporate sponsors are interested in signage. They are not. What means the most to them is having athletes in competition with logos on the jerseys and pants."
Signage.
P. B. ROGERS
What better way to showcase your product than to having the swoosh on the jerseys and pants, making the Kansas football team one giant, walking billboard?
Tommy Gallagher
tgallagher@konsan.com
Associate Sports Editor
Then there's all the
photo opportunities beyond the obvious revenue sports.
As the school newspaper, we cover Kansas' non-revenue sports better than anyone else. That also means that if we have a photo to accompany a story about women's soccer, chances are you'll see a swoosh on the woman's practice shirt as she attempts a slide tackle.
Back to Nike
Note. I don't care that the Spice Girls have a "GeneratioNext" commercial for Pepsi. I refuse to drink what Hemenway has chosen for us. I have nothing against Coca-Cola, but I do appreciate freedom of choice.
Nike and the Steelers signed a deal making Nike the exclusive team supplier.
Now comes confirmation that Nike can alter a team's marketing scheme. They did so for one of the NFL's most traditional franchises — the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Apparently my No. 95 Greg Lloyd jersey and "Terrible Towel" are both outdated.
The Steelers then gave their jerseys, which had not been altered since the 1950s, a new look with some help from Nike. Then they redesigned the famous "Terrible Towel," adding the swoosh and making other minor changes to the towel.
I know those changes were made in a partnership to attract younger fans who will follow the team for years to come. And I know that the business side of sports is quickly becoming more and more important.
But a new jersey, a change in color scheme and Nike apparel will not keep a solid core of fans around if that team loses year after year. The most marketable teams today — the Chicago Bulls, Green Bay Packers, Colorado Avalanche, etc. — are those who have built winning traditions and have the championships to prove it.
While the Nike deal has put a grin on the faces of Kansas administrators and coaches, I worry about the long-term implications of the deal.
I wish I could read the sports page as an avid sports fan instead of having to read "The Wall Street Journal," wondering if Nike has added another team or school to its dynasty.
Recruit commits to Kansas hoops
The Associated Press
Boschee, a high school senior and two-time all-state selection, was a first-team pick after his junior year. The 6-foot guard averaged 25 points, four assists and two steals a game.
Valley City guard Jeff Boschee has verbally committed to play basketball for the University of Kansas.
"I just liked Kansas, and I always wanted to play for them." Bosche said.
Dean Buchan, Kansas sports information director, said it violated NCAA rules for the program to comment on a reported commitment. He said the program can comment only after receiving a signed commitment.
Bosche will sign a letter of intent in November. In three games at the Nike All-American Camp this summer, he scored 40, 25 and 22 points.
Johner gains confidence at helm
Security of starting spot takes away distractions, frees quarterback's mind
Tommy Gallagher
tgallagher@kansan.com
Associate sports editor
Kansas senior Matt Johner said he has found renewed confidence as a starting quarterback since Kansas football coach Terry Allen came to Lawrence last January.
Johner, who competed for the starting spot with then-senior Ben Rutz last season, said he's eager to show Jayhawk fans what he can do.
"At quarterback, you can never concern yourself with whether a mistake here or there will get you pulled out of a game," Johner said. "Whatever happens happens. I think we can sneak up on people, like we did two years ago, and make something happen this season."
Not since Chip Hillary started at quarterback from 1990 to 1992 has someone repeated as the season-opening starter. Johner is scheduled to repeat as the Jayhawks' starting quarterback when the team plays Alabama-Birmingham at 7 tomorrow night at Memorial Stadium.
Johner started seven games last season. He completed nearly 52 percent of his passes for 1,232 yards, 10 touchdowns and four interceptions.
When a postseason bowl bid was nothing more than a dream, Rutz started the last four games and Johner became the backup. Johner saw playing time in three of those four games.
Johner said that while last year was stressful, Allen has brought a new attitude to his quarterbacks.
"At quarterback, you can never concern yourself with whether a mistake here or there will get you pulled out of a game."

back
"Being named the starter and knowing that I won't be pulled after a mistake or two, that gives me confidence," Johner said. "Last year we were in competition every week, every practice for the starting spot. I won't be second-guessing myself this year."
Regardless, Allen said the race between Johner and sophomore Zac Wegner was won by the slimmest of margins.
"We had an excited battle this fall at the quarterback position," Allen said. "Matt's riding the pony as compared to the stallion at this point. But Matt has the confidence of his teammates and of the coaching staff, so we will expect him to succeed now that he has the reins."
"Since I'm the senior, I'm going to be looked upon to step up and make things happen," Johner said. "We have a lot of guys who have to keep their heads straight and make the proper checks. We just have to work through it together so we can become a stronger offense and a stronger team."

Coach relying on returning starters, expects to finish in top half of the Big 12
By Matt Gardner
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
After three seasons as coach of the Kansas volleyball team, Karen Schonewise is ready to see her program rise to the top.
"This year and next year are pretty key years for us as in terms of where we are headed with our program," Schonewise said. "We saw great strides happening over the course of last year, and we're really excited to get out and start competing and see where we stack up against other teams."
Coming off a 10-24 season, the best in the Schonewise era, Kansas has set its goals high.
"We want to finish in the top half of the conference, qualify for the NCAA tournament and play at a consistent level. Last year we played very well at times and very poor at times and we just want to play at a consistent level.
"Most of the times last year, when we had opportunities to be successful in matches, we were beating ourselves," she said.
The squid returns 12 players from last year, including all six starters.
(2)
Yet, with two days until Kansas opens its
season at the Nevada-Reno Tournament,
the starters still are not set for this year.
Laura Rodhe, a 5-foot 9 junior, will return for her second season as the startling setter.
Kendra Kahler will return for as the right-side hitter. The 5-foot-11-inch senior, ranks ninth all-time for kills in a season with 348
and recorded the fourth most block assists in school history with 89.
Moira Donovan and Mary Beth Albrecht will play outside for Kansas.
Donovan enters her junior year after an impressive sophomore year. She was named Big 12 Conference player of the week
and to three all-tournament teams.
Albrecht, a sophomore, led the team in service aces and ranked third on the squad with 2.83 kills per game.
The middle blocker positions are not set. Senior Maggle Mohrfeld and sophomores Amanda Reves and Anne Kreimer are batting for the startine spots.
"They all three have different strengths and it may just depend on the opponent and what we need out of that position to determine who starts." Schonewise said.
Schonewise said the players worked hard at competing for positions.
"We have a lot more depth on the team this year, so it's exciting because they're fighting for positions and really pushing each other." she said.
Bringing back 12 players could be the Jay hawks biggest strength
"We have a lot of seniors and juniors who have a lot of playing time under their belts. We have great leadership and we have experience in the conference and know now what to expect." Schonewise said
Schonewire expects Nebraska, Texas and Texas A&M to lead the Big 12, but said the Jayhawks would be competitive if consistency holds up.
"We know we've improved a lot, we just need to be able to get out there and compete." Schonewise said.
Kansas starts the season in Reno this weekend competing against the University of Oregon, the University of Nevada-Las Vegas and the University of Nevada-Reno.

Golf teams hope to ace Big 12
By Jason Franchuk sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
Men's golf coach Ross Randall, who returns with an experienced team that includes its top player from a year ago, said he expected his team to return to the national-contention caliber of two seasons ago when the team qualified for the NCAA finals.
"Last year this team was really young," said Randall, who is entering his 18th year as head coach. "We are a year older now, and I am really looking forward to working with this squad."
The Jayhawks earned fourth place in Big 12 Conference play in the spring.
The team's top player, Chris Thompson, averaged a score of
73. 9.per round last season to place fifth in the Big 12 tournament. He also was an all-conference selection.
"Chris hits the ball a long way and is a very intense competitor," Randall said. "He will definitely be in contention for an individual title in the Big 12."
Thompson will join sophmores Ryan Vermeer and Brad Davis. The team sends five golfers to compete, with four scores counting in competitions.
Randall said the final two spots on the team had not been determined.
"We have some good young golfers coming up and everyone else is fighting for the final two spots and scholarship money," said Randall.
The team is allocated four and a

half scholarships.
The men open the season Sept. 22 and 23 with the Kansas Invitational at Alvamar Golf Course.
Of the 11 golfers on the women's team who will return from spring play, eight are from outside Kansas, including two of the squad's top three players, juniors Beth Reuter and Lori Laurenits.
Top newcomers Jamie Tucker
and Ashely Bishop also were sought after intensely by coach Jerry Waugh.
The first tournament for the women's team is Sept. 21-23 at the Northwest Invitational in Corvallis, Ore.
"These girls excelled in junior golf and were highly recruited across the nation," Waugh said. "We feel very fortunate to have them here at Kansas."
Primarily a PAC-10 tournament, the meet features Southern California, the University of California at Los Angeles and host Oregon State.
"We'll line everybody up and see who is playing well," Waugh said. "We plan to have qualifications for the open positions."
Both teams begin practice September 8.
Football players stay on Iowa State roster
The Associated Press
AMES, Iowa — Coach Dan McCarney said yesterday he would not suspend two Iowa State football players charged with simple assault in the beating of a fellow student earlier this month.
Story County authorities charged Matt Rahfaldt, a senior offensive guard from Ames, and Matt Rysavy, a senior tight end from Omaha, Neb.
They are accused of beating Craig Heithoff, an Audubon junior, in the early morning of Aug. 1 at a bar near the Iowa State campus.
McCarney said he had not learned of the charges until Monday but knew of the incident because the two players had told him about it after it happened.
He said both would remain on the team for Saturday night's season opener with Oklahoma State.
"Based on the information we
IOWA STATE
CYCLONES
have, and I h ave addressed this thoroughly. I'm not going to suspend these kids for this
game or any game in the future at this stage, "McCarney said.
"If I feel additional action is warranted in the future, I won't hesitate to address this issue further," he said.
McCarney declined further comment.
Rahalfdt, a 6-foot-3, 286-pounder, is Iowa State's starting left guard.
The 6-1,250-pound Rysavy is a reserve who plays mainly on special teams.
According to court documents, Rahfaldt, Rysavy and three others knocked Heithoff to the floor and then kicked him in the face, chest, head, shoulders and stomach.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Linebacker Derrick Thomas, around whom the Kansas City Chiefs redesigned their defense, has begun practicing this week and may be ready for the season opener Sunday at Denver.
The eight-time Pro Bowl linebacker did not play in any of the Chiefs' four exhibition games after he injured his left triceps early in training camp.
He had been practicing with a brace on the arm and may be limited to pass-rushing duties, coach Marty Schottenheimer said yesterday.
"He worked yesterday. We're not going to know his role until later in the wesk." Schottenheimer said. The Chiefs went to a 3-4 defense this year with three down linemen and what they call the "Falcon," who roams from left to right, sometimes down in a stance and sometimes not, rushing the passer sometimes, sometimes dropping back in coverage.
about him playing the whole game, we would feature him as the designated pass-rusher and use him only in the nickel. "Schottenheimer said."
"I think Derrick will play (on Sunday). If we have any concerns at all
Thomas may be prompted to recover in time for the Denver game because he does not want to be sidelined when his buddy Neil Smith makes his debut against Kansas City as defensive end for the Broncos. A four-time Pro Bowl selection, Smith was not offered a contract by the Chiefs and signed at Denver. Keith Traylor, another former Chiefs' defensive lineman, also signed a free-agent contract with the Broncos.
Smith, who was upset about not being offered a contract by Kansas City, has said he expected Schottenheimer to run right at him and try to "pump the Chiefs up" against him.
"This isn't about us and Smith," Schottenheimer said. "This is about us and the Denver Broncos. We're going to put a tight end in there and let the tight end help block him. We're going to put a back in there and let the back help block him.
"We're going to know where he is on every play. We may have two guys on him on every play. Yeah, we're going to run at him. And we're going to run away from him."

Akron Zips preparing to challenge 'Huskers
By Andy Resnik The Associated Press
AKRON, Ohio — Not too many people would care to be walking in Lee Owens' shoes right now. Pacing might be more like it.
He's the coach of the Akron Zips and his main worry in Saturday's first game of the season is not so much how to win it but how he and the players can survive it — mentally and physically.
The Zips, perennially a seconddivision team in the Mid-American Conference, play sixth-ranked Nebraska of the Big 12 Conference. The game is in Lincoln, Neb., but the Cornhuskers' homefield advantage is hardly a factor.
Despite being 56-point underdogs, Owens said his players aren't intimidated.
N Huskers
"The fact that we're playing Nebraska is good," he said. "It's helped our players keep their focus. Our players have not
seemed too anxious or intimidated or in awe about playing the game."
But Owens isn't offering any bold
predictions of defeating the 1994 and 1995 national champions.
Akron (4-7 last season) has played at larger schools before — Kansas State and Virginia Tech in 1995 and Illinois in 1996. The Zips lost all three games by a combined score of 182-34.
Nebraska has won 36 consecutive games in Memorial Stadium, but the streak doesn't worry Owens. He's more concerned about the noise coming from a sea of red 75,000 strong.
"We can't beat Nebraska tradition and mystique," Owens said.
"We don't have a chance if we play
it that way."
Nebraska coach Tom Osborne, who has 236 more career victories than Owens, watched film of Akron's 21-18 home loss last season to Virginia Tech, who the Cornhuskers played on even terms through three quarters, beating them in the Orange Bowl last December.
"Akron played on equal footing with them," Osborne said. "It's not a comfortable game for me to play in many ways because so much is expected."
"All schools in the Mid-American Conference are looking for ways to balance the budget," Owens said. "For me to say it's not an issue would not be true. It's the nature of our league."
The Zips receive $450,000 from Nebraska to play in Lincoln. The Zips' average home attendance last year was 7,418, the lowest it's been since 1958, so the payday is essential.
Gators' season to feature new quarterback, tough opponents
The Associated Press
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Aside from his $2 million contract, this must feel like Steve Spurrier's first game as head coach of Florida.
Not only is he curious about how his vaunted "Fun N' Gun" offense will perform with a quarterback making his first start, but the second-ranked Gators finally play a season-opener against a team capable of beating them.
"Southern Miss is one of the best teams we've opened with in the eight years we've been around," Spurrier said.
"They're a good team that's coming with expectations to beat you," he said. "We're looking forward to opening up the season and trying to find out what kind
of team we've got."
Florida might be better off finding that out against The Citadel, which it plays next year, or Central Michigan, which it plays next week.
Five of its players will be serving one-game suspensions Saturday night for off-field incidents. Two are starters, the others make significant contributions. In addition, starting left tackle Zach Piller sprained his ankle last week in a scrimmage will sit out for at least three weeks.
The Gators begin defense of their first national championship behind sophomore quarterback Doug Johnson, who took only 70 snaps last year as the backup to Heisman Trophy winner Danny Wuerffel.
"I think he's ready to play."
Spurrier said. "He will make some mistakes. Hopefully, they're not the extremely bad plays, not interceptions for touchdowns or fumbles by the quarterback that you pick up and score.
Southern Miss isn't like some of the weaker teams the Gators have opened against - Arkansas State, San Jose State in 1991, New Mexico State in 1994, Southwestern Louisiana last year.
A year ago, Southern Mississippi won at Georgia in the first game and then lost to Alabama in the fourth quarter, 20-10.
"They've got a history of coming into an SEC ballpark and going away with a victory," Spurrier said. "From what we've heard, they have prepared all summer. They've got the countdown to play the Gators."

49ers sign linebacker for $13 mil
The Associated Press
The San Francisco 49ers, a team that has made a habit of plugging aging stars into an aging team, yesterday added Kevin Greene, the NFL's 1996 sack leader.
The 49ers and Greene, cut Sunday by the Carolina Panthers, reached agreement on a six-year deal worth $13 million. Only $350,000 of the deal will count against the 49ers' salary cap.
Greene also had been sought by the Cincinnati Bengals and Miami Dolphins.
San Francisco has used players such as Greene in the past - Deion Sanders, Rickey Jackson and Richard Duckett.
Last — Delon Sanders, Rickey Jackson and Richard Dent all 104 were hired by Dent 1994.

