accident. According to Lawrence police reports, Vestal was intoxicated and speeding at the time of the accident.
Vestal will be represented at the hearing by attorney James L. Eisenbrandt, who did not return a phone call.
The purpose of the hearing is for the state to convince a judge that the case should go to trial.
"The state, as prosecutor, has to put on evidence to support that they have probable cause to prove the elements of the crime," said Braxton Copley, Legal Services for Students staff attorney.
The state issued subpoenas Aug. 6 to 17 people to testify at the hearing.
The results of both breath and blood tests conducted by police on Vestal will be admissible as evidence in court.
Those subpoenaed include Angela Boley, Eden Prairie, Minn., sophomore, who was with Rosel on the night of the accident.
Also subpoenaed were Rosel's mother, Karen, and former University Daily Kansan columnist and eyewitness to the accident John Colbert. Colbert was a senior last school year.
The state's witnesses will be accessible to Vestal's attorney at the hearing.
"The person being charged has the right to be represented by counsel," Copley said. "At the hearing, that counsel can cross-examine the state's witnesses."
The hearing will be in Douglas County District Court, 111 E. 11th St., at 1:45 p.m. on Aug. 31.
Involuntary manslaughter is a severity-level five personal felony. If Vestal is convicted of involuntary manslaughter and has no prior record, sentencing guidelines require no presumptive imprisonment or probation. However, he could face 31 to 34 months of imprisonment or probation, Copley said.

Chancellor has a moving day at GSP-Corbin
By Sarah Nale
Kansan staff writer
The chancellor and other administrators did not have the day off just because it was Saturday.
University of Kansas Chancellor Robert Hemenway was lifting boxes, carrying televisions and running up stairs — all duties that probably are not listed in his job description.
Hemenway was at Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall at 8 a.m. Saturday to help the women move into their new home. About 10 other administrators were at GSP-Corbin and other residence halls to greet new students and help them carry items inside, said Tom Hutton director of University Relations.
"The chancellor wanted to make KU student-center and show them that they are important." Hutton said. "What better way to do that at their first exposure to the University?"
The chancellor began by greeting students and shaking hands, but as the morning progressed, he had worked up a sweat.
"The biggest thing I carried was this wardrobe box about 7 feet long." Hemenway said. "I didn't know if we could get it around the stairs."
One of the only accidents the chancellor bad was a cart that he helped overturn.
Hutton said that helping at the residence halls was the chancellor's idea.
"We've got a chancellor who is very hands-on and very interested in the students," he said. "He's the kind of person who's not afraid to lift up his sleeves and get his hands dirty."

New system rushes students
Process is designed to help ease scheduling conflicts during first move-in day
By Sarah Hale
After years of chaos, fighting and pure luck trying to get a parking space, moving day at Gertrude Sellars Pearson-Corbin Hall just got easier.
The University Public Safety and Housing departments decided this was the year to do something about the parking lot and conflicting sorority rush schedules.
With nearly 700 women, most of whom are on time constraints for rush, trying to move in at the same time, the GSP-Corbin lots and neighboring streets normally were complete pandemonium, said Ralph Oliver, head of the Department of Public Safety.

issued tractor This year, the Public Safety Department decided to change the process to make it more pleasant for everyone involved, Oliver said. The two departments began working on the changes about two weeks ago.
"I was asked by my boss to look at the situation and make it a more positive process," he said. "This will give everyone a parking
Parents and students often resorted to parking illegally, which resulted in city-issued tickets and numerous complaints.
The new process began the same way as in previous years by having the lot completely open in the morning. After the lot was full, instead of driving around hoping to find a spot, the driver of each car was issued a number. As each car left the parking lot, the next number was called and the car could come to the GSP-Corbin lot to park. People were not issued specific time restrictions for each spot, but they were not expected to take longer than one hour.
space in an orderly manner, and it won't just be by chance."
Residents officially checked in at 8 a.m. Saturday to GSP-Corbin Hall. By

KU ranks 48th in list of schools
By Melody Ard
Kansan staff writer
Even at a reasonably priced school, the cost of an education is high. So when a university is identified as a "value," the school, and its prospective students, notice.
The University of Kansas recently was ranked 48th in the Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine's list of the Top 100 Values in State Universities.
"KU always comes out very high on these lists," said Chancellor Robert Hemenway. "People compare the value at KU with the cost of tuition and realize it is an exceptionally good university."
Although Alan Cerveny, director of admissions, said he did not get caught up in the numbers, he said being identified as an educational value was noteworthy.
The Kiplinger's rankings included enrollment, costs, graduation and admission rates as well as average financial-aid packages.
"If you compare the cost of peer institutions, especially on the East Coast, and you take into consideration that a KU degree is highly respected by employers and graduate schools, then it's no surprise that we were ranked that way," Cerveny said.
The magazine estimated total in-state costs to be $6,302, and total out-of-state costs to be $12,720. The average aid package was estimated to be $4,117 by using information collected from Wintergreen/Orchard House, a clearing-

E-mail kiosks to open in unions and libraries
By Liz Wristen Kansan staff writer
Computers limited to e-mail use only
Lines of students waiting to check their e-mail on campus may shorten with the addition of more computers at University of Kansas libraries and unions.
The long-awaited kiosks have arrived and will be installed at the Watson and Anschutz libraries by Thursday and then later this seme-
ter at the Kansas and Burge unions. Students will be able to use the computers installed at Watson and Anschutz libraries to check their e-mail accounts.
Wes Hubert, assistant director of Academic Computing Services, said that the University decided not to allow the computers to be used for web-browsing because of time.
"This idea was suggested by students, for students," Hubert said. "We will be interested in feedback from students as to whether they like the limited access or would prefer a wider range of use."
When space is ready, the
machines will be installed on both the third and fourth levels of the Kansas Union and in the Burge Union.
"We are currently in a state of holding at the unions," said Lydia Ash. Budig Computer Lab adviser. "We are waiting on construction and trying to decide where we can best fit the stations."
The machines allotted for the service, titled Network Express STations (NEST), are Zenith 486 DX33 computers. Bill Loats, consultant/programmer for Academic Computing Services, said that student suggestions provided a wav
"Students would like to check their e-mail from campus," Loats said. "This is a good way for the older machines to provide students with that service."
for the older machines to be used in a good manner.
"With luck, this will be a way for students to check their mail quickly." Ash said. "It will also be helpful to students who are waiting on a response from an instructor."
Ash said that 10 computers would be installed on the third and fourth floors of Watson library, and five computers would be available in Anschutz Science Library.
"These computers are not designed to be a place for students to write a letter home to mom," Ash said. "They are available for quick use, like between classes."
The computers will be placed on tall tables without accompanying chairs. There will be one handicapped-accessible table available at each site, Ash said.
二
Hubert said that anyone without a University account could open one through the following website: http://www.ukans.edu/account.html. Students with comments or questions about the NEST system can send them to nest@ukans.edu.

Instead of sitting at home wondering what to do during these marvelous three days before classes start, get off your duff and join in the fun.
F
or many KU students stuck in the summer mode, Hawk Week offers a transition to
campus before the burden of the fall semester.
The orientation event, which kicks off every school year, began Saturday with HawkMania in the residence halls. Events will run through this weekend.
Hawk Week coordinators Hilary Johnston and Holly Tallen have been organizing the festivities since March.
we have 70 different programs this year, including the day programs," Johnston said. "It's exciting that so many people are taking part in it. It's become a bigger event, this year especially. We have a packed schedule."
Some students agreed that Hawk Week helped the transition from summer to campus life.
Jessica Bodine, Leawood junior, said the Hawk Week activities last year helped her relax.
"I was really nervous when I got here," she said. "I remember going to the dance on Daisy Hill. I wasn't expecting to see so many people there. It's where I met my boyfriend."
Scott Hasty, Overland Park sophomore, said last year's Movie on the Hill was a popular event.
"I saw a lot of people I knew," he said. "It gets the students on campus and gets them to meet people."
Tracie Schuler, Student Union Activities graduate advisor, said last year's Movie on the Hill attracted about 6,000 people
This year's movie, to be shown Sunday, is $Screen 2$.
Tenight's events include an ice cream social at Adams Alumni Center, followed by Traditions Night at Memorial Stadium.
The KU Marching Band and the spirit squads will direct the crowd through the various KU traditions, such as waving the wheat, the alma mater, the Rock Chalk chant and the fight song.
Terry Allen, football coach, and Bob Frederick, athletics director, both will
speak at Traditions Night. Johnston said she
expected the event, which was rained out last year, to draw a crowd of about 3,000 students and community members.
Jason Hannah, Overland Park sophomore, said he was planning on going to Traditions Night.
"I was very disappointed that I didn't get to go last year because at basketball games I can't do the clap to the fight song — I feel left out," he said.
Johnston said a major part of Traditions Night was the passing of the torch, which is symbolic to passing knowledge and growth to a new freshman class.
"It starts at the Campanile," Johnston said. "The presidents of Omicron Delta Kappa and Mortar Board, two honors fraternities, bring the torch down the hill into Memorial Stadium. Then representatives of each class take turns passing it until it ends at the stage in Memorial Stadium. Passing the torch on is kind of symbolic. It's welcoming the freshmen into the beginning of a new school year."
Convocation, another traditional event during Hawk Week, will be Wednesday at the Lied Center. Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Kevin Yoder, student body president, are scheduled to speak.
Several new activities have been added to this year's itinerary.
Tomorrow night's Beach-n-Boulevard will put a new twist on a traditional event.
The Grammy Award-winning Trinidad Tripoli Steel Band will perform tomorrow at Beach-n-Boulevard in front of Wescoe Hall. The reggae band has performed at more than 325 major colleges and universities.
SUA has brought back Wheatstock, an outdoor concert on Campanile Hill. Schuler said she was expecting a big turnout on Saturday for Wheatstock '98
"We're hoping it will eventually be as big as Daw on the Hill," she said.
Wheat Stock'98
The Glitter Kicks, The L.A. Rambiers and The Norman 360, all Lawrence bands, will perform at Wheatstock. The concert is free.
Friday, the Kansas Union will sponsor Union Fest '98. Katrina Warren, marketing coordinator for the Kansas and Burge Unions, said this year's event had a swing theme.
"Students thought it would be popular because of the new movement of swing music, but we're not emphasizing the

Another Hawk Week event, new this year, was Playfest, which was held last weekend.
In previous years, Playfair, a national company, held events on the east lawn of Allen Field House. This year, Robinson Center organized the events and renamed the activity Playfest.
Some activities included at Playfest were a rock-climbing wall, sand volley

ball and intramural games. KJHK, the campus radio station, broadcast live by the pool patio.
The residence and scholarship halls on campus also had them-based events this week. HawkMania started last weekend with the comedian Buzz Sutherland performing in Lied Center, followed by the movie Good Will Hunting and a game of laser tag.
This week's HawkMania events include a Hall Crawl, during which the residence halls will hold themed dances.
Tallen said that the campus would feel like home if students took full advantage of the Hawk Week events.
"We want to prepare the students for academic and social success at KU," she said. "We want them to look at all these organizations and see that there are all these opportunities to become involved. If students really utilize these programs, they'll really feel a sense of community."

Hawk Link welcomes minority students
By Steph Brewer
Kansan staff writer
Moving into the residence halls is an experience few college students forget.
Thousands of students and parents converge upon campus dragging bags, boxes, computers and stereos behind them in the few carts that are available Since it is Kansas, and it is August, these thousands are most likely sweaty and tired from the sweltering heat. For many freshman, not one face in the sea of people is familiar.
Moving in is an overwhelming experience. For minority students, it can be even harder. For them, the faces are not only unfamiliar, but also mostly white.
Last weekend, for the first time, a program called Hawk Link helped minority students move into the residence halls.
The Black Student Union decided last
semester that something needed to be done about the discomfort minority students may feel when coming to a mostly white university.
"BSU basically thought there needed to be some changes," said Patty Iga, Plano, Texas, senior, and Hawk Link's committee chairwoman for public relations.
This idea turned into Hawk Link, when BSU joined with the Hispanic American Leadership Organization, the Asian American Student Union and the Native American Student Association, Iea said.
The program developed further when Hawk Link gained support from Student Senate, Chancellor Robert Hemenway, the Office of Minority Affairs, Student Union Activities, community businesses and Coca-Cola.
After helping situate the students in
the residence halls, more than 50 volunteers held a pizza party Saturday night, a catered dinner and information fair with faculty, including Chancellor Hemenyw, yesterday. Saturday morning, Iga said she was confident that the weekend would be a success.
"I feel it's going to fall together pretty well." she said.
Tisha McCoy, BSU member and Hawk Link volunteer said helping the students move in was a great experience. When she moved in as a freshman, things were different.
"I lived in the (Jayhawker) Towers." McCoy said. "There were no welcoming efforts, especially for minority students on a primarily white campus."
Kayleta Adams, Omaha, Neb., freshman, who was taking advantage of Hawk Link's help, said she planned to take part in the weekend activities.
"That's what I liked about Kansas.
There's lots of opportunity to be involved," she said.
Volunteer J.R. Roland, BSU member, said he would have appreciated a program like Hawk Link as a freshman.
"It's a good barrier breaker for minorities coming to this school," he said.
The volunteers stressed that it was important to connect with the freshman the first week of school.
"I really think it was a program that needed to be installed at the University," said Aurora Marin, HALO member and Hawk Link volunteer. "First impressions count."

**What:** A program to help minority students get settled during the first week of school.
**Who:** The main sponsors of the event were AASI BS1 BAHIO and NASA.

KU's value high in list of schools
Continued from page 1A
house for statistics on U.S. colleges and universities, and information gathered by the magazine.
Cerveny said that although the rankings were good, he thought that students' choices to attend the University were based more on personal needs rather than just the price tag.
"Cost is important, but students don't make the decision to come here based only on that," he said. "Many are blown away by the beautiful campus, impressive facilities and the sense of community and school spirit."
Business student Wendy Norris, Winchester senior, said the cost was not the primary factor in her decision to attend.
"Location was a big factor," she said. "There were other schools closer, but KU has a good business school. It wasn't as much the cost as getting in and getting finished quickly."
Tuition and living costs were not necessarily the primary factor in most students' decision to come to the University, but they were selling points for the admissions office to lure prospective Jayhawks.
"It's always exciting when we are identified as a top university," Cerveny said. "KU ends up in a lot of national publications for its education programs and that makes top students sit up and take notice."
Other Big 12 schools ranked on the list were; the University of Texas, 12th; the University of Missouri, 26th; the University of Colorado, 34th; Texas A&M, 40th; Kansas State University, 59th; Oklahoma State University, 74th; and the University of Oklahoma, 76th.
The University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill was ranked first.
Parents, students get help moving in
Continued from page 1A
7:45 a.m. the lot was full and cars were waiting in the holding lot.
The parents and students were asked to wait with their cars in lot 94 near Memorial Stadium. After this lot filled, the cars were sent to park in lot 91, next to the Kansas Union. Various booths with food, rush information, parking permits and advertisements for Union events, were set up on the tennis courts between the two lots.
"It's not a bad deal, we got coffee and doughnuts. You know, it could have been a lot worse," said Larry Karns, Topeka resident, while waiting to move in his daughter Lindsey. "We had been told that you have to circle the lot, and it's like sharkys trying to get a spot, but
this is a lot nicer."
Keeping the situation under control took nearly all of the KU police department. Maj. Chris Keary said that most of the department controlled traffic and directed cars, while other officers monitored other residence halls. Clerical staff at the KU Office of Public Safety also helped administer numbers to the vehicles and call for cars over a PA system.
The lack of spaces in the lots was not the reason for the new process — the conflicting rush schedules were the main motivation.
The residents involved in rush had to check in between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturday at the Union. They had meetings with rush counselors at 3 p.m. and an orientation at 6 p.m. This did not leave them much
time to arrive and unpack.
"I don't think this system is that bad, but my dad was out trying to buy an earlier number," said Joanna Stockwell. Lenexa freshman.
Because of the quickness of this new process, the housing department did not have enough time to inform the parents about the move in system.
Fred McElhene, associate housing director, said that next year the department planned on letting the parents know what was going to happen.
"We would have liked to know ahead of time, but this is so much better now than when we moved in my other daughter 10 years ago," said Linda Flick, Wichita resident, while helping her daughter Sarah move in. "Since this is the first year for the process, they should get an A+."

Plans on table for Sixth Street
By Chris Fickett
Kansan staff writer
Iowa Street south of 31st Street has been the center of retail development in Lawrence during the past few years with the addition of Hollywood Theatres and Super Target, but West Sixth Street may be the next area to be developed.
There still are obstacles to be overcome.
"The problem with development in northwest Lawrence is that three-fourths of the land isn't even in the city." City Manager Mike Wilden said.
Two 50-acre parcels of land are up for annexation, but their fate is in the hands of the Lawrence Planning Commission, he said.
Will development in northwest Lawrence duplicate southwest Lawrence, with sprawls of new single-family homes, townhomes and apartment complexes? Or could it resemble Iowa Street south of 31st Street, with multiple retail chains?
Neither, said Gary Toebben, president of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce. "The Northwest Lawrence Development Plan calls for a mix of retail stores, commercial office space and residential areas."he said.
A major part of the plan will be the expansion of West Sixth Street. The expansion project includes widening the street to four lanes from Wakarus Drive to the South Lawrence Trafficway and installing lighting, curbs and a median.
"We will be working very hard with the state legislature to include West Sixth Street from Wakarusa to the South Lawrence Trafficway in the state's comprehensive highway bill that we expect will pass in 1999." Toebben said.
John Nalbandian, city commissioner and KU professor, said there were other logistical problems that must be resolved before development can occur.
First, Nalbandian said that annexation was contingent on the zoning that the person requests. This means that if a developer put in a request to the City Commission that a plot of land be annexed in the city and zoned commercial, the commission would have to approve the land use before annexing the land.
Second, if the commission were to
annex land and allow development, Nalbandian said that Sixth Street west of Wakarusa Drive lacks the infrastructure for development. Now, Sixth Street west of Wakarusa Drive is a two-lane blacktop road with no curbs. For development, water lines, sewers and gutters also would have to be installed.
If a potential developer proposed a plan to build along West Sixth Street and the annexation and zoning of the land were approved, development still could not take place because of the lack of infrastructure. If West Sixth Street already had been widened, developers' zoning requests would still need to be approved by the commission in order for building to begin.
"It's a timing issue," Nalbandian said.
He said that retail development in northwest Lawrence could be restricted by the city's land-use plan.
"The land-use plan currently states that downtown is the central business district," he said. "Any development that jeopardizes the central business district would be closely monitored before approved."
When Leni Salkind moved to Lawrence in 1973, she used to take walks west on 15th Street from her home near Meadowbrook.
By Chris Fickett
Kansan staff writer
Salkind did not see houses on the north side of the street and there was no Kwik Shop when she reached Kasold Avenue.
Instead, Salkind saw horses running through fields and the sunset behind the scattered farm houses on top of the hill just west of Kasold Avenue.
Lawrence continues to see growth
Even in the past 25 years the size and look of Lawrence has significantly changed.
Salkind did not see Hy-Vee or Sports Page Brewery — only more horses, farms and fields.
"There was nothing out there," Salkind said. "I don't even remember Wakarusa. It was only a country road then."
Not only does Salkind remember when the suburban developments of West Lawrence did not exist but she remembers a time when Lawrence residents were much more friendly to their
"People out there don't know their neighbors the way people in other neighborhoods do," she said. "It's more of a bedroom community."
neighbors.
By bedroom community,
Salkind said she was meant the West Lawrence population that commutes every day to Kansas City or Topeka via the South Lawrence Trafficway.
Ann Eversole, associate dean of student life, said that the size of some of the homes in West Lawrence created a sharp contrast with some of the older neighborhoods in East Lawrence.
"Some of those are giant, three-
quarter million dollar homes," she said.
Eversole said that the differences among a neighborhood on Wakarusa Street, downt o w n
Lawrence, the University of Kansas campus and the rest of Lawrence made Lawrence an interesting town.
"Sometimes it feels like there are a lot of different Lawrences," she said.
Susan Elkins, KU Information Center coordinator, said that when she moved to Lawrence in 1973, people in Lawrence were more interconnected than today.
"Back then, people were much more liberal and interested in keeping the town open and friendly," she said. "There were more mom and pop stores. People weren't as concerned with development as they are now."

Computers update rush system to help process run smoothly
By Sarah Hale Kanson staff writer
Beth, a Rho Chi (right), helps Megan Nelson, Bloomington, Minn., freshman, move into Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall. Rushes are not told the full name and chapter affiliation of their Rho Chi until the final day of flair. Sorority rush coordinators helped students moving on at Saturday.

The 872 women involved in rush this year have a change in the rush process — they do not have to wake up at 5 a.m. anymore.
CAROLINA BORNES
In past years, the women had to wake up early so that they could find out which chapters had given them invitations. This year, two changes in the rush process eliminate that hassle, said Kara Douglass, vice president of membership for Panhellenic.
Last spring, the rush council and Panhellenic Office decided to alter the process to include the women's preferences.
After examining the rush system at the University of Indiana, the Panhellenic Office approved the new "priority rush" process.
Previously, after the rushees visited the different sorority houses, the chapters extended invitations to the women in whom they were interested. The rushees selected only from among the chapters' invitations.
This year, after the house visits, the chapters will make lists of rushees in whom they are interested. The women also will list the sororities in an order of preference following the house visits.
This will help "to reduce the amount of peer influence that occurs when women have long periods of time to talk," said Meg Goddzer, graduate
assistant for greek programs.
All lists are entered into a computer database and matched together.
Douglass said: "It is going to seem like more of a mutual process by matching the chapter's invitations and the rushee's preferences. It allows the women to have a say. More women will stay in rush because it turns the focus around from the chapters."
The process is repeated until each woman has up to three choices remaining.
Another change in the rush process may help the rushes adjust, Douglass said. Last spring, 48 women trained to be rush counselors, or Rho Chis. They will assist the rushes throughout the week and answer any questions. In past years, one Rho Chi was assigned to about 20 women. This year, the group increased to about 40 women for each Rho Chi.
"It's definitely going to be better because the girls have a better chance of getting with a Rho Chi that they can click with," said Kristen Merchant, vice president for interfraternal relations for Panhellenic.
There are 42 more women rushing this fall than last fall. This is the most women rushing since 1993, when 877 participated, according to Bill Nelson, coordinator of greek programs.
The rusheshe' schedule of events will remain similar to past years despite the
onanges. They will continue visiting houses until the end of the week and will participate in various Hawk Week activities.
Saturday, the rushees will meet at Allen Field House and
"This is good for the chapters and great for the rushes," said Libby Sigg, Panhellenic president.
then each rushee will proceed to the house of the chapter with which she was matched.
Blue containers house four slots for different items
By Liz Wristen
Kansan staff writer
Bright-blue containers will dot the hallways of University of Kansas buildings. The mission: to allow students to recycle more efficiently.
The University has installed 48 of the 50 blue recycling centers that were ordered for campus buildings, said Victoria Silva, an environmental specialist for the Environment, Health and Safety Department. The remaining two centers will be added to the basement of Strong Hall once construction in that building is finished.
The installation of the centers is part of a pilot project, Silva said.
"The centers will allow students to recycle so much more than in the past," she said. "They offer slots for different types of items to be recycled."
Each center offers three slots for fibers, as white paper, junk mail and newspaper, and a slot for either plastic or aluminum.
Silva said she thought the centers would increase the amount of newspaper recycling. The University stopped using a campus recycling bin last year that was in front of Stauffer-Flint Hall. Silva said that once that bin was gone, students had less of an opportunity for recycling newspaper on campus.
Many of the original recycling bins also have been in
WHERE ARE THE BINS?
Buildings with one bin:
Anschutz Sports Pavilion
- Blake Hall
- Budig Hall
- Burt Hall
- Green Hall
- Marvin Hall
- Military Science Building
- Moore/Parker Hall
- Nichols Hall
- Parrot Athletic Center
- Smith Hall
- Snow Hall
- Spencer Research Library
- Youngberg Hall
violation of fire codes, Silva said. She said that any hallway items not attached to the walls or floors were not supposed to be in campus buildings.
Silva said almost 50,000 bottles were collected from the University. Overall, about 188,000 pounds of newspaper, magazines, cardboard, aluminum and plastic had been recycled.
Buildings with two bins:
* Bailey Hall
* Carruth-O'Leary Hall
* Dale Center
* Lindley Hall
* Malati Hall
* Stauffer-Flint Hall
* Watkins Health Center
Funding for the new recycling centers came primarily from student fees and money from the Coca-Cola contract. Much of the $100,000 budgeted for the recycling program has not yet been spent.
The number of bins in each building will depend on how many clerical offices are in the building.
"The centers will be attached once we make sure they work in the buildings." Silva said. "We want to make sure they are utilized by students and faculty before they are attached. We may also decide to move them to another part of a hallway or move them up or down a floor depending on their usage."
Buildings with three or more
bins:
■ Fraser Hall
■ Learned Hall
■ Strong Hall
■ Wescoe Hall
"We are functioning not on just grassroots but through the support of students and the University," Silva said.
One location on campus that will begin its own recycling program this year is Jayhawker Towers, which has its own budget and have set up recycling centers in Towers B and D for about 800 residents.
"We are implementing our own recycling pilot program for the fall," said Sherien Rouhani, community development assistant at Jayhawker Towers. "We think this program will be a tremendous help because apartment living usually generates a lot more trash than the residence halls because apartment residents cook for themselves and have to go grocery shopping."
Rouhani said she was working with Silva to facilitate recycling of cardboard, glass, plastic, paper and aluminum.
"I think this is going to be extremely successful," Rouhani said. "We have a large number of people living here, and this program should be really useful for everyone."

