(USPS 650-640)
The Kansas men's and women's basketball teams completed their second Big 12 Conference regular season on a familiar note—winning.
The women's team sparked the victorious weekend Saturday with a 76-65 win against Missouri, insuring the Jayawaks an unbeaten regular-season record at Allen Field House. The win also meant that the women's lone senior, center Koya Scott, could walk away from the field house as a winner one last time. The women walked away in third place in the Big 12 Conference and guaranteed a first-round bye in the conference tournament.
The men's team finished its regular season by besting Oklahoma State the champions of the Big 12 South Division.

The Jayhawks escaped one of the Big 12's most difficult road environments, Gallagher-Iba Arena, with a 71-67 victory. Behind Ryan Robertson's first four-half three-pointers and the team's overall ability to dominate the offensive boards, the Jayhawks maintained an 8 to 10 point lead throughout most of the game.

Both the men's and women's teams will continue their seasons this week at the Big 12 tournament. The No. 3 seed women should be one of the favorites to win, behind Iowa State and Big 12 regular-season champion Texas Tech.
The men will enter the Big 12 tournament as the No.1 seed, after losing just one game in conference play.

Final elections code keeps campaigning limits
Results of elections could be questioned because of new rule
By Melissa Ngo
mngo@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The Elections Commission's decision to limit passive campaigning on election days is unconstitutional unless the University of Kansas is able to show there is a significant interest in restricting free speech, University general counsel Victoria Thomas announced Thursday.
The elections code has been finalized, and it cannot be changed until after the elections' results have been validated, said Brad Finkeldei. Elections Commission chair and Wichita sophomore.
Scott Sullivan, student body president and Lenessa senior, said that the commission could suspend the rule. He said if the commission kept the sidewalk campaigning limitations, candidates had two choices.
"The candidates can ignore the rule because apparently they'll win if they sue. If they follow the rule and they lose, they can challenge the results of the elections saying that perhaps it wasn't a free and fair election because their rights were being violated," Sullivan said.
Thomas based her ruling on the 1997 Supreme Court decision in the Schnenck vs. Pro-Choice Network of Western New York case.
"The Court recognized that leafleting and commenting on matters of public concern are classic forms of speech that lie at the heart of the First Amendment, and
speech in public areas is at its most protected on public sidewalks. Thomas said.
According to Section 409E of the elections code, candidates are not allowed to campaign on any street, sidewalk or paved pathway on campus without the consent of a passerby.
Emily Heath, co-director at the Center for Community Outreach, said there were other ways for candidates to connect with students.
"I want sidewalk campaigning completely outlawed," Heath said. "I think that responsible candidates can try other ways to reach out to students instead of
shoving fliers at them during the week of the elections."
Sullivan said that the commission should follow the rulings of the general counsel.
"Victoria Thomas is qualified to discuss legal limitations, her job is to advise the University about the legality of its actions," he said. "The commission moved onto questionable grounds when it ignored her decision that campaign spending limits were illegal."
Appeals on the Elections Code can be filed with the University Judicial Board, according to Student Senate Rules and Regulations Section 6.5.3 E.
University Council approves fall break
Proposal awaits chancellor's OK
By Marc Sheforgen
msheforgen@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A fall break for students and faculty to relieve some of the stress that typically builds up in the middle of the fall semester was passed by University Council last Thursday.
If the proposal passes, the break will be on the Thursday and Friday between Oct. 13 and 20 of each year, but it will not go into effect until 1999 at the earliest.
Hemenway: will make final decision on fall break plan

The proposal will go to Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Provost David Shulenburger for final approval.
Jason Fitzell, Liberal Arts and Sciences senator and University Council member, has been involved with the

with fewer meeting davs.
Fizell said he was confident that once the chancellor had a chance to look over the plan and meet with council members to answer any questions, he would approve the plan.
"Spring break this semester makes it easier to come back rejuvenated for classes," she said. "I've always wondered why they have a break this semester but not in the fall."
Wendy Lopez, Overland Park junior, said that a fall break was logical.
Susan Byrne, St. Louis senior, said that she liked the idea of a mid-semester breather.
"I definitely wouldn't complain about getting a couple more days of break time," she said.
Byrne said that a break in the fall was especially necessary because students were going through the semester as the weather worsened, leaving nothing to look for.

The spring semester is more tolerable because as the weather warms, thoughts of summer can be inspiring, she said.
The fall break plan would not shorten the total number of school days for the first semester, but instead would extend the semester to accommodate the two days of break.
Thief steals ball worth $12,000
An autographed Spalding basketball worth $12,000 was stolen from the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity Feb. 21, Lawrence police said.
Sgt. Susan Hadd of the Lawrence Police Department said the ball, autographed by Dean Smith and the 1995-96 North Carolina basketball team, was stolen between 12:01 and 8 a.m. from the fraternity house's library at 1540 Louisiana Street.
Hadl said the missing ball was not reported to police until Wednesday. Police have no suspects in the case, she said.
"They thought at first it was a prank, and it would come back, but it didn't," Hadi said. Jim Mills, president of Phi Gamma Delta and Hutchinson junior, said the fraternity was more concerned about recovering the ball than pressing charges.
"We just like to see it back," he said. Mills said he thought the ball would be returned to its place in the fraternity's library.
"Hopefully, it'll be back soon," he said. Smith donated the basketball for the fraternity's April 1996 fund-raising auction, Mills said. The ball then was purchased by a former member of the fraternity for $12,000, he said.

People march to oppose sanctions against Iraq
NEW YORK — Chanting "Let Iraq Live" and carrying signs saying "End the Sanctions," about 1,600 protesters marched from Times Square to the United Nations Saturday to oppose military action against Iraq.
While an agreement signed by U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan and Iraq averted any immediate action last week, former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark and more than a dozen other speakers rallied against the continuing sanctions imposed on the Saddam Hussein regime.
The sanctions, which ban the sale of Iraqi oil except for food and medicine, seriously have damaged the once-whealty country. The U.N. Security Council says the sanctions will not be lifted until Iraq has complied with the weapons order.
"God help us if we do go ahead with any attacks," Clark said. "Third World people will think the U.S. will use weapons against anyone it chooses. We'll be alone in the world."
One Iraqi native who has lived in the United
States said the economic sanctions miss their target.
"I am against Saddam, but they are my people," said Nathan Hamid, 34, a biologist from New Jersey. "The ones who suffer are the children. They are the victims."

If chancellor says OK, new plan may keep booth runners away
By Marc Sheforgen
By Marc Sheforgen mssheforgen @kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The University Council approved the parking board's plan Thursday to crack down on booth runners.
The plan now will go before Chancellor Robert Hemenway. If approved by the chancellor, the plan would go into effect Aug. 1.
The plan calls for a $25 fine for first-time booth runners, a $50 fine for a second offense and a $75 fine for drivers who continue to disobey signs requiring drivers to have permits to drive on campus.
The original plan called for a verbal warning to be issued for first-time offenders, a written warning after a second offense, and a fine of $65 for each violation thereafter. However, the Senate Executive Committee decided that warnings would not be effective and revised the plan before sending it to University Council.
The parking department said that approximately 200 cars per day were running the booths and that congestion on campus was becoming a safety problem.
Cammi Heimann, Galesburg, Ill., graduate student, said that the idea was a good one, but that she did not think that safety was the big concern.
"I certainly don't agree with people who drive through campus when it's not allowed, but I don't buy the whole safety-issue thing," she said. "Once they get past the gate, they're not speeding."
Heimann said that she thinks students would think twice about running the booths if there was a threat of a fine but that the booth attendants may have their hands full trying to catch offenders.
"I think you would have to have another person in the booth to sort of be the license plate writer-downer," she said.

Boeing president urges unity
By Sara Anderson
Kansan staff writer
Working together is the key to a successful future, said the president of Boeing Information. Space and Defense Systems.
Alan Mulally, University of Kansas graduate and Lawrence native, spoke to about 700 KU students, faculty, staff and high school students Friday at the 1998 Engineering Expo at the Kansas Union Ballroom.
"It's about working together," Mulally said. "That's a tough concept at school because we weren't supposed to work together. It was called cheating. Now we treasure working together."
Bogdan Pathak, Albuquerque, N.M., senior.
said Mulally's speech hit home.
"I thought he was an excellent speaker, and what he said about how everyone needs to work together was important," Pathak said.
Mulally spoke about the 777 aircraft, the first to be designed entirely on computers. The project included 24,000 people in 238 design teams around the world.
Mulally, who served as vice president and general manager of the 777 division, said consumers ultimately would decide what has worth.
"The person that will decide the value will be us, the people of the world," he said. "We will decide what has value, so it's important to stay together."

Those who fought for freedom in Vietnam attack the growing totalitarianism in the social sciences; multiculturalism, dormitory re-education, radical feminism, sensitivity training, speech codes; political correctness, historical revisionism (particularly on the Vietnam War), leftist attacks on America and Democracy, postmodernism, deconstructionism. (The icons of the last two, Heidelger and Paul de Man, were both Nazi apologeties.) Replaced by Magnuer in an hour talk on KAW, Jan 9. "The campus is an island of repression in a sea of freedom." - Chester Finn, former Assistant Secretary of Education. (One hour)
"Open Letter to a Concerned Parent," talk by Magruder on why American students rank so poorly in international competition: "approximate" spelling and math, massive grade inflation to insure "self-esteem," mainstreaming the disabled, "look-say" over the clear superiority of phonetics, dropping the multiplication table, feminist brainwashing, literature chosen on the basis of gender, class and race, the attack on excellence, standards, and honors. "A comparison of the high school elite in science showed Americans close to the bottom of 16 nations." Journal World, Feb. 25, 1998
Plus, the psychonoxious impact of humanistic psychology (Rogers, Maslow, Kohlberg, etc.). "Research shows that psychological conditioning courses in high school (sex education, values clarification, affective education, etc.) are resulting in significant risis in violence, suicide, abortion, teen-age pregnancy, AIDS, racism and drug abuse." -Charles Sykes. Dumbling Down Our Kids. (One hour)

Feedback
KU Hillel director responds to course content request
As a member of the University of Kansas community, and as a Jew committed to social justice and the lessons of history, I am outraged at our state government's attempt to intimidate our faculty, administration and community.
I am not entirely surprised that someone in the Kansas legislature has demanded that all courses that broach the subject of homosexuality or bisexuality be identified. Nor will I be surprised if and when this same person who has chosen anonymity — at least Fred Phelps stands proudly behind his hatred — will insist that these courses, or those who teach them, be labeled, branded and segregated.
I am eager to see how those who are required to respond to this request from the capital will do so. As they ponder their options, please consider the following.
In 1943, at the height of Hitler's destruction of the Jews of Europe, the Nazis ordered the roundup of all Danish Jews for deportation.
These Jews had previously been identified, labeled, branded and segregated. However, rather than allow the Nazis to determine the fate of their brothers and sisters, their friends and neighbors, the Danish king and the people of Denmark, proved to Europe that, in fact, it was possible to make choices that would preserve the sanctity of human life.
It is said that the Danish king himself wore a yellow Star of David and encouraged all Danes to do the same, thereby standing with the Jewish people in the face of hatred and persecution. As a
result of this courage and solidarity, the vast majority of Danish Jews survived, while throughout Europe the Jewish people were being burned.
I urge all those accountable to the Board of Regents and to the State legislature to protect and stand with those in our community who could be threatened by this potential witch hunt. They are our brothers and our sisters, our friends and our neighbors.

Many vegetarian options available in Lawrence
This is in response to Nadia Mustafa's Feb. 27 editorial, "Vegetarian options few in Lawrence."
I have been a vegetarian since about fifth grade. I am not a vegan, but I also don't eat any meat or seafood.
After moving to Lawrence, I was surprised at all of the great eating establishments with vegetarian food and all of the varieties of food. True, Herbivores closed, but what about the places like Yello Sub, Glass Onion, Paradise Cafe, Rudy's, Wheatfields and Community Mercantile, to name a few? I have no problems finding great vegetarian food anywhere in Lawrence.
I think that before you write an editorial criticizing the vegetarian food in Lawrence,you need to get out more and find out that the eating establishments in Lawrence are all unique,and make great food.
I think that math undergraduate teaching assistants should have more experience. It would be more helpful to the math students because everyone wants teachers who know what they're talking about. An experienced teacher that has a good knowledge of teaching math would be able to teach the class better. The undergraduate teaching assistants often do not know what they're doing, which is why it takes some students two semesters just to pass Math 002 or Math 101.
When I was in Math 002, I didn't understand it at all. I've never been that great at math, but the teacher didn't do anything to make the situation better. My teacher was not prepared for class. The teacher would spend half of the class time going over homework problems that we didn't understand, and we would have less time to learn about the next day's assignments.

Undergraduate math instructors undertrained
I'm writing in response to Tina Terry's Jan. 22 column in The University Daily Kansan. I've often wondered exactly how many college students endure the torture of semester-long intermediate math courses each year instructed by overly-apprehensive, undertrained students labeled as "undergraduate teaching assistants." The column meant a lot to me because I was in that same situation.
My teacher was irresponsible because half of the time he would let class out early when he didn't feel like teaching. This took learning time from students. The only time I knew how to do the work was when I met with my tutor. My tutor explained the problems to me step by step so that I could learn how to do the problems.

Perspective
Drinking age arbitrary: People drink anyway
There's been a lot of talk about booze recently. As a liquor-store clerk and aspiring alcoholic, I thought it was my duty to examine the clerks' stories.
my duty to examine the al all the way to the bottom of the bottle.
Last week, our all-powerful Student Senate passed a resolution that opposes the state-mandated 21-year-old drinking age, and recommends making the legal age 18.
Senate should have recommended making it 20. If we're going to pick an arbitrary drinking age, we might as well round it off.
Daniel Thompson
opinion @ kansan.com
Not that it matters. If the drinking age was 10, there would be nine-year-olds with fake IDs.
I spend hours each week behind a counter, selling hooch to anyone who walks in off the street. I sell to the rich types who come in and buy over-priced, ritzy French Bordeaux wine. I sell to the blue-collar bunch who buy six-packs of Busch and Bud a little after 5 p.m. every day. I sell to the old men who demand their vodka in single guttural sounds: "Pint-Popov." I sell to the cheap, Mad Dog chugging, "wine" drinkers. MD, by the way, stands for Mogden-David—Mad Dog is just an ironic nickname.
I see a lot of fake IDs, but even my trained eye can be fooled. I probably sell to people who aren't 21. However, if you walk to the counter with Blue Hawaiian Mad Dog, I will ask for a second picture ID. I'm not going to jail so someone can get drunk at home. Go to the Bull or the Hawk like everyone else.
Having worked at a liquor store for more than a year, I have thought a lot about the drinking age issue. I have thought about it because it is intrinsically hypocritical to be able to die for your country and elect your leaders, yet not have a glass of wine with dinner.
Although it is illegal, if you're underage, you'll still get messed up. Maybe even have a two or three chemical night. That seems to be part of the human condition.
At the liquor store, I smell the weed wafting off peoples' clothes, I see the blood-shot eyes, and look into their quarter-sized pupils. I hear the deals for the harder stuff being brokered in the Tequila aisle.
And I'm still only talking about the "smart" college kids. Human beings will ingest about anything, it seems, to get all loopy.
I saw an explanation for this a couple
semesters ago in the Reaction Times, a scienlific newspaper.
I ran across an article about a scientist who was redefining the drives of animals. It seemed every rat, monkey or rabbit he put in a cage with an opportunity to get screwed up jumped at it. Therefore, he concluded, the drives of animals must be eating, sleeping, having sex and intoxication. His hypothesis was further validated by empirical evidence in the field — lemurs eating psychedelic plants and humans sniffing rubber cement.
People, like other animals, like to get messed up. I respect the ones that don't — I find them to be above the primal human appetite. I have the same reverence toward vegetarians and celibates. But give me a bottle of Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon and a big bloody piece of cow flesh, baby, and I'll swoon.
And I am not alone.
Student Senate understood this fallacy.
Most people have these same desires. But we still require our children to squelch their appetite, or hide it, until they reach the magic age of 21. Sure, we trust them to vote and have children of their own—but not to drink.
Student Senate understood this fallacy. However, I don't want to see an 18-year-old drinking age—it would never happen, and there are not enough of those inflatable Miller Lite chairs to go around. However, I would like a little consistency from our government.
Make the drinking age, and every other right and duty granted with age, the same
- 20 years. It is less arbitrary. You're not a teenager anymore, so have a drink.
If no one buys this idea, then perhaps we should resort to Constitutional law. I'm no lawyer, but it seems that since the 21st Amendment, which repealed prohibition, was passed before the 26th Amendment, that brought the voting age down to 18, having a 21-year-old drinking age denies 18, 19 and 20-year-olds the rights all other seemingly "equal" citizens have. An inconsistency that strikes of unconstitutionality.
So move the drinking age to 20, which is also a fine age to set everything else at: The right to drink, smoke, vote and die for your country. It's consistent, fair and makes a lot more sense.
So if your age starts with a one—carry on as usual. If it starts with a two—have a drink. I'll just need to see some I.D.

Oprah among best female role models for children
It seems that no matter how high you soar, some bumbling, envying idiot always wants to bring you down. Some people call it player-hating, most of us call
it plain old jealousy. Oprah Winfrey, a once dirt-poor, black child from the rural south, survived child molestation, parental abuse, and society's predictions of a poor, black child's fate, to become a self-proclaimed business woman. She owns her own multi-million dollar corporation and is quite possibly the
PRESIDENT
Tina
Terry
opinion@kansan.com
strongest female figure in American society today.
Oprah Winfrey was not with an over-night success, nor was she born with a silver spoon in her mouth. In fact, she came into her profession with three significant strikes against her: She was black, female, and she didn't wear a size five. She did not need the aid of silicone implants, liposuction, skin brighteners or 15 bags of imported hair weave to make it in this world. Instead she armed herself with determination, self-pride, common sense and intelligence. Therefore, it is no surprise that she has as much influence on today's youth as five superficial super models, eight anal athletes and all the amusing talent of Barnum & Bailey's Circus.
She is the ideal role model in our troubled society. However, some people disagree.
I've labeled these people "the jealous few." These people can count their intelligence quotient on one foot. They're in deep depression because they've realized they're incapable of ever landing a nine-figure income. They spend their time envying those who do, and worrying about how these people spend their hard-earned money. What the jealous few don't realize is that their futile envy will never affect society's true role models.
Evidence of this fact is seen in Oprah Winfrey's ability to keep on keepin' on, despite the jealous few's persistent efforts to pull her down. She has managed to keep her self-titled talk show out of the "talk show trash" arena. She's maintained a diverse audience by giving them exactly what they want, whether it be Hanson or the Spice Girls. She has become an inspirational figure to the millions of Americans struggling with obesity. Her work is recognized annually by many awards.
The diverse children of Chicago love her because within her they see themselves. Her life's saga is identifiable to all children, regardless of their physical appearance, race, sex, ethnicity or religious beliefs.
This is what makes Oprah Winfrey such an important figure in American society. This is also why she'll continue to reign as talk show queen and the supreme role model in the minds of America's youth.

International experience key to jobs
By Emily C. Forsyth
eforsyth@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Students in all fields of study need to broaden their academic horizons, said Terry Weldner, Office of International Programs associate director.
Weidner was a panelist at the 12th annual international career conference Saturday. International Programs hosted the conference on the fifth and sixth floors of the Kansas Union. Anne Merydith-Wolf, project coordinator, said about 160 students and teachers from the University of Kansas and northeast Kansas high schools attended the conference.
Students paid $12 and others paid $15 to attend.
Welder said he hoped students
who attended would better understand international and global opportunities and how to prepare for those opportunities academically.
"Technology makes every other field global." Weindner said. "Even in the United States, a lot of positions are now globally oriented. Not just in business, but if you're a chemist, you have to know what's on going in your field worldwide. If you don't have global connections and information, you're less competitive."
To acquire skills for the global job market, students attended sessions led by professionals who had experience with international business, government, and humanitarian organizations. Workshops and an information fair provided students with information about internships,
and study abroad and teaching abroad opportunities.
James Biggins, regional manager for Marley Cooling Tower of Overland Park, presented the conference keynote address. Biggins, who oversees operations in 110 countries, stressed the advantages of an international career.
He said long-term employment prospects were better for people who worked for organizations with international operations.
Jamie Hart, Eugene, Ore., senior,
said she wanted to get a job in Australia after graduating in May.
"I've always wanted to go work overseas," Hart said. "Since I decided to be a social worker, I wanted to go and just get experience with different cultures over there before I come back."

Regional conference helps students prepare for public relations jobs
By Marcelo Vilela
mviele@kansas.com
Kanson staff writer
Public relations students at the University of Kansas were invited this weekend to start planning for reality.
INVITED WEEKEND The KU chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America held its first regional conference Friday and Saturday in the Kansas Union.
The conference, "Planning for Reality," started Friday at 1 p.m. with a career fair. Nine recruiters were available to examine resumes and offer job opportunities.
"We had a lower turnout of KU students than we expected," said Lindsay Willis, Omaha senior and PRSSA promotions coordinator. "But it was a mutually beneficial opportunity for employers and students."
The conference included workshops on HTML and QuarkX Press, and lectures on public relations etiquette.
"There's only so much you can learn in a classroom." Willis said. "We offered lots of useful stuff, with a practical application."
Saturday afternoon communications professionals spoke about their experiences.
Eric Morgenstern, KU graduate and president of Morningstar Communications Company, delivered the keynote address.
The conference ended Saturday night with a banquet at the Malott Room in the Kansas Union.
During the banquet Dana Leibengood, director of student advising in the School of Journalism, was recognized for developing the business communications degree at the University. Leibengood is retiring after 29 years of work in the School of Journalism.
"At one point, we asked everybody who has been helped by Dana to stand up." Willis said. "And the whole room stood up."
Five other schools participated in the conference: the University of Nebraska-Omaha, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, University of Iowa, Kansas State University and the University of Southern Illinois.
Jessica Gibson, Lawrence senior, collected business cards and made contacts during the conference.
"I thought it would be good to meet people from agencies and seek job opportunities," she said. "I got a lot of my questions answered and met people who had different insights in public relations. It helped me to get prepared for my career."

Regular season comes to close
Kansas' pride saddles Cowboys for 71-67 victory in Stillwater
By Tommy Gallagher

Kansan sportswriter
STILLWATER, Okla. — Never had a meaningless game been so intense. No regular-season titles, no conference tournament seeds and no postseason honors rode on yesterday's game against No. 25 Oklahoma State. Just pride.
No. 4 Kansas saddled the Cowboys in the Big 12 Conference regular season finale, beating them 71-67 yesterday in Gallagher-Iba Brea.
Kansas guard Ryan Robertson said the atmosphere was perfect for the Jayhawks to enter postseason play.
"This game was really about pride," Robertson said. "We wanted to show everybody that we're the best team in the conference."
After protecting its lead throughout the game, Kansas had to withstand a late surge by the Cowboys in the final minutes.
Kansas had extended its lead to 25-
The Jayhawks shot 7-for-10 from the floor, racing out to a 16-4 lead barely four minutes into the game as the emotion from Senior Day and pregame festivities had quelled.
1990
"We knew that wasn't going to last," said Robertson, who scored all 12 of his points in the first half. "We knew that it was Senior Day and that they were fired up to play us, but we were just happy to get off to such a good start. We knew we wouldn't kick them that bad the rest of the game."
Robertson: scored 12 points against the Cowboys

That was just half the story.
The Cowboybys pulled to within lasse's reach in the second half, chipping away at the lead through a series of small runs.
The tempo had slowed, and Oklahoma State drew closer as the game neared the final minutes. The Jayhawks' lead had narrowed to 65-61 with less than three minutes to play when they received a much-needed boost.
Guard Kenny Gregory, a 40 percent free-throw shooter this season, made two free throws with 1:42 left to play, giving the Jayhawks a 67-61 lead. And forward Raef LaFrentz added some tough rebounds down the stretch.
Kansas coach Roy Williams said he had lashed out at Gregory earlier in the game because he appeared to have lost his confidence.
"I had gotten on Kenny because he dropped his head when he committed a turnover," Williams said. "I told him he was too good to do that, but then he knocked those (free throws) in."
But the Jayhawks' bench produced just four points — Gregory's free throws and a dunk by forward Nick Bradford in the game's final seconds. Williams said he was not concerned about the bench's play as much as he was pleased about the team's overall performance.
All five Jayhawk starters scored in double-digits against the Cowboys, led by LaFrentz, who recorded a team-high 17 points and game-high 14 rebounds. Forward Paul Pierce added 13 points, six rebounds and fivesassets.

Raymant marches Jayhawks past Mizzou, toward madness
By Kevin C. Wilson Kansan sportswriter
Sizzling Suzi Raymant sc corched the Missouri Tigers for 31 points and lifted the Kansas women's basketball team to a 76-6 home win on Saturday.
The victory clinched an undefeated season at home, ensured a third-place finish in the Big 12 Conference and a first-round bye in the conference tournament.
"I'm really pleased that we were able to win that ballgame," said Kansas coach Marian Washington. "It's been a great day."
Raymant, a junior guard from Australia, came off a 35-point explosion against Oklahoma on Wednesday night and continued her hot shooting Saturday.
She connected on 12-of-20 field goals, including shooting 6-of-10 from three-point range, and established career-highs with 11 rebounds and six steals.
Raymant said she was pleased with her all-around game and would continue to look for her shot.
"Coach tells me to shoot it if I have an open look, and I'm not going to hesitate." Raymant said.
Raymant's 21 second-half points helped the Jayhawks recover from a sluggish first half and 31-30 halftime deficit.
"When Suzi's hitting the three, everyone gets excited, and we step up our game," said forward Jaclyn Johnson, who scored a career-high 24 points.

Raymant scored 31 points against Missouri.
Washington said that Raymant's scoring was essential to her team's success.
"Suzi, all season, has been an offensive threat for us," Washington said. "When she hasn't been."
we've felt it."
Johnson was hot as well.
The freshman forward connected on 6-of-12 shots from the field and cashed in on 12-of-16 free throws.
Forward Lynn Pride, the Jayhawks leading scorer, struggled, shooting .of 14 from the field and scoring only eight points, but added seven assists, six rebounds and three blocked shots.
Missouri, 11-15 overall and 3-13 in Big 12 play, was led by center
Kesha Bonds who had 18 points and 10 rebounds. Guard Julie Helms scored 17 points, and guard Tanisha Johnson added 11 for the Tigers.
With the win, Kansas, 19-7 overall and 11-5 in the Big 12, earned a first-round bye in the conference tournament in Kansas City and will play the winner of the Baylor-Kansas State game at 8:30 Wednesday night.
Also on Saturday:
Pride and Raymant were named to the All-Big 12 Conference team.
Pride, who leads the Jayhawks in scoring (15.0), rebounding (7.0), steals (2.3), assists (3.1) and minutes played (33.2), was named to the first team.
Pride was joined by Alicia Thompson, Texas Tech; Anna DeForge, Nebraska; Phylesa Whaley, Oklahoma; and Stacy Frese, Iowa State.
Raymant was a Big 12 honorable mention selection after averaging 14.9 points and 6.2 rebounds for the Javahawks.

Kansas baseball avoids sweep in Stillwater
Freshman pitcher saves 9-8 victory during tenth inning
Redshirt freshman Peter Smart struck out two of three batters in the bottom of the tenth inning Sunday to save a 9-8 victory for Kansas baseball this weekend at Oklahoma State. It was the Jayhawks' first victory in Stillwater in nine games.
By John Blakely Wilson Kansan sportswriter
16 in the bottom of the tenth. That loss made Sunday's game more important.
"We needed that win, especially after yesterday losing a tough one on Saturday," said Coach Bobby Randall. "Today we played a very good ballgame, we had three guys that pitched their hearts out — we also got clutch hitting and good defense."
Smart, who had pitched just two innings in his college career, downed three Cowboys in order: Tony Lucca, Billy Gasparino and Josh Holliday. Lucua had the game-winning RBI on Saturday, and Gasparino already had a pair of home runs in the game Sunday.
Smart had taken over for winning

"Our pitchers did a great job," said freshman shortstop John Nelson. "Everyone wanted to come out with a win. No one wanted to ride home on the bus after getting sweed."
Kansas centerfielder Clint Wyrick snagged Gasparino's third drive of the game in the tenth.
"I was trying to get on base, I wanted to get some runners anyway I could," Nelson said. "We always knew we could come in and compete with this team, this shows we can beat anybody we want."
right center field. That was going to be a triple, which would have hurt in a one-run game."
Nelson slammed a triple in the top of the tenth and later scored groundout by junior infielder Andy Juday.
Kansas was plagued in the loss Friday by Oklahoma State pitcher Jon Adkins, who gave up just one run in eight innings and won his third game of the year. Junior pitcher Chad Shusson slammed out three hits.
Kansas pitchers walked 13 batters on Saturday and allowed 16 earned runs Sophomore pitcher Franco Martine lost the game in the bottom of thenth, and sophomore pitcher Mar Corson was roughed up in two innings allowing eight runs. The batting attac was prolific, smashing out 13 hits an six home runs. Randy Case smashe two home runs, and Case and Cliff Bryson led the team with three RBI each.
Randall said winning the Sunda game by coming back late in the gam was an important confidence boost for a young Kansas team.

Pentathlon mark falls in Ames
By Angela Johnson Kansan sportswriter
Candy Mason found redemption at last weekend's Big 12 Conference Indoor Championships in Ames, Iowa.
Mason won the pentathlon with 4,053 points,breaking her own school record as well as the meet record.
"This is my last indoor meet, so it's great to finish out like this," Mason said. "It's also my last pentathlon, so I'm really happy I could win it all."
Mason, Nevada, Mo., senior, improved on her performance at last year's conference meet, where she finished fifth.
The Kansas men finished ninth overall with 34 points and the women finished 10th with 41.5 points. Nebraska finished first on the men's side, with 106.5 points, and Texas won the women's title with 156 points.
Mason had 20 points out of the 28 total points for the women after the
first day.
Mason and Andrea Branson, Leawood freshman, finished first and second, respectively, in the pole vault. Mason vaulted 12 feet, 6 inches, and Branson cleared 12 feet, a personal best.
"I knew I should be going 12 feet, and now my technique is coming together," Branson said. "My next goal is to go 13 feet."
After the first day of competition, Feb.27,the men and women were both in third place,but the majority of the final competition was on Saturday, Feb.28.
"The first day is like the third hole of an 18-hole golf course," head coach Gary Schwartz said. "It's not like the team fell apart, but we need more scoring out of more people."
On the men's side, Scott Russell, Windsor, Ontario, freshman, continued his impressive rookie campaign, placing second in the 35 lb. weight throw. His tosse of 63 feet, 10 1/2 inches earned him an NCAA provisional qualification.
Russell finished second to Nebraska's 6/7 Warren, who threw 65 2/3 4. Warren and Russell hold the top two marks in the conference for the weight throw.
"I wanted to place in the top three, and I did that." Russell said. "Neither Scott Warren nor I throw to our potential, but I guess I did OK for a freshman," Russell said.
The men finished Friday's competition in a strong fashion, placing third in the distance medley relay. Andy Tate, Lake Elmo, Minn., sophomore; Jabari Wamble, Edmond, Okla., freshman; Craig Hettche, State College, Pa., junior; and Kevin McGinn, Carlslie, Pa., sophomore; combined for a time of 9:57.42, Kansas' fastest time this year.
Lester Smith continued to prove that he was a big-time competitor. The St. Louis junior recorded a new personal best with 50-10 3/4, but Nebraska's Benji Prebly edged out Smith for the gold by jumping 51-1 on his final jump.
BIG 12 INDOOR NOTES
Candy Mason set a school record in the pentathlon, with 4,053 points. Mason also won the pole vault with a jump of 12-6 feet and tied for fifth in the high jump, 5-7 feet. April Kockrow also jumped 5-7.
■ Andrea Branson's 12 feet pole vault last weekend boosted her into the top-national rankings. She finished second behind Mason.
Freshman Charlie Gruber turned in a gutsy performance in the men's 800 meters, passing three runners in the final straight-away to place four with a time of 1:52.79 minutes.
The women's 4x400-meter relay team of Tuleshia Rogers, Eniola Aajyj, Madinah Hazim, and Sherre-Khan Blackmon broke the school record and finished eight with a time of 3:45.79. The previous record was 3:46.54 at the 1988 Big Eight Championships.

Men's tennis struggles against OSU
By Erin Thompson Kanson sportswriter
After picking up its first win of the season Friday, the Kansas men's tennis team stumbled against Oklahoma State last night and lost 4-3.
Both nights the Jayhawks were competing without senior Enrique Abaroa, their No. 1 singles player, who injured his back two weeks ago against Boise State. Friday he did not play, and last night he had to pull out after only three games.
SUNDAY, JULY 26TH AT 10:30 A.M. THE TENNIS CENTER, AT THE WESTERN HILLS, CALIFORNIA.
"We probably played better tonight than Friday," Kansas coach Mark Riley said yesterday. "The competition was better tonight, but we're pretty average without our full team."
The Cowboys have the top-ranked singles player and doubles team in the nation. Pavel Kudracn is the singles player, and Kudracn and Martin Dvoorack comprise the No. 1 doubles team.

"Tonight we had the chance to beat the No. 1 team in the country — served for it twice," Riley said. "We've just got to be more aggressive and finish the job."
The Jayhawks were out to a promising start when freshman Ed Dus and junior Luis Uribe went up two service breaks against Dvoracek and Kudrnac. But Dus and Uribe couldn’t pull through and lost 9-7 in a best-of-eight set.
The Jayhawks must take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves, Riley said.
Friday the Jayhawks picked up their first win by defeating Ohio State 5-2.
In Abaroa's absence, senior Xavier Avila played No. 1 singles for only the second time in two years.
He defeated Ohio State's Chris Porter 62-7 (74)
Senior Trent Tucker won his 99th career match Friday after Pari Laxminarayan was disqualified for jumping the net and excessively arguing a call. Tucker was behind 0-1 in the third set when the call was made.
"I didn't see bad things out there." Avila said.
"Sometimes the balls are just so close that you don't know if they're good or not, so that's just part of the game."
Friday the Jayhawks also picked up the doubles point for only the second time this season by winning two of the three doubles matches.
Despite their lackluster start, the Jayhawks are not giving up. Avila said things looked better for the remainder of the season.
It'll be a good season with a bad start," he said. "People are going out there and doing the things you're supposed to do. When you do the things you're supposed to, you're a little more relaxed. Things are going a lot better."
"I think it's going to be the same as last year.
Riley said that the team goals had not
"We just have to hang in there until we're healthy enough to get everyone back," he said. "Our goals are the same as they were at the beginning of the season — the final 16 of the NCAA championships and win the Big 12."

"We targeted doubles in practice
and it has made a difference," he said.
The Jayhawks will next see action Friday at Alvamar Racquet Club against Brigham Young, ranked first in Kansas' region.
Sophomore Brooke Chiller may have been in South Bend, Ind., this weekend but her brother Brad made a trip to Lawrence. Brad plays for Oklahoma State, who defeated the men's team 4-3 last night at Alvamar. Brad defeated Kansas senior Trent Tucker 6-2, 2-6, 7-5.

sophomores Tyler Painter and Brandon Chestnut. Painter won the only first place for the Jayhawks and set a meet record in the 1,650-meter freestyle. He earned NCAA Championship automatic qualifying time with his time of 15.01.72.
"I was really pleased with my time. I swam a good, long, strong race. It was untapered, and it was a good time," Painter said. "I am not really concerned with the pool record or the meet record, just the automatic qualification to the NCAA Championships."
Chestnut, who also earned an
NCAA Championship automatic qualification, took first place in the preliminary round of the 100-meter breaststroke with a time of 54.30. He fell to second in the finals with a time of 55.00.
Kempf said he was pleased with his team and the future of the program.
"I can't not be happy with that time," he said. "I am happy with getting the automatic bid, but I wanted to go faster. It just wasn't there."
"The attitude, intensity, work ethic was tremendous," he said. "I am very proud of us. I am proud of the effort we showed. Our program showed it has some All-American swimmers in Tyler Painter, Brandon Chestnut and Trent Hartl. I am proud of where our program is going."
Kansas hits home-run streak at Arizona softball tourney
By Laura Bokenkroger Kansas sportswriter
The No. 16-ranked Kansas softball team hit five home runs in its first four games at the Wildcat Invite in Arizona.
Four of the homers came in Kansas' first two wins over McNeese State. In 10-1 blowout, first baseman Shannon Stanwix hit a two-run home run, the sixth of her career, in the top of the first inning.
Second baseman Lezli Leathers hit her first career homer, bringing in three runs in the top of the fourth.

After spraining her ankle in practice on Wednesday, catcher Kristina Johnson proved she could still play, hitting her 10th career home run in the top of the fifth.

"The ankle feels fine," Johnson said. "I wasn't trying to think about it. I was just trying to get a hit." The game was called after five
innings because of the eight-run spread rule, and pitcher Jessi Kowal earned her fourth win of the season.
The Jayhawks beat the Cowgirls 103 Friday. Winning pitcher McChelia McPhail hit a single in her first at-bat of the season, knocking in two runs in the bottom of the third.
The game was called after five
Left fielder Sara Holland drilled her 14th career home run in the bottom of the sixth. Holland needs just one more to tie the team record, held by her coach, Tracy Bunge.
"I try not to think about the record."
Holland said. "I just go up there, trying for a base hit. When I get a home run, it's just a bonus."
The Jayhawks faced the defending national champions on Saturday. The 14-0 Arizona Wildcats scored eight times, shutting out the Jayhawks in five innings.
The Jayhawk scored on the Wildcat error early in the first inning of the second game. Then Stanwix hit her second homer of the weekend, bringing in two runs and increasing the score to 3-1.
I reft I had nothing to lose up there," Stanwix said. "Both homers hit, the pitchers made mistakes and I jumped on them."
Wildcat third baseman Toni Masi-carenas hit a grand slam in the fourth inning, and the Wildcats beat the Jay-hawks 8-3.
Kansas faced 19th-ranked Colorado State on Sunday. The Rams scored twice in the top of the first. Kansas tied it at two in the third, but the Rams came back in the seventh for a 4-2 win.
Kansas is 10-8 on the season.

University will feel loss of popular administrator
By Gerry Doyle gdoyle@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
A member of the University of Kansas administration will be going long.
Martha Ruel, assistant vice ccnceller of student affairs and wife of former KU football offensive coordinator Pat Ruel, will be following her husband to his new job at Michigan State University. Ruel, who was head of the University Scholarship Center before being appointed as assistant vice ccnceller was invaluable in helping students, said a associate provost Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett.

PETER J. KING
Ruel: Will leave the University for Michigan.
THE LOVE OF WINNIE TURNER
Whether students had problems with finances,
the transition to college or even
roommate difficulties. Ruel always
would listen, she said.
She not only helped attract students to the University but also made sure their time on the Hill was enjoyable McCluskey-Fawcett said.
"She's terrific." McCluskey-Fawcett said. "She's been a terrific student advocate, always willing to work one-on-one with them. She worked with prospective students. Then once they got here, she was like 'Mother Marti.' Marti helped keep a lot of students here."
Ruel said that she was not sure exactly when she would move to Lansing, Mich., but that she probably would wait until her contract with the University finished in June. She said she enjoyed working with the students and administrators at the University, and she hoped to get a similar job after she moved.
She said her work at the University had been enjoyable because of her responsibilities, which center around building new programs to help students. She said that she was sorry to go but that she was looking forward to new opportunities.
"it's been challenging." she said.
"I try to maintain student contact because it's hard to work without the student perspective. It'll be hard to leave friends, colleagues and Lawrence itself. But with every door that you close, you never know what other door will open for you."
Ruel said she was unsure whether the position would be filled after she left.
Before taking the job as director of the University Scholarship Center, Ruel was assistant dean of educational services at the University from 1988 to 1992.
Ruel received her bachelor's degree in education from the University of Miami in 1974.
She was certified for corrective therapy in 1975, received her master's degree in higher education administration from Texas A&M University in 1985 and her doctorate in educational policy and leadership from the University of Kansas in 1996.
Before coming to KU in 1988, she had worked as the director of Orthopedic Care, Inc. from 1975 to 1978; was an admissions office assistance at Washington State University from 1978 to 1979; a student development officer II at Washington State University from 1979 to 1982; a student development officer II at Texas A&M University from 1982-1985 and an assistant university judicial officer at Northern Illinois University from 1985-1988.
Kassebaum Baker speaks candidly
By Emily C. Forsyth
eforsyth@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Former U.S. Senator Nancy Kassebaum Baker emphasized the distinction between knowledge and wisdom last night when she spoke at Free State High School.
Kassebaum Baker spoke as part of the Hall Center for the Humanities' 50th anniversary lecture series. She addressed current political and educational topics and prescribed actions for the United States' future. Kassebaum Baker was not paid for her appearance.
Kassebaum Baker said that the increasing influence of technology, such as television and the Internet, posed a greater demand for understanding the difference between knowledge and wisdom.
She also said it was the responsibility of parents and teachers to demand more of students and to help them acquire wisdom from the abundance of knowledge available.
"Iis wisdom programmed on the screen?"
Kassebaum Baker asked. "I't really isn't."
She said the recent low ranking of U.S. high school students in math and science was not indicative of students' abilities.
"I do think it's reflective of our not demanding enough of our students, who I'm convinced can rise to excellence when it's demanded of them," she said. "But, if we expect less, we'll get less."
Kassebam Baker switched gears during her speech when she spoke about the
White House scandal. She said she was dismayed with the demeaning of the presidency and the public's handling of the scandal.
"President Clinton is someone who has a lot of knowledge but not much wisdom," Kassebaum Baker said. "He is not alone. We all seem to gravitate to the thrill of the moment." She said the White House scandal has had a negative effect on everyone.
"The media has succumbed to reporting the crisis of the presidency in 'Entertainment Tonight' style," she said. "Lawyers have succumbed to demeaning the professional ethics of our legal system by leaking confidential documents, and we are all tarnished in the process."
Roberta Johnson, director of the Hall Center for the Humanities, said Kassebaum Baker's message was well-received.
"She was asking us to continue to conduct our political lives in a personal way and not to allow the media to control our political actions," Johnson said.
Kassebaum Baker moved from discussing U.S. issues to talking about the political situation in Iraq and the Middle East.
She stressed the necessity of solving international political problems on a local level rather than a national one.
"We can't just rely on the Internet or television or the polls to determine what direction our nation should go," Kassebaum Baker said.
Ameshia Tubbs, Lawrence sophomore, said she was impressed that Kassebaum Baker
spoke so candidly about issues
"She was direct and honest, and I really appreciated that," Tubbs said. "You expect politicians to dance a little more than she did."
Kassebaum Baker graduated from the
University of Kansas in 1954 with a degree in political science. In 1978, she was elected to the U.S. Senate. She retired at the end of her third Senate term in 1996 as chairwoman of the Labor and Human Resources Committee.
THE SECURITY OF THE CAPITOL

Several courses left out of study
By Tamara Miller
Kansan staff writer
The list of classes containing homosexual or bisexual references could be longer than the one the University turned in to the Board of Regents.
A course does not have to be a sexuality course to contain references to sexual orientation, said Dennis Dailey, professor of social welfare. Every class in the social welfare department could be submitted for the legislative request, he said.
The list, compiled by Provost David Shulenburger, included two ethics classes, Journalism 605 and a University of Kansas Medical Center course. The list was an answer to an anonymous research request by the Kansas Legislature.
Dailley teaches Social Work 303, Human Sexuality in Everyday Life, a course that contains some discussion of homosexuality. Dailley said the topic was an important issue in his class because it represented an important aspect in human sexuality.
"There's not a course that at some point in the semester doesn't mention the issue," he said.
"There is an enormous amount of emphasis on the impact of homophobia," Dailey said.
COURSE CONTENT UNDER REVIEW
Leslie Nelson, assistant professor of art history, said that sexuality was also an issue in her class, History of Art 577, Southern Barque Art. Although it is not obvious in the course description, understanding the artist's sexual orientation is an important part of art history classes.
For example, knowing an artist's sexual orientation may be important to understanding his work.
"It's going to be relevant in lots of courses," she said. "We try to approach it from every angle possible."
Robert Anderson, associate professor of French and Italian, said that both his Western Civilization class and his French literature class touched on the issue of homosexuality. Anderson said this was important because it exposed students to diversity.
"It's an issue that has been discussed since the 17th century," she said. "We think of these problems as new, and they aren't."
"Students are thoughtful, interested adults who are eager to learn and judge
things," he said.
The topic of sexual orientation is discussed in psychology classes as well, said Chris Crandall, associate professor of psychology. Crandall teaches Psychology 465, a class that studies prejudice and discrimination in society. Homophobia is a topic included in the curriculum of this course.
However, Crandall said that a discussion involving sexual orientation also could surface in Introduction to Psychology
Crandall said that although the Legislature could try to monitor courses with homosexual or bisexual content, it would be an impossible task. The Legislation has a right to ask for a list of these courses, but it has no right to dictate course curriculum, he said.
"You might want to talk about dating and how people date people who are similar to them," he said. "For example, you talk about homosexual dating."
"You will find that instructors will increase the content of homosexuality in the face of a perceived threat to academic freedom," Crandall said.

Police check into string of auto thefts
By Ronnie Wachter
A string of six auto burglaries on the same night has Lawrence police searching for suspects and has several Lawrence residents searching for their stolen property.
Five cars were broken into between 12:01 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Sunday in a four-square-block area of southeast Lawrence, police said.
In all five cases, the passenger-side front windows of the cars were smashed. Four of the cars were Hondas manufactured between 1986 and 1990, and three of the cars belonged to KU students.
A sixth auto burglary happened in the 1100 block of Indiana Street during the same time period.
Three of the burglaries happened in the same parking lot, at 1704 W.24th St.
Officer Mike Monroe said that although there was no evidence linking any of the burglaries, police were investigating the possibility.
"It doesn't necessarily mean they're related because we have so many auto burglaries," he said. "But when you have that many in a certain area, generally that means one or more of them are connected."
Jeremiah Johnson, Lawrence resident,
said he lost about $1,450 in damaged and
stolen property when his car was burglarized.
"I'm completely aggravated," he said. "I'm supposed to be in Oklahoma right now, but I can't go because I have no window and it's freezing."
Monroe said police had no suspects, and each case still was being investigated.
"Usually when we solve one of these, that will lead to clues that will help solve another one," he said.
Monroe said that many auto burglaries could be prevented by not leaving valuables in cars, where they are easy for thieves to take.
"Usually, auto burglaries are crimes of opportunity," he said. "A lot of these involve stereos with removable faceplates and other things that the owner could take inside the house easily."
Darrin Peschka, Wilson sophomore, said she would learn from her mistake.

"I was upset," Peschka said. "I felt angry at myself because it was carelessness on my part to just leave my things in there."

Anal thief steals letter from campus building
The outside of a University of Kansas building was defaced during the weekend. The letter "I" was taken from the word "Recital" between 4:30 p.m. Friday and 12:15 p.m. Saturday outside of Bales Organ Recruit Hall, KU police said.

Murphy Hall is two fiddles shy of its usual ensemble.
Two KU student's virolis were stolen from lockers between 12:30 and 8:25 a.m. feb. 22 on the Fifth floor East Wing of Murphy, KU police said. The two virolis, along with their cases, three bows and other miscellaneous items were valued at $6,038.50.
Laleh M-Navai, Wichita junior, said she left her violin in Murphy during the weekend, because she was out of town.
"I was devastated, actually, because it's kind of a sentimental thing," she said. "I was really surprised because I thought the place was pretty secure."
M-M Navai said that she now was using a violin loaned to her by a friend. She said musical instruments were not replaced easily.
"It's really hard to find a violin that you want to buy," she said.
M-Navai said she would not leave an instrument in Murhv again.
KU police Sgt. Chris Keary said the padlocks on other students' lockers were cut but that no items were stolen.
Trial date set for janitor charged with selling crack
The University of Kansas custodian
charged with selling crack cocaine outside Ellsworth Hall appeared in Douglas County District Court yesterday afternoon for a preliminary hearing.
Albert Eugene Crane Jr., 52, was arrested Jan. 7 after a month-long investigation by the Douglas County Drug Enforcement Unit.
Mark Swisher, a former Ellsworth custodian, testified that he contacted a supervisor first and then contacted the police about Crane selling cocaine.
"I had asked him if I could buy some from him, and he said sure," Swisher said.
Swisher said that officers from the drug enforcement unit outfitted him with a transmitter and that he completed three controlled buys of crack from Crane on the loading dock outside Ellsworth.
Swisher said that his motivation for becoming an informant was to take drug dealers off the street. He said his 17-year-old son had been involved with drugs.
Detective Kenneth Massey of the drug enforcement unit also testified for the prosecution.
Judge Jack A. Murphy ruled that there was probable cause that Crane committed the crimes.
Crane's trial is set for May 6 in Division II of Douglas County District Court. He entered a plea of not guilty to the charges.
Tampering with e-mail falls into crime category
A University of Kansas student's privacy was violated when someone forwarded one of his saved e-mail messages to another address Wednesday afternoon, KU police said.
Jason Fizell, Olathe senior and student senator, said that he had forgotten to log off the kuhub server about 2 p.m. when he left the Student Senate office in the Kansas Union. When he checked his mail again, he discovered that someone had tampered with his account.
KU police Sgt. Chris Keary said that the crime, company trespass, was relatively new.
"What was done did indeed fall into a crime," he said.
Fizell said he was tipped off when a message, sent at 2:11 p.m., was returned undelivered.
"I don't think anyone has my password," he said. "I was concerned they could have actually sent an e-mail under the guise of me."
The message contained the minutes from a Delta Force meeting last semester. Fitzell said the message was buried in the middle of other messages, causing him to think that someone read through many of his saved messages.
The police report identifies the suspect as an acquaintance of Fitzell's, but police still are investigating the matter.
"This isn't something that I really had wanted to be public." Fizell said.

Evidence found to support sexual-preference theory
WASHINGTON — Researchers say they have found the first strong evidence of a physical difference between gay and heterosexual women — a finding that the inner ears of gay women work more like those of men.
The discovery adds new support to the theory that sexual orientation may be predisposed before birth.
The origin of homosexuality has long been a matter of contention. Some believe it to be a matter of choice, but others — including many gay people — say it is not choice but biology.
Previous research has found that two parts of the male brain are different in gay and heterosexual men. Other studies have found that some genes differ between gay and heterosexual men.
In the study, to be published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, said they found the inner ears of female homosexuals have undergone masculinization, probably from hormone exposure before birth.
" Their auditory centers have been masculinized, and the presumption is that so have the sites in the brain that direct sexual preference," said Dennis McFadden, the lead author of the study.
It has yet to be proven, however, that there is a specific site in the brain that directs women to be lesbians, he said.

Princes William and Harry to inherit bulk of fortune
LONDON — Princess Diana's two teenage sons are financially set for life after being left the bulk of her $35.6 million fortune, according to her will, which was released yesterday.
Prince William, 15, and Prince Harry, 13, are to inherit nearly $11.5 million each. But the biggest single share goes to the
Inland Revenue tax service, which collects $13.94 million of an estate composed mostly of the divorce settlement from Prince Charles a year before Diana died in a Paris car crash on Aug. 31.
In December, changes were made to the 36-year-old princess' will to give her executors more control of the trust
The will also was amended to allow each of her 17 godchildren to receive an heirloom to remember her by and to provide $82,000 for Paul Burrell, her buiter and closest aide whom she referred to as "my rock."
The changes also allow her wardrobe, wedding dress and intellectual property rights — copyright, trademarks and royalties from commercial use of her picture or name — to be used to raise money for charity or her sons.

Cancer research aided by growth in flower sales
By Jeremy M. Doherty jdoherty@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
University of Kansas students can freshen the air and fight disease at the same time.
The American Cancer Society is promoting its annual Daffodil day fund-raiser, seeking to raise money by selling yellow daffodils to students.
Proceeds will go toward cancer research, education and services for local residents, said Marsha Smith, a representative of the society's Douglas County unit.
"The daffodil is the first flower of spring," Smith said. "It's the flower of hope, and it can bring hope for cancer patients."
Smith said she hoped to top last year's profit by several hundred dollars.
"We've done this for a long time," she said.
"Last year, we took in $4,600, which was very successful. We're trying to beat that and hit $5,000 this year."
The society, which began taking orders two weeks ago, will make the deliveries on Monday. Students can place orders until the end of this week.
Smith said donors could choose from among several different flower arrangements. A bouquet costs $5; a half case, which holds about 125 yellow daffodils, costs $55; and a full case of about 250 flowers costs $100.
Lisa Wagner, Wichita senior, said she was impressed with the fund-raiser's intentions.
"It's a good way to raise money for a good cause instead of selling candy," Wagner said. "I'm surprised, because it's usually more expensive to buy stuff through a fundraiser."
Florists in Lawrence said the offer was a good bargain for flower fans.
Laura Landgrebe, manager of University Floral and Greenhouse at 2102 W. 28th St. Terrace, said she sold daffodils at $2.50 per stem.
"We don't buy them bulk," she said. "But if we were to go bulk, we would probably do a special promotion. Then, we would probably match whatever the society is selling them or."
Cary Engle, manager of The Flower Shoppe at 1101 Massachusetts S. , said he could not compete with the society's offer. His daffodil go for $1.25 per stem.
Cancer is the leading cause of death in the United States after heart disease. More than 500,000 people died of cancer-related illnesses in 1996, according to "The World Almanac."
University students and residents can place a daffodil order with the American Cancer Society at (785) 842-9733.

By Chris Horton

Local drug counselors have noticed an increase in the amount of heroin use and in the amount of residents requesting treatment for heroin addiction in Lawrence.
Gerry Riley, DCCCA Center counselor, has been a drug counselor for 13 years. He said he had seen a recent increase in heroin use.
"For a while, nobody even said the word heroin," he said. "But I started hearing about it a couple of years ago among high school and college students, and it's been
becoming more common."
The Kansas Bureau of Investigation arrested three students and three other Lawrence residents Feb. 20 on charges of distributing heroin and conspiring to distribute heroin. Special Agent Scott Teeselink said the KBI had concluded its investigation.
"It's being turned over to Douglas County for the usual charging process," Teeselink said.
Riley said the recent seizure of heroin in Lawrence was not necessarily indicative of a local problem.
"One bust doesn't make an epidemic," he said.
always been a reflection or drug patterns in this country."
Use of the more intense and addictive drugs such as heroin and methamphetamine are affected by a generational cycle, Riley said.
"It takes about 20 years for a generation to pass and for people to forget the damage it can do," he said.
Riley said he had been notified of several overdoses in the past four to six months — none of which were fatal. He said that in the past year, he had treated four patients for heroin addiction.
Although most of his clients have injected heroin intravenously, the majority of Lawrence addicts he has encountered began snorting the drug.
He said they began snorting heroin because it was less intense than intravenous use.
Wally Mechler, Heartland Clinical Consultants director, said he had treated two Lawrence residents for heroin addiction.
"Nobody ever believes they're going to get strung out," he said.
Mechler said people who used heroin did not fit any type of mold.
"There is not a typical heroin user," he said. "In fact, heroin use is becoming quite chic and can be found in the middle to upper-middle class."
"I've been treating people for heroin addiction for five or six years, and I've noticed an across-the-board increase in heroin abuse," he said.
Although Riley and Mechler have seen an increase in heroin use in Lawrence, statistics that reflect the scope of the increase are difficult to attain, said Belinda Rehmer, community relations assistant,
Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
"Lawrence has always been a reflection of drug patterns in this country."

It is difficult for hospitals to compile statistics of heroin-related medical problems and overdoses because hospitals attempt to treat the immediate physical problems of emergency patients, Rehmer said.
"To keep statistics on drug overdoses, we would have to have people come in and say, 'I'm on drugs'—which just doesn't happen," she said.
KU on Wheels completes drive for Highpointe stop

The transportation board has approved adding a stop at the Highpointe apartment complex, 2001 W. Sixth St.
Scott Kaiser, transportation coordinator, said that the new stop would add more than 500 students to the West Sixth Street route and would not cost the University anything because KU on Wheels would not have to create an entirely new route.
Kaiser said that the route addition became necessary after assessing population growth.
"What we've seen over the last two or three years is more development in West Lawrence," he said. "What we need to do is
continuously re-evaluate our bus routes to match the living patterns."
The transportation board had been considering the route addition since the beginning of the school year, but details such as Highpointe liability and an adequate snow removal system delayed the plans.
Highpointe apartments, owned by First Management Inc., will be added to the route later in the semester, once trees on West Seventh Street are trimmed to allow bus access.
"We have properties up at KU that I have to drive a van up to," he said. "So we know how
Eric Humiston, maintenance supervisor for First Management, said that although most of the Highpointe tenants had vehicles, a bus service would be of great value to alleviate the difficulty of on-campus parking.
the parking is. Parking's tough."
Terri Bergmann, Hinsdale, Ill., junior and Highpointe tenant, said she wished the bus route would have been available during August.
"My car is registered just because there is no bus," she said. "I have a 7:30 class, and I definitely wouldn't mind hopping on the bus. If it was a nice day, I'd probably even walk home."
A bus service also may attract future tenants to Highpointe.
Kelly Brock, Atlanta sophomore, is considering living at Highpointe next year because of the new bus option.
"It would make it a lot easier, so you wouldn't have to drive to campus and worry about parking," she said.

We really aren't asking for much just a hour or so and an open vein
Less than 5 percent of eligible blood donors actually give blood.
Good heavens! Have we actually found something students care less about than voting? Even with such a low national turnout figure, KU students should be able to collectively muster about 1,300 units of blood. Blood-drive organizers will be lucky to see half that.
The Blood Drive committee has set a goal of 700 units, which would be enough to beat the students at K-State: A feat KU students — who allegedly bleed red and blue—have not accomplished in recent memory.
The Spring Blood Drive begins today, sponsored by the All-Scholarship Hall Council, the Association of University Residence Halls, the Interfraternity Council and the Panhellenic Association.
All eligible students should sign up for a time and roll up their sleeves
To donate blood, students should be in generally good health, be at least 17 years old and weigh more than 110 pounds. All donors must go through a screening process and pass a physical examination.
4. 4
Blood is one of the most valuable resources in medicine, and a good supply of blood is vital to a strong medical system. Research done by the American Red Cross shows that voluntarily donated blood is actually safer than blood purchased from donors because volunteers have no incentive to deceive the screening questions.
We don't call on you very often to be noble. We normally just ask for students to do their best to do the right thing. But here's a unique chance to do both. Giving blood may not be the most fun way to spend an hour, but it is an easy way students can help others. And if nothing else, you get a sticker and a cookie. To give an hour or so or your time and a pint or so of your blood. Who knows, the life you save might even be your own.
About 4 million people a year depend on blood donations. Every two seconds someone needs blood. That fact alone should be impetus
enough for students to donate blood.
You can—and should— give blood from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m today, Wednesday or Thursday at the Kansas Union Ballroom; from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m today at Oliver Hall; from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m Wednesday at McCollum Hall; and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday at Corbin Hall.

May we have the envelope please?
This week the editorial board is proud to give a Pat on the Back to the new class of Orientation Assistants.
OAS are the first representatives of the University of Kansas that new students meet. OAS not only provide a valuable first impression, but also help students negotiate the University maze of enrollment, advising,course, line numbers and other things all students were once scared of. Students often remember their OA long after orientation. The four-stage OA application and interview process is exhaustive, certainly more so than other summer internships, like say, at the White House. Students selected as OAs are well-rounded in their activities, doing well in their studies, outgoing, affable, good speakers and positive

Perspective
U.S.-Iraqi diplomacy: more than meets the eye
As citizens of this great nation, we the people, according to the Constitution, have the right to disagree with the actions that our government is taking. It is
obvious that the Clinton administration is prepping America for an assault on Iraq. According to the media's coverage of the conflict, it is quite clear why we would want to go to war with Saddam Hussein.

Or is it? Hussein is portrayed to be a ruthless leader, but prior to the Gulf War he helped Iraq become economically secure and established unparalleled freedoms for women in the region.
opinion@kansan.com
I am in no way a fan of Saddam Hussein, but I also find no merit in or justification for bombing the people of Iraq simply because our government has said it is the right thing to do.
Our government stands by the goal to fulfill the U.N. resolutions, which it says Iraq has violated.
Question No. 1: When did America start policing U.N. policies? The answer is only when special interest groups — like the oil lobby — are involved.
The United States leads the public to think that Iraq has the capability to harm its neighbors. But even if Iraq could cause a conflict, the country is now in a situation where it will never be able to wage war or start trouble because of the consequences it knows it will receive, not only from the U.S. but also from Israel.
Question No. 2. If you were Saddam Hussein would you trust America? Probably not, that is why he asked to have the presidential palaces inspected by a team that was put together by the U.N. instead of the United States. This should mean nothing because the goal of the inspectors would be to dismantle the war machine of Iraq. The Clinton administration agreed to the offer — but other leaders want to circumvent the diplomatic process and bomb Iraq anyway, thus demonstrating that the resolutions are not what is on the agenda for our
government.
Our government wants Saddam out of the picture, it's that simple. The conflict now has nothing to do with the U.N. resolutions. With Saddam dead, a puppet government easily can be placed — making all Iraqi contracts with Russia and France void and enabling U.S. oil companies to sign new contracts with the new government.
Question No. 3: What is the real reason we are going to bomb Iraq? The answer is simple and comes from paying careful attention to what the media says. Iraq has signed contracts with France and Russia so that when the U.N. sanctions are lifted they will have access to Iraq's $400 billion-a-year oil refineries. This is a problem for England and America who, for the first time since oil was an important commodity, have been shut out of Iraqi oil fields.
This would lead to an even bigger problem that worries me. About a month ago, Boris Yeltsin warned the United States that if Iraq is attacked, World War III could result. Leaders of powerful countries do not make statements such as that without merit. It is clear that America's interests conflicts with those of Russia and could lead to bigger problems. About two weeks ago at Ohio State University, three top foreign policy officials tried to rally support for U.S. objectives and were greeted by a doubting crowd who did not believe the government's intentions were true. They pleaded for diplomacy as a means to deal with this problem. One veteran who lost his son in Vietnam spoke with anguish about how the troops had fought for their country. He asked if the government was willing to send troops if Saddam would not back down. If not, he asked if the United States would ask his grandson and some of these other grandons to put their lives on the line.
I am a proud and dedicated American, but when special interests and money are the sole reasons for military involvement, I will voice my opinion and stand for what is right. Never silence the movement of peace.

Here's a tip—it only helps corporations
Your editorial titled, "Here's a Tip: Give it up for the pizza Guy," has little merit as far as the goals in which it seeks. Tipping is just another social custom which ultimately benefits corporations. Would it be better for the corporation to pay its service employees (drones) extra for their jobs or divert this supposed responsibility on to the customer? From the corporation's perspective, its much better to pay less and socially pressure individuals to pay more. Did you even consider this or are you simply preparing yourself for future jobs in which you obediently placate business at the expense of independent thought and personal freedom. We have enough enslaving forms of social pressure designed to help institutions. You needn't to it.

Let's just mail them a course catalog
It seems that some legislator wants to know about University of Kansas courses that deal with homosexuality. The inquiry is anonymous, perhaps cravenly so, leading a number of people to speculate that this time it's the right wing's turn to attempt to abridge academic freedom. I haven't seen the document in question, but published reports keep using phrases like courses which directly address homosexuality. There has been no little hand-wringing about how to handle this situation. My solution is simple: comply completely. That is, send over a listing of virtually every course in the humanities and social sciences divisions, supplemented by the dozens more courses in the sciences, in journalism, in law, in medicine, which "directly address homosexuality," even if for only a few minutes per semester. I have seen no indication that the legislator in question is limiting his or her search to core content, so the University ought to respond accordingly.
For example, Plato almost certainly engaged in behavior we would now call homosexual. Even if we ultimately decide that the sexual maze of fifth-century
I teach acting. Do I directly address homosexuality? You bet I do. It's not a core issue of the course, but I've assigned several heterosexual students to work on gay or lesbian characters, as well as homosexual actors to work on straight characters. I directly work with students to help them to lay aside preconceptions and stereotypes, and simply to play the role. To me, the ability to view the world through the eyes of someone with different life experiences is essential not only to good acting, but to a liberal arts education and even to adulthood.
So let's send over the complete catalog. Of course, I am fully aware that this is not what the legislator in question had in mind, but I've been telling students for years that I grade their papers based on the say, not on what I think they meant to say. Should we have lower standards for state legislators than for first-term freshman? Surely legislators, of all people, ought to know the importance of precision in language.
If the sound we hear is really the forces of ignorance pounding at the door, we can confront them now or cower in a corner and hope they'll go away. I don't think they're /leaving, though, and I for one have never been very good at cowering.
Rick Jones Lawrence graduate student
Athens had no influence on who is included in and who is excluded from the Republic, we need to directly address homosexuality to make that determination. Does Western Civilization I directly address homosexuality? It had better. Similarly, no Renaissance English drama course can possibly avoid homoerotic themes, which are explicit in Lyly, Marlowe and Jonson, and implicit in Shakespeare. And so it goes through virtually every course in the division.
Legislator's request could go further
The anonymous legislator's request for a list of course that include homosexual or bisexual content, while not itself a violation of academic freedom and probably not an ongoing threat of violation, should remind us how easily political pressures can be applied. Long

BSU story was not front-page material
This letter is not so much in response to the Friday, Feb. 27 article "Former president to return BSU funds," but more so to the editors of The University Daily Kansan who found it worthy of front page status. As we all know, February was African American History Month. The Black Student Union put on many positive and uplifting events that made the paper, but for some odd reason we were made to search for these articles on the third, fourth, or even the back page of the Kansan.
However, we find that the mistakes of an ex-BSU member are far more important to the Kansan than any of the positive programs that the BSU implemented. Not only was this negativity conveniently given to us on the front page, but it was the largest article concerning the BSU that was printed all month. I have to seriously question the motives and priorities of the Kansan staff and editors in this situation. If the Kansan would have expressed such an interest in the positive events that occurred, African American History Month might have been more effective.

Proposal suggests more e-mail areas
Busy campus sites would get access pending approval
Aaron Knopf
oknopf@kansan.com
Karsan staff writer
A student suggestion to place email terminals in convenient locations throughout the University of Kansas has the support of some administrators.
The most likely source of funding would be money that would come to the University if the Legislature passes a plan to match a new $1 University technology fee with $2 for every dollar collected, said Jerry Niebaum, director of academic computing services.
Other administrators said they thought the proposal would succeed.
"I feel confident that this idea will fly on its own merits, which I think are very strong, and has an excellent chance of attracting the
Provost's and the Chancellor's support," said William Crowe, vice chancellor for information services.
"This idea coming from students, is very competitive, as it will advance student access to instructors and to each other," Crowe said.
The two students who made the suggestion, Jason Fizell, Olathe senior, and Seth Hoffman, Lenexa sophomore, said they were impressed by administrators' receptiveness.
Fizell said, "Right off the bat, they said, 'This is something we can do.'"
Fitzell and Hoffman pitched the idea to Niebaum, Crowe and Richard McKinney, assistant vice chancellor for information services, during a February meeting.
Hoffman and Fizell said they proposed the installation of about 25 terminals in places such as the Kansas Union, Watson Library and other busy sites on campus.
"This idea, coming from students, is very competitive, as it will advance student access to instructors and to each other."
Hoffman said, "The surprising thing they said was no one had ever come to them with a proposal
William Crowe Vice Chancellor for Information Services
like this before," Hoffman said.
Fitzell and Hoffman said they hoped the terminals would provide more efficient access to email while freeing campus labs.
Niebau said that he had recommended starting with 50 terminals.
"By having these terminals, you'll open up a lot of computers on campus for people who need to do papers," Fizell said.
"My staff is suggesting a more modest approach to see if students will really use such devices and to see how effective it is for students to use e-mail in that way," he said.
Niebaum estimated the cost of setting up each terminal at $1,500 to $2,000; $1,000 for the computer, software and monitor; $500 to $600 for the network connection; and additional money for tables and
security equipment.
Fitzell and Hoffman did not propose purchasing new computers.
"What they had proposed was that we take discarded PCs that didn't have much value and use those to try to economize and also recycle," Niebaum said. "That's not always good economy. Trying to get old machines to do what you want is no easy task."
Other new systems coming to the University, such as the smart ID card and a new student-records system, will use self-service computer klosks, Niebaum said.
"The worst possible thing is to have a location where you have three different machines to do each of these three functions," Niebaum said. "So we'll need to do a little strategic planning."
Officials calculate education decline
By Graham K. Johnson gjohnson@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The results of a national study have led local politicians and educators to call for educational reforms in math and science.
The Third International Math and Science Study, released Feb 24 by the U. S. Education Department, indicated that, in math and science, U. S. 12th graders outperformed only three of the 21 participating countries.

dards that had been declining, particularly in math and science. Tanner said it was a problem for both high school and college students.
State Rep. Ralph Tanner said he hoped to strengthen Kansas curriculum requirements and stanserious about it."
The countries in the study included most major European countries; Asian countries chose not to participate.
"I am very concerned," Tanner said. "The last few years, we have placed emphasis on improvement in math and science instruction, but we just don't seem to be very
"I don't think it's fair for you to sit in a class at KU with kids who were improperly prepared, and therefore the instructor's time has to be taken up bringing them up to par," he said.
"We have had people who weren't prepared for beginning math classes," Brown said.
Some University of Kansas math classes have had this problem, said Robert Brown, associate chairman of the mathematics department.
Tanner, a member of the House Education Committee, said he thought that a major factor was a lack of teachers who were trained adequately in the subjects they taught.
He encouraged students to take four years of challenging math and science courses. He said the country's global competitiveness depended on a pool of competent employees.
Tanner said the problem required more attention and possibly reforms in teacher training.
Vicki Evans, Lawrence senior and Math 101 student, said that her sister, who attends Eudora High School, did not think she was being challenged in her science and math classes.
MATH AND SCIENCE RESULTS
Richard Riley, U.S. secretary of education, said in a press release that many students had not taken enough math and science classes during high school.
U. S. students ranked among the lowest of 21 participating countries in physics and advanced math.
"Schools of education have not given nearly as much attention to subject matter knowledge on the part of teachers as to pedagogical techniques."Tanner said.

The United States scored 461 on the general math knowledge assessment. The Netherlands topped all countries with a score of 560.
In general science knowledge, the United States scored a 480. Sweden led all countries with a score of 559.
The United States was one of three countries that did not have a significant gender gap in math general knowledge among students at the end of secondary education.

Computer network maps out design plans for group access
aknopf@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Several departments at the University of Kansas are working together to implement a computerized system that allows the departments to share documents such as site and floor plans.
By Aaron Knopf
The system, CYCO AutoManager Workflow, stores and organizes more than 20,000 digital documents that are used for everything from planning construction to analyzing how space is allocated at the University
Having the documents in a central online location should ensure efficient access to accurate information.
included paying for hardware, software and scanning services
The departments that pooled financial resources to purchase and implement the system are design and construction management, facilities operations, networking and telecommunications services, the office of institutional research and planning and the University of Kansas Medical Center.
There are almost 40,000 graphic documents that the departments plan to store in the system, and not all of the documents are current. Some are legacy documents that previously were stored as hard copies in the state architectural offices.
In the last year, the collaborating departments spent about $100,000 on the project, which
Storing the documents in a central online location replaces the need for each department to keep its own set of paper copies.
"I think they saw an opportunity that if they could centralize the data, they could all get it," said Eric Hiebert, CAD network manager for design and construction management.
Hiebert said the departments developed a course of action after studying other universities that were implementing similar systems.
Roger Orok, director of facilities management, said having the information online had helped him work more efficiently.
On any given day, someone might ask him for the width of a street on campus or whether there was an electrical outlet on the tennis courts southwest of Memorial Stadium. Oroke said.
He said that in the past, he would have had to call facilities operations or design and construction management to have someone find the hard copy of the site or floor plan. Now the information is at his fingertips.
"The efficiency of being able to get it to answer a question or offer an opinion is very valuable." Oroke said.
Larry Lovell, assistant director of networking and telecommunications for network engineering, also noted the speedy benefits of the computerized system.
"When an architect submits a set of drawings, it's there within hours of design and construction management getting them," Lovell said.
He said that his department used to have to wait to receive hard copies of those documents and that those hard copies became dated.
"It's nice to be able to go in to CYCO and pull up the most current copy and take it into the field." Lovell said.
Hiebert said the departments should see a return on the investment because of the increased efficiency of the system.
He said that with the new system, people who needed the documents would be able to focus on more productive aspects of their jobs instead of spending time finding the appropriate document.
But not everyone involved with the project has benefited from the system.
"We're not able to really use it to any degree at this point," said Mike Richardson, director of facilities operations.
Richardson said the problems his department was working through were primarily technical. He said facilities operations expected to solve the problems and he was optimistic about the system's value.
"It has potential of helping almost every unit on campus," he said.

Schools answer content request
Regents questioned homosexual content of university courses
By Brandon Coplep bcplepp@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas and one other Board of Regents school reported courses related to homosexuality or bisexuality in response to an anonymous research request from the Kansas Legislature, according to a Regents' report.
The report, forwarded Friday to the Legislature by Regents staff, names two University of Kansas courses with content directly related to homosexuality or bisexuality. Wichita State University reported five courses.
Barb Conant, Regents press secretary, said that as far as the Regents were concerned, the universities
had complied with the request.
"Judging from the responses and the fact that they had to turn this around pretty fast, I'd say they looked as closely as they could," she said.
The Regents office forwarded the request to the universities from the Legislative Research Department in the Kansas Capitol. Legislative research refused to identify the legislator who made the request, citing exemptions for legislative research in the Kansas Open Records Act.
Fort Hays State University refused to provide any course names.
"We didn't feel this was an appropriate request to be making of an institution of higher education," said Rodolfo Arevalo, Fort Hays State Provost. "A lot of the content in any number of our courses may be controversial to somebody, but it also may be important to the students for whom we provide these courses."
Arevao said that no law obligated the universities to respond, although state agencies generally were compelled to respond to the
Board of Regents
inquiries of legislators, who control the state's checkbook
Last week, KU Provost David Shulenburger said he thought the University, as a public institution, was obligated to comply. Shulenburger got the two course names by performing a key-word search of course titles and course descriptions in course catalogs and schedules.
Kansas State University also ran a key-word search of course titles and descriptions, but it found no courses directly pertaining to sexual orientation.
Sue Peterson, K-State assistant to the president, said the K-State faced a similar situation last summer regarding its policy prohibiting discrimination for sexual preference. She said the legislature had taken issue with
the policy because it went beyond the requirements of federal law.
"We told her we made a conscious decision not to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, and we're not going to change that." Peterson said. "And that was the end of it."
The University of Kansas has a similar policy, but no other Regents school includes gays in its anti-discrimination policies.
Emporia State University reported no courses totally devoted to this topic.
Pittsburgh State University said it offered no courses with titles that suggest the topic of homosexuality or bisexuality.
In the event of a legislative attack on course content, Conant said the Regents would come to the universities' defense.
The Etc. Shop 928 Mass.Downtown
"Part of the Regents' mission is to advocate for the universities and for the faculty and staff that work there," she said. "If we believed this information was going to be misused, we would definitely argue for academic freedom."

Sexuality issues topic at Med Center
Lisa Stevens John
john@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
No courses deal specifically with homosexuality or bisexual issues at the University of Kansas Medical Center, said Dorothy Knoll, dean of student services.
"I would be greatly surprised if there were any specific classes devoted totally to that." Knoll said. "On the other hand, as we deal with all of the social groups in our society, I would also be surprised if at some point that topic was not a topic of discussion in the clinical practice."
Knoll said that issues of homosexuality and bisexuality might be discussed in the psychiatry department.
"This is an introductory-level session on sexual development." he
"I would think it wouldn't take a quantum leap to realize that in that field, in psychiatry, that there are many issues that they would have to deal with," Knoll said.
said. "It takes approximately two hours out of a semester-long course."
Calkins said medical students were taught to ask patients about their sexuality when taking patient histories.
"We ask patients if they are sexually active, if they have a single partner or if there are multiple partners and if their partners are male or female," Calkins said. "It is important to know of any health risks that might be associated with sexual activity."
Another area where homosexual and bisexual issues are discussed is in direct encounters with

patients, Calkins said.
"This includes when students learn about HIV/AIDS, which disproportionately affects gays and lesbians," he said. "However, the emphasis is not placed on sexuality but on the disease," Calkins said.

The legislative request for information on the number and description of university courses with homosexual or bisexual content has elicited a reaction from homosexual and liberal oriented groups, and some have established web sites devoted to protesting the request as an attack on homosexuals.
A response also has come from educators who have denounced the request as an infringement on academic freedom.
By Graham K. Johnson gjohnson@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Controversy surrounding the request for homosexual and bisexual content of courses at universities may be just a tempest in a teapot.
"They, of all people, should be for
But Judy Smith, area director for Concerned Women for America, said protests and strong reactions were not warranted.
Smith said she thought it was ironic that educators were reacting so negatively to the information request.
"I feel like they might be pushing the panic button a little soon," Smith said. "It's a little bit thin to be interpreting this as an attack on academic freedom when all people are doing is requesting information."

freedom of speech and information because that benefits them," she said.
Michael Welton, executive director of the Christian Coalition's Kansas affiliate, said that an important issue in the request controversy was how public funds were spent.
23rd & Louisiana (next to Godfather's) 842-1547
"It sounds like a legitimate question, if you are a legislator, to ask what is being taught with tax-payer dollars," Welton said.
Smith agreed. She said that although homosexuality was a legitimate topic of study, the concern among some legislators might be that excessive study could cross the line into advocacy of homosexuality as a lifestyle.
"If that were the line that was crossed, that would be a concern because the universities are being supported by tax dollars." Smith said.
Both Smith and Welton declined to say whether their groups would support an effort to restrict funding to universities whose courses bordered on advocacy of homosexuality or bisexuality.
"Not having seen the courses, I would have to reserve my opinion on that," Smith said. "I really don't know what is being taught."
"I think it is a tempest in a teapot until you understand the context." Smith said. "We have no idea why this was requested."

Board discusses controversial field house sign
Athletics department talks of policy raises questions about free speech
By Eric Weslander
Kansan sports editor
People disagree about whether the Kansas Athletics Department has the right to remove questionable signs from Allen Field House.
But one thing is sure: When men's basketball coach Roy Williams talks, fans in the Allen Field House student section listen.
So if Williams were to discourage derogatory signs such as, "I'm blind, I'm deaf, I wanna be a ref," it is likely that students
would pay attention, a member of the Kansas University Athletic Corporation Board said yesterday.
"I would bet the ranch that all of that stops when the coach says so," said Jan Kozma, professor of French and Italian and a faculty representative to the board.
At a meeting yesterday, the KUAC board discussed these and other aspects of the Athletics Department's policy on signs deemed inappropriate or offensive. A subcommittee headed by David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, will look into
the policy's details and how the policy is enforced.
Yesterday's discussion was in response to an incident earlier in the semester in which a field house usher tore up a student's sign that read, "I'm blind, I'm deaf. I wanna be a ref."
During the Feb.23 game against Oklahoma, many students held smaller versions of the sign, and the signs were not confiscated.
Athletics director Bob Frederick began the discussion by saying that the department was standing by its policy.
"We feel that our legal position is solid, based on what we have written on the back of tickets," he said. "When people come into the field house, we have the right to police those things that we feel
are out of line."
David Katzman, professor of American Studies and a faculty representative to the board, replied that many faculty members had expressed concern about the policy's First Amendment implications.
Frederick: Sticks with department's decision.
"It's a symbolic issue for the faculty in terms of free speech," he said. "Given the concern of the faculty, I hoped the board would have a chance to visit this issue."
Some board members expressed concern that the sign in question may have been offensive to people with disabilities. Tom Mullinazzi, associate dean of the School of Engineering, said high schools across the state were likely to mirror any offensive or unsportsmanlike conduct at the University.
"Athletics are a part of the University," he said. "And if we don't have free speech, we may as well shut the University down."
The thorny issue is that there is no objective way to determine what is offensive. Katzman said after the meeting. And if a sign is deemed insensitive or even harmful to the University's image, it still deserves some kind of protection, he said.
Creighton next on deck for Kansas
By John Blakely Wilson Kansan sportswriter
Despite frigid temperatures better suited for ice hockey than baseball, Kansas plays a mid-week game against Creighton at 3 p.m. today.
The Jayhawks return to Hoglund-Maupin Stadium after winning one of three games against Oklahoma State (7-6) last weekend in Stillwater, Okla. Coach Bobby Randall said his team had gained valuable experience against the Cowboys.
the performances of two freshmen were key to Sunday's 10-inning victory. Shortstop John Nelson hit a triple and scored in the top of the 10th inning, and pitcher Peter Smart got his first save after striking out two Cowboys in the bottom of the inning.
Pitching also was important in Sunday's victory. Les Walrond, Chris Williams and Smart combined to slow the Cowboys' hitting.
"Our pitchers really did a great job," Nelson said. "We knew we could compete with this team. This gives us a confidence boost early in the season."
Randall said Creighton (4-5) had played a difficult schedule, including a series last weekend at New Mexico State.
"Even though they aren't 'Oklahoma or Oklahoma State, we won't take them lightly.' Randall said. "They're a talented Division I team, and it will take the same kind of effort to heat them as it did last weekend."
Randall said he had seen several players improve throughout the weekend in Stillwater.
"Clint Wyrick made a game-saving defensive play on Sunday, and Randy Case hit two home runs on Saturday," Randall said.
During the upcoming weeks, he said, more of the team members will be able to contribute at this level of competition.

Forwards Raef LaFrentz and Paul Pierce, who helped lead No. 3 Kansas to a 31-3 record this season, were unanimous selections to The Associated Press first team All-Big 12 Conference yesterday.
Texas tech guard Cory Carr,
Oklahoma guard Corey Brewer
and Nebraska guard Tyronn Lue
also were chosen for the first
team. Carr was a unanimous
selection.
LaFrentz led Kansas in both points (20.4) and rebounds (11.4) per game.
LaFrentz missed nine games midway through the season because of a broken right hand. In his first game back, a Jan. 24 victory against Texas Tech, LaFrentz had 31 points and 15 rebounds.
After the game, Texas Tech coach James Dickey praised LaFrentz's performance.
"Raef will be the first player taken in the draft," Dickey said.
"He made great plays and made great shots. That is tough to do when you have been out for nine games, to come back like that."
Pierce ranked second for Kansas in both points (20.1) and rebounds (6.9) per game. He provided the Jayhawks with some consistency in LaFrentz's absence and has scored in double
figures for 46 straight games.
Carr led the Big 12 in scoring for the second consecutive season with 23.4 points per game despite being the focus of every opponent's defense. He, like Pierce, considered the NBA last spring but chose to stay in school.
Lue averaged 21.4 points per game and ranks among the Cornhuskers' leaders in most offensive categories. Nebraska has won six consecutive games entering postseason play.
Brewer averaged 21.2 points per game and helped lead the injury-
riddled Sooners to a 20-9 record this season. They finished third in the Big 12 with an 11-5 conference mark.
Some people were surprised that Baylor center Brian Skinner, who finished among the conference leaders in points (18.1) and rebounds (9.5) per game, was left off the first team. Skinner led the league with 3.3 blocked shots per game and 56.5 percent shooting "from the floor."
With six first-team players, one had to receive a second-team designation.
In a press conference last week, Pierce was asked who he would select for the first team, and he chose Skinner.
"I like Carr and Skinner. And I wouldn't throw Raef off because he's my teammate." Pierce said. "I'd have to throw Lue off the first team. I'll take Brewer over Lue."
Other players named to the second team included Texas guard Kris Clack, Kansas State forward Manny Dies, and two Oklahoma State Cowboys — center Brett Robisch and guard Adrian Peterson.
Kansas honorable mentions included guards Ryan Robertson and Billy Thomas.

Kansas women want revenge
Both Kansas State Baylor have beaten team once this year
By Kevin C. Wilson
Kansas stateUUU
The Jayhawks, after a first-round bye, will face the winner of tonight's game between the sixth-seeded Baylor Bears and the 17th-seeded Kansas State Wildcats at at 2:00 p.m. Wednesday.
The Big 12 Women's Basketball Conference Tournament kicks off today at Kansas City's Municipal Auditorium, with eight teams looking to advance to the quarterfinal round tomorrow.
Let the madness begin.
Kansas coach Marian Washington said that in the postseason, every team had to be respected.
Washington said that she did not have a preference between the two teams but that she would not mind taking on the Wildcats again.
Kansas split the season series with Kansas State — losing 53-47 on Jan. 7 and defeating the Wildcats on June 2 on Feb. 2 — but lost its only battle with Baylor, 65-59, on Jan. 3.
"This is the time of year they call the second season," Washington said. "It will be a fiercely competitive tournament and an opportunity for any team to get in the NCAA Tournament."
Baylor and Kansas State have victories against Kansas this year.
Revenge will be a factor for the Jayhawks, regardless of which team advances today.
tournament with four straight losses. The Wildcats are led by guard Brit Jacobson and center Angie Finks.
"It wasn't enough just splitting with them," Washington said.
Kansas State, 10-16 overall and 4-
12 in the Big 12, limped into
Baylor, 17-9 overall and 10-6 in Big 12 play, is led by two players who were named to the second team All-Big 12, guard Lara Webb and center Kacy Moffitt.
Kansas guard Suzi Raymant said she and teammate Syln Pride had discussed their desire to meet the Bears again.

"We want to get a win over Baylor since we already beat Kansas State," Raymant said.
Other games on tap for today's first round include Oklahoma State (No. 5 seed) vs. Missouri (12), Texas (7) vs. Texas A&M (10), and Colorado (8) vs. Oklahoma (9).

THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
Professors bound by book law
State limits free textbooks for instructors
By Gerry Dayle
gdayle at kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A new ruling by the Kansas Commission on Governmental Standards is closing the book on free examination copies of textbooks for professors.
The ruling, which was published in the Dec. 18, 1997, issue of the "Kansas Register," states that accepting free desk copies of textbooks and newspapers valued at $40 or more is a violation of the State of Kansas Conflict of Interest laws.
A University of Kansas faculty member may accept these materials, but if he or she leaves the
University, the materials must be relinquished to the library. Additionally, professors may not give or sell the books to anyone.
The ruling was prompted by Arthur Morin, a professor at Fort Hays State University, who in September 1997 asked the commission whether free textbooks were the property of the professor or the state.
The ruling probably would not affect professors at the University too much, said Provest David Shulenburger. Teachers still could keep and use the books, Shulenburger said.
He said that there had been no complaints from the faculty about the change, and no one would be adversely affected by the ruling.
(USPS 650-640)
"I think people understand the circumstances," Shulenburger said. "People can go ahead and request the books, get them and put them on the shelf. They
remain there until they leave the University."
Laurence Draper, professor of microbiology and president of University Senate, said the ruling probably would not affect him as a teacher. As long as textbooks still are accessible and can be used by faculty, the policy is not a problem, Draper said.
"It's not really a problem," he said. "I have all sorts of books. If they want me to give them to the library, I'll give them to the library. I might like to give them to schools that need them and don't have them, but if that's the law, that's the law. If the state wants them, the state can have them."
Although the policy prevents professors from giving textbooks away, the educational process would not be negatively affected, he said.
The policy is benign as long as it does not hinder professors' abilities to get free textbooks,
said Jan Kozma, professor of French and Italian.
Kozma said that her department received about five or six textbook packages per basic French and Italian course, and that each package cost about $75.
"I have no problem with the policy," she said. "I would have a problem if we had to buy examination copies. We check so many copies that we couldn't possibly afford to buy all the ones sent to us."
As long as teachers are able to get the materials they need to be effective in the classroom, the policy will not affect students much, said Michelle Etnire, Overland Park senior. Faculty teaching methods would not be altered, so education would not change, Etnire said.
"I don't think it's that big of a deal," she said. "It might be kind of an inconvenience. And it could be hard to have to give them back. People can grow attached to books."
On the books
Professors may not give away or regard as personal property free examination copies of books and newspapers which cost more than $40.
A December 1997 ruling by the Kansas Commission on Government Standards states that faculty members must turn over such texts to the library when leaving the University.

Senate to consider Headquarters bill
Budget shortfall recurring problem for crisis center
By Marc Sheforgen
mssheforgen@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A bill to provide emergency financing for the Headquarters Counseling Center is included in legislation for tonight's Student Senate meeting.
Headquarters, 1419 Massachusetts St., provides free 24-hour mental health services including counseling and education to University of Kansas students, faculty and staff, and Lawrence residents.
Headquarters is asking Senate for $5,935 to pay for rent, utilities and personnel services.
"There's no question that the kind of help that we provide for KU students is worth way more than the amount of money we are asking for from Student Senate," she said. "It's a really good investment."
Senate allocated $38,400 for Headquarters this year after allocating $48,300 for Headquarters last year.
She said that the center provided services to about 1,000 individuals per month, half of whom were KU students.
The difference of almost $10,000 has left Headquarters' budget short, said Marcia Epstein, director of Headquarters.
Pat Mazumdar, graduate senator, said he was concerned with Headquarter's budgeting. Mazumdar said that Headquarters also asked Senate for additional

financing this time last year. He said repeated requests for additional financing were an unacceptable trend for any organization.
But, Mazumdar, who is sponsoring the bill to finance Headquarters, said Senate should bail out an important service if it is in trouble.
"This is a really useful, productive, essential organization for this University and for Lawrence's community as well," he said. "I think that if the Senate has the money, they should give it to them."
The money, if allocated, would come from the Senate reserve account, funds that Senate allocated to organizations last year but that the organizations did not spend.
Tom Preheim, Senate treasurer, said that it was wrong to finance Headquarters with reserve account money. He said that the money should be used for financing emergencies involving Senate-run services such as KU on Wheels.
Preheim said he thought that the sponsors of the bill turned to the reserve account for support because the unallocated account was running low. He said that he did not agree with this means of obtaining money.
"I think it sets a bad precedent for other groups to come and look to the reserve account when they have a need for funding," he said.
City votes to modify sidewalks, drain grates
By Jeremy M. Doherty
donerty@kansan.cor
Kansan staff writer
University of Kansas students and Lawrence residents can expect Iowa Street's storm grates and sidewalks to receive a makeover later this year.
Members of the Lawrence City Commission decided unanimously last night to approve two recommendations calling for modified drain grates and wider sidewalks along Iowa Street. The area in question is near the Lied Center and University residence halls on Daisy Hill.
However, Mike Wildgen, city manager, said that it was unlikely that all of the recommendations would be completed because of a lack of funds in the city's budget.
In its report, the commission estimated that the grate modification project would cost $6,300. The cost of widening the sidewalks, which stretch from 23rd Street to 6th Street, was estimated at $113,490, said to the report.
"There's only about $75,000 for non-motorized items." Wildgen said. "This will have to compete with handicapped ramps, bike clubs and intersections without curb cuts."
Given the limited funds, city commissioners prioritized the recommendations. The drain grates and the sidewalks between 23rd and 19th streets will be the only projects funded.
Work will begin on the modifications following the completion of the 1998 budget. Wildgen said.
Jim Turner, president of the Lawrence Bicycle Club, proposed the drain grate project to the Traffic Safety Commission last December. He said that for at least three years, the grates had been unsafe for bicyclists.
"Thus far, we've just had to avoid them," Turner said.
The grates' metal bars run parallel to the flow of traffic. The gaps between the bars are wide enough for a passing bicycle tire to fall through easily, Turner said.

Counseling helps students cope with midterms

For students who wander into midterm exams unprepared, Jim Kreider, a counselor at the University of Kansas' Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), has a one-word definition: stress.
Relder said that many students who fell behind in their studies could be swamped midway through the semester.

Kreider said that to help students deal with midterm stress, the first objective was to identify the major sources of stress and then begin

taking steps to deal with the stress. He said that CAPS taught stress-management skills, such as stretching and breathing exercises and relaxation techniques, Kreider said.
CAPS teaches stress-management skills during group sessions on Tuesday nights at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
However, sometimes just learning how to study is important, Kreider said.
"Many high school students really haven't had to study all that hard, especially if they're bright,"
"You can get coffee, and it's bright," McNeel said.
Ryan McNeel, Overland Park senior, said he liked to go the cafeteria to study.
Sometimes finding a comfortable atmosphere for studying can help reduce stress.
Kreider said. "And then they get to college and may not even know how to study."
Dave Clark, Derby junior, bit into a hamburger as he studied for a test in population biology. Clark had been studying in the cafeteria for about two hours.
"I can't concentrate at home," Clark said. "There's always the stereo or the food or the TV going on," Clark said. "So I have to go to the library or somewhere else where I can't be distracted."
While some students work on dealing with midsemester stress, other students offer advice on how to be prepared for midterm exams.
"Don't stress," Katie Feldmann, St. Louis senior, said.
Bill Cutler, Omaha senior, agreed

Two rapes reported to police last weekend
Wheeler said the woman and her boyfriend got into an argument Saturday night at Sports Page Brewery, 3512 Clinton Pkwy. The woman then left and began to walk back to her hotel room at the Bismarck Inn of Lawrence, 1130 N. Third St, Wheeler said.
The first rape occurred between 11:40 p.m. Saturday and midnight Sunday in the 500 block of Maine Street and involved a California woman who was traveling through town.
While she was walking on a sidewalk on Sixth Street, a car containing three men pulled up beside her. Wheeler said.
"She said they grabbed her and dragged her in the car," Wheeler said. "They then took her to the 500 block of Maine, dragged her into a weeded field, forced her to the ground and raped her."
Wheeler said that police investigated the field, which was located behind a house on Maine Street. No evidence of rape was found at the scene, and the occupants of the house were not interviewed.
"There was no evidence there to warrant a further investigation," Wheeler said. He said the suspects were described as white males in their 20s.
The second rape occurred between 12:05 and 1:05 a.m. Sunday in the 600 block of Gateway Drive. Wheeler said the victim was a 17-year-old Eudora girl who became intoxicated at a house party.
At 3 p.m. Sunday, the girl reported being raped and named several possible suspects, he said.
The investigations of both reports are continuing, Wheeler said.

The two suspects in the Feb. 19 armed robbery of Douglas County Bank, 711 W. 23rd St., have been captured in Wichita, Lawrence police said.
Lawrence police Lt. Dan Affalter said that the two men, one from Lawrence and one from Kansas City, were arrested Feb. 23 in Wichita.

Albanians defying Serbs fighting for independence
CIREZ, Yugoslavia — in a show of mass defiance, more than 30,000 ethnic Albanians evaded Serb roadblocks yesterday to attend the funeral of two dozen compatriots killed by police in weekend violence.
Mourners in the province of Kosovo sent Serbian authorities a strong message. Three days of violence have only strengthened their push for independence from Serb-dominated yugoslavia, made up of Serbia and the small republic of Montenegro.
The burials coincided with reports of a weekend massacre of 11 male members of a family who allegedly were rounded up by Serb police and executed.
In the harshest U.S. criticism yet of the crackdown on ethnic Albanians, Robert Gelbard, the top American envoy to the Balkans, warned that Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, who controls Serbia, is risking the collapse of his government if the violence does not cease.
The bodies of 24 ethnic Albanians killed during the weekend were buried on a hill in this remote Kosovo village yesterday. One was buried Monday.
Premature baby delivered in plane on KCI runway
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The plane arrived a little before 1.13 a.m. with one extra passenger.
Alexis Rodriguez. was born ahead of schedule aboard a Southwest Airlines plane that had just landed at Kansas City International Airport on a flight from Phoenix.
Joseph Rodriguez, 20, of Overland Park, Kan., said his 1-pound, 15-ounce daughter seemed fine at Children's Mercy Hospital after her birth Sunday. She was in critical condition Monday, a normal condition for premature infants, a hospital spokesman said.
The baby's mother, Bridgett Williams, was 26 weeks into her pregnancy and had found out only recently that she was pregnant.

Senate may urge recycling
Resolution would spur University use of recycled paper
By Graham K. Johnson gjohnson@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Recycled questions on exams are common at the University of Kansas, but Student Senate wants to make sure they will be printed only on recycled paper.
Student Senate will consider a resolution tonight that recommends all departments use recycled paper when possible. If passed, the resolution would be sent to each department and the provost, said Kevin Yoder, Interfraternity Council senator.
Although the resolution is nonbinding, it carries a strong message that students support the use of recycled paper, Yoder said.
A survey cited in the resolution says that in the fall semester of 1996, 37 of 100 University departments surveyed used recycled paper.
"It's saying that students are in favor of this policy," Yoder said. "Basically, students agree that this should be a priority."
Todd Simmons, Augusta senior and head of the Environmental Studies Student Association, said he thought that the resolution would encourage increased use of recycled paper.
The resolution claims that the use of recycled paper requires 64 percent less energy and causes 74 percent less air pollution than the processing of non-recycled paper.
Bill Franklin, chairman of Franklin Associates LTD in Prairie Village, an environmental consulting firm, said recycled paper was beneficial.
sions some," Franklin said.
"Those percentages seem a little high in terms of savings, but in general, using recycled paper saves some energy and reduces emis-
Yoder said that there had been no opposition to date, and he thought the resolution would pass. Whether the departments and the provost would act was another matter, Yoder said.
Provost David Shulenburger said that he would support the idea, but state contracts to buy paper may hamper a complete switch to recycled paper.
"I'm 100 percent in favor of the idea," Shulenburger said. "We should use recycled paper any time we can."
Victoria Silva, environmental specialist with the Office of Resource Conservation and Recycling, said one obstacle to a recycled paper switch would be the cost. Recycled paper costs more than the virgin paper being used now. Silva said.
But she said that by supporting the recycled paper industry, the costs eventually could be brought down.
Project Unity to extend reach of Queers and Allies group
By Sara Anderson sanderson@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Marvin Decker, Queers and Allies social coordinator, wants to help spark togetherness in the gay and campus communities.
Decker, along with other Queers and Allies members, hope that Project Unity will do just that.
Project Unity is an attempt to increase communication between Queers and Allies and other organizations.
"When I transferred here from Oregon, I noticed that the group had a pretty strong history, but it wasn't reflected with the current membership." Decker said. "We used to have a strong presence on campus, so I wanted to find a way to restore the group to its former glory."
Project Unity's goals include increasing the scope of Queers and Allies' services to serve broader segments of the lesbian, bisexual, gay and transgendered communities both locally and regionally.
"In general, we want to deal with everyone." Decker said. "By including other groups, we want to overcome isolation and unite the queer community across the region. We want to provide our members with a large support group."
Decker said that Project Unity also was interested in establishing communication with groups that don't usually interact with Queers and Allies.
"We'd especially like to focus on groups we haven't had a lot of contact with," he said. "The Greek system is one example. We want to decrease animosity and make greeks more aware of Q&A issues and Q&A more aware of Greek issues. When you increase awareness, you get along better."
Queers and Allies kick off the project by attending a Valentine's
Day dance, sponsored by several gay community groups in the Kansas City area.
The first official campus event was the Rainbow Dance on Saturday at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union.
Kevin King, Topeka senior and publicity coordinator for Queens and Allies, said that the dance was successful. Around 110 people attended.
"It was one of the most successful events I've seen in the three years I've been with the organization," he said.
King said that he thought it was a good time to present the project to the community.
"The time is right for this type of project," he said. "Lots of people want to come out and form relationships with others."
Decker said groups wishing to participate could contact Project Unity by e-mail at PrjetUnity@aol.com.

Delta Force's senators shouldn't skip out to go to their kickoff party
Delta Force is holding its campaign kickoff party tonight - right when Student Senate will be meeting.
Student senators who also are Delta Force candidates should not skip the meeting or attempt to change the agenda so they can leave early. Doing so would send a strong message to voters — that these senators care more about running for office than they do about holding the job.
The scheduling of the kickoff party was unfortunate, and admittedly not entirely the fault of Delta Force. The party originally had been scheduled for last night, but the Granada, where the party will be held, changed the date.
Emily Heath, Delta Force presidential candidate, said that her coalition's senators would not be absent from the Senate meeting or leave early to go to the kickoff party. We will hold her, and the senators, to her word.
Senators who abandon their responsibilities to go politick don't deserve to be re-elected
Should they break this promise, then students should not vote for these candidates. Student senators who would rather attend a campaign kick-off than do their job have no business in Senate. They certainly have no business running for re-election.
Heath said that when the Granada changed the date of the event, Delta Force tried to find another place to hold their party, but was unable to locate a usable venue.
Perhaps if Delta Force wanted all members to attend, it should have postponed its kick-off party.
Lawrence has no shortage of available places to hold such events. When the conflict with Senate arose, Delta Force's campaign managers should have rescheduled it so that their candidates who are already in Senate would not have had this conflict — and potential temptation.
This mishap was probably the result of unfortunate circumstances rather than political malfeasance—and the coalition should work harder to plan its events around other responsibilities. Delta Force members should realize that this issue is too serious to brush off with an "Oh well, they changed our time." That excuse shouldn't be bought.
Any senator tries to alter the agenda of Senate so he can go work on getting re-elected shouldn't worry about coming back after he leaves. Because voters shouldn't let him.
Paul Eakins and Andy Obermueller for the editorial board
Keep it clean and come out fighting
In the past few years, Student Senate elections have carried with them reports of not only debates and campaigning but also reports of tire slashings, car flippings, banner snatching and even voter fraud.
Students may want their elected representatives to be professional, but strong-arm, Machiavellian tactics not only aren't necessary, but turn students away from student government. Enough students don't vote as it is — candidates should be loathe to further disgruntle more of the University's already-apathetic studentry.
The Student Senate campaign has begun: Lines have been drawn, coalitions formed, and yes, the buttons are probably on the way. The battle
We can do without negative campaigning sell yourself don't mar your opponent
is inevitable. So as they say in boxing, "Let's keep it clean, and come out fighting." After all, even war has rules.
Students should demand an end to fingers in the eyes and hits below the belt the way civilized countries have agreed to banning Agent Orange and anthrax.
don Liddys running around. And to be honest, we'd rather see the club notes from the University Women's Garden Society run on page one than a report of some yahoo ripping up campaign posters in Wescoe Hall.
Remember, the election is still more than a month away. We think there's enough news on campus already without a bunch of potential G. Gor-
And here's a tip: The best way to campaign is to put yourself in the best light possible. This can be accomplished without dirtying your opponent's name.
Any student candidate who engages in dirty campaigning should not be supported by students. Such disrespect for the process invalidates the right to hold office.
Candidates who campaign on their own integrity — and whatever issues they support — are the only candidates who deserve consideration.

Perspective
Column new addition to NBC's Must See TV
Last week I became quite disoriented. On Wednesday I picked up my University Daily Kansan as I do everyday, and I suddenly realized I had gone color blind. This
newfound color blindness shocked me into a vertigolike state that dropped me where I stood — on the sidewalk to Wescoe Hall.
While I was out I had a weird hallucination in which the disembodied head of Andy Obermeller's colorless mugshot danced before me speaking bizarre truths, like what's in the secret sauce, and why man's inhumanity to man culminated in MTV's The Real World. Finally the head led
Nick Bartkoski
ibartkoski@kansan.com
me to a giant TV screen which flashed the Truth.
When I woke up in front of Wescoe on Friday, my colorblindness was gone, and I woke remembering the Truth, a realization more important than the fact that dogs had been using me as a bathroom for two days.
Seinfeld is going away. NBC has said they're worried about how to fill in the time slot, so how could they better replace the lynch pin of Thursday night than with a show based on the funniest college newspaper column since newsprint was invented? Unfortunately they probably can't get those rights, so instead they can purchase the rights to my column.
Basing a show on my column is a natural idea. As I'm sure one or two of you remember, CBS once had a show based on Dave Barry's columns called Dave's World. Since The Kansan hasn't figured out that my columns are just old Dave columns with my name on them, I'm sure it would take NBC years to realize that I'm just handing them old episodes of Dave's World that I taped off Channel 5.
Right now my column is a little spartan. Every good sitcom has supporting characters. Unfortunately the most compelling characters in my columns are ICAN (the International Conspiracy Against Nick) and my cat, Sparky.
So starting now, I'm adding three characters to improve my column's marketability. First is Enrique the Pool Lad. In case you hadn't noticed, when I name things I enjoy giving them titles.
Enrique will be the kind of wacky, zany balance to my subdued and gentle nature. While I'm not sure why he's "the Pool Lad," I'm sure that's a show topic just waiting to be explored, maybe even in a special two-part episode for
My second character will be my roommate. His job is to sit in his corner of the room looking at his computer while hilarity ensues around him. Much like in real life, his prolonged exposure to my 24-hour volume and idiocy has put him in such a state that he can tone out the rest of the world, even to the point of ignoring a full-scale revolution occurring in the hallway.
sweeps month.
I'm sure a few of you have heard that in the original pilot of Seinfeld, there was no Elaine. After seeing the pilot, NBC asked Seinfeld to add a woman character. Well, I'm far ahead of the NBC brass. Since there are no female characters in my real life, I need to take some creative liberties with reality. My last character is a woman named Marge who used to date me — much like Elaine with Seinfeld.
But I can only take so many liberties with reality. To keep this show somewhat grounded in reality, Marge is a militantly man-hating, feminist lesbian. She chose this lifestyle because of her one date with me, and spends each show trying to kill the other three male characters.
Now before I start getting angry letters from everyone in the world, I should mention that not all feminists are lesbians and vice versa. Additionally both groups are certainly not necessarily man-hating. However, extrapolating on real life, I can only assume that Marge's realization that I am a heterosexual male would drive her to distance herself from ever having the possibility of interacting with me in a romantic way again — leading her down the path of militantly man-hating feminism and lesbianism.
With my newly introduced characters, the face of my column will be forever changed. Let's first look at an example of my column before the characters: Those new ID cards, boy do they suck.
And now with the characters added in: "Those new ID cards, boy do they suck," I said. Enrique finds this so funny that he shoots milk out his nose at such a frzenied velocity that it's like a fire hose. This stream shatters a camera lens. The overwhelming sound of a laugh track almost makes my roommate stir from his Jedi Knight game. Marge busts through the door with a bazaook and shoots Enrique. "Oh my God, you've killed Enrique. You bastard." I shout.
"Wait a second," shouts the newly arrived Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of South Park. "You stole our bit, we're going to sue."
"Get in line," says Dave Barry.
Get in the, says Dave Barry.
Damned if this isn't Must See TV.

Feedback
Oprah not a good role model for youth
I'm writing in response to Tina Terry's March 2 column, "Oprah among best female role models for children."
Do not think I am trying to
I'm a little dubious of considering people with extreme amounts of power as role models for my nieces. I feel like there are too many people with too much power being considered role models. Be they actors, musicians, or athletes, how can we expect our children to look up to them? What we know of them is what is seen and heard in the mass media.
These power models give people a false sense that anyone can gain just as much power. Power such as
take anything away from Oprah Winfrey, what she has overcome, and what she has done for others. I will be the first to admit my admiration for her but in no way do I want her to be a role model for children because of her power. No doubt she would be a good role model for kids who know her personally, or if she ever became a mother. On the other hand, I could not model my life after someone I see on television five days a week, barring reruns. My nieces should not do this either.
Oprah's is reserved for a very limited few.
My role models are the people who brought me into this world and those who taught me what I know. If disagreeing with Oprah being "the supreme role model" makes me one of the "jealous few," then so be it. People need to model their lives after their parents, grandparents, friends and teachers — not powerful superstars. Ms. Terry, I hope you have others to look up to besides Oprah. If you do not, I know some pretty good teachers. Hey, if all else fails, I will give you my parents' phone number.

Delta Force arms for election
Coalition kicks off campaign tonight at the Granada
By Melissa Ngo
mngo@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Delta Force coalition members are seeking to change the Student Senate system, and they will kick off their 1998 campaign with speeches and bands tonight at 9 p.m. at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St.
Matt Dunbar, off-campus senator and the coalition's student body vice-presidential candidate, said Delta Force wanted to improve Senate's relationship with the student body
He said that the coalition would not spend a lot of time handing out fliers on sidewalks but would visit different groups to get feedback on the campaign issues.
"People will care more about issues when they can tell you how they feel about it," Dunbar said. "We don't want to say 'Here's what we believe, vote for it.'"
Margaret E.
Heath: Says Delta Force goal is to empower students
Emily Heath, Center for Community Outreach co-director and Delta Force's student body presidential candidate, said the group had conducted brown bag lunch discussions and town hall meetings throughout the year to get student feedback about issues.
"The idea behind Delta Force is empowering students," Heath said. "We believe in standing up for things and having a strong voice."
Delta Force ran in last year's Senate elections and won 22 of the 57 available seats. The coalition stayed together because those involved wanted to continue to work on the issues. Heath said.
Seth Hoffman, All Scholarship Hall Council senator and Delta Force Nunemaker senator candidate, said some Delta Force issues included improving campus safety through a nighttime student patrol and escort service, creating e-mail kiosks and improving minority recruitment and retention.

diverse, but there are certain areas that are," Hoffman said. "KU is not drawing as much as they can from those areas."
Improving diversity and improving Senate outreach are important to Delta Force members, Heath said.
"We want to bring Senate to the students, not force the students to come to Senate."
Heath said. We were thinking of having rotating Senate meetings. We want to make people feel that they can fit in."

Heather Yates, Delta Force candidate for College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, said she joined Delta Force because the group had a plan to accomplish its issues and improve student apathy.
Dunbar: New Delta Force vice presi-
dential candidate
Yates said she wanted to improve campus safety, parking, advising and diversity.
"I want to create a campus that has more student input so that the campus reflects the student body, not just a small group that makes all the choices," Yates said. "I want students to be able to change what's going on through their criticism."
Another important issue for Delta Force is increasing voter turnout by increasing the diversity of ideas. Heath said.
"We want to reach out to different populations that haven't been reached out to before so that they'll come vote because they're more invested in it." she said.
Another way that Delta Force is getting people involved is through the Friends of the Force group.
"Students who can't run because they're graduating or because Senate's not their thing can still work on the issues and be involved," Heath said. "They advise and plan and help with a lot, including the grunt work."
Last year's student body president, Grey Montgomery, is an adviser, Heath said.
Coalition gets new candidate for vice president

Kansan staff writer
Matt Dunbar, off-campus senator, replaced Seth Hoffman, All Scholarship Hall Council senator, as the Delta Force coalition's student body vice-presidential candidate yesterday morning.
"I've decided that now is not the time for me to run for vice-presi-

Hoffman: Will not run as vice-president candidate
Emily Heath.
Center for Community Outreach co-director and Delta Force's student body presidential candidate, said that the decision to replace Hoffman was not taken lightly.
"We've been discussing this for awhile and decided that this would be the best thing for the coalition," Heath said.
Hoffman has worked this year to bring e-mail kiosks to the University, to create a campus safety patrol program and to institute a Daisy Hill polling site.
The coalition formally will announce the candidates and kick off its campaign tonight at 9 p.m. at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St.
The deadline for filing presidential and vice-presidential forms at the Office of Student Life, 138 Strong Hall, is 5 p.m. Wednesday, March 11.
Wednesday, March 18, is the deadline for filing coalition and independent candidacy forms.
Senate seats may go to minorities
Kansan staff writer
By Melissa Nao
in Senate and to express minority views.
Student Senate might debate a bill to add four new Senate seats during tonight's 6:30 meeting at the Big 12 room in the Kansas Union.
Dion Jones, holdover senator, introduced a bill to add seats for representatives from Hispanic American Leadership Organization, Black Student Union, Native American Student Association and Asian American Student Union in the Student Rights committee last week, but the bill was tabled before it could be discussed.
Jones said he would go to the Student Executive Committee meeting before tonight's Senate meeting to ask that the bill be placed on the agenda.
Jones said he wanted to create these seats to increase minority representation
"I from my perspective, these are the groups that I have seen dealing with the most issues." Jones said. "Their perspectives and purposes are different from other organizations."
Jones said that if senators thought that other organizations deserved Senate seats, they could write a bill to create those seats.
Pat Mazumdar, graduate senator, said that although he agreed with many aspects of the bill, it should not have been discussed last week because Jones had not talked to all of the organizations. Jones had talked to BSU and HALO.
"Dion should go to official meetings of all four organizations and have them decide whether they want a seat or not," Mazumdar said. "I think that it's a good bill that's worth discussing next week."
Mazudam compared the bill to the 1996-97 Senate's vote to keep the International Council seat when it changed its name to
the International Student Association. The problem was that the group did not want the seat. Mazumdar said.
The student body president voeted the bill after talking to the group, Mazumdar said.

Sandé Beauboeuf, BSU president and St. Louis junior, said BSU had discussed Jones' bill at its last two meetings and wholeheartedly supported the bill.
"I just don't want that to happen again," he said.
If the bill is passed, the four organizations would join the Association of University Residence Halls, All Scholarship Hall Council, Interfraternity Council, National Pan Hellenic Council and Panhellenic Association, which now appoint Senate representatives.
"This bill does address the fact that we need real representation on Student Senate to have a voice on Senate and to have an impact on what it does," she said.

According to Maria Eifler, a curatorial assistant at the museum, the skeleton is from a female manatee that weighed about 1,600 pounds. The manatee was washed up on the coast of Georgia. Eifler said there were about 3,000 manates in the world and mainly were found by the Florida coasts. Because the manatee is an endangered species, the skeleton belongs to the federal government. However, the museum is assembling the skeleton to put it on display in conjunction with a traveling Smithsonian exhibit on manates, which opens April 11. "If it's just like a big puzzle," said Eifler. "I know kids see pictures and specials on manates on television, but I hope the skeleton will help them see how impressive they really are."

Anthropology museum has whale of an exhibit
By Portia Stewart Special to the Kansan
A giant red and black orca greets visitors as they enter the newest exhibit at the University of Kansas Museum of Anthropology in Spooner Hall.
The orca, or killer whale, is a mural depiction of one of the artifacts that will be on display until Aug. 16 in the "American Indian of the Northwest Coast" exhibit.
Alfred Johnson, director of the museum, said that several of the items in the exhibit had been on display in the museum but that this would be the first time the complete collection was displayed as a separate exhibit.
"It's a wonderfully broad representation," Johnson said.
The collection represents Indian artifacts from Washington to the British Coast and from Alaska
A learning station for children was created by Celia Daniels, education coordinator for the museum. A giant inflatable orca is used to teach children about the design elements used by
Northwest Coast Indian tribes.
Daniels said that when children left the learning station, the artifacts would look familiar.
The learning stations also helps adults, she said.
"With the children's activities, not only do the children get something that's at their level, but the parents maybe have the opportunity to leave the kids there working on it and go and really take a second look at things," Daniels said.
Bryna Lawrence, a Susquama and Klamam Indian, is from the Puget Sound area in Washington, where her family lives on the Susquama Indian reservation. Some of the items in the collection are from Lawrence's tribe.

Lawrence said that she recognized the weave of a basket in the collection. She thought it might have been woven by her great aunt. Nancv Ewwe.
"This basket looks exactly like one that's in my tribal museum," Lawrence said.
"The designs are pretty simi

KU students played a role in the research and development of the exhibit. The information they gathered was used to create labels on the artifacts in the exhibit.
Kate Eviliszer, Englewood,
Colo., senior, researched ceremonial artifacts, including a bird-whistle with a painted wooden bird head and a beaver-fur body.
"That birdwhistle was really hard to find," Evilsizer said. "It's really neat to see it now, here."
The museum staff does not want to display interesting artifacts without providing information about the lives and cultures of the people who used them, Johnson said. The staff's goal is to create a background for the artifacts through research, called recontextualization, he said.
"We want to share with them the meaning of artifacts from the context in which they were taken," he said. "As an anthropology museum, we think it's very important to provide our visitors with context."

Volunteers have a bone to pick
KU museum cleans, assembles dinosaur
By Susie Gura
sgura@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The "Do Not Touch" sign inside the Natural History Museum does not apply to volunteers who are willing to help clean and prepare dinosaur bones.
About 50 volunteers, along with museum paleontologists, have been working since October on the cleaning and reconstruction of skeletons of an adult and a baby Camararsaurus dinosaur, which were found together last summer in Wyoming. But the museum needs more outside assistance because of the enormity of the project, said Larry
Martin, senior curator at the museum.
"We are still seeking more volunteers," Martin said. "The project could take many thousands of hours."
Martin said that the museum's paleontologists could not complete the project on their own.
Orientation sessions are conducted from 9 to 11 a.m. each Saturday at the museum to acclimate volunteers to the dinosaurs.
"We tell them about the process and then bring out some bones to show herm," said T.J. Meehan, graduate teaching assistant in biological sciences.
Following the orientation, volunteers may spend up to five hours during a lab using demolition and exacto knives to scrape and clean the rock and field glue from the bones. They also use glue to piece fractured bones back together.
"They build their skills slowly, and we
train them as they go along." Meehan said.
Volunteers are asked to make a regular commitment every week, he said.
"All we ask is that they have an interest in the work and a talent for it." he said.
Martin said that cleaning the dinosaur was a monumental process that could not be completed with the only staff members working on the project.
"Right now it is a little large for the museum, but we hope to find some place for it." Martin said.
The museum hopes to have the dinosaur completely prepared in 18 months,he said.
The dinosaur's name, Camararsasurus, means "chambered lizard," which refers to its hollow neck and vertebrae. It lived about 140 million years ago and when constructed, the adult will be more than 25 feet tall and 70 feet long.
Lawrence police shake down staff
By Ronnie Wachter
wachter@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The Lawrence police department is making some internal personnel changes, including the designation of a new public voice.
Sgt. George Wheeler moved yesterday from patrol officer to the position of Technical Services Sergeant, a job that includes releasing information to the media. Wheeler is one of eight officers who will adjust to new assignments and changes within the department this week.
The Technical Services Sergeant is one of the most prominent positions on the supervisory staff, said Sgt. Susan Hadi, who held the job until Friday.
"The Technical Services Sergeant is in charge of purchasing for the department, records, front office personnel, overseeing the evidence room and of course, handling the media," she said.
"The Chief will move some of the supervisors around to keep things fresh," Wheeler said. "Some more changes will be coming in a few weeks."
Wheeler said that Lawrence Police Chief Ron Olin initiated the changes because he wanted to rotate the department's supervisory staff.
"There are many different tasks for the supervisory staff," Olin said. "In an effort to get a very balanced staff, we rotate officers
Olin said that the supervisory staff consisted of the department's sergeants and lieutenants.
frequently.
"Three officers came into the administration from patrol, three officers left administration to go to patrol, and two of our patrol sergeants changed into new shifts," he said.
Hadl, who occupied the Technical Services position for two and a half years, was one of the officers transferred back to field duty as a patrol officer Monday.
"I walked out to the parking lot," Hadl said, "and my car had a flat tire."
Hadl said that her return to the field went well, despite the flat tire.
"It's been a little different, getting adjusted to all the gear again, but I'm enjoying being back," she said. "I'm trying to tour around the city, and get back up to speed on what's happening out there."

Diners say 'Hola' again to Amigos
By Graham K. Johnson gjohnson@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
An old amigo is back. A latenight favorite of students in the early 1990s, Amigos has teamed up with A & W Restaurants to spice up fast food offerings in Lawrence.
Amigos, a fast-food Mexican chain based in Lincoln, Neb., reopened Feb. 20 at 701 W. 23rd St. after a two-year absence from Lawrence. The new store is a drive-through only establishment that also serves A & W restaurant food. Amigos left Lawrence in 1995 because of company restructuring.
Jim Speicher, Omaha, Neb,
senior, is glad to have Amigos back
in town for late-night taco runs.
"Iused to go into Amigos all the time after having gone out drinking," Speicher said. "Their tacos always tasted good after a few tall, cold ones."
Speicher now will be able to get tacos late everyday. Amigos/A & W is open 11 a.m. to 3 a.m. weekdays and 11 a.m. to 4 a.m. on weekends.
Chris Konecny, Derby senior, said he stopped by the new store as soon as he noticed it.

Amigos has been selling more than tacos to nostalgia seekers.

"We've had quite a few costumers
ordering off of both menus," Holscher said. "We're selling a lot of root beer."
Caitlin Storhaug, representative for the National Restaurant Association in Washington D.C., said dual branding, or two different restaurants in the same building, has become a national trend in the restaurant industry.
Konecny the dual-branded Amigos/A & W was useful.
"It's a lot more convenient." Konecyna said. "It's more of a benefit if there's more than one person in the car with different ideas about what to eat."
Discussion examines cultural impacts of college theme parties
By Carl Kaminski
ckaminski@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
More than 200 students packed the Big 12 Room of the Kansas Union last night to discuss the cultural impact of party themes.
Bill Nelson, coordinator for Greek programs, moderated the discussion. He said that he did not want to make anyone uncomfortable by focusing on past events but that he did want to challenge the Greek community.
"In my experience, to be a little bit uncomfortable, to be stretched a little bit, to be challenged a little bit is probably the time when the greatest learning can happen," he said.
The discussion centered on questions posed to a seven-member panel of students, staff and faculty. Panelists then addressed questions from the crowd.
Cory Littlepage, student panelist and Interfraternity Council president, said the issue was being overanalyzed.
"My main concern is not with the title but more about the safety of the parties." he said.
Littlepage, Tulaa, Okla., junior,
said that other living organizations
such as residence halls held them
parties and that he did not understand why the discussion centered on fraternities.
"The social aspect is a big part of college life, and you can't deny that," he said.
Panelist Pat Mazumdar, Pittsburgh, Penn., graduate student, said fraternities should not stop having parties, but they should think about the reason for them.
Dion Jones, St. Croix, Virgin Islands, junior and member of lota Phi Theta, said theme parties were not an issue for him.
"I don't know too many brothers that are going to put on a dress, or a grass skirt," he said.
Jones said that traditionally African-American Greek organizations like his held events that celebrate their own culture. He said, however, that the Greek community has been getting a bad rap.
"The Greek system is bending its back to please the non-greek community," he said. "The non-greek community needs to meet us halfway."
The discussion, a part of a monthly series called Diversity Dialogue, was put on by the KU Coalition Against Racism and Discrimination, Greeks for Responsible Education Enhancing Cultural Sensitivity and the Multicultural Resource Center.

Students need focus to avoid burnout
By Katie Burford Special to the Konson
From the back of a dimly lit room, you hear a metered voice speaking softly, soothingly: close your eyes, breath deeply and relax. Look inside your mind. Let go of the past and the things you have to do. Focus on right now.
This is an exercise that Michael Yellow Bird, assistant professor of Social Welfare, uses to prevent burnout. Yellow Bird said that focusing helped remove the burden of accumulated stress. It refreshes and revitalizes, he said.
Burnout refers to an emotional
exnaustion that results from mental stress. Students and others have experienced it.
Yellow Bird suggested that when his students returned home from work or school, they should have a special place to go and sit on a pillow. In this place, students should breathe deeply and think about letting go of the residual stress of the day.
A vacation or a "mental health day" sometimes is enough to get back on track, but not always.

Recovering from burnout can be especially difficult for doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, social workers and
"When you are witnessing tragic problems everyday, the reality of it can get to you," said Alice Lieberman, associate professor of social welfare.
Kathie Van Saun, an employee in the University's social welfare practicum office, said that individuals who entered helping professions usually did so because they aspired to make other individuals' lives better.
Van Saun was a social work student but recently applied to the School of Architecture. She said that those involved with social work had to help others out of passion because the money was not enough compensation.

Stages:
Feeling as if there is generally not

Are you sick of eating this?
We've got some suggestions to help you eat better
by gerry doyle ● gdoyle@kansan.com
At home with their parents and in the residence halls, students' food needs are well cared for. No time must be spent cooking, no groceries must be bought (except beer) and no special provisions must be made for keeping food fresh (except beer).
But when the well-fed student moves from the residence hall to the harsh reality of life in an apartment or house, culinary habits change.
From shooting deer to stir fry, there are many different approaches to putting together a healthy inexpensive meal.
Some students get recipes from their parents to try on their own. James Dix, Chicago junior, has a recipe book his mother put together for use in his new house. Dix said it had useful instructions for mixing vegetables and meat, but that some of the recipes in the book just took too long for a harried college student to prepare.
"One of them was for barbecued brisket," he said.
"The recipe had two parts—one marked 'first day' and one marked 'second day.' I don't think James will be making that one."
Hunting down a useful animal to use as food might not be as convenient as going to the store and hunting down a pound of hamburger, but the meat is better, said Paul Vankirk. Louisburg senior.
Some people prefer to kill their food.
He said he thought the healthy lifestyle of the deer could transfer to the person who ate it.
Vankirk said he liked to do whatever took the least time and filled him up. From the stove to the frying pan, convenience was the key, he said.
"Spice packets, man," he said. "I just want something that tastes good and doesn't take a lot of time. Chili and spaghetti are easy, and I use venison for that stuff, too. It's supposedly better for you than beef."
While easy and cheap are good characteristics of a college student's meal, good nutrition should not be sacrificed, said Ann Chapman, registered dietician at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
As students move from the home to college and from residence halls to private housing, nutrition usually suffers, Chapman said. The lack of guidance when preparing food can lead to meals that leave a lot to be desired.
"I think they tend to eat less healthily because their parents prepare more balanced meals for them," she said. "They're not being forced to eat their veggies anymore."
Students should try to eat something from every level of the food pyramid with every meal, she said. This means basing a meal around grain, adding veggies, cheese and a little meat.

For students who are unable to improvise well, there are numerous cookbooks available to walk would-be Julia Childs through meal preparation.
Bearing titles like *The Starving Students' Cookbook: Recipes* so simple you can't screw them up and Help!

The secrets of frying pans, spatulas and even toaster ovens are revealed in print.
"Have you ever burned your hand making popsicles?" the Starving Students' Cookbook asks. "Do you think Al Dente invented spaghetti?"
While these cookbooks and others offer ways for students to avoid starvation while living on their own, there are a few questions better left unanswered to hungry - and thirsty - Jayhawks.

Pita pizza
Quick cole slaw
Everyone loves pizza, right? Well, it's not that hard to make. With a simple recipe, you can construct your own Starving Jayhawk in the (relative) comfort of your own kitchen.
Step one: Beat the egg in a bowl large enough to accommodate a slice of bread.
You need:
1 whole pita bread (6 inches in diameter)
4-6 tablespoons of pizza sauce (or you can mix tomato sauce with 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon dried basil, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder)

1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
Preheat broiler, making sure rack is in top position
Step one: Slice the pita bread around the circumference, making two equal discs.

Step two: Broil the pizzas for about 1 minute.
1 1/2 tablespoons corn oil
2 slices bread (stale is better, for once)
So you buy a whole loaf of bread. You eat it at your own pace, a sandwich here, toast and jelly there. Then one day, you take out a piece, and it feels funny. Hard. Stale. DON'T THROW IT AWAY (unless it's green)! Just eat it!
Students love barbecues. And what's barbecue without cole slaw? Here's how to make your own.

LaFrentz named top dog of Big 12; Pierce receives second-highest votes
By Tommy Gallagher
Kansan sportswriter
For the second consecutive season, Kansas forward Raef LaFrentz has been named the Big 12 Conference Player of the Year.
LaFrentz said after yesterday's announcement that he deserved the honor despite the fact that he missed six conference games and nine overall with a broken right hand.
"I'm flattered and honored, and I think I deserve it," LaFrentz told The Associated Press. "But I wasn't expecting to be the Big 12 player of the year. There are several deserving players, and I thought voters would probably take into account the absence in conference games."
LaFrentz received 16 votes, followed by teammate Paul Pierce with four, Texas Tech guard Cory Carr with three and Oklahoma guard Corey Brewer with one. The voting was done by a 24-member media panel.
Pierce said last week that he would be disappointed if he lost in the voting but that he would be supportive of LaFrentz.
"I'd be upset if I'm not the player of the year," Pierce said. "That's one of the goals I had at the start of the season, but that is not for me to decide. But yeah, I would be happy if Raef gets it."
LaFrentz, who averages 20.4 points and 11.4 rebounds per game, could make history if he maintains his current pace during the postseason.
He could become the first Jayhawk since Wilt Chamberlain in 1957-58 to average more than 20
points and 10 rebounds. And no Jayhawk has averaged a double-double in 27 years.
LaFrentz is the No. 2 scorer in Kansas history, and he trails Danny Manning by just 69 for the rebounding record.
But he already is in the Kansas record book. LaFrentz was part of a senior class that finished 58-0 in Allen Field House in its four-year career. The Jayhawks now have a 60-game, home-court winning streak, the longest in the nation.
Despite the team's success, LaFrentz said this season had been difficult for him.
"It's been a challenging season mentally and physically, fighting through the injury," LaFrentz said. "There was a lot of adversity personally. It's been a tough year, but it's also been a lot of fun."
- Iowa State forward Marcus Fizer won the Big 12 Freshman of the Year, drawing 17 votes. Texas' Chris Mihm gathered six votes, and his teammate Luke Axtell received one.
Fizer averaged 15 points and nearly seven rebounds per game for the Cyclones this season. He became the first McDonald's All-American to ever play at Iowa State.
Oklahoma State guard Doug Gottlieb was named the Big 12 Newcomer of the Year in a close race. He received eight votes, followed by six each for Fizer and Kenny Price of Colorado.
Others receiving votes included Axtell, Lester Earl of Kansas and Michael Johnson of Oklahoma.
Gottlieb helped the Cowboys improve from a dismal 15-loss season last year to a 21-5 mark and a top 25 ranking this year.
Creighton throws Jayhawks a nasty curve
By John Blakely Wilson
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas baseball team's bats cooled off against Creighton yesterday.
After averaging more than 10 runs per game last weekend at Oklahoma State, the Jayhawks lost 7-4 at Hoglund-Maupin Stadium.
Creighton pitcher Brian Matzenbacher, who came into the game with a 13.50 earned run average, shut down Kansas (4-6), and allowed just two runs in seven innings while picking up his first win of the season.
Kansas head coach Bobby Randall said his team had been overconfident early in the game after beating the traditionally powerful Cowboys.
"We came in thinking. 'We won in Still
water, so now we could just show up and beat anybody." Randall said. "We made miscues and errors in the first couple of innings. I'm not pleased about the game."
Chad Shuster started for the Jayhawks, allowing five runs in four innings. Creighton (5-5) scored three times in the first inning off Shuster and an unprepared Kansas team.
"Pregame preparation is the biggest thing for a young team like ours," Randall said. "I fault myself today because I didn't pay enough attention before the game."
Two usually prolific hitters, second baseman Andy Juday and catcher Josh Dimmick, each had just one hit in four at bats.
"We were just timid early, we made mistakes and got down on ourselves," Dimmick said. "I can't really blame the younger players because our experienced players didn't do anything until late in the game either."
The Jayhawks trailed 7-1 going into the bottom of the eighth inning, but then their bats came alive. Dimmick slammed a two-run single and Andy Juday scored from third on a balk.
"We took control of the game in the last three innings, but by then it was too late," Randall said.
Freshman shortstop John Nelson pounded three hits to raise his batting average to .355.
son said. "I just kept pushing myself and I hit the ball hard today."
After Kansas scored three runs in the eighth, Creighton inserted Drue Council, who struck out three batters in two innings and did not allow a run.
"I fight harder when we get behind," Nelner of last night's Baylor-Kansas State game.
Pitcher Eric Bettis was a bright spot for Kansas, allowing just one run in three innings.
"Bettis has good arm action and movement on the ball," catcher Josh Dimmick said. "He made batters swing at his pitches today."
Kansas must regroup against Hastings College at 3 p.m. today at Hoglund-Maupin Stadium. The game will be broadcast on KJHK 90.7.

environment." Washington said.
"The four of us need to make sure that everyone is focused for every game, Raymant said. "Each game is important. If we lose, we're out."
Kansas, 19-7 overall and 11-5 in Big 12 play, can expect a pressing, tenacious defense and a whole-hearted effort from whichever team they face, Washington said.
"This kind of tournament is an endurance race." Washington said. "To play three straight games is very challenging, especially if you don't have a deen team."
Washington said that the first- round bye was helpful to her young team in the do-or-die format of the conference tournament.

"This kind of tournament is an endurance race. To play three straight games is very challenging, especially if you don't have a deep team."
"Both teams gave us problems with their press, and we are working in practice on handling it better," Washington said. "Right now we are going to focus on our own defense and then fine tune our preparation when we find out who we face."
Women's head basketball coach
Washington said the Jayhawks would not be satisfied with less than a tournament championship.
"We've got to keep shooting for high goals," Washington said. "If we do that, hopefully we can put ourselves in the position to have a shot at winning the title."

Psychic knee aches in March basketball's time for madness
It's funny how it happens
But that twinge which always seems to coincide with the arrival of March soon
becomes a growing noticeable pain
At first, it is only a twinge - a slight discomfort that leaves me with a bit of a limp.
Every year, just as the waning days of winter begin to roll into those breezy spring afternoons, mybum left knee starts to act up.
It gets worse.
Today, the ache is almost unbearable. I hobbled as I attempted to walk up the stairs behind Wescoe Hall.
YOU WERE BORN IN THE U.S. ABOVE 18 AND BECOMED A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
By this weekend, my bum joint will be nothing more than a swollen, throbbing nub of basketball love.
Harley

sports@kansan.com
I know what it means.
I know what my knee is trying to tell me. I know what it means.
Any class.
Trust me: The madness is here, and I'm heading home.
All class.
March Madness — better known on campuses across the nation as the allinclusive excuse to miss class.
Like an old man who can predict an oncoming storm with the crick in his neck, my knee is as accurate a basketball weather vane as you'll find.
It is the one time of year that serious students and slackers alike can and will drop everything to catch Duke pummei Radford — at 11:30 on a Thursday morning.
Students will flock from the world of academia to spend the day with basketball professors Pat O'Brien, Billy Packer and Jim Nantz.
Not to mention a case of Corona.
They will drop their books on the spot to make sure they don't miss that last-second shot or incredible miracle upset.
"Attendance is terrible on the Thursdays and Fridays of the tournament," Paul Johnson, my political science professor, told me. "I think that the student has to decide whether there is any risk to their grade."
Most of us think about that risk.
Then we all head to the nearest sports bar.
Some things just don't stop for school. And the NCAA tournament happens to be one of those things. Either you take advantage now, or you miss out until next season.
I've often missed some of the tournament's most memorable moments while in class. My freshman year at Kansas, I missed Princeton's stunning victory against defending champions UCLA.
The reason. I was taking a biology test.
Did I regret missing the Tigers make his tort? You getcha.
Did I pass the test? Hell no.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not advocating delinquency. I just think that you should do what your conscience tells you.
If that means missing that Biology lab to get your roundball fix, so be it.
Now of course, I won't be missing class because of the NCAA tournament.
School is too important, and my grades are too critical.
With midterms coming up, I need all the information that I can get my grubby little hands on.
But should Professor Johnson wonder why I wasn't diligently scribbling down notes at his 11 a.m. Thursday lecture, I will tell him the truth.
I was at home studying histograms and icing down that crazy, psychic, trick knee of mine.
When your hum knee acts up, you have make sure it gets plenty of rest.
And maybe, just maybe, I'll turn on one of those basketball games.
It's funny how that happens.

Haase takes new shot at NBA
Former Jayhawk returns after stint in Macedonia
By Jason Pearce
Kansan sportswriter
Tenacious effort, hard-nosed defense and all-out hustle were what Jerod Haase brought to the Kansas men's basketball team last year.
This season, after playing professional basketball in Macedonia and trying out for NBA teams, he brought his book "Floor Burns" to tables in the Allen Field House lobby.
He dished out smiles, small talk and autographs for his book to fans at home games throughout the season.
The book, co-authored by Mark Horvath, describes Haase's senior year as a Jayhawk. Haase has spent much of the past year promoting and signing his book.
Haase said that although "Floor Burns" gave him the luxury of not working a full-time job, he still was ready for a change.
"After the new year, I changed my focus from the book to getting in shape so I can play
again, " Haase said

In fact,
Haase has been preparing
for another try at his ultimate goal:
the NBA.
"I want to chase a dream one more time." Haase said.
Hease:Wants to try for NBA dream again this summer
Haase said that he wanted to try out with NBA teams again this summer at various rookie camps. He has been preparing by practicing with the Jayhawks, lifting weights four times a week and playing in numerous pickup games.
Haase described his first year away from the Jayhawks as bittersweet.
"It was nice to see the guys and practice with them, but it was not the same as being on the team," Haase said. "This is the first time in my life where I am not on a team. I have taken that for granted."
After graduating last spring, Haase underwent surgery on his shooting hand, which was broken during his senior season. He
Late in the summer, Haase tried out as a free agent for the Chicago Bulls and the Vancouver Grizzlies at their rookie camps, but was overlooked again.
entered the NBA draft but was not chosen.
Haase packed his bags and left for Macedonia, the former Yugoslavia, where he played for the country's professional basketball league in the city of Velice.
Haase played point guard there for two and a half months before leaving the team because of disputes between him and the coach.
"I wasn't a big fan of the coach and how he treated the players," Haase said.
In addition to promoting the book and preparing for the NBA, Haase is organizing a summer basketball camp for 8- to 18-year-olds throughout Kansas. So far, he has confirmed 15 dates in cities such as Kansas City, Salina and Arkansas City.
if he doesn't play basketball, Haase said he could see himself coaching, working for a business or further his education.
"This is the first time in my life where I make all of my decisions," Haase said.
Wooden Award lists Kansas duo in nominations
Kansas forwards Raef LaFrentz and Paul Pierce are among the 15 finalists named for the Wooden Award, considered college basketball's most prestigious player of the year honor.

Injured players may have to skip Big 12 tourney
Kansan sportswriter
With the Big 12 Conference Tournament starting tomorrow at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo., coaches from the region have expressed concern about missing players because of injury or suspension.
By Tommy Gallagher
tgallagher@kansan.com
Heading the list is Kansas State coach Tom Asbury, who has not said whether forward Manny Dies will play in the tournament.
Manhattan police arrested Dies Feb. 22 for suspicion of possessing marijuana, drug paraphernalia, transporting an open container of alcohol and obstruction of the legal process. He was released on $1,500 bond, and some of the charges have been dropped.
Asbury wouldn't say whether Dies would play in the tournament, in which the Wildcats may need an impressive showing to earn an NCAA Tournament berth.
"I'm not going to talk about that," Asbury said.
Clack, who averaged 17.6 points, led the Longhorns in scoring, assists, steals and minutes played during the regular season. The Longhorns will play Texas Tech on Thursday in the first round.
@ACCR 1997
Texas, 12-16, probably will be without second team AllBig 12 guard Kris Clack for the tournament because he suffered a dislocated right shoulder in practice Sunday.
"I've got a tee time Friday at noon," Penders said, half-jokingly. "There's a lot of great players in the Big 12, and he's certainly one of the better ones. He does so much for us that it's hard to imagine what it would be like playing without him. For us to lose him would be like Texas Tech without Cory Carr, or Oklahoma without Corey Brewer," he said.
Texas coach Tom Penders said that because of Clack's injury, he had lost some hope about the Longhorns' chances in the Big 12 Tournament.
Texas guard Luke Axell has a back injury and is listed as probable for the tournament, but guard DeJuan Vazquez has a severe arm bruise and is listed as questionable.
Oklahoma State, the Big 12 South champions, have some concern about guard Desmond Mason, who sprained an ankle in practice Thursday. Mason reg aggravated that injury in the first half of the game against Kansas on Sunday. He played just 16 minutes and finished with four points, two rebounds and two assists.
Oklahoma coach Eddie Sutton said that Mason should be ready when the Cowboys play either Texas or Texas Tech on Friday.
"Mason was kneeed by T.J. Pugh in first half, and that aggravated his leg," Sutton said. "But we checked it with our doctors, and they said to keep him out of practice for a day or two and he would be able to play by Friday."
Texas Tech hoping for a little luck in KC
The Associated Press
LUBBOCK, Texas — Coming off the most miserable home game in school history, the slumping Texas Tech Red Raiders admit they have much to prove this week at the Big 12 Conference tournament.
"We can't go out feeling sorry that it's been a disappointing season," center Johnny Phillips said. "We need to try to make amends as far as right now."
The Red Raiders (13,13,6,9) flew to Kansas City yesterday to revisit the Big 12 tournament, where their string of bad luck began this time last year.
F
In the first round Thursday night, Tech plays fellow regular-season disappointment (Tesla) 12-16, 6-10), which swept the season series.
"We are going to go up there with an optimistic attitude and the attitude of 'Who knows?' "guard Stan Bonewitz said. "Maybe we could sneak a couple here and there and end up in the finals and ... you never know."
It was during a second-round Big 12 tournament game last that Tech learned two players were academically ineligible. The school removed itself from NCAA Tournament consideration a day later.
Center Tony Battie dealt the next blow by taking his superstar skills to the NBA instead of returning for his senior season. That left senior guard Cory Carr, the Big 12's leading scorer for the second straight season, to lead a small, youthful lineup.
It's been a stunning downturn for the Tech program — from a Sweet 16 team two years ago to a squad that probably won't win 17 games for the first time since coach James Dickey's first season in 1900
Hobbled by a sore right ankle, even Carr couldn't stop Oklahoma from beating Tech 89-56 last Saturday in the Raiders' home finale. It was Tech's worst loss ever at Lubbock Municipal Coliseum.
"It's that elusive word: chemistry," Dickey said.
"We are going to try to mix up some potion between now and Thursday night to get it going."
"We'll be better with a healthy Cory Carr," Dickey said.
Since blowing out lowly Texas A&M 102-75 on Feb. 7, Tech has been outscored by an average of 85-75 in its last six games, losing five of them.
Two of the losses were in overtime to Colorado and Oklahoma State. Those losses seemed to weaken them as they allowed the Sooners to score the game's last 14 points, including three breakaway dunks.
"I hope that we can find some emotion going into Kansas City, some enthusiasm for the Big 12 tournament," Dickey said. "The question that many of you have asked, I've asked myself: What's it going to take?"

The Longhorns (12-15), the seventh seed, shot only 42 percent from the field in the second half and got no closer than 11 points.
Alexander scored mostly from the inside, including four three-point plays, while Sharpe was 7-for-10 from the field with two three-point shots.
Angela Jackson led Texas with 23 points before foul out.
The Aggies dominated the boards and outrebounded the Longhorns 46-29.

The Buffaloes (12-15 overall, 6-11 Big 12) will play sixth-ranked Texas Tech in the second round Wednesday.
Colorado opened up a 10-9 lead and never trailed, though the Buffaloes spent much of the game fighting off Oklahoma rallies.
Oklahoma threatened late in the game with a 6-0 run, but the rally was stopped when Graham hit a 10-foot fall-away jumper with 1:30 left.
Oklahoma (8-19, 4-13) was led by Jaime Anderson's 18 points. Roxanne Long added 17 and Phylesha Whaley 16.

Huskies take bite out of Rutgers
Connecticut women capture fifth straight Big East Tournament

mates on the sidelines and exchanged hugs and tears.
No. 3 Connecticut captured its fifth consecutive Big East Tournament and its 10th straight NCAA Tournament berth by playing as a team in Sales' absence to beat Rutgers 67-58 last night.
The injured Sales watched from the stands and even changed her red T-shirt to a white one when the Huskies (31-2) fell behind by four points at halftime. But when the final buzzer sounded, Connecticut's all-time leading scorer joined team-
Despite losing at home for the first time in 13 games, Rutgers (20-9) is expected to get an at-large berth to the NCAA Tournament, its first since 1994 and since C. Vivian Stringer became coach three years ago.
All five Connecticut starters scored in double figures. Amy Duran had 17, Rita Williams 16, Svetlana Abrosimova 13, Paige Sauer 11 and Stacy Hansmeyer 10. Sauer also had 14 rebounds.
Natasha Pointer had 19 points and Linda Miles 13 for Rutgers, which hit 11-of-34 shots from the field in the second half. Connecticut was 13 of 24.
This title didn't come easy for Connecticut, which was considered vulnerable after Sales ruptured her Achilles tendon 10 days ago.

gers' team that beat Connecticut here a month ago with Sales in the lineup.
The difference in this game was that Connecticut was able to
find open shots in the second half and it controlled the boards, 44-25 for the game. The Huskies also contested every Rutgers shot
The big run for Connecticut came early in the second half after Miles hit a baseline jumper for a 34-31 Rutgers' lead. The Huskies responded with a 12-2 run that featured points from four players, led by Abrosimova. The talented Russian freshman had a 3-pointer and a jumper, the latter giving Connecticut a 43-36 lead with 11:59 to go.
Rowdy Quakers push Tigers in Princeton overtime win
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — With No. 8 Princeton winning games by an average of 16.2 points, coach Bill Carmody didn't mind a test in the Tigers' last game before the NCAA tournament.
"I didn't want a final examination," he said after Princeton survived a scare from Ivy League rival Penn with a 78-72 overtime win last night.
The Tigers (26-1, 14-0), playing their first overtime game this season, needed 33 points from Steve Goodrich and solid foul shooting to beat Penn. The win was Princeton's 19th straight since losing to North Carolina in December.
The team's 26 wins breaks a school record set by the 1966-67 Tigers.
Princeton already had secured the league title and a bid to the NCAA tournament with Saturday's win against Cornell. And the Tigers said last night's close call couldn't hurt in the long run.
"It would have been nice to win the game in regulation, but we haven't been in this situation all year," said Gabe Lewullis. "Come tourney time.
we're going to meet these situations every game. I don't think this game is going to hurt us at all."
After being outshot 56 percent to 42 percent in the second half, Princeton outscored Penn 12-6 in overtime. Penn made just two baskets and the Tigers went 8-for-15 from the line in overtime.
Carmody is 28-0 in the Ivy League since being promoted to head coach last season. Penn (17-12, 10-4) has lost five straight to the Tigers.
Lewuill is scored 18 points and made many of Princeton's big shots down the stretch. He made a jump shot to give the Tigers a one-point lead with one minute left in regulation and made a layup and foul shot to give Princeton a four-point cushion in overtime.
Paul Romancuzk had 22 points and nine rebounds for the Quakers. Michael Jordan scored 14 points, and George Mboya tied a career high with 10 points.
Although Princeton led by 18 late in the first half, the Tigers trailed 64 62 in the second half.
"Usually, our lead doesn't evaporate like that." Goodrick said.