Super Bowl champions.
Because the 49ers play a 4-3
defense, Green probably
SF
would be used as a third-down pass rusher. Stopping the run is not his strength.
Cincinnati wanted Greene to provide experience at linebacker in its new 3-4 defense.
Without Greene, Cincinnati will use first-round draft pick Reinard Wilson, who was a defensive end at Florida State.
Greene, who had 14 1/2 sacks last season, is 55. He had been seeking to renegotiate a contract with Carolina worth between $1 million and $1.6 million this season, depending on incentives.
If Greene plays out this contract, he will be 41 when it ends, an unheard-of age for any NFL player but a quarterback or kicker.
But he won't.
Greene's agent, Leigh Steinberg, ensured that Greene would receive most of the money up front without hurting the team's salary-cap situation.
The contract contains a $750,000 signing bonus and a
$200,000 base salary this season.
There also are $550,000 in incentives and a $1.75 million base salary for next season, not including a $250,000 workout payable in March.
Earlier this summer, Steinberg, who has nine clients on the 49ers, renegotiated a deal for quarterback Steve Young that would pay Young, 36, $10 million next season.
Steinberg could renegotiate some of his other players if the 49ers need help fitting Greene under the cap. Elsewhere in the league, teams continued to make minor adjustments to rosters to fill holes.
The Dallas Cowboys released defensive lineman Leonard Renfro and were seeking a veteran linebacker to fill out an inexperienced group of five linebackers.
The New York Giants terminated guard Lance Smith, a 13-year veteran, to open a spot for a cornerback.
The Giants, who started the week with four cornerbacks, were down to two after starter Phillippi Sparks was diagnosed with viral hepatitis and backup Conrad Hamilton underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee.
Packers plan repeat of Super Bowl win
GREEN BAY, Wis. — Last season Green Bay Packers coach Mikc Holmgren banned the words "Super Bowl" from his players' vocabularies.
The Associated Press
This year, he has done nothing of the sort.
In fact, he talks about repeating every day.
"I'm never going to stop talking about it," Holmgren said. "I went up to each of my stars and said, 'Is one ring enough?'
After beating New England in the Super Bowl in January, the Packers have a chance to become part of the NFL's all-time elite. Five teams have won successive Super Bowls, but only the Pittsburgh Steelers have accomplished the feat twice
With one repeat already (Super Bowls I and II), the Packers could join that exclusive club in Januarv.
The Packers completed their first unbeaten, untied exhibition season in 30 years and enter their opener Monday night against Chicago with an incredible swagger.
"The Chicago Bulls pretty much know they've got it won every year. That's the way we want to be," LeRoy Butler said.
G
Butler, the strong safety who leads the team in experience and ebulence, said during training camp that the Packers could complete the NFL's first
The Packers do not think that notion means they are overconfident.
"My quotes are going to be different from everybody else's. They'll all say, 'Oh, we need to work on this, work on that.' That's bull," he said. "We just need to maintain, and we'll be all right."
Holmgren said: "We do feel that we can win every time we go out. I don't think that's a bad thing. In fact, I know it's a good thing."
unbeaten season in 25 years.
Two-time MVP Brett Favre said: "I'm not saying we'll win every game. But I don't think anybody will sneak up on us because we think we're too good."
Antonio Freeman, who emerged as a rising star during Brooks' absence, said the team had a right to be confident.
"We want to completely dominate teams," he said. "We want to stand out when our name is mentioned."
Vikings seek success
Team pulls together,aims to erase disappointments
The Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS—The excitement from his promising start in 1992-93 is long gone. The claims of off-field impropriety are fresher, yet those unpleasant memories are fading, too.
"You think about that in January, and that's it," he said in the middle of preparations for his sixth season. "Once February starts, it's a whole new season. ... It's not part of my thought process at all."
Dennis Green faces a nagging legacy with the Minnesota Vikings. He never has won a playoff game in his five seasons as head coach.
How much do the disappointment and hurt grow? A proud, private man, Green never tells.
No one blames Green for not wanting to look back, but this summer, he has had an even better reason for forgetting the past: The future is promising.
Coming off an injury-plagued 9-7 season that ended with a 40-15 playoff loss to the Cowboys, the Vikings have as much speed
and depth as at any time since Green took over.
The Vikings lack experience, are thin in the secondary and face a demanding schedule that begins with four of the first six games.
Football Helmet
the first six games on the road.
But the team hopes this will be the season Green gets rid of his reputation as a playoff loser. He probably has to to see another season as coach — despite a contract that guarantees him a paycheck, if not a job, through 1998.
"People say, 'Are we trying to save Denny's job?' No," said quarterback Brad Johnson. "It's more wanting to play for Denny. He's very organized, he communicates with us and he has a great respect level for us. You want to play for Denny."
"When you look at the last couple of years, we started out good and then we hit a decline. But every year's been an improvement," said third-year defensive end Derrick Alexander, who has recovered from a hip injury that limited him in the second half of 1996. "My first year we were 8-8. Last year we were 9-7. This year could be a 10-6 or an 11-5, and that's good enough to get you into the playoffs. And once you get there, then it's just a whole new ball game."
Pirates finishing strong at season's end
The Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — The low-budget Pittsburgh Pirates were compared to the Mets when the season began — Casey Stengel's 120-loss Mets of 1962.
Now, after another miraculous finish in a highly illogical season, the high-drama Pirates again have the look of the Mets — the Miracle Mets of 1969.
"Everything is like out of a movie — I mean 'Angels of the Outfield' or something," said Pirates outfielder Al Martin.
Held to one unearned run in 15 innings and down to their final
two outs, the Pirates rallied on successive homers by Joe Randa and Mark Smith off Todd Worrell to beat the Dodgers 4-3 Monday and split their doubleheader.
The victory kept the Pirates three games behind Houston in the National League Central. The two teams play five times in the final week of the season.
"It was another storybook finish in a storybook season," Randa said. "I think we're all running out of words to describe what's happening to us this season."

would seem to be dramatic enough.
Manager Jim Leyland left for Florida to manage a winner.
Now, the Pirates are wondering if they are destiniy's darling.
ing if they are destiny's darling. Smith's homer might have been the most dramatic in a Pirates' pennant race since Barry Bonds helped secure the 1991 National League East title with a game-winner off the Cardinals' Lee Smith.
Smith, cast off by both Baltimore and San Diego within the last year, has seven homers, nearly all of the homers critical.
"You get to the point where it's hard to describe what's happening to us," Randa said.

Golf cashes in on Tiger's roar
Interest in game has skyrocketed
By Ron Sirak The Associated Press
NEW YORK — In the year since he flashed his trademark smile and announced his professional career with a confident "Hello, world," Tiger Woods has unleashed a tidal wave of more than $650 million into the golf world.
Ticket sales shot up, TV ratings jumped, interest in the game increased, sales for his main sponsor took off and the spirits of tournament directors soared as they anticipated a spillover boom to events in which Woods does not play.
While golf was on a roil even before Woods announced in a faxed statement on Aug. 27, 1996, that he was turning pro, the difference now is that non-golfers are paying attention.
The new money brought to golf includes increases in TV contracts and sharp rises in ticket and merchandise sales, as well as Woods' record-setting endorsement deals.
This influx of new money conservatively totaled $653.5 million, according to tournament officials, TV and corporate executives and analysts interviewed by The Associated Press.
And that is not adding in increases in print and TV advertising, the effect of which will be felt down the road.
"He got them into the tent," said CBS Sports vice president for programming Rob Correia, whose network's golf ratings were up 24 percent this year. "Now, he doesn't have to be in contention. He has gotten them to sample the sport and they like what they see."
Clearly, Woods' youthful enthusiasm, intelligent charm, immediate success and ethnic background in an overwhelmingly white professional sport helped push golf from the corner of the sports stage into the spotlight.
At tournament after tournament this year, it was clear that many spectators were people who not only had never been to a tournament
At the PGA Championship this month, a college-age spectator wearing a Columbia University shirt said: "I'm in a pool. Can you tell me the names of four players beside Tiger I should pick?"
At Pebble Beach, a spectator asked a reporter "what the 'negative 13' next to Woods' name means."
before but also had never been on a golf course.
"I don't see it stopping," Correa said. "I don't think your ratings go up 24 percent in one year by getting golfers who in one year watching last year. The increase means people who aren't playing the game are watching."
That has long been the main limiting factor to golf audiences. Only those who played the game watched the game. In the United States, there are 25 million golfers, but only about 5 million avid golfers.
"Tiger has introduced golf to a new audience," said Dede Patterson, tournament director of the Buick Classic in suburban New York where advance ticket sales were up 35 percent this year because Woods was playing.
Woods has taken golf into uncharted monetary areas.
"I think that one of the things that was unique with Tiger, while he was long in coming, it was very fast in terms of what happened," said Alastair Johnston, head of the golf division at International Management Group, Woods' agents.
"Just the thought of Tiger boosts ticket sales." Patterson said.
"Spectators, media, sponsors were so fascinated with him," Johnston said. "Even with Palmer and Nicklaus, it was an evolutionary thing."
In 12 months as a pro, Woods has won more than $2.91 million worldwide and his $2.71 million on the PGA Tour is already in the top 90 on the career money list. He's made an another $1.2 million in appearance fees for events from Thailand and Australia to Pennsylvania, with Japan next in November.
A series of five-year endorsement deals with Nike, Titleist, American Express and Rolex are worth $95.2 million, according to various sources contacted by the AP. A part ownership situation with The Official All-Star Cafe makes Woods easily the $100 million man.
Nicklaus
He also has financial ties to Golf Digest and Sportsline, and a $2.2 million book deal with Warner Books.
Ticket sales this year at tournaments in which Woods played were up as much as 35 percent, according to tournament directors, and concession and souvenir sales increased as much as 28 percent.
Woods: Has increased golf's popularity
Based on an average ticket price of $22.50, an average concession expenditure of $9 per person and a $15 souvenir purchase, Woods conservatively has had a $1.13 million effect on the 10 tournaments he impacted the most.
Six of his events — the four major championships, the Players Championship and Phoenix — already were at or near capacity and not affected significantly.
"It's hard to attribute all of it to Tiger—golf is on an upswing way and he did play with Kevin Coster—but he did contribute to that."
And then there was television.
Russo, who is also chairman of the television committee and a member of the board of directors for the PGA Tour Tournament Association — an organization of tournament directors — said: "All the tournaments that had Tiger in them were up anywhere from 18 to 30 percent."
Last year, 19.4 million homes watched the final round of the four major championships. This year, the figure was 30.3 million — a 56 percent increase. And Woods was on the Sunday leaderboard only in the Masters, supporting Correna's theory that he has created new fans who watch even when he is not in contention.
Weekend television ratings for all golf — PGA Tour, Senior Tour and LPGA — were up 16.6 percent this year through the week of the PGA
Championship, showing the broad overall impact Woods has had.
"For advertisers, they have to look at a lot of those new people as potential customers," said CBS' Correa. "It means a lot of happy advertisers."
"Getting people to sample the product is what promotion does," he said. "Getting people to stay is what the quality of the product does."
While the increasing popularity of golf would no doubt have meant an increase in rights fees anyway, Woods' spectacular Masters performance put the tour in a great bargaining position. The final deal was worth $650 million, about $325 million more than the deal that expires after next season.
A mere month after Woods won the Masters in record fashion and drew nearly 40 million viewers for the final round, the PGA Tour had the good fortune of negotiating a new four-year TV deal that starts in 1999.
PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said that as a result of the increased TV revenue, the average tournament purse of $1.7 million this year will be "north of $3 million" in the year 2000 and average $3.5 million by the time the agreements expire at the end of 2002.
That would put the total prize money at $158.5 million in 2002, compared with $75.2 million this year.
The PGA also took advantage of the climate to extend its deal with CBS to televise the PGA Championship through 2005 for $36.4 million, more than doubling the annual payment of the previous deal.
As staggering as Woods' endorsement deals are, it oks as his backers got a bargain.
"I think when you consider Nike and Titleist, who are the only ones who have been associated with Tiger for the full year. I think they are delighted with the exposure and the profile," IMG's Johnston said. "Tiger has delivered on and off the course as well. They are in a fortune position. I think he has got the personality, commitment and the dedication for the long run."
Nike, whose golf division was a mere afterthought until it signed Woods to a five-year, $40 million deal, gained the most. Sales of its apparel increased 100 percent to $120 million in the fiscal year that ended May 31.

Hingis advances against pregnant opponent
NEW YORK — Cruel or not, Martina Hingis couldn't resist flicking drop shots against her pregnant fee.
Hingis didn't get to be No.1 by extending sympathy toward other players, so it was not surprising yesterday at the U.S. Open to see her pull out all her tricks against a 15-week pregnant Tami Jones in a 60-61 rout.
"When I read she was pregnant, I said, 'Well, OK, I'm going to face two opponents at one time.' Hingis said with a laugh. "It was weird playing someone who is pregnant. It's different.

"I only did two or three (drop shots)," she said. "I wasn't really sure if I wanted to do more. But she got some of them."
Jones — formerly Whitlinger-
Jones — had a little more roundness to her belly, was slower than usual and more out of breath. Her doctor told her it was safe to play as long as she drank lots of fluids to avoid dehydration, and on a warm, muggy day at the Open, Jones guzzled as much
"It was quite an experience," said Jones, who lost the first set in 16 minutes. "It was a bit intimidating concerning my condition, but my husband thought what a great way to go out, playing in the new Arthur Ashe Stadium, playing Martina Hingis. It's a good story for our child."
The 42-minute match was the last in singles for the 28-year-old Jones, who will play once more in doubles in her home state of Wisconsin before concentrating on motherhood and settling down in Cincinnati.
With her whole family in the stands, Jones went out with the idea of simply enjoying her last match, no matter the score.
"I kind of look at this as the end of this chapter in my life, and on to the next," Jones said. "I've been looking forward to having a family, so I see this as a nice way to probably end my career."
"I kind of joked with the baby and said, 'This is our debut,' and talked about how exciting it would be," Jones said. "It's definitely something to remember."
It was a day to forget for one of the former stars of the women's tour, Jennifer Capriati, who fell 6-1, 6-2 to No. 7 Conchita Martinez. As in so many other matches in her attempted comeback, Capriati lacked control and quickness as she sprayed 45 unforced errors — nearly twice as many as Martinez.
Capriati spoke again about her need to find a new coach in order to refine her game.
"I've just been waiting for the right person, someone I feel comfortable with," she said. "That person hasn't come along yet."
In other women's matches, No. 3 Jana Novotna, No. 4 Iva Majoli, No. 5 Amanda Coetzer, No. 9 Mary Pierce and No. 12 Mary Joe Fernandez all won in straight sets.
Aubrie Rippner, a 17-year-old Californian making her pro debut, beat Natalia Medvedeva 6.2-6.2.

Spain, who nearly knocked off Pete
Sampras in a magnificent four-hour
quarterfinal match last year in the
old stadium, needed four sets to beat
Marc Rosset.
"The first memories of the (Sampras match) was when I went to practice this morning," Corretja said. "I tried to practice on that court because it's so much different than the other ones. I remember match point, just when I fell down at the end of the match. It was kind of a tough situation. But it was funny. One year later, my tennis just improved a lot, so I have to go farther."
France beat No. 16 Albert Costa of Spain in straight sets.
Corretja said that after he lost that match most people thought he would never get another chance to prove himself as a top player.
"But I just turned it to the other face and said, 'OK, if I could stay here four hours playing with him at this level, why can I not be a good player?' " he said. "That helped me to see that my game was improving a lot, even on hardcourt."

Lewis sprints to victory in Berlin
The Associated Press
BERLIN — Carl Lewis finished his track-and-field career last night in typical fashion — with a victory and a smile.
Running his final competitive race in the same stadium where his idol Jesse Owens won Olympic glory 61 years ago, Lewis anchored a star-studded team to victory in the 400-meter relay to cap the Internationales Stadionest Track and Field Grand Prix meet.
"It was a fantastic farewell," said Lewis, the winner of nine Olympic gold medals and — some say — the greatest track athlete ever.
Nearly 60,000 fans gave Lewis a
standing ovation, and a group of fans lifted a sign that read: "Thank you for all the great moments, Carl."
Lewis' teammates in his last competitive race included Olympic 100-meter champion Donovan Bailey, former world recordholder Leroy Burrell and Namibian sprint champion Frankie Fredericks.
CLEVELAND
Lewis: Ends his competitive track-and field career.
Bailey, who set the world 100
record in Atlanta last summer, ran the first leg, handing off to Burrell, who passed the baton to Fredericks. On the final handoff, Fredericks gave Lewis a slight push in the back to send him to a 38.24 second victory.
"We are all going to be gone from the track some day. I miss you all," Lewis told the crowd. "I just want to say I love you and I'll never forget you. The thrill of competing never goes away, but the need to be first across the finish line is gone.
"How do you say goodbye? This huge crowd and running a relay with four of the fastest guys in history. That was just perfect."
Lewis will run one more race, an exhibition with Burrell and other
Santa Monica Track Club teammates at halftime of a college football game next month in Texas.
Earlier, Fredericks, Hicham El Guerroij of Morocco and Gabriella Szabo of Romania shared the richest single prize in track, a 44-pound jackpot of gold.
Fredericks surged in the final meters, winning the 100 in 9.99 seconds. El Guierrouli went away in the last lap to win the mile in 3:45.64. Szabo won the women's 5,000 in 14:44.35.
The gold, worth $200,000, goes to athletes who win their events at the Golden Four meets, which are held in Oslo, Norway; Zurich, Switzerland; Brussels, Belgium; and Berlin.
Fight, penalty shot derail U.S. soccer hopes
The Associated Press
CATANIA, Sicily — A soccer match between the United States and Italy turned ugly yesterday at the University Games. A player from each team was expelled for fighting before the hosts came through with a short-handed victory.
Despite playing the final 30 minutes with just nine players on the field, Italy defeated the United States 1-0 to reach the championship game.
At Palermo, Italy and the United States were tied 0-0 at the end of the first half when Italy's Eduardo Gorini and America's Scott Vermilion were expelled for fighting. Then. 15 minutes
into the second half, Italy lost another player when he received two quick yellow cards.
But just three minutes later, the hosts — urged on by 12,000 supporters — got a penalty kick when Caleb Porter pushed Michele Zeoli from behind in the penalty area. Gianni Califano, Italy's most active player during the game, calmly scored on the ensuing penalty shot.
"We knew if we played well, the crowd would appreciate us," said U.S. coach John Ellinger, whose squad will play Ukraine in the consolation game. "I couldn't be more proud of these guys. They are warriors, competitors. Come Friday, they will put everything they have into the
Italy will play defending champion South Korea in Friday's final. The South Koreans beat Ukraine 5-3 on tiebreaking shots after the game ended scoreless in regulation time.
bronze-medal match
U. S. athletes were more successful elsewhere. The men's basketball team recorded its 100th University Games victory, and American swimmers won five medals, including gold medals by Suzanne Black and the women's 800-meter freestyle relay team.
Nenna Lynch picked up the first U.S. medal on the track, winning the 5,000 in 15 minutes, 47.61 seconds.