Renovations revamp several campus areas
By Julio M. Sashs
Kansan staff writer
Much of the University of Kansas campus is under construction.
One of the largest projects in progress is the renovation in Allen Field House.
changes include renovated and improved concession areas and upgraded restrooms that would meet Americans with Disabilities Act requirements, said Jim Modig, director of design and construction management.
Construction crews also are installing an elevator tower in the field house, are installing floor fixtures to eliminate tripping hazards and are making several electrical upgrades, Modig said.
The cost for these improvements would cost about $2,375,500. Modig said.
A new sports center separate from the field house is under construction. Modig said the building would house a new basketball and volleyball practice facility and also would be used for volleyball competitions.
Other sports areas also are under construction. Hoglund-Maupin Stadium is experiencing major renovations, Modig said.
Changes to the stadium include improvements to seating, restrooms and the dugouts. Modig said that the press box and suites also would
undergo construction.
Costs for the Hoglund-Maupin Stadium renovations are estimated at $1.3 million dollars and are scheduled for completion Oct. 1, Modig said.
Budig Hall once again is under construction. However, this time changes will be minor.
Renovation would affect only the library area, which is in the basement. Modig said that the changes include painting the walls and making ceiling and heating-system improvements.
Final costs for the Budig Hall project are estimated at $411,000.
"They are finishing up now." Modig said. "It will be open in mid-September."
One of the more prominent renovations occurring on campus includes the construction in Strong Hall.
Strong Hall renovations, now near completion, include the addition of new restrooms, said Douglas Riat, associate director of design and construction management.
"When we are making a new restroom, we are making it ADA acceptable," Riat said.
Safety improvements also would be added to the building. Riat said these improvements include new fire alarms throughout the building and new stairwell enclosures.
"The project is about 75 percent complete,"
Total costs for the renovations in Strong Hall are estimated at $1,776,877.
Riat said.
Other Renovations
Wesco Hall: improvement of handcapped facilities; estimated cost $43,000.
Blake Hall: Classroom renovations; estimated cost $71,000.
Green Hall: Classroom renovations; estimated cost $274,000.
Malait Hall: Classroom renovations; estimated cost $281,000. Lab renovations; estimated cost $483,000.
Memorial Stadium: Concrete constructional repairs and waterproof concourse package. Renovations of press box and suites; estimated cost not available.
Additional Strong Hall Renovations: Classroom renovations; estimated cost $202,000.
Primary electrical improvements on campus: estimated cost $463,000.
Continuing education moves out of campus building
By Jason Pearce
Kansan staff writer
After 33 years of occupying the three-story house north of the Kansas Union, the University of Kansas division of continuing education is moving into a newer building at 1515 St. Andrews Drive.
Maupintour, an international travel service, recently vacated the building.
The new building was purchased with $2 million in state bonds and $1.2 million from saved revenue and the sale of the division's downtown office. This process began more than a year ago when the division began seeking approval from the University, the Kansas Board of Regents and the Legislature.
The current location, first built as a Pi Beta Phi sorority house, holds administrative and business offices, but its post office is downtown and other services are spread among three annex buildings and a house on Indiana Street.
Robert Senecal, dean of continuing education, said the move would enable employees to share resources better and communicate more efficiently.
Eighty-three full-time employees and 10 part-time employees are scheduled to be working at the new location by Thursday.

"With everyone under one roof, we will be more effective in serving people," Senecal said.
Continuing education offers a variety of services, such as the recertification of numerous professional degrees, independent-study courses, academic outreach programs, conferences and seminars. But in the current location, it cannot have on-site training and conferences.
"We have a big responsibility to provide services to people who do not have the opportunity to come to campus," Senecal said.
The new building would solve this problem because it has a classroom, a conference room and expansion capabilities, he said.
"Our long-range plan involves someone donating money for the expansions," Senecal said. "In exchange, that person would have the building named in their honor."
Senecal said the expansion would include remodeling the office, adding four or five classrooms, a computer lab, an auditorium, a kitchen and an elevator.
is horrendous," he said.
"The demand at the Kansas Union and other places on campus for conference rooms right now
After the move, Senecal said he was looking forward to planning more noncredit courses.
"There will be many programming opportunities available down the road," he said.
Barbara Petersen, director of administration and budget, said the process of changing buildings had been fairly complex, but she had received help from numerous University divisions.
"Months of planning have been put into the transition." Peterson said.
Petersen, who is coordinating the move, said many of the phone numbers would remain the same and a computer network combining all facets of the division would be installed.
Petersen said the move would give employees an added perk.
"Everyone is looking forward to being able to talk to colleagues from other departments and actually work together," she said.
Parking at Oliver, Jayhawker Towers expanded, improved
By Seth Jones

Even though most students were out of town this summer, the parking department stayed busy.
Improvements were made to the parking lots at Oliver Hall and Javhawker Towers.
The parking garage at Jayhawker Towers, which was in disrepair, was torn down and replaced with 217 new parking spots, up from 158 spots last year.
What used to be the circle drive area west of Oliver Hall has been expanded to accommodate more than 70 new parking spots, giving residents a total of 95 parking spaces in the new area.
"Not only is moving day going to be easier, but this will make Oliver Hall as a whole a nicer place to live," said Xavier Rice, Overland Park sophomore and Oliver Hall resident assistant.
Donald Kearns, director of parking, said that both the Oliver Hall and Jayhawker Towers projects were expensive.
"We've invested $300,000 into Oliver Hall parking and $760,000 into Jayhawker Towers parking." Kearns said. "This includes lighting, the basketball courts, everything. Not only will these lots be nicer, but they will, more importantly, be safer for the students."
Also, the lot at Jayhawker Towers will no longer be access from Irving Hill Road. This is another step to make the parking lot safer for students.
Oliver Hall residents need not worry about losing their basketball courts to these new spots, because a new order was made during the summer to save the courts. Student Body President Kevin Yoder called Chancellor Robert Hemenway, and together they worked on a plan to salvage one full court and two half courts.
"The basketball courts may not be ready until the end of August or the beginning of September, but they will be put back," Kearns said. "We are more concerned with being able to make the students move in."
The sand volleyball courts will be saved as well. Fred McElhenie, associate director of student housing. was happy with the changes.
"Even though this is more of a parking department project than a student-housing project, I'm happy it's done because it will improve the quality of living at these two places," McElhenie said.
Josh Welch, Hoisington senior, lived at Oliver Hall for three years.
"Iliked the circle drive Oliver had, and I'll miss it, just because it gave the place personality. The extra parking spots should make life easier on the students, though." he said.
Work on the parking lot at Oliver Hall was not completed until just before students moved in Saturday.

Avoiding crime important part of fall semester
Safety is key to remember on moving day
ay Kolli Rayborn
Kansan staff writer
Students adjusting to life on campus also will have to adjust to crime on campus.
The University of Kansas Public Safety Office, which includes the KU Police Department, will distribute pamphlets and present information on campus during Hawk Week to increase students' awareness of campus crime and of students' roles in its prevention.
"We want to try to make them understand that this isn't home anymore," KU police officer Anthony Augusto said.
Many students from small towns may not be prepared for the size of the campus population and the possibility of crime at the University.
"We want to try to make them understand that this isn't home anymore."
Anthony Augusto KU police officer
"It's an adjustment," Augusto said.
Crime on moving day can force students who fall victim to thieves to make this adjustment quickly. The majority of crimes on campus are property crimes and often involve personal property left unattended, said Sgt. Troy Mailen.
"On moving day, there is a lot of high-dollar property laying around," Mailen said. "Computers, televisions, micwaves ... and a thief will
take just about anything."
Burglaries increased from 266 in 1996 to 348 in 1997, according to the KU Public Safety Office.
Students should never leave belongings unattended and should secure their rooms at all times, even when they are home. Malen said.
A lot of theft occurs when students leave a room unlocked even for a few minutes to go to the bathroom or vending machines. By securing their residence hall rooms, students could prevent a lot of theft on campus, Maileen said.
"All you have to do is lock the door." he said.
In case property theft does occur, students should have basic information about their valuables recorded in a safe place.
"When something is stolen, we're going to ask for serial numbers," Augusto said. "It makes our job easier in trying to recover that property."
Among the information the Public Safety Office will be handing out during Hawk Week is a theft-prevention flier with a chart for recording the serial numbers, brands, models and engraved numbers of their valuable property.
Students also should keep track of their KUID cards, Augusto said, because the cards' cash function cannot be canceled. If stolen, the value the student has put on the cards will be lost.
When students are victims of or witnesses to crime, they should notify the Public Safety Office.
"It's important that if something happens, they report it," Malen said.
Students can call the office at 864-5900 or can call its Crime Stoppers Hotline at 864-8888. On that line, students can give information about crimes anonymously.
For most University of Kansas students, the first couple of weeks of classes are filled with adding and dropping classes, buying books, getting living arrangements finalized and getting acclimated with the usual day-to-day grind of University life.

But for KU students with children, there is an additional challenge of finding someone to care for their children when they are in class - a decision that could affect the health, or even life, of their children.
being investigated as an accident. Police would not comment on the cause of the child's death, and Topeka Coroner Erik Mitchell said that he was not done examining the body.
Last Wednesday, a six-month-old Lawrence child died while in the care of another, Lawrence Police St. George Wheeler said.
The death occurred in the 2700 block of Lawrence Avenue and still is
Angle Bird, the woman who was taking care of the child at the time of its death, also would not comment on the incident.
The Douglas County Child Development Association advises parents to check into the safety of daycare centers.
According to the list, parents should check for things such as safety caps for electrical outlets and the existence of smoke alarms and fire extinguishers.
It has published a list of questions that parents should ask before leaving their children.
Parents also should check for adequate first aid supplies and manuals, CPR Trained staff members and personal-hygiene policies for both the staff and the children.
The association also recommends that parents ask about the experience of the caretakers and their policies on sanitation, nutrition, napping and discipline.
Stephanie Keller, director of Ballard Community Center, a daycare center, said that communication among parents and staff also was important in choosing safe child care facilities.
"The single most important thing in child care is to have an open line of communication between the staff who works with the parents and children," Keller said.
Keller said that a good example is in the area of discipline.
It's important that the parents know what the daycare's standard

"It's very important to make sure that a child isn't punished unjustly," Keller said.

While most University of Kansas students concerned themselves with internships, jobs and classes this past summer, the Lawrence Police Department was busy fighting crime, but no more than in summers past.
Lawrence Police said that for the most part, the number of crimes committed in Lawrence last summer decreased.
Last summer, there were 35 aggra-
vated assaults, 32 motor vehicle
thefts, 11 armed robberies and three
arsons.
Wheeler said that toward the end of the summer a couple of peeping toms were reported. He advised students to lock and hang curtains over
their windows to deter would-be peepers.
Burglary topped the list of crimes committed in Lawrence last summer, and Lawrence police said they expected a further increase during the upcoming weeks as students return to the University.
Wheeler said that the best way students could take away the opportunity from burglaries was to keep the doors to their residences and cars locked while moving in.
"We're going to get a lot of burglaries, and it happens every year about this time. The thing about larceny and burglary is that they are crimes of opportunity." Wheeler said. "You can save yourself from becoming a victim by taking away the opportunity."
Last year, burglary was by far the most frequent crime committed at the University, surpassing the next most reported crime, drug violations. by 310.
According to the department of student housing, there were 924 burglaries at the University's Lawrence campus during the last three years. There were 348 burglaries last year, a 31 percent increase from the 1996 total of 266.
Kenneth Stoner, director of the department of student housing, said that he did not expect an increase in thefts from students rooms this year, but that the department of student housing had created two brochures that explain safety precautions students can take to avoid becoming victims.
A less frequent, but more serious crime that is a threat to students, is rape.
There have been 14 on-campus rapes reported to KU police in the last three years, half of which were reported last year.
In one of its brochures, the department of student housing outlines some precautions that students can take to avoid becoming victims of sexual assault.
Students should: walk in well-lighted areas, never walk alone or hitchhike, have their keys ready when they approach their car and drive on well-travelled roads, according to the brochure.
Stoner said the brochures were available at the Office of Student Housing in Corbin residence hall.
New Internet system allows personalized advertising
The Associated Press
Many individual Internet services have begun collecting information about who uses their sites and how they use them, the newspaper said.
NEW YORK — Information about the reading, shopping and entertainment habits of users of the World Wide Web soon will be used to target advertising to them — often without their knowledge. The New York Times reported yesterday.
Among the Web sites participating in the effort by CMG Information Services will be the
Lycos-Tripod site — visited by 14.8 million people last month — and the Geocities online community, which attracted 14.2 million visitors last month.
The system, called Engage, does not record the names, e-mail addresses or credit card numbers of the people it gathers information from. Instead, it keeps track of users by placing a special identification number on the hard drive of computer users.
The ads would then be fed to the Internet users as they browse sites. For example, a user who
looks up tourist information about England on a travel site in the network could be shown ads for hotels in London.
write proponents of the system say Engage will allow companies to send precisely directed advertisements to users, advocates of privacy rights are worried.
"Engage has done many good things to protect privacy, but my worry is they are firing the starting gun in the race for the bottom," said Jason Catlett, president of Junkbuster Corporation, a privacy consulting firm.

The employees of UnI computer were treated to a rude surprise when they found that their ridiculously low prices on both new and used computers represented a threat to their competition. With UnI's wide selection of both Macintosh and PC's as well as a top notch certified sales & service staff it's easy to see how a large computer conglomerate would feel threatened by UnI's professional staff and friendly service Charges were dropped soon after the arrest and UnI is again open for business buying, selling, and servicing all major brands. Asked if this incident would make them raise their prices, Charles Jones the owner said,"We don't need any stinkin high prices."

Professor's humor links literature, baseball in class
By Graham K. Johnson
Konson staff writer
Beverly Carothers treasures her son's reaction to the first day of class with his father. Jim Carothers.
Jim, a professor of English, said he had been reluctant to allow his college-age son to take his literature of baseball course in 1982, but eventually, he relented.
"He walked in the door, and his exact words were: 'Dad is really funny.'" she said.
Michael Carothers said he knew his dad had a sense of humor, but he first saw its fullest expression in that memorable classroom lecture.
Jim's whimsical teaching style and commanding knowledge of English literature have garnered him respect from within the University of Kansas community. He started teaching at the University in 1970 and was voted Outstanding Professor by the class of 1987. He also was a nominee for the H.O.P.E. teaching award in 1976 and 1977.
The Nutty Professor
Ruggy French remembers Jim from a fiction-writing class in the spring of 1974. In those days, streaking was popular on campus. She remembers Jim Carothers saying, "If streaking is going to be mandatory for the faculty, then I'm going to have to take some of this weight off."
Jim said he recognized the importance of making people laugh when he was in the first-grade in south St. Louis. The reaction of a stern principal amazed him.
Beverly Carothers says that her husband's ability to laugh at himself is one of the things that makes him such an engaging person.
"He told me to wiggle my ears for him," Jim said. "So I did, and he leaned over and said, 'How did you do that?' That reaction surprised me. He was intrigued by it as I was. That stuck with me that it wasn't always the wrong thing to do to make people laugh."
Beverly Carothers agrees. She has been married to Jim since 1963 and has traded anecdotes with him every day. She said his humor had been inspirational to her in many situations. When her mother and his father died, it was Jim's humor that often brought relief from the stress,
she said.
Jim said he thought that humor was important because it helped people get through difficult times. It is not merely a social or classroom tool, but a basic part of his identity.
"It's one of my habits," he said. "It's one of the structures of my life."
Not all fun and games
Although humor is significant, being an English professor is what drives Jim Carothers. Chris Lazeroman, managing editor for Kansas

Alumni magazine, said that people often miss Jim's serious side, which Lazzarino became aware of in his classes in the mid-1980s.
"I don't think most people were kept awake on the hot summer nights of adolescence dreaming about becoming an English professor."
F. L. Benson
"He kept an air of lightness in the room, but there was always a serious foundation underneath eve did." Lazarinos

underneath everything Carothers did. "Lazarrinosaid."
Faulkner has been the main theme of Jim's career, but an important subplot has been the literature of baseball.
That foundation has been his mission as a scholar and a teacher for 28 years, even if that was not his first career choice. He thought he would grow up to play right field for the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team, but that dream died in high school. It was after arriving at the University of Missouri in the early 1960s to train in sports journalism and become a baseball reporter that he discovered English literature.
In the 1970s, Jim proposed a class that would look at the best of the voluminous amount of literature about baseball. He was initially laughed at for suggesting that a popular culture game be formally studied in a university setting.
At the University, Jim took a class on Faulkner and Hemingway and realized he could spend the rest of his life reading and discussing great books. This was the basis for his doctorate in English from the University of Virginia.
"It came as a late discovery," he said. "I don't think most people were kept awake on the hot summer nights of adolescence dreaming about becoming an English professor."
Jim Carothers Professor of English
He has made William Faulkner's work the focus of his scholarly career. He has published a book about Faulkner's short stories and was a founding co-editor of the Faulkner Journal. He has focused on the more comic and optimistic side of
But Jim got the last laugh. The course eventually became one of the most popular English classes offered. Brady Prauser, a recent KU Law school graduate who took the class said: "It was as intense as anything I have had as an undergraduate or in law school."
Pete Casagrande, associate dean for the humanities in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and English professor, said Jim was a pioneer in challenging the prejudice against studying popular culture.
"Jim was ahead of his time," Casagrande said. "Jim's instinct in studying a popular sport was right on the money."
Jim also has challenged the prevailing academic culture, which holds comedy and humor to be less legitimate than drama and tragedy.
He has studied comedy, and in addition to his work on Faulkner's humor, he recently delivered a paper in Norway about the writing of humor 1st Dave Barry.
Jim takes umbrage at the charge that comedy is trivial. Humor provides people with a means to the basic human need for escape, he said.
"I am certain that this analysis of humor has helped me understand myself better," he said.
Jim is not content with just being a scholar. In an age of increasing specialization, Jim considers himself a Renaissance man. He said one of the reasons he liked being at the University was that he had been allowed to participate in a variety of activities.
Renaissance man
As an Honors Faculty Fellow, he advises honors students. He volunteers in the help room of the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center and has been the director of undergraduate services in the English department.
Outside of University work, Jim reads, plays fantasy-league baseball and participates in amateur acting. He said his activities were part of his life's philosophy of always trying to mix fun with whatever he is doing.
Because of his interest in political issues involving education, Jim served as a member of former Gov. John Carlin's education cabinet from 1983 to 1985. He also served as an associate dean for humanities in the college from 1986 to 1997 and oversaw a major curriculum overhaul.
Jim said that he got stressed and that he could no longer pull the all-nighters like he used to.
Beverly Carothers said that is just
who Jim is. He always would go overboard because of his "feast" approach to life, she said.
Jim's daughter, Cathleen Hull, said her father always seemed to manage his busy life without any problems. She said that though her family was always busy, she remembers them taking time out to go to baseball games.
"Jim loves to escape to the green, pastoral world of baseball," Beverly Carothers said.
Baseballs: The family that plays together
Jim said all sports — but particularly baseball—provide an important escape from the world and a place for rejuvenation. Baseball, he said, has been a lifelong passion.
"Baseball probably means everything to my dad," Michael Carothers said. The game also has brought the Carothers family together. Michael said that because he and his father
always found time to play baseball, he never felt neglected by his otherwise busy father.
Beverly remembers how Jim introduced baseball to her mother, Dorothy, who was dying of cancer. She remembers the day her mother got out of bed to watch the World Series.
"I was crying and thinking.'God bless Jim for giving mom the love of baseball," Beverly said.
Lasting Impressions
Perhaps more than his research, Jim's legacy may be his influence on people and impressions he has made.
Raymond Nichols, chancellor in 1972-73, knew Jim as a friend and neighbor, too.
"As far as I am concerned, Jim Carothers is a complete man," Nichols said. "He's the kind of person I like to have at KU. An excellent teacher, productive scholar and even an administrator. He's just everything."

Storytelling professor writes of travels, academia
Humorous tales define Joel Gold as a storyteller
By Duane Wagler
Kansan staff writer
For Joel J. Gold, writing and telling humorous stories is a matter of self-definition.
"Humor is an essential factor in the way I see everything," he savs.
Gold sees himself as a storyteller, which he said allows him to connect with others. His material comes from his life in academia and travel.
"I feel very comfortable looking at the world around me and seeing what is funny and thinking that if I get the words right, I can make other people see it that way, too," he savs.
Gold, a professor of English, is in the second year of a three-year phased retirement that has him teaching one class of narrative humor this fall. Yet Gold has not always relished the label of storyteller.
in the beginning of his book "The Wayward Professor," published in 1989, Gold recounts the time in the mid-1960s when he read a paper at a conference about 18th-century studies. His talk dealt with the radical politics of John Glynn, a defender of left-wing causes in George III's England.
"I had laid out the talk, as I usually do, to interest the audience — some facts about the man, followed by an account of events, sprinkled with courtroom dialogue from contemporary magazines and newspapers, and a verbatim account of a specific trial," he writes. "I wanted to show Glynn in action."
Then came the moment.
Gold continues:"A man in the third row stood up and
announced: 'The papers on the French Revolution and on the Dutch Republic were excellent, but I have something to say to Professor Gold.'
Gold braced for the worst.
"You know what you are?" the man asked, pausing dramatically.
Although he had no idea what the man was going to say next, Gold worried that his fledgling academic career might be in jeopardy.
Gold continues: "My assassin went on. 'You,' he said, 'are a storyeller.'
Gold first thought that the speaker had said that to belittle him, but he later found out that his colleague had loved the presentation.
Thirty years and many humorous essays and columns later, Gold points to the event as clarifying his role.
"It seems to me that was a moment when I said, "That's what I do—I tell stories." Gold says.
He has been telling stories ever since — in the classroom, articles in The Chronicle of Higher Education, columns in The Lawrence Journal-World, radio commentaries on Armed Forces Radio and in the English department office.
Don Warders, former professor of English, spent more than 30 years as Gold's colleague before retiring last year.
Warders says there is a remarkable consistency between Gold's written voice and his personality.
"The voice that I hear in his pieces — in his essays — is the voice I was familiar with every day around the office." Warders says.
Childhood acquaintances might not have characterized Gold that way. Growing up in Brooklyn, N.Y., Gold says he was quiet until he went to the University of Missouri to study journalism.
"I was very shy and retiring before I got out of high school," he says. "When I got out of college, there was a kind of transformation and step into the new world. I
began to see that I could make people laugh.
Gold honed his talent by editing Showme, a campus humor magazine, while at Missouri. He decided not to pursue a journalism degree and instead earned a degree in sociology with an emphasis in creative writing.
After graduation, Gold wrote ad copy at an advertising agency in Detroit for two years.
Gold says that this experience helped him realize the importance of conciseness.
"It was the only job I was offered," he says.
"It made me a better narrative writer," he savs.
Gold quit the advertising agency and sold pharmaceuticals for a year in Detroit. He then went to Indiana University and earned his doctorate in English in 1962 before teaching later the same year at the University of Kansas.
His scholarly work tended to be biographical and historical, further allowing the narrative bud to flower.
Travel also has encouraged his narrative voice to blossom. Combining research grants and sabbaticals, Gold has traveled and researched in Europe — mostly in London — for more than five of the past 25 years.
"He's probably our champion England-goer," says Richard Hardin, chairman of the English Department.
Travel tales provided about a third of the Wayward Professor." Gold's latest book, "Wayward Traveler in Britain,"—now waiting with a publisher—has about 25 stories of an American's perspective of life in Britain.
Whether he writes about haggling with British customs officers or adventures in navigating British roads, Gold concedes that he takes literary license in some of his stories.
"I usually say it's 87 to 92 percent
true, but I've sort of forgotten which is which," he says, grinning.
Creating a quote, after all, may enhance the story.
"In some of the things that I write, I take liberties with what people are saying." Gold says. "My assumption would be, 'If they didn't say that, they should have said that.'"
Gold generally feels more comfortable with gentle and prodding humor rather than satire.
"I've been accused of writing satire," he says, "I have denied that because satire is basically an attack."
But Gold's stories about academia can be more than poking fun. Gold says that a piece he especially enjoyed writing was about Cliff Hillegass, the man who produces Cliffs Notes.
One exception, Gold says, is an April Lawrence Journal - World column he wrote parodying the alumni newsletter of fictitious Parоль State.
"What struck me is myself, there as an English professor, talking to the man who had produced the thing that is the bane of all English professors — those yellow and black Cliffs Notes," he says.
"I'm taking a known form — the alumni newsletter — and turning it inside-out and making fun of it," he savs.
Gold says that the interview served as a catalyst for a better understanding of himself and Cliff Hillegass.
"It was not just the interview, but it was my own involvement in it, that I was connected with it," he says.
Perhaps Gold's involvement with his own work explains the link he makes with his readers and students.
Amanda DeVoy, Lawrence, has taken two of Gold's classes. She says that Gold uses humor to

enhance his lectures.
"His humor tends to make you see things in different perspectives," she says.
Gold likes the connection that a well-timed narrative in the classroom makes with students.
"I am aware that when I tell a relevant story about what I'm teaching, the students kind of sit up just a little bit more because we're engaged in something that appeals to them," he says.
Gold says he thinks that society in general is beginning to sit up
and take notice of storytelling in a new way as well.
"When you can get a Garrison Keillor and give him a two-hour program and have this go on for 13 to 14 years — stopped only because he gets tired of doing it for awhile — I think you're witnessing a rebirth," he says.
Joel J. Gold is doing his part in that rebirth — telling humorous stories, making connections.
"If I do it right, I'll have other people saying, 'Yes, that's what it's like,' Gold says.