NCAA Countdown
San Francisco program revived, revisits tourney
The Associated Press
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Once, it was the most respected college basketball program in the nation. Then it became an example of all that was wrong with college sports.
Now, for the first time since 1982, San Francisco is back in the NCAA tournament.
The Dons won the West Coast Conference tournament and an NCAA bid Monday night with an 80-67 victory against Gonzaga. As fans danced around USF's players after the game, they summed up their excitement in two words: "We're back!"
"It was a long 16 years, but this is something that these kids, the university and the city of San Francisco deserves," Dons coach Phil Mathews said. "We're going back to the NCAAs, where we belong."
Traveling to the NCAA tourna
ment used to be expected at USF, which made 14 appearances through 1982. Included in that total were back-to-back national championships as Bill Russell and K.C. Jones led the Dons to 60 consecutive wins in 1954-56.
The 1954-55 team had a 28-1 record and the 1955-56 team went 29-0. By the time the streak ended with a loss at Illinois in the 1956-57 season, the Dons had set a mark that has been topped only by UCLA's 88 consecutive wins in the early 1970s.
But after losing to Boston College in the first round of the 1982 NCAA tournament, the Jesuit school shut down its basketball program amid recruiting violations, alumni payments to players and All-America guard Quintin Dailey's sexual assault of a nursing student.
The program was revived in the 1985-86 season, but the Dons were losers for most of the next decade. Since Mathews
was named coach in 1995, USF has had three consecutive winning seasons.
On Monday, with freshman Ra'oof Sadat scoring a career-high 18 points while filling in for star Hakeem Ward, the Dons (19-10) won the WCC tournament for the first time.
"We knew this game meant a lot for the program," Ward said. "This is a dream come true for me. I'm happy we all came together for this game."
The Dons will enter the NCAA tournament with a six-game winning streak that began after Mathews berated his team late in the season. USF had lost four of five games when the coach unloaded on his players in an explosive meeting before a game against Loyola Marymount.
"I asked, 'How many of you guys have lost consistently?' And none of them raised their hands," Mathews said. "I challenged them and made some lineup changes and we haven't lost since."
All quiet on the Knight front
Big Ten tournament to begin Thursday for lagging Hoosiers
The Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — Bob Knight has never liked the idea of a Big 10 Conference tournament. Now it may be the only way Indiana gets into the NCAA tournament.
While the Big Ten is considering possible sanctions against Knight for his harsh criticism of officiating last week, the Indiana coach is going about his routine leading to the Hoosiers' tournament opener against Ohio State on Thursday night.
The Big Ten on Monday began considering disciplinary action, which could include a one-game suspension for Knight.
Gregg Elkin, Indiana basketball sports information director, said yesterday that the university had not heard from the conference and that he would not speculate whether Knight would appeal an unfavorable ruling.
Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany said that the investigation could take three days, a timeline that coincides with the start of the conference tournament in Chicago.
Indiana (18-10) ended the regular season with three losses — all by double-digit margins. The last time the Hoosiers lost three in a row at by at least 10 points was in 1985 — the last time they did not make the NCAA tournament.
Indiana is seeded sixth for the conference tournament. If the Hoosiers beat 11th-seeded Ohio State on Thursday, they will face Purdue on Friday. Unless Indiana wins the tournament and gets the conference's automatic bid, the
Hooiesl's play in Chicago could determine whether they get an at-large invitation.
1
"I have never really paid much attention to the selection process, whether we've been in it, out of it, close to being in it, or anything," Knight said. "I have never thought about that."
The three losses were at Michigan and Iowa and at home against Illinois. Knight received three technical fouls and was ejected from the game. He called referee Ted Valentine's officiating the greatest travesty he had seen as a college basketball coach.
Knight: Basketball is business as usual for Indiana coach

Obviously, I haven't seen all of the 338 games during your marvelous career at Kansas, but I've seen a bunch. Between one-third and one-half, I reckon. And I can't recall ever seeing you act the way you have this year.
60th Anniversary
BIRTHDAY BONUS ACTIVITIES
1908 - 1909
Your team isn't losing. Just the opposite. You have one of the best teams in the country again; you're a legitimate Final Four threat. You're 30.3. Larry Brown probably won't win that many all year, and his team plays 82 games.
You've never yelled at your players as much as you have this year, screaming at them loudly enough to be heard over the crowd and getting into their faces during timeouts. And it's every game.
Too much intensity may be spoiling Roy
Commentary
By Pete Goering The Associated Press
I'm writing this because, to be perfectly honest,
I'm kind of worried about you. You don't look like
you're having any fun. What's more, you don't act
like it.
I thought about addressing this "Dear Roy," seeing as how 1) I've known you for 10 years; 2) I'm older than you by a couple of years; and 3) I'm not a recruit, but ... oh, never mind; let me get to the point.
In fact, you remain as cordial and accommodating off the floor as you were 10 years ago. And I know you've given your team more time off than maybe ever, so obviously your quest for that national championship hasn't deteriorated into an obsession.
Dear Coach:
Tony Barone isn't having fun. I don't think Tim Floyd is, either. But they have a reason. It's no fun coaching a losing team.
It's not just me. Others have noticed the difference.
Basketball player hits coach
It kind of reminds me of Bob Knight.
I know you respect him, but until this year the only comparison was coaching success...
Maybe you've changed your demeanor on purpose. Maybe you feel an in-your-face coaching style is what it takes to motivate this team, which I'm sure you think is immeasurably more talented than either of your Final Four teams.
If it works—and it is—great. Keep it up.
But remember, you're the one who always preaches "enjoy the journey." Are you?
It'd be easy to assume that the pressure of not winning a national championship is getting to you. I don't buy that. If that were the case, you'd be just as intense off the floor. And you're not.
That was the day after you stormed across the court to accost that ESPN cameraman and then later you pulled out the camera cable to get the guy away from C.B. McGrath's postgame senior speech.
I realize visions of Paul or Raef tripping over that cameraman probably flashed through your mind, and I realize you are — and should be — totally protective of your players. But I'm somewhat baffled why you got so mad at CBS a month earlier when a halftime interview with Wilt Chamberlain briefly delayed the start of the second half.
Revocation of league title leads to fight at high school
Maybe you just don't like the way television dictates things anymore. In that case, my compliments and forget everything I've said.
Jack Hartman, another coach I know you respect, remarked the other day that you didn't appear to be having much fun.

James Porter McFarland, 22, entered his no contest plea Monday under an agreement with prosecutors. State District Judge Don Leonard scheduled sentencing for April 13.
The Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. — In an echo of the Latrell Sprewell episode, a basketball player on a top-tranked California high school team has been cited by police for attacking his coach.
The player accused the coach of striking him, and the coach was ordered from Fremont High School while Oakland school officials investigate, the Oakland Tribune reported yesterday.
The altercation between veteran coach Clint Williams and junior Larry Guess took place last week after the Fremont Tigers were ordered in a league hearing to forfeit 18 games and the district championship because of an ineligible player.
Boyd, 23, suffered a fractured skull and partial facial paralysis in the fight. Boyd and his parents have filed a lawsuit against the four. The civil court case is scheduled for trial in May.
Williams had benched Guess in a previous game, and the two exchanged words as they left a team meeting to discuss the punishment.
The fight left the coach with a scratched cornea. Guess was cited by Oakland police for attacking a school employee. Guess, who was cut on his cheek, accused Williams of punching him.
FORT WORTH, Texas — St. Louis Rams offensive lineman Ryan Tucker faces sentencing April 6 for his role in the 1996 beating of a student outside a bar in Fort Worth.
Fremont High just had clinched the Oakland Athletic League regular season championship when league officials called the hearing Thursday regarding the eligibility of a player.
Tucker is one of two former Texas Christian players who have pleaded no contest to a charge of aggravated assault in the May 1996 attack on Bryan Bovd.
Under terms of the plea agreement, the attorneys have agreed that McFarland should serve a five-year deferred sentence and pay a portion of the almost $10,000 in restitution agreed to in Tucker's plea last week.
Williams, 41, has led the Fremont High team to the California state final and two Northern California finals in the last three years.
The confrontation happened only miles from where Golden State Warriors star Lutrell Sprewell choked coach P.J. Carlesimo Dec. 1. Sprewell was suspended for a year, and the Warriors terminated the remaining three years of his four-year contract.
Jury selection was to begin yesterday in the trial of the other two players, William Justin Thompson, 23, and Jason Howard Davern. 24.
Rams player enters plea in assault case
The Associated Press
However, they disagree on whether McFarland, who now attends Stephen F. Austin State University, should serve any jail time for the assault.
NFL
Prosecutor David Montague wants McFarland and Tucker to serve 30 days in jail. Defense
Tucker's lawyer, Bill Magnussen, already has agreed that Tucker should serve a five-year deferred sentence, pay nearly $10,000 in restitution, and attend anger-control and substance-abuse counseling, but he argued that a jail stay could jeopardize his ability to play for the Rams.
Leonard has allowed Tucker to return to Missouri.
attorney Bill Lane said that he wanted McFarland to serve no jail time.

THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
E-mail helps suicidal student
Canadian leads police to Budig lab
ay Laura Roddy
loddy@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
(USPS 650-640)
A phone call from Canada Tuesday afternoon guided the University of Kansas police to a suicidal KU student in the Budig Hall computer lab.
A Canadian Internet user contacted the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, 336 Missouri St., after reading disturbing and suicidal comments that the KU student had written to her.
a crisis counselor from Bert Nash then contacted KU police, who responded at 3:10 p.m. and assisted the student in the computer lab.
After the student told police that he had been depressed and that he had thought about hanging himself last weekend, police took him to Lawrence Memorial Hospital. The student agreed to spend 48 hours in treatment for depression and suicidal tendencies.
Hollis Breedweg, development director for Bert Nash, said that the Canadian Internet user had been in a relationship with the KU student that no longer was mutual. The user was disturbed by what the student was writing to her and told the student that he needed counseling.
Bredeweg said the KU student told the user that he did not have access to a telephone in Budig. The student then gave the user the center's name and phone number.
Because the center's counselors do not personally go to the scene and intervene with a suicide situation, the center notified the KU police. Bredweer said.
"Often times, we'll work in cooperation with police," he said.
KU police Sgt. Chris Keary said the police department never had responded
to a call that originated on the Internet. However, the department has responded to similar situations with phone calls from other cities or states, he said.
Keary said the police respond to between eight and 10 calls each year for sulcidal persons. He said the number only included what was reported to police.
"We have to evaluate each situation," Keary said. "The important part is that they get some assistance."
That assistance can come from Watkins Memorial Health Center, Counseling and Psychological Services and Headquarters Counseling Center, as well as Bert Nash, Keary said.
Jim Kreider, a clinical social worker at Counseling and Psychological Services, said that suicidal feelings were not uncommon and that most people felt suicidal once or twice in their lives.
He said that suicidal individuals may talk about committing suicide, may isolate themselves from others, may increasingly use harmful substances or may make final arrangements.
"Not every depressed person is suicidal," Kreider said. "The majority of folks who are suicidal give a signal and what we need to do is not ignore them."
"Take them seriously," Kreider said. "It may just be talk, it may just be a passing thought, but it's better to err with caution."
Kreider also said friends should not hesitate to talk about their concerns with a potentially suicidal person.
"The approach we typically advocate is being straightforward," Kreider said. "Just put it on the table."
He said that in a crisis situation, concerned friends should not hesitate to call the police or a hotline.
Bert Nash operates a 24-hour crisis line at 843-9192. The center works with mental health out-patients, Bredeweg said.
"We want to provide resources to let them stay in the community and stay safe," he said. "The vast majority of people with mental health problems are dangerous to themselves and not others."
Headquarters also provides 24-hour support at 841-2345. The service is free and confidential.
Delta Force gets going at Granada

Kansan staff writer
The band Norman 360 kicked off the Delta Force coalition's Student Senate campaign last night at the Granada with about 120 people in attendance.
Speeches began after some coalition members who are now senators arrived at the club after last night's more than five-hour Senate meeting.
The coalition members were introduced after speeches by Matt Dunbar, student body vice-presidential candidate; Emily Heath, student body presidential candidate; and others. The evening continued with the bands Einstein and The Sugardaddies.

"We're hoping to get people excited about campaigning and Delta Force," Heath said. "We wanted to have it somewhere with a fun atmosphere so people would want to participate."
Laura Bennett, residential senatorial candidate, agreed the reason the coalition had the kick-off party at the Granada was to lighten the atmosphere of Student Senate elections.
"Part of the purpose of this little shindig is to show that the people of Delta Force are regular students," Bennett said. "It's also a way for students who don't know about Delta Force to meet the candidates on a more common level than at a Senate meeting."
One student was there for more than just the speeches.
"I'm here for the cool bands," said Brian Hanks, Olathe junior. "I also wanted to find out what Delta Force is all about."
Hanks said that the Granada was not what he thought of when people talked about Senate but that having the party there was a good idea.
seen some of that with this coalition, and it's kind of why I'm interested in it," Hanks said.
Lisa Meinen, Nunemaker senatorial candidate, said that change was one reason she joined the coalition.
"Senate is a profound body on campus, affecting our daily lives — from the amount of fees we paid to what activities are sponsored on campus," Meinen said. "I just want to be a part of it to help things move in a positive direction."
"I'm looking for a change in Senate. I've
The party was originally planned for Tuesday night, but the Granada changed the date and the group could not find another venue. Heath said.

Student Senate to review limits on committees
Kansan staff writer
Student Senate heard arguments last night to decrease the power of its committees in the legislative process.
Kelly Huffman, Student Executive Committee chairman, announced that he would evaluate the efficiency of Senate's committees in reviewing legislation.
Senate's five committees, University Affairs, Finance, Student Rights, Multicultural Affairs and Graduate Affairs, have the power to propose, approve and fail legislation. If committees pass a bill or a resolution, the legislation goes
to Senate for final approval.
Sullivan raised questions last night concerning the influence that committee decisions had on legislation.
"It seems that Student Senate ignores the decisions of the committees regarding legislation a lot of the time." Sullivan said.
However, that could change if Huffman and Scott Sullivan, student body president, find the committees to be ineffective in reviewing legislation.
Sullivan pointed out that, often, committees may amend or fail a bill. And a week later, the bill is brought off of the floor in Senate or simply reamended, effectively nullifying the committees' decitees powers. She said that it was important not to take away the representation of nonsenator committee members.
Sullivan said the committees should focus more on generating legislation rather than reviewing existing bills and resolutions.
Although he did not know what he might find, Huffman said such re-evaluations always were positive.
Huffman said that if he found that the committees' roles in hearing legislation was inefficient, he would work to develop a bill to change the system.
"Anything that we do deserves to be looked at once in awhile," he said.
Whitney Black, off-campus senator, said that she did not support the elimination of the committees powers. She said that it was important not to take away the representation of nonsenator committee members.
She said that if committees did not have the right to review legislation, the committees may be less attractive to prospective members.
"I don't see how taking away the power to approve legislation gives committees respect," she said.
In other business, Senate passed a bill to provide emergency funding for Headquarters Counseling Center. The bill called for an allocation of $5,935 from the Student Senate reserve account.

■ A bill to finance the Circle of Percus sive Sound's event, Rhythm Weavin.

Proposed bill could change hiring practices within Kansas
By Brandon Copley
bcopple @kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Powell, R-Wichita, has proposed legislation that would prohibit public employers from using race or gender preferences in hiring and employment practices. The bill, modeled after a California law, could have serious implications at the University of Kansas.
State Representative Anthony Powell wants to make Kansas a little more like California.
House Bill 2958
Maurice Bryan directs the Equal Opportunity Office, which handles discrimination complaints and helps plan strategy for recruitment and retention of minority students and faculty.
"If this bill were to pass, some could argue that any efforts to recruit minority student

- "The state shall not discriminate against or grant preferential treatment on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin"

■ House Committee on Federal and State Affairs
and faculty constitute preferential treatment," he said. "It certainly has a great risk of hampering what we do."
University officials also said minorities did not get jobs at the University unless they have the same qualifications as other candidates.
The risk, however, should be qualified. Bryan said the University did not use any form of racial quotas or preferences, and Powell said his bill would not necessarily affect recruitment.
"If the University doesn't make choices based on race, sex or national origin, then they won't have a problem," he said. "But if they're like most universities, they probably do some suspect things, especially in admissions."
"If we can't recruit, it could change the whole flavor of the University," he said.
Robert Page, assistant director of admissions, said the University did not use preferences in the admissions process, but he worried that the bill could be interpreted to prohibit recruitment of minority students.
"These are not preferences," she said. "We hire people based on the qualifications they bring to the position. If they happen to be minorities, that's great, but there are no token hires."
Erin Spiridigliozzi, assistant dean of liberal arts and sciences, said the college took a proactive approach to minority recruitment, encouraging departments to advertise job vacancies with publications and professional associations that reach minorities.
That strategy may work. Since 1990, onehalf of faculty hired by the college have been women or minorities.
The University of California at Berkeley continues to recruit minorities despite the anti-preference law, using many of the same practices in use at the University of Kansas.
Franchesca Rivera of the Berkeley admissions office said California universities still can advertise job openings in a way that reaches out to minorities and encourages their applications.
Actively recruiting minorities might be permissible under Powell's bill if California provides any measure of how Kansas would apply the law.
Rivera also said that affirmative action was the law at any institution that received federal funding.
"We're a federal contractor," she said.
"Federal law requires that we find areas where minorities are underutilized and try to fix it. So we still have affirmative action."
The University of Kansas is a federal contractor as well, so it will retain some vestige of affirmative action regardless of what the state Legislature does with Powell's bill.
The bill is sitting in a House committee, and Powell said he would not be surprised if no action on the bill were taken this year.
"I would argue that it's unnecessary because we don't discriminate through preferences, and we've already got laws against discrimination," Bryan said.

The Interfraternity Council and the Panhellenic Association presented the Spenser Museum of Art with a check for $250 yesterday in a ceremony on the fifth floor of the museum.
"It's something we felt lacks student involvement," said Libby Sigg, Panhellenic Association president and lola junior.
The money came from fund-raisers during Greek Week last fall, said Lung Huang, vice president of the council for public relations. Greek Week is a celebration the greek community holds annually. Fraternities and sororites participate in various activities, including community service projects and games.
"It's mainly a week to celebrate who we are," Sigg said.

Natural History Museum gets grant for bone recovery
The Natural History Museum will receive a $55,000 grant to be used in the recovery of two dinosaur skeletons found in Wyoming, said Leonard Kristalka, museum director.
The two dinosaurs are Camarasaurus, 140 million-year-old neck-pecked, planteating dinosaurs. Museum paleontologists have recovered the skeletons of two Camarasaurus, one a full grown adult and the other an infant.
This find is particularly special because if the two Camarasaurus are related, it will mark the first time a parent and child dinosaurs have been found together, said Bradley Kemp, public relations director.
The museum applied for the money to the Department of Travel and Tourism in the fall to ensure that it could return next summer and finish the excavation.
The museum hopes to put the two dinosaurs on display.
"We don't have enough space to exhibit it here in the museum," Kemp said.
"We're probably just a couple years away from being able to do that."

Army officer denies claims of sexual harassment
FORT BELVOIR, Va. — The Army's former top enlisted man became tense and combative under cross-examination at his sexual misconduct court-martial yesterday.
>gt. Maj. Gene McKinney jutured his chin in defiance as the prosecutor ridiculed his claim that he went to the hotel room of a female aide to fire her instead of to proposition her, as she claimed.
McKinney displayed flashes of anger during his second day on the stand, in marked contrast to his composed and confident manner under direct questioning by his own lawyer.
McKinney, suspended last year as sergeant major of the Army, denied the claims of his six accusers point-by-point and suggested two of them may have concocted their stories to seek revenge.
McKinney has said he is a victim of race bias
The case against McKinney, which started with sexual misconduct accusations 13 months ago, has been a source of great embarrassment for the Army. Last summer, an independent panel concluded that sexual harassment was widespread in the Army and that its leaders were to blame for letting it persist.
Indonesia protest favors economy, not president
JAKARTA, Indonesia—Thousands of banner-waving university students demanded President Suharto's ouster yesterday. It the largest display of anger yet involving the economic crisis that has Indonesia in an upheaval.
The protests came as the United States and other foreign lenders stepped up the pressure on Suharto to carry out reforms they consider crucial to rescuing the economy — reforms that could undercut much of Suharto's power and wealth.
"Hang Suhartol!" shouted protesters in the Java island city of Yogyakarta, circling their campus on scooters under the scrutiny of hundreds of police and plain-clothes officers.
Students also rallied in several other cities on Java as well as on Sulawesi, another of Indonesia's larger islands.
Five people have been killed in riots this year fighting rising food costs, but yesterday's rallies were peaceful.
Even as the students protested, delegates to a special assembly were preparing to extend Suharto's 32-year rule. Already Asia's longest-serving leader, the 76-year-old president is almost certain to get a seventh-five-year term next week.
NASA chose first female to pilot space shuttle
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Eileen Collins is about to become the first woman in 37 years of U.S. spaceflight to command a mission.
President Clinton and Hillary Rodham Clinton will announce the decision in a White House ceremony today.
The 42-year-old Air Force lieutenant colonel is already the nation's first female space shuttle pilot, but that is the second-in-command job during a mission, behind the commander.
White House representative Mike McCurry said Clinton had nothing to do with Collins' promotion and that NASA alone made the decision, but the president wanted to make the announcement.
Reluctant to upstage the president, NASA refused to say yesterday which flight Collins would command. The most likely choices were a telescope-delivery mission later this year, possibly in December, or a station-assembly flight scheduled for December but likely to slip into 1999.

KU drive could beat Kansas State's
Blood donation flows steadily throughout day
v Carl Kaminski
ckaminski@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
For the first time in years, the University of Kansas' blood drive may beat Kansas State.
"We haven't beat them for a really long time," said Sarah Schreck, Panhelenic Association blood-drive chairwoman and Lenexa sophomore.
Kansas State's spring blood drive concluded two weeks ago and collected 536 units of blood. On Tuesday, the KU drive collected 136 units in the Ballroom at the Kansas Union. Yesterday, 170 total units were collected at the Union site and a new site at McCollum Hall.

Schreck said she expected more units to be collected today because two collection sites would be open again.
The Union site is open again today from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., but the second collection site has moved to Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall. That site will be open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Schreck said that in the past, students had to wait for more than two hours to
She said that instead of large rushes or donors coming in at once, there had been a steady flow through the day.
give blood, but this spring the KU drive had been running more smoothly.
had been taming not me so smoothly
"It's just flowing," she said.
To encourage donations, Schreck said the blood-drive committee had been giving away T-shirts, door prizes and raffle prizes donated by Lawrence businesses.
"We've got everything from bike helmets to calculators," she said.
The blood drive depends heavily on volunteers. Schreck said she was impressed with the number of volunteers at the drive.
"We've almost had too many at some points," she said.
The blood drive benefits the American Red Cross, which needs more than 2,000 pints of blood each week in Kansas. Schreck said.
"Most of the donation stays around the Kansas area," she said.
To those who may be a apprehensive about giving blood, Kellener suggested looking away when the needle was inserted.
Shalom Kellener, St. Francis senior,
said she gives blood about once every
three months. She donated blood Tuesday
at the Union.
"It also helps to bring a friend," she said. "It's pretty creepy."
Schreck also said the Red Cross took
good care of those who felt faint after giving blood, and she should know.
"I almost passed out a half hour ago," she said.
To donate blood, Schreck said students must be at least 17 years old, weigh 110 pounds or more and not have had a tattoo or body piercing within the
past year.
After donation, the blood is screened by the Red Cross for diseases, including HIV, Schreck said.
The drive is put on by the All Scholarship Hall Council, the Association of University Residence Halls, the Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic.
Battle of the bands to sing with new talent
By Tamara Miller
miller@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Local bands have a chance to come out of their respective garages and into the musical arena with a good, old-fashioned fight.
Angela Wilson, Naperville, Ill., senior and promotions director for KJHK, said the station was taking submission tapes for the Farmer's Ball, a battle of the bands at the Bottleneck scheduled for April 21, 22 and 24.
Submissions are due April 1 and can be turned in at 2051 A Dole Center.
Wilson said a selections committee, including the KJJK assistant music director, an SUA officer and several KJJK DJs, would choose eight bands.
Four of the selected bands will play April 21 and the other four will play April 22.

Audience members may vote for their favorite bands by ballot, she said.
The top four bands from the audience vote will play April 24. The band that receives the most votes also will win four hours of free recording time with Redhouse Records and open at Day on the Hill this spring.
"It gives bands the opportunity to get noticed," she said. "A lot of the bands don't have the money to go to a recording studio."
Only four submissions have been turned in. However, submissions usually pick up toward the end of March.
Wilson said.
More than 100 submissions were entered last year.
Kelly Corcoran, Topea senior and music director, said the ball served as a launch pad for local bands. Past winners include Danger Bob, The Bubble Boys and The Hellcat Trio, he said.
"Playing Day on the Hill is a big deal,
he said. "It's a good way to get exposure."
Corcoran said the selection committee listened to two songs from each tape. The songs must be original, and the bands cannot be signed to a recording contract. After the top eight bands are selected, the bands' songs are promoted on KJHK's local music show, "Plow the Fields."
Sam Fisk, Galesburg, Ill., senior and program director, said some of the bands already had developed a following from playing at Tunes at Noon or Jaybowl. Other bands may never have performed a live show before.
"It gives bands the opportunity to get noticed. A lot of the bands don't have the money to go to a recording studio."
Angela Wilson Promotions director for KJHK
"It's not necessarily bands that are huge," he said. "Most of the bands have their friends come and vote for them. It's hard not to make a popularity contest."
Wilson said the selection committee was looking for variety. Music ranging from punk rock to country was turned in last year.
Corcoran said he had only one requirement.
"Get your tapes in on time because there won't be an extension," he said.
Training level same for city, KU officers
By Laura Roddy
lrooddy@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The KU Public Safety Office's 26 commissioned officers are trained in the same manner as every other police officer in Kansas.
They carry guns and use fully marked emergency vehicles, said KU police Set. Chris Keary.
"Students should remember that KU police officers are not any different than police officers they left in their home towns," Keary said. "You can pretty much think of KU as a city within a city."
Officers become certified by attending an academy. State law requires at least 320 hours of training, Keary said. Curriculum areas include law, police patrol procedures, police investigative procedures and human relations.
The Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center is located in Hutchinson, but a police force can conduct its own training academy with approved curriculum.
For example, the Lawrence Police Department is training 18 cadets at its academy.
Lawrence police Sgt. George Wheeler said it was easier for the department to run its own academy because the academy could be designed for the city's needs.
Keary said officers hired by the University's Public Safety Office must undergo 180 hours of internal training in addition to state certification.
Every law enforcement officer also is required to attend an additional 40 hours of training each year, he said.
"Many of our officers attend much more than 40 hours." Keary said.
"Several years ago, the state did a reclassification of the pay scale and made university police officers comparable to cities in Kansas," he said.
Keary said the Public Safety Office did not compete with the Lawrence Police Department for officers because the starting salaries were in the same range.
Lawrence officers start at $28,080 annually.
All university police officers in Kansas, including KU officers, begin earning $24,155. The maximum for anyone with the rank of officer is $38,147 in Lawrence and $33,997 for university officers.
In December, the University of Arkansas Police Department released a survey of pay scales for university police officers. In addition to the University of Kansas, two other Big 12 Conference schools were included.
The minimum salary for officers at Iowa State University was $24,155 and the maximum was $33,997. At the University of Missouri, the minimum was $29,581 and the maximum was $33,072.

Kansan coverage of BSU activities disappointing
The Black Student Union would like to address specific concerns that have been raised in regard to the article that was in The University Daily Kansan on Friday, Feb. 27.
Overwhelming disappointment was expressed to BSU after realizing that one of only two stories deemed worthy of the front page of the Kansan was concerning the indiscretion of a single, now emember, of BSU. In the last four weeks BSU has brought such men as Rep. Lloyd Daniels and Dennis Kimbro to the University of Kansas campus. There have been panel discussions on entrepreneurship, community events, as well as a poetry reading all to display just a few of the achievements of African Americans. However, only minimal attention was given to these events by the Kansan, each article receiving only small segments, most on the back page of the paper. It is disappointing that the hard work of so many BSU members can be overshadowed by the mistake of one. Hopefully in the future the Kansan can help to show an appreciation of the achievements of the University's minority organizations, proving it is a paper worthy of its past accomplishments.

New parking booth policy actually helps students
I am writing this letter in response to several articles which have run in The University Daily Kansas regarding the KU Parking Department and the KU Court of Parking Appeals. I am a KU law student and a Court of Parking Appeals judge. During the past two years I have become quite familiar with this system and would like to comment about it.
On Tuesday, Feb. 17, the Kansan
ran a front page article regarding the new proposal to fine students who run the traffic information booths. I would like to bring it to your attention that the University of Kansas Parking Rules and Regulations state that "during the hours when information stations are in operation, access to and parking on central campus shall require a campus access pass which shall be issued to persons who apply to the Parking Board justifying need for access."
Also contained in the regulations is a violation for no valid parking permit or other authorization for use of parking facilities. Therefore, one who runs these booths and illegally parks on campus could be ticketed. Also, Regulation 8.1 states that City of Lawrence ordinances shall cover specified moving violations on the University campus and may cover specified standing or parking violations on city streets within the campus. Therefore, one also could be ticketed for being in violation of Regulation 8.1. The students who deliberately run these booths should be thankful for the proposal, because it would give them essentially two free passes to break the law.
While I am writing, I would like to take the opportunity to address the editorial which was published in your paper last semester demonstrating a dissatisfaction with the KU Court of Parking Appeals. This editorial was completely off base on several points. The major points of this editorial were that the process of appealing a ticket takes a long time and a very small percentage of appeals submitted are actually granted.
First, if this court did not exist, KU students would have no recourse when they receive a violation that they believe to be unfair. The court is one of equity. In the fall of 1997, the court attempted to speed up the process by expanding the time when the court was in session to three nights per week. The undergraduate students expressed extreme displeasure to the Parking
Department, as they were not willing to give up their Friday nights. Also, another reason for the extreme backlog is that some students appeal merely to extend the time in which they must pay the fine.
As to the number of appeals granted, about 20 to 25 percent of the appeals submitted are granted. This number included both in-person appeals and written appeals. However, I personally grant about 50 percent of the appeals that I hear and many judges are predisposed to grant appeals. The reasons for denying appeals are numerous. When submitting an appeal, it is very important to include enough information so that we may be able to understand the situation. Include every detail, background, or anything of even remote importance. Even the slightest thing may be the deciding factor in your case. Many appeals are granted on a good faith basis, so tell us if there are any extenuating circumstances. If enough information is not provided, then we sometimes have no choice but to deny the appeal.

Announcement, bikini ad placement contradictory
Two weeks ago The University Daily Kansan ran a small announcement regarding the celebration of International Women's Day this month. Right underneath it was a much larger advertisement for "Spring Break '98 Swimwear" emblazoned with a bikini-clad, impossibly thin — the photo literally stretched to make her look like this — and large breasted woman, arms clasped behind her head. Now, does any body see a contradiction here?

Race against time, other people, not important

Perspective
Jack Handy recently had an enlightening experience and indirectly shared it with me via forwarded e-mail. Handy described his experience as follows:
But maybe it would be good if we could freeze time. We could stop what we are doing and look at everything that's going on around us. Maybe we would realize that time should not dictate how we live our lives. We should live life one day at a time and do what we love to do, no matter how long it takes us.
"As the light changed from red to green to yellow and back to red again, I sat there thinking about life. Was it nothing more than a bunch of honking and yelling? Sometimes it seemed that it was."
There was a TV show in the 1980s in which a woman found a strange medallion in her flower garden that stopped time every time she yelled "shut up." If some people had that medallion and froze time, then they might go crazy. Their life would no longer have any meaning. We are so dependent on time to provide meaning to our existence that we would be utterly lost without it.
And I wonder in all of our racing to get ahead in this world, who or what will be waiting at the finish line for the winner? Will the winner ever tell us all what he or she
wins? Or will the rest of us continue to live our lives in the dark, not knowing the lucrative prizes that we would have won if we had just bumped a few more cars off the road and edged our way past a few more people.
But time is an inexorable force that we cannot control. We are given only a minute slice of time, so we have to make the best of it and achieve our goals before we die. The race goes on, and it is not only a competition against humans, but against time. We seem to think we have a good chance of beating both. So hurry up, you cannot afford to be late. There is nothing for those who don't win.
There is never enough time to take a step back, breathe in the air and just chill out for awhile. This puts you behind in the race. We always are stressed out about something. Either we like what is going on and are stressed about maintaining it, or we dislike what is going on and we are stressed about changing it. Always on the go, we cannot ever stop or slow down.
Never blink or you will miss something important. Never keep your eyes shut or you will run off the road and be so far behind in the race that you will not be able to catch up. We are caught in between people leaning out of their windows, yelling at us to watch where we are going, and people honking at us to hurry up.
The screaming has become cacophonous. Hate or love, war or peace, death or life, your place or mine? We can't decide about
anything and so we yell and scream until we force our voices to be heard over the reviving of the engines of society. And as we nudge past a few more people, getting closer to victory lane, do we ever look back at the experiences that we have just raced through, or are we just putting the petal to the metal?
Perhaps we should stop trying to manipulate time to our advantage. We are only fooling ourselves. So the next time there is someone in front of you sitting through a traffic light, stop yelling and honking, take a deep breath and think about why you are in such a hurry — but not too long. I wouldn't want you to finish in second place.

They are so ordinary it is spooky and so extraordinary it is blissful. They are the parents I look forward to seeing, no matter how bad my grades are.
Even as they disapproved of my early marriage, they opened their arms to that someone I loved.

At a time when my blood parents were no where to be found and the one stable parent in my life died, they stepped up to the task and continuously proved to be more-than-qualified.

Effect of air strike not considered in column
Tim Harrington's column about the Iraqi situation confuses me. He says that he has a "peace-loving, flower-child, pacifist streak" that leaves him reluctant to agree that the U.S. should jump into conflict. Later, however, Harrington says that "we may yet have to commit to the ultimate sacrifice, and give up a few hundred or a few thousand of our brightest and most dedicated, and undoubtedly kill a few thousand or a few
million Iraqis."
Harrington uses the rationale that Saddam Hussein is too dangerous to ignore, that the chemical weapon factor may yet push us to a justifiable war. What Harrington ignores is that air attacks on the chemical plants could unleash an ecological nightmare in the Middle East. We killed more than 100,000 Iraqis in the Gulf War, many of them casualties of our surgically precise air strikes. Further, the sanctions that we helped impose since the war have indirectly killed thousands of children, even as Saddam
padded his image of defiance against Western intruders.
I agree that Saddam is an evil man. But the idea that we need to punish him by raining our supposedly new and improved missiles on the chemical plants is wrong. I trust that the U.N. agreement holds. In the meantime, the U.S. should listen to the world community, except for Britain, and continue down the diplomatic track.

University to add graduate program
Students to enter new study area during Fall 1999
By Susie Gura
sguru@kanson.com
Kansan staff writer
Native American studies will be taken a step further at the University of Kansas with the addition of a graduate program.
Three years ago, the provost approved the indigenous nations studies program, which was put in place by the indigenous nations studies task force. The program will start accepting students in the fall of 1999.
The program was created with several core courses. The courses focus on the life of
indigenous peoples, issues that face indigenous peoples today and colonial policies toward indigenous peoples.
Luci Tapahonso, associate professor of English, led the task force. Haskell Indian Nations University also worked closely with the task force to determine the program's focus.
"The task force looked at programs across the United States and found that there were mainly undergraduate programs," said Rita Napier, associate professor of history.
The new program also will be an opportunity for students from Haskell who have done work in Native American studies to continue at the University of Kansas at the graduate level.
"The program wants to look at individual issues that are important in North and South America," Napier said.
It will not be a problem to develop this program because of the quality Latin American studies program already in place, Napier said.
Professors in the Latin American studies language program are involved in the development of the new graduate program, said Will Holliday, graduate research assistant in Latin American studies
"I know that we have many faculty involved in it," he said.
The program is in the midst of niring a director, which it should have by this summer, Napier said.
"We have seen a lot of great people that we hope to acquire on staff if not for a director." Napier said. "We hope to hire more native faculty for the program."
the mission statement of the program does not focus on the
study of native people, but the cooperation among tribal groups and with nonindigenous people.
"We do not want to treat native people as objects," Napier said.
Students take the general courses and also choose a speciality.
"There are already some classes here at the University that are being used in the program," Napier said.
Students may take an academic perspective in their graduate studies by doing a research project or a more service-oriented project through an internship.
"Everything is falling into place. We are waiting to receive space from the University, but the program has already been accepted by the Regents," Napier said.
Lecture series offers worldwide view
By Jon Campbell
Special to the Kansan
The Office of International Programs is offering a lecture series about topics ranging from political strife in Rwanda to terrorism.
The next 50-minute, free lecture, which will include a question-and-answer session, is from 12:30 to 1:20 p.m. Friday in the Pine Room of the Kansas Union. Those who attend can bring brown-bag lunches.
Lecturers include international scholars, journalists and professors, as well as faculty and students from the University who have conducted research and taught classes abroad.
The lectures, the first of which was held in February, usually attract between 18 and 24 people. Anne Merydith-Wolf is project coordinator for International Programs and organizerof the series, known as the Worldview Brown Bag lectures. Students make up only about a third of each audience.
"KU faculty and graduate students do a lot of international travel, research and teaching,and that's what we try to showcase with Worldview."
Anne Merydith-Wolf Project Coordinator
"Students are very welcome." Merydith-Wolf said. "I know it's hard to put one more thing in your day but having access to these people is just invaluable."
"KU faculty and graduate students do a lot of international travel, research and teaching, and that's what we try to showcase with Worldview." she said.
"The information we hear in Worldview tends to be much more in-depth than you would hear on the regular news," she said.
Merydith-Wolf said the lecture series sought to provide a better understanding of international issues.
This semester's topics include reconciliation in post-apartheid South Africa and East Asia's current economic crisis.
Adrienne Rivers, professor of journalism who spent two years in Ghana as a Fulbright Scholar, gave the first lecture of the semester. Her lecture addressed the mass media in Ghana, whose government opened the airwaves to the public for the first time in 1992.
Merydith-Wolf promotes the Worldview Lectures with filers, e-mail and announcements in the Kansan events calendar. In addition, she said she tried to reach students by informing their professors of up-coming lectures that pertain to their fields.
Remaining lectures:
Clyde Stoltenberg, professor of business, encourages his students to attend the lectures, particularly when the topics coincide with issues being discussed in class.

Local bath-and-body store's clientele blooms
By Jeremy M. Doherty jdoherty@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
A locally owned beauty product retailer is coming up rosy following some national attention.
Bloom Bath & Body, 704 Massachusetts St., specializes in bath and body products. It is increasing its distribution since receiving a favorable mention in the current issue of Mademoiselle magazine.
Product orders have been flooding in ever since, said co-owner Margot Wells.
"Normally, we only get about four calls a day from people who've seen a product of ours and want more." Wells said. "Now, on a heavy day, we've been receiving 25 calls."
To accommodate new customers, Wells will put out a full-color catalog this month. In addition to a second outlet that opened in Denver last year, she has representatives in Chicago and Los Angeles. Distribution also may be in the works for locales in New York and Hawaii, Wells said.
Heidi English, Overland Park junior, said she had visited Bloom Bath & Body once.
"Our company grew out of the Lawrence clientele. One thing we've been appreciative of is that the people keep coming back."
Some KU students said they were wary of the high prices usually associated with specialty outlets.
"Personally, I can't afford to spend money on products like that," English said. "They sold bathrobes there which were way out of my range. T-shirts and shorts works for me."
Wells said she tried to keep items in her store price under $20.
Margot Wells
"The KU students make up about 60 percent of our clientele," she said. "We've provided gifts to sororites that can be put together in our stores for less than $5. They don't have that mass-marketed or plastic look."
Heather Bright, Lake Forest, Ill., senior, regularly visits bath and beauty stores in Kansas City and said Bloom Bath & Body offered good bargains.
"That sounds like a great gift

idea for roommates," Bright said. "I have five roommates, so it'd be inexpensive."
Wells said that not only did KU students shop in her store, but also they routinely were offered employment. Pleaseing her customers is a priority, she said.
"Our company grew out of the Lawrence clientele," Wells said. "One thing we've been appreciative of is that the people keep coming back."

Volunteering first step for career
By Melody Ard
By Melody Ard Special to the Kansan
Although Jamie Graske is not a resident at the First Step House, she found her volunteer experience to be a good climb toward her future career.
Graske, Omaha senior, began volunteering at the house in the fall of 1996 as a requirement for a social-work class.
The house, located at 345 Florida St., is a drug reintegration residence for women and children. It offers services to the residents as well as a chance for volunteers to better understand social service organizations.
"This gives me skills I will use for the rest of my life since I am going to social work," Graske said. "It gives me an opportunity to realize what field I want to go into because the field is so broad."
Since beginning her volunteer work about 18 months ago, Graske has worked as an administrative volunteer. Her responsibilities include answering phones, sorting mail, filing and entering information into a data base.
Graske does not work directly with the residents, but she says
she enjoys the contact she does have with them.
"I really like the interaction with the clients, and the kids make it interesting," she said. "They are still so innocent, but at the same time they aren't. They know so much more than I did when I was their age."
Katie Jones, case manager, said about 15 women lived in the house at one time and the number of children could range from two to 10. depending on the residents.
"Most women come here after completing some kind of addiction treatment," Jones said. "It's kind of a half-way house, as it used to be called, before they go out on their own."
The women, whose average stay is three months, are given vocational training and counseling.
Volunteers help with those tasks and others. Jones estimated the house had 20 volunteers this fall, about a dozen were KU students.
There are several volunteer opportunities for students, including aerobics instruction, tutoring about computer literacy, administrative tasks and child care.
"It isn't just baby-sitting," Jones said. "The tasks are varied so people don't feel like they are just sitting in a corner."
Many of the activities focus on the children, and those people volunteering in the child-care area work closely with the children to develop positive habits.
"We try to do activities that promote social skills so that the children can use those skills in other areas of their lives, such as school or with their mothers," said Amy Myers, children's group facilitator.
Both Jones and Myers were former volunteers at the house and now have staff positions.
"This is an excellent way to build work experience, and I'm always happy to write reference letters," Jones said. "I have found that my volunteer experiences were very important to my career."
For Graske, the benefits for her future and the environment of the house keep coming back although her class commitment is fulfilled.
"The atmosphere is always changing, and the people are always different," she said. "I have found out that I can make a difference. When you give someone respect, it makes a world of difference."
Drop-In Center seeks volunteers
Shelter needs help to lengthen hours, open on Saturdays
By Susie Gura
sguru@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The Lawrence Community Drop-In Center seeks volunteers to help extend its hours.
The center, a nonprofit day shelter, is located in the Oread Friends Meeting House, 1146 Oregon St.
The Drop-In Center is open from 8 a.m. to noon, Monday through Friday. It needs volunteers to extend its hours to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday to open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sundays.
The shelter is a resource not only for the homeless but also for those who may be lonely, need access to a shower, a telephone or warmth.
"We provide them with a shower, snacks, a cup of coffee and toiletries," said William Burton,
volunteer.
People also may use the center as an address for job applications or interviews.
Donnell Turner, center director, said the volunteers knew business contacts and helped set up appointments.
Volunteer training sessions were held last month in the Kansas Union. Deb Engstrom, board member, Deb Wilkinson, board member and assistant professor of social welfare, and Suzanne Boyd, board member and assistant professor of social welfare, conducted the sessions.
"We advertised the training session in both the The University Daily Kansan and the Lawrence Journal-World. We also talked to IFC and the Center for Community Outreach." Wilkinson said.
At the training session, board members talked about the center's history, the purpose, the services provided and how the center fits within community resources.
Boyd said the center had recorded 580 counts of people using it.
He said that not all of the people at the center were homeless, but that some did not have an adequate permanent shelter.
"We average 10 to 15 people a day, varying in age and ethnicity. The Drop-In Center is an outgrowth of a grassroots movement that began in the fall of 1994," Boyd said.
Volunteer expectations and concerns were discussed at the training.
Wilkinson said, "They are a group of people who want to be engaged with regular people."
The board members also talked about myths concerning the homeless.
"For the most part, they share our values," Wilkinson said. "They prefer to be clean, to work and to take care of their kids. They have the same goals we do, but they find it harder to achieve them."
The Center needs people to volunteer. To volunteer, contact Deb Wilkinson or Suzanne Boyd at 864-4720.

Graduate students create, display art for degrees
By Tamara Miller
'miller@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Painting, sculpting, drawing.
Painting, sculpting, drawing.
For many graduate students,
these activities may serve as a
distraction from writing these
papers. But for Lisa Kriner,
Greensboro, N.C., graduate student,
creating art is essential to her degree.
- Kriner and six other master's degree candidates in fine arts are displaying their works in the Art and Design building to fulfill requirements for their graduate degrees.
The students are presenting their work in the Master of Fine Arts Thesis Exhibition, which opened Sunday and will continue until April 10, said Cima Katz, director of graduate studies in art and design.
"It's great to expose students to what new art can be. It's a wonderful hidden aspect on this campus."
Lisa Kriner
Fine Arts Graduate Student
Katz said that the exhibit was one of three requirements for a graduate degree in fine arts. In addition to displaying art in the exhibit, each candidate must write a paper and present an oral defense on the thesis.
Kriner said that the exhibit helped demonstrate her progress
Kriner's thesis, "Physical Surfaces," displays work with text tiles and fabrics.
during the past three years.
"It's less conceptual," she said. "I like it to have allusions to things like the body, nature and architecture."
She said that displaying her work in the exhibit helped her recognize her accomplishments.
"It's really nice to look back to the elements that have carried through," she said. "There's a ceremony about it."
Kriner said that the art show offered the candidates an opportunity to show the University what they had been working on.
"It's great to expose students to what new art can be," Kriner said. "It's a wonderful hidden aspect on this campus."
The exhibit also gives undergraduate students a chance to view work by their graduate student instructors.
"It shows you what kind of work you have to put out to get into grad school," she said.
Erin Kuechler, Wentzville, Mo,
junior, said that she enjoyed seeing and critiquing some of her instructors' work in the exhibit.
The gallery is showing exhibits this week by Kriner; Michael Maloney, Syracuse, N.Y., graduate student; Teresa Paschke, Lawrence graduate student; Amie Adelman, Lawrence graduate student; Dustin Johnson, Albert Lea, Minn., graduate student; Carolina Mayorga, Lawrence graduate student and Cathy Day, Oxnard, Calif., graduate student.

University tops 400 other research schools
By Susie Gura
sgura@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas ranks 95th out of 495 colleges and universities receiving federal research and development money, the National Science Foundation reported last week.
$ Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore is ranked first and recieved the most federal funding in the sevenyear period.
The ranking is based on the amount of federal money the University receives to support research during its fiscal year. The foundation estimated the University's federal research funds to be $274 million during a seven-year period.
Big 12 schools ranked in the top 100 out of 495 colleges and universities receiving federal research and development money, not including training grants or the school of education.

$ Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore is ranked first and received the most federal funding in the university record.
The National Science Foundation ranking reflects money received by most University departments, but it does not include training grants or the School of Education.
She said the ranking was only a small part of a larger report completed by the foundation that included all of the research money received by the University.
Kim Moreland, director of the office of sponsored programs said the ranking was not complete.
Jason Benavides/KANSAN
"It is not a reflection of the money that we received," Moreland said. "We lose about $25 million dollars by not including education."
"The research money reflects all the money that the University spends on research," said Bob Zerwek, director of technology transfer at the Center for Research.
The University of Kansas ranks 77th out of 500 private and public universities and ranks 52nd in the survey among public universities, according to the larger report which includes training grants and the school of education.
The University's departments use the ranking to determine how they compare to other universities. Moreland said.
Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, known for its top medical research centers, ranked first in the survey which did not include training grants and the school of education. It received the most federal financing during the seven-year period, more than $5.3 billion.
Among Big 12 schools, Colorado received the most federal research
financing, ranking 17th nationally in the survey without training grants and the school of education. Colorado received more than $1.1 billion in research assistance.
Four other Big 12 schools were in the top 100 of the same survey. Texas A&M was 25th; the University of Texas was 26th; Iowa State University was 75th; and the University of Oklahoma was 93rd.
The University regards the ranking of 77th in the larger report as a true reflection of the amount of money received. The ranking also is used in terms of achieving a better standing in the future.
"We don't have a numerical goal but would like to move up into the top 50." Moreland said.
Students work around jobs
By Julie M. Sachs
Special to the Kansan
Working college students typically are motivated, except when they are at work.
Being a working college student means balancing a job with classes and social activities. When these different roles conflict, the roles can create challenging situations.
Partying too hard the night before a shift is a scenario some local business managers said they see all too often among their college-aged staff members.
"Very rarely do students come in intoxicated ... but some will come in with a hangover," said Evan Kuhlman, manager of Teller's, 746 Massachusetts St. "My employees are not supposed to come in drunk, but being in a college town means being more lenient."
Other local businesses have set harsh rules for this problem.
Coming to work intoxicated or with a hangover is not the only problem for businesses in a college town. Businesses also are forced to work around class schedules.
"Students don't know their schedule until the last minute but working with a student's schedule is all part of my job," said David Lewis, manager of Milton's Coffee & Wine, 920 Massachusetts St.
Student employees also find scheduling stressful, especially when working conflicts with academics.
"Most of the time, they put forth that effort to work with my schedule, but they push me a lot to work more hours than I want," said Lisa Logan, Overland Park sophomore who works at the Beaenary in Leawood.
Scheduling conflicts are also an issue for students and their employers during breaks.
"Vacations have a lot to do with tenure. If someone had only been here a month and asked for a week off, they would be fired ... unless they could get all their shifts covered," Kuhlman said.
However, for many students, not receiving time off from work for vacations is unacceptable.
"I had to work for half of Christmas break, that's why I quit," said Wendy Weidel, who used to host at客服 O. Kelley's Mexican Cafe, 707 W. 23rd St.
Despite the challenges of hiring college students, managers think college students can be advantageous.
"I really like having students from Lawrence because they know people who come into the store." Lewis said.

Increase in deer population has more caught in headlights
By Ronnie Wachter
rwacher@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Deer-related accidents are on the rise in Douglas County partly because of an increase in the deer population, said Lt. Don Crowne of the Douglas County Sheriffs Office.
"The mating season is over, and that usually means that at this time we see fewer deer accidents," Crowe said. "But it hasn't slacked off much, and it's going to pick up again soon."
Steve Stackhouse, director of law enforcement at the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, said the state deer population had grown significantly during the last year.
"The deer population in Kansas is at an all-time high." Stackhouse said.
He said that drivers needed to be most cautious at dusk and dawn when the changing levels of light make deer hard to spot.
Crowe said that deer travel more often during the mating season, which extends from late August to November. During that time, the sheriffs office handles an average of three accidents a day involving deer.
However, this winter, the sheriff's office has handled an average of one deer-related accident per day, Crowe said.
"It ited to that you could go two or three weeks at this time without one, and it seems like we can't do that anymore," he said.
Stan Whitley, information specialist for the Kansas Department of Transportation, said that in 1996, 246 deer-related accidents occurred in Douglas County, and that number had been on the rise.
"The number of deer accidents in Douglas increased by 25 percent from 1995 to 96." he said.
Whithey said that the Department of Transportation's statistics for 1997 would not be released until late April or early May.
He said Douglas County ranked fourth among heavily populated Kansas counties in deer-related accidents in 1995. Nearby Shawnee County was ranked first.
A deer jumped out in front of Mark Cowardin, Joplin, Mo., senior, when he was driving down a Douglas County road in January.
Cowardin said he was driving home from his mother's house at 11 p.m. when he spotted a deer standing on the side of
"I let off the gas and slowed down, and it ran out right in front of me and stopped," Cowardin said. "That's when I hit the brakes and hoped I wouldn't hit him."
Cowardin could not slow his mini van down enough, and he hit the deer.
the road.
He said the accident caused $1,400 in damage.
"It hit square in the middle of the van," Cowardin said. "It busted the grill and pushed the radiator back a few inches. But the deer got up and walked off."
Crowe said drivers needed to watch for areas where deer might exist in large numbers. He said that deer were most likely to cross roads near streams or lowlying areas.
"If you see a deer, don't count on it doing something predictable," Stackhouse said.
Deer become confused when the deer feels it is in danger. Stackhouse said this was why deer jump in front of moving vehicles or freeze when seeing headlights.
"Another thing that causes a lot of accidents is that deer travel in packs," he said. "Often, the driver will spot one and concentrate on avoiding that, and then another one that they didn't see will jump out and cause an accident."

Rholes became the first person to hold the title of assistant dean for information services at the University of Kansas when she was hired last fall.
Rholes began working at her $70,000-per-year position on the third floor of Watson Library in January. She will be coordinating services between the reference and access services in Watson Library, along with planning programs to improve services at the library at Edwards Campus, formally known as the Regents Center.

Rholes said she was looking forward to the challenge of coordinating services. However, she said she wanted to work at the reference desk and the circulation desk to stay in touch with the students and faculty.
"If you never see the user's frustration first hand, it's hard to speak for them," she said.
Rholes said she welcomed comments from students and faculty regarding ways to improve Watson Library.
Marilu Goodyear, associate dean of libraries, said Rholes' recent experience working with electronic information as head reference librarian for Texas A&M helped her secure the
"There is something very rewarding for a public service library to work with users," she said.
"She came from an environment that has used a lot of electronic information for a number of years, and she has a lot of experience in implementing those kind of services," Goodyear said.
The electronic revolution has changed the way libraries operate and communicate, Goodyear said.
"All of a sudden the distance between here and the Regents Center isn't that significant," she said.
Rholes emerged as the clear favorite out of three people interviewed for the position, said search committee chairman Brad Schaffner, Russian & East European studies librarian.
"She had a wide breadth of experience," he said.
A Texas native, Rholes graduated from Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts with a bachelor's degree in biology and a minor in art history.
She then acquired a master's degree in zoology at the University of Texas before landing a job in 1974 as an information scientist at American
Cyanamid, a chemical company in New Jersey. While working at American Cyanamid, she received a master's of library science degree at Rutgers University.
Rholes worked as reference librarian at Texas & A&M from 1978 through 1997. Her work ranged from government documents to maps before she became the head of reference.
Faster modem speeds exist but KU switch no time soon

Kansan staff writer
Modem manufacturers have announced plans to use the new v.90 standard, which will allow modems to transmit data at 56 kilobits per second.
However, University of Kansas students and faculty who access the Internet through the University's dial-in service should not rush out to buy v.90 modems with the expectation that these modems immediately will provide faster access speeds.
The University will continue to use modems based on the v.34 standard, providing a top connection speed of 33.6 kilobits per second, said Wes Hubert, assistant director of academic computing services.
Hubert said his department probably would begin testing v.90 modems this summer.
"As soon as we see what the actual numbers are for the difference it makes in speed, we'll let people know," Hubert said. "If there really is a significant performance increase, then we'll do all we can to get the lines here upgraded quickly."
Hubert said the difficulty that academic computing services had a few years ago upgrading to v.34 modems would keep the department from moving to v.90 modems too quickly.
"We had at least half a year of lots of connection problems," Hubert said of the move to v.34 modems.
The problems stemmed from the modems' firmware, internal software that controls the workings of the modems, Hubert said. He said modem vendors continued to release firmware upgrades throughout that first year until they solved the problems.
vices would not upgrade until the modem vendors worked through these problems.
11 the University decides to move to v.90 modems, it also will have to upgrade the telephone lines it uses to connect its bank of modems. Hubert said.
The University would have to connect digital lines into its modern bank rather than traditional analog phone lines, he said.
"At home, you'll have an analog phone line," Hubert said. "The modem is generating tones to go out of your analog lines. At some point in the telephone switching system, it's converted to digital signals for the rest of the telephone system. There can't be any additional translations to analog taking place in that 56K path."
Bill Klein, assistant director of networking and telecommunications services for network systems, said that using v.90 modems would cause some technical challenges for the University.
"The technology is so demanding on the telephone network that you have to engineer it precisely to get the maximum benefit," Klein said. "We don't want to put up that service until we do it correctly."
Hubert said that academic computing serreferrals result in hiring
The v.90 standard replaces two competing specifications for 56K modems: x2 and X56lex.
K56flex and x2 modems were available throughout much of 1997, but the modems were not compatible with each other.
Anyone who purchased x2 or K56flex modems should contact their modem manufacturers for information on upgrading those modems to the v.90 standard.
Several web sites also contain information about upgrading K56flex and x2 modems to the v.90 standard. The official K56flex Site is at http://www.56flex.com. U.S. Robotics has an x2 information page at http://x2.usr.com.

Genes may spark nicotine habit
Addiction part of gene pattern study reports
The Associated Press
HOUSTON — Genes may be the reason why some cigarette smokers can kick the habit after years while others hopelessly are hooked after just a short time, a new study suggests.
The smoker who insists "I can't quit" may be battling a genetic predisposition to a smoking addiction, said Margaret Spitz, head of the epidemiology department at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.
"Even after years of smoking, some individuals are able to quit the habit while others are unsuccessful," Spitz said. "This study sheds light on why that may occur."
The preliminary findings, published today in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, center on an unusual genetic brain pattern that impairs the ability to perceive pleasure. That apparently makes it likely that a person will compensate for that lack by using drugs, alcohol or nicotine.
Spiitz said the findings eventually could aid in developing chemical treatments to help even the most addicted person stop smoking, but she cautioned her study was small and needed to be duplicated by other
researchers.
The key is the gene for a protein called DRD2, one of five known receptors for dopamine, which carries messages between brain cells and is crucial circuitry for producing the psychological "reward" people feel when using drugs.
Spitz and two colleagues studied 157 patients who recently had been diagnosed with lung cancer and compared them to 126 healthy individuals matched for age, sex, race and smoking status.
There were no major differences in the DRD2 gene among all the patients, but Spitz and associates found smokers were more likely to carry one variant of DRD2.
People carrying the variant gene started smoking earlier than people who did not, Spitz said, giving
weight to the common excuse of smokers that "cannot quit."
The same genetic pattern previously has been associated with an increased susceptibility to alcoholism, drug abuse, compulsive overeating and pathological gambling.
A researcher who was not involved in the study, George Uhl of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, noted that although the gene Spitz studied was not the only one that controlled susceptibility to nicotine addiction, if provided a way to target smokers with the unusual gene pattern for intervention.
"If we gave a handle on even a small fraction of that, even 10 percent to 15 percent, it would have a big public health impact," Uhl said in yesterday's Los Angeles Times.
Doctors may have skeletons in closets
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A doctor was convicted of sexually assaulting child patients in the 1980s, but he still can practice medicine. In Indiana, his license requires a chaperone in the examining room, but Virginia lifted all restrictions on him in 1994.
A California doctor was suspended for six months, then practiced during three years' probation after improperly treating a heart attack and misdiamaging cancer.
Illustrating how difficult it is for patients to know if their physicians have questionable or even criminal pasts, a consumer advocacy group released 16,638 names yesterday of U.S. doctors disciplined by states or federal agencies. It is the nation's only comprehensive public list.
"Most of the doctors on this list are still practicing. Most of their patients have not volde," said Public Citizen's Sidnev Wolfe.
Problems include sexually abusing patients, providing incompetent care, misprescribing medicine, abusing alcohol and drugs and technicalities such as improperly renewing licenses.
Experts agree that the majority of the nation's 600,000 doctors are competent and law-abiding. But how to choose a good physician is under increasing scrutiny.
Most hospitals have doctors who patients know are not up to standard but have not done anything egregious enough for formal sanctions, said Lucian Leape of Harvard University. "How do we identify doctors who have problems before they hurt patients?" Leape asked.
The federal government keeps a larger list of sanctioned doctors that includes malpractice payouts and hospitals' discipline of staff doctors, similar to the early detection Leape advocates.
By law, this National Practitioner Data Bank is kept secret, with only hospital administrators and licensing boards given access.
Patients can call state medical licensing boards to check physicians' licenses, but how much patients learn varies. Some states reveal only a doctor's current status, not past problems. Others post physicians' license status on the Internet. California provides step-by-step information about how to choose a doctor and ensure a specialist is board-certified — and promises to reveal felony convictions or malpractice judgments against sanctioned physicians.
"Most of the doctors on this list are still practicing. Most of their patients have no idea."
Sidney Wolfe
Public Citizen consumer advocacy
The American Medical Association has lobbied fiercely to prevent Congress from opening the National Practitioner Data Bank. It agrees that consumers need to know when a state disciplines a doctor but says broader information is unfair.
"Some of the best physicians get sued," said Thomas Reardon, chairman of the AMA's Board of Trustees.
Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said yesterday he again would attempt to legislate somewhat of a compromise — making public all records except malpractice payouts.
AMA's Reardon also questioned how much of a doctor's past the patient needed to know, citing physicians who overcome alcoholism or drug abuse.
"Yes, they've made a mistake," Reardon said. "Does that warrant them being put in Sid Wolfe's book
as a bad physician? People can be rehabilitated."
Wolfe began compiling the list of questionable doctors — he is careful to say they are not necessarily all bad — several years ago in protest of the national database secrecy. For the first time this year, he has lists from all 50 states, Medicare and, after suing to open Drug Enforcement Administration records, federal narcotics license data with 10 years of doctor records.
The report shows huge variations in how states deal with problem doctors. Mississippi in 1996 issued 10.8 serious disciplinary actions per 1,000 doctors; North Dakota, 9.2 serious sanctions per 1,000; and Kansas 8.6.
By contrast, New Hampshire's disciplinary rate is 1.7 serious actions per 1,000 doctors, and Virginia's is 2.2.
Nor do states always curb physicians disciplined by federal agencies. The DEA revoked or restricted 1,883 doctors' federal licenses to prescribe controlled substances, typically for drug abuse or misprescribing these powerful drugs. But a doctor can still prescribe other medicines without a narcotics license—and 25 percent of DEA-sanctioned physicians never faced further state discipline.
Castration doesn't make judge easy on child molester
The Associated Press
GENEVA, Ill. — An admitted child molester whose attorney called him the safest sex offender in the United States because he had himself surgically castrated was sentenced to 26 years in prison.
Jeffrey Morse, 30, who could have been sentenced to nearly 100 years for molesting two young girls, had himself castrated in hopes of getting a lighter sentence. But Judge Donald Hudson on Tuesday sentenced him to a much harsher penalty than the six years his attorney had asked for.
Hudson noted that Morse waited until the gates of the penitentiary were closing in on him before he had the procedure performed. The judge also said he wanted to keep the threat of a long sentence as a deterrent.
"I choose not to lose the threat
of a longer sentence and its deterence because the defendant wants to use his body parts as a bargaining chip." Hudson said.
Prosecutor Kathy Diamond Karayannis asked for a sentence of 25 to 60 years and called Morse's castration a ploy to evoke sympathy.
"He had control over these victims," she said. "Do not let him get control over this court, too."
Morse pleaded guilty to aggravated criminal sexual assault and three other charges for molesting the girls, ages 8 and 11.
Defense attorney Paul Wharton urged the judge to impose a lighter sentence, possibly even the minimum six-year term.
"Jeff Morse has made himself as nondangerous a pedophile as a pedophile can be," he said.
Morse spoke briefly before the sentencing. In a trembling voice, he said he was sorry but he could not undo what he had done.
Philip Morris memos link teen-age desires
The Associated Press
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Confronted by documents yesterday that showed his company comparing a teenager's desire to drive with the desire for a smoke, the head of the nation's largest cigarette company again said he was embarrassed by attempts to capture the youth market.
Geoffrey Bible, chairman and chief executive of Philip Morris, was shown a 1981 Philip Morris memo about the effect of a cigarette-tax increase on the teen-age market.
"I think it is more than coincidental that the sharpest declines in smoking prevalence among teen-age males occurred in 1979 and 1980, the years in which the price of gasoline rose most sharply," researcher
Myron Johnston wrote in the memo, "When it comes to a choice between smoking cigarettes or cruising around in his car, the average teenage male will probably choose the latter."
"I don't think we should have been commenting on matters like that," Bible said. "I'm embarrassed by it."
Minnesota is suing the tobacco industry to recover the $1.77 billion it says it has spent smoking illnesses.
Michael Ciresi, lead attorney for the plaintiffs, also asked Bible about a 1977 memo describing how the company hid its connection with a German research laboratory by routing lab samples through a dummy mailing address at a Swiss center.

Same-sex harassment case revived by court
WASHINGTON — On-the-job torment can be sexual harassment even when the offender and victim are the same sex, the Supreme Court said yesterday in a decision that could touch virtually every American workplace.
The Associated Press
The court said same-sex harassment could violate a federal anti-discrimination law. It voted unanimously to revive a Louisiana lawsuit closely watched by the nation's employers and gay-rights groups.
Yesterday's decision provided important new guidelines for resolving sex-harassment claims, but plenty of questions remain about the legality of certain conduct in specific employment settings.
In that lawsuit, a man alleged he was sexually harassed by three other men while working on a Gulf of Mexico oil rig.
"Common sense and an appropriate sensitivity to social context will enable courts and juries to distinguish between what is legal and illegal." Justice Antonin Scalia wrote for the court.
The ruling allows victims of homosexual
All circumstances must be considered, Scalia said and gave the example of a football coach smacking the fanny of a player who was heading onto the field. Nothing illegal there, Scalia said, but that was not necessarily the case when the coach does the same thing to his secretary, male or female.
harassment to get into federal court.
In the Louisiana case, a federal appeals court ruled that the federal law never applied to same-sex harassment.
Joseph Oncale's sexual-hassarment claim stemmed from four months of work in 1991 as a roustabout assigned to a Gulf of Mexico oil rig with Sundowner Offshore Services.
Oncale's lawsuit against Sundowner and three men said he was sexually assaulted battered, touched and threatened with rap by two supervisors and a co-worker.
All three men named as defendants portrayed their conduct as hazing or lockerroom horseplay.
Senate drives up standard
The Supreme Court's decision allows Oncale to take his lawsuit to a jury but does not ensure his victory.
Drivers' blood-alcohol limit would be linked to funding
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Senate endorsed tough national standards for determining drunken driving yesterday, overcoming opposition from lawmakers who complained that Washington was meddling with state decisions.
"I hope that the happy hour is over for drunk drivers," said Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., one of the chief sponsors of the measure. He predicted that the tough standard could save more than 500 lives a year.
Anti-drunken driving groups estimate that in 1996, more than 17,000 of the 40,000 deaths on the nation's highways resulted from alcohol-related accidents.
By a 62-32 margin, the Senate urged states to set a .08 percent blood-alcohol content as
the threshold for drunken driving. Fifteen states have that standard, while 35 states use a more lenient.10 percent.
Each state that does not accept the tougher standard would lose 5 percent of its federal highway money in fiscal 2002, and 10 percent after that.
The national standard generally was opposed by the alcohol and restaurant industries, which contended that.08 percent was too low. In the Senate, the main opposition was from lawmakers who argued that states should have the right to set the standard.
The drunken-driving measure was presented as an amendment to a $173 billion, six-year highway funding bill.
Rep. Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., said she would introduce a similar amendment to the transportation funding bill.
The .08 level represents the blood-alcohol content when a 170-pound man has four drinks in an hour, or a 137-pound woman has three.
'79 'seduction is rape in '98 soap opera says
NEW YORK - Nearly 20 years ago, Luke and Laura of General Hospital became daytime television's most popular couple after what the show romanticized as Luke's "seduction" of Laura.
the writers glossed over how it really happened: Luke raped Laura on the floor of a closed disco late one night.
PETER S. MEYER
Now General Hospital is revisiting that episode from its past, in part to illustrate how attitudes toward date rape have changed since 1979 and to make clear that the story would not be handled the same way today.
"My first reaction was that it was a big can of worms that could eat us alive. I was terrified," said Anthony Geary, the actor who plays Luke Spencer.

So the writers had them run off together, fall in love and get married. General Hospital subsequently referred to the disco incident as a seduction, angering many women.

"For us, it was a great opportunity," said Wendy Riche, executive producer. "We didn't approach it as 'let's make amends.' We didn't feel guilty or felt like we had to."
But Riche acknowledged that the same story line — a woman falling in love with her rapist — would not pass muster with viewers today.

Memo suggests continued hazing at The Citadel
CHARLESTON, S.C. — A Justice Department memo that said hazing was a "way of life" at The Citadel does not reflect the current atmosphere at the state military school, said the president who took over in August.
The Aug. 13 memo said hazing, including physical abuse, still existed to a disturbing degree at The Citadel.
The memo outlined the investigation into the 1996 hazing of two female cadets and described how
other cadets carved letters into a male cadet's chest, punched staples into a cadet's chest and cut a cadet's face with a sword.
"Mistreatening people because of legitimate injury or illness... unfortunately seems to be the way of life at The Citadel," said the memo obtained by North Carolina's Charlotte Observer under the Freedom of Information Act.
"I can't say that applies today," said President John Grinalds, who cracked down on hazing after he took office. "Hazing is not commonplace."
Grinalds' changes included
putting more adults in the barracks, rewriting college rules and stressing a philosophy that leading people does not mean abusing them.
The Justice Department said in January there was not enough evidence to prove that former cadets Jeanie Mentavos and Kim Messer were harassed and had their clothes set afire solely because they were women.
The two women have sued the school or the cadets allegedly involved.
The school disciplined 14 male cadets for the incidents.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas women's basketball team overcame dismal shooting and a tenacious Kansas State defense to eke out a 50-46 victory in the quarterfinal round of the Big 12 Tournament last night at Municipal Auditorium.
Forward Lynn Pride scored 10 of her game-high 15 points in the second half and sealed the victory on a driving layup with 26 seconds left.

away a Wildcat pass that led to Pride's game-clinching basket.
"It was just something that happened," Pride said. "Jackie came up and knocked the ball loose, and I happened to be there to get the ball and go down to score for us."
The Jayhawks led 23-22 after 20 minutes of sloppy play and erratic shooting from both teams. Kansas shot a meager 31 percent from the floor in the first half, and K-State hit 35 percent of its shots, as both teams applied disrupting, trapping defenses.
The Jayhawks' full-court press forced K-State into 15 first-half turnovers.
"We never got in sync," said Deb Patterson, K-State coach. "I credit that to Kansas and their defensive pressure, but I felt our turnovers were by virtue of poor decision making."
Neither team heated up in the second half. Kansas finished with 33.9 percent shooting and K-State with 34.7 percent.
Washington said her team struggled with shooting all night.
Pride connected on six of 14 field goals and was the only Jayhawk to score in double figures. Johnson grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds, and guard Suzi Rayman produced a solid all-around game, with seven points, seven rebounds and six assists.
"We just weren't shooting the ball well," Washington said. "We had the open shots that just wouldn't go down for us."
The Jayhawks shut down the two players who had led KState to victory against Baylor on Tuesday night. After combining to score 54 points during that game, center Angie Finkes and forward Nicky Ramage could muster only 14 points against the Jayhawks' defense.
Guard Brit Jacobson and forward Jenny Coalson led the Wildcats with 10 points each.
Washington said that she knew the game would be an emotional battle.
"Any time you face a team for the third time, it's going to be tough, especially a rival like Kansas State," she said. "The seedings don't matter in a game like this."
The Jayhawks, 20-7 overall, will face No. 2 seed Iowa State at 7:30 tonight in the semifinals of the tournament. The Cyclones defeated Texas A&M 68-68 earlier yesterday.

Coaches dispute Big 12 tournament's city
Games start today; 'Hawks will play at noon tomorrow

Kansas sportwriter
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — On the eve of the Big 12 Tournament, some coaches around the league expressed concerns yesterday in Kemper Arena about the league tournament, its host and whether the schools could be more supportive of one another
PETER RICHARDSON
Kansas coach Roy Williams, via telephone interview, said the Jayhawks could not benefit much from one more week and against conference free.
Williams: Emotions make tournament transitions hard
"I'm not a huge fan of the tournament, but I'm not a huge critic of the tournament either," Williams said. "The conference tournament is so difficult because you play Friday, Saturday and Sunday with all of that emotion."
He said that emotion made the transition from conference play to the NCAA Tournament difficult.
"You have to throw that emo
tion out the door in five minutes time because of the (NCAA) selection show and preparation for the next game." Williams said. "I don't know how it helps you unless you finish in the bottom half of the conference. It's a lot to ask."
Other coaches also made maximum use of their time with the media.
Baylor coach Harry Miller thought the tournament should be moved to Dallas.
remain in Kansas City, M o o,
because the Big 12 north division featured better basketball teams than in the south division.

"I think coaches need to do a better job pushing our teams, and I don't just mean March when tournament berths are at stake." Sampson said.
said the conference coaches should focus more on promoting the conference than they had this season.
Sampson said the coaches had not been supportive enough of teams like Missouri and Baylor, which may play in the postseason with impressive showings this weekend.
He added that other conferences have had more success in the polls despite less national exposure.
"In the Big 12, coaches take shots at each other, and that's counterproductive to what we want to achieve," he said.
"Does anyone here think Oklahoma State wouldn't finish first or second in the Atlantic-10 Conference," Sampson said.
"I know they would. But we've been arguing about so many other things that we haven't been focusing on what is most important to this conference," he said.
Now, the press conferences have concluded. Let the games begin.
The Big 12 Tournament will start today at noon, when Kansas State battles Colorado. The winner will advance to play top-seeded Kansas tomorrow at noon.

Commentary
Pickup-game team needs Paul Pierce
It's a sunny afternoon, and you are about to begin a pickup game at the local playground. This is a big game.
It's for the National Playground Championship.
It's your turn to make the last pick,
and there are only two guys remaining.
One is Raef Lafrentz, and the other is
One is Raef Latrentz, and the other is Dael Bickertz.
Paul Pierce.
This is a dilemma.
My decision is...Paul Pierce.
Who do you pick if you want to win?
Spencer Duncan
sports@kansan.co
In fact, my vote for Big 12 Player of the Year would have gone to Pierce. Actually, the teammates should have shared the award.
Don't misunderstand me: LaFrentz is one of the top players in the country. He will be in the top three of the draft selection and will have an excellent NBA career.
He has proven that there are few better than him.
But understand this: Pierce is also one of the best players in the country. He, too, will be a top draft choice and also will have an excellent NBA career.
But if you are building a team and have to choose between these players, Pierce would be the first choice.
Here's my reasoning.
Everybody loves statistics, so we'll start there.
Pierce has led the team in scoring 16 times, LaFrentz 15. (Yes, I know LaFrentz was injured and missed some opportunities, but stay with me.)
LaFrentz averages 20.4 points and 11.4 rebounds per game, only slightly above Pierces 20.1 points and seven rebounds per contest.
Look at the other comparisons (Every number is a per game average)
Assists LaFrentz1, Pierce 23
Blocks LaFrentz1, Pierce 1
Steals - LaFrentz less than one, Pierce 1.
Three-point field goals — LaFrentz has hit eight this season, but he has attempted only 15. Pierce, on the other hand, has been a consistent threat from the arch, hitting 34 shots on 91 attempts.
Free-throw percentage — LaFrentz 74. Pierce 75.
He has proven he can be a threat from anywhere on the floor, not just a few feet from the basket, where LaFrentz rules.
And Pierce has kept this up through 34 games, while LaFrentz has played in just 25.
All these numbers show is that the two are almost even. The edge, however, has to go to Pierce.
Maybe the biggest difference is that Pierce is raw and unpredictable. Will he shoot a three-pointer, drive the ball, hit an outside jumper or take it in for a dunk?
I understand LaFrentz was hurt, but when he went down, Pierce was the team leader.
Go beyond the statistics.
Pierce is also more of a floor leader. His teammates know it, he knows it and LaFrentz knows it.
You almost never know.
LaFrentz is more refined: almost all his shots are going to come from under the basket or be turnaround jumpers.
Pierce's style is more difficult to defend, making him a more dangerous player.
I'm not knocking LaFrentz. But the Big 12 Player of the Year award should have gone to both players. Kansas is where it is because of both of them, not just one of them.
And admit it: Deep down, if you had to pick one for your team, you would take Pierce. too.
After all, I hear he plays great playground ball.
Duncan is a Topeka senior in journalism.

A new year brings rewards of dedication and motivation. Don't lose sight of your goals, this is the year that your plans will take definite shape.
Aries: Today is a 5.
A full schedule has no place for health crises, but that could be what caused them in the first place. Embracing problems may not be the best solution.
Taurus: Today is an 8.
Take the good with the bad and choose wisely. Others prove to be unreliable and results seem unclear. Postpone big decisions that absolutely do not have to be made at this time.
Gemini: Today is a 6.
Compromise is always better than continued hostilities. You can tap untold energy today. You may have to spend everything just to finish with your patience in fact.
Cancer: Today is a 4.
This is your day to bet against the slings and arrows of fortune. Take a chance and do something crazy. Not everyone agrees with your opinions, but at least you are getting noticed.
Leo: Today is a 5.
Everyone is in a huge hurry today. Ego clashes in public places could get ugly. This is not a good day for relaxation or cheating traffic laws.

Scorpio: Today is a 9.

BOXING PROMOTER DON KING
ROBED IN MEXICO CITY:
MEXICO CITY —Don King, despite his conspicuous presence, is certain that armed bandits had no idea who he was when they robbed him of his gold watch.
"Had they known I was Don King, I'm confident they never would have stopped me," the boxing promoter said yesterday.
King and others were robbed of their watches Tuesday night. They were in Mexico for Saturday night's super lightweight title bout between Julio Cesar Chavez and Miguel Angel Gonzalez. King said it all happened within a couple of minutes near their hotel.
King described his diamond-studded

gold watch, reported to be a Rolex worth $10,000, as "a shiny doodad ... a gaudy little thing that sparkles; nothing of significance."
"The watch is meaningless. Your life is everything." King said. "I'm very thankful to them for not hurting the people who were with me."
Although the boxing impresario appeared shaken, his easily recognized hairdo was unruffled.

King said that in 30 years of traveling in Mexico, he never had felt unsafe and that Tuesday night's trouble was an isolated incident that could happen in any country.
At a news conference yesterday, Chavez said he wanted to make up for the problem. Laughing heartily, he presented King with a new watch — a cheap one made of black plastic.

Sim lost K-State loyalty
KU senior adds team leadership to tennis court
1
By Erin Thompson
Kansan sportswriter
The only Kansas native on the women's tennis team, Christie Sim, once had loyalties to a certain school in Manhattan. Kan.
She never thought she would play at Kansas.
The senior grew up in Lea-
wood, just a stone's throw from
Lawrence. But Sim grew up
watching and cheering for
Kansas State University, where
her sister Suzanne played tennis.
"I didn't want to go to KU at all.
My entire family went to K-State," she said. "I grew up not
really liking KU. Plus, I wanted
to go somewhere far away from
home."
Now, not only is she a part of the program, but also she is a team leader and shares time at the No.1 singles spot.
When recruiting began in high school, Sim met former Kansas tennis coach Chuck Merzbacher, and he convinced her to come to Lawrence.
"She provides leadership along with Kylie Hunt at the top," said Kansas tennis coach Roland Thornqvist. "It's the fourth year for both, and they add a lot of leadership. They feed off each other."
Kansas women's tennis player Christie Sim, who splits time at the No. 1 singles spot with senior Kylie Hunt, prepares for a game with a practice session at Alvamar Raquet Club. Sim, who has won more than 40 matches, will play at 6 p.m. Friday at Alva mar. Photo by Eileen Bakri / KANSAN
Sim attended Shawnee Mission South High School, where she
The call of the courts came to Sim at 6 years old when she began playing at the Kansas City Racquet Club. When she was 12, Sim switched to the Alvamar Racquet Club, and two years later she was traveling to Lawrence every day to practice with her coach, Mike Wolfe.
"I always just loved it," she said. "I played every kind of sport growing up, and then I started quitting the others. I always played tennis and softball, but in seventh grade I quit softball and concentrated on tennis."
won state championships in 1992 and 1993. In 1993, she was named the Kansas high school player of the year.
During her first two seasons at Kansas, Sim won more than 40 matches at No.2 singles. But when Hunt injured her knee, Sim moved to the No.1 singles position.
In her year at the top spot, Sim won the Big 12 singles title, the No. 2 doubles title with teammate Kris Sell and was selected to the Big 12 All-Conference team.
The experience at No.1 helped Sim improve all aspects of her game.
"She learned a lot playing one as a junior against the tough national competition we play." Thornqvist said. "This year, we've seen a growth in her expectations and her belief that she can win. With her experience, she knows she can play with the top tier of college tennis. This
belief has allowed her to settle down and play her game."
Sim is climbing the Rolex College Tennis Rankings and has reached 25th in the nation. In the poll released Dec. 9, Sim jumped from No. 90 to No. 29, one of the largest jumps ever in college tennis.
This season, Sim set high expectations for the team and for herself. Her goals include winning the Big 12 team and individual titles, obtaining a No.1 team ranking in the region and qualifying for the NCAA Championships.
"As far as the team goals, I think we can do them." Sim said. "We're playing really well right now. Individually, I think I can do it."
Sim does not have definite plans for after graduation. She said her plans may include studying abroad or playing more tennis.

Sprewell suspension reduced; contract intact
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Latrell Sprewell won a $16.3 million victory, but lost his fight to return to the NBA this season.
The battle about Sprewell's attack on his coach concluded yesterday as an arbitrator overturned the Golden State Warriors' termination of his contract and reduced a one-year suspension imposed by the National Basketball Association.
Sprewell's suspension will end July 1, five months earlier than the league wanted, and he will be paid $16.3 million during the next two seasons — whether he returns to the Warriors or he is traded.
"I find that a penalty of 68 games is commensurate with the severity of the misconduct, addresses the wrong done to the head coach and conveys a message that violence in
the NBA will be dealt with severely but always with due regard to principles of fairness," arbitrator John Feerkick wrote.
The decision was a big defeat for the Warriors and a setback for the league office.
"The arbitrator is a very charitable man, and he made a charitable decision in respects to Mr. Sprewell," said David Stern, NBA commissioner.
It was not a total victory for Sprewell because he was hoping to return to the league this season.
Now, the choice of where to play is out of his hands. His future will not be known until the Warriors trade him, which they are expected to do this summer.
"The reinstatement is probably going to make two parties unhappy, Mr. Sprewell and Golden State," Stern said.
Sprewell's attack on Golden State coach P.J. Carlesimo at practice Dec. 1 ignited a national debate about issues of authority, sportsmanship, out-of-control athletes and fair punishment.
His one-year suspension was by far the longest ever imposed by
NBA
the league for a nondrug-related offense, and the termination of his contract also was unprecedented.
The arbitrator upheld many of the NBA's arguments but thought the punishment was excessive.
Stern reacted with some biting comments toward the arbitrator.
"I think the fundamental point is whether you can strike your boss and still hold your job. The answer is that you cannot strike your boss and still hold your job — unless you play in the NBA and are subject to arbitrator Feerick's decision," Stern said.
Sprewell was informed of the decision by lawyers from the players' union.
"We are happy Latrell has his contract back," said his agent, Arn Tellem. "We are disappointed that he will not be able to resume his NBA career until July 1."
His return is subject to the NBA receiving assurances from Sprewell and the player's association that he will control his temper.
Stern cited the "premidated" nature of the attack when he issued the one-year suspension, but the arbitrator rejected that and said
Sprewell's two attacks, which took place 10-20 minutes apart, should be treated as one incident.
Still, the arbitrator upheld the commissioner's right to impose a considerable penalty when behavior warrants it.
"The stakes have been considerably raised in terms of what the commissioner will be able to do," Stern said. "The next one is going to be a lot more than $6 million, there's no question about that."
The Warriors argued that they had the right to terminate Sprewell's contract under Section 16 of the uniform player contract, which says players must conform to standards of good citizenship and good character and prohibits engaging in acts of moral turpitude.
Feerick said the two attacks, when treated as one single altercation, did not constitute an act of moral turpai-
tude.
Stern said that part of the ruling was "incomprehensible."
The reinstatement of Sprewell's contract means he will be paid during the final two years of his contract, although he still will lose $6.4 million in 1997-98 salary.
The Warriors can trade him at the conclusion of the season. By having his contract count against the salary cap, the Warriors lost the opportunity to use that money to sign a free agent next summer.
If Sprewell's suspension had been reduced to time served and his contract had not been reinstated, he would have become a free agent immediately.
"The worst thing that could have happened would be if he were allowed to perform for another team this season and then go to the playoffs or the finals," Stern said.

Texas faces season finale
Longhorns must win Big 12 title to continue play
The Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas — Texas coach Tom Penders read a Sports Illustrated article last week that said Tennessee women's basketball coach Pat Summitt sometimes locked players out of the locker room if they did not perform well.
"If I did that with our young players, they would leave," said Penders, who has suffered his second losing season (12-16, 6-10 Big 12) in 10 years at Texas.
"We're going through a tough time that will pay off next year," he said. "If I go bananas and throw them out of practice and get so upset with them that we lose them mentally, then it's totally unproductive."
It has been a struggle for Penders this season. He missed the first two games after having a defibrillator and pacemaker implanted in his chest to monitor an enlarged heart. The team was plagued with knee and shoulder injuries suffered by the team's leading scoreer Kris Clack (18 points per game) and
back and hamstring injuries suffered by freshman three-point ace Luke Axtell, who averaged 14 points per game
And of the five players who received the most playing time this season, one was a sophomore, Gabe Muoneke, and three were freshmen — Chris Mihm, Bernard Smith and Axell.
Penders has taken teams to postseason tournaments 15 of the past 17 years, including an appearance in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament last year.
But his Longhorns will need to win the Big 12 tournament beginning with a first-round game against Texas Tech today to reach the postseason this year.
"We're a young basketball team." Penders said. "I'm not trying to make excuses for them. But I feel extremely optimistic about our future."
Penders is quick to point out that eight teams that reached the round of 16 in the NCAA tournament last year had records that were worse or the same as Texas' record.
The team appeared to hit a low point after Mihm, a 7-foot freshman from Austin Westlake, and his father questioned Penders about why Mihm played less than 30 seconds in the final 13:25 of an 81-74 loss at home to Oklahoma on Feb. 8.
Penders said it was because
Y
Mihm had four fouls. Rumors began that Mihm was considering transferring. But after the discussion with Penders, the freshman center began getting the ball more and making the most of it, averaging 16 points and 11 rebounds in the final six games of the season.
Mihm, who set a school record for blocks in a season (81), squashed talk that he might leave and is one of the top candidates to lead the team next season.
"If there's a better freshman big man in the country, I want to know." Penders said.
Mihm defended the team, which lost six games after holding a double-digit lead and suffered the worst home loss under Penders, a 102-72 defeat by Kansas on Jan. 10.
Penders, who last suffered a losing season in 1993 (11-17), says his own health is improving.
"My heart has strengthened, and I feel good," said the 52-year-old coach. "I just signed a new six-year contract last year, and the only way I don't get paid is if I quit. And I don't plan on quitting."
Neither cart nor game rusty
The Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas - Casey Martin rediscovered his lost golf game.
The disabled golfer, who has not played much because of his lawsuit against the PGA Tour, showed yesterday in a Pro-Am for the Greater Austin Open why he is a threat to leave the Nike Tour and join the bigtime.
Despite high winds on the Jack Nicklaus-designed Hills of Lakeway course, Martin drove well, hit beautiful knock-down iron shots and chipped and putted solidly.
Worried about his "rusty" game,
Martin was 1-under-par for 15 holes
— but that was all he played.
course because it had exceeded the round's time limit.
Martin, playing in his first event since a federal magistrate ruled Feb. 11 he could use a cart because of a damaged left leg, said: "I've already teed my ball up. Can't we play this hole?"
Tournament official Bob Hyde said no, so Martin signed autographs for his playing partners and spectators.
"I'm very optimistic about my play now," Martin said. "I only hit one bad drive today."
Martin's sudden fame has brought a cascade of endorsements and appearances on national television.
"I imagine the love affair will last as long as I play well," said Martin, who won the first Nike event of the
year, then missed the cut in the second one.
"It will fade quickly if I don't play good," he said. "It all depends now on the scores I shoot."
When play starts today, Martin can use his cart, with certain restrictions.
PGA Tour official Jim Duncan said Martin cannot have a roof on his cart or be protected from the elements.
"He can carry anything in the cart that you normally would on the golf course like a towel or a water battle," Duncan said.
Martin can drive on the fairway until such a point where the elements come into play.
"If it rains, he would have to stay on the cart path." Duncan said.

Duke top seed in ACC
Upsets probable in tournament, coaches predict
The Associated Press
RALEIGH, N.C. — Yes, there's Duke and North Carolina. And Mike Krzewski insists there's a whole lot more.
The coach of the top-ranked Blue Devils argues the Atlantic Coast Conference should send at least five teams to the NCAA tournament.
"It has been a unique year in the league," Krzyzewski said. "That's just not going to happen very often. As a result, the perception of the rest of the league is skewed.
"The league is the best in the country. I don't see any type of scenario — ever — where the ACC should get less than five teams."
The rest of the conference gets a chance to prove its worth starting today, when the opening round of the ACC tournament in Greensboro starts.
Duke and North Carolina are seeded first and second respectively. The top two seeds in the ACC have met 18 times in 44 tournament title games. Eleven of those match ups occurred before 1975.
Although Duke and North Carolina dominated league play, several coaches say another showdown between the powers is far from guaranteed.
"You can probably get some pretty good odds in Las Vegas that that won't happen," North Carolina coach Bill Guthdroide said. "It would
be a bad mistake for us, for Duke or for anyone to assume that's going to happen.
Added Wake Forest coach Dave Odom, "This tournament is, if anything, a tournament of surprises. This year with the unusual, high parity in the middle of the league, the chance of a major surprise being sprung in the early rounds certainly exists, and it could be at the expense of one of the top two teams."
That happened last season, when Duke was the No. 1 seed and was knocked off in the quarterfinals by No. 8 seed North Carolina State, which reached the title game before losing to the Tar Heels.
The 45th annual tournament has a new format, and will be without Dean Smith for the first time in 36 seasons.
The ACC eliminated the Thursday game between the No. 8 and No. 9 seeds, choosing first round games against No. 7 vs. No. 8 and No. 1 vs. No. 9.
North Carolina State plays Florida State while Virginia takes on Duke. The winner of the latter game gets a bye into Saturday's semifinals.
There are three games Friday. No 3 seed Maryland takes on No. 6 seed Georgia Tech, followed by No. 2 seed North Carolina playing the winner of Thursday's first game. Then Wake Forest meets No. 5 seed Clemson.
Duke is riding the emotion of its 77-75 comeback victory over North Carolina last Saturday.
"We're a better team, by far, than we were last year." Krzvieseki said.
"Last year the team did an incredible job to win the ACC regular season
"It has been a unique year in the league. That's just not going to happen very often."
Mike Krzyzewski
Duke men's basketball coach
but they had to extend so much energy that we were worn out. And we weren't that good. We were a good team, but not an outstanding team. I feel much better with this team."
The Tar Heels have lost a little momentum, losing at home to North Carolina State and then to Duke in the last week.
"Anytime you lose it shakes the confidence a little bit," Guthridge said. "We'll have to find out the results."
The league's balance was demonstrated Sunday when Wake Forest's victory over North Carolina State gave the Demon Deacons a fourthplace finish. A loss would have dropped them to eighth.
"I'm not sure we feel like a fourth seed, but here we are." Odom said. "I hope we play like a fourth seed and show what we're capable of doing."
Wake Forest is one of four teams in the middle of the standings that finished with a losing record in the league, has 12 losses overall and is hoping for an NCAA at large bid.
"I've told our team in my opinion we're not in," Odom said. "Every possession is important."
The same can be said for almost everyone but Duke and North Carolina.
Rutgers upsets Mountaineers in opening round of tourney
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Eric Clark had 19 points and nine rebounds to lead Rutgers to a 72-65 upset yesterday of No. 23 West Virginia in the opening round of the Big East tournament.
The 12th-seeded Scarlet Knights (13-14) will meet 13th-seeded Georgetown, which beat Miami 62-56, in today's quarterfinals. Rutgers never had won a Big East tournament game, losing its opener in its first two seasons in the league.
The loss could be damaging to the NCAA tournament hopes of the fifth-seeded Mountaineers (22-8), who have lost three straight and five of the last eight games.
Rutgers won with defense, holding West Virginia to one field goal during a nine-minute stretch of the second half and to five field goals during the last five minutes, two of which were three-pointers in the final 30 seconds.
16. The Scarlet Knights lost three of four games to close the regular season.
Geoff Billet added 17 points and seven assists for the Scarlet Knights, while Earl Johnson had
Greg Jones led West Virginia with 18 points on 6-of-18 shooting, while Brent Solheim had 13 points. The Mountaineas finished 24-of-66 from the field (36.4 percent), including 6-of-18 from three-point range.
Rutgers led 34-27 at halftime, but West Virginia opened the second half with a 10-3 run to tie the game at 37-37 with 16:40 to play. The Mountaineers were ahead 48-42 with 11:11 left when Rutgers went on a 12-2 run, taking the lead for good during the spurt.
Jones' three-point shot with 5:22 left brought West Virginia within 57-55. The closest West Virginia would get the rest of the way was 69 with 2:40 left as the Scarlet Knights went 7-of-12 from the foul line.
The win was Rutgers' third of the season against a ranked team — it also beat Temple and Syracuse — the first time that has happened in the school's history.

Oklahoma State's Sutton named Big 12 coach of year
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Eddie Sutton ought to know a thing or two about conference coach-of-the-year awards.
In 27 years, he had won six in three different leagues. Now, in the 28th year of a much-honored career, the Oklahoma State coach has won seven awards in four leagues.
A panel of 24 media representatives, noting his 21-5 record with a team most expected to finish no higher than seventh, made him an easy winner today of The Associated Press Big 12 coach of the year award.
"The problem with these things is the assistant coaches and the players don't get the recognition they deserve," Sutton said, who was previously chosen top coach with Arkansas in the Southwest Conference, Kentucky in the Southeastern Conference and Oklahoma State in the Big Eight.
The former Oklahoma State player under the legendary Henry Iba drew 20 votes, while three went to Kansas' Roy Williams and one to Kelvin Sampson of Oklahoma.
Even Sutton, the only man to take four different teams to the NCAA tournament, admits that his 1997-98 Cowboys have had a Cinderella year.
"It's been a fun year. Any time you surpass what everybody predicts your team will do, it's satisfying." Sutton said. "We're a young team, but they have made a lot of progress. I knew we were
oSu
than last." Like a master mechanic building a
race car out of spare parts, Sutton created a team that's ranked No. 25 and certain to be the 19th in his 28 years to reach the NCAA tournament. The Cowboys wound up 11-5 in the league, tied with Oklahoma for runner-up behind Kansas (15-1). They edged the Sooners for a No. 2 seed in the Big 12 tournament via a tie breaker.
The biggest improvement from last year came at point guard when Doug Gottlieb became eligible after sitting out a year. Gottlieb was voted the AP's Big 12 newcomer of the year after leading the conference with seven
In addition, senior Brett Robisch, a power forward who had averaged 9.8 points the year before, was moved to center and averaged about 16 points and nine rebounds.
assists per game.
Adrian Peterson, a 6-foot-4 junior, also thrived in the new lineup and averaged more than 17 points and was named, along with Robisch, to the AP's second team All-Big 12.
The Cowboys went undefeated in February for the first time since 1940. Their 11 conference victories are the school's most since the 1964-65 team went 12-2.
Along the way, Sutton became only the 20th Division I coach in NCAA history with 600 wins. Only six others reached 600 wins in 28 years. Sutton will take a career record of 608-239 into the Big 12 tournament tomorrow.
"I've been very blessed," he said. "I can look back at every one of those teams and think they were a very special group. Mr. iba told me a long time ago you can't coach character. If you've got good people, then even in defeat you can live with it, knowing they gave their all."
Iowa State must harness power of Tigers' large Hardge tonight
The Associated Press
If Hardge plays a considerable amount of minutes in tonight's first-round game at Kemper Arena, Iowa State will have a much tougher time. The Cyclones like to go inside, and Hardge takes up a considerable amount of space.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The key in Iowa State's Big 12 tournament game with Missouri is easy to find because at 6-feet-11 and 330 pounds, Missouri's Monte Hardge tends to stand out even in a crowd of basketball players.
MARK RUSSELL
But if he is watching from the bench, as he did when Iowa State beat Missouri in Ames, the Cyclones will have a much better chance.
"Hardge was a tremendous influence in our game in Ames," Iowa State coach Tim Floyd said. "When he fouled out, we were able to play better. Knowing we like to go inside with it, it certainly will be an important part of the game how we attack him."
Hardge: big man could stop Iowa State's inside game
Three weeks later in Columbia, Fizer made just three of 11 shots and scored nine points in a 63-56 loss. Hard ge played 22 minutes in that game and was much more effective.
Hardge fouled out in Ames after being charged with a personal foul and a technical foul with only 1:22 gone in the second half. Iowa State's Marcus Fizer, had a lot more room to maneuver inside after that. The Cyclones won 75-62.
Missouri coach Norm Stewart said he thought that the technical on Hardge in Ames was unfair. Two days after that game, Stewart later complained that officials were picking on his massive center.
"I don't think he got frustrated (in the Ames)," Stewart said. "I think the person who called the technical on him got frustrated.
"I've never seen him get out of control on the floor," he said. "If Monte Hardge got out of control, you might have to (call) security."
Iowa State (12-17), the 11th seed in the tournament, failed to win a road game in the league, the first time that has happened in Floyd's 15 years as a coach.
After winning back-to-back
games in mid-February, the Cyclones lost their last three, finishing the regular season with 70-62 loss to Nebraska at home.
"We just have to keep our heads up," Iowa State's Klay Edwards said. "You never know, we could make a run in the Big 12 tournament and finish out the year on a pretty good note."
Stewart said he thought his team did not get many calls against Iowa State, which is 2-0 under Floyd against Missouri (16-13) in conference tournament play.
"Iowa State always seems to shoot about five times as many free throws," Stewart said. "I don't think they can play that flawlessly on defense. There can't be that much difference."
Floyd always had relied on getting more free throws than the opponent as part of his formula for winning away from home. That has not happened this season. Nor have the Cyclones executed other parts of that formula.
"Typically on the road you have to defend, you have to rebound and at times, you have to be able to play with a patience level in order to take the crowd out of the game," Floyd said. "This team has not been able to do that effectively all season long."

BIG 12 CONFERENCE
With all of that in the Lady Raiders' favor, Angie Braziel and her teammates still were not overlooking the Buffs. That was evident in Tech's 80-49 win yesterday afternoon at Municipal Auditorium.
"We knew they were going to come out ready to play, and we had to do the same thing," said Braziel, who had game highs with 23 points and 12 rebounds. "We had to get focused and stay that way... I think we did."
Brazil and Alicia Thompson, who had 21 points and five rebounds, dominated the Buffaloes (12-16), holding them to 35 percent shooting from the field.
Colorado led early, but with the game tied at 13 the Buffaloes missed nine of their next 10 shots and committed six turnovers as the Lady Raiders went on a 25-4 run over the next nine minutes.
Texas Tech led 46-30 at half-
time.
Colorado then scored just two points over a seven-minute span to open the second half. The Lady Raiders held them to 19 second-half points, and just six in the final 11 minutes.
Kami Carmann led Colorado with 12 points and La Shena Graham had 10.
Tech, which received a first- round by as the tournament's top seed, plays today in the semifinals against Oklahoma State, which upset No. 25 Nebraska.

Anna DeForge scored 29 points to lead Nebraska (22-9), which never got back in the game after falling behind 32-9.
Three Huskers — Jami Kubik, Nicole Kubik and Brooke Schwartz — fouled out toward the end of the game, leaving Nebraska shorthanded.
The Cowgirls shot 50 percent from the field and made 25-of-33 free throws in a game marred by 49 fouls.

Eastern Michigan tops MAC championship
The Associated Press
TOLEDO, Ohio — Earl Boykins scored 29 points and directed traffic inside and out as Eastern Michigan beat Miami of Ohio 82-77 yesterday night to win the Mid-American Conference championship and a spot in the NCAA tournament.
the fourth-seeded Eagles (20-9), winners of four in a row and 11 of their last 13, got revenge for losing in last year's MAC title game to the RedHawks. They were appearing in a record fourth straight conference final.
The skinny, 5-foot-5 guard set a three-game tournament scoring record with 89 points, breaking the mark of 86 set by Miami's Ron Harper in 1985. Boykins was an unanimous selection as the tournament MVP.
Derrick Dial added 22 points, James Head 13, Jon Zajac 12 and Nkechi Ezugwu 10 for Eastern, which hit 34-of-67 shots from the field (51 percent).
Boykins added seven assists, three rebounds and a steal.
Wally Szczerbkiak had 26 points and 12 rebounds for seventh-seeded Miami (17-12), while Damon Frierson had 18 points, John Stickel 14 and Refilloe
Lethunya had 10.
It was the third game without coach Charlie Coles for
NCAA
the redHawks. In Saturday's quarterfinal upset at second-seeded Western Michigan, Coles suffered a first-half heart attack. He remains hospitalized.
Boykins scored 35 points and sealed a 93-92 victory against Ball State in Tuesday's semifinal by stripping Ball State's Lamont Roland as he dribbled in for a possible go-ahead basket with 10 seconds left in overtime.
The littlest player on the court saved some magic for the championship game.
After hitting two free throws, he made three straight 15-foot jumpers, then scored on a layup off a fast-break assist from Corey Tarrant.
Boykins dazzled near the end of the first half, scoring all of Eastern's points in a 10-4 run that expanded the Eagles' lead from 32-28 to 42-32.
He put a capper on the surge by beating a defender, encountering a wall of other defenders and bouncing a pass to a wide open Ezugwu for a dunk at the 1:17 mark that made it 44-34.
Ahead 46-36 at the break, Eastern maintained a lead of at least eight points until Boykins led them on another run.
Boykins rolled off a high pick and hit a three-pointer at the 10:38 mark to put the Eagles ahead 68-54. After a missed Miami free throw, he drove directly at 6-foot-10 Rich Allendorf and looped in a 10-footer for a 70-54 lead.
When Dial came off another pick at the arc to hit a 3-pointer and the accompanying foul shot at the 7.28 mark, Eastern was on top 76-56.
Dial had been the story early on, hitting his first four shots — all on 3-pointers — as the Eagles zipped to a 15-5 lead. Miami, running with the smaller and deeper Eagles, got as close as 30-28 on Szczerbiak's 18-footer with 6:38 left in the half.
Miami became the fifth No. 7 seed to make it to the finals; all have lost. The RedHawks came into the game on a five-game winning streak.
The lead never fell below 12 again.
Villanova outlasts Pittsburgh, wins game after double overtime
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Howard Brown nailed a three-point shot as time ran out in the second overtime yesterday night, lifting Villanova to a 96-93 victory against Pittsburgh in the Big East tournament.
The victory earned the Wildcats (12-16) a quarterfinal matchup with Syracuse tonight.
Vontego Cummings scored 37 points for Pittsburgh (11-16) including a three-pointer with just more than one second left in regulation to force the first overtime. Then John Celestand's three-pointer at the end of that five-minute extra period tied it for Villanova and forced the second extra period.
After Villanova responded with an 8-0 run, Pitt came back again, finally catching the Wildcats at 75-75 on a three-pointer by Ricardo Greer, who finished with 23 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists.
Pitt's Jarrett Lockhart hit a three-point shot at the start of the overtime for his first points of the second half, and the Panthers hung onto the lead until Celandstand's three-pointer tied it again at 88, forcing the second overtime.
Pittsburgh trailed by 12 points at halftime, 48-36, but kept chipping away at Villanova's lead.

Kansas baseball team coming alive despite inconsistencies
Catcher Josh Dimmick slapped three hits, including a home run, and drove in four runs. Designated hitter John Nelson, third baseman Sparky Wilhelm and left fielder Brett Kappelmann each had three hits and Brian Schriner allowed three earned runs in five innings, picking up his second win of the season.

Kansas baseball's home game yesterday against Hastings College was representative of its 5-6 season: inconsistent but, at times, a combination of prolific hitting with average fielding and pitching.
He said he 'was pleased with several of the players' hitting, including shortstop John Nelson and second baseman Andy Juday.

"Our record is very average thus far, and we have only recently started to play well," Randall said. "We need to improve a great deal before getting into the thick of the conference schedule."
Kansas coach Bobby Randall said that despite the victory, his team was behind where he hoped they would be at this point in the season.
"We showed flashes of playing the kind of baseball I expect last weekend against Oklahoma State." Randall said.
Catcher Shane Wedd, like other inexperienced players, has had trouble adjusting to the college game.
"John and Andy have done a good job of getting on base and setting up run scoring opportunities," Randall said.
Other players have come on in the past couple of weeks. Outfielder Clint Wyrick had five hits in three games last weekend, and first baseman Randy Case pounded two home runs Saturday.
Kansas pitchers also have been more effective lately. Randall said they were allowing too many bases-on-balls early in the season.
"Our staff is more competitive this year," Randall said. "We only have to use the guys that have been getting people out."
"I'm just not trusting my abilities," Wedd said. "We're all learning quickly what it takes to play at the highest level of college baseball."

While the Jayhawks play today at noon, professors may find their classes a little less crowded as students head for a TV
KU

Kansas staff writer
David Fredrikss, Dallas freshman, would like to take this time to extend a warning to all University instructors.
Your classrooms may be a little emptier today, he said.
At noon today, the Big 12 Conference Tournament will roll on the Kansas men's basketball team challenges Kansas State. Although University classes are in session, many students plan to watch the game instead.
Fredriks said he planned to miss his communications class so he could watch the game.
"If I had a test, I wouldn't skip," he said. "But you can't miss out on KU basketball."
However, the University shouldn't cancel class for the Big 12 Tournament, Fredriks said.
"Only if we make the Final Four, there should be no class," he said.
Katie Peters, Wichita junior,
said she was going to Henry
T's Bar & Grill, 3520 W. Sixth
"It has a big screen, big table,
good beer and good food," she said.
"You can't beat that."
St., to watch the game.
Joel Suarez, Topea freshman, said he would miss his math class and watch the game at The Crossing, 618 W 12th St. Suarez said most of his math class was planning to meet at the bar, too. His instructor would not penalize students who do not attend today, he said.
Other bars are opening early today for the game. Bryan Hart, manager of Harbour Lights, 1031 Massachusetts St., said the bar was opening at noon.
"The teacher didn't expect many people to be there because of the game," he said. "He told us to go ahead and go."
"We normally open at 2:30," he said. "We'll probably get the regulars at lunch time and the students at night."
Suarez said he was going to The Crossing because it opens at 11 a.m.
The Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., will open early for the game. The doors will open at
noon and the game will be on the big screen, said Josh Martin, manager of the Granada.
"We'll have free popcorn and drink specials," he said. "We will be really busy at the end of the tournament because we have the biggest screen in town."
Luther Pololom, executive chef at Sports Page Brewery, 3512 Clinton Parkway, said the restaurant was not opening earlier but had scheduled a breakfast special in honor of the game. The restaurant opens at 11:00 a.m., and food and alcohol will be served.
"We are expecting a little more than we usually get," Pololom said.
Cory Johnson, Emporia senior, said he did not have class scheduled during the game. He said he had classes later in the afternoon and

Regents chairman opposes new plan
By Brandon Copple
bcopple@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Most universities aren't crazy about it, the governor keeps badmouthing it and the Board of Regents hates it, but the House committee is through tinkering with it, and the plan to reform higher education in Kansas is headed to the House floor.
The House Select Committee on Higher Education put the finishing touches on the plan last night after hearing public comment from higher-education officials.
Bob Talkington,Board of Regents Chairman, opened the comment session by telling the committee the Regents could not support the plan so long as it called for their own abolition.
The plan would replace the Board of Regents with a Council on Higher Education to govern the state's universities and coordinate operations among all institutions of higher education.
Talkington noted that a provision in the plan said the Council would be essentially a continuation of the Board of Regents.
"Well, if you want a continuation of the Board of Regents, then don't abolish it," he said. "We can get coordination and do it within the framework we have now for a lot less money than is proposed here."
The plan proposes about $140 million for property tax relief and enhancements at the universities. In the first two years, the bulk of the funds would go to community colleges in order to reduce their

Fire damages area home for a second time
The Lawrence Fire Department responded at 5:46 a.m. yesterday to a fire at 917 Ohio St., said Battalion Chief Jerry Karr.
He said firefighters had the blaze extinguished about half an hour after arriving.
"We arrived with a ladder truck and two medical vehicles, and we could see fire and smoke from outside the building." Karr said.
The house is owned by Gary and Julia Weeks, Lawrence residents. No one was living in the house because of another fire that damaged their house last fall
"The family had no insurance on the house," Karr said, "so we're estimating a loss of about $1,000."
Karr said the Weeks family had applied for permission to demolish the house after the first fire, and demolition was certain now.
The cause of the fire had not been determined at press time, but Karr said they had ruled out electricity and gas as the cause of the blaze.
Lawrence resident reports hearing two gunshots
Gunshots were reported in the 500 block of Mississippi Street early Wednesday morning. Lawrence police said.
Sgt. George Wheeler said a resident of the block contacted police after 1 a.m. to report hearing two gunshots. He said officers contacted the resident, who then called back moments later and reported hearing a third shot fired.
"Officers arrived on the scene, and while interviewing the resident, they heard another shot fired," Wheeler said.
Police investigated the area, but found no evidence of the possible gunshots. Wheeler said there are no suspects.
Some Lawrence area teachers might be a little more cautious of their students because of two recent batteries committed in local schools.
A teacher at Woodlawn Elementary School, 508 Elm St., was punched and bitten by an 8-year-old student at 2:50 p.m. Tuesday, said Srt. George Wheeler.
"The kid was out of control, and the teacher tried to calm him," Wheeler said.
The boy then punched the teacher on the right cheek, he said. The teacher grabbed the boy, and he bit her arm.
The teacher was treated at Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
Another battery occurred Monday in Central Junior High School, 1400 Massachusetts St., involving three students.
Wheeler said a 16-year-old girl was battered between 9:52 and 9:55 a.m. Monday, when she got into a fight with two 14-year-old girls.
A teacher tried to intervene, but one of the 14-year-olds threatened to strike her.
"They didn't attack the teacher," Wheeler said. "They left the school without permission."
KBI heroin investigation may lead to KU students
The investigation of a local heroin distribution ring continues, and Dan Dunbar, Douglas County Assistant District Attorney, said three University of Kansas students may be charged for involvement.
One of the students was scheduled to appear in Douglas County District Court yesterday, but Dunbar said the appearance was canceled because charges had not been filed.
"The KBI haven't turned in their reports yet, and they determine what, if any, charges will be filed," Dunbar said.
Scott Teeselink, special agent for the
Kansas Bureau of Investigation, said there was no timetable on the completion of the reports.
"I don't know when all the lab work and investigations are going to be done," he said.
Dunbar said when he received the KBI's information, he would examine it to determine if charges needed to be filed against any of the students.
"I don't have one report right now, so I have very little knowledge of the case or what's going to happen with it," he said.
Woman falsely reports rape to Lawrence police
One of the women who reported a rape to Lawrence police last weekend was arrested Tuesday afternoon for falsely reporting a crime.
Sgt. George Wheeler said the woman, who was visiting from La Crescenta, Calif., admitted the report was fictitious.
The woman was detained in Douglas County Jail at 2:42 p.m. and posted bail two hours later.
"In the course of more questioning, she admitted that she made it up, and they arrested her," he said.
Wheeler said police were suspicious of the allegations the woman had made, which lead to the interview on Tuesday.
"There was no evidence to support her story, so we wanted to look into that further," he said.

Car fire blazes a trail into Jayhawker Towers lot
A flaming vehicle seemed to have a life of its own Wednesday morning when it rolled into a parked vehicle in the East Javbawker Towers lot.
The vehicle was destroyed, and caused minor damage to the parked vehicle, KU police said.
Tricia Moroney told police she was southbound on Burdick Drive, which runs between Jayhawker Towers and Green Hall, when she heard a pop under the hood and saw smoke. Moroney stopped the vehicle at the entrance of the Towers lot, turned off the car and went inside to call 911.
The fire caused the starter of the vehicle's motor to keep reengaging and it lurched forward 25 feet, KU police said.
Gary Baker, facilities operations equipment operator, was working near the Burge Union when he smelled smoke and saw the vehicle rolling forward.
He said he tried to get the vehicle out of gear, but was not able to stop it before it hit the parked vehicle.
Baker used an extinguisher from his truck to contain the fire until Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical personnel arrived.
It is not known if Moroney is a KU student.

Multicultural Night will end AASU festival
By Sara Anderson sanderson@kanson.com
Kanson staff writer
The Multicultural Night, "Taste of Asia," will be the Asian-American Festival's final event, helping to end the week with flare, said Yan Zeng, president of the Asian-American Student Union.
The presentation begins at 7 tomorrow night at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries Building, Admission is $3 and tickets are available at the SUA box office or by calling 864-4368. The event will feature traditional Asian food, song and dance performances, an information booth and a fashion show showing Asian costumes.
"This is a very new idea this year and we wanted to end the week with a big boom," Zeng said. "That's why we had it at the end of the week instead of the beginning."
Zeng, Winfield junior, said the festival's main goal was to promote unity throughout the Asian groups on campus, and the Multicultural Night was one way to accomplish this.
"There is so much variety between Asian cultures," she said. "The Multicultural Night is the first attempt to get all of the groups involved in one activity. We hope that through variety we can reach as many people as possible."
John Weroha, Lawrence senior and public relations chair for AASU, agreed. He said that many students did not understand the differences between the Asian culture.
"I think that lots of people just label Asians as Asians, just as one group," he said. "But there are so many, it's hard to label them as just one."
Zeng said she wanted the festival to include as many people as possible and teach them about Asian culture.
"The purpose is to educate and hopefully lots of people will come," she said. "Our goal is to get people interested in seeing the different cultures and to let them know we're here. We are bringing diversity to the KU campus."
Weroha said the week had gone well on the whole, but the Multicultural Night would be the real indication of the festival's success.
"It's gone really good and the only thing that didn't go through was the martial arts demonstration," he said. "We had our first speaker Wednesday night and had a good showing. The Multicultural Night will tell if the week has been successful. We've put most of our energy in it."

Students taste life on flip side of Hill
By Carl Kaminski

Kansas staff writer
About 30 students from fraternities, sororites and residence halls spent the night in scholarship halls and hung out with their hosts as part of a living exchange which started Wednesday and ended yesterday. Last night, many of the participants met in the Kansas Room of the Kansas Union to discuss the switch.
Greek and non-greek students began taking steps to learn about each other by walking in one another's shoes.
Bullard said he was surprised at how similar life was in fraternities and scholarship halls. He said the systems were alike in how the students cooked their own meals and were responsible for the building's maintenance.
"I thought they would be all alike," he said. "But there were some who were studious and some who wanted to go out and have a good time."
"I think it broke down a lot of misconceptions," said Chris Bullard, Overland Park sophomore. Bullard, a member of Sigma Nu, spent Wednesday night with members of Battenfeld Scholarship Hall.
L. B. Ernst, a member of Chi Omega and an Overland Park freshman, agreed. She said she was surprised at how similar the executive boards of the two organizations were and how much everyone had in
The only complaint students had about the exchange was its timing.
common.
Cesar Mori-Barba, Stephenson Scholarship Hall resident and Trujillo, Peru, freshman said because both he and his guest were older than 21, they got to know each other by going out to bars. He said he would have liked to spend more time during a weekend for the exchange.
Merchant and Anthony Nicholson, Overland Park senior, conceived the exchange. Merchant is the Panhellenic Association vice president for interfraternal relations and Nicholson is the Battenfield Scholarship Hall president.
They thought of the idea while at the Leadershape Institute retreat in January.
On April 1 and 2, fraternities and sororities will be hosting members of scholarship and residence halls, said Kristen Merchant, Lenexa junior. A third exchange, taking place on April 22 and 23, will have the residence halls as hosts.
Nicholson said he thought the program would be a good idea because there was not much interaction between greek and non-greek living organizations.
"Before I went to Leadershape I didn't really know a lot of people in the greek system." Nicholson said.
Merchant said she did not know any other University with a similar program.
"There's this big wall and nobody has thought about busting it before," she said.
Future of board causes concern

reliance on local property tax revenues. In a four-year period, the universities would receive about $80 million.
Committee members have argued the community colleges will not agree to be governed by the Regents.
Afterward, Talkington said the Regents had not had the opportunity to address the lack of trust apparently exhibited by the committee. The committee did not respond to Talkington's comments.
Officials from the community colleges, vocational-technical schools and Washburn University spoke in support of the plan, expressing only minor reservations.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway was present for Talkington's testimony, and afterward Talkington said he thought the universities supported the Regents' position despite the lure of enhanced funding.
The plan, now in bill form, will be discussed on the floor of the House next week. Two-thirds of the House must approve the constitutional amendment necessary to implement the plan.
Governor Bill Graves has expressed doubts about the plan's governance and funding provisions. His opposition could prevent the plan from gaining two-thirds approval in the Senate.
"I know there's been pressure on the universities with their budgets," Talkington said. "But I've been proud that the faculty hasn't been lured into supporting this plan by the carrot that this committee is holding out there."
Also, a House subcommittee completed its work on the Regents' appropriations bills.
The committee approved the technology matching fee requested by the University of Kansas, but it did not approve funding for health insurance for graduate teaching assistants.
Robinson survey seeks student input

The few minutes students take to complete a University of Kansas telephone survey could mean customizing the new addition to Robinson Center to their liking.
questions at 4 p.m. Tuesday at the Oread Room in the Kansas Union.
The board will finalize the survey
A random telephone survey of 500 students will be conducted after spring break. It will allow the committee improving Robinson to learn what students want from a recreational center said Mike Walden, Recreational Services Advisory Board chairman.
"We're looking to have recommendations by the end of the school year so that we can get cost estimates and feasibility studies done over the summer," Walden said.
So far, the decisions about additions to Robinson have been made by the board.
The board had planned to create a recreational center planning committee, but replaced it with an ad hoc committee.
The board changed the committee after Provost David Shulenburger expressed concern that previously planning committees had only been
formed when the University was ready to build a center.
This ad hoc committee would make recommendations concerning recreational facilities expansion, Walden said. The planned expansion will either make additions to the existing Robinson Center or build another center near Robinson to complement rather than replace it.
Activities, the finance and University Affairs committee.
The committee would also have included a representative from sports club council, a graduate student, non-traditional student and fine arts student.
The committee will include members of the Recreational Services Advisory Board, Nicole Skalla from the Campus Fee Review subcommittee; Dave Reynoldson, Student Senate assistant treasurer; Jim Long, director of the Kansas Union; and representatives from Student Union
Jennifer Buscher, Topeka sophomore, said she wanted more student input on the committee.
"I definitely think they need students from all areas and aspects of University life because those are the people who use Robinson," she said.
Walden said the board was always open to input and he could be contacted at either walden@ukans.edu or 864-3710.

Hats off to Chancellor Hemenway for helping students help themselves
Chancellor Robert Hemenway should be lauded for his effort to help Asian students affected by the financial crisis in the Pacific Rim.
Students from East Asia have felt the impact from the events that caused the headlines that most students only read in the Wall Street Journal. Some students' currency has been devalued by up to 80 percent — making it impossible to make ends meet.
Even though some students never realize it, the University community is an international community, with representatives from around the world. When tragedy and devastation strike abroad, it also hits close to home. These students are our neighbors, our teachers and our friends. And they deserve help.
He's offered to help find jobs for International students hurt by the financial crisis in East Asia
Enter Hemenway.
He has made a pledge to any student affected by the financial crisis in Asia—he will help them find a University job
Many international students are in this country on a visa that will not permit them to go get a job anywhere they like. So instead of working as a waiter or any other normal student job, most international students legally only can take a University job—like working in the library or in an academic department.
hienenway hasn't promised easy office work or some cushy "Special Valet to the Chancellor" post, he has promised any job he can find. But that means a paycheck, and that is what these students need.
It's hard to ask for help when you need money, even in cases where the circumstance are out of your control. No matter who you are or where you are from, it's tough to swallow your pride and ask for help when you are used to helping yourself. And if you can find a way to improve your situation mostly on your own, then you can even feel good about it
Helping these International students was a kind, decent thing to do, and we are proud of this act by Hemenway.
Our hats are off.

Delta Force senators did the right thing
The Delta Force senators did the right thing Wednesday night by not leaving the marathon Student Senate meeting early, and they deserve to be recognized for it.
Delta Force, a campaign coalition for Student Senate, officially kicked off Wednesday night at the Granada. Bands played, speeches were made, and maybe even some beer was consumed — by the legal, of-age drinkers, of course.
But some of the partyers got there late. About 12 of the Delta Force senators didn't arrive until well after the party had started, including Matt Dunbar, student senator and Delta Force vice presidential candidate. Student Senate lasted until 12:30 a.m., and the Delta Force members stayed through to the end.
We are glad to see that no one left the Student Senate meeting early to go politick
Emily Heath, Delta Force presidential candidate, had said that her senators wouldn't leave, and she proved to be as good as her word.
"It never was discussed that they would leave early," she said yesterday. "Senate, not campaigning, is their first priority." We agree.
Campaigning — or even just hanging out at the Granada and listening to The Norman 360 — is undoubtedly more fun than listening to Associate Provost Lindy Eakin answer questions about smart cards for two hours or debating emergency funding for Headquarters. And kickoff parties are especially fun for candidates.
Had the Delta Force senators left the meeting early, they would have sent a poor message — one indicating that they cared more about winning another seat than they do about the one they hold now. But instead they sent the
opposite message; that they are concerned and conscientious senators who will fulfill their obligations.
We didn't think that the kick off party should have been during Senate in the first place simply because of the temptation to drag senators away from their duties or to alter the agenda to suit their schedule. But this temptation was resisted, and we want to give credit when credit is due.

Don't gasp and ac- offended. Think of all the youngsters out there — ages 0 to 20 — who can't enjoy getting blitzed legally. It makes me sad to think about all of the brain
cells in this country that are actively functioning, instead of being vaporized by huge quantities of ethanol. It's time, my friends, to get the little kids hooked on booze.
get the little kids hooked on I think having alcohol readily available to grade schoolers would have a lot of advantages. First, there wouldn't be any danger of them getting into cars, driving crazily down the highway, and killing people. At worst, they might crash their bikes.
Parents and critics may argue that such a program would lower the life expectancy of children, thus depriving future ages of great authors, scientists, and teachers. To these well-intentioned, though misinformed, critics, I say, "Pah!" We're all going to die eventually anyway, and the universe will collapse in on itself in a few more billion years, so why sweat over these insignificant details?
Though I've seen some pretty nasty bike accidents in my time. I'm confident that significant head injuries could be avoided by wearing bicycle helmets. Perhaps liquor companies could include coupons for a free helmet on the labels of their products.
These arguments I'm making naturally lead into the thorny area of drug legalization. If I'm willing to call for the total banishing of any drinking age, then how do I feel about other substances that make people happy? I think the answer is obvious — we should hook children on as many substances as possible. That way they'll learn that the only true way to happiness is through a chemical of some kind. Think of how many years the average college student has wasted coming to this conclusion.
What's more, existing programs could be utilized to make sure kids are getting as addicted as possible. Drug-information classes such as D.A.R.E. could be overhauled to teach the best ways in which to take drugs. If we simply educated police officers in drug consumption, they could pass that knowledge on to the next generation of Americans.
I fear I digress, though. Sometimes the excitement of proposing policy changes carries me away. I would simply like to urge everyone who reads this — students, teachers, legislators, and ordinary folks — to remember the advantages of eliminating any age limit for alcohol and legalizing all drugs. Put aside your preconceptions about addictive substances, and embrace them whole-heartedly.
'Of course, that's just my opinion. You might think differently.
I'm also thinking of the poor, victimized liquor companies. They can't even advertise their hard stuff on television. Doctors recommend that pregnant women not imbibe and advise patients not to drink heavily. How can these honest businessmen and businesswomen survive? Imagine how their profits would soar if they peddled their mind-altering liquids to children. Little children have no concept of mortality, so they would freely ignore the doctors' warnings.
As alcohol is a depressant, it also would be wonderful for harried grade school teachers. If the little tykes in Mrs. Brown's second-grade class got too rambunctious, she could serve them all a couple of stiff gin-and-tonics to quiet them down. What's more, the second graders wouldn't complain. I know that when I was a grade schooler, I often got tired of drinking milk 15 times a day — or however often they forced it down our throats. Some nice mixed drinks would add variety.

Stop freaking—rec center isn't the local crack house
Could someone please let me know the potential disasters inherent in a recreational center. Everyone says they are so
eager to support the community, but not in their backyard.
This country seethes like an unidentified mass of moral pygmies, with its rehabilitative programs for the health of mankind. Yet, even in Lawrence, people willing to act on their celebrated claims are as hard to find as a narcoleptic bus driver.
For reporting class I was forced to experience my first Lawrence City Commission meeting. Not only was I outraged by the three
PEDRO LEYRERA
Jenny Oakson
 opinion@kansan.com
A 7-acre plot of land in the 1100 block of Kasold Road is up for bid. The Commission is considering the site for a new community recreation center to be funded by the 1-cent county sales tax. Believe it or not, the Lawrence homeowners are atrue, to say the least, about having such a horrible institution take over the location. You may ask: What are the negative arguments to such a project?
The concerned citizens claim that not only would a recreational center lower their property value, they also would have to tolerate literary youths gathered at the center, perhaps starting fights, listening to loud music, or breaking their precious fences. Personally, I never have been involved in the violation of a yard fence and I, in my day, was considered quite the "party girl."
and a half hour consumption of my time, but the interests of the community. What was the most pressing issue of the night? War? World Hunger? Poverty? Pornographic photographs with tennis raquets? Oh no. The loyal Lawrence locals were bickering about where to put a new rec center.
As for the wild behavior of such mothey crews, let me post a bulletin to the public. The cool kids, with their ghetto blasters and patented teenage angst, never hang out at the rec centers, anyway. So unless a heated debate about handball or chess breaks out, the neighboring families are in the clear.
another childish complaint I heard was that
the quiet demeanor of the subdivision would be disrupted by children and traffic.
Wake up people, you live on a major thoroughfare — near Harvard Road and Kasold Ave. — with several suburban, young families popping out kids like Pez dispensers, and plenty of cars wasting gas. I understand that construction may disrupt your lives a bit, but consider how happy the little tots on your block will be when they know they have a designated place to romp and play.
As I see it, these residents should be happy that a major developer won't be able to come along and tear down the 83 beautiful trees in the area and throw up 42 semi-beautiful duplexes. Better yet, I'd like to see how the area whinners would feel if I bought the land and built a crack house. I guarantee you that my many prostitutes and dealers will be grateful to roam such a nice, cash-plentiful area as the 'burbs.
But the most neglected topic on Tuesday night proved to be the beneficiaries of such a recreational center. Supposedly, the most important members of our community are our youth, probably because they aren't yet the screw-ups we have proven to be. I can't recall how many times I've heard older Americans complain of the recklessness and vandalism of today's teenagers. My opinion, as it was when I was a teenager four months ago, is that most children are mean, rotten, rude, or violent simply because they are bored. Sure, a rec center isn't going to help the high school kids, but if we as a community, can get children involved while they're young, they may grow up participating in productive activities.
At the Commission meeting Commissioner Bob Moody said, "The question that comes to my mind is 'Where CAN we put this stinkin' rec center?' "
No matter where the Commission decides to put the project, people will complain. That's fine. That's their right as citizens — but they shouldn't be selfish.
If they really think a rec center is the worst thing that could happen in their neighborhood, then they should let me know. My topless dancers are waiting. A recreational center is not the most horrifying thing that can happen to their precious neighborhood. Don't make me prove it.

rupping rewards for good service
This letter is in response to Jeromy Horkman's letter about tipping pizza delivery people and other food servers.
If the social custom of tipping ceased to exist, servers would have absolutely no incentive to provide customers with quality service. Tipping ensures that customers are treated well. If a server fails in this respect, the customer has the
opportunity to directly with hold the server's pay. Stiffing servers on the premise of a high-minded, anti-business philosophy is silly and rude.

Gothic rock and hip-hop stirs music scene
By Kelly Corcoran Special to the Kansan
If you are reading music reviews you should check out the March edition of Harper's magazine, particularly the Thomas Frank article "Pop Music in the Shadow of Irony." Frank dedicates about three pages to Lawrence and its music scene. His article has created quite a stir in the music journalists' world. Responses are planned in Spin magazine, The New Yorker, and The Village Voice, just to name a few.
Let's talk about music.
The Swans — The Swans are Dead — Young God
The Swans have been the leading gothic rock band since 1982. This live double album is the last release from the band, which has called it quits after last year's tour.
In 1983, the Swans were an intense crashing concept of intelligence, eroticism and rage. In 1997, the Swans returned to that image, using repetition, drone and crescendo with a heavy focus on the vocals rather than a Ministry-esque hammering and thrashing. The Swans were stoic and brooding in the mid-'90s.
Centered around Swans' primary songwriter and founder Michael Gira and female vocalist Jarboe, this live double CD documents the 1995 and 1997 tours. The black 1997 CD, the vastly superior disk of the two, features lengthy interpretations of mostly unreleased material. The song *Hypogirl* starts out with lyrics that Marilyn Manson probably will plagiarize for his next album: "Can I steal your mind/Can I crawl down inside." The difference is the Swans are meaner and wiser than Manson, not super-dramatic and predictably bizarre. *I am the sun* is a hit on KJHK, and deserves to be. This song sums up the 1997 edition of the Swans with its all knowing arrogance. "I am the sun, I rise above the world." The white 1995 tour CD has its moments, but most of the songs are better in their studio form on the Swans 1996 Soundtracks for the Blind double CD.
If you have been searching for a combination of Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper and Sonic Youth, then this is your CD. The Swans are mean curmudgeons and knowingly genius.
I thank Badaboom Gramophone No. 2 and Jordan N. Mamone for an introduction to the Swans.

Add the turntable skills of DJ Premier, Jeru the Damaja's DJ, scratching and mixing these songs, and you have one hard hitting album.
This album is dedicated to real hip-hop. Each group on this record has produced albums, but they have not received the attention they deserve. Company Flow's Fun Crusher Plus was the best hiphop album of 1997, and this track is lifted from that album.
Track this CD down if you love hip-hop, but cannot find merit in Puff Daddy and his fame. DJ Premier's lyrics read, "The underground started hip hop, and the underground will hold the fort down when everybody else crumbles down."
Various Artists — Essential Pebbles Volume One — Interactive International Productions
The Pebbles series of 10 albums focuses on 1960s garage-pop music. This scene of garage music generated The Who and keyboard sound often heard on Doors' albums. The Pebbles series is complied in an essential CD along with a second CD of rare bonus tracks.
Featuring obscure artists like the Preachers, the Shays, and the Ju Jus, this collection is a great preamble to a modern-pop music scene that you can see in the film Quadraphenia. Pop music is primarily party music. Songs like Need a Little Lovin' and The Girl with Long Black Hair are fun and dance-worthy.
The next time you are at a party and things are not going well, try playing this album. The standard college party will turn into an event where even that macho guy and pretentious girl will try the twist, swing their hips and try one of the other 1960s music dance steps.

Sorority to sponsor male models

A panel of five women will judge men based on creative expression, a question-and-answer session, and their appearance as they model business attire, said Holly Lane, St. Louis junior and sorority vice president.
"This is to bring people out and get talents recognized through scholarship," Lane said.

The pageant is open to all University of Kansas men, Lane said.

Last year, about 60 students came to the pageant and party, said Judith Jordan, Grandview, Mo., senior. She said the sorority expected roughly the same turnout this year.
Tickets for the pageant cost $5 and can be purchased through Alpha Kappa Alpha or at the door. The SUA box office is selling tickets for $5.25. The party will cost students $3 or $2 with two canned food donations. The food will be donated to the Red Cross, Lane said.
The pageant and party will mark the end of a week of activities celebrating the sorority. The name Skee-Week comes from the sorority's call, "Skee-Wee," the meaning of which is a secret closely guarded by members.
On Monday, the chapter worked with the Children's Learning Center, 205 Michigan St. Chapter members helped teachers at the center by providing extra supervision for 4- and 5-year-olds.

Twilight fades into sunset
Paul Newman's effort lackluster
By Jeremy M. Doherty
jdoherty@kansan.com
Kansas movie critic
At the age of 73, Paul Newman still gets to dodge bullets and woo the ladies in the movies.
Unfortunately, his latest,
Twilight, actually uses us to take such silliness at face value.
The plot has enough twists to make The Usual Suspects envious, and the women here sneer as if this were a R-movie from the 1940s.
Newman is Harry Ross, a private eye sent to Mexico to locate the wayward daughter of washed-up movie star Jack Ames (Gene Hackman). And find her he does. She shows her gratitude by shooting him in the thigh with his gun.
Commentary
Two years later, Harry is back in Los Angeles and has been unable to restructure his life. Retired from the detective business, he now lives with Ames and his loose wife, Catherine (Susan Sardanon). For some reason, they feel responsible for the mishap south of the border.
Jap Ames asks Harry to deliver a bundle of cash to a woman downtown. Is it blackmail money? A drug payment? Cash to a secret lover? But Harry ignores the obvious questions and agrees to do the job.
Twilight sets itself some high standards, throwing red herrings and quirky characters around like confetti. But director Robert Benton, who co-wrote the script with Richard Russo, never allows any of the scenes to develop a rhythm.
Instead, we get a series of character confrontations that don't go anywhere. Benton should have made a movie that played around with thriller clichés instead of embracing them outright.
TWILIGHT
Kansan rating: ** out of ******
Running time: 1 hour 35 minutes.
Rated R for profanity, sexuality and
violence.
The only saving grace is delivered by James Garner, who appears in a few choice scenes as Harry's old drinking buddy. Sadly, he's just another puppet in Benton's scheme and never has time to connect with the audience.
Which brings us to Newman. At long last, time appears to have caught up with the sex symbol. His blue eyes still sparkle, but his voice wheezes and has lost its pristine timre. With all the running and jumping he has to do here, I'm surprised he didn't break a hip.
Events offer alternatives, prizes
By Carl Kaminski
ckaminski@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
For those who are tired of the same old thing every weekend, the Association of University Residence Halls might have an alternative.
Almost every weekend, a residence hall sponsors an event as part of the Alternative Weekend program.
Past events have included a hay ride sponsored by Lewis Hall, the suitcase dance at Templin Hall, and an "I Hate Valentine's Day" dance at Hashinger Hall.
"It's a combination of dances, speakers, massage therapy and karaoke tournaments," said Laura Bennett, AURH president and Shawnee senior.
Tomorrow, Templin Hall is sponsoring its annual Casino Night, said Jessica Perkins, AURH vice-president for programming and Burnsville, Minn., junior.
This year, for the first time, the event will be open to all students, said Andrea Barefield, Minneapolis. Kan., sophomore in charge of Templin's public relations.
The event will feature mock casino gambling and prizes, she said. Prizes include two tickets to any city Vanguard Airlines flies to in the United States, a television, a microwave, a stereo, an entertainment center, a Sony PlayStation and a capuccino maker.
But Casino Night is also a philanthropic event, Barefield said. Students who attend must bring either a $1 donation or two canned food items.
The alternative weekend program is the brainchild of Perkins, who said she had been working on the idea for almost eight months.
"I started laying the groundwork for it this past summer when I was a housing intern," she said.
Perkins said even though many students saw the program as an alternative to alcohol, it was more than that. She wanted to offer people more choices for the weekend than going to a movie, a party or just out to eat.
"It's usually not publicized as an alcohol alternative," she said. "We just want to shake things up. We want to show people there are more
things to do in Lawrence."
Bennett said the program started off slowly.
"We didn't have as much support as we had honed." she said.
Originally AURH was to support several events each week, but it evolved into each hall sponsoring one event per month — a move that revitalized the program.
"It really started to take shape with the suitcase dance," Perkins said. About 300 people showed up for Templin's suitcase dance, which awarded two tickets to New York City immediately following the event.
Educational events are also part of the program, but Bennett said getting people to show up had not been easy.
Rarely more than 50 people show up,"she said."People are so into the social mind set here."
Money for the program comes from AURH and the individual halls.
"Instead of all the ownership being out of AURH, we spread it out to the hall governments," Bennett said. "Our efforts were better spent that way."

A new, cultural road to the final four
story by tim harrington • tharrington@kansan.com
English Alternative
Theater
presents a final four showdown of student-
written plays
Domination:
Basketball not your thing? Sad because you'll miss out on the competition and chances to bet on your favorite contestant? Well cheer up! The English Alternative Theater is sponsoring four plays competing head-to-head for your viewing pleasure. Just like "rock beats scissors," academics beats athletics when it is time to EAT.
It's like the Final Four without the tedious march of subaru contests that precedes it.
1 of sub par contests that precedes it And it's at the beginning of March, instead of at the end.
And it's with plays written by KU students, instead of basketball played by KU students.
or basketball play. They are 'It's the English Alternative Theater's final four of original plays for Paul Lim's English 354 beginning playwriting class.
The tickets will be a lot cheaper—they're free—than the one's that will be scaled in San Antonio in a few weeks, but the competitors will be just as intense, or almost as intense, or maybe some of the actors in the plays will pretend to be intense.
Do we mention that the event will be free? One aspect of EAT's final four that will be far superior to the other Final Four is in the way of audience participation.
The audience for EAT will have a direct influence on the course of the tournament.
on the course of the play, the theater patrons will be asked to comment about aspects of the plays and then vote for the one they enjoyed more.
At 8 p.m. tomorrow and Sunday there will be two sets of two back-to-back plays. The audience favorites will then go head to head, mono y mono, nose to nose, in a fiction-writing, thespian-dueling, steel-cage, original-college-student play, death match from hell.
"It's a lot of fun," said Paul Lim, associate professor of English. The title, however, doesn't do his role at the University justice. He is the beginning and end of playwriting in the English department and was brought here to be just that.
He began the final four competition nine years ago when he came to the University. He says it gives his students experience that a budding playwright cannot get by simply putting words on paper.
nor get by them. "It gives them some semblance of performance." Lim said. "These writers need an audience reaction to see if it's working or not."
Another way that EAT's final four outplays that other Final Four is in the spoils for the winner.
There's a cash prize. Nobody knows for sure how big it is. It's rumored that it will be less than $100,000, but Lim is tight-liped about the subject.
The playwrights, all with their eyes on the prize, undoubtedly are eager to see exactly how big the pot is that will begin the victor's professional career.
"It could be a happy meal for all I know," said Bob Deterbon, Bonner Springs senior and one of the playwrights.
The natural question for many EAT final four goers will, of course, be: "What are the odds in Vegas?"
The official response by the University Daily Kansan features page is: Gambling is illegal except in Las Vegas; Reno, Nev.; Atlantic City. N.J.; on Native-American reservations in Kansas and on certain waterways around the country.
The unofficial response is: Some theater goers could, completely of their volition and with no enticement whatsoever from the University Daily Kansan features page, use in making a gentleman's or gentlewoman's bet.
EXECUTION DAY
THE CHALLENGERS
Written by Bob Determan University Daily Kansan odds: 1:4
Determan is a nontraditional student living in Bonner Springs who drew from his 39 years of life experience to write "Execution Day."
The play is about five blue-collar guys, all waiting in a room, knowing that one of them will be fired. The play touches on issues of male bonding and relationships under adverse conditions.
8 p.m.
Tomorrow
Determan sees his advantage in the competition to be the base humor which comes out of his working-class characters. "I pound 'em with perversion," Determan said. "Even Paul Ullman said that this will offend some people."
Determan said he based his character on friends he knew while working at factories and warehouses.
Determan also said there was some mild violence in his play but no nudity.
THE ROAD TO JAVA
Written by Ed White University Daily Kansan odds: 1:4
White is a senior who was born and raised on the southwest side of Chicago. "The Road to Java" is a dark comedy that he said dealt with serious social issues, but his characters deal with them is a very vicious manner.
White said "The Road to Java" poked fun at the way big business has been known to treat people and at both the political right and left.
8 p.m.
Sunday
White said his inspiration came from hanging around activist groups in coffee shops smoking cigarettes.
"This will be the first time I get to see my words take on three dimensions," White said. "It's like meeting a correspondence for the first time."
The advantage of White's play is that it has a twist ending, but there is neither nudity nor violence.

PURKE 12
UP COMES SOCIETY
Written by Nick Woods University Daily Kansan odds: 1:4
Woods is a Prairie Village senior who has studied in Spain. He studied the Spanish language, however, and not playwriting.
9 p.m.
Tomorrow
"Up Comes Society" is a prison story that deals with masculine roles and relationships. Lim calls it a love story, but Woods hates it when he does. Woods said it could be a story of unrequited love between two men, but it's more about social outcasts. Woods said that he was not gay and that there was nothing wrong with being gay. Wood's advantage may come in the form of cash bribes to actors for "choking" in the other plays but performing well in his. Some of the actors are in more than one play.
Wood said his influences were Tennessee Williams, Oscar Wilde and Herman Melville.
There is no nudity but a little violence in "Up Comes Society."
CHARLOTTE'S SPECIAL DAY
Written by Darren Weimer University Daily Kansan odds: 1:4
9 p.m.
Sunday
Weimer is a native of Hays, so whether he wins, it's a good bet that he'll be drinking beer afterwards.
Weimer said "Charlotte's Special Day" was a drama about a 50-year-old woman who recently has arrived home from the hospital after learning that she has a malignant brain tumor.
There is no nudity or violence. "It's a good family drama," Weimer said.
Weimer, who said that this was the best play he ever had written and the first play he'd ever finished, said that winning not only would be an honor but something cool to put on a resume.
Weimer says his advantage might be in the actress playing the title role, Charlotte, for whom the rest of the play's characters are simply scenery.
"I was very impressed," Weimer said of his star actress, Anne Schofield.

Commentary Conference tournament spoils fresh Kansas team
I'll explain what I mean after describing one of my grocery shopping habits.
Like milk, the Kansas basketball team is better when served fresh.
After picking up ice cream sand-wiches and peanut butter on a weekly run to Dillons, I point my cart toward the dairy section (a very underrated section of any grocery store).
Perusing the different choices of milk, I grab the freshest carton of 2 percent in the refrigerator. But whether you prefer skim, 2 percent, or Vitamin D, there's one thing most of us have in common — we examine the evapiration date.
What's the point of inspecting milk?
Well, the main challenge is to find a carton with the longest refrigerator lifespan. That's not always easy to do, but it's rewarding.
Ivy
Let's face it,
fresh milk is
delicious! It's
cool, wholesome
Adam Herschman
sports@kansan.com
Just like milk, I would prefer to see the Kansas basketball team fresh for the NCAA Tournament. Unfortunately, the Big 12 Conference Tournament prevents the Jayhawks from entering the Big Dance well-rested.
If Kansas reaches the conference championship on Sunday, the Jayhawks will have played four games in eight days before leaving for the first round of the NCAA Tournament, which is next Thursday and Friday.
That's an intense schedule that includes three games in three days—before the most important part of the season begins.
Roy Williams answered a similar question about the conference tournament in a Feb. 23 teleconference.
What advantagezes doing winning the Big 12 Tournament give a team like Kansas that is already headed to the NCAA Tournament?
The following examples make some interesting correlations between conference tournaments and national championships. (Remember, these are not proofs, just food for thought).
"I think they are great for those teams who finish in the bottom of the league," Williams said. "But other than that, I've never been a fan of them. They take away so much attention and energy that could be better used down the road."
Herschman is an Bloomington, Minn., junior in journalism.
Since Williams has been coach, the Jayhawks have won two conference tournaments, but those years Kansas did not advance to the Final Four. The two years Kansas reached the Final Four under Williams, the Jayhawks lost in the Big Eight Tournament.
In 1988, under Larry Brown, Kansas lost to Kansas State in the semifinals of the conference tournament before winning the NCAA Championship.
Away from the Big 12 Conference, it's interesting that two of the previous three NCAA Champions were rested Pacific-10 teams (Arizona and UCLA). The Pac-10, along with the Ivy League, does not have a postseason conference tournament.
With the best conference record, what more does Kansas have to prove?
I just hope the Jayhawks' expiration date outlasts the milk in my fridge.
Kansas' overall record headed into today's game against K-State is 31-3, which includes 15 victories against Big 12 opponents.
I'm going to tune into today's game, sip my milk and chow on those ice cream sandwiches.
'Hawks storm Cyclones Women win with second-half run
By Kevin C. Wilson
Kansan sportswriter
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A second-half explosion helped the Kansas women's basketball team upset No. 2 seeded Iowa State 70-65 in the semifinals of the Big 12 conference last night at Municipal Auditorium.
Guard Jennifer Jackson scored eight consecutive points as the Jayhawks went on a 13-4 run in the first five minutes of the second half to take a 38-34 lead. Jackson recorded a career-high 20 points, and forward Lynn Pride scored all 15 of her points after the intermission. The Jayhawks led for the rest of the game.
WASHINGTON 10
"Kansas played very well in the second half," Iowa State coach Bill Fennell said. "They had a great game plan and they played very determined. We just couldn't match that."
The 22nd-ranked Cyclones also couldn't match up with Jackson, who made 8 of 15 shots, including 3 of 6 from 3-point range. Jackson said she needed to take on some of the scoring burden because Pride was struggling early in the game.
Lynn has carried us a lot this year," Jackson said. "I'm just happy I got some open shots and was able to knock them down."
Pride, the Jayhawks' first team All-Big 12Conference forward, missed all five of her first half attempts but came out in the second half with a new confidence.
"I just kept shooting," Pride said. "We ran several offenses that got me open inside, and my teammates got me the ball."
Fennelly said someone must have reminded Pride of her poor performance at halftime, because she was a different player in the second half.
"She's a hell of a player," Fennelly said. "She makes the big plays."
Both teams shot 10-of-30 from the field in the first half. Iowa State held a 28-25 lead at the break.
The Cyclones, 24-7 overall, came out firing from 3-point range in the first half, making 6 of 16. Center Jayme Olson was 2-of-3 from beyond the arc in the half, and guard Stacy Freese scored all nine of her first-half points from 3-point range.
Fresse paced the Cyclones with 20 points, Olson added 19 and forward Janel Grimm chipped in 13.
Jackson and reserve forward Shandy Robbins kept the Jayhawks close in the first half by scoring 17 of Kansas' 25 points. Robbins hit 3 of 4 field goals, including both of her 3-point attempts, for 8 first half points.
"They got some great play from Jackson and Robbins in the first half," Fennett said.
Kansas center Nakia Sanford scored 10 of her 12 points in the second half, and guard Suzi Raymant added 12 points as the Jayhawks improved to 21-7 on the season.

"They are one of the best teams in the country." Washington said. "We're trying to get ready for the NCAA, and the better competition will help."

By Tommy Gallagher
Kansan sportswriter
KANASAS CITY, Mo. — Among Big 12 Conference schools, Kansas is the closest to Kemper Arena. So while travel plans are far less taxing, there's a perception by other teams that the Jayhawks have a homecourt advantage.
An Allen Field House East, of sorts. Coach Roy Williams said top-seeded Kansas, which will open quarterfinals play at noon today against No. 8 Kansas State, does not have an advantage playing at Kemper Arena.
"The advantage here is absolutely zero," Williams said. "We've won two Big 12 championships in nine years, so I don't know what the advantage would be. I have yet to see a building be responsible for winning a game."
Kansas State guard Aaron Swartzendruber had a different opinion.
The Wildcats defeated Colorado 75-61 in the first round yesterday, despite playing without forward Manny Dies, who sat out for a third consecutive game. He averaged 16.3 points and 7.5 rebounds during the regular season.
"I think it's like a home court advantage," he said. "Kansas City is only two hours away from the K-State campus, and there are a lot of grads in the area. I always see a lot of purple in the arena here."
K-State coach Tom Asbury has yet to decide whether Dies would play in the tournament.
The Starting Lineup
Williams said he wanted treat this tournament like any other road game. He wanted his players to attend every class possible before missing classes during the next couple of weeks
Partly because of the proximity of the tournament, the Jayhawks arrived last night in Kansas City, Mo., one day after the other teams.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., — At halftime,
Coach Tom Asbury urged his Kansas

more fun than winning?
The short-handed Wildcats erased a three-point Colorado half-time lead and rolled to a 75-16 victory yesterday in the first round of the Big 12 Conference tournament.
"I told them. 'Don't make this unfun,'"

said Asbury. "Our kids are smart. They know we're playing for a post-season berth and every shot is important."
Better second-half defense on Colorado's Kenny Price helped the eighth-seeded Wildcats (17-10). Price hit three of four three-point shots and scored 11 points in the first half. But he made only two of six three-point shots in the second half.
Ty Sims and Ayome May led an 8-0 run that stopped a Colorado rally and turned the momentum squarely in favor

But after Aaron Swartzendruber's bucket a moment later, May hit a pair of free throws and then stole a pass and drove for a layup that made the score 61-51.