Desert gathering to feature celebration of off-the-wall
"Theme camps" to attract thousands
The Associated Press
RENO, Nev. — In the blank expanse of the northern Nevada desert, a temporary city has arisen that will be home to artists, performers and free spirits drawn to what may be the ultimate anarchist party.
Burning Man, a festival that began 11 years ago on a San Francisco beach as a woeful tribute to scorned love, starts today and peaks Labor Day weekend with the torching of a 40-foot-tall wooden man in a barren desert basin.
"Events like this are kind of needed to go someplace and be really goofy," said Janico Reese, festival participant from Los Angeles. "It brings creative people together."
Thousands are expected to attend the esoteric mix of pagan fire ritual and sci-if Dada circus where participants paint their bodies, bang drums, dance naked and wear costumes that would draw stares in a Mardi Gras parade. Last year, one woman wore oil funnels on her breasts Madonna-style, with more funnels extending from her ears.
Festival founder Larry Harvey said, "We are, in terms of art jargon, outsider art."
Harvey is a Bay-area artist.
A mile-long esplanade will be lined with large-scale works, such as Jim Mason's "Temporal Decomposition," a large ice sandial with clocks and watches frozen inside. The melting sculpt-
ture will be covered with 50 gallons of cherry syrup and offered for communal licking.
Mason, a sculptor, said the event intrigued and inspired artists.
"The project has captured the imagination of a lot of people," he said. "Something is happening here."
What that something is — and the prospect of more than 15,000 people sprawled across the remote desert 150 miles north of Reno — worries Washell County officials.
The county imposed a list of conditions, including an $11 million insurance policy and advance money to pay for law enforcement and fire protection. Most of the conditions have been met.
The makeshift Black Rock City is a conglomeration of "theme camps."
"It will be a disaster if we let 10,000 to 15,000 people out there with no restrictions," sheriff Dick Kirkland said. "Whatever is going to happen out there is going to happen, so maybe we should figure the best way to manage it, to salvage it."
Themes include the "Alien Abduction Camp" and "Womb with a View," where, according to the program, "you walk through a 74-foot-long pregnant female body, complete with orifice entrance, torso and breasts." "Blowin' in the Wind" will attempt to create the world's largest wind chime.
NEVADA
Reno
Carson City
Las Vegas
Many of the creative works, along with the wooden man himself, are burned during the festival's finale after sunset on Sunday. Because of the burning, the
county demanded on-site firefighters.
The festival began in 1986 when Harvey built a man representing his girlfriend's new love and burned it on San Francisco's Baker Beach. The event was moved to Nevada's Black Rock Desert as the annual bonfire drew increasingly large numbers of people.
When 10,000 people showed up last year at a site on public land in northwest Arizona, commissioners worried that the festival was getting out of control.
Three people were injured, one critically, by a drunken driver who slammed into their tent. Another man was killed when his motorcycle ran into a van.
By holding the festival on a private ranch this year, organizers said they would be better able to control vehicles, which will be banned in camping areas.
Participants are warned to bring their own food, shelter and most importantly, lots of water. In late August, the desert is unforgiving, with daytime temperatures near 100 under a scorching sun and overnight lows in the 40s.
NEW YORK — Tupac Shakur, incarcerated before his birth and murdered before his 26th birthday, spent much of his life outside the side law. His tattoos proclaimed his philosophy: "Outlaw" on his left forearm and "Thug Life" across his torso.
The Associated Press
His death has changed that.
The gangsta rapper's unlikeliest legacy, forged in the year since his still-unsolved slaying, is legal, not musical — a litany of coast-to-coast litigation that could drag on for years.
Shakur lives on in lawsuits
Shakur lives on in the staid world of courtrooms and countersuits, law offices and legal papers. His posthumous alter ego is a white Manhattan attorney — Richard Fischbein, coexecutor of the Shakur estate.
Even Shakur's unreleased music — more than 150 songs, valued at $100 million — is tied up in a court battle. Fischbein said he expected more vultures to come out of the woodwork.
"Tupac has an estate," Fischbein explained bluntly. "He's dead. People see a pavday."
Fischbein and Afeni Shakur, who gave birth to the slain rapper one month after her acquittal in a 1971 conspiracy trial, became co-executors on Oct. 23, 1996. Since then, the flow of lawsuits has been as hard and relentless as Tumac's lyrics:
A $7.1 million suit by Death Row Records, suit demanding reimbursement for cash advances that Shakur allegedly used for cars, houses, jewelry and other expenses.
The estate filed a 41-page counter suit, accusing Dear Row of looting $50 million from Shakur to maintain the extravagant life-
"Tupac has an estate. He's dead. People see a payday."
Richard Fischbein
co-executor of the Shakur estate
styles of label head Marion "Suge" Knight and other executives.
More important than cash is control of at least two unreleased Shakur CDs and 152 additional unreleased songs. Death Row has custody of the master tapes. A Death Row spokesman and label attorney David Kenner both declined to comment on the legal fight. Knight is serving a nine-year jail term for a probation violation.
A $10 million lawsuit by C. DeLores Tucker, a virulent opponent of gangsta rap. Tucker, who once labeled Shakur's music pornographic smut, claimed lyrics on Tupac's 5 million-selling album "All Eyes on Me" so demeaning that it affected her sex life.
Two songs derisively mentioned Tucker by name. On one, "How Do U Want It," Shakur rapped: "DeLores Tucker, you'e a (expletive)/Instead of trying to help a nigga, you destroy a brother."
Tucker did not returns calls to her Washington office. But in her lawsuit, she alleged Shakur had caused her great humiliation, mental pain and suffering — and damaged her sexual relationship with her husband, William.
A contentious lawsuit by the rapper's father, William Garland, seeks 50 percent of Tupac's
estate. Afeni Shakur angrily charged that Garland was a gold digger who ignored his son for 18 years; Garland blamed her nomadic lifestyle for making it impossible to find Tupac.
"I'm the only person in here who lost somebody," Ms.Shakur said in early August. "He don't even know my son's birthday."
Garland's lawyer, Leonard Birdson, said Ms. Shakur was an egomaniac upset by publicity for Tupac's father. He also mentioned her past crack addiction and alcohol problems; Tupac had said those woes forced him to leave his mother's house at age 17.
Fischbein dismissed Garland as a deadbeat dad who gave his son "$500 and a bag of peanuts over the course of his life." Bird-song indignantly charged Fischbein with rewriting history. Garland filed suit only after Ms. Shakur twice submitted legal papers saying Tupac's father was dead, Garland says.
This parental struggle could give birth to another lawsuit. If he wins, Garland wants to be named the estate's co-executor.
A November 1996 court award of $16.1 million to Jacquelyn McNeale, who was shot and partially paralyzed at a 1993 Shakur concert in Pine Bluff, Ark. Fischbein is vigorously trying to set aside this judgment; the estate's Arkansas court papers carried the names of 17 attorneys and asserted that Shakur never was notified of this lawsuit.
A successful lawsuit by the estate to gain merchandising rights to Shakur's image. Previously, the estate received nothing from the lucrative sales of Shakur T-shirts, hats and other memorabilia.

Japanese citizens alarmed as number of violent crimes rise at alarming rate
The Associated Press
TOKYO — A woman is arrested after her husband's dismembered corpse is found rotting in their bath tub. A teen-age couple is caught trying to rob a bank. A confesses to randomly assaulting dozens of young women with stones, beer bottles and metal pipes.
And that was just last week.
Japan has an international reputation for safe streets, but this summer has been gruesome — and authorities fear the rise in violence is more than just a seasonal fluke.
The country has seen two of its biggest armored car heists during the past month. In one, robbers got away with $900,000. No arrests have been made.
Throughout the summer, headlines have chilled Japanese because of the frequency of the crimes and the cold-bloodedness displayed by
As for murders, Japan was shocked in June at the arrest of a 14-year-old Kobe boy suspected of killing two younger children.
Japanese long have taken a special pride in crime rates that are among the lowest of the industrialized nations. That sense of security is beginning to erode, however.
In July two men in their 20s were captured after the grisly murders of two young girls; and, this month, by the Bathtub Killing, so named because that is where most of the victim's body was found.
some criminals.
Police arrested a 20-year-old man this month for randomly assaulting dozens of young women in Tokyo. Assaults on homeless people in Tokyo have risen significantly, police said.
"Every day we see hateful murders, crimes against small children and women," read one typically outraged letter recently to the editor of a major newspaper.
"The Japanese used to think that security...could be taken for granted. With all the crime today, they are beginning to have...doubts."

In the meantime, a growing number of Japanese are buying personal safety devices, including mace sprayers disguised as lipstick cases and gadgets for children to send out an ear-splitting distress call.

"The Japanese used to think security was like water — that it could be taken for granted," said Shoichiro Takahashi, whose Toa Security Co. markets such goods nationwide.
"With all the crime these days, they are beginning to have some serious doubts."
Attacks on middle-aged or older men were increasing rapidly, as were drug-related crimes, the report said. It urged increased cooperation between schools, parents and police.

Academy helps student soar
(USPS 650-640)
Student is taking advantage of gifts he has received
By Jennifer A. Yeoman Kansan staff writer
The first graduates of the African American Male Leadership Academy headed to college this fall. One graduate, Vincent Edwards, Wichita freshman, is attending the University of Kansas with 10 scholarships for academics and leadership in high school.
"I never really expected to get all of these scholarships," Edwards said. "I just felt like jumping up and down. It's that feeling you get when you're excited about doing something really well."
The academy, which is based at the University, is a program for male, African-American high school students who show academic and leadership potential. About 150 students in Wichita, Topeka, and Kansas City, Kan., completed the program this spring.
"The academy helps people to see something positive about the Black community," Edwards said. "They get a chance to hear about Blacks going to college and not just the usual bad press that people normally hear. And it creates role models for younger Black men to look up to."
The academy began in 1993 with a grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Jacob Gordon, director of the KU Center for Multicultural Leadership, coordinated and developed the academy.
The program accepts gifted students or those who have the potential to succeed, Gordon said. The students must have a referral from school or community leaders.
Members of the academy meet on weekends to interact with leaders in the African-American community, participate in computer literacy training and study African and African-American cultures.
The volunteers, speakers and paid staff who run the programs encourage the students to attend college and become leaders and mentors in their communities.
Another program goal is to connect the students with internship and scholarship opportunities.
Edwards received approximately $5,500 in scholarships, ranging from a $1,000 University academic scholarship to a church scholarship of $50. He said he planned to major in journalism and study law.
"The academy was there to support me when I was applying for the scholarships." Edwards said. "It kept me positive and helped me to keep focused on school."
I am a Black man. I grew up in Detroit, Michigan. I was born in 1943. I was raised in the suburb of Oakland. My father was a teacher. My mother was a nurse. My sister was a student. My brother was a worker. I graduated from college with a degree in computer science. I worked as a software developer for many years. I loved working on computer programs. I also loved playing games and watching movies. I always wanted to be a successful person.
The program costs about $100,000 a year and is funded completely by the W.K Kellogg Foundation grant.
"We pay $25,000 a year to lock a man up," Gordon said. "But it only takes $6,000 to send him to school for a year. If we help him to get to college, it saves us money and sets him on a track that criminal rehabilitation just can't accomplish."
Of the 14,170,151 African-American males in the United States, Gordon said the legal system controlled 33 percent. By contrast, only 3 percent are in higher education.
"Black males are the only group whose life-expectancy rate has dropped since the last census report," Gordon said. "It is my job to help young men with potential."
"Census reports say women and people of colored descent will make up two-thirds of the work force in the year 2000. We need to prepare these people now for the work force," he said.
The program is only offered to young men.
"Females are better off," Gordon said. "They are better educated, they have a longer life expectancy, and they are less likely to spend time in jail. With limited resources you have to focus on the group that has the most problems."
Family members are bound to be pulled into the program when their brothers or children are involved. Gordon said.
"Helping these students involves their families," Gordon said. "You can't work with them in a vacuum."

Unattained goals still linger on anniversary of King's speech
By Ryan Koerner
Kansan staff writer
Martin Luther King Jr. immortalized the dream of racial equality when he delivered his "I Have A Dream" speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial 34 years ago today.
But the question remains: Has the dream been realized?
Some at the University of Kansas agree that while steps have been made to abolish racism, King's dream has not yet been accomplished.
"I think if he were alive today he would be doing what he was doing in the '60s," said Dick Kurtenbach, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union for Kansas and Western Missouri. "I don't think he would be at peace. He would recognize that there has been progress, but he would be out there as an activist."
Monica Hubbard, vice president of Black Student Union, said while most of the groups' activities commemorating King took place in January, when Martin Luther King Jr. Day is
observed, she thought people should remember the message of his speech.
"He had a dream that we could all live as one," said Hubbard, Colorado Springs, Colo., sophomore. "While we have a made a lot of progress, there's still a struggle for African Americans. I've been lucky and haven't experienced a problem, but I know there is somebody out there that has had a problem at work or in class just because they're African-American."
M. C. KINCHEL
King: "Dream"
speech delivered
34 years ago
Sarah Kerbs, Salina sophomore, was confident that improvements had been made since King's speech, but that there were still problems.
"I think that publicly it looks like we have made progress because there is no legal segregation," Kerbs said. "But socially, I think most races still choose to function separately."
University ranks high in college guides
By Matthew Friedrichs
Evaluations based on academics, social
Three guides released last week - the "U.S. News and World Report 1988 Annual Guide to America's Best Colleges," the "Fiske Guide to Colleges 1998" and the "Princeton Review"- mention the university.
Kansan staff writer
If high school seniors believe their college guides, they'll need to put more effort into partying than studying at the University of Kansas.
"U.S. News and World Report" ranks the University's academics 116th among national universities, and the "Fiske Guide" gives the University four out of five stars for academics, social, and quality of life. In contrast, the "Princeton Review" ranks the University as the eighth best party school in the nation.
In the "Fiske Guide," only the University of Colorado, with five stars in both the social and quality of life categories, scores
higher.
"How important are the rankings?" asked Chancellor Robert Hemenway. "They are an indicator of quality, but they also are erratic, dependent upon what institutions themselves submit, and very much a function of how each magazine weights the information received."
The Office of Institutional Research and Planning handles statistical requests, like the information requested by "U.S. News and World Report," said Tom Hutton, director of university relations.
The University joins Baylor, Colorado and the University of Texas at Austin as best buys of 1988 within the Big 12 Conference, as selected by the "Fiske Guide."
Anecdotal data and surveys, like the information used by the "Fiske Guide," are handled through University Relations, Hutton said. Each year the University receives more than 100 requests from college guides for information on everything from graduation rates to social atmosphere.
Big 12 rankings
The recently released "Princeton Review" list relied on unscientific surveys done in February of 1995, said
Some guides are more reliable than others.
"U.S. News and World Report" ranks the Big 12 among public and private national universities (listed in alphabetical order, not by ranking):
Texas A&M University - College Station

Regardless of the source, guides are read by high school juniors and seniors trying to determine which college to attend.
Among public universities:
Texas A&M ranked 19th out of 25
University of Colorado ranked 22nd out of 25
Counselors at Millard High School in Omaha, Neb., have copies of different college rankings, said Gary Neuhaus, head of the counseling department.

"It's one of a number of ways of getting information about colleges," he said. KU administrators agree.
"All in all, the rankings are useful, but one should never pick a university on the basis of the ratings," Hemenway said. "The best way is to visit the university and determine if it seems a good fit for you."

Neuhaus, however, does not believe students should stop at the lists.
Elite now have personal parking on top of the Hill
Blue parking permits reserved for administrators; cost $300
And they don't come cheap.
By Tim Harrington Kansan staff writer
Hemenway, Provost David Shulenburger, the three vice chancellors, the two assistant provosts, the two associate provosts, all 15 deans and all University department directors have the option to reserve new personal parking spaces. All of the reserved spaces are located in blue-permit lots next to Strong Hall.
By decision of Chancellor Robert Hemenway, prime blue-permit parking spaces are being put on reserve for the university of Kansas' elite.
The permits cost $300, and even Hemenway, Shulenburger and six other top members of the KU administration, who already had their own reserved spots, had to pay for the new spaces.
"I can tell you that the Chancellor purchased his with a personal check," said Roger Oroke, director of facilities management.
To maximize efficiency of the spaces, each space holder provides the name of a back-up parker who may use the spot when the regular space-holder is out gone.
Oroke said about 22 people had requested the reserved spaces so far. Other administrators who had the option to buy a space did not respond or declined.
Jeannette Johnson, assistant director to the provost, is not eligible for a space, but said they were a good
idea.

A page one story yesterday in the "University Daily Kansan" stated that rural Lawrence resident Ian Michael Hall was arraigned in Douglas County Court on one count of rape for allegedly raping a KU student in McCollum Hall. Due to an error, the name of the man arraigned was incorrect. His real name is Ian Michael Stine. The "Kansan" regrets the error.