University has staff moving in and around
By Melody Ard
Kansan staff writer
Several new University of Kansas employees were busy settling themselves into new offices and responsibilities this summer in preparation for the new academic year.
A few, including Wesley Jessup, assistant director at the Spencer Museum of Art, will be living in Kansas for the first time.
Jessup transferred to the University from the Guggenheim Museum in New York City.
"This museum appealed to me, and I was interested in gaining experience in a different part of the country with different collections," he said. "Td only been to Kansas in passing. So far, I have a very positive impression. There is a lot of potential at the museum, and I am
really excited to be associated with it and with the University environment."
Jessup said his primary responsibilities would include the financial aspects of the museum, such as fund-raising.
rine Writing Consulting Center also reorganized to be more accessible to students and faculty.
Michele Eodice, assistant director of the center, was hired to lead the student-resource section of the center. She moved to Kansas from State University of New York College at Buffalo, N.Y.
Eodice said her goal was to develop a writing center that would be available for students to get help with writing assignments.
"Our program is a brand new part of the writing-center program," she said. "We are finally the last of the
Big 12 universities to have a writing center for students. We have chosen a satellite mode to have several different places across campus where students can go and get help with their writing. Oct. 12 is D-Day, so to speak; that's when we will have five or six sites open for students to use."
Eodice said her plans included developing a training program where people could get certified for tutoring and updating the Web site to make it more interactive.
Other new employees from out of state are Lt. Col. Anthony J. Gasbarre, head of the Army ROTC, from Fort Briggs, N.C., and James Heintz, accounting and information-systems director for the school of business, from the University of Connecticut.
Staff members from several Uni
versity schools also accepted new positions within their departments.
Phil Smith now is the assistant to the dean of the School of Business and previously worked for the state of Kansas.
Mike Schwan moved from the Edwards Campus, formerly known as the Regents Center, to the Lawrence campus as an assistant dean of architecture and urban design.
Kenneth Audus, head of pharmaceutical chemistry, Daphne Johnston, assistant dean of graduate schools, Beverly Mack, part-time associate dean of International programs, and Barbara Ballard, assistant vice chancellor of student affairs, previously were employed by the University and accepted new positions at the University.
Student body president focuses on four campus issues
By Seth Jones
Kansan staff writer
Kevin Yoder just wants to be the best president he can.
This year's student body president, a fifth-year senior from Hutchinson, said he planned to lead by example and keep a positive attitude.
Yoder said he had been involved with Student Senate since his sophomore year. He also was president of his fraternity, president of the Prelaw Society and an orientation assistant. He said that it was all these jobs that made him want to one day be student body president.
"It is almost easier to stay organized now because I can balance everything right here from my office." he said.
Goals
Yoder said he had been working 20 to 30 hours a week out of his new Senate office in the Kansas Union all summer. He moved in May 1, and he said he had been so busy that he had not had time to finish decorating.
I really didn't know what to expect coming in, but it's been great so far," he said. "The administration

- Keep student fees from continuously rising.
- Improve campus safety with an expanded Saferide and a Safe walk program.
Improve the enrollment system.
really gives me a lot of respect. I hope things continue to go as well when the students get back."
Yoder said he had four main areas he hoped to tackle - improving parking, student fees, campus safety and the enrollment system.
"We don't want to propose to build a bunch of parking garages all over campus," Yoder said. "But with plans that we implemented, like the park-and-ride system, where students can park at the Lied center and ride the bus to campus, we're already seeing some of our plans come to fruition."
Yoder said he also hoped to expand Saferide and begin a Safewalk program.
"These are things that both sides campaigned on," he said. "I don't want safety to become a political issue, just an issue to benefit the students."
Yoder said he had some concerns for this year, including the thought of Senate becoming a house divided.
A. M. K. P.
"I hope that the two coalitions will throw away their coalition ties and come to the table and put the interest of the students first, rather than their own election interests," he said.
Pat Mazumdar, graduate senator,
said he thought that this year could
be a memorable one in Senate
"I hope to see several things accomplished, like a Safewalk program, a Robinson addition and a University-wide domestic partnership policy," Mazumdar said. "We know that Student Senate isn't going to change the world, but we can make some positive changes this year. But I'm sure it is going to take a lot of compromising between the two parties."
Yoder said he wanted Senate to reach out to the students even more this year.

"I want students to know that if they want to come talk to me about something, they can come to my office and I will be available to them," he said.
KU survey to address drinking
By Jason Pearco Kansan staff writer
In an attempt to curb the misuse of alcohol and drugs, University of Kansas officials want students to tell what they know about the subject in an upcoming survey.
One thousand students will be asked to complete an anonymous survey, detailing their alcohol and drug use, on the 20th day of this semester's classes — either in class or by mail.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway requested the survey, which will be distributed to a diverse sample group, in the spring during a chancellor's policy-group meeting.
"The purpose is to try to get some kind of a grasp of the scope and magnitude of alcohol and drug use of undergraduates," said Jeff Weinberg, assistant to the chancellor. "We need to have a better understanding of why students do and don't use the substances."
The survey asks questions involving underage and binge drinking, use and abuse of alcohol and drugs and the availability of fake identification, Weinberg said.
The results, which will be known later this fall, will serve as a starting point for the University to look at current alcohol policies and procedures, he said. Results also will be compared with average usage rates across the nation.
"The impact a university and its students have on a community like Lawrence is tremendous," he said. "Students interact with landlords, businesses, bars and community members."
This is not just an issue for the University, he said.
Earlier this summer, Hemenway helped to form a joint city-university task force on alcohol abuse. Other task force members include Haskell Indian Nations University President Robert Martin, Lawrence Mayor Marty

Kennedy, city commissioners and public school administrators.
"We felt it was appropriate that the city, KU, Haskell and the high schools form a task force to look into problems with alcohol use." Hemenway said. "The motive for doing so is we have an obligation to protect the health and safety of students and community members. And alcohol abuse can threaten that."
nemenway said that he was interested in discussing local drinking establishments that may have encouraged underage drinking and city ordinances that could be modified.
The task force will look at fake identifications, bar security, Alcohol Beverage Control and other precautionary measures. Results from the University survey will be used as a means to possible solutions.
University and high school students also will be asked to form student groups so students opinions will not be left out, Hemenway said.
Weinberg said April's alcohol-related death of Lisa Rosel, Overland Park freshman, was not the cause of the task force's initiation.
He said that the task force hoped to have recommendations by Dec. 15.
"This is a serious effort," Weinberg said. "If the students understand that the intent of the task force is to make the student body's time at KU a better experience, then maybe they will take the time to fill out the survey."

Medical students receive lab coats during ceremony
By Sue Franke Kansan staff writer
During a historic ceremony for the University of Kansas School of Medicine, 175 first-year medical students received their lab coats.
This first White Coat Ceremony, which took place Aug. 7 at Battenfeld Auditorium in Kansas City, Kan., launched the academic year for the School of Medicine's class of 2002. As on the Lawrence campus, Thursday marks the first day of class for medical students.
Michelle Yoon, Wichita first-year student, said she was looking forward to the clinical exposure she would receive early in the program.
"It didn't used to be that way," she said. "The emphasis was more on basic science."
Delivering the keynote address, Physicians for the 21st Century, Deborah E. Powell, physician and executive dean of the School of Medicine, said the ceremony denoted the students' entry into the medical profession, which she
described as one of teaching and learning.
"All physicians are teachers," she said. "Each of you brings a wealth of information and life experience to share."
She asked students whether physicians in the 21st Century would be hightech or high-touch, given the sophistication of patients and said that she hoped there would be a fusion of the two.
"Patients pull information off the Web and ask informed questions," she said. "They want to be partners in the decision-making process."
In addition to lab coats, the incoming medical students received a copy of On Doctoring, a collection of essays, poems and other works written by physicians. They also stood together in their white lab coats and recited an Oath of Commitment with Powell.
Tinka Wells, Los Angeles medical student, talked about what she would face in her first year.
"Trying to adjust to the load of information and the environment it's given in — we will be working closely with
patients — will be the best part but also the most challenging part," she said.
Dwayne Ollerich, associate dean of student affairs, shared an analogy that one graduate told him about the experience of attending medical school. The student said it was like climbing an intimidating mountain — but once you reach the pinnacle, the view from the top is great.
"I see this ceremony as a rite of passage for you," he said.
Luis Espinoza, Turon first-year student, said he liked the analogy.
"I know school is going to be tough, but it will be fulfilling," he said. "I'm ready to go. I have been preparing for this for a long time."
The size of the first-year medical student classes consistently has been 175 students, the maximum admitted, during the last three years, said Van Buckley, a University Relations representative from the Medical Center. The majority of students are from cities in Kansas, ranging from Olathe, Hutchinson and Garden City to Hays and Heston.

Med centers form partnership to increase interest in health care
Minority students focus on new math science, English programs at schools
By Sue Franke
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas Medical Center and the University of Missouri-Kansas City have reached across the state line to form a partnership to increase minority students' interest in health-care professions.
The two universities, with the help of Kansas City-area community partners, will develop programs in math, science and English for six Kansas City, Kan., and Kansas City, Mo., schools. A triad of one grade school, middle school and high school in each state have been selected to be partners with the University and UMKC.
The programs, which are geared toward kindergarten through 12th-grade classes, will give minority students an early start in preparing for professions in health care.
"The rationale for choosing the schools in the triad was that at least one of the schools is a science magnet school or has a health-profession club or focus," said Patricia Thomas, interim associate dean for minority affairs at the Med Center. "You have a greater chance of success if you identify children in kindergarten and give them a hand up all the way through school."
The programs will include mentoring, tutoring, visiting scientists, job shadowing, health fairs and computer-based learning.
"We'll have project packets that we will send to schools that will be tailored to grade levels and to what each school may or may not already have in place," Thomas said. "For example, high school students might have a shadowing program where they could come to the Medical Center, while kindergarten children might have a simple 'about the body' program."
In addition, she said, teachers would receive in-service training and a school coordinator would interact with the programs' project office. The project office would house an independent staff of three core members to make sure that the project lived beyond the grant, she said.
The $550,000 grant, awarded to the Med Center and UMKC in June by the Association of American Medical Colleges, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, will help finance the program. It would be dispersed in $70,000 increments during the next five years, according to Thomas. The grant is part of the Greater Kansas City Health Professions Partnership Initiative, which develops long-term strategies for increasing minority participation in medicine, nursing and other health professions. In addition, the Med Center, UMKC and Kansas City area philanthropists are providing $350,000 each in matching funds.
Reaner Shannon, assistant dean for minority affairs at UMKC, said that the project pulled together resources that previously were dangling and that the University and UMKC complemented each other.
"When we were first approached,we were apprehensive about how it would work," she said. "But it made sense. We could reach more people and be more effective."
The next step for the project is to form an executive committee and standing committees. The committees would be charged with overseeing the development of specific programs, Thomas said.
Although they are not part of the budget, scholarships will be developed for students who go through the program from kindergarten to 12th grade and make a commitment to practice medicine in Kansas or Missouri.
The elimination of affirmative action in states such as California, Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi had caused the rate of minority enrollment in medical schools to drop, Thomas said, making programs like this one even more important.
Johnson County movie house plans to draw KU crowd with promotion
Cut-rate ticket offers cheap concessions through Halloween
By Steph Brower
Kansan staff writer
It is safe to say that the way to a poor college student's heart is through his or her stomach. At least that is what the management at AMC Studio 30 Theatres is hoping.
The 30-screen cinema, at 12075 South Strang Line Road in Olathe, will try to reel in the student population in Lawrence this fall with a marketing campaign featuring an all-you-can-eat concession approach.
At 120,000 square feet, AMC 30 is the largest movie theater in the world, and business has been good since it opened last December, said managing director Steve Wood.
AMC is looking to expand their market and plans to do this with the "Mega Movie Deal" this fall.
The promotion offers a movie ticket and up to $20 in concessions for $5.75. AMC will start putting coupons for the promotion in newspapers this week and will continue through Oct. 31.
minute drive from Lawrence, some students say the promotion and the regular student rate of $3.75 is worth the drive. Stephanie Wood, Lawrence sophomore, said prices in Lawrence were the high.
Although the theater is a 30-
Wood said, "They don't have student prices."
Wood and Emily Puris, Lawrence freshman, also said they thought Overland Park was a better place to take a date.
Steve Wood said the complex, which includes several restaurants as well as the theater, was designed for that purpose.
"The whole center was designed with one concept in mind, and that was dinner and a movie," he said.
The theater has another purpose—to be AMC's guinea pig. Not only is it the company's largest theater, but it also has unique features such as an automated, self-serve ticket window and ATMs inside the building. If the new features are successful with moviego "The whole center was

ers, AMC will implement them in other parts of the nation.
AMC chose Olathe as the site for the theater partly because its headquarters is in Kansas City, Mo., and partly because of Johnson County.
"Johnson County is one of the fastest and richest-growing counties in the U.S." Wood said.
AMC is benefiting because of ticket and concession sales and special events such as birthday parties and conferences. Recently, the theater was host to the Olathe Chamber of Commerce and Sprint. Wood said they hoped to tap the college market by playing host to fraternity and sorority events.
The theater may be impressive with its size and design, but it is still a bit of a drive for a student population that can go to the movies in Lawrence.
"We can arrange almost anything they want to do," he said.
Josh Worthington, Overland Park junior, said he would go because it was cheaper than theaters in town.
"I'm not going to pay for all the nachos, but I'll pay $3.75," he said.

Students reach out through volunteer program
University group volunteers time services to area
By Pallavi Agarwal Kansan staff writer
Scott Hendrix, Lawrence graduate student, helped 30 other Center for Community Outreach volunteers cook 230 meals a day this summer for Lawrence school children from low-income families.
With more than 2,000 volunteers, 12 programs and two new upcoming programs, the Center of Community Outreach, 426 Kansas Union, calls itself "KU's Volunteer Headquarters."
Last academic year, the center was
the fourth-largest student organization on campus.
Julie Merz, Manchester, Mo., sophomore, spent last spring "totally immersed" in service at a homeless shelter in Washington, D.C.
Others served on boards of local government and nonprofit agencies, helped people with disabilities connect with college students or helped incoming freshman and transfer students feel at home at the University.
"The purpose of the organization is to recruit volunteers for various community projects or provide them with opportunities to participate in non-profit agencies," said Chris Hess, organization co-director.
Students felt a sense of accomplishment, developed contacts with off-campus organizations and tied classroom learning with some real-world experience, said Hendrix, who also is the coordinator for Students Tutoring for

Literacy, one of the more popular programs run by the organization to help impart functional literacy to community members.
Last year, Hendrix coordinated literacy programs in Lawrence elementary schools such as Small World and Evening Star, and taught kids at the Juvenile Detention Center.

Office: 426 Kansas Union, located in the Student Organization and Leadership Development Center
Other popular programs to which the group sends volunteers are Alternative Spring Break, during which students travel to cities across the country doing hands-on community work, and helping with Jubilee Cafe, a Lawrence food kitchen where homeless people can "eat with dignity, order from menus and be served by waiters and waitresses," Hess said.
Merz, who volunteered for Alternative Spring Break in Washington, said that 50 students worked with homeless people in seven cities across the nation.
"We lived in homeless shelters worked at food kitchens," she said
"Another highlight of the trip was that we got to meet Kansas Congress people at the Capitol."
This fall, the center planned to embark on two new programs in which students could help kids perform plays and help bridge the intergenerational gap between the young and the old. Hess said.
Although future plans abound at the center, funding from the University had been becoming stagnant, Hendrix said.
Hendrix and Hess said that the center received $6,500 from the University but said that at other schools similar organizations were better funded.
"Service learning is a national movement." Hendrix said. "It is not something we are trying to push at KU. The University should give more money for community service learning which helps make education real for students."
OAKS provides support to nontraditional students
First newsletter discusses taxes campus news
By Pallavi Agarwal Kansan staff writer
Smith, OAKS co-director.
Though many groups at the University of Kansas are geared toward the average college student, nontraditional students need not feel left out.
The Organization of Adult Knowledge Seekers is a service and social club, providing relevant information and networking opportunities to nontraditional students, said Cathleen
Nontraditional students are not just the older classmates with spouses and children.
The University recognizes all veterans, students who are least three years older than their peers and students who commute at least 10 miles from home or work as nontraditional, said Laura Morgan, assistant director of the Student Development Center and OAKS adviser.
That qualifies more than 4,000 undergraduates on campus as nontraditional. Their problems range from a feeling of isolation to making a long-distance call each time they call the University from home or work, Morgan said.
"They may not be coming to campus very often and so find it difficult to connect to University life..."
Laura Morgan OAKS adviser
"These people lead adult, multiple roles," she said. "They don't hang around on campus. They may not be coming to campus very often and so find it difficult to connect to University life or get access to information on campus in advance."
During the last academic year, OAKS had a membership of 400 and was the 12th-largest student
organization on campus among 391 organizations registered with the Student Organization and Leadership Development Center.
A large part of the group's activities is providing information to its members through newsletters and e-mail messages.
The first newsletter this semester contains information on campus parking, tax filing, scholarships, baby-sitting and child-care information, relevant campus telephone numbers, tutoring and information about campus services that could be of use to nontraditional students.
The newsletter, which is issued twice every semester, is
mailed to all nontraditional undergraduates enrolled on campus, Morgan said.
Group members try to meet during brown-bag lunches, picnics, orientation lunches and other group activities.
The turnout at several social activities has not been promising, however.
"It's nice to know that someone is out there," said Joanna Luft, Topeka sophomore.
"Every time we have a social event, very few people turn up," Luft said. "Our end-of-semester party at Dos Hombres last December was a success, but our picnic at the end of finals in May flopped. In a way, the low turnout is understandable as

several of our members have parenting responsibilities."
Group support services, such as cooperative baby-sitting, began during midterms and finals but did not work because no parents showed up, said LaShawna Harris, OAKS Single Parent Support Coordinator.
OAK3 members are working to make the group more cohesive and visible on campus.
"Several of our own members do not know each other, so we have prepared T-shirts and buttons," Smith said.

Volunteering worthwhile for Jayhawks
By Julie M. Sachs
Kansan staff writer
Summer is a time when many students work long hours and earn big paychecks. But for several University of Kansas students, their work was not rewarded with pay.
Working for free, however, was their choice.
As volunteers many students did not work a conventional job for a typical employer.
One student spent time designing condom packages for the Douglas County AIDS Project.
Darius Amani-Taleshi, graduate student from Tehran, has been volunteering for the Douglas County AIDS Project since last summer.
The condom packages he designed were distributed throughout local bars.
Amani-Taleshi made sure the condom jars at the bars always were full. He also helped with fund-raising and maintained the e-mail server at the Douglas County AIDS Project.
Although he was not paid, Amani-Taleshi said he enjoyed his job.
"It's pretty fun to have to use your own creativity for designs." he said.
Amani-Taleshi said that he recommended getting involved in volunteer opportunities and that it was a great way to get to know people.
Volunteering also helped some students prepare for their future careers.
"I plan to be with United Way as long as they will have me." Clark said.
Clark has been with the United Way for more than a year.
Her job with United Way involved working with junior and senior high school students who want to be active in community projects.
Clark said that working for free did not bother her.
"I love it. I mean I love it. It's great," Clark said. "It's really empowering to see something you can give a little energy to be so great."
Many students also gained experience for the future by working as interns over the summer.
While interning at the WJLA TV station, the ABC affiliate in Washington, D.C., Melissa Yeager, Overland Park junior, said that the experience she gained was priceless.
"The experience was so incredible. I don't think I could put a price tag on it," Yeager said.
Although she said the experience was valuable, it also was expensive.
The two week internship in which Yeager participated cost about $5,000.
This money paid for college credit Yeager earned through American University.
r eager said one of the most interesting experiences she had during her internship was answering the viewer phone lines.
"One guy called and told his whole life story and every disease he ever had." Yeager said. "But you get people who genuinely need help. It makes you feel so good when you can help people out."
Student waiters suffer emotional burnout
Constant demand wears servers thin
By Augustus Anthony Plazza
Kansas staff writer
Her arrival at the table always was proceeded by her smile.
cocered by her name.
The name tags said "Jessv."
Her hair pulled back in a pony tail, Jessy threw out a one liner to grab her customers attention. "Hi. What could I get for you today? I love your shirt."
"The more they laugh the better the tip," says Jessica Tebow, Courtland senior, and former waitress at Buffalo Bob's Smokehouse, 719 Massachusetts St.
For Jessy, making people happy was what her nights at Buffalo Bob's Smokehouse used to be about. But Jessy has burned on serving.
"I feel emotionally drained," said Tebow, who has worked as a waitress for eight years.
Many working students wait tables during their college years because of the flexible hours, as well as the advantage of getting paid every night. But students who work in the service industry are forced to deal with the emotional burden that comes from constantly making customers happy.
Jessy's problem is part of the wages of waiting tables called the "managed heart," according to Sandra Albrecht, a sociology professor who has done research about the emotional strain involved in the service industry. It is the term she uses to describe the emotional struggle that table servers encounter after working in the industry for a long time.
The "managed heart" is an emotional mechanism that uses the concept Albrecht calls "deep acting." Dead acting is when a person no longer pretends to like their customers but actually convinces themselves that they like and care about customers. They eventually reach burnout.
The original research for the "managed heart" was done by Aryle Horschild, who studied flight attendants behavior in dealing with customers during a period of time. The study showed
Albrecht said that Horschild's research could be used to explain the emotional strain that waitresses encounter.
that flight attendants used the managed heart mechanism to get through their job.
Tebow said she disagreed with the "managed heart" theory.
PETER HAWKSEN
Tebow said that it was wrong to say that table servers were not capable of controlling their emotions to survive.
"That is a very victim-based theory," she said. "The reason you get through it is because you need the money, and it pays the bills."
Amanda Dewoody, Lawrence junior, is a waitress at Paisano's Ristorante, 2112 W. 25th St. She said that the money was an important reason for her to continue working in the service industry.

"The only reason I do it is because it is the best way an uneducated person can make lots of money." Dewoody said.
Burnout has caused Tebow to revert to using a robotic attitude when waiting on her customers.
She said that she felt like her smile was connected to a remote-control button in her pocket.
"How are you doing? Push the button, smile. Can I get you anything else? Push the button, smile." "Tebow intoned."
The robo-server approach eventually causes table servers to lose contact with their emotions, Tebow said.
"The only way you become detached from your emotions is that it comes to a point where you use emotions for money and they seem cheap for you to use on a regular basis." Tebow said.
Jason Bishop, Lawrence resident and general manager of Paisano's Ristorante, said that the longer amount of time the table server worked in a restaurant, the easier it became.
Albrecht agreed.
"I think waitresses who stay in the field really do like it, and they figure out a way to really enjoy it." Albrecht said.
The people who manage restaurants have to hire people who can handle the stress involved in the service industry.
Fifi Paden, Lawrence resident and
owner of Fifi's, 925 Iowa St., has tried to hire people who have a knack for being friendly and charming.
"Customers who work all day want someone who is smiling, someone who will make them forget their problems." Paden said.
"Our motto is we never say no to anything," Bishop said. "If someone is rude, there is no option to give poor service."
Tebow compared the type of waitress that managers want to hire — someone who will smile, someone who will make them forget their problems — to another nighttime worker.
"You're as cheap as a whore because you don't feel anything for it. It's just different names," Tebow said. "A whore isn't sitting there thinking, 'Wow, what a good lay' and we're not sitting there thinking, 'Wow this person is a friend.'
"You're thinking 'smile now and they will throw dollars on the table later."
Paden did not agree that table servers sell their emotions in that way, instead she said that table servers sell only the service.
"They are paid to keep people happy," Paden said. "When they leave, we want them to have smiles on their faces."
Lied Center to begin season with free concert
Kansan staff writer
By Mariana Paiva
The Lied Center begins the 1988-99 season Friday with a free concert featuring Beauloeil, a nationally known Cajun band nominated for six Grammys.
The third-annual free concert will be held at 7 p.m. on the northeast lawn outside the Lied Center.
"It is important for me to begin the year with a free event where anyone who wants to attend can come," said Jacqueline Davis, Lied Center director.
She said Beausoleil's repertoire is joyful and moves people to dance. It includes original songs as well as cajun and creole classics, blues, South Louisiana wamp-pop, New Orleans jazz and Afro-Caribbean pieces.
Davis said that people were welcome to bring chairs and blankets to the concert and that they could have a picnic. Also, KU concessions will be available with refreshments and snacks.
Lawn space near the stage will be reserved for people who want to dance.
"Cajun music is very contagious, and people become happier when they listen to it," Davis said. "Also, the good thing about this event is people can come and leave whenever they want."
Before the two-hour concert, an information fair about other University and community art organizations will precede the performance at 6 p.m. in the center courtyard.
"The information fair is a neat opportunity for one to stop and find out how rich the Lawrence art community is," said Karen Christilles, the center director of public relations.
During the information fair, organizations will give away free tickets, t-shirts and art. The center also will offer free face painting and balloons for children.
In addition to information about other
organizations. Christilles said that there would be information about Lied Center activities.
"There will be broaches about future performances, job opportunities at the center, and students can learn how to become a member of our usher corps," Christilles said. "It is an opportunity for a student who loves arts to see the events for free."
In case of rain, the concert and information fair will be held inside the center.
For more information about the free concert contact the Lied Center box office at (785) 864-ARTS, or visit the web site at www.ukans.edu/~lied.