The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Patrick Hunter sank two free throws with 26 seconds left and Baylor hung on to defeat 12th-seeded Texas A&M 66-63 in a sloppy first-round game in the Big 12 Tournament yesterday.
In the final 11 seconds, Rodrick Miller and Leon Morris missed two free throws each for Baylor (14-13), but Texas A&M (7-20) missed three 3-point attempts in the final 24 seconds.

Last second shot by Carr looks good, misses mark
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY. Mo. — Texas coach Tom Penders and Cory Carr agreed.
Carr's last-second 3-pointer sure looked good.
But it bounced out just before the buzzer as the Longhorns held on to beat Texas Tech 86-83 in the first round of the Big 12 Conference tournament yesterday advancing to a second-round game today against second-seeded Oklahoma State. The Cowboys had a first-round bye.
"We knew it was going to him," Penders said. "It's hard to beat a team three times. Cory is a special person. He's good for our league. I'm glad we won, but I'm sorry that it had to be Cory."
Chris Mihm put back a missed shot with about 12 seconds left and made two free throws with 9.7 seconds to go.
Carr then missed from the top of the kev as Texas (13-16) escaped.
"I put the thing up and it looked good," Carr said. "I had just made one the last time down the court. But usually when they look that good, they don't go in."
The Red Raiders (13-14) had trailed throughout the game, but rallied in the second half behind the 3-point shooting

Missouri storms past Iowa State
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kelly Thames scored 22 points as a Missouri team struggling to keep its NCAA hopes alive rolled past Iowa State 74-55 yesterday in the first round of the Big 12 Conference tournament.
The Tigers, who shot 67 percent to build a 15-point lead in the first half, advanced to the second round today against third-seeded Oklahoma. The Sooners had a first-round bye.
Missouri, which has a 23-game road losing streak and lost all of its league games on the road this year, is counting on four victories in five games with ranked teams to influence the NCAA tournament selection committee.
The Tigers would receive an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament if they won
the conference tournament.
Missouri (17-13)
and Iowa State (12-
18) had split their
regular season
games this year
with each team win-
ning on its home
court.
M
The Tigers, who had many fans among the crowd of 13,800 at Kemper Arena, made 16 of 24 shots in the first half, including five of eight three-point shots. Dibi Ray made all three of his three-point attempts in the half.
Iowa State, which brings the largest contingent of fans to the tournament each year, shot only 37 percent in the half.
Ray finished with 11 points and Albert White scored 10 for Missouri.
IOWA STATE
CYCLOPS
The Tigers led 33-20 after a three-point shot by Ray with 4:55 to play in the first half. Thames then stole the ball and scored on a pass by White for a 35-20 lead.
It was 68-49 with just more than three minutes left after an acrobatic play by Jeff Hafer. Iowa State lost the ball on the offensive end of the court and the ball was lobbed downcourt to Hafer. Hafer tipped the ball over the head of a Cyclone defender, picked it up under the basket and laid it in.
Missouri led 41-29 at halftime, and Thames opened the second half with two free throws and a three-point shot for a 46-29 lead with 18:55 remaining.

KU first baseman out for season
Kansas looks to bullpen against Illinois-Chicago
By John Blakely Wilson Kansan sportswriter
Kansas baseball (5-6) will conclude its five-game home stand this weekend with three games against Illinois-Chicago after learning starting first baseman Chad King will be out for the season.
King, who slammed five home runs last season in limited action, will redshirt this season because of an injury to his right arm. Randall said he had been counting on run production from the 6-foot-529-pound senior
"He is one of the strongest baseball players I've ever coached," Randall said. "It will help our team next season, but it really hurts to lose that power in our lineup."
First base would have been a deep position for the Jayhawks with King. Without him, the pressure falls on junior Randy Case, who still is recovering from a back injury. Catcher Josh Dimmick played first base last week against Hastings College. He will play several games at that position throughout the season.
"Randy Case's back gets stiff when he plays a lot," Randall said. "He should be able to play more as the season progresses, but we'll rest him at times early."
Catcher Shane Wedd said the Jayhawks were focusing on pregame preparation.
"After losing last Friday at Oklahoma State, we all questioned how ready we were to play," Wedd said. "We saw what it takes to play at that level."
Randall said he had been impressed lately with the team's pitching and Les Walrond and Mark Corson would start the first two games of the series.
"Every guy who has thrown in the last week has looked better than his last appearance," Randall said.
Randall said several players had entrenched themselves as everyday starters: Clint Wyrick in center field,
Andy Juday at second base, John Nelson at shortstop and Josh Dimmick at catcher.
"Those guys will form the heart of our lineup, but we are also waiting for other bats to come alive," Randall said. "I know guys like Cliff Bryson and Brett Kappelman will make key contributions as the season progresses."
Nelson, a true freshman, said he didn't feel pressure to produce as an everyday player for the Jayhawks.
"All the older guys are always encouraging me," Nelson said. "Most of the important skills I've learned here I've learned from veteran players."
Illinois-Chicago has yet to play a game this season but finished 15-25 in 1997. Sophomore infielder Charlie Annerino in the Flames' leading returning player after hitting .302 with 13 RBI last year. Randall said Illinois-Cochise would bring a skillful squad.
"I know they signed of the best talent in Chicago last year, and Chicago is always loaded with players," Randall said. "This won't be a weekend we can just come in and overwhelm them."

Recruit picks Kansas over father
By Brad Hallier
Kansan sportswriter
Many high school football players would not pass up the opportunity to play college football for their father, but a Kansas football signee, quarterback Jonas Weatherbie, has done just that.
Jonas' father is Charlie Weatherbie, the football coach at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md.
"Yes, I did try to recruit him, but he wasn't interested in running an option offense," Charlie Weatherbie said of Jonas. "He's a drown-back passer."
Jonas adds depth to the quarterback position for the Jayhawks. Only two scholarship quarterbacks will return next season, sophomore Zac Wegner and junior Akili Roberson, who spent time at wide receiver last season.
Charlie Weatherbie said he didn't pressure his son into choosing a college. Washington State, Liberty, Maryland and Oklahoma State were interested in
Jonas in addition to the Jayhawks.
KU
"I'm jumping into a good opportunity," Jonas said. "I've had good experiences in Lawrence, there's
great coaches and I like the area."
Jonas was born and raised in Big 12 Conference country in Enid, Okla. He then had a successful career at Broadneck High School in Annapolis, where he set four school records including most touchdown passes in a game (four), most touchdown passes in a season (20), most yards passing in a game (352) and most passing yards in a career (2,238).
Jonas put up some impressive numbers his senior year. He passed for 1,660 yards and 20 touchdowns, threw only two interceptions and ran for 11 touchdowns.
He also received a second team all metro nomination for the
Coach Terry Allen said Jonas would have a bright future at Kansas.
Baltimore/Washington D.C./Northern Virginia area.
"He has great knowledge of the game, he makes good choices and he has a strong arm."he said.
Jonas said he could bring good leadership and decision-making to the team. He said he still needed to work on his arm strength as well as his quickness.
"The big defensive linemen in the Big 12 will be chasing after me," he said.
Charlie Weatherbie said during his son's recruiting, he was impressed with Allen and the University.
"It's a beautiful campus, and Terry is a sharp, young coach who has been successful at Northern Iowa," he said.
Neither coach said he had considered the possibility of a father-son showdown in the near future.
"I haven't really thought about it, but I would enjoy playing against Jonas one day," Charlie said.
Ex-Chief chased on I-435
Chevrolet pickup truck pursued Neil Smith on highway yesterday
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Former Kansas City Chiefs player Neil Smith told police his car was pursued and nearly hit several times by a pickup truck on the highway early yesterday.
Smith, 31, a defensive end who was acquired as a free agent in 1997 by the Denver Broncos, told Kansas City police he was driving on Interstate 435 at about 2:50 a.m. when another car pulled up beside him and tried to bump his car.
The green 1994 Chevrolet pickup truck veered toward Smith's white Mercedes several times, causing Smith to take evasive action, a police report said.
one pickup truck followed Smith as he switched to eastbound Interstate 70
toward his home in Blue Springs, Mo., and sped up, police said.
Smith dialed 911 from his car phone, and a patrol car intercepted the vehicles at a Blue
PACIFIC STATE
Springs exit, where the suspect truck was seen speeding away, police said.
Smith was not injured, and his vehicle was not damaged, police said.
Officers didn't pursue the suspect vehicle because they were not sure what was going on when they arrived, and they were out of their jurisdiction, said police spokesman Russ Dykstra.
However, Smith provided the license plate number of the truck, and officers are looking for the driver.
Smith owns Copeland's restaurant in the Kansas City area and has a residence in Blue Springs.

Pierce quietly dominates games
By Tommy Gallagher

Kansan sportswriter
Kansas forward Paul Pierce may appear to possess a casual attitude on the basketball court, displaying smooth moves with a certain degree of ease.
Don't be fooled.
lough smooth, Pierce can be rough on opponents.
Coach Roy Williams said some people have mistaken Pierce's fluent ability for a lax style of play.
"I think people mistake that a great deal in terms of intensity because they don't think he's playing as hard as he is," Williams said. "Paul does make things seem awfully easy at times."
He scored 15 consecutive points in the second half against Oklahoma on Feb. 23. Against Oklahoma State on Sunday, he quietly racked up 13 points, six rebounds and five assists but just one turnover.
Pierce was one of three players unanimously named first team All-Big 12 Conference. He also placed second in Big 12 Player of the Year balloting.
He was the Most Outstanding Player of the Big 12 Conference Tournament last season, averaging 21.7 points and 7.3 rebounds, as the Jayhawks claimed the tournament title. Pierce said he hoped he could repeat that performance when Kansas opens tournament play at noon today against at Kansas State.
Pierce's skills have Jayhawk fans speculating about whether Pierce, who averages 20.1 points and 6.9 rebounds per game, will return for his senior season at Kansas or leave for the NBA.
Pierce said last week he would evaluate his play after the season had ended before making a decision.
"I can see myself playing in a Kansas uniform next year," Pierce said. "But then I could see myself playing in the NBA next year. Right now it's up in the air. I really don't know."
Regardless, Pierce offered a tentative timetable for a decision on his future.
"Probably immediately after the season, I'll have a press conference on what I'd like to do." Pierce said.
For now, Pierce has received phone calls at home from sports agents who would love to talk to him about the NBA. NCAA rules restrict such talks, and Pierce said he was unwilling to discuss anything until after the season.
Guard Jelani Janisse, Pierce's roommate, said they have replied to the flood of phone calls with humor and caution.
the phone, he just says. "I'm in to you!" and the woman
Pierce said his senior year would present some new challenges.
"We've received a lot of phone calls, but we just laugh at it now," Janisse said. "My response is 'He's not here.' And when he answers the phone, he just says I'll talk to you after the season is over."
He said if he returned, he would work to improve his ball-handling skills and obtain more experience. He probably would face double teams and be expected to shoulder more responsibility on the court, especially with the departures of forward Raef LaFrentz and guard Billy Thomas.
When asked about college life when compared to the lure of lucrative NBA contracts, Pierce said he would have left last season if his motives had been monetary.
"The whole atmosphere is something that you'll never have again in your life," Pierce said. "But people have to do things for the better of their life. People have to make decisions, just like when I made the decision to leave home. I didn't want to leave my family, but it was a sacrifice I had to make."

Cold weather limited practice for the No. 22 Kansas softball team this week as it prepared for the Bulldog Invite in Fresno, Calif.
The dayhawks have spent the majority of practice in the batting cages and working with the pitching staff.
"Working outside in this weather would only help us if we were going to be playing in the same kind of conditions," coach Tracy Runger said.
The 10-8 Jayhawks will face No. 5 Fresno State, Tennessee, Indiana and UCLA, last year's NCAA runner up, this weekend.
After playing top-ranked Arizona last weekend, Bunge said the Jayhawks were ready for the challenging tournament.
this season after having back surgery in the fall.
"They got great experience playing Arizona," Bunge said. "We fought; we clawed and we found a way to score some runs."
Third baseman Sarah McCann started in the field for the first time
Catcher Kristina Johnson played through the pain of a sprained ankle in every game last weekend. She hit her 10th career home run, and leads the Jayhawks in hitting, with .388 batting average on the season.
"KJ is one of the toughest people I know," Bunge said. "Her ankle was swollen and purple, but she caught every game. She showed a lot of character and led our team by example."
Pitcher Sarah Workman has yet to make her season debut. The tendinitis in her elbow continues to bother her and she has been unable to throw full speed in practice.
Freshman pitcher Jessi Kowal filled in for Workman during the last two tournaments.
"I really don't feel much pressure," Kowal said. "It's a team sport, and I know the rest of the team is behind me."
With only two healthy pitchers, Bunge said she was hesitant about letting them hit because of the possible injury risk of running the
bases. Pitcher Christy McPhail provided a boost for Kansas last weekend in her season debut at the plate, going 3-for-3 in the last game.
Softball
"I was nervous in the first game that I hit in," McPhail said. "I like it better when I do both, though. When I focus too much on one thing, I don't do as well."
Kansas and Tennessee have both played 18 games this season, considerably more than the other teams that will be in Fresno.
Indiana, 3-6, has defeated the Jay-
hawks only once, in 1989. No. 5-
ranked Fresno State is 4-2, with two
wins against No. 25 Utah.
UCLA enters this weekend 8-4. After opening the season with six straight victories, the Bruins dropped four straight.
KISSMMEE, Fla. — Bret Saberhagen got up early for a three-hour bus ride to a game in which he would pitch just two innings.
Only this time. Saberhagen, a two-time Cy Young award winner, was happy to make the trip.
The Associated Press
Red Sox pitcher returns
On Wednesday, Saberhagen took another step when he pitched the first two innings of Boston's 4-3 loss to the Atlanta Braves.
"I don't mind road trips anymore," he said. "I can't complain, especially since I haven't made a road trip in (nearly) two years," he said.
He also worked out of a second inning, bases-loaded jam by striking the last two batters.
Saberhagen, who turns 34 the day after Boston's April 10 home opener, allowed two runs, one of them unearned, three hits and two walks and struck out two.
"When it comes down to having to really get the pitch that he needed, he made the pitches." Red
Sox catcher Jim Leyritz said. "For the first outing of spring training, it's pretty encourag."
Saberhagen missed the entire 1996 season and made his first appearance since Oct. 1, 1995, when he was with Colorado, last Aug. 22. He gave up four runs in four innings and lost an 8-5 decision in Anaheim, Calif. He made five other starts, without any decisions, and finished the season with a 6.58 ERA.
But he made it through the season without a physical setback and feels even better now.
"It's the first time in three springs where I've been able to go out and do what everybody else was doing." Saberhagen said. "I feel kind of rejuvenated. Last year ... besides not feeling a part of the team, it wasn't a pleasure to come to the ballpark."
If he stays healthy, Saberhagen is expected to get the No. 4 or 5 spot in Boston's rotation and a chance to improve on his 141-101 career record.

Sim: Hopes defeating BYU will keep team No. 1 spot.
Before this weekend, the only team Kansas had played that was not ranked or did not have ranked players was Ohio State. This weekend the Jayhawks will play two more unranked teams.
Defeating BYU will not be an easy task for the Jayhawks. The Cougars are 8-1, including a win against 10th-ranked Pepperdine. Three players on the team are nationally ranked: Holly Parkinson (10), Eline Chiew (20), and Adrien Alder Jenkins (39).
But the Jayhawks are not expecting this weekend to be easy. Riley said both of the teams had improved after the fall season.

THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
ieters who have taken fen-phen and Redux risk the dangerous side effects doctors have discovered and the lingering fear of effects unknown.
D
Story by Lisa Stevens John • Illustration by Matt Woodruff
The chest pains hit Van Buckley while he was working in his office at the University of Kansas Medical Center. A band of pressure spread across his chest. He felt full, as if he had just eaten a big meal. Then the back pains started. He broke into a cold sweat.
As Buckley, 40, was admitted to the very hospital where he worked, the media relations coordinator wondered: "Is this it? Am I dying? Was it the diet drugs?"
Buckley had reason to worry. He is one of approximately 5 million Americans who has taken the diet drugs fenfluramine and phentermine, known as the fen-phen combination, and dexfenfluramine, marketed as Redux.
The Food and Drug Administration pulled fenfluramine and Redux off the market in September 1997, two months after the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., published findings of studies on 24 women, average age 43, who had taken fen-phen. All of the women in the study developed heart or lung disease.
Both types of disease seen in the fenphen patients are rare for people younger than 50.
"Unfortunately, because I had been on Redux, the first thing I thought was: Does the medication have something to do with this? Am I going to have heart valve damage because I was on it?" Buckley said.
(USPS 650-640)
A stress test turned out normal, his physician found no evidence of heart damage, and Buckley went back to work after one day in the hospital.
Others haven't been so lucky. Across the United States, a growing number of fen-phen and Redux users are showing up in physicians' offices and lawyers' offices with heart valve damage. They arrive after relying on a drug that the medical industry jumped at prescribing, including the Med Center's weight loss clinic.
REVON
FEN
PHEN
Buckley, who was treated at the clinic, still worries.
"There's no indication of heart disease," he said. "But it's still a concern and that will always be the case. Are there other side effects that they don't know about yet?"
No more hunger pangs
"By using the combination of medicines, you're approaching the appetite from two different angles," said Shadrach Smith, the physician in charge of the weight loss clinic at the Med Center. The combination of the drugs was much more effective than the drugs individually, he said.
In 1992, diet clinics began springing up across the country. Fen-phen was touted as the sweetest deal ever in anti-obesity lore. For only about $40 a month, dieters essentially could forget to eat. When they did eat, they soon felt full.
The "fen" in fen-phen stands for fen-
fluramine, which turns off hunger and turns on the sensation of fullness; the "phen" stands for phentermine. Phentermine mimics amphetamines but has little, if any, addiction potential if taken at normal doses, Smith said.
Fnfluramine and phentermine have been available in the United States since the 1960s. Both originally were approved for single-drug, short-term obesity therapy.

Campus Cause volunteers take clean campaign to Hill
Community service, Senate elections lead students to join effort
By Melissa Ngo
mngo@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
(1)
A program to clean up campus began the Campus Cause coalition's Student Senate campaign.
Those who picked up trash on campus received Rock Chalk Revue community service points. Rock Chalk Revue participants compete for an award for the most community service points.
About 200 people attended the cleanup Saturday morning and about 25 came to the post-cleanup party at Johnny's Tavern, 401 N. Second St.
"Campus Cause was born in the spirit of this cleanup," said Kevin Yoder, Interfraternity Council senator and student presidential candidate. "This is a coalition that is focused on doing things for the campus instead of doing things for ourselves."

"In years past I've heard about coalitions politicking. It's nice to know this coalition is doing something for campus as opposed to just sitting and talking." Pigg said.
Karli Pigg, Topeka senior, said Campus Cause was different from previous coalitions.
"They made me realize that Student Senate was an important part of KU. I wanted to get involved and be a part of what goes on," McCallie said.
Allison McCallie, candidate for a Nune-maker seat, said she joined the coalition because of its community-oriented ideas.
"We came in the spirit of getting along," said Jason Fizell, Liberal Arts and Sciences senator and last year's Delta Force student body presidential candidate. "We'll be campaigning side-by-side, and Delta Force wanted to show that we wanted to cooperate."
Patrick Hosty, Oklahoma City junior and Alpha Tau Omega community service chair, sent e-mails to listservs for the Black Student Union, KU Environs and the Environmental Studies department. He invited students to come to the cleanup and then join Campus Cause at Johnny's to watch the Big 12 Tournament and have a beer.
Fizell said Delta Force learned about the cleanup through a posting on a listserv.
Yoder said that he knew nothing about the e-mail and that information about the kickoff was not sent to any listservs. Yoder said the coalition did not give away free beer at the party.

Safety office showed small boost in 1997 crime figures
By Laura Roddy

Iroddy@kansas.com
Kansan staff staff
"We hope we can keep that from happening in 1998," said Sgt. Chris Keary of the public safety office. "There's always going to be variations in crime from year to year."
Criminal offenses reported to the University of Kansas Office of Public Safety on the Lawrence campus increased 12 percent in 1997, according to figures released Friday by the office.
Keary said that an increase in the num ber of parking-permit hang tags stolen from vehicles contributed to the total 1.47 criminal offenses in 1997. The tota increased 181 from the 1996 figure of 1.29 offenses.
Overall thefts reported on the KU campus decreased from 617 to 595 in 1997. Burglaries, which include the hang-tag thefts increased from 266 to 348.
The public safety office reported that 9 of 202 thefts from motor vehicles in 199 involved permits. The Parking Department plans to switch parking permits from hang tags to stickers this fall to curb the thefts.
Keary said that the rise resulted from increased officer patrol time, not necessar ily more drunk drivers.
Keary said that crimes against property such as thefts continued to account for the majority of offenses on campus. He said he encouraged students to engrave their property, keep a description of it and not leave it unattended.
Keary said that everyone on campu should be involved in efforts to reduc crime and report anything suspicious.
The public safety office reported that drug violations increased from 28 to 38 and weapons violations increased from zero to five in 1997.
The office also reported that the number of arrests made for operating under the influence increased from 91 to 120.
The number of rapes reported on campus increased from three to seven in 1997. How ever, Keary said the figure did not accrually reflect the total number of rapes or campus. He said that because of its nature rape tended to be underreported.
Todd Johnson, Hutchinson junior, said he thought the KU campus was relatively safe. "I never worry about anyone muggin me or murder or anything," he said.
"Each crime is important to victims and also to us," he said.

Students to learn about environmental careers
Students interested in environmental careers can talk with professionals tomorrow at the Environmental Career Information Night.
Clark Langmeier, student representative for JAEP, said the purpose of the event was to provide encouragement and information to students considering an environmental career.
Three time, sponsored by the Jayhawk Association of Environmental Professionals, will take place from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Centenial Room in the Kansas Union. The event is free.
"It's a chance for students to really get a lot of valuable information about environmental careers." Langemeier said.
The night will begin with a presentation by the board of directors of the Mid-American Association of Environmental Professionals. The rest of the evening will be devoted to informal conversation.
Officials from the Environmental Protection Agency and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment will attend.

Lottery attack assailant talked to reporters earlier
NEWINGTON, Conn. — The accountant who gunned down four people at state lottery headquarters before killing himself had complained to newspapers months beforehand that lottery players were being cheated.

He claimed that the Connecticut Lottery Corp. exaggerated potential winnings to spur ticket sales, and that store clerks were taking winning scratch tickets for themselves by cracking the computer system.

The Courant described him as frothing at the mouth and said his eyes were wild, while the Day described him as scruffy in appearance.

Bodies recovered from Navy helicopter crash
CRESTLINE, Calif. — A Navy crew retrieved the bodies of five people aboard a helicopter that crashed in the snow-packed San Bernadino Mountains on Saturday.

Serbian crackdown kills 45 Albanians in Kosovo
PRISTINA, Yugoslavia — A Serb crackdown on ethnic Albanians seeking independence has killed 45 Albanians and left the southern part of Serbia perilously close to civil war.
Serb police sweeping through a part of Serbia's Kosovo province killed 20 Albanians on Thursday. A police statement announcing the deaths was broadcast by state television, saying that two policemen were also killed.
killed.
The latest killings increased the total death toll to 51 since the violence began last weekend — 45 Albanians and six Serb police.
Ethnic Albanian media quoted witnesses as saying that the Serbs used heavy artillery and helicopter gunships, and Albanian politicians in Kosovo spoke of massacres.
War in Kosovo could spread to neighboring Macedonia, which has a large and restive Albanian minority. And while face Albania is reluctant to get involved, it could face no other choice if the conflict escalated.
Serbian authorities contend that the crackdown was justified and deny suggestions that the army was involved. They said they are responding to provocations supported by the Kosovo Liberation Army, which advocates an armed struggle for independence for Kosovo, a Serbian province where ethnic Albanians outnumber Serbs 9-to-1.

Individual expression created a feeling of Asian unity during Saturday's Multicultural Night.
The presentation, the final event of the week-long Asian-American Festival, took place Saturday night at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries. While the festival was in its seventh year, Saturday marked the club's first Multicultural Night.
The event, "A Taste of Asia," included an Asian fashion show, song and dance presentations, information tables highlighting different Asian groups and samplings of Asian cuisine.
Two hundred people attended and eight Asian organizations participated.
John Werhoa, public relations chair for the Asian American Student Union and Lawrence senior, said the attendance was terrific.
"We only expected about 100-150 people, so it exceeded our expectations," he said. "It went really well and people had a fun time. They laughed and learned and it was a good ending to a good week."
Yen Zeng, president of the Asian American Student Union and Winfield junior, said that Multicultural Night would become an annual event.
"It was a great success," she said. "Every group contributed to make it successful. We hope that more groups will participate in the future."
Weroha said the night allowed each group a chance to display their own traditions while being part of the cohesive Asian community.
"It's important to hold on to our own culture while appreciating others," he said. "The event went really well and people had fun. We laughed and learned; it was a good ending to a good week."
Sridhar Sunderam, Madras,
India, graduate student and president of the Cultural India Club,
said he was glad the club was asked to participate.
"The idea was to focus attention on your club or organization while being part of the group," he said.
Kate Fanning, Cheyenne, Wyo., freshman, said the Multicultural Night was informative and intriguing.
"I thought it was a really interesting experience to be able to experience all the different cultures in one setting," she said. "We always see them as the same but they're really quite unique."
The Multicultural Night was

Corporate sponsorship of Saferide good for students, Senate, Lawrence
Sponsorship of Saferide is a good idea. Molly McNearney, Nunemaker senator, has been working to find a corporate sponsor for Saferide since the beginning of the semester.
Saferide is an arm of Student' Senate's KU on Wheels that is contracted out every two years. However, at the end of the first year of the contract, the vendor
— in this case Lawrence Bus Company
— may change the price of providing the service. This has happened several times during the last few years, resulting in more than $200,000 worth of balloons for the service from the Senate reserve account.
This year, however, when Saferide needed to be bailed out, Senate decided that they had had enough. Instead of just cutting a check, Senate formed a
committee to study Saferide and make recommendations as to how the service could be saved.
Among the ideas the committee discarded were ways to make Saferide eligible for city of Lawrence money and the feasibility of a donations box.
But one of the options the committee decided to pursue was finding a deep-pocketed corporate sponsor like Anheiser-Busch or McDonald Beverage.
The sponsor could provide a yearly gift to Senate to supplement its annual subsidy, thus ensuring that Saferide stays in operation. The sponsor would buy another way to advertise, some good PR, and, surprise, a healthy tax deduction. Winners all around.
Saferide is an invaluable service for
students and the Lawrence community. Bar patrons who have had too much to drink can get a ride home rather than endanger other drivers. Individuals who don't feel secure walking can get home safely just by picking up the phone.
Some in Student Senate approached the lectern during the Saferide debate ready to kill the program because they thought it enabled alcoholics or rewarded drunks. We're glad that these short-sighted senators were beaten out by more big-picture senators — who saw the difference between the forest and the trees.
Admittedly, Saferide isn't out of the woods yet. But Senate has a good idea that all we think students can and should support.

Congratulations to Student Senate for catching up with the 20th Century.
Their new World Wide Web page is more effective as an outreach tool and resource for students. Among other features, the Web page (www.ukans.edu/~senate/) includes a searchable version of Student Senate Rules and Regulations, senator's individual sites, and a chat area.
An improved Web page was a campaign promise of Student Body President Scott Sullivan and has been the subject of much ballyhoo within 410 Kansas Union on and the Student Senate Listserv. At the beginning of second semester, a web master was hired and the page, which is still
A campaign promise has been filled and students have been served. Sounds good to us.
under construction, will be completely operational by next year.
KU Student government must contend with an alarming level of student apathy, so much so that the first concern of any Senate event — be it a town hall meeting or an election — is simply how to get people there. The improved Web page is one more way to make student government accessible and maybe, just maybe, get students to care. It's a way for students to get passively involved, and given an anti-proactive studentry, we chalk the Web page un as a success.
Airick West, the new web master who will be in control of the page at least until the end of the school year, has been bending over backward to make this page one that will meet everyone needs. If there is something that you would like to see on the Senate home page, call him at 864-3710 or 864-4602.
At a time where nearly every business and even hundreds of students have their own web page, it is nice to see Senate upgrade its page to a level of usability that will match at least, sav. UDKI.
Of all the campaign promises that were made during the last election, at least one has been filled.

If we need smart cards, let's get serious about it
enjoyed listening to Lindy Eakin, associate provost, talk about smart cards at Student Senate last Wednesday night. He answered questions for about two hours about
the new KUIDs that students will have to contend with beginning next year.
语
Andy Obermueller
andyo@kansan.com
P
I have to admit that I am a little sad that the only smart card that KU graduates such as me will possess will be our diplomas. Because these new little IDs have more usable features, than say, my car.
The smart card will hold information about you. It can be used to make small purchases at vending machines or even larger
But I have to say that I still would like to see a few more options added to the smart cards. In fact, truth be known, I am anti-smart card. I am pro KU-Tag. I think that the University should harness the same technology that the State of Kansas has employed to automate the state's toll roads.
purchases at the bookstore. And what's more, because of the features that the computer geeks have worked out, all your purchasing information can be stored on the chip right under your cute little bug. So with the right computer, the University will know everything about which candy machines you use, where you make comies, and when you do your laundry, if ever.
If we had KU-Tags, available in crimson or blue to coordinate with the bookstore's line of Hawkswear, then even more technology could be added to this fine institution. Since automated doors have been installed to help the disabled, we could combine the technologies. All dean's lists students would have the door opened for them by the central tracking computer. A perfect 4.0 would warrant your own theme song to be played on the building's intercom system.
"You are neither enrolled in ethics nor have you had any other midterms coming up," he says, peering over his reading glasses. "You did, however, charge $74 at the Red Lyon last night. Nice try."
The new technology would allow the professor to have the student's schedule pop up on his screen as the he tried to give an excuse for postponing an assignment.
well, so much for technology. At least maybe the library would be improved. You'd walk up to the card catalog and it would know in which class you had a paper due and thus, what books you needed. It would access your academic records to see how difficult of books you could handle, and it would check your schedule to see how much time you had on your hands. Then, it would guide you through the library in a "You are-getting-warmer" type of game to take you right to your thin, easy books.
And parking would be a real cinch. The parking department could gate all the lots with the same type of checkpoints that the turnpike has, and if there's a space and you have the correct permit, the gate's let you drive through. We finally can fire all those ticket-scribing knaves.
KU-tags could even make large classes better. Instructors in such technologically equipped places as Budig Hall could use its computers to know where the smart students were sitting and call on them during lectures. Better answers to well-aimed questions means more learning for
The professor makes a few inquiries to the central computer.
And the banking feature would really be nice. You would walk into the Union to grab a bite to eat. By the time you got to Cafe Salsa, your super nachos already would be made and you would've been billed for it. You'd just walk out into the seating area, sit down, open your mouth and chew. The central computer, which knows your dining habits, would track how long you were there and in about, say, five minutes, somebody would come bring you another Diet Coke.
the dumber students, who will of course, be asked to sit in the back so their snoring won't disturb the smart kids.
Well, so much for technology.
"I was studying for a midterm for my ethics class," a student may claim.
What, you thought the University actually would fire all the parking-ticket people? I mean, c'mon, they have to work somewhere.
But the really neat thing about this is that all this data would be recorded. Your studying habits, the path you take to class, how often you work out at Robinson, even your health data from Watkins and your sports ticket package could be stored on the new KU-Tag. That way, when the University sells this information to marketers, at least the junk mail will be tailored to stuff that you may actually want.
You know, maybe all this technology isn't such a great idea. After all, I already worry about my parents getting my grades. I don't want a letter from the University telling my folks that I haven't been doing my laundry.

Feedback
Suicide story not front-page material
It was with great dismay that I read "E-mail Helps Suicidal Student." While I am extremely impressed and heartened by the quick response to help the suicidal student, I felt the way this was handled was disturbing.
I understand that the intention behind this article was well-meant, but this is not a front-page story. This is someone's life.
Tracy Meyers
Topeka Junior
You must realize that when a person contemplates suicide, he or she feels very much alone. By reporting the student's gender, where he was at the time of the intervention, and where he was going for evaluation, you have all but pointed him out for the crowd. Someone knows this person. What if he lives in a residence hall or fraternity? An unexplained two-day absence in the middle of the week would prompt friends to wonder if he was the one, and then talking about him to their friends. I've been exposed to suicidal people through my job, and I've learned that many of them don't want everyone to know about their despair because then they are treated differently. This student shouldn't be subjected to whispers and stares during classes or have a room fall silent when he walks in. You may have further isolated this person—possibly increasing his chances for a suicide.
Affirmative action story lacked impact
This is in response to Brandon Cople's article, "Proposed bill could change hiring practices within Kansas."
I am amazed at how the Kansan would publish an article such as this without questioning its own racial prejudices. Although the article was written with an obvious attempt at being unbiased, the fact that the Kansan would print such a poorly written,
I propose that this topic be taken up in a more serious manner. Let us hear what the true implications of Kansas Representative Anthony Powell's proposal would have on hiring practices at the University of Kansas. What would the passing of House Bill 2958 say about the state of Kansas and racial bias in hiring and recruitment. What are the true debates and who is talking?
researched and edited article says much more. Several times it was not clear who was being quoted, nor was it clear what issues it was addressing. The ongoing debate about affirmative action is much too important to be handled in such an off-handed manner. Is this the Kansan's way of saying the issue does not merit serious debate?
What ever happened to the daily paper that wasn't afraid to take up public debate?

when I returned from Winter Break to begin reading the Kansan, I realized that it didn't include album reviews anymore. I had mixed emotions about this. On one hand, I didn't have to force myself to read weak, superficial inexperienced reviews by Ashlee "Rock n" Roll anymore. On the other hand, I really wanted to see reviews again. I was about to ask the Kansan about an album reviewing position when I read that Kelly Corcoran, music coordinator for KJHK, took over the spot. I was so excited to hear that someone who deals with music everyday would be critiquing albums. To my disappointment, even though Corcoran took more time talking about musical content than Roll ever did, the reviews overall lacked any relevant information about the album. When true critics review albums, they don't waste paragraph upon paragraph talking about how the band met or the closest
venue they will, play. Corcoran's review of Common began beauti- talky, talking about the content of the album, but then said that it fell short as a whole album. He didn't support his claim at all.
His Neutral Milk Hotel review was horrible. It talked nothing about the content of the album except is sounds like Michael Stripe of REM crossed with Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips. Come on. That isn't a review, that's a fifth-grade analogy.
Why couldn't he describe the quality of melody or spend time talking about the originality of the music without resorting to unprofessional comparisons?
This is the *Kansan*, not high-school paper. If the *Kansan* won national awards for print journalism, it wasn't for album reviews. Remember, you are writing a review of the musical album, not a biography of the band or their concert schedule. So don't waste space rambling on about the band's life, especially since you don't have that much allotted space in the first place. Professionalism is the key. If Corcoran is going to continue writing reviews album reviews, I suggest that he study, the format that David Wild uses for Rolling Stone or reviewers like Entertainment Weekly and pin. I don't think that true music lovers at the University can take much more of this music mockery.

I wanted to commend Rufus Coleman on his courageous testimony about growing up with two moms. It proves two things that I have learned in my life-time: any hardship can be over come and love is the most vital element in overcoming them. In my book, Rufus is ten thousand times more blessed with his family than those who come from traditional but unloving homes.

Dieters ignore, respect drug recalls
Continued from page 1A
"The fen-phen didn't need to be approved because it was already on the market," Smith said. "It was the choice of the physicians to decide whether to use the combination."
Redux, a separate diet drug, had been on the market in Europe since 1985 and received FDA approval for long-term use for weight loss in April 1996. It is simply the active portion of fenfluramine, part of the fen-phen combination.
Smith said approximately 60 of his patients took the appetite suppressants fen-phen, Redux, or a combination of Redux and phentermine during a four-year period. Of those,
"According to the FDA, 30 percent of the people who were on fen-phen may have a heart valve abnormality," Smith said. "So obviously, we're concerned."
about 80 patients have had echocar diograms to determine the condition of their hearts.
we're not seeing anything close to what the FDA said the incidence is," Smith said. Of those who have been tested, only 5 percent of the weight loss clinic patients show heart valve abnormalities.
Smith began prescribing fen-phen at the Med Center in 1994, two years after it gained popularity.
PHEN-FEN
Because diet medications require physician monitoring, his patients came to see him once a month. The initial visit cost $124, and follow-up appointments were $50 each.
The Med Center's weight management clinic is a moneymaker, Smith said, "But it's not a big moneymaker because I don't run it that way."
Allie Stuckey, 22, a respiratory therapy student at the Med Center, first heard about fen-phen and Redux from a family friend two years ago when she was a student at the University of Kansas. At the time, Stuckey, who is 5 feet 2 inches tall, weighed 145 pounds. She wanted to lose from 20 to 25 pounds.
waited at 10:35. "I had done all the diets," Stuckey said. "The fad diets and even the soup diet. Nothing really seemed to work for me."
She contacted her family physician, who referred her to the weight management clinic at the Med Center. Smith put her on a combination of phentermine and Redux. Stuckey lost 20
"People are looking for a magic bullet when it comes to weight loss. I know I was. But fen-phen and redux were not the magic bullets I was looking for. If it takes getting out and taking the dog for longer walks and walking to work, I will"
pounds in one year.
When the FDA pulled Redux off the market, Stuckey continued taking the phentermine, which is not associated with heart valve damage or pulmonary hypertension.
Smith said that the heart valve damage probably was not noted earlier in national studies because a majority of afflicted patients didn't show any symptoms.
"Now any one more commonly involved, the aortic valve, is one where, as a physician, you can't hear the murmur," Smith said.
Van Buckley Former Redux diet drug patient
Patients who have valvular heart disease may notice shortness of breath, but most likely won't notice any changes at all," Smith said. "So, you have a disease that has no symptoms, and you have a disease where clinically, physicians can't detect it."
Because anyone with an abnormal heart murmur is at risk to develop infection on the valve, Smith recommends that all former fen-phen and Redux users take preventive
antibiotics before undergoing dental work or invasive medical procedures. Smith also encourages his patients to get echocardiograms to see if they have heart valve damage, as the FDA has recommended.
"I don't regret taking the Redux." Stuckey said. "There are risks in every medication you take."
Stuckey, who has maintained her weight at 125 pounds, said she didn't have $700 to spend on an echocardiogram. Instead, she continues her monthly follow-up appointments with Smith at the Med Center.
Stuckey said she was glad that Redux had been taken off the market. "It's not safe to have something out there that can damage your heart," she said. Then she added quietly, "But obesity is hard on the heart, too."
Profits from losses?
There's a buzz in J. Scott Bertram's law office across town from the Med Center. Secretaries are taking calls, the fax machines are humming, the words "fen-phen" and "Redux" seem to bounce around the office like pingpong ball
to bounce at start of the month. A月 after fen-phen and Redux were plucked from the market, Bertram began running an eye-catching advertisement in the Kansas City Star which read: "Fen-phen and Redux users may want to consult a lawyer in addition to a doctor." The message was plain and simple: "You may have a claim for monetary damages for harm done to you."
moltely damages or harms Clients may walk into Bertram's office wearing slightly sad expressions, but they leave looking a little more hopeful. /
"We feel very good about these cases," Bertram said, sitting behind a conference table in his Kansas City, Mo., law office. "I feel that the liability against the drug companies appears to be very strong."
One of the primary targets in the class-action arena is American Home Products Corp., Bertram said. American Home Products Corp. manufactures Redux and fenfluramine

Kansas City, Mo., resident Deborah Brown, 54. contacted Bertram after an echocardiogram showed she had valvular heart disease.
Brown is one of nearly 300 former fen-phen and Redux users who responded to Bertram's advertisement.
Of those who contacted him, Bertram said he had accepted more than 30 clients who had confirmed heart valve damage and three who had confirmed primary pulmonary hypertension.
Just how significant might Bertram's advertised "claim for monetary damages," be? That, he said, has yet to be determined.
REDUX
he neged on saying what his chances of winning were, but he did say of his fen-phen and
Redux clients: "These people represent some of the nicest people I've talked to in my entire life
the nicest people I've talked to is "The common thread in any lawsuit is, will the jury like your client? I believe that the drug companies will take into consideration the fact that they have to face a plaintiff who is going to be seen in a sympathetic light by almost all jurors," Bertram said.
Kansas City, Kan., attorney Thomas Sutherland of the Holbrook, Heaven and Osborn law firm, has defended medical malpractice cases since 1986. As of last week, Sutherland said he had not heard much about upcoming fen-phen and Redux lawsuits but said he did not think physicians like Smith would be the primary targets.
"I think that's probably going to be more of a product liability case than it is of medical malpractice." Sutherland said. "There's certainly
going to be some issues in the physicians, but think they will be more with product availability.
No magic bullet
But dieters haven't given up. In the wake of the fen-phen and Redux recall, a new anti-obesity drug. Meridia, received FDA approval last month. The drug company ads already are running in the newspapers.
"Meridia hit the market yesterday, and I'm getting a flood of phone calls," Smith said. Smith said new patients, as well as former fen-phen and Redux patients, are starting to take Meridia.
But not all former fen-phen and Redux users are as enthusiastic.
Med Center media coordinator Buckley, who lost 40 pounds on the Redux-phentermine combination prescribed by Smith, stopped refilling his prescriptions when the FDA recalled Redux in September. By December, he had regained 30 pounds.
pounds. But one thing Buckley said he learned from Smith through his diet-clinic experience was the importance of counting fat grams and in making long-term lifestyle changes.
"People are looking for a magic bullet when it comes to weight loss. I know I was," Buckley said. "But fen-phen and Redux were not the magic bullets I was hoping for."
Buckley said he planned to change the way he lived, rather than rely on medications: "If it takes getting out and taking the dog for longer walks and walking to work, I will."

Late tuition to lighten wallets not schedules
Penalty changes begin fall semester
By Gerry Doyle
gdoyle@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
- Students with late tuition payments no longer will face the immediate specter of disenrollment - for a fee.
Beginning this fall, students who pay their tuition late will face a $100 penalty, instead of forfeiting enrollment in all of their classes. Tuition will be due on Aug. 13. Students who pay their fees after the deadline, but before Sept. 8 will be required to pay the fine. Those who still have not paid on Sept. 8 will be disenrolled from their classes.
The decision to change the policy originated in the provost's office. The old policy called for disenrollment of students who paid their tuition late.
The change occurred because about two-thirds of students who paid their tuition late were reenrolling, said associate provost Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett. Calls from students and parents with stories of lost bills, financial problems or lost federal aid and the fact that most of the people removed from the University's rolls were signing up for classes again prompted the change, McCluskey-Fawcett said.
The move not only will make tuition payment less stressful for students, it also will streamline the administrative processes, she said. "During any given year, two-thirds of the students we drop are intending to come back," she said. "People were irritated with the dropped enrollment; students would be hounding professors for closed class openers. It caused more trouble. The new system is more the way the real world works."
McCluskey-Fawcett said the policy would be in place for at least two semesters.
The late enrollment process often is a considerable hassle to both the University and the student, said Brenda Selman, associate registrar.
About 1,200 students each semester have their enrollments dropped, Selman said. With 80 of those tryhave their enrollments canceled!
■ NEW POLICY: Beginning this fall,
students will have three weeks
past the due date to pay their
enrollment, with a $100 late
charge.
PAYMENT POLICY
OLD POLICY: Students who fail to pay their tuition by its due date have their enrollments cancelled
WHOM IT WILL AFFECT: Students enrolled at the University who, for any reason, are unable to pay their tuition on time – about 1,200 people each semester.
ing to re-enroll in the University, lines for late enrollment become that much longer, she said.
The policy change basically reflected a response to student and University inconveniences and headaches, she said.
"Most of the students don't mean to not pay," she said. "It can be traumatic for them. There was a lot of energy tied up in getting into classes rather than starting school. The whole reason to pay on time is to know who's coming back."
Assistant vice-chancellor Martha Ruel said although some students might be upset with the solution, the whole plan was in their best interest. The addition of a late payment was preferable to continuing the status quo. Ruel said.
"It resulted in a lot of students being upset, parents being upset," she said. "You always hate to put up any kind of fees, but there is a certain expectation to get tuition in on time."
Wamego junior Cate Pugh said a $100 fee would be far more preferable to having enrollment dropped. Pugh said her enrollment was dropped after she spent the summer in Mexico and her bill was lost.
After spending two days trying to scrape together a full-time schedule, she finally was successful, but the new policy sounded a lot better than what she went through.
"I got to school and found out I had been dropped," she said. "I went around begging to teachers, and they mostly laughed at me. I ended up taking classes at odd times. I got around it. But given the state I was in, I would much rather pay 100 bucks. It's such a hassle."

Plan hopes to eliminate ribbon clutter
By Carl Kaminski
kaminski@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The United Jewish Appeal has a plan that could eliminate the clutter of ribbons people are wearing to show support for their favorite causes.
Tomorrow, Alpha Epsilon Pifaternity, The Hilgel Foundation and Greeks Responsible for Education Enhancing Cultural Sensitivity will begin selling plaid ribbons in support of everything. The philanthropy will last until Thursday.
"There are so many philanthropies out there that support just one cause," said Danny Cohn, Omaha, Neb., junior. "We wanted to do one that supported everything and everyone."
Cohn is the chairman of the campus chapter of United Jewish Appeal and a member of Alpha Epsilon Pi. He organized the Plaid Ribbon Campaign as a fund raiser for United Jewish Appeal.
United Jewish Appeal is not solely a Jewish organization, Cohn said. It is a non-political, non-profit organization.
"This is our first opportunity to work with the UJA," said Rob Litt, president of Alpha Epsilon Pi and Plymouth, Minn., sophomore. "We will be involved with almost every aspect of the campaign."
Locally, United Jewish Appeal works to help people in need get off welfare and other government aid programming. It also helps people in need all over the world. During the Bosnia conflict, it helped rescue 200,000 Muslims.
"The monies raised are so widely dispersed that we dabble in a little bit of everything," Cohn said.
Cohn said that half of the money raised will stay in Douglas County.
Cohn said he hoped that the campaign could become an annual philanthropy for United Jewish Appeal.
The ribbons will be sold from 11 a.m. to p.m. tomorrow for $1 in front of Wesco Hall and in the Kansas Union. Volunteers from all three groups also will be passing out fliers on campus to drum up support for the campaign.
Students picket Lawrence Dillons stores
Stores replace truck drivers, sue Teamsters
By Brandon Copley bcopley@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
While many University of Kansas students spent Saturday morning sleeping in, nursery hangovers and getting ready to watch basketball, a handful of KU Young Democrats stood on a 23rd Street sidewalk, buoying drivers and shoppers to urgency Dillons stores.
The students, ranging in number from four to 10, were protesting Dillons' replacement of company truck drivers in favor of a contract with a private trucking firm.
Dillons has sued the Teamsters Union, the organization that represents Dillons drivers, alleging the union has called for a Dillons boycott.

Dillons management in Lawrence would not comment on the protest. Dennis Gaschler, A Dillons spokesman working at Dillons headquarters in Hutchinson, said the company would not engage in a discussion with the protesters.
"We're not going to be dragged into the political arena over a private business matter," he said.
Gallaway said the Young Democrats decided to stage a protest following the state Democratic Party's resolution urging a boycott of Dillons stores. He said the Teamsters were supportive but did not encourage a boycott.
The protesters arrived at their post outside the Dillons parking lot about 10 a.m., and during the next

Emerging from the store with a plastic sack full of groceries, Jill Myrick, Wichita sophomore, said she would continue to shop at Dillons no matter which truckers delivered the groceries.
"I noticed them standing there, but it doesn't matter to me," she said. "That may seem cold-hearted, but..."

Student leaders attend Washington meetings
By Marc Sheforgen
msheforgen@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Scott Sullivan, student body president and Samantha Bowman, Student Legislative Awareness Board director, are in Washington exchanging student legislative ideas with leaders from universities around nation.
Sullivan and Bowman are attending the Grass Roots Legislative Conference, a four-day event held at Washington's Gallaudet University. The event is sponsored by the U.S. Student Association. Sullivan and Bowman's trip is funded by Sullivan's student body president discretionary account.
Sullivan said that he was excited about his and Bowman's chance to interact with about 400 student representatives.
"We've always looked for having representation on a national level,
and I felt that we really should give it a shot," he said.
Saturday and Sunday, Sullivan and Bowman attended workshops on campus safety, student health, strategies for using e-mail and listservs and media relations.
Sullivan said that he and Bowman tried to pick workshops relevant to the University of Kansas and to their individual goals.
Today and tomorrow, the conference's focus will shift to meetings with members of Congress.
Bowman said that she looked forward to talking with legislators from Kansas about need-based grants for students and a campus safety reporting provision that would require administrators to keep track of campus crime reports.
"I think it's an amazing opportunity that we can sit down with our senators and representatives and talk to them about our concerns," Bowman said.
Mr. Hemenway goes to Washington
By Brandon Copley
bcopple@kanson.com
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas is going straight to the top to improve its ranking among research institutions.
In an attempt to attract more federal research money, Chancellor Robert Hemenway will load his airplane with faculty members and jet to Washington several times this year. To help keep tabs on issues in the capital that affect the University, Hemenway has hired a Washington consultant.
Hemenway said the point was to increase University interaction with administrators who control federal research dollars.
"It gives our faculty the chance to better understand the nuances of federal programs," he said. "And that gives them a better understanding of how best to compete for those federal dollars, which is a great benefit."
A physical presence in the capital is part of what led to the University's association with Bob Woody, a Washington lawyer and KU graduate whose job is to keep his eyes and ears open for opportunities and issues that affect the University.
Woody has served as a Washington liaison for the University of South Carolina.
"My experience is that all the strong universities have a presence in Washington," Woody said. "South Carolina was able to get more outstanding students to
attend, increase its stature and improve its rankings across the board. Procuring more federal research funding plays a big part in all of those things.
Leroy Towns, administrative assistant to Sen. Pat Roberts, has known Woody for years.
"In this day and age where things happen pretty fast, having someone in Bob's position is critical," he said. "He can keep us informed about KU's concerns, and he can run some interference with the agencies when grants and other business gets tied up in red tape, and it helps us to have somebody who can spot those ties ups and get us involved."
In February, Hemenway also made the rounds of the Kansas congressional delegation, stressing that the economic impact University research and the money it brings can have on Kansas.
Towns was in Sen. Pat Roberts' office during Hemenway's visit. Towns said that the senator supports the University's effort.
"He's instructed his staff to start looking at programs and talking to agencies to make sure KU is getting a fair shake," Towns said. "It's absolutely a priority for Sen. Roberts to get more dollars in to KU."
Among the faculty that went in February was Larry Cheung, chairman of surgery at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Ucheung visited with National Institute of Health officials about how a junior faculty member could acquire grants of his own.

Women from around the world gathered yesterday at a reception in the Malott Room of the Kansas Union to commemorate International Women's Day.
About 20 women attended the reception from 2 to 4 p.m., which was co-sponsored by International Student Services and the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center.
Women who attended the reception mingled and talked to one another about cultural similarities and differences. Several women were dressed in clothing that represented their countries or cultures.
Rachel Lee, graduate assistant for the center, said the celebration was part of the observance of March as Women's History Month. She said the reception was an opportunity to honor international students for the enrichment they added to the University of Kansas.
"One of the wonderful aspects about being in a university community is the diversity of people that you meet," Lee said. "They also kind of help educate all of us and connect us to the world of women outside of the United States."
"I'm really happy that some people chose to wear their outfits," said
Daphne Johnston, interim director of International Student Services. "Several of them said that they hardly ever get a chance to do that, outside of maybe a cultural celebration that their nationality group might be doing."
Yuan Zhao, Shanghai, China, graduate student wore a Qi Pao, which is a traditional Chinese dress. She said the dress was too formal for most occasions.
Johnston said International Women's Day was much more widely celebrated in other countries.
"We cannot wear this dress every day," Zhao said. "We usually just wear T-shirts and blue jeans."
"Some students here would have been used to having something much more special going on today," Johnston said. "Whereas, it kind of just goes by most Americans, without them even knowing that it's a
Women's HISTORY MONTH
day of importance."
Mariel Sinkov, Moscow junior,
said in Russia, International
Women's Day was similar to Valentine's Day in the United States. She said women in Russia received gifts and flowers. Sinkov said her husband took her out to dinner yesterday to celebrate the holiday.
"Since I have been here in the United States, the meaning of the eighth of March has sort of diminished for me," Sinkov said. "Women are not celebrating it in the United States as much as they are in Russia."
Johnston said in past years, International Women's Day had been commemorated by a panel discussion. This year, she said Barbara Ballard, director of the women's center, wanted to do something different and provide women more of an opportunity to interact.
"It's so often on a big campus like this that you get into your own department or your own cultural group." Johnston said. "Or, your group of people is sort of limited because of time."

County clinic offers vaccinations
By Graham K. Johnson
gjohnson@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Students and Lawrence residents looking for inexpensive immunizations for their children can visit the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department's immunization clinic.
The department, located at 336 Missouri Street, provides a clinic open to all Douglas County residents. The clinic offers many types of vaccinations, including childhood vaccinations, tetanus boosters and vaccinations for travelers.
Jodie Patterson, a registered nurse who works at the clinic, said that the clinic was not busy this time of the year.
"It is going to start to pick up and then by summer, in terms of vaccinations, we're pretty busy," Patterson said.
IMMUNIZATION CLINIC
The bulk of the clinic's business is providing young children vaccinations against diseases. The clinic is participating in a nationwide effort to have 90 percent of children up-to-date on their vaccinations by the year 2000.
Patterson said vaccinations would increase during the summer as a result of the advent round-up, which is the annual preparation and vaccination of preschool and kindergarten-age children.
Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department Immunization Clinic
The clinic is open: M-F 8:30 (9:30 on Tuesdays) to 11:30 a.m. and 1:00 to 4:30 with the exception of Monday and Thursday (open until 7 or 8 p.m.)
100%
The clinic also is open from 10:00 a.m. to noon on the first Saturday of each month.

The clinic offers children's immunizations for Hepatitis B; diphemeria; whooping cough; Haemophilus Influenza Type B; polio; measles, mumps and Rubella; chicken pox; and tetanus.
The clinic offers vaccinations for these travel-related diseases:
Yellow fever, Hepatitis A, meningitis, typhoid fever, cholera, and malaria.
Children should have most of the major vaccinations by the age of two, said Barbara Schnitker, director of nurses at the department.
The nationwide effort is being aided by a federal program established by the Clinton administration in 1994. The federal program, Vaccines for Children, subsidizes
the cost of the vaccines.
Schnitker said that although the clinic charged parents a $6 administrative fee, the service was essentially free.
The clinic also provides many vaccinations for vacationing students or Lawrence residents.
"No one is denied for lack of funds," she said.
"It does seem like we get a lot just before spring break," Patterson said.
to foreign countries cost up to $60, but it is worthwhile for several reasons. Patterson said.
She said that it was important because of the obvious health benefits, but that it was also important because many countries require certain vaccinations.
Vaccinations for those traveling
She said it was important that travelers came in for vaccinations early. She said that once kindergarten and preschool-age children came rolling in, students might face a 30-minute wait.

Sequel has hard time catching up
By Jeremy M. Doherty jidoherty@kansan.com Kansan movie critic
U. S. Marshals could be considered the cinematic equivalent of an Iggy Pop anthem: loud, intense and instantly forgettable.
At its best, this sequel to 1993's The Fugitive offers some of the most gripping shootouts and chase sequences to be found in contemporary action movies.
At its weakest, director Stuart Baird (Executive Decision) is too content with simple thrills, and he blatantly recycles elements from the earlier movie. Plus, Marshals lacks an emotional core to match Harrison Ford's ferociously determined performance as the wrongly convicted Richard Kimble.
What *Marshals* does provide is another spikes-high turn by Tommy Lee Jones in his Oscar-winning role of dogged lawman Sam Gerard. A frenzied compendium of sarcasm and no-nonsense attitude, Jones once again gives his famous alter ego an engagesly abrasive edge.
This time, Gerard is out to nab Mark Roberts (Wesley Snipes), a convict who killed two government agents and then escaped after the plane he was being transferred on crashed.
Gerard finds his investigation impeded by some shady federal officials, who deposit one of their own agents (Robert Downey, Jr.) onto his team.
It turns out Roberts is a secret government operative named Sheridan who was set up on the double-murder charge.
Baird keeps things moving at a crackerjack pace, tossing in allusions to classic action movies like Deliverance and, of course, The Fugitive. Gerard's first appearance in the movie finds him wearing a chicken suit while undercover, a sly reference to the opening scene of William Friedkin's The French Connection. It makes sense. Who else is Gerard but a 1990s version of Popeye Dove?
Sheridan isn't that interesting a character, and writer John Pogue keeps him at arm's length. However, Downey applies an appropriately slimy sheen to his role as a fed who knows more than he reveals.
The movie's two main set pieces, the aforementioned plane crash and a sequence in which Sheridan leaps off a building's roof bear too much of a resemblance to the first movie.
Another scene, where Gerard comes close to capturing his prey in a cemetery, is the closest this sequel comes to matching the flair of its predecessor.
Kill Creek mystery gig draws 120 to Jaybowl
By Marcelo Vilela
mvillea@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
Bowling pins glowing in the dark, lots of teenagers and an undercover band — all these elements made for a unique night at the Jawbull Friday.
The Jaybowl housed the last event for SUA'a 60th anniversary, which included a concert and free birthday cake. The bands that played were the Believe It Or Notes and Kill Creek, under the name of Big Russian. About 120 people attended the event.
The bowling venue also debuted their new lighting system. Glow-in-the-dark lanes and pins shone under a set of disco lights.
The glow-in-the-dark phenomena started three years ago," said Howard Milton, SUA's graduate assistant. "It targets an age group between 18 and 24 years old, which fits KU students."
Maggie Drewiczak. Lawrence junior, is a regular bowler at the Jaybow and
"It's really different," Drewiczak said. "It's more fun to come in here, and it adds to the game."
she said she enjoyed the new lights.
The first band to play was Big Russian, also known as Kill Creek. Until the Jaybowl concert, the group hadn't played together for two years.
Because of the band's popularity, SUA asked Kill Creek to play under a different name so that the Jaybowl could accommodate the crowd, said Ron Hayes, the band's guitar player. After the show, the band reassumed its original name.
Kill Creek also had a different look. Three of the four band members were wearing fake moustaches.
Chris Uhlich, a Kansas State University student, drove all the way from Manhattan to watch the band.
Chris Hayes, brother of Kill Creek guitar player Ron Hayes, was surprised when he found out that his brother's band was playing
under a different name.
"I thought they were still broken up," Hayes said. "It's been a long time since they last played together."
Hayes said that once the word got around that Kill Creek was back, they would start playing in bigger venues, where more people would have the chance to see them.
The second band to play was the Believe It Or Nots. Like Kill Creek, they played an ensemble of old and new songs.
"We're setting a record being a band playing at the Jaybowl twice now," said Greg Franklin, the Believe It Or Not's vocalist.
The Believe It Or Nots played a version of The Monkees" "I'm a Believer" dedicated to the newlywed vocalist of Kill Creek, Scott Born. Franklin said that he had always been a fan of Kill Creek.
"A lot of people showed up to see and support Kill Creek. They're a great band," Franklin said.

Film makers serve a slice of Americana
By Jeremy M. Doherty jdoherty@kansan.com Kanson movie critic
Those who fell in love with
The Big Lebowski finds its creators, Joel and Ethan Coen, in their most raucous, who-the-helicares mood in at least a decade. In filling the screen with cheaply dressed fellows who bowl for pleasure, they have crafted a gem of an American film.
the eerie beauty and structured style of Fargo and Miller's Crossing are bound to be puzzled. However, diehard fans of the Coens' Raising Arizona will love this saga of a perpetually stoned bowler known as the Dude (Jeff Bridges).
Dude lives a happy but point less existence.
Unemployed and unmarried, the Dude lives for his next joint and a decent night at the bowling alley. Long-haired and usually sporting a bathrobe, the
The Dude is known as Jeffrey Lebowski, also the moniker of an obscenely rich philanthropist. As a result, a couple of musclemen break into his house and demand money.
Before this confusion can be cleared, one of the thugs relieves himself on the Dude's beloved Oriental rug.
There is no way to describe
the dozens of offshoots in which the Coens engage without spoiling the fun. Basically, the Dude tries to hit up the other Lebowski (David Huddleston) for a new rug and winds up in a kidnapping/ransom deal.
The most delicious cameo belongs to John Turturro, playing a purple-clad bowler who taunts the Dude and his buds with sexually tinged insults and gestures.
Dude's well-worn skin. Punctuating each slurred sentence with "man," Bridges creates a lovable character.
Bridges seems at home in the
He is upstaged by John Goodman, who has a beauty of a role as the Dude's bowling partner, Walter. Much controversy will be raised about Lebowski's high reliance upon the "f"word, but the Coens use it so carefully that each utterance becomes an all-out punch line.

Court keeps college students, beach clean
The Associated Press
PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla.—Spring Break Court is in session.
Vacationing college students nabbed for misdemeanors like underage drinking and disorderly conduct can expect some immediate justice at this popular spring break destination. And they can avoid a criminal record by giving up a day at the beach for a day cleaning up the beach.
Starting today, instead of processing offenders through normal criminal channels, Bay County judges will hold court at City Hall in this Florida Panhandle resort town. The
plan mirrors a similar program used at Key West for several years
First time offenders can keep their records clean by doing up to eight hours of community service cleaning beaches, parks and roadways.
"They're going to pick up trash on the side of the road they probably threw down there last night," Police Chief J.B. Holloway said. "We hope their friends will see them and decide that they want to behave a little better."
Other options are pleading guilty and paying a $175 fine or pleading innocent and having to return for trial. But the community service option carries a distinct advantage
"If they choose that then they don't have a record." Holloway said. "Mom and Daddy don't have to know about it."
for youthful offenders.
Justice will be swift.
As soon as you leave that courtroom you step onto a work van," Holloway said.
The Spring Break Court, which opens today operate seven days a week until April 4. Panama City Beach usually receives about 500,000 visitors during the four-week spring break period.
City Manager Richard Jackson said that about 60 percent of those who have gone to Spring Break Court in Key West opted for the community service program. He expects about 1,500 people to go through Panama City Beach's spring court.
It is expected to relieve regular court dockets that usually get clogged with spring break violators.
An open letter was being passed out to warn spring visitors what to expect:
"Welcome. We hope you have fun and return home safely. But know this: some things are just plain stupid and dangerous, and if we catch you doing something stupid and dangerous that is illegal, we are going to do our best to stop you in a fair and effective way."

Women's Day focuses on Afghanistan changes
The Associated Press
KABUL, Afghanistan — The Taliban army that governs most of Afghanistan dismissed as infidels international campaigners trying to improve the rights of women living under their strict Islamic rule.
PAPERBACK
Pope John Paul It: decried the suffering of women.
"The Taliban has respect for March 8, which is being called InternationaI Women's Day." Taliban Deputy Information Minister Abdul Rehman Ottagi said
Sunday. "Islam gives full rights to women and we, too, uphold women's dignity."
Women's HISTORY MONTH
Afghan women.
The Taliban, which controls 85 percent of Afghanistan including the capital, Kabul, has forced women to quit their jobs, closed schools for girls and forbidden women to appear outside their homes without the all-enveloping garment known as the burqa. Women who travel with an unrelated male can be stoned to death. A seven-woman panel, led by European Union Human Rights Commissioner Emma Bonino, is trying to persuade governments, international groups and prominent individuals to sign an appeal for fewer restrictions on
"We condemn this appeal by Bonino," said Ottaqi. "She and the others are infidels who want to see women shed their vells and bring humiliation to our traditions and our religion."
Binono, who was detained briefly by the Taliban while visiting Kabul last year, said the Taliban misinterpreted the appeal. She said it is not an attack on Islam, but on the Taliban's strict interpretation based on tribal culture and tradition.
Ottaqi said the Taliban will reopen schools for girls and let women work as soon as they can restore peace and security. The Taliban is fighting an opposition alliance for control of the remaining 15 percent of Afghanistan.
Elsewhere on International Women's Day:
—At the Vatican, Pope John Paul II decried the suffering of women in some parts of the world as he took note of Women's Day celebration in many countries.
In Spain, 4,000 women marched through downtown Madrid to protest the domestic violence deaths of 91 women in the country last year.
About 100 Uighur women, members of the Turkish minority in China, staged a sit-in in front of the Chinese consulate in Istanbul to denounce China's abortion policy and threw dolls into the consulate garden.
Weekend storm cripples travel on Midwest roads
Up to 10 inches of snow falls in Kansas
The Associated Press
OMAHA, Neb. — More than a foot of wind-driven snow paralyzed travel across the Midwest yesterday. One traffic death was blamed on the storm.
A 250-mile stretch of Interstate 80 across Nebraska was closed for a second day, with other roads closed in Kansas. Snow carried by 40-mph winds cut visibility near'

to zero in places and drifts were reported up to 8 feet high in Des Moines, Iowa.
The snow blew out of the central Rockies on Saturday, closing some roads in Colorado. By yesterday the storm stretched from Kansas to Upper Michigan.
Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa bore the brunt of the storm with 13 inches of snow Sunday in central Iowa, a foot in parts of Nebraska and 9 to 10 inches in Kansas. Winds gusting to more than 40 mph blew cars off slippery roads near Grand Island, Neb., on Saturday.
Stranded motorists filled roadside motels in Kansas, where a woman was killed when her 15-year-old boy lost control of their car on a slippery road.
"It's nasty out," said Chris Robertson, 46, a clerk who managed to get to work at an Omaha
convenience store. "I luckily have chains for the car I drive and without them I wouldn't have gotten here."
Even snowplows got stuck in places, and some Iowa counties pulled their plows off the roads.
"It's drifting back as soon as we get them plowed off." Iowa engineer Harold Jensen said Sunday. "We're saving our plows for the morning."

Flight in and out of Des Moines International Airport were canceled for part of the day.
About 45 students from the University of Wisconsin-Stout at Menomonie spent the night snowbound at a truck stop along I-80 west of Omaha, watching movies on television and talking about the weather. They had been headed for Jackson, Wyo., on a ski trip.
"This is my one week of vacation," said Dave Kleber, 23, a friend of one of the Wisconsin students who was along on the bus trip. "I'm doing it. Sitting in the snow."
The storm came 19 weeks after an October blast that devastated much of Nebraska by weighing down and destroying thousands of trees that were still heavy with leaves. That storm caused nearly $42 million in damage and knocked out power to at least 150,000 customers in Omaha and Lincoln.
Taco Bell dog offends Hispanics
The Associated Press
TAMPA, Fla. - A Hispanic civil-rights group wants Taco Bell to quit running commercials that feature a pointy-eared, pint-sized, Spanish-speaking Chihuahua named Dinky.
The fast-food chain uses the dog to hype its products with the signature phrase "Yo quiero Taco Bell," which means "I want Taco Bell."
"I think it is very demeaning," says Gabriel Cazares, a former Clearwater, Fla., mayor who is of Mexican descent. "It is definitely a hate crime that leads to the type of immigrant bashing that Hispanics are now up against."
Cazares is president of the local chapter of the League of United Latin American Citizens, the country's oldest Hispanic civil rights group. The chapter is urging Hispanics to boycott Taco Bell and to write to its corporate headquarters in Irvine, Calif. A few other chapters have followed suit.
"I think their insensitivity is criminal and the only way we can stop them is to hit them in their pocketbooks," Cazares said.
Taco Bell spokeswoman Laurie Gannon said the company had not received any negative comments about the dog, which has appeared in four commercials so far.
"We don't believe we're portraying the dog in a fashion that is derogatory or insensitive toward Mexicans," she said. "In fact, we think the commercials portray a sort of quasi-Mexican heritage that is cool and hip."
Gannon did Dinky had been a hit for Taco Bell, which does $4.9 billion in sales a year at 4.900 restaurants nationwide.
This is not the first time a corporation has been accused of insensitivity toward Mexicans. In the early 1970s, Frito-Lay used a character called the Frito Bandito to sell its corn chips. The company stopped after protests from Hispanic groups.

MARCH MADNESS
Illegal betting pools dealt with by police
By Laura Roddy
lroddy@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
It's tournament time, and many students may ante up for March Madness betting pools, but the University of Kansas Office of Public Safety is reminding students that pools are against the law.
Sgt. Sch Keary of the KU public safety office said that even though the pools were popular this time of year, that didn't change the law.
"Gambling in Kansas, other than those exceptions listed by law, is illegal." he said.
Exceptions include the state lottery, tribal gaming, bingo and exchanging securities.
"Sports pools are considered gambling and are against the law," Keary said. "If we receive information about one of these
going on, we will investigate and take whatever action is appropriate."
The police have not investigated many betting pools recently, he said. Keary said that the police had approached the organizer of one pool and had stopped it before it started.
Kelly Harvey, Jefferson City, Mo., freshman, said that some of her friends enjoyed participating in pools and that they seemed pretty harmless.
"I don't see the whole illegality of it," Harvey said. "It's fun as long as it's not out of control."
She said that betting seemed to go hand in hand with March Madness.
"It's the big dance," she said. "It adds a bit of edge to the tournament."
Anthony Nicholson, Overland Park junior, said that Battenfeld

Scholarship Hall did not have an official pool.
"People in the hall always do them." Nicholson said.
Nicholson said the Super Bowl and the NCAA Tournament were the biggest events for betting pools. He said even people who weren't regular gamblers enjoyed participating.
"They pick a team because it's fun," he said.
Internet offers legal ways to predict NCAA victors
By Aaron Knopf
aknopf@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
ESPN, PointCast and other Internet content providers are holding online pools that provide updates of tournament results, tabulate pool standings and offer prizes to the winners. Because there is no entry fee for the pools, they are not considered gambling.
Today is the day for college basketball fans at the University of Kansas to make predictions about the NCAA men's and women's basketball tournaments.
Anyone seeking to join a free prediction contest should check out the offerings on the Internet.
ESPN SportsZone's Tournament Challenge is one pool for the men's tourney. The grand-prize winner of Tournament Challenge will receive a trip to the 1999 Final Four in St. Petersburg, Fla.
According to the site's official rules, Tournament Challenge started accepting participants one hour after yesterday's official selections. The site will accept predictions until the tipoff of the first game on Thursday. Only one entry per e-mail address is allowed.
Another free online pool for the men's tournament is on a Web site targeted at students. The Student.com 1998 Final Four pool grand prize is $250.
Student.com requires a name and an e-mail address. The sign-up period for entering is March 8-12.
PointCast also is sponsoring an online contest directed at college students through its College Network.
To participate in Hoop Mania, computer users must download PointCast's software for Windows 95 or Windows NT. The software is available for free at PointCast's Web site.
Unlike traditional Web browsing. PointCast does not require users to visit specific sites to access information. Instead, the service is more like broadcast television.
Although PointCast does not require users to browse the Web to access information, it does require users to connect to the Internet to receive updates.

Madness begins for stores who stock up on chips and beer
By Jeremy M. Doherty
idoherty@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Local quickie shops and carry-out joints are reporting healthy sales of unhealthy foods so far during March.
Business has been so robust that area merchants said they were having trouble keeping the shelves fully stocked.
Matt Johnson, clerk at Jayhawk Food Mart, 701 W. 9th St., said that he had kept busy and expected the rusn to continue.
"We're moving a lot of 2 liters and a lot of chips," Johnson said. "Plus, the students buy a lot of cigarettes, too, during midterms."
Alcohol sales also have been impressive, Johnson said.
"We're selling about 10 more cases of beer per week than we usually do," he said.
Alcohol sales aren't up at the Kwik Shop at 1420 Kasold Dr, but other junk foods are selling in greater numbers, said Kelly Hadl, assistant manager of Kwik Shop.
"We're not selling a lot more liquor, just a lot of candy bars and a lot of water," Hadl said. "The kids have bought a lot of bottled water, juices and Gatorade. Also, 80-cents bags of chips are big, too."
Justin Schmidt. shift manager at Pizza Hut, 804
lowa St. said that he saw more bulk orders come in during March Madness.
"We're getting about three to four of those a day now," Schmidt said. "We used to only deal with about one to two of those on a weekend."
Part of the boost in sales can be attributed to the high number of repeat customers.
"There are definitely regulars who come in," Johnson said. "I'm on a first-name basis with many of them."
Tournament schedules often affect the number of customers. Schmidt said.
"It usually picks up around game time," Schmidt said. "We deal mostly with carry outs. We're getting about 10-15 percent more orders at this time of year than during the regular times."
Convenience stores have had to modify orders and work schedules to satisfy the demand.
"Usually twice a week we have to have somebody stock up the store on the 2-liters and the chips," Johnson said. "We've had to order a lot more product."
Hadi said the increase in customers was fairly predictable.
"The weather really affects what the crowd is like. And of course, the day of the week matters too," Hadl said. "Sunday is a steady day, and on Fridays, students stop by on their way out of town. We go by the calendar. We do order by what holidays or games are coming up."

Softball team loses three in Invitational
By Laura Bokenkroger
Kansan sportswriter
After losing three of its four games this weekend at the Bulldog Invitational in Fresno, Calif., the Kansas softball team fell to a disappointing 11-11 on the season.
Kansas dropped its first game to Tennessee 2-0 on Friday. The Jayhawks committed six errors, which allowed the Volunteers to score two unearned runs.
The second game was called after
Sygball
six innings
when the
Jayhawks
took an 8-0
lead against
Indiana. Christy McPhail pitched the shutout, and first baseman Shannon Stanwix went two for three.
Kansas fell behind 3-0 early against UCLA. The Jayhawks posted four hits in the fourth but lost to the Bruins 6-3.
Lost the Jayhawks battled No. 5 Fresno State in their last game of the weekend in front of 2,189 people. All American Bulldog pitcher
Stanwix broke up the no-hitter with a single to left field. Although the Jayhawks lost 2-0, their defense made no errors.
Amanda Scott hit a home run, giving Fresno State a one-run lead. Scott threw a no-hitter through six innings, and the Bulldogs scored again in the top of the seventh.
"The weekend finished on an upbeat," Kansas softball coach Tracy Bunge said. "Obviously, you don't like to finish with a loss, but at least we played well."
"Even though we didn't get the hits against Fresno, it was our best defensive performance of the year,"
This is the first time that the Jayhawks' record has been below 500 after 22 games since 1979.
said left fielder Sara Holland.
"Being 11-11 is definitely not where we wanted to be right now, but we found a lot of fight in us this weekend," Holland said. "This could be a turning point. We're going to build on this and move on."
Holland, who was selected to the all-tournament team, moved into fourth place in Kansas' career hit list with her one-for-two performance against Tennessee.
The Jayhawks travel to Arkansas on Wednesday for a doubleheader against the Razorbacks.

Jayhawks topple William and Mary
By Erin Thompson
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women's tennis team put together one of its most impressive wins of the season yesterday.
The No. 27 Jayhawks won two of three matches this weekend, including a 5-3 defeat of the 11th-ranked William and Mary Tribe last night at Alvamar Racquet Club.
"We played really well and fought hard," Senior Christie Sim said. "It got tight, but we kept fighting."
The Jayhawks jumped out to a 4-0 lead, winning the top four singles matches.
Senior Kylie Hunt continued her dominating play at the No. 1 singles spot. She defeated Lauren Nikolau, who is ranked 12th in the nation, and improved her record to 9-1.
After winning the top four matches, the Jayhaws dropped the No. 5 and No. 6 single matches, and the momentum switched to the Tribe's side.
"William and Mary did a very good job of fighting back after we dominated for nearly two hours of play," Kansas coach Roland Thornyvist said.
Lack of consistency in doubles play has plagued the Jayhawks this season, but it was not a problem yesterday. Sim and Hunt played together at
the top doubles spot and defeated Nikolaus and Michelle O.
"At doubles, that was the best we've played this season," Sim said. "Overall, it was probably one or one of two of our best matches."
Thornyvist said he was pleased to see Hunt and Sim take control and finish off William and Mary.
The Jayhawks were determined to win yesterday after losing to regional rival Brigham Young 3-6 on Friday.
The Cougars are ranked first in the central region, and the Jayhawks are second. Kansas had hoped to switch the rankings with a win.
The Jayhawks won three of six singles matches but were unable to pull off a win in doubles.
The Brigham Young Cougars are ranked 14th in the nation but are expected to move up in the polls after defeating William and Mary on Saturday.
The Jayhawks bounced back on Saturday and smothered Iowa State 8-1 in the first match of Big 12 play.
The Jayhawks will see their next action Saturday in Boulder, Colo., against the Colorado Buffaloes.
Men's tennis team scores high before break
By Erin Thompson
Kansan sportswriter
They defeated Oklahoma 4-3 yesterday at Woodside Racquet Club in Kansas City.
Playing without senior star Enrique Abaroa was not a problem for the Kansas men's tennis team this weekend.
The Jayhawks put together two conference wins that will boost the team's confidence going into a week off.
Abarao remains out because of a back injury he suffered on Feb. 22 against Boise State.
"It was a tough win without Enrique," junior Kenny Powell said. "For us to pull this win off will be really good for our confidence."
Kansas won the top four singles matches to clinch the win.
"Today we won the one, two three and four singles matches without Enrique," Powell said. "We really stepped up our singles play."
Powell won his fourth match in a row at No. 3 singles. Powell transferred from Georgia Tech this seaunior Luis Uribe. "We can concentrate and practice harder. We really need to concentrate on doubles play at practice."
"I think the guys see that I'm a competitor, and now I've won four in a row," he said. "I think I've gained their respect, and from here on out it's nothing but positive."
Kenny Powell
No. 3 singles player
"I think the guys see that I'm a competitor, and now I've won four in a row," he said. "I think I've gained their respect, and from here on out it's nothing but positive."
Doubles play has been a concern for Kansas this season, but Kansas has found winning combinations.
Friday the Jayhawks traveled to Lincoln to face Nebraska. They defeated the Cornhuskers 4-3.
"We've found the teams; now we can practice doubles play and work on strategies." Powell said.
"It's important to have these two wins before this week off," said

LaFrentz to lead Jayhawks in search of elusive title
Continued from page 16A

thing. He was too nice to do anything."

Opponents wouldn't know that by his performance the past two seasons.
When Scot Pollard suffered a broken foot last season, LaFrentz emerged as the Jayhawks' most explosive and dominating player.
LaFrentz recorded a remarkable 21 double-doubles last season, including 13 in the last 18 games. He led the team in points (18.5) and rebounds (9.3) per game.
A challenging senior season May 5,1997
He was a unanimous pick for Big 12 Conference Player of the Year and for All-American honors last season. But the question after his breakthrough season was whether LaFrentz would return for a senior encore.
May, 1975.
LaFrentz and teammate Paul Pierce announced that they would return to Kansas for another season. Jayhawk basketball fans from across the state breathed a collective sign of relief when the decision was made public.
He had a career-high 32 points in a 98-87 victory against Arizona, and he followed that performance with seven consecutive double-doubles, showing why he was a consensus All-American.
LaFrentz took out a $2.7 million insurance policy and all seemed well in Kansas. But the road he traveled proved to be a rocky drive through peaks and valleys
The season had been a success until trouble struck in paradise.
LaFrentz broke his right hand during a practice Dec. 26 in Hawaii when center Eric Chenowith attempted to swat a LaFrentz shot. The injury forced him to the bench, where he watched Kansas lose 76-65 to Hawaii in the championship game of the Rainbow Classic in Honolulu.
The Jayhawks also lost Jan. 19 at Missouri, 74-73, as they finished a 7-2 run without their big man.
"watching the games was the hardest part," LaFrentz said while he was injured. "It gives you a new appreciation for things that you may have taken for granted. I never thought I'd miss going to practice."
LaFrentz returned to the start-
ing lineup Jan. 24 against Texas
Tech, five days after the Missouri
loss. He recorded game highs of 31
points and 15 rebounds and added
three steals in his commanding performance.
LaFrentz said Williams warned him not to try to make up for lost time in one afternoon.
Dollars and sense
"The way I played, it was coming to me easily, and the guys eased me back into the lineup."
LaFrentz said after the Texas Tech game. "Coach made it a point and said 'Don't try to get back those nine games right away.' But those nine games were tough to sit through."
Less than one month away from the NCAA Tournament, members of the media wondered whether LaFrentz had any regrets about returning for his senior season.
He paused when a reporter asked about the NBA's lucrative contracts and about the lure of being a millionaire.
being a marketer.
"I always think about that question when it is asked of me because of a couple million dollars," LaFrentz said. "Would I like to have a couple million dollars right now?
"Yeah, I'd like to be rich right now," he said. "But the money will be there, and I don't think that money could ever replace the experiences that I've had and the maturing that I've done in the past year."
People who have known LaFrentz would argue that he already had matured.
Shana Burton, Monona junior,
has known LaFrentz since she was
in the sixth grade and LaFrentz
the seventh.
"I think he was always goal-oriented, though I think he knew he would go somewhere with basketball," Burton said. "He knew he had the ability, but he was always modest about what he accomplished."
Last week, LaFrentz was named a unanimous selection for the first team All-Big 12 Conference team and won Big 12 Conference Player of the Year honors. He averages 20.1 points and 11.3 rebounds per game.
Still, people created theories about why LaFrentz returned for his senior season.
He wanted national Player of the Year honors. He wanted a trip to the Final Four. He wanted the national championship. He wanted to become the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft.
But maybe the fact that LaFrentz is the son of two teachers helped persuade LaFrentz to
"I want to complete things that I start," LaFrentz said. "At the time I made the decision, I felt that if I had left early after three years, my career never would have come to an end. And academically, I was not complete. I was not done."
The end of a journey
The Final Chapter of this story has not been written.
But LaFrentz, that small-town
child, never considered himself a long-shot to succeed. And according to those who have known him longest, he has not changed much.
"Some people in Monona do ask for autographs and things of that nature, but most of the time he's just like anyone else." Burton said. "Maybe that's because we've known him as a friend first and a basketball player second."
Most people across Kansas know Raef LaFrentz the basketball player. The All-American, the southpaw dunks. The fade
away jumpshot with finesse.
Those are the memories of Kansas basketball fans as the Jayhawks prepare for the NCAA Tournament this week.
LaFrentz is No. 2 among scoring and rebounding leaders in Kansas history. He and Danny Manning are the only Jayhawks to record more than 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds in their careers.
But statistics alone cannot define a team player, one who covets his last opportunity to win the NCAA Championship this month.
LaFrentz said yesterday that winning the NCAA Tournament would fulfill a childhood dream
"It would be a great way to cap off my career," LaFrentz said. "It's something that I've dreamed of. In the four years that I've been here, we've had four great teams.
your great team.
"This is my last chance," he said. "It's something that we're just going to have to do. We have the coaches. We have the players. And we have the pride and heart to get it done."

Small-town guy, big-time star

Small Town, U.S.A.
Small Town.
A man hand crafts wooden Jayhawks and sells them to the townspeople. Those Jayhawks stand in front lawns and dangle in the windows of homes and stores across town.
People at the coffeehouse talk about last night's game, about how Kansas won yet again. They know the names of every Kansas player. They know who led the team in scoring and what records were broken or extended.
The city represents the dreams of every starry-eyed kid who wanted to hit the big time, who wanted to beat the odds. The people of Monona have a hometown hero, and they proudly remind their visitors of his small-town heritage.
the town is not Lawrence or any other city in Kansas for that matter. This is Monona, Iowa. Population: 2,000.
This is the story of an all-American kid. He was never too big to be humble and never too small not to be noticed.
Growing tall
This is the story of Raef LaFrentz.
LaFrentz never was a small child.
he, he stood at 6-foot-3-
inches. In the 10th grade, he was 6-foot-
9-inches. And by the time LaFrentz
reached the 11th
grade, he had
sprouted to 6-foot-11 inches his height today.
The first time Eric Dettbarn, boys' basketball coach at MFL-Mar Mac High School in Iowa, saw a Frentz, he was a 5-foot-11-
LaFrentz, he was a 5-foot-11-inch sixth-grader.
In time, Dettbarn, 33, said he knew when to stop challenging LaFrentz to one-on-one basketball games.
"We used to play one-on-one all the time, and once I beat him when he was in the eighth grade," Dettbarn said. "I haven't played him since then. He always wanted a rematch. But I have one up on him and that will never change."
Linda McFarlane, who has lived in Monona since 1984, said LaFrentz often played at a basketball court in the town park.
"He would go over there and shoot hoops just like the rest of the kids." McFarlane said. "They would play pick-up games and Raef was just like anyone
else. He was really just one of the boys." Maybe as a person, but not as a basketball player.
LaFrentz dominated opponents during his high school years, partly because no team could muster a center taller than 6-foot-4-inches.
He carried MFL-Mar Mac to the Class 2A state playoffs for the first time in school history during his junior season in 1993. In the sub-state game, LaFrentz led MFL-Mar Mac to victory against No.1 Aplington-Parkersburg, which had won 72 consecutive games.
LaFrentz also led his school to the state playoffs the following year, when he averaged 34.5 points, 16.3 rebounds and six blocked shots per game while hitting 74 percent of his shots.
"We had a solid team overall, but Raef really was the focus," Dettbarn said. "He had an incredible career here. But we knew there would be pressure on him to stay around a while longer."
LaFrentz was swamped with letters and phone calls from coaches across the country his senior season.
Becoming a Jayhawk
He was visited by assistant coaches representing Kansas, Iowa, Iowa State, Missouri, Arizona, Kentucky, Indiana and Seton Hall, among others. Some lowans felt strongly that LaFrentz should stay in-state and attend Iowa, but he didn't listen.
LaFrentz said he always thought he would become a Jayhawk, although a weekend visit by LaFrentz to the University of Iowa made Kansas coach Roy Williams nervous about where the Jayhawks stood.
"I called him that Sunday night after he had visited Iowa, and he didn't want to talk to me," Williams said. "That was the lowest ever in recruiting for Roy Williams, and yet everything worked out fine. It is funny because, in recruiting, almost every day you think you lost a guy."
LaFrentz maintained that he never meant to make Williams lose any sleep by not answering phone calls. He just wanted to select a school without any outside interference, he said.
"I just had a fun visit to Iowa, and I knew, as any coach who was recruiting me would do, that he would try and undermine every positive thing from that experience," LaFrentz said.
"I just wanted to sit on it, think about it and make the right choice for me. In the back of my head, I knew that I was going to be a Jayhawk," he said.
Outside pressure continued to mount, but LaFrentz never blinked. He signed a letter of intent to play at Kansas. After the announcement, the people of Monona did not hesitate to back his decision, but he was criticized in other parts of the state.
"Those people weren't concerned about Raef at all." Dettbarn said. "They were concerned only about themselves. We would have supported him no matter where he went. If they cared about Raef, they would have had no problem with him doing what's in his best interest."
From a rookie to an All-American
LaFrentz had an impressive showing his first couple seasons as a Jayhawk.
He was one of two players to start every game his freshman season. And as a sophomore, LaFrentz led the team in scoring and was named a first team All-Big Eight Conference selection.
That sophomore season, he was joined by a couple of friends — his parents, Ron and Ellen — who moved to Lawrence.
Ron had worked as the industrial arts teacher and assistant basketball coach at MFL-Mar Mac while Ellen served as a substitute teacher. When Ron retired in 1995, they moved to Lawrence and rented former Kansas guard Rex Walters' condominium with plans of moving back to Monona after LaFrentz was drafted into the NBA.
But even as he pushed forward at Kansas, interest in LaFrentz's exploits flourished back in Monona.
McFarlane writes a weekly column in the Monona Billboard, which is just three doors down from the LaFrentz home, updating its readers about LaFrentz's performances.
"Some people who had never cared about basketball before never miss the Jayhawks on TV," McFarlane said. "People around here keep up with their basketball. They never miss a game."
And while LaFrentz strived to improve his game each off-season, he still made time to visit old friends in Monona.
He played basketball in the same gym where he had practiced during his high school years. And during the summer he worked as a lifeguard at the same swimming pool where he had worked as a teenager.
"The kids would all rush to the pool when he was there," McFarlane said. "They'd misbehave just to see what he'd do. But they knew Kraef wouldn't do any-

Commentary
Pierce simply too much for Sooners
After watching the Jayhawks dismantle my Sooners in the Big 12 Conference Tournament Championship.
I've come to one,very clear conclusion:
10
Harley Rattifl
sports@kansan.com
In fact,
maybe too
much.
In the span of two weeks, I've witnessed Pierce not once, but twice stick a knife in the heart of a
conclusion
I've seen just about enough of this Paul Pierce fella.
Two weeks ago, my roommate and I watched in horror as the 6-7 junior forward turned the second half of the Kansas-Oklahoma game into his personal playground.
feisty Oklahoma squad.
With the Jayhawks clinging to a desperate five-point lead, Pierce singlehanded polished off the Sooners with a dizzying spectrum of shots They seemed to come from nowhere — or better yet, everywhere.
Maybe it was a 22-foot rainbow three-pointer.
Sometimes, it was a mid-range jummer.
Too often it was simply a thunderousunk.
It didn't matter where Pierce shot, they all seemed to go in — and Oklahoma went down.
The Sooners seemed to have an answer for everything that night — except Pierce. The All-American candidate wound up with 31 points, making an incredible 14 of 17 shots.
They finished the season by frustrating the league's leading scorer, Cory Carr, in a thrashing of Texas Tech. In the Big 12 Tournament, the Sooners had stifled the Missouri offense in the first round, and held Texas's leading scorer, Kris Clack, to a measly two points in the second. Paul Pierce wasn't supposed to be a problem.
Round Two was supposed to be a different story. The Sooners had been playing their best defense all year.
In an ugly, physical first half Sunday, Pierce was the Jayhawks' constant — slicing, leaning, and twisting his way to eight points.
He was.
Pierce continued to work his magic in the second half, ripping the Sooners with soft jumper, after silky soft jumper. Raef might have been voted the league's Most Valuable Player, but it was Pierce — who finished with 26 — who steamrolled the Jayhawks' way through the Big 12 tournament.
Each game, it looked as if the Sooners were poised to pull the miracle upset, and each game, Pierce made sure it didn't happen.
He has it all; size, strength, speed, a nice shooting touch, and a great feel for the game. He is easily one of the most exciting players in college basketball. I could watch him abuse defenders all night long.
In the process, he broke the heart of quite a few Sooner fans — including myself.
I just hope that next season, when Pierce is using that nifty, little head fake to jumpstart one of his patented drives to the basket, it's not against the Sooners.
Don't get me wrong, I love Pierce's game.
It's against the Clippers.

Kansas crushes Illinois-Chicago
Game 3 canceled; Bettis, Philbrick pitch first shutout
By John Blakely Wilson Kanson sportswriter
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas baseball team slammed Illinois-Chicago 16-5 and 12-0 in a doubleheader Friday before rain washed away the final two games of the series, which were scheduled for Saturday and yesterday.
Head coach Bobby Randall said his 7-6 team had started to play to his expectations against a solid Illinois-Chicago squad.
"They were much better than the other teams we've blown out," Randall said. "We pitched well and played great defense, and those two things win games."
Kansas's pitching continues to develop with experience. Junior Les Walrond held Illinois-Chicago to three runs in six innings while picking up the win in the first game. Walrond did not allow a walk. Kansas pitchers surrendered just four bases-on-balls throughout the weekend.
"Our pitchers are just throwing strikes," catcher Josh Dimmick said. "That takes pressure off the fielders and the pitchers because every hit doesn't mean runs are going to score."
Rusty Philbrick started and Eric Bettis closed the second game on Friday, the first Kansas shutout since Feb. 25, 1997. Philbrick picked up his first win of the season, striking out seven batters while allowing just one hit in six innings, and relief pitcher Bettis earned the save.
"Rusty threw with great velocity and command, and Bettis was also effective," Randall said. "I told them to really take pleasure in having big outings for us."
Shortstop John Nelson had five hits and batted in four runs, and
"I felt much more in rhythm, even in the unbelievably cold weather." Bryson said.
Outfielder Cliff Bryson, who has been in a slump, hit a home run in the first game and drove in three runs in the series.
Dimmick led the offense with five hits this weekend, including a home run in the second game. Dimmick drove in seven runs in the series and is the team leader with 18 RBI this season.
first baseman Randy Case had five hits and batted in three runs.
Baseball
Dimmick, who is on pace to drive in more than 80 runs, was the first baseman this weekend because of Randy Case's sore back. Case had back surgery in the off season and is less than 100 percent.
"I don't mind playing first base at all; I can't catch every day," Dimmick said. "It's a day off on my legs in the middle of a long season, and I can concentrate more on swinging the bat."
Kansas is scheduled to play at Missouri on Tuesday and Wednesday, but the long-range weather outlook calls for rain and possibly snow. The possibility of rain also may force the team to practice at Anschutz Sports Pavilion.
"Weather will be a factor for the next few weeks." Randall said. "Unfortunately, we'll probably be inside for the next week, at least."

Jayhawks intend to keep focus on upstart No.16 seed from Texas
By Tommy Gallagher

Kansan sportswriter
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — As expected, No. 3 Kansas was named the top seed of the Midwest Wrap of the NCAA Tournament yesterday and will play first and second-round games in Oklahoma
R.
City
Williams: not surprised with the No. 1 seed
After the Jayhawks watched the tournament selection show on television in Kemper Arena, Kansas coach Roy Williams said he had a hunch about the team's fate all along.
"There was no suspense. We knew we would be a No.1 seed, probably in the Midwest," Williams said. "What I like is that
we have the Friday and Sunday games, so we can rest our players and get some people healthy."
The opponent for Kansas Friday will be Prairie View A&M, a team that went
13-16 this season. The Panthers are led by 6-foot-3 guard Tamaroon Sharpe, who averages 17.1 points and 5.1 rebounds. Prairie View A&M, located in Prairie View, Texas, placed seventh out of nine teams during the regular season in the SWAC. The Panthers finished 6-10 in conference play.
Robertson: looking forward to possibly playing in St. Louis.
matic berth to the NCAA Tournament when they won the conference tournament, rallying from a 20-point deficit to defeat Texas Southern last week.
For Robertson, the NCAA Tournament potentially could serve as two homecomings.
Guard Ryan Robertson said that the Panthers, despite having the lowest power rating of anyone in the 64 team field (No.263), could not be overlooked.
"They may be a team below .500, but they are a hot team because they won their conference tournament." Robertson said.
He was born in Lawton, Okla., which is less than two hours away from Oklahoma City. Before his freshman year in high school, Robertson's family moved to St. Charles, Mo. a suburb of St. Louis.
St. Louis is where the Jayhawks would play their regional games, should they advance past the first and second rounds.
Robertson said he was eager to make a trek to St. Louis, but he emphasized that the team could not look beyond this week.
"Iwas hoping we'd be in the Midwest Region so we could go to St. Louis," Robertson said. "But we have to win two games to advance there, so we have to take care of that before we do anything else."
Also in the Midwest is No. 9 seed Murray State, which lost to Duke by three points in the tournament last season. The Racers will take on Rhode Island, the No. 8 seed in the region. Should they and the Jayhawks win, the teams will meet in the second round.
Either Texas Christian or Florida State could present some coaching connections, should the Jayhawks reach the Sweet 16. TCU is led by former Oklahoma coach Billy Tubbs, and former Williams assistant Steve Robinson coaches the Seminoles.
Florida State finished 17-12 overall and 6-10 in the Atlantic Coast Conference and is the first team ever with 10 conference losses to make the tournament.
Two other former Williams assistants qualified for the NCAA Tournament, though one is guaranteed to make a quick exit.
In the West Region, No. 8 seed Tennessee will play No. 9 seed Illinois State, as Jerry Green and Kevin Stallings will meet each other for the first time as head coaches. Both men were assistants

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Top-seeded, No. 3-ranked Kansas became the first team in Big Eight/Big 12 Conference history to successfully defend its tournament title by defeating Oklahoma 72-58 yesterday in Kemper Arena.
Kansas forward Paul Pierce, who won his second consecutive MVP title, scored a game-high 26 points and had five assists.
*Most Valuable Player
Coach Roy Williams said Pierce needed to have that sort of performance.
"We have three scorers on this team — Billy, Rae and Paul," Williams said. "Without Billy, that left Raef and Paul, and Raef has been slowed for the past few days. That meant it was important for Paul to score more than he had at any other time this year."
The Jayhawks, who appeared solemn after Friday's 68-61 quarterfinal win versus Kansas State, smiled and laughed yesterday during the game's final minutes.
Pierce said that this year's team was not taking anything for granted going into the NCAA tournament.
"This team is just enjoying the moment," Pierce said. "We didn't enjoy those moments as much as we did last year, and maybe that's because we have a younger team. But we will take this win, celebrate and move on."
For a while yesterday, the Jayhawks had nothing to celebrate.
Scoring proved to be a challenge in the first half, when neither team shot better than 36 percent. The Sooners led 25-24 at halftime, which marked the first time since the Dec. 30 loss to Hawaii that Kansas trailed at intermission.
The game eventually reached a fevered pitch five minutes into the second half, courtesy of a couple of
missed shots.
First, Oklahoma forward Ryan Humphrey blocked an attempted dunk by Pierce. Humphrey then flashed a wide grin toward Pierce while running down the court, where Kansas forward Lester Earl rejected a dunk attempt by Sooner center Evan Wiley.
The Sooners started running on fumes one minute later, when the Jawhayks peeled off a 33-12 run.
Included in that run were three consecutive three point shots by Kansas one by Pierce and two by guard Ryan Robertson.
By the end of the run, Kansas had its largest lead of the day, at 67-50, with less than three minutes to play. From there, Kansas cruised to victory.
Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson said that the Kansas bench was the difference.
"We needed to play good defense for a full 40 minutes," Sampson said. "We played it for 28, maybe 29 minutes, and that's not enough against Kansas. They had fresh legs while ours were shot toward the end of the game."

The sixth-ranked Red Raiders, who received a No.1 seed in the NCAA Women's Tournament yesterday, rolled over the Jayhawks 71-53 on Saturday at Municipal Auditorium. Texas Tech (25-4, 18-1 Big 12) won its 11th consecutive game and claimed the Big 12 Conference championship.

the best 40 minutes o. basketball that we've played all year." Sharp said. "We needed all of it to beat Kansas."
Kansas played well early in the game. The Jayhawks got six points in the first three minutes from their two leading scorers, forward Lynn Pride and guard Suzi Raymant. But the Jayhawks did not score for the next five minutes, falling behind 14-6 midway
Kansas, 21-8 overall, closed the gap to 23-18 with 6:14 remaining in the half but went cold again. The Jayhawks were outscored 11-2 the rest of the first half, and Texas Tech led 34-20 at halftime.
Texas Tech forward Angie Braziel dominated the first half with 13 points. Kansas shot 28.7 percent, and Pride and Raymant were held scoreless for 17 minutes.
The Jayhawks never got closer than 11 points in the second half.
Kansas coach Marian Washington said that the Red Raiders hurt the Jayhawks in the transition game.
"We did not get back on defense and match-up very well." Washington said. "We didn't find their shooters, and they got some wide-open shots from their three-point shooters.
Guard Rene Hanebutt connected on five of six shots from beyond the three-point are. She scored 15 of her game-high 21 points in the second half. Hanebutt also had six assists and five rebounds.
Tournament most valuable player Alicia Thompson scored 14 points for Texas Tech and was joined on the all-tournament team by Braziel.
"I wanted to come out and prove myself, since I hadn't been shooting well," Hanebutt said.
Forward Jaclyn Johnson led the Jayhawks with 17 points, and all-tournament selection Lynn Pride added 14 points and nine rebounds.
"Texas Tech is a great ballclub," Washing ton said. "They are one of the premier teams in the country."
Washington praised the Red Raiders and wished them the best in the NCAA Tournament.

Iowa City. here we come — again.
The Kansas women's basketball team received a No. 5 seed in the West region of the NCAA Tournament and will play Tulane at 6 p.m. Friday in Iowa City.
The Jayhawks played at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in the Hawkeye Classic on Nov. 29-30, where they lost to Washington and beat Cal-State Northridge.
Coach Marian Washington said after the
"This is an exciting time of the year," Washington said. "Three hundred teams start the season trying to get here. For us to be chosen is a credit to our players and our program. I'm extremely proud."
Guard Jennifer Jackson said playing at Carver again would be beneficial.
"We have an advantage because we've played there before, and we know the court." Jackson said. "We're better off than a lot of other teams in the tournament."
Kansas will face coach Lisa Stockton's 21-6 Tulane Green Wave, who have earned their
three seasons and finished second this season in Conference USA with a record of 12-4.
Washington said her staff members knew little about their opponent but that they would waste no time finding out.
The Green Wave had been riding a six-game winning streak before being toppled by Cincinnati 77-62 on Feb. 28 in the quarterfinals of the conference tournament.
"I know we match up well with them," Washington said. They have an outstanding point guard and a great post-player. That's about all we know now."
Kansas, 21-8, was one of four Big 12 team selected to participate in the NCAA Tournament.

Conference champion Texas Tech earne the No.1 seed in the Midwest region. Iowa State received the No.4 seed in the Mideast, an Nebraska was given the No.9 seed in the East.

Jayhawks pounce on Cornhuskers
Rebounds and runs push Kansas into final against Sooners
By Tommy Gallagher
tgallagher@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Never underestimate the importance of a good night's sleep. And rehabilitation.
Kansas crushed Nebraska 91-59 in the semifinals of the Big 12 C
ference Tour-
ference Tournament on Saturday afternoon, as forward Raef LaFrentz rebounded from a sore left shoulder.
KU
But LaFrentz, who had 19 points and 10 rebounds in only 24 minutes, would not have been allowed
N Tricker
to play unless he passed a test by Kansas coach Roy Williams in pre-game warmups. "I told Raef that he would
have to make a three-point shot before I could permit him to play." Williams said. "So he grabs the ball from the referee, turns around and makes a three-pointer. That little rascal really wanted to play today." LaFrentz had been told Friday night that he would not play, but took some anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce the pain and swelling in the shoulder. He had not taken any drugs in the two weeks since he sustained the
injury in a Feb.
game against Oklahoma.
LaFrentz said the drugs eased the pain while he plaved.
LaFrentz: played with a bad shoulder
"It wasn't like yesterday where that pain still lingered throughout the game. I
guess we finally found the right ingredient. 'LaFrentz said.
So did the Jayhawks, who improved to 33-3 overall and 17-1 in the Big 12.
Kansas led 9-6 early, but then pounced on the Cornhuskers for the rest of the game.
The Jayhawks used a 23-3 run to extend their lead to 32-9 with 8 minutes left before halftime. Kansas sprinkled a steady dose of smaller runs in the second half as Nebraska (20-11 overall, 11-7 in the Big 12) never came any closer than 23 points.
Nebraska forward Andy Markowski said that his team may have been looking forward to the NCAA Tournament.
"Last night at the hotel, we were sitting around and talking about how we thought that 20 wins would be enough to get us into the tournament," Markowski said. "And while we had won 20 games, today we never came out and played like we had anything else on the line."
Forward Paul Pierce had 17 points, seven rebounds and four assists against Braska. Guard Kenny Gregory, in his second start for the injured Billy Thomas this tournament, had 11 points, six rebounds, three assists and three steals.

After the game, coach Roy Williams said the locker room had resembled something from a war.
"It looks like a M*A*S*H unit in there," Williams said. "We don't have Billy. And Raef was in extreme pain and seems like half the player he was before the injury. Everyone feels a bit down right now, even though we just won the game."
LaFrentz had 13 points and nine rebounds, but was in tears as he received treatment in the locker room for his sore left shoulder after the game.
Thomas missed the first game of his four-year career with a strained left thigh. He sat out the remainder of the tournament, but likely will return for the NCAA tournament.

Injuries don't slow Big 12 march
Jayhawks win without starters at full strength
By Tommy Gallagher

Kansas sportswriter
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Someone call a paramedic. This team needs help.
Top-seeded and No. 3-ranked Kansas suddenly appeared vulnerable to opponents during the Big 12 Conference Tournament
LoFrentz: Played through the Big 12 Tournament injured
last weekend in Kemper Arena.
Injuries to two starters — guard Billy Thomas and forward Raef LaFrentz — affected the way the Jayhawks prepared and played as they attempted to defend their
tournament title from last season. Kansas coach Roy Williams said Friday that he would not allow his players to get down on themselves.
"I don't want us feeling sorry for ourselves, because we're better than that," Williams said. "This isn't the best time of year to be banged up like we are, but that's the way it is. We have games to play, and I'm not going to allow us to blame anything for how we perform."
Thomas nursed a left thigh strain and did not play in the tournament.
"I wish I could have been out there." Thomas said.
In his absence during the tournament, backup guard Kenny Gregory made his second, third and fourth starts of his career.
The report on LaFrentz was not as severe.
LaFrentz suffered a sprain in his left shoulder during a game Feb. 23 against Oklahoma. After the injury, LaFrentz said, he had not taken any drugs to prevent or reduce pain or swelling in the shoulder.
That was until Friday night.
In Kansas' quarterfinals victory against Kansas State on Friday, LaFrentz fired an airball on a free throw attempt. He had writhed in pair all game, and Williams said he was doubtful for the semifinals game the next day.
"It it's very, very painful for him," Williams said. "I've seen him play for six years and I've never seen
LaFrentz shed tears as he received treatment for the shoulder in the locker room after the game. The pain was too much.
nim shoot an airball on a free throw."
injuries are not a positive situation," LaFrentz said. "They suck. It was painful today. I don't see how it can be much worse (Saturday)."
LaFrentz succumbed to the pain and took anti-inflammatory drugs Friday night. And after a 19-point, 10-rebound performance in Saturday's win against the Nebraska, he appeared to be in no pain.
Williams said the proper treatment for LaFrentz's shoulder could have cost him the season, but emphasized that he did not have to play if the pain was too intense.
"It's a thing if he takes three weeks off, it'd be fine," Williams said. "He doesn't want to rest three weeks. I will not play him if it's a problem, but (one day of) rest is not the answer. We're going to have to see how painful it is."
Thomas most likely will rejoin the team for first-round action of the NCAA Tournament, assuming his thigh improves with rest. LaFrentz said he was content with playing in pain for the remainder of the season.
"It's very,very painful for him.I've seen him play for six years and I've never seen him shoot an airball on a free throw."

Jayhawk fans won't take break from hoops
The road map lay before us, crawling with a labyrinth of pink and blue lines that twisted through towns with names like Pickens, Natchitoches and Yazoo City.
Commentary
These were the interstates, winding backroads and two-lane highways that would take us south from Lawrence to our spring break destination: New Orleans, French Quarter.
"All right," one of my companions said the other night, as we sat around making preliminary travel plans. "What do we need for the trip?"
"Gas money," another said "Tube socks." I said
"A tent," one person said.
"Tube socks," I said
And next, on to Baton Rouge,
La., where Lester Earl spent his
formative years. Perhaps a photo
opportunity in front of Glen Oaks
High School.
Tube socks?
I went on to explain that after we passed through Fayetteville, we would be headed straight toward Shreveport, La., Billy Thomas' hometown. A definite stop.
"Of course," I said, pointing at Arkansas on the map. "Don't you see? If we take 71 south out of Kansas City, we'll go straight through Fayetteville. And when we get there, we'll have to pay tribute to Nick Bradford. And to do so properly, it would be to our advantage to have some tube socks."
Only then, after a good-luck pilgrimage to each player's hometown, can we arrive in New Orleans for a relaxing week. I read
The idea generated little enthusiasm.
But we did decide that we each would fill out NCAA Tournament brackets, bring them along, update them and compete against one another as we go.
Eric Weslander
sports@kansan.com
And perhaps most importantly, we tried to figure out where we would be if and when Kansas played in the Sweet Sixteen and the Elite Eight.
Does this sound familiar, Kansas fans?
"If they play on Thursday and Saturday, we can leave town Saturday after the game. If they play on Friday and Sunday, we might as well leave on Saturday, because we can't wait until Monday to leave..."
Let's face it. If you're a Kansas student who is a basketball fan, your spring break is inextricably linked to the NCAA Tournament.
If Kansas loses, the week's chances of being enjoyable suffer drastically.
Do the Jayhawks creep into your spring break plans and end up taking over the trin?
PLAY IT AGAIN
SPORTS
The day the Jayhawks lost to Syracuse in 1996, clouds covered the sky in Panama City Beach. Fla. It rained the rest of the week. Go figure.
The night that Kansas lost to Arizona, Lawrence turned into a sinkhole of depression. My roommate and I packed up and left the middle of the night because we couldn't bear to stay here. He got a speeding ticket at 2 a.m. halfway through Missouri.
We Buy, Sell, Trade & Consign USED & New Sports Equipment 841-PLAY 1024MB
Go figure.
And this year will be no different. The emotional content of all of our weeks of respite will be dictated by a little orange ball, a basket and 10 tall guys.

Road map? Check.
Tube socks? Check.
And a lot of us will become thirsty, Very, very thirsty. Even thirstier than the average springbreaker.
No, there's no way to escape the weighty influence that Kansas basketball has on spring break for Kansas students. No matter where you are, there will Kansas basketball be also.
If the Jayhawks get the ball to go through the basket enough times, we'll have an exuberant week filled with revelry and hopes of Kansas 'first national championship in 10 years. We'll dance in the streets and make merry.
So be prepared. As you make your final travel plans in the next two weeks, make sure they allow for the ups and downs of life as a Kansas fan.
Be sure to have easy access to sports bars and Jayhawk-friendly viewing establishments along the wav.
And remember, when it's all said and done, it's just a game.
We won't feel like going out. We'll sit in our hotel and hotel rooms, fuming about some upstart team with too much quickness or too much power.
If they lose—no matter when, no matter how —it won't be quite as much fun.
By the way, if you're headed south and have the opportunity, pass through Fayetteville, Shreveport or Baton Rouge for good luck.
Little do my traveling companions know, but I'm buying us all a pair of good luck tube socks to wear as we drive through Fayetteville. It can't hurt.
We'll dread coming back to Lawrence and seeing our fellow fans mope around campus for the next few weeks.
And maybe we'll listen to some Foni Braxton—Billy T's personal 'favorite'—while passing through Shreveport.
And when I make my companions pull over in Baton Rouge at a convenience store to buy some Oatmeal Cream Pies -Lester's favorite snack - it will be official:
"If we camp one night, we need to find someplace that's close to the woods," one of my companions said as we finished our planning session the other night.
It's not really our trip. It's the Kansas Jayhawks' trip. Through and through.
Forget the woods, I thought. Get me close to a big-screen TV.

Upsets can ruin spring break plans
Fans recall painful losses
By Kory Burke
Special to the Kansan
The Kansas men's basketball team almost caused a KU student to spend time in jail last year.
Andrew Rothenberg, St. Louis junior, was on his way to Florida for spring break when he had a confrontation with the law.
"My friends and I were in a bar in Alabama watching the basketball game," he said. "When KU lost, one of my friends jumped up and knocked the table over, causing our plates and glasses to break. Some cop in the bar told us to pay for everything, otherwise he was going to take us to jail."
Spring break is supposed to be a time of fun and relaxation. But for Kansas basketball fans, spring break for the past two years has been a time of disappointment.
been a little cold.
When Kansas made a premature exit from March Madness last season, fans were left feeling cheated. And today, most of them can remember exactly where they were when time expired on the game clock.
The weekend before last year's spring break, Chris Willis, Leawood senior, had prepared him
self for another Jayhawk triumph. And when the team lost to Arizona, alcohol proved to be too strong of a temptation to resist.
"I didn't know what to do when they lost so I shotgunned the five beers that were left in my refrigerator. Then I hit my wall and put a hole in it," he said.
The worst part for Willits was still to come. A member for the Kansas Crewrowing club, he was about to leave for a 16-hour bus trip to Louisiana where the crew trains for spring break.
"I had no idea what to do. After drinking all that beer that quick, I was about to be trapped on a bus with 40 other people," he said.
Doug Holtzman, St. Louis junior, was christening a new big-screen television with his parents when Kansas lost last year.
"While my parents and I were watching the game, my mom kept saying she had a bad feeling and that they were going to lose. Eventually my dad and I kicked her out of the room," he said.
Holtzman's dad also had a pair of tickets for the Final Four.
"I was so mad that I told him to sell the tickets because I didn't think it was worth going anymore," he said.
hore. he hore.
Wendy Tweito, Hutehinson
senior, also was supposed to go to
the Final Four.
"I was in San Diego when they
lost in 1996," she said. "All I could do was cry. Last year my dad called me after the game and told me that if KU would have won, he and I were going to the Final Four. That's when the tears started to flow again."
For other fans, last year's loss was more physically painful. Melissa Davis, Wichita sophomore, was working out during the game.
"The game was on the television in the weight room, so I wasn't paying much attention to what I was doing," she said. "I ended up dropping a weight on my foot and couldn't walk very easily for the next week."
Matt Fisch, Overland Park senior, had to listen to his family tease him for the entire week.
"I was in Oklahoma with all my family and relatives," Fisch said. "Right when KU lost they started rubbing it in. I didn't hear the end of it until classes started again. It basically ruined my break."
This is a whole new year. Once again the Jayhawks have high expectations to live up to, and once again - if they reach the Elite Eight - they will be playing while students are heading for their spring break destinations.
this year I want to have something to celebrate about," Rothenburg said. "I just hope there aren't any cops around."

Women's teams shoot, score with KC crowds
By Angela Johnson
Kansan sportswriter
Ten years after the Kansas men's team won the national championship, Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo., again will be the focus of collegiate basketball — this time for women's basketball.
Later this month, approximately 20,000 people will pour into the area for the 1998 Women's Final Four on Mar. 27-29.
A spokesman for the committee who will promote the Final Four locally said it would be the biggest sports event for Kansas City in 1998.
"This is a great year for Kansas City to have the Final Four because of the popularity of the Women's National Basketball Association," said Matt Tidwell, a member of the Kansas City Organizing Committee.
The popularity of women's basketball is growing quickly, Tidwell said. For the first time, this year the NCAA held a ticket drawing for the women's Final Four.
"The women's Final Four is exploding with popularity," he said. "The event is officially sold out. There were so many calls for last year's Final Four in Cincinnati that the phone systems crashed."
The four teams each will have one-hour open practices from 10 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. on Mar. 26 at Kemper Arena. After each practice, the players will be available for an autograph session.
Several media events will coincide with the Final Four, including an NCAA Hoop City public exhibit

Mar. 26-29.
ESPN will hold
a salute dinner
on Mar. 26 at
the Hyatt
Regency
Crown Center
to honor the
teams that
have made it to
the Final Four.
All totaled, the women's Final Four will generate about $17 million in revenue. Tidwell said.
Kansas City-area retailers also will get into the action of the Final Four frenzy.
Mike Pfau, owner of the Sports Fever retail chain in the Kansas City area, said his stores would sell women's Final Four merchandise.
"We'll bring in T-shirts for each team, all with the Final Four logo." Pfau said. "Mostly, though, it will be队-specific."
Tidwell said women's basketball had increased in popularity because of the achievements of marque players such as Rebecca Lobo, who played for Connecticut, and Sheryl Swoopes, who played for Texas Tech. Both now playing in the WNBA.
"These players became household darlings, and it's because of players like these that's the key to the success of women's basketball." Tidwell said.
Semifinal games will begin at 6 p.m. on Mar. 27, and the championship game will be at 7:30 p.m. Mar. 29. Both games will be broadcast on ESPN.

Step on a crack,break the Jayhawks' back?
By Melinda Weaver
Special to the Kansan
In recent years, the Jayhawks have been cursed with a string of bad luck in NCAA tournament play.
Heartbroken fans watching from home can console themselves, knowing they do not bear the brunt of the responsibility for the unfortunate losses.
Or do they?
"Last year, when KU lost to Missouri, I wore this outfit, and without thinking about it, wore the same one when we lost to Arizona," said J-ssica Conrad, Sylvia freshman. "I'll never wear that outfit on game day again."
From pregame snacks to lucky hats, many students have superstitions that they think they must follow if Kansas is to continue to win.
"I don't have any superstitions until the tournament," said Adam Habluetzel, Clay Center junior. "Then, I have to keep a pessimistic attitude. If I pick KU to win in my brackets, they never do."
These superstitions range from radical rituals to barely recognizable habits. But no matter how mild, they become more important as the tournament approaches.
Several students share a similar attitude. Yet some carry their superstitions to a much higher
level of paranoia.
Lucky shirts or jewelry are popular items among students, but they do not work for everyone. Sometimes, it just depends on who accompanies the student while watching the games.
"When I was in eighth grade, I thought I could totally control the outcome of the game," said Rebekah Gaston. Liberal freshman. "I had a pair of pajamas to wear the night before and after every game. I also had a pair of luck underwear and earrings I had to wear for every game. I've calmed down a lot, but I'm still very superstitious."
"I'm going to watch the games with the same people I went to the home games with," said James Katzenneyer, Hoffman Estates, ill., freshman. "It's worked so far."
The superstitious say that the smallest things can make a difference: A change in the daily routine, missing a class, or wearing the wrong pair of socks.
Even Chancellor Robert Hemenway said that he thought a change in his game-day routine could cause the Jayhawks to fall short of an NCAA trophy.
"I feel the same way the students do." Hemenway said. "Any change in the routine might affect the outcome of the game. I plan to continue doing things the same way all the way to San Antonio."
The Associated Press
Seeding procedures complicated, regulated
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Syracuse fell. Then Maryland took a tumble. A short time later, UCLA dropped like a rock.
Chaos was threatening to engulf the NCAA tournament.
The reason? Faulty adhesive tape.
While choosing, seeding and bracketing the 64 team field every year, the NCAA's selection committee spends a weekend moving teams around on big poster boards, searching with a diamond-cutter's caution for just the right matchups in just the right places at just the right times.
Former NCAA staffer Dave Cawood recalled the incident 10 years ago when, to the committee's horror, the names suddenly began falling to the floor.
It's all done with such reverence and care that only one person — known as "the traffic cop" — is authorized to touch the boards or move the teams.
"It was crazy," he said. "Here we were trying so hard to be efficient, and the teams just kept falling off the board."
As the traffic cop, Cawood was the only person authorized to pick the team names off the floor and stick them back.
The next year, the committee used dependable Velcro.
This year's traffic cop is longtime NCAA staff Bill Hancock.
"He's the only one who touches that board," said committee chairman C.M. Newton.
Decisions are made that spell the difference between a successful
season or a bust, between a team having a decent chance or very little hope of reaching the Final Four.
Contrary to popular opinion, the committee's job is not to select the best 64 teams. It's to select the best 34 that did not gain automatic entry by winning one of 30 conference tournaments.
Then they break the 64-team field down to what amounts to four 16-team tournaments; the East, West, Midwest and South regionals. Each is seeded 1 through 16 — four No. 1 seeds, four No. 2 seeds, etc.
On one side of the room is the board with the names of every school considered for an at-large berth. Next to it is the board listing every team that's already captured one of the 30 automatic berths.
On the other side of the room are four boards representing each 16-team bracket, and four that keep track of the seedings, making sure, for example, that a No. 6 seed does not show up on a seventh-seed line.
At 10 p.m. last Thursday, the tedious process began when everybody submitted two ballots. The first is each committee member's "must-have" list of not more than 17 teams that absolutely have to be there.
Committee members don't vote on their own teams, so there's about eight to 12 listed on every ballot, and they become the first names affixed to the at-large board.
Those teams are now in. No one can remember a team making the first ballot without making the tournament.
Members then take their second Thursday night ballot, listing all other teams they believe merit consideration.

Max and Bob as much a fixture as Rock Chalk
By Daniel Ferguson Special to the Kanson
When Kansas tips off its run for a national championship in this year's NCAA tournament, two familiar faces will be courtside to bring the action to Jayhawk fans.
This season marks Bob Davis and Max Falkenstein's 15th year together as a radio broadcast team for the Jayhawk Radio Network.
Davis, a graduate of Washburn University in Topeka, is known for his excitable, average fanlike broadcasting style. The grandfatherly, down-to-earth Falkenstein, a KU graduate, is in his 52nd year of broadcasting Kansas athletic events.
Falkenstein started calling Kansas men's basketball games in March 1946, when he announced an NCAA tournament contest between the Jayhawks and Oklahoma &M.
"I had just returned from the service, and the station manager asked if I would like to do the game," Falkenstein said. "There was a good audience reaction and the rest is history."
Falkenstein said he considered the NCAA tournament the most exciting event in sports. The exposure of the tournament today compared to when he started is unbelievable, he said.
"The drama is unparalleled, and unlike the Super Bowl, where you mainly have two parts of the country watching, the entire country is watching teams during the tournament," Falkenstein said.
"I grew up in a family that loved sports, and I never really wanted to do anything else," Davis said.
Davis grew up in a small Kansas town and always dreamed of being a sportscaster. Davis' dad worked fora newspaper, and his cousin who had a job in radio sparked his interest.
He got his first full-time radio job right out of college and began broadcasting Kansas games in 1984.
He said that some of his biggest disappointments broadcasting Kansas NCAA games included the 1992 second-round loss to Texas-El Paso and tournament losses to Syracuse in 1996 and Arizona in 1997.
Davis, who now does Kansas City Royals television broadcasts during the summer, said he had no plans of leaving his job as a Kansas broadcaster.
"I have no interest in national broadcasts whatsoever," Davis said. "I love college sports, and I love the Lawrence area."
Another reason Davis has stayed is the opportunity to work with Falkenstein.
Max Falkenstein and Bob Davis
Davis has called Kansas football and basketball games for the past 14 years.
He has been named Kansas Sports roster of the Year seven times.
Before he started calling Kansas games, he was the voice of the Fort Hays State Tigers for 14 years.
He also is the sports director at KMBZ-FM in Kansas City and a television play-by-play announcer for the Kansas City Royals.
Falkenstein is in his 52nd season as a broadcaster for Kansas athletic teams.
In 1995, he became the first media inductee into the University of Kansas Athletics Hall of Fame.
He was the chairman of the State of Kansas Sports Hall of Fame for eight years.
He is the host of Roy Williams' weekly television show, and he serves as the emcee during senior night festivities at Allen Field House.
"I grew up in a family that loved sports, and I never really wanted to do anything else."
Bob Davis
Kansas broadcaster
"Max has helped me a lot by just being a friend," Davis said. "In all the years I have worked with Max, I don't we think we have ever argued."
Falkenstein shares many of the same March Madness moments as Davis. He said he always would remember the 1988 national champion team featuring Danny and the Miracles. He also remembers the 1952 NCAA Championship squad.
Three tournament losses particularly stand out for Falkenstein.
At the top of his list is last year's loss to Arizona. He also remembers the triple overtime championship game loss to North Carolina and the 1953 championship contest in which the Jayhawks missed repeating as national champions by one point.
As the years and memories continue to pile up, Falkenstein said he had no idea when he would call it quiits.
He said he the most enjoyable part of his job was his association with the coaches and players.
"I'm not going to put a timetable on it, but I think I'll know when it's time to quit," Falkenstein said.
"I like to think it keeps me young by being around these young kids all the time." Falkenstein said.

Upsets blessed 'Hawks in 1988, but cursed in 1990s
UTEP, Virginia shockers ended Jayhawk seasons before expected
By Brad Hallier Special to the Kansan
Upsets are what make the NCAA Tournament such a special event every March.
There are usually two kinds of upsets: the one-game wonder and the miracle run through the tournament.
Kansas has been on both ends of upsets at the tournaments in the past 10 years.
practice
In 1988, behind the performance of All-American Danny Manning, the Jayhawks made a remarkable run to the national championship
Kevin Pritchard, a Kansas guard from 1986-1990, said that the 1988 team also benefited from a little luck.
Thanks to several upsets elsewhere in the region, the Jayhawks were able to avoid Purdue, Pittsburgh and North Carolina State, the top three seeds in the Midwest region.
Milwaukee region.
"We were gelling and playing great defense," Pritchard said. "All the combinations came together, and I know this is a cliché, but we felt fortunate just to be in the Final Four. Nobody thought we could win, but we had confidence in each other."
confidence in this season. Kansas finished the 1987-88 season 27-11, making the Jayhawks the team with the most losses in a season to win a championship.
Kansas returned to the tournament in 1990 seeded second in the East. But the Jayhawks saw their tournament hopes end when seventh-seeded UCLA pulled off the upset, 71-70.
"We just caught a hot team, and in a best-of-five series I would have bet on us," Pritchard said.

RECENT UPSETS
1986—Louisiana State became the lowest seeded team to reach the Final Four, but the 11th-seeded Tigers bowed out in the semifinals to eventual champion Louisville.
1990 — Little-known Northern Iowa, seeded 14th in the Southeast, knocked off the third-seeded Missouri Tigers 74-71, 1
1990 — After the death of their star forward Hank Gathers, the 11th-seeded Loyola Marymount Lions averaged 105.7 points in four games in the tournament, including a remarkable 149 in a second round win against defending champion Michigan.
1991 — The Richmond Spiders became the first No. 15 seed to win in the tournament, knocking off second and seeded Syracuse 73-69 in an East regional first round game.
1993 —Midwest top seed Michigan was in heaven when 12th seeded George Washington topped fifth-seeded New Mexico, 13th-seeded Southern defeated fourth-seeded Georgia Tech, and 15th-seeded Santa Clara defeated second seed Arizona in the first round. Michigan advanced to the Final Four.
1994—Two teams seeded 14th, Old Dominion and Weber State, survive the first round.

The Jayhawks, however, put together one the best three-game NCAA performances in recent memory.
The Jayhawks followed the Indiana game by silencing a mouthy, top-seeded Arkansas squad. Kansas advanced to the Final Four by putting the Razorbacks away 93-81
First, Kansas crushed second seeded and No. 4 ranked Indiana 83-65.
Kansas finished the streak by topping a loaded North Carolina squad in the Final Four, 79-72. The win would be the Jayhawks' final tournament victory that year.
The path to the Final Four seemed simple.
Grant Hill, Bobby Hurley and Christian Laettner were too much in the championship game as Duke sent the Jayhawks home 72-65.
12-65 Heavy favorites in 1992. Midwest top seed Kansas found itself on the other end of the upset bug.
If the Jayhawks could win their
two sub-regional games in Dayton, they would play the Midwest regional at Kemper Arena.
After smashing Howard 100-67 in the first round, Kansas was stunned by University of Texas-El Paso 66-60 in the second. The Miners used a slow-down approach and handcuffed the Jayhaws' backcourt combo of Adonis Jordan and Rex Walters.
Kansas coach Roy Williams blamed himself after the game, saying that he let some of his players watch UTEP's first round win against Evansville — something he had never done before.
"Dumb old Roy said, 'They can handle it.' If you ask our players, they looked at the game and figured they could beat those guys," Williams said. "They looked past UTEP in some ways, and we've never done that here."
Kansas also has been hit with minor upsets the last three tournaments.
The toughest could have been a 67-58 loss to Virginia in the Sweet 16 — a game that was played at Kemper Arena.
Kemper Academy Kansas came close to the Final Four in 1996, but Syracuse, led by John Wallace, knocked off the
Jayhawks in the Midwest regional final 60-57.
Last year, eventual champion Arizona held off a furious late rally by the Hawjacks to win 85-82. It was a heart-wrenching end to the most successful season in Kansas history.
Upsets likely will happen in this year's tournament, and Pritchard knows about them all too well.
"That's the bittersweet thing about the tournament," Pritchard said. "The potential that you can lose any game."

10 tournament teams to watch as the field goes from 64 to one
By Randy Withers Special to the Kansan
The Kansan's Randy Witers gives his top 10 picks to make some noise in this year's NCAA men's tournament:
1. Duke Blue Devils
Conference: Atlantic Coast
Coach: Mike Krzyezski
Record: 39-3 overall, 15-1 lift
Record: 29-3 overall, 15-1 in the ACC (finished first)
RPI Rating: No.3
I
could be the best team in America heading into the tournament.
Winning its conference games by an average margin of 25.4 points. Duke looks like it
The boys from Tobacco Road have put together a superb season despite going without freshman standout Elton Brand, a 6-foot-8, 270-pound monster in the post who broke his foot early in the season.
In Brand's absence, Krzyzewski has looked to fifth-year senior Roshown McLeod, who has stepped on the starting line to average a team-high 17.4 points in conference games.
With Brand returning to the Lineup for their last few games, Duke will be back to full strength just in time for the tournament.
2. Arizona Wildcats
RPI Rating: No.2
2. Arizona Wildcats

ARIZONA
WILDCATS
But the 'Cats look to be strong once, and they have been there before.
Of all the probable top seeds in the field, Arizona looks like the best candidate to crash and burn and make an early exit. we hope
Shooting guard Miles Simon and point guard Mike Bibby are two of the best players in America. Simon is a sniper, and Bibby, a lightning-quick sophomore, is already considered the best NBA prospect in the PAC-10.
A. J. Bramlett did an excellent job cleaning up in the paint during last year's tourney run, and he looks to do it again this year. Bramlett and his mates Michael Dickerson and Bennett Davison are one of the top-five frontcourt groups in the country.
RPI Rating: No.4
3. Kansas Jayhawks
Conference: Big 12
Head Coach: Roy Williams
Record: 34-3 overall, 15-1 in the
Big 12 (finished first)
BP Rating: No 4
KU
Everyone in Lawrence knows that the boys, Big 12 Player of the Year Raef Frentz and First Team All-
Big 12 frontcourt partner Paul Pierce, are ready. The problem is, the rest of the 64-team field knows it, too.
This means shooting guard Billy Thomas will have to continue his strong play and recover from his thigh bruise. If the 'Hawks can't open it up from behind the arc ... well, let's not even think about that.
4. North Carolina Tar Heels Conference: Atlantic Coast Conference
Head Coach: Bill Guthridge
ACC (finished second)
NC
second)
RPI Rating: No.1
Carolina is entering the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 37 years without coaching icon and former Jayhawk Dean Smith.
Enter Bill Guthridge, an assistant under Smith for 30 of those 37 years, and drastic change does not appear to be a hallmark of the new era of Tar Heel basketball.
The program that produced the greatest player of all time, Michael Jordan, has developed yet another freak of nature. Junior power forward Antawn Jamison could join Jordan as the only Tar Heel to ever win the James Naismith Award.
Joining Jamison for the best aerial act in the nation are senior shooting guard Shammond Williams, a killer from behind the arc, and sophomore point guard Ed Cota, last year's ACC rookie of the year.
Add star forward Vince Carter to the fray, and you get the second-most talented team in the country, behind conference rival Duke.

Coach Tubby Smith's Wildcats are an interesting squad. They have a center, Nazr Mohammad, who is first in the conference in field-goal percentage. But he isn't utilized enough to rank among the top 20 scorers in the SEC.
The Wildcats led their conference in shooting, making 47.6 percent of their shots. Kentucky had the top-ranked defense in shooting percentage against, allowing only 39 percent as a team.
Kentucky clinched its 39th SEC title while compiling a 17-1 record on the road.

Princeton returned four starters from last year's undefeated Ivy League championship team, and that is a major reason for the team's success.
Coach Bill Carmody has put together back-to-back seasons with undefeated records in the Ivy League and NCAA Tournament berths in just two years of coaching. He has assembled a good team with an excellent mix of players.
The Tigers have two good guards in point guard Mitch Henderson and shooting guard Brian Earl.

Jayhawk faithful cheer, drink beer during games
Madness of March brings local taverns more patrons,profits
By Ryan Vise Special to the Kansan
With a boost from the Jayhawks and their merry fans, Lawrence businesses hope this year's March Madness leads them to a pot of gold.
"It actually starts back in November, but March is a big month," said Sean Gerrity, manager of Henry T's Bar and Grill, 3520 W. Sixth St. Gerrity said business for March usually was 20 percent higher than any other month.
"People start coming in about an hour to two hours before the game starts." Gerrity said.
Although many students enjoy going out to watch the games, Gerrity insisted March Madness was not an affliction for just students.
"It really is a mixed crowd. Lawrence backs KU far more than any other community that I've been around," Gerrity said. "It's kind of cool how vibrant it is for six months."
During the regular season fans can be found all around Lawrence
"With the tournaments going on, it's difficult getting staff to handle the big crowds," Wright said. "The first few weeks of March Madness are hectic, but once we go farther into the tournament, it starts getting fun."
"It definitely gets a lot busier during that time," said Max Wright, manager of The Yacht Club, 530 Wisconsin St. "During March, if you ask anyone what day of the week it is they say, 'Well, KU plays on this day so it must be Monday.'"
establishments, but like Jayhawk basketball, business reaches a peak in March.
Preparing for the March rush is tedious, Wright said. Having a big enough wait staff to handle the crowds is one complication.
Jerry Neverve, owner of Red Lyon Tavern, 944 Massachusetts St., said his business increased 25 percent to 30 percent during March.
"It's tournament time and everyone gets excited," he said. "It gets especially intense as the games go into the Elite Eight, for instance."
Shannon Norwood, manager of Molly McGee's, 2429 Iowa St., said March Madness brought out the superstitious side of people.
"Every game day they have to sit at the exact same table and drink the exact same thing," she said.

Jayhawks land a No.5 seed in West regional
The Associated Press
The Kansas women's basketball team missed playing host to the first-and second-round games by one seed.
The Jayhawks landed a No. 5 seed in the West region. The top four seeds in the women's tournament are hosts for the preliminary rounds.
Kansas will play No. 12-seed Tulane on Friday in Iowa City, Iowa.
Tennessee, Old Dominion, Stanford and Texas Tech received the No.1 seeds yesterday in the NCAA Tournament bracket, which held surprises for Connecticut and several other schools.
Connecticut got only a No.2 seed in the East Regional after the Huskies had been expected to be a No.1 despite the loss of star Nykesa Sales to a ruptured Achilles' tendon late in the season.
UConn won the four games it played without Sales, including the Big East tournament championship game. But the selection committee apparently took the injury into consideration in seeding the third-ranked Huskies (31-2), who have lost only to Tennessee and Rutgers but didn't have the schedule strength of the top seeds.
North Carolina, Alabama and Duke joined Connecticut as the No.2 seeds
Tennessee (33-0), a dominating team all season long with All-American Chamique Holdscraw and a talented freshman class, was the top seed in the Mideast Regional.
That means the Lady Vols would not have to leave the state to earn a berth in the Final Four in Kansas City. Their first two NCAA games would be at home, and the regional semifinals and finals will be played in Nashville.
Coach Pat Summitt's team is trying to become the first to win to win three consecutive NCAA titles. Summit has guided the Lady Vols to five national championships in all.
In an interesting first-round pairing, Tennessee will meet the only other team that went unbeaten this season. 16th-seeded Liberty of the Big South.
Texas Tech in the Midwest has an even better route than Tennessee because the 1993 national champions, wouldn't have to leave home to earn a Final Four berth. The Raiders' first two games would be at home, and the Midwest Regional is on their court in Lubbock.

THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS

Freshman allegedly raped by three men
A KU freshman allegedly was raped early Sunday morning by three men, Lawrence police said.
The woman went to a party Saturday night at an apartment complex in the 2100 block of West 26th Street, said Sgt. George Wheeler.
"This lady had unconsensual sex with several subjects at this party," Wheeler said. "She left; she called police. We have suspects."
(USPS 650-640)
Wheeler said that one of the three suspects had been interviewed but that no arrests had been made.
Wheeler said the woman, who had been drinking, went into a bedroom with one of the men about 11:30 p.m. and passed out.
According to the police report, she woke up at 3 a.m., and three men were in the bed with her. The men allegedly raned her after she woke up.
Police could not say if the men had begun to rape her before she awoke.
Police contacted the victim at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, 325 Maine St., later that day.
The manager of the apartment complex did not comment about the allegations.
"It says very clearly that if the person cannot give consent, that is rape." Ballard said.
Barbara Ballard, director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, said students often were unaware of Kansas laws regarding rape.
"We give presentations on rape prevention all the time, and we recommend to drink responsibly," she said. "And don't go out alone. Don't go places with people you don't know, especially if you've been drinking."

University holds class despite snow
By Brandon Copley
bcplep@kanson.com
Kansan staff writer
University administrators decided to hold classes despite icy road conditions that closed Lawrence public schools and most schools in Topeka and Kansas City. Gov. Bill Graves also gave state workers in Topeka the day off.
Tim Dzubay, Olathe graduate student,
damaged his car Sunday night going
home from Lawrence, where he had
spent the day studying. Yesterday,
Dzubay waited until noon before leaving,
and he said the roads were much
better by that time.
Students and employees of the University of Kansas trudged through three inches of snow and battled high winds on the way to campus yesterday.
"I don't think I would have tried to come over much earlier," he said. "I listened to the radio to see if they would cancel classes since everything else was canceled. But I knew they wouldn't."
Provost David Shulenburger, who ultimately decides whether to cancel classes, began inspecting campus roads from his car about 5 a.m. yesterday. He said that if roads in Lawrence were passable and parking lots were accessible, classes would proceed.
"The general point we start from is that we don't close," he said. "We've got an adult community, and if they don't believe it's safe, they shouldn't come in."
Shulenburger's decision was based on his assessment of roads and parking lots and reports from University Facilities Operations and the KU Public Safety Office.
Associate Provost Lindy Eakin received a 5 a.m. phone call from Mike Richardson, facilities operations director. Eakin and Richardson discussed the weather conditions and efforts to clear roads and parking lots.
Eakin said ice beneath the snow presented the biggest problem.
"You have to pull the trigger pretty early, like by 5:30." Eakin said. "At that point, we looked at the conditions and the forecast, and we said it's not going to

KU beats K-State in blood donations; committee praised
By Carl Kaminski
ckaminski@kansan.com
Kansan stuff writer
In three days, the University collected 544 pints of blood compared to the 536 pints K-State collected earlier this semester.
For the first time since anyone can remember, the University of Kansas beat Kansas State University in the semiannual blood drive.
"No one that I know has ever heard of us beating K-State," said Beth Hoerman, All Scholarship Hall Council chairwoman. "It was a joke among the American Red Cross that we would never beat them."
Judy Green, the University's Red Cross representative, said that it had been at least six semesters since the University has beaten K-State.
wessiga Perkins, Association of University Residence Halls chairwoman said this semester's drive went more smoothly than last semester's because more appointments were filled.
Green said that the spring effort was successful because the blood drive committee worked hard to advertise and because students were becoming less afraid of giving blood.
Hoerman said the committee also would raffle off items donated by area businesses at the end of the week. Everyone who donated will be entered in the raffle.
Perkins said the donation site at Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall played a large role in the success of the blood drive.
Some of the prizes include gift certificates to area restaurants and to Borders Bookstore, a leather backpack, CDs and a bicycle helmet.
Prizes, including free T-shirts to the first 50 donors at each site, were used as incentives to attract donors.
"The Union and Corbin really
She said the success of the GSP-Corbin site probably had a lot to do with the timing of the drive this year. It took place before Rock Chalk Review community service points were due, and many women at the hall donated to earn points for their sororities.
raked in a lot," she said.
There were also several midterms taking place on the first two days of the drive. On Thursday, when the site moved to GSP-Corbin, more people had time to donate, Perkins said. The residence hall also received the overflow when Union site was full.
"Typically, GSP-Corbin has more sorority women than any other hall." Perkins said.
Hoerman said she was disappointed with the turnout at McCollum and Oliver halls. In the past, the two halls have averaged between 60 and 80 units a day, but this spring the average was between 30 and 40, she said. Hoeman hopes to focus more efforts to increase those numbers.

Auto wreck kills former KU student

Shay Vangas loved to make people laugh.
Shay Vangas loved to make people laugh. Vangas, a former KU student and Derby resident, was killed in an automobile accident Friday night in Wichita. He was 22.
Andy Delaney, Hiawatha senior, was Vangas' roommate at the Alpha KappaLambda fraternity last year. He said Vangas always liked to have a good time.
It's been a tough couple days so far." Delaney said. "He was there when I needed him, and I hope I was there when he needed me."
Andy Moore, San Diego senior, said Vangas was an incredible person.
"Everyone that knew him liked him," he said. "It's extremely unfortunate because the guy would never do any wrong to anybody."
Vangas was returning home from work at a Wichita golf shop about 11:30 Friday night when his truck collided with a

police car in an intersection, Wichita police said.
Cindy Gavagan, Vangas' aunt, said the stoplight was green when her nephew entered the intersection.
sad Police said the officer, David Perkins, was responding to an officer-in-trouble call with his lights and sirens on.
Police said that Vangas was ejected from the vehicle because he was not wearing a seat belt and that he sustained head injuries. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Jeannie Vangas, Shay Vangas' mother, said the family wanted to look into clarifying the codes that allowed police officers to break traffic laws. She said the officer was responding to a fight, which was important but not as urgent as a shooting would be.
"It was so senseless," she said. "We're real upset about that. We're going to pursue it."
Lt. Aaron Harrison of the Wichita police said state statute allowed officers to drive contrary to traffic laws if they had their lights and sirens on. He said the specific codes that allowed officers to respond with lights and sirens varied by department.
The accident report and the coroner's report are sealed while the Kansas Bureau of Investigation and an accident reconstructor investigate.
Todd Abplanalp, Alpha Kappa Lambda president, said a number of Vangas' fraternity brothers would attend the funeral to show their support for the family.
Funeral services for Shay Vangas will be at 2 p.m. today at Smith Mortuary,1415 N. Rock Road in Derby.
their suppliment for the past.
"We're all deeply saddened by his untimely death," said Abplanalp, Topeka junior. "The chapter would like to express our deepest sympathies to those who knew and loved Shav the most."
Shay the host Shanda Vangas, Shay Vangas' sister and a Denver resident, said it would help her family to see his friends again.
"It's hard," she said. "We're lucky we have a lot of great friends and neighbors to help us." She said her brother was at his best when he was at the center of attention. She also said he loved kids.
"He lived with gusto," Shanda Vangas said. Shanda Vangas said her brother had plans to return to the University. He lived in Lawrence through last fall and videotaped games for the KU football team.
He had worked for the soccer team and women's basketball team and made last year's women's basketball highlight video, she said
Shay's experience videotaping made him interested in working on the other side of the camera, Shanda Vangas said. He had planned to pursue a career as a sports commentator.

Bill would ask campus police to release info
By Ronnie Wachter
rwachter@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A U.S. Senate committee is debating a bill that would force universities to report more types of crimes to local media and law enforcement agencies.
mor efort ceilent age, the Bill, which is being examined by the Appropriations Committee on Labor. Health and Human Service and Education, would not affect the University of Kansas Public Safety office because it already releases information about all reported crimes to the public.
Some institutions want to keep information about crimes on campuses from being released. The University is not one of those schools, said Sgt. Chris Keary of the KU Public Safety Department.
"If a crime has been reported to us or an arrest has been made by us, those are reported," Keary said. "We release all that information daily, and also total them up into yearly reports."
By releasing its statistics about all reported crimes, the Public Safety Office remains ahead of the bill's requirements, which would require institutions to report information about crimes such as manslaughter, arson and vandalism, Keary said.
However, there always will be some information that should not be released, Keary said.
"We think that we've always been more than open with sharing information, within the right to privacy of course," he said. "There is some information that we'll have to hold back from the public to protect innocent people or victims of crimes."
Keary said the Student Right-ToKnow Act is a reason for the department's open policy. The act states that students may inspect and review police records and file complaints.
"That's an important act to us," he said, "because we want the students to know what's going on."
Rodger Oroke, director of facilities management, said that, although he was proud of the University's openness to share its crime statistics, he did not think the University was an example for other schools to follow.
"They're in different states," he said.
"They may be under different circumstances. We're in no position to recommend our policies to other universities."

Sirens to signal safety week
By Emily C. Forsyth
eforsyth@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
A statewide tornado safety drill will be conducted today by the National Weather Service as part of Severe Weather Awareness Week in Kansas.
Paul Frantz, National Weather Service meteorologist in Topeka, said that to make the drill realistic, the service would not announce a specific time that sirens would sound.
"It will be sometime in either the morning or early afternoon," Frantz said.
Local tornado warning sirens, weather radio alarms and the Emergency Alert System will be activated simultaneously to signify the start of the drill.
Paula Phillips, director of Douglas
County Emergency Management, said the drill was imperative to remind people to prepare for the upcoming months.
"We try to increase the awareness to citizens of threats and dangers surrounding severe weather and also make sure they know what protective measures to take when severe weather is apparent." Phillips said.
She also said that people should keep in mind several key differences in weather vocabulary.
"The first thing is to know the difference between a watch and a warning," Phillips said. "A watch means conditions are favorable for development of severe weather. A warning means that weather that can threaten property and lives is occurring."
Today's drill will include both a practice watch and a practice warning. Frantz said the drill was an important opportunity to make sure
Simulated tornado watch and warning drills will occur today across Kansas. The time is not being released so that the drills will be more realistic.
SOUNDING THE SIRENS
that all sirens were working properly.
He said that the drill was a chance not only for citizens to prepare for severe weather situations but also for weather service staff, emergency preparedness workers and public institutions such as schools or hospitals.
Frantz said that people should think about what they would do if a tornado warning were issued, no matter where they might be.
"To make it effective, go through the steps of what you might do if this was a real scenario," Frantz said.

Bravo and a hearty Pat on the Back to Jayhawks who brighten our campus
The editorial board is happy to give a Pat on the Back to:
Facilities Operations employees, who managed to get campus "desnowed" Sunday and Monday. Getting up at the crack of dawn in the freezing cold to scrape out the sidewalks and Jayhawk Boulevard is a Herculean task that we should all be thankful for. In addition to a Pat on the Back, we suggest that every student who did not slip and fall on his or her rear drop off a plate of hot chocolate chip cookies to the folks at Facilities Operations, conveniently located next to Stauffer-Flint Hall.
Chris Ogle of Lawrence Bus Company and KU on Wheels, who made sure that the buses could run
by testing them 3 a.m. Monday morning, rather than just taking the easy road, no pun intended, and canceling bus service for the day.
Trudy Foster, who works in the media room at Haworth Hall. Trudy was nominated for her friendly attitude and her penchant for chatting with students. She goes out of her way to help students get what they need. For doing her job well and making students' days a little more cheery, we are happy to salute Trudy.
Aroop Pal and Sasha Floros deserve commendation and a Pat on the Back for coordinating the Blueprints leadership Conference Feb. 28. About 100 students attended the conference, geared
around the theme, Get Connected Empowering you for the future. The students who got up and faced the cold early that Saturday morning also deserve a Pat on the Back.
The students who took part in the Campus Cause sponsored clean-up of campus Saturday deserve a Pat on the Back. Although campus looks cleaner now simply because of the snow, it is also much cleaner underneath. About 250 students took this opportunity to clean up campus and do something for the community.
If you would like to nominate someone who makes your day brighter for a Pat on the Back, please contact the opinion page at opinion@kansan.com.
Andy Obermueller for the editorial board

Rep. Powell's plan for affirmative action is mere conservative rhetoric
Rep. Tony Powell of Wichita has introduced a bill, (House Bill No. 2958), in the Kansas House that is an exact duplicate of the California Civil Rights Initiative commonly known as Proposition 209. Kansas has implemented few affirmative action programs, and even those few are window dressing. The bill is more conservative rhetoric than it is of practical value. It also mirrors a plank of
thekansas Republican Party platform which opposes government mandated affirmative action for businesses.
The bill makes no mention of sexual orientation or veterans' preferences which leaves a great deal of uncertainty in the future for these groups. There are similar bills in Missouri, Colorado, and Oklahoma. The Black Democratic Caucus of Kansas has joined forces with the The Kansas Democratic Hispanic Caucus in opposition to this bill. We feel that all minorities, African-American, Hispanic, Native American, Asian or women should have the opportunity to

Perspective
The world would be much simpler if we didn't have opinions on anything. We could walk around whistling the theme to the Andy Griffith Show, skipping rocks on the sidewalk.
We'd run into some perturbed stranger angry about his daily worry and we'd say, "Sorry, friend, I have no opinions to share with you today." And we'd say it with a happy-golucky grin as we squeezed ripe tangerines into our Fozzie-the-Bear lunch mugs.