Officials continue inquiry into fraternities' fight
KU and Lawrence police are continuing to investigate the fight that took place between Kappa Alpha Psi and Phi Beta Sigma fraternities last week.
University officials also are investigating the incident.
"The investigation is going awfully slow because some people are not talking," said James Kitchen. dean of student life.
The fight occurred Aug. 20 at the Potter Lake Pavilion, KU police said. Kappa Alpha Psi had reserved the pavilion for a party that night. A fight ensued during the party between members of Kappa Alpha Psi and Phi Beta Sigma. During the fight a 9-mm gun reportedly was brandished. No shots were fired. Three students were injured, according to KU police reports.
The cases have been sent to District Attorney Christine Tonkovich. Tonkovich said she had seen the cases but had no additional information.
Kitchen said the University eventually would take action, but it had to wait until all the facts came in.
"We are trying to gather all the facts. We're not sitting back idling. I can say that there are more people involved than we first thought." he said.
Kitchen said he could not estimate how long the investigation would take to complete.

Graves to recommend millions for state parks
WICHTA — A multi-million dollar upgrading of Kansas' park system will be
recommended by Gov. Bill Graves when the Kansas Legislature convenes in January.
Although no dollar amount has been determined, spokesperson Mike Matson said yesterday that Graves could propose spending as much as $10 million more than the $6 million normally spent each year on upkeep of Kansas' 24 parks.
F. S. MURRAY
Graves told the editorial board of "The Wichita Eagle" this week that he intended to recommend the money.
Matson said Steve Williams, secretary of the Department of Wildlife and Parks, would refine the proposal and develop a total amount to be sought.
The governor's recommendation, based on conclusions of the Wildlife and Parks
Commission's Task Force on Outdoor Kansas, would be used to upgrade camping utilities, repair toilets and showers and bring the parks into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Wildlife and Parks has a $28-million annual operation and maintenance budget.
Of that, the Parks Division operates with $6 million — $3 million from park fees and $3 million from the state's general fund.
"I'm very excited that the governor has indicated that kind of support for the department's programs and, more importantly, for park patrons and other folks involved in outdoor recreation," Williams said Tuesday.
"When our folks hear it out in the field, it couldn't help but boost morale. They've been struggling for years and years, trying to make ends meet, and this would be a tremendous infusion of money."
Williams said that the new money would be used only to upgrade or repair items identified by the task force.

Former agriculture secretary accused of accepting gifts
WASHINGTON — A grand jury accused former agricultural secretary Mike Espy
of accepting more than $35,000 in gifts, trips and favors from large agribusinesses that did business with the USDA when he headed the agency between 1993 and 1994.
A. R. Kishan
Espy also was charged with witness tampering by ordering a USDA employee to alter a document that had been sought by the Agriculture Department's inspector general, which initially investigated.
Espy: Accused of accepting more than $35,000 in gifts
amended the allegations against Espy. Among the sources of gifts was a lobbyist for Tyson Foods Inc., the Arkansas-based chicken processor. The company has been notified that it is a target of the investigation by independent counsel Donald C. Smaltz, according to a person familiar with the probe.
In May, a federal judge fined Sun Diamond Growers of California, the largest grower of raisins, prunes and other dried fruits, $1.5 million for giving Espy $6,000 in illegal gratuities and for illegally donating $4,000 to the failed congressional campaign of Espy's brother, Henry.
Sun Diamond joblybist Richard Douglas is awaiting trial in San Francisco on charges of lavishing favors and gifts on Espy and his girlfriend, Patricia Demusew.
Espy resigned in December 1994, three months after Smaltz began his investigation. A former Mississippi congressman, Espy has denied any criminal wrongdoing.
Black women organize Million Women March
recapture the spirit of the Million Man March in Washington two years ago.
WASHINGTON — Organizers say they expect a huge crowd of black women in Philadelphia Oct. 25 for a rally designed
PETER KING
Mandela: Will speak at women's rally in Philadelphia
"We are sisters who are concerned," Aminata said. "Women are in crisis in general. Any woman living in this society is dealing with at least one of the problems we plan to address."
Specific details on the planned march are murky at this point. South African activist Winnie Mandela is the only speaker who has been announced.
Aminata said the organizing group met with Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif, chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus, and expected her cooperation.
However, Waters, who was contacted after the news conference, said she had not met with anyone from the group. She said she would not support the effort until she determined who the organizers represent, who would finance the march and whether people would be charged to attend.
"It might be a wonderful event, but I've asked them for information and I haven't received a thing." Waters said. "I can't do something like that willy-nilly."
The lack of announced speakers did nothing to dampen the enthusiasm of the 15 women at the news conference who said the march would help start a new era of activism.
Aminata said a national network of 25 separate local organizing committees was helping to coordinate the event.
Damaged valves cause heartbreak for dieters
BOSTON — Fifty-eight more cases of heart-valve damage among users of fenphen have been reported to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration since new concerns arose last month about the popular prescription pill combination taken by millions to lose weight.
As a result, the agency said Wednesday it would require new drug labels warning patients of the potential danger. A drug company also announced a new study on the medication's effects.
The possibility that the diet drugs might damage heart valves came to light July 8, when physicians from the Mayo Clinic
The FDA then asked physicians to report any other patients. That search turned up the 58 additional cases, all but two of which were in women.
said it had identified 24 cases.
How many of those cases were actually caused by the medicines, however, is unclear. Some doctors wondered whether newly vigilant physicians might be hearing heart murmurs — the telltale sound of bad valves — that have been there all along.
Fen-phen is a combination of the prescription drugs fenfuramine and phentermine that suppresses appetite. Both drugs are approved by the FDA for short-term use in dieting, although not specifically in combination.
Given the large number of people using these drugs, the risk of heart damage is clearly low. But just how great the risk is — even whether it truly exists — cannot be determined without a careful study comparing diet pill users with overweight people who are not taking the medicines.

Israeli officials lift blockade of Bethlehem
BETHLEHEM, West Bank — Pushing aside the red-and-white barriers that had blocked traffic for nearly a month, Israel lifted its much-represented blockade of Bethlehem yesterday.
The move followed days of violent Palestinian street protests and international criticism — including from the Vatican, which complained that Christian pilgrims were kept from visiting the birthplace of Jesus.
David Bar-Illan, a representative of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said the closure imposed after a suicide bombing July 30 in a Jerusalem market was lifted for security reasons. He gave no further details on why security officials reversed their position.
The gesture was expected to help improve the deeply troubled relation between Israel and Yasser Arafat's Pales tinian Authority.
But Arafat representative Nabil Abourdeineh said it "must be followed by many other steps," including the lifting of a general closure that keeps tens of thousands of Palestinian workers out of Israel and the resumption of tax transfers to the Palestinian Authority.
"Things must be returned to their nor mal situation in order to return to the negotiating table and the protection of the peace process," he said.
The market bombing, which killed 16 people, was claimed by the Islamic militant group Hamas. Israel reportedly maintained its blockade of Bethlehem for 28 days because it suspected two masterminds of the bombing were hiding in the city.
N. Korea closes gates as U.S. defends defector
WASHINGTON — North Korea's grudging opening to the West was closed at least temporarily yesterday after the United States took in a diplomatic defector from the communist country.
Negotiations were sidetracked immediately to curb the spread of North Korea's missile technology, most ominously to Iran.
So far, preliminary four-way peace talks that would include South Korea and China remain on schedule for next month. But North Korea's sudden and angry suspension of the missile negotiations just before midnight Tuesday may cast a long shadow.
In calling its negotiators home from New York, North Korea's exclusive government urged the Clinton administration to turn over Ambassador Chang Sung Gil, who defected from his post in Egypt, and his brother, Chang Sung Ho, a diplomat on a trade mission to Paris.
The State Department, which incorrectly announced the men had been officially granted asylum, nonetheless gave no ground. The brothers and their families entered the United States under temporary arrangements that could be made permanent later.
Spokesperson James P. Rubin said the administration would try to put the negotiations back on track soon. He cited several suspensions in past talks with North Korea that he said suggested the delay could be temporary.

Kansas House minority leader stresses value of higher education
By Mike Perryman Kansan staff writer
Nearly 50 young democrats gathered in the Kansas Union's Jayhawk Room last night to listen to House Democratic Minority Leader Tom Sawyer stress the importance of higher education
The Student Tuition Assistance Recognition Scholarship program and state educational funding were the focus of Sawyer's address.
"Education in Kansas is being starved to death." Sawyer said.
THE FUTURE OF TRAVEL IN THE WORLD

Last session, the legislature reduced a $9 million Board of Regents' educational and technological funding proposal to $3 million.
"Three million dollars is crumbs considering the fact that it must be distributed to several Regents boards." Sawer said.
STARS is a program that would be funded through state funds generated mostly through the Kansas Lottery. The lottery produces almost $60 million per year, and STARS would cost $50 million per year, Sawyer said.
Students must be Kansas residents, their family's gross income must be less than $75,000, they must attain a grade point average of 3.0 or higher and once accepted,
they must maintain that GPA. They also must graduate from an accredited Kansas high school, Sawyer said.
Students now enrolled also would be eligible. If passed, the STARS program would go into effect for the 1998-99 school year.
Troy Findley,
Democratic state
representative of
the 46th district
in Lawrence,
said STARS was
a good way to
place attention
on the need for
higher education and prepare the state for the 21st century.
Sawyer also addressed state funding for a graduate teaching assistant health-care plan.
The GTAs are facing an uphill battle, he said.
"If the Legislature does not support a proposed health-care plan from the Board of Regents, then most likely the Regents and GTAs
will have to renegotiate." Sawyer said.
Republican Sandy Praeger, state senate representative of Lawrence, said she would support the GTA health plan if it came to the Legislature.
"The Board of Regents doesn't have a lot of flexibility with funds this year," she said. "Without state funding, the plan probably wouldn't work."
SUA plans birthday with look at past
By Corrie Moore
Kansas staff writer
SUA has been working to get students involved with University life since 1938.
This year, Student Union Activities members and alumni will celebrate the 60th anniversary of their organization with a look at the past.
Christy Lamble, SUA vice president of alumni relations, said SUA provided educational and entertaining events for students. Lamble, Overland Park senior, is in charge of coordinating the anniversary events.
"We want students to feel like they are a part of SUA and have a good time celebrating this birthday with us," she said.
Throughout the year, SUA will display old posters of guest speakers and performers from the past to remind students of the organization's history. Lamble said.
When SUA was first organized on March 7,1938, its main events were functions and dances. SUA also
sponsored four intramural activities: chess, billiards, bridge and ping-pong.
Today, SUA is involved with activities that include everything from guest speakers to art exhibits.
SUA's committees also have made changes during the years. In 1989, the films committee split into two committees - feature and spectrum. The feature-film committee brings popular movies and occasional sneak previews to students, while the spectrum-films committee specializes in avant-garde, cult and classic foreign films.
In 1991, the live music committee was installed to bring various popular bands to the University.
Lamble said SUA was planning a big birthday bash in March for alumni and students and she hoped people would get involved in the celebration.
Jeni Cardin, Kansas City alumnus and former SUA president, said she planned to attend the celebration.
"I have seen how much growth there has been in the projects it has

Downtown ruffians killing fun
The nightlife on the streets of Lawrence would be a lot more pleasant if the kids in pick-up trucks would find something else to do.
If you check out the license plates of the vehicles filled with juveniles in cowboy hats along Massachusetts Street on Friday and Saturday nights, you'll see that these youngsters are mostly from Franklin, Jefferson, and Leavenworth counties. They have come from small, neighboring communities looking for action in the big city.
How sitting in a truck bed on Massachusetts St. passes for weekend entertainment remains a mystery.
It's obvious that these rural folks think they've found a good thing. Too bad it's not such a good thing for downtown.
The kids who spend their weekends parked on Massachusetts St. are not there to spend money. They are there
to hang-out.
Not a problem, in itself. There is no downtown loitering law and everyone has the right to enjoy the lively atmosphere of the place on the weekend.
The problem is these kids end-up ruining the downtown ambience that brought them from Tonganoxie, Ottawa and Lecompton in the first place.
They are loud, confrontational, and generally, a pain. KU students in particular notice the culture clash that occurs between the college crowd and the kids. Although Lawrence Police say there have been no specific complaints or incidents recently, many students can recite stories about heckling, threats, or just plain annoyance from the "truck people."
There may have been no serious incidents yet, but it's only a matter of time before these juvenile confrontations turn into injurious brawls
In the rural kids' defense, it is hard for young people to find something to do in the small Kansas towns near Lawrence. But if these people want to party with the big kids, this they need to grow-up and get their kicks from something besides calling people names.
And if they can't grow up, Lawrence Police need to treat these weekend visitors like the kids that they are. The curfew in Lawrence on Friday and Saturday for people under 18 is 12:30 a.m. When an officer discovers a juvenile out after this time the police procedure is to call the child's parents and have them come get their kid at the station.
Maybe if mom and dad had to get out of bed and drive in from Ottawa a few times, these kids would begin to realize that Lawrence was not the place to be.

Recycling effort will lessen anger
In the wake of the deal Coca-Cola made with the University, administrators must now deal with greater repercussions than the student bitterness about being left out of the decision making process.
The biggest problem concerns the thousands of plastic Coke bottles littering campus. The solution is to form a more comprehensive recycling program which would process plastic bottles. Administrators insist that they are working out the kinks with Coca-Cola in a proposal to create a better campus-wide recycling program. The University needs to bolster its recycling efforts and if Coca-Cola can help with the cost, then student bitterness may start to wane.
Many students feel that with the Coca-Cola deal, the University abandoned recycling as a top priority. Students do not see the promised recycling bins. They see trash cans throughout campus overflowing with plastic bottles.
However, Tom Hutton, director of University Relations, insists that recycling is not taking a back burner. He maintains that the administration has wanted to implement a more efficient and comprehensive recycling program, but financial constraints hampered the endeavor. With the financial aid of Coca-Cola, Hutton contends, the University can provide upgrades to the recycling program.
Many students are against plastic Coca-Cola bottles because they are difficult to recycle. But Hutton said that with the financial support of Coca-Cola, this concern can be overcome.
In addition, plastic recycling has been shown to be effective at some of the University's peer schools such as Missouri and Illinois.
Time will tell if the University can establish a successful recycling program that can compete with its peer schools. There are many concerns about the recycling of plastic, and many of these concerns are financially based. Part of the deal between the University and Coca-Cola is that they will help the University strengthen its recycling efforts. If this happens, students may not mind seeing all of their drinks always Coca-Cola.

Summer of indentured servitude, financial loss
I was looking for a job that required no thought and even less physical labor. CBS was looking for an employee with ambition, intelligence and the willingness
Jeff Mudrick
opinion@kansan.com
to perform mindless tasks and serve as the standard to which all other employees could point and say, "At least I'm more significant than him."
"Normally," they told me, "we hire illegal immigrants for this kind of work and pay them less than minimum wage. But since you're willing to work for free, and it's legal, you're hired. Now go get me some coffee."
Thus began my eight-
week session of serfdom and financial struggle, formally known as an unpaid summer internship.
For those unfamiliar with the term, an unpaid internship is basically the same as a job — except without the pay, the benefits, the respect and the recognition.
To a paid employee, an intern ranks about two steps below nail fungus on the respectability scale. Sure, that employee may do the same work, but he or she does it without the intern's exaggerated enthusiasm, acknowledging the lowliness of the job. Meanwhile, the intern makes copies, runs errands and serves as the butt of office jokes, with a constant smile and a nonexistent paycheck.
Of course, I exaggerate when I say unpaid. I'll actually have to pay between $60 and $300 to receive college credit. My employer insisted I receive credit for the more than 350 hours of work. Otherwise, it would be like they were taking advantage of me.
But I knew what I was getting into and never complained on the job.
Every Thursday, I got a free lunch, and that was all the motivation I needed. Not since the grade school days of $1.50 per
The only non-edible compensation I received were occasional freebie books and CDs, which I had hoped to sell later for profit. Unfortunately, they wouldn't fit in my suitcase, and I spent more to ship them home than I could ever hope to make from their sale.
week allowances had my love of food made me such an easy target for cheap-labor seekers. Back then, it was a candy bar or ice cream. This summer, it was a stale turkey sandwich, a bag of chips and a warm soda.
In short, my internship has left me with a bad attitude, a deflated bank account and two large boxes of self-help books and new-age music.
Of course, free food doesn't pay the bills and I was forced into a situation where stealing office supplies was no longer just a bad habit, but a necessary means of support. Erasable pens, company stationery and "white out" were hot items, but at 15 cents a pop, barely enough to cover transportation.
On the positive side, I was able to spend my summer being lazy and unproductive without my parents nagging me to get a job. Sure, the work was unglamorous, but it was easy and infrequent.
At first, that bothered me. After all, I didn't apply for the internship just to sit in a conference room and read newspapers five hours a day. I wanted to be challenged. I wanted to be put to work.
However, I soon grew to appreciate the sedentary nature of my job and when the work requests began coming in, I was not only irritated, but offended that anyone would try to impose on my reading time.
So, for those considering an unpaid internship next summer, I suggest you consider all the options, speak with an advisor or trusted elder and take the job at Burger King. It pays, the lunches are free every day and you get a uniform and name tag.

E everything you ever needed to know about college has been kept from you. For the past 18 plus years your parents, friends, older siblings, teachers and
guidance counselors conspired to keep the horrors of campus life from you. They all neglected to tell you that school can kill, or at the least cause side effects that are deadly to the mind and/or body.

There will be a test. It is called graduation.
These effects can be felt from the evils of caffeine addiction, culture shock, laziness, obesity, sleep deprivation, your neighbor's own version of noise pollution, the Spice Girls, your roommate's flying alarm clock, chin splints, stress migraines, among other things that are illegal or obscene and you will just have to fend for yourself on those.