Low-budget acting troupe makes debut at Java Break
CORREA BENITO
Trevor Ruder, Lawrence senior, grabs Chandra Dickson, Lawrence resident, as she holds a gun. Ruder played Ned and Dickson played Martha in the play *Restitution*, written by Joseph Griffin, Ottawa sophomore. *Restitution* was one of four one-act plays that were performed by the new acting group EMU at The Java Break, 17 E. Seventh St., last week. Because of the success of the performances, EMU will be presenting an encore performance tomorrow at 8 p.m. at The Java Break. Photo by Augustus Anthony Pinney / KANSAN

Kansas staff writer
A new acting group composed of students and local thesians performed their first shows Thursday at The Java Break, 17 E. Seventh St.
The group, ExtraCommunicative Minstrels Union, performs original scripts by local writers. It was started two months ago by Nate Cadman, a Lawrence resident, and Andy Stowers, Lawrence senior.
Cadman and Stowers asked Derek Logan, owner of The Java Break, about letting them use a back room for their performances.
"When I originally opened the Java Break, I wanted to have acoustic bands, poetry readings and plays," Logan said. "There are so many creative people in town that I was hoping to spotlight the talent."
EMU is made up of 20 people who range in age from 17 to 35. The organizers hope that the number of people in the group will increase.
They have put up flyers advertising for both local actors and screenwriters.
"This is a new opportunity for drama students, but also more importantly, this is an opportunity for students who aren't theater majors who have never done it before," said Melissa Shimkovitz, Chicago junior.
Everyone in the group is an actor. Shimkovitz acted in one show, Inheriting Pickle and another called Blind Sourels.
EMU started with no money and spent less than $100 on the four one-act plays they performed last weekend. The group received most of its set equipment and props from the Lawrence Community Theater.
Cast members, directors and set crews worked together each night to build and take apart the set. The sets had to be dismantled after each practice and performance because the coffee shop needed to
use the area for its customers.
Logan said that the performances added unimessness to the coffee shop.
Katie Angermeier, Lawrence freshman, attended the opening-night performance Thursday. She said that The Java Break created a cozier environment and that she hoped to see more performances by EMU. Logan also said he wanted to provide a place for future shows.
Although EMU would like to continue at The Java Break, the troupe hopes to be act in larger venues such as The
Lawrence Community Theater or Liberty Hall.
shimkovitz said. It's now things go.
Kay Kuhmann, who is directing a play for the Lawrence Community Theater, said she was glad to see the kind of performances pursued by EMU.
"I'm sure it has an opportunity to grow," Kuhlmann said. "Sometimes the charm of that kind of thing or some of the interest level is because of the rather unorthodox performance and small space."
Michael Myers, slicer and dicer extra-dairy, has aged well in the 20 years since he first began stalking horny teen-agers in Halloween from 1978.
By Jeromy M. Dohorty
Kansan movie critic
In part seven of the series, *Halloween: H2O*, people continue to go after him with axes, knives and the occasional toss off a balcony, but Mikey keeps on trucking. Clearly, the guy has been taking his vitamins.
Too bad for him that the Halloween franchise ran out of pep ever since its creator, John Carpenter, decided to steer clear of each subsequent installment. Although not as dumb as one would expect, H2O provides more on the order of self-parodying chuckles instead of pants-wetting horror.
Of course, this raises questions about the movie's intended audience. Horror fans want gore, not irony, and folks in search of satire can probably do without the bloodletting. As a result, H2O veers wildly and never finds its own tempo.
For the first time since Halloween II, Jamie Lee Curtis returns to the series as Michael's sister, Laurie Strode. Following her bout with her homicidal sibling in 1978, Laurie faked her own death and relocated to California.
Halloween H20
Kansan rating: **1/2 out of *****
Running time: 85 minutes
Rated R for gore and naughty language
Laurie, now living under the name Keri Tate, is the headmistress of a posh boarding school and a struggling alcoholic. Nightmares about Michael Myers' bloody rampage continue to haunt her, and she's taken to pill popping to alleviate the stress.
But Oct. 31, 1998 approaches, and Laurie fears a repeat of Michael's savagery.
Michael himself, played by Chris Durand, remains an eerie presence behind the white William Shatner mask. Deliberate, careful and forever silent, he's still the ultimate bogeyman.
Curtis has become a much better actress in the two decades since her debut in the original Halloween, and she's able to give more than a few scenes extra momentum.
Fragments of John Carpenter's familiar music punctuates a few scattered scenes of carnage, but this isn't really a movie about violence. It's about confronting old ghosts and carrying on with life, and it provides a decent exit for a series that has gone on far too long.
No dice for Return to Paradise
By Jeromy M. Doherty
Kansan movie critic
*Return to Paradise* is one of those movies so cocksure of its own self-worth that it cannot stop reminding us of it at every available opportunity.
It cannot be blamed for not putting up a good effort, though. Its story, about an American sentenced to die in a foreign prison for a drug charge, consistently promises to deliver the goods.
It's basic premise also is lifted directly from the classic nail-biter *Midnight Express*, a prison drama that won Oliver Stone the 1979 Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay.
But that movie contained complex characters and a plot that nearly overwhelmed the viewer with its no-frills portrait of prison life. Return to *Paradise* is pure Hollywood babulum, complete with phony emotions, a few sex scenes and a courtroom showdown.
Vince Vaughn stars as a limo driver who is faced with a choice. A buddy of his (Joaquin Phoenix) is stewing in a Malaysian jail after the cops found him in possession of more than 100 grams of hash — some of which Vaughn had helped purchase. Phoenix's

lawyer (Anne Heche) says that if Vaughn agrees to surrender to the Malaysian government, her client's life may be spared.
Director Joseph Ruben attempts to shock us with the horrors of the Malaysian legal system, but the scenes lack spark. It is as though he picked up a film-school textbook about political dramas and followed it step by step.
In the end, Return to Paradise does not strike a chord as either an anti-drug film or as a creed against Third World politics. Instead, Ruben settles for the favored Hollywood pastime of media-bashing. His villain turns out to be a scavenging tabled journalist (Jada Pinkett) who is itching to expose Phoenix's ordeal.
'Abide the Dawn' reflects Quantrill's historic raid
But her motivations are so poorly understood that, like the rest of Return to Paradise, it makes nary an impression on any clear-thinking mind.
Kansan Staff Writer

Kansas Stiff Writer
The play focuses on the events and survivors of Quantrill's early morning raid of Lawrence on August 21, 1863.
One of the bloodiest events in Lawrence history will be remembered during the Lawrence Community Theater's production of "Abide the Dawn" which commemorates the 135th anniversary of Quantrill's raid.
"I'm interested in history, and I write specific historical plays for a living," said Kay Kuhimann, the play's writer and director.
The performances will be begin at 7:30 a.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday in the Lawrence Community Theater, 1501 New Hampshire, where audience members will board two 30-foot trans connected to a tractor. The trams will stop at six different locations along the way.
The Friday performance will take place at the same time the actual raid took place —135 years to the day.

The victims were reburied at the Oak Hill Cemetery in 1865 after they had been removed from the original mass graves on campus, where Daisy Hill is today.
Kuhmann said that the mass graves on Daisy Hill were not the only connection the University had with the raid. Mount Oread also was used as a lookout for Quantrill's raiders.
The performers of the play will face some problems because of the outdoor venue.
The actors will have to project their voices more for the audience to hear them.
"The audience has to work at it," Kuhlmann said. "They have to keep their ears open."
The play's characters are both real and fictional. "Some of the characters are recognizable names from the history of Lawrence," Kuhlmann said. "Others are composite-type characters."

State health officials are concerned about the level of contaminants in the Kansas River fish but that has not stopped local fisherman from..
Taking the Bait
By Dan Curry Special to the Kansan
Two dark folds of beef liver dangle from the hook as Corky Williams cocks his 17-foot, black and yellow striped fishing rod and casts. The blue line sails out over the turgid Kansas River, landing with a plop amid chunks of driftwood, spume and Styrofoam cups that float in the eddies of the Bowersock Dam. Just north of downtown Lawrence.
A sign stands at the top of the levee behind Williams. In square yellow lettering it reads：“Regular Consumption of Bottom Feeding Fish from This Area May Present Long-Term Health Problems.”
Williams is one of many fishermen who religiously fish for Kansas River catfish near the Massachusetts Street bridge, despite the warning against eating these hefty bottom-feeders.
Williams stands ankle-deep in the river, methodically reeling in his line. His jeans are soaked to the knees. He wears a red baseball cap to shade his face from the sun.
Beside him, his tackle box lies open on the bleached skeleton of a stranded tree. In tiny compartments lie little and big hooks, spools of blue line, pliers, sinkers, rubber worms, lures, a jackknife and a parcel of beef liver.
"Beef liver's good because it stays on," he said as he teased the nodding rod.
Not too far away, a carp he just caught swims in tight circles inside a white. four-gallon bucket.
Today, Williams is going for anything that is biting, but the prize of the river is the catfish, he said.
"Ifished this river all my life," he said. "I've seen a lot of big ones caught out here."
williams said his biggest catch was a 45-pound flathead catfish. He has caught smaller catfish with worms, chicken hearts, minnows and even hot dogs.
Williams said he gives away the fish more often than he eats them, but when he does decide to eat them. he likes the fish cooked in cornmeal.
The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department put the sign up in 1993 after the Kansas Department of Health and Environment detected chlordane in the tissues of the catfish. They issued a report recommending that a warning be posted, said Richard Ziesenis, the county director of environmental health. The warning applies to the stretch of the river between Eudora and the downstream side of the Bowersock Dam.
Steve Cringan, an environmental scientist at the state health department, said chlordane is a carcinogenic compound that was used as a pesticide until the Environmental Protection Agency banned it in 1988. The chemical gets into the river and settles in the river bottom where catfish ingest it. The chlordane builds up in the fishes' fatty tissues, where it can reach concentrations tens of thousands times greater than what is in the water, Cringan said.
Cringan said that smaller amounts of mercury and DDT were in the fish tissue, but that the herbicide
atrazine, a primary pollutant of the river, was not.
Many fisherman fish the river only for sport. Three types of catfish - channel, blue and flathead - populate the river, said Richard Sanders, a fishing biologist at the Department of Wildlife & Parks.
He said a record-sized channel catfish that weighed 35 pounds was caught below the Bowersock Dam, and blue and flathead catfish weighing more than 80 pounds also have been caught in the Kansas River. Blues and flatheads can reach weights of more than 100 pounds, he said.
John Trager, a University of Kansas graduate who said he caught the largest catfish ever in Potter Lake in 1992, sports a bushy beard and a blue bandanna tied around his forehead. He stood on the levee and scouted the river before he chose where to fish while Reba, his black terrier-Labrador mix, waited near his side.
"Flatheads, they're the ultimate," he said.
He calls the thrill of catching one of these fish "The Old Man and the Sea syndrome," referring to the Ernest Hemingway novel.
"You're trying to catch the biggest one out there, and you end up loving it," he said.
Trager loves to talk about fishing and plans to start a fishing-adventure company. He took out photos from his wallet. Each shows him using both hands to hold up a catfish by its platter-sized mouth. The bodies of the fish are longer and wider than Trager's torso. They glow milky white from the flash of the camera, their long, thick whiskers glistening with water. Many photos show the levee or the Bowersock Dam in the background.
Trager said a fisherman can fight a catfish for 90 minutes before netting it. The challenge of fishing is battling with the catfish as it maneuvers in an underwater obstacle course of logs and rocks, he said.
"The older fish know lots of tricks." he said.
Another photo shows a 73-pounder, the largest Trager has ever caught. He let the fish go, he said. He calls this practice "selective harvesting," in which only the most plentiful fish are kept and the rest are returned to the river. That way other people can catch the big ones too, he said.
Trager doesn't eat fish, and he's glad the health department put the sign up. He said that other people, however, have eaten them without harm. He gestured toward two fishermen carrying their nets and poles on their shoulders as they wound their way down to the river.
"They took home a couple of flatheads and chowed them." Williams said.
Down at the river's edge, Tyrone Frank knelt on a concrete bulwark of the dam. The evening shadow of the bridge fell across him as he packed away his tackle. Although he failed to catch any fish, Frank said he would have just thrown them back in the river anyway.
"I wouldn't eat two ounces of it." he said. He pointed toward the river below him where the water
sfudge-colored.
"This is toxic." he said.
William Chaney, who has fished the river for 10 years, isn't so sure.
"Sometimes it's clear," he said. "Sometimes it's dirty."
He woke up at 4:30 a.m. in Kansas City so that he could be ready to fish by 6 a.m.
Chaney said he didn't often eat the fish, but when he does, he enjoys them fried, grilled, baked or breaded. Usually he gives them away to older people, he said.
Chaney doesn't believe the warning.
"Politicians and bureaucracy pass these laws," he said.
Chaney said he has never known anyone to become sick from setting the fish
Cringan said that he has fished the river and that he didn't think there was any great harm in eating some of the fish once in a while. He says his department recommended the sign to inform people of the potential hazards of eating the fish.
"We issue advisories based on pretty low risk factors," he said. "Some people are worried about any level of contamination. We find the major contamination occurs downstream, 10 miles from cities. Fish upstream were much less contaminated than fish
downstream."
Cringan also said that the recommendations were based on a 70-year model of continual exposure to the fish.
"They are kind of a worst-case scenario," he said.
"Over the last ten years, we've seen some substantial declines," he said.
Until then, Cringan said there was a greater chance for fishermen to be struck by lightning than to die from eating the fish in the river.

The state Health Department recommends that people limit their consumption of bottom-feed
ing fish to one 5 ounce serving a month. It came to
month. It says to trim the fat off the fish and avoid frying it. This will remove many of the chemicals that are concentrated in the fat. Smaller fish are safer to eat because they are younger and have
less exposure to the contaminants. More
information can be obtained by calling the county health department at 843-6721.

Students' summer trips learning experiences
Terrorism, soccer mix with studies
By Mariana Paiva
Kansan staff writer
For some University of Kansas students, a summer abroad meant a bomb threat in a Scotland subway, the aftermath of the Bolivian earthquake and a tour of pyramids, mines and mummies in Mexico.
Brian Wanamaker, Topeka junior, studied at The London School of Economics with six other students from the University. Some of them spent a weekend in Scotland, where they had a thrilling moment.
Wanamaker said that as they waited for a friend in the subway, a police officer started to push them away and evacuated the area. They did not get any explanation from the police, but a friend later told them that bombs were found in a subway phone booth and in four different places in the country.
"Even though there was a bomb threat at the same stop where we were supposed to meet, at the same time we were supposed to meet, we did have a great time," Wanamaker said.
The World Cup also brought excitement to Wanamaker's stay in England.
C. D. M. M.
"I've always played soccer, but I just understood the magnitude of this game when I was there," Wanamaker said. "Even when England lost to Argentina, people kept meeting in the dorm bar to watch the games. They took it really serious, and they go wild about it."
Will Holliday, a Lawrence graduate student who spent his summer doing research in Cochabamba, Bolivia, was a bit shaken by an

earthquake aftershock
"I got in Bolivia after the earthquake that had affected an area close to Cochabamba, but one day when I was doing my research in the archives, I felt a fairly small shock," Holliday said. "It was disconcerting for me, who was experiencing that for the first time."
In Guadalajara, Mexico, students enhanced their Spanish skills and learned about Mexican culture.
1980
"The best thing about the program was that we studied it, read poems in class and then got to see it," said Chris Hund, Topeka senior. "We were standing in pyramids that were built 2,000 years ago."
Hund also traveled to Guana-jauto, Mexico, where he visited old gold mines and saw mummies.
"The mummies weren't wrapped as the ones in Egypt," Hund said.
"You see the bodies from people that had lived 400 years ago. It is really grotesque, but you have to see it once in your lifetime."
Mar Freire, Galicia, Spain, graduate student, was a teacher in the Guadalajara program. She said that even though the program lasted only two months, students could learn more Spanish and more about Mexican culture than they would in a semester at the
University.
"It was an amazing experience, and I recommend, to any student or teacher interested, to participate," Freire said. "People in Mexico treat you really well, and it is easy to make friends. It is just like a family."

Students and law enforcement say it's getting easier to find HEROIN
By Benjamin LeClair Special to the Kansan
Mark Jones could buy heroin in Lawrence within 30 minutes.
He said it would be more difficult to purchase high-grade marijuana in Lawrence than to score low-grade heroin.
Jones, a former sophomore at the university of Kansas who now is enrolled at Johnson County Community College, lost a friend to heroin and has two more friends who are in prison for heroin-related crimes.
"Don't get me wrong," Jones said, "You can get some of the best pot in the Midwest in Lawrence, but on an average Wednesday afternoon, it's much easier to pick up some junk."
Junk, smack, H, brown, dope — good junk. They're all pseudonyms for heroin, but smuck is most commonly used, Jones said. After a late-winter heroin bust that nabbed three University students, it's clear to students and police that heroin is a part of the Lawrence drug scene.
Jones said that he never had used heroin, but that it was a common sight in Lawrence. "You can get just about anything in
"You can get just about anything in Lawrence if you want it." Jones said.
On the morning of March 21, Jones' friend, Aaron Lenihan, 20, was found dead in his Overland Park bedroom — the victim of an heroin overdose.
Jones said that Lenihan had used a significant amount. Friends told Jones that Lenihan was not dead that night but woke up in the morning to finish off a batch of heroin.
"Aaron went back to bed and never woke up." Jones said.
Local law enforcement verifies Jones' claims about the availability of drugs in Lawrence.
An undercover officer from the Tri-County Drug Enforcement Unit said that most drugs, including heroin, could be found in Lawrence. He said regional trends generally reflected national trends.
"We're usually two to three years behind each coast," he said. "As a result we're starting to see more (heroin) in the area. It is here in the community."
Wally Mechler, director of substance-abuse treatment with the Heartland Clinical Consultants, works with former and current heroin users. He said there has been an increase in heroin use throughout the country.
"We are starting to see a rise in Lawrence because we're seeing a rise in arrests," Mechler said.
Neither Lawrence police nor the Kansas Bureau of Investigation could confirm a rise in heroin-related arrests. The February arrests of five Lawrence residents, however, including the three KU students, made Lawrence's heroin problem hit home.
Despite the arrests, Lawrence Police Narcotics Officer, Damon Thomas said he had not noticed a significant increase in Lawrence heroin incidents. Thomas said there had been a national increase in heroin trafficking.
he said the increased supply of heroin in United States may be related to newly structured heroin operations by the Colombian drug cartels. He said the cartels traditionally had orchestrated the trafficking of cocaine.
Thomas said manufacturing heroin consisted of a three-stage process in which opium is transformed to morphine and then to heroin. He said new poppy fields had been cultivated throughout Colombia.
Thomas said that black-tar heroin, a low-grade, less-pure form of heroin with a black vinegar-like texture, was seen nationally and in Kansas City, Mo., more often.
"Black-tar heroine is more prevalent," Thomas said. "It's easier to make and easier to find."
He said that manufacturing heroin in Lawrence might be possible, but highly unlikely. He said obtaining pure opium would be very difficult.
The undercover officer said the majority of the heroin confiscated in Lawrence had been black-tar heroin.
Regardless of what type of heroin is used, the drug has serious side effects that often are lethal
Susie Spotted Horse, a drug and alcohol counselor, said people usually overdose on heroin because of the way it's made.
"On the street, different types of chemicals are being used to make it," Spotted Horse said. Spotted Horse also attributed widely spaced frequency of use as a cause of overdosing.
"If a user has cut down
on their use
and then
uses a lot
at one
time, that
could
result
in an
over-
dose,"
she said.

City's medical pot providers shielded
The Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. - Workers at the Oakland Cannabis Buyers' Cooperative are now city agents, a title designed to shield them from federal prosecution as they distribute medical marijuana.
The workers will enjoy extra protection with the new designation, a club lawyer said. The title became official Thursday in a ceremony at which supporters proclaimed it a trailblazing move.
"This is a historic day for medical patients' rights across California," said Jeff Jones, executive director of the co-op.
Oakland is believed to be the first city to have an official medical marijuana distribution program.
"We're out on the frontier," City Councilman Nate Miley told reporters at City Hall.
"Today, Oakland has shown the way," said Gerald Uelman, a lawyer working with the club. "I think this is an example that will be widely emulated in California." Uelman served as a member
of the O.J. Simpson defense team.
Federal prosecutors are moving to shut down the Oakland club, along with several others that sprang up after California voters approved Proposition 215 in 1996.
Under the law, people whose suffering from cancer treatments, AIDS, glaucoma and other medical conditions might be helped by marijuana were allowed legally to obtain marijuana with a doctor's recommendation.
But the federal government considers medical marijuana illegal and has prosecuted its use in California.
Robert Raich, an attorney for the club, said designating its staff as city agents will protect them under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970, which gives immunity from federal and criminal liability to agents enforcing an ordinance relating to controlled substances.
A call to the U.S. Attorney's office in San Francisco was referred to a spokesman in Washington, D.C., who did not return a telephone call.
New show to start on Comedy Central
NEW YORK — Pornography is passe, according to the Upright Citizens Brigade. So this four-member comedy troupe has proposed an alternative; food torture videos.
The Associated Press
The premise: People who are bored with X-rated films will watch as a piece of bologna is repeatedly snatched away from a yellow Labrador retriever, just as the dog lunes for it.
What is the Upright Citizens Brigade? It's a self-described underground organization. Its mission is to undermine the status quo through the proliferation of chaos.
The sketch-based TV show of the same name is slated for Wednesday nights on Comedy Central, right after the ratings-rich South Park. In trying to define the group's brand of comedy, UCB member Matt Walsh, 33, said, "It's like when The Marx Brothers would go into rich society and create havoc."
"When things are too controlled, too ordered, they need to be stirred up," said Walsh, who plays agent Trotter, along with Amy Poehler (Colby), Ian Roberts (Antoine) and Matt Besser (Adair).
The shows consist of seemingly unrelated characters and incidents that manage to weave themselves
"I hope the audience will feel complimented that we didn't underestimate their intelligence."
Amy Poehler
UCB star
together.
Clad in charcoal-gray uniforms, the UCB purports to monitor the world from the Inner Sanctum, a bat cave like bunker adorned with television screens, maps of the world and color posters.
The first episode zeroes in on a married couple whose new house has a "hot chicks" room, complete with pulsating music and flashing lights. Only males can enter. The wife is locked out. And so is the viewing audience.
Later on, the UCB determines that Bong Boy (Besser), a long-haired, pot-smoking 1970s throwback, has been mysteriously present at scenes of carnage and natural disasters around the world.
Besser also plays The Unabomber, a personification of the infamous drawing that appeared in newspapers before Ted
Kaczynski's capture. Wearing sunglasses and a hooded sweatshirt, this boisterously effeminate Unabomber scoffs at the notion of ever having lived in disco-deprived Montana.
By the show's end, these and other characters meet. They get a traumatizing look into the Bucket of Truth, a centerpiece of the married couple's new living room.
"I hope they'll like how different the show is," said Poehler, 26, a blonde who wears a blue-streaked black wig to become agent Colby. "I hope the audience will feel complimented that we didn't underestimate their intelligence."
In a nod to the show's budget, the Inner Sanctum is actually a deteriorating warehouse tucked into a section of Brooklyn's waterfront. Sketches are filmed on the street, in church basements or other inexpensive locations around the city. After all, this is a start-up show without a guaranteed second season.
"It's what keeps me up every night sweating at 4 a.m.," said Eileen Katz, Comedy Central's senior vice president of programming, referring to the uncertainty surrounding any new show. She insisted that the cable network has not set a ratings or time limit for the UCB to find its audience. However, she added, "I
hope everything in it is as controversial as *Souk Park.*"
Before signing with Comedy Central, the troupe fomented a certain amount of chaos through its improvisational act, which began in Chicago in 1990. Posing as a political action committee called the Upright Citizens Brigade, the troupe's members would take advantage of open-mike nights at comedy clubs to rant about various causes. One Chicago show got so unurly that performers and audience members spilled onto the street. Police were called, arrests made.
In 1996, the UCB moved to New York, where its Sunday night improv-shows are free to the first 75 cognoscienti who wait in line for hours. Many more are turned away from the Solo Arts Group, a claustrophobic performance space without air conditioning in Manhattan's Chelsea section. There, the UCB has sown the seeds for some of the material that will turn up on Comedy Central.
For instance, in an episode, Roberts, 33, leads an ugly person's support group that includes a couple whose relationship is marred by a name-calling incident. Besser, 30, and Poehler play the eugenic-challenged pair. That show's sketches tie together in a larger theme: disrupting happy couples.
Red habanero pepper could put Study: Employees enjoy dirty work the burn on all kinds of pests The Associated Press researcher Blake Ashford who
The Associated Press
SOCORRO, N.M. — Instead of poison or traps, researchers are trying another weapon to stop pesty pests — the world's hottest chili pepper.
A repellent developed by the New Mexico Tech Research Foundation in Socorro has tapped the power of the ripe, red habanero pepper, which is 60 times hotter than its fiery cousin, the jalapeno, and 10 times hotter than cayenne.
The spicy ingredient is being mixed into caulks, paints, glues and rubber-coating materials, and any creature — mammal or mol-
lusk — unfortunate enough to take a nibble will get a sizzling surprise.
While the idea sounds like something that Wile E. Coyote might have tried on the Road Runner, tests show real roadrunners have already avoided pecking fence posts treated with the peppery material. Rats have also shunned cables coated in the substance.
"That would be really great if it works," said Lt. Chris Boes at the Coast Guard headquarters in Washington, D.C.
A corral post treated with the repellent kept pests at bay for five years, said Dwarven Van De Graaff, president of MEDD4, a Santa Fe company that plans to market the repellent.
Zebra mussels, the meddlesome mollusks that have invaded water intake pipes and displaced native species in the Great Lakes and Mississippi and Ohio rivers, may be next on the hit list. The Aquatic Research Institute at East Chicago, Ind., is testing the repellent in a mussel-infested Lake Michigan harbor.
Mussel repellents currently use chlorine, ultraviolet light, sound vibrations and electric currents. If the chili repellent passes EPA and other testing,"it's going to be a real hot item," Boes said.
SAN DIEGO — It's a dirty job, but somebody's got to do it, and Fred Dean figures it might as well be him. Dean's job is scraping dead animals off San Diego's streets.
"It gives me peace of mind. I'm making an honest dollar and putting food on the table and a roof over my head. And I know my job's not going anywhere," he says. "There's always going to be a need for somebody like me."
In fact, people like Dean — garbage collectors, hospital orderlies, bail bondsmen, strippers and others who work in jobs most folks find either physically, socially or morally tainted — aren't particularly bothered by the stigma, said
researcher Blake Ashford, who presented a study titled "How Can You Do It? Dirty Work and the Dilemma of Identity" at the Academy of Management's annual meeting last week in San Diego.
At the conference of scholars who primarily study Fortune 500 corporations and their managers, Ashford and a few colleagues devoted a session to stigmatized jobs and the attitudes of those who perform them.
"They find merit in their work and take pride in doing a good job or providing a service, and to heck with everyone else," said Ashford, who conducted his study with Glen Kreiner, a fellow business professor at Arizona State University.
Dean, for example, can tell you there is a right way and a wrong
"You have to be careful when handling a black and white. That's what we call skunks," Dean says. "As long as you don't break that pouch, you're OK. If you do, you can smell the truck coming miles away."
The dead-animal removal officer said his job may not be pretty, but it beat being on a street corner begging for money or doing something illegal.
Kreiner said those who worked in stigmatized professions often formed an "us vs. them" mentality.
Workers with dirty jobs also tend to marry people in the same line of work or pass the profession to their children, Ashford said.