We'd walk out into the rain on a cold, dizzily October night and we'd aloofly comment, "Looks like rain, buddy," to a passing stranger with our everpresent smile.
We'd whistle and chuckle like Ward Cleaver the day the Beav brought home an A. When a friend would try to engage us about the recent political scandal, we'd lean over and comment. "Politics isn't for me, buddy boy, I've thrown in the public-service chains and pardoned the mover."
Cherry Coke would taste like Cherry Coke and not like carbonated capitalist sugar water in a demographically-oriented can. The air would be air instead of polluted city vapors. (I know this is Lawrence, where the air is relatively clean, but we're imagining here.)
We'd walk up to strangers with a "Howdy do. We'd pet every dog we saw, and say 'How ya doin there fella? and wed be genuinely interested, waiting for a response, the world would be spendidly lively and happy. We'd play imaginary hopscotch on Massachusetts Street, and bounce a rubber ball while jingling the change in our pocket.
Why? Because we'd be eternally happy. We'd be delirious and busy from the constant rush of endorphins. We'd be giggly and goofy and silly. We'd be a nation of zany geek men and women. We'd collectively look at our reflections in windows, cock our hands like guns and shoot and wink. We'd be oblivious to torture, disdain, torment, and anguish. we'd be
goofballs. We'd be out-of-control ridiculous goofballs.
tipped themselves with finger paint and we'd walk by an inquire, "How's the pain on your skin, pal?" We'd nud at each other and smile and shine apples on the lapels of our jackets as we tipped the brims of our derbies.
Some lunatic would come screaming and flailing some religious doctrine in our face asking us if we know God and we'd say simply, "There nella cain, can't say that I do, but I hear He's a real nice chap." And we'd have to call him a chap, because we'd call everybody a chap. It would come naturally.
We'd stroll down the boulevard in our tuxedos and top hats and spats smoking cigarettes in holders. We'd squint to keep our monacles in place while readjusting our gloves. We'd take in every breath like it was our first and stretch our hands out to the mid-day sky.
We'd be pompous and arrogant and we wouldn't care, because we'd be pompous and arrogant about nothing. We'd be pompous and arrogant because we were alive. We wouldn't care about the dead people, not because they are unimportant, but simply because we could no longer chat together or play Sunday badminton. This is a world without any opinions. You have to let me acknowledge the fact that we could have simple positive opinions like "I love that bright sun," or "Gee, this bubblemug's got a lot of chew." But that would be it. We could have no opinions except for the ones about simple pleasures. We wouldn't even laugh when somebody said "Testicles" because testicles would be an everyday word. "Sorry there friend, didn't mean to kick you in the testicles."
We'd wop in our motor carriages and do a quick shine of our shoes. And as we'd drive into the sunset with our newly bleached white-wall tires, we'd put our arms around our favorite gals and whistle, "My, what a day it is!"
We'd be a bunch of mindless bafoons, but at least we'd be happy.

Of course, people who aren't informed about issues like this and people who don't have to be concerned about issues like this because it doesn't negatively affect them, like Smith, naturally would think that those of us who are concerned are pushing the panic button. But once you look at the political context within which this request is made, and when you are aware of the many
In the Feb. 26 article, "Context is needed to Understand Request", Judy Smith of Concerned Women for America says she thinks the legislature might be pushing the panic button a little too soon in regard to the legislator who request information about which college courses within the Regents institutions continus homosexual or bisexual content. I would like to respond to her statement.
Last year in Iowa, a similar request was made, which led to legislation that sought to restrict funding to universities that had such courses. Fortunately, this attempt failed.
The 'panic button' and content request
I have another response to Smith's statement: By pushing the panic button, we were able to galvanize the support of people across the state and across the nation to assert that no one's academic freedom would be violated. This story was covered by national and local press — even Gov. Bill Graves sent a clear and unequivocal message that he would not support legislation that sought to restrict course content. Perhaps this message sent by the governor and from Kansans across the state will cause the anonymous leg-
ways in which lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, and transgendered people are marginalized, it makes perfect sense. It was only a year ago that the Kansas legislature signed into law the prohibition on same-sex marriage. Kansas is one of only five states that still criminalizes same-sex sexual contact between adults — this is not illegal for unmarried heterosexuals. Kansas is one of only eight states that has no hate crimes legislation. I suspect we will see other bills in the legislature this year that will threaten our community. I think the facts and the context of this request give us every reason to be concerned.
islator who made the request to reconsider proposing something that will obviously be vetoed by the governor. In my mind, that is worth pushing the panic button.

I am very upset about today's Kansan. A great program, casino night, was put on by Templin Hall last Saturday night. We had double the attendance of the campus cleanup, yet no mention was made of the residence hall program. Our program was also for charity and made quite a bit of money.
I looked through the paper three times just to make certain. Why was this huge program overlooked, and neglected by the school newspaper that is supposed to represent the entire school? Will there be an article tomorrow, or will the Kansan just pretend that the residence hall's don't exist and cannot outshine the Greek community?

Debate squad argues its way to No.10 ranking
By Emily C. Forsyth eforsyth@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The KU Debate squad is ranked first in its district and 10th nationally by the Cross-Examination Debate Association.
The rankings give the squad added confidence as it prepares to compete in the CEDA National Championship Tournament, March 20-23 at the University of Rochester, New York.
Rhode Phares, assistant coach, said,
"We have very high expectations.
We're going to the tournament
thinking that we can win it."
There were 19 schools ranked in the University's district, and the squad surpassed regional rivals such as Emporia State University, ranked third, and Kansas State University, ranked eighth. The national rankings place the University ahead of top debate schools such as Northwestern, Dartmouth and Harvard.
Phares said the rankings were indicative of the depth of the entire squad, not just of individual performances.
"I think it's reflective that we've been performing at a high level over the course of the season and that the whole squad has been performing well," Phares said. "Getting a high ranking means that within the squad, all of our teams are doing well."
Michael Eber, Miami sophomore
and squad member, said that the ranking was a good indication of the squad's success, but that it did not give it an advantage.
"When you get to the competition, it doesn't help," Eber said. "You still need to focus on each and every round."
Eber said he enjoyed this season's debate topic, which is security assistance for countries in southeast Asia. He said he was taking classes about southeast Asia and international relations, which helped him in debate.
"It's amazing how much you can learn from debate itself," Eber said. "There's a great overlap between debate issues and issues in classes or whatever career path you want to take."
Two teams from the KU squad have been granted pre-bids, or automatic qualifications, to the National Debate Tournament. March 27-30 at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City.
The first team is composed of Hajir Ardebili, Overland Park senior, and Grant McKeehan, Overland Park sophomore. Amy Miller, Topeka junior, and Eber comprise the second team.
Of 16 schools receiving pre-bids, the University was one of only two schools granted two pre-bids for the National Debate Tournament. It is the first time since 1989 that the University has received two pre-bids to this tournament.

get any worse, so there was no point in canceling classes."
Eakin said the administration was committed to posting a decision on the University's snow hot line by 6 a.m. The number is 864-594
He said that the governor's decision made University officials rethink their decision and that faculty and staff would not lose vacation time if they stayed home because of the weather.
Student attendance requirements are determined by the faculty teaching each class, said Jeannette Johnson, assistant to the vice chancellor.
Johnson compared students who chose to miss class Friday because of the basketball game to students who did not attend because of the weather.
"These are decisions you make as a student," she said. "You decide if you can make up the work you missed or whether the roads are dangerous."
Johnson said she would expect faculty to allow for absences because of the weather.
Students should contact department chairs or deans if they encountered faculty unwilling to accept the weather as an excuse for missing class.
The department put up orange plastic cones to mark rows of parking spaces at Memorial Stadium.
Donna Hultine, assistant director at the parking department, said the snow caused problems in the Memorial Stadium and Burge Union parking lots, where spaces are identifiable only by pavement markings.
KU Police Sgt. Chris Keary reported only one weather-related accident on campus yesterday morning.
According to the Washington Post's weather report, www.weatherpost.com, Lawrence should have mostly sunny skies today.
The high should be in the 30s and the low should be in the teens.

To catch a talking bird
Pet World lost one of its expensive feathered friends Friday afternoon.
Sgt. George Wheeler said that a $1,200 double-yellowhead Amazon parrot was found missing between noon and 2 p.m. from the store, 711 W. 23rd St. He said police were investigating.
Tim Emerson, Pet World manager, said the birds were kept in open cages.
"Anyone can come over and pick them up," he said. "We have a camera on the bird pen, so we're going to go over the tape, and hopefully, we'll see something."
Emerson said he was concerned because the parrot, which was only a few months old, depended on a special formula of baby parrot food.
"I hope they realize that they need to feed it the right formula, or it's going to die." Emerson said.
Although Wheeler said police had no suspects, the baby parrot may not be completely helpless.
"The bird speaks but has a limited vocabulary, and it bites." Wheeler said.

Child development center to be redesigned, relocated
By Gerry Doyle gdoyle@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
On-campus child care soon will take its first step toward a better center.
Hilltop Child Development Center, which serves students and faculty at the University of Kansas, will be relocated to a redesigned, larger center near Stouffler Place apartments. The project, which will cost about $3.3 million, will be financed through a $4 student fee, which was implemented last year.
Construction will begin this summer, and the new building should be complete by August 1999.
The project was an attempt to improve the taxed capabilities of the current center, said Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, associate provost. With a waiting list of more than 200 students, many with child care needs often were turned away, she said.
The Hilltop building was inadequate, and its shortcomings were a problem, its Cluskey-Fawcett said.
really designed for kids. The new design is great for students with kids - you can't really go to school here and have your kids any closer."
"There are more kids than spaces," she said. "It's an old house retrofitted for this use. It's not
Pat Pisani, Hilltop director, said that the new center would be a better environment. An increased capacity — more than 250 children, a mixture of part-time and full-time attendees, can be served by the new center — a better learning environment and location all will be welcome additions to the center's capabilities, she said.
The center costs between $8.75 and $22.50 per week for students and faculty, depending on what program a child is enrolled in, Pisani said. The design and its location would add to Hilltop's usefulness, and the fee increase is minimal, she said.
The new design features a Kansas theme, complete with rolling hills and plains in the play area, Pisani said. The center will feature "neighborhoods," so that it will not have an institutional feel, she said.
Pisani said she told the architect that one should be able to walk in and have no sense that hundreds of children were inside.
"It's designed to be kind of like a small cluster of homes. Once more
"There are more kids than spaces."

people start to hear about this, I'm sure the list of people waiting to get in will mushroom."
Planning for the project began last spring, she said. After getting an administrative go-ahead, the architect, Rafael Architects of Kansas City, Kan, was hired. The center will hold about 100 more children than the present building.
For students with children, a new Hilltop would be a huge help, said Nicolas Shump, a Lawrence graduate student with two children.
The waiting list for the old Hilltop had prevented him from using its services. Shump said.
Although some complaints had been raised about traffic in the Stouffer Place area, those inconveniences would be outweighed by the center's benefits, he said.
"If my kids were younger, they'd definitely go there," Sumpa said. "I think it's a good deal. Students need to have a place to send their kids."
Next year, Hiltop Child Development Center plans to open a new center to accommodate nearly twice as many students as are enrolled now. Hiltop's history at the University of Kansas:

Big Dance is a big letdown for the Big 12
By Tommy Gallagher
tgallagher@kansan.com
Kansan sportwriter
With the announcement that four Big 12 Conference schools had made the NCAA Tournament, coaches across the league wondered why there were not five.
By contrast, five conferences placed five teams in the tournament. Only the Big 12 had four.
Oklahoma State coach Eddie Sutton said he was dismayed to see that the Big 12 lagged behind comparable conferences.
"The Big 10, they didn't win a game last year in the NCAA and all five of their teams are seeded higher than ours," Sutton said. "I was disappointed, and I was disappointed for our conference. A lot of times, perception plays a role."
Entering this season, some prominent national analysts called the Big 12's first season a disappointment. Both Kansas and Texas played the Sweet 16 last year, though neither team advanced any further.
This season, the Big 12 placed four teams in the tournament.
Kansas received the No. 1 seed in the Midwest. But Oklahoma State (No. 8 South), Oklahoma (No. 10 East) and Nebraska (No. 11 West) each failed to impress the selection committee. All had hopes of a higher seed.
Kansas coach Roy Williams said he was amazed by seedings of the other Big 12 schools in the tournament.
But not everyone could attend the Big Dance.
THE LAWRENCE F. KING
CENTER
"I truly have a hard time believing that they have those type of seedings." Williams said. "I was shocked when I saw those seedings. They certainly deserved something better than what they got."
Williams: Said he was shocked at Big 12 seedings.
Missouri (17-14) would have been the fifth team from the Big 12 to make the NCAA Tournament, but a 23-game road losing streak during the past two years might have eliminated the Tigers.
So instead, Missouri must settle for a first-round home-game tomorrow night against Alabama-Birmingham, in the 32-team Post-season NIT.
Missouri coach Norm Stewart reflected positively about the season, but his manner was subdued.
"We've had good ball games on the road and just haven't quite been able to get over the hump," Stewart said. "It's been close a couple of times, but we just couldn't do the little things to overcome some of the things that had happened to us. That call here. That shot there."
Kansas State (17-11) also will play in firstround action of the NIT tomorrow. The Wildcats (17-11) will play at North Carolina State.

Bradford bumps up team spirit
By Tommy Gallagher
tgallagher @ kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas forward Nick Bradford may not be the most dominant or explosive player when he steps on the court, but he might be the player with the most enthusiasm.
Bradford has a style all his own.
The chest bumps. The dancing. The laughing. The no-look passes and finger rolls. And what had been his trademark tube socks, which Bradford has ditched.
"They're probably gone for good," Bradford said. "I'm not superstitious or anything. I just decided to switch it up a little bit and go with a new look."
During pregame warmups, Bradford has several roles. He has different routines for forwards Raef LaFrentz and Paul Pierce, among others, that help energize his teammates before each game.
"With Raef, I don't chest bump. I just pat him on the butt because he's always ready to go." Bradford said. "With Paul, I give him one serious stare-down to make sure he's ready to go."
Everyone else receives the standard chest bump, even though coach Roy Williams banned the practice early this season.
"Nick Bradford provides great enthusiasm," Pierce said. "When he gets on the court, he provides a spark for us. Those chest bumps really get us going before each game."

The Jayhawks, 34-3, won the Big 12 Conference Tournament last weekend despite an ailing Raef LaFrentz and without guard Billy Thomas.
The result was more playing time for Bradford, who played almost 22 minutes per game in the tournament, well above his average of 13.6 minutes of playing time this season
Bradford averages four points and 2.4 rebounds, but he played well in the Big 12 Tournament. That included a devilish performance — six points, six rebounds and six assists — in a 91-59 semifinal win Saturday against Nebraska.

Kansas pitcher out for season
Workman, who has a persistent elbow injury, will see a doctor today about approving a medical redshirt, Bunge said. She only played five games in the fall and has not played this spring.
A first team All-Big 12 selection her sophomore year, Workman broke a Kansas record by pitching in 311.2 innings and finished the season with a 1.48 ERA. She was named to the Big 12 All-Tournament team and received second team Mid-West Region honors.
Junior pitcher Sarah Workman will not play for the rest of the season, Kansas softball coach Tracy Bunge announced yesterday.
"I know that I'm expected to play more"
"Last weekend was difficult because this was all mixed up in things." Bunge said. "Now we know Sarah's not going to be back for us, and we can
CAROLINE BURKE
Workman was 50 in the fall, finishing with 35 strikeouts and an ERA of 0.98. Although the team is not 100 percent without her, Bunge said, the other pitchers, s o p h o r e Christy McPhail and freshman Jessi Kowski, have done a good job of filling in.
Bunge said that making the decision at this point in the season gave the team a chance to mentally refocus and concentrate on the rest of the season.
Workman: Will not play for the rest of the season.
- Laura Bokenkroger
"On Saturday, we played in a hard-fought game against a good team in Fresno State," Bunge said. "Jessi pitched extremely hard for us, only giving up four hits. I think that we just need to find the consistency and mental state we had on Saturday."

SURPRISING NCAA TOURNAMENT FACTS
The number most associated with the NCAA tournament is 64 because that is how many teams make the field.
That is far from the only number connected with this year's tournament, which starts Thursday. Here are some figures that could be interesting, might be surprising and will change by this time next year:
0 — times all four No. 1 seeds have advanced to the Final Four. 3 — times in the '90s the scoring champion has played in the tournament (Bo Kimble of Loyola Marymount in 1990, Glenn Robinson of Purdue in 1994 and Charles Jones of Long Island University in 1997).
3 — bids for the Midwestern Collegiate Conference, the most for one of the non-power conferences since
the big West had three in 1990. 4 — teams making their first NCAA tournament appearance — Illinois-Chicago, Northern Arizona, Prairie View A&M and Radford.
6 — No. 1 seeds for North Carolina since the field expanded to 64 in 1985. Kansas and Kentucky are next to five each.
6 — schools to repeat as national champion, with Arizona trying to make it seven.
7 — the longest current streak of NCAA appearances to be snapped this year when Wake For

8 — schools from last year's Sweet Sixteen that did not even make this year's field.
8 — the lowest seeding of a national champion (Villanova in
1985)
9 — No. 1 seeds that have gone on to win the national championship since 1979.
9 - teams ending at least a 10-year drought since their last NCAA appearance.
11 — lowest-seeded team to reach the Final Four (LSU in 1986).
14 — teams with losing records that have played in the NCAA Tournament. Prairie View A&M joins that group this year.
14 — tournaments that have had fields of 64.
16 — teams in the field that did not beat another NCAA tournament team this season, with only No. 5 Princeton among the top half of field

Nerd's revenge Princeton team gains legitimacy
By Jim Litke The Associated Press
Princeton's most famous basketball graduate was surfing the Internet when the phone rang. Bill Bradley's specialty is international studies, but the only thing he was studying at that moment were the teams sliding into the NCAA tournament draw alongside his own team.
And when the bracket was complete, Bradley, Princeton
Commentary
Class of '65, former senator, former congressman and former New York Knick, fairly groaned.
"Same bracket as North Carolina?" he said. "Connecticut, too? And UNLV to start?"
After all, there is a price to be paid for the success of Princeton this season.
Under Coach Pete Carril for most of the decade, the Tigers were the epitome of pointy-headed basketball. They were kids whose class schedules were more impressive than their jump shots, running an outdated offense with such patience and precision that what opponents feared most was dying from boredom or paper cuts.
Princeton always sneaked into the tournament as the Ivy League champion and a No. 12 seed, always scared the daylights out of basketball factories like Georgetown, Arkansas, Villanova and Syracuse but almost always went home after one round. The consolation prize is that most of the players went home to begin careers as investment bankers or Wall Street lawyers.
Now that has changed — the basketball part, anyway.
Two years ago, Carril's final Princeton team gave the tournament one of its grandest moments, upsetting then-defending champion UCLA, 43-41, on a signature backdoor layup with 3.8 seconds left. Caril took a job as an assistant coach with the NBA's Sacramento Kings after Princeton got beat in the next round.
Carril's assistant of 14 years, Bill Carmody, filled the coaching spot at Princeton. More easygoing than Carril but no less finicky about how to run an offense and defense, he has presided over a two-year run of excellence that resulted in the Tigers, 26-1, being ranked No. 8 in the country. Princeton is the East Regional fifth seed this year.
But these are not — to borrow a phrase — your father's Tigers. Under Carmody, Princeton plays a more conservative defense but gambles much more on offense, particularly with three-point shots.
Bradley has observed this evolution from a distance. He is a lifetime student of hoops but is stuck on the opposite coast from Princeton. He is finishing a one-year appointment as visiting professor at Stanford's Institute of International Studies.
"It is a typical Princeton team in some ways," he said.
"They're demonstrating how much mastery of the fundamentals can be used to advantage in a game where not everybody bothers to learn them any more."
Several high-ranked opponents can attest to the truth of Bradley's observations. The Tigers beat Wake Forest, North Carolina State and Texas and might have topped North Carolina if not for 22 missed three-point attempts. Teams used to hate to draw Princeton in the NCAA tournament as the underdog. Anybody who watched ESPN's selection show Sunday night can attest that Princeton is not welcome as the favorite either.
When UNLV's players were informed on camera that they would be playing the Tigers, their expressions turned blank in a hurry.
Unlike Bradley, who scored 58 points against Wichita State in the 1965 consolation game, there is not an NBA prospect on the Princeton suad.
"We've had good teams here before," Carmody said. "Some could have been as good or better, but they didn't play together as well. I don't care what anybody says. The way this team runs their offense is the best I've seen since I've been here."
Litke is a columnist for The Associated Press.
Oklahoma City to hold first round of regional
The Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY — Stanley Draper Jr. started smiling as soon as the NCAA basketball bracket for Oklahoma City unfolded on TV, and
NCAA
he still was grinning yesterday morning.
ation, which along with the University of Oklahoma, is playing host to the first round of the Midwest Regional.
Draper is executive director of the Oklahoma City All Sports Assoc-
The tournament's selection committee made Kansas the No. 1 seed in the region, which was expected. Then it sent the Jayhawks not to Chicago — the other Midwest first-round site — but to Oklahoma City, where local fans are well aware of the Jayhawks thanks to their ties to the Big 12 Conference.
Kansas' first-round opponent is Prairie View, which virtually has no shot of winning but provides the tournament with a great story. The Panthers needed a 20-point rally to win their conference tournament and thus gain the automatic NCAA bid.
Last year, Prairie View failed to win a conference game. Its football team hasn't won a game of any kind since 1989.
The tournament committee sent three coaches with local ties — Steve Robinson of Florida State University, Rob Evans of University of Mississippi and, last but not least, Billy Tubs of Texas Christian University to Oklahoma City.
And then there's Tubbs, who has spent just about every Christmas season playing in the All College Tournament during his 14 years as coach of the Oklahoma Sooners. He will bring to the Myriad the same kind of team he had at Oklahoma — one that loves to run and, if possible, run it up.
Robinson spent two years at Tulsa, Okla., where he led the Golden Hurricane to an All College Tournament title at the Myriad. Evans used to be an assistant coach at Oklahoma State.
"I've had some calls already this morning from people wanting tickets to that TCU game," Draper said. "Of course, we sell tickets by session and not by individual games. And we're sold out. We were the first venue that sold out."
Texas Christian has the potential to go a long way in the tournament, which would be no surprise given

Oklahoma City received high marks from the NCAA for the way the tournament was run in 1994. Draper expects the same thing this year, even with ongoing renovations at the Myriad.
Oklahoma City's history. In 1977 and 1994, the two time regionals have been here, the eventual national champion started its run at the Mvriad.
The construction means about only half the parking lot below the Myriad will be available. But letters have been mailed to all ticket holders explaining where to park and how to use a shuttle service. The media will be housed at a hotel across the street from the Myriad, so representatives won't have to mess with traffic.
Panthers to try to uproot No.1 seed

PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas — After a history of athletic starvation. Prairie View A&M now wants more than a crumb.

Make no mistake, this will not be easy. The Panthers, the only team in the NCAA tournament with a losing record, play top seed Kansas in the first round.
"We're going to show them who the No.1 team is," said Prairie View forward Julius Marble, one of nine seniors on the team. "We're going to
goout there to play and have fun." The Panthers (13-16) are playing in the tournament for the

won the Southwestern Athletic Conference tournament.
Their reward is Friday's game with Kansas (34-3), making its 27th appearance in the postseason showcase.
Coach Elwood Plummer said he thought winning the SWAC tournament was a great milestone for the university.
"Nobody knows too much about Prairie View." Marble said. "This is our chance to show everybody what we have and what we're made of."
"The Big Dance is something every coach looks forward to. I told the guys before we left last Tuesday, we're not going to just win the SWAC tournament. We're going to participate in the NCAA tournament," he said.
Participating is one thing. Moving on is another.
What most folks know about Prairie View, about 50 miles northwest of Houston. is a sports program of frustration.
Prairie View is only the 14th team with a losing record to get into the tournament. Just one — Bradley in 1955 — advanced beyond the first round.
"It's not just a win for basketball," added Tamarron Sharpe, the most valuable player in the SWAC team.
In the 1991-92 season, the basketball team was winless. The following year, the basketball team improved a little — it won one game. Two years ago, in a game against Tulsa, it lost by 92 points.
The Panthers football team has lost 77 consecutive games, an NCAA record.
"I'm excited and ready for the game, and Kansas better watch out."
Prairie View guard
King Whetstone
Wetstone added, "I'm excited and ready for the game, and Kansas better watch out."
Plummer does not want to diminish the euphoria, but he understands what his team now faces.
"We can't enjoy it long, because we have to put in a game plan for Kansas," he said. "We're really going
to have to use our quickness, because Kansas is bigger. Plummer is in his second tour as coach of the Panthers. He left in 1979 after seven years, then returned in 1990, signing on two days before the school scrapped all sports except track and basketball.
"People told me to hang in there, that they would get the program back," he said.

Unanimous All-American title goes to Tennessee's Holdsclaw
The Associated Press
Chamique Holdsclaw, who helped make Tennessee an unanimous No. 1 in the poll, was a unanimous selection yesterday to The Associated Press women's All-America basketball team.
Holdswain was on the first team on all 40 ballots from a national media panel after leading Tennessee to a 33-0 regular-season record.
She was joined by Connecticut's injured star Nykesha Sales, Old Dominion's Ticha Penichelo, Texas Tech's Alicia Thompson and North Carolina's Tracy Reid.
Sales was the only other player named on all 40 ballouts, although she was not a first-team pick on every one. Penicheiro was listed on all but one ballast. Holdswclaw and Penicheiro became the first repeat selections on the first team in the four-year history of the AP team. Holdswclaw, a 6-foot-2 junior, was a third-team pick as a freshman in 1996.
Tennessee freshman Tamika Catchings made the second team. Old Dominion was the only other school with two players in the top three teams, and Nayre Roberts earned a third-team berth.
Holdswclaw has led Tennessee to the last two national titles and improved even more this season. Surrounded by a cast that includes Catchings and three other talented freshmen, Holdswclaw did not have to do as much as she did last season, when she played everything from the post to the point.
Holdswclaw is averaging three steals, and her defensive plays often spark Tennessee's devastating transition game. She also is averaging 22.9 points and eight rebounds and shoots 56 percent from the field.
Sales, a second-team pick in 1997, was having a big senior year when she went down with a ruptured Achilles tendon in the next-to-last regular-season game.
Sales averaged 20.9 points and shot 56.6 percent from the field. She was the Big East's player of the year and, in a testimony to her all-around ability, was chosen as the league's defensive player of the year as well.
Penicheiro, the flashy point guard who helped Old Dominion to a runner-up finish in last year's NCAA tournament, was slowed early by an ankle injury, and her numbers are down slightly this year — 10.4 points and 7.3 assists per game.

Catchings was joined on the second team by Alabama's Dominique Canty, Florida's Murriel Page, Stanford's Kristin Folkl and Louisiana Tech's Alisa Burras. The third team had Roberts, Arizona's Adia Barnes, Illinois' Ashley Berggren, Maine's Cindy Blodgett and Stephen F. Austin's Katrina Price.

The hockey players could be omitted from the guest list for a White House visit by the entire Olympic team next month or could be denied commemorative rings and watches, Schultz said.
WASHINGTON — All players on the U.S. Olympic men's hockey team could be barred from future games unless those who trashed dorm rooms in Nagano, Japan, come forward soon, officials said yesterday.
U.S. hockey team in penalty box
He said the committee wanted to act quickly and only one option appeared severe enough to carry weight with the highly paid NHL players who made up the U.S. team at last month's Winter Games.
U. S. Olympic Committee executive director Dick Schultz said he and committee president Bill Hyb1 would discuss disciplinary options during a conference call with the panel's officers today.
He said he and Hybli would ask to investigate the matter and decide a punishment without going to the ruling executive committee, which is scheduled to meet next month in Portland, Ore.
The Associated Press
"There's no time frame, but it's something that we should try to bring to a conclusion in as short a time as possible," he said. "It shouldn't be another 30 to 60 days."
"The toughest thing we could do would be denial of participation,"
But with the kind of money these guys make, that really doesn't have much of an impact," Schultz said.
NHL
The U.S. team did not come close to placing in the top three so taking away its medal is not an option. Although a pre-tournament favorite for gold, the U.S. team won once and failed to come close to a bronze.
Such a ban could be extended to world championships and other international events.
Schultz said.
Schultz said he thought only two or three players from the 23-member squad were involved in the vandalism of three rooms at the Olympic Village dorm in the early morning of Feb. 18, hours after the U.S. team was eliminated by the Czech Republic.

Schultz said the committee did not want to penalize innocent people but was left with few choices under its Code of Conduct for
He refused to say which players he suspected of causing about $3.000 worth of damage.
Schultz said he would be interested in interviewing the hockey players himself, but logistics would make that difficult.
The NHL said last week that so far it had been unable to determine which players were responsible for the damage. Although the
NCAA hopes dashed
Missouri, K-State accept invitations to play in NIT
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Both Missouri and Kansas State once were hopeful of NCAA bids.
Neither will hesitate to take the NIT bids instead.
"Not in a thousand years would I not consider taking a bid," Kansas State coach Tom Asbury said yesterday during the weekly telephone news conference with Big 12 coaches.
Missouri coach Norm Stewart was more restrained.
"I think our guys are really looking forward to the games," said Stewart, whose team finished at 17-14 but is carrying the stigma of a 23-game road losing streak.
Stewart said that the team watched the selection last night and that he later informed it of the NIT bid.
One only can guess at the disappointment, but Stewart tried to put his best face forward.
"The field in the NIT is getting increasingly stronger," he said.
"The other thing is while it doesn't receive the attention of the tournament, if you're in it, you're still in the top 30 percent
of the ballclubs. We think that for our ballclub and some of the other ballclubs, this could be a good foundation for the guys who are returning and could be a good sendoff for our seniors."
The onus of the road losing streak was probably the key factor in keeping Missouri out of the NCAA. So the best news about the NIT bid is that Missouri will play at least the first game — against Alabama-Birmingham on tomorrow — at home.
"We've had good ballgames on the road and just haven't quite been able to get over the hump," Stewart said. "It's been close a couple of times, but we just couldn't do the little things to overcome some of the things that happened to us."
Kansas State was 15-6 and thinking NCAA when point guard Duane Davis suffered a severely sprained ankle and missed four games. Then Asbury held Manny Dies out of three games after Dies was arrested on charges related to alcohol.
The Wildcats finished 17-11.
Davis aggravated his injury in the Big 12 tournament, and Asbury said he was not sure how much Davis would play in the first-round game tomorrow at North Carolina State.
Asbury said it had not been decided if Dies would start the game. Dies played in the Wildcats semifinal loss to Kansas on Saturday in the Big 12 tournament.
Packers' Reggie White makes visit to Jerusalem
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM - Reggie White, visiting a site many Christians revere as the scene of Jesus' burial and resurrection, stood on a rock platform and delivered a half-hour sermon.
White, a preacher as well as the NFL's career sack leader who has been selected
GEORGIA
to a record 12 straight Pro Bowls, is traveling with a 310-member group of pilgrims.
White said that seeing firsthand the sites that Christians associate with Jesus' life, death and resurrection had been humbling.
The group's itinerary has included sites in Jerusalem's walled Old City, the West Bank town of Jericho, the River Jordan and the Sea of Galilee.
Yesterday, he visited the Garden Tomb — a site maintained by the Anglican Church and revered by a number of Protestant churches.
In his sermon, he spoke about the necessity of faith, concern for the poor and an
appeal against abortion.
"We have to take these young women into our homes, care for them and show them what family life is all about," White said, drawing amens and nods of approval from the pilgrims.
"We have to elect righteous men to office," he said, gripping a microphone as he faced the tombs carved out of rock, including a large one where many Protestants believe Jesus was buried after being crucified.
Afterward, White said his remarks were not aimed specifically at President Clinton.
When asked how long he would keep playing, he said, "Whatever God wants and wherever he leads me, that's where I'm going. It will not be Reggie's decision when I go."
He also said Jerusalem was not the violent place he imagined it might to be.
Over 10 touches to choose from!!!
"The people are a whole lot nicer than I thought. A lot of people didn't want to come here because of what they were seeing on TV and reading in the newspaper," White said. White said the United States had more trouble with violence than Jerusalem.

THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
Wanted: KU tickets Too many fans, no seats
(USPS 650-640)

Kansas men's basketball will jump into NCAA Tournament action Friday night when the Jayhawks challenge the Prairie View A&M Panthers in Oklahoma City.
At the Myriad Convention Center, where the tournament is being played, tickets have long been sold out. The University of Kansas Athletics Department telephone recording answers with the expected news that no tickets are available to the public. Fans who continue to scramble for tickets have two options: find a scalper or contact a ticket brokering company.
"We do have scalpers, but they get in trouble if they try to sell the tickets for higher than face value." Miller said.
Scalping may be legal in Kansas, but it is not legal in Oklahoma City, said Sonya Miller, a receptionist at the convention center.
Although scalping is illegal in Oklahoma City, it is legal in Norman, Okla., which is a 12-minute drive to the south.
Each $9 NCA A ticket is good for all three games, she said.
"We're inundated," said John Keele, owner of Tickets Unlimited, a ticket brokering company in Norman. "We have myself and four full-time salesmen in here today, and we can barely keep up. I expect we'll run out of tickets."
Mike Prusinski, media coordinator for the Midwest region, chuckled when he heard the going rates of scaled tournament tickets.
Keele said his company was selling tournament tickets for $175 and up, with "up" being as high $750 for center seats on the lower level.
"When you have a team like Kansas coming in and they could easily bring 17,000 people with them, it makes it hard." Prusinski said. "We also have a lot of Kansas fans in Oklahoma who are trying to get tickets. Between
"That's not bad for a $90 ticket," Prusinski said.
He said the ticket crunch hit hardest when schools from neighboring states, such as Kansas and Texas, participated in the tournament.
them and the attraction of Billy Tubbs coming back to Oklahoma with TCU, if we were ever worrying about a sellout before, we certainly won't have to now."
The limited seating in the convention center, which holds 13,500, led to the crunch in ticket availability. Prusinski said.
"We have the second-smallest arena of the first and second sites." he said.
The NCAA takes the first 4,000 seats, and participating schools are reserved 350 tickets for the rounds in which they play.
"There'a chance that Rhode Island and Florida State may turn some of their tickets in, but right now it's tough to get tickets." Prusinski said.
As for Keele's ticket broking business, he said he only purchased about 100 tournament tickets.
"You never know which teams will be playing." Keele said. "But it helps to have teams from nearby states participating."
Prusinski agreed.
"We couldn't have asked for a better draw in terms of selling tickets," Prusinski said.
Native Americans review Revue
Kansan staff writer

Kansan staff writer
By Sara Anderson
Members of the Native American Student Association attended Alpha Delta Pi's and Lambda Chi Alpha's Rock Chalk Revue rehearsal last night to express concerns about their skit.
Members of NASA met with revue executive advisory board members Kyle Evans, Derby sophomore, and Andrew Schauder, Green Bay, Wis., junior, after the rehearsal to discuss the skit in the production, "Don't Drink the Water." The skit is set in a jungle and has a tribal
theme. NASA members were invited to view the skit and meet with the revue staff to voice their opinions concerning the portrayal of indigenous peoples.
Cornell Peewardy, NASA representative, said that NASA members had apprehensions about some of the material presented in the program.
"NASA had the opportunity to review the play, and they have some concerns about the portrayal of indigenous peoples," he said.
Schauder said that the group was concerned about the exploitation of indigenous cultures.
cultural sensitivity in general — for example, the use of such items as headdresses, feathers and grass skirts," he said. "I appreciate the opportunity to see the skirt from a point of view different from my own."
"They were concerned about
Elyse Towey, president of NASA and Napa, Calif., senior, said that one of the group's members heard in his graduate anthropology class that the skit had native undertones. She said the student then contacted the chancellor and NASA members. Towey said the group was invited to attend the rehearsal on Monday, but the group got the message too late to attend. She said the invitation
was extended to last night.
Schauder said that the student talked to a KU administrator who then contacted the revue's adviser, Ann Eversole.
Towey said she felt the skit members were open to NASA's concerns.
"I felt that they were receptive," she said. "I felt that we educated the people putting on the show that weren't as well versed in the things we found offensive like native names. They didn't know any better."
Amber McGraw, Alpha Delta Pi director for the skit and a Marshall, Mo., junior, said she appreciated NASA voicing concerns.
"I'm glad I got to hear them, and I appreciate that they came with their comments to try and make a better show," she said.
Schauder said that Rock Chalk had not made a decision about whether to change the skit at this point because Eversole was out of town. He said that the revue advisory board would consult Eversole and that a decision would be made today.
Members of the Black Student Union also attended the meeting after receiving a call from Towey. Julius Williams, BSU advisor, said that BSU was there to show support for NASA because the skit dealt with indigenous people.
Office embezzlement uncovered by student working in Fraser Hall
Between Dec. 12 and March 4, $1,086.16 was stolen from the office of the Institute for Public Policy and Business Research in Room 607 of Fraser Hall.
Sgt. Chris Keary said that the investigation began March 3 when a student employee told police that additional hours were being added to several students' timesheets.
The KU Public Safety Office said that a University of Kansas employee was a suspect in the embezzlement.
He said that no arrests had been made and that case information was sent to the Douglas County District Attorney's Office to determine whether to issue a summons and press charges.
When the students received their paychecks, Keary said, they cashed them and gave the extra money back to their supervisor.
Keary said that a search warrant was issued March 4 to check the institute's records.
Kathryn Clark, representative for University Relations, said that the University was aware of the situation.
"This is something that we take very seriously," she said. "We're in the process of reviewing IPPBR procedures to determine what happened and what needs to be done to correct any procedural problem."

Film director, comic returns to Lawrence for screening

Michael Moore is back
After visiting the University of Kansas two years ago as a KU Lecture Series guest at the Lied Center, Moore, comedian and film director, will return to Lawrence tomorrow to promote his new movie, The Big One.
"He requested it himself to come back," said Anita Elliott, publicity and promotion manager for Guggenheim Agency, the company responsible for contacting Moore. "He was very interested in returning. He really enjoyed the last time he was there."

The free invitations are available at the Student Union Activities office in the Kansas Union and at the Theater and Film department office in Murphy Hall.
coordinator, said that Moore could not lecture on campus because there was no appropriate venue to accommodate the event.
"At SUA we have a 16 mm projector and the movie needs a 35 mm one," Calderon said. "The Lied Center has one, but Thursday night is Rock Chalk Revue opening night."
Those planning to attend the screening must have an invitational flyer. Although the Dickinson Plaza Theater holds 350 people, unlimited flyers are being distributed to the public by Miramax Films, Inc.
A special screening of The Big One will take place at 5 p.m. tomorrow at the Dickinson Theatres, 2339 Iowa. Moore will answer viewers' questions immediately after the screening.
Moore will speak for the American Librarian Association conference tomorrow afternoon in Kansas City, Kan. He will come to Lawrence for the special screening and will return to Kansas City in the evening for a benefit screening of The Big One.
It will be an intentionally overbooked screening, said Brian Dick, Miramax intern.
"We wanted to make sure that people will show up and we'll have a full house," Dick said.
Moore's Kansas City visit is part of a 30-city benefit tour to raise $500,000 for 70 anti censorship organizations. He will not be paid for the Dickinson theater visit, said Mark Brookstein, promotion assistant for the Guggenheim Agency.
Moore's movie is a follow-up to *Roger and Me*, his much-acclaimed 1989 documentary. In *The Big One*, Moore uses his humor to attack American corporations that make record-breaking profits but continue to lay off workers.
During the movie, Moore tracks down Fortune 500 companies and tries to convince them to reconsider their downsizing decisions. He even confronts Nike CEO Phil Knight.
Roger and Me , which was released in 1989, became the highest-grossing documentary of all time. During the movie, Moore attempts to convince General Motors CEO Roger B. Smith to visit Flint, Mich., Moore's hometown, and witness the effects of General Motors' plant shutdowns.
In *The Big One*, Moore found a different way to contribute to Flint. He offered grant applications for Flint area groups and students to share in the profits of *The Big One*.
He also was involved with "TV Nation", a sitcom in which he worked as host, writer, director and executive producer.
Other Moore movies are Canadian Bacon, Pets or Meat: The Return to Flint and Blood in the Face.

The Virginia Inn Motel and Beeper Depot both were robbed Saturday by suspects with similar descriptions.
On CAMPUS:
The third gunshot in eight days was reported in the area of Sixth and Mississippi streets Monday.
In the WORLD:
A new format and shorter acts await audiences of the 49th annual Rock Chalk Revue.

Two local establishments robbed by similar suspects
Armed robberies occurred at two Lawrence businesses Saturday, Lawrence police said.
The Virginia Inn Hotel, 2907 West Sixth St., and Beeper Depot, 2540 Iowa St., both were robbed by suspects with similar descriptions, said Sgt. George Wheeler.
The Virginia Inn Motel was robbed at 7:50 a.m. by a 5-foot-8 man wearing a dark sweatshirt and stocking cap, Wheeler said. This is the second time the motel has been robbed this year, he said.
The suspect entered the motel's lobby and asked the clerk, a 28-year-old Lawrence woman, for a room.
The suspect then drew a knife and demanded that the clerk give him the money in the register, he said.
"The subject jumped on the counter and took the money out himself," Wheeler said.
Wheeler said that police thought the suspect entered and fled the scene on foot. He left the motel with an undetermined amount of money, Wheeler said. No one was hurt in the robbery.
A Beeper Depot employee who was work ing when the store was robbed said the holdup occurred about 2 p.m.
Wheeler said that a man with the same description as the suspect in the motel robber entered the store on foot, displayed a knife and demanded money from the register.
No one was injured in the second robbery, and the suspect left the store on foot with an undetermined amount of money.
Wheeler said that he could not give details of the knives used in the holdups and that police had taken note of the similarities in the robberies.
"We don't know if they're related," he said, "but we're looking at it. It's kind of unusual to have two similar robberies in the same day."

Gunfire reported again in recent trouble spot
Another gunshot was reported Monday night in the vicinity of Sixth and Mississippi streets, bringing the total number of reports in that area to three in eight days. Lawrence police said.
Sgt. George Wheeler said police received a gunshot report at 11:25 p.m. from an area resident.
"Officers responded to the call, and the party said they heard a loud bang." Wheeler said. "They weren't exactly sure if it was a gun being discharged or not."
Police investigated the area and found no evidence of a gun being fired.
"Unless we can find an explanation for the noise, such as a transformer blowing out or a car backfiring, we classify that as a possible gunshot," Wheeler said.
The neighborhood has been the site of several reports of gunfire this month, Wheeler said. About 10 p.m. March 2, several gunshots were fired into Pinckney Elementary School, 810 W. Sixth St.
About 1 a.m. March 4, four gunshots were heard in the 500 block of Mississippi Street. Wheeler said.
Shots also were heard between 3:24 and 3:25 p.m. Sunday in the 400 block of North Street, he said.
"A resident said he heard two consecutive shots, then a third a moment later," Wheeler said. "He said the shots came from the northwest corner of the block."
Officers inspected the area, and found no evidence of gunfire. It was the first report recently filed in that area, Wheeler said.

Rock Chalk acts gearing up for newly formatted show
The 49th annual production of Rock Chalk Reve is set to open tomorrow night.
This year the revue will use a shorter format, strictly enforcing 23-minute time limit and in-between acts. The shows in the past had time limits, but they weren't enforced and the shows went long, said John Laing. Rock Chalk promotions coordinator.
Laing said that the shows had done a good job following the new format and that some had even made fun of time limit, mentioning it in their acts.
Laing expects this year's revue to last about two and a half hours.
Instead of the in-between acts, Laing said that a local female a capella group, Femme, will sing for about 15 to 30 minutes before the shows open at 7 p.m.
Tickets for the Saturday show are sold out, and there are only 100 left for Friday. Thursday's show probably will not sell out, but 1,100 tickets already had been sold, Laing said.
Tickets can be purchased in the fourth floor of the Kansas Union or reserved by calling 864-4033. Any remaining tickets will be sold at the door.
Tickets cost $10 for the Thursday show and $12 for Friday.
The amount of money raised has not been announced yet, but Laing said that the reue had been doing extremely well.

GTE Corp. and Sprint Corp., which have raised concerns about the merger, confirmed yesterday that they had received civil subpoenas from the department. Both companies provide long-distance service and operate high-capacity networks that carry Internet and other data traffic known as the Internet backbone business.
WASHINGTON — Federal regulators are taking a hard look at whether WorldCom's proposed takeover of MCI Communications would dampen competition and drive up prices of Internet and long distance services.
The $37 billion merger, the biggest in U.S. history, is being reviewed by the Department of Justice, which is collecting detailed information from the companies and their rivals.
Attorneys for GTE and Sprint said the department was seeking detailed information about the proposed merger's impact on competition and pricing in Internet and long-distance businesses. The agency currently is focusing more on Internet competition and pricing issues, attorneys said.
WorldCom's MCI merger causes pricing concerns
WorldCom and MCI have rejected their rivals' allegations that the merger would lead to higher pricing in Internet and long-distance businesses, said MCI spokesman Frank Walter.
Soldiers' shootings add to tensions in Palestine
TARKOUMIAH, West Bank — Israeli soldiers opened fire yesterday on a van carrying Palestinian workers at a West Bank roadblock, killing three passengers and wounding at least four others.
The Israeli army arrested two soldiers who fired at the van and began an investigation into the incident, which Palestinian Cabinet Secretary Ahmed Abdel Rahman called a new Israeli massacre.
An Israeli soldier was injured after what the army said was an attempt by the van to run the roadblock. However, one Palestinian passenger said the soldiers opened fire after the van accelerated to keep another car from cutting in line at the roadblock.
As news of the incident spread, angry protests erupted in the nearby town of Hebron, where dozens of Palestinians threw stones and firebombs at Israeli soldiers. Hebron, which is home to 130,000 Palestinians and 450 Jewish settlers, is one of the most volatile spots in the West Bank.
Committees to hear plan for Union fix
By Melissa Ngo and Marc Sheforgen

The finance committee will hear a plan to renovate the Kansas Union using student fees when Student Senate committees meet at 6 p.m. today in the Kansas Union.
The plan, sponsored by the University Memorial Corporation, designates a $12 per semester addition to the student union fee to build a connection between the Union and a new parking garage to be located north of the building. The 1,000-space garage would be financed by the parking department.
Money also would be used to increase office space for student organizations.
The student union fee of $41 per semester would not increase under the new plan because $18.50 of the current fee used to pay for 1992 union renovations expires after this semester.
Art Yudelson, non-traditional senator, heard the proposal in a finance subcommittee yesterday and said he felt that more space was needed for student organizations.
"The main thing we looked at was how it would benefit students," Yudelson said.
If the plan goes into effect, the renovation fee would be paid for 12 years.
Two committees will decide whether to support the University's equal opportunity hiring practices.
Pat Matzumdar, graduate senator, is a sponsor of a petition to increase diversity on campus. The petition will go before the University Affairs and Student Rights committees tonight.
"Students care about these things," Mazudar said. "This petition will show that we are behind increasing diversity at the University by increasing minority faculty."
By passing the petition through committees, Senate would show its official support of Chancellor Robert Hemenway's goal to increase the number of minority faculty to 200 by the year 2000. And it would offer financial assistance to the Equal Opportunity Office and the Office of Minority Affairs with minority faculty recruitment.
Senate also would instruct the Student Legislative Awareness Board to lobby against state Rep. Anthony Powell or any other legislator who works to end affirmative action in state hiring.
Powell, R-Wichita, has proposed a bill that would prohibit public employers from using race or gender in hiring and employment practices.
Matt Dunbar, off-campus senator and petition sponsor, said he hoped Senate would not stop discussing campus diversity.

Student plays win audience applause
Shows competed for opportunity at full production
By Emily C. Forsyth eforsyth@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Nick Woods emerged as the winner of English Alternative Theatre's version of the final four competition.
Woods, Prairie Village senior, was one of four students whose plays were selected for staged readings in EAT's sixth annual competition Monday in Smith Hall.
An audience of about 50 selected Woods' play, "Up Comes Society," for first place. Ed White, Hickory Hills, ill., senior won second place with his play, "The Road to Java."
"Execution Day," by Bob Determan, Bonner Springs senior, and "Charlotte's Special day," by Dar
ren Weimar, Hays senior, were also in the competition.
All of the one-act plays could be selected for full production by EAT next year.
Woods said that he was grateful to see his play read twice during the three-day competition and that he enjoyed receiving feedback from the audience.
"I've worked so long and so hard on it." Woods said. "It's exciting to finally see it. It's the actual real deal."
Paul Lim, director of EAT, said that it was essential for playwrights to see their work in staged readings.
"Drama requires that the students have actors saying their words and moving around, handling props," Lim said. "Until the budding playwright gets to hear the words being said and to see the action that's been scripted, it's hard for them to learn and grow as playwrights."
The four plays were selected from 19 that were written last fall in Lim's beginning playwriting class.
English 354. Lim said there were eight or nine strong scripts.
"The four that I eventually picked were by no means the only good ones that came out of that class." Lim said. "I thought these were the four that could be well served by the limited means that EAT has. Some of the other good scripts required more by way of production in order to pull it off."
Ken Willard, Lawrence resident, played a prison guard in "Up Comes Society." He said that the staged readings were a good opportunity for audience members to get involved in theater.
"It's real hands-on for everybody."
Willard said. "So often you have to just sit there and take it. Here, you can dish it out if you want."
The audience dished out responses in the form of comment cards, which asked for input on the plots, character development and impact of the message.
Charli Engelhorn, Ames, Iowa junior, said that she would like to

"I think that both playwrights are really talented," Engelhorn said. "I
really liked the story development of both plays. It was hard to choose one."

Guide dogs are cute and cuddly, but don't pet them while 'on duty'
The University of Kansas is a great place to live if you're a dog. Food is plentiful, companionship is offered from almost all passersby, and one cute look can woo your owner away from studying and into a potentially endless game of Frisbee.
But some dogs, despite their outwardly cute appearance, are on campus to do a job. Their job is to ensure that their blind owners get from one campus location to another safely.
location to mount a Guide dog and service animals, when in their harnesses, are trained to focus only on the job at hand. A guide dog waiting at a corner may seem as if it is just waiting to cross the street. But actually, the dog is acutely aware of passing buses, motorists, bicycles, pedestrians and other potential dangers. Approaching a guide dog with a "Hiya boy," may seem like a friendly thing to do. But it is
a distraction. The dog won't appreciate it and neither will the owner.
Training a guide dog takes about two years, including an intense month with the owner and trainer. But despite all the training, the dogs—just like humans—can be distracted. And this distraction could be deadly for a blind person.
per son.
Guide dogs are trained in 'intelligent disobedience.' When the dog-companion team approaches a crosswalk, for example, the dog does not make the decision to cross. The owner, who is listening to passing traffic, gives the 'forward' command when he or she thinks it is safe to cross. If the dog agrees, it will proceed across the street. If it sees an oncoming car or bicyclist, then it will not obey the command. This is a vital function that should not be interrupted.
But it is not only on street corners that
the dog should not be interfered with, it is at all times it is wearing a harness and guiding its owner. Even if the pair is just walking down Jayhawk Boulevard, the dog is making sure that there are no noverhanging objects that its owner will hit, no steps, and that there is enough room for the pair to pass through.
When guide dogs are at home with their owners and the harness is taken off, the dog undergoes a complete personality change and behaves like a normal pet dog. This down time is signified by the removal of the harness. Then and only then should an outsider ever touch or otherwise distract a guide dog.
Blind students, and their dogs, have to work hard to do the things that many students take for granted, like walking down the street or crossing at a crosswalk. Students shouldn't make their day any more difficult.

Office hours not time to campaign
Two of this year's candidates for Student Senate executive positions hold executive positions now. If either candidate is missing office hours or shirting the responsibilities of their current job, then students should issue them an ultimatum: Fulfill your responsibility or quit the job to concentrate on campaigning.
Emily Heath, Delta Force student body presidential candidate, is a codirector for the Center Community Outreach, a job that requires 20 office hours each week. She is paid by the state out of what is technically student money to coordinate volunteer efforts at the University.
Scott Kaiser, Campus Cause candidate for student body vice president, is the coordinator of KU on Wheels, the
Candidates for Student Senate who hold Senate jobs now shouldn't campaign on the clock
campus bus system. He also is paid by the state and required to serve 20 office hours.
There have been allegations from both sides that the other is not keeping his or her office hours. Heath has attended Delta Force Brown Bag lunches during her office hours, and Kaiser has also been absent from his office when he should have been there.
We have expounded on this before and we'll do it again: Neglecting your present responsibilities to campaign for a future position is wrong. Student
Senate has entrusted these two students to do a job. If Heath or Kaiser is eluding their responsibility, then that proves they not only can't perform that job, but also that they haven't earned another position with more responsibility. Like our mothers used to tell us, you have to make your bed before you can go outside and play.
Heath and Kaiser have performed well in their respective positions. The Center for Community Outreach does nothing but good, and KU on Wheels is one of the best student-run transportation systems in the country. Neither candidate should mar the job they have done so well by ending on a bad note.
They should not campaign on the state's nickel, just do their jobs. Students deserve no less.

A revised Book of Job for the Festival of March
Perspective
Chapter 1
In the land of Stephenson, east of Allen, there was a blameless and unright man named Job. Job was prosperous,
T
---
with a G.P.A. over 3.5. His study life was tough, but still with enough time to enjoy the finer things in life, like for example, X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter. He had a good and pious roommate, who although was better than him in every way, was still an OK guy. His luck with the women, while not great, had at least upgraded to the point at which he could view women as friends, rather than various restraining orders to be maintained.
Bartkoski opinion@kansan.com
In all, Job had it good. He was faithful to Roy and the University of Kansas. The Festival of March was coming upon him, and he was preparing with kazooes and dancing and the fervent hope that very little profanity would be directed toward the referees during the festival.
One day, when the sons of Roy came to present themselves before Roy, The Professor also came among them. And Roy said unto him, "Have you noticed my servant Job, who cheers with great fervor during the games, and avoids the evil of listening to Dick Vitale?" And the Professor said, "It is for nothing that Job is righteous. Does he not have free time? Has he not slept well for many nights? If your protection were removed he would curse The University of Kansas and all it stands for." And in response Roy said unto The Professor, "His affairs are now your concern, you may do unto him as you will but spare his life."
Chapter 2
Chapter 2
And so the next day, Job, who was foolishly taking 18 hours in a vain attempt to graduate in four years, was given arduous projects in every single one of his classes. And the midterms rained down from heaven. Suddenly he had four and five and six papers due on the same day. And he started screwing up during his games of X-wing vs. TIE Fighter. But Job continued in his quiet celebration of the March Festival and did not cry out.
Chapter 3
Chapter 18
Once again the sons of Roy came to present themselves before Roy, and once again The Professor came among them. Roy said unto the Professor. "See how my servant Job remains righteous even though he has now faced adversity." And the Professor said, "But see how he is still gaining enough sleep to resist these problems. And perhaps he would not be so righteous if we began returning his papers to him with the grades he has actually earned. And finally, have you noticed how he's almost begun to accept that females are revulsed if he presents himself as a somewhat sexual object. If we start forcing him to confront these issues, then he would cry out
Chapter 4
So the Professor began returning Job's papers, and Job could hear his G.P.A. slip. Furthermore, the Professor placed him in such a position that he had three papers and two exams due during the course of three days, forcing him to forego the sleep he so cherished. Finally, it dawned on Job that the ladies weren't exactly laughing with him, but Job still did not curse the University, and he continued his celebration of the March Festival.
against the University of Kansas and all it stands for!" And Roy again said "He is in your power; only spare his life."
Job had three associates that he confided in: Peter ben Foldsive, Rush ben Andjerrys, and George ben Kenobi. They spoke to Job in such words:
You who once was the favored of Roy
Art thou smoking the much better crack than the previous crack that could be found.
Art thou out of thy gourd,
Are not his musings that of an ass?
Are not man's days like a mate.
Are not his musings that of an as.
And Job replied by saying:
Are not his missings that of us?
He toils and flunks an toils and flunks
One who is not fit to clean Raef LaFrentz's look strap.
He toils and flunks and toils and flunks
And nothing can improve his lot.
(Especially if he is grossly incompetent like me).
And Job's friends left him, especially since the Professor's latest trial on Job was a B.O. problem that wouldn't quit.
And yet Job would not cry out, and continued to celebrate the March Festival.
And then Roy addressed Job out of the TV and said:
I question you,
Pleasing to the admissions desk,
The University knew you in your high school days.
To the point of making little cash register noises.
It has molded six hundred and five thousand students before you,
Some with journalism degrees that have worth
Do you question the callous and cruel ways,
With which you are treated
Only in the paper they are printed on.
So look you
Or have we destroyed your ability to think for yourself
And Job replied, "huh?"
Like those thousands before you.
And Roy saw that Job's piousness was true, and Job went on to somehow salvage that semester and graduated in four years, getting a cushy job worth 40 grand a year with nice benefits. And to mark his covenant with Job, Roy put a new banner in the Firmament of Allen that says "National Champions 1998."
And Roy saw it was good

University negligent during bad weather
A blanket of ice and snow fell on Lawrence on March 8. This mixture of melting snow and ice formed a thin sheet of ice during the night as temperatures fell below zero. On March 9, the University of Kansas held classes as usual despite the region's school closings. These closings included the Lawrence public schools, the Kansas City-area schools and Topeka schools. In addition, all of the area's colleges were closed because of this inclement weather. But the Univer-
sity, being a hero to all who love to slip, slide, fall and even crash on the ice, decided to hold classes. Not to mention the fact that the wind chill was up to 25 degrees below zero at times.
Students are expected to show up for class everyday, unless accompanied with a
The decision of the University created many problems. However excusable as some of them are, there is one that is not: The fact that the University failed to salt the steps and sidewalks, (such as those between Wescoe and Haworth halls and the south Naismith lot sidewalk), is inexcusable.
sanctioned University excuse.
Is the University's negligence in not salting or scraping the snow and ice off of the sidewalks an excuse for someone being irresponsible and not fulfilling their duty? Should the University be held liable for the accidents, wrecks, falls, and injuries sustained by students trying to get to class?
It must be the students' decision to attend class during inclement weather, since we give our money to the school, right?
Maybe not.

Midterm crunch tests GTAs
Time management crucial to balance double workload
By Susie Gura
sguru@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Late nights and midterm stress are extra rough on graduate teaching assistants who have a double workload of classes as both students and teachers.
Returning classwork, grading,
reviewing material and dealing
with stressed students are some
of the challenges GTAs face during midterms. Some GTAs believe the best way to handle the extra workload in the middle of the semester is time management.
"You have to allot a certain amount of time to each," said David Dolson, GTA in history.
Midtermss fall at the same time for undergraduate and graduate students, and sometimes causes a conflict.
"Usually I don't have major conflicts, but this semester they are holding a midterm the same week that I have master's exams," Dolson said.
Some students have noticed their GTAs are not bearing the brunt of both workloads as well as
“It's not our fault that they get in over their heads and then expect us to have our stuff done when they haven't even given things back,” said Katie Schwartzburg, Lawrence junior. GTAs feel the pressure of grading midterms in a timely manner.
students would like.
"I think that we are going to do it over the weekend so we have a three-day period," said Andy Kappen, GTA in mathematics. "We have a big grading group system, so it's not too bad."
Heather Byers, Overland Park junior, said she thought GTAs were trying to cover midterm material in a short time.
"They definitely seem to be in a hurry," she said.
Some students understand the stress of an extra workload for a GTA but would like to have class not affected by midterms.
Other students believe that their GTAs are carrying on as usual during this hectic time.
"I haven't really noticed any difference. I have a GTA in math, and she is really good about stuff," said Matt Gonzales, Lansing freshman.
Although midterms will end soon, GTAs still have to grade them.
"I'm definitely feeling the crunch," Kappen said.
Group honors Native-American student
By Sara Anderson
sanderson@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The Kansas Association for Native American Education presented its sixth Native American Student of the Year award to a University of Kansas student March 3.
Elyse Towey, Napa, Calif, senior, won the 1998 statewide award, which focuses on Native-American students who display leadership qualities in academic settings. All Native-American students in the state of Kansas were eligible to
receive the award.
"I was completely surprised by the award," Towey said. "It made me feel really good and makes it all worth it."
Cornell Peewardy, assistant professor of education, accepted the award for Towey at the association's annual conference. Towey was unable to accept the award because she had class.
Tom Fee, association chairperson and guidance counselor at the Kickapoo Nations School, said that the association had received three or four nominations and that
Towey was deserving of the award.
"She is an outstanding winner and a role model to others," he said. "We want to recognize her achievements and want to give an affirmation of her accomplishments."
Fee said that when students saw their peers succeed, they realized they had the potential to succeed as well.
Agreeing with Fee, Towey said, "it reinforces my goals to receive my degree and work with the Native-American community," she said.
The association consists of
Native-American and non-Native American educators throughout Kansas who advocate Native American education. Nominations must come from association members.
Peewardy nominated Towey for the award.
the award.
"She is president of the Native American Student Association, part of the McNair scholars program and the Gateway Scholars program," he said. "When I saw someone of her caliber, I didn't hesitate to nominate her for the award."

In a report submitted by the service accessibility committee, commissioners heard recommendations to enhance the quality of services offered to Lawrence residents and university students.
Ken Collier, committee member, presented the report. The committee attempted to collect a range of opinions in developing its recommendations, he said.
The committee's report called for modifications in six areas of service: accessibility, attitude, reception, planning and development, leadership and feedback.

City employees may need to work on their people skills, the Lawrence City Commission learned at last night's meeting.
Committee report indicates problems of local government
City to 'tune up' public relations
"We were trying to get some idea of how well the city is doing
Collier said that the committee heard many complaints that city employees did not return phone calls and voice mail messages promptly. Other comments recommended that the city's employees adopt a more service-friendly attitude, he said.
its functions," Collier said. "What we found is that we are a city government in need of a tune-up."
"We need to bring the city closer to its citizens," Collier said. "We want the citizens to be able to get in touch with the government, find the right person they need to talk to and then be kept updated on the progress."
One solution developed by the committee called for a new reception area on the first floor of city hall, staffed by a person familiar with the building.

"We found that people got a cool reception and an inefficient reception when they came here." Collier said.

already are being moved on, Wild- gen said.
"We're already working on the first-floor reception area, which is costing about $22,000, and the voice-mail and software improvements," he said.
"There was a broad base there, and we got a lot of concepts under discussion," Moody said. "We did hear a number of issues regarding slow or inappropriate response (to complaints). We also did hear some good responses, that we were doing some good things. I agree that all we need is a tune-up."
Wilden said that he did not know how much money had been budgeted by the city to carry out the committee's recommendations.
Bob Moody, city commissioner, served on the committee and said that the work had been an educational experience.
The committee was developed by the commission following a goal-setting session in May 1997. A half-dozen members, including Moody and fellow commissioner Erv Hodges, serve on its board, Wildgen said.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
- improve the voice mail system to ensure that adequate capacity exists to handle the current and future volume of calls
- update pamphlets for the Planning, Building Inspection and Fire Marshal Departments
- establish a policy that all calls will be returned in one business day
- develop a system of follow-up to ensure that the public is advised of action taken on calls or requests
- develop a training program within the city departments to ensure that all new and existing employees are trained in the methods and procedure to follow in responding to citizen requests and complaints
- develop a computer data base that would provide all offices and the reception area access to the correct person
install a drop box with questionnaires for citizens to submit ideas, requests and comments to city staff

Two'Hawks named All-Americans
Pierce, LaFrentz not only teammates picked for first team
By Tommy Gallagher
igallgher@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
Kansas forwards Paul Pierce and Raef LaFrentz were named first team All-Americans yesterday, but they were just one set of teammates that made the team.
Arizona guards Mike Bibby and Miles Simon also earned spots on the first team, as did North Carolina forward Antawn Jamison, who was voted to the team on all but one of the 70 ballots.
Kansas coach Roy Williams told The Associated Press yesterday that he thought both players deserved the recognition.

LaFrentz is the only returning All-American from last season, and he became the third repeat selection of the 1990s. Wake Forest's Tim Duncan and Louisiana State's Shaquille O'Neal were the other repeat members to the first team.
"I am ecstatic that both Raef and Paul are receiving this great honor," Williams said. "They are both having fantastic seasons and, needless to say, that have been instrumental in our great record."
LaFrentz became the first Jayhawk in 27 seasons to average double figures in points (19.7) and rebounds (11.2).
he is the No. 2 scorer in Kansas history and trails Danny Manning for the school's career rebounding record by only 41 despite missing nine games this season because of a broken right hand.
Pierce provided the team with a consistent scorer and go-to guy in LaFrentz's absence, averaging 20.3 points and 6.8 rebounds this season.
He shoots 51 percent from the floor and has scored in double figures in 49 consecutive games.
Pierce earned Most Outstanding Player honors at the Big 12 Tournament last weekend and has led the team in scoring in eight of the last nine postseason games, dating back to last season.
Bibby averaged 17.2 points, 5.9 assists and 2.4 steals for the Wildcats during the regular season, and he led them with 67 three-point shots.
Simon averaged 17.3 points this season, and he joined Damon Stoudamire and Sean Elliott as the only Arizona players to total 1,500 points and 400 assists in a career.
Arizona coach Lute Olson told The Associated Press yesterday that his players' individual recognition was a tribute to his entire basketball program as much as to the players themselves.
"I am very pleased for three of our guys and what they've accomplished, not only this season but their entire careers." Olson said. "These honors are a reflection of their individual play and a reflection on our program as a whole."
Jamison was the first Tar Heel to be named ACC player of the year since Michael Jordan in 1984. He shot 61 percent from the floor and averaged 22.9 points and 10.2 rebounds for the Tar Heels, who jumped back to No. 1 in the final Associated Press poll before the NCAA Tournament.
North Carolina coach Bill Guthridge told The Associated Press yesterday that Jamison always had a team-first mentality.
"I am ecstatic that both Raef and Paul are receiving this great honor. They are both having fantastic seasons and, needless to say, that have been instrumental in our great record."

Kansas men's head basketball coach
"He has worked hard to improve his skills and used his talents within the framework of helping our team win basketball games," Guthridge said. "He has always put team goals ahead of the individual accomplishments."

Field of snow may postpone field of dreams
By John Blakely Wilson
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas baseball was scheduled to play two games at Missouri this week, but Sunday's snowy tempest killed any chance of outdoor baseball in the Midwest for a few days.
Baseball
Kansas is scheduled to play three games this weekend at Nebraska, but Coach Bobby Randall said options were being explored.
"They're still really snowed in up there." Randall said. "We have the option of moving the series down here, but I'm not sure what their coach wants to do."
Randall said a decision would be made today regarding weekend plans.
The snow forced practice back inside this week, and Randall said he worried about contiabout continued improvement in the indoor environment.
"We're lucky to have a great facility like Anschutz, but there's a different timing and rhythm involved in playing indoor and outdoors," Randall said. "You can't set up full-scale game situations without an outfield, which hurts our flow of play."
Randall said he had seen steady improvement throughout the squad, most notably in the pitching staff.
"Les Walrond and Chris Williams have been most consistent throughout the season," Randall said. "But guys like Pete Smart, Rusty Philbrick and Eric Bettis have really shown they can throw the hall. It makes our staff so much deeper."
Randall continues to praise the play of freshman shortstop John Nelson, who has taken the place of last season's Big 12 Conference batting champion Joe DeMarco.
"Yea, John's only hitting. 422 now, and Joe hit. 428 last year." Randall joked. "Seriously, this kid can hit and play some great defense too."
his first season in Lawrence. He is second on the team in batting averages and has committed just two errors all season as the starting stopup.
"The older guys are always encouraging and teaching me, and I just try to bring those things to the field," Nelson said. "I love the competition of playing at the Division I level."
Nelson was injured during his final two seasons at Denton (Texas) High School, but he has found health and success in
Randall said this midweek stretch indoors without games would offer rest time in the middle of their 56-game schedule.
"This week can be great as an academic break," Randall said. "During the season, these kids are on the road away from classes. This time can be beneficial because they can concentrate on school."
Women's tennis ranked No.17; men drop to No.50

For the first time in two years, the Kansas women's tennis team cracked the top 20 of the Rolex Collegiate Tennis Rankings.
The Jayhawks jumped 10 spots from No. 27 to No. 17 after beating two top-20 teams. They upset No. 11 William & Marv on Sunday.
The-women are 8-2 this season with matches against seven ranked opponents. Their two losses were to top-10 teams.
Senior Christie Sim dropped from No. 25 to No. 28. Freshman Christine Sues fell 20 spots to No. 96.

became the third Jayhawk to be ranked when she received a No. 25 ranking.
However, after a rough start, the men have won three of their last four matches.
Senior Enrique Abaroa moved up two spots to No. 34 despite not playing the last two weeks because of a back injury.
The men's team has struggled this season with injuries and has a 3-6 record.
Since the last rankings, Abaroa upset Kentucky's Cedric Kauffmann, the nation's No. 6 player.
Enrique back, we're going to start rising toward the top again," Kansas men's coach Mark Riley said.
Abaroa is ranked as a member of two doubles teams. He and junior Luis Uribe first were ranked after beating Georgia's Steven Baldas and John Roddick, who are ranked No. 7.
Abaroa and senior Xavier Avila fell seven spots to No. 32.

"This game wasn't useful to us. This was just a basketball game." LaBrentz said. "We want to reach the Final Four and become national champions. I want to play and help us get there."
LaFrentz slammed his shoulder into the goal post while scrambling for a loose ball against Oklahoma on Sunday. Moments later, he dove for a steal and absorbed a harsh landing.
Williams said he took LaFrentz out of the game at the next timeout, but the player said, "Coach, I'm fine." LaFrentz returned at the next whistle and later said that he needed to play every game.

The weekend will give the Jayhawks time to rest after playing in four consecutive road tournaments.
The Jayhawks (1 1-11) lost three of four games in Fresno, Calif., last weekend to tie for sixth place at the Bulldon twins.
After the short break, Kansas leaves for an eight-day road trip to California during spring break. The Capital Classic tournament in Sacramento, Calif., begins March 19, putting Kansas against Hawaii, California and Arkansas.
The Joyhawks will leave Sacramento and finish the nonconference schedule at Pacific and Stanford before returning to prepare for their home opener on March 28.

Murray State gets ranking excited for the Big Dance
The Associated Press
MURRAY, Ky. — Reaching the NCAA tournament was the ultimate goal for Murray State this season, but the Racers reached another this week by entering the AP rankings for the first time in 27 years.
Murray State (29-3), making its eighth NCAA tourney appearance, claimed the last spot in the Top 25. It marks the first time since 1971, when the Racers were ranked No. 17.
"It's a really exciting thing," said Murray State coach Mark Gottfried yesterday. "We set a goal when we came here to try to get Murray State into the top 25, and we've made it now."
Murray State faces Rhode Island (22-9) in the first round of the NCAA Midwest at Myriad Center in Oklahoma City.
M
"The ranking is something for our players and coaches to be proud of," Gottfried said. "It will help the Ohio Valley Conference and
our program for recruiting. It's a win-win situation all around."
The Racers are seeded No. 9 in the tournament, their highest ever seed, and carry a 12-game winning streak. They rank eighth nationally in field-goal percentage (49.6) and seventh in scoring (87.3).
Guard De'Teri Mayes, a 6-foot-3 senior, received honorable mention All-America honors. As the Ohio Valley Conference player of the year, he led the league in scoring with 21.7 points a game and was second in three-point
shooting percentage (43.3) during the regular season.
"I'm really excited for him," Gottfried said. "He deserves those kinds of awards."
This is Murray State's third NCAA appearance in the past four years. Last year, the Racers battled Duke down to the final horn before losing 71-68. In 1995, they lost to North Carolina by 10 points.
The odds may be more in Murray State's favor this time against No. 8 Rhode Island.
“你aren't really giving up much on seeding.” Gottfried said. “The only bad thing is the winner has to play No. 1.”
Kansas, the top-seeded team in the Midwest, plays Prairie View A & M in the first round. A Kansas win would match the Jayhawks against the Murray State-Rhode Island winner on Sunday.
UConn scorer still has record
Magazine uncovers error that erodes Sales' career points
The Associated Press
simple as mathematical pi
HARTFORD, Conn. — Trying to figure out whether Nykesha Sales is Connecticut's top scorer is becoming about as
The premiere issue of ESPN The Magazine will report in its debut edition today that
the staged basket that put Sales in the record books may have been for naught because she was wrongly credited for two points in an earlier game at Seton Hall.
However, Seton Hall — which did not find out about the possible scoring discrepancy until yesterday — said it would stand by the box score it kept for its Jan. 22 game against UConn that gave Sales 25 points.
"That's what our stat crew put down, and that's what we're standing by," said Maria Wozniak, Seton Hall athletic department representative.
So that means that as far as the Pirates, the Huskies and the NCAA are concerned, the latest equation presented by The Magazine adds up to onl more headaches.
It appears Sales will keep the already controversial school scoring record of 2,178 points — until another player breaks it.
"This is so unbelievable how one collegiate career record is taking on this life of its own," said Jim Wright, NCAA director of statistics. "I can't believe it."
The Magazine, acting on a tip,
reviewed a film of the UConn-
Seton Hall and found that a
layup made by Kelly Hunt was
put on the books incorrectly as
a basket for Sales.
It would have been a harmless oversight, the story goes on to say, had Sales not ruptured her Achilles tendon in the next-to-last game of the regular season, two points shy of the record, setting the stage for the infamous gift shot.
Sales, hobbled by her careerend injury, took an uncontested layup after the tap in the Villanova-UConn game, eclipsing Kerry Bascom's scoring record and sparking a national debate about the integrity of women's basketball.
Reporter Steve Wulf, who is also executive editor of The Magazine, questions in his story what will happen with the record now that the discrepancy has been uncovered.
The Magazine concludes that Sales was actually four points shy of the record when she took that shot, and therefore the well-meaning gesture and the subsequent furor were "for naught."
But the question appeared to be moot by yesterday, a day before the story hit the newsstands. That is because ESPN
"This is so unbelievable how one collegiate career record is taking on this life of it own."
Jim Wright Director of statistics for theNCAA
News, which aired the story in the afternoon to promote the magazine's report, called Seton Hall, UConn and the NCAA for follow-up reaction.
Seton Hall, which had not been called before the article was written, said it would not change its statistics. As the sponsor of the game, the university has the final say, unless there is a dispute with the opponent, the NCAA said.
"It's up to Seton Hall." Wright said. "It not even a case where we would be involved in, especially since it's a school record."
Wright said there was only one instance he could recall in his 23 years at the NCAA where the governing body of college athletics got involved, and that was a Division III rushing record. He said the organization would have to start a whole new unit if it started dealing with every statistical debate.
And Wright, as well as both schools — and even Wulf — note that official scorers are not infallible and that it is likely that Sales may not have been credited for points that she scored in her 137 games.
"From a statistical standpoint, this is not a big deal, it happens all the time," Wright said.
Tigers glad for chance to pursue postseason in NIT championships
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Even though they aren't in the Big Dance, the Missouri Tigers have a chance to make up for the performance that sent them home from the Big 12
M
ment last weekend.
T he
Tigers (17-1)
(14) will play
Alabama-
Birmingham
(20-11)
in the first round of the National Invitation Tournament at 7 tonight in the Hearnes Center.
This is the second time in three years that Missouri has played in the NIT, and the third consecutive year the Tigers have been left out of the NCAA Tournament. Still, the Tigers are glad to be playarkansas (23-8) vs. Nebraska (20-11)
30 minutes before previous game
UAB BLAZERS
Thames said. "They probably could have overlooked us, but we're in the postseason. It gives us a second chance.
"We're not looking past UAB, but hopefully we can get off to New York," said Thames, referring to the site of the NIT championships. "It would be just like playing in the NCAA Tournament, if we do make it to New York."
Missouri coach Norm Stewart likes the chances the NIT gives his team.
"This gives the seniors a chance to go out with a bang, and gives the young guys a feel for postseason play," Stewart said.
Alabama-Birmingham will be a good first test for the Tigers. The Blazers finished the season by winning six of their last eight games. The two losses were to Cincinnati.
The Blazers lost 100-85 in the semifinals of the Conference USA Tournament to the Bearcats. But Alabama-Birmingham defeated Saint Louis 76-74 in the quarterfinals.
"The thing that jumps out at you about them is they had a good win streak at the end," Stewart said. "We were playing equally as well at the end; we just dropped some ballgames on the road."
Missouri lost 58-53 Friday night to Oklahoma, and the Tigers shot a horrendous 30.4 percent from the field and 3-of-19 from three-point range. Stewart held out hope that the Tigers could still sneak into the NCAA Tournament's field of 64. But the Big 12 sent just four teams, including Nebraska, which received a No. 11 seed.
Stewart, looking for the silver lining, pointed out the strength of the NIT teams.
"The field in the NIT is increasingly stronger," Stewart said. "Not to take away from those who won their conference tournaments and are in, even though they don't play in a stronger conference, but our ballclub, and some ballclubs in the NIT, had the strength to be in there. It's just not selected on that basis."
Now the Tigers come back to the Hearnes Center, where they lost just one game this year — on Dec. 2 to Coppin State.
"At a neutral site, you've got a mixed crowd," Thames said. "At home, you've got your crowd."
For the Alabama-Birmingham game, Stewart hopes the Tigers will be able to draw a better crowd than in the past, given more favorable conditions.
"In the past, those games have usually been during spring break," Stewart said. "With spring break over, I hope our student body will come out and give us support like they usually do."
The Tigers could see another home game if they beat the Blazers.
"If you draw well, the tendency is to let that team play at home." Stewart said.
The Tigers will be without sophomore forward Jeff Hafer, who injured his left knee during practice yesterday. A teammate landed on Hafer's leg during a rebound. Hafer, who averages 5.8 points and 3.4 rebounds, will be reevaluated if the Tigers advance to the second round.
The winner of the Tigers Blazers game will play the winner of the Colorado State Minnesota game, which also is scheduled for Wednesday night. The site of the second round game will be determined later.

Dodger pitched for success
Park ready to begin his second season starting on mound
The Associated Press
VERO BEACH, Fla. — Chan Ho Park was a lonely figure as he ran along the outskirts of Dodgertown at 8:45 in the morning.
When approached for an interview two and a half hours later, Park politely declined, saying he had more running on his agenda, this time with other Los Angeles Dodger pitchers.
Dodgers
Finally, another 75 minutes after that, Park spared a few minutes before a trip to the weight room.
"Every morning I do 35 minutes by myself — I run my course around Dodgetown," said the 24-year-old park, who also runs for 30 minutes with his pitching buddies. "I run a lot, it's big for pitching."
Park became one of the National League's better pitchers last season after winning the No. 5 starting job in spring training.
The first native-born Korean to pitch in the big leagues, Park was 14-8 with a 3.32 ERA and 166 strikeouts in 192
innings. He began the season with a 5-5 career record and 132 strike-outs in 116 and two-thirds innings.
Park finished second in the NL with a .213 opponents' batting average, behind Pedro Martinez, who allowed the opposition to hit just 1.84 while pitching for Montreal.
Park allowed three earned runs or less in 23 of his 29 starts and one earned run or less in 10 starts. The Dodgers were 20-9 when the righthander started.
"I don't think he has scratched the surface," pitching coach Glenn Gregson said. "The sky's the limit for this guy. His work ethic and everything he does will keep him in a position to excel."
The way Park pitches is reminiscent of the way Hall of Famer Tom Seaver did it — much of the power comes from the upper legs.
"Last year was the first time I pitched so many innings in my life." Park said. "I was tired — not mentally, physically, I tried to work hard during the offseason to
be ready. I don't want to miss any turns. Last year, I missed two. I don't want to miss any this year, I want to be ready every time."
Park, who studies English during the offseason, signed with the Dodgers four years ago and began his professional career in the big leagues. But he clearly was not ready.
He pitched in two games with the Dodgers in the 1994 and 1995 seasons before joining the team for good in 1996.
"I feel like newborn, everything's new — every person new for me, for food new for me, for every player new for me," Park said of spring training four years ago. "One thing was the same — baseball. I grew up. I can make my schedule, I can make my goal. I learn all the time."
Spring training is different for Park this year—in the past, he had to worry about making an impression. This spring, he is already locked in as a starter.
"I don't worry about minor leagues, anything like that," he said. "I'm more relaxed, concentration's better."
Gregson said, "He's focused, he knows exactly what he needs to do. This kid's got a plan. He doesn't have to be told what to do."
No one will ever make me wanna boogie. No one!

Malone to pack handgun after getting death threat
SALT LAKE CITY — Utah Jazz star Karl Malone intends to carry a handgun on road trips following a death threat he received in New Jersey last week.
The Associated Press
"From now on, I'll be packing," he said.
JAZZ
The threat came at Continental Airlines Arena on Friday, where Utah beat the New Jersey Nets 122-115.
The Salt Lake Tribune reported yesterday that the threat rattled him. Malone, who has a permit to carry a concealed weapon, told the newspaper he had little faith in security at NBA arenas.
"Not until somebody gets shot or something like that — and it's going to happen."
"And I not going to be one of those 'uh-oh' kind of guys."
Malone's decision poses numerous security problems.
Utah's "concealable carry" law is relatively lax, and only one other state
If Malone secures the necessary permits, he probably would need special permission to carry a weapon even on a chartered flight, and he would have

to pack the weapon and ammunition separately. Firearms must be declared and stowed in the baggage compartments of commercial flights. Some flights ban them entirely.
NBA spokesman Chris Brienza would not discuss security.
Malone has been the subject of threats before. In 1992, when the Jazz were playing in Chicago, the team received several threats on Malone's life.
"We treat each one very seriously." said Brent Allenbach, the vice president of event services at the Delta Center.
Representatives at the Delta Center said situations like the one in New Jersey were handled according to the gravity of the threat.
Skier sets sights on next year
Street ready to win again after injury
The Associated Press
CRANS MONTANA, Switzerland — Picabo Street isn't worrying about the World Cup downhill title. In fact, she isn't even sure who's leading the standings.
Street, winner of the 1995 and 1996 downhill titles, is looking to next season.
yesterday. "I think Kata (seizinger) won it this year. I'm not sure."
"I'm obviously coming back next year for my downhill title," she said
Seizinger, Street's fiercest rival in recent years, did win the downhill title.
"It been an up and down and insane season," Street said. "A lot happened, and it is going to take time for it all to sink in."
The 27-year-old from Sun Valley, daho, started the season two weeks late. She was recovering from a knee injury sustained 15 months earlier that kept her off the slopes for more than a year.
Street said. "Then it slowly started building and building, even with that crash in Are (Sweden), which rung my bell good and scared me a little. But it told我my knee is OK, my body is OK, you know, I can do this. I can push the envelope ahead."
At the Nagano Games, she rose to the moment and won the super-G by one hundredth of a second.
"It was heaven sent," Street said. "One hundredth of a second. You cannot really pick one thing on the course, one thing in the weight room or one thing on the track that you did differently. It was just meant to be."
"I came in obviously a little slow,"

European golfer speaks fresh air
Commentary
Honest opinions find few friends in American tour
By Ron Sirak The Associated Press
Give Colin Montgomerie a break. The outspoken Scottsman is the whipping boy of American golf fans because, well, he's outspoken.
Few athletes talk — particularly when they become rich and — here's one of the best taking his lumps because he speaks his mind.
"I don't think it's right to be false and be accepted that way." Montgomerie said last week, "I think I am who I am, hopefully, and that's the way it is."
Montgomerie said at the Ryder Cup that Valderrama, a Spanish golf course, didn't suit Tiger Woods' game. Anyone want to argue with that assessment?
He said any of the 12 Europeans could beat Woods.
Shouldn't he feel that way and didn't Costantino Rocca — who was working in a box factory when he was Tiger's age — defeat Woods in singles play on Sunday?
"I have opinions about things," Montgomerie said. "I have aired them in the past, and I'll air them in the future."
Montgomerie said that Brad Faxon
"Europe won the Ryder Cup because their young players played better than our young players," a friend of one of the young Americans said.
Perhaps Montgomerie helped lift the confidence of his young teammates.
True, when things are not going well. Montgomerie does come off as a whiner. But he cares. What's wrong with that? Caring is a huge part of the complicated mix that makes up a champion.
was distracted by his divorce. That was not a delicate observation, but Faxon's play proved it accurate.
Woods frequently draws gasps from his gallery when he bangs a club off the ground or yells an obscurity. At times, Woods reacts to an iron shot that lands 25 feet from the hole as he has just hit the worst shot imaginable.
Yet it is all seen as part of his passion.
Maybe the U.S. team needed the same kind of verbal leader.
Let Montgomery express dissatisfaction, and he is called a crybaby. It is as if people go out of their ways to slam him.
Montgomerie was greeted at Doral by an article in Sports Illustrated that
called "the Goon from Troon, golf's Gael-force windbag" and said "many fans see the pasty Scot as a fifth-class lerk."
He was more baffled at the attack than angry or hurt.
At 34, Montgomerie is at the peak of his game, leading the European Tour money list for a record five consecutive years.
Since 1992, he has had two seconds, a third and a 10th in the U.S. Open and a second in the PGA Championship, losing both the PGA and the U.S. Open in playoffs. The misconception is that Montgomerie blew those majors.
Tom Kite won the 1992 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach with one of the great bad-wather closing rounds.
Montgomery made birdies on the last three holes and shot a final-round 65 at Riviera to make the playoff with Steve Elkington in the 1995 PGA and lost to a 20-foot birdie putt on the first extra hole.
He was runner-up to Ernie Els last year in the U.S. Open at Congressional
"You put that down to nerves and not my ball flight." Montgomerie said about his approach to the same pin that drifted right, setting up a fatal bogey.
How refreshingly honest. He admitted he was nervous.
Montgomerie shot a 69 in the final round at Congressional, and his 70.92 scoring average in the U.S. Open is second only to the 70.32 by Els in this decade. In six U.S. Opens, Montgomerie's final rounds have been two 68s, a 69, two 70s and a 72.
Only in the playoff at Oakmont with Els and Loren Roberts in the 1994 U.S. Open, when Montgomery shot a 42 on the front nine, was he not up to the pressure of the day.
---
Montgomerie is 0-for-45 in PGA Tour events. But the nine times he led or was within five strokes of the lead going to the final round he averaged 70.11 and never shot higher than 72.
"My goal this year, as it has been every time I've come over here, is to win a PGA Tour event," Montgomery said.
"I think I have to say that in complete fairness that the competition is stiffer here," he said about not winning yet in America.

Well put, Montv.

"From the crowds to the way that the whole thing is run, it's a fabulous, fabulous tour you have here," Montgomerie said. "And hopefully, people realize that."

Revue changes some elements of debated skit
CREATION LOVE
By Sara Anderson sanderson @kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Alpha Delta Pi and Lambda Chi Alpha members have made changes to their Rock Chalk Revue skit, but members of the Native American Students Association and the Black Student Union still are upset with the skit's undertones.
NASA and BSU representatives reconvened last night with the Revue's executive board and the skit's directors to present
recommended changes. The group then made final decisions regarding, "Don't Drink the Water," which is set in a jungle with a tribal theme.
Elyse Towey, NASA president, said she was glad that the discussions took place but that she still was upset with the skit. She said she had hoped the skit would be pulled.
"Even with the changes, we still find it inappropriate and oppressive," she said. "We appreciate all the hard work, but this should have been caught before the stage."
have been dealt before in Andrew Schauder, executive producer of the Revue, said that NASA and BSU's opinions were considered and that specific changes included modifying headdresses and making vocabulary changes, such as changing the word chief to king. They also eliminated the use of the words indigenous and tribe.
The Revue did not consider pulling the skit because there was no single problem, and it still would be a part of the overall production, Schauder said.
Michael Yellow Bird, NASA adviser and professor, said that the issue helped educate but the changes did not alleviate the problem.
Amber McGraw, director for Alpha Delta Pi, said the show would make as many changes as possible considering the time constraint.
Michael Bell, Detroit junior and BSU representative, agreed with Towey that the program still could be derogatory.
"Changes just sweep racism under the rug," he said. "We're looking for a greater good. We're looking for a campus-wide effort."
schaunder said the issue could be used to make improvements.
"We felt that the suggestions were taken into consideration but that even with the changes, it would still be offensive," he said.
"We can use this as a catalyst for change," he said. "We realize that the show was controversial and have taken into consideration all that was said."
Towey said the suggestion was made to have more minorities present during the screening process to help avoid future problems.

Evolution can no longer be considered a mere theory.
Vatican astronomer explores theories
Science not always secular, priest says
By Graham K. Johnson gjohnson@kansan.com Kanson staff writer
Religious people do not have to give up their faith to become scientists or to believe in evolution. Take it from the Rev. George V. Coyne, Roman Catholic priest and astronomer.
Speaking as a scientist, Coyne said he strongly believed in an evolving universe.
"Considering all most recent scientific results, evolution can no longer be consider a mere theory." Coyne said. "It's fairly well established scientific fact."
Last night, Coyne, Vatican Observatory director, discussed Reflections on Life in Cosmic Evolution with about 250 people at the Spencer Museum of Art Auditorium.
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences spent $550 dollars for Coyne's visit, which was arranged by the physics and astronomy, and western civilization departments.
Coyne said scientific evidence about evolution provided an argument against theories that evolution happened by chance, as some atheists claim, or by designed necessity, as some creationists claim. It is both, Coyne said.
"God made the universe in such a way that it has these processes of necessity, chance and
prolific possibilities for producing things like ourselves." Coyne said.
Coyne said he believed his scientific views were in line with Roman Catholic doctrine about evolution.
The Rev. Vince Krishe, St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center director, said the church's official stance on evolution is known as mitigated evolution. According to this theory, evolution is a viable explanation for the development of nature and the human body, but the human soul is created uniquely and introduced by God.
In a press conference yesterday morning, Coyne said he had never had any conflict with the church about his scientific views. He does not expect to have a problem because he does not think science and religion contradict each other.
"A scientist can view the evolution of the universe without — if he is a religious believer, if he has faith — without that faith being challenged at all." Covne said.
Jennifer Echols, Olatef freshman who is taking a physics class about the origins of the universe, said she was not persuaded to change her views about God but found Coyne's views intriguing.
Coyne said his science made his faith stronger. Jang-Yen Wu, professor of biochemistry, said his study of complex brain functions enriched his Presbyterian faith.
"The more you know about science, the more you appreciate the existence of God." We said.
"He doesn't really see that religion is in conflict with science," Echols said. "I thought that was really interesting."

Coke money to provide $1,000 scholarships
Aid would assist children of faculty staff at University
By Gerry Dylee
gdoyle@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Another meritorious aspect of the Coca-Cola contract will bubble to the surface next semester.
The Coca-Cola Merit Scholarship, which is a scholarship program for sons and daughters of University of Kansas faculty and staff, will begin with the fall semester's freshman class.
The scholarships are a $1,000 one-time award for incoming freshmen. If funds are available after the initial scholarship awards, Coke scholarships of up to $1,000 will be awarded to continuing students on a year-to-year basis.
The program is a way to take some of the money from the Coca-Cola contract and put it back into the University, said Chancellor Robert Hemenway. It also shows administrative appreciation for faculty and staff, Hemenway said.
To be eligible for the scholarships, students must have a 24 composite ACT score and a 2.5 grade point average or a 21 ACT score and a 3.0 grade point average.
This program would not be expanded to include all students, said Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, associate provost. The Coca-Cola contract provided the scholarship money, but all the decisions about its use are the University's, she said.
The program ideally will attract more high-quality students, he said.
"It's been our desire for a long time to offer recognition and appreciation for the loyalty of employees to the University," he said. "This is just one way we can help out with scholarships. It means that a lot of good students will be able to come here."
Although this program targets children of faculty and staff, this group gets no other benefits, she said.
"Some people think that they get a
deal," she said. "They don't. This is a first. And since all or most of them are Kansas residents, this covers about a semester's worth of expenses."
Cerveny said that the scholarships were guaranteed with eligibility and that it was likely that upperclassmen would get awards, too.
"It looks like there will be an opportunity for upperclassmen," he said. "It will give them an opportunity if they're doing well to get some extra financial assistance."
semester's written report. The scholarships were not part of the contract, said Alan Cerveny, director of admissions.
The scholarship was an appropriate spin-off of the Coke deal, said Tim Gibson, a Lawrence sophomore whose father is a professor of journalism at the University. Because of some of the less-popular aspects of the deal –such as Coke-only machines and more plastic bottles – providing a scholarship program was a good deal, Gibson said.
"It would give me a little extra help," he said. "I think it's only right. They're taking our money, and this way they're putting it back."

Head 'Hawk follows team; other officials watch at home
By Gerry Doyle
gdayle @kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The brackets are out, and the Kansas basketball teams will be traveling — so will some of the University of Kansas administrative staff.
The University has no official travel party, he said. If the team charters a flight, Hemenway said he likely would fly on that aircraft.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway said he would attend all of the Kansas men's NCAA tournament games. He said he would arrive at the tournament site on game day and attend fan and alumni gatherings.
Hemenway said that the games were enjoyable and that he could travel to more than the first-round sites this year.
Hemenway said he hadn't made a decision about whether to cancel class if Kansas won the national championship.
"Obviously, we have the best coach and national-caliber players," he said. "But this year, I am as superstitious as Roy Williams is. If we do go all the way, there won't be any lack of celebration."
Associate Provost Lindy Eakin said that although he was not able to attend any tournament games, he would make sure to watch the games. Eakin said he probably would tape the games too.
The Big 12 Conference Tournament was not as important - he taped the games played during the work day - but the NCAA tournament games were special, he said.
"I wish I could go," he said. "But if the game's on at 2 p.m., then there will be a TV somewhere, and that's where most everyone will be. I won't schedule any meetings or anything during that time."
Sandra Gautt, assistant provost, said that although her husband, Prentice Gautt, was a Big 12 associate commissioner, she would not travel to the games. She said she enjoyed college basketball in general and KU basketball specifically but probably would see the games from her couch at home.
Unlike Eakin, Gautt said that she would not take out time from her day to watch the game.
"If it's a work day, I'm doing other usual kinds of things," she said. "There's always a wealth of work to do, but I'm sure I'll get regular reports from people in the office."
Penny Edgerton, Eakin's secretary, got tickets to the tournament through the University's lottery. She said she received tickets to both the second-round games in St. Louis and the Final Four in San Antonio.
Although the St. Louis tickets cost $90 a seat and the San Antonio tickets cost $100 a seat, Edgerton said she was looking forward to the experience.
"We're all going to drive," she said.
"There's going to be a group of friends in a van. The tickets are worth it—it's like a once-a-year thing. But I might give one to Lindy if he wanted it bad enough."

Gunshots, bullet holes lead officers to suspects
More gunfire was reported yesterday morning in the neighborhood near Sixth
and Mississippi streets, Lawrence police said.
Sgt. George Wheeler said Lawrence police arrested a suspect the same morning in connection with the incident.
wheeler said police received a report of shots being fired about 2 a.m. It was the fourth report in 10 days from the the area.
While investigating, officers stopped a car pulling away from King Pharmacy, 1112 West Sixth St., and searched the vehicle. Wheeler said.
"They found a recently fired pistol in it and then found bullet holes in the King Pharmacy," he said.
After further investigation, police found several bottles of drugs in the car with labels from The Medicine Shoppe, 1807 Massachusetts St. Officers were dispatched to The Medicine Shoppe and found bullet holes in the store window.
"We believe he robbed The Medicine Shoppe, then damaged King Pharmacy," Wheeler said.
The Medicine Shoppe has been burglarized three other times this year.
Wheeler could not say if police would try to connect the suspect to the other reports of gunshots or the previous burglaries.
"I wouldn't say we're going to try to link him to all that." Wheeler said.
He said the man was booked at 2:53 a.m. in Douglas County Jail, 111 Massachusetts St., on two counts of criminal damage and one count of theft.

Fight puts football player on probation for assault
University of Kansas tight end Jason Gulley was sentenced yesterday morning for his involvement in a Sept. 13, 1997, fight outside Jawahar Towers.
Douglas County District Judge Paula Martin sentenced Gulley to 18 months probation, including restitution with the victim of
the fight and 50 hours of community service at the Boys and Girls Club of Lawrence, 1520 Haskell Ave.
Guilley pleaded guilty to one count of battery and one count of unlawful assembly. Unlawful assembly occurs when five or more individuals gather with the intent to assault another individual.
Jerry Little, assistant district attorney and prosecutor in Gulley's case, said that if Gulley violated any of the conditions of his probation, he would face six months in Douglas County Jail for each of the convictions.
"As long as he complies with the terms of his probation, his case is over," Little said.
Little said Gulley would make restitution with the victim by paying the victim's medical bills.
Marines to face penalties for Italian ski lift accident

Renovations preserve safety in Strong Hall
By Gerry Doyle
gdylew@kansan.com
Kanson staff writer
The University of Kansas is taking steps to ensure that one of its oldest buildings will continue to stand strong.
As part of the University's Crumbling Classrooms program, the 89-year-old Strong Hall will be renovated to improve its usefulness and safety. The project, which is budgeted for $2 million, will be completed in about nine months, said Bud Stallworth, assistant director of design and construction management.
The low bid for the project was $1,776,877 and came from Kansas Building Systems of Topeka.
Some renovations, such as upgrading the building's electrical system, will begin this month. The rest will begin when school ends, Stallworth said.
"The building needed upgrading," he said. "We have to deal with fire code issues, and electrical availability was substable. Some of these things are just a life safety issue."
There will be a preconstruction meeting with the contractor Friday, said Bob Rombach, project manager. Actual work will begin after the contractor takes field measurements, which are scheduled to begin in about two weeks.
The renovations will replace old wiring—some of which is more than 50 years old—that is overtaxed by an increasing number of devices in the building, said Gary Lawson, engineering manager. A fire alarm and fire doors will be added, and three stairways in the building will be enclosed to help prevent a potential fire from spreading. A new entrance with a ramp to improve handicapped access will be added on the north side of the building. Lawson said the renovations simply were a

matter of changing times.
"A lot of the gear just has reached the end of its useful life," he said. "We've needed to have added capacity for some time. As the years have gone by, there have been piecemeal additions. Hopefully, there will be minimal inconvenience during the renovations."
Much of the project will be invisible to the average onlooker, said Rodger Oroke, University director of facilities management.
sydney office. "The main thing that will be different in terms of when the general public walks in is the lighting in the corridors," he said. "It's pretty dim right now. Also, if they need to go to the bathroom, they will find it a much-upgraded facility. What we hope you won't see are the two new smoke enclosure doors to keep a fire from spreading."

University cashes in on Coke
By Gerry Doyle and Brandon Coppey

The University of Kansas capped its deal with Coca-Cola last week, cashing a check for $7 million Friday.
That money is drawing interest in a KU Endowment Association fund that, together with an annual payment of $450,000, will help finance a variety of University programs and scholarships.
Theresa Klinkenberg, director of administration, said although the money had been designated for general use, few allocations had been made and the procedure for allocating the funds had not been determined.
For sponsorships of events put on by student organizations and the University, $300,000 has been earmarked. Another $50,000 has been set aside for sponsorship of programs that appeal to large audiences at the University, such as a lecture series.
Distribution of those funds will be controlled by two subcommittees of the new Partnership Council.
The council, which is charged with monitoring the sale of Coke on campus and with overseeing disbursement of the funds, is made up of students, administrators and
representatives of the Unions, the Athletics Department, Coke and Treat America, the snack vendor that owns the snack machines on campus.
In December, the Student Program Support subcommittee began formulating policies and procedures by which student groups could apply for funds.
Subcommittee member Dedra Seibel, McPherson sophomore, said the subcommittee had completed a draft of the application. A registered student groups would be asked the amount of funding it was requesting, how the funds would be spent and how its activities would contribute to education at the University.
"It would be a mistake not to take advantage of what students can bring to those kind of programs," she said. "We're at the University to learn, and students should have the opportunity to learn about putting on programs."
Student Union Activities President Michelle Dennard said that SUA hoped to use the funds to start a lecture series and that she thought SUA should be involved in coordinating programs sponsored with Coca-Cola funds.
Matt Dunbar, Overland Park junior and secretary of KU Environs, said that corporate sponsorship would help student groups but that corporate mentality should not be allowed to infiltrate student activities.

"The money it brings in is wonderful. Nobody can deny that," he said. "But we don't want people to start seeing that as part of the University. Coke doesn't have as bad a track record as other corporations, but corporations are a big downfall of society."
Some Coca-Cola money already has been spent on trying to improve the quality of the environment at the University.
The Department of Environmental Health and Safety now owns a $24,000 pickup purchased with money from Coca-Cola, and by the time students return from spring break, about 30 University buildings should contain new recycling bins, Klinkenberg said. The University also used money from the Coke deal to buy 50 new bins, she said.
Police prepare for NCAA mayhem
By Ronnie Wachter

Area police say that property crimes may rise during the NCAA basketball tournament, which begins today.
Sgt. Chris Keary of the KU Public Safety Office said that he did not expect to see an increase in on-campus crimes during this year's tournament games, but that KU police were preparing for the worst.
Keary said the Public Safety Office was examining the number of extra officers needed to handle an on-campus celebration, as it did in 1988, 1991 and 1993.
"1991 was the last time we had to fully employ our contingency plan," Keary said. "1993 wasn't as bad."
In 1991, Keary said police handled a series of false fire alarms, several
fights between students, criminal damage to property, fireworks violations and medical calls. During the celebration, which followed the Jayhawks' upset victory against North Carolina, several campus trees were damaged.
"It's part of our protocol, and it's an understanding we have with the KUPD and the sheriff's department." he said. "Whenever one office has too many calls to handle, one or the other will come in to assist."
Sgt. George Wheeler of the Lawrence Police Department said Lawrence police officers were dispatched to campus to help University officers handle the crowd.
Offerer Russ Dykstra, media relations officer for the Kansas City, Mo., Police Department, said the department faced similar crimes during the Big 12 Conference Tournament in Kemper Arena. He said an increased police presence in the vicinity helped keep the crime level down.
"We had extra police in the parking lots during the games," he said. "I thought that deterred a lot of the problem."
Wheeler said automobile burglaries and illegal parking were two crimes the Lawrence police assisted KU public safety with during games.
Dykstra said the department expected problems similar to those in Lawrence when people began having tournament house parties in Kansas City. He also said problems could arise during the women's Final Four games to be held March 27-29 at Kemper Arena
"Any time you have large groups of people congregating in one area, that's going to lead to an increase in crime," he said.

Beltway jaunt proves the 'discretion' in 'discretionary fund' isn't so great
Student Body President Scott Sullivan and Legislative Director Samantha Bowman wasted student money going to Washington, D.C., for a conference on lobbying.
Sullivan financed the trip out of his presidential discretionary account and proved that his discretion isn't all that great. Sullivan should have used the money to send other students who would be here next year so that what they learned could be practiced for more than just a few weeks.
Both Sullivan and Bowman are graduating seniors who will be leaving for parts unknown in May. There is only one planned day of lobbying — in Topeka — remaining this year. Yet Sullivan thought that it was a worthwhile expense to pay for airfare and the conference.
Or perhaps he was thinking that he and Bowman could go have a good time on Student Senate's last discretionary nickel. Neither of those seem like good government. Neither do anything for students.
Sullivan should have sent two of the Student Legislative Awareness Board coordinators to the conference. That way, next year's Senate executive staff, or at least SLAB, would have someone who had experience with lobbying. Tom Moore, issues and research coordinator, and Korb Maxwell, lobbying coordinator, would have made excellent representatives of the University at the conference. Both of them will be here next year, and both have shown an interest in sticking with SLAB.
In addition to the conference, Bowman and Sullivan also participated in National Student Lobby Day, a day when thousands of college students converge on the Capitol to meet and greet lawmakers and give a spiel about how much money students need. This may have been a worthy side trip for Sullivan and Bowman, but it does not justify the trip — especially since Cancellor Robert Hemenway has hired a legislative consultant in Washington and has vowed to take faculty and staff to meet with lawmakers.
The trip may have been a reward for Sullivan and Bowman for a year's worth of hard work. Instead of a reward, the trip should have been an opportunity for new blood to learn how to do the job.
That would have been better discretion.
Andv Obermueller for the editorial board
Student input valuable to Endowment
The Endowment Association raised more than $47 million last year, according to its annual budget report. Most of these donations were earmarked for specific spending initiatives. However, $1.4 million of it was given without any specifications about its allocation. The administration recommends how the Endowment Association spends this money, and although students have an indirect say in it through membership in joint student-administration committees, this is not enough.
Students should have a say in how the Kansas University Endowment Association spends unspecified donations.
Students should be allowed to participate directly in the prioritizing and decision-making that determines the allocation of unspecified Endowment
Association donations.
The Endowment Association has an executive committee comprised of trustees. Chancellor Robert Hemenway makes recommendations to this committee, emphasizing the areas that he thinks need it. The committee then considers his recommendations.
Although students can suggest areas that need additional spending, they must do so indirectly, within the context of committees.
Hemenway said that the administration encouraged student involvement at every level of the University of Kansas. He said that students have indirect methods to influence the administration as to how unspecified Endowment Association funds are allocated. But he also said that perhaps the
forum in which students are allowed to voice opinions to the administration could be re-examined to ensure that students have a direct role in the allocation of funds.
No one is suggesting that students usurp the Endowment Association's authority to spend its money. However, it is important for students to be able to voice their opinions directly about how money for them should be spent. Obviously, students are more intimately aware of the problems that affect them. Students provide a unique and essential perspective about important issues at the University. The administration should show that it values student opinion by allowing students to have a more direct role in the allocation of unspecified Endowment Association funds.

My first thought was that Scott Kaiser and his KU on Wheels cohorts had collected excess snow from in front of Wescoe Hall and spread it on the street. It made sense at first — they ensure that folks without a bus pass have to cough up some cash while waiting for a bus that may never come. But I remembered that the buses aren't always stable on the powder.
Then I thought that maybe Facilities Operations had forgotten that Jayhawk Boulevard is a main thoroughfare through campus — might I even say the main thoroughfare. But then decided that wasn't who "they" is because the most of campus was cleared. OK, so some of it was cleared.
I was forced to conclude that "they" will remain undiscovered for now. But I will not be defeated. No indeed. I will continue to risk my life riding on the slushy street as a protest. And "they" had better not try to fix the situation merely by putting down sand.

jursey and her. In one sense, political correctness operates as a self-censor with discipline resulting in a type of personal and/or political shaming. That censor is based upon a code of conduct and language, which can be quite rigid and unforgiving for some offenders, and elastic for others.
Because the irritants of left-speak P.C. have been kicked into the ground at naseum, let's explore some of the right wing's untouchable areas of offense and commandments for action and censorship.
1. Thou shalt not hold any other modern Republican above Ronald Reagan. This includes any criticism of Iran-Contra, Reagan's game of nuclear chicken with the Soviet Union, his ballooning of the debt and yearly deficit and black-balling suspected actors of communistic activity during the McCarthy witch-hunts. By violating this commandment, shaming can result in being branded a historical revisionist. This commandment is occasionally endorsed by the "New Democrats."
2. Thou shalt not endorse the special interest. This includes the poor, minorities, women, immigrants, children, the disabled and the elderly. In other words, anyone other than CEOs, the Christian Coalition and occasionally the NRA. By violating this commandment, shaming can result in being branded a "liberal" representing the special interest.
3. Thou shalt always hold the "liberal" media responsible for any anti-Republican flak. This dead dog is right-speak P.C.'s last refuge for tacitly admitting defeat in an argument or debate. For example, the right might say that their bill to further slash welfare expenditures wasn't passed because of the biased coverage in the liberal media.
4. Thou shalt not criticize the corporate class or any of their actions undertaken in the free market. This includes mentioning the exploitation of immigrants, child labor, the poor, the homeless, sweat shops, slave wages and downsizing. By violating this
8. Thou shalt focus on no social or domestic policy other than the war on drugs, with the sole solution being to build more prisons. During election years this commandment is occasionally amended to include the war on Hollywood to promote family values. Any mention of other policies can result in being exposed as a liberal playing up to the special interest.
9. Thou shalt never openly mention Watergate, Iran-Contra or other such Republican fiascos. Nor shalt one mention quotes such as Reagan's "Evil Empire," "[nuclear] bombs are on the way" radio address, or George Bush's "Read my lips" promise.
7. Thou shalt honor thy Founding Fathers with blind reverence. This requires no historical knowledge of their position on politics or economics, hence the blindness, but rather the dogma that has arisen from American folklore and myth — also called propaganda. This also is right-speak P.C.'s second-to-last refuge for tacitly admitting defeat in an argument or debate. Simply use an obscure or out-of-context quote from Thomas Jefferson to bolster your own agenda.
5. Thou shalt not endorse the welfare state.
That is, unless it is for big corporations that rely on heavy corporate welfare handouts.
rely on heavy corporate warfare control. 6. Thou shalt not criticize the military, military spending or any ordered military action with a seated Republican president. We must continue our current military spending to defend democracy and freedom against the military technologies of any possible 'rogue nations' to which Lockheed-Martin previously was selling military technologies, thereby justifying more corporate welfare for Lockheed to combat its own weapons of mass destruction. If only I had a nickel for every time I've heard "weapons of mass destruction" during the past few weeks. This commandment is especially important for politicians who want to avoid being shamed with the wimp label. Occasionally, this commandment is amended to include a Democratic president.
10. Thou shalt remember the Cold War and keep it holy. This helps support Commandment Six. The idea is that even though we "won" the Cold War, it may not be finished. There are several rogue countries out there manufacturing weapons of mass destruction. This also refers to holding Reagan responsible as the sole leader and reason in "winning" the Cold War — see Commandment One.
commandment, shaming can result in being branded a socialist or maybe even a commite. This commandment is occasionally endorsed by the New Democrats.
Of course, the phenomenon of right-speak P.C. is nothing new. It always has existed. But since the "liberal" media and public officials rarely violate it, such censorship is difficult to detect.
Nevertheless, as with the left-speak P.C. police, the right-speak P.C. police are out, effectively imposing the chains of self-censorship via the mechanism of political and personal shaming.

Students may have say in Union
By Marc Sheforgen and Melissa Ng
msheforgen@kansan.com
mngo@kansan.com
Kansan stuff writer
Student Senate's finance committee demanded last night that students have a strong say in any renovations of the Kansas Union.
The committee approved the proposal to use student fees for Union renovations but then passed a resolution that required students to make up no less than 50 percent of any committees pertaining to modification efforts.
It's our money, and we want input on the way that it is configured so that it takes students' needs into account," said Artt Yudelson, nontraditional senator.
Yudelson also said that he or other senators may work on a resolution that would give KU architecture students an opportunity to be involved with Union modifications.
Jim Long, Union director, said that he thought the idea to maximize student representation was positive and that the University Memorial Corporation would cooperate with senate's efforts.
The renovation proposal and the resolution concerning student involvement in decision making will go before the full senate Wednesday.
In Student Rights committee, legislation to add three seats for representatives from the Native American Student Association, Black Student Union and the Hispanic American Leadership Organization passed after debate.
"I want a guarantee for minority representation on Senate," said Dion Jones, holdover senator and bill sponsor. "Who's going to represent them without this?"
Jones read letters from the three organizations stating their desire for the seats, but there were no representatives from the groups at the meeting. Jones said he did not think representatives were needed at the meeting because of the letters.
Rachel Schwartz, Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, voted against the bill.
"For something this important, I think there should have been a lot more input from the groups instead of just one-paragraph letter."
Schwartz said.
Student Rights committee also heard debate about two bills concerning the number of votes necessary to amend Senate Rules and Regulations. Rule 1.4 states that a two-thirds majority vote is necessary for amendment.
The committee passed legislation mandating that a majority vote be necessary to change rules and regulations. This bill brings rules and regulations into agreement with University Code, which also calls for a majority vote.
The bill appeared after last week's Senate meeting, when it was discovered that rule 1.4 was different from University Code, said Aaron Profit, Nunemaker senator and a bill sponsor. University Code supersedes rules and regulations.
The committee did not pass a bill to change the University Code section from the majority vote to a two-thirds vote.
The debate on the issue is not dead, said Kelly Huffman, Student Executive Committee chair. The bill to change University Code most likely would be brought up at next week's Senate meeting during the debate concerning the bill to change rules and regulations.

Laptop gives KU police high-tech help
By Laura Roddy
lroodby@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Police officers from the KU Public Safety Office, similar to other officers across the state, are taking technology into the field.
Sgt. Chris Keary said that four officers last week had begun taking a laptop computer, equipped with report-writing software, with them on patrol shifts.
The officers, who each are on different shifts, will be using the laptop in the field for a trial period.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS POLICE DEPARTMENT
DIAL 911

With the laptop, officers can enter information directly into a report as they interview witnesses or victims. That way, the officers do not have to transcribe notes when they file a report. Officers can print their reports in the squad room at Carright-O'Leary Hall or give their supervisors the computer disk.
"This is an example of using technology to use the officers' time more efficiently," Keary said.

The public safety office has had the report-writing software since early October, Keary said. It is installed on six computers, including the laptop.
After evaluating the benefits, tentative plans are to expand so that more officers could use a laptop when patrolling, Keary said.
He said all officers attended training in December to learn how to operate the software, which was created by Brandt Drafting based in Valley Center.
"Some have really gotten into it, whereas some are writing out the reports like they always have," he said. "I think as they see how easy it is to use and how handy it is, hopefully, more will do."
Al Brandt of Brandt Drafting said 151 agencies in Kansas were using the software. The Kansas Highway Patrol is using 35 laptops, and the software also is being marketed in Oklahoma, he said.
Brandt said he created the program in 1991 for a friend at the Halstead Police Department.
That year, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation created new forms with smaller fields and check boxes that no longer could be typewritten, he said.
"It took awhile to catch on," Brandt said. "The last couple of years it's really taken off."
Brandt said one advantage was the computer version of offense reports and
accident forms looked the same as the paper forms officers filled out by hand.
The Lawrence police department is testing two laptops in the field, said Sgt. George Wheeler. He said that the laptops had been out for about a month and
that the goal was to get feedback from as many officers as possible.
"We're still kind of in a transitional phase," he said. "At some point, we're going to send our forms in electronically to the KBI."

Photos exhibit evolving definition of family

Museum displays art documenting American lifestyle
By Sarah Hale Special to the Kansan
As an icon during the Great Depression or as a model for the perfect suburban lifestyle, the term family has changed definitions. An exhibit at the Spencer Museum of Art uses photographs to compare these changes.
The mother's bond with children and the rise in amateur photography are just two of the aspects that The Family in Photography exhibit illustrates. The exhibit will run through March 22.
first-time visitor to the museum.
One first-time visitor to the museum thought the exhibit gave an accurate description of families.
Stefanie Vigil, curatorial intern of photography at the museum, said the past 100 years had been a period of growth and change for families.
After the Great Depression, a period when family represented strength despite U.S. economic despair, came a time of amateur photos and children's individuality. Viril said.
"It shows a natural setting, whereas paintings are sometimes fake. In the photo, you see the people as they really are. Each family is different-nude, poor or rich," said Nora Allan, Lawrence resident.
The exhibit includes photos from the 1940s to the 1970s that depict a modern suburban lifestyle.
Bill Owen's Suburbia, a photo from 1973, does not include pictures of people but is of a living room decorated for Christmas. Christmas presents, a television and other modern items in the photo represent the family.
"Whether formal studio portraits or casual snapshots, photographs of the family have broadened our understanding of how our culture functions and how we view ourselves," Vigil said.
The exhibit was designed by Vigil to be a visual representation of the growth in families. By including more than 50 black and white photos from the 19th century to the present, Vigil tries to show how fast the definition of family has changed.
Photographer Mark Goodman takes another step at defining a family by stressing the importance of children's individuality. His 1970s photos show children standing in their bedrooms surrounded by their possessions.
The 1970s was a period when children were given more freedom to express themselves, Vigil said.
One of Goodman's untitled pieces shows this with two boys wearing swim trunks, plugging their ears and screaming. Vigil included this photo to show how families were defined by healthy, happy children.
In addition to traditional family lifestyles, the exhibit also displays nontraditional family lifestyles, such as a picture of a homosexual couple, a couple that lives on a nudist colony and couples without children. Vigil said she chose photographs that looked at new
types of modern families.
Jon O'Neal's 1985 photo My Friend Greg Dies shows two homosexual men lying perpendicular to one another.
Photographers such as
New publication focuses coverage on community
O'Neal suggest that a family is not limited to blood relations but includes anyone who shares the love and warmth that have come to define a family, Vigil said.

Reminiscent of the emergence of KAW 89.9 FM last year, a new politically charged community publication distributed its first issue Feb. 27
The Kaw Valley Independent is a semimonthly publication that provides the Lawrence community with information not available from local media, said Matt Caldwell, Lawrence senior and Independent staff member.
"We want to show people that they have choices with the media and to illustrate the power that the media has," Caldwell said.
The idea for the Independent was hatched last fall. A list of writers and contributors was created through word-of-mouth advertising at the University, Caldwell said.
"There is a wealth of knowledge at the University, and a lot of people who can write about a variety of issues," he said. "But it's a community paper, not a University paper, so we want to expand our staff to also include more Lawrence residents."
The first issue of the Independent was 16 pages that were printed at the Olathe Daily News.
The 10,000 copies cost $700 to print and were financed by staff members and local advertising. Future issues will cost about $700 and also will be printed in Olathe, Caldwell said.
Topics discussed in the first issue included the University's contract with Nike and the University of Kansas Medical Center's ban on abortion.
Caldwell said he saw the publication as a complement to Lawrence's community radio station. KAW-FM.
"They're both corporate-free, community oriented and motivated media," he said.
The Independent's progress has been smooth, said a staff member who is a KU doctoral candidate in history and former intern at The Village Voice and The Nation.
Kip Curtis, graduate teaching assistant in history, said he hoped the publication eventually would move from semimonthly to weekly status.
Curtis said that there was an information void in the local media and that city politics did not receive sufficient attention in local publications.
"The Kansan does a good job with campus politics," he said, "but it doesn't really cover city politics, and the Journal-World covers the interests of the Chamber of Commerce and developers."
"If someone wants to contribute, they should contact us and send us their stories." he said.
Curtis said that the *Independent* staff had received positive feedback about the first issue.
contact us and send us their stories, he said. Caldwell said Volume 1, Issue 2, of the Independent will be available Monday at locations throughout downtown Lawrence and on Sixth and 23rd streets. Featured stories will include Borders' anti-union activities and the University's association with Phillips 66, he said.

Thomas questionable for Friday's game
By Tommy Calagher

Kansan sportswriter
By Tommy Gallagher
Thomas said he would learn today whether he would play against Prairie View A&M at about 9:20 p.m. tomorrow, but team trainers already have given him a weekend outlook.
Kansas guard Billy Thomas practiced yesterday for the first time in a week since being bothered by a left-thigh strain. Going into practice, he appeared loose and confident.
"If I'm not ready to go on Friday, then I'll definitely be ready to go on Sunday," Thomas said. "I am looking forward to improving my health and playing on Friday. That will be a coach's decision."
Friday. Why was it so hard for Thomas said he felt better than he had
since injuring the thigh last week in practice, but Kansas coach Roy Williams approached the issue with cautious optimism
optimism. Whether Thomas will play depends on his performance today at practice in Oklahoma City, Williams said.
"Billy has to be able to go through practice, or I don't think we'll have him this weekend," Williams said. "It's his leg. If you can't run or move, you can't play."
Officially, Thomas is listed as questionable for tomorrow's game.
Thomas said he was able to move better than he had before and that the injury would not affect his shooting. But he was concerned about running the court and playing defense with his leg at less than 100 percent.
"Only two days ago, the trainer said I wouldn't be able to play this weekend," Thomas said. "Now, I can shoot the ball. I can move laterally. I can hop. But I don't know if I can slide, run and defend somebody. We'll see."
somebody.
Thomas averaged 13.8 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game in 34 games this season. And he made two or more three-point field goals in 30 of 34 games.
Guard Ryan Robertson said Thomas served as a team catalyst.
"I think he is the X-factor for us," Robertson said. "He gives us that extra scoring punch that I think some teams just can't handle."
just can change.
But in past years and down the stretch this season, some analysts have criticized the Jayhawks for outside shooting.
The issue came up two years ago when Kansas lost to Syracuse 60-57 in the regional finals.
Thomas was 0-for-5 from the field, including 0-for-4 from three-point range. Overall, the Jayhawks were 22 for 64 (34 percent) for the game, including 4-for-25 (16 percent) from three-point range.
And in last season's 85-82 loss to Arizona in the Sweet 16, Thomas was 5-for-15, including 3-for-10 from three-point range. He scored 13 points.
But Thomas said the Jayhawks were prepared to make another run at the Final Four and to silence the critics.
"This is probably the biggest point of my career," Thomas said. "I think in past years we've been labeled as a team that can't really shoot the ball well in the postseason. This will be the true test."

Kansas athletes qualify for NCAA nationals
Four Kansas athletes recently qualified for the NCAA national championships in their respective sports.
TRACK & FIELD: Senior co-captain Candy Mason and freshman Andrea Branson received invitations to compete in the pole vault at the 1998 NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships in Indianapolis this weekend.
Mason set the Big 12 and Kansas pole vault record earlier this season with a mark of 12 feet, 7 1/2 inches, which ranks fourth nationally. Branson, a freshman, finished second behind Mason at the Big 12 Championships with a mark of 12 feet, which ranks 12th nationally.
Freshman Scott Russell will compete in Indianapolis in the 35-weight weight throw. He already has broken the Kansas record in the event three times this season, and he throw of 67 feet, 23/4

inches is the sixth-best mark in the country.
Her times at the Big 12 Championships several weeks ago were good enough to qualify nationally in the 200 breaststroke, 200 individual medley and 400 individual medley.
Nilsen is a team captain and holds the school record in the 200 breaststroke (2:15.37.) She also is a member of the record-holding 400 medley relay team
Last year at the NCAA Championships, she finished 17th in the 200 breaststroke, just three one-hundredths of a second out of the consolation finals. She also finished 23rd in the 400 individual medley and 37th in the 200 individual medley.

Kansas coach takes another shot at title
By Tommy Gallagher
tgallagher@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas coach Roy Williams had heard all of the questions before.
But Williams said yesterday at his weekly press conference that he would not dwell on the past to motivate his team in the future.
Has the team recovered from last season's NCAA Tournament loss to Arizona? Do you feel pressure to win a national championship?
"Arizona last year finished fifth in their league," Williams said. "But the ability to upset somebody is truly one of the great things about the NCAA Tournament. You've got to play."
The Jayhawks have been a No. 1 seed under Williams three times during the past seven seasons but have advanced no further than the Sweet 16 in any of those years. And in Williams' two trips to the Final Four, Kansas has been a No. 3 seed.
Williams and the Jayhawks are cautious not to take anything for granted, including Prairie View A&M at about 9:20 p.m. tomorrow night at the Myriad Convention Center in Oklahoma City.
Williams said last year's team was a cut above the rest of the Kansas squads he previously had coached.
PETER NICHOLSON
Williams: Says he won't use past disappointments to motivate this year's basketball team
"Last year is the only year that I looked back and said we should have won. Those other years I said we could have." Williams said. "Had we won it in '91, I wouldn't have thought we were one of the top-10 teams." in '93 if we had
Each season presents a new opportunity for Williams. He has a record of 281-61 (.822) — the best winning percentage among active coaches — and he has notched more victories than any other coach during his first 10 seasons.
Last year marked the first time a senior class had failed to reach the Final Four during the Williams era. Raef LaFrentz, Billy Thomas and C.B. McGrath will attempt to reach the Final Four before they graduate in spring.
But Williams said he felt no pressure to win the national title, despite what some critics have claimed.
"I don't think that a lot of analysts, so-called analysts, believe that we can do it," Robertson said. "That's their opinion. This is America, and I don't have a problem with that. I think we're going to find out whether or not that lack of respect is a good motivating tool for us."
"Do I feel as if I have to win it? Not yet," Williams said. "If Bob Frederick and Chancellor Hemenway tell me I have to win it or else they'll fire me, then I might feel that way. But I probably set myself up for a lot of criticism by talking about this openly. But that's all right."
won it, we were probably one of the top five to eight teams."
Some Jayhawks, including guard Ryan Robertson, said the Jayhawks were receiving little respect from basketball analysts.

Williams then shared a conversation he had with a former player from Kansas that refreshed his attitude about coaching pressures.
"He said 'Coach, regardless of what happens, you're still the greatest thing to happen in my life. I'll still use you as a role model.'" Williams said. "It was one of the nicest phone calls you could ever have. And I'll think more of that than of someone criticizing me because I haven't won the national title."

NCAA Predictions
Thursday March 12,1998
Jayhawk success in NCAA tourney is good prediction
Put that pen down! The tournament doesn't start for a few more hours, which means there is still time to change those tournament picks.
plaus.
So pay attention because the following either will be helpful or will expose me as a fraud.
Prediction: Roy Williams will cry at some point during the tournament.
Sleeper: No. 7 Temple, West.
John Chaney has his team playing this crazy matchup defense that will surprise teams.
Spencer
Most likely first-round upset Look for No. 13 seed Eastern Michigan to upset No. 4 seed Michigan State in the East. Then watch No. 13 seed Utah State shock No. 4 seed Maryland in the West. The Terrapins may have defeated some good teams this season, but they lost to some bad ones.
■ Prediction: C.B. McGrath will hit a three-pointer against Prairie View A&M. The basket will be a big one, giving Kansas a 39-point victory and smashing the 36-point spread.
Spencer "Zuko" Duncan
- The 30 point spread
- Most fun to watch: No. 5
Princeton, East. Any team that consistently runs a backdoor—and gets away with it—gets my vote.
BACKUOR - and goes on.
Overrated team: No. 2 Cincinnati, West. It didn't deserve a No. 2 seed, and it will show when it gets thumped in the first or second round.
Underrated team: No. 12 Iona, South. The Gaels have an up-and-coming coach in Tim Welsh, are 27-5 overall, had 15 consecutive victories this year, went 12-3 on the road and have been the MAAC regular season champion three years in a row.
- Searest mascot: San Francisco Dons. Let them win or else wake up with a horse head in your bed.
**Prediction:** Jerod Haase will travel with Kansas, offering to sign his book at every stop.
Most overrated coach: Bob Huggins, Cincinnati. He plays light schedules, and he has yet to win a big game. And he's mean.
Most exciting player: Paul Pierce, Kansas. The All-American can hit a shot from anywhere on the court.
Best frontcourt: Kansas. Pierce and Raef LaFrentz, two first team All-Americans. "Nuff said."
two first team All-Star players
Best backcourt: Eastern Michigan guards Earl Boykins and Derrick Dial average a combined 47 points and nine assist per game.
- Interesting fact: Ryan Robertson's brother, Troy, is playing in the tournament. He is a guard for No. 10 seed St. Louis, which opens against No. 7 seed Massachusetts.
- Likely to choke: Princeton. The team played in the Ivy League, for goodness sake. I have a recreational team that could have finished second in that conference.
- Worst mascot: The Fightin' Blue Hens of Delaware. Sounds about as tough as well, a lawy, a Jayhawk.
South about as Baltimore. Prediction: Billy Thomas won't fumble a wide-open pass under the basket that could decide the game, as he did against Syracuse two years ago.
Schools you don't want to see win: Arizona, Syracuse and Virginia. The teams that have bounced Kansas the past three seasons.
How many Big 12 teams will lose in the opening round: One. Nebraska will fall to Arkansas.
My friend's incorrect prediction: Duke will win it all, defeating Kansas in the Final Four and beating UNC for the title.
Final Four: Kansas, Kentucky, North Carolina and Arizona.
Arizona.
National Champion: Kansas defeats North Carolina, and Roy Williams breaks down into tears.
Four No.1 seeds should advance to San Antonio
■ Best first-round game; No. 10 seed Oklahoma vs. No. 7 seed Indiana, East.
Big 12 vs. Big 10. Kelvin vs. Bobbv. Good vs. Evil.
Between the completely out-of-control Knight and the Sooners' physical play, count on a tight game and more than one technical foul.
Overrated team: No.3 seed South Carolina, East.
Gamecock guards B.J McKie and Melvin Watson form a dynamite backcourt. But don't be surprised if South Carolina gets knocked off by No. 6 seed Xavier in the second round.
■ Underrated team: No.
7 seed Massachusetts,
South.

most athletic front coach in the nation
Best backcourt: No.1 seed Arizona, West
It is hard to argue against All-Americans Miles Simon and Mike Bibby and the best six man in the game, Jason Terry. There isn't a quicker backcourt in the land.
Toughest region: South.
Top-seeded Duke is awesome, and No. 2 seed Kentucky is playing its best basketball of the season. Throw in UCLA, UMass, New Mexico, Syracuse and Oklahoma State, and you have the region that you're glad your team isn't in.
Team you don't want to see win it all: No. 1 Duke, South...
Really, who does?
Really, who does:
Best player you've never heard of: C.J. Black, No. 8
seed Tennessee, West.
The former Kansas recruit quietly has spent the last two seasons putting up high-quality numbers. The 6-foot-8 Black is averaging nearly 15 points and seven rebounds and is one of the main reasons that the Volunteers are back in the Big Dance for the first time since 1989.
Best host city: Oklahoma City
Hey, it is like Wichita — just without the stench
of a uniform. Kentucky
For years, the Wildcats have sported some of the world's worst uniforms. Remember the denim? This year's squad, however, bucks the trend with classy all-white and all-blue uniforms. Maybe more teams will catch on.
Best-looking uniforms: Kentucky.
**Bold prediction:** Three of the four No. 3 seeds will be gone by the second round.
It is a weak year for No. 3 teams and a strong year for No. 6 teams. Of Utah, Michigan, Stanford and South Carolina, only one will make it to the Sweet 16.
Final Four: North Carolina, Duke, Kansas, Arizona. For basketball fans, this would be a dream come true. The big dogs clearly are better than the rest of the pack. On any given night, one of these teams could beat the other.
Most likely to choke: No comment
Hoop dreams and things predicted in tourney column
Best frontcourt: No.1 Kansas, Midwest
that was a tough one. It was between Valparaiso, Iona and Kansas. Hmm, a real thinker; I guess Kansas edged out the others because of the depth that Raef, Paul, T.J., Cheno and Lester give to
Best Backcourt: No.1 Arizona, West
The Wildcats' backcourt has more quick than Nestlé. Simon says Mike Bibby, Michael Dickerson, Jason Terry and Miles Simon are the best guard tandem in the country by far.
Best tournament analyst: Bill Raftery's insights into the game and creativity with catch phrases such as "with the kiss off the glass" take him to the top of his profession.

processes
**Bold prediction:** CBS' audience will skyrocket for three weeks during the tourney, then fall when people realize that the best show on the network is "Everybody Loves Raymond."

Easiest region: The Midthe alley top manager Best-dressed coach: Rick Majerus from Utah because he often wears a team sweater and not an Armani suit. You got to love it when a guy dresses for comfort first. I think coaches should wear the team uniform like the managers do in baseball
Easiest region: The Midwest is the weakest of the four regions, having the least amount, five, of top 25 teams in the USA Today/ESPN poll.
Today's BP nov. 14
Toughest region: The south seems to be the toughest region. UCLA, Kentucky, Michigan and UMASS all are vying for one of the region's two Elite Eight spots.
■ Best dunker: Kansas' Kenny Gregory and Carolina's Vince Carter could be featured in a Pointer Sisters or Van Halen video for the song Jump because of their ups. But I have to go with Maceo Baston from Michigan because he's eligible for a membership to the Frequent Dunker's Club.
Frequent Dinner @ 9:30
Best Fundamentals: No.5 Princeton, East
Best Fundamentals: No. 5 Princeton, East The Tigers stress team basketball to the highest level. I can't emphasize enough how important fundamentals such as the bounce pass, the chest pass and the alley-oop thunder dunk are in college hoops.
- Most likely first-round upset: No. 13 Butler vs. No. 4 New Mexico, South
The Lobos are inconsistent, and that's why Butler has a decent chance to pull the upset.
■ Best player you might not have heard of: Juan "Pepe" Sanchez from Temple does a nice job of running the Owl's halfcourt offense. He's a 6-foot-4 point guard with a strong perimeter game. Besides Sanchez, there are many other solid, lesser-known players that I'm just going to list: Larry Hughes, St. Louis; Rashed Brokenborough, Temple; Lari Ketner, UMASS; Tyson Wheeler, Rhode Island; Lee Nailon, TCU; Michael Dolece, Utah; James Posey, Xavier; Tyrone Nesby, UNLV; Steve Goodrich, Princeton; Tariq Kirksay, Iona; and Rico Hill, Illinois State.
Best first-round game: No. 9 Illinois State vs. No. 8 Tennessee, West
This one may go down to the wire.
This one may go down to the Sleepers (teams with a ninth seed or lower): West:
No. 9 Illinois State; East: No. 12 UNLV; Midwest: No. 12 Florida State; South: No. 13 Butler.
Florida State, South. North 10 to Bayton
*best mascot: Orange you glad I didn't say banana?*
The Syracuse Orangeman is the best mascot because it's big and orange. You got to give it props for being featured in an ESPN commercial (This is the first props I've ever given a mascot).

Final Four: North Carolina, Arizona, Stanford and

National Champion: North Carolina
Lloyd Bridges inspires NCAA tournament picks
Disclaimer: These picks are inspired by a late-night visit from the ghost of Lloyd Bridges.
- Best first-round game: Kansas vs. Prairie View. Forget double-overtime duels and last-second shots. I'm going to sit back tomorrow night and watch a good, old-fashioned but kicking.
Elvis Presley
■ Best first-round individual matchup: In the East, No. 13 Eastern Michigan's Earl Boykins vs. No. 4 Michigan State's Mateen Cleaves. Even their names are exciting.
Most likely first-round upset: In the East, No. 10 Oklahoma vs. No. 7 Indiana. This isn't even an upset. Count on Hootie Wiley and company to put the hurt on the Hoosiers, giving them yet another early exit from the tournament.

- Best player you've never heard of: Bryce Drew, Valparaiso. This former Mr. Basketball in Indiana could have gone to a high-profile school, but he wanted to play for his dad, Homer. The result: four conference championships—regular season and tournament—in four seasons.
Underrated team: No. 12 Florida State, Midwest. The Seminoles beat Connecticut and Arizona before entering a late-season slump. If they regain their form, they will be Kansas' opponent in the Elite Eight.
Overrated team: No. 5 Princeton, East. Enough already about the backdoor cut. Who have they beaten this year? North Carolina State, Texas and Wake Forest. Big-name schools, mediocre teams.
My high school mascot was a Highlander. Four words: Barquines, kill, funny hat.
worst. Bagpies, knit.
■ Best player name: Marvin Gay, Murray State.
He's missing an "e" on the end of his name, but this guy still knows "What's goin' on."
Best host city: *me gusta* San Antonio, Margaritas, good food and live maracchi music. Plus the Alamo, a highly underderrated tourist attraction. If you go, check out the basement.
No. 15 seed most likely to win in the first round: Delaware, Midwest. The Fightin' Blue Hens are well-balanced and will prolong Purdue's tournament woes.
Best statistic: Prairie View A&M's odds of winning the tournament, according to expert Danny Sheridan: five gazillion to one. I didn't even think that was a real number.
■ Random prediction from the South: No. 10 St.
Louis will beat No. 7 Massachusetts by double digits.
Random prediction from the West (otherwise known as the easiest bracket in the history of the modern NCAA tournament): A TV announcer will get Arizona forwards Bennett Davison and A.J. Bramlett confused. No one will notice accept Arizona fans.
Quick mascot facts: Teams with a member of the cat family for a mascot: nine. Teams with a member of the dog family for a mascot: six. Bird mascots: seven.
■ Final Four picks: Duke, Kansas, North Carolina, Arizona.
I know, I know. It never happens. But I just don't see these teams losing, unless it's to each other
■ Champion: Kansas. Billy Thomas is the key. If he gets well and gets hot, no team in the country can stop the Jayhawks.

University student travels to Africa to study abroad

Kansas rower Erin Dean (center) poses with two friends in front of Mt. Longonot in Kenya. Dean took a break from the women's rowing team last spring to spend five months traveling and working in East Africa. Contributed Photo
performed the normal daily tasks of goat herding, cooking and walking long distances for water.
“Most of the day we spent cooking. That’s when I learned the intricacies of slaughtering chickens,” she said. “Each day, they tried to get me to do it as a joke, but I couldn’t bring myself to slaughter the chicken.”
Dean also stayed in the Samburu region of Kenya, where she lived with a host family in a dung hut for three days.
"It was small, dark and smoky, and everyone in the family had to sleep there, as well as their goats and cattle," she said. "I would wake up sometimes at night and right next to me would be a goat."
As a rower, Dean spends much of her time surrounded by water. In Samburu, water was scarce and was a luxury.
"We would play baseball and constantly have to move the goats off the field," she said. "When we played football, the only thing we could use as a ball was elephant dung. Every time, when someone dropped the 'ball,' it would break and we would have to find a new one."
Around her, people were dying because of a drought. Dean also became sick because of a lack of water.
Still, the 30 or so students in the program found time to have fun.
Then came the drinking of the goat's blood. When the Samburu kill a goat, they hold a ceremony, she said.

After suffocating the goat, they make a special bed of sticks and then cut its throat to make a pouch. After puncturing the jugular, blood spills into the pouch.
it was an honor for them to let us drink the blood because usually only the warriors and sometimes mothers that just gave birth get to drink it," she said. "Those of us that did it were covered with blood. But it was special."
Out of respect, the members of the Samburu offered the students a chance to partake in ceremony. Dean decided that because she already was sick, the blood could not do any damage.
Dean returned to the United States last May.
Dean was one of the few students who drank the blood.
"I was prepared to go over there," she said. "Coming back was more of a culture shock for me.
"Every day, it was something new. Every day, something exciting happened," she said.
"Returning to KU after such an incredible experience has been its own adventure."
Dean was nervous at first about
approaching coach Rob Cattoth with the idea of studying abroad
"When I told him what I wanted to do, he said he wanted everyone on his team to have the same opportunities as the other students on campus," she said.
Dean said the entire coaching staff had been helpful in getting her back with team. Catloth has helped her re-adopt to the life of an athlete, she said.
"It's a huge culture shock coming back to Lawrence, Kansas, after living in a third world society with a nomadic tribe and speaking very little English," Catloth said. "I think it's great that she had this opportunity and took advantage of it."
Dean has made her experiences the basis of her senior thesis. But getting back into the life of a student-athlete is an ongoing task.
"Six a.m. practices and multiple term papers have replaced intestinal disorders and prowling lions in my daily thoughts," she wrote recently in the rowing team's newsletter. "Routine tasks have a new value when viewed with the awareness of my good fortune and the memories of an unbelievable semester."

Students try to launch gymnastics club
By Keith Burner
Kansan sportswriter
By Keith Burner
The University of Kansas soon may become the only Big 12 school besides the University of Texas to have a gymnastics club
Three KU students have worked this semester to organize a gymnastics club team. So far, about 20 students have signed up. An informal meeting will be at 9 tonight at 208 Robinson Center.
Jenelle Diebold, Wichita junior and one of the team's organizers, said she had competed in gymnastics for nine years but had quit when she started college.
"We're forming the club so other gymnasts can meet and have people to work out with,"
Diebold said. She is conducting tonight's meeting with Brett Lydon, Genesee, Pa., graduate student; Molly McAdoo, Topeka freshman; and Damien Martell, Lawrence freshman.
Rick Rosenstengle, associate director of the recreation services department, said a policy for establishing sports clubs was used to make sure that all clubs had a chance to be successful.
Diebold said that the group's constitution, one of the requirements for clubs, almost was finished, and that after tonight's meeting, the club would be close to becoming official.
Besides creating an environment where gymnasts could
meet, Diebold said she and the other students involved were creating the club so that anyone, from novice to expert, could have a place and time to practice.
Club members will compete in different events according to sex
Men will compete in the rings, horizontal bar, parallel bars, floor exercises, pommel horse and vault.
Women will compete in the vault, balance beam, floor exercise and uneven bar.
Diebold said she was not sure when or where club members would compete.
The final decision of the club's acceptance will be made by the recreation services department.

The club is governed by a constitution consistent with the purpose and philosophy of recreation rep.

The idea is presented to the Sports Club Council.

The Kansas men's golf team shot its worst team score of the 1997-98 season, but still finished fourth out of 15 teams at the Louisiana Classics Golf Tournament on Tuesday.
The Jayhawks' 909 came at one of Louisiana's toughest courses, the Oakbourse Country Club in Lafavette.
The Jayhawks beat six of the seven Big 12 Conference schools in the tournament and finished eight shots behind Nebraska and Arkansas, which tied for second place. Tulsa won the tournament with a 896.
Individually, junior Chris Thompson and sophomore Ryan Vermeer continued their streak of finishing in the top 10.
fourth place by shooting a 71 in the final round and finishing with a total of 220, three strokes off the lead.

Thompson played his way into
It was Thompson's sixth top-10 finish in as many events. He also is ranked in the top 10 nationally.
Vermeer tied for 10th with a 225. The finish marks his fifth top-10 finish in seven tournaments this season.
Kansas will play in the UNC-Charterette Collegiate Classic on March 14 at the Birkdale Golf Club in Huntersville, N.C.
Also for Kansas, sophomore Brad Davis tied for 38th with a 232. Senior Brad Barnett and freshman Andy Stewart each finished with a 238.

Today, the post-Sera begins against none other than Navy.
HARTFORD, Conn. — The last time North Carolina played an NCAA tournament game without Dean Smith as coach was 1959 when the Tar Heels lost to Navy.
CHILLHOCUS
SAN ANTONIO
NCAA first round to match Tar Heels against rival Navy
"We're trying to snap a $22 year losing streak to Navy," said Bill Guth ridge. Smith's longtime
assistant and successor. "We've lost four in a row to them and six of seven."
East Regional play begins
The Associated Press
Today, the post-Smith postseason begins against
The Tar Heels (30-3) come in as the nation's top-ranked team and the No. 1 seed in the East Regional.
I haven't done a lot of the detail things I used to. I delegate that," Guthridge said yesterday when asked the difference in getting ready for the tournament as the man in charge rather than as an assistant. "One thing, I've spent a lot more time with the media than I did as an assistant."
Navy (19-10), the Patriot League champion, has a 14-5 advantage in the series with North Carolina. The team's last win was in the first round of the 1959 tournament when the Tar Heels were coached by Frank McGuire. Smith took over in 1961, went on to become the winningest coach in the history of college basketball and sent North Carolina on a streak of 23 straight NCAA appearances.
And that could affect his relationship with the man he sat beside for 30 years on the North Carolina bench.
"Dean Smith is the greatest coach of all time, and I enjoyed every moment with him." Guthridge said. "I'm just trying to continue what he did. I'm just trying to be Bill Guthridge, not Dean Smith. He recruited these players, and he trained me."
"I talked to Dean last night as he was getting ready to go to New York to work in the studio (for CBS)." Guthridge said. "I'm a little hesitant to talk to him because he's with the media now."
Among those players is Antawan Jamison, the leading vote-getter on the AP All-America team.
Jamison was slowed in last weekend's ACC tournament by a groin injury, but he still was named MVP, averaging 20.7 points and 11.3 rebounds while shooting 55 percent.
Guthridge made it 24.
THERE ARE 64 TEAMS, BUT ONLY ONE
"He makes the game look so easy," said DeVoe, who has taken the Midshipmen to the tournament in consecutive years for the first time since the David Robinson era. "Jamison just kind of glides around the court. When he decides to turn it on, he can and can make those spectacular plays. The thing I like most about him is his aggressiveness on the boards. He's relentless."
"I'm about 100 percent," he said yesterday. "Yesterday (Tuesday), I went full out, and it felt good."
Illinois-Chicago is one of four schools playing in the NCAA tournament for the first time. It is also one of three in the field of 64 from the Midwestern Collegiate Conference, a league not used to such representation.
That cannot be good news for 16th-seeded Navy, which will have Hassan Booker, 6-foot-3, covering the 6-foot-8 Jamison.
"I think we've got to continue to play well," said Jimmy Collins, Flames coach. "History shows that mid-Division I conferences are never going to get the total respect that power conferences get. We've got to continue to play well and show everyone that we're on the rise."
UIC (22-5) is led by MCC player of the year Mark Miller, who averaged 20.1 points per game while shooting 41 percent from three-point range.
North Carolina-Charlotte (19-10) is led by forward DeMarco Johnson, who averaged 20.7 points and 9.0 rebounds.
Princeton (26-1) has the best record in the field, and the Tigers go against what may be the hottest team in the tournament. UNLV (20-12) won the Western Athletic Conference title last week by beating Hawaii, Utah, Fresno State and New Mexico in a four-day stretch.
Navy coach Don DeVoe likened Jamison to one of his former players at Tennessee, Dale Ellis.
Michigan State (20-7) comes in off a disappointing quarterfinal loss to Minnesota in the Big 10 tournament after having lost to Purdue in its regular-season finale.
In the other game in today's afternoon doubleheader at the Hartford Civic Center, No. 8 North Carolina-Charlotte faces No. 9 Illinois-Chicago. The night doubleheader has No. 5 Princeton against No. 12 UNLV and No. 4 Michigan State against No. 13 Eastern Michigan.
BRASS APPLE
The Spartans have to face state rival Eastern Michigan (20-9), the champions of the Mid-American Conference.

Big 10 ejects referee for call against Knight
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Bob Knight will not have to miss any games. The referee will.
The Indiana coach chose yesterday to pay a $10,000 fine out of his own pocket rather than accept a onegame suspension that would have sidelined him for today's NCAA tournament opener against Oklahoma.
This is the third time in Knight's 27 years at Indiana that he has drawn a fine of at least $10,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct.
"Coach Knight has wide latitude in carrying out his responsibilities but also has an obligation to comply with the letter and spirit of conference standards governing sportsmanlike
conduct," Big 10 commissioner Jim Delany said.
Knight said the university reluctantly agreed to let him to pay the fine to the Big 10.
Knight's decision was announced, and the object of his

wrath was penalized. Referee Ted Valentine was censured by the Big 10 for improperly calling a technical during the Indiana-Illinois game. He will not be allowed to work games
Valentine called three technicals against Knight and ejected the coach during the Feb. 24 game.
The Big 10 gave Knight a choice between a fine or a one-game suspension. When the university appealed the ruling Monday, the Big 10 committee rejected the appeal.
involving Big 10 teams during the nonconference part of the 1998-99 season.
The conference's conduct code prohibits coaches from intentionally inciting participants or spectators to violent or abusive action and publicly and unduly criticizing referees.
Big 10 representatives said the second technical was a mistake because Knight went onto the floor to attend an injured player.
Knight picked up a second technical foul, an automatic ejection, with 9 minutes and 37 seconds left in the second half after Luke Recker was injured.
Illinois' Sergio McClain had grabbed the rim, drawing a technical, and Knight argued that Recker's shot should have counted because of goaltending. Officials correctly ruled that the ball was automatically dead, and it was not goaltending.
Knight was given a technical for leaving the coaching area to check on Recker, who was still on the floor. Valentine then gave Knight a third technical. As Knight left the Assembly Hall floor, he made a point of walking in front of Valentine at midcourt.