These are just a few things that were kept from you. There are other things you should know that I have learned from my existence. Hopefully, some of you already know these:

Plea for less glossy inserts
To the advertising department of the "Kansan": Please, no more glossy inserts in the paper.
As I walked back from a morning class today, the lawn in front of Fraser was a sea of glossy, nonrecyclable Suter Tarnet ads.

100 percent recyclable.
Obviously, these ads represent a great deal of revenue for the "Kansan," but monetary concerns cannot be placed before the greater concerns of the campus community. The UDK needs to be
No solicitation?
Forget about it
What part of no does the University of Kansas not understand? When I see the No Solicitation Beyond This Point sign, I let out a sigh of relief. No more people hassling me. But, that was not what happened the first
week of class in front of the Union. I was met with a big, obnoxious, environmentally unfriendly "bigloo" sponsored by the infamous Coca-Cola Corporation.
The University of Coke, oh, I mean Kansas, has a right and responsibility to its students and faculty to abide by its own rules. When I see the No Solicitation Beyond This Point Sign, I want to sigh in relief.

Survey to help area businesses
KU program targets downtown shoppers
By Ann Premer
Kansas staff writer
A University of Kansas outreach program is helping downtown merchants find their market.
The KU Small Business Development Center is conducting a consumer survey of downtown businesses.
The results are to be finished by the end of September.
Retail stores that are members of Downtown Lawrence Inc., an organization of downtown businesses, are participating in the instore survey that began Aug. 20 and will end Saturday.
Lisa Blair, Downtown Lawrence Inc. administrator, said Downtown Lawrence Inc. decided to conduct the survey to pinpoint the consumer market.
"We are allocating more money to advertising so I wanted to make sure that we were looking to the right market," Blair said.
She said that 4,000 questionnaires were distributed to the businesses and that employees asked patrons to complete the forms.
Randee Brady, center director, said the survey was modeled after others surveys developed to show consumer patterns.
Brady decided to conduct the survey in the last week of August, a busy period for back-to-school shopping.
Brady said the center would evaluate the surveys during September and would present the results to Downtown Lawrence Inc. at the end of the month.
Brady said they hoped to deduce marketing strategies from the data for the businesses.
These strategies will help businesses decide when to run instore promotions as well as where and when to advertise.
"We will provide very practical
information that they can use to continue to market their customers and their potential customers." Brady said.
After the survey results are available, Blair said that market- strategy workshops would be held to help downtown merchants.
Besides the consensus of the downtown survey results, each business will get a confidential consumer report about that store, Brady said.
Survey questions included the patron's zip code, length of residence, age group and frequency of patronage in downtown Lawrence.
"We've been in business for a long time so we know who our clientele are, but it would be nice to see who is coming from out of town," said Marci Shalz, manager of The Etc. Shop, 928 Mass. St.
"I hope we are an idea of how many people we are coming back," said Dick Wilson, sales associate of sneakers, 914 Mass. St. "There is a lot of information that we can get from this."
Hypertension affects students, too
By Sarah Chadwick Kansan staff writer
The college years are not too early to start worrying about high blood pressure.
Hypertension, a disease that usually affects people later in life, can be triggered in college students by stress, lack of exercise or poor eating habits, said Candyce Waitley, coordinator of Health Promotion and Education at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
Barbara Schnitker, director of nurses at the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, said 7 percent of males and 12 percent of females between the ages of 18 and 24 had been diagnosed with high blood pressure.
If caught early, hypertension can be reduced by eating a healthier diet, getting regular exercise or taking medicine.
"We encourage people to come in and talk to us about it," Waitley said. "We'll talk about a healthy
diet and exercise. It all has to do with a healthy lifestyle. That's our goal."
Heredity, obesity, smoking and taking birth-control pills also may contribute to hypertension, which can result in more serious health problems.
"Often there aren't any symptoms," Schnitker said. "If it goes untreated, over time it could damage your heart and blood vessels, or it could even cause a stroke."
Blood pressure should be checked every year, Schnitker said.
Watkins offers free blood-pressure screenings year-round at the center and will be taking its services to other campus locations.
"We'll be visiting the different living halls, the Union, the Health Fair in October and in the spring, we will be at Wescoe Beach," Waitley said.
The health department offers free screenings as well and schedules monthly checks at locations
Blood pressure
High blood pressure, or hypertension, can be caused by smoking, bad eating habits, stress, obesity, heredity or taking birth control
About 12 percent of females and 7 percent of males ages 18-24 have been diagnosed with high blood pressure.
High blood pressure can be reduced by healthy eating, regular exercise and low stress.

Open house shares women's issues
Staff distributes cookies, handouts to attract students
By Gwen Olson
Kansan staff writer
Students received cookies, punch and a chance to learn about women's issues yesterday at Strong Hall.
The staff of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center welcomed students back to school with an open house to inform them about the center's resources and services.
"We have an open house every year," said Barbara Ballard, associate dean of students and center director. "We usually catch people walking through and give them a chance to know what's going on and make them aware of what we do."
Staff members distributed a calendar of events for the semester, which includes programs ranging from self-defense techniques to automobile-maintenance classes. The center also offers services that include sexual-assault prevention

education and information about women's issues.
"I went to some of the programs a few years ago," said Kim Beeler, assistant director of admissions. "I know there are a lot of women's issues that I should be informed about that I know they would be a great resource for."
The center also provides resources about resume writing and financial aid for women.
"I just wanted to get some information," said Carolyn Wright, Brooklyn Park, Minn., freshman, who stopped at the open house on her way to class. "I'm interested in the financial-aid program and writing resumes. I've written one before, but I don't remember much of it."

Although the center focuses on women, Ballard said that men often came into the office. Yesterday, a few men mingled at the open house.
"I think often men won't come in unless they need something for class," she said. "But once they come in, they come back because they know some of the things we have, or they will refer a friend of theirs to our office."

Early season games look promising for'Hawks
Allen begins tenure with easy schedule
41 40
Terry Allen's tenure at the University of Kansas officially begins tonight. Although he was hired eight months ago to be the Jayhawks' new head man, this
evening is the first real chance for fans to see Glen Maso n's replacement in action. Allen's team returns 11 starters (eight defensive and three offensive) from a team that crumbled down the stretch and finished 4-7 last fall

In addition, he inherits a nonconference schedule that includes three very winable games.

UAB, which has seven players left from that team, barely resembles the team that took the field here in 1994.
The first of those games is at 7 tonight at home against Alabama-Birmingham. Three years ago, Kansas pounded the Blazers 72-0. I did so much wheat waving that Saturday afternoon that I could barely lift my milk glass to my mouth the following morning.
Prediction: Kansas 34. UAB 10.
The Blazers are in their third year of playing Division-I football and are coming off an impressive 5-6 season. Although the Blazers have made great strides in the past three years, they are still no match for Kansas. Look for Allen to become only the second coach in school history to win his first game.
Fredrickson Kansas 54, OR 10
In the second game of the year, Kansas plays host to Texas Christian University. Kansas has smashed TCU the past two seasons, after losing to the Horned Frogs in 1994. TCU slumped last year and there is no reason to believe they will have snapped out of it by the time they visit Lawrence. On Sept. 6, the Jayhawks will make it three in a row against TCU.
I hope that my crimson and blue shaded glasses aren't cloudying my logic and my predictions are well-founded and correct. If the Jay Hawks do succeed in winning all three of their nonconference games, they have a great shot at attaining a winning record.
Prediction: Kansas 27, TCU 9.
Prediction: Kansas 17, Cincinnati 13.
After taking on Missouri in the third week of the season, Kansas completes its nonconference slate by traveling to Cincinnati to battle the Bearcats.
After barely losing to both Kansas and Kansas State in 1995, the Bearcats finished last season with a 6-5 record. This year, Cincinnati has its eyes on the Conference USA crown and hopes a nonconference victory against Kansas will propel them toward the title. With three home games under their belts, the Jayhawk offensive line and receiving corps should be experienced enough to brave the hostile environment they will face in Cincinnati.
By finishing with a winning record, the Hawks could find themselves playing another non-conference game in December.

New era begins as Allen steps on field tonight
By Kelly Cannon
kcannon@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
When the Kansas football team last met Alabama-Birmingham, the Jayhawks won 72-0.
That was in 1994. Since then, Kansas has acquired a new head coach and coaching staff that will make their debut at 7 tonight under the lights of Memorial Stadium. No Kansas coach since Don Fambrough in 1971 has won his first game in Lawrence, a streak of 12 coaches.
UAB, a Division I-AA team in 1994, is beginning its second season of Division I-A football. Kansas finished 4-7 last season, while UAB was 5-6.
Just because UAB has only seven years of NCAA-sanctioned competition doesn't mean Kansas head coach Terry Allen is taking the game lightly.
"The similarities between our teams are amazing," Allen said. "They're strong on the defensive side of the ball. The strength of our team is our defense. We can put pressure on the offense and not gamble one-on-one."
Kansas' defensive depth relies on four returning starters in the secondary - Tony Blevins, Jamie Harris, Jason Harris and Maurice Gaddie; and four other returning defensive starters including nose tackle Bret McGraw, linebackers Jason Thoren and Pat Brown and defensive end Dewey Houston III.
McGraw said the experience of Kansas' starters would be an advantage.
"Most of us have been playing three years," McGraw said. "We know our styles and we enjoy playing with each other."
Allen said because Kansas and UAB were so similar, the deciding factor in the game could be the special teams.
"In a defensive struggle, special teams could play a larger role in the game," Allen said. "Your kicker could play a large role in the outcome. And since we have a freshman at kicker, it's somewhat of a concern for us."
Freshman place-kicker Joe Garcia will play in his first college game tonight. Garcia is the first freshman to start in that

position since Dan Eichloff in 1990.
Freshman wide receiver Harrison Hill will also see significant playing time.
"I didn't want to come in expecting to be a starter," Hill said. "I would have much rather sat back and learned the offense. I am surprised, amazed and giddy to have the chance to play."
Kansas has a slight advantage at the quarterback position. Senior quarterback Matt Johner started in the Jayhawks' season opener last season.
UAB's starting quarterback is redshirt freshman Lee Jolly. Seven players have started at quarterback for UAB since 1991. Kansas has had five since then.
"I'm not sure we can measure this season in wins and losses," he said. "We are coming together as a football team."
Despite the possibility of winning tonight's game, Allen said he remained cautiously optimistic about the season.
Team begins new tradition on the Hill at home games
By Kelly Cannon
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas graduates began walking Campanile Hill in 1924 for commencement. Kansas football players and coaches will begin a similar tradition this year, and they hope their walk will be just as longstanding.
Beginning tonight, the team and coaches will walk from the Campanile to their locker room in Memorial Stadium before every home game.
"The players will have their shoes on and taped, their pants and jerseys," said Rick Mullen, director of promotions. "They will put on their pads and helmets after the walk."
The idea of walking the hill was new head coach Terry Allen's and came directly from Kansas' commencement exercises in Mav.
"I saw a picture in the academic center of people walking down the hill at graduation," Allen said. "It was natural for us to walk down the hill to get people to the games early and to get people to be excited about the team."
Allen said even though the walk was aimed at increasing excitement for the fans, there was another motive.
"We want to make the statement that not only do we want to walk down the hill on Sundays for games, but we want to walk down the hill on Sundays for graduation as well." Allen said.
The walk will take place one hour and 20 minutes before kickoff. Fans will not be able to directly interact with players, but can stand close to the sidewalk and cheer.
"It's more symbolic for the fans to line up and cheer the team on," Mullen said. "They can slap the players on the

shoulder. It's a way for the fans to rally around the team. Graduation is a focus of longstanding tradition. This is something the team has never done before."

With both Kansas tennis programs unaffected by graduation departures, the men and women's teams expect to return — not to mention serve and volley — to national prominence after promising 1996-97 finales.
Senior and No.1 singles player Kylie Hunt returns to the women's team for the fall season. The Jayhawks finished the spring season 15-14 (9-2 in the Big 12) and placed second in the conference tournament.
Hunt, a 1996 transfer from North Carolina State, will be allowed to compete as a senior despite sitting out her true senior year due to a knee injury. As a junior, Hunt won the national championships and placed second at the national claycourt tournament. However, she was granted another season of
"She is by far one of the top players in the country," said second-year coach Roland Thornqvist. "She is the most dedicated athlete I have ever been around."
Senior Christie Sim, who filled the No. 1 singles void during Hunt's absence, will contend for the top spot again.
Thornqvist said he rated Texas as the Big 12 favorite said, "We'll give them a run for their money. We have a good group here, too."
"In my mind, Sim will be battling for the top spot," Thornqvist said. "She grew into the role very well last year and has continued to improve."
The men, who started preseason conditioning yesterday, have a Big 12 title in their sights as well, said second-year coach Mark Rilev.
eligibility.

"The guys have been really committed to summer tournaments," said Riley, who led last year's squad to a 19-8 record overall (8-1, Big 12) and a fourth place
finish at the conference tournament. "There's a lot of pride in how this team competes, and these guys are coming out ready to play."
The men are bolstered by the addition of junior Georgia Tech transfer Kenny Powell. Powell did not have to redshift this season as per NCAA transfer rules because his departure landed him in another conference.
"This is a great program to be a part of," said Powell. "They have a great coach and a bunch of guys who are very competitive."
Riley agreed with his new player's assessment.
"Teams will have to be wary of anyone in our lineup," Riley said. Two All-American seniors, Enrique Abaroa and Xavier Avila, also return to the souad.

“This year we have everybody coming back,” Riley said. “Our goal is to win the Big 12, and we think that is it very possible to accomplish that feat.”

WNBA's Comets snag MVP, coach of the year
HOUSTON — Cynthia Cooper, who led the Houston Comets to the best record in the WNBA's first season, was chosen the league's MVP yesterday and her coach
SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES
METROCOMETS
Van Chancellor, was selected coach of the year.
Cooper, the league's leading scorer and unanimous selection to the all-WNBA team, was the runaway winner of the MVP award, defeating Charlotte's Andrea Stinson by a 370-116 margin in voting by a national media panel. Los Angeles' Lisa Leslie was third with 109 points and Sacramento's Ruthie Bolton-Holifield fourth with 107.
Cooper averaged 22.2 points, 4.7 assists and 2.11 steals per game and shot 47 percent from the field. She scored 30 or more points in eight games and set a league record with 44 points against Sacramento on July 25.
NOTE: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment only.
ATLANTA — Lenny Wilkins, the winningest coach in NBA history,
bringing back a league of its own.
Wilkins signs coaching extension with Hawks
year contract extension yesterday with the Atlanta Hawks worth a reported $20 million.
"We all made a commitment five years ago to bring a championship team to Atlanta," said Wilkens, who
PETER K. HAWKINS
will earn $1.4 million in the final season of the original five-year deal he signed with the Hawks. "I'm happy to say that's a goal I'm going to be a part of."
Wilkens' contract is the latest indication that the salary bar for NBA coaches has been raised significantly during this off season.
Wilkens, 59, is the only coach in NBA history to surpass 1,000 wins, with a record of 1,070-876 after 24 seasons. His four-year mark in Atlanta is 201-127, including two 50-win seasons, but the Hawks have yet to advance past the second round of the playoffs.
Wilkins: Signs new contract

Woods to forego site of professional debut
BROWN DEER, Wis. — Tiger Woods is skipping the Greater Milwaukee Open, the site of his pro debut last year.
The participants will be competing for a $1.3 million purse — up from last year's $1.2 million. That includes a ton prize of $234,000.
But that isn't stopping Tom Strong, the tournament's executive director, from bragging about this year's field, led by John Daly, who is making the Brown Deer Park Golf Course a stop on his comeback trail.
Woods: Injured ankle will keep him from playing
But what about Woods? Twenty years old and fresh off an unprecedented third straight U.S. Amateur title, Woods made the GMO a big tournament last year. He finished 60th, but his hole-in-one during the final round brought wild cheers from the gallery.
This year, Woods will be absent, citing an injured ankle and his rule of not playing more than three tournaments in a row.
"I think with John Daly here, you're still going to have an excited crowd," he said.
In July, Daly said he wouldn't play in the GMO because he couldn't handle smelling the breweries.
With Milwaukee-based Miller Brewing Co. beer signs plastered all over the tournament, Daly often will be reminded of his struggles.
New kicker flawless for Rams in preseason
CAROLINA
the ex-49ers kicker made all nine of his field-goal attempts in the preseason, including four outside the 40
and one 52-yarder. Both of his kicks in the exhibition finale against Kansas City were so dead-on he was shaking hands with the linemen when the ball cleared the uprights.
Wilkins, who was 30-for-34 for San Francisco last year, said he's never before been perfect in the preseason.
ST. LOUIS — So far, Jeff Wilkins appears to be a perfect pickup for the St. Louis Rams.
"Last year I almost got fired because we just weren't playing together at all and I wasn't feeling confident," Wilkins said. "It was nice to come out this preseason and get off to a good start, but that's only preseason.
"I'm zero for zero again," he said.
"I'm zero for zero again," he said.
The Rams had a good kicker last year in Chip Lohmiller, who was 21-for-25 but now is unemployed. Considering they were 6-10 and haven't had a winning team this decade, one would think there would be more pressing concerns.
Still, coach Dick Vermeil said he couldn't afford to pass the chance for this upgrade. In three seasons, Wilkins, 25, has missed only five of 47 attempts.

the best-looking shortstop Boston shortstop ever. Some of the other names there would include Hall of Famers Joe Cronin and Luis Aparicio.
"Those are definitely nice comments," the 24-year-old said with a laugh yesterday. "Everybody's entitled to their opinion (but) I don't buy into them a lot. I still have a job to do out there on the field."