Despite 'evil' childhood, Anne Heche enjoying life
The Associated Press
MARINADEL REY, Calif. — Barefoot and wearing a black summer dress, Anne Heche resembles a pixie with her big blue eyes and wispy blonde hair.
The actress reflected on a life that seems much longer than its 29 years.
"I'm proud of every single movie that has gotten me here, but I am also proud of the journey that I have taken personally in order to be who I am now." Hee said.
Her Hollywood career has blossomed with recent roles opposite Robert De Niro in the political satire Wag the Dog and in the adventure-romance Six Days Seven Nights with Harrison Ford. Her latest movie is the drama Return to Paradise, with Vince Vauhn.
Heche's success on the big screen seems idyllic, but getting there has been tough.
She said that her childhood was "evil" and that she only recently discovered solace — something she attributes to finding joy in her work, being honest and falling in love.
"When I was 12, I was like an old woman," said Heche, who left home at age 17 and began therapy a year later. "Now, I'm getting younger. I went through eight years of trying to be at peace with who I was and what had happened to me as a child."
the actress jolted the entertainment industry last year when she began a much-publicized relationship with actress and comedian Ellen DeGeneres, whom she met at an Oscar party.
Before sitting down for a late-after-
noon interview, Heche stopped to call "Ell" to say she would be home soon. The two moved into a new house last Valentine's Day.
"Hi, baby, how are you?" Heche said to DeGeneres, holding the phone in one hand and a pen in another to autograph promotional posters for Return to Paradise.
Heche said she chose the role because of its message of responsibility and love.
In the movie, Heche plays a lawyer who tries to save an American man imprisoned on drug charges in Malaysia after a reckless vacation with two friends. She has to persuade the men to return and admit that they are guilty to save her client's life with a plea bargain.
"My brother was killed when he was 18 and I was 13," she said. "I never got to fight for his life. This was a movie where I got to fight the fight that I never got to."
The film is a departure for Hache, who played a scientist and Tommy Lee Jones' quirky love interest in Volcano, Johnny Depp's wife in Donnie Brasco and the cynical press aid in Wag the Dog. She won National Board of Review awards for the latter two roles.
tell two jobs.
"I fall in love with all my characters," Heche said. "I never want to forget that what I am playing is dress-up. I am a very committed person, and I'm committed to the truth of who I am. I've worked a long time in order to get there and have gone through a lot of struggles of looking at my nightmares in order to get to a place where I'm comfortable with myself—enough to be able to receive love for everything that I am."
Unfortunately, she said, that love has not come from her family.
Her family has barely spoken to her since she announced that she was homosexual. DeGeneres' mother has taken the place of Heche's mother
Heche was born in Aurora, Oroio,
and moved around.
"I've been really blessed. I may not be getting the 20 scripts a week that somebody else gets, but I'm getting the ones I want."
Anne Heche
Actress
"They are very religious," she said. "Gay is a sin to them."
Perhaps, Heche said, the resentment comes from learning that their father, who had worked as a Baptist church choir director, led a secret gay life. He died of AIDS when Heche was 13, the same year her brother died.
To escape her dreary home life and to make some money, Heche began acting in dinner theater in southern New Jersey.
"My home became the theater when I was 12, and I couldn't wait to get there," she said. "I loved it."
At age 15, she turned down an offer to go to New York to work on the soap opera *As the World Turns* so she could stay in high school. She graduated in 1987 and left the next day for the soap *Another World*. The job earned her an Emmy in 1991.
"That kind of started my life as an actress." Heche said.
She came to Hollywood, and television work led to small supporting roles in feature films.
In 1985, Heche was noticed in *Pie in the Sky*, a hit at film festivals. Her stardom climbed with *The Juror* in 1996 and the next year with Volcano.
"I've been really blessed," she said. "I may not be getting the 20 scripts a week that somebody else gets, but I'm getting the ones I want."
The experiences of Italian, Polish and Jewish Americans are the focus of one documentary series, while two other films scrutinize the world of contemporary Orthodox Jews.
LOS ANGELES — PBS dishes up a big serving from the American melting pot this month, reminding us how close we are to our ethnic roots — and how far.
Films examine 'melting pot'
Celebrating immigrant spirit and identity is the goal of these films, produced by PBS station WLIW of New York and second generation to a 1966-97 series that resonated with viewers.
The Italian Americans II: A Beautiful Song, The Polish Americans and Another Mitzvah (Blessing) is as unabashedly positive as were The Italian Americans and A Laugh, a Tear, a Mitzvah and May the Road Rise to Meet You, about Irish Americans.
The Associated Press
The programs take a rosy view of what distinguishes each group and how each group has distinguished itself in America.
The two Mitzvahs are probably the only documentaries on Jewish culture that don't dwell on the Holocaust," Cass said. "And the Italian show doesn't dwell on the Mafia. These series are designed to talk about the positive aspects of the culture ... so people can celebrate and pass on to children things that are getting lost."
There is much familiar ground in the programs -- about cultural idiosyncrasies and the important roles of family, faith and community -- but it gets a fresh treatment by virtue of the personalities involved.
"I don't want to trivialize the Italian-American experience, but I think one of the first things we're aware of is the food," said actor Alan Alda, born Alphonso D'Abruzzu. "I can remember every dish of pasta I've eaten."
Ethnic pride may endure, but each generation inevitably seems less Italian or Polish or Jewish and more American.
There are people, of course, who resist assimilation, creating islands of tradition in America. One such group, Hasidic Jews, is the focus of The Return of Sarah's Daughters and A Life Apart.
Sarah's Daughters is filmmaker Marcia Jaramel's effort to understand how modern women can embrace Orthodox Judaism, which is highly structured and, to an outsider, seems to classify women as second-class citizens.
The film is an intriguing, intimate look at the details of everyday life, including how a kitchen is kept kosher and why women must go through the ritual bath known as a mikvah. The film offers a balanced examination of the demands and rewards of the faith.
A Lye Apart, narrated by actors Sarah Jessica Parker and Leonard Nimoy, examines other Hasidic Jews who more strictly observe ritual law and seem further divorced from American society.
Rifts between the Hasidim and other Jews — who fault them for "spiritual arrogance" or sexism or who find their Jewishness too overt — are examined.
as confirmed
The melting pot continues to boil.
The Italian Americans II. The Polish Americans and Another Mitzvah begin airing on PBS stations this week. The Return of Sarah's Daughters begins Aug. 23, while A Life Apart begins Aug. 25. Check local listings for air dates and stations.
Study: Taller toddlers likelier bullies
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Taller, more independent toddlers are more likely than their peers to become adolescent bullies, a new study has found.
"One of the explanations is that if a kid has a big size, he uses that to get what he wants," said Adrian Raine, leading author of the study published in the August issue of Archives of General Psychiatry.
Researchers studied children in Mauritius, an island between Africa and India, beginning in 1972. Several ethnic backgrounds were represented.
Height, weight and levels of stimulation-seeking and fearlessness were measured when the children were 3 years old. When the 1,130 participants turned 11 years old, their aggressiveness was determined by factors such as whether they swore, fought, threatened others and were cruel.
"Once kids learn that early on, then it becomes ingrained," Raine said. "So, later on in life, when a person is faced with a difficult situation, he goes back to early learning experience by using his physical advantage whether he is still tall or not."
The most aggressive 11-year-olds were found to have been an average half an inch taller than their peers, Raine said.
Study of Violence in Boston, agreed that children's body size may be a factor in later aggression but said that there were other necessary characteristics for a child to become a bully.
"A very important variable is the way that a child is treated at home and by his peers," Levin said. "There has to be a need for bullying, a need to being aggressive toward other children. The most important variable psychologically, it seems to be, is a profound sense of powerlessness."
Jack Levin, director of Northeastern University's Program for the
raime suggested that parents of taller, more independent toddlers should discourage their children from using their size or aggression to get what they want.

Life's drama has appeal for single-mother Foster
Actress reflects on movie career, new son Charles
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Jodie Foster,
the thinking person's actress, is
now the thinking baby's mother.
Its title: The Baby Dance.
The heir to this "mother lode"
is Charles Foster, who was born
July 20. One week before, in a
Hollywood touch, the mom-to-be
was promoting a Showtime
movie she had co-produced.
The film, which features Stockard Channing and Laura Dern, makes its debut Sunday on the cable channel. It is about parents and would-be parents who seem to get things wrong as much as right.
Channing and Peter Riegert are a high-powered professional couple who, unable to conceive, contract with hard-luck Wanda and AI (Dern and Richard Lineback) to adopt the baby Wanda is carrying and cannot afford to keep.
Written and directed by Jane Anderson and based on her play, the film pits jarringly different people against each other and, at times, against the baby's best interests. The simplest of wishes — to have a child — becomes the catalyst for dark humor and tragedy.
The drama appealed to Foster, 35, who does not like to keep things simple.
"I love the complicatedness of all the characters, how nobody's a hero or villain," she said. "I like movies about people, the things we do to each other and why we do them."
Foster's own decision to rear a child alone was not an unconsidered or uninformed step. She is one of four children raised by a single mother who had little money or family help. She has managed other life transitions, including her evolution from precocious child star (Taxi Driver, Bugsy Malone) to Yale scholar to Oscar-winning actress (The Accused, 1991's The Silence of the Lambs) to director (Little Man Tate).

Here is what Foster had to
Foster: Is the co-producer of a Showtime movie.
say about family, career, and what happens when the two combine.
Q: How would you describe your own childhood?
A: I think it was a happy childhood, but it was a complicated childhood. We're all very complicated people in my family. I know I didn't have the Ozzie and Harriet family, but I'm very happy for the childhood that I had. Much like the boy in Little Man Tate, part of what made me into a sensitive, perceptive person ... was that I did come from that place. I'm sure there are things that I've missed and parts of me that are completely neurotic, but who isn't?
Q: Can you envision what kind of parent you'll be?
A: Gosh, I really don't know. I think the best advice is really to try and be yourself and try to be as true to yourself as you possibly can and as honest with your kids as you possibly can. Beyond that, I've got all the books. And I'm a little older. I'm not a 19-year-old kid.
Q: How do you balance baby and career?
A: I am directing a film next spring-summer, '99, which seems like a nice amount of time (after the baby's birth). The nice thing about the movie business is you can bring your kids wherever you go. I'll just see as I go along. I mean, I've been working for 32 years, so I don't have this burning desire to act. And if I ever
had it, it's probably 15 years ago.
I got cured of it very quickly. ... I only like to make things, if I can help it, that move me. I don't need to go out and do some buddy cop comedy. I'd rather travel and learn new things.
Q: How would you feel if your child wanted to act?
A: There's a part of me that would want him to think twice about it. But at the same time, you can't control people. Just my luck, to get some show-bizzy kid. It's been a great life for me. I got to travel at a young age, I got to talk to grown-ups who would listen to me. I would have conversations about life with them. For me, it's been an amazing education. But I know that's not true for a lot of kids. I think the pitfalls are really big for a lot of kids. I don't know how I survived intact. It's a tough profession.
Q: How will you deal with the effect of your celebrity on your child's life?
A: That's really too bad. I don't know what to do about it. You just try to be as healthy as possible. I can't say being a celebrity is a great thing — there's nothing good about it besides the work. The work is terrific, and you meet people and have access to people you wouldn't have had otherwise. But the rest of it, the lack of anonymity, there's just nothing fun about it. It will just be another obstacle he (Charles) will have. I have to think about how to minimize the damage.
Q: Describe your career over the next 10 or 20 years.
A: I want to get better as a director. ... I love directing. I love thinking of the movie that way and everything that goes into it. The funny thing about it is that it's effortless for me, whereas acting actually requires a lot of effort from me because it's not my personality. I wish I was more of an extrovert and liked to do accents and jump on tables with a lamp shade on my head ... but it's just not who I am. I'm not that much of an exhibitionist.

Jayhawks aim high
Allen, team look to build on 1997
by Jodi M. Smith
Kansan sportswriter
With Terry Allen's inaugural season under his belt, expectations are high that the Jayhawks can return to the success that they reached three years ago.
During the 1995 season, the Jayhawks culminated 10-2 season with a top-10 poll finish and a 51-30 Aloha Bowl win against UCLA.
Two season later, Allen replaced
former coach Glen Mason and fans have expected the team to get better and better. better
"I think we be a better football team than we'll be a year ago, but there's a chance our record might not reflect that." Allen said.
After finishing last year's season with a 5-6 record and winning all but one home game, Allen's first season proved that the Kansas football team could contend.
Although the offense has improved since last year, the size and depth the team lost on the defensive side could hinder its output this season.
"Athletically, I think they're (the defense) as good, if not better, than
the group before, but they lack experience," Allen said.
Defense is not its only problem, and the offense if far from perfect.
I wouldn't say our offense is looking really great; it's looking better, and there's a big difference," Allen said. "We're getting better offensively, and we're still striving to be as effective defensively."
Quarterback Zac Wegner is not worried about the defense or the team as a whole.
"We lost a lot on defense, but everything on offense is back." Wegner said. "But I think on defense they replaced the guys that

Falkenstein receives award from Football Hall of Fame
By Chris Hopkins
Kansan sports writer
Falkenstein, the Kansas football and men's basketball broadcaster, became the third person to receive the award, which is given to a broadcaster who has had a long and distinguished career of broadcasting college football games.
The College Football Hall of Fame presented Max Falkenstein with the Chris Schenkel Award during last week's annual Enshrinement Ceremonies.
"That voice was synonymous with football and basketball broadcasts," Beard said. "As you turned the radio dial, when you heard that voice, you knew it was a KU broadcast."
Ray Bechard, Kansas women's volleyball coach, grew up listening to Falkenstein and KU sports west of Hays.
The 1998 season will be Falkenstein's 53rd year broadcasting Kansas athletic events. He has been on the air for more than half of all of Kansas's football and men's basketball games and has covered track events.
---
Terry Allen, Kansas football coach, said he respected Falkenstein's coverage of the Jayhawks.
"He's very deserving," Allen said. "He's really a legend in his own time."
Falkenstein is a member of the University of Kansas Athletics Hall of Fame, received the Hod Humiston award from the Kansas Broadcaster's Association and received the Ellsworth Medalion, the
Falkenstein; begins 53rd year as the voice of the 'Hawks.
University of Kansas Alumni Association's highest honor.
Bob Davis will begin his 15th season broadcasting games with Falkenstein this fall.
"I don't know anyone who has a greater zest for life or for the University of Kansas than he does," Davis said. "I think it's a great recognition for him and for the University as well."
By forming alliances with stations in Topeka, Wichita and elsewhere, he raised awareness of Kansas' football program throughout the state.
In 1940, Falkenstein founded the KU Sports network, which broadcasts Kansas games across the state.
KANU, the campus radio station, took over the network in 1952, and ESPN has run the network since 1984
Falkenstein is head of the Kansas All-Sports Hall of Fame Board of Trustees.
The award honors radio or television broadcasters who have close ties to a single university or college.
The Schenkel award first was given in 1996 to Chris Schenkel, one of the pioneers in the field of televised sports broadcasting and a foundation board member of Haskell Indian Nations University.
Jack Cristil, with 45 years of broadcast experience at Mississippi State, received the award in 1997.
Commentary Fall battles to determine Kansas kings
It was fall, and the first frost was not far off on the Mount of Oread.
Most of the citizens were quiet, intellectual types. From time to time, they would lean from the windows of their ivory tower to drop water balloons on unsuspecting strangers, but for the most part, they scurried between their study cubicles at the library and their desks in their rooms.
the citizens of the Mount, which is in the Kingdom of Lawrence, located in the eastern part of the Land of Kansas, were known as Jayhawks.
Many of the Jayhawks had returned only days before and already were beginning to nibble at

the gingerbread walls of their monastic dormitories.
As the sun set each evening, they ventured forth to revel in their freedom, quaffing secret potions and potent brews in often vain attempts to meet fair maidens or charming gentlemen.
Given the lack of academic assignment — instruction by wise elders on the Mount was not scheduled to begin for several days — the citizens were enjoying Mass. Street, the fabled center of entertainment, minstrels and magicians.
Although the Kingdom was
ful and quite festive, all was not well.
peaceful and quite festive, all was not
To the north were the blood-thirsty Cornhuskers,
ready to roll over the Jayhawks with their massive
infantry and leave only crimson stains on the turf.
But perhaps the greatest menace lay in Manhattan to the west. The "Little Apple" was rotten to the core. A marauding army led by the stoic Bill Snyder had owned the field of battle since 1992, winning the previous five conflicts.
To the east were the villains in black and gold. Sporting the crest of the Tiger, they stood poised to attack at any moment led by Commanding Officer Larry Smith and Field General Corby Jones.
It was true that the Jayhawks excelled in the smaller five-on-five battles between kingdoms in the winter and spring. Generals Roy Williams and Marian Washington had led their armies far and wide, defeating armies across the continent.
But it was fall, and the field of battle belonged to the 11-man squads who fought between white lines for ground, points and pride. Their battle gear was heavy and their training hard.
Although he was unused to defeat, his young, inexperienced troops had lost more battles than they won, ending the battle season with a record of 5.6.
The Jayhawks' head military tactician had arrived only the year before, but Terry Allen was experienced as a field general and a commanding officer.
To his credit, his men fought hard and won some contests although they gave up more ground than they were able to take. Costly blunders by opposing soldiers quickly were turned to the Jayhawks' advantage, and they defeated the malfaestant Tigers.
Unfortunately, Allen's tactics and training were not enough to stop the continuing onslaught from the west, and once again, the Wildcats, carrying banners of purple, won the day and bragging rights in the Land of Kansas.
But 1997 is history.
Once again, with the frosts around the corner, and the trees begging to turn glorious shades of red and gold, Allen readies his army.
The young citizens of the Kingdom will give no thought to stopping the flood of crimson from the north — to survive 'til winter as other kingdoms do will be enough.
But hope springs eternal. Maybe Allen has prepared his troops well enough. Maybe a well-timed blitz attack or a surprise offensive thrust will provide the needed break.
The memories are recent - last year the Jayhawks vanquished the Tigers. Six years ago, they obliterated the Wildcats.
Perhaps the aerial attack with speedy soldiers will open the field for the runners and backs.
It might be too much to hope for, but even the most intellectual and well-trained prognosticators on the Mount can predict the weather for only a few days in advance.
So enjoy your potions and brews. Chase your dream companion across town and try not to chew too many holes in the walls of your room.
Soon enough, young Jayhawks, your army will take the field. Allen will ride his white charger down the hill into Memorial Stadium with his troops in tow.
It could be a long fall, full of bitter defeats and close losses. But the Jayhawks could surprise some people — even the Wildcats — and leave the field awash in crimson and blue.

Zac Wegner answers reporters' questions. Wegner, a junior quarterback from Platte City, Mo., was responding to media inquiries during the KU Football Media Day on Aug. 10. Wegner is the only quarterback with any playing time or starting experience returning to the Jayhawk team this fall. He will have to read defenses and media blitzes as the starting quarterback for a team that surprised people last year but is picked to finish fifth in the Big 12 Conference North Division.

Track members blossom at spring championship
By Melinda Weaver Kansan Sports Reporter
Long after the rest of the student body left town, members of the Kansas track team continued to practice, striving to reach the NCAA Outdoor Championship June 3-6 in Buffalo, N.Y.
Four competitors reached this goal. Candy Mason, Nevada, Mo., junior heptathlete and pole vaulter; Lester Smith, St. Louis junior triple jumper; Scott Russell, Windson, Ontario, freshman javelin thrower; and Marlea Woodman, Belleville junior discus thrower qualified for the championship meet.
Despite a foot injury that had plagued her all season, Mason earned a spot at nationals in the heptathlon and pole vault.
On her way to becoming the Big 12 Outdoor Performer of the Year, the two-time All-American claimed the heptathlon and pole vault titles in the Big 12 Conference Championships May 15-17. Her 5,571 heptathlon points broke the conference-meet record.
Mason was ranked sixth nationally in the heptathlon and second nationally in the pole vault before the NCAA Championships.
At the championships, Mason scored 5,637 points in the heptathlon, a personal best, and placed third, becoming an All-
American for the third time.
"What made the difference was her attitude and competitiveness," said track coach Gary Schwartz. "She's older and stronger. She's definitely a person on a mission to do the best she can do."
Mason finished ninth in the pole vault.
Smith qualified in the triple

qualified for the nationals at the Washington State Triangular May 2 with a jump of 52 feet, $ 8^{3/4} $ inches — the fourth-best jump ever by a Kansas jumper.
In Buffalo, he earned All-American honors once again, placing eighth with a jump of 52-foot, 2 $ \frac{1}{2} $ - inch jump.
"Lester has been a tough competitor all year and showed his maturity and competitiveness in earning his first trip to the NCAA championship," Schwartz said. "He had a very solid performance."
In his first season on the Kansas track team, Russell captured the Big 12 Conference javelin crown with his NCAA automatic qualifying throw of 247 feet, 7 inches. The throw ranked fifth nationally and second in university history.
Russell did not place at the June championship meet.
"Russell had a great year," Schwartz said. "At (at nationals) he just had one of those days where things weren't going right for him."
During the summer, Russell represented Canada in Annecy, France, at the Junior World Championships, a competition for athletes younger than 20. He placed fifth in the javelin competition, which contained some of the best young athletes in the world.
Marlea Woodman, Belleville junior, also earned her first shot at the nationals in the discus.
Her NCAA provisional toss of 176 feet, 4 inches at the Kansas, Kansas State and Wichita State Triangular on April 11 ranked her 17 nationally and broke the university discus record.
Kansas Relays tripped up by stadium work
LAWRENCE — The Kansas Relays will be suspended until the University of Kansas constructs a new track and field stadium, the school's athletics director said.

location to be determined," Bob Frederick said. "We think it would be appropriate to mark the debut of a new track facility and reinstitute the relays in the same year."
The meet, which began in 1923, was not held this year because of renovations at Memorial Stadium. Track coach Gary Schwartz said
the track was not in competition condition and would be expensive to refurbish.
"Unfortunately, it seems that the most realistic choice is to resume the Kansas Relays once the new facility is built." Schwartz said.
The only other time the meet was not held was because of World War II between 1943 and 1945.

Ostertag tees off to raise money
By Erin Thompson
Kansan sportswriter
With the NBA holding a lockout, former University of Kansas basketball player Greg Ostertag has plenty of spare time. He has enough time to give back to the community of Lawrence.
Kansas, Greg Ostertag was diagnosed with asthma. He said he wanted to help educate parents about the diagnosis and treatment of asthma.
Ostertag held his third annual golf classic on Friday at Alvamar Golf Club. The proceeds will benefit the American Lung Association.
Ostertag also gave a $50,000 donation to the American Lung Association, which will be used to start an asthma camp in northeast Kansas.
"There are a few athletes who do get in trouble and do give us a bad name," Ostertag said. "I like to do this to make up for the guys who don't get in trouble."
Several former Kansas basketball players participated in the event, including Rex Walters, Kevin Pritchard and Mike Maddox.
While a basketball player at
"I'm proud to be a part of this as a former Kansas basketball player." Maddox said. "It's great to see former players making significant commitments and contributions to
our community."
The event began with a celebrity putting contest and ended with a tournament.
Ostertag recently completed his third season in the NBA with the Utah Jazz. In his first three years, Ostertag has played in the Western Conference Finals three times and the NBA Finals twice. The Jazz lost to the Bulls both times in the NBA Finals.
Ostertag said he was optimistic the NBA lockout would be resolved by the start of the season.
"I'm sure they'll get it resolved before too long," he said. "They'll start holding meetings daily to resolve it."

Chenowith travels with All-Stars
By Brandon Krisztal
Kansan sportswriter
DALLAS — While most Kansas students were eagerly awaiting the end of summer and returning to school, sophomore center Eric Chenowith was packing his bags and heading to Europe for 10 days. Chenowith represented Kansas on the inaugural Big 12 All-Star tour of Europe. The All-Stars finished the tour 4-2.

The team was coached by Texas Tech chass james Dickey.
Before the trip, Chenowith said that he was excited about going to Europe for the first time.

"It's a great opportunity," Chenowith said. "Most people don't ever get to go to Europe, and I'm getting to go and play basketball."
The All-Star team included one member from every Big 12 school, except for Texas A&M, which is on its own team tour overseas.
The point-guard duties were split between Oklahoma senior Michael Johnson and Texas Tech junior Rayford Young. The wing positions were anchored by three seniors: Oklahoma State's Adrian Peterson, Colorado's Kenny Price and Missouri's Jeff Hafer.
Forwards Jamie Kendrick, a junior from Baylor, Martin Ranick, an Iowa State sophomore, and Kansas State senior Shawn Rhodes shared time both in the post and on the perimeter. Joining Chenwith down low was fellow sophomore Chris Mihm from Texas and Nebraska senior Venson Hamilton.
"We have a good blend of talent," Dickey said. "It's really an honor to coach such a good bunch of young men."
Before the tour, Dickey said he was looking forward to coaching the All-Stars.
Heading into the tour, Dickey said that he was a little uncertain about the talent level of the European teams and how the teams would look.

The Big 12 All-Stars opened the tour Aug. 7 with a 44-point victory, 116-72, against the Stevenage (England) Rebels. Chenwish led the All-Stars with 17 points and the Rebels' lone American player, Dwayne Martin, led all scorers with a high of 24 points.

NBA move is on hold for 2 former Jayhawks
Despite top spots LaFrentz, Pierce await lockout end
By Molinda Weaver Kansan sportswriter
Kansan sportswriter
On National Basketball Association draft night June 24, shock waves riped through
pled through Lawrence.
1996
Paul Pierce, who left the University of Kansas after his junior season to join the NBA, was not drafted until the 10th overall pick.
LaFrentz: Says he is excited about playing for Denver.
With Pierce and Raef LaFrentz both entering the draft many predicted Kansas would have two top five picks. LaFrentz did not disappoint. The Denver Nuggets selected him with the third overall pick.
“DENVER is where he really wanted to go,” said Kansas coach Roy Williams.
“It’s seldom that you get to choose where you want to go, but RaeF basically got to do just that.”
Although LaFrentz missed nine games with a broken hand early in the season, he was named a first team All-American and the Big 12 Conference Player of the Year by The Associated Press. He finished second in school history behind Danny Manning in scoring with 2,066 points and rebounding with 1,106.
Pierce, also a first-team All-American, was picked 10th by the Boston Celtics, a team he said he thought had
"I'm extremely excited to be drafted by the Denver Nuggets," LaFrentz said. "It will be great to stay in Big 12 territory. I'm just excited to be in the NBA."
plavoff potential in the near future.
Pierce, who led the Jayhawks in scoring last season with 20.5 points a game, was slated second in many mock drafts behind Mike Bibby, a guard from Arizona.
However, when the Los Angeles Clippers used the first pick to select Michael Olowokandi, a center from University of the Pacific, which left Bibby to be taken by the Vancouver

and owners in the NBA reached a stalemate in their contract discussions and the owners imposed a lockout on the players, which meant teams could not negotiate with, sign, or trade players.
That left Pierce and LaFrentz with no contract and no idea how long they would be out of work.
"This lockout is hindering to all the players, particularly the rookies and free agents," said Ellen LaFrentz, Raef LaFrentz's mother. "It keeps them from blending and becoming part of a family."
She said that LaFrentz was able to have contact with the Nuggets until July 1. He met the trainer, a few of his new teammates and most of the people in the front office.
LaFrentz continued to live in Lawrence and work out daily in the University areas, but he was looking for a home in Denver.
"We hope the NBA will look at what happened to baseball and be bright enough to get on with the negotiations." Ellen LeFrentz said.