Catch-phrase themes keep skit options open
By Jani Kumpula Special to the Kansan
This year's Rock Chalk Revue theme is one of a long line of catchy phrases coined to draw people to the musical variety show. The tradition of a yearly theme began in 1964 with "Lacerated Legends."
What's the secret behind "Two Truths and a Lie?"
"Two Truths and a Lie" was chosen in September by the 21 students and faculty adviser who make up the revue advisory board.
However, despite a meticulous selection process, even members of the advisory board were unsure of the theme's meaning.
"What does it mean?" said John Laing, Shawnee junior and revue promotions coordinator. "I don't know what it means, and I don't think anyone on the advisory board knows what it means."
Laing said that the board began with informal brainstorming and discussed different ideas.
"We would blurt out just about whatever came to our minds, and if enough of us liked it, we would write it up on a board," he said.
Ideas for suggested themes come from a variety of directions, some more unlikely than others.
Kyle Evans, Derby senior and revue executive director, said that last year's theme, "On a Mission."
Evans said that board members also brainstormed before the theme selection meeting. He said that he read a book of clichés last summer in an attempt to come up with different ideas.
was first suggested after a board members heard a roommate use it.
The board considers several hundred proposals. Board members discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each of the suggestions in an effort to narrow the choices.
Laing said the board narrowed its choices to five themes and then voted.
Themes are usually broad and vague. But that's exactly what the board aims for. The goal is a theme allowing for many different interpretations and approaches.
"We don't want to be so constrictive that all the shows are the same." Evans said.
However, the theme should not be too ambiguous. The selection
meetings are, therefore, time consuming. They can take up to four hours because board members struggle to find a balanced theme that is neither too vague nor too restrictive.
"It's not good for the theme to be too open so that we have no control, but you want something where the different groups have room to maneuver," said Andrew Schauder, Green Bay, Wis., senior and revenue executive producer.

Revue chalks up donations

The Rock Chalk Revue could buy 7,000 pizzas from Pizza Shuttle with the profits from the show. Instead, it hopes to donate the $25,000 to the United Way.
This year's goal donation is about 17 percent more than last year's $30,000 donation.
"For example, if someone calls and needs food, we don't just give it to them. We tell them which agency that we've funded that they can go to." Titts said.
"Every year we try to figure out new ways to raise more money. This year we had a drawing for a trip to the Lake of the Ozarks, a free dinner at Teller's and a couple of movie tickets," said Andrew Schauder, Green Bay, Wis., junior and executive producer.
Debbie Titts, United Way office manager, said the donation from last year's show was one of the largest group contributions in Douglas County.
are distributed among the 30 member agencies. Although the United Way does not help people directly, it sends people and money to agencies that need help.
The United Way receives about $900,000 in annual donations.
Ticket sales and program advertisements make up most of the money that the revenue gives to the United Way.
Donations to the United Way
Ticket prices are $10 for Thursday,
$12 for Friday and $15 for Saturday. The Saturday performance is sold out.
"Saturday always sells out the quickest, that's why it is more," Schauder said.
Schauder said that the shows often sold out, and that the ticket prices were set according to demand.
Cash cap makes groups spend less

Limits enforced during notebook selection process
By Jennifer Roush Special to the Kansan
Simple demo tapes were required
Entrepreneurs know that it takes money to make money. But this year, groups that wanted to participate in Rock Chalk Revue had to spend a little less money to get into the show.
Groups could not use color copies in their notebooks or use professional services to record their music.
To reduce spending by organizations not guaranteed a place on the playbill, the revue advisory board set spending limits for notebooks and music presented to judges in November.
of all prospective performers,but the board did not set specific dollar limits.
Revue executive and assistant directors imposed the limit in response to spiraling expenditures by groups trying out for the show.
Kristin Moore, revue business manager and Lawrence senior, said that in previous years, many revue hopefuls had spent as much as $2,000 on recording. Notebooks with color pages and slick production added to the totals.
Performers were unfazed by the changes and said they believed that the quality of the revue would be unaffected by the limits.
"Our house and Sigma Nu spent around $3,000 on our notebook and tape," Mitchell said. "The spending limit isn't a problem at all. It's really been more of a relief. It just puts the smaller organizations on better footing with groups that have more funding, and you don't have to sit around wondering how much you need to spend. It also keeps people from getting taken advantage of in recording studios."
Mike Russell, Pittsburg, Kan., senior and a director for the Delta Chi-Gamma Phi Beta show, said that spending limits forced groups to rely more on their initiative and creativity.
Once a group makes the cut, however, all bets are off. Many living organizations allow for Rock Chalk spending in their yearly budgets. Cast and crew members contribute as well. The revue board sets no spending limits on show supplies.
Aime Mitchell, St. Louis junior, agreed with the new limits. Her sorority, Delta Gamma, tried out for the revue last fall but didn't
make the cut.
Russell estimated that Delta Chi and Gamma Phi Beta spent about $2,000 to get into the revue. Since being selected in November, they have spent between $1,500 and $2,000 for sets, about $1,500 for costumes and about $700 for music.
No color copies could be included in submitted notebooks.

Advisory board fines, rules keep groups on their toes
Jason Pearce
Special to the Kansan
Drinking a Coke, eating a Snickers or coming late to rehearsals is grounds for the Rock Chalk Revue's advisory board to fine participants up to $200.
The actors have been rehearsing at minimum of eight hours a week all semester. If 90 percent of the group is not present at rehearsal the group receives a $200 fine, said Kyle Evans, revue executive director.
The groups also must follow the rules of not eating, drinking or smoking at the rehearsals. These fines range from $50 to $200.
"We need to be rehearsing when we are there." Evans said.
Evans, Derby senior, said most fines that have been collected this year were for attendance. All fine money is donated to the United Way.
"We don't like fining groups, but we have to make sure the rehearsals take place." Evans said.
Danner Evans, director of the Kappa Kappa Gamma and Phi Gamma Delta skit, "Driving Force Destiny," said they had
been fined several times by the revue advisory board.
"The United Way is going to get a lot of money from Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and Phi Gamma Delta fraternity this year," she said.
The Wichita sophomore, who is of no relation to Kyle Evans, said most attendance problems stemmed from early morning practices.
"It is harder to run rehearsals if we don't have people there," she said. "We usually have to teach what they missed."
Kyle Evans said that the groups usually realized after one fine that practices were serious and that they had to be there everyday. He said that the individuals, not the group, usually had to pay for breaking one of the rules.
he said if the groups were having a hard time getting participants to attend practice, then he would have to make sure participants got there.
"Rock Chalk Revue is such a fun experience, and being on the Lied Center stage makes people realize the magnitude of the revue." he said.

have to "activity."
"I do think it's great that they are doing the work, because the work does need to be done, but it shouldn't be, 'I'm doing this to win an award.' It should be done to help the community." Heath said
Emily Heath, Center for Community Outreach co-director and Oskaloosa senior, said that many of the participants looked at fulfilling the hours as punishment or a "have-to" activity.
Hagman said the awards were given based on average hours donated per person, per living organization.
"The community service competition is very competitive, because that's a part where the whole chapter can get involved," said Jennifer Nieva, Pi Beta Phi cast member and Shawnee senior. "The show is the cast. The community service is everyone."
The revue includes paired and non-paired competitions. For the paired competition, one notebook is turned in for both organizations.
"It gives everyone the chance to get involved, not just those chosen to perform," said A.J. Schauder, revenue executive producer and Green Bay, Wis., senior.
The only guideline to earn service points is that the activity not be done for school credit or paid work. The service activities include donating 10 items of clothing, cleaning up local parks or volunteering at the United Way Blood Drive.

Judges choose five best scripts for performance
A panel of professional judges from the Topeka, Lawrence and Kansas City metro areas selected the winners the weekend prior to "In and Out," but the winners were not revealed until the ceremony.
Kyle Evans, Derby senior and executive director for the revue, said that all of the groups performed a segment of their show for the judges prior to the In and Out ceremony.

Left-out groups cope with missing the cut
By Chris Fickett
Special to the Kansan
Rock Chalk Revue was in their blood.
For the women of Delta Gamma and the men of Sigma Nu, the revue was almost an annual occurrence.
in 1993, 1994, 1995, again in 1996 and last year, both Delta Gamma and Sigma Nu made the cut. But not this year.
"There are good points of being left out, because it allows you to concentrate on school." Hansen
this year.
Erin Hansen, Wichita junior and one of the directors for Delta Gamma-Sigma Nu skit this year,
said that the group had mixed feelings about not being chosen for the revue.
said. "But we were disappointed."
Dave Wisely, Lawrence senior and a director for the group, said he was a little disappointed that the sorority-fraternity team was not chosen.
Wisely said one reason he was not disappointed was because the revue was a bonding experience.
"I wasn't really down when it happened," he said. "The way I look at it, it was the best we could do."
"You spend so much time with each other, you can't help but bond with one another," Wisely said. "I felt good that we were able to come together and produce something we thought was really good."
Hansen said that her previous two years in the show were a great experience.
"It's the highlight of your year," she said.
During the years, the show has been the highlight and a let down for other groups, as well. Alpha Gamma Delta participated in the revue in 1993 and 1994, but did not make it into this year's show.
Hansen said that after the theme was announced in September, she and fellow directors Wisely, Aimee Mitchell, Ballwin, Mo., junior. Annessa Staab, Lee's Summit, Mo., junior, and Nick Santos, Wichita sophomore, met every night to
"Any time you put that much effort into something, of course you're going to get let down if you don't make it," said Erin Veazey, Wichita senior and cast member for Alpha Gamma Delta.

Hansen said the ceremony was nerve-racking because each group's hard work culminated on one night
Although the Delta Gamma and Sigma Nu were not selected that night, Hansen said that would not stop the group from trying again.
"We'll do it again next year, that's for sure," Hansen said.

Awards give casts bragging rights
By Benjamin LeClair Special to the Kansan
All five groups performing in this years' Rock Chalk Revue are striving for the same thing: best overall show.
Although nine awards will be given Saturday night after the final act, best overall show is the big one.
So what does it take to win it all?
Danner Evans, Wichita sophomore and co-director of the Kappa Kappa Gamma and Phi Gamma Delta skit, said it was about spunk.
"it's sparkle," she said. "I guess it's the Rock Chalk spunk. You should look like you're having the time of your life."
Those are Danner Evans' crite
ria, but it's actually 16 judges who make the call.
The judging team — comprised of former revue directors, coordinators and local theater teachers — will be divided into two groups. One group of eight will judge on Thursday night, and the remaining eight will judge Friday night's performance. The judges' identities are a secret so revue teams cannot lobby.
This year, the judges will be scattered throughout the Lied Center, unlike previous years when judges sat together.
Kyle Evans, executive director of the Revue and Derby senior, said the change was implemented so a judge would not be influenced by another's reaction.
The judges, all volunteers, rate the acts on a one-to-five scale.
with a five being great and a one being poor.
Kyle Evans said the awards were important, but other things mattered too.
"Having the awards makes it a better show, because it raises the level of competition," he said. "It's important to have fun, but we're also here to help the United Way and Douglas County. I don't think that the awards should get in the way."
What does winning mean besides the Oscar-like trophy handed out? Bragging rights.
Kyle Evans said that winning was certainly a good feeling, but it only lasted so long.
"It's exciting, it's fun and it really gets you going for next year," he said. "But the bragging rights pretty much end when the

new shows get going next year."
Although group awards reflect a team effort, judges also give awards for individual performances.
The individual awards are based upon a combination of singing, acting, stage presence and character development.
Other organizations left off play bill

Special to the Korrae
It's a greek thing
the last year that a group composed entirely of non-greeks made it into Rock Chalk Revue was 1990. said Kyle Evans, revue executive director and Derby senior.
The Association of University Residence Halls and the All-Scholarship Hall Council each entered notebooks this year, but neither group made the cut.
The success of sororites and fraternities may be due to their strong tradition in the revue.
"One of the reasons why other living organizations are at a slight disadvantage is because they don't have the continuity that some of the sororities and fraternities have," said a revue judge, speaking anonymously. "But continuity doesn't matter if it's a good show."
Chris Andersen, a director of the AURH group and Ridgefield, Conn., sophomore, said that it had problems getting people involved because most people from the residence halls had never heard of the revue.
Evans said that the non-greek entries this year were not at a disadvantage because AURH and ASHC had leaders who previously had participated in the revue.
"The first year is a learning experience, and the second-year groups have a better chance," Evans said.
Mariah Neff, Carmel, N.Y., senior, was a director of the ASHC group this year and has helped with entries for the last three years. She said it was frustrating for her group always to be encouraged but never to be rewarded for its efforts.
"We tried to make it as funny as possible, but I guess they didn't
think it was funny enough," Neff said.
Neff said that after the notebooks were judged, she stayed to look at some other groups' notebooks. She was disappointed to find that some of the story lines were similar, something she thought revue directors were supposed to prevent.
"Pretty much we were screwed from the beginning because there was another story a lot like ours," Neff said.
Evans said that the story Neff referred to did not make it into the revue either.
Andersen and Jessica Perkins, revue director from AURH and Apple Valley, Minn., senior, said her group felt that it was treated fairly.
"Some people whine and cry and say it's all rigged," Perkins said. "But we're all judged by the same
process."
Neff said that a lot of the judges had participated in the revenue when they were KU students and were familiar with the show.
"They might have known if they were seeing a greek skek." Neff said.
The revue judge interviewed for this story said that the judges could not identify the living organizations by their performances. He said the judges did not care where participating groups lived as long as the best skirts were in the show.
John Laing, revue promotions coordinator and Shawne junior, said that the main disadvantage for non-greeks was funding. He said that in the past, groups did not have spending limits, but that this year stricter limits leveled the playing field.
"Give them a year or two, and you'll see some non-greeks in the show," Laing said.

Designers say the new fireproof policy has not dried up their creative juices.
"It's a good safety precaution," said Mike Russell, Pittsburg junior and director for the Delta Chi-Gamma Phil Beta show. "I don't think the extra money will hurt us too bad."
Set crews fireproofed their creations with fire retardants that could be applied with a roller, brush or sprayer.

atmosphere.
Besides creating a visually pleasing set, Rock Chalk Revue set designers first have to fireproof their entire structure.
The Delta Delta Delta-Sigma Phi Epsilon show. "All the Wrong Moves," takes place in both a king's court and a forest.
"You can have a simple set, but if you light it well, it will set the tone for the show," Russell said.
"The Show Formerly Known as Prints," presented by Pi Beta Phi and Phi Delta Theta, is set in a newsroom. Several desks will portray an office on the multi-level set. A painted backdrop of a newsroom will also create a newsroom atmosphere.
The set includes a painted backdrop of a king's throne, two cardboard pillars and a wooden staircase. The pillars will be turned around and the backdrop raised during a set change, converting the set into a forest.
We thank you for making the past two months exquisitely sublime.
The set designers for the Alpha Delta Pi-Lambda Chi Alpha show, "Don't Drink the Water." have created a jungle atmosphere with a painted backdrop of trees, plants and mountains. The most extravagant part of the set will be a flowing water fountain.

Costumes outlast revue, college careers

Groups save outfits for future activities, show performances
By Angie Simpson Special to the Kansan
A Rock Chalk Revue costume may last longer than the revue season or even the actors' college careers.
A closet in the basement of the Delta Delta delta holds costumes from years past. They include kings' and queens' outfits and short, gold and silver dresses from a skirt that once mimicked West Side Story.
"They'll be things we use again," said Michele Collins, Kansas City, Mo., junior. She said the sorority could use the costumes for Halloween and serenades.
In most cases, actors do not have to pay for their costumes. Revee costs are included in each house's budget. The money allocated for the show usually is based on the amount spent in previous years. However, the budgets can be adjusted to account for cost overruns.
"I'm sure we could do some rerouting of funds." Collins said. "Hopefully, we won't go over."
Parents have sewn costumes for past shows to lower costs. No one at Delta Delta Delta seemed certain about this year's costume budget .
For members of Sigma Phi Epsilon and Delta Delta Delta, costume preparation started before participant had been selected.
"We had an artist draw them for our notebook," Collins said.
The sketches were taken to a costume shop and fitted for each cast member.
In "All the Wrong Moves," the chorus members from Delta Delta Delta wear long, flowing skirts or gypsy costumes with shorter skirts.
"Before the show, we'll get together and have a big costume party where we'll put the final touches on, like sequins," Collins said.
Not all of the skits had prepared costumes as far in advance.
"Everyone is pretty much on their own," said Holly Mason, Denver senior and Gamma Phi Beta member. "The directors decide what each person is, and they find their costumes from there."
Costumes for some of the skis this year represent golfing, formal functions, police officers and newspaper staffs.

Participants don't sleep like rocks
Tired students say work worth effort,struggle
Eryl Cochran Special to the Kansar
Sleep may take a back burner for students involved in Rock Chalk Revue, but grades do not.
Revue participants spend more than 20 hours a week practicing and working on their shows. Time requirements are set by the revue advisory board, and missed practices can result in fines of as much as $200. Despite these requirements and a few sleep-deprivation hallucinations, participants' say their grade point averages survive unscathed.
"I know some professors who call Rock Chalk a GPA killer, but I've seen it do the
exact opposite," said Chuck Marsh, associate professor of journalism.
Marsh recalled a student who was the revue's promotions director last year and actually accelerated her studies during her participation.
"It was a super internship for her," he said. "She was able to put the skills she would need for the future to work."
Being able to juggle the revue and grades requires time management skills.
"It depends on the person. There are people who don't have class until later on in the afternoon, and they will sleep until class," said Chris Jones, Overland Park junior and Phi Delta Theta's director. "In my position, you have to wake up and take that three hours to work."
The hours participants sacrifice to keep school a priority come from their sleep.
But Jones does admit that homework sometimes could be neglected.
"You miss some assignments, but in general school takes priority," Jones said.
Matt Haverkamp, Shawnee Mission junior and Lambda Chi Alpha's director, said that the last three days before his group turned in their notebooks, they sometimes stayed up until 5 a.m.
"It requires more hours and less sleep." Haverkamp said.
The revue starts in September and runs through March. Those sleepless nights can add up to sleep deprivation.
Tim Brownlee, office manager in health promotion and education at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said, "Sleep deprivation affects a person's ability to communicate and ability to concentrate."
Brownlee said that if someone went long enough without sleep, they could eventually experience hallucinations.
Many participants think sleepless nights are worth the pain because the revue gives them the opportunity to do what they have never done before and might never do again-be a star.
"Normal college kids, probably 50 percent to 99 percent of whom are not film or theater majors, get to be in a production in front of 1,000 students at the Lied Center, which is the nicest concert hall in Lawrence, if not Kansas City," Jones said.
Participants write songs, create and draw characters, make costumes, choreograph lighting and dance routines and build sets and scenery.
Chris Crago, Olathe senior and film major, said, "It sounds like they are doing exactly what the film students do. The only difference is, our's is for school and their's is extracurricular."
Rock Chalk Revue romances bloom for directors and show participants
Bv Julie Eberle
Special to the Kansan
As Rock Chalk Revue opening night nears and as practices intensify, friendships and flirtations develop into romances.
Lots of affectionate relationships and a few short-lived hookups have blossomed, cast members say.
"I think it's that way with every house," said Kelly Spehar, Lenexa junior and member of Delta Delta Delta sorority. "You start hanging out together outside of practice and you are bound to build friendships and sometimes romances. I was in it my freshman year, and as we hung out more, a lot more people got involved."
"A lot of one-night-stands, but I haven't had one, and it's kind of upsetting me," said Justin Jones, Omaha junior and member of Sigma Phi Epsilon. "I was hoping for more romance, but we'll see."
For the revue actors, a common bond usually produces sexual chemistry.
Since members practice together seven days a week, pair-up possibilities abound. Even though many people have significant others outside of the revue, that doesn't stop cast members from becoming affectionate.
Renee Plumlee, Cupertino, Calif., senior and Pi Beta Phi director, said that if two actors had complementary personalities, it helped their acting.
"It isn't like any of us are professionals, but if you are a lead role and you have to act like you love someone, it's going to help the role if they really do love each other," he said.
"If two people are in a scene
Jones said that there were instances in the past in which cast romances had developed and then ended before the actual show.
together and they end up dating, then I guess we did a good job pairing them up," she said.
"I've seen times where it can work detrimentally," he said. "It can be a source of tension."
Chris Jones, Prairie Village junior and Phi Delta Theta director, agreed.
ship. When two people act together in a scene and really get to know each other, their romance is more likely to last beyond Rock Chalk, Jones said.
"There's the kind when you see each other every day and you say, 'I think he's cute or she's cute,' and it's a physical thing," he said. "Those never last."
But whether these Rock Chalk romances last depends on the nature of the relationdirectors for the Delta Delta Delta and Sigma Phi Epsilon skit, said she used her talents as a soloist to improve productions.
The fact that participants meet in a social setting other than class or a bar also affects the duration of the relationship.
“It’s weird.” Jones said. I think the reason people get together is because when you get together in a non-drinking setting, it changes the nature of the relationship. You actually get to know a girl."

Friendships make revue fun
Special to the Kansan
Maggie Heek made 45 instant friends when she walked onto her Rock Chalk Revue set.
The Lawrence sophomore is one of seven directors for the Pi Beta Phi and Phi Delta Theta skit.
Although she has been involved in music for the last 10 years, Heck had no experience in theater and production before the revue. She said that she leaped at the chance to work in theater and found that directing the skit has brought unexpected benefits besides expanding her social circle.
"It's taught me time-management skills." Heck said.
Directors from the skis were nominated last spring by their respective fraternity and sorority chapters. They have been directing the skis since before they were chosen for the revue.
Chris Jones, another director for the Pi Beta Phi and Phi Delta Theta skit, said he thought that directing was a chance to combine his talents with six other people and also satisfy a passion.
"I've got an obsession with Broadway plays," said Jones, Prairie Village junior.
Mike Russell, Pittsburgh senior and one of six directors for a skit combining Delta Chi and Gamma Phi Beta, welcomed the chance for redemption after directing a skit that failed to make the revue last year.
"I just love to be creative," Russell said.
Directing skits involves a collaborative effort, tapping into the individual skills of the directors.
Michelle Collins, Olathe junior, and one of five
"I'm the enforcer," she said. "I make sure everybody keeps in tune."
Chris Murray, Omaha, Neb., senior and a Sigma Phi Epsilon director, uses his writing skills to improve the production.
"I'm most involved with revising scripts and lvries," he said.
The directors said that keeping the cast focused during daily rehearsals could be a challenge.
Methods for sustaining the casts' interest include exchanging gifts with a secret friend every week and motivational talks to elevate souls.
Stephen Jones, Dallas senior and director for the Phi Gamma Delta and Kappa Kappa Gamma skit admitted that there were nights that concentration wavered.
"For every one of those nights, there have been three or four nights that are great," he said.
The directors can have a difficult time juggling their lives as directors and students. Cate Pugh, Wamego junior and one of seven directors for the Alpha Delta Pi and Lambda Chi Alpha skit, said that directing permeated other aspects of her life as well.
"It takes over your mind when you should be doing homework," she said.
Despite all of the headaches involved in directing, the consensus is that the effort is worth it, especially with proceeds going to the United Wav
Russell said, "It's icing on the cake that it goes to a good cause."

Hoax evolves into success story
Special to the Kansan
What began as a boat in 1949 forever changed the fate of the variety show that benefits the Douglas County United Way.
By Brad Hallier
In the fall of 1949, KU student Roy Wonder came up with the idea for Rock Chalk Revue, but the show stirred little interest at the University. Wonder got Ross Miller, a student at Kansas State and director of a similar Wildcat show, to write a prank letter to the University Daily Kansan, complaining that the University of Kansas was stealing his idea, naming the song Y-orpheum.
KU students rallied to defend Wonder and his new idea, and the show was off and running.
Before the first show in 1950,
organizers changed the name from Y-Orpheum to Rock Chalk Revue. KU student Kathleen Larsen was the winner of a name the show contest and won a $10 prize.
The reue carries a big following today, mainly from the greek system.
The first revue was April 1, 1950, in Hoch auditorium, and admission was 50 cents.
Since 1975, only one non greek organization has made the revue. A group of students from scholarship halls performed in 1990.
In 1965, non-greek students questioned the selection process. Kay Whittaker, who was director of the Lewis Hall skit that did not make the revue that year, said she thought that the lack of independent group participation was a problem. She questioned whether groups were chosen based on talent or simply the students' opinions of who they liked.
The revue always appears to have had an impact on its participants. Floyd Thomas Jr., participant in the 1968 replay as a member of Pi Kappa Alpha said, "Everyone considered it one of the most prestigious events a fraternity or sorority could do."
The revue has had its share of controversy throughout the years. In 1962, Kappa Sigma and Delta Delta Delta performed a skit called "Medea." The skit was investigated for the possibility of being taken from the original play, "Medium Rare." Although the investigation never resulted in any action, some said that the
skit plagiarized the play almost verbatim.
In 1985, three fraternities combined for one skit. Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Epsilon Pi, a traditionally Jewish fraternity, and Kappa Alpha Psi, a traditionally African-American fraternity made the final cut, and the usual all-white revue had a slightly new look.
The performance would have been only the second time an African-American fraternity had participated, but before the revue, Kappa Alpha Psi dropped out.
Halie Sims, Kappa Alpha Psi member, said members didn't anticipate the amount of time needed for practice.

In addition to their duties, all members must put together a notebook of information, advice and tips for next year's staff members to help the next year move more smoothly.
Each April, the Rock Chalk Revue staff positions are filled and many people commit themselves to a year of hours of work and various duties to make the revue a possibility.
Although the executive staff is paid, the remainder of the staff participates on a volunteer basis.
The executive staff is paid depending on the amount of time each position
requires.
Mike Cain, senior adviser, said that the financing for paychecks came from a portion of the funds raised throughout the year, including revenue ticket sales, alumni donations, advertisements in the show's programs and corporate sponsors. Corporate sponsors pay about $4,000 for the year, and sponsors' logos appear on all revue advertisements, including posters and programs.
Cain said he did not consider the payments as wages because the students only were paid one sum at the end of the year.
However, there is a catch.
"We like to think of the payment more as a scholarship because their time is taken away from study time," he said.
"We don't get paid until we turn in the notebook at the end of the year," said Kyle Evans, executive director. "But we don't really do it for the money. It's worth it because it's so fun. A lot of it is for community service."
Evans also said that the staff members liked getting involved and helping Douglas County by putting together the show as well as performing in various service activities.
"We're all college students from Generation X. We're the ones that people think just sit on our butts," he said. "But we get out there and help and try to make a difference."

Activists steal the show at Revue
Shouted protests get man arrested
By Marc Sheforgen msheforgen@kansan.com
Kanson staff writer
Shouted accusations of racism, sexism and exploitation of indigenous peoples interrupted the first skit of last night's 49th annual Rock Chalk Revue.
Michael Linde, Lawrence resident, was arrested and escorted from the balcony of the Lied Center after standing up and shouting. "This is horse crap. This is exploitation. I am ashamed of this. Check your hearts. Is this what America is all about?"
Linde was one of about 100 students, Lawrence residents and others who gathered outside of the Lied Center to protest "Don't Drink the Water," a skit by Alpha Delta Pi andLambda Chi Alpha.
Protesters wrapped themselves in tribal flags, held signs denouncing the event and played drums to call attention to what they considered to be a disrespectful performance.
The skit, set in a jungle with a tribal theme, offended members of the University of Kansas' Native American Student Association. The association thought the skit portrayed indigenous people as primitive.
Linde commented briefly before
being escorted away in a KU police car. He was charged with disorderly conduct and interference with a public official or building.
"There's a genocide happening here," he said. "To have native peoples dealt with in that fashion was completely disrespectful. It was unacceptable. I think all of the white people should have stood up and walked out. People of all races should not abide by that."
The protesters, gathering in the sub-freezing weather, said they found the skit's material to be in poor taste. Such material included what protesters thought to be sexual references to indigenous women.
Elyse Towey, president of the Native American Student Association and organizer of the protest, said she was pleased with the turnout but questioned the minds of the people it aimed to affect.
Towey called Haskell Indian Nations University to inform students of the protest yesterday at about 4:30 p.m. Haskell officials announced the news in residence halls and the cafeteria, and supplied van rides for any students who wanted to participate in the protest. By 6:30 p.m., several Haskell students had arrived at the Lied Center.
"Unfortunately, the people that we're talking to are of the colonial mindset." she said.
Jean Wagner, student body president at Haskell, said despite the short notice, the students of her
school performed admirably.
"I think if we would have had more time, we would have gotten the whole campus here," Wagner said.
The skit's performers did not feel the skit was in any way offensive. They said there certainly was no
intent to put down indigenous people.
"We never intended any malicious intent with this show," said Cate Pugh, Wamego junior and one of the skit's writers.
the performers worked to change parts of the skit after the
Native American Student Association and the Black Student Union complained earlier this week.
The group eliminated the use of headdresses and references to tribal chiefs, and thought the new version of the skit was in no way offensive.
Moore unveils The Big One at screening
Filmmaker targets corporations. Coca-Cola during Lawrence visit
By Jeremy M. Doherty and Marcelo Vilela mvilela@kansan.com jdoherty@kansan.com Kansan staff writers
Documentary filmmaker Michael Moore encouraged students to act politically during a day-long visit to Kansas City and Lawrence yesterday.
the director, a well-known foe of corporate business, first spoke
with a group of 15 journalists at the Ritz Carlton in Kansas City, Mo. Later in the afternoon, he traveled to Lawrence for a screening of his new documentary The Big One and fielded questions from about 300 University students and Lawrence residents at Dickinson Theatre, 2339 Iowa.
Moore, who personally visits companies and criticizes their heavy downsizing, said he wondered why he seemed to be fighting
corporate America alone with his movies.
"Why is it always a schlep in a ball cap like me who's going into these places?" he said. "Why isn't the business press or the Kansas City Star doing it? It represents a failure of the media."
Moore, who visited Lawrence two years ago, said he was happy to be back.
"I like Lawrence," Moore said. "I told everybody what a cool place Lawrence was. Mostly cool."
Moore spoke with the audience for about 30 minutes, mentioning his experiences with censored segments of his early 1990s program

Moore: Urged students to act politically
TV Nation. He said TV Nation would be returning as soon as he found a national network. He also touched on the O.J. Simpson and Monica Lewinsky incidents.
Moore said big corporations did not
feel threatened by his movies because they assumed the movies
would not affect audiences.
"If you start to act politically, this type of film will become a threat," he said. "Please, leave here and do something. You can't be an spectator. Democracy means participation."

Bestselling children's book helps jester find his jingle
Borders Books and Music, 700 New Hampshire St., will honor the work of late children' s author David Saltzman tomorrow.
Saltzman's mother, Barbara Saltzman,
will read her son's besteller, The Jester
Has Lost His Jingle, at 2 p.m. and will
autograph copies afterward.
Saltzman said the book had been surprisingly popular with college students and it often was used in children's literature courses at universities and colleges nationwide.
"David was a college student at Yale when he wrote it," Saltzman said of her son, who died in 1990 of Hodgkin's disease at the age of 22. "The book reinforces how life should be cherished, lived and enjoyed."
The book follows the adventures of a court jester, who sets off on a journey to discover why a grumpy mood has infected the people of his kingdom.
Since its publication in 1995, The Jester Has Lost His Jingle has sold more than 200,000 copies, placing high on the best seller lists of The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times and USA Today.

Poet to speak at museum about Black arts movement
The director of the African American Resource Center at Howard University in Washington D.C. will be speaking at the University of Kansas this weekend.
E. Ethelbert Miller will speak about the Black arts movement. The speech will take place at 1 p.m. tomorrow in the Spencer Museum of Art. The free event, "A Reexamination of the Black Arts Movement of the 1960s," is open to the public.
Miller, an award winning poet, will focus on the contributions of people such as Malcolm X, Nikki Giovanni and Sonia Sanchez. He also will talk about how the movement is linked between today's African-American literary and cultural trends.
Laura Yamhure, Falls Church, Va., graduate student was instrumental in bringing Miller to the University. She said it was a special experience for the University to be able to hear Miller speak.
"It's really unique to have a scholar and poet talk about his experiences," she said. "He has so much to offer, there has to be something for everyone to walk away with."
The event is sponsored by the Office of Minority Affairs, Multicultural Resource Center and Student Senate.

SUA seeks local bands to play Day On The Hill
Student Union Activities is searching for band locals to play on Dav On The Hill.
The deadline for entering a demo tape for consideration for the May 2 festival is today.
John Orcutt, Hutchinson senior and SUA live music coordinator, said SUA already had registered about 60 entries. He said many of the entries came from regional bands, but local bands were welcome to enter.
"We haven't had as many local entries as we wanted." Orcutt said. "We will probably have three local bands and a national one. If we have extra money, we will have two local bands and two national ones."
In addition to SUA's selection process, KJHK is throwing the Farmer's Ball on April 21, 22 and 24 at the Bottleneck.
The band that wins at the Farmer's Ball will be the opening act for Day On The Hill. The deadline for Farmer's Bail entries is April 1.
Orcutt said SUA could not specify how
much each band would be paid to play, because SUA had not contacted Day On The Hill co-sponsors yet. Last year, each band received $100.
"Mostly, it's a huge honor to play at Day On The Hill," Orcutt said. "It's a great recognition factor."
Orcutt said SUA still was searching for national bands to headline the event.

Puppy brings rabies to horse show in Wichita
WICHITA — A pet puppy brought to an exhibitor's hoat at a horse trade show had rabies, and health officials are urging anyone who touched it to contact a doctor.
The 9-week-old puppy—a mixed breed named Maggie that resembled a black Labrador retriever—was at the booth during Equifest, the industry trade show. The puppy's owners were working at the booth
More than 10,500 people from Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, Iowa, Nebraska, Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin and New Mexico attended the four-day event at the Kansas Coliseum. Thousands were also at the Coliseum for the state high school wrestling tournament.
State and local officials have received calls from people who believe they may have had contact with the puppy, but by yesterday, no one had shown signs of infection. Chances are slight that people at the Colleum will be infected, said Roger Smith. Wichita's animal-control supervisor.
But people who touched the puppy — which was at the event only on Feb. 28 and possibly Feb. 27 — need to talk with their doctors because rabies is almost 100 percent fatal, Sedgwick County and Wichita health officials said.
Health officials learned of the possible exposure after the puppy was tested for rabies because it bit a veterinarian in Sedgwick County March 5. Five people at the Blair Doon Veterinary Clinic are being treated for rabies exposure.
"A number of people stopped and looked, played with and petted the puppy." Smith said. "The puppy could have very well been communicable at that time."
Fighter crew may face manslaughter charges
WORLD
AVIANO, Italy — The crew of a Marine flight jet that flew fast and low through the Italian Alps may face manslaughter charges for killing 20 people in a cable car, the Marines said yesterday. The U.S. ambassador apologized and knelt in prayer at the site where the people died.
An Italian prosecutor said he would continue his investigation of the accident, but, in general, Italians seemed satisfied with American assurances the Marines would face a punishment in the United States.
A Marine investigation board placed the blame yesterday squarely on the four-man crew, who they said broke the rules on how fast and how low they could fly.
Their commanding officer said he would convene the military equivalent of a criminal grand jury.
"The cause of the mishap was aircrew error," Maj. Gen. Michael P. DeLong, president of the investigation board, told reporters at the U.S. air base in Aviano.
The EA-6B Prowler severed two of the ski lift cables, sending a gondola with 19 skiers from six countries and the operator to their deaths on the snowy slopes.

"They don't want you to have a choice," he said. "You will drink Coca-Cola only."
with Coca-Cola, he said the University had become a Soviet-type of institution.
Moore called public education despotic, and said students should have more of a say on how schools are managed.
Moore moved on to speak about the monopolies formed in corporate America. He said, for example, one in every two books was sold by Borders or Barnes and Nobles.
"It's not safe for a country when we have two chains controlling the information that we can read," he said.
"The most important thing schools teach you are the three C's," Moore said. "Consistency, complacency and conformity; Whatever you do, don't rock the boat."
Although Moore's best-selling book and his new movie were released by major corporations, he said success had not softened the satirical perspective in his work.
"I'm angry all the time," he said. "The humor is the flipside of the anger."
The audience provided the filmmaker with an enthusiastic reception following the screening, clapping and laughing after most, if not all, of Moore's remarks.
Students said they were impressed with Moore's message, but they would have preferred a more appropriate venue.
"I would have preferred if it would have been in the Lied," said Sarah Geissler, Denver sophomore. "They would be able to fill the Lied Center since people are interested in this. I don't care about Rock Chalk."
David Beahm, Great Bend sophomore, said it was ironic Rock Chalk Revue was being presented at the Lied Center on the same night in which Moore was speaking. Beahm said what Moore had to say was more relevant to students.
"He really encouraged the audience to get involved," Beahm said. "I love his cynical humor. He inspired me to get more active."
Moore gained national recognition with his 1989 documentary Roger and Me. The film, which chronicled the closing of the General Motors auto plant in Flint, Mich., was followed by his TV news magazine, TV Nation and his best-selling book, "Downsize This!' The Big One, his new film, will be released in April.
Moore returned to Kansas City, Mo., last night for a benefit screening of The Big One at the Tivoli Theatre in Westport Square. Proceeds will go toward the K.C. Anti-Censorship Association.

Outburst interrupts Rock Chalk
By Carl Kaminski
ckaminski@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
As protesters gathered outside the Lied Center last night, the 49th Annual Rock Chalk Revue opened.
"We cannot control what goes on outside, but inside we are going to give everyone a really great show," said John Laing, Rock Chalk Revue promotions coordinator.
And that was the case, until the end of the first show, the controversial production, "Don't Drink the Water," put on by Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity and Alpha Delta Pi sorority.
Before the group's final dance, Michael Linde, Lawrence resident, stood up in the balcony and shouted to the crowd the show was racist and degraded Hawaiian culture. He asked students to walk out.
After he would not leave, he was arrested for disorderly conduct, said University of Kansas Police Capt. Vic Sternad.
Shortly after that, two more women stood up from the balcony and shouted the show was racist and sexist. They left on their own and were not arrested. Sterndal said.
There was a mixed reaction to the outburst inside. Many students yelled for the protesters to be quiet. Others applauded.
Jeff Coleman, Salina junior, said although he did not think the show was racist, he could understand why people found it insensitive.
Although he was not offended, Coleman did not find the skit amusing.
"It was sort of a Disney take on the whole thing." he said.
Another student had a different take on the show. Alexa Wolf, "Tuscon, Ariz., sophomore, said she did not understand why the first skit was considered offensive.
"I really thought that guy was out of line," she said, referring to the outburst. "This was my first Rock Chalk, and I didn't know what to expect, but I thought it was really great."
During the Revue's intermission, awards were given to several living organizations for the community service hours they donated to the United Way and other Douglas County non-profit organizations.
Gold, silver, and bronze awards were given to organizations based on the number of service hours per person. Gold awards were presented to groups who had 13 hours or more, silver to groups with 11 hours, and bronze for 9 hours. Groups with less than 9 hours received honorable mentions.
The image depicts a group of performers in traditional Hawaiian attire, including hula skirts and trunks, engaged in a dance. The performers are positioned on a stage with a backdrop that features a serene ocean scene. One individual is playing a drum, while others are dancing or standing with their hands raised. The expressions and poses suggest they are conveying emotions or themes related to the performance. The text "KAIKA" is visible at the bottom left corner of the image.
Rob Hagman, Rock Chalk community service director, said this year's total community service hours were slightly less than last year's because of strict restrictions on what counted as community service.
This year, participating living groups had to benefit a specific group or organization. They could not just spend an hour cleaning up Potter's Lake, Haagman said.
"We're trying to run a tight ship," he said.
Official totals will be announced during tomorrow's performance, and Hagman said this year's Rock Chalk has earned more than $40.000.
"This has been a big year," Hagman said. "I'm not exactly sure what we did right."
He said the business managers did a great job this year.
Tomorrow's show has sold out and sales for the last night's show were better than usual, said Kristin Moore, Rock Chalk business manager. She also said there are only 50 tickets left for tonight's show.

Dole Institute proposal postponed
Legislators want more information
By Brandon Copple
bcopple@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Kansas legislators want to know more about the Robert J. Dole Institute for Public Service and Public Policy, and until they do, the institute will not receive any state money.
A House subcommittee last Friday postponed decision on Gov. Bill Graves' recommended appropriation of $3 million for the Dole Institute.
Rep. Mike Farmer, R-Wichita, subcommittee chairman, said yesterday the subcommittee's intent was to include the Dole Institute in the omnibus spending bill — legislation that includes all financing for state operations — toward the end of the session.
"Our intent was to hold off until we could take a better look at the funding mechanisms," he said. "We just don't have enough information at this point."
The institute will be financed by private donations in addition to any state money approved by the Legislature.
Burdett Loomis, professor of political science and the Dole Institute's interim director, said the KU Endowment Association already had raised about $2.5 million in private funds. Building cost is estimated at $6 million.
One subcommittee member, Rep. John Edmonds, R-Great Bend, said the institute should be financed entirely by private donations.
"Everybody is in agreement that something appropriate should be done for Bob Dole and his papers," Edmonds said. "He is a very popular figure, so they ought to be able to raise the money easier than with most projects."
Edmonds also said using state funds for the institute would set a
bad precedent.
"When Sen. Brownback retires, are we going to ask the taxpayers to set up a library for him?" he said.
At a subcommittee meeting last month, Edmonds questioned Chancellor Robert Hemenway about the University's use of public funds in urging citizens to write legislators in support of a bill to reorganize the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Yesterday, Edmonds said he was satisfied no public funds had been used in lobbying for the Med Center bill. He said his concerns about the Med Center bill were not related to the withholding of funds for the Dole Institute.
"Bob Dole has given us a historic set of documents and other material," Loomis said. "It strikes me that it would be a perfectly appropriate expenditure of state funds, for the library and especially for the institute and the programs, which could be a real asset for the state of Kansas."
Loomis said he and other University officials would be willing to answer any questions legislators had about the institute.

Once completed, the Dole Institute will house documents from Dole's 27 years in Congress. The institute will sponsor forums for national, state and local policy discussions and will conduct programs to educate elected officials and the public about policy issues.
Construction of the institute should begin in spring 1999. The institute will be just west of the Lied Center.

'Rape lots' at residence halls need better lighting, security
It is outrageous that any woman who arrives at her residence hall after 11 p.m., when most parking lots are full, has only the option of parking in a place commonly called the "rape lot."
Yet students at Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall and Daisy Hill residence halls must do so.
Women at these residence halls have designated three parking lots as "rape lots" because of the unsafe feeling that many of them have there.
This is an atrocity, and the University of Kansas should change it.
At GSP-Corbin, one rape lot is a gravel-paved lot north of 11th and Indiana streets that has inadequate lighting. The other is northeast of GSP-Corbin next to Ohio Street. It is out of the way of passers-by and the lighting
Despite statistics, if students feel unsafe walking from car to home, changes are needed
also is insufficient.
The Daisy Hill rape lot is the west end of the lot in front of Lewis Hall, which is far from the halls and poorly lit.
Some students who park in such lots fear for their safety during the walk from their car to their residence halls. With all the things students have to worry about, safety on campus should not be one of them.
Sgt. Chris Keary, KU office of public safety, said that most rapes and assaults on campus occur inside the residence halls or in Jayhawker Tow-
ers.
Although there may not have been rapes in the rape lots, KU students, particularly women, can feel unsafe and vulnerable because of the isolation and poor lighting. When this is the case, statistics do little to give a feeling of security. The University should provide safe surroundings in which students can feel secure.
The University should provide more blue phones, better lighting, and more frequent KU police patrols in these lots. The proposed escort program is another solution that would increase students' sense of security and safety. Until then, students will continue to look over their shoulders, peer into the dark, and hope they make it home unharmed.

University should have had snow dav
The University of Kansas should reexamine its class cancellation policy.
Sunday's snow storm layered sidewalks and stairs on campus with ice, making them slippery and dangerous. Sidewalks were unsalted. Streets were un-shoveled. And students were forced to brave the elements for the sake of salvaging their last excused absences.
The University was the only acade mic institution in Lawrence, Topeka and Kansas City to have classes Monday. March 9. The administration said that college students are mature enough to make their own decisions about whether to go to classes or to stay at home because it was too dangerous.
Such reasoning would be appreciated if the University regularly treated its
Having class Monday was irresponsible, risked safety of students, faculty, staff
students like mature adults. However, in many classes students can miss class no more than three times before their grade drops a letter. Perhaps if the University gave each student the opportunity to choose his own attendance policy all the time, students would be more supportive of the administration's decision Monday.
Students were not the only ones who risked life and limb for the administration. Pressing on through environmental adversity for the sake of students' academic excellence, faculty and
staff went on campus, taught their classes and did their jobs. The administration asked its professors and teaching assistants to risk icy demise because the University did not want to deny its student body a learning opportunity.
Although learning is important, the safety of students, staff and faculty is more important. When the wind chill is in the negative degrees, when people are slipping down icy stairs and when every other school in the area deems the weather dangerous enough for a snow day, class at the University should not be in session. The administration should reevaluate what it considers to be a snow day, consider the safety of all, and be a little more responsible in the future.

things on fire. I didn't know the fact that they had nothing better to do with their time than light things on fire or the fact that I had nothing better to do than watch them.
Regardless, I knew that in the long run they were the losers in this situation because some, if not all of them, are running for Student Senate.

matters" letters to The University DailyKansan right this second. Read this before you complain.
The largest indicator that students don't care about Senate is voter turn-out. Last year was a fairly successful year and only 15 percent of students voted. More students attended the Kansas-Pella Windows basketball game this year.
I contend that students are at the University to receive an education. A KU graduate will get a job because of what she learned in classes, internships and her personality. Whether she was a Student Senator is worth next to nothing.
Seven years from now being a Senator won't be important at all. The friendships might still exist, but whether you voted to lower the drinking age won't matter at all. Just like it doesn't matter now if you were homecoming king in high school.
The world beyond the University doesn't function like Student Senate. After you've graduated and you have the desire to give money to the Kansas Union, that money comes directly out of your pocket and your pocket alone. You can't decide to force other people to give money. To get that to happen you'd have to hold a gun to a lot of people's heads or be a politician. I
hope and pray that you have more sense than that.
Further, I bet that the Center for Community Outreach helps more people, more effectively, than Student Senate. I would say the same for the non-traditional student organization OAKS, Hilltop Daycare center or the International Student Association.
If at enrollment time every KU student filled out a form and checked-off what groups received their money and how much then there'd be no need for the Senate Finance committee and virutally no need for Student Senate. It'd be a lot more efficient and meetings on Wednesday nights would be considerably shorter.
I understand that Student Senate votes to give supplemental funding to these groups, and I'm not arguing that this funding isn't worthwhile.
The tactics that coalitions use to get elected are humiliating. I pulled up Netscape on a computer in Budig Hall and someone had changed the preference page to a coalition's homepage. I checked other computers, and they were also set to the coalition's homepage. People go to the computer lab to do work or check their e-mail, not to have elections shoved down their throats.
But Student Senate isn't needed for these groups to exist.
If you want to show concern for campus, take my advice and use your talents somewhere besides Student Senate.
Finally, the cover of the Kansan the other day showed the opposing coalition picking up trash. Just to let the coalition know, this is fooling no one. Picking up trash will cease once the election is over, if it hasn't already, and the campus will return to the way that it was.
Student Senate isn't going to change the world. If you're running for Senate, get out while you still can and use your free time on Wednesday nights to do something a lot more worth your time.
I'd also argue that this is a campaign violation because I did not ask for this information to be supplied to me. If it applies to candidates' behavior on sidewalks, it should apply to computers in Budig Hall.

Respect, not tolerance is key to human survival
a distinct habitat for understanding and perception of ourselves, as well as each other. Through these perceptions we subconsciously stratify our society. What does it mean to be an American citizen as we head toward the 21st century? I contend, it parallels that of Roman citizenship, during the height of Augustus Caesar's reign, with one outstanding exception. The evolutionary process has granted us tolerance.

ance of respect. Respect, In the proper context, is a powerful word. It possesses the capability to begin and end action. It is the epitome of agreeing to disagree. For us, as college students, our backgrounds are fairly similar. Although not all, but most, have a foundation of respect for the virtue that we all share. Past this point, respect is gained or lost through action and intent. At least, this is the way it should be transferred. Unfortunately, preceived notions, about an individual's disposition, dictates judgment. This becomes evident in our classes, social life and daily interactions. As humans, we love to label. Everyone must be associated or categorized in order for us to judge. Respect should be based on personal merit and character.
Race, ethnicity, religion and culture are the embs that boil our melting pot. Diversification has catapulted our nation to stardom. This country was built with hands from foreign lands. Fortunately, thanks to our steadfast Constitution, we have no choice but to tolerate or violate law. Some claim that this is enough to live in comfort. I submit that it falls short of our capabilities. Our
America is a strangely beautiful place. We've already accomplished more than any other civilization in history, and we have done it together. As the future leaders, decision-makers and participants of this nation, I plead to your heightened sense of reason. There remains so much left to be done. If we can make the move from tolerance to respect, we shall conquer. If not, the stress fractures in our dam will give way and drown the progress of our little river valley town. It is up to us to create the detail and envision the bigger picture.
current system is stable, but why remain complace? There are obvious stress fractures in our dam and our little river valley town is in danger.
Holsman is an Overland Park senior in political science and history.
What about respect for the true public servants? Have you ever gone out at 4 a.m. to thank your garbage man for a job well done? Society preconceives this job as filthy, blue-collar work. Why do you suppose garbage men work from 3 to 8 a.m.? They are scheduled these hours so the upstanding people don't have to witness waste being removed. Let these workers skip a month, and watch suburbia become an unsanitized landfill. Think about how healthy that would be for our children. Each garbage man, or woman, is an American who pays taxes, raises children and works hard at a job that you and I would never wish to do. Yet, everyday we take them for granted and tolerate the status quo. Imagine what a respectful "thank you" would do for the morale of these hard-working Americans. The few seconds you spend on saying it would impact an entire day.
Everyday we engage in interaction with another person. Some may be significant and some may not. Either way, it is the mindset in which you approach the situation that determines how you feel when you leave. When you've gone to the gas station or supermarket and a tolerant employee doesn't leave a lasting impression, give a respectful smile and brighten an individual's afternoon. I know this example sounds trivial, but it is the details that define the bigger picture.
Feedback
Kape article tactless and irresponsible
This letter is in response to the "Freshman allegedly raped by three men" article printed March 10,1998. This story had no business on the front page of The University Daily Kansan. A little more discretion would have been appropriate. I can't imagine
going through such a tremendously horrific experience, finding the courage to report it, then finding it, in great detail, on the front page of a newspaper. This woman's feelings obviously were not considered. I realize the point of the newspaper is to get the story and print it; however, I think a little tact could have been used.
The account of the incident wasasteless. People wonder why, if so many rapes happen, they aren't reported. Maybe it's because after enduring such a traumatic, degrading experience, they don't want one of the worst moments of their lives publicized for people to read about.

Storm season is on the horizon
Precautions needed to prevent injuries
Cammi Heimann Special to the Kansan
Stay indoors. Go to the lowest floor of the building. Stay in interior hallways. Keep away from exterior doors and windows.
University students, faculty and staff may overlook the on-campus neon-green signs bearing these instructions. However, as Kansas enters the severe weather season, these instructional signs may take on a little more meaning.
Rick Nightingale, assistant director of Facilities Operations, said the severe weather signs were University policy and were added to the inside entrances and halls of all University buildings in March 1995. The signs were recommended by the state fire marshal. The loud neon green color of the signs also was suggested by the fire marshal.
"The signs are hideous," Nightingale said. "We got all kinds of flack when they got put up because of that color. But the specifications
said that they had to get your attention."
Bob Porter, associate director of physical plant maintenance, agreed the color was strange and said the signs had to be highly visible on every floor of every building.
"That funky green with black lettering gets everyone's attention," Porter said. "And they're located in corridors where there is a cross entrance — where people have to pass in order to leave a building."
John Mullens
"You go to a basement for the same reason that a soldier goes into a foxhole, except you're dodging 1969 Cadillacs instead of bullets. You try to make the stuff fly over you, not through you."
coordinator of University security and emergency planning
Porter said certain campus buildings, such as the Lied Center, did not have the neon signs because the color did not match the building decor.
The fire marshal gave the University paper signs to hang in University buildings in 1995, Nightingale said. Permanent signs were hung at the beginning of Kansas' severe weather season.
The severe weather season begins in March and continues through July, said Paula Phillips, director of Douglas County Emergency Management.
"This is the time when Kansas experiences the majority of its severe weather," Phillips said. "But we've had severe weather and
tornadoes in every month of the year.
Kansas ranks third in the nation in the number of tornadoes it experiences, behind Texas and Oklahoma, she said. The three states are known collectively as 'tornado alley.'
"But Kansas is No. 1 when it comes to having the most severe tornadoes," she said.
John Mullens, coordinator of University security and emergency planning, said most weather-related injuries resulted from flying debris rather than buildings collapsing. This is why it is best to go to the basement or to the lowest floor of a house or building, he said.
"You go to a basement for the reason that a soldier goes into
a foxhole, "Mullens said, "except you're dodging 1969 Cadillacs instead of bullets. You try to make the stuff fly over you, not through you."
Phillips said it was important to remember that severe thunderstorms could cause as much damage as tornadoes. She said often, people did not believe severe weather warnings unless they saw a tornado spinning in the distance.
"Disaster research clearly shows that in order for people to take cover from any kind of severe weather, they have to verify it for themselves and see if it applies to them," Phillips said. "But the weather service only issues warnings after the severe weather has been verified."

The University of Kansas International Business Resource Center is conducting a seminar to help Kansas companies market their products internationally on the Internet.
"There are a lot of things that businesses can do to use the Web to their advantage," said Mike O'Donnell, executive director of the IBRC.
"For a lot of business owners that are out there in their 40s, 50s and 60s, it's just a whole new world," O'Donnell said of the Internet.
He said the goal of this weekend's seminar was to help small business owners in Kansas use the Internet to expand trade opportunities.
Along with conducting seminars, the IBRC has developed a Web site, http://www.irbc.bschool.ukans.edu, to help Kansas companies promote their products in a worldwide marketplace.
One of the site's resources is a database of Midwestern companies. People around the world can search the database for information about the companies and the goods and services they provide.
Other resources include links to international news and trade sites.
The primary focus of the IBRC is
"It's been fun learning what we're capable of doing here at the University and matching that up with the needs of the business community," said Todd Kice, Wichita graduate student, who works in the IBRC."

Gene therapy might become prevalent after clinical success

Gene therapy is limited only by the imagination, Russ Middaugh said last night.
Middaugh, distinguished professor of pharmaceutical chemistry, spoke to about 75 students and faculty at the Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Middaugh's lecture, "Do Genes Come True?" was part of the Takeru Higuchi Lecture Series. Middaugh was not paid for the lecture.
The lecture series is an opportunity for distinguished professors to share some of the results of their research.
Susan Hovorka, Topeka graduate student, said she attended the lecture because she had an
interest in gene therapy.
"I thought it was very informative and presented well," Hovorka said. "I now have a more general knowledge of the technology."
Middaugh said gene therapy involved replacing defective genes. The main diseases targeted by gene therapy are cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, sickle-cell disease, familial hypercholesterolemia and hemophilia, he said.
"There are over 3,000 genetic disorders that can also be included," Middaugh said.
Middaugh said in the next century, gene therapy might be used to target blood vessel disease.
"It has worked in clinical trials and is the method of choice for treating patients," Middaugh said.

Studios enter digital age
Future architects get room upgrades in Marvin Hall
By Kwanghae Lee Special to the Kansan
This year the School of Architecture and Urban Design started reforming its old studios into sophisticated, new digital studios.
The school has already completed the upgrade of one studio, room 403 in Marvin Hall, in January. The renovations cost $25,000. A second studio, 203 Marvin, will be renovated during the summer with an estimated budget of $25,000.
With the first renovation, 18 drawing boards were cleared out of the studio and new technology was moved in.
"Good-bye, 18th century. Hello, 21st century," Dennis Domer, associate dean said. "This profession doesn't create architecture any longer the
way we have taught it."
Of course, architecture students at the University are excited about the new digital studios.
"I am enjoying more flexibility in terms of design itself and the way I design," said Daniel Salinas, Lawrence senior.
Salinas said he was concentrating on his three-dimensional project titled, "Kansas City Project." He said the project would close the gap Interstate 70 produces in Kansas City so people would stay downtown after work hours. The site is between Bartle and Maine streets.
"The digital format I used in this project allowed me to present the project in a way I would not be able to in a traditional pencil drawing," Salinas said. "I mocked the sun's path on the site and presented it in a three-dimensional rendered model, animated to emphasize the cast shadows. And the realtime animations are unique to the digital format."
The new digital studio is equipped with 14 computers for

electronic drawing and for making three-dimensional movies for presentations.
"Students are working through the medium of computers and manage a lot more information in more efficient ways. It's great," said Bill Carswell, associate professor of architecture and urban design.
Carswell said this year's reform was one of the long-term renovation projects for overhauling more than 20 studios in Marvin Hall. He also said the school would begin to require students to own their own computers starting in the fall.
Gifts create new KU history
Graduating seniors bequeath traditional items to University
By Cammi Heimann Special to the Kansan
In 1873, four people started a tradition in which more than 4,000 seniors will participate this spring.
Every year for the past 125 years, the graduating class has given a gift to the University of Kansas.
"The class gift is important for a class because it's something that the seniors can leave behind," said Joy Benedict, Lawrence senior and president of the 1998 senior class. "It's something that they can come back to 20 years from now and say, 'Hev. I was here.'"
Patrick Strubbe, Leawood senior and treasurer of the senior class, said one of the reasons he came to KU was because of the University's strong tradition.
"The tradition at KU goes across a lot of areas." Strubbe said. "One of those traditions is the legacies that each class leaves behind."
Barbara Ballard, associate dean of students and adviser to the senior class, said the seniors would try to select something that would last and be representative of what was happening at the time.
He said the seniors have between $4,000 and $6,000 to spend on the gift.
Derek Nieuk, Overland Park senior and vice president of the senior class, said one of the ideas for this year's gift was something that would symbolize the 100th anniversary of basketball at the University.
"However, there's also the view.
point that the 100 years of basketball doesn't represent all the diverse interests of the senior class," Niehus said.
Another idea is a medallion that would lie in front of the Kansas Union.
Justin Ramsey, Wichita senior and member of the senior advisory board, said he got this idea from the University of Texas. He said he envisioned the medallion as a University of Kansas seal built into the sidewalk on the north side of the Union.
Ramsey said he believed the senior class officers and the senior advisory board would consider the diverse student body. He said he did not feel the board was excluding students from the decision.
The gift-giving tradition has evolved in 125 years. Before the University had senior classes of thousands, all the seniors used to meet in Fraser Hall to vote on the gift.
"With all of us coming together and brainstorming, we have a good sample of seniors who are representative of the class." Ramsey said.
During the late 1920s and into the 1930s, the seniors' gifts focused on the needs of the new Union. Some of these gifts included furniture (1927), a frame to encase the photographs of KU men and women who had died in World War I (1928), a piano for a dance and banquet hall in the Union (1929) and a service elevator (1830).
The 1920 seniors used the class money to purchase a base for the "Pioneer" statue located between Blake and Fraser halls.
From 1894 to 1898, the seniors donated their class savings to a fund that was used for scholarships.
In 1873, the seniors presented the University with an engraving called "The Temple of Kansas."
The class of 1959 started the Honors for Outstanding Progressive
"The class gift is important for a class because it's something that the seniors can leave behind. It's something that they can come back to 20 years from now and say, 'Hey, I was here.'"

The 1984 seniors wanted to buy a free-standing balloon in the form of a Jayhawk, like those used in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.
A KU alumna who was a balloon maker had made to sell it at cost.

The balloon turned out to be too expensive. So the class of 1984 donated a Kansas landscape painting by Robert Sudlow and a Civil War-era cavalry jacket and swords worn by Gen. John Fraser, the University's second chancellor.

Strubbe said although the 1998 seniors did not have as much money to spend as last year's class, they did not feel a restriction.
The class of 1997 gave the University the seal located in front of Budig Hall. The cost of this seal was about $10,000.
"If a class wants to plant a tree, that's just as important as any statue that a class might give." Strubbe said. "It really isn't the money. We're not competing against last year. We're adding to the KU history."

Message lost in ego trip
Only big one in The Big One is its director
By Jeremy M. Doherty
jidoherty@kanson.com
Kansas movie critic
Ko
If Roger and Me had Michael Moore hot on the trail of General Motors CEO Roger Smith, then his latest documentary, The Big One, has him aiming just a little higher.
Filmmaker Michael Moore speaks to a group of 350 KU students after a special screening of his new documentary, The Big One, at the Dickinson Theatres, 2339 Iowa St. Moore, known for his energetic charges against corporations and politicians, encouraged students to take a more active role in local government. Photo by Lisa Stevens John/KANSAN
Now, he's going after everybody.
The movie opens in 1996. The tousle-haired Moore is on the college lecture circuit, preaching to capacity crowds on the evils of modern capitalism and the sleaziness of (gaspt) political candidates. Moore recounts how he sent bogus campaign checks to President Clinton, Bob Dole and Pat Buchanan. The "donors" were hemp growers, Satanists and abortion-rights organizations. Buchanan, who is anti-abortion, gladly accepted the donation, Moore says to the roaring crowd.
The Big One was conceived as Moore was about to set off on a nationwide publicity tour for his bestseller Downsize This! As a result, this rough, clumsily photographed opus is part road movie, part public relations junket and part message movie as the populist auteur investigates the downtradden firsthand.
We get tons of little episodes that play like weekly installments of a *Seinfeld* rip-off. There's Michael Moore, gripping about the quality of fast food.
Review
In other words, in a movie about a serious economic
issue, we sure see a lot of clowning by its celebrity director. Moore seems to have forgotten that what made Roger and Me such a brilliantly subversive exposure was its tight focus on the unemployed of Flint, Mich. He had only a few minutes of screen time, and the attempts at ironic humor were less contrived than they are in The Big One.
The highlight of the movie, one sure to keep up folks humming for weeks, is Moore's confrontations with Phil Knight, CEO of Nike.
THE BIG ONE
Moore asks Knight why he maintains a major shoe plant in Indonesia that pays its teen-age workers an hourly wage of less than a dollar.
Kansan Rating:
**1/2 out of ******
Running time:
1 hour 35 minutes
Rated PG-13:
for profanity
Knight replies, incredibly,
that Americans don't want
to make shoes for a living.
The silence which permeates the moment, as the tycoon tries to come up with a proper answer, is chilling and easily makes Moore's point much more powerfully than any pithy one-liner could.
Moore is an impassioned spokesman for unionization, and when he finally allows the people who have been affected by downsizing to tell their stories, The Big One makes a stirring statement. But the director's self-serving toast to his celebrity status and haphazard jabs at humor seriously undermine that message.
Dangerous less risky than risqué
Film aims to educate but merely stimulates
By Jeremy M. Doherty idoherty@kansan.com Kansan movie critic
For every joyous costume drama like Sense and Sensibility, we are given a clunker like Dangerous Beauty to sit through.
The difference is that Sense was performed by a robust troupe of British thespians. Under Ang Lee's sturdy direction, the movie, while totally immersed in the customs and behaviors of England in the 19th century, maintained its relevance.
Review
The moral of Dangerous Beauty,however,attempts something more ambitious in suggesting that prostitution actually performs a needed social obligation.
Close, but no cigar. Despite lavish costumes and an impressive recreation of Venice at the peak of the Renaissance, Dangerous misses the gondola and tries
to be both an erotic melodrama and a poem to early feminism.
Catherine McCormack, known for her performance as Mel Gibson's doomed bride in Braveheart, is Veronica Franco, a sprightly young lady who wants more than a seamstress's life. She reads books, writes poetry and longs to run away with Marco Venier (Rufus Sewell), a dashing senator.
But class conflict gets in the way of that romance. Veronica learns from her mother (Jacqueline Bisset) that the family coffers have run dry. To compensate for the lack of green stuff, Veronica has to take over Mom's old job as Venice's No.1 coursether.
Veronica once becomes the highest-grossing slut around the canals. The local church officials pay her no mind because she's good for tourism, and hey, they like her, too.
But, darn it all, the nearby Turks show up, and the Venetian men go off to war.
DANGEROUS BEAUTY
Kansan Rating: **1/2 out of ****
Running time: 2 hours
Rated R for urtility and sexual situations
Rated R: for nudity and sexual situations
leaving Veronica at the wrath of their disgruntled wives.
The main problem with all this is that director Marshall Herskovitz doesn't seem to know if he should be playing all this at face value. Much of Dangerous only serves as a long lead-in to the sweaty love scenes.
He also is unable to keep control of his actors, each of whom appears to be performing in different movie. Although set in Venice, some actors are obviously British, others are French and a few register as Italian. Then, there's Fred Ward and Oliver Platt, playing nobles and sounding a lot like the Americans that they are.
But McCormack's charismaetic performance manages to slice through the cheese. Let's hope she finds a good script soon.
Untamed plot emerges in Wild Things
By Marcelo Vilela
mvieira @ kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
During Student Union Activities sneak screening of Wild Things last Tuesday, a student told me he loved the movie because it had everything guys like.
Review
After watching the movie, I have to assume guys like threesomes, average acting and confusing plots.
No cheap tricks were spared to achieve that goal.
Kevin Bacon, Matt Dillon, Neve Campbell, and Denise Richards' star in the movie. They are all deceitful backstabbers who lie compulsively to each other to achieve their goals.
Wild Things, produced by Kevin Bacon, is the first major movie directed by John McNaughton. Via satellite after the movie, McNaughton said his goal was to make a sexy movie
Dillon's character does not wear much clothing, nor do the women characters. The mandatory washing the car in tiny shorts and white T-shirt scenes are there, along with the recurrent nearly nude by the swimming pool scenes. We even get a glimpse of Bacon's frontal nudity.
McNaughton does deserve some credit for providing audiences with the most explicit threesome scene since Threesome. With scenes suggesting sexual innuendo abound, the movie's rating is deserved.
The plot revolves around a guidance counselor at a high school in Blue Bay, Fla., who is accused of raping one of his students. Nothing is given away by saying all four lead characters become involved in a sordid and confusing scheme to earn some easy money.
McNaughton started confounding the

audience as soon as he tried to develop this plot. He allows the movie to become a joke after the first half, introducing improbable twists to the story.
As the credits rolled, revealing scenes attempted to tie the movie's loose ends, but they only assure us the plot was a real mess. In one scene, Campbell's character extracts one of her own teeth with a wrench. Need I say more?
Bill Murray, playing a opportunistic, sleazy lawyer, redeems the movie with priceless appearances that convey all the comedy the movie unintentionally provides. Murray's performance alone is a good reason to watch Wild Things, but do not underestimate the three-seme sequence.

Percussive circle to beat drums for KU hoops
by Tamara Miller
tmiller@kanson.com
Kanson staff writer
The Circle of Percusive Sound will give a drum roll for the Kansas men's basketball game from 7 to 9 tonight in the Pioneer Room of the Burge Union.
The circle will feature Barry Bernstein, a KU graduate in music therapy who will volunteer for the event. Bernstein is the CEO of Healthy Sounds Corporation, a Lenexa music therapy consulting firm, said Chris Lovvorn, Overland Park senior and circle founder.
Bernstein said he would introduce his "Rhythm Weave" program at the event. The free program uses words and drum rhythms to create communication within a group.
Bernstein is known for his work with music therapy through drumming. Bernstein co-founded "Rhythm for Life" with Mickey Horn, a former member of the Grateful Dead, Lovvorn said.
member of the Neurology During Bernstein's work with Hart, they researched the positive effects of music therapy on Alzheimer's Disease, Berstein said.
Ken Anderson, Lawrence graduate student, said the circle also drummed for entertainment. People may come even if they do not want to drum.
"We even had a kid come out who didn't like to play drums, but he liked to chant, so we said 'OK,'" he said.
he said.
Lovvorn said the organization held drum circles every month. During a circle, participants drum together or watch others drum. The organization wants to increase awareness of the therapeutic benefits of drum circles.
"You can communicate through drumming and really get a feel for a person through drumming with them," he said.
Lovvorn said participants need not bring a drum to the circle tonight, but it was encouraged. The circle will provide drums for those who do not have their own.
Bernstein said he was looking forward to bring his clinic to the University. He hoped to use the drum circle to get people excited about the basketball game tonight.
"It's kind of going to be a Rock Chalk Jayhawk pep rally," he said.
Silver Apples blossom influence modern scene
SILVERAPPLES
By Kelly Corcoran Special to the Kansan
In 1967, The Silver Apples started as a fivepiece, but changed into a pair by 1968, Simeon on the self-designed and self-named Simeon machine, and Dan Taylor on drums. The Simeon instrument is several amplifiers, oscillators and other effects. Using this bulky noise machine and borrowing from poets Warren Stanley and Eileen Lewellen for the lyrics, Simeon crafted electronic pop songs.
The Silver Apples played their first show in front of 30,000 people at a free all-day concert in Central Park in 1968 with The Steve Miller Band, The Chanbens Brothers, The Children of God, Sha-Na-Na, The Mothers of Invention and The Fugs. The next day the papers were playing the unique sound of the Silver Apples.
The Silver Apples — Silver Apples — MGA
This CD combines the first two Silver Apples albums, the first self-titled in 1968, and the second Contact in 1969. Originally released on Kapp records in a limited vinyl pressing, collectors price originals at about $600. Now widely available, music critics have raved about the genius and influence on modern music. Artists from Kraftwerk to Portishead to the Chemical Brothers to Madonna all acknowledge The Silver Apples as influential to their music.
well, Madonna never recognized them, but she should have.
tortoise
Tortoise — TNT — Thrill Jockey
The premier instrumental and experimental hip band finds middle ground on their third album, using the organic, rougher sounds of their first self-titled album from 1994 and the cut and paste electronic sounds of 1996's Millions now living will never die. John McEntire, the drummer and producer for all of Tortoise's albums among many other producing credits, including Stereolab, seems to have adapted his no-edges production style with the inventive treatments necessary to keep Tortoise from being background music.
ground music.
Tortoise could be the definition of the postrock movement in music. Citing influences from dub reggae, jazz, drum and bass and 20th century classical composers, you can hear different parts of each of these genres on TNT. On the first and title track, a guitar starts a simple melody and adds horns accenting the percussion. "Ten Day Interval" is an overwhelming flood of vibes in both channels, where "Almost always is nearly enough" is more akin to Aphex Twin's hypertechno.
On Thursday, TNT will be the Dinner Hour Album Playback on KJHK, a tradition where an album is played in its entirety at 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
Corcorn is th e music director for KJHK. To hear either of these selections 864-4747.

"It's more than a rumor that the student is Alfred Alford.It's thought to be him. It's thought to be his face.I think you're quite safe in saying that."
sandra wiechert author of a manuscript claiming the student in the statue is alfred allard
A mystery surrounds the University of Kansas legacy of Alfred Cecil Alford, the first KU alum to be killed in battle.
One hundred years ago, Alford left Kansas to fight in the Spanish-American War. A few months later, he was shot and killed on the Philippino front.
On the fourth floor of the Kansas Union, a bronze plaque serves as a reminder of Alford's sacrifice for his country.
The mystery is whether this is the only place on campus that Alford is immortalized by the University.
Although it cannot be verified, the consensus is that he is the posthumous model for the student in the Jimmy Green statue on Jayhawk Boulevard in front of the former law school. Lippincott Hall.
In a 1984 Kansas Alumni magazine article, Chuck Marsh, associate professor of journalism, said that post-World War II stories in three area newspapers featured the unsubstantiated claim that sculptor Daniel Chester French modeled the student in the Jimmy Green statue after Alford. French reportedly chose a picture of Alford from hundreds of photographs of KU students.
However, in 1965 Walt Blackledge, a 1962 KU alum, rebutted the claim in another article for the alumni magazine. Blackledge concluded that, although it would make a good story, the student in the statue was not Alford.
"The identification of the student as Alford makes the statue a memorial to the many KU men and women who have given their best — and sometimes their all — for their country." Blackledge wrote. "The most reliable evidence indicates that the sculptor did not model the student's face to be that of anyone in particular."
Blackledge contended that Clarence "Scratch" Oakes, a 1922 KU alum, visited the sculptor in New York with a picture of fraternity brother Bob Mosby (class of 1925). Oakes claimed that Mosby's measurements were used as the model, but the figure in the statue didn't represent a specific student.
So who is the bronze companion of Jimmy Green?
Blackledge explained that, at the time the statue was being planned, the Lawrence Journal-World ran a story labeling Gordon Saunders (class of 1922) as the student in the statue. However, Oakes said that this claim was planted by Saunders' fraternity brothers.
Blackledge's article indicated that the earliest reference of Alford as the student appeared in a 1940 issue of The University Daily Kansan. The article said that the statue might portray Alford, but records to verify this were lacking.
The statue makes no reference to the student standing with Jimmy Green. It reads, "In Memory of James Woods Green, 1849-1919. Forty Years Dean of the School of Law, 1879-1919. The Students' Counsellor and Friend."
Alford had spent much of his time in the school of law. He received a degree from the University in 1896 and then returned to earn his law degree in 1897.
The 1869 yearbook, Alford's senior year, included pictures and brief biographies of each senior. Alford's description refers to Jimmy Green. It reads, "In the latter stages of his education he has divided his attention between the School of Arts and that intellectual sewer for which Jimmy Green is the chief scavenger."
Francis Heller, emeritus professor of law and political science, said he heard that the model was an engineering student who had been killed in the first World War.
"The boots that are on the student in the statue — boots that tie up to the knee — were worn by all the engineering students." Heller said. "They would have to go out and do land surveys, and
there was very little on campus that was paved." James Maloney, emeritus professor of chemical engineering, said that he had heard that the sculptor, Daniel Chester French, had created the student to represent no particular person.
Areta Meyer. Lawrence resident, is a second cousin of Alfred Cecil Alford. She said she was convinced that the statue is her cousin.
"It looks just like him," Meyer said. "It looks like the Alfords."
Meyer has a postcard from the University proving it, she said.
The explanation on the back of the 1995 postcard reads, "The figures are Uncle Jimmy Green, a Kansas University professor and the founder of the KU School of Law, and Alfred Alford, a KU student who was killed in the Spanish American War."
In a brochure produced by the Historic Mount Oread Fund about the historic buildings at the University, the statue is pictured with a description of the two figures as "Uncle Jimmy" Green and Alfred Alford, a KU student killed in the Spanish American War."
Dennis Farney, president of the fund, said that he obtained the brochure information from an unpublished manuscript about the historic buildings and artifacts on Mount Oread.
"I personally don't know if it's him." Farney said. "I don't know if we'll ever know. I'm just relying on the manuscript."
Sandra Wiechert, one of the founders of the fund, is the author of this manuscript.
"It's more than a rumor that the student is Alfred Alford," Wiechert said. "It's thought to be him. It's thought to be his face. I think you're quite safe in saving that."
She said that, although she did not know where the rumor originated, she had read numerous accounts that it was believed to be Alford. Wiechart said there was something to be said for the consistency of labeling Alford as the model.
Wiechert said that French put the student in boots not because he was an engineering student, but because he thought, from an artistic standpoint, four equally long legs in pants would be unsightly.
An excerpt from her manuscript reads, "The sculptor] apparently modeled the student's face on a photograph of Alfred C. Alford, the first KU graduate killed in the Spanish-American War. The student is wearing boots because, French wrote, 'four legs encasced in long trousers in exact line would be an object not pleasant to contemplate.'"
Rex Powell, the son of Areta Meyer and Alford's third cousin, said that it made sense that Alfred would be the model for the statue.
"That poor old guy got himself shot," Powell said. "They needed a model for the statute, and he was dead. For a statue, you usually use someone who is no longer living."
Alfred Aldard is the man most people think was the model for the student standing next to Jimmy Green in the statue in front of Lippincott Hall. However, two other men also are thought to have influenced sculptor Daniel Chester French. Look at the evidence and then decide which of the three is represented, or that none of them are able to lay claim.

Within a few days of the confrontation, Jimmy would invariably get a coat of green paint courtesy of the engineering students. The department now known as Facilities Operations would clean Jimmy up only to have it happen again the next year.
Why the color green? Why would engineers have anything against lawyers?
It was like the opening scene to "West Side Story."
From Marvin Hall, engineering students by the tens appeared along the Mount Cread horizon making their way toward Green Hall, now Limnincott Hall.
Sort of
neering-student style. And they may be drunk.
The two groups square off. You could cut the geek anst w with a knife.
Enter the real victim of this, one of KU's oldest intracapital rivalries, now all but extinguished: the statue of Jimmy Green.
There are no fingers snapping in unison — we're talking about engineering students here — they're certainly not frolicking about in well-choreographed dance moves — again, no rhythm — but they are ready to rumble; engi-
Riveting. isn't it.
Upon reaching Green Hall they're confronted with their rivals. and daunting foes they are; peeved lawyers in-training preparing to enter the real world to begin practicing evil as a profession: also, possibly drunk, but scotch-drunk.
Instead of wearing colors, the two groups accessorized. Law students identified themselves by walking with canes — very tough. The engineers had their slide-rules — very ... well, engineer-like.
No knives or chains here. It's canes and slide rules.
Whatever the reasons, the beginning of the end for the tradition came when the engineering school was banished to Learned Hall in 1983
"Marvin was just a hop-skip-and-jump away from Green," said Francis Heller, emeritus professor of law and political science. "But I guess Learned was just too much of hike for them."
Maybe it was because of Jimmy's last name. Maybe what they had against lawyers was the same thing that the rest of us have against lawyers.
Now, the greatest threat to Jimmy's bronze hue comes from an enemy even more vileness than lawyers, even more socially inept than engineers. No, they're not journalists. They're K-Staters donning purple paint. Shoot to kill.

Ryan Hodapp, KU Superfan, prepares to enter Allen Field House and take his place as the University of Kansas' most visible basketball baller. For three years Hodapp has faithfully performed his duties of supporting the team and pumping up the crowd
KU
SUPERFAN
The man behind the Super Fan
Story and photos by Graham K. Johnson
It's Show Time
Two o'clock sharp.
It's exactly one hour before tip-off, Ryan Hodapp abruptly halts the conversation, grabs his bag from underneath the bleachers and makes his way from the stands to the men's restroom at the north end of Allen Field House.
He takes his regular place at the right-hand sink.
He checks the mirror one last time. The man he sees is no longer Ryan Hodapp the shy senior from Overland Park. Now he is Superfan — an institution at the University of Kansas' Allen Field House, a testament to the power of Kansas basketball and to the madness of March.
He takes his regular pace at the right hand side. From his bag he takes crimson and blue face paint and applies a crimson stripe down his forehead, nose and chin. Crimson always goes on first and always on the right side, then the blue. For the crowning touch, he pulls on his bright red, curly-haired clown wig.
The real question may be whether there is a little bit of Ryan Hodapi in all of us?
For three years and more than 40 home games, Hodapp has donned a red sweatshirt with "KU Superfan" stenciled across the front, tied on his blue cap and worn the red wig and face paint to show his support for Kansas basketball.
What is it about basketball that would make someone do such a crazy thing? Is this normal? Is this a problem? Is it contagious?
"I think everyone is capable of exhibitionism, which is what this is," Cheffers said. "For instance, most people would exhibit some of Superfan's behavior if they were told they'd just won the lottery."
And there is, said John Cheffers, a professor of education at Boston University. Cheffers has written about fan behavior including a 1990 co-authored paper entitled: A Description of Behavior and Emotional Involvement of Spectators During Professional Hockey Games.
It's Game Time
3:05 p.m
Superfan begins jumping up and down and stomping on the stands. The force of his 300-pound frame coming down on the bleachers shakes those next to him off-balance. His booming baritone voice belts out a HO-OOOOO-OOH! YEAAHH!
He hasn't won the lottery, Kansas just won the tip-off. During a time-out, Hodapp admits there is a bit of the exhibitionist in his act.
"In all honesty, and this seems kind of superficial, it started out just trying to get on TV once," Hodapp says.
Superfan began painting his face as part of an attempt by him and his fifth-floor McColum Hall.
mates to get on ESPN during a Kansas football game against Texas Christian University in 1995.
"I figured, who do you usually see on TV? You see the weirdos with their faces painted, going crazy," Hodapp says. "So I bought some paint and painted my face half crimson and half blue, and that's where it all started."
Now, he has become one of those weirdos.
Mickie Hodapp, Ryan's mother, remembers vividly how the superman/clown get-up all got started.
"He came home one day and said he was going to be a KU superfan," Mickie Hodapp said. "He said, 'Mom, will you make the cape?' I said, 'Sure, why not? This is cool, go for it.'"
Hodapp didn't get on television for that TCU game, but he eventually got on during the third game of the '95-'96 season.
"They singled me out for a crowd shot," Hodapp says proudly.
But the original motivation has been replaced by a deeper personal commitment, Hodapp claims.
After three years of his ritual of always going in the same door, always using the same bathroom and always putting the paint on the same way, the routine has become more than just a habit.
"As a fan. it's part of mv identity." Hodapp says.
Identity with the team is the key element in fan behavior, from a screaming basketball fan to the skinhead soccer rowdy who kicks in a few ribs. Cheffers said that whatever it looked like, it was not actual insanity.
"It's not really craziness. It's extreme identification, and it's extreme loyalty." Cheffers said.
The identity of fans such as Hodapp often involves

more than just being an admirer of the team, Cheffers said. Many actually believe they are a part of the team with a specific role to play.
"He will identify himself as one of the team, except

Jayhawks to face Tulane in first round
Kansas to try to slow Green Wave's splash in NCAA opener
By Kevin C. Wilson Kansan sportswriter
The No. 5-seed Jayhawks (21-8) meet the No. 12-seed Green Wave (21-6) at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, Iowa, in the West region.
Let the games begin.
Coach Lisa Stockton is in her fourth-year at Tulane and has an 88-31 record, making her the coach with the most wins in the school's history.
The Kansas women's basketball team tangles with Tulane at 6 p.m. today in the first-round of the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament.
Tulane received its fourth-straight invitation to the NCAA Tournament. The Green Wave finished second in the National Division of Conference USA with a 12-4 record and ranked No. 19 in the poll this season.
games, and is paced by a potent inside-outside pair.
Tulane enters the tournament on a hot streak, winning nine of its last 11
High-scoring guard Grace Daley leads the Green Wave with 19.9 points per game. Daley, a first-team All-Conference USA selection and the 1998 Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year, hit double-figures in 24 of Tulane's 27 games this season. She also scored more than 20 points in 14 games and surpassed the 30-point barrier on four other occasions.
Six-foot-3-inch center Barbara Farris makes up the inside half of Tulane's talented tandem. Farris, a second team all-conference selection, scores 14.2 points per game and rips down a team-high 8.3 rebounds per game. She also shoots a remarkable 71.6 percent from the field, which ranks second in the nation in field goal percentage.
When a third scorer comes to life, the Green Wave rolls. Tulane is 15-0 in games that three or more players reached double-figures and 6-6 when fewer than three players hit 10 or more points.
Defense has paved the way to Tulane's success. The Green Wave holds its opponents to 58.1 points per game and 36 percent shooting.

Tulane is one of four teams, including No. 1 Tennessee and Old Dominion and No. 3 Louisiana Tech, that rank in the top 20 nationally in scoring defense, field goal defense, scoring margin and rebound margin.
Although Tulane has reached the
NCAA Tournament in four-straight seasons, it has not fared well. The Green Wave is 1-3 in the tournament, with its only victory coming in last year's first-round game against UC-Santa Barbara 72-69.
The Jayhawks enter the postseason after finishing third in the Big 12 Conference with a 11-5 conference record. Kansas defeated Kansas State and No. 24 Iowa State on its way to the Big 12 Conference Tournament Finals.
Although the Jayhawks fell short of the win, losing 71-53 to No. 6 Texas Tech in the championship, they impressed the selection committee enough to land an at-large bid and a No. 5 ranking.
First team all-Big 12 selection Lynn Pride leads the Jayhawks in four categories. The forward paces Kansas in scoring (15.0), rebounding (6.9), steals (2.2) and minutes played (33.5).
Guard Suzi Raymant ranks second with the Jayhawks in both scoring and rebounding, chipping in 14.3 points and 6.1 rebounds per game.
No. 4 Iowa (17-10) plays host to No. 13 Massachusetts (19-10), 30 minutes after the Jayhawks' game, with the winners facing at 6:30 p.m. Sunday for a trip to the Sweet 16.
Thomas' leg still hampers his shooting
Kansan sportswriter
By Tommy Gallagher
Karen rooftwiter
Thomas said the problem was with running full speed, which would hamper his ability to run through screens and play defense.
OKLAHOMA CITY — Guard Billy Thomas went through the same shooting motions he always had during yesterday's two team practices, but a left thigh sprain might prevent him from playing when Kansas plays Prairie View A&M in first round action of the NCAA Tournament tonight.
Kansas coach Roy Williams said yesterday he would not decide whether Thomas would play until before the game.
"I have my mobility back," Thomas said. "I just don't have enough regular motion to be comfortable out there. I still have the injury in the back of my mind every time I attempt a full shot. But I can't make a full shot because I am favoring my right side a little bit."
The Jayhawks had an hour and a half practice at Oklahoma City University yesterday afternoon and followed that with a light, 35-minute workout in the evening. Thomas was cautious to protect his injury and ran gingerly.
"If he can't be 85 to 90 percent for the game, then there is really no sense in pushing him," Williams said. "If you would have asked me Tuesday whether he he could play, I would have said no. But now there is a chance. It all depends on how he feels tomorrow."
"So long as I can be comfortable with it,
then I will be all right." Thomas said.
Thomas said he would probably play at less than 100 percent regardless of when he returned to the starting lineup.
Aside from Thomas' leg, the Jayhawks remained focused on playing the No.16 seeded Panthers, (13-16), who have relished the Cinderella roll.
Prairie View A&M has the lowest power rating of any team ever to qualify for the NCAA Tournament at No. 263. And although the Panthers might lack the height and athleticism to compete with the Jayhawks, they have shown they have heart.
Prairie View A&M rallied from 20 points down against top-seeded Texas Southern in the Southwestern Conference championship game and won.
Panthers coach Elwood Plummer said the rally against Texas Southern proved his team had desire.
Panthers forward Julius Marble said his teammates had not traveled to Oklahoma City only to play one NCAA Tournament game.
"We came here to win a ball game, just like anyone else in this tournament," Marble said. "Playing Kansas is more than enough to get us motivated. We would love to play on Sunday. This is the NCAA Tournament where upsets can happen."
Kansas guard Ryan Robertson said the Javahawks did not plan on being unset.
"Coach tells us to fear no one but respect everyone," Robertson said. "I have no trouble with anything they said if they have the power and ability to back it up. But our focus is with what we do rather than what someone else says."

HOROSCOPES
Today's birthday:
This is an exciting year full of opportunities and the revival of old dreams and relationships.. Past discretions will come back to haunt you.
Aries: Today is a 6.
Taurus: Today is a 4.
You need someone else in your life to break those self-destructive cycles. The voice of reason speaks in loving, compassionate tones. Power tastes and feels better when shared.
Gemini: Today is an 8.
If you are just tuning into the sensual vibe that surrounds you, this is the day to act on it. The moon is passing from Virgo to Libra, filling your life with motivation and balance. Wake up and take advantage.
Talking out of turn starts a dialogue on the wrong foot. Even if you speak from deep knowledge, no one will listen if your tone of voice is unpleasant. Young people are especially restless.
Cancer: Today is a 3.
The bright light of understanding pierces an emotional well. Get a head start on a major project before someone else steals your thunder. It is possible to be aggressive and gracious at the same time.
C
Leo: Today is a 5.
If your day is annoying, you can always hide from it in the comfort of your relationship. If you don't have anyone to help you get over it, a good book or movie wonders. Self-improvement is up to you.

Virgo: Today is a 6.
男女
O
Your relationships glow with health. Your system runs so smoothly that you can accommodate someone else without major adjustments. Self-centered people open their minds to other ways of thinking.
Sagittarius: Today is a 5.
If logic has been getting you nowhere, why not let intuition take the wheel? Any kind of action at all is better than spending the day frozen with indecision. Tune back in to the natural rhythms of your body.
Lion
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
Trust your feelings in a relationship. There is only so much you can analyze and evaluate when the time is ripe and the outcome is obvious. If you take the lead, others will follow without question.
Scorpio: Today is a 3.
Aquarius: Today is a 4.
Your legs tense from your lizard-brain's fight-or-flight messages. Embrace your logical understanding that it's better to face a problem than to flee it. A moment of laughter returns lightness to your feet.
Let yourself drift with the current because you know exactly where it is taking you. You feel sensual and onstage with every motion you make. With apparent unconcern, you keep one eye on the clock.
Pisces: Today is a 2.
The time has come to unveil your plans. Many geniuses have been called crazy at some time in their careers. The stranger your idea, the more you will have to rely on your powers of persuasion.
A wildly different idea presents itself as an obvious solution. If you lack the energy to lead, a good suggestion in a friendly ear could make all the difference. Trust and friendship are the best starting points for any group endeavor.

Illinois State tops Tennessee in OT
'Easy' layup puts Volunteers under after tiring contest
The Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, Calif.
Dan Muller wormed inside for a layup with 1.8 seconds left in overtime last night, giving Illinois State an 82-81 victory over Tennessee in a brutal, fast-paced NCAA West Regional duel.
When Tennessee's Vegas Davis missed a desperation heave at the buzzer, Muller turned and bellowed to celebrate the victory in a draining game that seesawed throughout the second half and overtime.
In Kevin Stallings and Jerry Green, both teams are coached by former Kansas assistants under Roy Williams.
Illinois State, led by Rico Hill's 22 points, LeRoy Watkins' 18 and Steve Hansell's 16, trailed most of the first half but patiently worked back to a 66-57 lead in the second half.
But Hansell drove hard for a layup to tie it at 72-72 with 54 seconds left, and each team missed a shot to put the game away in regulation.
out when it took a 72-70 lead on a dunk by C.J. Black with 1:13 to go.
Tennessee, which hasn't won an NCAA Tournament game in 15 years and hadn't played in one in nine years, seemed ready to pull this one
Watkins scored first on a layup in overtime, and Black responded with a layup off a steal. With 1:21 to go, Hansell's drive and free throw put Illinois State ahead 78-77, but an offensive rebound by Tennessee's Rashard Lee put the Vols ahead again 79-78.
Watkins drove almost in slow motion but hard and unstoppably to make it 80-79, and Black matched that with another layup with 16 seconds left. Illinois State worked the ball for one last shot. Hill got it to Kyle Cartmill, who passed it underneath to Muller for the game-winner.
"That last shot was an easy shot," Muller said. "I didn't have to do anything. Kyle just got me the ball."
Tennessee, led by Brandon Wharton's 23 points, suffered from miserable shooting by point guard Tony Harris, who hit only one of 13 shots from the field. The Vols shot only 37 percent in the game.
Illinois State (25-5) next plays Arizona. Tennessee finished its season 20-9.

Superfan: Champion of hoops, justice and the American way
Continued from page 1A
his contribution is not in bouncing a ball, it's in the ceremonial outfit he puts on and in the great loyalty that he has," Cheffers said.
Ryan Hodapp, KU Superfan, cheers the introduction of the players amid a cloud of fluttering confetti. Hodapp spends and hour before each game making confetti.
Hodapp says he is not sure how he'd feel if he lost his costume.
"Should it happen, in a way, I'd almost say I'd be letting the team down," Hodapp says. "If it all got stolen, I'd probably find a way to replace it all really fast. The thought of not coming to the game would enter my mind."
Oneters added that it was quite common for these identities to become strong enough for people to believe the team actually does count on them.
Yet, Hodap says he's not deluded about his importance to Kansas basketball.
"Imake a very small contribution," says Hodapp. But he also thinks there is something to his outlandish crimson and blue presence.
"They haven't lost with me wearing the stuff," Hodapp says. "I've been told that it's definitely noticeable when I am not here."
But Hodapp is almost always there, and he's focused 100 percent on one thing, being Superfan.
It's Crunch Time
R-14 remaining - First Half
“Come on, 'Hawks!' Superfan screams. “Let's pick up the tempo. Don't let them play their game!”
The 'Hawks are trailing in a slow, low-scoring game against Iowa State. Superfan watches the game intensely and carefully analyzes the situation. Iowa State is taking away Kansas' fast break with a slow, clock-burning, half-court offense. The game occupies all of his attention.
single-mindedness is a strong personal trait of his. Hodapp savs.
"I throw myself 100 percent into whatever I am doing." Hodgson says.
In high school, debate held his undivided attention. When the scholarship offers for college didn't come, a void needed to be filled.
Basketball quickly became his new love and it gets 100 percent of his commitment. Bill Hodapp, Ryan's father and a computer consultant in Overland Park, said total involvement had always been his son's way.
"When he got involved with things, he took on everything with a passion," Bill Hodapd said.
Ryan Hodapp was born on July 12, 1976, in New Brunswick, N.J. About once every three years, the family would pack up and move to a different city. This was perhaps the only negative experience during his formative years.
"That may have been one of the things I took away from moving a lot as a kid," Hodapp says. "It's a little bit harder for me to meet new people. I'm actually a pretty shy guy. I'm the guy that is in the corner at a party watching what's going on."
'At the games, he's anything but shy. From high-fiving fellow fans and leading cheers to glad-handing with the ushers and ticket scalpers. Even signing autographs, he's about as shy as... well... a Superfan in front of a television camera.
The people who have been going to games with him for years were surprised to hear him described as shy. Kristi Truman, Kansas City, Mo., junior, has known Superfan from the beginning and said she hasn't ever found the man behind the paint to be shy.
"I don't think he's shy at all, once you get to know him." Truman said.
'Bill Hodapp said he thought the make-up helped his son overcome his natural shyness.
Cheffers said that the anonymity of being in a crowd and of having face paint was important in understanding what allows people to overcome their inhibitions and act crazy.
'Hodapp certainly agrees that the costume allows him to be more outgoing, even boisterous.
"With the make up on, you almost feel a little bit more to free get a little bit crazier. Hodapp said.
Hodapp thinks the spirit of the Phog also helps.
"I didn't become a rabid, saving sort of fan until I got to KU," Hodapp says. "Hodapp says. The Allen Field House atmosphere sort of got to me."
Its Rock n' Roll Time
1302 SECOND Superfan double pumps his fists and rolls his head around and around, reveling in a big Raef LaFrentz stick-back during a patented Kansas run. The spirit is rising.
The spirit is rising, and Superfan does seeming
his part to amplify it by yelling and scream...5.
Even the rabid fans who sit in the student section testify that Hodapp really does have an effect on the atmosphere and his fellow fans.
he pumps up the spirit," said Sara Christiansen, Shawnee junior and a member of Superfan's camping group, the Three Musketeers. "He never loses the intensity."
Even Klissa Rueschhoff, the Candy Lady, is impressed with Superfan. Rueschhoff works at Haskell Indian Nations University as the Bureau of Indian Affair's natural resource cooperative program coordinator. She also is known to work the student section at Kansas basketball games into a sugary frenzy by throwing candy into the stands. She feels fans like Superfan adds a lot of positive things to the games.
"I think it's great to have superfans," Rueschhoff said. "I think they're great as long as they aren't rude or anything."
Kansas has pulled away and has the game all but wrapped up, but Superfan is still as vocal as ever.
"Hey, come on refl!! Watch the push-off!" Hodapp yells as he chides the referee for not calling an offensive foul. But this is about as negative as he ever gets.
"He's never been disrespectful or anything," Christiansen savs.
That hasn't been the case with all Jayhawk superfans, though. Take Joe Zielinski, a.k.a. Captain Jayhawk, for example.
Zielinski, a 1992 KU graduate, was temporarily thrown out of the field house for changing the scoreboard of a game Kansas was losing.
"I went a little too far with that one." Zielinski said.
"There were times when I'd get confused about who I was. I didn't know if I was me or if I was Captain Jay hawk."
Hodapp said he would never do anything disruptive, because it doesn't help support the team and that is what he feels a fan's job is.
Cheffers said that anti-social acts such as Captain Jayhawk's and verbal abuse were signs of potential violence, which is the main thing to worry about and watch for in fans.
Hodapp says that if he ever gets to the point where all he can talk about is basketball, then he'll know he has a problem. But that hasn't happened yet... not this season.
It's Rock Chalk Time
1:25 remaining.
"NOOOOOOOOOONEEERRRR!!! Hodapp screams.
His favorite player, Terry Nooner, the former walk-on, comes into the game, which means the game is in hand. Hodapp joins the thousands of voices in the Rock-Chalk chant. It's time to move to the next game, the next step on the road to the Final Four.
When the road will end is the question for Hodapp and all KU fans. Hodapp plans to make a road trip down to San Antonio and he'll be packing his paint and all.
But should the season and Hodapp's career as Superfan end short of San Antonio, Hodapp is prepared.
"As a fan I'll kind of feel disappointed if they lose," Hodapp says. "But it's not as if the team let me down, because the players always go out and play hard, play to win. And that's all a fan can really ask for."
"I don't want to jinx the team," Hodap says.
KU fans of all strips will be taking the same emotional journey.

Snow throws teams a curve
By John Blakely Wilson Kansan sportswriter
Kansas baseball was scheduled to play three games at Nebraska this weekend, but 13 inches of snow means no outdoor baseball in Lincoln. Neb. for a couple of weeks.
The three Big 12 Conference games against the Cornhuskers will not be rescheduled, but Kansas invited Kansas State and Air Force to Lawrence to play a round-robin tomorrow and Sunday if Hoglund-Maupin Stadium is playable.
K-State and Air Force were scheduled to play a series in Manhattan, but snow and forecasted cold temperatures make the Wildcats' home field unplayable also.
"There's still snow even on our field here in Lawrence, but it looks like temperatures will be up for the weekend. At least temperatures should be under freezing," Randall said. "We will try to clear the snow off on Friday and hope it will dry enough for
KU
Saturdav."
Bryson: Unfavorable weather has helped team rhythm.
The weekend schedule will not be finalized until late today, but will pro b a b l y involve a round-robin format with the Jayhawks tentatively playing at 11 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. to m o r r o w.
Details for Sunday still were undecided yesterday.
Kansas has not played a full game since Friday against Illinois-Chicago. This time it has given several nagging injuries time to heal.
"it's been pretty low-key for us this week," Randall said. "We've been able to heal some sore arms and rest some tired bodies."
Outfielder Cliff Bryson said the inclement weather during the past
few weeks had given the team members some time to get in sync.
"We are just all relaxing more and getting into a rhythm as the season goes on," Bryson said. "We're just trying not to let the unbelievably
KU
Case: Cooch expects playing time to increase.
cold weather hold us back from improving."
First baseman Randy Case's back, which he underwent surgery for in the off-season, continues to heal.
"Randy keeps feeling better, and that's key because we want him getting in as many innings and at bats as possible for us," Randall said. "He's played well thus far, and his production should increase as he gets more and more healthy."
Kansas women's tennis to battle'Buffs
Kansan staff report
The Kansas women's tennis team will hit the road for the sixth time in nine matches and travel to Boulder, Colo., this weekend.
The Jayhawks will face Colorado and will try to improve their Big 12 Conference record to 3-0 tomorrow.
The Buffalohes should not pose a threat to the 17th-ranked Jayhawks. As a team Colorado is not ranked and their highest individual ranking is their No. 1 doubles team of Agnes Beck and Anna Beck, who are ranked 38th in the nation.
including a w i n a gainst William and Mary on Sunday, which helped them move up from No. 27 to No. 17 in the national rankings.
The Jayhawks are coming off a two-match winning streak.
1934
by contrast, Kansas is ranked No. 17 in the nation and has three players who are ranked nationally: senior Kylie Hunt (25th), senior Christie Sim (28th) and freshman Christine Sues (96th).
Hunt: Returned to national ranking.
The Buffaloes are 2-1 in the Big 12, including wins against Missouri and Texas Tech.
After tomorrow, the Jayhawks will not play again until March 27, when they travel to California to face Pepperdine and Southern California.
Senior Kylie Hunt will look to improve to 10-1 on the season. She is ranked for the first time since she injured her knee two years ago.
Softball splits with Arkansas
The Kansas softball team split with Arkansas in a doubleheader Wednesday in Fayetteville, Ark.
In the first game, Kansas jumped ahead 4-0, taking advantage of three Razorback errors. Jessi Kowal pitched for the Jayhawks and gave up only two runs on six hits. The Jayhawks won 4-2.
The crowd swelled from 46 to 117 people in the second game, as the Razor-backs held Kansas scoreless through six innings. Arkansas clung to a 1-0 lead until the seventh inning.
Michelle Hubler doubled to lead off the inning, and scored on an RBI by Shannon Stanwix. Sarah McCann went 1-1 with an RBI, bringing home Abbie Berg to take the lead.
Kansas is 12-12 for the season and will take the weekend off to prepare for an eight-day road trip to California during spring break.
But in the bottom of the inning, Arkansas scored twice on two hits and won the game 3:2.

Kansas State collapses, ends season in NIT
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN — A team's basketball season can unravel in March, Kansas State's collapsed.
From that fabled 111-point game against Missouri, the Wildcats scored just 39 Wednesday when they lost an NIT First-round game to North Carolina State 59-39.
Hiring at 10 a.m. and drinking NOAAT football!
But late in the season, point guard Duane Davis suf-
That was a return to earth for a team that once was riding high at 15-6 and thinking NCAA Tournament.
a severe ankle injury.
The team's other key player,
Manny Dies, got himself in trouble with the law at the crucial point of the year.
The Wildcats lurched into the postseason Big 12 Conference tournament, defeated Colorado and best to Kansas.
C
Like every other conference team but Kansas, the Wildcats had trouble winning road games. But behind Dies, the team's most improved player, they played respectably.
The Wildcats landed a spot in the second-chance NIT. But the performance at North Carolina State left the team's two seniors, Aaron Swartzendruber and Marcus McCollough, wondering how the team could come up so short in what for the Wildcats was such a big game.
then Davis missed the last four games of the season with the ankle injury. And coach Tom Asbury held out Dies for three games after he was charged with possession of an open container of alcohol in his car
And now the K-State season is finished after what became an ill-advised trip to Raleigh, N.C.
"This is such a disappointment," Swartzendrubor said of the North Carolina State game. "To play that way in this kind of game. I don't know how else to describe it."
But Asbury already is looking toward next season, and a first glance at the roster would indicate he has a lot of players who gained experience this year coming back.
However, he is quick to say the loss of Swartzendruber and McColloch will affect the team.
Key players returning are Dies, Chris Griffin, May, Davis, Shawn Rhodes and TV Sims.
Meanwhile, Asbury has denied rumors he is interested in a head coaching position with the University of California-Santa Barbara.
"My efforts are 100 percent focused on the next season here at Kansas State." Asbury said yesterday in a news release. "The 1998-99 season begins immediately."
Tiger players hoping for NCAA berth in'99
COLUMBIA, Mo. — It is no wonder Missouri coach Norm Stewart gets a little sentimental when asked about senior Kelly Thames.
The Associated Press
Thames was the last link to arguably the greatest Tiger team of all time, the 1993-94 squad.
Wednesday, Thames' career ended, as did the 1997-98 season for the Tigers (17-15) who lost 93-86 to Alabama-Birmingham in the first round of the National Invitation Tournament.
"I was glad to see him (Thames) wind up just the way he started." Stewart said.
For three consecutive years, the Tigers failed to qualify for the NCAA Tournament. Thames had to sit out the 1994-95 season with a torn ligament in his right knee.
"You can't write your own script," Thames said. "I've got no negrets."
The Tigers played well in spurs during its final game and during the whole season. Missouri defeated then-No. 3 Kansas Jan. 19, but lost to mediocre Kansas State 111-56.
M
The Tigers, 0-10 on the road, never found a way to win on an opponent's home court. Stewart said it will be the returnees who will dictate success or failure next season.
If a turnaround is in the hands of current players, transfer Albert White and junior John Woods gave fans some hope Wednesday. Woods scored a career-high 29 points. White had 22.
Woods said, "I guarantee we go to the NCAA (Tournament) next year. I know that for a fact."
Teammates look for records
Track members to compete in NCAA championships
By Angela Johnson
Kansan sportswriter
Two Kansas women pole-vaulters will attempt to vault their way into the Jayhawk track and field record books again tomorrow.
"All of his throws were between 65 feet and 67 feet," Rick Attig, multi-events coach, said. "He needed to throw better to qualify for nationals, and he went in there and did it."
Mason's mark of 12 feet, 7 1/2 inches is the fourth best in the nation, and Branson's 12 feet mark is ranked 12th nationally.
Senior Candy Mason and freshman Andrea Branson hope to leave their mark at the 1998 NCAA Indoor Championships in Indianapolis, along with men's teammate freshman Scott Russell. He will compete in the 35-lb. weight throw.
"Both women have really good chances of placing well, better than what the rankings show," Attig said.
Russell broke his school record last weekend at the qualifying meet in Ames, Iowa. His throw of 67 feet, 2 3/4 inches is the sixth-best mark in the country.
This is Mason's first time competing in the indoor nationals. She is the school recordholder in the pentathlon, but the pentathlon is not an NCAA national event.
Attig said he hoped Mason and Branson came back with new school records.
"In most of the meets this season, Candy had done the pentathlon before the pole vault," Attig said. "She never had fresh legs, but still jumped over 12 feet."
"Andrea has made progress the past couple of weeks," he said. "She's ready to take it to the next level."
Seventeen women across the nation will compete in the pole vault, the first year for this event at nationals.
Kansas is the only school to have two athletes in one event. Attig said the team would have had three if freshman Ashley Feinberg, who jumped 12 feet, 6 inches at the Kansas State Triangular on Jan. 31, had been able to compete.
Feinberg has acute tendinitis and underwent surgery last week.
The meet starts today at the RCA Dome. Branson, Mason and Russell all will compete tomorrow.
"It will be nice to be able to practice in the facility," Attt said. "The track is a bit faster than some, and it helps if we're ready for it and know what to anticipate."

No.11-seed Washington upsets Xavier Musketeers
WASHINGTON — Deon Luton's 17-foot jumper from the left wing with 11.2 seconds to play gave 11th-seeded Washington its first NCAA victory since 1984, a 69-68 victory yesterday against sixth-seeded Xavier.
Luton, who had missed two free throws when Washington led 67-66 with 53.2 seconds left, hit his game-winner after Gary Lumpkin's two free throws had given Xavier the lead with 42.5 remaining.
The Associated Press
Xavier, which made one basket in the final 9:53, had two shots to win it in the waning seconds, but Lumpkin threw up an air ball and T.J. Johnson's layup attempt off an inbounds pass was blocked as time expired.
Washington overcame 26 turnovers and 10-for-21 free-throw shooting to win its first NCAA game since Detlef Schromp led a
The teams combined for 43 turnovers and only five field goals in the last 9:53 of the game. The difference was Washington's 54 percent shooting, compared to Xavier's 38 percent.
Xavier, which forces an average of 22 turnovers per game, denied the Huskies a pass for one turnover and forced a back-court traveling call for another. Yet the Musketeers (22-8) made only two field goals over the same stretch, leaving them with a 62-61 lead with four minutes to play.
victory over Duke 14 years ago.
For the first 10 minutes, Washington didn't have a clue offensively against the Xavier defense. The Huskies had no half-court rhythm and missed most of their free throws.
Washington then gave Xavier a taste of its own medicine, forcing turnovers and not allowing a field goal in the final 5:25.
Spiders oust South Carolina
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Richmond did it again—and so did South Carolina.
Jarod Stevenson scored 24 points as 14th-seeded Richmond added another NCAA Tournament upset to its resume beating third-seeded South Carolina 62-61 yesterday.
Richmond (23-7) held the Gamecocks scoreless in the final 76 seconds to secure the victory and set up a second-round East Regional meeting with 11th-seeded Washington.
As soon as a drive by South Carolina's BJ McKie and subsequent basket attempt went awry at the buzzer, the Spiders gathered at midcourt to celebrate yet another upset.
1711 W. 23rd St.
McKie scored 24 points for South Carolina (23-8), which hasn't won an NCAA first-round game since 1973. The Gamecocks were ousted
A driving layup by Richmond's Daryl Oliver ended the drought, and Richmond went up 58-56 a shot by Oliver with 3:58 to go. Two free throws by Eric Poole upped the margin to four points before McKie hit a three-pointer.
from the tournament in the opening round last year by Coppin State — only the third time a No. 15 seed had defeated a No. 2.
Two free throws by Stevenson with 1:29 left proved to be Richmond's last points, but it was enough for the Colonial Athletic Conference champions, who have won eight straight.
Richmond's Marseilles Brown had five three-pointers in the first half to offset 16 points by McKie, who made six of his first seven shots. The Gamecocks led 25-20 before Brown hit a three-pointer to spark a 14-4 run that put the Spiders up 34-29 at halftime.
North Carolina capsizes Navy in second half
The Associated Press
HARTFORD, Conn. — It took North Carolina a while to get going. When it finally did, it really got going.
The top-ranked Tar Heels (31-3) looked uninspired in the first half then pulled away to an 88-52 victory against Navy (19-11) yesterday in the opening round of the East Regional.
The game marked North Carolina's first NCAA tournament win without Dean Smith in 41 years. The last time North Carolina played an NCAA tournament game without Smith on the bench was in 1959 under Frank McGuire, when it lost to Navy in the first round. The Tar Heels' last victory in the NCAA Tournament without Smith was against Kansas, in triple overtime in the 1957 national championship game.
"In the second half we got it going, we had to get the emotion going," said Jamison, who had 17 points and 14 rebounds. "It's tougher than you think going in to play the No. 16 seed because you're supposed to win."
"The new things to me as a head coach were my first practice, my first exhibition game and my first regular-season game," said Bill Guthridge, Smith's assistant for 30 years and his successor. "I don't even think about it until you guys bring it up."
North Carolina outplayed the smaller Midshipmen in almost every facet of the game, holding them to 27 percent shooting and outrebounding them 57-33.
All-American Antawn Jamison boosted the Tar Heels' energy level after they managed just a 38-28 halftime lead.
"They are a terrific basketball team, and you would expect a No.1 seed to do what they did," said Navy coach Don DeVoe.
North Carolina led by 10 points after a sloppy first half in which it committed 12 turnovers, one below their season game average. In the second half, the Tar Heels went on a 19-2 run that gave them a 70-43 lead with 5:53 to play. The lead reached 86-49 with 29 seconds left on a three-pointer by Michael Brooker.
Flames doused in first tournament appearance
Tomorrow, North Carolina will face eighth-seeded North Carolina Charlotte in the second round.
The Associated Press
UNC-Charlotte and North Carolina.
The two seniors led North Carolina-Charlotte to a 77-62 win in the first round of the NCAA East Regional yesterday, ending the Flames' first ever appearance in the tournament and securing the much-hyped matchup between
paced and frenetic game.
HARTFORD, Conn. — Illinois-
Chicago couldn't diffuse DeMarco
Johnson or contain Sean Colson.
The Tar Heels matchup with the 49ers in tomorrow's second round will be the first meeting between the in-state rivals.
Johnson scored 30 points and had 13 reounds and Colson scored 18 points and had 13 assists as No. 9 seeded UNC-Charlotte (20-10) surged in the second half to pull away from the Flames in a fasttured five ties and 10 lead changes.
Anthony Coomes scored 11 of his 19 points in the second half but it wasn't enough for the ninth-seeded Illinois-Chicago team (22,6), one of four teams in the NCAA tournament for the first time. The andre Kimbroug added 10 points.
Johnson made his first five baskets and scored 18 of his points in the first half, which was played at sometimes dizzying speeds and featured five ties and 10 lead changes.
Johnson scored 12 of his points as the 49ers opened a 19-13 lead. The Flames climbed back into a tie with a 6-0 run, but later trailed 33-28 when Colson hit UNC-Charlotte's third straight three-pointer.
The 49ers scored 13 of the first 18 points of the second half for a 49-36 lead, keeping their cool even when Johnson had to sit for a while after taking a shot to his left thigh.

Commentary
Big Dance dream already a reality for some teams
All teams in the NCAA Tournament share the dream of advancing to the Final Four in San Antonio.
But a few teams' dreams already have come true by just making the 64-team field.
One of those teams is the Prairie View A&M Panthers, Kansas first round opponent today in the Midwest region.
With an RPI rating of 263, the No. 16-seeded Panthers' chances of running the table and winning the National Championship, according to analyst Danny Sheridan, are about five gazillion to one.
A No. 16 seed has never upset a No. 1 seed. Considering that fact, at least four teams in the tournament are just happy to be there, regardless of whether they win.
They are consumed with the experience of being a part of the Big Dance, Harold Blevins, head basketball coach at Arkansas-Pine Bluff, reminded me of that yesterday during an interview.
Adam
Herschman
sports@tansan.com
Blevins, whose team is a member of the same conference as Prairie View A&M, answered questions and shared his thoughts about the Panthers and how schools from smaller conferences
After 20 losing seasons, the 13-16 Panthers have arrived at the promised land.
promise land.
With only three-and-a-half athletic scholarships, they reached the NCAA Tournament by winning the Southwestern Athletic Conference. Kansas has 13 scholarship players.
Blevins said one of the goals of small-conference coaches was to just make it to the NCAA Tournament.
"We just don't recruit the same type of athletes." Blevins said. "Kansas recruits All-Americans, we recruit All-District and All-State."
Kansas has six McDonald's High School All-American's, Prairie View has none.
The Panthers, however, led by coach Elwood Plummer, have some solid players who play an exciting up-tempo game of basketball.
Six-foot-three guard Tamarron Sharpe is the No.1 player on offense. He is joined in the backcourt by 6-foot-1 guard King Whetstone.
The starting frontcourt is undersized — 6-foot-8 center Aron Thompson is the Panthers' tallest player. Forwards Julius Marble and Kevin Bell average about 10 points per contest. These statistics may not be phenomenal, but Prairie View A&M got the job done in the conference tournament.
In the conference finals, the Panthers trailed regular-season conference champion Texas Southern by 20 points. But they rallied behind an 18-point performance from Sharpe and 17 points from Bell to pull out the victory 59-57.
Instantly, the Panthers were-beamed into households across the country by ESPN, dancing at midcourt with smiles from ear to ear. You could tell how much it meant for them to make the NCAA Tournament.
Although the basketball team has enjoyed success this year, the Panthers' athletic program has not had much to celebrate in past years.
The football team has lost 77 consecutive games, and the basketball team hasn't had a winning season since 1978. In 1992, the basketball team was 0-28, and the following season it was 1-26.
Prairie View A&M basketball has come a long way, however, overcoming obstacles such as not being able to offer scholarships for more than a decade.
Many Kansas fans will watch the Jayhawks take on the 36-point underdog Panthers and will dream of Kansas' 'next opponent.
But for the fans cheering on the Prairie View Panthers' first ever NCAA Tournament appearance, the dream already has come true.

Turnovers, boards oust Owls early
West Virginia offense leaves holey Temple feeling desecrated
BOISE, Idaho — Temple's trademark matchup zone proved no match for West Virginia.
The Associated Press
The taller No. 10-seeded Mountaineers passed the ball through, over and around the No. 7-seed Owls and used an effective full-court press to hand Temple its worst loss in NCAA Tournament history, 82-52, yesterday in the first round.
Temple, 10-4 in opening-round games under coach John Chaney, had never lost to a lower-seeded team in the first round.
West Virginia (23-8) advanced to tomorrow's second round against the winner of the game between No. 2 Cincinnati and No. 15 Northern Arizona.
The Mountaineers' best tournament showing came in the 1959
Jarrod West led West Virginia with 15 points and Brent Solheim added 13 points and 10 rebounds. Brian Lewin also had 10 rebounds as the Mountaineers controlled the boards, 44-22.
"Experience set in. They start five seniors and it shows." Temple's Rasheed Brokenborough said.
"We're veterans who've played a lot of games, and we wanted to come out and make sure it wasn't the last game for us," said Solheim, who like the rest of his team is playing his first NCAA Tournament.
Temple shot just 32 percent in the first half, starting out 3-of-19 while West Virginia reeled off 11 unanswered points for a 24-8 lead that soon stretched to 18 points.
West Virginia scored the game's first nine points and never looked back.
"They never stopped shooting the ball," Chaney said. "Our rebounding was absolutely horrible. It was mind-boggling that could happen."
Three-point shot gives Cincinnati NCAA win
The Associated Press
Each time the Bearcats took the lead, the Lumberjacks had an answer. Bobby Brannen, the offensive threat for Cincinnati with 24 points, made one of two free throws, putting the Bearcats ahead 62-59 with 24.7 seconds to play.
BOISE, Idaho — Finally, a long shot went in for Cincinnati, and the Bearcats survived the long-shot challenge of Northern Arizona with a harrowing 65-62 first-round victory in the NCAA West regional.

Northern Arizona, a 15-point underdog in its first NCAA Tournament, frustrated the bigger, stronger Bearcats (27-5) with a pestering defense and a patient offense as the crowd at BSU Pavilion roared its approval.
Cincinnati tried to get the ball to Brannen. Instead, it went to Baker, who made the shot.
But Northern Arizona's Michael McNair calmly sank a 22-foot three-point shot to tie it 62-62 with 17.4 seconds left.

The Bearcats, ranked No. 9 nationally, entered the game as arguably the hottest team in the tournament with nine straight victories, but they made just three of their first 14 shots and were 7-29 at halftime. Before his big shot, Baker was only 2-8 from three-point range.
The Bearcats tried to take the lead three times, but then the Lumberjacks scored seven in a row to go ahead 53-47 on an offensive rebound with 9 minutes and 24 seconds to play. A 3-pointer by one of the nation's top long-range shooter, Andrew Mavis, put Northern Arizona on top 56-53 with 6 minutes and 38 seconds remaining.
Brannen's missed free throw opened the way for McNair's gamey three-point shot.

To the women of Kappa Kappa Gamma
The men of Phi Gamma Delta wish you the best in your endeavors after you exit from our daily lives. Ah, the sweet days of your well-contrived poetry, and the snowy white of the toilet paper that covered our rooms; these are the days that we will miss. Could we every forget furniture wars that manifested from our burgeoning relationship in the year of our Rock Chalk betrothal? I must address the three women who endured us from the start. First, there is Cook, the ray of sunshine that greeted us with each passing practice. Second comes Brookard, the raggedy girl that encapsulated our hearts with a keen sense of the obvious. At last, Danner, the bittersweet sound of the whip that cracked when the boys became distracted. Oh yes, these are the days that we will remember and hold close to our bosom.
Love,
Colby, Stephen, and the men of Phi Gamma Delta

March Madness gets ladies' touch
The Associated Press
Promising matchups in women's NCAA
Connecticut is ready to play and put the Nykesha Sales commotion to rest. Rutgers coach Vivian Stringer returns to Iowa, where she had some of her happiest and saddest times.
The NCAA women's basketball tournament — led by Tennessee's bid for the first three-peat — starts today with 16 first-round games at eight sites. Sixteen more games will be played at eight other sites tomorrow.
Connecticut, the 1995 national champion and a No. 1 seed in the four previous tournaments, was made a No. 2 this year. The Huskies (31-2) will meet No. 15 seed Fairfield (20-9) tonight.
"I think we're anxious to get going with a game," said coach Geno Auriemma. "We haven't played since (March 3). It's been awhile and we're anxious to have Friday night get here."
But the opponent isn't as important to the Huskies as the chance to silence the debate about Sales and her school scoring record.
The Sales debate resurfaced this week when ESPN The Magazine reported she had mistakenly been credited for a basket at Seton Hall on Jan. 22.
Even with the gift basket the injured All-American was allowed to score against Villanova, she still was two points short of the record. Seton Hall has said it would not change its game stats.
Georgia plays George Washington in the second game at UConn.
The other East Regional games also are today. In Norfolk, Va., top-seeded Old Dominion plays St. Francis and Nebraska takes on New Mexico. In Raleigh, N.C., it's Memphis against Youngstown
State and North Carolina State against Maine. In Tucson, Ariz., Virginia plays SMU and Arizona meets Santa Clara.
Notre Dame, seeking a return trip to the Final Four, faces Southwest Missouri State and its outstanding freshman, Jackie Stiles, in a Midwest Regional game in Lubbock, Texas.
Last year, Notre Dame began its Final Four march with two victories in Austin. In 1996, the Irish upset Purdue in a first-round game at Lubbock. And in 1995, the Irish won two of three games at the women's NIT in Amarillo.
"Well, the third time was charm. I don't know about the fourth yet," said coach Muffet McGraw.
Texas Tech, seeded No. 1 in the Midwest, plays Grambling in the other game at Lubbock. Also in the Midwest today, second-seeded Alabama plays North Carolina Greensboro and UCLA faces Michigan. Both games are in Tuscaloosa.
Iowa City, Iowa, and Chapel Hill,
N.C., have the other games today.
In the West Regional at Iowa City,
it's Iowa against Massachusetts
and Kansas against Tulane. In the
Mideast Regional at Chapel Hill,
North Carolina meets Howard and
Florida International faces Marquette.
Top-ranked Tennessee (33-0), trying to become the first women's team to win three consecutive NCAA titles, is a big favorite in Knoxville tomorrow against Liberty — a matchup of the nation's only unbeaten teams.
"We're being told they're expecting a tremendous crowd at Tennessee," said Liberty coach Rick Reeves. "I told my players, what if they do sell out? What-if you do play in front of 25,000 fans? That would be something special. What's the worst thing that could happen?"
Liberty (28-0) was not pleased at being seeded 16th.
Seminoles ready to run against Texas Christian
The Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY — Billy Tubbs wants to do one thing whenever he leads a basketball team on the floor — score as many points as possible. When Texas Christian doesn't score 100 or beat someone by 40, he's not satisfied.
Tubbs may have to make do with less when the team begins Midwest subregional play today against Florida State.
"I think everybody drifts a little more conservative at this particular time of year, but also what you see at this time of year is, as they say, 'letting them play." he said.
"If you can overpower the opposing team's guards, then at any time we can get a running game going," he said. "But to say we're going to run out there and we can overpower em,"
noway."
The fifth-seeded Horned Frogs (27-5) led the nation with 97.6 points per game. They scored 100 or more 14 times, but haven't done it in the past seven games.
No. 12 seed Florida State (17-13) is intent on running that streak to eight.
"They score a lot of points, but we have pride," said swingman LaMarr Greer. "We play defense. We don't like when people score on us. If people score 70 points, 80 points, we feel insulted."
"We're certainly not a team that necessarily walks the ball up the floor," said coach Steve Robinson.
The Seminoles averaged 70 points per game and held their opponents to 68 per game. But they also finished the year with 83 more turnovers than assists, and TCU is forcing nearly 21 turnovers per game.
Cardinal no longer in the red
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — At No. 10 in the Associated Press' final regular-season poll, Stanford is the highest-ranked team in the Midwest subregional at the United Center.
Stanford (26-4) lost three of four games after starting out 18-0, but the team is 7-1 since that mini-slump as it heads into today's NCAA tournament opener against the College of Charleston (24-5).
The Cardinal are seeded one notch below second-seeded Purdue (26-7), which plays Delaware (20-9) tomorrow night.
It's unlikely that the Cardinal will overlook Charleston.
With 7-foot-1 Tiny Young, 6-Bark Madsen and 6-Tetter Sauer, Stanford is much bigger than Charleston.
Charleston beat Stanford in the 1996 Great Alaska Shootout and was one of the surprise teams in last year's NCAA tournament. The Cougars stunned Maryland in the first round before losing by only four points to eventual national champion Arizona.
"We have one player over 6-6, and he hasn't played many minutes," said Cougars coach John Kresse. "It's going to be those big, tall redwoods against those skinny palmetto."
Today's first game also will feature a tall team (Clemson) against a small one (Western Michigan).
Clemson won two NCAA Tournament games last season before losing in double overtime to Minnesota.
"We definitely have to help our big guys on the boards," said guard Saddi Washington, who averages 21.7 points for Western.
They struggled, however, and had to defeat North Carolina State and Georgia Tech in the final week just to get into the tournament.
A perennial Big 10 powerhouse, Purdue is a prohibitive favorite against 15th-seeded Delaware of the America East Conference. The Boilermakers expect to get a lift from the return of guard Jaraan Cornell, an outstanding outside shooter who missed the last eight games with a sprained ankle.

Same
old story
By Chris Horton
(USPS 650-640)
The look on coach Roy William's face told the whole story.
Visibly fatigued, Williams and the Jayhawks met a warm reception last night at Allen Field House. The team was greeted by about 300 fans after its 80-75 second-round NCAA Tournament loss to Rhode Island. Williams held back tears while he spoke of his second-tournament hopes.
It's hard to express the pain and hurt you have,
because it means so much to you, he said.
Seniors C.B. C.Mehrath, Billy Thomas and Raef
Lubertz also book tablets addressing the crowd
"We had a good season and accomplished a lot of things," McGrath said. "We wish we could have gone further."
LaFrentz emphasized that, despite the loss, the team had learned a lot during the 35-4 season.
"You've got to take the good with the bad, and we've
hated or good. He said.
At bars throughout Lawrence, stunned Kansas fans
dealt with the bad.
Scott Martz, Lawrence resident, was at Harbour Lights, 1031 Massachusetts St.. when the game ended.
"When it happened, people came in and started pounding shots," Martz said. "Everyone was drowning their sorrows."
Kansas fans at the reception showed unwavering support for the Jayhawks, and an optimistic view of the future.
An improvement next season is inevitable, said Paul
ottettenbush, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore.
"I'm sure Roy can cook something up and we'll go all the way." Gottesben said.
Although supportive fans struggled to hold back tears, the most affected person of the evening clearly was coach Williams.
"I'm not intelligent enough to say the words that need to be said," Williams said before leading the team off the field house floor. "But please, understand
Commentary
Chill spreads through campus
6:05 p.m. — An icey wind whips down Jayhawk Boulevard.
The street is empty, the sky is gray and the ground is wet.
Funny, you think to yourself. "What about that early gimpse of spring warmth we experienced in Lawrence this year?"
Remember? It was sunny and warm the whole month of
February. And life was good for
Kansas men's basketball teams,
But then came the blizzard,
March 8. The game

brackets.
it sure got cold that day. A dark, miserable winter storm set in, covering the University with snow, drifts and ice.

Eric Weslander
But now, it is cold and bleak once again on Jayhawk Boulevard. Kansas has just lost
12:52 p.m. — Dr. Forest C. "Phog" Allen stands in front of Allen Field House, looking down as fans danced wals past him and into the field house. Their cheeks are flushed, and they are hurting to get out of the fgled night. The father of basketball coaching, as the plaque at his home, has inscribed that he is braver than they are.
1. Will you be able to keep your books in the library?
8. 35 p.m. — About 300 fans have assembled in the stands.
Many have not bothered to take off their winter coats.
This is a different Allen Field House—empty, silent and gloomy. There is no pop band, no cordfetti, and no joy. The place seems, well, cold.
And it almost seems as though the fans are holdfires together in the stands to keep warm.
9. 15 p.m. — Howard Hill, the Allen Field House announcer, is leading an impromptu crisis management session with the fans, asking their questions such as "Has anyone here ever been through some tough times?"
"Anyone else have a memory? A fun time they'd like to share?" Hill asks the crowd.
The fans share memories from the season. Coach Williams dancing on the ladder after cutting down the Big 12 Tournament nets. Lester Earl blocking a dunk during a game against Oklahoma.
9:25 p.m. — A big green bus rumbles down James Nais-
smith Drive, a cloud of exhaust trailing behind it. It pulls up to the south end of the fieldhouse.
Roy Williams is the first off of the bus, two pieces of luggage in hand. The players follow one by one and gather inside the door.
The fans make as much noise as 300 fans can make and the players slowly file onto the floor.
9:40 p.m. The stands are completely empty, and the bed house is silent
They assemble at center court, fighting back tears as the fans voice their appreciation for a great season that ended too soon. The players say a few quick words, then sum and leave.
it reminds you how hard all of this is on the players and coaches. Fans live woociously through the team's actions and accomplishments, but when it comes down to it, the players and coaches are the ones who hurt the most.
Not one of them exhibits even a crack of a smile.
And outside, as the fans shuffle back to their cars and the team shuffles back to Jayhawker Towers, that icey wind is still blowing.

Protesters continued to lobby in front of the Lied Center Friday and Saturday nights, objecting to Rock Chalk Revue's opening skit. "Don't Drink the Water."
Friday night's protest included an estimated 200 people and about 100 protested Saturday evening.
The protest, which began on Thursday, the Revue's opening night, continued because protesters wanted to show their displeasure to everyone who was going to see the show, said Elyse Towey, Native American Student Association president.
"We wanted to have our presence there so they would know we were serious about

"don't Drink the Water," performed by Alpha Delta Pi and Lambda Chi Alpha, was set in a jungle with a tribal theme. Protesters considered the skit's material to be offensive because it portrayed indigenous people as primitive and made lewd sexual

Hemenway: manning the phones.
"I thought it would be a good way to be available to people." Hemenway said, "It's a chance for people to call in and let me know what we need to be doing as a university." The chancellor said he wanted students and faculty to call him at KU Info to inquire about University-related issues.
"I have a reasonably good idea of what's going on at the University.
and what's coming up, so this will be an opportunity for people to ask me questions that they have," he said.
The staff is looking forward to Hemenway's return, said Susan Elkins, KU Info coordinator.
There were several reasons the chancellor's visit would be meaningful to KU info, she said.
"The purpose is to give us publicity and remind students we're here, and to give the chancellor a look at the other side of things over here and a chance to talk to random students." Elkins said.
Elkins said that the chancellor's good sense of humor complemented the laid-back environment at KU Info.

Institute reports embezzled funds attempted suicide
By Laura Roddy
Iroddy kanson.com
Kansas staff writer.
The University of Kansas has released little information about two incidents involving the Institute for Public Policy and Business Research that were made public last week.
Sgt. Chris Keary of the KU Public Safety Office could not confirm if the employee suspected of the embezzlement was the same employee who attempted suicide.
More than $1,000 was embezzled from the institute between Dec. 12 and March 4, and an employee attempted suicide in its Survey Research Center Tuesday evening.
Kathryn Clark, University Relations representative, said that the Survey Research Center would not close, but that no surveys were being done at this time.
The survey center employs one supervisor and about 40 students who conduct telephone surveys, mail surveys and focus group interviews, she said.
Clark said that the University of Kansas was in the process of reviewing the institute's procedures.
The director of the institute, Charles Krider, could not be reached for comment.
The public safety office has turned over the embezzlement case to the Douglas County District Attorney's Office. The case is being reviewed and no decision has been made whether to file charges. More information will not be released unless charges are filed, Keary said.
The investigation of the embezzlement began on March 3 when a student employee of the institute told police that additional hours were being added to several students' timesheets. When the students received their paychecks, Keary said, they cashed them and gave the extra money back to their supervisor.
The public safety office released the embezzlement information Tuesday. About 8:30 that night, police responded to a 911 call from the survey center in Fraser Hall.
Police found an employee in the back of the office with self-inflicted cuts on the left wrist. They also found a letter on a computer screen announcing the employee's resignation from the institute.
Clark said she could not comment on the resignation letter because it was a personnel matter.
The institute, created in 1985, coordinates University research in business, economics and public policy.

Students call skit offensive
Continued from page 1A
references to indigenous women.
Although the protest remained peaceful, some verbal bantering went on between Rock Chalk Revue patrons entering the Lied Center and the protesters gathered outside the front door.
Saturday evening, Chris Leiszler, Derby freshman, came outside the Lied Center with a Rock Chalk program and pointed out to protesters that Rock Chalk gave money to the United Way, who in turn provided funding for the Indian Center of Lawrence.
Heated verbal exchanges followed.
"Aren't you being a little ungrateful?." Leiszler asked some of the protesters.
"He's talking about money, we're talking about something a lot deeper," said Shannon Jones, Perry senior and vice president of the Native American Student Association. "Money is not a native value."
Most patrons entered the Lied Center without confrontation, but some vocalized their complaints about the people who gathered outside with signs, tribal flags and fliers, denouncing the skit in question.
"I think they need to spend their time doing something more important," said one woman, identifying herself only as Karen H.
Michael Linde, the man arrested Thursday night for disorderly conduct and interference with a public official or building, protested quietly on Friday and Saturday nights, holding a sign that read, "Exploitation ≠ Entertainment: Why do you have to exploit indigenous people to have fun?"
Linde is from Portland, Ore., but said he has been in Lawrence for the last month spending time with friends. He was scheduled to return home yesterday, but said he will now stay for his court date on March 25.
Linde was arrested Thursday, after yelling accusations of racism, sexism and exploitation from the Lied Center balcony during the performance of "Don't Drink the Water."
Linde said that he was sorry if he hurt the feelings of any of the performers, but that what he did was necessary.
Cate Pugh, Wamego junior and one of the skit's writers,
said that what Linda did on Thursday was inappropriate.
said that what Little did on Thursday was inappropriate.
"We feel like they have the right to protest, but I think what happened Thursday night was unfortunate. It made some people mad," she said.
Pugh said that the skit's writers had tried to take precautions to ensure that the performance would not be considered offensive. She said that they consulted with anthropology students and Rock Chalk advisers and were told that the material was acceptable.
Revue honors top performers
By Carl Kaminski
ckaminski@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
The months of preparation and hard work that went into the Rock Chalk Revue ended Saturday night at the Lied Center.
Despite being plagued by demonstrations led by the Native American Student Association and Haskell Indian Nations University on all three nights, the 49th annual revue was one of the most successful ever.
During Saturday's show, it was announced that Rock Chalk donated $3,188 hours of community service to the United Way and other Douglas County non-profit organizations. A check for $43,000 was presented to the United Wav.
Revue executive director Kyle Evans, Derby senior, said that the demonstrations may have helped ticket sales. Sales for Thursday's show went up after word of the protest spread, he said. Friday and Saturday's shows sold out.
There were fewer service hours donated than last year, but the $43,000 was one of the highest totals ever raised by the revue. Rob Hagman, revue community service coordinator and Pittsburg senior, said that this was only the second time that Rock Chalk has earned more than $40,000 for the United Way.
Projected totals had been just at the $40,000 mark, but increased ticket sales and good business management helped boost the total, Haarman said.
Awards were presented to the most charitable organizations.
The paired division winner was Alpha Delta Pi sorority and Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. They averaged 22.51 service hours per person. The runner-up was Delta Gamma sorority and Sigma Nu fraternity with 17.43 service hours per person.
Awards were also presented for excellence to the five shows. The award for best show went to Phi Gamma Delta fraternity and Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority's "Driving Fore Destiny." The show also took home the awards for best actor, Chris DeTrayt; best actress, Danner Evans; best set design and best use of costumes.
DeTray, a music major, said he was happy to have more time to perform with his group. The Pool Boys, now that the revue is over.

Campus should be closed longer to increase safety of pedestrians
Excessive traffic marts the heart of our campus during rush hour. What should be a peaceful stroll down Jawhayk Boulevard has become a perilous trek through reckless drivers darting around vulnerable pedestrians.
Something must be done.
Unless the parking department extends the hours that campus is closed to unauthorized traffic to 7 p.m., Jayhawk Boulevard will continue to pose a danger to pedestrians and motorists.
ers can't recognize a cross walk.
Anyone who has attempted to cross Jayhawk Boulevard in the evening has felt the terror of having to dodge over-determined drivers. Maybe they are in a hurry to swallow up a precious parking space. Or maybe they struggle to see pedestrians in the dim twilight. But on a campus of higher learning, it's puzzling why most drivand pedestrians' headaches would vanish with the groans of roaring engines and the wails of blaring horns.
Surely the drivers can recognize that the excessive traffic threatens their safety as well. Driving on campus between 5 and 7 p.m. is a white-knuckled rat race through negligent motorists and narrow lanes.
Faculty and staff leaving campus for the day and students eager to find prime parking spaces for evening studies and events make a dangerous combination.
The buses, though they help alleviate some traffic, travel in long convoys, blocking traffic and adding to drivers' frustrations. And drivers trying to get from one part of Lawrence to another compound the problem.
But it doesn't have to be this way.
But it doesn't have to be this way!
If the parking department would keep Jayhawk Boulevard closed to unauthorized traffic until 7 p.m., safety concerns
The advantages to such a plan are numerous:
Drivers leaving campus in the evening would have time to exit safely.
Spaces would open up for motorists arriving on campus in the evening.
Pedestrians would be able to safely traverse Mount Oread.
As concerned members of the University of Kansas community, we must voice our disgust with the excessive evening traffic on Jayhawk Boulevard. Call the parking department today and urge them to close the boulevard to unauthorized traffic between 5 and 7 p.m. It's our boulevard, our campus and our safety.

Better minority retention needed
The University of Kansas has programs that support students academically, but statistics show that the current efforts are not enough to retain cultural minorities. The University should work to increase the percentages of returning cultural minorities.
The Office of Institutional Research and Planning reported that 68.8 percent of minority students, defined as Asian Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans or Pacific Islanders, and African Americans, enrolled in Fall 1995 returned for the Fall 1996 academic year. This figure was less than the 70.3 percent of caucasian students who returned in 1996. Although the difference seems minimal, it is consistent from year to year. Of the 336 cultural minority students
enrolled in fall 1966, 242 returned in Fall 1997. That is a 70.3 percent retention rate. Caucasian students had a 78.6 percent retention rate that year. The University's overall retention rate for the 1996 to 1997 academic year was 77.8 percent.
Many efforts are being made to help students make it through the system. Programs such as Students Together Exeelling in Education as Peers offer mentoring and tutoring opportunities for minority students. The Student Development Center, Supportive Educational Services and the Multicultural Resource Center all offer academic services to minority students. But this is not enough.
Dr. Sherwood Thompson, Director of the Office of Minority Affairs, said that having faculty, staff and administrators who are members of the same race and ethnicity as minority students is crucial to these students' retention. We agree. The administration should do more to make the University an attractive place for minority students to come—and to stay.
ity students from using them. Some Caucasian students may feel uncomfortable using services with the words minority or multicultural attached to the name. This feeling of a lack of ownership is the same feeling that helps cultural minority students get lost in the cracks.
There are no offices or services on campus that exclude white or cultural minor

Perspective
Like Titanic, movie industry a sinking ship
Titanic is going to sweep the Oscars March 23, and then civilization as we know it will end.
POLICE
That's only a slight exaggeration.
Things will continue just as before. The troubles in the Middle East will rage on, Ken Starr will go back to work and the Hollywood movies will just keep on getting dumber.
Jeremy Doherty opinion @ kansan.com
Yup. Thanks to James Cameron's magnum opus, which cost the bean counters more than $200 million, the floodgates have opened for a new wave of bloated mediocrity.
I liked Titanic. Heck, I saw it twice. It is a visceral, haunting piece of pop entertainment. A Gone With the Wind for the 90s? Sure, why not?
It's also manipulative, awkwardly written and contains about 23 shots too many of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet racing through flooded corridors. Many have already pointed out that Titanic is more or less Romeo & Juliet Go to the Poseidon Adventure.
Let's be frank. The only reason the movie worked at all was because its director always assembles some semblance of a story before he shoots a foot of film. But he's the exception. For every expertly crafted Titanic, we get a dozen over-priced thrill rides that only offer cheap imitations, minus the soul or originality. Look no further than Con Air, a weird mix of Die Hard, Airport and The Dirty Dozen.
Even Cameron himself is slipping. Despite being considered one of the more nimble director/writers in the action genre (that's not saying much, mind you), there was one crucial Oscar nomination that he didn't get.
It's important to remember that the Oscars as an institution are relatively meaningless. Does anyone remember that Citizen Kane, considered to be the definitive classic of American moviemaking, only won a single Academy Award? How many can come up with the title of the movie which beat Orson Welles's masterpiece?
If Titanic takes home the top honor, and it most assuredly will, it will become the first movie since 1965's The Sound of the Music to do without a getting a nod in either of the two writing categories.
In the wake of the Spielberg/Lucas glory days of the '70s, Hollywood focused on bigger budgets, more special effects and less story. Studios found they could make just as much money overseas, and who wanted to spend a lot of time overdubbing and subtitling complicated dialogue? They had a huge investment to protect, so who cared about content as long as the green kept rolling in?
Braveheart and The English Patient were the previous two.
But awards do make an immediate impact on the movies in production. When work of a certain calibre is recognized, it encourages further work in the same vein. Why else did we see a string of Vietnam war movies after *Platoon* won Best Picture in 1986?
Wait, it gets better. If *Titanic* takes home the golden boy, which it will, then it will become the third Best Picture winner in three years to not take home either of the two writing Oscar's (1995's
It's surprising to recall that Oscar winners from the past like Midnight Cowboy and The Godfather had been summertime hits. Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly suggests correctly that they would struggle, much like last year's critics' favorite, L.A. Confidential, in today's climate.
Is there a light ahead? Not by judging the upcoming slate of event movies for this summer. We've got two meteorite movies, *Lethal Weapon 4* and a remake of *The Avengers* on the horizon. Plus, the team behind Independence Day is handing us a version of Godzilla which should boast plenty of thrills and very little irony.
The meaning of all this should be obvious. We are rapidly approaching a period when Hollywood no longer even pretends that it's producing intelligent, ground-breaking entertainment. It's all razzle-daze spectacle, part of the thrill ride.
After Sound of Music won Best Picture, we were treated to the first works of the movie brats Coppola, Scorsese and Altman.
Perhaps their successors will pull up in a lifeboat soon, before we go down with the ship again.

Rock Chalk Revue: the University's 'class' act
If you are tired of hearing about how Rock Chalk Reve is a bad thing, read this and you'll know how to shut
you'll know how to shut those critics up.
Economic justice overcomes institutionalized dependence on charity while the Revue teaches us to support institutionalized dependency. It does so by allowing college kids to have fun and be creative in a manner that teaches one not to challenge cultural assumptions about charity. A creative idea would be to call for a welfare state that worked well. If we spent 49
Also, insulated from the injustices that these funds are combating, the privileged aren't compelled to combat the causes of injustice.

Bachand
 opinion@kansan.com
I've heard people complain about the Native American Student Association protesting. The common response is, "We're giving you money, why are you biting the hand that feeds you?" Giving money with that attitude only lets the revue off the hook by ignoring the root causes for the need of charity, but adds to the condescending classist values.
By holding events such as the Revue, you reinforce negative cultural stereotypes when they exist in a skit and institutionalize dependences. You again reinforce leisure class values. I can afford it, so the good I do for society can take frivolous forms because it is enjoyable and hey, "the needy" are being paid — the "by me" is implicit.
years of Revue hours on that one, we'd have a winner. Why isn't that an option? Probably because it isn't part of the dominant values that the Revue seeks to reinforce.
Guess what gang: The richest people on this campus could be raped tomorrow, walk into Womens' Transitional Care Services and get United Way-funded aid. But wouldn't it be better to start an escort program and educate children about sexual violence and the objectification of women in order to stop rape from happening? Of course, we wouldn't have time to work on the
skit. We'd be doing something that cuts across class lines to help people, whereas raising money through a skit means that we can hang out with the same people we've socialized with, never challenging our service values by working with the "served." This further reinforces the values and class structures that led to the current dispute.
How many revue shows ever have had partnerships with the Social Service League, the Pelathe Community Center, a.k.a. Lawrence's 'Indian Center,' or other United Way-funded organizations? That seems like a Revue skit I would support. Who are the judges that select the skits? Are they local artisans? Alumni? People from all segments of the community? If you want to silence your critics, ask and answer your critics. If they're involved in the process, you won't have these problems.
Arguments against political correctness, in which line drawing and slippery-slope arguments are made, are a subconscious attempt to repel the critiques and the exposure of the inadequacy of events like the Revue. Revue organizers should admit its problems and make it better.
I'm not offended by everything, but defenses of the Revue, in which service is secondary to pageantry, where cultural insensitivity is, at least this year, reproduced and displayed, and the dependency culture is reinforced, offend me. For those of you who say, "Something offends everyone in this day and age," you should think about who has a right to be offended. I have no sympathy for Lexus-driving caucasian men who go to Alvamar three times a week and might be essentialized as wearing sweater vests on the 14th hole. To compare them to the injustices done to even the caucasian lower class is repulsive. Society keeps nothing from the Alvamar guy for wearing a vest, but our values keep the homeless out of the library, where people can go to better themselves, because the way they smell offends those of us who can count on a shower several times a week.
The Revue is an excuse to celebrate privilege. Act against it and its classism.

Feedback
Columnist omitted several vital facts
Although I did find most of Erin Rooney's recent column, "You Should run from, not for, Student Senate" entertaining. I think Rooney should have included at least two more items to her argument.
First, she should have noted that she previously had been a
candidate for Student Senate and, after she lost her election, she was quoted in this newspaper as being quite distressed about her loss. Most students on campus, indeed, do not give "a rat's [noun deleted] about Senate," but until recently, Rooney was not among them. Her criticisms seem to be, at best, disingenuous and at worst, bitter.
Second, her column lacked any self-examination. Her point that being on Senate probably will not matter in one's life three years down the road is well taken. But in three years, how much will be a columnist for The University Daily Kansan matter?

Hepatitis can ruin spring break
Watkins offers vaccines, boosters to protect travelers
By Lisa Stevens John
jlohn@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
For students who are planning to travel out of the country during spring break, now is the time to be vaccinated for hepatitis A.
Randall Rock, physician and chief of staff at Watkins Health Center, said the vaccines were available at the health center for a cost of $53. A booster shot, also $53, given six to 12 months after
the initial vaccine should ensure immunity for up to 10 years, Rock said.
"Though the hepatitis A vaccine immunization is not routinely advised for everybody in the population, those at high risk — those traveling to areas with known high rates of hepatitis A — are advised to go ahead and get the immunization prior to travel," Rock said.
Areas with high rates of hepatitis A include Mexico, Central America, parts of Asia, and other third world countries Rock said.
"The virus is often spread from food contaminated with body excrement or feces," Rock said. "In general, this is not something you catch on a bus or in a classroom."
Rock said hepatitis A could be spread by sharing food or drink. He also said the virus could be spread through close physical contact and between roommates and family members who share the same restrooms.
Symptoms of hepatitis A include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, fatigue, fever, and a yellowing of the skin and eyes, he said.
Since there is no medication that can treat the initial illness of viral hepatitis, health professionals recommend rest, fluids and a good diet. The infected individual should be careful not to spread the disease to others.

Students, faculty support reform plan
$82 million reform goes up for debate in House Tuesday
By Brandon Copley
bcopple@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
For the plan to reform higher education in Kansas, this is it—this week the plan either takes the first step toward historic reform or takes its place on the shelf with more than 20 previous studies of higher education governance.
The University of Kansas has supported the Board of Regents' position that the plan shouldn't pass because it abolishes the Regents. On campus, however, some students and faculty are finding plenty to like in the plan, especially in its financial package.
The plan contains about $82 million in increased funding for universities. According to committee breakdowns for 1999 and 2000, the University of Kansas would receive about 30 percent of enhancements for universities.
Last week the committee created a new scholarship program designed to help middle-income students who don't qualify for most need-based aid and who maintain a grade point average above 3.0.
The committee left most of the details out, but Rep. Mike Farmer, R-Wichita, said he thought the scholarship would provide about $1,000 a year to 6,000 students statewide.
Rep. Henry Helgerson, D-Wichita, said the scholarship was aimed at students who had to work and borrow to pay for school.
"We hear more and more about people who are just above the need threshold but still have trouble paying for college," he said. "It's not going to be everything to everyone, but it's a start."
Robert Valentine, Topeka junior, is one of those students. He makes minimum wage at Watson Library and receives federal Stafford Loans, but he does not qualify for need-based aid.
"If they're going to offer the money, I'll take it," he said. "It might help me graduate a little sooner, if it was enough so I could work a little less."
The scholarships and the enhancements were enough to sway Samantha Bowman, Student Legislative Awareness Board director. Until last week, Bowman opposed the plan because she felt the Regents system was effective.
"We've been skeptical because it looked like they were fixing something that wasn't broken," she said.
"But it's more money for students, more money for technology, more money for faculty salaries, and I'm convinced that students can only win by having more coordination."
Some faculty also like the sound
Some faculty also like the sound of increased funding.
Sid Shapiro, professor of law, said
he was concerned that although the state is enjoying tremendous budget surpluses, the reform plan is the only proposal to significantly increase university funding.
"After years of neglect, you really need to pump some money in here," he said. "My impression of the Regents system is it works pretty well, but if you can build a system that's better funded, it's worth changing the organizational structure."
Last week, the Senate Ways and Means committee trimmed $3 million from the governor's recommended budget for the University. Shapiro, who supervises and teaches the law school's legislative clinic, said such cuts were typical.
The plan, which would replace the Regents with a Council on Higher Education, is scheduled for debate in the House tomorrow.
Speaker of the House Tim Shallenburger has said the House will approve the plan, but Gov. Bill Graves remains skeptical, and his support will be essential in the Senate.