It's a job everybody says he's doing well. Going into last night's game in Seattle, Garciarpa is hitting .314 with 24 home runs, 34 doubles, 10 triples and 79 RBI.
The Georgia Tech product leads the team in hits with 176, runs with 105, stolen bases with 20, triples with 10, and is second to Mo Vaughn in homers and RBI. Those statistics make him a leading candidate for AL Rookie of the Year, an honor the Red Sox last won in 1975 with Fred Lynn.

QB star to lead Texas Tech
LUBBOCK, Texas — When Texas Tech and No. 5 Tennessee meet Saturday at Tennessee, a quarterback already among his school's all-time best at his position will trot into Neyland Stadium to begin his fourth year as a starter.
The Associated Press
His teams have played in bowl games the last three years, and he has a conference record for the most passes without an interception. His teammates respect him so much they have made him a captain three years in a row.
Peyton Manning? None.
He is Zebbie Lethridge, Tech's mobile, strong-armed leader who is being counted on more than ever following the departure of star tailback Byron Hanspard and the rest of the team's backfield depth.
"Zebbie needs to have a great year, and we have all the confidence in the world in Zebbie," senior center Jay Pugh said. "We know what he does, and he knows what we do."
F
Although outsiders have not always considered Lethridge an elite quarterback, he is admired by his peers and opposing coaches, who named him to
the big 12 Conference's second team last winter.
driving Lethridge's public relations bandwagon all summer.
Red Raiders coach Spike Dykes has been
"I think, certainly, he will be everything we ever thought he would be this year," Dykes said. "And I think this, his senior year, all the leadership and all the hard work will pay off. He is the most fierce competitor I have ever coached."
When critics pointed to Lethridge's 48-percent career completion rate, Dykes countered that his quarterback was coached to throw balls away to avoid sacks and interceptions.
Dykes often refers to Lethridge's Southwest Conference record of 211 consecutive passes without being picked off.
"I think he never quite got the credit he deserves for the things he does that aren't obvious," Dykes said. "He's got some stats that aren't too hot, and there's a reason for them. Other coaches recognize that."
It was Hanspard who carried Tech
into the postseason the last three years. Now, traditionally lukewarm expectations have been raised, and it is up to Lethridge the streak.
"People are not really accepting just going to bowl games any more," Lethridge said. "I guess they expect to win a national championship. That's what I want to do, too."
Lethridge has been a football Fluxure on the South Plains for years, beginning with three starring seasons at Lubbock Estacado High School. He redshirted at Tech his freshman year and has gone 21-11 since taking over in 1994. The Red Raiders are 1-2 in the bowl games.
"The ups and downs are going to go with this position," Lethridge said. "I feel like my ups outnumber my downs by far."
The 6-foot, 192-pound senior is among the school's top three in all passing categories and third in total offense with 5,935 yards. His 58 touchdowns, passing and running, are the second-most in Tech's history.
Last year, Lethridge completed 132 of 261 passes for 1,596 yards and 12 touchdowns. He ran for 289 more yards and another six touchdowns.
Ohio State kicks off with night game
The Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State coach John Cooper said he thought the crowd at tonight's game against Wyoming would have one thing in common with those at the Rolling Stones' upcoming concert at Ohio Stadium.
"I think the place will be rockin'," Cooper said, laughing.
It will be only the third night game in the stadium's 76 years.
A capacity crowd of more than 90,000 is expected for the game, benefiting the Black Coaches Association.
Ohio State is a four-touchdown favorite against the Cowboys. The team went 10-2 a year ago and finished No. 22 in the final Associated Press poll.
Last year's coach, Joe Tiller,
left to coach at Purdue and was
replaced by Kansas State offensive
coordinator Dana Dimel, a
native of suburban Columbus.
"There are a lot of advantages
for Wyoming," said Dimel, who grew up as an Ohio State fan.
Cooper is consoled by the presence of several central figures from last year's 11-1 team that collected Ohio State's first Rose Bowl victory since 1974 and finished the season No.2 in the nation behind Florida.
Among those cornerstones are linebacker Andy Katzenmoyer, tailback Pepe Pearson, quarterbacks Stanley Jackson and Joe Germaine and wide receiver David Boston.
Pearson rushed for 1,484 yards but was overshadowed by offensive tackle Orlando Pace.
Pace, fourth in the Heisman Trophy balloting, left Ohio State a year early to become the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft.
Now Pearson and two starters on the offensive line (Eric
Gohlstin and Rob Murphy) are trying to prove those yards were not all due to Pace's 330-pound presence.
Jackson started 11 games last year and the Buckeyes won all those games, but it was Germaine who was the Rose Bowl MVP.
Partly because he is a senior and partly because the Buckeyes intend to move the pocket around more on offense, Jackson has regained the starting job. But Germaine will still play a lot.
Ohio State has many question marks.
Eight starters are gone on defense, and that number could swell to nine if leading tackler Damon Moore does not qualify academically.
Little more than 24 hours before kickoff, Cooper said he did not know if Moore had passed a summer class he needed to be eligible
The Buckeyes already have lost one projected starter in the secondary to grades, safety Che' Bryant.

Labor Day weekend can be filled with sun, fun, drinking ... and death.
Last year, alcohol played a part in 40 deaths during the Labor Day weekend in Kansas, said Jim Schaller of the Kansas Department of Transportation.
For that reason, students need to be aware of how much they have had to drink, both on the road and on the water, said Julie Francis, Watkins Memorial Health Center health educator.
"Even before people reach the legal drinking limit, they're starting to have effects," Francis said. "Even after one or two drinks the effects will be there, even though people might not think that could
cause negative effects."
The legal blood-alcohol content limit in Kansas is 0.08 percent, but at a level of 0.05 percent, a person's thought, judgment and restraint may be more relaxed. Also, there may be increased errors in steering, according to statistics from Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
At the legal limit of 0.08 percent, the likelihood of a car crash increases three to four times because virtually all drivers are significantly impaired, the MADD statistics said.
The risk of a car crash is 100 times higher once the level reaches 0.20 percent. At this level, the entire motor area of the brain becomes significantly depressed and the brain area controlling emotional behavior also is affected
At a level of 0.45 percent or higher, death is likely.
Louisiana State University student Benjamin Wynne died last week with a blood-alcohol content of 0.588 percent, nearly six times Louisiana's legal limit.
"Things like this usually happen when people are playing drinking games or when pressured by friends to chug the beer," Francis said. "Your body burns about 20 ounces of alcohol an hour. When you're chugging, you down a lot of alcohol before the effects hit you. It bypasses the body's defense system and you don't know how much you've had."
Drinking in the sun also can wreak havoc on the body.
"If you try to replace liquids with a beer, you're just going to get further behind," said Randall Rock, chief of staff at Watkins. "The body's cooling system is less efficient in humidity. If you add alcohol, your regulatory control is impaired."
sun.
Rock also recommended keeping a close eye on friends while out in the
"Often times people attribute a person's confusion or silliness with alcohol when it could really be confused with a sign of a heat injury, like heat stroke," he said.
If a friend passes out from too much alcohol, there are steps a person should take to ensure safety. Francis said.
"If all vital signs are normal except that the person has passed out, turn them on their side in a way that makes it difficult to roll forward or backward," she said. If not turned on his side, the person can choke on his own vomit.
After turning the person to the side, do not just leave the victim alone.
"They still need to be monitored," she said. "Make sure they're still breathing and the pulse is there. If not, the line has been crossed. If you can't evoke a response, call 911."
Safe ride at Brewfest means drink carefully, plan ahead
By Tim Harrington
Kansan staff writer
At tonight's Brewfest there will be one political-action group, three bands, seven microbrews, 30 homebrews and no Safe Ride.
Chris Ogle, owner of the Lawrence Bus Company, said that Safe Ride is unable to run outside of Lawrence city limits because of a stipulation in the company's contract with the University of Kansas.
The Action Alliance fund-raiser will be held at Shirk's Barn north of Lawrence, outside of the city limits.
Matt Caldwell, Overland Park
Kip Curtis, Action Alliance co-coordinator, said that drunk driving is a concern that the people organizing Brewfest have addressed.
"We do have several drivers who will be available at the end of the night to give rides to whoever might need them," Curtis said. "We convinced a few people not to party."
senior and Action Alliance member, said that the Delta Force mobile command unit, a blue-and-green Volkswagen bus, will be among the designated driving fleet.
"There'll be a fairly constant stream of designated drivers going back and forth," Caldwell said. "People shouldn't have to wait too long."
Those drivers will most likely be in high demand. A DUI can strike fear into even the most intoxicated of hearts.
"I don't know anything about it," Detective John Lewis of the Lawrence Police Department said of the Brewfest. "But that doesn't mean patrol doesn't."
The arm of the law that actually has jurisdiction at Shirk's Barn is the Douglas County Sheriff's office. But Sheriff Loren Anderson said that he had no plans to set up any roadblocks outside the beer-tasting contest.
"We don't have anything in the plan," Anderson said.

The show's over at Varsity Theatre
Downtown cinema closes after 50 years
By Ann Premer and Tom Winter
aipremer@kansan.com
twinter@kansan.com
Kansan Staff Writers
One of the oldest operating movie houses in Lawrence will close Monday.
The Varsity Theatre, 1015 Massachusetts, has been sold to an undisclosed buyer, said Tracy M. Bundy, Hollywood Theaters director of marketing and advertising. Hollywood Theaters owns the Varsity Theatre along with Cinema Twin Theaters, 3110 Iowa St.; Hillcrest Theaters, 925 Iowa St.; and Southwind 12 Theaters, 3433 Iowa St.
Hollywood Theaters decided to sell the Varsity after the unnamed buyer approached the company about purchasing the building. Bundy said.
The company also is closing the Cinema Twin, Lawrence's only dollar theater, on Monday. The building's lease expired and was not renewed. Bundy did not say why the lease was discontinued.
She did say that the company decided to sell the Varsity because the company is expanding to theaters with more screens. The company's new
Southwind complex has 12 screens. The Varsity Theater only has one screen while Cinema Twin has two.
"I'm disappointed that the corporation is going to close it down," Joy Weroha, Lawrence junior and Varsity employee, said. "This place has more character than any of the Southwind theaters."
Lloyd Kirk, city manager of Hollywood Theaters, said that the employees at the closing theaters will have an opportunity to work at other Hollywood Theater complexes in Lawrence.
The company will replace the Cinema Twin with another dollar theater, Bundy said. She did not disclose the location of the new theater.
Ryan McKinney, Topeka senior, said that he would like to see them keep the Varsity open because it was a piece of the city's heritage.
Varsity Theater was built in 1927 and has had several owners. The movie house was owned by Common Wealth, United Artists and Crown Cinema, which sold the theater to Hollywood Theaters in 1996.
"I like the lights, the old-style sign and everything," he said.
"It would be nice for somebody to give it lots of love," he said.
KU VS. UAB BLAZERS
Scott Bliss, manager of Liberty Hall, said that he hoped someone would renovate the Varsity.
Spotlight shines on KU football in season opener
New coach leads way in lighted night of firsts
By Tommy Gallagher
tgallogher@kansan.com
Associate sports editor
At the foot of Campanile Hill at 5:40 yesterday evening, tailgating fans waited for the Kansas football team to arrive.
Once the Jayhawks had descended to the foot of the hill, they heard the cheers and entered Memorial Stadium behind new coach Terry Allen. The masses of fans then rushed through the stadium gates behind the team in anticipation of the 1997 football season.
"I thought it was a success," said Oliver King, Orlando, Fla., sophomore. "I think it's good for the students and alumni to see their team before they battle an opponent face-to-face. This is the start of a new tradition and that is what KU is all about."
A three-fifths capacity crowd of 32,100 people watched Kansas defeat Alabama-Birmingham 24-0 in its season opener.
"This is my first time at a Kansas football game," Warren said. "It's good to see just how excited everyone is about the season."
A newcomer to the university, Kansas City, Kan, freshman Patrick Warren said he was impressed with the amount of support the football team had.
Coach Allen and the walk down the hill were not the only new features for KU football fans to analyze in the season opener. Four new, permanent light posts surround Memorial Stadium.
The lighting system cost about $406,000,
said Darren Cook, director of facilities.
Temporary lighting had been used in the
six previous night games at Memorial
Stadium. Kansas has a 4-3 record in home
games played under the lights.
The Jayhawks defeated Michigan State in 1994, Texas Christian in 1995, Ball State in 1996 and Alabama-Birmingham last night. They lost to Haskell in 1931, California in 1992 and Kansas State in 1994.
Jayhawk Bookstore to become campus' only source of Pepsi
To satisfy on-campus cravings for non-Coca-Cola products, the Jayhawk Bookstore, 1420 Crescent Road, will install a Pepsi machine next month.
The new machine should appear outside the bookstore within two weeks, store employees said. Coca-Cola will remove its machine next week.
"We're going to be the only source of Pepsi on the Hill," said manager Mike Swalm.
In light of the new contract between the University of Kansas and Coke, owner Bill Muggy decided to make the switch to Pensi.
"We decided to put the machine in right after Coke got the exclusive deal." Swalm said.
This will be the first time the bookstore has carried a Pepsi machine. It has had the same Coke machine for about 20 years.
"It been there a long, long time. Even when we remodeled years ago, we just moved it outside on the sidewalk and filled it there." Swalm said.
The new machine will offer bookstore patrons Mountain Dew, Dr Pepper and other Pepsi products which can no longer be purchased on campus.

Passing student sees motorist's lewd actions
A man exposed himself to a KU student at 9 a.m. Monday in the 1000 block of Avalon Road, Lawrence police said.
The woman was walking on Avalon when a gray, '80s model Plymouth Reliant pulled up to the curb. When she looked into the car, the student saw the man masturbating in the front seat.
The woman said she had been wary of the vehicle because it had passed her several times before it stopped.
The man was described as a 20-to-30-year-old cascusian male with dark hair and a goatee. He was wearing a white shirt.