'Hawks keep to goal of finals
By Brad Hallier
Kansan sportswriter
The 1998 season is looking bright for the Kansas Jayhawks women's soccer team. With 19 players returning from last year's squad, this year's team wants to earn its first berth in the Big 12 Conference tournament in San Antonio.
Dan Magner begins his second year as coach of the Jayhawks and said that he was looking forward to the 19-game season, which begins Sept. 4 in Miami against Florida International. The team also will play the University of Miami there. The team will travel to Virginia for the Sheraton Four Season Tournament Sept. 18-20 in Virginia. There, the team will play the University of Arizona and either James Madison or George Washington.
"Last year, I didn't know the players as well as I know them this year," said Magner, who was hired as coach in March of 1997, and led the Jayhawks to a 7-12 record.
The Jayhawks will add 12 newcomers, including transfers Johanna Larsson from the University of Gotenburg, Sweden, and Melissa Downing from Texas Christian.
Also new to the team this year are Magner's assistants. The team added Ellen Obleman from the University of Kentucky and goalkeeper coach Kevin Blokker.
"I can bring goalkeeping experience here," Blokker said. "I've been a goalkeeper coach for ODP (Olympic Development Program) the last four years, but I also hold an 'A' coaching license, so I can do whatever needs to be done, but my specialty is goalkeepers."
Top returning scorers are Colleen Colvin — who led the Jayhawks in points with 14, including five goals

and four assists and junior Christy Clark, who paced the team in goals with six. Starting goalkeeper Jee Fecke as well.
Magner said that he would adjust the team's style and formation this season.
Last year, the Jayhawks played a flat-four on defense and a zone rather than player-to-player defense. In the spring, Magner said he experimented with a 3-5-2 (three defenders, five midfielders and two forwards). Magner also said that this year he would mix the defensive style between zone and player-to-player.
"Playing zone, it allows the team to shape well, so when you win the ball, you can go forward immediately," he said. "This year, you'll see a faster transition into the attack. Last year, we held onto the ball when we won it, but this year, we'll look to go forward immediately."
In addition, Magner is going to emphasize the importance of each Big 12 match.
12 Tournament was the team's priority. Last year, the Jayhawks finished 2-8 in the conference, which was not good enough record to qualify.
Big 12 match.
"Last year, we learned that when you don't go into those games with total focus and commitment, it will be difficult to win. With our senior leadership, they will enable the younger players to see the importance of the Big 12 contests," he said.
Magner said that getting to the Big
The conference season begins at home on Sept. 8 against Missouri. The teams to watch in the Big 12 this year include Texas A&M and Nebraska, which were both nationally ranked in the top 20 last year.
Magner also talked about achieving goals on a game-to-game basis. He said that if the team could meet those goals it would be successful.
Men expect success; Women lack depth
By Dan Forguson
Kansan sportswriter
When the University of Kansas Cross Country coach Gary Schwartz compares his men's and women's teams, he sees an extreme contrast.
Cross country teams miles apart
On one side, he sees the promise of the men's program. Key returning runners and a strong recruiting class combine to form the nucleus for a successful season.
On the other side, he sees a women's team that has lost its top two runners from last season. This loss and a depth problem add up to a rebuilding process, Schwartz said.
"The men's and women's teams are definitely on two different plateaus." he said.
Jensen and Nyanabura arrive at Kansas with high expectations. Jensen, from Denmark, is a transfer from Oklahoma State. He ran one year at the Big 12 rival.
Tate, who is expected to lead the Jayhawks this year, was competitive in nearly all of his races last year but lost strength as the season progressed. He suffered his two worst losses at the Big 12 and District championships.
On the higher plateau stands the men's squad. Junior Andy Tate and senior Lou Theobold will provide leadership for the Jayhawks. Incoming recruits Brian Jensen and Rajive Nyanbura will look to step in immediately and contribute.
Nyanbura, from Kenya, will be running his first collegiate races for the Jayhawks this season.
Last year, the men's team started off strong with a second-place finish at the Southern Illinois Invite and
continued to give steady performances throughout the year.
"We're starting with the right ingredients," Schwartz said. "Now its just a matter of putting all of the ingredients together and avoiding sickness and injury."
What they cannot avoid is the stiff competition that they will face in the Big 12 Conference and in the District V Championships. All the members of the Big 12 will provide the Jayhawks with a measuring stick of success. Colorado, Nebraska, and Baylor will provide the biggest challenges.
"There's a lot of cross-country tradition in the Big 12 Conference," Schwartz said. "If we finish in the top half of our conference, I will consider the season to be a success."
schwartz said that the team would have a 50/50 chance but that it would depend on who improved and was running well at the end of the season.
Schwartz said he would like to see his men's squad participating in the NCAA Championships, which will be held at the Jayhawks home course.
The outlook for the women's squad is much more humbling, Schwartz said.
"The two definite concerns I have with our women are the lack of experience and the lack of depth." Schwartz said. "Diane will definitely have to show leadership and lead this team all season long."
just want them to continue to improve and to be as competitive as possible." Schwartz said.
The Jayhawks lost their top two runners, Emily Miles and Lynn LoPresti, to graduation. Senior Diane Heffernan is the only returning runner with much experience.

that did not experience much success last season leaves the Jayhawks searching for answers. Other than its win at last year's Southern Illinois Invite, the team's best finish in a meet was seventh and all of its best individual times were shared by Miles and LoPresti.
Along with Heffernan, fellow senior Joanna Scollon must take the lead for the women's squad. Scollon's best finish was seventh at the season opening Southern Illinois Invite meet.
Juniors Lydia Oelschlaeger and Cynthia Smith also will look to help the Jayhawks. Oelschlaeger struggled in her sophomore campaign, running only three races with her best finish being a 6th place time at the Big 12 Championships. Smith comes into this year with two years experience to build on.
Both squads will start off the season Sept. 12 at the Jayhawk Invitational.
"This is a very tough meet to start out with," Schwartz said. "The way our schedule is set up, we'll be running in tough meets all year long. We've recruited well, and we're returning some good talent. It's just a matter of seeing how all the ingredients come together."

New coach hopes to dig team out of losing record
By Laura Bokenkroger
Kansan Sports Writer
A new coach and a new arena will contribute to a season of changes for the Kansas volleyball team.
A new, smaller arena that is yet to be named is scheduled to be ready by mid-November. This improved complex will amplify the cheers of smaller crowds. Senior setter Laura Rhode said she hoped to play several matches in the building located just west of Allen Field House.
Rhode said, "It's going to have air conditioning. It's going to build a great tradition for volleyball."
The other major change in the program is the hiring of the former Barton County Community College coach, Ray Bechard. He has won the most games of any collegiate volleyball coach.
Beachard said he looked forward to the season and to bringing his winning ways to Kansas. The team has been plagued with inconsistency and have posted a losing record the last four seasons.
After finishing last season 2-18 in the Big 12 Conference and 9-24 overall, the Jayhawks face an even stronger conference this year. Nebraska and Texas are placed in the preseason Top 10 and Colorado is ranked at No. 12.
The Jayhawks, who began practicing last week, lost four seniors from last year's squad and have four newcomers joining the team this season.
"There are some spots that need to be filled," Bechard said. "One key will be keeping healthy because there are spots that we can't afford to lose through injury."
Beachard said the Jayhawks would need to improve on defense. They finished last in digs in the Big 12 and in the middle of the neck in blocking.
"Our offense is strong, but good defense will win games," said outside hitter Moira Donovan.
Bechard said that his goal for practices was to challenge and reward his players. Establishing good relationships between the players, the staff and the coaches is important, he said.
"Our focus isn't so much on individual players as on how the team comes together," he said. "I know there is a time for individual recognition, but we need to focus on our core covenant and spreading the responsibility equally."
Bechard said that playing in three tough tournaments early in the season would prepare the Jayhawks for Big 12 play and provide them with the opportunity for success.
"I want to win a lot more matches this year," Rhode said. "Coach is supplying a lot of incentive."
Bechard said it was important for his team to play with intensity.
"There are teams in our conference we would have to play exceptionally well to beat," Bechard said. "So it's important that we don't look back on games we could have won and say 'what if!'"
Bechard said he hoped to move his team into the middle tier of the Big 12 this season and begin a new winning tradition a Kansas.
"We would like to supply a good product to the fans, be a team that is organized, disciplined and who gives tremendous effort representing the University of Kansas in an exemplary fashion," Bechard said.
The Kansas volleyball team will participate in a community service event today at the Family Service and Guidance Center in Topeka.
Commentary Reflections on summer sports
By Kevin C. Wilson
Associate Sports Editor
The fun-loving days of summer sports soon will give way to the brisk autumn air of September and the upcoming football season. But before we leap headfirst into the gridiron grind, let's take a moment to look back at some of the most memorable summer sports moments.
Mark McGwire, Ken Griffey Jr., and Sammy Sosa. Utterting these names instantly will spark a debate about which of these bashing behemoths eventually might break the most hallowed record in sports history.
Their unprecedented assault on 61 home runs has captured the attention of the world and even has overshadowed Michael Jordan's indecision as the lead story of the summer.
in regards to that reigning King of the Court, I hope that Mike decides to hang up his Air Jordans and let our last memory of him be perfect. That crucial steal and series-clinching jump shot catapulted the Bulls to their sixth NBA title and embodied the essence of what Jordan has provided for this game.
Grit, grace, and a killer instinct have allowed Jordan to continue to dominate his sport, even though he no longer is the explosive slasher who once soared and scored at will without seemingly ever touching the ground.
As disheartening as it may seem, it is time for the greatest player ever to step on the hardwood to leave the game he elevated to its lofty status.
It is time for Jordan to keep his promise and not play for any other coach than Phil Jackson.
it is time for Scottie Pippen to spread his wings and fly into free agency and the millions of dollars that await him.
It is time for Dennis Rodman to escape to Hollywood and team up with Shaq O'Neal and Kobe Bryant to form a star-studded Lakers team with a legitimate shot at adding another championship ring to Rodman's jewelry collection.
It is time for the Bulls to rebuild and embark on the Tim Floyd era, as scary as that is for Chicago fans to imagine.
Mike, it is time to lift the weight of the NBA off your shoulders and pick up the golf clubs. You have done enough, and you have won enough. Go out on top.
Because of the ridiculous NBA lockout, draft day became little more than an excuse for tall young men to put on gaudy new hats.
Even though Raef LaFrentz and Paul Pierce have not yet been able to become acquainted with their new teams and coaches, when they finally do, they should do so with a smile.
LaFrentz was snatched up by the Denver Nuggets with the third overall pick in the draft and should blossom under the tutelage of former NBA great and current Nuggets general manager Dan Issel.
LaFrentz received even better news on draft day when his main competition for the starting power forward spot, Tony Battie, was traded to the Lakers as part of a deal to acquire former All-Star point guard Nick Van Excel. Not only does this open the door for LaFrentz but it gives him a
young, talented playmaker to ease his adjustment to the professional level.
Pierce unexpectedly slipped out of the top five and fell into the lap of the Boston Celtics at the No. 10 spot. Rick Pitino's up-tempo style and frequent substitution patterns will give Pierce the opportunity to contribute immediately.
By joining a team that already is loaded with young, talented players such as Antoine Walker and Ron Merer. Pierce has the chance to
Kevin Wilson
play exciting basketball and possibly reach the plavoffins in his rookie season.
That is if or when, the NBA resumes play
The most popular sport in the world staged its grandest show this past summer. In case you missed it, World Cup '98 provided high-scoring games, spectacular goals and tremendous drama.
Although the U.S. team fell flat on its face in the first round, plenty of action and intrigue was left to keep the attention of the small population of U.S. soccer fans.
The England vs. Argentina classic, Bergkamp's blast, and Croatia's run to the semi-finals, highlighted the monthlong battle for the Cup and set up the final between the unheralded host nation, France, and the ultra-talented defending champion Brazil.
French midfielder Zinedine Zidane used his building head to push two first-half corner kicks past the Brazilian goalkeeper en route to a stunning 3-0 rout and the first World Cup title for the French.
Although this summer provided us with the magical Yankees, the Kerry Wood fastball and the emergence of Se Ri Pak, it was not all flowers and honey.
Tennis teen queen squabbles, the dismantling of the World Series Champion Florida Marlins and the reinstatement attempt by the convicted criminal and savage animal Mike Tyson have reminded us about the underbelly of sports.
As for me, I choose to focus on the positive side of sports and bask in the glory of the home-run chase.

Kansas men have big shoes to fill
Difficult schedule team replacements to challenge 'Hawks
By Erin Thompson
Kansan sportswriter
Ten years ago, Roy Williams entered his first year. Upon his arrival he was greeted with the formidable task of rebuilding the previous year's national champions. He had to replace Danny Manning, the national player of the year, as well as a strong senior class. To top it off, the program was on probation.
This season, Williams faces similar challenges. He had one of his most successful seasons last year, and he must attempt to replace several key players.
"Last year, we had the luxury of Rae (LaFrentz) or Paul (Pierce) getting the key bucket or rebound," Williams said. "For us to be successful, everyone on the roster is going to have to contribute."
Last season, the 100th year of Kansas basketball, the Jayhawks finished with a 35-4 record and tied the school record for most victories in a season. They won their second-straight Big 12 Conference championship and their fourth-straight
conference title.
The Jayhawks' recent dominance is highlighted by its home-court advantage at Allen Fieldhouse. They have not lost a game at home since February of 1994 and enter the 1998-99 season with a 60-game home-court winning streak — the longest current streak in Division I. None of the current players on the roster ever have lost a game at home.
After dominating opponents for most of
the regular season,
the Jayhawks' run
came to an abrupt end
with a loss to Rhode
Island in the second
round of the NCAA
tournament.
This season,
Williams must fill the
void left by two All-
Americans
— LaFrentz and Pierce
as well as a prolific three-point shooter and a capable reserve guard.
Williams: Has six returning with starting experience.
PETER R. BAYSEN
Pierce and LaFrentz were first-round NBA draft picks. LaFrentz going to the Denver Nuggets and Pierce to the Boston Celtics. Billy Thomas left Kansas with a school-record 289 three-point shots. Reserve guard C.B. McGrath left after serving four years as a reliable backup.
"It would be silly to think that any team
could replace two players like Raef and Paul," Williams said. "Obviously, we will miss their scoring and rebounding, but we will also miss their leadership and experience."
The Jayhawks head into the 1998-99 season without the preseason year, that has surrounded them in other years, but two senior starters return and the addition of a talented bunch of newcomers will help.
Seniors Ryan Robertson and T.J. Pugh will provide leadership for the young team. Robertson, who is entering his second year as the starting point guard, is the Jayhawks' leading returning scorer with 8.3 points per game and recently was nominated as a preseason candidate for the Wooden All-American team.
Pugh, who has a strong defensive game, returns at forward and is expected to add more of an offensive threat to his game this season.
Sophomore center Eric Chenowith will be a capable replacement for LaFrentz in the paint. Last season, Chenowith averaged 5.9 points a game, 4.9 rebounds a game and set a school freshman record with 62 blocked shots. Chenowith spent the last part of the summer playing in Europe on a Big 12 All-Star basketball team.
Four other Jayhawks return with starting experience.

Sophomore guard Kenny Gregory showed promise as a freshman and averaged 7.1 points a game and will compete for the starting shooting guard position.
Nick Bradford, a junior swingman, can play a variety of positions and will play small forward and shooting guard throughout the season.
Junior Lester Earl is recovering from knee surgery during the summer after making a strong debut. Earl will add athleticism to the squad this year with strong inside play.
The Jayhawks have added five new faces to the team. Redshirt freshman Jeff Carey and junior college transfer Ashante Johnson will give the frontcourt a lift.
Three freshman guard will add depth to the team "McDonald's All-American Jeff Boschee, Marlon London from Broadview, Ill.. and John Crider from Horton.
Once again, Kansas will face a tough regular-season schedule that features a match-up with defending NCAA champion Kentucky at the Great Eight in Chicago, a trip to the Tip-Off Classic in Springfield, Mass., and a game at the John Wooden Classic in Anaheim. Calif.
"I think this is an extremely difficult schedule, one that will certainly challenge our players," Williams said. "I guess we'll wait and see at the end of the season how intelligent or how dumb the head coach was for agreeing to play the schedule."
Practice tips off on Oct. 15 with Late Night and the regular season begins Nov. 13 when the Jayhawks face Gonzaga at home.

Women's basketball team has high hopes for season
By Sam Mellinger
Kansan Sports Writer
Virtually the entire University of Kansas women's basketball team will return this year after one of the most successful seasons in school history.
The Jayhawks finished 23-9 and made it to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA tournament before falling to Arkansas.
Mar. 4-7 Big 12 Tournament
Returning for coach Marian Wash.
Y
Washington:
Returns to an experienced team.
ington's 26th season at Kansas are the team's top eight scorers and top seven rebounders.
"We've been together, and we all feel comfortable playing with each other," said senior Nakia Sanford, the team's second-leading rebounder last year. "Everybody knows their roles, and we know what to expect."
Coach Marian Washington signed freshmen Katie Hannon, Selena Scott, Dameyia Stepney, Kristin Geoffroy and Dalchon Brown.
Pam De Costa also returns to KU this year, replacing assistant coach Tim Eatman, who now is the coach at the University of Illinois-Chicago. De Costa coached at Kansas from 1993 to 1996 before going to Oklahoma.
"She is an exceptional communicator and is able to relate well to the student- athletes." Washington said.
KU's top returners include junior Lynn Pride (14.9 ppg, 6.7 rpg), senior Suzi Raymant (14.1 ppg, 6.0 rpg, 42 percent three-pointers), sophomore Jaclyn Johnson (9.3 ppg, 5.6 rpg), sophomore Jennifer Jackson (9.0 ppg), senior Shandy Robbins (7.2 ppg, 40 percent three-pointers), and Sanford (6.6 ppg, 6.1 rpg).
this is probably the deepest we've been since I've been here."
"We'll be really deep, especially in the post," Sanford said. "Talent-wise,
With almost everybody back, expectations are as high as ever.
"That's what we want. It sets a standard," Sanford said. "A lot of schools, they just want to get into the NCAA tournament, and that's enough for them. Well, now it's gotten to the point that that's what's expected and anything less than that will be a disappointment."
If overconfidence ever becomes a problem, the team can remember its game against Texas last season. The Jayhawks were down 20 points midway through the second half before coming back for a 76-71 win.
"That was a reality check for us," Sanford said. "We had so much talent you start to think 'well, I'm good,' and you think you don't have to work as hard. But on any given night anything can happen, so you have to work hard all the time. If we would have played like that the whole game we would never been down 20."
The Jayhawks probably will not have too many such lapses with Washington's presence at the sideline.
"She can just look at you," Sanford said. "Kind of like your mom or dad, like you know you already messed up. Her intensity, and she's so focused in our games, it makes us stay focused."
So almost everything is in place: experience, depth, scoring and defense. However, when asked to make a prediction, Sanford quickly knocks on wood.
"I don't want to say anything," she said.
But, the look in her eyes shows that she knows what this team can do.
"This is my senior year," she said. "I was part of the first Sweet 16 team, the last Big Eight champion, the first Big 12 champion and the last Sweet 16 team. I've done a lot of things that have never been done before. I feel like already I'm part of history, and I'd like to go out doing something else that's never been done."

needed replacing, and I don't think the defense is going to have any troubles at all this year."
It is not defense or offense that worries Allen — it is depth and inexperience.
Unlike last year, there will be no competition for the top spot at the quarterback position. Wegner, who started six games his sophomore year for the Jayhawks and played in 10, has clinched the starting position at quarterback.
There still is competition to be his backup. Three players are trying to land the spot at backup quarterback, and all three are new to the Jayhawk program — freshman Jonas Weatherble and walk-onns Jay Alexander and Jake Letourneau.
Both Weatherbie and Letourneau are freshmen, but Alexander is a transfer from Independence Junior College, where he did not play football.
Although none of them have played college football, Alexander is the favorite after a stellar high school career at Independence High School, where he was an all-state quarterback.
"We're trying to find somebody who can be a competent backup." Allen said. "All three of the young men who are backups, this is the first time we've coached them. Right now, we're trying to differentiate which one will be the best backup at this point."
According to Wegner, all three have tremendous talent, but Alexander is the front-runner.
"Jay, he's in the two spot right now,
he can get it all done; it's just about
him running our system." Wegner said.
"Jonas and Jake, they're three
and four, and those two are freshman,
and they have a lot to learn."
KANSAS CITY
FOOTBALL
Although the quarterback position contains less depth than last season, other offensive problems from last season have been worked out.
Although injuries and illness plagued last year's receivers, this year's arsenal could be stronger with the return of Harrison Hill and the addition of new players.
Hill, who suffered a broken ankle in the second game last year and was forced to take a medical redshirt, has returned to the Jayhawk line-up to join last year's receivers; sophomores Tanner Hancock and Termaine Fulton and junior Michael Chandler.
"Our unit as a whole are as good as they've been," Hill said. "I think we're more deep that we've ever been. We've got a lot of guys with a lot of talent. I think we all feel pretty strong about our receivers."

But the hottest item in the Jayhawk's receiving corps may be freshman Byron Gasaway, Grandview, Mo., who spent his final two seasons in high school as a quarterback. During his sophomore season in high school as a receiver, he had 30 receptions for 600 yards and is the school record holder in the 100 and 200 meter dashes. His 40-yard dash has been clocked at 4.29 seconds.
"He's got a great amount of talent, but he's still a true freshman," Allen said. "He still has to learn the game
a little bit, but the potential he carries—he's very good.
Although the Jayhawks have significantly improved their receiving corps, they still are without sophomore John Gordon.
Gordon, who took a medical red-shirt last season after being diagnosed with cardiomyopathy and sleep apnea, has not yet been cleared to play this season. More tests will be run in a few weeks.
19
"He's still kind of a long shot," Allen said. "Even if he were to get cleared right now, he's still got to get back in shape. So the reality of him making a contribution this year is probably pretty minimal, but we'd like to keep the option open."

Despite the loss of running back Eric Vann, the backfield is loaded with players that can contribute.
Sophomore David Winbush brings depth into the position after running for 338 yards on 61 attempts last year, which ranked second on the squad behind Vann.
Junior Mitch Bowles Winbush after playing minimally in all 11 games last year, rushing for 165 yards on 20 carries. He also averaged a team-best 8.3 yards a carry.
Kristi Elliott / KANSAN
Senior running back Julius Bruce also adds depth after rushing for 99 yards on 28 carries in six games last season.
"We're looking real good," Winbush said. "We've definitely got a lot of talented running backs that could play at the varsity level."
offense and defense is not what the players are focusing on. According to Winbush, it is team effort and unity that they are striving to achieve.
Allen predicted that 10 of the 12 teams in the Big 12 Conference will be stronger this year, even without perennial powerhouse Nebraska.
But the success of the Kansas football team is not solely in the hands of the players.
"They're a great football team, national champions, but Nebraska might not be as good as they've been in the past—but they're still the best team in the league." Allen said.
The strength of Big 12 teams and the questions surrounding the Jayhawks'
"All we can do is keep reiterating after every game, win or loss, it'a a team effort," Winbush said. "As long as everybody knows in their heart that they went out there and gave it their best and we still came out with a loss, you can't ask for much more."

BIG 12 CONFERENCE
National champions to defend Big 12 title
By Matthew Friedrichs Kansan Sports Editor
DALLAS — Nebraska won the Big 12 Conference's first football national championship with a 42-17 drubbing of Tennessee Jan. 2, 1998, in the FedEx Orange Bowl.
Although Tom Osborne, who coached the Cornhuskers to three national championships in the '90s, has retired, the Big Red machine will try to continue its domination of fellow Big 12 teams and maintain its position as one of the elite teams in the nation.
BIG 12 CONFERENCE
Lurking only an hour from the Nebraska border are the Kansas
State Wildcats, a team that has its best chance in years of competing with the Cornhuskers.
Kansas State won its first-ever Alliance bowl when the team defeated Syracuse 35-18 in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.
And, Nebraska will face other challenges from farther south. Texas A&M will challenge for the conference championship and national honors. The Aggies finished a 9-4 season with a trip to the Cotton Bowl.
Resurgent Oklahoma State also could fight its way into contention for a spot in the Dr Pepper Big 12 Championship on December 5 at the TWA Dome in St. Louis.
The Cowboys have to build on an 8-4 record and a season that ended with a trip to the Alamo Bowl, the team's first bowl game since 1988.
Missouri finished the season at the Plymouth Holiday Bowl, and all five teams finished in the top 25 of Associated Press and USA Today/ESPN Coaches' poll.
New coaches at Nebraska and Texas, Heisman trophy hopefuls in Manhattan, Kan., Columbia, Mo., and Austin, Texas, and growing conference rivalries should make 1998 an exciting season in the Big 12.
Cornhuskers endure change

Coach Frank Solich replaced Tom Osborne, who announced his retirement Dec. 10, 1997, but expectations in Lincoln and across the state of Nebraska remain high.
Osborne coached Nebraska to a national championship in his final game and finished with a 225-49-3 record in his 25 years at Nebraska. He led the team to 25 consecutive bowl games and three national championships in the last four years.