"The money we get from the St. Patrick's Day Parade will give us the funds to be able to go into the schools and promote the casting club," Schnaer said. "We also give the kids in our club some fishing equipment."
Last week, the parade group raised $14,000 at their annual sports and celebrity auction. By the time the funds from the auction are added to the proceeds from the Shamrock Shuffle 5K run and the parade, Shaughnessy said he estimated there would be close to $20,000 to give away.
"This is the only St. Patrick's Day parade in the U.S. that uses the parade for a fund raiser for local charities and organizations," Shaughnessy said.

The children learn how to bait hooks, cast their lines and to recognize different kinds of fish. They also are taught water safety.
Schnaer expects the membership in the Crown Casting Club to grow.
Miles Schnaer, owner of Crown Automotive, organized the Crown Casting Club of which 180 children, age 2 to 18, are members. The group meets monthly at the Crown Toyota service building and held one outdoor fishing tournament last year.
"We want to teach as many kids as we can to have fun, to get families together and to keep the kids interested in doing something that they can do for the rest of their lives," Schnaer said.

Date Rape Drug
Volume 12, Number 2, Spring 1998 health news for students from Watkins Health Center Student Health Services/Division of Student Affairs/The University of Kansas
You've heard of Rohypnol What's GHB?
GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyrate) is yet another date rape drug that acts as a depressant on the central nervous system. Effects can be felt within 15minutes of ingestion and may cause dizziness, nausea, vomiting, confusion, respiratory depression, unconsciousness, coma, and death. Similar to Rohypnol, GHB may cause "anterograde amnesia," (memory loss) after ingestion.
GHB was tested for potential medical uses, but was never approved by the FDA. It was also promoted for body building, although the effectiveness was never documented. The FDA issued a warning to consumers to stop using GHB due to harmful effects.
GHB is usually made in a clear liquid form that is colorless and odorless However, to disguise the salty taste it is often mixed in a sweet liqueur and promoted as a special potion or an energy drink.
Take necessary precautions:
1. Refuse drinks offered by anyone you don't know.
2. Be alert. Your drink should never be left unattended!
3. If you realize your drink has been left unattended, get rid of it.
4. Don't take a drink from a punch bowl or from a container that has been passed around.
5. Don't drink anything that has an unusual taste or appearance (e.g., salty taste, excessive foam, unexplained residue.
What to do if you think you've been drugged:
1. Get to a safe place and get help immediately.
3. Take the container you drank from (and any remaining beverage) to authorities fortesting.
2. Ask a friend to take you to a medical facility immediately.
For more information, call the Department of Health Promotion and Education, 864-9570.
Classes, Work, Roommates = I HAVE STRESS
Stress is a normal part of everyone's life, including the life of college students. We need challenges to motivate us... but prolonged stress can be harmful.
Stress usually is not the result of a single event. It is cumulative and often begins with barely noticeable events or changes. College students report a number of life events and experiences that add stress to their lives such as finals, work, roommate issues, and homesickness.
These are four steps one can take to help manage stress:
1. Identify your "stressors." What makes you feel "stressed out?" Students usually suffer from frustration and overload due to time management issues. Plan and manage time carefully to make the most of your day.
2. Use your favorite relaxation technique for relief of stressors. Listen to music, rest for a few minutes, get a back rub, or take up yoga. Try to relax mentally and emotionally.
3. Think positively and recognize when to seek support from others. Take one thing and one day at a time. Also, don't try to escape the problem by dulling your senses with alcohol, drugs, or other excesses. This does not make the problem go away!
4. Be as fit and healthy as possible.Have proper nutrition, exercise,and get enough sleep.The healthier you are,the better able you are to cope with stress.
If you have difficulty dealing with stressors in your life, professional counseling is available at Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) in Watkins Health Center. Contact CAPS at 864-2277.

Your perceptions, abilities, and attitudes are affected. You're starting to feel pretty "cool."

Safer tanning? I don't think so!
Every year at this time numerous college students look forward to basking in the sun on the beach or on the ski slopes over spring break. Although the bronze complexion may appear healthier, people who worship the sun are causing long term damage to their skin and are putting themselves at risk for skin cancer.
Research has proven that ultraviolet rays, both UVA and UVB, cause premature aging and skin cancer. Each year over 800,000 people are diagnosed with skin cancer. The majority of those cases occur on sun damaged skin.
As college students, you probably won't see the damage from tanning for some years, but eventually you will see wrinkles, sagging skin, sun spots and maybe even skin cancer. You would think that would scare people so they wouldn't go out into the sun. But it doesn't.
So if you cannot avoid going out in the sun, you need to take steps to protect yourself :
- Choose a sunscreen with sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher. Also, look for waterproof or water-resistant screens.
- Look for sunscreens that protect against both UVA and UVB rays.
- Apply sunscreens 30 to 45 minutes before exposure.
- The sun is the strongest between 10 A.M. and 3 P.M., so frequently generously apply sunscreen.
- Wear protective clothing.A baseball cap will help protect your face.Also shield your eyes by wearing UV-blocking sunglasses.
- Use some form of protection on your lips. Look for lip balms that contain SPF.
Doc Talk Avoiding food/drink illness during travel
Robert L. Brown, M.D.
Board Certified, Family Practic
Contaminated food or drink can be major sources of stomach and intestinal illnesses for students traveling outside the United States for Spring Break. If you are one of those students traveling to a country that has poor sanitation, Dr. Robert Brown, one of the physicians at Watkins Health Center, offers this advice:
- Only drink beverages that are bottled or canned.
- Brush your teeth only with bottled water.
- Ice in drinks should be avoided. It might be made from unsafe water.
- Food should be selected with care. Foods of particular concern include: sala publication of The Department of Health Promotion and Education Watkins Health Center / The University of Kansas / Lawrence, KS 66045-8830/785.864.9500 an equal opportunity / affirmative action employer web site://www.ukans.edu/home/watkins e-mail: healthyjayhawk@ukans.edu
- Food should be selected with care. Foods of particular concern include. salads, uncooked vegetables and fruit, unpasteurized milk and milk products, raw meat, and shellfish. If you peel fruit yourself, it is generally safe.
- Avoid buying food from street vendors. Choose establishments that appear safe.

Health center awarded HIV program grant
Q
The Department of Health Promotion and Education at Watkins Health Center has received a grant from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment to develop an HIV risk-reduction program for female college students. The program will be conducted in residence halls, but all women attending The University of Kansas are welcome to participate.
There will be a series of 5 programs held throughout the semester and participants will be encouraged to attend the entire series. Each program will last 30-45 minutes and will focus on HIV education for women. A variety of related topics including sexually transmitted diseases, relationships, self esteem, and alcohol will be incorporated into the series of programs.
Women will walk away with a heightened awareness about campus and community resources for HIV, knowledge about healthy behaviors, communication skills for a healthy relationship, increased awareness about alcohol and its impact on sexual activities, and the ability to protect themselves from the virus. The programs will be presented by Department of Health Promotion and Education staff and other health professionals in the community.
In addition to being informative, the programs will be both fun and interactive. An incentive system will be set up to encourage participation and refreshments will be provided at all programs.
Women are increasingly becoming affected by HIV. Approximately 42% of the 21.8 million people living with HIV and AIDS worldwide are women. According to the Global AIDS Policy Coalition, if current trends continue, 60-70 million adults will have been infected with HIV by the end of the year. These statistics clearly demonstrate the need for more HIV education for women of all ages.
If you are have questions about the programs or would like to be involved with the grant, please contact Katy Ferrarini, Project Coordinator, at 864-9577.

Jailed teacher pregnant again
The Associated Press
DES MOINES, Wash. — A former teacher imprisoned for having a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old boy, is pregnant for the second time.
Mary Kay Letourneau, 36, is about six weeks pregnant, attorney David Gherek told reporters at his suburban Seattle home. Gherek said that Letourneau did not tell him who the father was.
"I didn't ask her and she didn't volunteer to tell me," Gehrke said.
But Gehrke said the father likely was the 14-year-old boy she considers the love of her life. And if that is the case, he said, she could face new criminal charges.
Gehrke said Letourneau, who has five children, told him the father is aware of the pregnancy.
Letourneau is serving 7 1/2 years in prison for her sexual relationship with the boy. Their daughter was born last year.
Letourneau received a suspended sentence in January after pleading guilty to second-degree rape. But she was imprisoned in February after she and the boy were found together in a car.
The boy told a counselor that he and Ms. Letourneau had sex before she went to jail.
Letourneau has had several miscarriages and her lawyer said she did not want her pregnancy to be disclosed until she had passed the first trimester.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported her pregnancy Saturday, citing sources who said Letourneau underwent a sonogram Wednesday at the Women's Correctional Center. The sonogram showed a fetal heartbeat.
Letourneau is worried about her future and her pregnancy, Gehrke said.
"She's concerned about how this will lay on her future, her children, her image," he said. "It's another blow to everyone."
Telephone calls to the boy's lawyer were not returned. Prison officials also did not return calls.
Letourneau's husband has filed for divorce and moved to Alaska with their four children.
The boy's mother has custody of his and Letourneau's 9-month-old daughter.
Students socially enjoy unique language

Members of the University of Kansas Dutch Club gathered yesterday to socialize, eat pancakes and — what else? — speak Dutch.
By Emily C. Forsyth
eforsyth@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The Dutch Club meets every three weeks to practice speaking in a social atmosphere, talk about the culture, watch movies and eat Dutch food. The club has been in existence since Fall 1995.
Five students and the instructor of the University's Dutch program, Manon Heesen, Utrecht, Holland, graduate student, attended yesterday's meeting.
nose who attended said that they enjoyed studying Dutch because it was a unique language. the classes were small and it was fun.
Todd Johnson, Hutchinson junior, said he enjoyed participating in club activities and learning more about Holland.
"It is a really small country, but it has a really vibrant culture from pancakes to art." Johnson said. "Manon has put a big emphasis on the culture and learning about the people and their ways."
Catherine Weis, Groves, Mo., junior, said that the club was an important part of the class because the nature of the Dutch language was social.
"It's easier to speak Dutch on a more social level than learning it in a book." Weis said.
Students in Heesen's classes not only get a good dose of Dutch culture but also receive a
high rate of individual attention. Heesen teaches elementary, intermediate and independent study classes and has a total of 12 students in all three classes.
Scott Kuschmider, Olathe senior, said that the class size played a big part in his decision to study Dutch.
"I studied Spanish in high school, but it was always an environment of 25 to 30 people," Kuschmider said. "For me, that environment was too big to learn a language in."
Weis said that she began studying Dutch because she wanted more human interaction and because it was a distinct language.
"It was original," Weis said. "It wasn't something that everyone else was taking."
Heesen said that people also took the class because they had Dutch ancestors or a Dutch surname and wanted to learn more about the Germanic language.
Heesen, who came to the University last fall from Holland, will continue teaching through next Spring as part of an internship at Utrecht University. She tries to expose her students to the Dutch culture every chance she gets.
Yesterday, Heesen prepared Dutch pancakes for students. Dutch pancakes usually are eaten for dinner, and they are eaten with a Dutch syrup called stroop, Heesen said.
Heesen said that she tried to incorporate lessons about Holland's culture into her classes in addition to language skills.
"I sort of assume that those people who take Dutch do that at least partly because they're interested in the culture," Heesen said.
Phone charges slam students
By Jeremy M. Doherty
jdoherty@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Slamming and cramming, charging for a telephone company's services and products without authorization are on the rise.
An unapproved change of a telecommunications provider is known as slamming. Cramming refers to an unauthorized charge on products such as phone cards and Caller ID.
College students are particularly vulnerable to heavy charges for services they did not request, said Barbara Wilkinson, director of consumer marketing for Southwestern Bell Telephone Co.
"Typically, college students live in shared housing and on a shared phone line," Wilkinson said. "Potentially, there's a shared responsibility in handling the household expenses."
Wilkinson said students often bring about the high costs.
"In some circumstances, someone may have called and responded to an offer for a calling card or a rate on a long distance card." Wilkinson said.
Slamming charges often are related to home Internet service and calling cards, Wilkinson said.
According to figures released last month by Southwestern Bell, the company responded to nearly 558,000 slamming complaints throughout 1997 from customers in Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas. About 28,000 complaints came from customers in Kansas.
Figures on cramming are incomplete.
"Cramming is relatively new," she said. "We started seeing increases in it late last year."

Editham Velez, Southwestern Bell representative, said students are easy targets for companies who put heavy fines on customers.
"He didn't know what they were offering to him," Haas said. "You've got to really listen to what they say and the way they word it. They know what they're doing."
Jeff Haas, Overland Park senior, said he splits his monthly bills with three roommates, one of whom fell victim to a scam.
Wilkinson said she did not know how many of the 558,000 complaints came from college students.
Cookie crook strikes out, might serve life sentence
The Associated Press
SANTA ANA, Calif. — A man who stole four chocolate chip cookies from a restaurant must serve 28 years to life in prison under California's "three strikes" law.
Judge Jean Rheinheimer refused Friday to reduce the sentence given in 1995 to Kevin Weber, previously convicted of a burglary and assault with a firearm.
"I just see no reason to say Mr. Weber is anything other than the three-strikes defendant the people and the Legislature had in mind when they enacted this law," the judge said.
Three-strikes laws mandate tough punishments after a third conviction. Weber, 34, is one of dozens whose three-strike sentences were re-evaluated following a 1996 Supreme Court decision giving judges flexibility in sentencing.
Prosecutor James Hicks said Weber, who fled the scene after an incident occurred near a life science company stealing only cookies.
"If we wouldn't have had an audible alarm, we probably would have found money stuffed in his pockets," Hicks said.
Weber's attorney argued for leniency, pointing out the crime itself carries a maximum three-year sentence.

ith St. Patrick's Day just a day away, questions are certain to arise about the means one should take to insure full immersion into the hiberian culture.
To help readers who may be unsure about the proper protocol for this event, I've compiled a list of frequently asked questions along with answers that may help the uninitiated enjoy the full St. Patrick's Day experience.
Q: What am I supposed to do on St. Patrick's Day?
A: Drink. Drink a lot. Beer is preferable, but Irish Whiskey also will do.
Q: How much beer should I drink?
A: That's a tough one. Many people will use catch phrases like "liver damage," "alcohol poisoning" and "fire and bristmite" to try and preach the virtues of moderation, but chances are they're drunk themselves. Regarding liver damage, most people can enjoy a full life with only two or three of their original four lobes healthy.
A tip I have found useful is a special mathematical formula a "doctor" once shared with me at a bar. It involves taking your weight and dividing it by 10, then drinking that many beers. For legal reasons, I don't advise taking this seriously. The guy had a stethoscope and some pills, but something tells me he wasn't a doctor.
Q: What about green beer?
A: I've talked to managers and bartenders at several area drinking establishments As far as I know, the Red Lyon Tavern, 944 Massachusetts St., is the only bar serving green beer tomorrow. However, the tap water in Lawrence will be green for St. Patrick's Day. The leprechauns in charge of bleaching the water supply will be given the day off, enabling everyone in the city to enjoy the water's natural color.
Q. Is there going to be a parade this year? Where will it be?
Be? I need to dress up for it?
A: Slow down. There will be a parade in Lawrence this year, it will begin at 12th and Massachusetts streets and finish at the Flamingo Club, 501 N. Ninth St. Bring the kids.
One thing to keep in mind: the parade will not actually enter the bars. One might have to go outside to see it. City ordinances prohibit drinking in public, so debauchers may want to get a window seat at whichever location they choose to responsibly enjoy their beers.
There is no strict dress code for St. Patrick's Day other than the visible display of the color green in one's ensemble. Opting to not wear green may result in a pinch on the arse, which is precisely the reason I never wear green.
Q: What if I don't drink?
A: There's always church.
Q: What if I live far from the bar I want to go to? Should I drive?
A: NO! Aside from being highly illegal, driving drunk is one of the most socially irresponsible things you can do. I generally hitchhike to and from bars. It's a great way to meet people. Just make sure that the friendly person giving the ride isn't as inebriated as you are, and keep your bloodshot eyes open enough to make sure they're taking you to your home.
Q: Why do you feel such a strong need to drink? Are you that unhappy? Is it really necessary to keep a reserve six-pack in the tank of your toilet?
A: It's funny that you should ask that because I was just about to touch upon the origin of St. Patrick's Day. In Ireland, where St. Patrick did his best work, the holiday is more of a religious celebration than anything else. It wasn't until corporate executives met with ad agents in Boston in 1737 that the American version was created with the first St. Paddy's parade. You see, the suits realized that if they took the emphasis off of the holiday's
religious significance and instead highlighted leprechauns and four leaf clovers and green beer, it would help Lucky Charms sales, whose original mascot was a very unpopular three-toed sloth.
More recently, St. Patrick's Day has been embraced by the brewing community to promote heavy drinking in March; a month with no other legitimate reasons to to get hammered other than the vernal equinox.
G: What beers would be appropriate for drinking on St. Patrick's Day?
A: Only authentic Irish beers will suffice. The key to finding authentic Irish beers is by looking for an authentic Irish name. Some examples are Guinness, O'Doul's and Schiltz. Guinness is brewed in Dublin and is a perennial favorite with University students like Patrick Scaly, Irish-American and Lawrence sophomore.
"If I go to a bar, I want to go to a place with Guinness on tan." Seally said.
Although it's not from Ireland, Free State Brewing Co.,
636 Massachusetts St., will be brewing a Grace O'Malley's Irish Ale, which owner Chuck Magerl said was named after a female Irish pirate. Knowing Free State beer, Grace should be some pretty good booty.
G: What time should I go downtown if I would like to see the parade?
A: The parade starts at 1 p.m., so most bars will be opening at 11 a.m. to accommodate the pre-parade festivities.
G: Will there be many people out on tomorrow? — it is a school/ work day.
A: Most people will ditch school or work on St. Patrick's Day, said Scaly, "It's nothing but an excuse for people to drop what they're doing and go out to drink and have a parade."
For those who feel obligated to be good students or employees, there's always the evening, he said.
"Everyone's ridiculously drunk downtown on St. Patrick's Day, no matter what night of the week it falls on." Scally said.
Chris fulfills the dream had by many a University of Kansas student—swimming in beer. After his soak in the brew, he banged out answers to questions asked by the voices in his head. Part leprechaun, Chris is an authority when it comes to St. Patrick's Day history and tradition, as well as goings on in Lawrence tomorrow. Photo illustration by Carrie Waters/KANSAN

Commentary They choke once more. Are we surprised?
Kansas fans have already begun to rationalize.
But there will be no excuses this year, folks.
Not when you have two first team All-Americans. Not when you have Raef LaFrentz. Not when you have "Mn... March."
Mr. March Paul Pierce.
Nope, excuses simply aren't allowed when you have the kind of team that the Jayhawks had this season. They had experience. They had talent. They had Roy. They had the kind of depth that other teams only dream of.
NFL
Harley Rattliff sports at kansan.com
In other words, they had it all.
Sometimes you have to chuck the excuses and just sit back and face the sad reality.
Thev choked
The Kansas basketball team did it again.
And thev choked hard.
Rattif is a Norman, Okla., senior in journalism.
For the fourth consecutive year, Kansas was prematurely knocked out of the NCAA Tournament by a lower seed.
If you're looking for positives, at least they're consistent.
The names of the opponents and players change, but the result remains the same — Kansas comes home to Lawrence dejected and empty-handed.
Four years ago it was a scrapy Virginia team — on the floor of Kempen Arena — that finished the Jayhawks season.
In 1995, it was one-man machine John Wallace and his Syracuse Orangemen who sent Roy's boys packing.
Things were supposed to be different last season.
But on a dreary night in Birmingham, Ala. Jayhawk fans watched in agony as freshman Mike Bibby showed up Jacque Vaughn, and an upstart Arizona team wiped the floor with Kansas on its way to the title.
No Final Four. No National Championship.
Maybe next year, when the media are handing out those cute nicknames, they should give Roy Williams one.
Nothing will change the fact that the Jayhawks have become the tournament's perennial chokers.
And now this year.
Behind two guys named Cuttino and Tyson, the Rhode Island Rams not only dismantled the Jayhawks' back-court, they cemented Kansas' place in the tournament's all-time chokers' hall of fame.
The Rams were on point. They played with poise and confidence, never backing down from the vastly superior Javahawk squad.
Each time it looked as if Kansas was going to turn it on, the Rams' jitterbug point guard, Tyson Wheeler, drained another three-pointer. Every time it looked as if Kansas was going to get over the hump, Rhode Island just took it to another level.
It's hard to explain.
During the last four years the Jayhawks have won 123 games, yet each season they have fallen flat in the tournament.
Rhode Island was a team Kansas should have manhandled, yet didn't. The Rams whipped Kansas at almost every facet of the game.
Maybe it was because the Jayhawks were flat. Maybe it was because the Rams got hot at the right time.
Who knows? Maybe it was the dreaded Sports Illustrated Curse.
How about "Mr. Regular Season"?
Expectations were high, and the Kansas men's basketball team had hopes for a Final Four appearance. But in a heartbreaker, the Jayhawks fell to Rhode Island 80-75 in the NCAA Tournament and left the court

OKLAHOMA CITY - The route to the Final Four was supposed to run along Interstate 35 all the way to San Antonio.

Kansas led 45-42 with 13:46 left to play when the Rams went on a 13-3 run.
Rhode Island eventually built a 10-point lead, 65-55, with 8:24 left to play, but Kansas rallied.
"In the past I was
upset and crying. But now I'm just hot out mad," Robertson said. "It's the most frustrating feeling in the world to know that you won 35 games during the season and then you can't even string three or four wins together."
"It is too early to tell the effects of this one."

On defense, the Jayhawks could not contain Rhode Island, which shot 49 percent for the game.
Kansas was burned by the quickness of Arizona's guards last season. Yesterday, the Jayhawks were scorched by Rhode Island guards Tyson Wheeler and Cuttlino Mobley, who combined for 47 points, 13 assists and nine rebounds.
Rhode Island coach Jim Harrick said the Rams' guard play was crucial in the game's outcome.
"I felt that if they overplayed us, pressured us, that we could take them," Harrisk said. "We just spread the floor and took them. They couldn't guard us off the dribble, and that was the difference in the game."
The Jayhawks received spectacular performances from All-American forwards Raef LaFrentz, who had 22 points and 14 rebounds, and Paul Pierce, who recorded 23 points, five rebounds and three assists.
For LaFrentz, Thomas and guard C.B. McGrath, their careers ended in Oklahoma City and without a Final Four appearance in their years at Kansas.
On Saturday, coach Roy Williams said his team looked past Texas-El Paso in 1992, when the top-seeded Jayhawks lost 66-60 in the second round. He tried not to let them look ahead since then.
Regardless, Williams said he apologized to his players after the game yesterday.
"I told the kids in the locker room that I was sorry if I had caused them some problems by me openly talking about my desire to win a national championship," Williams said. "If that has put any extra pressure on them, then I apologize."
"It's too early to tell the effect of this one. I sort of get tired of grading those sort of effects, to tell you the truth. Grading the pain that you have is something that I won't enjoy doing right now and down the road," he said.
The road to the Final Four closed for the Jayhawks yesterday.

The Jayhawks came from behind to upset Iowa 62-58 last night at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
IOWA CITY, Iowa — For the second time in the last three years, the Kansas women's basketball team is headed to the Sweet 16.
"I just want to thank the good Lord that we can have this opportunity," Washington said. "This win means a lot to me, our program, our university and also the Big 12 Conference."
Kansas coach Marian Washington praised her team's determination in defeating one of the premier teams in the country.
The Jayhawks used balanced scoring and tenacious defense to win.
With the men's loss to Rhode Island, this marks the first time in school history that the women have advanced farther than the men in the NCAA Tournament.
Washington said she didn't tell her players about the men's defeat until after the game, because she didn't want them to lose their focus.
The Jayhawks, 23-8, outscored the Hawkeyes 16-5 from the free-throw line and shot 55 percent from the field in the second half to come from behind for the second consecutive game.
Guard Jennifer Jackson joked that the
In the first half, the Jayhawks trailed by as many as 13 points.
"I don't think we plan to get behind," Jackson said. "I think when we come out we have trouble getting comfortable so we end up behind."
In the first half, Kansas shot 38 percent from the field while Iowa shot 45 percent.
Jayhawks liked to make their coach nervous in the first half of games.
With the score 27-14 and 3:44 remaining, the Jayhawks mounted an 11-5 run and narrowed the Hawkeyes' halftime lead to 32.25.
The Jayhawks two leading scorers, forward Lynn Pride and guard Suzi Rayman, combined for six first half points on 3-of-16 shooting. The Hawkeyes two leading scorsers, forward Tangela Smith and guard Angela Hambilin, combined for 25 first half points on 11-of-19 shooting.
Iowa's Smith fouled out at that time, but the Hawkeyes scored six straight points to pull to 60-58 with one minute to play.
The lead seesawed until Kansas went on 8-0 run to break a 52-12 tie. The Jayhawks led 60-52 with 3:16 remaining.
With Kansas leading 41-40, Iowa's Smith picked up three fouls in the next 1:33 and went to the bench with four fouls.
Kansas outscored Iowa 14-5 to begin the second half. The Jayhawks took a 39-37 lead with 13:04 remaining in the game.
"This win means a lot to me, our program, our university and the Big 12 Conference."
Marian Washington Kansas women's basketball coach
Raymant then hit one of two free throws to put the Jayhawks up by three with 51 second remaining.
The Hawkeyes had a chance to tie the game with two three-point attempts but could not convert.
Jaclyn Johnson was fouled with 7.1 seconds left and hit the first free throw to seal the victory.
Jackson led the Jayhawks in scoring with 15 points. Raymant scored 13, Pride recorded 12 points and a team-high eight rebounds and Johnson had 11 points.
Pride said she was excited to continue.
"It was tough," Pride said. "I guess it goes to show you that we're capable of playing anybody. We all came together as a team with the same goals, the same game plan and really pulled it through."
The Jayhawks will travel to Oakland, Calif., for Saturday's Regional Semifinal against the winner of tonight's Arkansas-Harvard game.

Duke hit 7-of-8 free throws in the final 40 seconds, which held the lead and gave coach Mike Krzyzewski his 42nd tournament win, matching Louisville's Denny Crum for third on the all-time list.
Duke once again faced a hostile crowd at Rupp Arena. Fans loudly booed Krzyezewski, who suggested at the start of the week that his team deserved to be somewhere other than Lexington.
They also booed point guard Steve Wojciechowski every time he touched the ball after he and Oklahoma State point guard Doug Gottlieb got tangled up and shoved each other while going for a loose ball midwain through the first half.

Coach Eddie Sutton chose to slow down his offense — one of the best in his eight seasons at Oklahoma State — and the Blue Devils were unable to shake loose.

Syracuse zone defense contains New Mexico
The Associated Press
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Jim Boeheim has learned to take victories any way he can get them in 22 seasons at Syracuse.
"When you don't shoot well, it looks like an ugly game," he said yesterday after his Orangemen beat New Mexico 56-46 in the sec
ond round of the NCAA Tournament
"But it doesn't matter how you get there," he said. "We've played a lot of beautiful games and gone home."
Syracuse (26-8), the fifth seed, will play top-seeded Duke in the South Regional's third round on Friday in St. Petersburg, Fla. Duke defeated Oklahoma State 79-73 in yesterday's other second-round game in Rupp Arena.
The Orangemen advanced despite shooting just 34 percent (21-of-62). They turned in a splendid defensive effort, holding fourth-seeded New Mexico (24-8) to a season-low 26 percent shooting, including 6-of-25 from 3-point range.
"Syracuse is one of the best zone teams in the country, and we're not a team that performs well against a zone," said New Mexico coach Dave Bliss.
The Lobos started out well, taking an early 13-9 lead. But Syracuse went on an 11-0 run to go up 20-13.
At halftime, Syracuse led 24-18. The Orangentun shot only 29 percent (10-of-35), but the Lobos shot an even lower 22 percent (6-of-27).
In the second half, Syracuse extended its lead to 28-18 with 18:45 to go.
New Mexico rallied with a 12-6 run to close to 34-30 at 14:05.

Kansas round-one game makes tournament history
A touch of Irish in downtown Lawrence
By Tommy Gallagher
Kansan sportswriter
The topseeded Jayh a w ks defeated No.
OKLAHOMA CITY—The first-round game between Kansas and Prairie View A&M was labeled by some as the biggest mismatch in NCAA Tournament history.

Friday night in the Myriad
Convention Center by the second-largest margin of victory
in NCAA Tournament history. Only a 111-142 win by Loyola (III.) against Tennessee Tech in 1963 was larger.
Those predictions nearly were correct.

Kansas guard Billy Thomas said the Jayhawks had struggled to concentrate throughout the week.
"It been a challenge for us to stay focused and concentrate on things we need to do to beat some better teams down the road," Thomas said. "We did not want to have a poor showing against this team, and to win in the fashion we did has done wonders for our morale."
Kansas raced out to a 33-7 lead midway through the first half, converting on 12-of-16 field goal attempts, including 4-for-5 from three-point range. The Panthers had made only 2-of-18 shots (11 percent).
The Jayhawks led 60-24 at the half, and that margin grew larger until the game ended.

Pugh said Friday that he would not miss any games because of the new injury, even if he did not know its severity.
The list of records rolled on, though Kansas still nursed some injured players.
Kansas' rebounding margin of more than 35 set new school and NCAA Tournament records. The Jayhawks broke a school record for points in a tournament game. Guard Ryan Robertson had a career-high 12 assists and forward Nick Bradford scored a career-high 14 points.
Against the Panthers, forward T.J. Pugh injured the same right foot that forced him to miss nine games earlier in the season with a stress fracture.
"I don't know (what it is)." Pugh said. "I haven't gotten it checked. I didn't say anything to anybody until today. It's been getting sore for the past month, and since then, I've been playing in pain."

Kansas, led by forward Paul Pierce with 25 points, enjoyed a record game.
Kansas coach Roy Williams said he was pleased that his team advanced to the second round with relative ease.
Forward Raef LaFrentz also played hurt, but that had nothing to do with his sore left shoulder or the since-healed broken hand he suffered at the beginning of the season
thigh strain, scored 12 points in 12 minutes off the bench. Thomas said only a slight tinge of pain remained in his leg and that he had played at about 90 percent.
After a dunk, LaFrentz accidentally was struck in the face by Pierce, who had been running across the lane. LaFrentz received six stitches above his swollen right eye at halftime but returned and finished with 20 points and 15 rebounds.
"We're pleased with the outcome," Williams said. "We did the things we had to do to match their enthusiasm and excitement. We had more weapons, and I was really pleased with the way our kids focused on playing the game instead of listening to everyone else about our determination."
Top-seeded Kansas' players appeared to be loose all weekend while waiting for yesterday's second-round. Nothing proved that more than a Saturday press conference featuring guards Ryan Robertson and Billy Thomas.
I did get some good footage of it, I took my video camera."
KANSAS NOTEBOOK
The curiosity grew as a reporter asked, "You can't tease us like that. Is your video footage the kind of stuff you used to see in health class? Is that what you're saying?"
After their 110-52 drubbing of No. 16 Prairie View A&M on Friday night, the Jayhawks visited the zoo during their off day Saturday. The idea came from Thomas, who said he was an animal lover and was fond of watching National Geographic programs.
"We definitely got to go to the zoo," Thomas said. "We saw some fantastic things, and we caught some things on tape that we'll take with us for a while and are probably never going to forget."
Robertson called the trip awesome. "The apes and gorilla cage were awfully fun, were awfully interesting," he said. "If anyone would like to see it,
"All right. All right. We saw two animals having sex. That's what we saw," he said.
Robertson said yes.
The questions finally reverted back to basketball, with the room immersed in laughter.
Ryan Robertson's brother, Troy, is a sophomore on the St. Louis University basketball team, which defeated Massachusetts in the first round of the South Regional Friday as the Jayhawks beat Prairie View A&M.
St. Louis lost to Kentucky, and Kansas lost to Rhode Island in second-round action yesterday.
The juxtaposition proved to
be a problem for Robertson's parents. His father, Johnny, attended Troy's games in Atlanta while his mother, Angie, stayed

home and watched both games on television.
- Forward T.J. Pugh did not practice Saturday because of a sore right foot, the same foot that suffered a stress fracture earlier this season and forced him to miss nine games. Pugh said any surgery would wait until after the season, even if it meant playing in pain.
"I've played like this for too long to miss any games now," Pugh said Friday.
"I don't know what the injury actually is yet, but it won't force me to miss any games."

Seniors lead UCLA to Sweet 16 Stanford outsmarts Western Michigan
ATLANTA -- UCLA's seniors aren't finished vet.
Coming off the worst game of his career, senior Kris Johnson sank
UCLA
free throws during the final 37 seconds yesterday helping the No. 6 seed Bruins (24-8) hold off Michigan for an 85-82 win in
the second round of the South Regional
The game lived up to its billing it had an exciting finish, as Michigan (25-9) cut a late eight-point
deficit to two on three occasions in the final 30 seconds, only to see Johnson hit his free throws down the stretch.
It erased memories of Friday's first round and helped Johnson and fellow seniors Toby Bailey and J.R. Henderson advance to the round of 16 for the third time in their careers.
Seeking a 12th national title — and the second for this group of seniors
UCLA will play Kentucky in the regional semifinals next week in St. Petersburg, Fla.
Johnson finished with 25 points, Bailey had 19 and Henderson had 13.
This time, No. 3 seed Michigan responded to each set of Johnson's free throws, once with a threepointer by Jerod Ward, once with a lavup by Louis Bullock and the final

Purdue advances with Detroit defeat
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Opening tip. Game over.
Once again, it was Purdue early — and decisively.
For the second consecutive game, Purdue took a large lead and never was caught. The Bollermakers, the second seed in the Midwest, defeated Detroit 60-65 yesterday and advanced past the second round of the NCAA Tournament for only the third time in coach Gene Keady's 18 seasons.
Chad Austin scored 20 points and Brad Miller 18 for Purdue (28-7), which will meet third-seeded Stanford (28-4) in Friday's regional semifinals in St. Louis. The Cardinal beat Western Michigan 83-65 yesterday.
The Boilermakers. who scored the
first 18 points and defeated Delaware 95-6 in the first round, took a 24-8 lead in the opening 13 minutes against Detroit
as the 10th-seed Titans made only three of their first 21 shots.
BHP Billiton
Detroit (25-6)
closed to 33-22 by
halftime, but Purdue began the second half with an 11-3 run and never was threatened.
The Boilermakers reached the NCAA tournament 13 times in Keady's first 17 seasons but only in 1988 and 1994 got past the second round.
They made sure there was no doubt this time, outscoring their two sub-regional opponents by 54 points.

Purdue played its last five games at the United Center, which also was site of the first Big Ten tournament, losing only to Michigan in the conference title game.
No.2 seed Wildcats tear through Saint Louis
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Kentucky, which failed to get a No.1 seed for the first time since 1994, certainly looked like it deserved to be considered the equal of North Carolina, Duke, Arizona and Kansas.
Kentucky reeled off the next 19 points.
The second-seeded Wildcats (31-4) recorded another double-figure victory yesterday, routing No. 10 seed Saint Louis 88-61 in the second round of the South Regional.
Kentucky scored the first 10 points of the game, then destroyed the Billikens (22-11) in a five-minute stretch later in the half.
After Saint Louis cut the deficit to 19-11 on Ryan Luechefelt's baseline jumper.
Three different players — Allen Edwards, Jeff Sheppard and Wayne Turner — connected from outside the arc.
One particular sequence summed up the olight facing Saint Louis.
Jamal Magliore forced a jump ball by blocking a shot under the basket, but the possession arrow favored the Billikens. Kentucky got the ball on a five-second call when Saint Louis couldn't inbound.
By the end of the spurt — the game just 13 minutes old — Kentucky had a 38-11 lead. The Wildcats had a 46-18 lead at halftime.
Kentucky shot 59 percent in the first half.

CHICAGO—Stanford's size and a game-swinging technical foul that became a seven-point possession helped the Cardinal

edge Sunday, which helped them overcome Western Michigan's quickness and beat the Broncos 83-65 in the Midwest Regional.
Tim Young, the Cardinal's 7-foot-1 center, scored 19 points and had 13 rebounds, and forward Mike Madsen added 19 points and 10 rebounds as Stanford (28-4) matched the school record for most victories in a season.
Jason Kimbrough led western Michigan (21-8), the No. 11 seed, with 17 points, and Saddi Washington had 16.
Stanford, the No.3 seed in the Midwest Region, will play Purdue on Friday in St. Louis.
The Broncos suffered a major loss when guard Rashod Johnson — the star of their first-round upset of Clemson — fouled out with 12:03 left after he was called for a technical foul.
Johnson, who scored a careerhigh 32 points with eight threepointers against Clemson, finished with just 13 points on4-of-15 shooting.
Johnson, apparently upset with a no-call seconds earlier, continued to argue after Stanford's Young was fouled by Western's Isaac Bullock as the Stanford center made a layup.
The technical was a double whammy for the Broncos—they lost one of their two best players, and Stanford turned it into a seven-point possession.
Young hit a free throw that completed the three-point play, Lee made two free throws on the technical foul, and when the Cardinal maintained possession, Kris Weems banked in a shot that put Stanford up 61-47.

Johnson, an emotional player who bowed to the crowd in the first round after his performance. played only 27 minutes.

Lee scored eight points in the final 48 seconds of the first half, hitting two three-pointers and then a jumper at the buzzer, as the Cardinal took a 42-39 lead.
Western, moving the ball well and penetrating the lane with Kimbrough, led by as many as seven.
Stanford then outscored the Broncos 19-9 in the final five minutes of the half.

Track boasts three All-Americans
By Angela Johnson Kansan sportswriter
Kansas track and field athletes Andrea Branson, Candy Mason and Scott Russell left the 1998 NCAA Indoor Championships this weekend as All-Americans.
All-American in the 35-pound weight throw. With a throw of 67 feet, 61/4 inches, he broke his own school record for the fourth time this season.
Mason and Russell were national runners-up in the pole vault and 35-pound weight throw. Branson placed fifth in the pole vault.

TRACK AND FIELD
Kansas has not had an All-American thrower since 1971 when Karl Salb and Steve Wilhelm placed first and third, in the shot put.
The whole thing really hasn't
sunk in yet."
"This is great," Russell said. "Coming into nationals I just wanted to increase my personal record and then I did this well.
In the women's pole vault, Mason tied her school record with a jump of 12 feet, 7 1/2 inches, and Branson jumped a career-best 12 feet, 1 1/2 inches.
Branson has steadily improved her mark by more than two feet this season.
Head coach Gary Schwartz said he credited specialty coaches Lorri Larowe and Rick Attig for preparing the All-Americans for nationals.

Jayhawks field 12 pitchers in win
By Laura Bokenkroger
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas baseball team beat Hastings College 11-3 yesterday.
The Jayhawks, 8-6, played yesterday after games at Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas State were postponed last week because of bad weather.
Twelve pitchers threw for Kansas, the most ever to throw in a single Kansas game.
"Everybody pitched today except for
Les Walrond, because he is going to
start on Tuesday," coach Bobby Randall
said. "Everybody played today. We had
to shake the cobwebs off today. It was a
little chilly. It was a long time waiting
to play."
The Jayhawks' offense kept them ahead, and their defense played flawlessly behind a different pitcher each inning.
The Jayhawks jumped on top early, when centerfielder Clint Wyrick doubled to right field, scoring shortstop John Nelson in the first inning.
Designated hitter Walrond hit a three-

"We did some things well defensively," Randall said, "but we made some silly mistakes mostly on offense, some base running and some hitting mistakes. They are all correctable things. Right now what we need to do is just play baseball."

No.16 Harvard stymies Stanford women
The Associated Press
Then along came Harvard.
PALO ALTO, Calif. — The resume was imposing: a top seed, two national women's championship titles, a 59-game winning streak at home.
Bucking history and making it at the same time, Harvard became the first 16th-seeded team to win an NCAA tournament game by jolting Stanford 71-67 Saturday night.
"This is one of the best wins I've ever experienced," said Allison Fearter, whose 35 points and 13 rebounds led Harvard and shattered the Cardinal's aura of invincibility on their home
floor. "I can't tell you the amount of adversity we faced, just coming in here." Feaster said.
Before Harvard's victory, top seeds were 75-0 against 16th seeds in the women's and men's tournaments. The Ivy League champions won their first NCAA Tournament game in three tries, and in the process snapped Stanford's 59-game winning streak at Maples Pavilion.
"We've broken records and created history, but this tops the list,"Harvard coach Kathy Delaney-Smith said.
"I'm just very,very happy," Delaney-Smith added. "No one thought we could do it but us."
Harvard (23-4), already with the most
wins in the program's 16 years, advanced to the second round Monday night against No. 9 seed Arkansas, a 76-70 winner against No. 8 seed Hawaii.
Stanford (21-6), weakened by injuries in the last week that sidelined stars Vanessa Nygaard and Kristin Folk, lost at Maples for the first time since an 82-65 setback to Purdue in the 1994 West Regional final.
Still, it was a shocking end to a run of success for Stanford, which made six trips to the Final Four since 1990, including two national titles.
"It's just been a horrible week," Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer said. "(The loss) wasn't the worst of it."
Women roll over Tulane, claim victory with Pride
By Kevin C. Wilson Kansan sportswriter
IOWA CITY, Iowa—Second-half success—that's what the Kansas women's basketball team enjoyed Friday night in a come-from-behind, 72-68 victory against Tulane in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at Carver-Hawkeve Arena.
Sophomore sensation Lynn Pride scored a career-high 27 points to lead the Jayhawks (22-8) into the second round for the third consecutive season.
The Jayhawks looked overwhelmed in the first half. Tulane bolted to a 7-0 lead, and guard Grace Daley scored 13 of her team's first 18 points to help build an 18-6 lead in the first five minutes.
The Green Wave's second leading scorer, center Barbara Farris, limped off of the court after taking a Kansas charge from freshman forward Jaclyn Johnson with 9:08 remaining. Then, at 8:37 left in the half, Daley picked up her second foul and headed to the bench.
The Jayhawks seized the opportunity and went on a 10-1 run in the next 3 minutes to close the gap to 31-27.
Kansas went into the intermission down 38-35, but Kansas coach Marian Washington said that she was confident that her team would get it done in the second half.
"This team has been able to come back all year," Washington said. "We've been down by 20 before, so trailing by four at the half was not bad."
Pride said that she knew it would have taken a total team effort to mount a comeback.
"We have to come together as a team when we're down by that much," she said. "It takes the whole team."
The Jayhawks indeed responded, as four players scored in double figures.
Reserve guard Shandy Robbins hit 11 of her 14 points in the second half and connected 3-of-4 from three-point range. Junior center Nakia Sanford added 11 points, and freshman guard Jennifer Jackson chipped in 10 points in her first NCAA Tournament game.
It was Pride who provided the Jayhawks with a needed scoring punch. Pride connected on 9-of-16 shots from the floor and hit

"She was all over the floor," Washington said. "She does a lot of things for us. She can bring the ball up the floor, post up, hit the three-point shot and defend anyone."
The two teams exchanged baskets for the first part of the second half before the Jayhawks took their first lead of the game with 11:03 remaining. Pride put Kansas up 54-53 on a 12-foot jumper, and the Jayhawks refused to relinquish their lead the rest of the way.
Tulane had a chance to take the lead with 10.7 seconds left and trailing 69-68, but forward Lacey Vicknair was called for traveling. Pride then hit two free-throws to put Kansas up 71-68. Another travelling call and a subsequent Pride free throw sealed the Jayhawks' victory.
Tulane ended its season with a 21-7 record and bowed out of the NCAA Tournament in the first round for the third time in four years.
Tulane coach Lisa Stockton said that she was proud of her team.
"We knew Kansas was a tremendous team and that we would have to play our best game of the season to be in it," Stockton said as tears welled up in her eyes. "We can walk off the court and know that we didn't leave anything behind."

-Irish proverb
Holiday celebrates spirit of the Irish
(USPS 650-640)
By Sara Anderson and Chris Horton sanderson@kansan.com chorton@kansan.com
Kanson staff writers
While it may be a major holiday for Irish in the United States, St. Patrick's Day has less significance in Ireland.
The holiday is most prominent with the Irish diaspora, or scattering, throughout the world, said David Katzman, chairman and professor of American Studies. Katzman specializes in American ethnic groups.
"Fenianism, Irish nationalism, started more in the diaspora than in Ireland," he said. "St. Patrick's Day has become very important to keep traditions alive for Irish around the world and express their identity with Ireland. It's a chance to unify."
Dublin
Ireland
Irish treasury
Katzman spent a year in Ireland in the 1970s as a visiting professor at the University College of Dublin. He said that during St. Patrick's Day, festivities were reserved mainly for visitors in the country.
"In Ireland, it is more of a minor holiday," he said.
"There is a St. Patrick's Day parade that included bands from the United States, but is has developed as more of a tourist holiday. Not a lot of Irish come out to watch or participate in the parade."
The St. Patrick's Day parade in Lawrence is an opportunity for people to show their Irish side, regardless of their heritage, said Tami Stum, Lawrence St. Patrick's Day committee secretary.
"We've got people coming out wanting to show their Irish spirit year after year." Stum said
Dorothy Rooney, Lawrence resident, has participated in the parade the past eight years. Rooney said people of any ethnicity could enjoy St. Patrick's Day.
"Everybody's Irish on St. Patrick's Day," she said.
"Everybody's Irish on St. Patrick's Day," she said. Katzman said that the holiday was a chance for everyone to show their spirit, not just people of Irish heritage.
"It's a chance for non-Irish to acknowledge Irish contributions and it plays against the notion of a homogeneous society," he said. "It acknowledges diversity."
Katzman compared the holiday to Mardi Gras. He said that Mardi Gras was held to celebrate the Lenten season and the Catholic faith, but that everyone participated in the event
"It's taken on a different meaning because it's a fun experience," he said. "So St. Patrick's Day is just a fun day for some people like Mardi Gras."
Dan Curry, Overland Park senior, said he focused on food and drink when he celebrated St. Patrick's Day.
"Usually I go home and eat potatoes, cabbage and corned beef with my family," Curry said. "Then I come back to Lawrence and get some beers."
Curry said that although the American version of St. Patrick's Day was a good time, for him, it held little meaning.
"It's cheeseball, pure cheeseball," he said
ST. PATRICK'S DAY
■ Finding a four-leaf clover: double the good luck.
■ Wearing green: green in association with St. Patrick's Day because it is the color of spring, Ireland and the shamrock.
■ Kissing the Blarney stone: there's only one, and it's part of a castle in Blairney, Ireland.
Leprechauns
Treasure hunters can track down a leprechaun by the sound of his shoealer's hammer. If caught, he can be forced to reveal the whereabouts of his treasure.
■ Parasite fret.
There are more than 100 cities in the United States that hold parades, the largest is in New York City.
Legend of the Shamrock St. Patrick used the three-leafed shamrock to explain the Trinity; the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. It represented how each element could exist on its own but was part of the same entity. St. Patrick's followers adopted the custom of wearing a shamrock on his feast day.

11. Patrick's Day brings to mind images of parades, shamrocks, green beer, leprechauns and Web sites. And Web sites?
That's right. Academic Computing Services and the Spencer Research Library have co-developed Irish Treasures, an Irish history Web site, just in time for St. Patrick's Day.
Irish Treasures is located at http://www.ukans.edu/-spencer/exhibits/irish_treasures/shamrock.html. It contains a small selection of materials from the library's P.S. O'Hegarty Collection.

A quicker pick-up time may be in store next year for students tired of waiting on weekends at downtown bars for Saferide.
The transportation board will vote after Spring Break on a proposal to run a city bus on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights from 12:30 to 2:30 a.m. The bus would make stops at bars on Massachusetts Street, and then drop off patrons at Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall, the Kansas Union, the Chi Omega fountain, Naismith and Oliver Hall, Stewart Avenue, Daisy Hill and Emery Road.
The Lawrence Bus Company would run the buses for $11.05 per hour. Running a bus for two hours, three nights a week, would cost $186.30 per week.

Chris Ogle, owner of the Lawrence Bus Company, said that it would take a bus one hour to complete the proposed route.
Kaiser estimated that having security on the bus would cost an additional $17 to $20 per hour.
Kaiser said that he was worried about so many possibly biroated people rid-
"Right now, something that's challenging Saferide's mission of getting people home safely is the waiting times," Kaiser said. "I'd like to see waiting times reduced, and I think this will do it."
If the proposal passes, the board would aim to get Student Senate money allocated to next year's KU on Wheels budget to run the service.
For a full school year the proposed route would cost about $11,000.
Scott Kaiser, transportation coordinator, said that the plan aimed to alleviate the long waits that have become customary for people calling Saferide.
Ogle said that his company would be willing to work with the KU on Wheels to provide the service, despite the possibility of having difficulty finding drivers for those short shifts.
Ogle said that if students accepted the ideg, the service could be very efficient.

University is study aid for students from Asia
By Gerry Doyle
gdoyle@kanson.com
Kanson staff writer
As the Asian economic market continues to implode, many Indonesian students at the University of Kansas are having trouble keeping their heads above water.
For those who study in the United States, international student visas only allow the holders to work for the universities that they attend. Because of these limitations, students from the Indonesian region who are hurting for money have been forced to seek University jobs.
Daphne Johnston, associate director of international student services, said that since last October when the crisis first hit, about three to four times the usual number of students from East Asia now had jobs with the University. She said that there were about 306 students at the University from Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines.
Johnston said that the problem did not only affect the University.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway has said that any Indonesian student who came to him would have a job at the University.
"There was a run on currency, and the whole thing came crashing down," he said. "Suharto refused to end his policies—he essentially said 'screw you' to the IMF. Now, the system is in collapse because he is unwilling to make changes."
"This problem is affecting students all over the U.S." she said. "Self-funded students are more seriously affected. If they're not graduating, they have to look seriously at whether they can stay. Some have already left to go home or go to a cheaper school."
The financial troubles arose when rapid, uncontrolled economic growth in Asian countries led to inflated property values and unregulated banking, said Terry Weidman, associate director of international programs. Indonesia's president, Suharto, had arranged a network of family and friends in the economic infrastructure of his country and had refused to depose them to get International Monetary Fund money.
When the economy reached a breaking point, the bubble burst and caused the rupiah's value to drop 80 percent, Weidner said.
As the system collapsed, students from these areas who relied on funds from home suddenly found their currency was worth fewer dollars, he said. This forced many students to look for work.
Offering jobs to needy international students is a good first step for the University, said Beatrice Selomulyo, Indonesian senior.
Selomulyo said that she worked for Support and Educational Services to help make ends meet and that the money especially had been helpful since the ruhipa's plunge.
"I don't expect things to be free. I just want more options," she said. "My job has helped my parents a little bit. The cancellor's idea means a lot to us financially — there are people whose grades have been decreasing because they're thinking about tomorrow."

Lawrence resident loses $16,000 to forgery artist
A professional forgery artist took $16,000 from a Lawrence resident's bank account last month. Lawrence police said.
Sgt. George Wheeler said police had a suspect in the Feb. 18 forgery case. He also said the case may be connected to other forgeries.
wheeler said the forgery case began at Mercantile Bank's south branch, 1807 West 23rd St.
Poll told the victim that the suspect forged two of the victim's checks to make deposits of $8,600 and $46,000 in his account. The victim said that he never had used that location to do his banking, so employees could not have known him by his face.
The victim said the suspect then obtained a cashier's check for $16,000, drawn from the forged deposits. The suspect then went to the Eudora Mercantile Bank and put the $16,000 into a money market account, the victim said.
The suspect was recorded on the Eudora bank's security video, which the victim said he had reviewed with police.
"I've never seen the guy before," he said.
"I have no idea who he is."
Wheeler said the method the suspect used to get the money was a variation of a common forgery scam.
"Apparently, he's doing it a little differently," Wheeler said. "Usually, they'll open an account at one bank and use the starter checks from that account to make the forgeries.
"They deposit the money from those for-eries in another account and then withdraw it," Wheeler said.
An official at Mercantile Bank said he could not comment on the incident.

rousing — and the process of instilling military values — must be improved, he said. He complained that even though male and female trainees lived in separate quarters or on separate floors, doors had been removed at some cities and privacv was inadequate
"They have not had adequate supervision...There has been an attitude of a lack of discipline, and so what we want to do is maintain the separation during those first weeks of basic training to make sure their focus is on the military aspects and not the social." Cohen said.
Questioned about how increased separation might teach young men and women to work and fight together, Cohen shot back, "They don't have to sleep together."
The secretary also told the three services to toughen the physical training and put more emphasis on core military values during the first weeks in the military.
The services must increase the number of female recruiters and female trainers, improve selection processes for trainers and counter
any notion that a training assignment would be detrimental to a military career, Cohen said.
McKinney spared prison, suffers demotion instead
FORT BELVOIR, Va. — An Armyjury spared Sgt. Maj. Gene McKinnie a prison sentence today and instead reprimanded him and demoted him one rank to master sergeant for obstruction of justice in the sexual-misconduct case against him.
McKinney, once the Army's highest-ranking enlisted man, could have gotten up to five years in prison and a dishonorable discharge.
The sentence was imposed by the same jury of six men and two women that cleared him of 18 out of 19 counts Friday, including all charges that he pressured six military women for sex.
McKinney, 47, was convicted of obstruction for encouraging one of his accusers to lie to Army investigators. The telephone conversation had been secretly recorded and was played for the jury at his court-martial.
McKinney stood at attention and showed no emotion as the sentence was imposed. His wife, Wilimena, sat stoically, directly behind him.
Heavy smoke and low rivers shrunken by months of drought hindered access to the region, which is home to about 9,000 Yanomami. About 11,000 more live across the border in Venezuela.
Fire in Brazil threatens Yanomami Indians' home
BOA VISTA, Brazil — A three-month-old fire is raging out of control in Brazil's remote northern Amazon, devouring large sections of savanna and threatening the forest home of the Yanomami Indians, the world's largest Stone Ate tribe.
WORLD
"We have lost control of the situation," Kleber Cerquinho, head of the state Civil Defense Bureau, said in a radio interview.
Gov. Neuro Campos of Roraima state said the blaze at one point reached 1.2 miles inside the Yanomami reservation, although he could not say how much forest had burned.
Less than one inch of rain has fallen this year in Roraima, a wedge of land between Venezuela and Guyana. The unusual dry spell is attributed to El Nino, a warming of the waters in the Pacific that changes weather patterns worldwide.
Roraima's vegetation dried to tinder, and the traditional brush-burning by farmers and ranchers has swept over savanna and pasture lands that cover much of the state. Only about one-fifth of the burned area is forest.
There is only one unconfirmed report of a fatality: A man was killed when he was hit by a burning branch.
Campos said yesterday that some 1.5 million acres, about 3 percent of the state, had been burned.

"The hope was that we could give it a feel of the past," said Jerry Niebaum, director of Academic Computing Services. Niebaum did most of the design and development.
The images on the site include 19th-century illustrations depicting key events in the Irish struggle for independence from England, the front page of a censored Irish newspaper from 1848, an 1873 advertisement for travel from Dublin to North America in steerage class and a picture of P.S. O'Hegarty.
Each image contains a short description of its significance. The images also can be displayed in a full-screen view to allow closer examination.
"It's a teaser," said James Helary, curator in graphics, about the Web site.
It contains 18 images out of about 15,000 pieces in the whole collection. The library acquired the bulk of the collection in 1959.
"This is a wonderful opportunity for us to show off a few things and hopefully tell people that all the rest is available here." Helyar said.
He said that the O'Hegarty collection was a major resource for Irish studies.
O'Hegarty developed it to write the book "A History of Ireland Under the Union 1801-1922."
The Web site could promote these resources to scholars throughout the world, he said.
"We have materials here which probably can't be found anywhere else," Helyar said.
Niebaum said he thought there were more opportunities to promote the library's materials in a digital format.
"In the Kansas Collection there are a million photographs, and in the rest of the collections there are another million photographs." Niebaum said.
"I believe there is a lot of interesting work to be done in the digital imaging area," Niebaum said.

Israel Consul General debates state affairs
By Sara Anderson sanderson@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
the Consul General of Israel wanted to give students a different perspective about the state of Israel yesterday.
Tzipora Rimon spoke at 3 p.m. at the English Room in the Kansas Union yesterday afternoon. Rimon's topic, "Past Perspectives, Future Prospects," focused on the changing state of Israel during the past 50 years and the strides made to improve conditions in the state.
Twelve people attended the free event, which consisted of an hour lecture and a question-and-answer session.
"I wanted to give students another point of view about the situation in Israel and the current issues," Rimon said. "Students and all people get misinformation or a lack of, so I wanted to
give highlights and then answer questions."
Roi Kiterbaum, Chicago freshman, lived in Israel for 13 years. He said that he found her presentation appealing but that she could have more thoroughly handled the audiences questions.
"She was interesting, but she didn't answer some things like about houses being destroyed," he said. "Things could have been answered better."
Rimon discussed different aspects of Israel, including its history, security, education, negotiations and agreements. She also addressed Israel's cultural and traditional condition.
"The population is based on more than 100 countries that all have their own traditions and cultures," she said.
Rimon's presentation was part of an official visit of the Consul General of
Israel to the Midwest, which included 11 states. Rimon spent the morning in Topeka discussing Israeli policies with members of the Legislature and also will attend Midwest festivities, celebrating Israel's 50th birthday.
A debate ensued between Rimon and the audience after Rimon's presentation concerning the problem of territory and land in Jerusalem.
Mike Wuthrich, Wichita senior, said that Rimon's presentation was a learning experience and that the debate was helpful as well.
"It was very interesting to come and learn," he said. "I think it was interesting what she said about Israel but also the dialogue that followed."
Rimon said that it was important to look at the past 50 years and see what had happened in the past and where the future was going.
"We've had many achievements, many mistakes and many prospects left for the next 50 years," she said.
Rimon was appointed Consul General to the Midwest Region of the United States in 1997. She has served in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and in Israeli Embassys' in Copenhagen and Lisbon. Rimon also filled the position of the divisional director in the Ministry's Economic Department.
Ayelet Goldberg, Hillel Foundation program director, said that the University was proud to have Rimon speak.
"We're very excited because she is the most important woman in the Midwest dealing with Israeli policies," she said. "It's a real honor to have her speak to us."
The event was sponsored by the Hiliel Foundation and the Consulate General of Israel in Chicago.
Sullivan vetoes bill to move fall elections
Melissa Ngo
mngo@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Student Body President Scott Sullivan vetoed a bill to change Student Senate committee chairman and vice-chairman elections from the beginning of the fall semester to the end of the spring semester.
This is the first bill Sullivan has vetoed. He said that he vetoed the bill because it did not fulfill its goal of making committee elections less political.
Sullivan vetoed the bill Thursday, and his decision will be discussed and voted on at tomorrow's Senate meeting. The meeting will be at 6:30 pm in the Kansas Room at the Kansas Union. Senate needs at least a two-thirds majority to override the veto.
"Instead of new freshmen supposedly being told who to vote for, there will be coalition veterans, who have just been running against each other, voting." Sullivan said.
Sullivan said examples of such politics could be seen in Senate Executive Committee and University Council elections held at the end of spring semester.
"You can't tell me those elections are devoid of politics." Sullivan said. "It's a joke."
Sullivan, who was last year's University Affairs committee chairman, said he did not feel the bill's intent was important enough to sacrifice the committee's right to choose their own chairman. New members who come in the fall will not be able to elect the chairmen and chairwoman, Sullivan said.
Ann Marchand, journalism senator and the bill's sponsor, said she was not surprised Sullivan vetoed the bill because he was a product of the old system and therefore, he saw nothing wrong with it.
Marchand said the bill was never intended to depoliticize the elections.
"We want to provide for a smoother transition and help members to know instantly who the leader is rather than subject them to elections at the first meeting."
Marchand said that all Senate positions changed in the spring except committee chairmen and that she wanted to bring committees in line with the rest of Senate.
Jordan Edwards, Finance committee chair, did not support the bill.
"Each committee ought to have the opportunity to elect its own leader," Edwards said. "No matter what you do, the elections will be politicized. In a lot of ways, it makes me sad that Student Senate has become so factionalized."
Keena McClendon, Multicultural Affairs committee chairwoman, supported having the elections in the spring.
"I think it's good to choose who your chairs will be at the end of the year because then you've seen who's dedicated enough to stay the whole year," McClendon said.

The following comments are excerpts from the Student Senate listserv. All students are welcome to subscribe to the list and may do so by calling Mike Walden, student body vice president, at 864-3710.
quit avoiding your responsibilities to students of color, or you lose your Senate seat next year. We're ready for political action and we will no longer be silent.
I don't think that greek bashing is politically motivated. Rather, it's the release of built-up frustration and tension. Bashing the greek system wouldn't get anyone anywhere politically. It's even more ridiculous when you consider the number of greeks likely to be running with Delta Force.
Simply put, the Greek system is the most effective living group on campus in getting its members involved in University of Kansas activities. For that it should be commended. What should be condemned is the way that elections operate. Code violations of the highest order I don't give a darn about Travis Harrad advising, it's vote fraud that concerns me), sign stealing, car flipping, public nastiness, etc. This is all created by the coalition system.
The actors in the system all are behaving rationally...it's the system that is at fault.
Maybe that's what needs to change more than anything. If we want to truly de-politicize Student Senate, maybe it will take wholesale change. All I know is that the coalition system is keeping things from getting done.
Sam Pierron CLA&S senator
quit avoiding your responsibilities to students of color, or you lose your Senate seat next year. We're ready for political action and we will no longer be silent.
I am deeply disheartened by the lack of critical thinking on this Student Senate listserv. Or rather, the resistance by our greek-friendly senators to think critically about the system they are involved in. As a non-greek constituent and senator, I have every right to criticize the system.
You seem to think that because I have never been in the system that this excludes me from criticizing it. I see this as another feeble attempt to silence those with differing opinions.
There have been a number of arguments raised to reinforce the idea that "greek bashing" does not belong on the Senate listserv. While I will concede that perhaps we shouldn't prejudge all greeks, I also think that my postings were taken entirely out of context and I was misquoted. I never said all greeks were racist, sexist, and classist. I did say that the system was.
Someone also raised the point that there are a large number of minority people who rush in the white Greek system. Thereby implying that it's our fault that we aren't represented in the white Greek system. Once again, I think this is a failure to look at the complexities of race on this campus. As a student of color, I can confirm that many of us feel unwelcome on this campus. We experience racism in both subtle and overt ways every day. People seem to think that racism doesn't exist on this campus, when in fact, the reality is that it is demonstrated in every fabric of University culture. Proof of this is seen in Rock Chalk Revue. Moreover, the refusal of those in the system to listen to the voices of students of color is indicative of how far-reaching the racism exists.
I realize that this is a blanket statement, but I have yet to see any effort on the part of greeks to really listen to how the Native American Student Association and other students of color feel. All you have to say is that you aren't racist, classist and sexist. Prove to me you aren't, because all I have seen so far is to the contrary.
These are real issues that our constituents are confronting when they decide to vote in the elections. People talk about how we are further dividing Senate by greek bashing. I ask, how can you ignore the divisions that already exist? What is more, how can we ever come together unless we begin to talk about these divisions? Trust me when I say this: Unless the greek system makes major efforts in the very near future to change its politics toward students of color, they will lose their vote. We met last night to discuss how we will be handling these issues in Senate and with the administration. What it comes down to is this. Either you deal with these issues and
Rochelle Votaw CLA&S senator
--ideas and the world of everyday living, I have seen many ghosts during my time at the University of Kansas.
How did we go from the Native American Student Association vs. Rock Chalk Revue to where we are now? This is not "critical thinking." This is pure hatred among very different groups of people for many reasons, non-greeks not liking greeps, everyone have choices to make that best suit them. If students want to be a part of an organization for whatever reasons, they are entitled to do that. Everyone does not have to think like everyone, everyone does not have to believe what everyone else believes in. As long as everyone is given the same opportunities there should be no problem. Now greek life is not for everyone, and if it's not for you, why do you care about the people who are grecks?
We are all screaming unity, but damn it if we follow through on it. For a bunch of college students that are supposed to be the educated bunch, you guys have no idea what the hell is waiting for you once you graduate and step out into that place called the "real world". If you cannot get along with others at the University of Kansas, then what makes you think you will get along in society? What happens next is we have this continuous cycle of hate against hate and it produces a lot of nothing. A quick example:
Native Americans have a very rich culture that everyone should be able to enjoy, but instead they're outside the Lied Center protesting in the cold.
And on the flip side, Rock Chalk Revue and Greeks have given a lot to the Lawrence community and they're being treated as if they're the Ku Klux Klan. What positive effect is going to come out of this? None whatsoever.

The latest ghost to appear unsettled many people last week. Its name was the 49th annual Rock Chalk Revue. The鬼 had two heads: Alpha Delta Pi and Lambda Chi Alpha. In the name of tradition, it put on a macabre dance called, "Don't Drink the Water." The dance sent
a cuff to the memories of the people in the land, and the people screamed.
When I heard this, I, the sorcerer, decided to wield the magical power of the word on behalf of the people. I took my fetishes, went up to the world of the dead and the unborn, and inquired of the ancestors in these terms: How can people whose roots lie elsewhere know what hurts the indigenous people and why it hurts them?
however, because the people's screams seemed to lack power, the dance proceeded anyway. One of the inventors of the dance told the people in the land, "We never intended any malicious intent with this show," and the dancers also said they did not feel the skit was in any way offensive and there certainly was no intent to put down the indigenous people.
"Only by communicating the pain and showing where it lies," the ancestors answered.
"We have done this many, many times," I replied. "It is only through constant reiteration that people learn, and these things must be said again and again," said one of the ancestors. From Mount Oread, they opened the scrolls of human history, and my heart tightened.
As I looked, I saw the horrors of the sin of superiority complex. The so-called superior people went about "discovering" the so-called inferior people. They forcibly took the lands upon which the native people dwelled, killed their men and children, abused their women and put those who remained in places called reservations.
expectancy. Some called it the Aquarian Age, while others simply called it the New Age. It was new because during its time, the feminine principles and the values of the heart would begin to hold greater sway in the consciousness of the human race. The voice of all the minorities in the land would be elevated rather than subjugated. Because they have suffered and know how to suffer, they must emerge to help teach a suffering humanity the values of compassion, selflessness, receptivity and love. The goal would not be the establishment of a system of rule by the minorities advocating minority superiority or retribution for past grievances, for this only would amplify the existing cleavages between the diverse groups of the land. True and lasting societal transformation could be brought about only by the establishment of a state of consciousness which steps beyond the old structures and rejects the old antipathies in which one race, one nation, one religion, or one sex is considered superior to another. Rather, the coming new world order would be anchored on an acceptance and appreciation of the inherent differences and the contributions which each individual and each group could make toward the greater good of humanity.
In other parts of the land, they did the same things. However, because the people there were good at working the land, the superior people caught them and shipped them down south to till the land. They traded them like property in open markets. They stripped them of their religions, customs, languages, bonds. They divided them only in ways that would allow the conquerors to best exploit the resources of the land. The people of the land toiled and cried out, for their pain was excruciating. Yet, the spirit in them was indomitable, and caused them to sing songs of freedom.
As I looked ahead, I saw not far away something fast approaching. The general name for it was "the 21st century," and everybody waited for it with a growing sense of
I looked again and I saw a paradoxical thing. It was called change and it included many of the ways of the so-called primitive peoples, but only this time these same ways had become "scientific." All of a sudden, everybody in the land was living in a Global Village and using the World Wide Web — just like the spider webs that fascinated the native children in the bushes. The power of touch, which the native mothers always knew, was suddenly "discovered" at the University of Miami School of Medicine's Touch Research Institute (TRI), and seekers from Duke, Harvard, Princeton and other places flocked to the TRI to study this "discovery." I saw the same thing happening to breast feeding, music, dance, medicinal plants and many other things the indigenous peoples did naturally.
I realized that at the University of Kansas real progress could be made in these and many other areas, for the general benefit of all, if the dignity of the minorities was respected, their wisdom was valued, and their contributions were actively enlisted. And with the cooperation of Haskell Indian Nations University, I saw the Lawrence community transformed for the better.
As evening fell on Mount Oread, and the moon came out, an owl sang: "We learn only from experience, and only by making up our minds not to repeat past mistakes." With a sigh, I made a final incantation over my fetishes and prayed that the spirit of sensitivity would visit the inhabitants of Rock Chalk Revue, in particular those of Rock Delta Pi and Lambda Chi Alpha. I prayed that they would show goodwill and officially apologize to all the wounded hearts of the land so that, healed as a community, we could travail together to give birth to a brighter tomorrow.

Feedback
I am writing in response to Harley Raliff's column, "They choke once more. Are we surprised?" To say that Roy Williams and his team, which went 35-4, choked is an unfair statement. How many coaches in America can say that they have averaged more than 27 wins per season during the past 10 years? True, Williams has yet to win a national championship. However, if he fails to attain this goal, will we consider his career a failure when it is all said and done? Rather than chastising a coach and his team for losing when we did not expect them to, perhaps we should look in the mirror and think about how lucky we are to have one of the best basketball coaches and one of the elite programs in America.
Harley Ratliff too harsh on Williams
It is unfair to call a coach a "choker" just because he has not won a national championship after 10 years. John Wooden needed 16 years to win his first title at UCLA, and Dean Smith needed 21 years to win his first one at North Carolina.

Rock Chalk Revue section without merit
An entire section of The University Daily Kansan devoted to Rock Chalk Reveue?
I can only assume you will print this letter since there is very little to comment on in the Kansan these days. I have noticed the opinion letters dwinkle down to a trickle. Does The Wonderbread Daily News ever wonder why?
Christi Barb Kansas Union employee
Perhaps it is because there is nothing provocative enough to inspire a response.
The Kansan is jam-packed full of information that appeals to the full range of students on campus, as long as you're interested in Student Senate affairs and Greek goings-on. Yes, those are valid, interesting events, but there is so much more. Because the majority of the paper is devoted to events by non-minority groups, the Kansan has now earned the more appropriate name of The Wonderbread Daily News.
Refresh my memory with some facts. How much space, if any, was devoted exclusively for the Asian-American Student Leadership Conference, any of the events for Black History Month, or any of the numerous lectures, conferences and events sponsored by the many minority organizations on campus? I must have missed their exclusive sections of the paper. The Native American Student Association is planning a writers conference in April, I'll keep my eyes open for that insert.
My name is Joe Don Waters and I am the vice president of the Native American Student Association at Oklahoma State University.
I support the KU Native American Student Association and the Black Student Union and the protest of the Rock Chalk Revue. The groups have legitimate grievances concerning the questionable material in the skit "Don't Drink the Water." We, as Native American students, encounter racism and cultural insensitivity on a rather frequent basis on our respective campuses. Consequently, we no longer will stand for these racist traditions that "our" universities allow to be perpetuated in university-related events. The sad part of this story is that there are people who do not see the racism and insensitivity the skit perpetuated. Furthermore, the students that utilize skirts can use their own culture and traditions to meet their comical ends. They do not have do this at the expense of other cultures.
In closing, the actions and opinions of a few does reflect poorly on the University of Kansas. NASA and BSU should be complimented on their campus awareness and involvement. Ultimately, Native American students across America can be only proud and supportive of KU NASA for standing up for what is right.

Men's loss grieves students, fans
By Laura Roddy
lroddy@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
It wasn't just weather that dampened spirits yesterday.
Lingering grief about the men's basketball team's 80-75 loss to Rhode Island on Sunday plagued some University of Kansas students.
Kendall Day, St. Francis junior, said it was a tough day for devoted KU basketball fans.
"I'm consoled by the fact that Mother Nature feels our pain," he said, referring to the gray skies and rain.
David Templin, director of applied
sport psychology at the University, said that it was natural for fans to be upset but that they should put the loss in perspective.
"It's okay to be discouraged for awhile," he said. "Then look at the positive things."

Templin said
Tempin said that, to fans, it almost was as if the team was part of their families.
Templin said fans should remember the team's accomplishments and focus on its quality, coaches and
players.

fan," said the loss
Hodapp said that students who wait
days for good seats in Allen Field House probably were taking the loss harder than the average fan but that it was important to remember it was not the end of the world.
Jack Martin, Abilene sophomore,
said handling the loss this year was not as hard as dealing with last year'*s loss to Arizona or with the Jawhawk's 1966 loss to Virginia.
"I'm getting used to it," he said.
"You can't always get worked up about it, or you'll drive yourself nuts."
Amanda Morgan, Leawood senior, said now that the Jayhawks had been eliminated from the NCAA Tournament, she would root for Valparaio to beat Rhode Island.
Day said he would try to keep in mind the caliber of Kansas' players and coaches.
Females subtract from math gender gap
By Graham K. Johnson gjohnson@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Female high school math students in the United States have countered the stereotype that math is a male subject.
The Third International Math and Science Study, a study that compared math achievement among elementary and secondary students from the world's nations, indicated that the United States was one of three countries that did not show a significant gender gap in general math knowledge. The study was released in late February by the U.S. Department of Education.
Michael Martin, deputy study
director, said the study found that in the area of general math, defined as basic skills and basic algebra, there was no major difference between the achievement of males and females.
Barbara Ballard, associate dean of student life, deals with women's issues in her work with the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center. She said that she thought there had been progress and that it had begun with the women's movement, which forced educators to look at how women were being treated compared to men.
Martin said that the lack of a gender gap in math abilities was not surprising because the disparity between males and females in math
had been changing for a long time.
"Over the last 30 to 40 years, at least in general knowledge of mathematics, the gender gap has been declining." he said.
He said the gap began to widen in advanced math, such as calculus.
Martin said he thought the gap widened because fewer females took advanced math courses.
Joanna Griffin, Wichita freshman, who is taking Math 101, noticed that in her high school, not as many females took the upper level math classes.
"As the classes got higher in level, there were more male than female students," she said.
Martin and Ballard agreed that there were other reasons than a
lack of female math abilities.
"We know the ability is there, because in the early years, women make better grades than men," Ballard said. "It has to do with how girls are perceived."
Martin also said that perception may be part of the problem.
"It may be that girls think of math as a boy's field." Martin said.
Judy Roitman, professor of mathematics, said the focus should be on a gap in attention and encouragement that women receive in math education.
"The question isn't whether women are closing the gap, but whether the educational system is encouraging women to study math," Roitman said.

An Open Letter to Students Planning to Attend Law School from U.S.News & World Report
~
Dear Student
DON'T YOU JUST HATE TO BE GRADED? Well, by their shrill protests about U.S.News & World Report law school rankings, so do most of the deans of the law schools you are considering. However, as a law school graduate with both a J.D. and a LL.M. degree, I can tell you that these same deans will subject you to rigorous grading. You will be required to endure lectures from tenured professors who have not changed their class notes since the Battle of Hastings. Then, after attending class for a full semester, you will be given one exam to determine your grade. One exam, one semester, one grade. One roll of the dice to measure your performance.
At U.S.News & World Report we are far more equitable (to use a legal term). We have a multi-faceted, multidimensional, sophisticated ranking system developed and evolved over many years to give you guidance on what may be one of your largest financial investments and certainly one of the most important choices for your career in law and perhaps beyond. While our law school rankings should not be the only criteria in your choice of a law school, they should certainly be an important part of the analysis.
Get your copy of U.S.News & World Report's Best Graduate Schools guide on newsstands now. Or, to make it easier for you to see the book that 164 law school deans would prefer you not see (notwithstanding their commitment to the First Amendment), call 1-800-836-6397 (ask for extension 5105) and I will arrange for a copy of the book to be sent directly to you at $1 off the newsstand price.* This will also ensure that you have a copy of these important rankings because, as a result of publicity surrounding the deans' determination to have you ignore the rankings, they are a very hot item.
These law school rankings are a small part of our philosophy of News You Can Use*: information we bring you in each issue of the magazine to help you manage your life.
Good luck in law school and good luck on making the right choice.
Kindest Regards.
Sincerely,
- Shipping and handling charges additional

Spencer Library houses materials about politics, life
Duane Wagler
Special to the Kansan
Remnants of the Irish thirst for independence and more than 15,000 other holdings of historical Irish material can be found in Spencer Research Library.
The O'Hegarty Collection, which is one of the two largest North American collections of printed materials of Irish studies, has been the property of the University since 1959. It offers a comprehensive insight into Irish history through Patrick O'Hegarty's (1879-1955) penchant for collecting.
The collection reflects O'Hegarty's primary interest as political history, Helyar said.
"O'Hegarty was keen to collect anything Irish," said James Helyar, special collections librarian.
O'Hegarty, who spent much of his life in the m alestrom of Irish politics, advocated Irish independence until World War I.
The O'Hegarty Collection includes a book of patriotic poetry of the Young Irelanders titled "The Spirit of the Nation." The book contains inscriptions from the leaders of an unsuccessful Irish uprising, which were written from Clomel Prison on November 13, 1848.
One of the leaders, Patrick O'Donoghue, adds after his signature, "The day on which I was sentenced to be hanged."
Helyar said the crown jewel of the collection may be the copy of
the Proclamation of the Irish Republic of 1916.
"This was a treasonable statement," Helvar said.
Distributed on April 24,1916, soon after the Easter Rising, the proclamation included the signatures of seven men, who soon were executed for their insubordination to the crown.
Not all of the collection has the echo of martyrs. It also contains printed material on subjects ranging from history of religion to Irish topography.
Richard W. Clement, associate special collections librarian, said that one Irish consul from Chicago benefited from the collection's comprehensiveness. Clement said that the Irish consul's grandfather
had been a playwright who produced a 1938 play in the Abbey Theatre in Dublin.
"He had never seen the program for that, and we were able to put the program for his grandfather's play in his hand." Clement said.
In the collection, a reference is made to the Great Famine, as the potato blight spread from 1845 to 1849. Included in the collection is a pamphlet titled "The potato blight famine: questions and replies between two travelers, on its causes and results." The pamphlet describes the dangers of Ireland relying on a single crop.
The collection has earned the stamp of approval from O'Hegarty's daughter who has visited the collection.
"I think she was very impressed by it and happy to have it in safe-keeping," Helyar said.

Museum officials dig up $55,000 grant
Money will be used to finish unearthing, restoring dinosaurs
By Susie Gura
Kansan staff writer
The Natural History Museum dug up a grant from the state of Kansas to complete the excavation and restoration of a group of fossils discovered last summer.
The $55,000 grant came from the Tourism Attraction Development Grant Program, which is funded annually by the Division of Travel and Tourism.
The division is part of the Kansas Department of Commerce and Housing. The grant will enable the museum to recover at least two Camarasaurus specimens and other fossils from a Wyoming site excavated during 1997.
"The grant will be used to finish the excavation in Wyoming this summer, to fund the preparation of dinosaur bones and the planning of the dinosaur exhibit," said Leonard Kristalka, Natural History Museum director.
Larry Martin, senior curator of the Natural History Museum, said preparations of the dinosaur exhibit were postponed until the museum received the grant. The grant guaranteed continuation of the excavation, Martin said.
"It was life or death," he said.
It was he of death. he said.
Martin said the grant would be used to fund excavation expenses, which included traveling costs and money to pay excavators. It also will cover the costs of shipping and materials to preserve the dinosaur, he said.
The grant will assist the museum in planning for a permanent space for the dinosaurs. Krishtalka said plans included adding on to the museum or renovating existing space.
"We need more room to do justice to the exhibits," Kristishika said.
The museum applied for the grant in October 1997. The guidelines for the grant required the museum to show donation pledges before applying for the grant.
"Forty percent of the money came from the state, and sixty per cent came from private donations," Kristhalka said. "We received about $99,000 in matching pledges."
The grant helped the museum generate matching funds from private donations and convey the story of the dinosaur to Kansans and those living outside of Kansas.
"There are no museums between Denver and Chicago that have

large-scale exhibits of real dinosaur skeletons," Krishtalka said.
He said the grant would help attract tourists not only from Kansas but from surrounding states as well.
"We are pleased to help with increasing tourism," he said.

Pet owners seek psychics to assist, talk to animals
The Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — When Tracy L'Hirisson's champion llama, Copper Penny, got sick last fall, she made two phone calls.
One was to her veterinarian. The next was to an animal psychic.
From her home in Eagle, Idaho,
L'Herisson called Dawn Haman in
Clinton, N.Y., to ask for help.
Through Haman, the aliling llama was able to tell his owner his troubles, or so L'Herisson believes.
"Copper Penny said, 'I was eating something I've always eaten with leaves on it. But right after, there was a lot of pain in my stomach, and it hurt to walk, and I feel very weak now," L'Herisson said.
The lama's problem turned out to be life-threatening colic, a diagnosis the vet reached with Haman's help and was able to treat. L'Herisson said.
L'Herisson, an interior designer who has used psychics for a decade to talk to her llamas, dogs and cats, said Haman has been correct too many times to disbelieve her.
"We've had enough situations that have been so accurate ... that it doesn't behove you to doubt anymore," she said.
Haman is one of a few dozen people, mostly women, who profess an ability to probe the psyche of any animal. They call themselves animal psychics or animal communicators.
Psychics have been consulted to deal with human problems for years. But Matt Nisbett of the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal said military intelligence officials experimented for two decades on practical uses for purported psychic ability and produced no meaningful results. It dropped the program in 1995.
The psychic industry in the United States, where a poll found 26 percent believe in clairvoyance, soon will be worth $2 billion a year, according to reports he quoted.
An estimated 50 people in this country are professional animal communicators, said Penelope Smith of Point Reyes, Calif., who maintains an informal listing.
Professor raps about Nietzsche
Fees range from $15 to $25 for a 15-minute session with one animal and up to $100 for an hour session with multilet animals.
"Seven out of 10 times I will have something really strong and earth shattering for the owner," said Diana Beuchert, a psychic from Mount Airy, Md.
And their claimed accuracy rates?
Mary K.
Psychics cannot explain the process. "I can't tell you how it happens," said Haman, who also runs a nonprofit sanctuary for about 200 animals. "I am constantly amazed."

Julie Maybe made a connection yesterday between the ideas of a 19th-century German philosopher and modern music in her lecture titled Nietzsche, Rap and the Blues.
By Emily C. Forsyth
eforsyth@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Maybe, assistant professor of philosophy, spoke to about 60 people at Strong Hall. Her presentation included a reading from her research paper and an audience discussion. The lecture was the first in a semester-long series sponsored by the humanities and Western Civilization programs.
During her lecture, Maybee focused on the similarities between the ideas of Friedrich Nietzsche and rap music. She argued rap music fulfilled Nietzsche's concept of a tragic art form.
Some of the similarities Maybe drew between Nietzsche's idea of tragic art and rap music were that both celebrated life while acknowledging its terrible problems, providing pleasure through pain.
She said Nietzsche longed for a new art that originally was creative and rap music satisfied his criteria for tragic art.
Richard Buck, Chicago graduate student, said that Maybee gave a new perspective about Nietzsche.
"Many people interpret Nietzsche as either racist or anti-Semitic," Buck said. "She gave a convincing argument that some of his main ideas are
exemplified in rap music — nonwhite music — so I think it goes a long way to dispel common misinterpretations of Nietzsche."
Cotten Seiler, Louisville, Ky., graduate student who teaches a Western Civilization course, said the lecture helped refine his idea of Nietzsche's sense of tragedy. He also said it was important to discuss topics such as rap at the University.
"More academic, so-called high culture discussions of popular culture need to go on." Seiler said. "I think it's important to bring popular culture into academia and quit talking about it as if it's something beneath academic inquiry."
"I've tried very hard in this paper, as I did in the course, to rely on Black readings of Black art in making my case," she said. "It helps to allay fears about what has happened often when white folks have used white theories to talk about Black art."
Maybee said there were political concerns in applying a Caucasian theory to African-American art.
"People often say why not use Black-generated theories to discuss Black art," Maybee said.
"He may yet have had to grow new ears in order to hear the way in which rap and the blues answer his call for a rebirth of tragedy," Maybe said.
Maybe said that despite the correlations in her study, Nietzsche still might have a difficult time relating to today's style of music.
Safe Break deals with student safety
Playing cards right theme of activities throughout week
By Carl Kaminski
ckaminski@kansan.com
Kansan stuff writer
Elvis impersonators hope to teach students to play their cards right during Spring Break.
According to Watkins Memorial Health Center, 42 percent of college students binge drink and one in eight sexually active students at the University of Kansas have a sexually transmitted disease. More students binge drink and students are more likely to contract a sexually transmitted disease during break.
Safe Break Week, Sunday through Thursday, will include activities to educate students about how to protect themselves.
The theme for this year's Safe Break is "Play Your Cards Right."
Activities in front of Wescoe Hall today will feature University representatives dressed in Elvis costumes and casino-type games, including blackjack, said Jennifer Kinney, Greeks Advocating Mature Management of Alcohol adviser.
GAMMA, Watkins Health Center, KU Police, Student Housing and Boost Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students are sponsoring the week of activities.
Students can learn about everything from how to keep from getting sunburned to how to not get alcohol poisoning, Kinney said.
Kinney said that there was no guarantee that the activities would help but that she hoped students will take some of what they learn during Safe Break Week with them.
"If you help just a handful of people, then that's more than you had helped before," she said.
To kick off the week, Alpha Gamma Delta sorority invited speakers to come to the University.
Gene and Peggy Schmidt, who lobbied for the passage of the Kansas sexual predator law, and Mike Green, a former college
"If you help just a handful of people, then that's more than you had helped before."
Jennifer Kinney GAMMA adviser
athlete and a speaker on alcoholism, spoke Sunday night in Hoch Auditorium.
Literature and games sponsored by different living organizations where held in front of Wescoe Hall yesterday and will continue today, weather permitting. Kinneva said.
There will be two wrecked cars on campus to show students the consequences of driving drunk, and the Kansas Highway Patrol will demonstrate its Rollover Machine, which simulates the effect of driving drunk. No activities are planned for tomorrow.
Thursday, the last day of the Safe Break activities, bicycle safety demonstrations will be at Stauffer Place Apartments.
All of the events of Safe Break week are free.

Next year's SUA board appointed
By Marcelo Vilela
mvilela@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Student Union Activities has selected a new board of coordinators and officers for next year.
The eight coordinators and four officers will hold office hours after Spring Break and officially will be responsible for their committees and offices starting in summer.
The new SUA coordinators were chosen during the past week. The officers were selected three weeks ago.
The first board meeting for the new officers and coordinators will be today, and the meeting will resemble a training session, said Kielyn Scott, Wichita senior and new SUA president.
"We will plan events and try to get the new people assimilated to SUA," Scott said. "It will be kind of a crash course."
Scott said the new coordinators were selected according to their approachability, creativeness, responsibility and ability to cooperate.
The new coordinators were selected by current SUA officers, coordinators and advisers. A new coordinator position of public relations also was created.
Most of SUA's new officers and coordinators previously were involved with SUA. Scott was the coordinator for special events. Brett Generaux, Kansas City, Kan., senior was the film spectrum coordinator and has been appointed the new vice president for membership development.
Cody Simms, Wichita junior and the new forums coordinator, has been involved with SUA for the past two years.
"SUA is the most valuable student organization to broaden the overall mind of students on campus." Simms said. "It gives opportunities beyond the classroom. The programs that SUA puts on are different from anything else you can find on campus."
Jeff LaCroix, Olathe junior and new vice president for university relations, said he wanted to become an SUA officer because the organization provided students with a final say about some events at the University.
"SUA allows an opportunity to do real-work programs at the university." LaCroix said.
Jerry Oleary, Lawrence senior, was selected as the spectrum films coordinator. He said his goal was to bring to students movies that were not under the feature films blanket, such as foreign and classic films.

Advisers admonish AIDS policy
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Clinton's AIDS advisers demanded yesterday that the administration immediately allow local communities to fight the deadly virus by spending federal money on clean needles for drug addicts.
Saying that 33 people each day catch the AIDS virus directly from a dirty needle, the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS issued its harshest criticism yet of the Clinton administration's refusal to federally fund needle-exchange programs — despite scientific consensus that the programs work.
"Lack of political will can no longer justify ignoring the science," the council wrote to Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala yesterday. "Every day that goes by means more needless new infections and more human suffering."
Ignoring these programs would be an abdication of your responsibilities, the council wrote.
Today, the 30-member council will vote on a resolution expressing no confidence in the administration's ability to stop HIV's spread, and members predict a unanimous vote. Members also were drafting a letter to Clinton expressing their growing frustration.
"We're angry," said Scott Hitt, chairman of the council and a Los Angeles physician.
Clinton officials ignored earlier warnings, said Robert Fogel, a Chicago lawyer and Clinton fundraiser. If the Clinton officials don't listen this time, the council is going to have to consider calling for the secretary to resign, or the council itself could resign in protest, he said.
Shalala has said that needle exchanges effectively can fight HIV, but the department has not yet concluded that needle-exchange programs do not encourage drug use, said her representative, Melissa Skolfield.
Until Shalala proves that last issue, Congress has refused to let communities use federal AIDS prevention dollars to establish needle exchanges.
The AIDS advisers said yesterday that Shalala already could answer the drug-use question.
"There is no credible evidence that needle-exchange programs lead to increased drug abuse," they wrote.
"The absence of proof is not the same as proof," responded Skofield, who said Shalala was awaiting several federal studies of the issue.
More than half of all people newly infected with HIV got the deadly virus through contaminated needles, sex with injecting drug users or are children born to infect addicts.
The nation's leading scientific groups agree that letting addicts exchange used needles for fresh ones significantly cuts the spread of HIV. The National Institutes of Health has called needle exchange a powerful AIDS weapon that has been blocked by political concerns about providing needles to addicts.
More than 80 needle exchanges, paid for by private or other nonfederal money, already operate in the United States, but AIDS activists say expanding the exchanges would require federal funding.
Congress decided last fall that if Shalala did support needle exchanges, communities could spend federal dollars on the exchanges only after March 31. Hitt said the approach of that spending date added urgency to his panel's call for action.

Vatican holocaust document criticized by Jewish leaders
The Associated Press
VATICAN CITY — In a long-awaited document that Jewish leaders immediately criticized, the Vatican expressed remorse yesterday for the cowardice of some Christians during the Holocaust but defended the actions of the war-time pope.
The Vatican's version of the Roman Catholic church's role during World War II, coming in a statement promised by Pope John Paul II a decade ago, singled out Pope Pius XII for praise as a wise diplomat. He long has been criticized for failing to speak forcefully against Nazi persecution.
"It is too little, too late." Meir Lau, Israel's chief rabbi and a Holocaust survivor, said in Tel Aviv. "I have no doubt that the church did not do everything it could have to save people... His (Plus XII) silence cost millions of human lives."
In recent years, bishops in several European countries have apologized on behalf of their churches for not having done enough to fight the Nazis, and there were expectations that John Paul would use the document to apologize for the Roman Catholic church as an institution.
In a preface, the pope expressed hope
that the document would help heal the wounds of past misunderstandings and injustices.
The document is titled We Remember: A Reflection on the Shoah (Holocaust).
"It) asks our Jewish friends to hear us with an open heart," said Cardinal Edward I. Cassidy, whose Commission for Religious Relations with the Jews produced the work.
But many Jews had hoped to hear more. "I'm disappointed in it," said Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League.
In one of its principle points, the document said, "We deeply regret the errors and failures of those sons and daughters of the church."
FRANCE HUNGARY ITALY BOSNIA VATICAN CITY KANSAM
"We cannot know how many Christians in countries occupied or ruled by the Nazi powers or their allies were horrified at the disappearance of their Jewish neighbors and yet were not strong enough to raise their voices in protest," the document said.
Most of the criticism centered on the document's ringing defense of Pius XII and the wisdom of his diplomacy.
It cited a 1939 Pius encyclical warning that an hour of darkness could result
from Nazi theories, which denied the unity of the human race.
The document took pains to distance Nazism from any Christian inspiration, calling the Holocaust the work of a thoroughly modern neo-pagan regime.
The 12-page document went beyond the Holocaust and condemned other mass killings this century.
It did not, however, move the pope's position beyond what he has expressed in the past.

CBS interview spreads worry about approval of presidency
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Stunned by Kathleen Willey's dramatic TV appearance, the White House launched a campaign yesterday to discredit her allegation of a crude sexual advance by President Clinton in 1993.
"Nothing improper happened," Clinton said.
Clinton's aides said privately that Willey was the most credible accuser yet, and they clearly were
worried about how the public would react to her nationally televised interview.
CLEARLY PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
In a CBS-TV 60 Minutes show watched by nearly 20 million Americans, the soft-spoken former Democratic fund-raiser and ex-Write House aide said of her encounter with Clinton, "I just felt overpowered."
Clinton's political team anxiously awaived polls about whether Willey's allegations would undercut Clinton's approval ratings, which have remained high throughout the Monica Lewinsky investigation.
Clinton: Advisers wait for poll results to show effect of latest allegation.
The question asked throughout Washington and at water coolers across the country: Do you believe her?
House Speaker Newt Gingrich said she was a credible witness. "If it proves to be true, I think it'll have very profound consequences and certainly it should quiet all of those who have been complaining about Judge Starr." Gingrich said.
"I found her credible," Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott said. "But, you know, there is contradictory testimony that has been given, and I presume at some point we'll find more about what the actual truth is."
After Willey's statement on 60 Minutes that she felt betrayed by Clinton, the president's lawyers gathered letters written by her to Clinton after the incident.
In the letters, many signed "Fondly, Kathleen," she requested jobs and a Christmas party invitation and referred to herself as Clinton's "No. 1 fan." Less than a month after the encounter, she wrote to wish him a wonderful Christmas and thanked him for the opportunity to work in the White House.
The letters were released yesterday by the White House at the request of The Associated Press.
Willey, 51, is a potentially critical witness for Whitewater prosecutor Kenneth Starr, who is investigating whether Clinton had an affair with Lewinsky and lied about it under oath. Both the president and Willey provided sworn testimony in the Paula Jones sexual harassment case; one of them did not tell the truth.
Clinton said he tried to console Willey, who came to the Oval Office in November 1993 with severe finance problems and a request for a full-time job. In his deposition, the president told lawyers that he might have kissed her on the forehead.
With a look of bewilderment, Clinton said yesterday that he did not know why Willey would fabricate the charge.
Clinton's advisers, all speaking on condition of anonymity, said they believed the answer was in Willey's money problems or emotional state of mind.
She came to Clinton for help after learning that her husband's finances were failing. Ed Willey, who was under investigation for alleged financial wrongdoing, killed himself the day of the encounter — without his wife or Clinton knowing about it at the time. She still has money troubles.
Willey told lawyers she met with Clinton shortly after the incident and she told him she wanted to put the incident behind her. Months later, upon leaving her White House job, she thanked Clinton for sending her to two international conferences.
for taking Clinton's lawyers compared Willey's TV testimony to her deposition and highlighted inconsistencies. They said that she told 60 Minutes that Clinton kissed her on the lips, but in the deposition, she said he tried to kiss her but she couldn't remember if he succeeded.

Playin' in the band
DOWN
By Gerry Doyle gdylee@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Friday. March 13, 7:01 a.m.
My alarm goes off. I don't know where I am for a few moments, but after some self-convincing, I struggle out of bed and into the shower. It's a bit early to be getting up after a late Thursday night, but it's okay. The Jayhawk men and women are in the Big Dance.
7:50 a.m.
My car barely makes it past a patch of ice in the alley behind my house, and I go to pick up another band member. She also is tired.
8:30 a.m.
We roll away from Murphy Hall. The band director hands out travel money to the 25 or so members on the bus. There is much rejoicing.
2:30 p.m.
We arrive in downtown Iowa City, Iowa.
We step off the bus. The first thing we notice is the smell, sharp and pungent even in the chilly March air.
It's the smell of pigs doing what pigs do We quickly go inside.
We play some songs for a few Kansas fans who are assembled in the lobby for a pregame rally. It's loud. Finally, we form a tunnel, and the women's team jogs through. The women seem ready to play.
6 d.m.
Tipoff of the Tulane game. After a slow start, the women pick up steam, hitting shots and playing defense.
We feel bad for the Tulane band, a collection of four saxophones, a flute, a tuba, a trumpet and a sprinkling of drums. The band isn't very good, but its members seem like nice people.
We play during timeouts and yell when the referees make a bad call. Master hecklers, we cajole the Tulane team into a turnover here, a bad shot there.
The Jayhawks hit two key free throws with 10.7 seconds left, sealing the win, 72-68.
8:45 p.m.
We get back to the hotel. We head out to an eating and drinking establishment for some much-needed dinner and for beverages to soothe our raw throats. We badger the management until it puts the
KU-Prairie View A&M game on the big screen. The Jayhawks win by a lot. Although it takes nearly an hour to get our food, there is much rejoicing.
About 11 p.m.
The band members say their goodnights and go to bed after a night of carousing. I have an odd dream that a bunch of people — most of whom I don't know — burst into my room after I have fallen asleep. The people are loud, and one of them jumps on my bed. Odd, indeed.
Saturday, March 14, 12:30 p.m. I manage to open my eyes and look at my watch. I look around the room. I am
the only one there.
Strangely, debris — as if from a party — litters the room. I feel for the television remote on the bed stand, find it and press my thumb on the "on" button.
2 p.m.
I shower and go get some food from a Hardee's down the street. I bring it back, collapse on the floor of the room and munch. The food is good. The basketball on television is good. I am happy.
4 p.m.
A group of us wander around the city, searching for pastries. I scout potential dinner locations on the sly.
5:45 p.m.
1 go shopping with another band member.
I buy a KRS-ONE CD at a small shop called Discount Records. The CD costs $15.99, hardly a discount.
We find a grocery store and buy some party supplies.
The girl I'm shopping with tells me that my odd dream last night wasn't a dream. Odd.
6:30 n.m.
11 n.m.
Dinnertime. We eat at a pizza place called Airliner. Pictures of World War II aircraft dot the walls. It's pretty neat. I order a French dip and a salad, both of which are good. We play pinball in the back of the restaurant. It's neat.
We head to a club down the block called The Union. The city seems filled with bars and clubs with these kinds of names: There is a place called The Fieldhouse, and I think overhear someone talking about going drinking at The Library. I am intrigued.
11:30 p.m.
Despite every shred of common sense I have, I am dancing. The lights are fun; the music is loud. When I am not feeling self-conscious, I enjoy myself. The spirit squad shows up. Things become more fun.
Sundav. March 15. 1:15 a.m.
Suddenly, I am dancing with a bunch of people I don't know. Smiling, I carefully boogie my way out of the crowd and scan the undulating mob of people on the floor. I see one guy I know. He tells me everybody left. I nod and head out the door. The night air is a quiet, cool contrast to the interior of The Union.
1:30 a.m.
We don't do anything social back at the hotel. No parties, no being loud, no arrests and definitely no drinking. The lack of social activity moves to the room of two of the team's managers. One of them calls some players. They are asleep.
3 a.m.
Bedtime.
12:30 p.m.
I wake up, shower, get some food. We work for a little while at cleaning up the hotel room, which mysteriously is filled with debris again. We pack, get our stuff

Baseball team plagued with rainy-day blues
By John Blakely Wilson
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas baseball team continues to battle weather conditions more than opposing teams. The Jayhawks (8-6) are scheduled to play Arkansas (15-4) at 5 p.m. today at Hoglund-Maupin Stadium.
Weather forecasts for this week call for
showers through the weekend, which could postpone today's and tomorrow's scheduled games against Arkansas and may
Baseball
threaten the upcoming weekend series against Iowa State.
"It's so rare to have weather this poor in March,"said Bobby Ralland, Kansas coach. "I get frustrated with this much rain in March, but it usually only happens once every ten years."
Games scheduled against Nebraska Kansas State and Air Force were canceled last weekend because of poor weather before conditions finally allowed Kansas to play Hastings College Sunday in Lawrence. The Javahwens won 11-3.
"It was a cold day, but we got out there and shook the turf off our shoes," Randall said.
The Jayhawks used every pitcher except for Les Walrond, who should start today. Assistant coach Wilson Kilmer said Walrond, who is 2-1 with a 5.75 earned run average, had been the most consistent pitcher this season.
"Les didn't come into this season with much pitching experience," Kilmer said. "He has made amazing progress from last spring to this spring."
Kilmer said that the pitching staff had progressed, but that canceled games had slowed development.
Walrond also can bat. He made three hits Sunday as the designated hitter, one of which was a three-run home run.
"Every time we think a guy has something going, he's had to sit a week or two," Kilmer said. "We need some good weather so everybody can get into a rhythm in throwing the ball."
Arkansas, a consensus top-20 team, is coming off a 36-20 1997 season in which it narrowly won out on the NCAA tournament.
"They attract good players and are traditionally one of the most fundamentally sound teams we face." Randall said. "We need to play teams like Arkansas to prepare us for the Texas Techs and Oklahoma of the world."
Jayhawks express disbelief about close of season
By Tommy Gallagher
tgallagher@kansan.com
Kansan sportwriter
Kansas coach Roy Williams always told his plains to fear no one but respect everyone.
Williams frequently shuttled players in and out of the game — 51 times to Rhode Island's 16. He played guard Billy Thomas and forward Lester Earl on offense and guard C.B. McGrath and forward Nick Bradford on defense during the game's final minutes, changing lineups at nearly every whistle.
But some Rhode Island players perceived a lack of respect by top-seeded Kansas during most of its 80-75 upset of the Jayhawks Sunday night.
"I think they underestimated us," he said. "I think they were overconfident and didn't want to play us until the last five or six minutes. We had the game under control by then."
Rams forward Antonio Reynolds-Dean said the Jayhawks only started playing with intensity late in the game.
"I still never thought that we were going to lose the ballgame, even when we were down with only five or six minutes to go." McGrath said. "I had that much confidence in our team, but I guess it didn't turn out that way."
Despite Kansas' superior bench, athleticism and frontcourt size, the game was out of reach.
Tossing up bricks
The Kansas basketball team's overall and 3-point shooting percentages in NCAA Tournament losses:

32-72 (42.5%) 10-25 (40%)
1998 Rhode Island
31-73 (42.5%) 5-28 (17.8%)
Forward Paul Pierce shared the same sentiment.
Andrew Rohrback / KANSAN
"It was frustrating," Pierce said. "At no time did I feel we were out of the game. No matter how many threes they hit, I always thought we'd come back. Only after that buzzer did it sink in that we had lost."
Williams led solid, but lackluster, teams to the Final Four in 1991 and 1983. But with two first-team All-Americans, six McDonald's All-Americans and a bevy of talent from top to bottom, the Jayhawks floundered again.
For the fourth time in seven seasons, the Jayhawks earned the No.1 seed. And on all four occasions, Kansas advanced no further than the Sweet 16.

FALLEN NUMBER ONE SEEDS No. 1 seeds that have lost second-round games since 1979, when the NCAA began seeding teams:
Pierce said Sunday that the loss left him craving for an escape route.
"No one wants to be here. I don't want to be here in this locker room do interviews right now," Pierce said. "But I have to accept the fact that we lost because I have to move on."
KSHH
Some of his teammates hinted that Pierce may forge his senior season to go the NBA. Pierce said Sunday that he would discuss his future with his family and Williams and that a decision could come in few weeks.
Until then, most of the Jayhawks said they would skip watching the rest of the NCAA Tournament. Remembering the pain from their loss would be too hard.

"My career's over. and I'm proud of
what I've been able to accomplish, what I've done," forward Raef LaFrentz said. "I'm proud of the people who we've been in
contact with, grown with the past four years. But we didn't make the Final Four."

The Associated Press
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Three officials were barred from working 1998 women's tournament games by the NCAA yesterday after their wrong call allowed Alabama's game-winning shot against UCLA.
Jack Riordan, Robert Strong and Lolly Saenz were banned from the rest of the tournament because, the NCAA said, they made officiating mistakes at the end of the Midwest Regional game at Tuscaloosa on Sunday. The mistakes included allowing Latoya Caudle's game-winner shot to stand.
Despite finding that the home-team timekeeper started the clock too slowly and a violation was committed on the inbounds pass, the NCAA said the Crimson Tide still would be recognized as the winner.
"After reviewing the tape of the game with Marcy Weston, national coordinator of women's basketball officiating, it is apparent that officiating mistakes were made," said Jean Lenti Ponsette, chair of the Division I women's basketball committee.
It started with 1.8 seconds left, when UCLA's Mayland Martin was fouled and hit her first free throw to give the Bruins a 74-73 lead.
She missed the second, Alabama got the rebound and immediately called a timeout with the clock reading 0.8 seconds.
After the break, Riordan told Alabama guard Brittney Ezell she could run the baseline on the inbounds pass, a ruling he later admitted was incorrect. Players can only run the baseline after a made basket or free throw.
Riordan's ruling was not reversible.
UCLA
Ezell ran the baseline and threw a pass three-quarters of the court, where it was tipped by both UCLA's Erica Gomez and Ala b a m a's Dominique Canty.
Canty's deflec-
Canny's deception went to Caudle, who banked in a jumper from the top of the key for the winning points.
"Clearly, the officials failed to call the violation on the end line when the student-athlete moved from the throw in spot," Ponsetto said. "However, by rule, that is not a correctable error.
UCLA coach Kathy Olivier immediately protested, thinking there was no way it all could have happened in less than a second.
"Clearly also, if the officials thought a timing error had been made, they could have reviewed the tape before they left the floor. ... They did not. Once they leave the floor, by rule, their jurisdiction ends, the game is over and the score stands."
Replays showed the clock didn't start when the ball was first touched, but once the referees left the court, the word of timekeeper Doc Blanchard was all NCAA officials could go on. Blanchard, who has been working the clock at Alabama games for more than a quarter century, said he
After ruling the basket good, the referees quickly ran to the locker room, leaving NCAA representatives to consult on the phone with Weston.
started it on time.
"They may use TV monitors for a scoring or a timing mistake if they feel a mistake has occurred — that's the operative phrase," Weston said. "They got it right. The ball was out of her hand before time expired. That's the main focus. They didn't think there was anything controversial. If they thought there was, they would have had to go to the table before they left the floor."
A 90-minute delay ensued, with several UCLA players remaining on the floor waiting for the decision.
“It's so sad that the focus after a great game is not on how the players from both teams gave their guts, but on an old clock and the guy running it,” said Olivier. “What should have been a great game for women's basketball is just a controversy.”
The win sends Alabama to Lubbock, Texas, for a regional semifinal game Friday. And it sends UCLA home, complaining.
"This underscores the problem of not playing these games at neutral sites," Olivier said. "We played a great game, and it makes me sad that they couldn't give us a definite interpretation. There are a lot of questions to answer."
Also incensed by the outcome was Natalie Williams, the American Basketball League's most valuable player. Williams says she will give back the six NCAA-sanctioned awards she won at UCLA to express her outrage.
"It is a travesty that the NCAA has not overruled the outcome of this game." Williams said in a statement she faxed Monday to the NCAA.
Rams fall short of Purdue in tourney's second round
The Associated Press
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — With Colorado State putting on a shooting clinic from three-point range, Purdue needed someone — anyone — to step up. Mackenzie Curless figured it might as well be her.
The sophomore center scored 12 of her 18 points in the second half yesterday as Purdue beat Colorado State 77-63 in the second round of the women's NCAA tournament.
Ukari Figgs and Stephanie White each had 20 for the Boilermakers (22-9), and Michelle Duhart added 10.
Becky Hammon led the Rams with 23 points, 19 of which came in the first half. Katie Cronin, Colorado State's second-leading scorer, finished with 12 after going scoreless in the first half. Jacque Johnson also had 12 for Colorado State (24-6).
With 21 seconds left, rookie Purdue coach Carolyn Peck went down the bench, exchanging high-fives with her players. The Boilermakers play Notre Dame Saturday in the Midwest Regional in Lubbock, Texas. The Irish defeated top-seeded Texas Tech Sunday night.
In their only previous meeting this season, Notre Dame beat Purdue 77-71.
Colorado State led by 13 in the first half, thanks to six straight threepointers — including three from Hammon. But Purdue ended the first half with a 13-4 run to cut the lead to 38-34 at the break.
PURDUE
And the Boilermakers started the second half just as they ended the first — on a tear. Sparked by Curless, they scored eight unanswered points before Cronin finally hit a three-pointer, her first basket of the game.
Back-to-back baskets from Curless gave Purdue a 49-45 lead, its largest of the game, with 12:52 left. But Colorado State wasn't done yet. Cronin hit a three-pointer and then dished off to Hammon for a layup.
Heather Haanen's layup gave the Rams' a 52-49 lead with 10:48 left, but that was it for Colorado State, which couldn't handle Purdue's pressure. The Boilermakers were all around the floor, making shots and then stealing the ball at the other end.
By the time Colorado State scored another field goal, a three-pointer from Johnson with 1:53 left. Purdue led 69-60.

together, watch basketball. Excitem ent for the men's and women's games is growing.
The CBS station in Iowa City doesn't show any of the men's game. We have another pep rally in the lobby, and the team again seems fired up. We pile on the bus to head to Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The halftime score of the men's game floats through the bus: 30-28.
We are arrayed in our band space in the arena. A nervous buzz permeates our group. I ask a Kansan photographer what the score is, and he says he will check. He brings me the score — we're down by six with four minutes to play — and a cookie. The cookie is good, but it doesn't make me happy.
6:05 p.m.
The men's team has lost. I sip ice water and commiserate with the rest of the band.
6:10 p.m.
Our band director tells us that he doesn't know about us, but he wants
to make sure Kansas teams go 1-1 today. We cheer and start to play.
6:30 p.m.
Tipoff. The Hawkeyes seem fired up, confident. They are the higher seed, playing on their home court, and for awhile it seems they can't miss.
The Jayhawks battle back though, and they pull within seven at halftime. We are hopeful. We cheer every possession, screaming through the waves of crowd noise from the Hawkeye faithful.
Sometimes it gets confusing when they shout "Go Hawks." I want to shout with them.
8:20 p.m.
The game is finished. Kansas wins. The team, jumping, piling, celebrating at center court, gains the right to travel to Oakland, Calif., for the Sweet 16.
The game approaches the final minutes. Kansas goes on a run and pulls ahead. We yell. The two teams trade basketkes. The lead sees saws back and forth. We cheer; the Hawkew fans cheer. It is noisy.
The band is hoarse, happy and covered in the glittering confetti that someone brought along. We

play "Home on the Range." We leave.

11 p.m.
I'm worn out. People are studying, chattering and watching the movies.
I fall into a kind of half-sleep, the jostlings of the road and the uncomfortable seat position preventing full-scale slumber.
We're driving through Iowa. Stripes and Top Gun already have played out on the bus's VCR, and someone puts in Spaceballs.
7:01 a.m.
We arrive in Lawrence. I drive the person I picked up Friday to her house. I go home, throw my stuff on my bedroom floor and crash. As I walk into the house, I can see beer bottles and game-watching debris scattered across the floor and couches.
My alarm goes off. I don't know where I am for a few moments, but after some self-convincing, I struggle out of bed and into the shower. It's a bit early to be getting up after a late Sunday night, but that's okay. The Jayhawks are in the Big Dance.

Students try to form gymnastics club
The Robinson Center gymnasts gym was filled with grunts, sweat and concentration at 8:46 Thursday night as about 20 gymnasts struggled to meet their personal goals.
Fifteen minutes later, the would-be KU Gymnastics Club had an informational meeting, completing another segment in the University's club-forming process and moving a step closer to becoming a club that could compete.
"Being able to compete would be like a dream come true, something I've never had a chance to do before," said Brett Lydon, Genesee, Pa. graduate student, who would be the club's vice-president.
That soon may change.
At the meeting Jenelle Diebold,
Wichita junior, who would be
club president, explained some
of the benefits of the club as
compared to individual gymnastics
They would like to compete against athletes from other schools, but they can't.
It was a look at athletes striving for perfection, with no motivation other than what they find within themselves.
Keith Burner
Kansan Sportswriter
Gymnasts would be able to bring in a coach or coaches to help with workouts. And if the gymnasts were in a club, they probably would receive more allotted gym time from Robinson, she said.
The club would be for all ages and skill levels, she said.
Now the gym is open to students only from 7 to 9 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Diebold said the club would try to get practice times for Monday and Wednesday evenings as well.
Lydon said that the club had to present its constitution to the KU Sports Club Council at the council's April meeting.
According to the KU Club Sports Handbook, the final decision about club status was in the hands of the Office of Recreational Services.
Rick Rosenstengle, associate director of the recreation services department, refused to comment about the chances of the would-be club becoming recognized officially because he said he wasn't sure if all of the criteria to form a club had been met.
Diebole said that the club would charge members no fees for the rest of this year but that next year, members would have to pay a day to join the club. The amount has not yet been decided.
Lydon said that he and some friends had tried to form a club last year and the year before, but they were not successful.

The Kansas men's golf team, playing without two of its top three players, finished sixth of fifteen teams Sunday at the Birkdale Collegiate Classic in Charlotte, N.C.
Kansas shot a 295 in the final round and ended with a total of 906. 15 strokes behind second-place schools Tulsa University and Virginia Commonwealth.
Columbus State University won the tournament with an 11-overpar 875.
Junior Chris Thompson, who is
ranked fifth nationally, kept his streak of seven consecutive top-10 finishes alive by placing third.
Thompson's score of 217 was four shots behind tournament champion Jon Drewery of Columbus State.
Coach Ross Randall said Thompson was on an amazing streak.
"He is definitely All-American caliber." Randall said.
Senior Brad Barnett also had a good Sunday round. He shot a 1-over-par 73.
Ryan Vermeer and Brad Davis, who have the second- and thirdbest scoring averages for the Jay
hawks this season, stayed at home for this tournament.
Randall said he had wanted to give other golfers the chance to gain tournament experience.
The Jayhawks will compete at full strength in two tournaments during Spring Break.
The team will play at the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate from March 25 to 26 in Santa Barbara, Calif., and at the Border Olympics from March 28 to 29 in Laredo, Texas.
The women's golf team also finished its tournament Sunday but placed 12th out of 14 schools at the
Betsy Rawls Longhorn Classic in Austin, Texas.
The women shot rounds of 340-331-333, finishing with a total of 1004, ahead of Southern Methodist University and Kansas State. North Carolina won the team championship with a 918.
Kansas was led by freshman Jamie Tucker who finished in 21st place. Her final-round score of 76 put her at a three-round total of 237.
The finish marks Tucker's sixth top-25 finish in eight career events.
The women's team competes next in the Dixie Classic from April 5 to 7 in St. George, Utah.

In response to Harley Ratliff's column in yesterday's Kansas, which suggested that Kansas men's basketball coach Roy Williams should be nicknamed "Mr. Regular Season."
— Sports Editor's note: The Kansan's staff found an anonymous piece of feedback yesterday on the floor in Wescoe Hall: a sports section with Rattiff the mug shot scribbled out in ink.
I commend Mr.Ratliff on his Monday article on Kansas basketball. He stated the facts and got right to the point. Bottom line: KU choked once again!!
For one more year, we get to listen to all the Catbackers calling KU a bunch of chokers. They are right. We can't argue with them.
Now, we get to look forward to football season!! Yeh! Can we win five games again? I doubt it.

I swear, I'm tired of everyone ripping on KU basketball. I've lived here for 19 years. I saw the chaos of the '88 championship, the tears from the '91 and '93 upsets and all of the "close ones" that everyone pondered about after each game thereafter.
True, the "Big Game on one day was played horribly..but hearing immediately after how badly "they choked" isn't the way to go. What angers me the most is how a week ago, everyone (including members of your
staF) was talking about how great WE were and how unstopable WE are. Now, all you hear is how terrible THEY did and THEY let all of us down. Why is it that a majority of the student body jumped off the bandwagon and became fair-weather fans? If you are going to be there for a team, either do it 110 percent or not at all!
The entire campus is in a state of mourning because of the untimely end of our postseason.

But why?
But why?
Is it because most of us lost money in our private pools? Is it because we had big plans for the next game party? Or is it because we all wanted those bragging rights because we have a great team?
I think a vast majority of people aren't taking into consideration the condition of our boys.
We're all walking around mad and upset at them, but in reality how do you think they feel? Hell, Roy could barely speak to the press because he was so upset.
press because he was so upset. It is good to know, however, that some people are able to look past that and support our team after what they've gone through.
The last thing they need is pple ripping on them for how bad they played, Trust me, they know. In fact, they know more than any of you will ever know!

I really resent your comments about the men's basketball team. Why is it that everyone has to be so selfish. Yes, the Jayhawks didn't go as far as they could or should have, but who are we to complain?

in response to the photo on the front page of yesterday's Kansan, which featured a dejected Lester Earl sitting in the Kansas locker room next to... what's that? A urinal.:
I found this picture especially amusing... the juxtaposition of Lester and the urinal... well, is that some kind of hidden metaphor for Kansas Basketball? No, really.
Usually, sports photographers try to exclude that sort of thing from their photographs... and did you know that nowadays you can digitally alter photographs to take out things that *might* be offensive to people?
I'm not saying that I'm offended, or even that urinals are offensive... I just thought it was amusing, and pointing out something that in the future you might want to consider *not* putting on the front page of the paper.

K-State's Snyder thinks Bishop was falsely jailed
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN, Kan. — Kansas State quarterback Michael Bishop, who was arrested but not charged following a fight, may have been jailed just because he's a prominent Black athlete, coach Bill Snyder said.
Bishop's arrest during the fight last month in Manhattan's night club district may have resulted from Bishop being a high-profile young guy, and unfortunately, because he is Black, Snyder told The Manhattan Mercury in a story published Sunday.
C
Snyder said he thought
Bishop was wrongly identified by witnesses as being involved in the fight. He said Bishop had been emotionally hurt by the incident and that he had to obtain an emergency student loan to pay his legal expenses.
Bishop also has received critical letters from the public and was reprimanded by a woman at a mall for his alleged wrongdoing.
A
"He's suffered from this," Snyder said.
Snyder made the comments to The Mercury on Friday after the newspaper contacted him for comment about another story.
snyder: Says his quarterback was unuily injured.
Bishop told the newspaper he thought the media had treated him unfairly, but he declined to comment further.
Bishop, 21, was arrested Feb. 22 on suspicion of two counts of aggravated battery and one count of battery stemming from an early morning brawl.
But prosecutors later said there was no evidence Bishop had committed a crime and declined to file charges.
Also, two of the three people who filed battery reports against Bishop said publicly that he was not the person who had hit them. One of the men said Bishop helped him up on the ground, and a young woman said Bishop protected her from the fight.
Riley County Police Department Director Al Johnson said his officers handled the case just like every other one, and that they showed neither favoritism nor animosity toward Bishop because of who he was.
Snyder said he did not fault police and attributed the arrest to unfortunate circumstances.
Johnson said such presentations are routine in high-profile cases; Snyder said he had been to the police department to review cases involving his players before
Snyder uses the information he gathers to decide about discipline of his players and to warn them about situations they should avoid.
"Michael Bishop was not guilty of a thing." Snyder said. "He attempted to help other people. Michael helped one of the people involved in the altercation."
Bishop led the Wildcats to an 11-1 record last season, his first at Kansas State after two years in junior college. He passed for four touchdowns and scored another in the 55-18 Fiesta Battle of Syracuse.
Rams fever spreads in Rhode Island
SOUTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. — The school from the smallest state pulled off the biggest upset of the NCAA tournament and now faces the most unlikely team left in the round of 16.
The Associated Press
Rhode Island knocked off top-seeded Kansas 80-75 Sunday in the second round of the tournament, setting up an intriguing match with Valbariso.
Rhode Island coach Jim Harrick will face his son, Jim Jr., an assistant at Valparaiso. The Crusaders, the 13th seed, have their own father-son story. Coach Homer Drew's son Bryce, who hit the buzer-bezing three-pointer to knock off Mississippi in the first round, is the star player for the Crusaders.
"It will be an emotional game," Harrick Sr. said. "But once the ball goes up, you are not thinking about who you are playing. You are just thinking about how you are playing. There are no friendships. All bets are off once you step on the court."
Some of Harrick's players said Sunday's win was redemption for their coach. Harrick is in his first year at Rhode Island after being fired as coach at UCLA in a scandal about an expense account one year after winning the NCAA championship.
"He's proved he could do it before," said forward John Bennett. "Now he is getting a second chance."
But Harrick said he wasn't thinking about vindication in the game with Kansas.
"I have turned the page; that chapter is over." Harrick said of his tenure at UCLA. "I know who I am. I've put that behind me. I've learned
The regular season did not go as smoothly as the first weekend of the tournament did. The Rams (23-8) started the season in the top 25 but dropped out by the end of the season. They came into the tournament as the No. 8 seed in the Midwest.
a lot from that trauma. What do I have to complain about now?"
"This is the most improved basketball team I have ever coached," Harrick said. "There is no doubt in my mind that we can go all the way."
But there were questions before playing Kansas (35-3), the team that had won 14 straight games and led the nation in victories. The Jayhawks have reached the Final Four 10 times, Rhode Island has been to the round of 16 just twice.
But the Rams responded Sunday in Oklahoma City behind Cuttino Mobley, Tyson Wheeler and Luther Clay, who scored 14 points against Kansas All-American center Raef LaFrentz.
"We played very hard and I think we wanted it more," said Wheeler, who scored 20 points against Kansas. "Everyone had their doubts, but we just kept fighting and proved them wrong."
Many Rhode Island students, who doubted their team's chances against Kansas, are now believers. Hundreds of followers greeted the Rams at the airport at 3 a.m. yesterday and now are planning trips to St. Louis for the regional.
"Everybody is talking about it," said Dean Copans, the student body president. "It's been a little crazy. Everybody thought they were going to get knocked out, but they came through."

Valparaiso provides Cinderella story

The Associated Press
VALPARAISO, Ind. — This is the kind of place where everyone knows the basketball players by their first names.
"If you've ever talked to Bryce," said the clerk in the printing shop, "he's the nicest guy you could ever meet."
It's the kind of place that anyone who's ever dribbed a basketball in their back yard is embracing as their very own — at least for this week.
This is the home of Valparaiso University, the tiny school (3,500 students) in northwest Indiana with a feel-god father-son story that's the talk of the NCAA Tournament.
It started Friday when Bryce Drew, son of coach Homer Drew, hit a three-pointer at the buzzer to upset Ole Miss in the opening round. On Sunday, the Crusaders beat Florida State in overtime.
And thus began their magical run toward the regional semifinals. Now the whole country is tagging along.
"People didn't even know who Valparaiso was," said Jamie Sykes, whose three-quarter court pass set up Drew's game-winning shot Friday.
Before we go any further, it's Val-puh-RAISE-
oh. not Val-puh-RISE-oh.
And if you can't imagine this team winning it all, think back to the movie Hoosiers, with Homer Drew as Gene Hackman and Bryce as Jimmy Chitwool. Against all odds, Hackman coaches Hickory High to the state championship.
"It's about a small school having a dream," Bryce Drew said at yesterday afternoon's raucous pen rally for the team.
He knows something about having a dream. As
the 1994 Mr. Basketball in a state where basketball is practically a religion, he could have gone anywhere. Big-time schools like Stanford and Syracuse came calling.
So did his dad. And it just so happened that Bryce wanted to play in an NCAA Tournament with his father on the bench. He also wanted to hit the game-winning shot that he'd been practicing in the back yard all his life and make a small school famous.
So he gave up the big names and the television time — the Mid-Continent Conference isn't exactly a big draw — and stayed in a place where loyalty and good deeds never go unrewarded.
"It's nice to see them have some success," said Eric McMullan, a clerk at BRQ Quickprint near the town's main square.
The players mingle in town like any other students, though they're more than happy to sign autographs.
"They're just regular guys, just like the guys you went to school with," said Lee Kleist, sales manager at B&E Honda, across the street from campus.
When the word got out that the players were returning to the Athletics-Recreation Center, or "The Arc" as its called, more than 1,500 people were there to greet them.
Even though the bus was almost two hours late, it took five minutes to clear the crowd and get the door open. As the players got off, they slapped hands with anyone who could get a hand near them.
The Valparaiso fans especially love Coach Drew, who gets teary-eyed anytime someone asks him about how special it's been to coach his son. One fan even carried a sign that read, "Bobby who? Gene What?" Homer for President."

(USPS 650-640)
Coca-Cola pours deal into greek houses

Coca-Cola is moving closer to dominating Lawrence's soft drink market.
After signing an exclusive agreement requiring the University to sell only Coca-Cola products in all campus vending machines, the soft drink giant has begun targeting greek houses around campus.
In return for exclusively selling its products, Coca-Cola is offering to provide new vending equipment and recycling bins, to restock machines and to keep the change current for fraternities and sororities that sign on, said Kevin Morris, Coca-Cola media representative.
"We're interested in becoming a part of every aspect of the University community." Morris said.
Coca-Cola agreed to give each chapter a percentage of the profits from each machine. Each chapter probably will receive
Not only is Coca-Cola kicking back a portion of the profits to the houses, but it plans to help with future Greek projects, said Lung Huang. Interfraternity Council vice president for public relations and Goodland junior.
between $500 and $1,000 per year,
Morris said.
Morris said that although Coca-Cola had not been informed of any specific projects, the company would, in some way, be involved.
"There have been discussions relating to supporting some IFC projects," he said.
Although Coke will provide recycling bins, it will be up to the chapters to take care of recycling.
Huang said that the Greek Environmental Board had been working on a plan to collect cans and take them to the recycling center at Wal-Mart, 3300 Iowa St. All of the proceeds from recycling would be donated to charity to help children with mental disabilities. Huang said.
sorority president and Overland Park junior, said that her chapter signed with Coca-Cola before the push to sign everyone began.
"We've always had Coke," she said. "It's the same program. I just think they are trying to publicize it and get everyone."
Vette said that the sorority had been pleased with Coca-Cola and that the vendor had been reliable about keeping the machines stocked.
Nicole Vette, Kappa Delta
Huang said that this deal was better than what most Greek communities usually received. He said that the program was voluntary and that all but eight chapters had signed up so far.
"It's a good program because it gives something back to the house," she said.
Many of those chapters still are sorting through the details of their current contracts, some of which do not allow them to make any money from soft drink concessions, he said.
Karen Isley, Sylvania, Ohio,
junior and Panhellenic Association
vice president for public
relations, said that IFC and Pan-hellenic had been encouraging everyone to sign on with Coke.
"They're going to help us do a lot," she said.
Each chapter will be able to decide what products they will carry, from juice to Coke, in bottles or cans.
Huang said that most houses have opted for cans to make recycling easier.
When he originally was discussing the deal, Huang said that he called around to see what kinds of deals other groups had made.
Morris would not comment on whether Coca-Cola was pursuing deals with other universities.
"That's not to say that is not taking place," he said.
Lawrence police say area parties not boisterous
Huang said he called the University of Nebraska, whose Greek system had signed a deal with Pepsi. Each chapter there receives $100 per year from Pepsi for its philanthropy efforts, he said.
"This is something nice that Coke is doing for us," Huang said.

In the wake of a party that resulted in more than $100,000 in damage to a Leawood house two weeks ago, Lawrence police are considering whether there is a need to control local neighborhood parties.
The Leawood party was dispersed by police. Since the incident, Leawood police have received numerous complaints from residents who want police to crack down on large neighborhood parties, said Det. Sgt. Craig Hill of the Leawood Police Department
"Law enforcement has been given tremendous responsibilities regarding house parties, but we can't meet all of them. We don't drive around looking for parties." Hill said.
Officer Mike Monroe of the Lawrence Police Department said that Lawrence keg parties rarely caused serious damage to the houses in which they were thrown and that police did not need to get involved in most of them.
Monroe said that most house parties did not result in serious damage and that residents who were caught throwing key parties usually received a notice to appear in court.
"Under normal circumstances, we have to have a complaint, such as noise or parking problems," Monroe said. "Contrary to what most students think, we don't just go beating down doors at parties to bust people."
Some University of Kansas students said they were surprised that neighborhood house parties did not draw much attention from police.
"We're in an area with a lot of students," he said, "so they usually don't make complaints because they kind of expect the party atmosphere."
"A lot of people are students, and they forget that some of their neighbors aren't students," he said. "That's usually who we get complaints from."
Ryan Randolph, Colby senior, said that police did not break up many parties in his neighborhood.
Monroe said most complaints usually were generated from areas where both students and non-students lived.
Hill said that it was wise for a party host to plan a party in a neighborhood containing only a few occupants.
"We know about a lot of parties that happen in fields or in homes pushed way back from the road," he said. "Those usually don't draw complaints. We will go in there and check things out if we suspect something serious is going on, though."
Monroe said that communicating with neighbors was the best way for students to avoid conflict.
"The key is to just let your neighbors know you're having a party, and they usually won't complain," he said.
Hops, long used by brewers to flavor beer, may hold the key to fighting cancer. Preliminary research at Oregon State University treated cancerous cells with flavonoids compounds found in hops. Results indicate flavonoids might be a new weapon in the war against cancer.

Hops may counter cancer, but drinking beer is no cure

Many students may try to medicate their minds with beer, but they may be helping their bodies fight cancer recent research suggests.
"I wouldn't encourage people to drink more," Buhlier said. "We haven't tested them in animals yet, but things look encouraging so far."
Researchers at Oregon State University in Corvallis, Ore., have conducted experiments combining cancerous human breast and colon cells with compounds called flavonoids. Flavonoids are found in hops, a green plant that is commonly used in the brewing process for beer. Preliminary experiment results
Buhler said that there was strong evidence that the flavonoids were active in countering the processes by which cancer cells became activated and toxic.

vation of the cancer process.
Buhler said that if the study was conclusive and validated, flavonoid compounds in hops could be harvested on a large scale and could be used to treat and prevent cancer. However, Buhler said he wanted to be cautious in his predictions.
Buhler said that researchers did not understand completely how the flavonoids were fighting cancer and that further tests on lab mice were essential to determine what was occurring
The results of Buhl's research were reported in Seattle at the annual
"The P450 enzyme converts non-carcinogenic substances into carcinogenic substances," Sullivan said. "Flavonoids have been shown to have an effect on P450."
Debra Sullivan, professor of dietetics and nutrition at the University of Kansas Medical Center, said that an enzyme called cytochrome P450 contributed to the acti-

Buhler said that people would not necessarily be able to drink beer to prevent cancer because the flavonoids most likely would have to be concentrated into a pill before consumption. "It could be effective by ingesting them through beer, but the problem is with the levels of concentration," Buhler said. "There's probably not enough in most beer, but it depends upon the brewing process."
Chuck Magerl, owner of Free State Brewery, said that hops were used in brewing to enhance the taste and
aroma of beer and that concentrations of hops differed for different types of beer. Magerl said strong ales and stout beers often used the most hops.
sullivan said she would not recommend that people add more beer to their diets in order to take advantage of the possible benefits of flavonoids.
"Flavonoids are common in all plants," Sullivan said. "You'd be better off getting them from fruits and vegetables rather than beer."

KU students hope to return to office jobs by early April
After losing their jobs less than a week ago, forty student employees at the University of Kansas may return to work at the Survey Research Center.
The Institute for Public Policy and Business Research expects to reopen the research center the week after spring break.
Sarah Page, Prairie Village senior and former research center employee, received a call about 8 p.m. March 10 concerning a mandatory meeting the next evening.
The students have been jobless since March 11 following a KU Public Safety Office investigation of the embezzlement of more than $1,000 and the attempted suicide of an employee in the Fraser Hall office.
The center's four student supervisors informed the employees at the meeting that they were out of jobs and that the center was closed undefinitely. Page said.
She said that the students were not given any notice before losing their jobs.
Kathryn Clark, University Relations spokeswoman, said that Charles Krider, the director of the institute, appreciated the students' past work and hoped that they would work for the center again.
"Dr. Krider did send out a memo Monday to all the survey center employees and indicated his intentions to reopen the lab," she said.
Students should call the institute if they are interested in getting their jobs back, she said.
Page, who had not received Krider's memo, said that she had enjoyed working at the research center and that the job had paid well.
"I would be more than willing to go back there." she said.
The embezzlement investigation began March 3 when a student employee told police that additional hours were being added to several students' timesheets. When the students received their paychecks, they cashed them and gave the extra money back to their supervisor.
A supervisor, who no longer is working at the research center, is a suspect in the embezzlement, the public safety office said.
The Douglas County District Attorney's Office is reviewing the case. No charges have been filed.

Last week, police responded to a 911 call from the research center. Police found a research center employee with self-inflicted cuts on the left wrist. The employee was admitted to Parkview Hospital in Topeka.

A Murphy Hall theft this weekend left two University of Kansas students without their musical instruments.
The students' oboes, cases, a tuner, a metronome and other items were stolen from 541 Murphy Hall between 2 p.m. Saturday and 8:30 a.m. Monday, the KU Public Safety Office said. The items were valued at $10,100.
Officer Burdel Welsh said that there was no sign of forced entry and that a key may have been used to enter the room. The room was unlocked when the thefts were discovered.
Kelly Fishel, Derby sophomore, said she had kept her oboe in the room for the past two years and never had any problems.
She is borrowing an oboe to play in the Symphonic Band.
"I'm holding out hope that it will be found," Fishel said.

Great American Meatout to honor vegetarianism
The Great American Meatout will attempt tomorrow to show the advantages of a vegetarian life.
The annual national observance will be celebrated locally at 7 tonight at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave. The event, sponsored by Proponents of Animal Liberation, will include a vegetarian meal and a discussion about vegetarianism.
Michael Schmitt, PAL president and Lawrence graduate student, said the event's purpose was to celebrate and raise awareness about vegetarianism.
"We hope to have everyone come out and have a nice vegetarian meal and learn about vegetarianism." Schmitt said.
Although PAL will be taking donations to cover the cost of the event, Schmitt said that the dinner was open to the public and that the meal would be free. Community Mercantile and several other local businesses have donated food for the event.

Convicts attempt escape through jail shower area
Two men arrested for allegedly kidnapping two Douglases County residents in Janu
arried attempt to escape from Douglas County Jail, Sheriff Loren C. Anderson said
Anderson said David Cox's and Kipling Johnson's escape attempt was discovered at 10:30 a.m. Monday when the Sheriff's Department checked their cells and showered.
He said Cox and Johnson tried to file through sheet metal plates in the ceiling of the shower area in their cell block with an angle iron from a shower stall. He said they had succeeded only in loosening a few of the plates.
The department had not determined when the escape attempt began. When the inmates finished with the angle iron, they were able to put it back in its place, Anderson said.
"After cutting through a plate in the ceiling, they would hold it in place with toothpaste and hair gel," Anderson said.
"You couldn't see that it was missing," he said.
Anderson said both men had histories of attempted escapes from other Kansas jails, and the Douglas County Jail had been paying special attention to them.
"We knew they had that in mind." Anderson said, "so we knew we'd better stay on our toes or we'd be in trouble."
Anderson said the space above the shower's ceiling was empty and would not have been a possible route of escape.
"They could have gotten out through the
ceiling, but they still would have been in the secure area of the jail." Anders said.
—Ronnie Wachter
He said the only possible escape route was through the jail's front door.
Americans moving South, Census Bureau report says
WASHINGTON—Still heading toward the sun, Americans on the move and new immigrants are raising population totals in Arizona, California, Nevada and Texas, the Census Bureau says. The count, focusing on the nation's counties, also shows people moving in increasing numbers into the rings of suburbs surrounding big cities.
Mirroring conclusions reached at kitchen tables and in the boardrooms of corporate America, the historic trek continued last year from East and North to South and West. Nationwide, the largest county increase occurred near Denver in Douglas County, which experienced 12.9 percent growth from 1996 to 1997.
The moves left demographic maps of counties in many metropolitan areas looking like doughnuts, thinner in the central core and denser in surrounding counties. The Census Bureau cited Minneapolis-St. Paul, Atlanta, Nashville, Dallas-Fort Worth, and San Antonio as examples of this suburban migration.

Execution debate raises questions after capital trial
By Gerry Doyle and Brandon Copley
gdoyle@kansan.com
bcopley@kansan.com
Kansan staff writers
Gary Kleypas has been sentenced to die, but the debate surrounding his execution has not.
Holcombe said his objections to capital punishment centered on three points: whether the state had a right to kill someone, whether the death penalty would demean or enhance society and whether the death penalty was the best way to express condemnation of murder.
Kleypas, who was convicted of the 1996 murder of Pittsburg State University student Carrie Williams, was sentenced to death March 11 in a Crawford county courtroom. He would be the first person executed in Kansas in 33 years.
But Thad Holcombe, a member of the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice, said that although Kleypas was found guilty of murder, the death penalty would not make up for his crime.
"I had hoped they wouldn't, but it didn't surprise me," he said. "There's value in all of human life. We shouldn't demean ourselves and say that there are those that are less than human by exterminating them. Because that's what we're doing—exterminating them."
Holcombe said that the sentence was not unexpected.
Bryan Larkin, Lyndon Junior, disagreed. Larkin said that the act of killing someone warranted special punishment.
Larkin said that giving Kleypas the death penalty was the right thing to do.
"I't an eye for an eye," he said. "It's the only fair punishment for someone who killed somebody."
David Gottlieb, professor of law, said that the jury decided the sentence and that the judge only approved it. Gottlieb said that once a sentence was handed down by the jury, it was unusual for a judge to overrule it.
"If the jury recommended it, the likelihood to overturn is very remote," he said. "There's no specific standard for overturning a sentence. It could be something like a jury misreading evidence."
Jeff Moots, one of Kleypas' trial lawyers and a part of the State of Kansas Death Penalty Defense Unit, said that his client qualified for the death penalty because it was a premeditated homicide that involved a violent sex crime. Moots said that the ruling probably would be challenged on multiple points.
"The appeals all are linked to a violation of constitutional rights," he said. "There are questions about his mental abilities, about jury instructions, about a blank search warrant being issued. There are 170 to 180 legal issues to be considered here."

Local musician strikes chord
Brewery regular helps to draw loyal following
Just give Ted Connelly a guitar, a chair and a place to play and let him do the rest.

"I wrote it as a joke," he said. "I don't know if it's pronounced correctly or not."
Connely's favorite song, "Spinning," is a story about a rock star on a carnival ride. In the song, he talks about the similarities between a carnival worker and a rock star.
"It's a parallel between having someone captive in the ride and having a captive audience," he said. "I am the boy and the carnival worker."
Connelly said he planned to add drummer David Rvan to his set.
Ryan, Lawrence graduate, said the two would play together.
"I totally see that it's Ted's gig," he said. "I think he fits into the songwriting tradition of Lawrence."
Connelly said that adding another person to his set would not change the way he played.

"It will add some texture, but the freedom will still be there," he said. Ryan and Connelly already have played together on Connelly's demo tape.

Watkins' community legacy endures
By Lisa Stevens John
ljohn@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Through this century, the Lawrence medical community has taken giant strides. Much of this progress was achieved because of the help of one woman — Elizabeth Watkins.
Watkins knew of the dilapidation of Lawrence Memorial Hospital, a converted frame house at Third and Maine streets that had served as a hospital since 1921.
Local officials had done everything they could to make the hospital safe, but it still was termed a firetrap.
Early Lawrence mayor and former hospital board member Robert C. Rankin wrote that he was surprised when Watkins offered to give $200,000 for the construction of a new hospital.
it is not possible for me to describe my feelings when Mrs. Elizabeth Watkins came in." Rankin wrote. "She sat down and
informed me that she had come to offer to give the money to build a new hospital. I almost fell out of my chair."
A visionary in the field of health, Watkins' words still ring true.
"I feel that the future success of yourselves, as well as the future prosperity of the state, depends to a considerable extent on the proper care of your health," she said.
The new Lawrence Memorial Hospital opened Sept. 22, 1929. It was described as fireproof and modern in every respect. It had 52 beds. The first baby born there, on Sept. 27, was named Elizabeth in Watkins' honor.
Today, Lawrence Memorial Hospital has grown to 167 beds. A kidney dialysis clinic is located on the hospital grounds.
The hospital includes an intensive care unit, maternity care unit, a cardiac catheterization lab, emergency department, surgical suites, a one-day surgical unit, nuclear medicine, a CT scanner and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
capabilities.
The medical staff of Lawrence Memorial Hospital has more than 120 physicians.
Belinda Rehmer, public relations assistant in the hospital's community relations department, said the name of the hospital's first benefactress still is remembered.
"Our employee orientation includes a video that tells the history of Lawrence Memorial. It focuses on Elizabeth Watkins and explains that she donated the money to build the first hospital building." she said.
When Watkins donated the funds for the hospital building, she said she was following the wishes of her late husband, Jabez B. Watkins, a Lawrence businessman and banker who died in 1924.
Her generosity extended to the University of Kansas with the construction of Miller and Watkins Scholarship Halls, Watkins Memorial Hospital and a nurses' home. Upon her death, she bequeathed her home to be used as the chancellor's residence.
"The citizens of Lawrence owe a great debt of gratitude to Elizabeth Watkins."
Lawrence memorial Hospital CEO
Gene Mayer
Even today, her name lives on.
Even today, her name is "The citizens of Lawrence owe a great debt of gratitude to Elizabeth Watkins," said Gene Meyer, CEO and president of Lawrence Memorial Hospital. "Her generosity provided this community a first-rate hospital facility for its time. That's a legacy we are committed to upholding today and for the future."

Good intentions behind minority groups' Senate seats, but bad idea
Student Senate should not provide seats for minority student organizations.
Annie stollman student union A bill that will be considered tonight would add new seats for Black Student Union, Hispanic-American Leadership Organization and Native American Student Association. Although the intentions of the bill are good, the ramifications won't be. There are many minority student organizations at the University of Kansas, but only three are being offered seats with this bill. The bill's sponsors want to add the Asian American Student Union to the bill, but where should Senate draw the line as to which organizations are allotted Senate seats?
able whether any student organization that receives funds from Senate should be granted its own seat. True, most senators are involved in campus organizations, but most of them have been elected by students who live in similar housing or who are in the same academic school.
Should every minority organization be given a seat? That would create a large group of unelected senators who would make decisions for the students at the University. Also, it is ethically question-
are in the student organization. Giving seats to students simply because they are in certain organizations is a bad idea. If we gave seats to every student organization on campus, Senate would become even more divided than it is already. The body would degenerate into a battle for student money where the needs of the entire student population would not be considered.
Minority students should have seats on Senate. But they should run for them or apply for replacement senator positions, as others must do to win a seat. They should take the initiative to run for Senate or apply for a Senate committee. If minority students are not senators, they should tell their representatives, minority or otherwise, what they want. If legislation that may affect them is being considered in Senate, minority students should go to the meetings and make their presence and views known.
presence and views who At the beginning of each meeting Senate has open forum, during which any student may speak, so long as Mike Walden, student body vice president, has been informed beforehand. Minority students, and all KU students, should use this forum for their views.
There are not enough minority students on Senate. They are not adequately represented by their senators. But to change this, they must get involved and take the initiative, not just take a seat that has been given to them.

HIV list bill should not be passed
The Kansas legislature is considering a bill that would name individuals with HIV. This bill would overreach the bounds of governmental power and should not be passed.
Under the measure, anyone who tests positive for HIV would no longer be allowed to remain anonymous. The considered measure, Senate Bill 545, would require physicians, health departments and social service agencies that do HIV testing to use names when reporting results to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
Currently, the number of HIV-positive people is reported, but names are withheld to preserve anonymity. The measure was attached to an emergency funding bill for a program that provides AIDS patients with drugs.
The legislature should not implement a system that would unfairly single out individuals with HIV. The Health Department does not have a right to this information, and allowing the department access to it would be a violation of HIV patients' privacy.
HIV patterns The effects of this could be devastating. The information easily could leak out as it is passed around.
KDHE spokesman Don Brown said that if the new measure passed, safeguards would be put in place to ensure that the names remained anonymous and were not leaked to the public. The problem is, those safeguards have not yet been outlined or thoroughly discussed. Some states have effective systems that use complicated 10-digit codes combining birth dates and snippets of
Social Security numbers with random numbers. But there is no assurance that a system like this would be used.
a system like this that helps Giving the health agency access without having a system to ensure that those names don't get out is dangerous.
If people think that their names are not protected, they may think twice before getting tested. That would be dangerous for everyone. Also, while it is important for health departments to keep on top of diseases, government agencies have few legitimate reasons to collect the names of HIV-positive people.
At the very least the bill should have a safeguard that would protect HIV patients from public exposure.
However, if the legislature wants to do the right thing for Kansans, it should abandon the bill entirely.

Radar's life became complicated when he took a vacation to our grandparents' farm and had his eye clawed out by a large Doberman named Bear. We rushed Radar to the vet, but it was too late. One eye was irreparably damaged. The one-eyed Lapso followed me to school every day, and even would walk extra far to bite the toothless, drooling bad kids on the playground.
first dog we ever had was Radar, an all-white Lapso we got for Christmas. We named him Radar because of his knack for hunting rabbits, as if he had a radar built in his head. Radar was a strange dog that chewed on an orange supper dish all day, until my father ran over this supper dish with his car.
Radar mysteriously died seven years later. I remember that night so vividly, I can taste it. I was in the bathroom, reading a G.I. Joe comic book. My brother, Chris, was in our room, watching *Circus of the Stars*. Tina Yothers was walking the high wire with Ricky Schroeder. Then we heard a yelp, looked down the stairs and saw Radar lying in a heap at the feet of our little 6-year-old sister Ashley. We screamed. What had happened? Radar was dead and the only one to witness his death was our red-headed sister. We always had suspected she had an evil agenda, but we never thought she would kill Radar.
that night in our backyard, in the middle of a raging thunderstorm. We marked his grave with a plastic dinosaur.
For Christmas we got two new dogs — little Lapso pups named Bo and Toby. Bo still frolics to this day, but Toby is another story entirely. Toby added another Christmas memory when he bit my sister's nose and we had to rush her to the emergency room so they could stitch the shnoz up. We had had enough. Toby's evil reign had to end. We got in the giving spirit and gave the flesheating Toby to the vet to be terminated. But mom couldn't pull the trigger, so we just got him neutered, which was supposed to lower his testosterone levels and keep him from biting. He grew into an obese and lazy creature. So obese that one night the poor doomed canine lost his balance and fell into our pool. Since teaching chubby dogs how swim is not a Keith family specialty, Toby drowned that cruel night. Only recently has the information surfaced that my brother and his friends put beer in Toby's dish and he was drunk the night he fell into our pool.
It had been a family secret that Ashley had been trying to dress Radar in a baby doll dress, and he tried to run but tripped and fell, breaking his neck. We buried Radar
Then there was the time I eliminated a canine when I was in fourth grade. Our neighbors were going on vacation and asked me to take care of their hyperactive Cocker Spaniel named Cuddles. I did not like Cuddles very much, but I never planned on killing him. It just happened. It was a normal summer day and I went across the street to clean up Cuddles messes he'd made in the basement. I let Cuddles out into the fenced in backyard to frolic while I cleaned. I finished up and went outside to let Cuddles back in, and I was shocked to see that the backyard gate was wide open. Cuddles was gone. Cuddles was one of those dogs that once they start running, they never stop. But Cuddles stopped — after he ran onto a busy highway and was run over by a tennis player in a LeSabre. Surprisingly, Cuddles owners weren't that upset. They even paid me 25 bucks. After that day, my family called me D.K., which happen to be my initials, but stand for Dog Killer.
Three dogs were sent to the hereafter by the people who are supposed to protect them. Rest in peace, Cuddles. Say "woof" to Radar and Toby for me.
Keith is a Stanley freshman in Illustration. We hope he'll invest in a pet rock.