State Two children found dead in basement refrigerator
WICHIAM — James Krug remembers the 6-year-old boy and his 9-year-old sister riding their bicycles or offering neighbors a chance to hold their puppy.
Shortly after 4 a.m. yesterday morning, police officers found the two children dead in an old refrigerator in the basement of their home, said Wichita Police Lt. Landwehr. Police were not releasing their names.
There were no signs of trauma on the bodies, but police did not know if the deaths were accidental or homicides, Landwehr said. Autopsies were being performed, and investigators were treating the deaths as suspicious.
A family member called police about 3:30 a.m. to report the children missing. They were last seen Wednesday evening, Landwehr said.
Landwehr said he thought it was the mother who called police, but was not sure.
He said the children lived in the house with their mother, a 10-month-old child, their grandfather, an uncle and another man, described by police as their mother's husband or boyfriend.
The refrigerator, in the basement of the home, was plugged in and appeared to be functioning. It was not being used as the main refrigerator, but Landwehr did not know if there was anything else in it.
Police drove away with the white Philo refrigerator strapped in the back of a police truck shortly after 11 a.m. An empty, inflatable swimming pool; a bicycle; balls; and a swing set littered the front yard of the house where the children lived.
Claud Hardrick, 68, who lives next door, said he woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of wailing and crying.
"Somebody over there was squawking and raising the roof," he said. He looked outside, but couldn't see anything.
While he was watering his lawn later in the morning, a policeman told him what had happened. There were police cars and
ambulances parked in front of the house. "I knew it had to be something terrible for all the commotion," he said.
National Affirmative action ban becomes law in California
SAN FRANCISCO — After nearly a year of legal challenges, California's affirmative action ban became westerday—the 34th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech.
Thousands of the law's opponents streamed across the Golden Gate Bridge in protest of California becoming the first state in the nation to eliminate race and gender considerations in everything from hiring to education.
California voters passed the measure, Proposition 209, last November by a 54 percent margin, but the ban has been tied up in the courts since. The American Civil Liberties Union and other opponents tried to have it struck down, but the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals refused Tuesday to block implementation while it is appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
King's famous speech in Washington in 1963 was on the marchers' minds as they trooped across the bridge, four and five abreast on a pedestrian sidewalk, chanting and singing "We Shall Overcome." The protest, followed by a rally, was peaceful and traffic was not disrupted.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson, who organized the march, urged Proposition 209 opponents to continue fighting.
Michael Brown admits guilt of election-law violation
WASHINGTON — The son of the late Commerce Secretary Ron Brown pleaded guilty yesterday to a misdemeanor election-law violation, admitting he gave $4,000 to friends to donate to a Senate campaign.
The admission by Michael A. Brown was part of a deal with the task force set up by the Justice Department to investigate campaign fund-raising abuses. Brown's was the third plea obtained by the task force.
Brown, 32, admitted in federal court to giving an unlawfully excessive donation to the 1994 re-election campaign of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass.
Prosecutors agreed not to recommend any prison term for Brown, who could be sentenced to up to a year and fined as much as $100,000. Sentencing was scheduled for Nov. 21.
As part of the deal, Brown agreed to cooperate with the Justice Department's investigation of fund-raising abuses and of Nolanda Hill, a former business partner of Ron Brown, prosecutor Raymond N. Hulser told reporters.
Hill's dealings with Ron Brown had been scrutinized by an independent counsel appointed to investigate the former commerce secretary. The Hill investigation was referred to the Justice Department
Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., said Brown's plea bargain does not suggest political favoritism because this has been the practice in the past by the Justice Department.
last year after Ron Brown and others on a U.S. trade mission died in a plane crash in Croatia.
But Congress may want to reassess the penalties and the Justice Department guidelines to determine if stifter sanctions are warranted, he said.
Economic worries continue as growth remains steady
WASHINGTON — Spring and early summer were supposed to provide the damper on inflation that would help the good times last. But a sharply revised report yesterday put economic growth at a robust 3.6 percent, raising worries that mild price increases may accelerate.
The Commerce Department's latest second-quarter estimate of the gross domestic product, the sum of all goods and services produced within the United States, contrasts with the sedate 2.2 percent rate reported a month ago.
The largest such revision in 31/2 years, it substantially wiped out what analysts had viewed as a welcome respite from the rapid 4.9 percent growth rate in the first three months of the year.
"Here we thought we were pausing and we weren't. We were doing better than we thought," said economist Robert G. Dederick of Northern Trust Co. in Chicago.
Separately, the Labor Department said first-time claims for unemployment benefits fell last week by a larger-than-expected 16,000 to 232,000.
Jittery Wall Street traders dumped stocks, pushing the Dow Jones average of industrial stocks down 129 points in the morning. The average recovered and was up as much as 25 points but then faltered, closing down 92.90 at 7,694.43.
After last month's GDP report, the stock market soared to a record 8,259.31 on Aug. 6. Traders believed the apparent slowdown meant Federal Reserve policy-makers had no reason to quell inflationary pressures by raising interest rates to engineer still-slower growth.
But since then, worries about future inflation have sent stocks on a roller-coaster ride and the market's value, as measured by the Dow average, has dropped nearly 7 percent over the past three weeks.
At least so far though, inflation isn't a problem. A price measure tied to GDP rose at a scant 1.5 percent annual rate in the second quarter, the mildest in five years.
ATLANTA — The suicide rate in the West was higher than in any other region between 1990 and 1994, and government researchers aren't sure why.
Suicides more common in Western states, CDC says
The 13-state Western region had 38,709 suicides during that period, a rate of about 14.1 suicides per 100,000 people, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said yesterday. The rate was lowest in the nine-state Northeast, at 9.3 per 100,000.
In the South, encompassing 16 states and the District of Columbia, the rate was 13.1. In the 12-state Midwest, it was 11.4.
Researchers aren't sure if unemployment and isolation are more prevalent in the West, said Dr. Alex Crosby, a CDC medical epidemiologist.
"It's possible they may be factors," he said. "If we can answer some of the questions about why the West is high, that might help us look at the problems in other areas."
Because suicide rates are generally higher for men, the elderly and certain ethnic groups, the agency adjusted the rates to reflect the population makeup of each region. Even then, the Western rate was 71 percent higher than that of the Northeast.
The South's rate remained at 13.1, and the rate for the Midwest fell slightly to 10.9.
International Stone-throwing Serbs greet NATO-led troops in Bosnia
TUZLA, Bosnia-Herzegovina — NATO-led troops took up positions in at least two towns early yesterday to prevent violence between Serb factions, but drew an angry response from stone-throwing civilians, witnesses and officials said.
The peace force, in a statement, said it moved to "deter the outbreak of violence" after receiving indications that forces loyal to Bosnian Serb President Biljana Plavic would try to take control of police stations and the media in Serb-held areas of northern Bosnia.
Plavsic is locked in a power struggle with officials loyal to war crimes suspec Radovan Karadzic.
While NATO troops already have taken action against police loyal to Plavic in her northern power base of Banja Luka, international officials strongly support her drive to isolate Karadzic.
The NATO statement said that both regular police and the better-equipped special police were reported to be carrying unauthorized long-barrel weapons.
NATO said its troops — which included Americans — were positioning themselves to prevent violence, were conducting reconnaissance, and were supporting U.N. police whose job it is to monitor local police units.
However, they met an angry reception. Ljuba Maratovic, director of the proKaradzic radio station in Brcko, said soldiers of the NATO-led peace force equipped with armored vehicles, most of them Americans, arrived at the main Brcko police station during the night.
He said in a telephone interview that local officials and citizens prevented them from entering, and that the soldiers had to withdraw. However, they remained in the town.
Eyewitnesses said stones were thrown at NATO vehicles, and that they heard
shots fired — but it was unclear by whom or whether anyone was injured.
The local radio station appealed for citizens to come and defend the city. Sirens wailed in the streets.
Brcko residents said that the local police chief, Andria Mileovic, recently had switched sides in the power struggle and now was supporting Plavic.
The Associated Press
Other witnesses reported a heavy presence of the peace force near Bjeljina, in the northeast corner of Bosnia near the border with Serb-led Yugoslavia.

Center to ease advising problems
By Matthew Friedrichs
Kansan staff reporter
John Gray, Wichita sophomore,
expected advice about classes last
fall when he went to see his
adviser at the University of
Kansas.
Instead, his adviser surfed the Web trying to find information about Italy while Gray waited for a signature, he said.
The new Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center will attempt to address the advising complaints of Gray and other KU students, said Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle, the center's director.
"I think there's always been a concern about how we can best provide good academic advising for students that is not only enrollment advising." Tuttle said.
This fall the office will provide advising to the Mount Oread Scholars and other selected student groups.
Also, the advising center will soon have its own Web page which will announce programs and services as well as provide answers to commonly asked advising questions.

Services and staff are expected to grow in the next year. The office is searching for an associate director who will manage advising programs and an assistant director who will work with special programs including the Freshman Summer Institute and the Mount Oread Scholars, Tuttle said.
Once the associate and assistant directors are hired, Tuttle said she envisioned an advising center staffed by faculty, professional advisers, graduate students and peer advisers.
When fully operational, the center will provide comprehensive
advising about enrollment, choosing majors and selecting career interests. Tuttle said.
"In addition to having accurate and comprehensive information, students very much felt that personalized advising is key," she said.
Students agree.
"I've had a different adviser every semester," said Nate Brinson, Edwardsville, Ill., sophomore. "I want to be able to go in to my adviser and have him or her have an idea about what I'm doing."
There is some uncertainty about what will happen to freshman and sophomore advising now done by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the School of Fine Arts, the School of Engineering, and the School of Architecture & Urban Design.
"We're still negotiating that with the deans," said Associate Provest Kathleen McCluskev-Fawcett.
McCluskey-Fawcett said it would take about three years to iron out the last wrinkles in a program as complex as a centrally-located advising center.
If a dial-in account has not been renewed by 5 p.m. Sunday, it will no longer operate.
Dial-in accounts
If not renewed, the dial-in account will lay dormant for the month of September, after which a new account will need to be created.
There is no penalty for failing to renew an account.
■ E-mail accounts do not have to be renewed. They remain active as long as you are enrolled in classes or are a faculty or staff member.
The new pay structure for dial-in accounts will be in effect for the entire school year: $30 per half year up to 50 hours on-line per month and 50 cents per hour thereafter.
■ Dialin accounts can be renewed from any computer online by going to:
www.ukans.edu/account.htm
New digitial accounts or e-mail
accounts can also be established
from this Web site at anytime

Don't expose faculty evaluations; expand Student Senate's agenda
Unless he changes gears soon, Scott Sullivan will waste his year as student body president. Continuing to pursue the issue of professor evaluations can only lead to dead-end negotiations and inactivity in the Student Senate.
Through his comments at Convocation and his letter published in the "Kansan," Sullivan made it clear that allowing student access to evaluations would be the focus of his term. While the issue does deserve some attention, it should not overshadow more pressing matters such as the University of Kansas' struggling bus system, recycling woes and the need for a campus escort service.
Even if the administration agrees to Sullivan's demands, many complications remain. Questions of the accuracy and fairness of the surveys immediately come to mind.
The Senate has the power to make so many changes, it would be a shame to squander its term on an issue that is a blatant smokescreen. Please, direct your energies to problems that need immediate attention, problems that could be solved this year. Students may enjoy reading about professors and classes, but they will be furious if the buses stop.
Sullivan and other senators have little to show for their efforts last year. Instead of trying to push the same beast through the same small window this fall, they should look for another door. In other words, Senate should consider letting someone else handle the evaluation issue.
for example, the University publishes evaluations in the campus newspaper. The journalist's creed to fully research work, combined with freedom of the press guarantees, makes the paper a logical choice. Also, a separate action group or organization that could dedicate all of its time to the issue and bypass Senate procedures may be more effective. Either way, the issue would still get attention but student government could spend time on other issues.
Unfortunately, Sullivan appears to be oblivious to the fact that he is driving the powerful Senate into a year of wasted efforts littered with bickering. Student government cannot afford to focus on professor evaluations when it has the potential to effect many other positive changes. It's just not worth it.

Beer-drinking students still study
The University of Kansas does not measure up in the Princeton Review. As of August 21, 1997 the University of Kansas is known nationwide as the No. 8 party school. Before you throw your hands in the air with excitement, there are many other statistics of which you should be aware.
As well as being eighth, we also are fifth on the list of "Students who almost never study." Fifth out of 311 colleges that were analyzed is not a good statistic. Companies everywhere are looking for graduates from respectable colleges. Partying is not a skill that they will be looking for.
Our academics are in poor shape. On a scale of 60 to 100 points, with 100 being the highest, the University of Kansas was ranked a 65. These ratings
are not entirely the student's fault. The administration, faculty and facilities are included in this category as well.
How many of your classes are taught by teaching assistant? Think about registration. All of you have had a problem at one point or another. Either you could not get into a class or your whole enrollment was dropped. How many times have you tried searching for a computer on campus and not found one? One KU student that was included in the survey correctly said, "computer facilities are woefully inadequate." Something needs to change. Budig Hall is a step in the right direction. School officials need to do their part in increasing our ratings by taking more steps like that.
Do not lose faith in the University just yet. The Princeton Review is not entirely accurate. Tom Hutton director of University Relations said, "The Princeton Review is a whimsical look at colleges. They are not a professional institute and should not be taken seriously."
There is nothing wrong with partying, but do not make that the only attractive aspect of the University. Here is how the Princeton Review is describing us: beer drinking students who rarely study and do not measure up on their academic scale. Change this perception. Do not give the Princeton Review a chance to discredit you. Show the Princeton Review who you really are: beer-drinking, intelligent, future leaders of

Delta Force cynicism is uninformed criticism
Read the Delta Force posters on campus, and you may get the idea that nothing ever goes right on Mount. Oread, The posters decry Student
Senate, KU on Wheels, the chancellor and probably would have moved on to grouse about losing last year's election had they not run out of space.
Andy Obermueller
aober@kansan.com
I'm nobody's dupe or puppet. And I'm no yesman for Strong Hall or a lieutenant for "The Man," whoever he is. But I am an ardent supporter of the University and its administration. I also have faith in Student
Senate. Push come to shove, I'm even glad that Coke is on campus, so long as they don't try to remodel the Campanile into a contour-shaped bottle.
Delta Force, the campus-activist group whose propaganda leads student to believe that everyone at the University is the victim of the evil administration, has itself fallen victim to cynicism. They draw on students who feel excluded or ignored — as any student at a large university is bound to feel some time — and provide inclusion and acceptance.
Jason Fizell, Delta Force's front man, who thankfully failed in his bid for student body president, has turned his campaign coalition into a campus organization. Admittedly, Fizell has built a strong network, and his efforts to build a diverse, grassroots organization have been impressive. But his group seems to be unable to find one thing it likes. It's easier to find something to tear down than it is to find something to build up, and Fizell and Company have perceptrated the biggest cop-out in University history.
Columnist Molly Ivins once wrote, "Being a cynic is so contemptibly easy. If you're a cynic, you don't have to invest anything in your work. No effort, no pride, no compassion, no sense of excellence, nothing."
Delta Force hasn't invested anything — save a few posters — in their efforts. They don't have pride in or respect for anything. Everything the group stands for is take-oriented. There's no giving back, no willingness to meet anyone half way. They belong to a self-selecting elite that thinks it knows best and is noble for championing the oppressed student. And because of this, they feel that to work with anyone else would be bowing to The Establishment.
Let me clue Delta Force and any potential recruits in on a dirty little campus secret. There is no Establishment. There isn't a smoke-filled room where University officials devise ways to hose students. Every administrator I've met in the last four years has been willing to go out of his or her way to help. They work long hours for not much money and even less respect, whether from Delta Force or even the Editorial Board.
Students can make a difference without subscribing to a tear-down-Strong-Hall group like Delta Force. Anyone who wants to work on any campus problem can, given some time and effort, affect change. Delta Force has never had an idea that Student Senate hasn't debated and worked toward.
If Delta Force would combine it formidable skill in organization building and team up with instead of against Student Senate, then their concerns might be addressed. But without something to complain about and make him feel important, Jason Fitzell wouldn't have anything to do, except, heaven forbid, iron his pants, cut his hair, shave his chin and get a real job.
There will come a day when Fizell will be forced to swallow some bitter medicine. It may come when he's watching a KU football game or revisiting campus. And then it will hit him. He'll realize that he spent the majority of his college career tearing things down instead of building things up. He'll discover that he was so full of anger and so devoid of self-esteem that he could never be happy enough to realize that most things on campus get done pretty well: Most buses run on time and under budget. Most problems get solved, most students get served. He'll see that his actions threw out the baby with the bath water.
Delta Force's new poster reads, "And they hoped we would just go away."
No. "We" just hoped that you would grow up.

limits of language. Were there no strong personal pronouns in the English language, the perception of the individual certainly would be different.
Language is a weapon. Though sticks and stones have broken my bones, they have healed; anyone who has been left unscathed by words is stronger than me. Conversely, using insulting words to refer to ourselves shields us by creating "selves" where we have been made "others." Often there is no other option for the persecuted.
There are few things more powerful than language. Much of humanity endeavors take from the earth in the forms of ore, fuel and nutrients. Language takes none of these. The positive results of effective language outlast any structure — who knows of the Tower of Babel but for the story?
Use language to your best advantage. It is the only way to advocate your values without committing crimes against your fellow man. Gandhi used language to help liberate a nation, and the words that comprise history forever will be remembered.
Words are your best weapon. We have all heard that the pen is mightier than the sword. At the turn of the century, one of the words that cuts to the quick is community.
Community. Say it out loud and you will feel a certain energy one does not feel from the word alone. Community is a word never far from mind when you think of belonging, friendship or solidarity. Whether you live in an apartment, residence hall or fraternity, you are part of a community. With communities come certain shared assumptions that may be as specific as participating in government or as simple as paying your share of the bills.
Many people rally around the cry "get government out of your life," but they forget government often steps in to perform a function that our communities have stopped performing. They advocate loosened restrictions on personal freedom but do not work to protect the freedoms of those less empowered. This can de-evolve with horrible effects: who wants to live in a society where all are free to smoke pot and oppress the poor?
Many Americans value this above cooperation, compassion and acceptance. They need to be educated and held accountable to the greater, more democratic community each of us should work towards in our own way each day of our lives. They also need to read the writing on the wall rather than the "Wall Street Journal."
Amnesty International espouses the belief in a fourth "R" beyond reading, 'riting, and 'rithmic. Rights, as in human rights.
Regardless of how invested you feel in Lawrence, this is your home — if only for nine months of the year. Crimes against your neighbor could just as easily be committed against you. Likewise, the rewards your neighbors reap from their hard work could as easily be yours.
However, the effects of the "Me" generation have taken a toll on our idea of community. Commuter towns and a growing suburban "I moved here to escape those problems" mentality also are at fault, although this attitude is a drug more dangerous than any you thought you had escaped by moving. But the magic word "community" gains momentum in Lawrence daily.
I believe in a fifth, often forgotten "R" – responsibility. Take care of yourself and your neighbor. Though it is easy to get caught up in the idea that your neighbor's fight is not your own, the next fight may be yours. Then you'll value your community.

Regional, national bands rock Kansas City festival
By Tom Winter
Kansan staff writer
The 13th annual Kansas City Spirit Fest kicks off at 6 p.m. today and will run until 11:30 p.m. Sunday. Each night of the festival there will be a different headlining act on the main stage. The Australian band INXS will perform at 9:30 tonight. They will be promoting their new album "Elegantly Wasted".
Blues legend B.B. King will be headlining at 9:45 tomorrow night. It will be King's fourth visit to the Spirit Fest.
The main stage also will feature other nationally popular acts tomorrow evening. A couple of those bands will be Magic Dick Bluestime featuring Jay Geils at 6:15, and The Robert Cray Band at 8:45.
On Sunday night, Bob Dylan will play the main stage at 9:30. This is Dylan's second trip to the Spirit Fest. BR5-49 will open for him at 8 p.m.
Kelly Mason, Overland Park sophomore, said she planned to go to Spirit Fest Sunday to see
Bob Dylan.
"I've never been able to see him before," she said. "I'm afraid he might be kind of ate up or strung out."
Aside from the main stage, there will be an abundance of music on 10 other stages to highlight acts from the Kansas City area. Stages will be set up for music including country, blues, jazz, gospel, folk and funk.
A reggae stage will feature Lawrence favorite Common Ground at 9:30 tomorrow night. Also, for the fourth consecutive year, KLZR will sponsor a New Rock stage showcasing regional acts such as Danger Bob, the Urge, Kill Creek, Frogpond and TV 50.
Roger Formanek, program director at KLZR, said he expected good crowds this year because of the caliber of the acts they have lined up.
Because of parking problems in previous years, the organizers of Spirit Fest have arranged a busing service which will run from the Country Club Plaza down Main Street to Grand

Wet T-shirt contest draws patrons, criticism
Tremors features near-nude show
By Racholle Detweller
Kansan staff writer
Kansan staff writer
The once-crowded dance floor is now empty, except for three 30-gallon jugs of warm water and three plastic baby pools.
It is midnight, Wednesday, at Tremors,
749 New Hampshire.
A few cheers break the tension as three women walk on stage in tiny T-shirts and boxer shorts.
As the water hits Barbara Hopkins, she laughs and bends backwards while dancing, doing her best to win the $100 cash prize for the first-place winner. In December, a grand finale will be held. The first prize winners from each competition will compete for a $1,000 cash prize.
For the next 10 minutes, the club's owner, Dennis Steffes, monitors the crowd's response with a hand-held volume meter as the disc jockey yells into the microphone to warm the crowd.
The meter's indicator needle is the fairest way to measure audience response and determine a winner, Steffes said.
A
Tremors began holding its Wednesday wet T-shirt contest last October. Business has more than doubled since then, Steffes said. About 100 people attended Wednesday's show.
Despite occasional rowdy men, no contestants have been touched or harassed, Steffes said. The club owner takes precautions against negative behavior.
"This is supposed to be a clean event," Steffes said. "The worst they do is get wet."
Bouncers line the stage during the show to ensure the contestants' safety and to
prevent any woman from stripping,
Steffes said.