Solich, who was Osborne's assistant for 19 years, has taken the keys to the Big Red machine and

the team was not concerned about Solich's ability to lead the team in his first year.
"The transition has been so smooth that the team has accepted it and is working out harder this summer than any that I can remember," Makovicka said.
Although the offense will have to replace several linemen and quarterback Scott Frost, Josh Heskew, center, will lead the blocking for Makovicka and I-back DeAngelo Evans.
Evans, a Wichita native, did not play last year after suffering an injury in 1996, his freshman season.
His return is an indication of how Nebraska reloads with fresh players each season.
"We have a lot of talent in the backfield, and it's always going to be like that." Makovicka said.
Defensively, Nebraska must replace linemen Grant Wistrom and Jason Peter who were both taken in the first round of the NFL draft.
Mike Rucker is expected to pressure quarterbacks from the right rush end. He had 7.5 sacks and 15 tackles for losses last season.
Cornerback Ralph Brown anchors an experienced secondary.
Despite a new coach and new players at important positions, Nebraska is the favorite to win the Big 12.
If the team can survive the conference and conference championship game without a loss, it once again will speed into a bowl game with national-championship hopes.
Kansas State expects to finish season with perfect record

Skeptics like to question Kansas State's scheduling. The team plays in all directions and states Northern Illinois, Northeast Louisiana and Indiana State, for example.
However, Coach Bill Snyder's strategy of paying smaller teams to come to Manhattan has paid off. The Wildcats will play seven
games at home and only four on the road this fall.
Since arriving and taking control of one of the worst programs in the nation in 1989, Snyder has coached Kansas State to a 66-37-1 record.
His first team went 1-10, but his last five teams have gone to bowl games, winning the Fiesta, Holiday and Copper bowls.
Wildcat fans already are talking about a return to the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, which the team won last season. This year, the No. 1 and No. 2 teams will play for the national championship in the Fiesta Bowl.
Snyder, who has built the program by controlling everything from the team logo to media access and student seating, expressed his
usual interest in playing one team at a time.
"We are just going to do what it is that we need to do with our program whether it relates to scheduling, personnel or anything else in our program." Snyder

Snyder: Starts his 10th season with the Wildcats.
said. "Sometimes we can control it all, and if we can, we are going to to. If we can't, then so be it. I'm not going to sit back and worry about it."
He does acknowledge that he has
been building a team that he expects to improve every game and every season.
To step out of the role of regional phenom and assume the position of national contender, the Wildcats have to beat Nebraska.
The game between the two teams on Nov. 14 could determine the eventual conference champion and have national-championship implications.
The Wildcats have not beaten Nebraska since 1968.
The veteran team has its best chance of winning in recent history. Quarterback Michael Bishop is elusive with a strong arm and could be the difference in a close game with the defending national champions.
Last season, Bishop led the team to its first 11-win season, and he said the Wildcats could beat Nebraska.
"We have a good chance," Bishop said. We have a lot of players who didn't start last year but have a lot of game experience.
"We have to focus on one game and take one game at a time and not look ahead. Looking at the big picture, if we can go to the Nebraska game and everyone stays healthy and everyone does their job, then we could walk away from there with a win."
Kansas State linebackers Travis Ochs, Mark Simoneau and Jeff Kelly are among the best in the nation. They also could lead the team to a perfect or near-perfect
season.
Ochs said, "It's 11 guys who really want to go out and shut down people."
The team has progressed from the 1-10 days when Nebraska and Oklahoma routinely run over hapless defenders.
"We have a lot of speed and a lot of athletic ability that we haven't always had in the past." Ochs said. "We take great pride in going out there and shutting people down."
Wildcat fans are looking for a perfect season. Kansas State will have to play perfectly to beat Nebraska and have a shot at the national title, but if the team performs, Bill Snyder will not be taking heat for the state of his team, or the direction in which he has led it.

Colorado Coach Rick Neuheisel has an impressive record of 25-10 in his first three years as coach.
But six of the 10 losses came last year when the Buffalooes lost five conference games and finished tied for fourth with Kansas in the Northern Division of the Bier 12 Conference.
Even the three-point loss in

the team's final game of the season to event u a l national champion Nebraska did not assuage the team's feelings about the season.
Neuheisel: Begins season against instate rival.
"Unfortunately
when you have a season like we experienced last year, it takes a while to get that taste out of your mouth," Neuheisel said. "You have to wait until you can play again."
Colorado plays again Sept. 5 in Denver against in-state rival Colorado State.
The Buffaloes and Neuheisel will look to avoid the mistakes they made last year and return to the winning form of previous seasons.

This spring, every position was up for grabs and competi-
"It was open season for everybody." Chiaverini said. "Even when we weren't wearing shoulder pads, we had people going over the middle getting creamed."
Navies agreed.
"This was the most competitive spring ball I've ever been a part of at Colorado," Navies said.
But spring practice does not count. Although the Buffaloos do not play Michigan during the nonconference schedule, the team does open with Colorado State, play Kansas State in Boulder and finish at Nebraska.
"The Colorado State game means a lot for our program," Navies said. "It means a lot as far as setting the tone for our season.
"Obviously, they're going to be ranked ahead of us. We have a lot to prove to the nation that we are back as Colorado football," he said.
Missouri ends 14-year drought

Missouri traveled to its first bowl game since a trip to the Holiday Bowl in 1983 as fourth-year coach Larry Smith directed the Tigers to their first winning season in 14 years.
Not only did the Tigers qualify for the Plymouth Holiday Bowl in 1997, but they came within a fluke play of beating Nebraska — a game that the team lost in overtime.
"I have never seen so many people get excited over a 7-4 season," Smith said. "These people have waited 13 years for all of this."
Enthusiasm for the team was contagious in Columbia.
Smith hopes to turn last season's wins into success in recruiting.
"The momentum of the season and our exposure has helped tremendously," Smith said. "We were able to get more respect in Texas, Florida and Illinois when we went to some
A. R. C.
homes. We also came away with some pretty good football players."
Veteran players who now have experienced winning also will lead Missouri's continued quest for football respect.
Smith: Has his most experienced team in several years.
"This is the most experienced team we've had in a few years," Smith said. "We'll average about two years of experience on defense and about 2.5 years of experience on offense."
Of course, high school players will not be the only ones aware of the Tigers' new-found confidence.
The close loss to Nebraska and Missouri's winning season can only draw the attention of this season's opponents, said Barry Odom, inside linebacker.
"After you have won, you can't sneak up on people," he said. "They will be looking at us and be ready for the Missouri week."
Quarterback Corby Jones will have special motivation to succeed his senior season.
His father, Curtis Jones, was a Missouri alumnus and assistant football coach. He died in late July.
Despite the personal loss, Jones
"The momentum of the
"The momentum of the season and our exposure has helped tremendously. We were able to get more respect in Texas, Florida and Illinois when we went to some homes. We also came away with some pretty good football players."
Larry Smith Missouri coach
will attack other teams with his running and passing ability. Last season, he almost singelaidly pulled Missouri to an upset win against Nebraska.
Jones appears on the cover of the Missouri media guide and on a promotional poster doing the Heisman pose.
"He is probably the best athlete I've ever coached and is an incredible competitor." Smith said.
If he and Smith can guide the Tigers to another successful season with an upset against Nebraska or Texas A&M, he might move from long-shot candidate to full-blow contender for the award given to the nation's best collegiate player, and Missouri could be bowling again.

Dan McCarney's teams have won only six games in his three season coach at Iowa State.
In Ames, where people paid more attention to basketball coach Tim Floyd's prospects of coaching the Chicago Bulls than they did to anything regarding the football team, McCarny had to make a move to improve, and
He recruited 18 junior college transfers to plug the gaps and to add depth to a team that last year only beat Baylor and finished last in the Northern Division.
"We have bottomed out and now have a foundation built out of rock instead of sand," McCarney said.
That foundation has come from hardening players during off-season conditioning and workouts.
Linebacker Dave Brcke said the transfers were not a threat to
"We have 85 kids in town and have been working hard in the weight room to keep becoming more physical," McCarney said. "We have concentrated more on speed and overall size improvements since last season rather than conditioning, and we can get the conditioning done in these three and a half weeks before the season starts."

"We will have a legitimate Division I defense for the first time, this year, and the junior college kids give us some depth," McCar
ney said. "We won't have people playing 80-85 snaps and have their tongues hanging down to the ground at the end of the game."
Offensively, tailback Darren Davis returns to full speed for the Cyclones. Davis gained 1,005 yard in only seven and a half games last season.
Quarterback Todd Bandhauer returns from a solid season. The Academic All-Big 12 player threw for 2,514 yards. Both he and Davis must avoid injury for Iowa State to compete successfully.
"There's a lot of difference in our offense if both Bandy (Bandhauer) and I stay healthy," Davis said.
"A football program takes a long time to rebuild, and every year we've improved talent wise," Brcka said.
The Cyclones have nowhere to go but up.

his players to prepare themselves.
"We are not going to roll out there and be in awe of Florida State." Slocum said. "We have a tremendous respect for them."
Dat Nguyen, Aggie linebacker and defensive leader, welcomes the challenge.
"It's going to be good for us," Nguyen said. "Especially for me and the senior class. We are down to a fair amount of games in our colle
glate career. It's another one that you get to play."
Last year, the Aggies won state bragging rights and a chance to play Nebraska with a 27-16 victory against the Longhorns at home, but this year, they must win on the road.
The challenge for Texas A&M, will be for all teams that play Texas, will be to contain running back Ricky Williams.
"He might be the best athlete I've played against," Nguyen said.
If the Aggles survive their difficult schedule and win consecutive Southern Division titles, they will have to face the winner of the Northern Division in the championship game in St. Louis.
Despite a loss to Nebraska in the championship game last year, quarterback Branndon Stewart said the team could compete if it qualified for the game.
"We want to prove that the South has some good teams." Stewart said.
The Aggies are favored to win the South, but like most coaches, Slocum is not a big believer in predictions.
"We recognize what those things are this time of year, just predictions," Slocum said.
He touts the other teams the Aggies will have to play in the coming months.
"I think it's going to be competitive, and I certainly don't see us being way out in front of anybody in the South," Slocum said. "I think we are right in there with them. There are two or three teams that could easily win."

Oklahoma State had not been to a bowl game since 1988 when running back Barry Sanders and receiver Hart Lee Dykes led the Cowboys offense.
But third-year coach Bob Simmons had a plan for the 1997 season. After surprising Big 12 opponents Texas and Colorado and the rest of the nation with a six-game winning streak at the opening of the season, Oklahoma capped off the season with a trip to the Builders Square Alamo Bowl.
The season-ending loss could not dampen spirits in Stillwater, and it did not contribute to Simmons nearly fatal illness — he received a kidney transplant 10 days before spring practice.
Last season's miracles are behind him, and the Cowboys have higher
goals now.

The sophomore earned Big 12 Offensive Freshman of the Year honors by passing for 1,172 yards, nine touchdowns and only three interceptions in his first nine games.
Oklahoma State will be challenged early. The team plays Nebraska Oct. 3 in Kansas City, Mo.
"I have to keep improving." Lindsay said. "I don't expect that just for me but from the whole team as well."
Simmons will look for the best in his returning starters and his new players to prove that last season was not a fluke.

Mack Brown has taken the steer by the horns at one of the nation's most storied football programs, but it does not take an experienced cowboy to know what ___
nation's most storied robotic program an experienced cowboy to know what Texas has to do to be successful this year.
"There are signs in Austin that say,
'Give it to Ricky 40 times Mack, you idiot'
"Brown said.
And the new Longhops coach, who won 10 games in each of his last two seasons at North Carolina, does not disagree with the advice.
Ricky Williams is a leading candidate for the Heisman trophy. His decision not to skip his senior season for the NFL draft and his running ability could carry Texas, one of the

winningest all-time programs with 717 victories, back above 500 and to a bowl game.
Brown knows that the pressure to win will be intense because fans have scrutinized his every move since he arrived in the state.
He made it clear immediately that the seniors were part of the plan.
One of those seniors, Dusty Renfro, said the confidence and commitment of the new coaching staff was evident right away.
Brown: Begins his first season with the Longhorns.
Williams, who returned without any coaxing by Brown, has seen the change too.
ins coaching staff is a lot younger and more intense in everything we do as far as practicing and working out, and I think that is the biggest difference." Williams said.
Brown has his players aiming for the top, starting with a first-place finish in the Southern Division of the conference.
Even with Williams, however, Texas will be challenged. An inexperienced quarterback and a defense that allowed more than 400 vards a game last year could hurt the team.
Brown is confident that he can round up enough talent to compete and eventually have a shot at the national championship.
"When you win the Big 12 Championship, it puts you in a position to win the national championship," Brown said. "And that is something that every conference in the country would like to have."

Despite scandals that hit the Texas Tech athletics department and football program last year. Coach Spike Dykes continues to entertain an audience — and field team.
Donnie Hart, split end, is familiar with his coach's irreverent style.
"He's a one-liner waiting to happen." Hart said.
Not only did the Red Raiders end the season with an NCAA investigation looming overhead. they also lost their season finale 21-23 to Oklahoma.
"When you lose the last game that you play, you are no better than your last game." Dykes said. "My Lord, it's been a long time since that last game."
This season, Dykes is optimis.

tic about the schedule — at least early in the season.
"We don't play Nebraska, we don't play KState, and we don't play Kansas," Dykes said. "That's good."
Dykes: Says "That's good" to not play-ing Kansas.
The Red
The Red Raiders, however, finish the season with a brutal six games. Oklahoma State visits Lubbock before Tech travels to Colorado and Texas A&M. Missouri and Texas visit town and then Tech finishes on the road at Oklahoma.
"We've got to focus on winning that first game against UTEP." Hart said. "We didn't win any of those big games against Tennessee or Kansas State, but we also haven't beat UTEP or Fresno State either."
To avoid another bittersweet season, Dykes will need a solid effort from his team and a stellar coaching effort, and he knows it.

homa or he has amazing confl
dence in his returning players.
"I want these guys to win, and I want our fans to be rewarded." Blake said.
Blake, who lettered four-times while playing noseguard for the Sooners, has reinstituted one of Oklahoma's most revered traditions — the wishbone offense with a quarterback and three backs in the backfield
The front of the Oklahoma media guide proudly proclaims, "The Bone is Back."
The move suits the players fine and should benefit Demond Parker, who averaged 5.9 yards a carry while rushing for 1,143 yards last season.
The Soomers defense will play an attack-oriented 4-defense.
Blake intends to resume coaching defensive linemen, after two years of delegating all position coaching to his assistants. But will it be enough? Miscues and poor special teams hurt Oklahoma last season in a close loss to Kansas.
The Sooners lost five games by a total of 16 points.
Despite doubts and a projected fifteenth place finish in the Big 12 South, Blake and his players have the strut of a national title contender.
"We have a chance or can win every game on our schedule," Blake said.

successful season, even when one of those wins came against the storied Texas Longhorns.
Baylor would be the Iowa State of the Big 12 Conference Southern Division, but Baylor won twice as many games as the Cyclones last season.
Second-year coach Dave Roberts said he hoped the team played better this season.
"We want to be consistent," Roberts said. "The first game will be big for anyone's program, but more so for us because of our season last year."
The Bears cannot be accused of ducking competition. Last season, the team's nonconference schedule included Miami and co-national champions Michigan and Nebraska. This season, Baylor plays at Notre Dame.
"That was amazing last season.
playing Nebraska and Miami in the same year," Roberts said. "We've tried to say to our players that we need consistency every week to be competitive because we are seeing great teams all the time."
Roberts: Calls consistency the key to a competitive season.
The consistently tough schedule would be good for the players in the
long run, said Dwight Johnson,
defensive end.
hard games did prepare the team
for one game last season — Texas.
"It was the highlight of the season and made us think we could play with anyone in the Big 12." Johnson said. "That brightened the season for us because before that game we had been playing in a shadow."
"We still have a lot to learn," said Derrius Thompson, wide receiver. "We might not run as many plays as in the past. Instead, we'll concentrate on executing the few we know."
Whether Roberts can crack the clouds and let in more light for his team remains to be seen.

Big 12 covers eight states, multitude of sports
By Sam Mellinger
Kansan Sports Writer
The Big 12 Conference was born in 1994 when the former Big Eight Conference joined forces with four schools from the defunct Southwest Conference.
Upon the league's inception, two divisions were formed. Competing against Kansas in the Northern Division are Colorado, Iowa State, Kansas State, Missouri and Nebraska. Baylor, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas A&M and Texas Tech compete in the Southern Division.
The conference was formed largely to become a football powerhouse, and, during its first two years, member schools have finished in the final USA Today Coaches' Poll Top 25 nine times, including Nebraska's No.1 finish last year.
This year, Nebraska and Kansas State both are consensus Top 10 preseason football picks.
Athletic success has not been limited to the gridiron, as Big 12 schools have won four other national championships since 1996.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Jaeson Maravich, the 18-year-old son of the late basketball great "Pistol Pete" Maravich, will play for Alabama as a walk-on.
"I know the Maravich family through a mutual friend, and Jaeson and his mom, Jackie, got in touch with me," said Crimson Tide coach Mark Gottfried. "They came to visit and liked Alabama very much. Jaeson is a great kid and a very good student, and we will give him a chance."
The 6-foot-5 Maravich averaged 17 points and six rebounds as a senior at St. Paul's High School in Covington, La., two seasons ago. Hoping to hone his skills and get a Division I scholarship, he transferred to New Hampton Prep School in New Hampshire last year, but a back injury forced him to miss the entire season.
His father averaged 44.3 points per game during his career at Louisiana State and holds several scoring records — including the most points,
69, scored in a single game against Alabama at Coleman Coliseum in Tuscaloosa. He was named one of the NBA's 50 greatest players for its first 50 years.
The elder Maravich died in 1988 of heart failure when Jason was 8. A younger son, Josh Maravich, will be a sophomore at St. Paul's this season.
Jaeson Maravich said he knew that expectations came with the Maravich name.
"You really can't escape the comparisons," he said. "I've just learned how to deal with it."
He said his father's legacy at LSU was a factor but not the biggest one in his decision to play somewhere else.
"I wanted to be close to home, but not quite that close," he said.
not quite that close, he said.
He said he has watched his father's highlights and has tried the drills on his workout video tapes.
"He does a lot of stuff that's still pretty amazing to me," Jason Maravich said. "You think, 'I can't do that,' but then you realize that nobody else can do it either."

Intramural program offers sports smorgasbord
By Dan Forguson Kansan Sportswriter
Imagine directing Terry Allen's offense in front of a packed Memorial Stadium crowd or feeding Lester Earl for a monster jam to put the Allen Field House faithful into a frenzy.
The University of Kansas intramural sports program may not be able to provide people with a packed stadium or a ferocious 6-foot-10 basketball-dunking machine, but every semester it gives students the opportunity to compete in a safe and fun athletic environment on campus.
"Our goal is to provide at least one activity during the school year that appeals to every student," said Jason Krone, intramural sports director.
Every year, KU students can compete against one another in both team and individual competitions. Each sport is broken into divisions based on criteria such as gender, competitive desire and place of residence.
Each intramural team sport is
organized into three leagues:
men, women and co-rec.
Fred Souder, Bartlesville,
Oklahoma, graduate student, plays
softball, football, basketball,
volleyball and team handball.
"The bottom line is having fun," Souder said. "That's the point of having intramurals."

Playoff brackets for the men's and women's leagues are based on place of residence. The three divisions are greek, open and residence hall.
Any eligible KU student can participate in open divisions.
Students participating in the greek division must be an undergraduate member of the fraternity of sorority that they are representing.
All enrolled students and employed faculty and staff are eligible to participate in any intramural activity. A player is limited to one team per division during each sport.
People must be living in the residence they represent to participate in the residence-hall division.

four-team pools.
Kristi Elliott / KANSAN
Each team plays three games, once against each of the teams in the pool.
A single elimination tournament follows the season. Each team is guaranteed a minimum of four games, including the three round-robin games and one playoff game.
Students also may participate
In singles, doubles and mixed doubles competition, players are allowed to compete in either the "A" or "B" class.
The "A" class is for students who want to be more competitive, while the "B" class is designed for recreation purposes.
Any player found to be playing
under an assumed name will immediately be barred from all intramural-sports competition. The same punishment will be issued to any player, coach or spectator that is ejected from any intramural contest.
To avoid problems, KU intramurals has outlined a strict sportsmanship policy for all activities. During intramural contests, officials will use a yellow- and red-card system most often seen in soccer.
The cards will be used to warn and or eject individuals, teams, spectators and organizations from intramural competition.
"We are really trying to focus on sportsmanship this year," Krone said. "We're trying to send the message that intramuurs are just for fun and that it's just a game."
The program also will recognize those teams displaying excellent sportsmanship. During each team-sport season, up to three teams can receive recognition for excellent sportsmanship.
The program will waive the
entry fee for those teams for the next sport in which they participate.
"We don't want to just focus on the negative side of sportsmanship," Krone said. "We'd like to recognize the people who do the good thing and are a model of the program."
Intramural activities start soon after the semester begins with sports such as flag football, sand volleyball, soccer, floor hockey and volleyball.
A Labor Day weekend softball tournament also has been planned.

LSU waits for a decision by NCAA about sanctions for recruitment of Earl
www.raven.ukans.edu/~reserv.
The Associated Press
BATON ROUGE, La. — Athletic officials at LSU now are waiting for the NCAA to assess sanctions regarding the recruitment of former Tiger basketball player Lester Earl.
University representatives returned from Seattle on Sunday after presenting their case to the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions. More than eight hours of hearings were held as the panel delved into accusations of recruiting violations and unethical conduct.
games.
LSU Chancellor William Jenkins said he was cautiously optimistic that the NCAA would not impose stiffer penalties than those the school already had recommended. LSU has offered to reduce scholarships and official visits but has asked to remain eligible for postseason play and televised
Jenkins said the school was bracing for sanctions of some kind but would retain the option to appeal if officials deem the sanctions too severe.
The NCAA closed its investigation, which means that the group cannot come back at LSU with new charges or evidence before the infractions committee makes a decision. Jenkins said.
"I am eager to get this behind us so our basketball program can move forward," Jenkins said.
Jenkins said the infractions committee would review the case for about a week. Another three weeks will be needed to write a report and issue sanctions. The NCAA will inform Jenkins of its decision, and the report will be released to the public the following day. That probably will occur during the second or third week of September, Jenkins said.
The LSU basketball program has had a complete turnover of coaches and players since Earl played during the 1996-97 season before transferring to Kansas.
Former LSU assistant coach Johnny Jones, now an assistant at Memphis, is accused of making about $6,000 in cash payments to Earl before and after his enrollment. LSU has contested that allegation.
LSU has admitted to other allegations, such as Earl receiving improper medical treatment before he enrolled; Jones making a number of improper telephone calls to Earl during his recruitment; an LSU team physician arranging surgery for Earl's brother; a booster, Dr. Redfield Bryan, paying Earl $2,000; and Earl and members of his family receiving a free meal by Baton Rouge restaurant owner Gus Piazza.