As I walked across campus today, I couldn't help but hear the passing conversations about the game and how bad it was. It sounded like the consensus was that the men's basketball team sucks. Well just hold on a minute. How in the world can 35-4 suck? I don't think so. We have gotten so that we expect perfection from the team. Yeah, it is totally annoying that the team didn't make it any farther than they did, but, have we all completely forgotten who we are talking about? This is a team that won the Big 12 title. Doesn't that mean anything? I don't think that it means we are invincible. We definitely would like to think that, but we're not. Roy Williams and the Kansas

They need to know that we are still incredibly proud of their talent and expertise. How can we ask for a better group of people to represent our school? This is not Kansas State, where winning a game is a milestone. So come on. Realize that Sunday's game is something we all would like to forget, and remember that this team is amazing. We all should tip our hats to them, not complain about them not being perfect. I would like to thank Roy Williams and the team for the incredible season they gave us and give them my sympathies for the loss.

Perhaps the Derby freshman who came out during Saturday's performance and asked the protesters "Aren't you being a little ungrateful?" said it best.
I agree completely with Matt Bachand's column in The University Daily Kansan on Monday, which discusses the class-based and class-reinforcing nature of such "charitable" organizations as the Rock Chalk Revue. Unfortunately, Bachand's point is almost completely lost in his stilted and convoluted language.

America oppresses, speaker says
By Chris Horton
chorton@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
In the 18 years Constancio Pinto lived in East Timor during its Indonesian occupation, he experienced the iron grip of imperialism firsthand.
Pinto, East Timor's representative to the United Nations, spoke to about 100 students in the Kansas Union last night, where he addressed Indonesia's occupation of East Timor and the American support Indonesia has received.
"I think it is important to talk about this because what is happening in East Timor is genocide comparable to the Holocaust." Pinto said.
Indonesia occupied East Timor on Dec. 7, 1975, nine days after East Timor declared independence from Portugal.
Pinto was 12.
"I still remember that morning when my father woke me up and said, 'Wake up — it's war.'" he said.
When Pinto was 15, he was taken to a concentration camp established by the Indonesian army, he said.
"We were given three cups of rice a week, and people were dying from starvation and lack of medication," he said, "I saw faces sliced with razor blades, fingernails and toenails
pulled out and women raped in front of their boyfriends. It was torture."
Indonesia is not alone in the oppression of East Tamil. Pinto said.
"The United States government has supplied almost 90 percent of Indonesia's weapons since 1975," he said.
Pinto said that in 1975 East Timor's population was 750,000, and that between 1975 and 1983 the Indonesian army killed 200,000 East Timorians.
Breeze Luekte-Stahlem, Olathe sophomore, said Pinto's visit should increase student awareness of East Tsimpson's pilgrim.
"A lot of people may have heard this topic for the first time," she said.

City to replace faulty sewer line
By Jeremy M. Doherty jdoherty@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
A plan to fix a faulty sewer line on Mississippi Street got the OK from the Lawrence City Commission last night.
In a unanimous vote, commissioners authorized Mike Wilden, city manager, to hammer out an agreement with local engineering firm Evans Bliery Hutchison and Associates. The firm will perform survey, design and inspection services for a
fee not to exceed $25,000.
The 1,200-foot section of sewer line stretches from 1120 Mississippi St. to the northwest end of the Kansas Union.
Debbie Van Saun, assistant utilities director, prepared the proposal and said construction would begin May 18, following the University of Kansas commencement.
Van Sau caid the problem was noticed in early January. During a routine inspection, city employees detected broken and clogged portions
"It's just not in as good a shape as we'd like it to be," she said. "But it's not like there's raw sewage on the streets, though."
Katherin Steinbacher, project manager with the engineering firm, said that the firm would not be responsible for the sewer line's construction.
Local contractors should begin placing bids on the city's contract in late April or early May, Steinbacher said.
"They're planning an eight-week
construction window, give or take,
depending on the weather," she said
Neither Van Saun nor Steinbacher were certain if the project would require closing Mississippi Street or what the final cost would be.
Steinbacher said that her team would do its best to accommodate the University.
"We wouldn't want that street to get torn up during student activities," she said. "It makes it easier for the students, and there's less traffic at that time."

SENATE
Senate may add minority seats
Three organizations would be represented
By Melissa Ngo
mngo@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
Minority representation in Student Senate will increase if Senate passes a bill tonight to add three seats.
Senate will vote on a bill to add seats for Black Student Union, Native American Student Association and Hispanic American Leadership Organization at 6:30 p.m. at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union.
Dion Jones, holdover senator and the bill's sponsor, said he wrote the bill to guarantee minority representation in Senate. Jones said representatives from all three organizations would attend the meeting.
Rochelle Votam, Liberal Arts and Sciences senator and HALO member, said she supported the bill because it would give more power to minority students.
"There aren't enough students of color on Senate." Votaw said. "It's real easy to be silenced in Senate, especially where the minority students are not in power."
Pat Mazumdar, graduate senator,
said that although he supported the
bill, he still had some questions.
"What is the criteria for giving student groups Senate seats?" Mazumdar asked. "Will the chess club get one next?"
Senate also will discuss three bills created by Student Rights committee to reform Senate committees.
The bills would create a mentorship program for new committee members, a parliamentary procedure workshop and a mock legislation debate.
The bills also would organize committee list-servs and give priority speaking rights to non-senators.
Kevin Yoder, Interfraternity Council senator and Student Rights committee chairman, said he supported the bills.
"Anything we can do to get more students involved in the process and better or lented will make Student Senate more effective." Yoder said.
Senate will debate another committee bill that passed two weeks ago.
Student Body President Scott Sullivan vetored a bill to change Senate committee chairman and vice-chairman elections from the beginning of fall semester to the end of spring semester. After Sullivan speaks about why he vetoed the bill, Senate will vote again on it. Senate must have a two-thirds majority to override the veto.
Senate also will vote on the proposal to use student fees to pay for Union renovations and a bill to change Senate Rules and Regulations to require a majority vote to change rules and regulations.

Commentary
Men's loss helps women's team, but keep it quiet
Marian Washington would never admit it.
She wouldn't let her players ever say it.
And deep down, even if it did cross her mind, she wouldn't listen to it.
But if she considered it for one moment, then she would understand that the best thing to happen to her program since Lynette Woodard was the men's loss on Sunday.
Rhode Island 80. Kansas 75.
For the first time in the history of the University, the women's basketball team is playing basketball and the men are at home.
And as the sting from the men's defeat slowly wears off, people are starting to talk about the other Jayhawk basketball team.
Jim at the gas station is taking notice. "Those ladies are still alive. I hope they win it all."
Jim has never been to a women's basketball game in his life. He didn't even realize there was a women's team.

Neither did Martv. a card carrving mem-
Neither the Martha's Family carrying him ber of the National Rifle Association who thinks that women's sports are just another form of affirmative action. But he's also a Kansas graduate who is taking notice of the women's team.
"Least one of them teams can win." Marty said while sipping on his Bud. "I'll be watching 'em"
You see, people are watching.
The basketball season hasn't ended yet at the University of Kansas. The women ensured that — the men didn't.
There isn't a public relations department around that could have staged a better way to draw attention to the women's team. But Marian won't admit it.
She didn't want to see the men lose. She is as proud of what they accomplished as any other fan. In fact, before the Jayhawks defeated Iowa Sunday night, Marian didn't tell her team about the men's loss.
Marian has been hollering that her team can play ball. She has been agitated that only a handful of people show up for their games.
This is an opportunity the Kansas women's team has been in search of for years.
When All-American and current ABL player Angela Aycock played from 1991-94, people stayed away. When All-American Tamecka Dixon, now in the WNBA, broke down defenses and handed out assists better then Jacque Vaughn, people stayed away.
"Why," community thinking went, "should we watch the women when we have the men?"
But the men are gone. The women are all that remain. And people are taking notice.
The women are headlining the fronts of sports pages, slowly being talked about in offices and even are being noticed by Marty and Jim.
This isn't to take away from the women's tournament victories. This team, which lost four starters and warned at the season's start that above .500 would be a good year, deserves all the credit it gets.
This team has worked hard to get where it is and has a chance to go farther. But the women have been winning for years, and through all that winning, no one noticed.
Now, thanks to a loss, the women are getting the recognition they deserve.

Player's speed causes concern
By Erin Thompson
Kansan sportswriter
The day after Kansas lost a close game to Rhode Island that exposed its lack of speed, Roy Williams offered a scholarship to a local recruit whose
quickness is the most questionable part of his game.
Rod Kirschner, Crider's high school coach. "This is a dream come true for John. "Ever since he was four he wanted to play for Kansas."
BASKETBALL
John Crider, a 6-foot-4 shooting guard from Horton, has committed
verbally to play basketball at Kansas after visiting the campus and speaking with Roy Williams on Monday.
At Horton High School, a Class 3A school in northeast Kansas, Crider shot 32 percent from outside the three-point line and 53 percent from inside. He finished his career with a school record 2,008 points in four years, including 52 points in a single game against McLouth High School.
"This is a great fit for everyone," said
McLouth's coach, Graon Gardner,
said that despite Crider's play against
his team, he questioned whether
Crider had the ability to compete at the
Division I level because he had not
played against tougher competition.
"The possible question in my mind is his quickness," he said. "He didn't have to show his quickness against the competition he played. In Division I he'd better be quick. He's got to play defense against some pretty fast guys.
But I'm sure Roy will teach him how to play defense."
Gardner said Crider's strengths were his ability to shoot from anywhere on the court and his jumping ability.
"He's a pure shooter. There's no question he has the shooting ability to play Division I," he said. "He's a very good jumper. He could leap out of the gym."
Kirschner concurred and said Crider is a top notch athlete.
Gardner said Crider's style and size made him comparable to Kansas shooting guard Ryan Robertson.
"I think if you look at Ryan in high school, Crider would be a carbon copy to him." Gardner said.
"He's a pure shooter.
He's a pure shooter. There's no question he has the shooting ability to play in Division I."
McLouth basketball coach
Graon Gardner
Crider, who grew up in Horton, said he had dreamed of playing for Kansas since it won the NCAA championship in 1988.
Jean Becker, a Horton resident who has known Crider since he entered the first grade with her daughter, said that residents of the town supported his decision and were thrilled for his success.
"I'm delighted to see him play for them," she said. "I'm a big KU fan. It's real nice to see a hometown kid make the big time."

against the Razorbacks, but the game was canceled because the field was soaked.
"We haven't been outside, other than the Hastings game on Sunday, for a while," said Bobby Randall, Kansas baseball coach. "We're just hoping for the weather to clear up soon so we can get into a playing rhythm."
Arkansas, coming off a 36-20 season, is a top-20 team. "We like to play top teams that challenge us to play at a high level," Randall said. "They are traditionally one of the most fundamentally sound teams we face."
Randall said indoor practice could improve individual skills, but it didn't allow for full-squared scrimmages.

Column'srantings open floodgates for ravings
READERS FORUM
In response to Harley Rattliff's column in Monday's Kansan, which suggested that Roy Williams be nicknamed "Mr. Regular Season".
ERIC: Boy, Harley, the fan letters just keep pouring in.
HARLEY. Yep, Eric, I really think that the good people of this campus are starting to warm up to my point of view.
ERIC: Face it, Harley, they hate you and your hat.
HARLEV: My mom hates my hat too. Geez, I hope she doesn't hate me as well.
NCAA curse no reason for heartless column
Dear Harley.
Have you no heart?! Your commentary was unnecessary and unwarranted. The team did choke. They should have trampled Rhode Island.
It does seem as if there is a curse on the Jayhawks and the NCAA as of late, and I do not dispute or disagree with anything you wrote in your article. However, I find it hard to believe that a fellow Jayhawk would turn the knife that is already in the stomachs of all the players and the coaches.
Their heartbreak happened a mere 24 hours ago, and you immediately put your demented mind to work to produce this sarcastic and heartless piece of writing. Don't you think that they feel worse than anyone? Imagine the self-doubt and extreme disappointment that they all must be feeling.
Perhaps you were just doing your job, but morality and ethics fall into every profession. The Kansan could have done without your derogatory and egotistical comments. As well could have I.
Ratliff slights Williams, who has great record
Jamie Tillett
Augusta freshman
I am writing in response to your comment: Should we call Coach Williams "Mr. Regular Season?"
It is absolutely absurd that you would mention such a thing like that to the greatest coach in the game today.
Little do you remember, I guess, that Coach Williams has guided two teams to a Final Four. One of those teams made the final game. Do you remember that?
Or, were you back in Soonerland still living the good old days of Stacy King and Mookie Blaylock?
I think we should all be very thankful that he is here and has yet to bolt for the NBA or another college job. He is what Kansas basketball needed at a time when it was at its lowest of points (probation).
Coach Williams has brought this program from the ashes of probation to the most dominant team in the '90s. So please treat the man who works so hard for this University with the respect he deserves.
I hope you do not tell people in Norman that you are a Jayhawk because obviously you are not.
David Tacha Lawrence junior
Rhode Island's desire carried team to victory
Well, now that everyone is deciding whether or not to be angry or sympathetic toward the Jayhawks, does anyone know why we lost? I do, and I'll tell you why. Because Rhode Island wanted it more than we did, plain and simple. I could tell from the first five minutes that we were in for a possible heartbreaker. I was right. Anyone could have pointed this out. Anyone except the Jayhawks themselves.
Instead, we decided to start trying during the last five or six minutes left in the second half. No wonder we lost. The reason why this tournament is so unpredictable and exciting is because teams like Rhode Island have nothing to lose when they play someone like the Jayhawks. They play with the utmost intensity and eagerness to win for the entire 40 minutes, not the last five or six. Take Valpo, for example. They played great basketball for 40 minutes against Florida State.
were down by two points and
won the game. Why?
Because they wanted it more. Valparaiso has never won an NCAA tournament game in the history of the entire school. On the other hand, we're ranked No. 1, have two All-Americans and one of the best coaches in college basketball, but we lose to whom? Rhode Island. Never heard of them until now.
The point is obvious. Rhode Island wanted it more than we did. What's to be learned from this? It doesn't matter if you're ranked No. 1 or No. 8.
Whether you want it bad enough — that's what counts.

Team left everything on the court for fans
I personally think that you need to re-evaluate your ideas and feelings toward Coach Roy and the rest of the team. Obviously you have never played competitive sports in your life.
Kansas has been the most winning program in the '90s, and every single game night the opposing team is out to knock off the best team in the nation. They are getting everything possible thrown at them. I know the team members put their hearts and souls into this and every single game they have played.
In a tournament, especially the NCAA tournament, it is not a matter of a team choking. Being a No. 1 seed, everyone is out to upset you.
Every night they go out, they put everything on the line and for an insignificant spectator like yourself to destroy the guys like you did makes the most uncredible person on campus. The article which you wrote should not have even been placed in the paper let alone in the mind of a KU student. I think you owe the school, Coach Roy and the entire team an apology for what you have said.
In no way should the guys be ashamed of the record season which they assembled. I am proud to support the Jayhawks, and we need to grieve with them in this loss and support them in the next season. We should be honored to have such great tradition and an amazing team in which to follow. Rock Chalk Jayhawks, Go KU!
Jeff Lightcap Hutchinson sophomore
Players are students too; remarks were insensitive
It was irresponsible and insensitive of Mr. Ratliff to write an article that directly insulted a group of his fellow students and Coach Williams. It was equally irresponsible of the editor of the sports section to print such an article.
Do you think that the players don't read the paper? Mr. Ratlift, place yourself in Coach Williams' position for a moment (not that you would ever deserve such an honor) and think about how you would feel if you came to work and found that some kid on the school newspaper staff called your team "perennial chokers" and called you "Mr. Regular Season" as if to say that you were not even capable of winning big games (which the record shows is not true).
Did you forget that the players are not millionaire athletes but kids? They are students at the University of Kansas just like you and me. It must have been hard enough for them to see big pictures and half-page articles about their loss all over the paper.
They deserve a lot better treatment from their fellow students than to also have to listen to some guy in a dirty hat tell them that they belong "in the tournament's all-time chokers' hall of fame."
I understand that you were just voicing your opinion, which you have the right to do. But you should put some thought into what you write.
As a journalist, it is your right to say what you want, but as a person, it is your responsibility to make sure that you are not unfairly insulting another person.

'Big one' hard to win even for best coaches
How can you let Harley Ratliff even type a word on this Web site? To say that the fans of Kansas are disappointed is an understatement, but to say what he did is downright rude. What has this guy ever done?
If you look back through history, Lute Olson and his team, Arizona, dropped out prematurely five years in a row. Tom Osborne and Nebraska dropped the championship game how many times in a row?
Dean Smith didn't win his first until his 21st year of coaching, and he is still the greatest coach of all
For this idiot to say what he did is down right wrong. This is why reporters are treated like dirt, and people jump down their throats.
time in most eyes. Wooden was great, but that was a different era.
I would take a regular season the way we did every year and end the tournament without a national championship. Let us remember that in 1988 when we won it was on the back of one man, Danny Manning, and the team had lost, I think, 11 games.
The best team does not always win, and any team can beat any other team any given day. That is what is called parity in college basketball.
Kevin Barone UDKi reader, St. Louis
Kansan needs writers who support athletics
Harley Ratliff is a typical tar-
wester风 fan with a bad attitude. It’s not even apparent where his affiliations lie: He writes for the Kansan, but he wears a Texas A&M hat in his picture.
It would be nice to see a sportswriter for the Kansan who would help boost support for our football program and respect our basketball programs. I don't think he has done either one. Mr. Ratliff does not help sports programs at Kansas by publicizing his lack of commitment and bad attitude.
They support the sports programs no matter how many games the football or basketball teams win or lose, and more importantly, they allow for a little sympathy when we lose a big game rather than pouring salt into the wound that is our disappointment.
I would like to see someone write something that at least supports the sports programs here at Kansas. Maybe you can hire Max & Bob from the Lazer.
Tell Harley Rattifl to go back to Oklahoma or Texas or wherever he is from, because Kansas sports fans don't want to hear any more of his trash.

Just call columnist 'Mr. Fickle Opinion'
You know something? Your commentary entitled "They choke once
more. Are we surprised?" is an offensive piece of juvenile rambling that does no justice to the traditions of the University of Kansas.
So what if they lost? Does that take away from the fact that they will always be remembered as an incredible and special team?
You were probably among the screaming fans at Allen Field House or in some bar somewhere countless times throughout this season and the seasons before, yet you are the first to howl and whine about the Jayhawks "choking "It's disingesting and disrespectful. Perhaps, when you are starting your career in journalism, you should be careful that you don't receive the nickname "Mr. Fickle Opinion." College basketball is not about rooting for a team only when they win! Sorry if it injured your pride to see our team lose, but your pride is nothing compared to the heart of that team.
Shelley Manis
Lenexa senior
Despite ending, season deserves better story
To start things out, last time that I checked, you work for the Kansan not A&M. Get a new hat. Second, the article that you wrote, "They choke once more. Are we surprised?" really offended me and my friends. I am a die-hard Kansas basketball fan, and I will go to my deathbed defending my Jayhawks.
The whole thing about not having any excuses was a bunch of crap. Sorry, but the last time that I checked, there are five players on the court — not just two.
The Jayhawks do seem to have a problem when it comes to the month of March, but the way I look at it is, "Who cares?"
The boys played their hearts out for us the whole season, and I give them props for that. If I was a player and had to read all the negative stuff you write about us every time we lose, I probably would have quit a long time ago.
These guys gave us a great season, and they deserve to see positive things in the paper when they return from a hard loss. But no, you just write about the negative.

PENNELLIE KING
Swimmer hopes to end career on winning stroke
Nilsen: Will swim in the women's NCAA championships.
Kansan sportswriter
By Erin Thompson
Ten years and three University of Kansas records later, Nilsen soon will end her career as a Jayhawk. She will be the only Jayhawk competing in women's swimming and diving NCAA national championships this weekend.
Growing up in Ballwin, Mo., Kristin Nilsen knew she wanted to swim at Kansas.
"I wanted to come here since seventh grade," she said. "And I've never looked back and regretted my decision."
As a freshman, Nilsen said she recognized the impact the Kansas program made on her swimming. She set the school record in the 400 individual medley her first year.
"The improvement I made so fast was amazing," she said. "I lost 10 seconds off my time within the first three months. At that point I realized I had made the right decision."
That same year, she was a member of the All-American 800 freestyle relay that finished 15th at the NCAA championships. She also was one of three competitors selected as the Outstanding Performer at the Big Eight Conference Championships after winning the 200 and 400 individual medleys and the Big Eight Women's Newcomer of the Year.
Kansas coach Gary Kempf said that he was pleased to have a person like Nilsen involved in his program.
"She is a great competitor and will lay her heart on the line every time she races," he said. "There's no doubt she'll give you 110 percent every time."
Despite being a member of three All-American relays, Nilsen said she would like to earn an individual All-American. Last year she missed it by three hun-
At last year's Big 12 Conference Championships, Nilsen set a school record in the 200 breaststroke but found out devastating personal news.
She learned that her older brother Tom had been diagnosed with cancer, which has changed her focus in life.
As a business major with a concentration on human development and family life, Nilsen had wanted to work with the elderly after graduation, but now she would like to work with cancer patients.
dredths of a second.
Nilsen said she would like to earn an individual All-American this weekend.
"I never thought I'd go to the NCAAs one year, let alone four," she said. "Whatever happens this weekend. I know that my success in swimming doesn't ride on my accomplishments there."
M
but the award was not necessary to call her Kansas career a success.
Kempf said that Nilsen would be hard to replace.

"She's been a great leader in and out of the pool. She's an excellent role model," he said. "She was there to help when people needed help and there to direct when people needed directing. She's the quantum team player."

Duke's NCAA history adds pressure to team
DURHAM, N.C. — The jerseys say Duke, but this team's experience amounts to nothing. None of these Blue Devil players has gone this far in the NCAA tournament.
The Associated Press
No school has enjoyed greater success than the Blue Devils this decade. They've had national titles in 1991 and 1992 and five consecutive trips to the Final Four.
Now coach Mike Krzyewski is on familiar ground again. His topseeded Blue Devils head to the South Regional in St. Petersburg, Fla., with Syracuse, Kentucky and UCLA. All of these teams have

nament is the best among active coaches. But something is wrong
"People aren't flying around saying, 'Hey, we made the Sweet 16. There is not the exuberance as there would be for a team that hasn't done it for a long time or has never done it. In that regard, you have to m..sure sure the kids enjoy it." Krzypzewski said.
He said he sensed pressure following the second-round tournament win against Oklahoma State on Sunday. He said he walked into the locker room and saw no smiles.
"After the game I came in and knew we beat a really good team, probably a team that deserved a little bit higher recognition than they received," Krzyzewski said. "I walked in and said, 'Will you guys smile, we're in the Sweet 16?'
In 1996, Duke got knocked out of the tournament in the first round by Eastern Michigan, then got bumped last year in the second round by Providence. Krzeyzewski is hoping to move back to the Elite 8 round with a win Friday against Syracuse.
Controversial win silenced
Alabama's coach not to discuss game by order of NCAA
The Associated Press
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama coach Rick Moody has been ordered by the NCAA not to talk about the controversial finish in the Crimson Tide's second-round NCAA women's tournament win against UCLA.
views with reporters.
"They sent us a bulletin stating that any further comments would have to come from their office," Moody said yesterday during telephone inter-
The clock read 0.8 seconds before the game-winning play, in which two players tipped the ball into the hands of LaToya Caudle, who hit the game-winning shot. Replays show that the play took more than 0.8 seconds.
But once officials Jack Riorand, Robert Strong and Lolly Saenz left the court, there was no way to overturn the result. They will not work any more 1989 tournament games.
The NCAA has admitted that officials erred in not checking the video replay before leaving the court following Alabama's 75-74 victory against UCLA on Sunday.
further comment.
The result put second-seeded Alabama (24-9) into the regional semifinals for a game Saturday against No. 4 seed Louisiana Tech (28-3).
"The only thing I'm allowed to discuss is the game with Louisiana Tech." Moody said. "And that's all I have my mind on."
Still, he fielded a half-dozen questions about the game, its effect on his players and whether they could recover from such an emotional win.
Officials at the NCAA office had no
"As you look through the history of the NCAA tournament, a lot of national champions have had the good fortune of surviving games like the one we had Sunday," Moody said.

The strength to succeed
The story of Marian Washington: her struggles, her triumphs and one surprising season
story by mike harrity ● sports@kansan.com
There are better places to play basketball than the Ak-Sar-Ben Coliseum in Omaha, Neb.
Its darkened recesses are visible only when the glow of the lights reflects off the concrete floor surrounding the court and the fiberglass affixed to the wooden wall behind one of the goals — a remnant of the town's minor league hockey team that played here.
On this day, there is a psychics' convention across the hallway from the court where the Kansas women's basketball team is playing Creighton.
This is the first game of Marian Washington's 25th season as coach at Kansas.
Minutes before tipoff, the locker room is in learning mode. Assistant coach Maggie Mahood is finishing her instructions on how to stop each Creighton starter. When she's finished, all eyes focus on Washington.
"Whether we're winning or losing — I don't care if it's going great or going ugly — you must outwork them," Washington says, pounding her clenched fist like a piston.
The intensity of her firm, deliberate voice sends a cleansing wave of sureness throughout the musty room. Washington knows she must show her team that she believes.
And when she talks, there is no hint that Washington is running on five hours' sleep. This is one of many nights that she will be lucky to get four or five hours of sleep.
After losing three senior starters, she had a tough time searching for 10 games on this year's schedule that this team could win. But she doesn't tell her players that.
After 24 years, she's getting used to it.
"I just find myself lying in bed, going over what could have been done better," she says later. Washington always is thinking of what can be done to make her team better.
She points to the dry erase board, reciting the quoted message written boldly in red.
"In life and in this game," Washington says, "success does not come to you — you must go get it!"
it is clear that this game means as much to Washington as her first game at Kansas did. That was 715 games ago, when her team beat Claremore (Okla).
Junior College by 10 points.
The locker-room talk is finished, and the team huddles for a prayer. Washington invites everyone to join in the circle of clasped hands.
Back then, a younger Marian Washington trudged around campus, sticking fliers on anything that had a thumbtack and cork, triving to recruit players.
Once the "Amen" is said in unison, everyone places a hand in the middle of the group. Washington waits, then she calmly places her left hand on bottom and her right on top. This is her team. They are as much a part of her as she is of them.
The team members shout, "Jayhawks!" and pour out of the locker room.
Washington stays for a moment, alone. searching her mind, her heart, her Lord, for guidance to mold this young team into a winner.
She takes a deep breath and walks out to the court, knowing this is where she belongs.
Toughing it out
in the conference room just off Athletics Director Bob Frederick's office, painted portraits of past athletics directors line the wall.
The legends of Kansas are here: Phog Allen and Dutch Lonborg, who, combined, reigned over Kansas athletics for 31 years.
Then there is Marian Washington.
"A lot of people that walk in here ask me why she's up there," Frederick said. "Not too many people know that she was the women's athletics director in the 70s."
With the passing of Title IX in 1972, a law that prohibits sex discrimination in sports at schools receiving federal funds, women's sports demanded more attention. They didn't always get it.
Not too many people know how hard those years were for Washington.
Washington inherited a program in 1973 that had played 69 games, 32 of which it had lost, since it started in 1968.
Marian Washington has used determination and hard work to build the Kansas women's basketball program during the past 25 years. This weekend, her team will compete in the NCAA Sweet Sixteen. Photos by Geoff Krieger/KANSAN

Legislators get cookies, cards from students
By Brandon Copley
bcopley@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
About 20 University of Kansas students handed out cookies frosted in KU colors to state legislators yesterday, hoping the goodies might win a little more support for the crimson and blue.
The students handed out about 300 postcards signed by KU students urging legislators to support technology funding, health insurance for graduate teaching assistants and increased scholarship money for state universities.
The Student Legislative Awareness Board also set up refreshment tables in the Capitol on the second floor rotunda beneath the statue of Dwight D. Eisenhower. Samantha Bowman, SLAB director, said the students visited Topeka to make sure legislators kept KU issues in mind.
Yesterday was the third and final student lobby day of this legislative session.
"We're over here showing them we are interested and we're paying attention," Bowman said.
Subcommittees in both the House and Senate have completed work on University budget proposals, endorsing technology funding for which the state would contribute $2 for every $1 generated by a $1-per-credit-hour fee increase.
"As a general rule, health care is our main concern."
Mark Horowitz GTA Coalition president
Both subcommittees rejected the University's request for money to pay for GTA health insurance benefits. A state health board has ruled that the University must provide health insurance to GTAs, but legislators do not want the state to pay for the University's employer contribution.
Mark Horowitz, Graduate Teaching Assistant Coalition president, met with several legislators yesterday. He said most research universities had benefit packages for GTAs, and the University needed a similar package if it wanted to attract top-quality research and teaching assistants.
"A lot of people, like myself, haven't had health insurance for six or seven years because they're still in school and they can't afford it," he said. "So as a general rule, health care is our main concern."
Today, the House will vote on the plan to reform higher education by replacing the Board of Regents with a new governing body, which would coordinate curriculum among universities, community colleges and vocational-technical schools.
Korb Maxwell, SLAB member, is an intern for the House Select Committee on Higher Education, which drafted the plan.
He said he supported the reform plan because it meant more money for students and because it would make it easier for students to transfer credit hours from community colleges.
"I'm the coordination function would help a lot of students who transfer to KU from a community college," he said. "It would save them time and help them get their money's worth out of community college."

Fans still flock for KU apparel
Jayhawk gear sells despite loss to Rams
By Jeremy M. Doherty

Kansas staff writer
The men's basketball team's loss to Rhode Island in the NCAA tournament has not wounded the sales of University of Kansas-related apparel, Lawrence merchants say.
Representatives from several sporting goods stores said they had experienced an increase in the sales of KU shirts and hats.
Chad Wilkerson, Jayhawk Spirit manager, 935 Massachusetts St., said Sunday's defeat was followed by a Monday morning influx of customers, despite the poor weather.
"I thought we were going to be dead, but we were still understaffed this week," Wilkerson said.
Wilkerson said the tournament loss would not cause profit damage.
"We sell a lot of other college and generic stuff." he said. "But it does tamper with

our business somewhat, even though the kids are still coming in and buying."
**buggy said he did not expect to suffer from an overstocking of KU apparel.**
dil buggy, Jayhawk Bookstore owner, 1420 Crescent Rd., said the bookstore's sales were down, similar to business during the off-season. However, he said business usually increased toward the end of the season.
"We had orders pending on more merchandise, depending on whether the Jayhawks made it to the tournament.
whether or not they made it to the Final Four and whether or not they made it to the national championships," he said.
As we get into tournament time, there's a stronger influx of customers coming in," Muggy said. "Prospective customers, especially those on a tight budget, tend to wait until tournament time to purchase merchandise."
Despite the Kansas loss, items in stock are continuing to sell. Muggy said.
we do have Big 12 championship and tournament shirts," Muggy said. "That's an accomplishment that bears carrying those shirts for a while."
Ryan Shadel, Sportcenter manager, 840 Massachusetts St., said the customers had not been ignoring the store this week.
"Even in the off-season, we still sell a lot of KU stuff, especially to people visiting from out of state," he said. "The fans are so loyal that the KU basketball stuff just keeps on selling."
Shadel said KU apparel made up nearly 40 percent of his total sales.

"The KU hat outsells any hat we have," he said.
The continued fascination with Jayhawk merchandise is surprising to Shadel, whose business has been in operation for one year.
"January and February are normally slow months, but this year, it has just been awesome," he said. "The increase of the traffic flow has been tremendous. The economy is good, and people have a lot of money."

Suspects await charges for McCollum explosion
The University of Kansas Public Safety Office has identified three suspects involved in the March 8 pop-bottle explosion at McCollum Hall.
A student staff member was treated at Lawrence Memorial Hospital for a minor eye injury that resulted from the explosion of the bottle.
The three suspects, who are McColllum residents, told police they were experimenting in a room when they decided they needed to take the bottle outside. They placed the bottle in the fourth-floor center east stainwell because they said they thought it was about to explode, Sgt. Chris Keary said.
The staff member found the bottle in the stainwell at about 8:40 p.m. and took it to the front-desk area, where it exploded.
Keary said investigators used information that they had gathered and a Crime Stoners tin to identify the suspects
Supports the identification of suspects.
The incident report has been given to the Douglas County district attorney to determine charges.
The public safety office is not releasing information about the materials used to make the explosive device.
Keary said anyone with information about a crime should call KU Crime Stoppers at 864-8888. The line is open 24 hours a day and anonymity is protected. Callers are eligible for a cash award if their information leads to a suspect's apprehension.

Indonesian students burn dollars in protest
JAKARTA, Indonesia — Students burned dollar bills in an anti-government protest yesterday as Indonesia and the International Monetary Fund opened a new round of talks aimed at reviving a $43 billion bailout package.
Indonesia also joined other Southeast Asian countries in developing an alarm system to defuse future economic turmoil
Thousands of students at several university campuses protested the government's response to the crisis. At Trisaki University in Jakarta, students burned dollar bills, saying the government should take firm steps to revive the weakened currency.
The IMF had suspended the $43 billion loan package after the first $3 billion disbursement, saying President Suharto was not moving fast enough on promises to overhaul Indonesia's economy.
Under the terms of the bailout, Suharto must take the unpopular steps of dismantling subsidies and monopolies that have made his family and associates rich.
But Indonesian officials say the reforms demanded by the IMF would slash subsidies on food and fuel, ignoring the plight of the poor and the dangers of social unrest. Last month, five people were killed in riots spurred by price increases.
House resolution fails; troops to stay in Bosnia
WASHINGTON—The Clinton administration told a dubious Congress yesterday it had a legal right to keep thousands of American soldiers on peacekeeping duty in Bosnia without a pullout deadline and asked for nearly $2.5 billion to finance the operation through September 1999.
Within hours, the House voted 225-193 against a hotly fought resolution that would have forced President Clinton to withdraw U.S. troops from Bosnia or get
permission from Congress to leave the troops there.
Defense Secretary William Cohen and Secretary of State Madeleine Albright defended the peacekeeping operation as constitutional in testimony before the House National Security Committee.
Cohen said the troops in Bosnia-Herzegovina, overseeing a 1995 settlement arranged by the United States to end an ethnic war of more than three years, were unlikely to face hostile fire.
The defense secretary acknowledged it would have been politically wise to urge Congress to approve a resolution supporting the U.S. military involvement in the former Yugoslavia. But the troops in Bosnia, which he said would be reduced from 8,500 to 6,900, were not in harm's way.
8,500 to 6,900, were not in harm's way. Later, the House rejected a measure by Rep. Tom Campbell, R-Calif., designed to test the constitutionality of the 1973 War Powers Act, which requires presidents to seek congressional approval when sending U.S. forces into combat. The law was adopted by Congress as America's bloody combat role in Vietnam was lessening, but presidents of both parties since have found ways to sidestep the law.
Audits show Pentagon does not bargain hunt
WASHINGTON — More than a decade after it was ridiculed for paying $640 for a toilet seat, the Pentagon still pays vastly inflated prices for spare parts, audits disclosed yesterday.
Some examples: $76 for a set-screw that should have cost 57 cents and a $47 electrical bell marked up to $714. A Pentagon official said there were only isolated problems.
But Pentagon Inspector General Eleanor Hill told a Senate committee yesterday that new measures aimed at saving money may, in some cases, be leading to higher prices.
Pentagon purchasing officials fail to
demand price data, use sole-source sup-
pliers when competitors are available and
neglect to use the government's substantial clout to drive a hard bargain. Hill said.
—On one contract, the Pentagon bought $6.1 million worth of commercial spare parts for nearly three times the estimated fair and reasonable price. On the same contract, it bought $1 million for noncommercial items at a 30 percent markup from the fair and reasonable price.
—On the other contract, the Pentagon bought $3.2 million worth of commercial and noncommercial spare parts for an average markup of 1/72 percent more than fair and reasonable prices.
-$714 each for 108 electrical bells previously priced at $47 each.
- $1,24 for each of 31,108 springs previously priced at 5 cents each.
—$5.41 for each of 1,844 screw thread inserts, compared to a previous price of 29 cents each.
-$7.50 for 187 set-screws previously priced at 57 cents each.
Nike's financial success could be running out
BEAVERTON, Ore. — Nike just isn't doing it anymore.
Nike announced a 69 percent drop in profits Wednesday, the second straight quarterly decline, and said it would lay off 1,600 workers.
Nike said its third-quarter profits were down to $73.1 million from $237.1 million a year ago.
Nike's biggest hit will be to its 22,000- strong workforce, which will be reduced by 7 percent. That will cost the company between $125 million and $175 million in severance pay, buyouts and pension plans, but chairman Phil Knight expressed confidence that the layoffs will leave Nike "leaner and more competitive."

Funny money found at bank in Lawrence
By Ronnie Wachter
Kansan staff writer
Two incidents involving three counterfeit bills are being investigated by Lawrence police.
three counterfeits were discovered later at Douglas County Bank.
LOOK FOR:
Both incidents occurred Saturday. The first incident happened at 8:50 a.m. at Auto Body Plug, 1245 N. Third St. The second incident occurred between 11 a.m. and 11 p.m. at Wendy's, 601 Kasold Drive, said Matt Sarna. Lawrence police officer. The
Sarna said although police were investigating the cases separately, it was possible the two might be connected.
1- smoother than
  genuine bills
2- pinkish tint
3- speckles of ink
The suspects in both cases are African-American males, between 25 and 30 years old, 5-feet-8-inches tall and 140 pounds, Sarna said.
The Wendy's manager said he did not know what the suspect had purchased with the fake bill. The owner of Auto Body Plus said the suspect used two of the bills to help pay for a $700 paint job.
Sarna said that in both cases, the suspects mixed genuine currency with the counterfeits. Neither of the businesses noticed the bills were counterfeit, he said.
"They must have been good because they made it all the way to the bank." he said.
Sarna said Lawrence residents should be aware of taking, or accidentally using, any counterfeit bills.
Matthew Jancich, Lenexa sophomore and employee of the Wendy's at 523 W. 23rd St., said officials from Douglas County Bank gave a demonstration Monday at the restaurant about the difference between genuine and counterfeit bills.
"They gave us a counterfeit," Jancich said. "It felt a little smoother. You couldn't feel the fibers in it."
Jancich said the counterfeit also had a pinkish tint and small ink speckles in the background.
Lawrence police officer Mike Monroe said police were not certain how the bills used in the incidents were counterfeited. He also said that, although he did not think any of the bills had made it into circulation, residents should inspect their $20 bills to be certain the bills were genuine.

Dinner offers taste of vegetarian
National campaign aims to share merits of alternative diet
By Emily C. Forsyth
eforsyth@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Go vegetarian for your health, the earth and the animals!
A sign with this message hung outside the Ecumenical Christian Ministries building where about 80 people attended a free vegetarian dinner last night. The dinner was sponsored by Proponents for Animal Liberation in honor of the Great American Meatout, which is tomorrow.
Michael Schmitt, Harrisonburg, Va.
graduate student and member of PAL,
said this was the third year the group had
celebrated the Meatout and the second
year it had sponsored a dinner. All of the
food prepared was vegan, meaning it did
not contain any animal or dairy products.
"The idea is to get a bunch of people together to enjoy a vegan meal," Schmitt said. "If one person goes away deciding that they want to try a vegetarian diet, we're happy with that."
Food served at the dinner included tofu manicotti, minestrone soup, gingered
broccoli with red pepper, potato curry and a variety of desserts. Some food was donated by local businesses and the remaining costs for the meal were covered by members of PAL. Donations were requested.
Natalie Sullivan, Kansas City, Mo. senior and PAL member, said she hoped people would try vegetarian food.
"A lot of people don't realize how good vegetarian food is," Sullivan said. "It's not really much of a sacrifice, because it can be even tastier."
Following the dinner, organizers held a discussion to address topics of vegetarianism, such as health benefits, protecting the environment and preventing animal suffering.
Crissy Hodges, Topeka freshman, said she attended the dinner to meet people who shared her dietary lifestyle and to learn about their experiences.
"I'd like to hear the discussion afterward about why some people became vegetarian and some of the problems they have overcome," Hodges said.
Many of the people who attended the dinner were vegetarian or vegan, and some brought friends who were not vegetarian.
Diane Braun, Lawrence resident, said she was not vegetarian but she supported other people's choices.
"I object to how most animals are
raised, very inhumanely and also with a great deal of chemicals and steroids and various things added to their diet," Braun said. "I think that vegetarianism has a lot of merit."
Brandon Hubbard, Lawrence resident, said he enjoyed the food but he would not stop eating meat for the Meatout.
"It's a personal choice that's not for everybody, but I still support it," Hubbard said.
The Meatout campaign was started 14 years ago by Farm Animal Reform Movement, a national organization that promotes vegetarianism.
Caitlin Hills, director of communications for the Meatout, said that more than 2,000 communities were participating in the event this year. She said this year's Meatout was dedicated to Oprah Winfrey for her victory in a lawsuit brought by Texas cattlemen.
This year, three celebrities, Casey Kasem, Rue McClanahan of Golden Girls and James Cromwell of Star Trek and L.A. Confidential, have endorsed the national Meatout campaign.
Hills said the Meatout was held on Friday because it marked the first day of spring, symbolizing rebirth and renewal.
"People are more receptive to change in seasonal transitional periods," Hills said. "Spring cleaning—spring cleaning for the body, too."

Student body president confronts questions about veto, leadership
By Marc Sheforgen
msheforgen @kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
And the mud began to fly.
Questions with personal attack undertones were slung at Student Body President Scott Sullivan during last night's Student Senate meeting.
Sullivan had vetoed a bill that would move the elections of Senate committee chairpeople from the first committee meeting of next year to the last meeting of this year. This was the first vet of Sullivan's term.
"For that to be his first action of this year is the real problem," said Seth Hoffman, All Scholarship Hall senator.
While Sullivan addressed the Senate, political opponents asked him pointed questions that led to a personal debate.
Jason Fizell, Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, addressed the Senate by saying the veto was not in accordance with Senate code. The code dictates that a veto by the president
must be submitted within 10 days of a bill's passing and that reasons for the veto also must be included.
Kelly Huffman, Student Executive Committee chairman, ruled the veto out of order before Sullivan had given his complete explanation of the veto. The original bill, passed by Senate two weeks ago, will go into effect.
Sullivan said he had vetoed the bill within eight days of the bill's passing but he had not given his reasons, hence the technicality that allowed the veto to be dismissed before he had explained it.
Hoffman said many senators questioned Sullivan's abilities as student body president. He said this technicality was used to magnify what some considered to be a leadership problem.
"This is just a small part of a bigger problem," Hoffman said.
Sullivan said that last year, two bills had been vetored in the same manner and that the people who objected last night had raised no questions last year.
He said he thought political maneuvering was being used to suppress his opinion about the bill.
"Some people abused a technicality," Sullivan said. "They didn't want to hear another person's opinion."
Fizell said he had asked Sullivan to publish his reasons for the veto on the Senate list-serv but Sullivan had not complied.
Sullivan said the veto aimed to allow members of next year's committees a chance to elect their leaders rather than to have the chairpeople elected by students who may not be members of that committee next year.
Kevin Yoder, Interfraternity senator, said it was unfortunate Sullivan's arguments were not allowed to be heard.
"The politics here were a bigger factor than the issue at hand," he said.
When senators focus more on attacking opponents than on the issue in question, Yoder said, it leads to an ineffective Senate.
Student input to shape unions
By Melissa Nga mngo@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Student Senate wants to make sure University of Kansas students feel comfortable in the Kansas and Burge unions.
After a presentation about upcoming renovations to the Kansas Union during last night's meeting, Senate passed an amended bill allowing student fees to be used to finance the renovations.
One amendment requires Senate to preview all proposed changes to the Kansas Union. The second amendment calls for 50 percent student participation on all committees and boards dealing with the Kansas Union.
"I think that we should increase student input because the Unions have been billed as the students' living room," said Jason Fizell, Liberal Arts and Sciences senator. Senate also failed the line-item allocation budget bill and sent it back to Finance Committee.
The line-item allocation budget is decided each spring. The budget
"I think that we should increase student input because the Unions have been billed as the students' living room."
Jason Fizell
Liberal Arts and Sciences senator
distributes funds to established student organizations, such as the Asian American Student Union and the biology club, that have about the same yearly expenses.
The bill failed after discussion about why KU choirs should not be given funding for next year.
"Most of the things KU choirs are requesting are infrastructure needs, which should be paid for by the fine arts department," said Jordan Edwards, finance committee chairman.
KU choirs requested $8,983 for a playback machine, sheet music, choral folders, a newsletter and an employee to inventory sheet music.

Corey Johnson, Emporia senior and KU choirs member, said that refusing to finance the group was wrong because Senate had financed groups in the past that should have been financed by departments.
"They gave $69,000 to KU bands without being able to delineate how the two groups are different," he said
KU choirs has more than 250 student members who pay student fees, and they have the right to have their request taken seriously. Johnson said.

Complaining campus should emulate actions of loyal fans in the future
After the Kansas men's basketball arm lost to Rhode Island on Sunday in the second round of the NCAA tournament, 300 fans had the loyalty, purge and heart to go to Allen Field house and welcome the team back to
We all can learn a valuable lesson
om these fans' actions.
They set aside their disappointment, ent out into the cold night and aited several hours in the field house teachers for the team to return. Some ans even made signs and painted eir faces.
No matter that the team had just own expectations and lost a game it as supposed to win handily. When he dejected players arrived at the old house and walked onto the court.
Men's basketball fans who welcomed back team proved to be the real Jayhawk fans
the fans who were there cheered as though Kansas had just won the championship.
Now that's loyalty.
It also took a lot of courage for the fans to face their emotions the way they did—by looking the team members in the eye. While other fans cursed, sulked and consumed alcoholic beverages after the loss, these fans dealt with it in a healthy and productive way.
It was not easy to do, especially when the players stood in a line at center
court, fighting back tears.
Perhaps most importantly, these fans showed that they had heart. They put their own feelings aside and realized that their sense of loss was nothing compared to the players' and coaches'.
How difficult it would be to return home knowing that you have disappointed thousands of people. How encouraging it would be to know that some still cared about you and appreciated you.
In the future, the Kansas men's basketball team will lose again, and it will disappoint its fans again.
Eric Weslander, Kansan sports editor, for the editorial board
The next time it happens, let's try to emulate the 300 fans who had the loyalty, courage and heart to show up at the field house and console the people who needed the most support.
Bill would hurt education with censorship
True learning comes from experience, which Kansas schools provide both inside and out of the classroom. But the Kansas legislature wants to remove this learning tool from high school journalism students. A bill being considered in the Legislature could lead to the censorship of student newspapers and yearbooks, rigorously harming students' educations. If the Legislature cares about teens' educations, it should not pass this bill. The bill would change existing law to allow school boards and school administrators power to set guidelines that require review of material prepared for student publications, and to edit material to make it comply with English and vernalism standards. Proponents of the bill have said that they wanted to clarify how much control school boards and school administrators should have over the content of high school publications.
High school publications could be censored under a state bill
But the answer is simple — these people should not have control.
Most high school publications have teachers who advise them and offer guidance to student editors. However, the final decisions should be in the hands of the students.
No school administrator should have the final say about what goes into student publications. Interference by administrators only would diminish the educational value of these publications.
tions help students learn about the power and responsibilities of journalism. But students cannot do so when they have been granted neither one.
Aspiring journalists need these things in order to have a complete education. There is a limit to what can be taught in a traditional classroom — students must learn the real lessons of journalism through experience. Mistakes may be made, but that is part of learning. Our children are much better off making mistakes now, in high school, than as professionals in the future.
How can students learn about their First Amendment rights when an administrator is looking over their shoulders, telling them what they can and cannot publish? Student publica-
The Legislature should not pass this bill. It would limit students' educations and limit their futures. We should not let the Legislature pass this bill. Write your state legislators and demand that they vote down this bill. Kansas students need your help to ensure that they get the education they deserve.

Perspective
"Cleanliness is almost as bad as godliness." —Samuel Butler
Seasonal steps change direction of life's path
Sometimes it's the things we postpone that make us stop and think. I confess, it was November before the
I confess. It was November before the summer clothes at my house were put
100
summer clothes at my away. In December I moved to a new house. And now spring has nearly arrived and I'm wondering where I stored the summer clothes.
They're not in the attic.
That's full of depression glass, Fiesta dishes,
Grandma's cedar chest;
and the holiday decorations.
Lisa Stevens John
opinion © kansan.com
They're not in the shed,
the new home of my black
lab, Bear, and of Angel,
a scroungy little mutt from
the pound.
They're not in my closet, which I plan to clean during spring break.
As I ponder this question, Victoria's Secret beseliges my mailbox with catalogs, each one showing models wearing delicious summer tops and skirts. Somewhere I have clothes such as those — but I don't know where. Worse, I hardly can remember what summer clothes I do have. It's tempting to order a new top or skirt, but what if I already have something nearly identical lost in storage?
With the warmth, the snows will melt and daffodils will bloom. The wrens will arrive to scout for new homes, my youngest son and the neighborhood children will whoop and holler from the backyard playset, and I will struggle with the effervescent challenge of facing what lies hidden in the depths of the closets, of picking up pieces of yesterday and bringing them to light.
For now, I'll wait to finish the search: The turtlenecks still can fight the Mount Oread breeze, which always seems to be 10 degrees colder than any other place in Lawrence. And the sweaters, jeans and boots will do for a while longer. But some-day soon, spring's warmth will arrive. There will be a scramble to locate and dewrinkle the contents of bags and boxes of summer clothes — wherever they may be.
All of us have our challenges in life. Often, they come in a series of steps. Sometimes it isn't until moving far ahead that we are able to look back and see where the journey was leading, or why.
My decision a year ago to return to college didn't make sense to many people in my hometown in central Kansas. I'd lived there for 20 years, had my children there, found a job I loved. "Why pull up stakes now?" my friends wondered.
But there was an inevitable something tugging at me, something saying it was time to move on. As I packed the boxes in my house last summer, going from room to room, preparing for the move, the memories almost pulled me back. I could stay there forever and survive. Why not be happy with just surviving?
Perhaps because there's more to life than that.
It's an ongoing journey. One of mystery,
one of faith. It's the art of learning to put
one foot in front of another, day after day,
week after week, month after month, knowing that somehow, something better is here,
and something better lies ahead.
It's so easy to get caught in the momentum of nothingness, of needing nothing more than the next meal, the next party. It takes an extra effort to realize there's more to life than that. We learn to walk when we're young, and we have the opportunity to take extra optional steps, the steps that count, as time goes by.
Yet each step is a risk. We see our tomorrowns in a vaguely uncomfortable haze. There is no clear-cut path, no map. And to every new step, to every hello, to every new season that circumscribes our lives, there is the inevitable goodbye.
Perhaps that's why I postpone the sorting of next season's garments. Because it means not so much a few hours of organizing, hanging summer clothes and folding winter sweaters, but because it reminds me all too clearly that no matter how promising the future is, it is hard to let go of the past.

Kansan news not enough for students
For some students The University Daily Kansan is their only source of news and information. Many students live pay check to pay check and can't afford a subscription to a real publication or don't have time to be at home and watch the evening news. These days it is just as easy to dial up an internet site to obtain the desired information. But some of us have grown up reading the printed word. Therefore, the practical source of news and what's happening is the campus newspaper. So why must you publish such nonsense as "Dog Killer' grieves the loss of man's best friend". Does anyone really care about the relationship that freshman David Keith had with his pets? The Kansan has a history of publishing articles that no one cares about.
John Banning Austin, Tex., graduate student
The audience the paper is aimed at is of course college students and those in the community. But must you include such front page articles as "Lawrence police say area parties not boisterous"? Has it come to the point where there is a lack of news to report on? Please look outside the University of Kansas community.
Nationally and regionally there is news people are interested in. Report on stories with content. Now that the basketball season is over, half of the entire paper is open to report on stories. If the Kansan is an award-winning paper, then prove it.
Sports column right: Jayhawks choked
I guess the support KU students show for their team is a good thing, but the Jayhawks did choke in the Big Dance. Coming from Ann Arbor, I thought I knew
For some of the respondents to Harley Ratliff's column to say that the University is the best team in the '90s is ludicrous. When did the University win the NCAA championship last? 1988. 10 years ago. In college basketball, that is all that matters.
Yeah, we should support the Jayhawks when they win and lose, but they choked in the tournament and let the University down. I agree with Ratliff's column and stance. I even like the hat.
Nate Wilke
Ann Arbor, Mich., graduate
studenti
how often a basketball team could choke (fab five ring any bells)?, but I guess the University of Kansas fears March more than the Wolverines.
Women's basketball coverage lacking
After all, that is your goal as a journalist. If the men were still in the tournament, there would be more life-size photos of the men and undoubtedly on the front page everyday this week.
The controversial articles surrounding the men's loss to Rhode Island have been written in attempt to get people to read the paper.
However, the women are in the Sweet 16 and you really can't tell by reading the paper.
Your coverage of women's basketball this week reenforces how far behind most people are when it comes to women's athletics. I'm thankful for faithful fans of both teams who support the teams whether they win or lose.
Joy Hayes Assistant Director of Strength and Conditioning at Allen Fieldhouse
By the way, our women's basketball team is the only Big XII basketball team in the Sweet 16 — men's or women's.
Message in Rock Chalk letter obvious
I wouldn't do this if I didn't think it was necessary to point something out that has been recurring.
Matt Bachand Yorktown, Va., senior
Man who damaged KU door apologizes
Robert Fort, in his letter to the The University Daily Kansan on March 18, 1998, says that I use convoluted language in my arguments against Rock Chalk Revue.
Fort says "Perhaps the Derby freshman who came out during Saturday's performance and asked the protesters 'Aren't you being a little ungrateful?' said it best." Well, Robert, what makes you think that the protesters need United Way aid? If all of the protesters were caucasian, that would not have been said. I thought we all realized that the Derby freshman was being racist, but I guess not. No, Robert, there's nothing convoluted about your language. We hear you loud and clear.
Editor's Note: The following is a court-ordered apology which the Douglas County District Court asked The University Daily Kansan to print.
Fort definitely cannot be accused of the same.
Dear University of Kansas;
My name is Michael-John Souders, and in the case of one broken door at Lippencott Hall. I would like to address and come to terms with this incident. In all sincerity, I would like to apologize for what has happened, and say that I will take responsibility for this incident.
Thank you sincerely for your time.

'Net knocks BITNET offline
University will end network connection
By Aaron Knopf
aknopf@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Today, the University of Kansas drops its connection to BITNET, an international e-mail network that once rivaled the Internet.
BITNET has been surpassed by a rapidly growing Internet during the past years.
"Before the Internet was ubiquitous, this was a cheaper way of getting long-distance networking," said Wes Hubert, assistant director of academic computing services. "You had the cost of the line you put in and BITNET membership dues, and that was really all."
Most students and faculty now take for granted the ability to send e-mail to colleagues, friends and family anywhere.
But sending e-mail past the lines of the campus was not a possibility until the University established its connection to BITNET 12 years ago.
- "It started us all down the road
on the importance of networking across the nation," said Jerry Niebaum, academic computing services director.
The BITNET connection predated the University's connection to the Internet by about six months.
"It is now possible to exchange messages with hundreds of colleges and universities in the United States, Canada, Europe, Israel and Japan without any additional charge to either the sender or receiver other than local computer time," announced the April/May 1986 edition of Computing News, a computing services bimonthly newsletter.
Hubert said BITNET was used widely by academic institutions in the 1980s.
"At it's peak, it connected somewhere between 3,000 and 4,000 systems in the United States," Hubert said. "For a while, it certainly was a lot more heavily used than the Internet."
But the Internet proved more successful in the long run. Whereas there are now millions of systems connected to the Internet, Hubert estimated that there were, at most, 500 systems remaining on BITNET.
The Internet's phenomenal growth has come from the many services that are available across the network, such as the World Wide Web. Hubert said that BITNET was used for little more than sending e-mail between academic sites.
BITNET was structured like a chain. The University of Kansas leased a 56k telephone line to Kansas State University, which connected to Iowa State University, which connected to another university.
"The principle was that you agreed to connect and then you agreed to have someone to connect to you." Niebaum said.
Mail then traveled along that chain of computers in a set path.
"With BITNET, there was a specific path that it would be following through routing tables that were updated each month," Hubert said.
He said the local maintenance of those routing tables was no longer worth the effort because of BITNET's low use. He also said the Corporation for Research and Educational Networking, which maintains the BITNET routing tables, planned to discontinue maintenance of these tables in the near future, effectively ending BITNET.
Put brakes on theft during break
By Ronnie Wachter

Kansan staff writer
University of Kansas students and Lawrence residents need to consider house and property security before flocking to the beaches and the ski slopes for spring break, said Tom Moore, Lawrence police officer.
missing."
Moore said that every spring break, Lawrence experienced an increase in burglaries, especially in student-populated areas. However, this trend could end if students take some precautions, he said.
"The first thing you can do is tell your neighbors you're going to be gone so they can look out for you," Moore said. "See if one of them will check inside your house a few times while you're gone to make sure nothing is
Moore said that someone walking in or out of the house might give potential burglars the impression the house was occupied.
"It could throw a potential thief off guard or at least cause them to target someone else," he said.
But if neighbors will be out of town, Moore recommended students postponed newspaper and mail delivery.
"That's a dead giveaway, when there's a paper or two on your lawn," he said.
Moore also said vacationers should move valuables, such as computers, stereos, TVs or VCRs, away from windows, where the items could be seen easily.
"If you have a sliding-glass window," Moore said, "you should put a broomstick on it to
keep it forced shut."
Sgt. Chris Keary of the KU Public Safety Office said that although most residence halls would close during break, students living on campus still could protect their valuables.
"If they can keep it with them, they should take it with them." Keary said. "For things like jewelry, and anything else small and valuable, if you have it with you, you know no one else has it."
Lewis and McCollum halls will be the only residence halls open during the break.
Keary said police would patrol campus parking lots next week but students should try to take their cars with them on break.
"If they do leave them on campus, they need to make sure nothing valuable is visible," Keary said. "Put things under the seats or in the trunk."

Union to rock 'n' bowl with local Playthings
By Chris Horton
chorton@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A Lawrence rock n' roll band with a subtle 1980s influence will perform at the Jawblow tonight.
The Playthings consists of Tim Brown, guitar and vocals; Jenny Hart, bass and vocals; and Steven Anderson, drums. Tonight's show will begin at 9:30 p.m., and the Tula, Okla., band Jify Trip will open.
Hart, a Lawrence senior, said the Playthings had been together about two years. Members of the band were friends with Danger Bob, another Lawrence band. She said the band started practicing during its leisure time in the space used by Danger Bob.
"It was kind of a fluke," she said. "We would just play Danger Bob's instruments when they weren't practicing, and it eventually became a regular thing."
The band's previous drummer was former Bubble Boys member Jason Carr, who moved to San Francisco this winter. Hart said
Carr contributed greatly to the band's development.
"Jason helped us shape our sound by bringing his punk influence," Hart said.
The Plaything's sound is difficult to pigeonhole, she said.
"We like to keep it edgy,with a bit of new wave,and we like to sing about cars."
The Playthings are recording a full-length album at Underground Sounds in Lawrence. Hart said the album, expected for release in April, is tentatively titled Dan.
Hart said her University class schedule would be difficult to balance with a mini-tour that the band was trying to schedule with Danger Bob. She said touring should not be a problem after she graduated in May.
The Playthings' Jaybowl performance will be recorded for the Channel 6 program *Fusion*. The band will be one of three featured artists on the show, which airs at 6:30 p.m. Monday, 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, and 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, said Neil Rasmussen, the show's producer.
Celtic band returns to Lawrence
By Tamara Miller
miller@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
St. Patrick's Day has come and gone, but the strains of Celtic beats and violins will continue tonight at The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St.
Chicago-based band The Drovers is co-headlining with the Lawrence band Einstein Electric. Tickets are $4 for people 21 and older and $5 for anyone younger. Tickets will be sold at the door, which opens at 8:00 p.m., said Jacki Becker, Pipeline Productions promoter.
Becker said this was the second time The Drovers had played in Lawrence. The band opened for Leftover Salmon last year at The Bottleneck.
"We liked them with Leftover Salmon and wanted a chance to get them to play again," Becker said.
The Drovers will play before Einstein Electric, a classic-jam rock band, Becker said. Although the
two bands play different music, the bands attract the same type of crowd.
The Drovers also have had two soundtrack appearances. The band appeared in the film, *Blink*, starring Madeline Stowe and played on the soundtrack.
"There's this one scene where Madeline Stowe plays the violin in the band," Buhar said.
The band also played on the Back-
draft soundtrack, Suhar said.
"The huge thing about Chicago is the Irish mayor," he said. "I think they just wanted to capture that Irish-Chicago feel."
Although Celtic folk music is not a common occurrence at The Bottleneck, Lawrence has an appreciation for this type of music, Becker said.
"Celtic music comes to Lawrence; they just don't always play at The Bottleneck," she said.

NEW YORK — One scribbled line of John F. Kennedy's inaugural address and nine photocopied pages of the speech sold for $39,000 yesterday as a two-day JFK memorabilia auction began.
Before the bidding opened, the collector selling most of the 500 or so items reached an agreement with Caroline Kennedy and John F. Kennedy Jr. to return some of their father's personal items.
Among the items Robert L. White agreed to return were two of their father's handwritten journals and a clock the president kept
in the Oval Office.
As part of the agreement, the Kennedy children surrendered all claims to ownership of the other auction items, including JFK's St. Christopher medal money clip; photographs; correspondence between their father and mother, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis; and clothing worn by their parents.
The agreement did not cover the watch Kennedy was wearing on the day he was assassinated and the briefcase he carried with him on that trip to Dallas — both of which his children had asked for.
White's lawyer, Robert Adler,
said his client was glad to have the
controversy behind him.

Tom McNaught, a representative of the Kennedy Library in Boston, said the returned items would be given to the library. The Kennedys did not return messages.
The start of the sale at Guernsey's auction house drew about 150 bidders to Manhattan's Seventh Regiment Armory.
gural speech: "An inaugural is a beginning and an end —"
The speech package had been expected to bring $4,000 to $6,000.
Also included was a nine-page photocopy of Kennedy's handwritten draft of the full speech, which is best known for the line, "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country."
Evelyn Norton Lincoln, who was the president's secretary, bequeathed White a trove of Kennedy's personal items when she died in 1995. The Kennedy children have said they felt betrayed by Lincoln.
Earlier this week, White agreed to remove 21 items from the auction after negotiating with the National Archives. Among the items were a White House writing desk and notes Kennedy made before a 1961 meeting with Nikita Khrushchev.
"The number of items she took for herself and the intensely personal character of many of them is overwhelming," the Kennedys said in a statement.
Two years ago, in a sale at Sotheby's to benefit the Kennedy family, bidders paid $34.5 million for 5,000 items from the estate of Mrs. Onassis.
Gore pushes U.S. Senate to pass IRS reforms
Plan could begin this tax season
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Bent on claiming the popular IRS-reform mantle, Vice President Al Gore championed anew the administration's plan for a customer-friendly tax collector yesterday.
He pushed the Senate to pass legislation restructuring the Internal Revenue Service for this tax season and for all seasons.
Emergency tax refunds issued in hardship cases within one business day and new technology to route taxpayer telephone calls more efficiently were among the 200 administrative changes that Gore formally unveiled in a Roosevelt Room ceremony. He first disclosed many of those same ideas in the same room at the White House last fall.
"They will help us ensure that we have an IRS that is not just taken off people's backs but put on their
side," the vice president said. A task force of IRS employees compiled the recommendations into a 92-page report.
Some Republicans suggested that Gore, a certain contender for the presidency in 2000, was trying to exploit the popular issue of IRS reform.
"He talked about all of this last fall. It's hard to see what's new here," sniffed Ari Fleischer, spokesman for the House Ways and Means Committee.
The committee crafted legislation — subsequently passed by the House on Nov. 5 — that, in any dispute, shifts the burden of proof from the taxpayer to the IRS, protects innocent spouses from mistakes made on joint returns and creates an independent board to oversee the IRS.
"The congressional IRS reform train had already left the station, and today the administration hopped into the caboose," Ways and Means Chairman Bill Archer, R-Texas, said yesterday.
"They will help us ensure that we have an IRS that is not just taken off people's backs but put on their side."
Vice President
Al Gore
who was in Las Vegas, Gore claimed credit for getting House approval of the Republican bill.
"The Senate has been studying it for the last five months. It's time for the Senate to pass it so the president can sign it and help give the American people an IRS that is more fair, more efficient and more responsive for this tax season and for all seasons." Gore said.
Senate Finance Committee Chairman William V. Roth Jr., R-Del., said he would introduce his own IRS reform package within the next few weeks. House Republican leaders hope to have joint agreement on a bill before Congress adjourns this year.
Businessman Steve Forbes, who is likely to seek the Republican presidential nomination in 2000, issued a statement knocking the administration's customer-service reforms.
"Does anyone really believe Bill Clinton and Al Gore can make the IRS a kindier and gentler place? It's ludicrous." Forbes said.
His political action committee launched a multistate radio ad campaign advocating a complete overhaul of the IRS and the federal tax code by 2001.
"They are corrupt to their core. You need to abolish them and replace them." Forbes said.
To compile their report, called Reinventing Service at the IRS, task-force members picked the brains of front-line IRS workers and taxpayers about how to improve service at one of the government's least popular agencies.
One finding was familiar: Taxpayers want minimum contact with the
To that end, the IRS will drop unnecessary notices by the end of 1998, meaning the elimination of 45 million pieces of IRS mail per year.
IRS.
The Clinton administration also plans to report to Congress this year on the fairness and effectiveness of all penalties, which is in tune with growing congressional interest.
The IRS slapped taxpayers with $18.3 billion in penalties and interest in 1996 and collected $4.4 billion of that amount. Roth plans to include penalty reform in his bill—an idea backed by some Democrats, including Sen. Bob Graham of Florida.
The report found that IRS performance measures now are production driven, overvalue enforcement, focus on isolated steps and may inadvertently encourage unfair treatment of taxpayers.
One of the administration's most far-reaching changes would reward IRS workers for good customer service instead of the numbers of cases processed.

Turkish court orders retrial of activists; protests ensue
The court said there was not enough evidence to convict the students on the charges of belonging to an illegal leftist organization.
ANKARA, Turkey — An appeals court ordered a new trial yesterday for eight student activists sentenced to 18 years in prison, sparking violent clashes between police and supporters of the students.
The case is being monitored closely by human rights groups as a test of the government's promise to curb human rights abuses.
The students, arrested in 1996 when they unfurled banners inside the Parliament building protesting tuition hikes, were members of the leftist Revolutionary Youth organization.
Prosecutors claimed the group was a successor to the banned People's Salvation Party-Front.
But appeals Judge Demirel Tavil said it was not clear whether Revolutionary Youth was actually an illegal group and ordered police to investigate further.
The new trial will begin Wednesday. If the police fail to come up with convincing evidence against the group, the students could be acquitted.
After the hearing, a stone-throwing melee broke out in Ankara when police moved in on hundreds of students gathered to demonstrate their solidarity with the defendants. At least 12 officers, a reporter and a cameraman were injured.
In Istanbul, student protesters destroyed a police car with clubs and stones and attacked a police booth outside the Greek consulate. Police fired in the air to disperse the crowd. No injuries were reported.
The Anatolia news agency said about 300 people were arrested in the protests.
Body's natural painkillers could lead to new medicine
The Associated Press
Researchers test drugs that could replace morphine
Such drugs might work against pain that does not respond well to morphine, such as some pain from cancer, from diabetic nerve damage and from the disease shingles.
NEW YORK — Researchers have discovered two painkillers produced naturally by the body, a finding that might yield hints for designing new medications to treat a variety of conditions.
Scientists previously have identified other natural painkillers, called endorphins, that act in the brain and spinal cord much like morphine.
So far, the new painkillers
have shown promise in mice. One substance, dubbed nocistatin, (pronounced NO-suh-STAH-tin) is described in today's issue of the journal Nature by Seiji Ito of the Kansai Medical University in Osaka, Japan, along with colleagues there and elsewhere in Japan and Singapore.
"This is pretty big news," said Gavril Pasternak, who studies the biology of pain at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York.
He and colleagues found the other new painkiller, which they call QFQ2. A report on their work will appear in the journal NeuroReport in a couple of weeks, he said.
Both painkillers are made from the same protein. Both act on the central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord.
In the Nature paper, the Japanese scientists injected nocistatin along with a pain-producing substance into the spinal cords of mice. Normally, this second substance is so potent that mice find it painful when their flanks are stroked by a paintbrush. But nocistatin blocked the substance's effect.
The researchers also put mice on hot plates to test sensitivity to heat pain after injections with the pain-promoting substance. Nocistatin largely blocked the substance's effect.
Pasternak's team exposed the tails of mice to a hot light to see how long it took before the mice flicked the tails away. Results showed OFQ2 blocked pain when injected into either the spine or the brain, he said.
Drugs that block pain in such tests also relieve pain in people, Pasternak said.
Scientists find defective gene
Genetic testing could give family members warning
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Scientists have identified a defective gene that can make a young person's heart stop beating for no apparent reason.
The heart starts quivering instead, unable to pump blood efficiently. The person collapses, unconscious, and dies quickly unless treated with an electric shock to get the heart working correctly again.
Such episodes are called ventricular fibrillation and kill more than 300,000 Americans each year, but the majority of those cases are caused by a prior heart condition. The new finding pertains to cases with no apparent explanation, or idiopathic ventricular fibrillation.
It is not clear how common IVF is. But past reports suggest it might kill 15,000 to 36,000 Americans a year, said Qing Wang of the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. He reported identifying the gene with other scientists in today's issue of the journal Nature.
The victims cited in the Nature paper were men stricken in their 20s, 30s and 40s, but IVF can appear in either sex and can strike even teenagers.
Frank Markus of the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Tucson, Ariz., who maintains a registry of IVF cases, said the findings might lead to new treatments for IVF and more common disorders that cause ventricular fibrillation.
IVF now is treated by implanting a device to shock the heart back into pumping rhythm if it detects an episode occurring.
The newly identified gene does not cause all cases of IVF, but it indicates a particular family of
genes that could be studied for other cases, Wang said.
Gene testing in the family of a person who has had an IVF episode might identify others at risk. Those people then could be warned to avoid intense physical activity or emotional stress, Wang said.
The gene previously had been implicated in another unusual heart disorder called long-QT syndrome, which also can kill young, otherwise healthy people by disrupting heartbeat. Wang said different flaws in the gene lead to either that disorder or IVF.
The gene is called SCN5A. It tells heart cells how to build channels to take in charged particles of sodium from outside the cell. That is a crucial step in generating the electrical signals that regulate heartbeat.
Wang and colleagues looked at six families with a history of IVF and at two other people with the disorder. The SCN5A gene was mutated in three families.

Washington travels hard road to success at Kansas
Continued from page 1A
“D right away, we had to face the
"Right away, we had to face the good old boys," Washington said. "To see how women were being treated and how they were not respected showed what their attitude was."
Not a week into her coaching career, Washington experienced that attitude firsthand.
The athletics director at the time, Clyde Walker, was not a friend of women, Washington said. On her second day of work, she picked up a newspaper article in which Walker was quoted as saying that he didn't care about the women's program and that he wasn't going to give them any money.
"I just got sick," she said. "Reporters were calling me up saying, 'Clyde Walker said this, Clyde Walker said that.' So I responded. I said that he's supposed to represent us. How can he say that he doesn't want us to build our program?"
The day after Washington's rebuttal appeared in the paper, she was called into Walker's office.
Walker, who is now a sports marketing consultant in Charlotte, N.C., says he doesn't remember the article. Nor does he know how somebody could say he did not support women.
"He says, 'You know, Marian, sometimes they don't get quotes right; they put words in your mouth,'" Washington said. "He was giving me an out."
But Washington told him that she had meant everything she had said in her newspaper response.
he said, 'We can't have this.' And I told him, 'You're right. I can't either,' she said.
Washington's career
“At that point, I thought it was all over for me. I wanted to coach and build this program, but I there was no way I was going to work for this man who was supposed to be over us but had that kind of disrespect.”

"Clyde was not particularly sympathetic to the women's programs," Shankel said. "And that complicated Marian's life a lot."
Shankel understood what Wash ineton was facing.
As a result, Shankel split the athletics department into women's and men's sports and appointed Washington the athletics director for women.
Enter then-executive vice chancellor Del Shankel. He phoned Washington and told her that something needed to change. Washington replied that she could no longer work for Walker.
So there she was, in July 1974, head coach for the women's basketball team, athletics director for women's sports and coach of the women's track and field team, which she bad started.
Her workdays usually ran longer than 12 hours. She was paid $14,000 a year.
going to get it by it only playing schools within 30 miles of Lawrence.
Washington coached the track and field team for one year before the grind became too much. And she had a basketball program to build.
She needed money for the program. So in addition to proposing an annual budget to Student Senate, Washington held bake sales, car washes and summer camps.
Washington's teams would pile into old, white, state-issue vans, with packed lunches in hand, and would play teams such as Grand View and Mount St. Scholastica.
There was no recruiting. Washington would post the fliers for tryouts around campus and pray that young women would show up.

She did not give her first scholarship until 1975. It was a $200 check to Adrian Mitchell, who became the school's second all-time leading scorer.
Washington, who would drive, remembered a 12-hour ride to Plainview, Texas, on a cold December night in 1976, to play Wayland Baptist, one of the top teams in the nation.
She would make these trips to gain national recognition. She wasn't
And there was the snowstorm on the way to Minnesota in 1890. To this day, it's the worst Washington has seen. She could only see the road line immediately after the wiper would glide across the wide windshield.
Peg Wittmer, who has done the team's radio broadcasts for more than 20 years and is a longtime friend of Washington's, was also in the van.
"You couldn't even see two feet in front of the van, so we had to go about five miles an hour." Wittmer said.
"She was so calm, we knew she had it under control. And when we finally got to the arena where we were going to play the next day, I couldn't believe it. She just turned around like nothing happened and told the team to unload for the shootaround."
To Washington, it was no big deal.
"I've always had to find a way to work through whatever I was feeling." was all she said.
Now she's not talking about a snowstorm. She's talking about her life. She talks about things that she hasn't openly shared in all her time at Kansas.
"I have a hard time with this part of my career," Washington said. "I could probably load up with so many negatives we could have a whole bunch of pages on it. They might say that Marian just thinks that people are out to get her. But people don't have any idea what I've been through."
The positives she has experienced outweigh the negatives, but the negatives drive her. They have pushed her to achieve 480 wins. She has accepted the challenges.
"To have been in this business as a black woman, people have done everything to keep me from being successful," Washington says. "I have worked hard to not let people see this side of me.
Washington recalls a statewide petition launched by former Kansas coaches to oust her from the position as athletics director. She recalls whispers accusing her of drug use, because nobody could be working as hard as she was to get the women's athletic program started.
"I never understood why people just couldn't appreciate my efforts," she says. "If I had to tell somebody that we needed the court for practice that day, well now I was a black b-i-t-c-h. And I think the hardest times were when they were people that I had to face every day.
"I have to pray about it all the time. I have to ask God to not harden my heart. He has moved me forward and those people are looking up to me now, calling me for help."
It wasn't only her early years that were troubling. In the winter of 1987, Washington was able to secure a recruiting visit from Daedra Charles, one of the top national recruits at the time, who now plays for the Los Angeles Sparks in the WNBA.
Washington had arranged a reception to welcome Charles at halftime of a men's basketball game at Allen Field House. Halftime came, and the two left the field house and went to the reception room.
Washington opened the door, and the room was dark and empty.
Charles ended up going to Tennessee, where she was a two-time All-American and a member of two national championship teams. Washington still can't explain what happened.
"I guess they just forgot about us," she says.
Washington still is searching for a piece of the basketball court she has spent about half of her 51 years on. After it was replaced in 1992, the court was cut into pieces and distributed. Some went to fans for a price, others were gifts to those in the athletics department. Washington never was offered a piece.

Those things eat at her.
"My life has been so focused, so driven, because of the pain," she said. "And I think that I lost a lot of the balance because of that. I wanted so much to be successful, that I was ready to put so much of the rest of my life aside.
"If I had it to go through again, I wouldn't do it. I would never do it again."
She would do it again.

They mowed lawns and helped people move. And when neighbor's cars broke down, they brought them to Goldie. Washington, her three younger sisters and younger brother would huddle around the engine, waiting for their dad's instructions.
miles south of Philadelphia. Goldie, who died in 1971 at the age of 81, was self-employed and did odd jobs around town. But whenever he was working, his family was closely in tow.
"I don't remember not working." Washington said. "Playing was a luxury to me. But it wasn't like we didn't have fun. We just learned how to have fun working hard."
"He was very much from the old school, in terms of stressing discipline and being strict, but he was so far ahead in his respect for women that he just didn't think there were any barriers," Washington said.
And Goldie placed no boundaries on them for being women.
Seeing the family struggle took its toll on Washington. This, her mother believes, is what drove her to succeed.
"I have my mother to thank for the capacity to love," Washington said. "She always stressed that even though we might not have had as much material things as others, it was important to have a relationship with God."
"She didn't like to see us toiling the way we had to toil," her mother said. "I could tell that she wanted to make it better for our family."
No matter how late the family finished the day's jobs, her mother would read the Bible to her every night.
She takes a long pause when asked to describe her childhood home.
She doesn't tell people that her home was without electricity sometimes, so the family would use kerosene lamps instead.
This is the part of her childhood she doesn't tell people.
"I don't really want to right now," she savs.
She doesn't tell people that the first time she saw carpet on the floor was when she was visiting a softball teammate's home in the fifth grade.
depth about her daughter, Josie, a 1984 graduate of Kansas who is married with two children and lives in pennsylvania. Washington chooses to keep this part of her life private.
Washington was a quiet child who spent a lot of time thinking. She wondered why, when she was walking to school, kids would hang out the window of passing cars and yell "blackie" and "nigger" as they sneed by.
It wasn't until she started competing in sports that Washington had an outlet.
"I didn't have to worry about the fact that I didn't have a lot of money or that my house wasn't as nice as someone else's." Washington said. "Competing just helped me have a sense of self-worth, because being Black did not keep me from being successful."
Washington excelled in basketball and track during her time at Henderson High School. Mary Jo Hetzel, who attended a private school nearby and played basketball against Washington, recalls one battle.
Washington doesn't speak in
"I remember in one game, after she had already scored a bunch of points, I said to my coach, 'Let me try and guard her.'" Hetzel said. "And, let me tell you, I didn't do much better. She was just on another level."
Washington never thought of college until she met her ninth-grade algebra teacher, Ruth Redding. After seeing how hard Washington worked at math, Redding told her to consider college.
Washington eventually enrolled at West Chester State. Even though she continued to compete in sports, she had no scholarships. So she helped pay for school by working the night shift in a factory that produced plastic cups.
"All of a sudden, it wasn't just that I could play all these sports." Washington said. "Now there was someone telling me that I had a mind as well."
Washington's mother, who turned 88 last month, remembers the late-night talks she had with her husband about their oldest daughter.
"He used to tell me, 'Sister's going to be something,' she says, referring to the nickname Goldie gave her when she was born." The struggles she has faced in her life are all worth it now. Many people would have quit, but not Marian. She was focused on what she wanted, and now she has it."
the struggles and hard work influence Washington's spending habits today. Only after her salary was increased in recent years—she made $110,000 last year—did she buy new bedroom furniture and a set of pots and pans. The replaced
wares had been with her since she came to Kansas in the early 70s.
"I am so used to saving and being disciplined with money that I still don't really indulge with cars or clothes or anything," Washington said. "My father taught me that it was not how much you had, but the quality of what you had."
1 nat explains the well-preserved Flat that sits in her driveway and the '89 Saab in the garage, both of which she rarely drives.
But there is one exception to the quality/quantity rule: videotapes. They engulf the bar counter beside the living room and are piled 20 or 30 high in five neat stacks.
"I'm always taping games, and I guess sometimes I go overboard with those." Washington said, pointing at the three VCRs that sit atop her big-screen television. "But, you can never be too prepared for a game. And when we play, I need to feel like I did everything possible to give us the best chance to win."
Wins and Losses
Wins were something Washington had a hard time seeing when she looked at her team's tough schedule at this season's start. Maybe 10 wins, she thought.
On the team bus after winning the season's first game against Creighton, she said, "If we could just get through this year with the recruits and another year of experience, we can make it to the tournament next year. If we could just get through this year."
She would have laughed then he she had heard that her team would make it farther in the NCAA Tournament than the men's team.
The wins haven't always been easy. An 18 point comeback against Texas at Allen Field House earlier this season was one of the most gut-wrenching in Washington's career.
The team has 23 wins as they head to Oakland, Calif., this weekend to play Arkansas in the women's second-ever Sweet-16 appearance.
The words Tamecka Dixon spoke early in the season seem almost prophetic now. Dixon played for Washington from 1993-1997 and now plays for the Los Angeles Sparks in the WNBA.
Above: Marian Washington paces the sidelines during a game earlier this season. For the first time in her 25 years as women's basketball coach, her team has advanced farther in the NCAA Tournament than the men's team.
Left: The two Marian Washingtons. The younger Marian credits her mother, 80, with giving her the capacity to love.
"Everyone will be shocked when they're beating teams in the tournament," Dixon said in November. "But it's going to happen, because she is a great coach and will get the maximum out of these players."
During practices, Washington looks like a teacher waiting for her students to finish a test. She walks with arms folded to each group of drills, which are run by assistant coaches Tim Eatman, Misty Opat and Mahood.
When freshman point guard Jennifer Jackson fails to defend her player, Washington points out what she did wrong.
"Even when she yells, I don't feel like she's yelling at me, I just feel like she's talking loud," Jackson said. "A lot of coaches get mad and they scream their heads off. Coach Washington is not like that. She just looks at you, and you know exactly what you did wrong."
She can relate to players because she has competed at the highest level. Washington played center on the West Chester State team that won the national championship in 1969. Later that year, she was chosen as one of the first of two black women to make the U.S national team. She also competed internationally in handball as a member of the U.S. women's Olympic team in the 1975 World Games.
Though she wants nothing more than to see her players improve, she's not serious all the time. Her players get to see the side of Washington that only comes out when they're around.
Washington will attempt to prolong a surprisingly successful season this weekend at the NCAA Sweet Sixteen in Oakland, Calif.
On the serious side, she has games to win. Not just for herself, but to prove wrong all those that ever told her she couldn't and wouldn't be where she is today.
When junior guard Shandy Robins asked Washington what her beauty secret was the (51-year-old Washington doesn't look a day older than 40), she replied, "You kids keep me young."
She's won those battles, and now the biggest challenge is on the basketball court.
But, when asked how much longer she will coach, Washington plays it close to the vest.
"I still have too much to do," she savs.

The Kansas women's basketball team left at 2 p.m. yesterday from Allen Field House to go to Oakland, Calif., to prepare for its second NCAA Sweet 16 appearance in the last three seasons.
seasons. The Jayhawks, seeded No. 5 in the West Region, will face ninth-seeded Arkansas at about 13:00 p.m. Saturday.
Kansas coach Marian Washington said at a noon press conference yesterday that she was excited and that her young team already had surpassed expectations.
The Jayhawks will try to achieve even more when they take on Arkansas.
The Jayhawks, 23-8, began preparing to make history Tuesday morning.
Kansas never has advanced past the Sweet 16 and will have to beat an athletic Razorback team to do so. Guard Jennifer Jackson said that the team had set high goals all year and that it would not stop now.
"After the season, we sat down and set our goal at winning the Big 12 Tournament, but we fell one game short," Jackson said. "Next, we set our goal at making the Sweet 16, then making history."
Physically, they did not center Nakia Sanford said the early morning practice usually would have been difficult, but not yesterday.
"We practiced at 6 a.m. because of the cramped schedule." Washington said. "They did a relatively good job. Physically, they did a great job."
"I got up at 5 a.m. with no problem," Sanford said. "I'm just really excited"
Washington said she was glad her team was going to be in Oakland for a few days before the game.
'I wanted them to get adjusted, especially to the time difference." Washington said. "The game is set for a late start. TV dictates a lot of that."
"I think that they are playing with their heart and soul. They are going to go to Oakland and give their best, and that's all we can ask of them.

Washington said that no matter what time the game began, her team would be ready.
The game will start 30 minutes after the Florida vs. Duke game, which will begin at 9 p.m. CST.

"I just think that they are really determined women, and I think that they are playing with their heart and soul," Washington said. "They are going to go to Oakland and give their best, and that's all we can ask of them."

Kansas guard to challenge familiar faces

Jackson: Has never regretted choice to play with Jayhawks
By Kevin C. Wilson
Kansan sportswriter
It might have happened.
Jackson, a Tuscaloosa, Ala., native, said she had considered attending Arkansas — the Jayhawks' opponent in the Sweet 16 — when she was in high school.
Freshman guard Jennifer Jackson could have been an Arkansas Razorback.
"Arkansas was one of my top-five choices," Jackson said. "But after my campus visit at Kansas, I knew this was the right place for me. I've never regretted it."
Neither have the big team. Jackson has been the team's starting point guard in every game this season and averages nine points per game. She leads the Jayhawks in assists (three per game) and ranks second on the team in steals (two per game).

Jackson also has improved her play in the NCAA Tournament, averaging 12.5 points per game, including a team-high 15 points against Iowa in the second round. The guard shot 58.8 percent from the field during the weekend and averaged a team-leading 36.5 minutes.
"They wanted to win and that made all the difference in the world," Sanford said. "From the start, Jennifer has gone out and given us 100 percent."

Williams reflects on past, looks to future
By Tommy Gallagher

Kansas sportswriter
Kansas coach Roy Williams reflected on his team's accomplishments this year and contemplated the future yesterday at his final press conference of the season.
Williams said a huge part of the team's 80-75 loss to Rhode Island in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Sunday was the Rams' quick, slashing guards.
"The thing that we were concerned about all year long was the two quick guards," Williams said. "We knew that would be a problem for us. It was a bad match-up for us, and I knew that when I saw Rhode Island play. But I still thought we would win."

But Kansas lost, and Williams again sought solace from those who know him best. He
Williams: Had been worried by match up with Rhode Island
"I talked to P.J. Carlesimo, who said it could be a lot worse." Williams said, alluding to the incident in which Latrell Sprewell tried to choke Carlesimo.
talked to his mentors. Dean Smith, former North Carolina coach; Bill Guthridge, North Carolina coach; and P.J. Carlesimo, Golden State Warriors coach.
Williams reminded everyone of the season's successes — on and off the court.
The Jayhawks extended their school record, home-court winning streak to 60 games. They tied school records for games played and won in a season. And they went 69-6 in the last two seasons, just one win shy of an NCAA record for wins during a two-year period.
And remember all the events surrounding Kansas' 100 years of basketball commemoration — Wilt Chamberlain's return for his jersey retirement ceremony Jan. 17 and the Jayhawks' grand reunion the weekend of Feb. 8.
The seniors won 123 games in their collegiate career, more than any class in Kansas history. And they became the first class not to lose a home game in their careers.
Thomas said Sunday that not reaching the Final Four in his college career would not tarnish his experiences from the past four years.
the week of Feb. 24.
Seniors Raef LaFrentz, Billy Thomas and C.B. McGrath shattered some long-standing school records during their careers.
"We had a good run, but we just weren't lucky in the NCAA Tournament," Thomas said. "But what we accomplished in our four years, no one can take that away from us."
The 100th season of Kansas basketball was one to remember for Williams, who said he would not take a third trip to the Final Four for granted.
Finally I thought I'm maddest about is in my first five years here, we went to the Final Four twice," Williams said. "I probably didn't allow myself to enjoy it as much as I should have because I thought I was going to do that a lot. So next time, I'm going to enjoy the heck of it."
Razorbacks root through Jayhawk relief pitchers
By John Blakely Wilson
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas baseball team (8-7) bobbled through a 12-7 loss to nationally ranked Arkansas (16-4) yesterday at Hoglund-Maupin Stadium.
Magnus Stadium had just eight hits and committed five errors, while the pitchers allowed nine earned runs.
Baseball
"We really didn't do anything well today," pitcher Chad Shuster said. "We might have panicked a bit after we got behind late in the game."
Kansas relief pitcher lit a fire and then three gasoline on it. Six different hurriers allowed nine runs during the final four innings after starting pitcher Brian Schriner left the game with a 6-3 lead.
"We lost our nerve on the mound in a tough game," said Bobby Randall, Kansas coach. "I kept changing pitchers to try to hold the score down late, but nobody was throwing well."
Randall said he was impressed with Schriner's pitching.
Schmerber said, "We didn't play the greatest defense behind him, and you have to remember that he's a freshman," Randall said. "He lost his concentration a bit but only gave up three runs."
The Jayhawks scored six runs in the bottom of the fifth inning. Designated hitter Les Walrond and right fielder Cliff Bryson each hit two-run singles in the fifth inning.
"I think we got scared at the end of the game," Randall said. "We tried too hard.
"Iliked the way our offense came alive in the middle of the game," Randall said. But, Randall said, he was concerned with the lack of offense after the sixth inning.
Arkansas pitcher Greg Gilleland, the winning pitcher, struck out seven batters without allowing a base runner in the final three and two-thirds innings.
It wasn't like it was Christy Mathewson out there striking us out."
Third baseman Sparky Wilhelm committed three of the team's five errors.
"We didn't have a good day defensively, but a single day doesn't define a player or a team," Randall said.
Randall said he was happy to play outdoors but the outcome of the game was more important.
"We need to get games in, but it does us no good to lose," Randall said. "We found out that we're still immature, but we also know we're not a bad baseball team."

After a slow start, the Jayhawks have won three of their last four matches. All of these wins were without their top singles player Enrique Abaroa. Abaroa is expected to play today.
Kansas coach Mark Riley said the Jayhawks knew what to expect from Auburn
"We're doing fine," he said. "We're back on track to where we thought we'd be at the beginning of the season. Hopefully, Enrique will be ready to go, and we'll be fine."
Riley said Abaroa's return and the week and a half without any matches had helped the Jayhawks.
It is the first time this season Kansas will play outdoors, and the weather could be an additional opponent—it rained yesterday in Montgomery. But playing outside should not be a problem, Riley said.

"We've practiced some outside," he said. "It will be a little different, but we usually don't have much trouble adjusting to being outside."
The Jayhawks will have only a few days off after returning from Alabama on Sunday. Wednesday they will head to the West Coast to face California, UNLV and New Mexico.
Drexler, a member of Houston's Phi Stlaima Jama dunking fraternity of the 1980s, returned to his alma mater yesterday as coach of the Cougars.

"I love the Cougars, and I think we have a great opportunity to bring back the excitement and the success Cougar basketball enjoyed during my college playing days." Drexler said. "This is a new chapter in my career and a new challenge, but I'm ready for it."

Drexler and his current Houston Rockets teammate Hakeem Olajuwon led the Phi Slama Jama fraternity that entertained fans with their dunking performances and went to the Final Four three straight years, in 1982 and 1983 with Drexler and in 1984 without him.
The Cougars, with Coach Guy V. Lewis, had a 59-8 record in Drexler's final two seasons, but Drexler will find a different atmosphere when he finishes his NBA career.
Houston has not been in the NCAA tournament since it lost to Georgia Tech in the first round of the 1992 Midwest Regional under Pat Foster.

He has been the target of scathing criticism all season from All-Star teammate Karl Malone, who blasted the big man for showing up to training camp overweight and out of shape.

Malone scid the extension, along with Miller's comments that he was trying to build a team for the future, when Malone and fellow veteran John Stockton would no longer play, amounted to a slag in the face.
Malone noted he was playing for Utah for about $5 million this year after more than a decade in the NBA.
Osterag, after averaging 7.3 points a game as a starter last season, got off to a rough start this year. In 45 games — only 23 of those as a starter — he has scored 5.2 points and pulled down 6.4 rebounds per game.
Ostergat has refused to respond to the criticism during his recovery.

Spartans to face Tar Heels
Michigan State seeks tournament 'Magic' of 1979
It is all hard to escape for Michigan State.
And if that is not enough, there is the prospect of thousands of North Carolina fans along Tobacco Road who will fill Greensboro Coliseum tonight, intent on seeing the Tar Heels move closer to yet another Final Four.
GREENSBORO, N.C. — The tradition, the big-name players, the tournament success.
The Associated Press
---
Michigan State coach Tom Izzo hopes his team is not consumed by the Tar Heels' mystique or the pressure of an East Regional semifinal.
The Spartans have not advanced this far since 1990.
The Tar Heels (32-3), top-seeded and ranked No. 1, have been to the Sweet 16 in 16 of the last 18 years.
"When you play a team like this,
you've got to realize you're not
playing Michael Jordan, you're not
playing all the trophies, you're just
A
playing them," Izzo said yesterday.
"For the most part, this team does not really
Mateen Cleaves, Michigan State's scoring leader and Big 10 player of the year, said he grew up a North Carolina fan, watching the Tar Heels on television as a kid in Flint, Mich.
have a fear factor," added Izzo, whose fourth-seeded team won the Big 10 regular-season title and is 22.7.
"When you think of North Carolina, you think of the tradition, the Jordans, the Worthys, the Stackhouses — all down the line," the Spartans point guard said. "I liked seeing that blue on the TV. It should be fun to go out and play against them. It's like a dream come true."
Or a nightmare.
The Tar Heels were ranked No.1 for eight weeks this season and have been a team of overpowering experience, skill and flair at many times.
"They have a phenomenal outside player in (Shammond) Williams and an inside player in (Antawn) Jamison, and if you try to just worry about those two guys, then
Carter lives above the rim," Izzo said.
"We need to keep a body on those guys because if we don't, it's going to be a dunk-a-thon, he said."
North Carolina's mark on basketball the last 40 years is etched in the college record books. And Izzo knows what a victory against the Tar Heels would mean.
"He's explosive, a strong competitor, and he really pushes the ball up the floor," North Carolina coach Bill Guthride said. "He'll be an NBA player."
But with the Tar Heels defensively rotating Ed Cota, Williams and the much-taller Carter on him, Cleaves will be a marked man.
"We're in the building stages, and the only way you start to get over the hump is you have to do something that maybe is a little unnatural," Izzo said. "It would be as big a victory at Michigan State since Magic Johnson won the (1979) national championship."
"There is no secret that if we don't have other people step up we won't win this basketball game," Izzo said. "But the other part of it is if we don't defend and rebound we won't either."
Cleaves, who scored 20 and 27 points in his team's first two NCAA tournament games, is the key.
Media attention engulfs Rams
SOUTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. — Rhode Island held a practice Tuesday, but Coach Jim Harrick said it was a waste of time. Too much is going on following the Rams' upset of No. 1 seed Kansas in the NCAA tournament.
Team tries to focus for Valparaiso game
The Associated Press
"Yesterday at practice, we had so much media there," Harrick said. "That day is such a distraction. I've been through it before. We just want to get away and get to St. Louis."
The media invasion included so many television cameras at a press
conference that a fuse blew.
Harrick, who coached a championship team at UCLA in 1995 but was fired a year later. is familiar
H
with the glare of cameras and the probing questions of reporters. But the attention is new to the young players.
"Certainly, this team has never had anything like this," athletic director Ron Petro said as workers cleaned the student union following the pea rally.
Guard Cuttino Mobley, one of the heroes of the first two victories, said he was eager to escape the telephone calls of well-wishers and to rest in
an anonymous hotel room.
Even the team's departure was raucous with about 1,000 fans screaming at a rally before the Rams left for the airport.
The players stood quietly, looking dazed and bashful, overwhelmed by the most intense publicity of their lives. Next up is a game against Valparaiso, whose coaching staff includes Harrick's son, Jim Jr.
Rather than deflect the attention, university and state officials have soaked it up.
Some, such as Gov. Lincoln Almond, are proud alumni of the school and longtime basketball fans. University president Robert Carothers said he hoped to parlay the media attention into improved fundraising, recruiting and school spirit.

Texas coach defends suspension
The Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas — Texas coach Tom Penders stood by his suspension of freshman guard Luke Axell yesterday, saying he is sorry Axell wants to transfer.
"I suspended Luke for academic reasons and academic reasons only." Penders said from a hotel in the Caribbean, where he is on vacation with his family.
"I don't have any ill feelings toward Luke at all. You want all your kids to be happy. In my 27 years of coaching, I've never had a player who wanted to transfer whom I wanted to stay and who I think has a great future. I'm sorry about it. But we just have to move on."
Axtell, the Longhorns' second-leading scorer this year, is out of town on spring break and could not be reached for comment yesterday.
He told the Austin American-Statesman that he had asked for and had received permission from Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds to transfer.
JOHN WELCH
Axtell told the newspaper that freshman guard Bernard Smith, sophomore Gabe Mukenek and 7-foot freshman Chris Mihm, a high school teammate of Axtell's at Austin Westlake, also
were unhappy with Penders and were considering leaving.
Penders: Players accuse him of abuse and dishonesty
Axtell accused Penders of verbal abuse, dishonesty and failing to develop players.
Penders said, "I won't even dignify those comments with an answer. It's like asking someone, 'When was the last time you beat your wife?' "
The four players met with Dodds on March 9 — the day after Texas, which struggled to a 14-17 record, was eliminated from the Big 12 Tournament.
Muoneke said yesterday that he had
become frustrated with Penders' coaching, adding that he did not think the coach had developed him enough. He said he had not made up his mind whether to leave.
BROOKLYN
"Maybe I'm the problem, but I don't think so," Muoneke said. "I'll probably make a decision in a week."
Muoneke said the players were not trying to force Penders out.
Axtell: Suspended for academic performance by coach
"I want to make it clear that everything is on an individual basis," Muoneke said. "Four players didn't come together and say, 'Let's do this.' Everybody has their own reasons."
say. Let's do this. own reasons."
Smith, a starter at point guard, said he planned to return to Texas next year. But if Mihm, Axtell and Muoneke left, he would rethink his future, he said.
“As of right now, I'm coming back next year,” Smith said. “But people are telling me that Luke and Chris and Gabe are leaving, that the young nucleus is breaking up.
Wuoneke: Frustrated by Penders' coaching decisions
in they leave, I would have to sit down with my parents and decide."
Mihm was out of town and could not be reached yesterday. His father, Gary, told the American-Statesman, "Chris has said he will consider transferring if the other guys left."
Anthony Goode, a backup sophomore point guard on the team, already said he was leaving because he was unhappy with his playing time.
Penders said Axell refused to go to study hall or meet with tutors and that his performance had been indicative of that. He said the players knew that they had to take care of academics before they could take care of basketball.
A. D.
The 6-foot-9 Axtell was second on the team in scoring with a 13.3 points per game average, led the team in three-point shooting (39 percent) and was second on the team in average minutes played per game (28.7).
Mihm: Rumors of his transfer began early in the season
Axtell talked to the

I think the program, and it starts at the top," said Axtell, who called the newspaper from west Texas, where he is on spring break. "Most everybody wants to get out. You can't play for somebody you don't respect, and you can't respect somebody who lies to you all the time."

smith: Not sure he would stay at Texas fothers transfer
Penders said the team would meet following spring break.
Earlier in the season. Mihm had been the subject of rumors about a possible transfer. But he became a bigger focus of the offense late in the season and said publicly that he was happy at Texas and looking forward to next year.
"I thought it was a very good year for our freshmen," Penders said. "I was pleased with all of their development. Bernard was learning a new position. Chris Mihm developed more and faster than any player I've ever seen. Luke had a great freshman year, and until he got hurt, had a chance for freshman of the year in the Big 12."
Athletic director quits at Oklahoma
Steve Owens trimmed staff, Sooner budget before resignation
The Associated Press
NORMAN, Okla. — Oklahoma athletic director Steve Owens is reportedly resigning to return to the private sector.
A woman answering the telephone in the Athletics Department yesterday said Bob King, a senior associate athletic director, called to say that he and Owens were resigning.
The woman, who declined to give her name, said, "He (King) told us we could tell people when they called."
King called shortly after a Norman radio station reported the resimations.
The university's sports information office and president's office did not have immediate information about the resignations.
Owens' son Steven Blake Owens, 25, committed suicide last fall and Owens took an extended leave of absence. He returned to his job Jan.1.
Oklahoma hired Owens, a former Heisman Trophy winner for the Sooners, in August 1996 to replace Donnie Duncan.
King, a former banker and Owens' longtime friend, was hired in December 1996 as a special assistant to the athletic director. In July, he was named senior associate athletic director.
Minor education officer director. Part of King's job was to reorganize the department and to cut costs.
ment was criticized for firing eight people, including assistant athletic director Jerry Petitbone. Assistant
Q
Last week, the Athletics Depart
athletic director Don Jimerson resigned.
Owens had hired Pettibone, a former Sooner player, in April 1997.
Pettibone was responsible for the football, men's basketball, wrestling and baseball programs. Owens said last week he would assume Pettibone's duties.
He said the university was try
almost $1.2 million.
"We're trying to get our operating costs down, and we're here for student-athletes, so we didn't think it would be fair to take away from them," Owens said last week.

Owens: Had been criticized for recent cuts to department
The univer
sity said Owens' restructuring plan would cut almost $1.2 million in costs with $850,000 saved by the staff reduction and $350,000 saved in travel expenses. The university plans to cut the expenses through more aggressive negotiations for travel packages.
Owens said the rising costs of athletics were a problem.
"We're not the only ones facing this type situation," he said. "We had to cover our costs, and the best plan was to cut administrative costs."

Tennessee tailor tops for pro athletes
Well-known clients include Pippen, MJ Ed 'Too Tall' Jones
The Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Randolph Williamson has two lives. At night, he works at a Nissan plant. During the day, he fields phone calls from Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Ed "Too Tall" Jones and other athletes.
Is he a part-time agent? No, he is a tailor.
"The fabric mills just told me the material for Michael Jordan's latest order of 108 shirts will be here soon," said Williamson, leaning back in his chair with a look of reassurance.
The debonair Jordan is particular about his shirts and trusts no one but Williamson to make the shirts. Williamson gets his fabric from Italy, Egypt, Hong Kong and Paris.
"He wants them in about two weeks. I intend to make sure everything is exactly right," Williamson said.
"His designs are always very interesting," said Jordan, who has a 17 1/2-inch neck, a 40-inch sleeve and an extra-long, 39 1/2-inch shirt tail.
"He has good ideas, and he takes direction well, too, and
that's important to me because I like to have a say." Jordan said.
Jordan met Williamson through former Chicago Bulls teammate Cliff Levingston. Pippen is another customer, as are Ed "Too Tall" Jones, Ahmad Rashad, Ron Jaworski and others.
Williamson has a schedule that would make the workaholic Jordan proud. Five nights a week Williamson is at the Nissan plant and most days he is at his Nashville shop. He also helps care for his elderly parents and spends time with his 5-year-old daughter.
Williamson, 43, became interested in clothes during high school.
"I do a good job of managing my time," Williamson said, "and I am a quick napper."
During his junior year, Nashville schools began busing students to comply with court-ordered desegregation, which meant Williamson and other football players on his team could be split up.
To prevent ta split, more than 30 team members signed up for Phillip "King" Solomon's men's tailoring class, which was not offered at any other school.
Jordan: He and his Bulls teammates keep custom clothing maker busy
One day, the principal visited the class and threatened to sideline Williamson if he did not finish his assignment of sewing
a shirt by week's end.
PETER JOHNSON
The next game was against a cross-town rival, and Williamson was not about to miss it. He worked diligently, but the night before the game he still was struggling with the collar and cuffs
and asked to see the shirt. Williamson replied proudly: "I'm wearing it."
Solomon allowed the flustered teen to come to his home for assistance but refused to do the work for him. Somehow, Williamson completed the shirt.
Williamson continued to hone his needle-and-thread skills while attending Tennessee State University, where he also played football. "Too Tall" Jones was a teammate, and Williamson began making custom jeans and other clothes for him.
When the principal came by Friday morning
Soon, other players started seeking the services of Williamson, who stitched
"He had the machine and stuff right there in his dormitory room," Jones said.
Williamson received a degree in clothing textiles from TSU but did not get right into tailoring. He played professional football in Canada, but his career was cut short by a knee injury.
between practices and could turn out custom-made suits in two weeks.
He returned to Nashville and taught high school — his classes included men's tailoring. He left teaching after a year and started his tailoring business in 1983.
Money was tight, so Williamson took a job at Nissan, where he drives a fork lift and ships parts, but he kept tailoring on the side.
Jerry Benfield, the chief executive officer at Nissan, heard about Williamson's work and now is a customer.
"He's a great guy." Benefield said. "He's a hard worker here as well as at his business."
Meantime, Jones helped spread the word about Williamson to athletes and slowly his clientele grew. Now, Williamson dreams of becoming a full-time designer.
"Anything is possible," he said. "I never thought I'd be making the stuff I do now for the people I do, but I am."
Teams free to discuss UCLA-Alabama game
The Associated Press
OVERLAND PARK — The NCAA, still reeling out botched officiating in the final seconds of the UCLA-Alabama women's tournament game, has not imposed a gag order stopping anybody from talking about the controversy, a representative said.
"It's been reported in a number of places that the NCAA had indicated to Alabama that they could not discuss the game. That's untrue," Wally Renfro told The Associated Press yesterday.
Renfro, director of public relations, said the misunderstanding may have resulted from an NCAA directive that indicated any questions about the game put to members of the women's selection committee should be referred to Jean Ponsetto, the committee chairman.
Few events in NCAA history have triggered such widespread controversy as the game at Alabama on Sunday that Alabama won 75-74 on a desperation shot at the buzzer.
UCLA had gone ahead on a free throw with 1.8 seconds left. UCLA missed the second free
throw, and Alabama rebounded and called time out with .8 seconds left.
After the time out, the Alabama player inbounding the ball moved from the fixed spot, which is a violation, but was not called.
Then Alabama threw the ball up the court, where it was touched by both a UCLA and an Alabama player.
At that point, the clock should have started, but it did not. The ball was recovered by Latoya Caudle, whose game-winning shot clearly was away from her hand before the buzzer sounded.
There have been calls for the NCAA to either bring all the players back to the court and replay the final 1.8 seconds or to award the victory to UCLA.
"By rule, the jurisdiction of the officials lasts from 15 minutes before the start of the game until they leave the court after the game, which ends their jurisdiction, ends the game and approves the score," Renfro said. "What happened was very unfortunate."
The three officials have been told they will not work any more tournament games this year.

STDs could burn students' break
By Lisa Stevens John
ljohn@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
From sunburns to sexually transmitted diseases, spring break can harbor many problems for students who place themselves in precarious situations.
After enduring months of cloudy winter weather, it might be tempting to spend hours on the warm sands of a sunny beach next week. But one University of Kansas student said she learned the hard way not to fall asleep on the beach.
Jill Schneebeck, Des Moines,
Iowa, senior, said she and her
mother traveled to Hawaii during
spring break three years ago.
"I caked myself with baby oil, laid out on the beach and slept for three hours," Schinebeck said. "I got so sunburned that I couldn't walk for three days, my skin was tight all over, and I couldn't
unbend my knees or elbows."
Her mother had spent the same amount of time on the beach as Schneebeck but had used a sunscreen with an SPF of 45. While her mother toured Hawaii, Schneebeck spent two days alone in a darkened hotel room, slathering herself with aloe lotion.
Even today she is reminded of the sunburn.
Randall Rock, physician and chief of staff of Watkins Health Center, said whether traveling to the beach or to the mountains, students should carry and use sunscreen. The reflective qualities of water and snow increase the extent of harmful rays, he said.
"There are bald spots on my arms where the hair was singed and didn't grow out," Schneebeck said.
Rock said managing acute sunburns included drinking plenty of
fluids to repenish the moisture in the skin, applying moisturizer, and using an antibacterial soap to prevent infections. He suggested using Ibuprofen to stop the pain and Benadryl to block the itching and to give a mild sedative effect
Rock said time usually was the best healer of sunburns.
In addition to being informed about harmful sunlight during spring break, students also should be informed of sexually transmitted diseases, Rock said.
"This is traditionally because people make choices during spring break that put them at an increased risk," he said.
"Unfortunately, we do have an increase in the number of visits with regard to sexually transmitted diseases following spring break," Rock said.
Excessive alcohol use further increases the danger of STDs and
unwanted pregnancies, and it impairs an individual's judgment, Rock said.
Unwanted souwenirs connected with free-wheeling spring break behavior include the human papiloma virus (HPV), herpes, gonorrhea, chlamydia and HIV, Rock said.
Any of these diseases, if left untreated, could affect or complicate fertility or future pregnancies and may add extra challenges to relationships, Rock said.
He said that while condoms might help prevent some STDs, they are only a partial answer.
"The term 'safe sex' is a misnomer," Rock said. "The latex of the condoms covers a limited portion of the anatomy. Herpes, and HPV may be transmitted by touching and skin to skin contact without experiencing sexual intercourse."
Bill might take benefits from GTAs
...
By Susie Gura and Brandon Coppele
sgura@kansan.com
bcapple@kansan.com
Kansas staff writers
The bill would overrule the State Employees Health Care Commission's decision that GTAs who work 750 hours annually qualify for employer-provided health care benefits. The bill would raise the annual requirement to 1,000 hours.
State employees who work less than 1,000 hours annually are considered part-time and do not qualify for benefits.
The chairman of the Kansas Senate Ways and Means committee has proposed a bill to disqualify most graduate teaching assistants from eligibility for University-provided health insurance.
Sen. Dave Kerr, R-Hutchinson, drafted the bill in response to the University's request for state funds to pay for employer-provided GTA health benefits.
Mark Horowitz, Graduate Teaching Assistant Coalition president, said GTAC was concerned with the proposal.
"Our thought was that GTAs are students first, and they're teaching class as an additional role," he said. "It's a valuable role, but we're not clear that it qualifies to be employees with full license."
Kerr said GTAs should not receive benefits for which other part-time state employees do not qualify.
GTAC is speaking with other Board of Regents schools about the health care plan because it affects all six schools.
"GTAs teach one-fourth of the courses at KU and it is a terrible message for the Legislature to send to the state of Kansas to deny the basic compensation." he said.
"I believe that the University of Kansas is morally committed to support GTAs." Horowitz said.
Jeannette Johnson, assistant to the provost, said the University was behind the GTAs and the fight for health care.
"The recommendation is very distressing to us," she said. "It is a total contradiction to what we want."
The University also will be at a disadvantage if the bills pass because it will not allow the University to recruit graduate students.
"We have nothing to protest literally," Mathis said. "If it is put before the House, we will be in Topeka protesting."
Stephen Mathis, GTA in Western Civilization, said there was nothing GTAs could do because it was just a proposal.
"It is a crippling idea for institutions," Johnson said.

Police probing relations in Naismith Hall thefts
Three thefts this month on the same floor of Nismith Hall could be related, according to Lawrence police.
"It looks like they may be connected," he said.
Sgt. George Wheeler said the thefts occurred in second-floor rooms within five doors of one another. He said two of the thefts happened on the same day.
Police have identified a suspect, but the suspect has not been interviewed and no arrest has been made, he said.
Diamond earrings were stolen from a room between 11:30 a.m. and noon March 2. Wheeler said.
Between 9:45 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. March 13, $15 was stolen from a different room, Wheeler said.
The other theft, from a third room, also occurred on March 13, but Wheeler said the officer's report was not complete yet, and no information could be released.
The victim of monetary theft said Naismith Hall's security was adequate, and the problem originated elsewhere.
"I don't feel threatened at all," the resi dent said. "I just wish I had my money back.
Sandy Hill, Naismith Hall general manager, declined to comment until police completed the investigation.
Four Lawrence residents caught in forgery attempt
Four Lawrence residents were arrested Wednesday in connection with an attempted forgery. Lawrence said
and forgivingly, Lawrence police said. Sgt. Gwane Wheeler said one suspect is still in jail.
He said the four entered Quick Cash,
1401 W. Sixth St., early Wednesday afternoon and tried to cash a check. He said
the clerk was suspicious of the four and called the police.
"When we arrived, we found that these people were involved in attempting to cash a stolen check," Wheeler said.
He said the check had been stolen from an Ottawa resident but could not confirm its value.
The individuals were interviewed before they were arrested.
Two of the individuals were arrested on single counts of conspiracy to commit forgery. A third suspect was arrested on a count of possession of stolen property and forgery.
The individual in jail is being held on one count of forgery, one count of conspiracy to commit forgery and 18 counts of possession of stolen property.
Wheeler could not identify what the stolen property was.
"A lot of times in cases like this, the property is other stolen checks," he said.
Lawrence man arrested for cocaine possession
A Lawrence resident was arrested for possession of crack cocaine with intent to sell yesterday morning, Lawrence police said. Before the man was arrested, he tried to flee the scene on foot.
The 25-year-old Lawrence man, was arrested at 1:39 a.m. in Veteran's Park at 19th and Ohio streets, said Sgt. George Wheeler.
"One of our officers approached him to ask him what he was doing in the park at that hour, and he started running." Wheeler said.
He said the officer found this behavior suspicious and pursued the man.
"While running, he put his hands in his pockets, pulled them out, and out came a white powder substance." Wheeler said.
the officer caught and arrested the man, Wheeler said. Police recovered 5.5 grams of the powder, which tests showed to be

ROTC Drill Team scores high honors in conference
The University of Kansas Naval ROTC Drill Team placed first in the Big 12 at the Invitational Drill Meet Saturday at the University of Colorado.
The meet consisted of three events: a drill unit competition, a rifle competition and a pistol competition. Kansas only entered in one event and still scored high enough to finish third overall.
Kansas did not enter teams in the rife or pistol events because it does not have a firing range to hold practices on campus, Bliss said.
"It was the highest I've ever seen a drill unit score," said Staff Sgt. N. Lee Bliss, Jr.
"They scored a 97.3, and the average score was 75-80."
The drill unit was judged on military discipline, the execution of orders and the ability of a commander to effectively move a unit from one point to the next following specific maneuvers.

Old books to receive facelifts at new laboratory
Thanks to the new conservation laboratory dedicated yesterday in the name of Jerry and Katherine Stannard, thousands of old or damaged books and materials
from the University's libraries will receive the special care they require. The laboratory, located in a newly renovated space on the first floor of the library, cost more than $200,000, which included remodeling and new equipment.
About $104, 000 was raised from private donors, such as the Stannards, and $120, 000 came from library fines.
Jerry Stannard (1926-1988) was a professor of history at the University from 1967 until shortly before his death.
A reception took place at the Adams Alumni Center yesterday at 3 p.m. to honor the Stannards and other donors. Katherine Stannard attended the reception with her family. She said that the laboratory was special to her because the staff would be repairing the very books with which her her husband had worked.
Brian Baird, preservation librarian, said that the laboratory was essential in keeping the libraries' collections in good condition for future generations.
"Ninety percent of the collection is irreplaceable, in the sense that you can't go out and buy a new one. They are out of print." Baird said. "We have to keep what we have in usable condition."
That's where Meg Brown, conservator, comes in. Brown, along with 13 student assistants, is in charge of working on the damaged books.
Brown was hired in October as the first conservator for the University. Prior to her arrival, the library employed a book repair worker, but with Brown's knowledge and the new equipment, she said they would be able to service about 10 to 20 times more materials.
Brown said that besides the old and rare books that were preserved in the Spencer Research Library, there were a number of books that were considered medium-rare, which she was working to conserve.
The laboratory will have an open house on Thursday, April 30.

House approves higher education reform proposal
By Brandon Copley
hcopley@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The plan to reform the system of higher education received the overwhelming approval of the House of Representatives yesterday.
The resolution adopted by the House would submit to Kansas voters a constitutional amendment to replace the Board of Regents with a Council on Higher Education. Because it would amend the constitution, the resolution required a two-thirds majority, or 84 votes.
The House voted 97-25 in favor of the resolution after less than an hour of debate.
Rep. David Adkins, R-Leawood, chairman of the committee that drafted the plan, said the margin of passage would force the Senate and Gov. Bill Graves to take a hard look at the plan.
"It definitely enhances the plan's momentum going to the Senate," he said. "It sends a clear message to the Senate and to the Governor that reform is no longer something we just talk about."
Mike Matson, Graves' press secretary, said the governor would continue to follow the plan but its passage in the House did not change his position.
"The governor's position has been and will continue to be that the plan should stand or fall on its own merits," Matson said.
A constitutional amendment does not require the governor's signature.
Rep. Barbara Ballard, D-Lawrence, voted against the plan. After the vote she said the plan offered the University of Kansas a promise of more money, but not a guarantee. She also said her constituents thought the Regents should not be abolished.
"Very few people have criticized the work the Board of Regents has done," she said. "I believe there are things we can do better for education in Kansas, but not at the expense of the Regents."
Rep. Troy Findley, D-Lawrence, also voted against the plan.
Rep. Tom Sloan, R-Lawrence, voted for the plan but spoke in favor of an amendment that would bring community colleges within the council's jurisdiction. That amendment failed.
Under the approved plan, the Council would exercise only coordinating powers of community colleges.

Travel dangers threaten trips
Insurance protects cautious travelers
By Graham K. Johnson
gjohnson@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Todd Kice, Wichita graduate student, did not think he would be victimized while on vacation, but he was.
"The first emotion I had was just rage," he said. "I felt so mad because I knew what was about to happen."
Kice was kidnapped and robbed in the middle of Mexico City. Last summer, during his trip, Kice was tricked into a fake cab, held captive and robbed by a team of muggers. Kice, who has traveled all over South America and Central America, said, like many tourists, he had mistakenly thought he was impervious to becoming a victim of travel-related crime.
tourists get into," Kice said. "It was a wake up call."
Kice said he realized travelers cannot be too careful and his mistakes could be a lesson for others. Probably his first mistake was getting into the cab alone at 1 a.m. after a night of drinking and darts. Kice said.
Soon, he found himself held down by two men, while a third man went through his wallet, Kice said. He said he soon discovered his second mistake.
"They went through my wallet and I had an ATM card," Kice said. "Ironically, that afternoon, my friend had told me to leave my credit card in the hotel in a safe deposit box."
The robbers asked for his PIN number. He gave them a false one because he was afraid if they had his number they would hold him captive longer, and he would not be able to close the account. But Kice, who has been mugged several times during his travels, said he does not recommend resisting in most cases of robbery.
worth getting shot or hurt for it," he said.
"Give them your money, it's not
Kice said he knew he had to get away, because he had been told most kidnapping victims were killed. He eventually escaped with minor bruises and a loss of $300. Kice said it was a violent but cheap lesson to learn about the importance of following guidelines that can help keep your belongings safe.
Dan Wise, manager of Council Travel, 622 W. 12th St., said students might want to come to Council Travel or the Student Union Activities Box Office and apply for an International Student Identification Card. The card makes available cheaper rates for hotels and transportation and also a minimal amount of insurance.
"It's a good idea to buy additional insurance especially if your health plan doesn't cover you outside of the country." Wise said.
Kice said planning for unexpected situations would help people respond in a cool-headed manner.

He said although he tried not to, he still thought about the robbery in Mexico.
"I just think about sitting between those two guys," Kice said. "It's still terrifying to me."
Students find alternatives to typical break
By Marcelo Vilela
mvilela@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Unlike many University of Kansas students, Juliana Moreira is not going to spend her spring break sleeping or drinking on the beach.
Moreira, Petrolina, Brazil, sophmore, will do volunteer work on beautification with Hispanic communities in El Paso, Texas. She will volunteer through the University's Alternative Spring Break program, and no drinking is allowed.
"Since I came to the U.S., I realized it's not the dreamland people think it is," Moreira said. "And doing this kind of work makes you feel useful. It fulfills you, and if everyone gives a little bit, it's worth it."
Alternative Spring Break, in its fourth year at the University, is organized by the Center of Community Outreach.
The Center spends $10,500 on the program, which includes food, travel, and lodging expenses.
About 50 students registered for the program this year. Last year, about 80 students volunteered. The Center will begin taking registrations for next year's Alternative Spring Break in October.
Once enrolled in the class, students learn the skills they will need in the community and what the expectations are of the people at the

work sites.
This year, groups will go to Detroit; El Paso; Philadelphia; Cleveland; Harlem, N.Y.; Kirtland, Ariz.; and Washington. Most groups will leave for their sites early tomorrow.
Emily Heath, Oskaloosa junior and Center for Community Outreach co-director, said each trip focused on different social issues.
"No matter where you go, you're going to work hard — around 40 hours a week," Heath said.
Heath is going to Detroit, where she said the focus would be on violence and conflict resolution. Last year, Heath spent her Alternative Spring Break in Philadelphia, across the street from a crack house and surrounded by drug dealers.
"This program helps you learn a lot about yourself," Heath said. "I learned that what you see in the news is real, those things really happen."
Stacey Mann, Lawrence junior, took an Alternative Spring Break last year in Detroit. She worked educating urban youth and aiding public schools.
"It was the best experience of my life," Mann said. "It was eye-opening and life-changing. The kids I helped provided me with some wonderful lessons."
Heath said the program placed college students in environments they had not experienced.
"You can't change the world in a week," Heath said. "But you're definitely making an impact."

Failure to remove Revue skit sent University down the wrong path
The University of Kansas has reached a fork in the road. And it has taken the wrong path.
The skit "Don't Drink the Water" should have been removed at the Rock Chalk Revue.
The events surrounding the skit, which was protested by minority student organizations, faculty and other students, have served only to illuminate a growing disdain by minority groups about their treatment on campus. There are many different views about what happened at the Revue, and there are many opinions about whether the material in the skit was appropriate. One fact that cannot be disputed was that minorities were mad and they wanted to let the rest of the University know it.
Students who stand by the Revue's
decision to keep the skit cite the importance of free speech and expression, especially in an academic setting. They also note that the Revue does a tremendous amount of good for local charities by donating thousands of dollars and hours towards community service. Students who believe that the decision was irresponsible point to the fact that no minorities were consulted early in the skit selection process. They also point out the negative cultural stereotypes that they believe the play promoted. These are all convincing arguments to some extent.
We know the decision, but have we seen the full range of consequences? What do we sacrifice as a community when we choose financial benefit instead of cultural sensitivity? What do
we gain by trading human respect for legal rhetoric? How do we achieve any of our goals as a community of people by ignoring brotherhood for the self-righteousness of charity? No one attacks financial aid to the needy or legal rights or charity, but we must recognize that people matter because they are people, not because they are people who need help.
We cannot say that we want to help and then hurt. We cannot accept that the end justifies the means. We cannot take the easy high road of majority privilege, but instead we should pursue the low road of equality. The University reached that fork in the road at the Revue. The skit should have been removed. When it wasn't, we took the wrong path.
Leonard West for the editorial board
If vacationing abroad, avoid drug use
Students should resist the temptation to use drugs if their spring break travel plans include a trip out of the country. The risk of foreign legal trouble is far too high for a few hours of drug-induced entertainment.
We don't want to sound as if we are anti-drug. That is a personal decision all students must make for themselves. But students traveling abroad have more factors affecting their decision than recreational drug users who stay inside American borders.
For one thing, if you get caught using or possessing drugs in the United States, you have an extreme advantage: You are in the United States. Here, students would be protected by the Constitution and a legal system that presumes innocence. Abroad, students are not necessarily afforded those same rights.
Second, getting caught at home means that your resources — family, money and legal advice — are accessible by a phone call. Abroad, that luxury could vanish. Even though a consular officer of the United States government could visit you in jail, he or she could not help get you out or otherwise interfere with the judicial process. And flying in an expert in international law will be a lot more expensive than hiring one of those brummagem barrists who advertises during World Wrestling Federation matches.
Finally, despite all the Dateline specials and editorsials about problems such as overcrowding, American jails are veritable Marriots compared to some foreign jails.
ment's Bureau of Consular Affairs, there are increased efforts in foreign countries to stop the flow of narcotic traffic and use. If you think there is no danger in buying a little pot for the evening, think again. Americans traveling abroad have been arrested for possessing as little as a gram of marijuana.
American tourists traveling abroad are not immune from the laws of other countries. Ignorance is no excuse, and the State Department has warned that it is possible to spend months or even years in foreign jails awaiting pretrial matters about narcotics cases.
According to the U.S.State Depart
So resist the temptation to use drugs abroad. Wait until you're back on American soil to smoke another country's grass. We won't mind if you get arrested here.

Perspective
Rock Chalk Revue skit creators tell their side
We, the directors who own the protested Rock Chalk Revue skit, "Don't Drink the Water", wish to explain ourselves, for our side of this controversy has not been adequately represented. We are not defending our show because of the time, effort, community service or money our members and organizations had invested in the skit. Instead, we simply wish to voice our stance and our concerns about the issue.
First, the purpose of our show was not to offend or exploit, but rather to accomplish the opposite. We wanted to make a small social commentary against the exploitation of other people or places with a skit in Rock Chalk. Our intent was to preserve the essence of indigenous cultures, the way they existed before imperialists destroyed their way of life. In fact, the antagonist in our show was modeled after the very "colonialist" stereotypes of which we've been accused. Is it wrong to expose to the University community a character's evil intent, especially if he is the show's antagonist?
Theater is a forum for expressing such inhumanities.
Second, our belief in freedom of speech protects our right to support and perform our show, as well as the right for all people to share their viewpoints. Both sides should have equal voices in disseminating their opinions. However, the disruption of our show last Thursday night threatened everyone's freedom of speech. It is espe-
It is not productive to let biases and anger cloud the channels of communication. To do so could further inflame relations among the University's communities. We implore all those concerned to try to look at the issue from all perspectives. We are striving to do the same. We have learned from this experience and hope that future dialogues will result in a better understanding by all concerned.
Finally, as an effort in good faith, we met with those groups voicing dissatisfaction with our show, and happily made changes that they requested. We and Rock Chalk Revue thought the changes we made were fair and appropriate considering that the complaint was submitted less than 48 hours before show time.

'Scream When You Burn' and never be satiated
The title of this column is filched from a short story of the same name by Charles Bukowski. Those of you familiar with Bukowski know that he was a
champion drinker and a pretty good writer. Those of you who aren't should read him, so long as you maintain a healthy interest in his words. Otherwise, a pint of vodka might end up replacing a bowl of Fruit Loops or a bagel as your typical breakfast fare.
One of Bukowski's mantras was the phrase, "scream when you burn." I love this. I have adopted it as my own.
MARK PATRICK
Ryan Devlin opinion @ kansan.com
What made Coltrane spectacular was a burning desire for a truth he knew he would likely never possess. To most people, the idea of exercising such a desire seems incomparably futile. But Coltrane explored the gap between desire and attainment and found uncertainty. He also found expression, and expression transformed uncertainty from something painful and threatening into something exhilarating. He realized that it wasn't the destination of the journey that mattered, it was how he traveled.
John Coltrane, the greatest tenor saxophonist ever to grace humanity, exemplified this idea in his art. It is 2 a.m., and Coltrane is weaving a tapestry of madness and passion with his music, in my room. Soon my record player will explode.
"The truest mark of greatness is insatiability."
Henry Fielding.
Insatiability. It's what makes Fielding, Contrane, Bukowski, and countless others shine like quarters bathed in kerosene on a sunny August afternoon on the pavement of history.
To a greater or lesser extent, insatiability motivates most of our actions, both noble and ignoble. It propels us all. It is present in the CEOs of major corporations and in the voices of the heads of labor unions. It's what compels someone to go into the Gap and buy six sweaters they don't need. It's what makes that woman on Oprah go thousands of dollars in debt buying commemorative
plates on the Home Shopping Network. It is in the eyes of men of God and the sinners they condemn alike. It propels Bill Clinton in his alleged quest for daring sexual exploits with White House interns and volunteers, as well as in his actions as leader of the most powerful nation in the world. It is present in our need to be loved or feared. It is in the voices of those who fight for social justice and those who preach hatred. It is in the voices of our greatest teachers. It is in the eyes of our best students. It's what drives one student to seek a 4.0 in school and another, or perhaps the same student, to drink until he passes out in the back of a convertible Cadillac cruising down a main strip in South Padre, Texas, during spring break.
Insatiability is in the hearts of entertainers and sports heroes. It's what propels Roy Williams and Paul Pierce, Marian Washington and Lynn Pride, to chase a national championship year after year, regardless of the result. Michael Jordan is insatiability. It is in the eyes of the single mother. It makes the idiot who lives across the alley from me scream pointlessly from his balcony at 2 a.m. Insatiability is why I write this column.
There is a frustration which arises from insatiability and uncertainty, a frustration that makes our souls burn like those shiny quarters on the asphalt. It is in the act of screaming that we take the pain of a burning soul away.
Here's a secret: We are never satisfied. We never will be. This is the human condition, and it's alright. Uncertainty and insatiability are the qualities that make life worth living. The world is perfectly imperfect. The fact that we strive for perfection is the greatest quality we possess, even if our struggle fails, as it often is destined to do. This is how greatness is achieved. It is the beginning of expression.
Keep in mind that it isn't necessarily to what end you scream, but how you do it.
Today as I head north on i-35 toward the Canadian border, I'll be burning and screaming all the way.
During spring break, listen to the qualities of other people's screams. Listen to the qualities of your own.

Feedback
Students should keep an eye on president
Yesterday's article about Student Body President Scott Sullivan's attempted veto of a piece of Student Senate legislation perpetuated an offheld misconception that I feel it necessary to refute.
The spin of the story centered on the supposed prevalence of "personal attacks" in the debate surrounding the issue.
When I look up personal in the dictionary, the definition I find says: "concerning a
particular person and his or her private [emphasis mine] business, interests, or activities."
Please understand that as student body president, Scott Sullivan is an elected representative and, as such, can and should be held responsible and called-out for his action and missteps while in office. This is what was done Wednesday night in Senate and it was both a proper and necessary course of action to take.
Finally, I would like to encourage others to look more critically at the actions
taken by Sullivan on their behalf. However, I do recognize that as a senator and political activist I am in a better position to take certain responsibility upon myself, I, and others, will continue to fulfill this role until Senate and its officers become truly representative, as they are meant to be. Please take it upon yourself to vote in Senate elections April 15 and 16.

Senate adds minority seats
By Melissa Ngo
nmgno@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Minority representation on Student Senate will increase next fall.
Senate passed a bill Wednesday night to add seats for Black Student Union, Native American Student Association, Hispanic American Leadership Organization, Asian American Student Union and KU Queers and Allies.
"I's historic," said Charmain Billy, NASA member. "We were in the trenches and at the meeting for over six hours to get this."
Sandé Beauboureuf, BSU president,
said this was a big step for the minority organizations.
"The groups that asked for representation have historically been known to be under represented or misrepresented," Beauboeuf said. "Black Student Union is the main focal point for African-Americans on campus and should be a part of Student Senate."
Rachel Schwartz, Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, was one of two senators who voted against the bill because it contained vague criteria for which organizations could have a Senate seat.
"Queers and Allies got a seat. Why didn't KU Hillel?" she asked. "How do we distingush?"
giving the five seats to the Multicultural Resource Center board, which would then choose the representatives from applicants. The amendment failed.
Schwartz sponsored an amendment
Yan Zeng, AASU president, said AASU was excited about receiving the seat.
"This would have made the representatives more responsible to minority students as a collective, not just to individual minority student groups," Schwartz said.
"Now Senate is going to have a voice from minority groups," Zeng said. "They'll have our opinions no matter what. They won't have to contact us like they do now to get our opinions."

GOP prepares for possible hearings
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — House Republicans struggled internally yesterday to shape their response to any impeachment material being readied by Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr. Democrats accused them of acting hastily and for partisan purposes.
"Premature' would be a gentle way of expressing some mystification of why they would leap to that process," said White House representative Mike McCurry as Republicans discussed the possibility of a small group of lawmakers reviewing Starr's evidence before he formally delivers it to Congress.
"I have not been consulted in this matter, therefore, I question their assertion of wanting to approach this issue in a bipartisan fashion," said House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt.
For their part, Republicans said no procedural decisions would be made until Starr made a referral of information in his investigation into a variety of areas.
In an unusual joint statement, Speaker Newt Ginghini and Rep. Henry Hyde, RIII., Judiciary Committee chairman, outlined several options in the event Starr notifies them he has prepared evidence of an impeachable offense.
"Our principal concern — if an investigation is warranted — is to protect the innocent while simultaneously getting to the truth," the two lawmakers added.

Step up to the mike: Age not a factor
Radio station KAW broadcasts amateur acts by teens and KU students

Jesse Miller usually rides his bike or hangs out with friends after school. But on Wednesdays, the 14-year-old Central Junior High student spins tunes on his radio show, "The Mosh Pit."
Many KU students also have begun amateur radio shows on KAW 88.9 FM since the station's inception last year.
Despite ongoing licensing battles with the Federal Communications Commission, the station celebrated its first anniversary on March 9.
The community radio station, which thrives on an eclectic mix of spoken and musical shows, has more than 60 disc jockeys with segments ranging from 30 minutes to two hours.
The program schedule includes a wide range of shows including "Animal Tales," featuring music and poems about animals and by animals; "Inside Lawrence," which explores local issues, and "Borrowed Goods," which highlights music from the private collections of community members.
Other curious show titles include "Beautiful Songs for Ugly Children," "Spooky Death Music Hour," and "The Enchanted Cesspool."
Jesse first conceived the idea for "The Mosh Pit" after his dad, Tim Miller, started a show called "Less Corn and More Hell."
"I just thought it would be really cool," Jesse said. "I wanted to do it, but I didn't really think they'd let me because I was a kid."
Tim Miller said that KAW filled a vital gap in the community by giving voice to ideas that might not otherwise be heard.
He said that it was not the presentation of the programs that mattered but their content.
"I think it's great that we have real community access, and that kids can have shows, and really almost anyone can have a show there." Tim Miller said.
The title of Tim Miller's show came from a historical speech given by populist Mary Elizabeth Lease who said, "What the farmers of Kansas need farm and more hell."
"Less Corn and More Hell" is predominantly a political talk show that discusses social issues, literature and the arts.
"It's pretty scattered and disorganized in some ways and that's what makes it beautiful," Tim Miller said.
"The Mosh Pit," one of the station's most popular shows, is all about rockin' and having fun.
Inside the mosh pit
On a recent Wednesday afternoon, Jesse and two friends arrived at the station armed with candy and cookies, ready to expose Lawrence listeners to alternative music, sports news, and some good old junior high humor.
"Good afternoon. Hey, hey kids! This is the Mosh Pit, Lawrence's radio show for kids and teenagers." Jesse said before playing the first tune "No Regrets" by Vibrolush.
Jesse and his friends, Lee Dunfield,14, and Karl Byleen-Higley, 13, stumped over each other to access the microphone, reading public service announcements and interjecting random thoughts.
Lee, a regular on the show, gave a sports report about college basketball, reciting facts and figures from memory.
"Lee talks about college basketball: part 47," Karl ioked. "It's like the Rocky movies."
In his regular commentary segment called "the gripe," Lee attacked the motives of the NBA and its players. "In my opinion, they're just a bunch of stuck
up rich guys who want more money and popularity." Lee said.
The show's format is loose and the philosophy simple: Anything goes as long as it's entertaining and gets a laugh from one of the three.
THE ORIGINAL TRANSFER OF THE NEW YORK STUDIO RECORDING PROJECT.
Jesse said he liked the freedom that KAW allowed him and his guests in expressing themselves through music and opinions.
MARCO ZIMANO
"We can do almost anything we want on the air." Jesse said.
Ringo Witkowski, Wayne, Neb., senior, cues up a track during the "Spoken Blurb Show." Witkowski's show features commentary and comedy and focuses on political and social issues.
"It's not really the alternative music that's really mainstream music, but really alternative rock, ska and punk," Jesse said. "We try not to play too much of the same music as the other radio stations, like the popular radio stations, the commercial ones."
The music played on "The Mosh Pit" is what Jesse likes to call "alternative alternative."
Some of Jesse's favorite bands are the Mommy-heads. Ben Folds Five and They Might Be Giants.
Jesse said he thought his show attracted a variety of listeners. "A lot of kids listen to it," he said. "But, also some college students and adults listen to it."
In addition to listeners' support, local businesses have helped "The Mosh Pit." A local music store loans Jesse two CDs each week to play on his show.

Jesse has also been able to give away donated tickets for concerts, including the Jayhawk Music Festival, Weezer and Reel Big Fish. Musical guests have appeared on the show, including Frogpond and Uncle Dirty Toes.
"To listen to that and hear what kids are doing and what they think and what they're into, I just think it's great," Wilke said.
"I just play different women singers, songwriters or instrumentalists," she said. "I do women's world music also, like Latin American women and African women."
Wilkey said that KAW contributed an important service to the community by providing a forum for anyone to articulate their views.
Wilkey also has a show on KAW called "Voices of the Woman."

"I can actually get on and feel free to voice my perspectives and opinions," Wilkey said. "It's so available to everyone."
Big kids play too
Erin Wilkey, Newton junior, said she enjoyed listening to Jesse's show.

Ringo Witkowski, Wayne, Neb., sophomore, has also taken advantage of the opportunity to express himself on the air. Witkowski's program is called "The Spoken Blurb Show" and highlights one or two artists each week. Witkowski plays spoken word selections by poets, activists, musicians and public speakers, often focusing on political and social topics.
Witkowski said he did not think of "The Spoken Blurb Show" as his own radio show, but as a contribution to the members of the community.
Featured artists have included Jello Biafra and Noam Chomsky.
"I really enjoy giving this information to other people," he said. "If people are listening, I think it could possibly do some good."

Arkansas awaits KU women
Defense, guards worry Washington
By Kevin C. Wilson
Kansan sportswriter
Stunning athleticism, spectacular perimeter play and a frantic-pressure defense.
All of these things worry Kansas women's basketball coach Marian Washington when she thinks about playing Arkansas in the Sweet 16.
The Jayhawks will meet the Razorbacks at approximately 11:30 p.m. tomorrow in Oakland, Calif.
"We're going to be facing an outstanding program in Arkansas," Washington said. "They are a team which likes to run, which may or may not help us."
Arkansas, 20-10 overall, plays an uptempo style that results in 75.5 points per
game, compared to Kansas's season average of 66.2.
Washington said Arkansas had a strong outside game and all three of the team's main perimeter players were great spot-up shooters. Three of the Razorback's top four scorers are at the guard position, with only forward Karyn Karlin (15.5 ppp) producing more than her backcourt teammates.
Sytia Messer (12.1), Christy Smith (11.2) and Wendi Willits (7.2) make up the potent Arkansas guard attack.
Washington said she was also impressed with the Razorbacks perimeter defense.
"Their pressure defense is what I think has created a lot of problems for most of their opponents." Washington said. "We're going to have to be ready for that."
The Razorbacks average 10 steals per game and their defense forces opponents into 23.4 turnovers per game.
need to maintain their composure if they were to survive the Arkansas press.
"We need to take care of the basketball and find a way to score," Washington said. "We are going to try and go inside on them and crash the boards."
Washington said her players would
Center Nakia Sanford said she knew the game would be tough.
"Both of our teams win with defense, so I know its going to be a defensive battle," Sanford said.
Guard Jennifer Jackson said the Jayhawks would be ready to play no matter what kind of a game Arkansas played.
"Having to play against a new team every night in the Big 12 has exposed us to every kind of team," Jackson said. "It prepared us well for the tournament."
And the Jayhawks are not ready to bow out of the tournament yet.
"We came in as a number five seed, so we were expected to lose in the second round." Jackson said. "Every game now is like a bonus."

Young players lead Jayhawks in Sweet 16
Kansan sportswriter
By Kevin C. Wilson
Instead, the Jayhawks are in the Sweet 16.
This was supposed to be a rebuilding year for the Kansas women's basketball team.
Kansas, 23-8 overall, has exceeded expectations despite having only one senior on the roster.
Washington said. "We can still improve."
"I don't think we have peaked yet,"
"I am so happy and so proud of this young group," said coach Marlan Washington. "In the beginning of the season, I had to face the reality that we had a lot of young, inexperienced people. For them to come through like this is unbelievable."
Washington said she did not even think that the Jayhawks had played their best basketball of the season.
The Jayhawks, who start two freshmen and a sophomore along with two juniors, have even omitted their youth to their advantage this season.
"Sometimes I think it helps," Washington said. "They have been a team that has been very disciplined. There are so many new players on our squad. Now the rivalries that we've had over the years don't mean a lot to them."
Freshman guard Jennifer Jackson said her age had not affected her ability on the court this season.

"I've never felt like a freshman," Jackson said. "To be able to play this much my first year has been exciting."
"A few of my players came to me and asked how we got to the court from the court."
At times it has also been confusing for some of the freshmen, as it was when they traveled to Colorado earlier this season.
locker room," she said.
Once they actually stepped on the court, the young Jayhawks had relatively few problems this year.
Junior center Nakia Sanford said a player's year in school was irrelevant to her performance on the court.
"Age doesn't have anything to do with how you play." Sanford said. "We all want to win—who wants to rebuild?"
According to Washington and her players, rebuilding was not an option.
"These women came to Kansas believing they were coming to a program concerned about winning," Washington said. "They could have played anywhere but they were convinced that this was a great place to play college basketball. I think they are probably happy about their decisions now."
All-American track stars vault into spring season
They have broken school records and have some of the top marks in the nation. They competed last weekend at the NCAA 'indoor Track and Field Championships in Indianapolis and are now All-Americans.
By Angela Johnson
Kansan sportswriter
"I really don't know what to think of it," Russell said of his All-American status. "I just concentrate on the next meet and shoot to do my best."
But it is not a big deal to Andrea Branson, Candy Mason and Scott Russell.
Right now, it is just beginning. Russell became Kansas' first All-American in the 35-pound weight throw. The Windsor, Ontario, freshman finished second, throwing 67-6 1/4.
Russell said the accomplishments would be more significant after his collegiate career ended.

Mason and Branson finished second and fifth, respectively, in the pole vault. Mason tied her school and conference record, jumping 12-7 1/2. Branson, Leawood freshman, jumped her season-best 12-1 1/2inches.
"I went in with the goal of going at least 12 feet." Branson said.
Branson has been vaulting for four years. During her senior year at Shawnee Mission East High School,

Branson was named the Female Track Athlete of the Year by the Kansas City Star and the Overland Park Sun.
Branson said she competed in the pole vault because it was fun.
"Ilike the feeling of being upside down," she said.
The pole vault was an inaugural women's event at nationals this year.

Branson: Enjoys upside-down aspect of pole vaulting
"I think a lot of people were surprised to see women pole vaulters at national," Mason said. "There's a misconception that you have to have a lot of strength for the pole vault, but it's more in technique."
As a 5-foot-8-inch woman weighing 135
pounds, the All- American is smaller than most of her competitors.
"A guy from the media came up to me at nationals and said, 'I see you haven't put on any weight,'" Mason said. "I've weighed the same since I was a sophomore in high school. I've tried so hard to put on weight which is

Guards are top priority for'Hawks next season
By Tommy Gallagher
tgallagher@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
With the season concluded, Kansas coach Roy Williams will continue recruiting high school prospects until Sunday, when the last contact session for recruits ends.
Williams said the Jayhawks would search for another backcourt player, perhaps another point guard. The point guards set to play next season are recruit Jeff Boschee and seniors Ryan Robertson and Jelani Janisse.
"If we could add one more perimeter player for next season, I think we would be all right," Williams said. "We would not drop much from where we are now."
The top unsigned point guard is Brandon Dean, a 6-foot-1-inch guard from Monroe, La., who averaged 31 points and 10 assists this season at Ouachita Parish High School.
Should Dean commit to Kansas, Boschee could be moved from the point to a shooting guard position.
I am the first African American to be elected to the U.S. Senate.
Dean told local media h. would visit Cincinnati and Arkansas, and perhaps Kansas and Florida State. Kansas had been the leader for Dean only one month ago but it now trails Cincinnati and Arkansas.
Nick Bradford backed Pierce this season, and although his shooting range improved, Bradford's outside shot (13.3 percent from three-point range)
remains suspect
Another concern for Kansas may come at small forward, should Paul Pierce forego his senior season for the NBA.
Williams: Recruiting focuses on both guard positions
Kansas has been recruiting John Salmons, a 6-foot-6 forward from Plymouth Meeting (Pa.) High School. Recruiting analyst Bob Gibbons said Salmons stood as the No.1 unsigned small forward.
Salmons also is being recruited by Michigan and Georgia Tech.
The Jayhawks also have been recruiting Preston Shumpert, a 6-foot 7 forward from Fort Walton Beach (Fla.) High School. Shumpert averaged 28 points and 14 rebounds this season. He has narrowed his choices to Kansas, Connecticut and Villanova, which reportedly offered him a scholarship.
Other small forwards who have drawn the interest of Kansas coaches include Kevin Houston, a 6-foot-4 player from Seward County Community College, and Gordon Scott, a 6-foot-5 player from Barton County Community College.
Inside, Kansas will return everybody but forward Raef LaFrentz. Jeff Carey, a 6-foot-10 forward/center, will play after redshirting this season.
But the Jayhawks still are searching for big men, which please center Eric Chenowith.
"Any time we can add depth to what we already have, that's a positive," Chenwith said. "Why would I mind if we got another big man? That would just give us another weapon to throw at opponents."
Kansas has shown interest in Rashad Lewis, a 6-foot 10 forward/center from Elsik High School in Alief, Texas. He was named a McDonald's All-American this season.
Lewis said his options included Kansas and the University of Houston, which hired Clyde Drexler of the Houston Rockets as its coach Wednesday.
Local media reported March 5 that Houston was Lewis's favorite until it fired its head coach. His mother said she favored Kansas, although it is uncertain how Drexler's hiring would affect Lewis's choice.
But nothing is certain in recruiting until letter-of-intent forms are officially signed. The late signing period will not begin until early April.
Williams said the recruiting process would help ease the pain caused by the Jayhawks' early NCAA Tournament exit.

"The only way I can handle the pain is to work as hard as I can," Williams said. "When I do that I can forget what happened and move on. I always though it was better to use time wisely rather than mope around feeling sorry for myself."