After her performance, Hopkins wanders through the crowd in the white T-shirt provided by the club. To the disappointment of many of the club's patrons, she is now mostly dry.
"I'm a good sport, so I'm not disappointed," Hopkins said, about her second-place finish. "She seemed like a nice girl. It was good fun and no big deal."
The men in the crowd were also having fun.
Hopkins said that this was her first time to enter a wet T-shirt contest. During the day, she works in the medical field and has a 7-year-old child. She said she saw the competition as a way to have fun.
Austin Karns, Onaga freshman, said that he would return to the club. But he was surprised at the contest's turnout — only four contestants — considering the large amount awarded for first prize.
Despite Hopkins' and Karns' enthusiasm for the event, some students seem to be leery of the nightclub's weekly feature. And Steffes is aware of their concerns.
"From rumors going around town, it's sextist," Steffes said. "That's why we try to do the balance and do things for women too."
But some female students still object to the club's Wednesday entertainment.
Elise Feinberg, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, said that although the club also offers male shows, she doesn't condone the contests.
The club offered a Playgirl International show Wednesday night at 7:30 p.m..before the contest.
"I wouldn't go there," she said while reading the essay "Pornography Hurts Women" for her freshman composition class. "It's depressing that there's a market for that. The whole idea makes me sick."

Renovations finished, Crimson Cafe opens
Burge's new cafeteria offers variety, space
After five years of planning, the Burge Union cafeteria has been recreated with a touch of school spirit.
The Crimson Cafe opened last Monday, decorated with school colors end offering a wider variety of easily accessible food choices.
The old cafeteria, which was called the Hawk Stop, had one line which often reached out the door, said Jay Glatz, manager of food services for the Kansas and Burge Unions. The remodeled cafeteria has one large, open area with a variety of counters offering different types of food.
"It's more efficient for a customer to grab something and go, or sit down and enjoy a nice meal." Glatz said.

The Hawk Stop had a limited menu, but the Crimson Cafe offers brand names such as Pizza Hut, Bagel & Bagel, and Sara Lee. Other options are the Carvery, a brand that was developed by the Union and offers home-style food, and the Rotisserie, a Kansas City-based company that specializes in coffee.

Glatz said he was excited about the selection and the quality of products.
"The intent was to bring in the best." he said.

"The cafeteria was showing its wear." he said.
The cost of the renovations totaled between $600,000 and $700,000, which came from the Union's expansion fund. Glatz said the Hawk Stop was out-of-date and needed a change.
During the planning for the Crimson Cafe in 1992, a consultant was brought in to organize focus groups and conduct phone surveys of students, faculty and staff. The University of Kansas' Office of Institutional Research and Planning also sent out mail surveys to find out what people wanted in the new cafeteria.
"I think it's nice having the option of both the fast food or the more traditional," she said.
that she probably would eat at the Crimson Cat's more often.
Debbie Luman, who works in the athletic department, said she occasionally ate at the Hawk Stop but
Glatz said that the surveys determined that people wanted traditional food along with well-known brands. Sandwiches and pizza were among the most popular requests.
Lisa McKenzie, Topeka second-year law student, ate in the new cafeteria for the first time earlier this week.
"The building looks so much better and brighter," she said.

Cathleen Hull, Lawrence second-year law student, said the Hawk Stop was more of a hang out for law students and athletes who had a break during the day.
"There are more people in here now than I have ever seen," she said.
The Crimson Cafe is open from 7 a.m. until 3 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Despite opponent's losses Iowa State concerned
The Associated Press
DES MOINES. Iowa — Try as he might, Iowa State coach Dan McCarney probably won't be able to avoid it.
When Iowa State opens the football season against Oklahoma State in Ames tomorrow night, the focus won't be on who is playing for Oklahoma State, but who isn't.
Ten Oklahoma State players have been declared academically ineligible and another has been suspended for disciplinary reasons. Five were starters for coach Bob Simmons' team.
McCarney's challenge is keeping his players thinking about what they have to do and not who'll be lining up across from them.
"Our whole focus is the improvement of this football team and the strides we make," McCarney said. "Oklahoma State is a fine program. They have a lot of good players and an excellent coaching staff. We have to be ready to play because Bob Simmons' teams always are. We've got to make sure we're at a peak performance.
Iowa State quarterback Todd Bandhauer said the Oklahoma State suspensions won't change the Cyclones' preparation.
Besides, McCarney noted, "We've got enough challenges here at Iowa State without worrying about problems at other schools."
"We're not getting caught up in all that," he said. "It can develop into a distraction and I'm not going to let that happen with this football team."
Six Oklahoma State players were declared ineligible Friday, including starting tailback Andre Richardson and linebacker Raymond Cato, who led the 196 team in tackles.
"Obviously, we were surprised they lost so many players," Bandhauer said. "But we're really not focusing on who they lost, we're focusing on playing Oklahoma State. We're concentrating on our game and what we're going to see."
- Four others were dismissed earlier this month, including starting cornerbacks J.B. Flowers and Alvin Porter. Terrance Richardson, a starting wide receiver and Andre's brother, was suspended for the season in a disciplinary move.
"All of us have a lot of challenges," McCarney said. "One.of the toughest jobs we all have as head coaches is to academically motivate and superise and try to get the best out of our kids in the classroom, too. It's a tough job, an extremely tough job."
But McCarney said even with the suspensions, Oklahoma State will be a formidable opponent for the Cyclones, who were 2-9 last season and gave up 539 yards in a 28-27 loss at Oklahoma State.
"There's no shortage of players at Oklahoma State," McCarney said. "They've done as good a job recruiting or better over the three years we've been here. We're still going to have our hands full Saturday night."
"We very much anticipate good players taking the field for Oklahoma State at every position on the field."
Regarding his own team, McCarney said four newcomers will play for sure tomorrow night and two others might see action.
Freshman Carl Gomez will be the punter and freshman linebacker Reggie Hayward will play as a backup. Another freshman, Breon Ansley, is a second-team cornerback and junior college transfer William Perryman will see action at tight end.
McCarney also said freshman Andy Stensrud might get some time at tight end and walk-on Chris Anthony, a freshman wide receiver from Pleasant Valley, might be on some special teams.

Jayhawks blazing in opener
Interceptions special teams drive shutout
By Kelly Cannon
kcannon@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The second time Alabama-Birmingham visited Memorial Stadium ended much like the first — scoreless for the Blazers.
Kansas, and its defense in particular, was too much for UAB, which was shut out 24-0 last night in its second meeting with the Jayhawks.
Kansas' first points came early in the second quarter. Kansas was on UAB's 25-yard line on fourth down with one yard to go. Running back Eric Vann pushed ahead three yards to keep the drive alive. Kansas reached UAB's one-yard line but was penalized for an illegal procedure. That set up a field goal by freshman Joe Garcia.
Kansas won the first meeting in 1994.72-0.
"It was about what I expected," Kansas football coach Terry Allen said. "We did some good things defensively. Offensively, we struggled. We'll get better."
A batched punt by UAB set up an 11-yard touchdown run by Vann with 12 minutes left in the second quarter. Three minutes later junior linebacker Patrick Brown intercepted a UAB pass and ran 51 yards for a touchdown.
"I saw some potential in Joe Garcia," Allen said. "He has got some weapons."
All three of Kansas' touchdowns came from UAB blunders.
Brown started the second half in similar fashion, intercepting another pass and returning it 23 yards for a touchdown. Allen said he was pleased with Brown's performance.
"Pat Brown made some big things happen." Allen said. "He did some great things defensively."
Brown's feat marks the third time in NCAA history, and the first time in KU history, that a linebacker has returned two interceptions for touchdowns in one game.
"Our line was not real good." Allen said. "We matured during the game. An offensive line is all about communication and we lost some communication battles."
Offensively, Allen said the team needed work.
Four times during the game, Kansas attempted to get a first down on fourth down instead of punting. The Jayhawks converted one of the four attempts.
A focus for the team was to minimize turnovers, a goal they accomplished.
"We had some ugly plays, but we didn't turn the ball over," Allen said.
"Sometimes you go for those and make it; sometimes you get blazed," Vann said. "A Division I team should be able to make one or two yards. It's a confidence builder, and you hope you get those."
Vann said that the offensive kinks would be worked out as the offense works more with each other.
"We don't want to look ugly." Vann said. "All we can do is go back to films. Perfection is hard to get and no one ever does."
Kansas' next game is against Texas Christian at 1 p.m. Sept. 6 at Memorial Stadium.

Linebacker steals show with first win
By Tommy Gallagher
tgallagher@kansas.com
Associate sports editor
Junior Pat Brown was a running back through high school and wanted to be one at Kansas.
As it happened, he was converted to a linebacker and stole the spotlight during the Jayhawks' 24-0 crushing of Alabama-Birmingham in Terry Allen's first game at Kansas last night.
63
Brown returned interceptions of 51 and 23 yards for touchdowns as the defense made up for a lackluster offense.
"We knew that the defense would have to carry the team for a while until the offense had built some confidence," Brown said. "We had to get them as many opportunities to score as we could to take the pressure off. So we made the big plays and did what we could to help us win."
Brown's first interception came when he read a screen pass on a third-and-two play near midfield. The second pick came while he dropped back into coverage on the first play of the second half.
Allen said the linebackers were the team's strength going into the season, and that the linebackers responded as he thought they would.
"Pat made the big plays, but we played solid defense all over the field," Allen said. "Things were going to happen on defense, and none of it was going to be negative."
Alabama-Birmingham ran the ball 30 times for just 45 yards. Even more telling, Kansas had
"Making big plays takes the pressure off our offense," senior linebacker Ron Warner said. "If we can play 100 percent of the time like we did tonight, we can step up and do some more things later in the season. But for now, we just have to take each game one at a time."
70 plays and 337 total yards as compared to the Blazers' 54 plays and 150 total yards.
Blazers freshman quarterback Lee Jolly, who had never thrown a pass in his collegiate career before last night, said that the Jayhawks' defense did
more than put pressure on the quarterback.
"There were a lot of times where they would take away the first, even second, receiver out of the play from the start," Jolly said. "A lot of the time I was forced to dump the ball to our wide receivers. They had a tremendous pass rush and you have to give Kansas nothing but credit for the way they played on defense."
But the night belonged to Brown, who said he was content at his position even though he wanted to play another position.

Nebraska's defense hopes to hold line
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska's defense started the 1996 season by scoring three touchdowns in a 55-14 win against Michigan State.
N TWEETS
But the team's All American defensive captain Grant Wistrom — w h o returned an
interception for one of those scores — wasn't predicting a repeat performance tomorrow against Akron, which went 4-7 last year.
No. 6 Nebraska's defense, with only three returning starters, gave up 334 yards and four touchdowns to its running backs during a team scrimmage last week.
"We looked kind of rusty last Friday and hopefully we'll be able to fix that through the week," said Wistrom.
The scrimmage wasn't all bad for the defense — second-string free safety Gregg List returned an interception 26 yards for a touchdown. But coach Tom
Osborne said it was impossible to tell how the unit would perform until it hit the field before 72,000 fans.
Nebraska, which won national championships in 1994 and 1995, had the No. 1 defense in the Big 12 last year (fifth in the nation) and gave up only 15 touchdowns and 3,065 yards, an average of 255.4 vards per game.
"Sometimes people react a bit differently in a game when the stands are full," Osborne said. "We'll have a lot of first-time starters. Will they get lined up correctly? Will they play like veterans?"
All that remains of that defense is Wistrom, tackle Jason Peter and cornerback Ralph Brown.
Nebraska's offense has more experience: six players return, including second-year starting quarterback Scott Frost, who completed 104 of 200 passes for 1,440 yards in 1996. I-back Ahman Green, who rushed for 91.7 yards per game, will be in the backfield.
Akron ranked ninth out of 10 teams for total offense in the Mid-American Conference with 3,136 yards — an average of 285.1 yards per game.
Two starters at Texas Tech suspended before game
LUBBOCK, Texas — An ongoing NCAA investigation into Texas Tech athletics has forced suspensions of two players for tomorrow's game against No. 5 Tennessee, the

wednesday.
Chancellor
John T. Montford said that
two players
were suspended in relation to a 18-month-old NCAA probe. Citing school policy, however, he declined to identify the players.
F
"We are simply carrying out an NCAA directive," Montford said. "The action has been pending for quite some time."
"The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal" quoted an unidentified athletic department source who said that linebacker Eric Butler and cornerback Tony Darden, both starters, were suspended for one game.
Both players were linked to a series of unauthorized long-distance calls made from athletic department phones between October 1995 and March 1996, the "Houston Chronicle" reported in April.

Peyton Manning, eager to start his final season, gets his chance tomorrow when the Heisman Trophy favorite leads No. 5 Tennessee against Texas Tech before a sellout crowd of more than 102,000 at Neyland Stadium.
"It's an exciting time," Manning said. "It's what I've been waiting for for a long time. It seems like the offseason was getting longer and longer and longer. Practices inten-

to Florida, but still threw for 3,287 yards and 20 touchdowns in '96.
But Manning, who opted to stay in school rather than turn pro, is college football's brightest star. Last year, he saw his Heisman chances disappear with four first-half interceptions in a 35-29 loss
The Volunteers return 14 starters, including wide receiver Marcus Nash, a veteran offensive line and Leonard Little, who opens at middle linebacker.
The Red Raiders, meanwhile, saw Byron Hanspard opt for the NFL and are still looking for an I-back to complement quarterback Zebbie Lethridge (1,686 yards, 11 TDs).

Women's soccer fighting injuries
By Harley Ratliff
Kanban sportswriter
Karisan sportswriter
Kansas women's soccer head coach Dan Magner has his team pumped and prepared for today's season opener against Illinois State.
Now, if he can just keep his players healthy.
In his first year as head coach, Magner has seen a number of his players fall victim to injuries. During the last week starting midfielder Jackie Dowell, goalkeeper Jennifer Fecke and freshmen Katie Garrity and Katie Lentz have all been sidelined.
While Fecke and Dowell are expected to play, Garrity and Lentz, who both have mononucleosis, will be out indefinitely. Despite a lingering knee injury, Fecke has been penciled in as the Jayhawks' starting goal keeper.
Dowell's situation is a little more precarious. She injured her lower back earlier in the week and has missed several practices.
when it happened I was in my car driving to practice. It was a severe pain coming from my back."
"I started having terrible shooting pain down my left leg about a week ago," Dowell said. "Right
After viewing her X-rays, the doctors concluded that Dowell had a stress fracture in her lowest vertebrae. The only remedy: plenty of rest.
While she has been give full clearance to play, the junior co-captain said that the pain lingered.
"They told me I was 100 percent full go," she said. "I feel good, but my back has still been tightening up."
Magner said that while he was counting on reserve players to step up, he planned to play Dowell.
"Jackie is certainly an integral part of our team," Magner said. "Realistically, she will be able to play about half of a game on Friday and half on Sunday. We'll have to be ready with alternative plans and alternative line-ups, should someone be unable to play."
Regardless of injuries, the Jayhawks will be counting on several newcomers, including forward Lindsey Horner, to contribute solid minutes against both Illinois

State and Eastern Illinois.
"I'm excited for the season," Horner said. "With just one forward (in our new offense), I didn't expect to come in and start right away."
Despite the injuries and inexperience, Magner said that his team was ready to play. After two weeks of playing against each other, he said that his players were anxious to get on the field in live competition.
"The women are very excited—and a little bit nervous—about playing against another team," Marner said.
The players, however, aren't the only ones with preseason butterflies. Because this is his first regular-season game as a Jayhawk, Magner would like nothing better than to open up with a win.
"I'm definitely nervous—I'm not going to lie about that," Magner said. "But, I wouldn't say scared. I can't wait for that opening whistle to blow and that first game to begin."

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — It's going to be like old times Labor Day weekend, the way it used to feel in Kansas City when the Royals were barreling down the back stretch of a hot pennant chase and happy fans were la y i n g plans for postseason parties.

Cardinals would have won the series four games to two, they say.