Arkansas awaits KU women
Defense, guards worry Washington
By Kevin C. Wilson
Kansan sportswriter
Stunning athleticism, spectacular perimeter play and a frantic-pressure defense.
All of these things worry Kansas women's basketball coach Marian Washington when she thinks about playing Arkansas in the Sweet 16.
The Jayhawks will meet the Razorbacks at approximately 11:30 p.m. tomorrow in Oakland, Calif.
"We're going to be facing an outstanding program in Arkansas," Washington said. "They are a team which likes to run, which may or may not help us."
Arkansas, 20-10 overall, plays an uptemp style that results in 75.5 points per
game, compared to Kansas's season average of 66.2.
Washington said Arkansas had a strong outside game and all three of the team's main perimeter players were great spotup shooters. Three of the Razorback's top four scorers play at the guard position, with only forward Karyn Karlin (15.5 ppg) producing more than her backcourt teammates.
Sytia Messer (12.1), Christy Smith (11.2) and Wendi Willits (7.2) make up the potent Arkansas guard attack.
Washington said she was also impressed with the Razorbacks perimeter defense.
"Their pressure defense is what I think has created a lot of problems for most of their opponents." Washington said. "We're going to have to be ready for that."
The Razorbacks average 10 steals per game and their defense forces opponents into 28.4 turnovers per game.
need to maintain their composure if they were to survive the Arkansas press.
"We need to take care of the basketball and find a way to score." Washington said. "We are going to try and go inside on them and crash the boards."
Washington said her players would
Center Nikia Sanford said she knew the game would be tough.
"Both of our teams win with defense, so I know its going to be a defensive battle," Sanford said.
Guard Jennifer Jackson said the Jayhawks would be ready to play no matter what kind of a game Arkansas played.
"Having to play against a new team every night in the Big 12 has exposed us to every kind of team," Jackson said. "It prepared us well for the tournament."
And the Jayhawks are not ready to bow out of the tournament yet.
"We came in as a number five seed, so we were expected to lose in the second round," Jackson said. "Every game now is like a bonus."

Young players lead Jayhawks in Sweet 16
Kansan sportswriter
By Kevin C. Wilson
Instead, the Jayhawks are in the Sweet 16.
This was supposed to be a rebuilding year for the Kansas women's basketball team.
Kansas, 23-8 overall, has exceeded expectations despite having only one senior on the roster.
"I don't think we have peaked yet,"
Washington said. "We can still improve."
Washington said she did not even think that the Jayhawks had played their best basketball of the season.
"I am so happy and so proud of this young group," said coach Marian Washington. "In the beginning of the season, I had to face the reality that we had a lot of young, inexperienced people. For them to come through like this is unbelievable."
The Jayhawks, who start two freshmen and a sophomore along with two juniors, have even used their youth to their advantage this season.
"Sometimes I think it helps," Washington said. "They have been a team that has been very disciplined. There are so many new players on our squad. Now the rivalries that we've had over the years don't mean a lot to them."

Freshman guard Jennifer Jackson said her age had not affected her ability on the court this season.
"I've never felt like a freshman," Jackson said. "To be able to play this much my first year has been exciting."
At times it has also been confusing for some of the freshmen, as it was when they traveled to Colorado earlier this season.
"a few of my players came to me and asked me how to get to the court from the
locker room." she said.
Once they actually stepped on the court, the young Jayhawks had relatively few problems this year.
Junior center Nakia Sanford said a player's year in school was irrelevant to her performance on the court.
"Age doesn't have anything to do with how you play," Sanford said. "We all want to win—who wants to rebuild?"
According to Washington and her players, rebuilding was not an option.
"These women came to Kansas believing they were coming to a program concerned about winning," Washington said. "They could have played anywhere but they were convinced that this was a great place to play college basketball. I think they are probably happy about their decisions now."
All-American track stars vault into spring season
They have broken school records and have some of the top marks in the nation. They competed last weekend at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships in Indianapolis and are now All-Americans.

"I really don't know what to think of it," Russell said of his All-American status. "I just concentrate on the next meet and shoot to do my best."

But it is not a big deal to Andrea Branson. Candy Mason and Scott Russell.
Russell said the accomplishments would be more significant after his collegiate career ended.
Right now, it is just beginning. Russell became Kansas' first All-American in the 35-pound weight throw. The Windsor, Ontario, freshman finished second, throwing 67-61/4.

anywhere near my personal best, I'd place in the top eight," Russell said. "I'm definitely happy with getting second at nationals, since I was ranked sixth in the nation going in."
Mason and Branson finished second and fifth, respectively, in the pole vault. Mason tied her school and con-
rence record, jumping 12-7 1/2. Branson, Leawood freshman, jumped her season-best. 12-1 1/2 inches.
"I went in with the goal of going at least 12 feet." Branson said.
Branson has been vaulting for four years. During her senior year at Shawnee Mission East High School,
Branson was named the Female Track Athlete of the Year by the Kansas City Star and the Overland Park Sun.
Branson said she competed in the pole vault because it was fun.
"I like the feeling of being upside down" she said.
The pole vault was an inaugural women's event at nationals this year.

"I think a lot of people were surprised to see women pole vaulters at nationals," Mason said. "There's a misconception that you have to have a lot of strength for the pole vault, but it's more in technique."

Guards are top priority for'Hawks next season
By Tommy Gallagher
tgallagher@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
With the season concluded, Kansas coach Roy Williams will continue recruiting high school prospects until Sunday night, when the last contact session for recruits ends.
Williams said the Jayhawks would search for another backcourt player, perhaps another point guard. The point guards set to play next season are recruit Jeff Boschee and seniors Rvan Robertson and Jelani Janisse.
"If we could add one more perimeter player for next season, I think we would be all right," Williams said. "We would not drop much from where we are now."
The top unsigned point guard is Brandon Dean, a 6-foot-1-inch guard from Monroe, La., who averaged 31 points and 10 assists this season at Quachita Parish High School.
Should Dean commit to Kansas, Boschee could be moved from the point to a shooting guard position.
NORMAN BROWN
Dean told local media nw would visit Cincinnati and Arkansas, and perhaps Kansas and Florida State. Kansas had been the leader for Dean only one month ago but it now travels Cincinnati and Arkansas.
Williams: Recruiting focuses on both guard positions
Nick Bradford backed Pierce this season, and although his shooting range improved, Bradford's outside shot (13.3 percent from three-point range)
remains suspect
Another concern for Kansas may come at small forward, should Paul Pierce forego his senior season for the NBA.
Inside, Kansas will return everybody but forward Raef LaFrentz. Jeff Carey, a 6-foot-10 forward/center, will play after redshirting this season.
But the Jayhawks still are searching for big men, which please center Eric Chenowith.
Other small forwards who have drawn the interest of Kansas coaches include Kevin Houston, a 6-foot-4 player from Seward County Community College, and Gordon Scott, a 6-foot-5 player from Barton County Community College.
"Any time we can add depth to what we already have, that's a positive," Chenwith said. "Why would I mind if we got another big man? That would just give us another weapon to throw at opponents."
The Jayhawks also have been recruiting Preston Shumpert, a 6-foot-7 forward from Fort Walton Beach (Fla.) High School. Shumpert averaged 28 points and 14 rebounds this season. He has narrowed his choices to Kansas, Connecticut and Villanova, which reportedly has offered him a scholarship.
Kansas has been recruiting John Salmons, a 6-foot-6 forward from Plymouth Meeting (Pa.) High School. Recruiting analyst Bob Gibbons said Salmons stood as the No.1 unsigned small forward.
Kansas has shown interest in Rashard Lewis, a 6-foot 10-forward/center from Elsik High School in Alief, Texas. He was named a McDonald's All-American this season.
Salmons also is being recruited by Michigan and Georgia Tech.
Lewis said his options included Kansas and the University of Houston, which hired Clyde Drexler of the Houston Rockets as its coach Wednesday.
Local media reported March 5 that Houston was Lewis's favorite until it fired its head coach. His mother said she favored Kansas, although it is uncertain how Drexler's hiring would affect Lewis's choice.

Baseball at home for break
Team ready for better weather and Big 12 season start
By John Blakely Wilson Kansan sportswriter
While many University of Kansas students are burning on tropical beaches or skiing down Colorado slopes, the Kansas baseball team will play nine games in seven days, all in Lawrence.
"It's a great spring break if you love baseball," head coach Bobby Randall said. "This is a huge stretch for us to establish consistency before jumping into the Big 12 season."
The Jayhawks begin a three-game weekend series with Iowa state (5-9) today. The team then will play a doubleheader on Tuesday against Rockhurst, a game on Wednesday against Washburn and a three-game series against Oklahoma from March 27-29.
The Iowa State series always brings back fond memories for Randall, who compiled a 366-366-1 record as the Cyclones' head coach from 1985 to 1995.
"I'll always have a warm spot for Iowa State," Randall said. "I enjoyed those years, but I'm also glad I'm here."
Randall said the Iowa State series was important because it was the Jayhawks' Big 12 Conference home opener.
"This is a critical series to get us playing the way we desire to," Randall said. "We have Oklahoma next weekend and will play conference teams the next seven weeks. Now is the time we need to be playing well."
The weather may have hurt the Jayhawks' rhythm in March, when wet conditions caused postponement or cancellation of seven of 13 scheduled games.
"It seems like we've had five opening games because of all the starts and stop in our schedule," Randall said. "I'm looking forward to spring break because it will give us a time to evaluate players in games."
Pitching is an area that needs to be improved. Relief pitching killed a probable Jayhawk victory on Wednesday against Arkansas, when the bullpen gave up nine runs in four innings. Pitcher Chad Schuster said relievers simply needed to throw strikes.
"That umpire had a huge strike

zone, and we were having trouble getting balls over the plate even then," Schueter said. "Guy's just need innings and time in game situations to work themselves out."
Randall and pitching coach Wilson Kilmer have Lew Wairnd, Rusty Philbrick and Chad Schuster slated to start on the mound this weekend.
Walrond has been getting to bat as designated hitter lately, and has excelled. He slammed a home run last weekend and knocked in two runs on Wednesday. Randall said Walrond was one of several options at designated hitter.
"If Les continues to hit the ball to all fields and does not try to pull everything, he'll get a lot of at bats," Randall said. "
Randall said he was tired of talking about weather problems.
"We haven't discovered as much as we'd like about our club because we haven't gotten out on the field and played games," Randall said. "The weather was a story, now it's a nuisance."
Women's tennis to take on Waves

The Kansas women's tennis team will seek a break from the dreary weather that has plagued Lawrence this week when it heads to California during spring break.
By Erin Thompson
The No. 17 Jayhawks will travel to Malibu, Calif., next Friday to face No. 14 Peperdine.
The Waves could present tough competition with three players ranked nationally in the top 50. They are 12-4 overall, with all losses to teams in the top 20.
Kansas coach Roland Thornqvist said the Jayhawks could come back to Kansas with two wins.

Kansas is continuing a trend of traveling to warm spots during spring break. Last year, the Jayhawks traveled to Las Vegas, but they came home with an 0-4 record during spring break.
By Carolyn Mollett Special to the Kansan
The Jayhawks will take this chance to see action on outdoor courts.
"We'll try to make the transition from inside to outside." Thornqvist said. "We'll have to deal
Waterskiers to seek wake during break
with the heat. We're going down there a couple of days in advance to get some conditioning outside."
The site of the NCAA Women's Central Regional Playoffs has been announced. The Jayhawks will play in Provo, Utah, home of Brigham Young University. In tennis, the top 10 teams in the nation receive a bye and do not have to play in the regional tournament.
Thornqvist said the Jayhawks would try to skip Provo by breaking into the top 10 and heading straight to South Bend, Ind., where the national tournament will be held.
"Our goal is not to have to play in the regionals," he said. "We've been playing well, and we're focusing on making it straight to South Bend."
During spring break, 13 of the club's 39 members will travel to the Cory Pickos World Ski Center in Destin. Fla., about 20 minutes from Panama City, Fla.
Members of the Kansas water skiing club feared last semester their group was slowly sinking.
Now, members say, their heads are above water, and they are headed for a spring break ski vacation.
"We've really turned the club around," said Laura Lohrmann, Elkhorn, Wis., senior and former club president.
Club president Jimmy Spillman, Andover junior, said the club had doubled its size this semester.
"If enough people at the University knew there was a ski club, more people would try to join," Spillman said. "It's just a matter of getting everyone to know."
Members of the club will take two cars and a U-Haul for the 17-hour drive.
"The easy way to sell our vacation is because it's so close to Panama City." said Jeff Clennon, Wilmington, Il., junior and team captain. "You can actually go and party with regular spring breakers."
Clennon, who has attended the Florida ski school, said Cory Pickos was an impressive waterskier. Pickos is a 22-time world record holder in the trick water skiing event and the head instructor of the center.
Other school instructors are U.S. water skiing team members, Clennon said. Club members will be able to ski five sets each day and can be critiqued between sets, he said.
Clennon said the Kansas water skiing club had the most advantages of any water skiing club in the region, including skis, a boat, wet suits and access to McKan Lake off Kansas highway 10 east of Lawrence.
The club also plans to purchase a lake board this spring, the newest trend in ski equipment.
This spring, the team will compete in three tournaments, including a home tournament in late April.

Big East proves it's more than UConn
Four Southeastern Conference teams still playing in the NCAA women's basketball tournament is not unusual. Happens all the time.
The Associated Press
Three of Sweet 16 second only to SEC
Nor is it surprising the Atlantic Coast Conference still has three teams.
But look who else has three in the round of 16 which begins tomorrow—the Big East. Yes, the league commonly maligned as Connecticut and the dinky dozen has more teams left than the Big 10 (2), more than the Big 12 (1) and more than the Pac-10 (1).
"I had hoped after last year that we proved we had at least a couple of good teams," said McGraw, who guided the Irish to the Final Four last season and has them in the Midwest Regional semifinals now.
Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw said that should not be such a surprise.
"I said at our preseason media day that this is going to be the year we're going to take three or four teams," he said. "I could see that happening."
Four Big East teams made the tournament. Miami was eliminated in the first round, but Connecticut and Rutgers are still going, along with Notre Dame — Connecticut in the East and Rutgers in the Mideast.
Rutgers (22-9) faces the biggest
challenge tomorrow, meeting No.
1-ranked Tennessee (35-0) at
Nashville, Tenn. North Carolina
(26-6) plays Illinois (20-9) in the
other Mideast game there.
Connecticut (33-2) plays Arizona (23-6) at Dayton, Ohio, with top-seeded Old Dominion (29-2) meeting North Carolina State (23-6) in the other game.
In the Midwest at Lubbock,
Texas, Notre Dame (22-9) plays Purdue (22-9) and Louisiana Tech (28-3)
faces Alabama (24-9). In the West at Oakland, Calif., it's Arkansas (20-
10) against Kansas (23-8) and Florida (23-8) against Duke (23-7).
After losing four starters, Notre Dame had to replace more players than any other member of last year's Final Four.
Rutgers coach Vivian Stringer said she was confident they won't be intimidated by Tennessee, which has won two tournament games easily in its drive for a third straight national title.
"We were inconsistent throughout the season," McGraw said. "We played the best we've played all year in the last two games."
The West has two surprise teams in fifth-seeded Kansas and ninth-seeded Arkansas. Kansas advanced by winning at fourth-seeded Iowa, while Arkansas beat Hawaii and No.16 seed Harvard, which had stunned top-seeded Stanford in the first round.
Longhorn cager calls grade leak unlawful
The Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas — The family members of Texas basketball player Luke Axtell say they have been assured the school will investigate the release of the player's academic progress report, which was read on an Austin radio station after Axtell's academic suspension.
University athletics officials had no immediate comment yesterday on the family's statement, which came amid turmoil swirling around the Longhorn basketball program.
mother, Mollie, said in a prepared statement.
The public turnout began Tuesday when Texas issued a statement saying coach Tom Penders had placed Axell on academic suspension. On Wednesday, a radio broadcaster read from the player's academic report on the air.
We have been so numeral law," she said. "We have discussed their improprieties with (UT athletics director) DeLoss Dodds. We have been assured by Dodds that this issue has been referred to the university's legal counsel and is under investigation."
"Someone in the athletic department has chosen to make confidential information public regarding Luke's grades and interim progress reports, some of which are false," Axtell's.

The 6-foot-9 Axtell was second on the team in scoring, averaging 13.3 points per game. He led the team in three-point shooting (39 percent) and was second on the team in wore commu
Axtell: Standout freshman angry about grade leak
average minutes played per game (28.7). The night his suspension was announced, Axtell phoned the Austin American-Statesman
and criticized Penders. The player told the newspaper he had asked for and received permission from Dodds to transfer.
Axtell also said freshman guard Bernard Smith, sophomore Gabe Muoneke and 7-foot freshman Chris Mihm, a high school teammate of Axtell's at Austin Westlake, were unhappy with Penders and were considering leaving.
Penders, who was vacationing in the Caribbean, said in a phone interview Axtell refused to go to study hall or meet with tutors, and his performance has been indicative of that.
"Our players know they have to take care of the academic side of things before they take care of basketball," he said.
Dodds, in a written statement Wednesday, called the situation a family issue, as all team matters are in athletics, and said the most important aspect of resolving it was communications between the two.

Primary Colors lacks political luster
By Jeremy M. Doherty
jdoherty@kansan.com
Kansan movie critic
Had the public never heard of Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky or Kathleen Willey, Primary Colors would probably feel a lot edgier.
As it is now, its portrait of philandering, genial Southern governor who dodges a series of lurid scandals while en route to the White House just seems too familiar to surprise us.
The audience watches John Travolta impersonate a candidate clearly modeled after BIL Clinton and waits for the punch line. What exactly was director Mike Nichols' goal here — satire or oldfashioned melodrama?
Apparently, neither he nor his screenwriter, Elaine May, have an answer. In adapting Joe Klein's besteller (he wrote it under the pseudonym Anonymous), the duo have managed to lose much of the novel's biting humor and insight. They've fashioned a hokey fantasy, expecting the viewer to get all misty-eyed about an imperfect candidate. Their underlying theme appears to be that it's better to have a lying politician who cares
What Primary Colors does get right is the disorganized, sleepless feel of an election campaign. Henry Burton (Adrian Lester) is a youthful political animal who lives in the shadow of his grandfather, a respected civil rights figure. Tired of propping up do-nothing congressmen, Burton latches on to the presidential cake of doughnut-loving and skirt-chasing Jack Stanton (Travolta), the governor of a poor Southern state.
than a honest one who doesn't.
Review
Whatever.
Henry's job becomes one of damage control for the spotty crusade. Stanton, while on the surface a passionate and selfless public servant, is in reality a hot-tempered shyster who isn't afraid to use dirty tricks when the time is right.
Anyone who's seen the fine documentary The War Room will recognize much of the elements at play here. Henry and his cohorts (Billy Bob Thornton and Maura Tierney, among others) delve into a bitter and ruthless war, where a single CNN sound byte can mean life or death for the
PRIMARY COLORS
Kansan Rating: **1/2 out of *******
Running time: 2 hours, 20 minutes
Rated R for pervasive strong language
campaign. It's nowtalk new, but Nichola stages the action so smoothly it comes across as gripping.
The film screeches to a halt whenever it focuses on its two above-the-title stars, Travolta and Emma Thompson, who is sorely under-utilized as Stanton's Machiavellian wife Susan. Basically, Nichols and May exploit our own perceptions of the Clintons without giving us a true look at the soul of their union.
Newcomer Lester is given a sizable chunk of airtime in *Primary Colors*, and, while he doesn't embarrass himself, the underwritten role has him essentially playing a straight man to the others.
Clocking in at a long 140 minutes, Primary Colors allows the pacing to lag and the mind to wander. Nichols should have followed the lead of Barry Levinson's Wag the Dog, which was 45 minutes shorter and miles funnier.

THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
(USPS 650-640)
Friends remember victim of accident
Spring break crash kills KU student
By Laura Roddy
lroddy@kansan.com
Kanson staff writer
Friends of Heather Norris remember the 19-year-old Ballwin, Mo., freshman's contagious smile and warm personality.
"She was everyone's guardian angel," said Gillian Burrow, Lincoln, Neb., junior and friend of Norris. "She took care of everyone else before she even thought about herself. She loved everybody unconditionally."
Norris, a McCollum Hall resident and KU Ambassador, died shortly after 1:30 p.m. Tuesday when a truck crossed the median into the eastbound lanes of Interstate 44, six miles west of Lebanon, Mo..
McCollum Hall and KU Ambassadors have organized a memorial service for Norris, which will take place at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Spooner Hall courtyard. In the event of rain, the service will be in Danforth Chapel.
and hit her vehicle, according to a Missouri Highway Patrol report. The 19-year-old truck driver suffered only minor injuries.
Kate McGee, resident assistant on McColum's third floor and student coordinator for KU Ambassadors, described Norris as the floor mother and as someone who loved to talk.
"She was a beautiful, friendly girl," said McGee, a Loveland, Colo., junior. "There was some sort of magic about her that made people really want to be around her."
"She didn't have a mean bone in her body," Kloner said. "When you looked at her, she let you know right away that she was someone you could tell your deepest secret."
Dain Kloner, De Pere, Wis., senior and KU Ambassador, said he met Norris in January when he trained her as a KU Ambassador.
In addition to volunteering as a KU Ambassador, Norris was an equipment manager for the Kansas football team, a member of McCollum's social committee and a volunteer at the Natural History Museum at the University.
Mike Morgan. Minneapolis, Kan.. junior and third-floor resident assistant at McCollum, said he remembered meeting Norris during the first week of school. He said that he found her in front of an elevator, talking through a crack in the elevator doors to a student stuck inside.
Morgan said Norris spent 45 minutes talking to the trapped student, even passing a newspaper to him.
On another occasion, Morgan said he,

staved up all night talking about life.
"We named everything that we loved," Morgan said. "We went on for hours about every little thing in life."
Jeska Bracke, Cameron, Mo., junior, said that she treasured the memories and the photographs from a road trip that she and Norris took earlier this month. They traveled to Arkansas on a whim, returning to the University 25 hours later, she said.
"My cheeks hurt from smiling so much on that trip," Bracke said.
Friends said that Norris and her roommate Jamie Higgins, Edgerton freshman, were inseparable.
"They're like two halves of a whole," Burrow said.

Resident assistants, along with representatives from Counseling and Psychological Services and Campus Crusade for Christ, met with residents of McColum's third death last night to inform them of Norris' death.

Students take break from typical trips
By Emily C. Forsyth
eforsyth@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Sarah McPartlin brought more than a new tattoo home from spring break.
McPartlin, Glen Ellyn, Ill., senior, participated in one of three alternative spring break trips organized by Ecumenical Christian Ministries. She and 24 others, mostly KU students, embarked on a nine-day trip to north central New Mexico where they worked on a ranch and in surrounding villages. The trip cost $250, not including three meals and spending money.
McPartilin said the trip was an opportunity to escape the school environment, to help others and to get to know other participants.
"It was a life-changing experience," McParklin said.
Josh Lee, Chicago senior, said the conditions were not bad.
"We weren't really roughing it." Lee said. "It was a lot like camp."
The group worked for two days on the ranch and two days in surrounding villages. They performed jobs such as cultivating farmland, planting vegetables, recycling tires, working on a sewage system and cleaning irrigation ditches.
Mike Soifer, Chicago senior said that he enjoyed helping people in the community because they appreciated the assistance.
"No one minded doing the work," Soifer said. "It was really rewarding."
The trip was not all work, however. Participants hiked in their spare time and traveled to Santa Fe, where some shopped, visited museums and got tattoos.
Many participants said they enjoyed a break from television and news.
Eric J. Reid, Dodge City junior,
said that he learned an important
lesson from observing the residents
of Abiquiu.
"There's a lot of importance placed on nature and history and a lot less placed on material things and rushing around like we do." Reid said. "It was important to see and appreciate that and think about taking it back into your own life."
Although the trip was sponsored by a religious organization, religious activities were optional and participants said that they did not feel pressured to get involved.
The two other alternative spring break destinations were Denver, where participants worked with Habitat for Humanity, and Piedras Negres, Mexico, where participants worked in construction and with cultural activities.
McPartlin and her travel mates drove to Abiquiu, New Mexico, where they stayed at Ghost Ranch. The ranch has been a filming site for several movies, including City Slickers, Wyatt Earp and Silverado and also was the home of artist Georgia O'Keefe.
Soiler agreed. "I definitely think that we probably did something more special than most other trips," he said. "It wasn't all work. It was fun, too."
Overall, the New Mexico group agreed that the alternative trip was much more rewarding than other options.
"I wanted to do something besides going to Cancun and getting wasted for seven days," McPartlin said.

University to receive million dollar donation
By Brandon Copple
Kansan staff writer
By Brandon Copple bcopple@kansan.com
The University of Kansas will receive a gift that could total $10 million from a Hays banker who died in January.
Paul Miller, a 1932 graduate of the University, willed half of his estate to the University. Fort Hays State University and the Hays Medical Center will split the other half.
The money will fund scholarships and professorships at the school of engineering. Several of those scholarships were established by Miller before his death, said Dennis Blecker, a Hays attorney who drafted
Miller's will and represents the estate.
Bleeker said the Millers owned about 7,000 acres of farmland scattered in seven or eight counties in northwest Kansas. The land will be sold at public auction in early August, and the University will receive its share of the proceeds then.
The University already has received more than $1 million from the Miller estate, Biecker said.
"Paul had very fond memories of his years at KU." Biecker said. "He always cared very deeply about the University, and he wanted to help students get as much from college as he did."
The total value of the gift will not be known until the property sale, but
Bleeker said that the total estate could be worth about $20 million.
Locke said that, with the latest gift, the Paul and Virginia Bassett Miller Scholarships could help support as many as 15 University students.
Carl Locke, dean of engineering, said proceeds from the Miller estate would finance two scholarship funds for engineering students and one faculty development fund.
Locke said the scholarships were established in honor of Virginia Miller's father, a graduate of the school of engineering.
"My wife and I had the opportunity to get to know the Millers before their deaths," Locke said. "They were wonderful people, and because of their gifts we've been able
to attract some very fine students."
John Scarfle, communications director for the KU Endowment Association said the awards were paid for with interest generated from investing the estate's proceeds. Because the gift is so large, the dean of engineering will have discretion to create new academic awards if the interest generated exceeds the amount necessary to fund the three existing awards, Scarfle said.
Scarffe said a $10 million gift probably would be the largest received by KU Endowment. However, a 1925 gift of 25,000 acres in Western Kansas from Elizabeth Watkins may have been worth nearly as much, he said.
Basketball star from 1993-97 takes her life

The Lawrence Police Department shed little light on the March 25 suicide of former University of Kansas basketball player Jennifer Trapp when it released its suicide report yesterday.
Trapp shot herself between 7:50 a.m. and 12:28 p.m.
Wednesday in her home, 223 Marvone Road, accord-
doring to the above.
ing to the report. Her body was discovered at about 12:30 p.m. by her mother, Patti.
The report did not include any information regarding a motive for the suicide.
Donald Pojman, Douglas County deputy coroner, said the autopsy, which was performed Wednesday night, showed no signs of foul play.
Lawrence police Sgt. Dave Hubbell said that if a motive or a note did exist, police probably would not be able to release details.
103
Trapp, 23, was buried Saturday. Kansas women's basketball coach Marian Washington was among
Trapp: described as a fierce competitor by former coach
those who attended Trapp's funeral. It took place at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, 3655 W. 10th St.
Washington released a statement Wednesday afternoon but had not commented since.
"I cannot put into words the shock and devastation that our program is experiencing," Washington's statement said. "I extend my deepest condolences to the Trapp family, and I ask that you pray for them during this difficult time."
Trapp's father, Rick, said that the family still was stunned and that Jennifer would be missed.
"She was a beautiful and loving and caring daughter," he said. "She was a fierce competitor on the court, but that was just a small part of Jennifer."
Trapp played three sports at Lawrence High School, lettering in volleyball, track and basketball. She won the 1993 Gatorade Kansas High School Player of the Year Award. She was a member of the Lady Lions teams who won the 1992 Class 6A state basketball championship and who were state runners-up in 1993.
Trapp played as a forward for the Kansas women's basketball team from 1993-97 and lettered each season. She had played professionally in Luxembourg and Finland, and she returned to the U.S. earlier this year to prepare for trvouts with an American Basketball League team.
She started 121 games at Kansas and is tied for fourth place for most games played during her career with 122. She averaged 6.6 points and 5.4 rebounds per game, and played on two of the most successful teams in KU women's basketball history.
During the 1995-96 season, she helped the Jayhawks win the final Big Eight Conference championship and advance to the NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16 for the first time in the history of Kansas women's basketball. During the 1996-97 season, Trapp helped Kansas capture the inaugural Big 12 Conference championship.

The KU debate squad finished fifth in the nation at the Cross-Examination Debate Association tournament March 20-23.
KU debater top in nation; team places fifth overall
The tournament, which took place at the University of Rochester, N.Y., is the largest debate tournament in the country.
Hajir Ardebili, Overland Park senior, and Grant McKeehan, Overland Park sophomore, placed third at the tournament.
"All of our debaters are clearly quite talented," Minch said. "To then go beyond that and have our top students place as well as they did reaffirms the strength and quality of the students and their training at KU."
said the squad's accomplishments spoke well of both their intellect and preparation
Ardebill was ranked as the tournament's top debater out of 308 of the nation's best debaters and was elected to the Academic All-American Debate Team.
"Reaching the final four at the national championship tournament is a tremendous accomplishment," said Scott Harris, KU debate coach.
Mckeehan placed sixth. Amy Miller, Topeka junior, also was named to the All-American team.
The University of Kansas was one of three schools at the CEDA tournament to have five or more teams participating. All five KU teams reached the elimination round.
"This is Hajir's senior year, and in many ways, that first-place finish is sort of a crowning achievement for his career," Minch said. "To have two people in the top 10 speaks very highly of the team as a whole."
The squad is competing in the National Debate Tournament, sponsored by the American Forensic Association, which continues through today at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City.

European Union expansion continues with ceremony
BRUSSELS, Belgium — None of the 11 nations hoping to be admitted to the European Union in the next decade is ready yet, but all were expected at Monday's ceremonial opening of the group's most ambitious expansion.
Although the 10 East European countries and Cyprus face a hard road to qualify, foreign ministers from the 15 existing members and the hopefuls will declare Europe on course for unprecedented integration.
But the candidates will have to make difficult economic and social adjustments. None currently meets the membership criteria, said Francois Lamoureux, a senior official involved in enlargement talks.
It will take at least five years to integrate Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic.
Slovenia, Estonia and Cyprus — and five more to get Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia, Romania and Bulgaria through the door.
After Monday's ceremony, the slow-track candidates go home. The E.U. will engage them in preparatory talks. The six fast-track candidates open formal membership talks in Brussels on Tuesday.
If all work hard to make their economies comply with E.U. rules, they will get billions of dollars in technical and other aid. If they don't, they risk a suspension of financial assistance, Lamoureux said.
El Niño storms flood Peru, damaging main highway
ON THE PAN AMERICAN HIGHWAY, Peru
ON THE PAN AMERICAN HIGHWAY, Peru — A drama of biblical dimensions is unfolding in Peru, where deadly floods and mudslides caused by El Niño deluges have killed 300 people, driven hundreds of thousands from their homes, washed away vast swaths of farmland and paralyzed the country's highways.
Torrential rains that began in December have turned dozens of normally bone-dry river beds and ravines in Peru's northern desert into raging rivers that have swept away villages and bridges and cut highways into ribbons.
Traveling the Pan American Highway, the lifeline of Peruvian commerce running the length of its Pacific coast, has become a bruising odyssey across a ravaged landscape — requiring travel by bus, boat, donkey and foot.
Dried mud coats the streets, the remnants of a mudslide that swept over the inoverished village and left a moonscape behind.
Winds whip up thick dust storms from the dried mud, forcing residents to walk with rags held to their faces.
Parts of the highway look as if a giant has taken bites off the sides. Drivers must swerve around car-sized holes and boulders and plow through muddy river beds.

Wheels turning for public buses

Talk of a fixed-route public bus system in Lawrence once again is gaining support.

Citizens for Public Transportation is collecting petitions and donations to bring a city bus system to Lawrence.
MILTON LEEBELE
Mary Michener, co-chairwoman of the group and Lawrence resident, said that there are many cities smaller than Lawrence that have successfully run a city bus system. She said that such a mode of public transportation was long overdue in Lawrence.
"More people could go shopping or visit their friends," she said. "We want people to realize that people are missing art events, sports events and most importantly, job opportunities."
Because KU on Wheels' buses travel to and from campus, it is useful mainly to students. Many Lawrence residents face difficulties in getting around town, Michner said.
Michner is uncertain of what would happen to KU on Wheels if a city bus plan was developed. She said that the two could combine to form a single system.
Scott Kaiser, transportation coordinator, preferred that option as opposed to dismantling KU on Wheels.
"A bus system run by the city without any student input would end up meaning reduced services for students," he said. "They'd end up paying more for less services."
Lisa Marte, Dominican Republic freshman, said that she was concerned that KU students no longer would be able to use their bus passes.
Makiko Aihara, Japan freshman,
said that a bus system in addition to
KU on Wheels could benefit many
students.
"Many international students don't have cars, so they need a ride to go to Walmart or Target," she said. "Right now there are no buses to go there. so it is kind of difficult."
Last year, the Lawrence City Commission rejected a plan for a public bus system.
Fred Sherman, city planner, said a study last year showed that a bus system would create a annual deficit of $1 million.
"The City Commission decided that they didn't want to see taxes go up, and they voted it down," Sherman said.
Paul Fairchild, co-chairperson of Citizens for Public Transportation, said that last year's City Commission decision would not discourage the group from continuing and increasing their efforts.
"It's just a challenge that we have to overcome, and I think the way to overcome it is with enough public support," he said.
The group sent out 1,150 letters stating their case to Lawrence residents in March. In addition, the group enclosed a form soliciting signatures
and donations for $10, $25 or $50.
Michener said the petition, which thus far has attracted more than 1,000 signatures and $615 in contributions, indicated the community's support for their cause.
"We do want it, and we will pay for it," she said.
Crime reports decrease during break
Bv Laura Roddy

Kansan staff writer
While University of Kansas students basked in the sun at the beach or hit the ski slopes during spring break, it was business as usual for the KU Office of Public Safety.
Without many students on campus, criminal activity reported to the office decreased.
"Overall, it's been a pretty slow week," Officer James Anguian said. "Some of our spring break crises don't get
reported until after (students)
get back."
Anguiano said one person was arrested on campus last week for operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol. The person was not a KU student.
He also said that several students reported theft of property during break but that the thefts occurred while classes were still in session.
Lawrence public schools also were not in session last week.
"We really don't see an increase of criminal activity from high school kids here on
campus." Anguiano said
A deserted campus does not change the way officers operate.
"We still patrol normal shifts just like we would during the regular school year," Anguiano said.
Police were able to do extra patrols of places such as the parking lots and Stouffer Place Apartments, he said.
Because of the extra patrol time, some students may return to their vehicles and find a note left by an officer. Anguiano said that if officers found vehicles that looked like they had been
damaged or broken into, they tried to contact students by phone or left them notes.
Brenda Chung, Hong Kong sophomore and Lewis Hall resident, said she had not worried about the safety of her property during break because of security monitors patrolling at all times.
If students do find missing or damaged property, they should file a report with the public safety office as soon as possible, Anguiano said.
Web page to assist in course selection
By Gerry Doyle
gdoyle @kanson.com
Kanson staff writer
The University of Kansas has a new way to help fight through the web of misunderstanding that can surround class choices.
The page was designed by Mike Turvey, Lawrence freshman. Turvey said that the page was a relatively easy project and that it would be a great help to students looking for help when choosing classes. Turvey said he began working on the project in December.
A new Web site constructed by the provost's office features a way for students to find out more about classes before they enroll. The site, located at www.ukans.edu/~content, contains information, provided by the professor of a given course, ranging from topics covered in class to expectations of students.
He said that the project would help him as a student and was entertaining to put together.
"It was a blast," he said. "It was fun to take everything I've learned and actually make something useful for other people. It will really help students get information directly from faculty, and now the faculty can do it all by themselves."
Faculty wanting to add their course information to the site can simply log on and enter their password to enter, Turvey said. Faculty participation is voluntary.
Associate Provost Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett said that the site seemed to be getting a good response. It grew out of an idea to have faculty evaluations posted for students, and ended up as a compromise: no class evaluations will be released, but students will have a tool to help them select
COURSE CONTENT WEB SITE
Where: www.ukans.edu/~content
What: A breakdown of a selected class in areas like course expectations, number of students in the class and topics to be covered.
What classes are online: Faculty are not required to post their classes on the site.
classes.
The project, which was pulled together quickly, will be useful to both students and faculty, she said.
"I'm amazed," she said. "He seemed to somewhat have done it overnight. If students are balancing their schedule, this lets them know what expectations are before enrolling. It's optional for faculty, but I think it's going to work pretty well."
Scott Sullivan, student body president, said that the Web page was a good way for students to get their money's worth out of their class selection. It was the optimal solution for everyone involved, he said.
"In my eyes, it's something everyone can agree upon," he said. "Instead of a class being completely surprising, students will be informed. Really, they'll be a more educated consumer. They'll know what they're paving for."
Laurence Draper, professor of microbiology and University Senate president, said that it was a student-centered project, but that it would help faculty.
"It started as a student initiative," he said. "It will help the student because normally they only have word of mouth, a number, a time, and a few lines in the catalog. It will help me because the student will know what they're getting into. It's not a contract, it's simple information."

Buyer beware: 'Great deals' may not be all that they seem
College students can be the best bargain hunters in the world. Whether at the grocery store, buying textbooks or selecting credit cards, students are learning that there are significant differences in costs for services and products. But students should take special care when making purchases and signing deals. The capitalist world is an ocean full of corporate sharks waiting to take a bite out of consumers' wallets.
Most students have seen deals that are "too good to be true." Companies have created special discounts, "unbelievable" savings, and other deals to draw the interest and attention of consumers. On college campuses, these companies can reach many consumers. Often there has been a mutual benefit for both the companies and the students. But sometimes unsuspecting students, in their attempts to save money, are suckered into money-losing deals.
Students should be fully knowledgeable of products services before purchasing
An example of a too-good-to-be-treal deal is the Sprint Sense FONCARD. To get students to use its long-distance card, Sprint has a special 10 cents a minute flat rate for all calls in the United States.
Compared to most other calling cards, this deal seems to be the best. Unfortunately, all that glitters is not gold. What Sprint fails to publicize with its deal is the 90 cent connection applied to all collect and FONCARD calls. On the agreement sent to customers, the only mention of the connection fee is stated as a per call surcharge that may apply to calls made with the Sprint FONCARD.
Thus, the bill for ten one minute calls actually would be ten dollars, rather than the expected one dollar.
This is not an attack on Sprint, but simply an example of a situation in which students may not get what they think they are paying for. Students must be cautious about purchasing any product or service. It is the responsibility of the consumer to know everything about a product before purchasing it. Students are no exception. A careful examination and understanding of seemingly great deals will help students save money — and avoid the snapping jaws of the corporate sharks.

Clinton investigation a waste of time
Kenneth Starr has gone too far. For 4
1/2 years, Starr has to tie topple President Clinton, and the only thing we can be sure of is a $40 million price tag.
Starr has been beating around the bushes for too long. Instead of sticking to the issue at hand, trying to find if the president acted illegally, he has used his power to silence his critics, in particular White House aldee Sidney Blumenthal. No new information has come from Blumenthal's testimony. Starr merely wasted more of our time.
Starr also wasted valuable time when he dragged Monica Lewinsky's mother into court. What did he hope to get from terrorizing Ms. Lewinsky? Did he expect Monica to have told her mother about the alleged affair with the president? Yeah, right. Clearly, Starr just
Kenneth Starr has overstepped his bounds and overspent American taxpayers' money
wasted more time.
Starr also has tried to get Secret Service agents to testify against the president. Though executive privilege may have been a poor excuse for Nixon during the Watergate scandal, it most certainly is a sound reason for the president's personal guards not to testify. They are trained to be loyal and faithful to the president. The vital trust between the Secret Service and the president should not be broken to satisfy Starr's curiosity. Starr should have known and respected that. But he
just wasted more time.
Then there's the money we've wasted on this case. Forty million dollars is a lot of money, which easily could have been put to a more productive use. Forty million dollars would go a long way toward improving our children's education. Forty million dollars could have been used to help the poor. Forty million dollars could help reduce the deficit. Forty million dollars could have been used for any number of important things. This case isn't one of them.
Starr needs to give up. He's wasting our money and our time. If Clinton's pulling the wool over the public's eyes, then he's good. But we didn't need $40 million and Kenneth Starr to tell us that.

Sports columnist's objectivity refreshing
As I recall, a couple of them were angry and frustrated, just like the majority of us. I don't think that Rattiff ever meant to personally attack one player or coach. "Mr. Regular Season" just refers to the fact that Coach Roy Williams has come up short the last couple of years. It is nothing personal. I'm sure Rattiff thinks everybody on that team is a solid human being, just like the rest of us do. However, they are some of the best college basketball players in America, playing for the best college basketball program in the nation. Results are expected year-in and year-out. Out of the top eight most successful programs in the 90s, we have the highest winning percentage. The only other team out of those eight that hasn't won a national championship is Princeton.
It has finally happened. After years of reading one-sided sports commentary concerning the basketball program, someone has stepped forward and sternly questioned the results of another shocking end to the University of Kansas's men's basketball tournament run. Harley Rattif, kudos to you sir. You had enough gall to put your heart aside and not make any excuses for the team. If anyone listened to the post-game interviews that some players gave, they would have heard that the players had no excuses either.
We all know that our team is far and above better than the team at Princeton. Yet year after year it has become almost expected for us to be bounced out of the bracket before we even get a chance to play for the title. I know people talk about the regular season records and Big 12 tournament titles, but I bet that every single person on that team would trade them all in just to step up on the ladder that special Monday night and cut down the nets. This is the goal of every coach and player that steps onto the court at the beginning of the season.

We have had the talent to win it all, and we will have the talent to win it all. This year the road could not have gotten any clearer for us to make it.
Sal Wolf Overland Park senior
Cartoon belittled Jayhawks' success
Instead, I found a paper that ran an editorial cartoon asking Coach Williams, "Who's to blame this time, Roy?" Since Coach Williams took over our program he has had more victories in his 10 year career than any other coach in NCAA history. Has he not also provided us with the longest current home winning streak in college ball? He has a glowing respect for his student athletes and he works tirelessly to provide us with one of the best teams in the nation. He is probably the most widely recognized and respected ambassador of our University.
After the Jayhawk's recent loss in the NCAA Basketball Tournament, I turned to The University Daily Kansas for local insight regarding how Coach Roy Williams and the team were faring. Intended to find a supportive University publication reporting on its team's recent misfortune, while celebrating one of the greatest seasons in KU basketball history.
The expectation of a Final Four appearance is a gift he provides us year-after-year. By running this cartoon you have taken that gift and thrown it in his face, and back at a team that does an unequaled job of representing us. There are thousands of college students that would love it if their team had a winning record, let alone, the hope of going to the Final Four. You've turned a gift into an expectation, and an expectation into self-pity. I'm embarrassed to see this happening at a university that I'm so proud of and to a basketball team that deserves nothing less than your most exceptional praise.
As Williams said on his talk show Monday night, "People who say we choked have never put themselves in a position to achieve great things."
It is obvious that the editors at the Kansan should consider these insightful words the next
time they question anyone's accomplishments, especially Williams'.

Culture belongs to its members,not others
In the "Overheard" section March 17, Dion Jones made a statement that Native Americans have a very rich culture that everyone should be able to enjoy. This statement speaks volumes about the unacknowledged white privilege that permeates the University of Kansas. If you don't think so, ask yourself a few questions.
First of all, where do you think the term 'Native American' comes from? Whether you agree with it or not, you should know where it comes from. Otherwise, how can you make an informed decision about its accuracy or any possible hidden meaning?
Furthermore, what gives everyone a right to enjoy indigenous culture? This statement was a blatant indication of unacknowledged racism. If you don't think so, ask yourself why would someone think that everyone should be able to enjoy indigenous cultures? I do not have a right to enjoy what is not mine, and in a just world, neither does any other person.
Unfortunately, we live in a world rife with unearned skin-color privilege, which recently manifested itself here at the University in the skit. "Don't Drink the Water" at Rock Chalk Revive.

Dose of PC applied to Rock Chalk Revue
As an alumnus of the University of Kansas now living in North Central Kansas, the articles and columns n the March 16 issue about the protests regarding the "offensive" skit performed by Alpha Delta Pi and Lambda Chi Alpha at Rock Chalk Revue caught my eye.
The whole thing certainly appears to be much ado about nothing. For years, the rallying cry of those connected with any university and especially the University of Kansas has been to hold sacred the free and open expression of thoughts and ideas. I find it ironic that Spike Lee and others are provided access to University facilities and forums to express concerns and expressions that are deemed relevant to those who are now termed "people of color," while the freedom of expression of a mere skit in Rock Chalk Revue is questioned by many.
Make no mistake about it, I firmly believe in the rights of all on Mount Oread to express freely and openly questions and concerns about our society. This certainly includes those views that emulate from the political and social left side of the spectrum. However, this right of freedom of expression is not one that is unilateral in nature.
All societal views, regardless of the perceived correctness of the content should be tolerated and allowed. Viewing this matter from afar, it sure seems like a heavy dose of political correctness is being applied by some to achieve a chilling effect on free speech.

I was discouraged by the Native American protest staged on March 14 in front of the Lied Center prior to Rock Chalk Revue. What I saw of the protest was in every respect orderly and the protesters conducted themselves in a proper manner and had every right to be there and stage their protest.
I was discouraged because what the protectors were protesting was free speech. The protesters were offended because they believed that one of the shows ridicued Native Americans. I could not figure out what the show in question had to do with Indians, but let us assume for the sake of argument that the show did in fact ridicule Native Americans. So what?
Freedom of speech allows freedom for the speech we hate.
Freedom of speech allows ridicule, satire and opposition toward anything, including white supremacy hate groups.
Bill Clinton, Ku Klux Klan,
Republicans, fat girls, Christians,
Hispanics, short men, Texans,
Democrats, KState football
fans, whites, blacks, and yes,
even Native Americans. Freedom
of speech is exactly what its
name implies. Freedom.
Kansas is the home of William Allen White and Rousseau Burch, two of the great champions of free speech of this century, as well as the Kansas Supreme Court, which issued decisions culminating in New York Times vs. Sullivan, one of the fundamental expressions of free speech laid down by the United States Supreme Court. Kansas has long been the bastion of free speech in this country and perhaps no other state has so consistently been in the forefront of preserving and maintaining a broadly interpreted right to freedom of speech.
The protesters in front of the Lied Center sought to prohibit the free speech of the author of the show in question and to limit the right of free speech solely to the ideas favored by them. The fact that the protest was styled under the thin glume of preserving cultural diversity made it all the more pernicious. Attempts to limit free speech frequently masquerade under the politically correct extiguiations of the era. The protest in front of the Lied Center was another attempt to stifle and subvert the First Amendment right of freedom of speech.

Kansas Legislature should pass snake bill
It appears that Kansas will continue to host one of the most barric events in the civilized world. No bill was ever introduced during the 1989 Kansas legislative session that would have banned the rattlesnake roundups that are held in Wallace County. One bill that would have stopped the commercial use of rattlesnake parts never made it out of committee, and another that would have restricted the importation of non-native venomous reptiles into Kansas also never made it out of committee. Both were in the same committee, and the chairperson of that committee, Representative Joann Flower, let it be known that she never had any intention of hearing testimony on either bill. The fact that Flower received hundreds of e-mail messages from around the world as well as phone calls and letters from a diversity of concerned people did not have an effect.
Several Kansas organizations, including the Environmental Action Class at Topeka College School, campaigned hard to either stop or better control rattlesnake roundups in Kansas. Some of the same groups, as well as medical groups, educators, hunters, fishermen, ranchers, and farmers tried to get Flower to at least consider the bill that would have better restricted the importation of non-native venomous reptiles into Kansas. That bill did nothing to ban rattlesnake roundups, but it would have helped keep deadly animals such as western diamond-back rattlesnakes out of the state. For some unknown reason, Flower does not like Kansas rattlesnakes, but she is not willing to help pass legislation that would keep some of the much more deadly non-native rattlesnakes out of Kansas.
The rattlesnake roundups will continue in Kansas for at least another year. The image of Kansas will not improve in the near future. Time will tell if the roundups are having a negative impact on other forms of life in the roundup areas. Kansans and the world will wait for someone to be killed in the state from the bite of a non-native venomous reptile such as one of the many western diamondback rattlesnakes that are brought into Kansas every year from nearby states.
At least people such as the students in the Topeka Collegiate School Environmental Action Class know they did their best. They researched the issue. They gathered documented facts. The facts were presented. However, they, and lots of others, learned that legislation is not always based on the facts.

Disgruntled students take feuds to court
By Rannie Wachter

Kansan staff writer
Many students living in apartments begin battling with their landlords about possession of security deposits at this time of year. Other students must battle one another when a roommate moves out and refuses to continue paying rent.
When these situations arise, students often find themselves headed to small claims court.
Jay Coffman, Clerk of the District Court, said that small claims court was unique because it handles non-criminal cases, witnesses are paid to testify and no lawyers oruries are involved.
"The only way you can have a lawyer is if you bring a case against a lawyer," Coffman said.
He said that in small claims court the plaintiff has 15 minutes to argue a case. The defendant may then make statements, which Coffman said are usually brief. After listening to both sides, the judge makes a decision.
Coffman said that small claims court has jurisdiction on informal cases involving Algeria $1,000
"If you ever seen a people's court, it's still like that," Coffman said.
tion of non-criminal cases involving less than $1,800.
"If you've ever seen 'People's Court,' it's stuff like
If students need to file a claim involving a matter between $1,801 and $10,000,they will go to the limited civil court.
Shawn Rogers, an intern for Legal Services for Students, said that many students come to the office seeking assistance for small claims cases.
"There's really not that much we can do for them, because there's no lawyers allowed there," Rogers said. "We write demand letters to the landlords, and if we can't get our demands, we have to let them go to small claims court."
Jo Hardesty, director of Legal Services for Students, said that her office had to refer students to the court for a number of other matters as well.
"A lot of times, students will be fighting businesses over car repairs, or who was at fault in an accident." Hardy said.
She said that before students filed claims, she recommended that they watch a case being argued in court.
"We want them to know what they're getting into," she said.
Coffman said that before plaintiffs can argue a case to regain money, they must spend money.
Small claims court charges $19.50 to file a case involving matters of $500 or less and $39.50 for cases between $501 and $1,800.
"The fees will get outrageous if you're trying to collect like $200," Coffman said. "You're just trying to get your money back."
Sex, Judaism topic of discussion
Hillel Foundation sponsors programs on religious relations
By Sara Anderson sanderson@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Sex and religion.
The two subjects will go hand in hand as Jewish Sex Week begins tomorrow.
Events for the week, sponsored by the Hillel Foundation, continue through Tuesday, April 7. Programs will explore sexuality within the Jewish culture including different customs and practices specific to Judaism. This is the first time Jewish Sex Week has been presented at the University of Kansas.
Ayelet Goldberg, Hillel Foundation program director, said that the members of Hillel were excited about the week.
"We're taking an in-depth look at
one of the hottest topics on college campuses with the focus of how Jews look at it," Goldberg said.
Amy Ravis, co-coordinator of the week and Overland Park junior, said that each day would have its own theme and that the range of topics was diverse.
"It includes everything from issues of childbirth, purity and how men and women should deal with marital relations, but also issues of homosexuality in Judaism as well," Ravis said.
Goldberg said that the Jewish religion had definite values about sex that differed from other religions in both the modern and traditional sense. She said that the programs would explore these differences and variations within the three branches of Judaism.
"Each of the three branches, Orthodox, Conservative and Reform, have their own views too," she said. "We hope to educate as well as understand each other's views."
Goldberg said that the week was different from other programs that
addressed sexuality because Hillel was taking it from a different perspective.
"We're taking it from a Jewish point of view and focusing on the customs of the different sections," she said. "It should be fascinating for all students because a lot of it comes from traditions in the Old Testament."
Ravis agreed and said that all students were encouraged to attend.
"It will give them a chance to compare and contrast their own issues with those of the Jewish community in a safe and familiar environment," she said.
Goldberg said the programs would be of importance to students.
"Sex is something that is widely practiced but not widely talked about," she said. "So we need to do this to educate people."
Goldberg said that one of the main goals was to help students understand that there were definite views about sexuality within religions and to give them a place to discuss their ideas and thoughts.
"We want others to know that we

do have views," she said. "We want them to know that it's not something we hide from and that it's part of our culture. The focus of the week is to see the different aspects of Jewish sexuality and give people a forum to discuss it.
Faculty takes a break with new program
"We hope students will take with them an awareness of all the different points of view and have a place to discuss it with spiritual leaders and a place to get together and talk."

Kansan staff writer
While the University of Kansas' student body was kicking back on spring break, some faculty were kicking off a new program to bring the Internet to more classrooms.
The program, called Using Technology in Instruction, is aimed at assisting faculty in multimedia presentation and Internet applications, said Sue Nishikawa, coordinator of ASTUTE, which is organizing the workshops.
Professors were chosen by the heads of their schools based on interest and need for technology in the classroom. Nishikawa said.
The teachers selected will receive PC laptop computers worth about $2,300, Nishikawa said. The computers come with a variety of software such as Microsoft Office 97 and Netscape Navigator. They will run at 166 MHz and are equipped with a
Sandra Gautt, assistant provost,
said that the idea had originated from the chancellor's and provost's offices. The laptops will allow professors to use the technology in their classrooms, as well as being able to explore the Internet in their offices and homes, Gautt said. She said that the program was modeled from a similar effort at the University.
CD-ROM drive, a 56k modem and an Ethernet card. At a series of workshops, the faculty members will be instructed in the computers' use.
The high-powered systems, combined with the workshops, will give the faculty a much-needed advantage in dealing with technology, Nishikawa said.
"This is to help faculty develop skills for online development," Nishikawa said. "We hope that by becoming familiar with the Internet and its resources, they will be able to bring in those resources. We have not been able to do this before."
sity of Iowa.
Students should be the ones benefitting from their instructors' increased knowledge of the Internet and technology in general, she said.
"They will be able to do some things that they have been unable to do in terms of multimedia in the classroom," she said. "The goal is to take the concepts and information, and using technology, make them easier to present to students."
Ray Taghavi, associate professor of engineering and participant in the program, said that the computer and the workshop would be invaluable to him as a teacher. Taghavi said that even something small such as being able to create a Web page would benefit his classroom.
Being able to teach students how to use Internet resources will be another benefit of the program, he said.
"It's good supplemental help," he said. "It can't substitute for engineering classes, but you always want to learn new stuff. I've just never had the time. I'm just looking at this as an opportunity to spend three days to do something like this. If I just put two courses on the Internet, students immediately get the benefits."
"This is to help faculty develop skills for online development. We hope that by becoming familiar with the Internet and its resources, they will be able to bring in those resources. We have not been able to do this before."

Jonesboro shooting victims buried
Three laid to rest Saturday after attack at school
The Associated Press
JONESBORO, Ark. — This grieving community buried two more little girls and a teacher Saturday, saying goodbye with songs, symbols of childhood and prayers that something good will come out of the tragedy.
Mourners wept for the victims of Tuesday's shootings at Westside Middle School and ministers said their short lives would not be forgotten.
"The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away," the Rev. Alvin Swan said to Stephanie Johnson's mother, Tina McIntyre. "God gave you Stephanie. You had 12 wonderful years."
At the end of the service at Emerson Funeral Home, McIntyre stroked her daughter's brown hair and kissed her on the cheek. She put a baby doll and a teddy bear with a yellow rose tied to it in the casket.
"This is a tragedy that we wish could be turned about, but it can't."
Swan told about 200 mourners. "Perhaps we can draw strength from this."
Johnson's was the first of three funerals Saturday for victims of a shooting rampage that left four young girls and a teacher dead. A funeral for Brittney Varner, 11, was held during the afternoon in a rural cemetery southeast of Jonesboro. English teacher Shannon Wright was buried in Bono, just a few miles from this northeast Arkansas city of 50,000.
"Britthney was always bubbly," said the Rev. William Holt, her minister at Revival Tabernacle Church in Bono. "I don't care how low you were, give her two minutes of time, and she would have you lifted back up.
"I will miss those hugs. I will miss that little sweet voice telling me she loved me. Those kids at school will miss that little precious girl."
A pink stuffed rabbit was placed inside Brittnev's casket.
Eleven-year-old Natalie Brooks and 12-year-old Paige Ann Herring, each remembered for smiles and upbeat attitudes, were laid to rest in separate services Friday.
All five died in Tuesday's bloody shooting, which sent 10 others to the hospital and left another slightly injured. Drew Golden, 11, and
Mitchell Johnson, 13, are being held on five counts each of murder and 10 counts of battery. Police say the two, dressed in camouflage and armed with rifles and handguns, ambushed classmates and staff members who had left the school after one of the boys triggered a fire alarm.
Wright died shielding a child, but she may also have been an intentional target.
Cindy Angel, 39, said Saturday night that her step-granddaughter, Misty Angel, 12, and Johnson came home from school Monday and told her of threats made by Mitchell.
"He said he was going to kill the girl who had broken up with him, and the others who had made him mad and Mrs. Wright," Cindy Angel said. "I didn't think much of it."
At the funeral for Wright, who leaves behind a 2-year-old son, ministers encouraged her fellow teachers to take a rose — a symbol of life — back to the school.
"Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friend," said the Rev. Gary Cremeens, quoting the gospel of John. "Help us to remember what she did with her life, and help us to go and do likewise."
Cremeens said Wright had the voice of an angel and acted like a saint.

"There is a community and a
nation, I believe, who are grateful for what she has done," he said. "She gave her life doing something positive for our children."
At Johnson's funeral, mourners walked up to the open casket in groups of three or four as mourners listened to Hootie and the Blowfish's "Let Her Cry," and Elton John's "Candle in the Wind 1997." Several people wept softly during Puff Daddy's tribute to a fallen friend, "I'll Be Missing You."
A bulletin board showed pictures of Johnson, from infancy to a girl on the verge of her teen years.
"When I closed my eyes in remembrance, I seen Stephanie and the Lord spoke to me and said, 'She's so innocent,' " Swan said.
Safari so good for Clinton's African tour
The Associated Press
CHOBE NATIONAL PARK, Botswana—In a country that is home to 80,000 elephants, President Clinton turned from foreign diplomacy for a safari in one of Africa's premier wildlife refuges.
The safari was the president's first and only break from an otherwise grueling, 11-day tour of Ghana, Uganda, Rwanda, South Africa, Botswana and Senegal to forge a new partnership with Africa and expand American business investment opportunities.
Ten minutes from Clinton's thatched-roof lodge, dozens of baboons played in the brush and a muddy elephant sprayed river water on his back.
Schoolchildren clapping their hands and singing "This is Botswana, we greet you," welcomed the president and his wife, Hillary, on Sunday to the modest airport at Kasane. Minutes later, barefoot teen-age girls and boys danced a greeting in front of a fat 900-year-old baobab tree at Mowana Safari Lodge. The comfortable airconditioned resort is the Clintons' home for two nights on the Chobe River.
Guests are warned that hippo and other wildlife roam the grounds and can be dangerous. As always, the Clintons were accompanied by Secret Service agents.
With darkness descending and the
mosquitoes rising soon after their arrival, the Clintons spent their first night inside. There was a 5 a.m. roundup call for members of the president's party Monday. The early morning is the best time to see lions.
Sprawled over 4,200 square miles, Chobe National Park is named after the Chobe River on Botswana's north border. Her huge herds of elephants and Cape buffalo come together along the banks of the Chobe.
Arriving ahead of the president, members of his traveling party went out looking for animals and found them in abundance. They saw hippos submerged in the river and Cape buffalo standing on the shore. There were eagles, waterbucks, impalas, Egyptian geese, egrets, maribou stork, kudu, two wart hogs, many baboons and two dozen elephants.
The president's official delegation, numbering more than 100 people at earlier stops, slimmed considerably for the safari.
Clinton flew to Botswana from a three-day state visit in South Africa. He stopped in Gaborone, the capital of Botswana, to meet with President Ketumile Masire, who is to step down tomorrow after 18 years as leader of one of Africa's most economically successful and politically stable nations.
Masire was delighted that Clinton would visit Chobe because it probably will boost tourism. In just the last day or so, Botswana inaugurated a digitally-based cellular telephone system, and the president took note of that.

"The fight to make the most of your freedom, to do the right things with your freedom,to give your children the right future with your freedom - that, too, will be a marathon. But we want to run that race with you."

The president announced he will establish a new radio broadcasting service for Africa to promote democracy and human rights throughout the continent. Broadcast 221/2 hours a week, Radio Democracy for Africa will be a division of Voice of America.
"America needs more Botswanas, and America is determined to support all those who would follow your lead," the president said at the State House, the presidential residence in Gaborone.
Excited about his safari, Clinton told Masire about a friend who stayed at the Mowana Safari Lodge and woke up one morning with a baboon sitting at the end of his bed, press secretary Mike McCurry related. Clinton also remarked that he had heard there was one elephant for every 18 people in Botswana; other estimates say there is one for every 16 people.
Beginning the day in South Africa, the Clintons joined Jesse Jackson for Sunday mass at Regina Mundi Catholic Church in the black township of Soweto. There were rousing cheers from the congregation, and the organist plaved "America the Beautiful."
The church was a refuge for Black activists during apartheid, and locals said it was the only place where Angelican Archbishop Desmond Tutu could say Mass.
Speaking at the altar, Clinton said South Africa's recovery from decades of apartheid would be a long struggle. He compared it to a marathon race that takes a long time and becomes painful.
"The fight to make the most of your freedom, to do the right things with your freedom, to give your children the right future with your freedom — that, too, will be a marathon," the president said. "But we want to run that race with you."
Archaeologists dig up oldest known synagogue
Place of worship found in Israel near Jericho
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM — Israel archaeologists have found the world's oldest synagogue in the ruins of a 2,000-year-old palace outside the West Bank town of Jericho.
Archaeologists uncovered the synagogue, which dates from 50-70 B.C., in the ruins of a Maccabean winter palace, Ehud Netzer, a professor of archaeology at Hebrew University, said Sunday.
Netzer said worshippers would have sat on a bench along pillars in the synagogue's basilica-shaped hall. The Torah,
the Jewish holy book, most likely was read in the middle of the room.
In an adjoining room, archaeologists found a U-shaped bench that Netzer said probably was used for ceremonial meals.
Netzer said the synagogue was important because of its age and direct connection with the Maccabean monarchy.
The synagogue was not lavish, but its floors might have been carpeted. he said.
He said it also gave scholars a clearer picture of synagogues that existed in the land of Israel prior to the destruction of the Temple in A.D. 70.
The palace where the synagogue stands is adjacent to Wadi Kelt, then a Jewish town near Jericho that was a winter resort for the wealthy and year-
round home to farmers. Today Wadi Kelt is in the part of the West Bank that remains under full Israeli control.
Until the discovery of the Wadi Kelt synagogue, the oldest known synagogue was in Gamle in the Golan Heights. The Gamle synagogue was built about 50 years later than the Wadi Kelt synagogue, Netzer said.
An earthquake destroyed the synagogue and the palace in 31 B.C., and King Herod later built another palace over the ruins.
The Maccabees, or Hasmoneans, headed a successful revolt against the Greco-Syrians in the second century B.C., today marked by the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, and spearheaded a

Pill arouses new hopes for impotence
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Tolman Geffs pops a pill every night so he's ready if his wife is in the mood for sex. It's his solution to the prostate-cancer surgery that left him impotent—and now millions of other men may try it, too.
The Food and Drug Administration on Friday approved Pfizer Inc.'s Viagra, the first pill to treat impotence, after testing showed it helped about two-thirds of impotent men improve their sexual function.
"I consider it my nighttime vitamin," said Geffs, 64, of Trabuco Canyon, Calif., who has taken the pill as part of Pfizer's clinical trials. "It brings back the spontaneity in a normal marital life."
Pfizer said it would begin shipping Viagra to pharmacies within two weeks, with a wholesale price of $7 per pill. Men are supposed to take no more than one prescription-only pill a day, about an hour before intercourse.
Unlike other treatments for impotence, Viagra users won't get an erection unless they are sexually stimulated. That's because Viagra itself doesn't produce an erection — it maintains and improves one by affecting a chemical found mainly in the penis during arousal.
"There are some patients who only will need to take it for a short term and it jump-starts their own system," said Harin Padma-Nathan of the University of Southern California. "There are other patients that will need it lifelong, such as patients who had a spinal cord injury or severe diabetes."
Impotence affects an estimated 10 million to 20 million American men, yet only 5 percent get medical treatment. It's embarrassing to discuss, and treatments already available can make them wince: Penile implants require surgery; vacuum-style devices that force blood into the penis interrupt lovemaking; injecting drugs or inserting suppositories into the penis is uncomfortable and occasionally causes hours-long erections.
Padma-Nathan said just knowing there was an oral alternative quickly could increase the proportion of patients seeking treatment to 20 percent. Analysts agreed, predicting Viagra sales could hit $300 million this year alone.
But the pill also has been much-hyped as a sexual revolution for healthy men merely seeking to increase or improve their sexual activity. That's wrong, said specialists who are concerned about the potential for abuse.
"Yes, it's an erection improver but only in men with erectile dysfunction," said Padma-Nathan, director of The Male Clinic in Santa Monica, Calif. "This drug does not change libido or desire, and it's not going to have any impact on normal men."
Viagra, known chemically as sildenafil, is a failed heart drug that Pfizer pursued after some heart patients unexpectedly reported having erections.
In studies of 4,000 men with varying erectile dysfunction, 64 percent to 72 percent successfully completed intercourse after taking Viagra, compared to 23 percent of men taking a dummy pill.
Impotence increases with age and is caused mostly by such medical problems as diabetes, heart disease, prostate surgery and spinal cord injury. It also can be psychological or a side effect of certain drugs.
But just prescribing a pill isn't proper therapy, warned James Barada, an Albany, N.Y., physician representing the American Urological Association. Patients must get treated for underlying disease — and understand that the pill isn't a silver bullet, he said.
Barada said the pill was a great advance in the sense that it will increase awareness of impotence treatments, but it's not going to be for everybody.
Heart patients taking nitroglycerin should not use Viagra because the drugs can interact to reduce blood pressure, doctors said.
But other side effects were rare and mild — mostly headaches, facial flushing and upset stomach. A few men experienced strange visual effects: About 3 percent see a blue tinge while taking the recommended dose, and higher doses left them unable to distinguish between the colors blue and green.

Consumerism commercialism ruin Final Four
SAN ANTONIO — Few things can be more chaotically entertaining than the parties and celebrations leading up to tonight's NCAA basketball final.
Not the Super Bowl, not the NBA Finals, not The Crossing during $1 draws.
People here are mad.
There are Conga lines in the convention center, rock concerts in the middle of the streets, and boats filled with pep bands and cheerlead
ers that float through the middle of the city.
There are hundreds, no, thousands — heck, maybe millions of people crossing crosswalks at the same time, filling bars, lining the river to watch the boats full of bands and cheerleaders, painting their faces, wearing funny hats, running through the streets screaming "Go Wildcats" and partying until... actually, they haven't stopped partying.

Even the fans from Utah are showing that yes, they too can get down.
The Alamo hasn't seen this type of invasion since, well, since it was invaded.
There is too much commercialism, and some of the fans' attitudes simply stink.
And yet, despite all the hoopla and excitement and sense of awe; despite the great games that have been played here and the great one that will be played tonight between Kentucky and Utah, something is wrong. Something just doesn't feel right.
It is a disgusting display of how pervasive business has become in college sports.
Everywhere you turn, something is being sold, hawked, pushed or given away. There are Nike Swooshes on the jerseys, GTE logos plastered on the seat cushions, Hershey's candy being thrown around, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell-sponsored events, and Coca-Cola bottles and the Budweiser blimp everywhere.
The other problem around here is some of the fans. Some of these people are not here for the game. They are simply here to say that they were at the game. For them, it's all about status.
I don't want to generalize. This is only a minority of the people here, but they are hard to avoid.
They are more interested in flashing around their position, money and imagined influence at the respective institutions than they are at cheering on their team.
While I was on a boat ride, there was a man from Kentucky who insisted on asking everyone where their seats were. He was not genuinely interested but instead wanted to show us that he had better seats.
It's the third consecutive season this man has been to the Final Four. His recollection of the games was nil, but his recollection of the seats was crisp.
Then there were the other Kentucky fans who couldn't stop buying pins. One of them had a ribbon with about 15 commemorative pins clipped on his chest. He couldn't help but show them off.
He also couldn't help tell us how much they cost and what they are going to be worth.
He was into stuff. He was into everything you could buy and collect and spend lots of money on. He was less interested in the game.
And let me not forget the guy from North Carolina. He had good seats, he had lots of stuff and, oh yeah, he knew the whole team. Or at least he claimed to. This made him a big man in the company of his fellow boosters. But like the others, this was what was important to him. The game was just an afterthought.
There are many examples of this: people who are at the Final Four not for the love and excitement of the event, but so that when they return home they will be able to tell people they went to the game. It's about status for them, and that tarnishes everything.
A very nice woman from Kentucky even offered me a button that said, "Kentucky, doing it one more time!" If I would promise to root for the Widows'ticats
But I told her I was holding out for a better offer from the Utah fans.

'Hawks fall in extra inning
By John Blakely Wilson
Kansan sportswriter
The ninth-ranked Oklahoma Sooners had three home runs and 18 hits into a stiff wind blowing in from center field Sunday while beating the Kansas baseball team 14-11 in ten innings at Hoglund-Maupin Stadium.
Kansas entered the bottom of the eighth inning tied with the Sooners at 11 when right fielder Doug Dreher hit a one-out single, and Clint Wyrick replaced him as pinch runner.
Shortstop John Nelson followed. He hit into left field that would have scored Wyrick, but Sooner left fielder Bobby Walters made a diving catch and flipped the ball into the infield. Wyrick was slow to return to first base and was tagged out to end the inning.
The Jayhawks failed to score another run in the game, and Oklahoma scored three in the top of the tenth against losing pitcher Pete Smart (1-1) to put the game away.
"Even though we lost that game, we competed play-for-play with a great team
today," Smart said. "If we play that hard all the time, we'll start winning a lot more games."
Kansas trailed 6-1 coming into its half of the fourth inning when the offense came alive against Sooner ace Geoff Geary. Second baseman Andy Juday led a Kansas five-run barrage with a two-run single, one of his four hits on the day. Kansas scored ten runs in five and two-thirds innings against Geary, who entered the game with a 6-1 record.
"There were a lot of major league scouts here to see OU's starter throw and that's the hardest he's been hit all year," Kansas coach Bobby Randall said. "We scored 11 runs against a good team not by taking walks but by driving the ball hard."
The Sooners were led by clean up hitter Casey Bookout, who is on pace to reach 30 home runs this season. Bookout, the Big 12 Conference home-run leader with 15, hit a home run and batted in three runs. Catcher Ryan Van Horn and second baseman Corey Hart also hit home runs for the Sooners.
Kansas pitchers had trouble throwing
strikes throughout the game, allowing eight walks. Starting pitcher Les Walrond allowed five runs in one and two-thirds innings, three of which were from walks.
Relief pitcher Casey Barrett injured his elbow warming up before the eighth inning. Barrett was effective before the injury, allowing just one run in two and two-thirds innings.
"It was tough on us when Casey got hurt because we wanted him to finish the game," Randall said. "We had to bring Pete Smart back after he had thrown several innings yesterday."
Designated hitter Shane Wedd finished a spring break hitting streak with his fifth home run in as many days in the sixth inning.
"I'm just trusting my abilities more than earlier in the year," Wedd said. "We've all learned to focus and compete hard against top Big 12 teams."

Historic season for KU women
By Kevin C. Wilson
OAKLAND, Calif. - Marian Washington couldn't have asked for a more memorable 25th season as the coach of the Kansas women's basketball team.
The Jayhawks went 23-9, finished third in the Big 12 Conference, advanced to the finals of the Big 12 Tournament and reached the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament for only the second time in school history.
Kansan sportswriter.
"I have never been more proud of a group of women than this team I've got." Washington said. "This young team has fought hard all season long. They've done it in spite of people underestimating them and have really made us proud."
Kansas achieved all of this despite starting two juniors, a sophomore and two freshmen.
Guard Shandy Robbins, a junior-college transfer, said that she enjoyed her first season at Kansas and looked forward to
"It was a young team and we did a lot of good things," Robbins said. "I believe we could have gone further but unfortunately it ended this way. I just know what it takes to go further next year. We're just going to work hard in the off season and keep pushing ourselves."
accomplishing even more next year.
Washington: prouduc of young team and super season.
Sophomore Lynn Pride said that playing with her new teammates was a great experience.
"These freshmen did a tremendous job this year," Pride said. "I'll take a lot from this game and next week we'll know exactly what to do to surpass what we did this season."
There is every reason to believe that next year's team will be even better this year's
Javhawks.
In addition, the Jayhawks will add a spectacular recruiting class, ranked No. 6 in the country, to their already burgeoning talent pool.
Kansas returns all five of its starters, its top eight scorers and loses only one senior, reserve Koya Scott, to graduation.
Washington said that she was proud of what her team had achieved this season and was looking forward to doing it again next year...

"Just getting to the NCAA Tournament was a tremendous accomplishment for this team," Washington said. "Advancing to the Sweet 18 was just unbelievable. They really need to be applauded for their efforts. They have really accomplished a lot."

Commentary
Trapp suicide leaves some wondering why
I refused to believe the news Wednesday. It's still hard for me to believe the news today.
Jennifer Trapp, a 6-foot-1 forward for the Kansas women's basketball team in 1993-97, committed suicide by a gunshot wound to the head Wednesday morning in her parents' Lawrence home. One question has haunted me ever since.
Whv?
The 23-year-old had planned to return to Kansas in the fall to complete her bachelor of science degree in secondary education.
YOGI SHANKAR
Tommy Gallager
sports@kansan.com
Trapp had played two seasons in European basketball leagues one in Luxembourg and one in Finland before returning to the United States recently. She had hoped to try out and sign with a team in either the ABL or WNBA this spring.
People who had seen Trapp in the days before her death said nothing appeared wrong.
I talked with Trapp about a month ago on campus. We talked for less than a minute, just long enough to catch up with where she had been and for me to wish her the best of luck in the future.
That was the Jennifer Trapp I knew. And that was the Jennifer Trapp her coaches and teammates always knew.
Trapp was a hometown hero in Lawrence.
Kansas coach Marian Washington described Trapp, who started all but one game of her 122-game career, as a warrior who refused to accept anything less than 100 percent from herself and her peers. Angie Halbleib and other former teammates called Trapp the glue that held together last season's senior-laden 25-6 team.
But because Trapp was a warrior who never accepted defeat, one question ran through my head.
Why?
Trapp was a hometown hero in Lawrence. She visited one school — Kansas — before choosing to stay home instead of bolting for Colorado or Nebraska, among other colleges. She also lettered in volleyball and track at Lawrence High School.
Teen-aged and elementary school girls in the region idolized Trapp because she symbolized the hopes and dreams of children who wished to succeed in sports. Trapp relished the role, signing autographs for children and speaking with their parents after home games.
During an interview a year ago, Trapp said she majored in education because she wanted to make a difference in the lives of America's youth. She hoped to show young women the importance of sports and the lessons they could teach.
Who knows what would propel someone to deem a situation so miserable that the only way to escape would be to take her own life. We may never understand why Trapp determined her own fate.
I remember her parents, Rick and Patti, brimming with pride and tears on Senior Day last season thinking about what their daughter had achieved during her career. They never missed a home game and cherished the memories she had given them.
Sometimes we wear a mask just to make it through the day, to save some sanity in what can be an unpredictable world.
Because Trapp wanted to make an impact, again I asked myself one simple question. Why?
Trapp dove for loose balls and never shied from taking a charge. She sacrificed everything she had for the team. Trapp endured bumps, bruises and even some stitches.
She embodied most every quality of what the quintessential team player was supposed to be.
But those memories cannot revive a life lost all too soon. They only can help us remember a fellow student who decided that she had enough, for whatever reason. The loss of Trapp put a damper on spring break. It's a shame this event ever occurred, but it did.
We usually deal with winning and losing in sports. But in this instance, we all lost.

No break for men's tennis; team wins three, loses two
By Erin Thompson Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas men's tennis team finished spring break with a record of 3-2.
The Jayhawks defeated No. 32 University of Nevada-Las Vegas twice during the week. The most recent win came on Friday when the Jayhawks defeated the Rebels 4-1 in Las Vegas.
The Jayhawks battled the weather as well as the Rebels. Two singles matches were canceled because of high winds and cold conditions.
The Jayhawks overcame their struggles with doubles and swept doubles play against UNLV.
On Wednesday the Jayhawks fell to California 5-2, with the two wins coming from senior Trent Tucker and junior Luis Uribe.
The Jayhawks also played in the Blue/Gray Tournament March 19-21
in Montgomery. Ala.
The team made an impressive run in the tournament. It opened the first round with an upset win against No. 16 Auburn. The Tigers are the highest-ranked opponent Kansas has defeated this season.
The match was decided by the No. 2 singles match won by senior Xavier Avila.
In the second round of the tournament, the Jayhawks defeated UNLV 4-3.
Boise State snapped the Jayhawks' four-match win streak in the semifinals by defeating Kansas 4-1.
Kansas coach Mark Riley said he was pleased with the team's play during the tournament.
"While it's always disappointing to lose, we came here and beat two very good teams in Auburn and UNLV," he said. "We proved that we are still one of the nation's top programs."
Avila's play at the tournament garnered him the Big 12 Player of the Week award for the week of March 23.

Kansas basketball fans got a glimpse of their future Wednesday night.
Jayhawk recruit Jeff Boschie hit 3-of-9 shots and scored seven points for the West in its 128-112 loss to the East in the McDonald's All-America game.
Boschee, a 6-foot-1 point guard from Valley City (N.D.) High School, also competed in the McDonald's three-point shot competition Tuesday night. He scored 17 points in the final round, one point less than the leader, and placed second.
On Thursday, Boschee was named to the 1998 Parade All-America High School Boys Basketball Team. Kansas featured six Parade All-American this season, including Nick Bradford, Eric Chenowith, Lester Earl, Kenny Gregory, Rae LaFrentz and Paul Pierce.
Boschee will play in the Capital Classic All-Star game on April 8 in Washington, D.C.
KANSAS NOTEBOOK:
Boschee led his school to a 20-6 record and a third-place finish in the North Dakota Class A boys' basketball tournament. He averaged 25 points and six assists per game this season.
Kansas guard Billy Thomas placed third in the three-point shot competition Wednesday night at the Final Four in San Antonio.
Thomas scored 15 points in the quarterfinals and advanced. His 17-point performance in the semifinals was not enough to qualify for the finals. Virginia guard Curtis Staples placed first, and Notre Dame forward Pat
Garrity placed second.
Thomas said he would have preferred to play in the Final Four instead of participating in the three-point competition.
A. N.
"I was hoping I'd be busy that weekend," Thomas said after the Jayhawks' season-ending loss to Rhode Island on March 15. "But I guess I'll be there, even if I prefer to be somewhere else that weekend."
Thomas: placed third in the three-point competition.
Coach Roy Williams received the IKON Champion Award on Thursday night at the National Association of Basketball Coaches awards banquet in recognition for raising the most money among his peers for Coaches vs. Cancer.
In his fourth season as a member of Coaches vs. Cancer, Williams' program raised $87,247.10. It marked the second consecutive year his program raised more than $85,000 for Coaches vs. Cancer.
Williams said he became associated with Coaches vs. Cancer because of his mother's death from cancer in the summer of 1992.
"Since then, I have tried to become more involved in helping others who have been affected by cancer," Williams said. "It just makes you feel better when you know you are doing your part to help others battle against this disease."
Raef LaFrentz finished a distant second to North Carolina forward Antawn Jamison in the Associated Press' Player of the Year voting Thursday.
Jamison collected 110 votes from a nation-wide panel of sports writers and broadcasters while LaFrentz received 35. Duke guard Traian Langdon finished third with 15 votes.
Tales of Williams departing hit Dome
By Spencer Duncan
Kansan sportswriter
SAN ANTONIO—With so much going on down here, it is tough to keep track of what's what, who's who and where's where. But there also is no shortage of happenings. Here are a few tidbits from the NCAA men's Final Four.
■ Let the Roy Williams rumors begin.
Let the Roy Williams begin.
After North Carolina lost to Utah Saturday, talk began to swirl that Bill Guthridge, the Tar Heels' coach, might be on his way out and that the job would be offered to — you guessed it — Williams.
Helping to fuel the speculation was the talk that Williams is building a house in North Carolina.
Williams made an appearance yesterday morning on One-on-One Sports Radio and said he didn't feel it was his place to comment on the matter. Williams did say that he hoped Guth德里克 could coach the remaining four years of his contract. However, Williams did not say if he would consider such an offer at some point.
■ Williams and Athletics Director Bob Frederick both have been hanging out around the city. Williams is playing the part of both coach and father, while Frederick is just being a dad.
The duo's sons, Scott Williams and Brad Frederick, are benchwarmers for the North Carolina Tar Heels, who lost Saturday. But Roy Williams also is taking part in the annual meeting of the National Association of Basketball Coaches.
Thousands of coaches attend the top
Guthridge balked, telling his friend that he thought he would need more money than that. So Guthridge loaned him $100.
So, you think Antwain Jamison, North Carolina's superstar forward, is going to be the first guy taken in the NBA draft if he leaves early. Not necessarily, said a few NBA scouts.
Utah coach Rick Majerus was walking around San Antonio's Riverwalk district when he ran into Guthridge. The two old friends chatted for a few minutes, then Majerus mentioned that he had forgotten his wallet and that he needed something to eat. Majerus asked if he could borrow $50.
Some socks don't feel Jamison can face the basket with any force, and he is shorter than previously was thought. He's listed as 6 foot 9 inches, but he's actually barely 6 foot 8.
Hearing that Jamison wouldn't be a lock as the No. 1 pick has to make Kansas' Raef LaFrentz happy.
If you think Allen Field House concessions prices are bad, take a look at some of these Final Four Alamodome prices:
Talk about kindness among competitors...
Dome dog: $2. Hamburger: $3.50. Pizza (slice): $3. Large popcorn: $4.50. Nachos grande: $5.50. Water: $3.50. Ouch!
But free Oreo cookies were given away.
Merchandise is even more expensive:
There actually is armed security at the doors. No kidding.
Hats are $25, golf shirts are $49.95, T-
shirts are $20, and the official Final Four
program is $10.
secret meeting to talk about the state of the game and to take care of coaching business.
Some people will do anything for a ticket to the game. More precisely, they will pay anything.
Before the Final Four kicked off, tickets were going for no less than $2,500, and some people were paying close to $4,000.
Tickets for tonight's title game are being sold for as much as $3,000.
If too many police officers end up in the stands tonight, some folks might become suspicious.
And there will be empty seats in the Dome. Police have confiscated nearly 50 tickets that were being sold on the street, and those tickets will not be recirculated.
North Carolina guard Shammond Williams was out on the town when he decided to just shoot some free throws. He made 102 consecutive free throws.
Williams and some of his teammates were walking around when they arrived at a Fan Fest where one of the activities was a free-throw shooting contest. Williams, a 91 percent free-throw shooter, grabbed a ball and started shooting.
The senior converted 102 consecutive free throws before he missed.
"It is illegal to sell tickets in or outside of the Alamodome, but that didn't stop anyone. Not only were tickets for tonight's game being sold outside, but also people were looking for buyers and sellers inside the Dome immediately after the games ended Saturday night. One Uatah fan sold his ticket for $200 after the Utes won, and then started looking to buy another ticket. It seemed that he wanted a better seat.

Volunteers net third straight title
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Tennessee capped the perfect season by playing the nearly perfect game.
in a masterful display of running, shooting, passing and rebounding. Tennessee overwhelmed Louisiana Tech 93-75 last night, winning a record third straight women's NCAA title.
The Vols '45th straight victory produced their sixth title, and they finished 39-0 — the most victories ever for a women's team in NCAA play.
Tennessee set a championship game record for most points in a half with and missed the record for most points in a game by four.
All of Tennessee's titles have come under Summitt, who has more NCAA basketball championships than any Division I coach, men's or women's, except UCLA's John Wooden who won 10 championships.
The performance added back to the claim that this Tennessee team might be the best of all time—and there's not likely to be a letup next season. Coach Pat Summitt's team has only one senior.
"They were just awesome tonight," Summit said. "They were really ready to play."
Louisiana Tech (31-4) brought a quick, talented starting five that looked to be good enough to challenge the Vols.
But not on a night when Tennessee was at the top of its game. The Vols jumped to a 13-point lead 5 1/2 minutes into the game and never looked back.
Chamique Holdsclaw pulled up for jump shots did pretty much what she wanted while scoring 25 points.

"We wanted to win a championship for this team —forget about the history," Holdsclaw said.
Freshmen Tamika Catchings and Semeka Randall keyed the Vols' defense that forced the Techsters to take tough shots and rarely gave them a second try.
Catchings scored 27 points, mostly by getting offensive rebounds. Randall flew down the court time and time again on a Tennessee fastbreak and finished with 10 points.
And when Louisiana Tech was completely occupied, Kellie Jolly would hit a wide open 3-pointer. Jolly scored 20, including four three-pointers.
Tamicha Jackson led Louisiana Tech with 25 points, Alisa Burras scored 19 and Monica Maxwell 15. For the longest time, Jackson was the only threat for the Techsters, who were as quick as Tennessee but not nearly as big. Tennessee won the rebounding battle, 49-34.
Burras got three baskets in the opening 2:10
and Tech trailed 8-6. Summit then replaced her center, and Burras went the next 13 1/2 minutes without scoring and Tennessee took off.
First it was an 11-0 run with three baskets by Holdsclaw and a Jolly 3-pointer. That made it 19.6. Then was an 8-2 burst capped by a Kristen Clement-to-Jolly-to Holdsclaw break that took the lead to 27-10.
It was 55-32 at the half.
Tech coach Leon Barmore rarely left his seat in the first half. But he must have said the right thing at halftime because the Teachers scored the first seven points of the second half, drawing to 55-39.
Tennessee came back with 10 straight. Jolly capped the run with a layup, and just like that, it was 65-39.
Louisiana Tech threatened twice more, and Tennessee answered both times.
The Techsters cut the lead to 72-54 when Melshika Bowman worked inside for a bucket with 11:37 left. Jolly responded with
GAME FACTS
- Tennessee cruised to its third straight national championship and its sixth in school history. All of the team's championships have come in the last 12 years.
- Tennessee finished the season 39-0, the most victories ever for a women's team in NCAA play.
- Chamique Holdsclaw scored 25 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, and Kellie Jolly scored a career-high 20 points for the Vols.
- Tennessee set a championship game record for points in a half (55) and missed the record for points in a game by four.
Louisiana Tech fell behind by 13 in the first 5/12 minutes of the game.
Holdsclaw, named the most outstanding player in the Final Four, is now 7-for-7 in championships — four state titles at Christ the King High School in New York and three NCAA crowns at Tennessee.
- Tennessee coach Pat Summit has more NCAA basketball championships than any Division I coach, men's or women's, except UCLA's John Wooden. Wooden won 10 championships.
- Tennessee is the third unbeaten NCAA champion in Division I women's play, following Connecticut (35-0) in 1995 and Texas (34-0) in 1986.
Jackson's pull-up jumper capped an 8-0 run that got the lead down to 79-4. Again Tennessee answered, with six consecutive points, and the Techsters were finished.
back-to-back three-pointers and Holdswclaw sank a free throw to put the margin back at 25.
Tennessee player Final Four MVP
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — This wasn't just an historic night for Tennessee, it was a coronation for Chamique Holdschaw.
Sav hello to Her Airness.
Already secure as the nation's best college player before yesterday's awesome 93-75 victory over Louisiana Tech, Holdsclaw dominated just like Michael Jordan, the man whose uniform number she shares and whose reputation she is earning.
Holdsclaw had 25 points, 10 rebounds and six assists to earn her second straight Final Four MVP award, leading the Lady Volunteers (39-0) to an unprecedented third straight national championship, their record sixth overall.
Holdclaw had 12 points in the game's first 6:39 as the Lady Vols bolted to a 21-8 lead. She scored in traffic and on jump shots, using the familiar fade away that also has drawn comparisons with Jordan. She took command of the game and opened up opportunities for the rest of her talented teammates.
Holdcraw finished the first half with 18 points, seven rebounds and five assists. Tennessee led 55-32 then, and never was seriously challenged in the second half.
Holdsclaw went to the bench with 39 seconds remaining, pumping three fingers in the air before hugging teammate Kellie Jolly as Tennessee's orange-clad fans briefly chanted "Three-peat" for the first time.
It was the seventh straight title for Holdscaw, a loping 6-foot-2 forward with long arms and a smooth gait. She won four straight state championships at New York City's Christ the King High School, and now is 3-for-3 in college.
Kansas' tournament loss to Arkansas ends sweet season
By Kevin C. Wilson
Kanson sportswriter
OAKLAND, Calf. — A second-half meltdown led to the end of a surprising season for the Kansas women's basketball team.
The Jayhawks postseason run came to an abrupt halt March 21 when the Arkansas Razorbacks outscored Kansas 51-31 in the second half. Arkansas won 79-63.
"I thought in the second half they really broke us down," said Kansas coach Marian Washington. "We did some good things,
but they really hurt us at the free throw line."
The Razorbacks were 19-of-25 from the free throw line, including 13-of-14 in the second half. The Javahaws made 5-of-9.
Kansas shot a season-high 60.9 percent compared to Arkansas' 35.7 percent from the field. The Jayhawks led 32-28 at halftime.
But the second half was a different story.
The Razorbacks took the lead with a 26-9 run after halftime. The Jayhawks never got closer than seven points.
game that we have not played our best game yet," said Arkansas coach Gary Blair. "I think we just played the best half of basketball this year."
"I told the team before the
Arkansas guard Sytia Messer scored 17 of her game-high 23 points in the second half.
Kansas forward Lynn Pride, the season's leading scorer and rebounder, had a poor performance.
Pride got her fourth foul with 13:09 left in the game and was on the bench until 5:48.
Pride went 0-of-4 from the field, scored a season low three
points and got one rebound in 27 minutes.
With Pride struggling, forward Jaclyn Johnson scored 18 points. Reserve guard Shandy Robbins had 14 points and a career-high nine rebounds. Guard Suzi Raymant added 14 points.
Washington said that she was delighted with her team's performance this season.
"Iam extremely proud of these women," Washington said. "They are competitors and they never stopped playing. We will be back."

Veteran pitcher gives up majors after comeback try
The Associated Press
HAINES CITY, Fla. — All-time save leader Lee Smith may have ended his career when he left the Kansas City camp after the team decided it could not afford to keep the 40-year-old.
Smith, who saved 478 games for eight teams in 18 years, was asked Friday by Royals manager Tony Muser to accept an assignment to Triple-A Omaha.
Muser and general manager Herk Robinson were trying to protect youthful relievers Jim Pittsley and Brian Bevil, who are out of options.
Smith, who was trying a come back after retiring in July, quietly cleaned out his locker sometime Friday and did not show Saturday, when he was scheduled to pitch.
"I don't want to go down to Triple A for a月龄 or so, hoping that Brian Bevil doesn't throw strikes," Smith said. "That's kind of a weak act for somebody with 18 years in the big leagues to be waiting for somebody to screw up.
"I don't want to wish bad luck on anybody. I'm not that good anyway. If I wanted to put the double whammy on somebody, I'd have done it before now."
Muser wanted to keep Smith as a setup man for closer Jeff Montgomery. Muser is looking for veteran leadership as he tries to turn around a club that has finished last in the division for two straight seasons.
Terry Pendleton, another veteran, apparently has made the team as a utility player for that reason. But the bullpen was too crowded for Smith.
KC
R
Royala
"Lee is a potential Hall of Famer," Robinson said. "I admire his work ethic and all he's done. Those guys have great pride, and I hope he didn't swallow a lot of it."
Smith still hopes to join another
team, but is realistic.
"Right now, I know it's tough with teams cutting back guys, not picking up guys," he said.
"I thought I'd see if I could get with another
ballclub before I made my decision on the Triple A thing.
Smith is well-known for his slow and deliberate walk from the bullpen, starting from the days he established himself with the Chicago Cubs.
He saved 180 games for the Cubs, led the National League with 29 saves in 1983, and had back-to-back seasons of 33 saves in 1984 and 1985.
Smith, who was showing signs of regaining his velocity, moved to Boston and then to St. Louis, where he led the league with 47 saves in 1991 and again in 1992 with 43 saves.
Smith pitched briefly for the Yankees in 1993 before coming back and leading the American League with 33 saves for Baltimore in 1994.
Smith saved 37 games for California in 1994 before drifting from California to Cincinnati and Montreal and then announcing his retirement.
He got off to a slow start this spring with the Royals, but his velocity was increasing and he had not allowed a run in his last 5 2-3 innings.
Smith stayed with the Royals until the end, taking part in a television promotion after being given the news from Muser. He then went to an end-of-camp party with his teammates.
"When you think a pitcher's career is actually six to eight years, I say I've already had three guys' careers already," Smith said. "I know I can still play.
Coach needs a home on the range
New Texas coach preoccupied with Longhorns' game
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — New Texas football coach Mack Brown has been so consumed with getting the Longhorns' program up and running that he hasn't bought a house yet.
The Associated Press
"We'll probably find something and move in in July." Brown said.
Until then, it's apartment living for the Texas coach, who earns $750,000 a year, and his wife, Sally, who has had a lucrative job heading a real estate company in Chapel Hill, N.C.
"We had forgotten what apartment living was like." Brown said.
Brown is consumed with getting Texas football back on track. Searching for houses and quality of life come second — for now.
"He will call you 12 to 15 times a day during recruiting or during the season to say, 'Just wanted you to think about this,'" said Cleve Bryant, assistant athletic director for football operations at Texas and Brown's former quarterback coach
"When people say there's God, family and football, I'm not sure which order they go in with Mack," Bryant said. "I know that all three of them are up there real close, but which one comes first? I wouldn't want to be the one to make that call."
at North Carolina.
With spring football starting Monday, thousands of people have called or written to say they are taking time off to come and watch the Longhorns practice. The anticipation is overwhelming as evidenced by overflow attendance at Brown's visits to alumni gatherings across the state in recent weeks.
Every day he gets e-mails, letters and calls saying that Longhorns faithful are behind him.
"Patience is not a part of the personality of our fans that has been very rewarding to coaches in the past," Said Brown. "But you know what? I don't have any patience either."
With no veteran quarterback, a defense that was among the nation's worst last year and a schedule that includes UCLA, Kansas State and Nebraska in addition to its usual league games, are some saying a 7-4 record would be a miracle for Texas next year.
Brown says he won't set goals for
victories.
"We won't put a number out there," Brown said. "If we say that 7-4 is a reasonable number, the players will say, 'Which four do they think we can't win?'
Other than the offensive line, a couple positions on defense and Ricky Williams at running back, most every position is up for grabs in the spring. Brown said.
"We want to achieve three things," Brown said. "We want the kids to understand the work ethic we expect, and until the coaches coach the players on the field, trust and communication can't be built like it should.
"We need to have a real good evaluation of our talent, and then once we understand the positions, we will try to fit the scheme to the talent level of each position."
Williams, the nation's leading rusher last year, said his expectations for the spring are to get in a little better shape and an improved
He said the team was excited about Brown.
"We have been pumped since January," Williams said. "He's a fired-up kind of person, real enthusiastic."
defense.
Brown has impressed Longhorns faithfuls with his ability to land two of the state's top high school prospects — lineman Antwan Kirk-Hughes and receiver Montrell Flowers — with very little time to win recruits over.
Bryant says everything Brown does in football has recruiting at its core.
"It's all about recruiting with Mack," Bryant said. "The pictures in his office were selected with recruits in mind."
Brown confirmed that. Pictures in the waiting room of his office show Williams with the Doak Walker Award, another shows former Texas coach Darrell Royal, and the other shows an overflow crowd at Royal-Memorial Stadium.
"We want recruits to be able to visualize themselves as an award-winning player like Ricky," Brown said. "We want to be a tough football team like Texas was under Coach Royal, and we want to fill up our stadium because every kid wants to play in front of a packed crowd."
Lewis fight fails to impress fans
The Associated Press
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Don Turner, the trainer for Evander Holyfield, was not impressed.
He watched Lennox Lewis escape early trouble to knock down Shannon Briggs three times before stopping him at 1:45 of the fifth round Saturday night.
When asked how Lewis would fare against Hollyfield, Turner said, "He knocked out, probably. Yeah, he's easier than I thought."
Lewis, the WBC heavyweight champion, has said he needed to fight Holyfield, the WBA-1BF champion, to support his claim of being the premier heavweight.
Negotiations for such a fight failed earlier this year.
Mike Tyson bit his ears, is scheduled to make an IBF mandatory defense against Henry Akinwande of Britain, ranked No. 1 by the WBA, on June 6 in New York.
Holyfield, who has not fought since
Akinwande challenged Lewis last July 11 and was disqualified in the fifth round for holding.
Briggs had Lewis in serious trouble in the first round after landing a left hook to the head and follow
Promoter Dino Duda said Lewis would make a mandatory defense against Zeljko Mavrovic of Croatia, the WBC's No. 1 contender, in July or August in Europe.
Briggs, booed after winning a disputed 12-round majority decision against George Foreman last November, quickly won over many in the crowd of 9,173 in Convention Hall.
ing with a barrage of punches. He hurt the champion again with a leaping left hook in the second round.
"Sometime you have got to get warmed up." Lewis said of his slow start. "Certain trials in a fight make you smarten up quick."
Briggs, who weighed 228 pounds, 15 pounds less than Lewis, backed off in the third round, which enabled the champion to take charge with left iabs and short rights to the head.
"My plan was to be a little more steady," Briggs said. "I went into a frenzy after I hurt him."
Turner thought Briggs should have staved in a frenzy.
"All Shannon Briggs had to do was fight like a crazy man," Turner said. Lewis, a 32-year-old from Britain, knocked Briggs down twice in the fourth round, once with an overhand
right to the ear and the second time with a left hook and right to the head.
A left-right combination put Briggs down in the fifth round. The challenger from Brooklyn, N.Y., got up at the count of seven and was taking punishment when he missed with a wild left hook and fell face down.
"He was overcome by exhaustion," said referee Frank Cappuccino, who stopped the fight immediately.
Jeered when he beat Foreman, Briggs was cheered for his performance.
"It was the type of fight we need in the heavyweight division," said Emanuel Steward, Lewis' trainer.
Lewis showed power and heart, but it's doubtful he enhanced his claim to be the world's best heavyweight with many U.S. fight fans.

Utah looking for Kentucky payback
The Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — For Utah, payback time has arrived against Kentucky in the national championship game. The Wildcats plan: ending the Utes' season with a loss for the third straight year.
Utah and Kentucky have played each other in the NCAA tournament the past two seasons, with the Wildcats winning both times. The stakes have grown each year, and on Monday night they will be as big as they get in college basketball.
The championship pits a Utah team that pulled off two of the tournament's biggest upsets against a Kentucky team that used two thrilling comebacks to advance to the title game for the third straight year, this time under new
coach Tubby Smith.
Two years ago, Kentucky crushed Utah 101-70 in the second round on the way to its sixth national championship. Last season, the Wildcats beat the Utes 72-59 in the regional semifinal and went on to lose in the title game to Arizona.
"The main thing I remember about those two games is that we lost. That's about all you need to know," Michael Doleac, Utah senior center, said of the recent postseason history with Kentucky. "Sophomore year it was more like we were just watching Kentucky play instead of being in the game. Last year it was a lot different. We could play with those guys, and we did play with them until they had that spurt at the end when we fouled.
"It's always a bad memory getting knocked out of the tournament. This year we are a different team and a lot better defensively and a great rebounding team."
Utah's 65-59 upset of top-ranked North Carolina on Saturday may have been an even bigger surprise than its 25-point laugher over No. 1 seed Arizona in the West Regional final a week before. But the common thread was excellent defense; the Utes lead the nation in field goal percentage allowed at 38 percent.
"We look to go out and keep teams under 60 points, and if we can do that we have a great chance of winning the game," said Andre Miller, Utah junior guard.
Even though this is Kentucky's third
straight championship game — the first team to do that since Duke from 1990-92 — the Wildcats (34-4) may have changed more than the Utes (30-3).
Gone to the NBA are Antoine Walker, Ron Mercer, Tony Delk and Derek Anderson. Even with the loss of All-American Keith Vorn Horn, the Utah roster with Doleac, Miller and sophomore forward Hanno Mottola may have more future NBA players than Kentucky. And the Wildcats, who beat Stanford 86-85 in overtime Saturday, have a new coach in Smith, a former assistant to Rick Pitino.
Nazr Mohammed, Kentucky junior center, said there was no doubt in his mind that they would go back to the Final Four because the team worked hard.
Big coach leads team with small names
Majerus coaches with his own style, humor
The Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — In the business of college basketball, Rick Majerus has taken a mostly anonymous Utah team into the NCAA championship game Monday night.
This is a team that lost the highest scorer in school history and went further than it ever did when Keith Van Horn was around. It is a team composed of smart guys — a Rhodes Scholar candidate surrounded by academic All-Americans. And it is led by point guard who started his academic career as a Proposition 48 student.
Andre Miller makes the Utes go, and he is Majerus' creation, recruited by him when few others were interested. When Miller's SAT scores came up short, the coach massaged his psyche telling him, "If this is the worst thing that happens to you in life, you will have a wonderful life."
And Miller became a wonderful point guard.
Majerus coaches around his Mormon players' missionary obligations, and he has found a way to prosper.
So how does he do it? With a few one-
liners, a tongue in his cheek and a firm
commitment to his players and his
sport.
"Nothing works unless the players are good," Majerus said. "Andre is a very good guard and these guys are very smart at deployment. They have committed errors of commission rather than omission."
So what can Kentucky expect tonight? I don't know right now what look we
are going to start out with," Majerus said. "If Kentucky guesses right, that doesn't make much difference because we will change every time anyway."
Some people wondered if this was the right fit, a jovial coach bringing all those one-liners to Mormon country. Majerus shrugged that off.
"You are talking about it as if it is a Stepford Wives community," he said. "It's a big city with a small-town environment. It's Green Bay, Wisconsin in the Rocky Mountains is what it is."

Kentucky coach Tubby Smith meets championship expectations
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — As a 14-year-old African-American farm boy during the civil-rights movement, Tubby Smith saw something unique and wonderful on television: a team with all Black starters beating all-White Kentucky in the NCAA Championship.
Though Smith lived in Maryland and grew up a fan of the Terrapins and their first black player, Billy Jones, he couldn't help but be inspired by that 1966 championship team from Texas Western (later Texas-El Paso) upsetting Kentucky.
Black, but seeing the underdog win the way they did," Smith said. "It gives all underdogs some hope.
"Not so much that they were
H
That's what it did for me."
An underdog no longer, Smith is the head coach of a Kentucky team that plays for the school's seventh national title tonight against Utah.
He remembers those all-White Kentucky teams of the Adolph Rupp era and the memories are not
DWY 7114-ACRE 700 Third Avenue, New York, NY
fond ones.
"I would have to say most Blacks in America had some real problems with Kentucky at the time," Smith said. "It was the time of the civil-rights movement and our ideas were shaped by that. My perception of Kentucky was no different than it was for any school that didn't offer opportunities to minorities."
When Smith took the Kentucky job last May, there were concerns that as the Wildcats' first African-American basketball coach he would be treated especially hard if the team didn't measure up to Rick Pitino's national championship
team of 1996 and runner-up team of last year.
Well, it didn't turn out that way. Smith surely took some criticism when his Wildcats lost to Louisville, Florida and Ole Miss at home, but he knew that was to be expected from Kentucky's rabid fans.
"I wanted to call my own call-in show and say, 'Hey, you bum,'" Smith said.
But through it all, he said, he didn't feel any racism and didn't get any hate mail.
"The people of Kentucky are very passionate about basketball," he
said. "They wanted to make sure the program was in good hands."
Perhaps few other coaches were as suited to the Kentucky job as the soft-spoken Smith. During a game, he may scream and pop up and down and wave his arms like a traffic cop in rush hour, but for the most part, he projects a relaxed, gentlemanly manner.
A man with Southern roots, a man of the soil, a man from a big family. Smith is more like Kentucky fans than his transplanted New York predecessor.
The inspiration Smith drew from Texas Western as a teen, the
lessons he learned as one of Guffrie and Parthenia Smith's 17 children and working in the fields of rural Maryland served him well this season and throughout his career.
"I grew up working in the tobacco fields, tomato fields, plowing fields," he said. "You learn patience, discipline."
Though he is living every coach's dream, perhaps more important to him Sunday were these words from senior Jeff Sheppard:
"He really does a good job of teaching us the game of basketball, but even a better job of teaching us how to be men."

Streak ends with 3 'Hawk wins
Bear 7
By Laura Bokenkroger
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas softball team broke a four-game losing streak this weekend, winning three of four games to begin its Big 12 Conference schedule at Jayhawk Field.
After losing seven of nine games during spring break, the Jayhawks returned to face Texas Tech and Baylor Saturday and yesterday
Kansas swept Baylor yesterday
fending off a sixth inning surge by
the Bears in the first game.
In the first game Saturday against Texas Tech, the Red Raiders scored three runs in the third inning, while holding the Jayhawks scoreless through six. Right fielder Jennifer Funkhouser hit a sacrifice fly to score the Jayhawks' only run, and the Jayhawks lost their fourth straight game 3-1.
The Jayhawks jumped ahead early, scoring two runs in the first inning and another one in the third. The Jayhawks led 3-2 in the top of the sixth, but gave up two runs on two errors, putting the Bears up 4-3.
Kansas led the whole way in the second game as seven Jayhawks recorded base hits, including a 3-4 performance by shortstop Michelle Hubler.
The Jayhawks rallied in the bottom of the sixth behind left fielder Sara Holland, who brought in two runs with a double to left field. Kansas scored two more, taking advantage of two Baylor errors to win 7-4.
"We were confident we could come back," Holland said.
In the second game, the Jayawks scored five times on five hits while pitcher Jessi Kowal shut out the Red Raiders. The Jayawks won 5-0.
After dropping four games by two runs or less last week, coach Trace Bunge said she was worried that it would affect her team's confidence.
"The most frustrating thing is that we played pretty well, but we just seemed to make a critical mistake at critical times that would cost us the game," Bunge said. "When you just can't find the way to win, mentally it becomes a real

struggle. We saw a bit of a different team, getting into close ball games and winning the mental battle."
The Jayhawks are taking today off, and will host Creighton Tuesday in a doubleheader at 2 and 4 p.m. They travel to Wichita State on Wednesday, and then to Texas next weekend to face Texas and Texas A&M.
Michelle Hubler hit four home runs in California, bringing her career total to 13. Hubler needs just one to tie teammate Sara Holland for second place behind coach Tracy Bunge, who has 15.

Baseball players sacrifice spring break, play 11 games
By John Blakely Wilson
The Kansas baseball team found itself busy on the diamond during spring break, earning a 6-5 record in nine days.
Iowa State won two of three games played March 20-22 in Lawrence. The Jayhawks won the second game of the series in 10 innings, 14-13. Center fielder Clint Wyrick led the team with three hits and three RBIs, including his second home run of the season. Relief pitcher Pete Smart got the victory, working two scoreless innings.
Kansas played a game against Missouri March 23 in Columbia, Mo. The Jayhawks lost 6-0. They were shut out on six hits by Tiger pitcher Jay Bell. Smart had two more scoreless innings in relief.
"Our bullpen has been shaky in the past, and we've needed somebody to step up," said Kansas baseball coach Bobby Randall. "Pete has established himself as someone who can really be effective in important times late in games."
The Jayhawks played a pair of doubleheaders against NAIA competition Tuesday and Wednesday in Lawrence. Kansas swept Rockhurst and Washburn. Pitchers Josh Bailey, Les Walrond, Franco Martinez and Linus Williams

picked up victories. Walrond allowed just two runs in nine innings in the second game against Rockhurst Tuesday.
The offense had 44 runs and seven home runs in the four games. Catcher Shane Wedd led the way with three homers and eight RBIs.
"It's just important for me to be aggressive with the bat and good things happen," Wedd said. "We've finally gotten to play a bunch of baseball without interruption, and I've finally gotten into a groove."
Kansas split a doubleheader on Saturday with Oklahoma, dropping the first game 13-4 but winning the first 20-11. Pitcher Chad Schuster picked up the win, working four innings in relief while giving up just two earned runs. Wedd scored his fourth home run of the season, and second baseman Andy Juday had three hits and six RIBs.

Towing leads to knowing
Kansas law allows companies to enter cars, take inventory
By Tamara Miller
Kansan staff writer
Susannah Rathbone is familiar with towing procedures in Kansas. She understands that if she parks her car illegally, she will have to pay a parking ticket and about $60 to get her car back.
However, Rathbone, Wichita freshman, said she does not understand why the towing company could unlock and get inside her car.
"I think that is private property," she said.
"If they can't tow it the way it is, they shouldn't tow it."
Don Kearns, parking department director,
said a towing company had the legal right
to use whatever means necessary to move an ilegally parked vehicle.
The University parking department
uses Quality Towing, 1146 Haskell Ave., when cars need to be towed, Keauns said.
Kenny Mather, Quality Towing owner,
said his company sometimes must get inside a vehicle to tow it. For example,
the vehicle may need to be shifted into neutral and rolled before it would be possible to secure the vehicle to the tow truck.
"When the vehicle is in our possession, we are contracted to do whatever it takes to move the vehicle," Mather said.
A parking department employee accompanies Quality Towing whenever a car is towed from University property, Mather said.
The parking department makes an inventory list of all possessions inside the vehicle.
Both the parking department and the towing company may report any items inside the car to the police, such as stolen parking permits or drug paraphenelia, Mather said.
"Parking is the area we rely upon to do
he said.
If suspicious items are reported to the police, the police place the car on hold, and the owner must contact the police before getting the vehicle from the towing company, said Sgt. Chris Keary of the KU Public Safety Office.
The police then ask the owner for consent to search the car. If the owner does not give consent, the police may apply for a search warrant, he said.
"If anyone calls us, we will investigate," he said.
4.5
Keary said a high number of stolen permits had been reported this semester during tows.
Keary said an inventory was taken during every tow. If the car is locked, a visual inventory is taken from outside the car. However, if the car is unlocked, an inventory can be taken from inside the car, he said.
Michele Kessler, associate director of Legal Services for Students, said this was legal because an inventory protects both the vehicle owner and the towing company if anything is stolen from the car.
"As far as privacy goes, cars don't rise to the level of your home," she said.

"MayFest began as an event to recognize the hard work that the University employees do," said Susan Gronbeck-Tedesco, MayFest committee member.

Getter said some offices closed early last year so employees could attend the event, and the employees still were paid for a

Getter said he went to the provost and asked him to fix the problem but was unsuccessful.
"We have no solution on how to resolve this," McCain said. "There is no rule or official policy that says employees can be paid for any time they attend MayFest if it doesn't fall into their regular work day."
"This is textbook discrimination, affording one group a benefit not given to others." Getter said. "A group of employees was cheated."

Forecasters warn of severe weather
Bv Marc Sheforgen
Kansan staff writer
Forty-eight twisters touched down in the sunflower state last year.
Remember that story about Dorothy and Toto? Well, we are in Kansas, and it is tornado season.
Yesterday, tornado watches and severe storm warnings were issued for much of northeast Kansas, and more severe weather could come later this week.
So know the drills, have the rain gear ready and, above all, pay attention.
Walter Geiger, a Lawrence senior who works at the University of Kansas' Weather Service Lab, said that with today's technology, people could avoid danger if they paid attention to the warnings.
"A lot of people don't get interested in the weather until something happens to them," he said. "People who are paranoid usually had a bad run-in with weather."
Gelger said severe-weather-
in the case of tornadoes, the National Weather Service now can warn residents eight to 15 minutes before a twister might hit their area.
related deaths had decreased significantly in the last 30 years because of advancements in warning systems.
The National Weather Service said that its goal was to inform people as early as possible about threatening conditions.
a severe weather watch means something could happen. A warning means take precautions now.
In the event of a tornado warning, take shelter in the northeast corner of a basement because tornadoes generally approach from the southwest.
The National Weather Service and the lab suggest these precautions during severe weather:
If caught in a vehicle and unable to get to shelter, lie in a ditch and cover your head.

No suspects, evidence found in gunshot report
Two more gunshots were reported Saturday night in the neighborhood of Sixth and Louisiana streets. Lawrence police said.
"He described them to be pistol shots," Wheeler said. The shots were heard coming from the north end of the block, Wheeler said.
Sgt. George Wheeler said the fifth gunshot report this month in the area was made at 10:54 p.m. by a resident of the 600 block of Louisiana Street.
Police searched the area, but no evidence was found, he said.
The last report of gunfire in the area came March 11, when officers arrested a Lawrence man for firing a handgun into King Pharm. 1112 W. Sixth St.
Wheeler said police did not have a suspect in Saturday's incident.
Lawrence man arrested for stealing cart of items
A Lawrence man was arrested Saturday after pushing a shopping cart containing more than $600 in items out of Super Target, 3201 Iowa St., Lawrence police said.
The items were valued at $619.36. Sgt.
George Wheeler said the man was arrested
at 4:15 p.m. on a felony theft charge.
"He said he just got greedy," Wheeler said. The man had taken an undisclosed number of items into the parking lot without paying and was confronted by store security officers, Wheeler said.

Police investigated the apartment anyway, he said.
"They found a hot plate, and they were cooking up something," Wheeler said.
He said the officers became suspicious of the man and checked his name for warrants. The man had a Leavenworth County warrant for failure to comply with a court order and manufacturing methamphetamines. Wheeler said.
Police arrested the man, searched his apartment and found drug paraphermalia, including empty packets of cocaine, Wheeler said.

The chief executive officer of NationsBank will address the building of better communities when he speaks tonight at the Lied Center.
Hugh McColl Jr.'s presentation, which will begin at 7 p.m., is part of the Vickers Lecture Series, sponsored by the school of business. McColl will address Nations-Bank's efforts to improve the communities in which the company conducts business. The event is free.
McColl, who was named banker of the year in 1993, has led NationsBank through times of aggressive growth, including the purchase of Bank IV and Boatmen's Banc-shares Inc., both of which had a major presence in Kansas. The company's recent merger with Barnett Banks Inc. is the largest bank merger in U.S. history.
Tom Sarowski, dean of the School of Business, spoke highly of McColl.
"Not only is he a corporate chieftain who is at the helm of an extraordinarily complex business conglomerate, he is a deeply caroused person who walks the walk in building the communities within the NationsBank system," Sarowski said.
In an era of "bigger is better" in banking, McColl led NationsBank to become a leader in employee and community relations.
In Kansas, the company has promoted employee volunteerism in public and private Wichita schools, has presented a gift of $25,000 to help restore the historic Fox Theatre in Hutchinson and has given financial support to Hospice of Reno County and the Kansas Cosmosphere, among others.

Legislators try to change gun laws after Jonesboro
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — As Arkansas law now stands, the two boys accused of killing five people at their school will be able to own guns the day they get out of the juvenile justice system.
Under state law, adults convicted of felonies can never again possess a gun. But Arkansas youths convicted as juveniles of similar crimes can buy and possess guns the moment they are released from state supervision at age 18.
"As far as I'm concerned, when you murder five people you've forfeited your rights to guns forever," said state Sen. Gene Roebuck, a Democrat from Jonesboro.
The disparity has incensed many Arkansas legislators, who already are rallying to change the state's juvenile laws after the slayings of four girls and a teacher last week at Jonesboro's West-side Middle School.
Mitchell Johnson, 13, and Andrew Golden.
11, face five counts of murder as juveniles. State law prohibits youths younger than 14 from being charged as adults, and lawmakers cannot change that retroactively.
Charity's contributions raise donation questions
WASHINGTON — The American Cancer Society steered $30,000 of this year's proceeds to the Democratic and Republican parties.
The contributions represent a tiny fraction of the society's $378 million annual budget. But the contributions still trouble tax experts because charities may not make political donations.
Cancer Society officials content the contributions to the Democratic and Republican governors' associations are acceptable because the contributions went to nonpolitical accounts held by the organizations.
Officials said they donated the money to ensure that their arguments about smoking and other health issues are heard.
But the same part of federal tax law that allows the cancer society to receive deductible donations also prohibits the society from making political contributions.
The National Charities Information Bureau, a New York-based organization that tracks charitable organizations, does not know of any other charity that makes contributions to political parties, representative Dan Langan said.
The $15,000 contributions allow cancer society representatives to attend forums and dinners.

Multipurpose recycling bins to be installed
By Graham K. Johnson gjohnson@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Fifty new multipurpose recycling bins arrived from Oregon yesterday to enhance the University of Kansas' recycling program.
The bins will be placed inside campus buildings during the next few weeks, said Victoria Silva, environmental specialist with the Office of Resource Conservation and Recycling.
"It will help alleviate the problem people were having of stacking boxes and boxes of paper in their office." Silva said.
Silva said the success of the program depended on the consistent depositing of office paper and bottles in the bins.
Catherine Sembajwe, Uganda junior, is a student assistant in the Latin American Studies department in Lippincott Hall. Among Sembajwe's duties is the recycling of all the waste paper in her office.
"We do a lot of mass mailings, and when we mess up, everything has to go. So we prefer to recycle," Sembajwe said. "This would make it more convenient. It definitely would make it neater around here."
Theresa Klinkenberg, University director, said the bids were paid for with money provided by various administrative funds, including the Coca-Cola contract.
Each bin costs $400 and will have slots for recycling newspapers, pop bottles and cans, as well as two grades of office paper. Silva said the bins were Jayhawk blue and were designed for the University by DeWald of Oregon to meet fire safety specifications.
The multipurpose feature of the bin is what makes it different from most recycling bins, but that facet also may cause problems for the recycling teams. Silva said.
"Contamination will be our biggest concern," she said. "It wouldn't take a whole lot of colored paper put in the wrong slot to contaminate a whole 23-gallon container of white paper."
Silva said it was important to separate recyclable items according to the guidelines that were specified on the bins and on the recycling office's web page: www.eks.ukans.edu/recycling/.
The bins are being stored on West Campus, Silva said. She said the Provost's office had to approve the proposed sites before the bins could be distributed.
Lindy Eakin, associate provost, said most sites posed no problems but the office wanted to make sure that everyone was happy with the bins' locations.
"Aesthetics is a big piece of it," Eakin said. Eakin said the Provost's office and the recycling office were expected to start working with Facilities and Operations to install the bins as early as next week.

Higher education bill on hold
Legislature has little time, money for reform plan
By Brandon Copley bcpleoy@kanson.com Kansan staff writer
The Kansas Legislature's plan to reform higher education governance is not dead, it is just resting.
Sen. Dave Kerr, R-Hutchinson, Ways and Means Committee chairman, and Sen. Barbara, R-Lawrence, chairwoman of the Education Committee, agreed yesterday that the Senate probably would not act on the plan this year.
"There is so very limited time that it would be exceedingly difficult for us to do a quality job analyzing the plan," Kerr said. "The need to do something is not so urgent that we should rush through it in the remaining time this session and end up with a plan that is not the best."
The committees heard testimony on the plan yesterday during a joint
meeting. Members of the House Select Committee on Higher Education presented the plan, which would replace the Board of Regents with a new body to govern universities and coordinate activity among universities, community colleges and vocational/technical schools.
If the Senate does not act on the plan this year, the bill would remain in committee and would be held until the 1999 legislative session.
Rep. David Adkins, chairman of the select committee, said he would not give up passing the plan this year. The Republican said that because the Legislature must finance the Kansas highway bill next year, it would be even more difficult to pass the plan in 1999.
Kerr said highway funding and education funding came from different sources, but Adkins said highway funding would affect all spending bills next year.
"We will beg, borrow and steal from many places in order to pay for highways," he said. "As a result, we'll see less money for the
universities."
Representatives of the Board of Regents and the state's community colleges also testified yesterday. The Regents oppose the plan. All state community colleges except Johnson Count Community College support the plan.
Bob Talkington, Regents chairman, responded with a hint of sarcasm.
Adkins told the committee the Regents were statespeople for the universities but the community colleges would not agree to be governed by the Regents because the community colleges mistrust the Regents.
"I was particularly pleased to hear Chairman Adkins say the Board of Regents were statespeople," Talkington said. "They're apparently untrustworthy, but they're statespeople."
In a display of the mistrust alluded to by Adkins, former Sen. Sheila Frahm spoke on behalf of the community colleges.
"The community colleges are not hungry puppies (as one Regent said) who should be taken care of only after the needs of the state universities are met," Frahm said.
KU center makes a difference
Food drive is finalist for national award
Melissa Ngo
mgo@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
A canned-food drive sponsored by the University of Kansas' Center for Community Outreach is a finalist for a national Make a Difference Day award.
The seventh annual Make a Difference Day was Oct. 25. Of the thousands of projects, 60 will be chosen as winners. The award includes a $2,000 donation to a charitable agency of the winner's choosing.
Members of the center and volunteers held a canned-food drive on Make a Difference Day, which was also the day of the Kansas-Nebraska football game.
Food drop-off points were set up at
Memorial Stadium, Checkers,
HyVee and all local Dillons stores,
said Jamie Najim, center co-director.
Sixty dollars and 6,200 cans of food were collected and distributed to the Ballard Center, Pelathte Indian Center, East Central Kansas Economic Opportunity Corporation, Penn House and the Salvation Army, Najim said.
"We'd never taken part in Make a Difference Day before, and we'll be pretty amazed if we win it this year," Najim said.
Najim said about 30 volunteers from the center, the Boys and Girls Club and the University helped with the project.
Emily Heath, center co-director, said center members chose a food drive because they thought Lawrence needed it.
"With the new welfare-reform laws, people are getting less food," Heath said. "People needed to chip in because the government was not providing enough."
Nicole Skalla, Salina sophomore, helped with the canned-foOD drive. She said she hoped the center would hold it every year.
"It was a great way to get the community to help feed the hungry, and I know it benefited a lot of people," Skalla said.
Najim said she would be happy if the center won the award but she already was proud of the group's work.
"We don't need a national award to say, 'You've done a good job' because people ate, and that's the most important thing," Najim said.
Najim said 1.3 million people participated nationally in the 1997 Make a Difference Day.
The award winners will be announced and some projects highlighted in the April 17-19 issue of USA Weekend.
The 1998 Make a Difference Day will be October 24.

Ku Klux Klan payoff in Illinois bad example for progressive cities
The devil knows how to get what he wants. And so do his disciples.
Early this month, the Ku Klux Klan extorted the town of Cicero, Ill., for $10,000. In exchange for the pay off, the Klan agreed to call off a rally it had planned to hold in the town.
Could the same thing happen in Lawrence? Let's hope not. But our City Commission should know that the citizens of Lawrence will not tolerate such an appeasement of intolerance.
Cicero is a blue-collar suburb of Chicago with a history of racial tension. Although it differs from Lawrence, in both of these cases it is reasonable to assume that leaders in both hope to prevent activities that could shatter whatever racial harmony exists in their towns.
With this action, Cicero's city leaders shattered the integrity of the town and armed the Klan with a powerful weapon
Paying off the KKK,rather than allowing a march,never should happen in Lawrence
for conducting its war on civility. Using the threat of a rally to squeeze money out of complacent communities.
The Klan had planned to rally in Cicero on March 7 until an anonymous donor agreed to pay $10,000 for the distribution of Klan literature. Claiming to divert a potential riot, town officials cut the deal to avoid security costs. The town president even shared a podium with the imperial wizard to announce the deal.
But Cicero's decision announced to the world that giving blood money is preferable to confronting the evils of racism.
Although Ciervo is more than 400 miles away from Lauremont, the Klan could
slither across the Midwest, extorting towns without the moral character to object.
We hope the day will never come when the citizens of Lawrence face a battle with the Klan. If it does, we must not yield to the temptation of taking the easy way out as Cicero did. Even if it means allowing the Klan to hold a rally. Even if it threatens the racial serenity of Lawrence. Even if it forces us to hold back the clinched fists of righteous citizens determined to attack the harbingers of hatred. We must never appease the Klan.
To do so is to turn our backs on a current of evil that prevents our city and our nation from truly becoming a land of equals.
Tell your city commissioners that the citizens of Lawrence will not shy from the threat of evil. Tell them we will not cut a deal with the devil.
Dave Morantz, special to the editorial board
Winter is finished. The snow has long since melted away. But small, white objects still flutter to the ground, collecting in piles along Javawk Boulevard.
They are not the clean, cold, pure snowflakes that children catch on their tongues, but the putrid, nasty cigarette butts that already have been in others' mouths.
Smokers should stop littering the campus with the waste of their habit. They should stop throwing cigarette butts on the ground.
These butts litter the environment and often are washed by the rain down into gutters, eventually ending up in rivers and streams.
They also make the campus look dirty and unattractive. When visitors come to the University of Kansas, the trash along the sidewalks reflects badly on the University and its students. Although the cigarette butt that one student tosses to the ground may seem small and virtually harmless, when added to the thousands of others, it amounts to one thing — a real mess.
There are many easy solutions to this problem. There are ash trays at various locations on campus. If one of these is not nearby, a smoker simply can put out a cigarette on the ground, then throw it in a trash can. If trash cans are not available, then smokers can put out their cigarettes and put the butts in their pockets until they find a trash can.
Visitors are not the only ones that may be turned off by this despicable problem. Non-smoking students, faculty and staff should be able to walk through one of the most beautiful college campuses in the country without seeing a trail of cigarette butts lining the sidewalks
KU students can smoke all the cigarettes they want — that is their right. But smokers should not compromise the environment and the beauty of the University simply because they are too lazy to responsibly deal with their own trash.

Nick Bartkoski
opinion @ kansan.com
Now to my question: Which beloved University Daily Kansan columnist do you think spent the entire break at the lovely Bartkoski Compound in Basehor. Kan.?
Not that I'm especially bitter that while everyone else in the free world was off romping in paradise, I was doing my sister Amelia's homework for her. To be fair, I'd definitely prefer to do second grade homework than write a five-page essay on whether William Faulkner was a boxers or briefs kind of guy (citing relevant passages).
For those of you that didn't think anyone would go home for break, I was kind enough to take meticulous notes about what I did. As a moving tribute to James Joyce, I call it Portrait of a Loser as a Young Man.
Monday — Going into spring break, I had one major project, read George Eliot's Middlemarch. It's an evil, 20,000-page book written by a Victorian woman. I know all of you that went to Cancun wish you could trade places with me, but those are the breaks.
I started Monday right. I woke up at about 7:30 p.m., with just enough time to have a snack before the Academy Awards started.
However, the Oscars were important in that I finally found a career that I would be qualified for with a degree in journalism and English: televised award show seat warmer.
Who doesn't love the spectacle that is the Oscars — and here I'm writing about more than just Ashley Judd's dress. There are the touching moments when you realize that the winner of an acting award can't speak unless reading from a script. There's the look on the winners' and losers' faces when they award the Best Picture. And perhaps most importantly, there are the three hours in between when they award absolutely nothing important.
copy of the book was the perfect size to be a remote control coaster. I fell asleep before Jim Cameron's moment of silence for those that went down on the *Titanic* ended.
In Middlemarch news, I learned that my
Tuesday — I awoke in a moving car. During the Oscars, my sister and I talked about seeing Titanic. I was asleep when my sister decided we were going to see the 7 p.m. show, so she just loaded me into the car and assumed I'd wake up before we got to the theater.
I really liked *Titanic*. Maybe it's just the feminine side of me, but I got into the story. I should bring up that this is NOT a desperate attempt to make myself look good to women, but if they think better of me because of this...
Titanic was also interesting in that people say my brother looks like Leonardo DiCaprio. I don't think it's that surprising. My theory is that there's a certain amount of general hunkiness that each human being is allotted at birth. Since mine obviously didn't get used, maybe it just kind of built up as a sediment in my mother's womb. So when my younger brother was born, he parlayed both his own and mine to come out looking like Hollywood's beloved Leonardo.
The scary part about that story is that the resemblance was especially striking when Leonardo was sinking to the bottom of the Atlantic. I don't want to even ponder what that says subconsciously.
I fell asleep in the car on the way home.
Wednesday — I spent four hours playing with my cats.
What I didn't know is that they had been practicing Super Mario Kart 64 since winter break. They kicked my butt pretty well.
In Middlemarch news, I found out that tossing the book towards a set of gloating cats will get them to stop.
Thursday — I analyzed my staggering speed in reading Middlemarch. At the rate I was going, I could have finished about a week before my retirement. It depressed me so much that I needed an extra three hours of sleep.
Friday — I had to go to a Kansas City TV station to get information for a project. Because I wanted to look my best, I woke up extra early for my 10:30 a.m. appointment — 8:30 a.m. I got myself all gussied up, and went. I got there about 10:15 a.m. and everything went about according to plan, but I didn't get out of there until about 11:45 a.m. I couldn't drive home. It was an hour drive and I had 45 minutes max before I passed out. I quickly called my mom, explained that I needed a ride, and quietly curled up and slept in the KCTV lobby.
Bartkoski is a Basehor junior in journalism and English. For the record, William Faulkner wore boxers.

encounter a store filled with warm fuzzies and lots of "therapeutic" agents and devices. These stores lure you in with the enticing aroma of incense, which begins doing its work on you several miles away. Once you are close enough, the incense grabs you and chokes all rational thought out of your brain and so you enter the store. After you have passed through the smoke-screen at the doorway, your inner spirit is awakened with nature sounds or the exotic sounds of the Far or Near East, which probably are produced in downtown Los Angeles. The sounds lure you further in and calm your raging consciences.
Inside is a world filled with all types of panaceas. Every type of message instrument that you can think of and a myriad of ones you had no idea existed are strategically placed throughout the store. So you browse through and test each one out to see if it cures all of your ailments. Naturally, they don't but they sure look good and that music sure does sound exotic. In addition, while your ears are enjoying happy sounds, your eyes can feast on all of the new practical applications of Zen — like the Zen of walking your dog or the Zen of brushing your teeth.
Here is a more concrete example of what I am talking about.
The other day I went to get my glasses fixed, so I went to a glasses store. I thought this was simple enough and I chose the first one that I came
Some suggest there is a conspiracy behind this. There is something intoxicating in the incense. I don't believe in conspiracies. Shakespeare was fond of writing about how the gods love to play us for their sport. This is true. We are all subject to fate. So if some of us are miserable then it is because we were destined to be such. Don't tinker with fate by pushing this universal good vibes thing filled with smiles and giggles and laced with a complacent and content conscience.
So psychology is very marketable. Touchy-feely stuff is in and introverted cynicism is out. Let's talk about our problems and then perhaps we all finally can get along. Horace Walpole once said, "Life is a comedy to those who think and a tracedy to those who feel."

to. But to my surprise this was no ordinary glasses store. As I walked into the store I noticed that I was stepping on hundreds of glittery doves, or some other symbolic bird, that were scattered all over the floor. Candles were burning and the wax was overflowing onto the plants below. Incense was burning and some sort of nature music was playing in the background. The lady at the counter asked if she could help me, but I got the feeling that she wanted to help me release my stress and talk about my depressions and not just tighten a few screws on my glasses. I was overcome with a touchy-feely feeling and this unexplainable force trying to calm my inner rage. I left the store coughing.
What is it about these stores that attract so many people? Why are so many stores becoming like this? Why can't you go to a store where you get what you expect and are not bombarded with warm fuzzies and medicinal remedies explicitly made for people who walk around laughing at the absurdities of common stresses and anxieties. These remedies attempt to make your chaotic laugh a more tranquil and sedative smile.
So keep a look out for those who prefer to laugh rather than smile. They might be cold-hearted introverts who need you to feel their pain. And above all they need a warm and fuzzy hug.

The Lawrence Police Department bought seven 1998 Ford Crown Victorias like this one.
Lawrence police to cruise in style
On March 17, the city of Lawrence approved the purchase of seven 1998 Ford Crown Victorias from Laird Noller Ford, 935 W. 23rd St. The cars are being built in Talbertville, Ontario, and should be ready next month.
By Ronnie Wachter
rwacher@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Lawrence police will begin chasing criminals in brand new police cars later this spring.
"I don't have a status on them yet," said Walter MConnell, fleet Laird Noller fleet manager, "but I would assume the first part of May."
Alan D. Landis, purchasing specialist for the city, said the city chose Laair Noller, rather than three other local competitors, because it had the lowest bid that met specifications.
He said a lower bid from another dealership was rejected for not including tilt steering wheels.
"If they had included that, it would have put them $200 to $300 over," Landis said.
Landis said four of the new cars will replace older Ford Crown Victoria patrol cars and the department is adding two more to accommodate the increasing size of the police force.
Lawrence Police Sgt. George Wheeler said the seventh patrol car would be unmarked and would be used by watch commanders.
"It'll be equipped a little differently, with a telephone and other accessories," Wheeler said. "It's
really a patrol car. It's just unmarked."
McConnell said all the cars were being built to take more abuse than a civilian vehicle and will be capable of on- and off-road chases.
He said the vehicles will be equipped with heavy-duty suspensions and shock absorbers as well as front and rear stabilizer bars.
"The air dam and larger radiator are needed to help keep the engine cooler," he said.
The cars will use a factory engine, a 4.6 litre V8 and disc brakes on all four wheels, McConnell said. A standard Crown Victoria has drum brakes on the rear wheels.
A touch of Irish in downtown Lawrence
The cars also will be customized with dual exhaust pipes, 3.5-inch heavy-duty drive shafts, lowered air dams and larger radiators, he said.
Accessories will include the lights and sirens, spotlights, loudspeakers, two-way radios and radio suppressors.
The cars will be powered by 84- amp batteries and 130- amp alternators. The power will be connected by an extensive wiring system to an even more extensive array of accessories, he said.
Wheeler said the new cars will be outfitted with a standard police package.
The department, he said, was looking forward to getting its new vehicles.
"Since patrol cars are used 24 hours a day, they get worn out pretty quickly," he said. "These are needed pretty badly."

Member of Peace Brigades to speak about human rights
By Emily C. Forsyth
eforsyth@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Group helps prevent violence to activists
Mahony has worked to protect human rights in war-torn countries, where people's basic freedoms and lives are at risk. Despite his experiences, Mahoney maintains an optimistic outlook for the future of human rights.
Liam Mahony has placed himself in harm's way for the past 11 years.
Mahony will speak at 7 onight in the Ecumenical Christian Ministries building, 1204 Oread Ave. His speech, titled Standing in Harm's Way: Pragmatic Nonviolence Confronts Organized Terror is sponsored by Latin American studies.
"It's not just some dismal black hole of hopelessness." Mahony said.
He will talk about his experience working for Peace Brigades International and about a book that he co-authored titled "Unarmed Bodyguards: International Accompaniment for the Protection of Human Rights."
unteer. These unarmed volunteers physically accompany human rights activists facing threats from death squads and tyrannical governments.
Manony began working for Peace Brigades International in 1987 as an accompaniment vol-
Mahony has worked in Guatemala and Haiti and has interviewed activists and accompanied volunteers, military officials and political leaders in El Salvador, Sri Lanka and Colombia.
The theory of accompaniment is that violence will not be carried out in front of foreign witnesses.
Although the conditions in these countries were dangerous, Mahony said the activists working to protect human rights had been a source of hope.
we generally only hear about the wars, terrorists or leaders of the countries," Mahony said. "I've found working with these courageous local activists to be very inspiring."
Mahony said accompaniment had proven successful. He never has witnessed an act of violence.
"One of my main goals is to give people a positive message," Mahony said. "Even though I'm talking about violent places in the world, there is a lot of hope for change in a peaceful direction."
Will Holliday, graduate research assistant in Latin American studies, said Mahony would bring an important message.
"We chose Liam because we felt that human

rights are an important issue in Latin America and the world right now," Holliday said. "We thought that people would gain an understanding about what the possibilities were for improving human-rights conditions in Latin America and throughout the world."
Mahoney also will speak at 1 p.m. tomorrow in Lawrence High School's auditorium and at 8 p.m. in Free State High School's auditorium. He will sign his book at 7 p.m. tomorrow at Borders Bookstore.
New releases enter music scene
Albums capture edge of horizon
By Kelly Corcoran Special to the Kansan
Freakwater · Springtime · Thrill Jockey · "Whiskey is not evil, when it's sitting on the shelf." Imagine that sung in a sweet, deep Southern drawl. Think Emmylou Harris...pure but delicate. Add toe-tapping country instrumentation on a banjo, guitar and basic rhythm section.
The folks in Freakwater have drunk a lot of whiskey, I have no doubt. In their four albums spanning eight years, Freakwater members have established themselves as traditional country favorites.
Because liquor and country music are wed by history, let's move to Freakwater's One Big Union, a pessimistic comment about the desperate times for the labor movement, and Washed in the Blood, a song about death in a rather optimistic light.
Smart lyrics and proficient music make Freakwater's new album Springtime an appropriate album for the season.
Guitarists and vocalists Janet
Beveridge Bean and Catherine Irwin see Freakwater as their springtime after emerging from a two-year hiatus from playing together.
Springtime is in a blossoming sense as well because this album is the first with four full-fledged members for Freakwater. Alternative-country or No Depression (the name of the genre's leading music magazine) albums have come up short as of late, but with more great records like Springtime, the hibernation season could be complete for the national country scene as well.
Buffalo Daughter · New Rock · Grand Royal · This Japanese group's second album released in the United States on Grand Royal could fit into several categories, but schizophrenic is most appropriate. Moving among a rock trio plus a disc jockey and electronic and psychedelic and pop music, the sounds of New Rock will garner many comparisons to Beck's Odelay, particularly the first single Great 5 Lakes.
Buffalo Daughter is two women, Sugar Yoshinaga and Yumiko Ohno, and DJ Moog Yamamoto, all of whom credit bands from Kraftwerk to The Slits to The Beatles as influences. It is that unique balance of electronic and organic that makes Buffalo Daughter into the correct evolution for bands of the late 1990s. That same balance leads Buffalo Daughter astray on about half of the cuts on the album.
sound judgment
The album comes off hit-and-miss as a complete listen. The short intermission pieces that are reminiscent of spinning I am a Walrus backward on a turntable help the flow of the album, but I compare the mish-mashing of styles to the art of a elaborate cocktail: get the right ingredients in the correct portions.
Some highlights on the album include Super Blooper, an organic drum-and-bass track that highlights Ohno's precise drumming skills; No New Rock, a Minutemen/Gang of Four punk tune; and Sky High, a psychedelic instrumental song that Pink Floyd fans will dig.
The Donnas - American Teenage Rock 'n' Roll Machine-Lookout- Imagine four 18-year
old Joan Jetts, all of whom like the Ramones but live for Kiss. This is the formula for the four girls in The Donnas.
Hailing from somewhere in the trashy side of the valley, Donna F., Donna A., Donna R. and Donna C. have been playing in a band for four whopping years. Now graduated from high school, The Donnas are picking up steam and are ready to take America by storm.
You could think that novelty is all that carries four girls named Donna. You could be right, but I would save you are wrong.
The Donnas write and play tight, fun pop punk. Right out of the Runaways' bag of tricks, the Donnas touch on all the high school subjects you could want to hear. Gimme my Radio (a big KJHK hit), Rock 'n' Roll Machine and You Make Me Hot cover sex, music and cars. Is there anything else?
On the flip side, riding a gimmick like four girls with the first same name making up a band can only last so long. I love novelty as much as the next guy, but let's hope good taste wins, and The Donnas only release one album.
Kelly Corcoran is the KJHK music director. You can hear these albums on KJHK by calling the request line 864-4747.

Wildcats claw their way to the top
The Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — Call them the Come-
back 'Cats.
Kentucky capped a truly maddening March with an unprecedented second-half rally. Liah 79.
69 last night to win its second NCAA championship in three years. And the Wildcats did it this time with a new coach and without stars in their lineup.
Kentucky won its seventh national title with its third straight rally of the tournament and became the first team to overcome a 10-point halftime deficit.
PETER WOLFSTROE
Smith: Leads Kansas tucky to a 78-69 win against Utah.
With Tubby Smith working the sidelines
instead of Rick Pitino and with former stars Antoine Walker, Ron Mercer and Derek Anderson in the NBA, Kentucky moved one trophy closer to UCLA's record total of 11.
It was the third straight year the Wildcats were in the championship game — they lost to Arizona in overtime last season — and the third straight year they ended Utah's
season in the NCAA tournament.
K
Utah's impressive run to what would have been the school's second title and first since 1944 ended because Kentucky did what No. J
seeds Arizona and North Carolina couldn't do against the Utes -- shoot well.
Just as they had in the South Regional final against Duke and again in the national semifinals against Stanford, the Wildcats fell behind in the first half, trailing 41-31 at halftime. The deficit was as many as 12 points in the opening minutes of the second half before Kentucky started shooting well, something Utah's last two opponents couldn't do.
The Utes, the second-best defensive team in the country this season, had held its five tournament opponents to 39 percent shooting and an average of 62.5 points.
Kentucky, which finished 29-for-57 from the field (51 percent), chipped away at the lead by scoring on seven of 10 possessions. The Wildcats took the lead for the first time since early in the first half at 60-58 with 7:16 to play on a breakaway dunk by Jeff Shepard after he stole the ball from Hanno Mot

But a three-pointer by Cameron Mills, Kentucky's fifth of the game — all in the second half — and a driving jumper by Sheppard with 4:53 left gave the Wildcats the lead for good.
Sheppard's jumper was Kentucky's last field goal until the dunk by Wayne Turner with 12 seconds to play. The Wildcats went 11-for-12 from the foul line down the stretch, and Utah scored on just two of its last 10 possessions.
Scott Padgett led the Wildcats with 17 points, while Sheppard had 16.
Miller led the Utes with 16 points, while Mottola and Michael Doleac each had 15 and Jensen 14.
As the trophy was presented by Selection Committee chairman C.M. Newton, who also happens to be the athletic director at Kentucky and the man who picked Smith to succeed Pitino, the crowd chanted "Tubby, Tubby."
Utah had beaten defending national champion Arizona in the West Regional final. The Utes had to hang on to beat North Carolina in the Final Four, but they couldn't do it against Kentucky as the Wildcats wore down the nation's top rebounding team.
Preparing for the national championships

Members of the University of Kansas cheerleading national squad run through a final practice yesterday night at Anschutz Sports Pavilion. The squad will hold an open performance at Anschutz at 8 tonight.
The squad will leave tomorrow for Daytona Beach, Fla., where it will compete in the National Cheerleaders Association Collegiate National Championship. That championship is the world's largest collegiate cheerleading competition—this year it will feature more than 10,000 cheerleaders and spectators from 175 schools.

New attitude pitched by team
The Kansas baseball team plays today at Southwest Missouri State (11-8) and will play a doubleheader in Lawrence against Baker tomorrow.
"We now know we have to have all 26 guys believing good things are going to happen to compete," Wedd said. "This change happened between games on Saturday, and we beat a ten-t队."
Catcher Shane Wedd said the team's attitude had changed after a 13-4 thumping Saturday at the hands of the ninth-ranked Oklahoma Sooners.
Baseball
The team finished the weekend 1-2 against the Sooners (20-7). The Jayhawks won the middle game of the series 20-11 after a nine-run first inning, before losing the finale 14-11 in extra innings.
Second baseman Andy Juday and Wedd have supplied the offense lately.
Juday had eight hits and drove in eight runs, and Wedd pounded a pair of home runs in the Oklahoma series.
Pitching has continued to be a problem area. The staff allowed 38 runs while walking 19 batters in three games.
"When you put that many men on base, they're going to score," head coach Bobby Randall said. "Our pitchers can't continue to give our opponents so many chances to score."

Rain fouls play for softball team
The Kansas softball team was scheduled to play a doubleheader against Creighton today but had to reschedule because of yesterday's rain. The two teams will meet April 28 at Jayhawk Field in Lawrence.
The Jayhawks will play Wichita State in a doubleheader at 5 and 7 p.m. tomorrow in Wichita. Kansas goes into the series after winning three consecutive games.
The team will travel to Texas for two doubleheaders against Texas and Texas A&M Saturday and Sunday.
The Jayhawks began Big 12 Conference play last weekend. They split a doubleheader with No. 23 Texas Tech and swept two games against Baylor at Jayhawk Field. Kansas is 17-20 in the season and 3-1 in the conference.
The Kansas softball team was honored earlier this year by the National Fastpitch
Coaches Association, which determines the top 10 Division I All-Academic softball teams each year. Kansas ranked eighth in the nation with a .325 GPA. The rankings were based on the 1996-97 school year.
Six high school seniors have signed letters of intent to play for Kansas next year, including three recruits from Arizona, two from the Kansas City area and one from Oklahoma.
- Freshman pitcher Jessi Kowal was nominated for Big 12 Pitcher of the Week last week after posting a 0.28 ERA and giving up one earned run.
Left fielder Sara Holland was nominated for Big 12 Player of the Week last week. She batted .368 for the week and had two doubles, three RBI and four stolen bases. Holland leads the team with 18 stolen bases and 25 runs.

Commentary Smith counters racist legacy at Kentucky
SAN ANTONIO—It is not a new story, but after last night's men's NCAA championship game, it has become even more important.
When he looked across the court at his compe
The team was led by Adolph Rupp, a man long identified as a bigot who would not recruit—or want to play against—Black players.
In 1966, a team of white players from Kentucky took the floor in College Park, Md., with hopes of winning a national basketball title.
The rest, as they say, is history
tition on that day in 1966, what he saw in the opposition was Texas Western (now Texas-El Paso), a team that started five Black players.
Rupp and his Wildcats were beaten, and the game has since been pointed to as a stepping stone for diversity in college and professional basketball.
Fast-forward to last
Spencer Duncan
sports@kansan.com
That's because Orlando "Tubby" Smith was on the sideline, the first and only Black coach to lead the Kentucky Wildcats.
Thirty-two years ago, living in rural Maryland, Smith was paying attention to that legendary game. And he hasn't forgotten it.
night, when the Kentucky Wildcats faced Utah. Both teams started white and Black athletes. And yet, like 32 years ago, race was still part of the story.
"It what I took away from Texas Western is that it gave all underdogs some hope." Smith said.
Soon after Kentucky lost in 1966, the team began to integrate. Since then, it has had some tremendous Black players, including Sam Bowie, Jamal Mashburn and Ron Mercer. But that game is still not forgotten.
The legacy that Rupp left behind is always remembered. That Rupp is one of the most successful coaches in history hasn't mattered. He still has blamed for setting basketball back by refusing to play Black players.
Then along came Tubby Smith. Before this season began, the school often associated with racism in college basketball hired a Black head coach.
But Smith swears that hasn't happened this year. In fact, Smith already has done what his predecessor, Rick Pitino, did: He got the team to the title game.
"The first time you lose a game," one columnist wrote, "you will be called a stupid coach. You will be called a stupid Black coach."
The Wildcats lost three games at home this season. After the third loss, people were calling for Smith to be fired. It was only a minority of people, but no one called for Pitino to be fired when he had three home losses.
When Smith was given the job, some writers around the Kentucky area said that Smith had better watch out.
He is above all of it, he says, and his job is to be a coach. He tries to disregard what the ignorant people have to say. Smith says this is not about race but about coaching.
He went into the job knowing that he would face harsh criticism. Like it or not, it was up to him to not only win games, but to wipe away the blemishes that Ruup had created.
And being a great person and coach, Smith has done a little of both.
In one successful season, Smith has shown Kentucky that a Black man can lead them. At least he has shown most of them
At least he has shown most of them.
There are still those ignorant fools who think it is still white against Black. At one point in Saturday's Utah-North Carolina game, a Kentucky fan leaned on and said, "Those white boys really want to beat those Black boys." He was referring to the fact that Utah is a predominantly white team, while North Carolina is a predominantly Black team.
Smith has done his best to shut up the detractors. But some people will not change.
It doesn't matter that Kentucky defeated Utah last night. By having a successful season, Smith has shown Kentucky that history is being made.
Smith also has done his best to put race aside. But when you are the first Black coach at a school remembered for Jim Crow beliefs, it is hard.
And at least one person is noticing