Wildcats face prospect of NCAA sanctions
Booster's present casts shadows on Sept. 5 game
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN, Kan. — The Kansas State Wildcats are awaiting their first NCAA penalty of the Bill Snyder era.
After completing an internal investigation into the matter of running back Frank Murphy's car and imposing a penalty on itself, the Wildcats can only hope the NCAA does not insist on anything stiffer for last season's national junior college player of the year.
Snyder declined to say what
penalty the school had put on itself.
"I'm really not at liberty to address any of it until the process is completed," he said. "I think it's got to be pretty quick. I would guess it should be finalized within maybe a 10- or 14-day period. When it is, I'll be happy to share what I can."
The Wildcats, with 18 returning starters from last year's 11-1 team, open against Indiana State on Sept. 5 and could challenge for national honors if they are not slapped at the outset by a severe NCAA sanction.
The problem arose after Murphy signed with the Wildcats from Garden City last spring. A Kansas State booster was accused of helping to furnish him with a car.
Sources have said the school
hoped for nothing more than a two-game suspension for Murphy, who rushed for 1,370 yards and 26 touchdowns last season for Garden City. He also had 17 receptions for 266 yards and four touchdowns.
BASSELL
Murphy: Waits for NCAA ruling on violation.
The 6-foot-1-inch, 205-pound Florida native was named a firstteam All-American by the National Junior College Athletic Association. He led his team to the national junior college championship game, where he was voted MVP after
rushing for 115 yards and two touchdowns.
If Murphy does not have to sit out a large portion of the season, he and senior quarterback Michael Bishop, the MVP in last January's Fiesta Bowl, could give the Wildcats an explosive one-two offensive punch.
Snyder refused to speculate about what the NCAA might do.
Kansas State encountered NCAA problems several times during the 1960s and 1970s. During the past nine seasons, however, as Snyder built the Wildcats from consistent losers into a national power, there never has been a hint of NCAA scandal.
"I just hope that it's right," he said. "Whatever is right, that's the way it should be. I would be uncomfortable saying (more) at this particular time just because the process hasn't been completed yet."
With enthusiasm among Kansas State fans at an all-time high, Snyder said he was worried about boosters getting out of control and causing trouble.
"It bothers me," he said. "We all like to find some positives out of the bad things that take place, I'd like to think the positive here is that it sends a pretty clear message and warning to our constituents across the state that this is what can happen when somebody gets overzealous. And it's detrimental to our university, and our program and our young people.
"Do I worry about it? Yes, frequently."
New system seeks to better decide national champions
Associated Press
You have got your BYUs, FSUs, LSUs, OSUs,
TCUs and UCLAs. In college football, though,
there is now only one set of letters that matters
— BCS or Bowl Championship Series.
It is a new and improved version of the bowl alliance that moves the sport closer to crowning a clear-cut champion without a playoff system.
"I think it's a move forward," said Penn State coach Joe Paterno. "I hope it proves it can give us a meaningful championship game every year. And I think it's got a good chance to do it." It just might
The Rose Bowl is aboard for the first time, so are the Big 10 and Pac-10 conferences. And do not forget the complicated new plan devised to guarantee for the first time a No.1 vs. No.2 match-up in the final bowl game of the season
All 112 Division I-A teams now have a chance,
however slight, to end up in the BCS title game.
The Rose joins the Fiesta, Sugar and Orange bowls in the BCS lineup, while the Big 10 and Pac-10 conferences join the Atlantic Coast, Big East, Big 12 and Southeastern conferences.
Florida coach Steve Spurrier still wants a playoff but says the new system is better than before.
"Why they don't get 16 teams and start playing at the end of the season amazes me,"
Spurrier said. "This is sort of a fancy way of doing it the old way, but at least it's better than what we had in the past. At least everyone is eligible in one way or another to get to that game."
The BCS will determine which teams play in its championship game — this season it is the Jan. 4 Fiesta Bowl — with a complex point system based on polls, computer rankings, strength-of-schedule and won-loss records. The BCS then will designate six other teams for its three remaining bowls.
In all, eight teams qualify for the series. The six conference champions receive automatic bids, along with two at large teams.
"I think it's the best we're going to get for the next seven years," Florida State coach Bobby Bowden said, referring to the $525 million, seven-year deal the BCS signed with ABC, which will televise the four-bowl series.
Even with all the changes, the question still remains: Will the Bowl Championship Series be able to eliminate the almost annual 'Who's No. 1' controversy?
"It's not a perfect system, and we'll continue to evaluate ways to improve it," said Roy Kramer, BCS coordinator and commissioner of the SEC. "We've taken all the basic elements people use to evaluate teams and folded them in to put the best possible system together. It gives us the best opportunity to put the best two teams on the field, without a playoff."
Kramer, who began working on the new plan two years ago when the Rose Bowl first agreed to join the alliance, said although there still were critics calling for a playoff, the BCS addressed many problems.
"We couldn't match up Penn State and Nebraska a few years ago or Michigan and Nebraska last year because of Rose Bowl commitments." he said.
"We've attempted to address a way to evaluate teams with equal records at the end of the season other than just a subjective poll," he said. "That's why we're looking at the strength-of-schedule, and if a team argues about not getting in, sooner or later they will have to admit they were hurt by the schedule."
Previously, The Associated Press media poll and the USA Today/ESPN coaches' poll were the major factors in determining bowl matchups. Under the new system, the polls count only for 25 percent.
But there is still a chance for split national champions. That has happened three times in the '90s, including last season when Michigan was No.1 in the AP poll and Nebraska topped the coaches' poll.
The coaches' poll, where the ballots are secret, will crown the winner of the BCS title game as its national champion, no matter what happens in the other bowl games. Voters in the AP poll, where the ballots are made public, can consider
"We've taken all the basic elements people use to evaluate teams and folded them in to put the best possible system together."
Bowl Championship Series Coordinator
Roy Kramer
other teams for No.1 just as they have in the past.
Say, for example, that three teams were undefeated at the end of the season, and the title game is a ho-hum affair, while the third unbeaten team wins convincingly. In the AP media poll, that third team still could win the national title, while only the winner of the BCS' top game can win the coaches' poll.
The biggest winners are the Pac-10 and Big 10 — those teams now can aim for a national title. Until Michigan won the AP title last year, the last team from those conferences to win a national championship was Southern California in 1978.
UCLA coach Bob Toledo said: "I'm not sitting here beating my chest saying we're going to win the national championship. I think it a realistic goal, and it's good to have a chance."
WSU coach assistant self-report violations
The Associated Press
The school will report itself to the Missouri Valley Conference, which will relay the report to the NCAA.
WICHITA—Wichita State University's new women's basketball coach and one of his assistants unwittingly committed two NCAA violations by attending an all-star game last week, the school said.
Darlene Bailey, senior associate athletics director, said Wichita State likely would punish itself by taking away two of the 40 days allowed for evaluating prospects.
Coach Darryl Smith and assistant Brad Rustan attended the Kansas Basketball Coaches Association all-star game Aug. 5 at Topeka.
NCA4 rules prohibit contact with or evaluation of prospects during a "quiet" period. Aug. 1 through Sept. 8 is one of four quiet periods during this academic year.
Three signed by Wichita State — LaToya Jackson of Wichita East, Ashley Stephens of Wichita Heights and Amber Krumbholz of Overland Park-St. Thomas Aquinas — played in the all-star game.
But several who played in the game still are unsigned by any college, technically making them Wichita State prospects.
Smith, who came to Wichita State on June 10 from Metro State in Denver, said he attended the game to show his three signees "the proper attention," because he did not see them play in the Sunflower State Games.
Wichita State also committed a violation when it allowed Rustan to accompany Smith to the game.
Rustan, who joined Smith's staff last month, has not taken a certification exam that every coach must pass before recruiting off-campus.

NCAA strikes out against metal bats
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — College baseball players will use less powerful bats in the 2000 season because of rules the NCAA Executive Committee has approved.
Citing concerns that metal alloy bats work too well, the committee changed the rules Wednesday to make the bats perform more like traditional wooden bats.
Samuel H. Smith, chairman of the NCAA Executive Committee, which approved the changes, said the potential for injury to a defensive player was real and serious.
The changes, which take effect Aug. 1, 1999, limit the size of the bat. The rules, which include making the bats narrower, are intended to make sure the ball does not leave the bat at any greater speed than 93 mph. The bats being used now send the ball into the field at speeds of up to 113 mph.
Advances in design and metalurgy in the 1990s have led to bats that send the ball rocketing into the field. That, critics say, has destroyed the character of the college game and put fielders in leopardy.
The NCAA's Baseball Rules Committee recommended the changes and set January 1999 as the effective date.
Smith said that was too soon. "We need to be sure we will have the bats available," he said.
Steve Baum, whose company makes a bat that combines the durability of metal with the less explosive properties of wood, called the delay a cop-out.
"It allows one more year of unsafe conditions for the kids," said Baum, president of Baum Research and Development Co.
Scott Christ, chief executive officer of KC Slammer, which makes wooden bats, also questioned the decision to wait.
"I was a little bit surprised on the delay since they basically acknowledged that they know the bats are dangerous," he said.
"If that is the case, why the delay? You hope it's not so that Easton can liquidate their inventory," he said.
Easton Sports Inc., maker of a popular line of alloy bats, stands to lose millions in sales.
"No one wants to buy a bat today that cannot be used next year," said James Easton, company chairman.
He said the decision to wait gave his company breathing room.
Easton is suing the NCAA for $267 million, charging restraint of trade and collusion with Baum's company, which Easton says makes the only bat that meets the new specifications. Baum also made the machine that the NCAA used to test the speed of batted balls.
Smith said the committee did not discuss the potential effect on Easton Sports and that the lawsuit was not a major factor in the decision.
Baum is suing Easton and two other bat-makers, charging antitrust violations.
Easton said that the alloy bats were no more dangerous than other types and that he hoped the NCAA could be persuaded to change its mind after reviewing evidence compiled from tests by an independent scientist.
"We really think the solution can only be found through sound scientific analysis," Easton said.
Many cite this year's College World Series championship game as an example of how offense-oriented the game has become in the era of alloy bats. Southern Cal defeated Arizona State 21-14 in that game.
"Is it the bats or is it the bigger, stronger players?" Easton asked. "I think there's some of each."
College baseball tournament plans expansion to 64 teams
The Associated Press
OMAHA, Neb. — With college baseball anxious to improve its credibility and expand its fan base, the NCAA apparently has found a way to do both at the same time.
Coaches and administrators Thursday hailed the expansion of the NCAA tournament from 48 to 64 teams and welcomed news that powerful aluminum bats were made to perform more like wooden bats.
Meeting Wednesday in Chicago, the NCAA's Board of Directors approved expansion of college baseball regionals. The extra week for additional games pushes next year's College World Series to June 11.
"I haven't talked to anyone who isn't excited about these improvements," said Wake Forest athletics director Ron Wellman, chairman of the NCAA baseball committee.
NCAA
Expansion will allow automatic bids for each major conference and create 16 four-team regions. Prevl
ously, there were eight regionals, with each winner advancing to the College World Series in Omaha.
With the new format, regional winners would advance to eight two team "super-regionalists" June 4-5. The winners go to Omaha.
Although the CWS field will remain at eight, the expanded tournament allows the NCAA to stage additional regionals in parts of the country that typically have not held regionals.
For years, college baseball has been dominated by schools from warm-weather states such as Arizona, California, Florida, Louisiana and Texas. Wellman said officials wanted to make the sport more popular elsewhere.
"With an expanded bracket, we
can select more teams," Wellman said. "We can make it more of national game."
The decision also offers hope for good teams that have long struggled behind the dominant schools in each conference.
"We're in a similar situation as some of the Southeastern Conference teams," said Pat Casey, Oregon State coach. "You can be a pretty good team in the SEC and still finish sixth."
Pending is a measure that would delay the start of the season by up to three weeks. Coaches at northern schools, where teams often practice indoors early in the season, argue the move is the next step toward increased national parity.
"When you're recruiting a kid and he asks about the weather, you can't lie," said Nebraska coach Dave Van Horn.
In the last decade, only three n- southern schools — Creighton in 1991. Kansas in 1993 and Wichita
State, five times — have advanced to Omaha.
NCAA officials said they hoped the restrictions on bat performance would make college baseball safer for players and more palatable for fans
Southern California beat Arizona State 21-14 in this year's championship game. The four-hour marathon featured five pitchers on each team serving up a batting practice that produced 39 hits — nine of those hits home runs.
"Coaches included, nobody wants to see an 18-6 game," said Arizona coach Jerry Stitt. "With the changes to the bats, I think you'll see more strategy come into play: more hit-and-runs and more defense."
The NCAA also approved tournament expansion for four other sports; softball (from 32 to 48 teams), women's volleyball (from 56 to 64), soccer (from 32 to 48), and men's and women's cross country (from 184 national qualifiers to 25).
Despite father's death, Missouri star returns
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Corby Jones is back in a Missouri uniform, but there is no denying that this year will be different for him.
"Corby knows that the worst part's not over with yet because he hasn't been out there to practice and look over to the sideline and see that his dad isn't there," said running back Devin West, a fellow senior and one of Jones' closest friends. "Once he gets over that, I think he'll be fine."
Jones attended media day with the team Wednesday and practiced for the first time this season Thursday. It is his first time back in uniform since his father, assistant coach Curtis Jones, died July 26 of a heart attack.
Jones enters his senior season as one of the nation's most heralded quarterbacks. But instead of casual chatting about high hopes and lofty expectations, as is normally the case when reporters and players gather on the eve of the first full-squid workouts, Jones opened a part of his personal life for inspection.
When his father, Curtis Jones, a popular assistant coach at Missouri for 10 years, died at age 55, Corby's life was tossed about violently. Curtis called most of the players "son," and his easy smile and cordial nature, as well his ability as a personal counselor, were important parts of the football foundation at Missouri.
100
He never boasted about his son's talent or exploits, expressing his pride in a
Jones: Enters sea son as standout quarterback.
quiet, dignified way. And he always insisted that on the field, they were coach and player, nothing more.
But he and Corby enjoyed a special bond; they were the best of friends, as well as father and son. In the numbing hours after his dad's unexpected death, Corby wondered seriously whether he would be able to return to the game
that they had shared and loved, always together.
Coach Larry Smith's squad will have three days of double workouts in Columbia before returning to Lexington, Mo., where they will work for a week in close quarters at Wentworth Military Academy.
Missouri is coming off its first winning season and bowl trip since 1983. The Tigers went 7-5 last season, but they are facing a tougher schedule and some vital personnel losses.
The catalyst, once again, must be Jones. After smashing many school records as a junior, when he was voted to the All-Big 12 Conference first team, he begins his third season as a starter in good physical shape. And his mental shape?
"I'm doing OK, doing OK," assured Jones, less than two weeks after his father's funeral. "I've got some things that I need to work through and that I need to deal with on my own."
West said, "Right now, Corby's in his own world. He knows that it's going to be hard for him ... I think he knows that he can do it, and he knows what his dad wants him to do."

San Diego Chargers turning over new Leaf
The Associated Press
SAN DIEGO — Ryan Leaf was not shaking on opening night.
The rookie quarterback looked poised in leading the San Diego Chargers to a 27-21 exhibition against the San Francisco 49ers on Aug. 8. Leaf threw for one touchdown and completed 70 percent of his passes.
"I was anxious to get out there. It's been since Jan. 1," Leaf said, whose previous game was with Washington
State against Michigan in the Rose Bowl. Since then, Leaf was the second pick overall in the draft and has become a millionaire.
"I was tired of all the hoopla and talk," Leaf said. "It's finally time now to get down to business and play football instead of having
people talk about it. And that was the fun part about it."
C4
Leaf said the radio receiver in his helmet, which coaches use to call in plays, did not work the first two series. He managed the problem with help from his teammates and quarterback coach June Jones, who told him to have three or four plays memorized.
"I think he surprised a lot of people with how composed he was," guard Raleigh McKenzie said. "We went three-and-out the first series, then he got real poised. He knew what to do in there."
Even though it was a game that did not count, the fans, who watched an atrocious 4-12 team in 1997, finally saw why
"I wanted an 18-for-20 performance, but I didn't get it," Leaf said. "I'm just happy with the way everybody helped me. They made the 14-for-20 performance. It wasn't too much of what I did. Four or five of those catches were snags
San Diego invested so heavily in Leaf. He threw a three-yard fade pass to Bryan Still to take a 14-0 lead in the second quarter. Leaf finished his two quarters of work completing 14 of his 20 passes for 116 yards. He was not sacked and threw no interceptions.

bringing books.
"I didn't give him a very good throw," Leaf said. "I left it short. He went up and made a great grab."
The credit goes to Still, but the ball's going into Leaf's trophy room.
"I'm going to cherish it," he said. "I'll never forget it, especially against the San Francisco 49ers."
Because of San Francisco's blitzing, the Chargers stuck mostly with short patterns. Only five of Leaf's completions went for 10 yards or more, the longest being 14 yards.
"He throws so accurately," Gilbride said. "Even though he was late a few times, he put it in position where the only one who could catch it was us. That was the most encouraging thing.
"I don't want to in any way, shape or form make it seem like he's where he needs to be. Still, he's able to make plays and that's what it comes down to. I thought he did that very, very well."
Manning flubs on first game despite $48 million promise
The Associated Press
SEATTLE — Archie Manning's kid has his feet wet now.
Peyton Manning, the first selection in April's NFL draft, made his debut for the Indianapolis Colts on Aug. 8, and he showed in one half against the Seattle Seahawks that he has a lot to learn.
"Peyton's going to be a great player in this league," Seahawks coach Dennis Erickson said.
He was not great in his first game for the Colts, leaving at halftime with his team trailing the Seahawks 24-7. Seattle won 24-21.
Watching Mannning and young Seahawks quarterback Jon Kitna, it was hard to tell which player was better. Kitna is a former free agent from Central Washington who had to go to Barcelona for seasoning.
After his first pass, a 48-yard touchdown strike to Marvin Harrison on his first series, Manned looked like an ordinary NFL rookie. There was a fumble that teammate Tony Mandirich recovered and
an interception to end a series. In Manning's other four series, it was three-and-out.
IRELAND
Anyone who did not know about Manning's six-year contract, which could be worth almost $48 million, would have thought Kitna — not Manning — was the quarterback with all the money in his bank account.
Manning: Begins NFL career with loss to Seattle.
"I know from experience that the pace of the game shocks you," Kitna said, who has played in three regular-season games.
Manning said: "I need to play a little better. We didn't move the ball very well."
Manning did have to go against Seattle's No.1 defense. It was off the field in the second half when the Colts rallied for two touchdowns to make the game interesting.
"I didn't know how he would respond." Colts coach Jim Mora said of Manning.
"But I know Peyton is a special guy who will be a special player in this league."
Against Seattle, Manning was 8-for-15 for 113 yards with a touchdown and an interception. He looked confused at times. The NFL is not the Southeastern Conference. His father, Archie, a former NFL quarterback, told him that, and now he is finding that out for himself.
Kitaa is earning the league minimum of $216,000. He was 9-for-13 for 92 yards with a 25-yard touchdown pass to Mike Pritchard and an interception. More importantly, Kitaa moved the Seahawks. Even though teamed with Marshall Faulk, Manning could not do that.
"He just needs to play and play," Mora said of Manning, who was given an $11.6 million signing bonus by the Colts.
Manning's touchdown pass was a thing of beauty. On his fifth play — after four handoffs to Faulk — Manning hit Harrison at the Seahawks 38, and Harrison zipped past the secondary into the end zone.
Chiefs to keep training in Wisconsin
I looked so easy. Of course, Harrison's speed can make a quarterback look good.

save about River Falls," said Carl Peterson, Chiefs president and general manager.
RIVER FALLS, Wis. — The northern air apparently agrees with the Kansas City Chiefs — so does the grass, the food and the lodging.
The chancellor of the River Falls campus, Gary Tibodeau, was delighted.
In their eighth summer at University of Wisconsin's River Falls campus, the Chiefs announced Wednesday that they would train at the school for two more summers with an option for a third.
"For the past eight years, we've had the opportunity to interact with certainly one of the premiere NFL franchises," Thibodeau said. "We are really pleased with the partnership and relationship."
"I can sincerely say you people really work hard to make this a sensational experience for us. We know that because of the players we bring in that have been on other teams at other training camps, and they
For River Falls and the rest of western Wisconsin, the Chiefs' presence generates an average of $2 million a year, said Mark Kinder, the school's public affairs director.
Four teams now train in Wisconsin: the Chiefs, the Chicago Bears, the New Orleans Saints and the Green Bay Packers.
"It's wonderful to have four teams here in Wisconsin," Gov. Tommy Thompson said. "We're hoping we'll be able to pick up more teams. We were close this year, and we're expecting one or two more to expand the Cheese League."
In the eight years the Chiefs have been in the city, western Wisconsin has gained about 150,000 new visitors, he said.
Could that include the St. Louis Rams?
The Rams' contract at Macomb, III., expires this year, and Peterson said he had suggested to his friend Dick Vermell, the Rams' coach, that he should look into entering the Cheese League next season.
"It's a strong possibility," Peterson said.

Teasing, injuries mark NFL preseason camp
The Associated Press
Ryan Leaf is learning that there is more than one way a linebacker can make things difficult for a rookie quarterback.
Leaf, drafted second overall by San Diego, has been the victim of some costly pranks orchestrated by Chargers linebacker Junior Seau.
Before training camp, Seau came up with Leaf's credit card and treated 25 teammates to dinner at a sushi restaurant. The tab came to $2,800.
"He brought me a receipt and said, 'Here you go, we had a good old time,'" said Leaf, who received an $11.25 million signing bonus as part of a contract that could be worth $11.25 million over five seasons.
"He was mad," Seau said. "He got kind of riled up. But it's just one of those things you have to go through as a rookie."
At a charity auction, Seau announced that Leaf had won the bidding for a $1,500 skybox at Qualcomm Stadium.
"That would be $700 after the charitable write-off, and he needs the deductions," Seau said. "Hey, I love the kid. It's just part of the growing-up process in the NFL."
Seau said that when he was a rookie, he was victimized by linebackers Gary Plummer and Billy Ray Smith, who would charge room service to Seau's hotel bill and other items to his credit card.
Smith, in turn, said he was duped into buying dinner one night for several teammates by quarterback Dan Fouts.
Cowboys
A fractured rib will keep Deion Sanders out of Dallas' final three exhibition games and also might hurt his chances of plaving offense.
Cowboys coach Chan Gailey planned for Sanders, a Pro Bowl cornerback, to spend the rest of the preseason working at wide receiver.
"We'll just have to see how it all falls together," Gai lev said.
Sanders was injured during last Tuesday night's scrimmage against New Orleans. Although he is listed as day-to-day, owner Jerry Jones said Sanders likely would be out until the Sept. 6 opener against Arizona.
Defensive coordinator Dave Campo said he was not worried about Sanders.
"He's one of those few special players who doesn't need to be drilled back and forth all day," Campo said. "He knows what he needs to do and knows where he needs to be."
Seahawks
Seattle quarterback Warren Moon practiced for the
first time this season after missing three weeks of training camp in a contract dispute.
Moon, 41, said he would need about a week of practice to get back in the groove.
NFL
He was not expected to see any playing time Saturday in the Seahawks' exhibition game against San Francisco at Vancouver, British Columbia.
Wednesday, Moon agreed to a two-year, $4.97 million package that includes a $2.25 million signing bonus. He could earn another $1.2 million this season in incentives.
Bears
First-round draft pick Curtis Enis said he would sit out the season if he does not get what he considers a fair contract.
The former Penn State running back said he told agent Greg Feste he would simply re-enter the draft next year.
"There's no pressure or any pain — it's just being patient," he said Thursday in an interview with Houston's KRIV-TV.
Feste, who has blamed the Bears for the contract impasse, said sitting out was the only option for a rookie.
"If you can't come to terms with the team, then the client has the option to sit out and try again the following year," Feste said.
Jaguars
Defensive end Fernando Smith, released by Minnesota on July 28 after failing a physical upon his return from a hernia operation, signed a one-year, $1.6 million contract with Jacksonville.
"I'm probably 75-80 percent at full strength but feel I should be close to 100 percent soon," said Smith, who had 161/2 sacks in four seasons with the Vikings.
The deal includes a $600,000 signing bonus.
Patriots
Robert Edwards, New England's top draft pick, practiced for the first time since aggravating a groin injury Aug. 2 against San Francisco.
"We're not ready to call for him to go full speed," coach Pete Carroll said. "We're going to probably wait until next week before we do that."
That means the former Georgia running back will not play in tonight's game against Dallas at Mexico City.
NEW YORK — The NBA lockout will be fought on one less front.
NBA players drop labor complaint
The Associated Press
The union for the locked-out players, making a sudden change in strategy, decided Thursday to withdraw its unfair-labor complaint with the National Labor Relations Board.
"It was determined that the players would not be able to obtain relief as swiftly as would be necessary to justify the effort and expense of litigation," attorney Peter Stegios said. "The (players association's) resources would be more effectively utilized in other forums at this time."
The move came just several hours before the board's regional director was to issue his recommendation on the union's contention that NBA owners illegally imposed a lockout before bargaining to an impasse, as required by federal law.
The next key date in the summer-long stalemate will be next Monday, when arbitrator John Feerick convenes a hearing on the players' grievance contending that about 220 players with guaranteed contracts should be paid during the lockout.
The union filed its legal briefs with Feerick on Friday, and the league's response is due this week. Feerick's decision is expected to be announced near Labor Day.
Union officials indicated that they withdrew the NLRB complaint so that they could focus their efforts on winning the Feerick hearing.
League officials seemed to think the players were cutting their losses.
"I assume they came to the recognition that this was a loser," deputy commissioner Russ Granik said. "This is obviously a defeat for the union strategy of litigation instead of negotiation.
"The players must now recognize that the NBA lockout is completely lawful, and the only way it will end is when the parties sit down and
reach a deal that is fair to both sides," Granik said. "This just demonstrates what we've been saying — that this is a perfectly legal lockout, that we have bargained in good faith and you don't have to lock out only when games are in place."
NBA
The sides have
The sides have not scheduled any new formal negotiations, and none should be expected until Feerick issues his ruling. That will give the sides two to three weeks to finalize a collective-bargaining agreement in time for training camps to open at the beginning of October.
If the sides cannot agree on a deal — and the sides are far apart on the main economic issues — the league stands to lose regular-season games to a work stoppage for the first time in its history.
Chiefs sign lineman Chung for two years
The Associated Press
RIVER FALLS, Wis. — In the wake of center Tim Grunhard's elbow surgery, the Kansas City Chiefs signed veteran offensive lineman Eugene Chung to a two-year contract Thursday.
The 6-foot-5, 311-pound Chung was the 13th overall selection in the 1992 draft but since has struggled to live up to that high ranking.
CHIEFS
As a rookie with the New England Patriots, Chung played in every game, starting 14. He was selected in the 1995 expansion draft by Jacksonville, Fla., where he played in 11 games.
Mo. He is expected to play for seven to 10 days.
Chung was released in the preseason by San Francisco in 1996 and Green Bay, Wis., in 1997. Last year in Indianapolis, he played mostly on special teams but gradually earned more playing time on offense.
"With Tim being down and the absence of Nate Parks, we wanted to get a guy there with some veteran depth," said coach Marty Schottenheimer, who also likes Chung's ability to play every line position.
Grunhard had a small bone chip removed from his right elbow Tuesday in Kansas City,
Chung is the Chiefs' second offensive-line signing during training camp. Two weeks ago, the team signed veteran guard-tackle Rob Selby to replace Parks, who left training camp during his first week for personal reasons and is not expected to return.
To make room for Chung, the Chiefs released first-year free agent cornerback Kavis Reed.
Kansas City might not be through signing linemen.

Veteran Ralph Tamm, who
Grunhard was back on the practice field Thursday for the first time since his surgery. He was not in pads but practiced snapping to quarterback Rich Gannon on the sidelines.
Defensive tackle Chester McGlockton, who has struggled with back spasms, was not in River Falls on Thursday.
"We have sent Chester back to Kansas City to get further evaluation from our medical staff," Schottenheimer said. "He was 30 percent better today, but we decided that we didn't want to sit and wait around for another two or three days when the doctor in Minneapolis was going to get a chance to look at him, so we went ahead and sent him down there."

Ticket sales soar as McGwire's quest continues
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — Forget the field-level box seats. The hottest tickets to Cardinals games are in the nose-breed seats in left field.
"That's where Mark has a tendency to hit, especially during batting practice," said Kevin Wade, director of ticket sales for the Cardinals.
In his assault on the home-run record, only two of his homers have gone to right field.
have gone to right.
And that makes the Terrace Reserved sections 383 and 385 the choice seats at Busch Stadium. Only a handful of the $11 seats in
those sections are left for the rest of the season.
Equally popular are the lower left-field bleacher seats. Those seats were sold out weeks ago.
McGwire could break the record in late September in Milwaukee, and the Brewers are ready.

the one in apposition.
"A lot of these owners should be really happy," McGwire said.
"They're making a lot of money.
It's definitely great for the game,
but let's realize that I'm just one person who plays this game. There are a lot of other great guys that are hitting home runs."

of first place in the NL Central this time last year. They are now further behind Houston and have been below .500 most of the season. Yet attendance is up more than 400,000.
The owners are not the only ones to benefit. McGwire's contract calls for him to receive $1 for every ticket sold over 2.8 million.
"We'll have to wait until the end of the season, but right now it looks like he'll be looking at a $250,000 bonus or somewhere around there," said team representative Brad Hianje.
The Florida Marlins also are gearing for McGwire's show. The Marlins have been averaging about 20,900 fans at home, but they already have opened four sections
in the club and upper deck areas in left field for McGwire this month. That increases capacity to about 45,000.
"Tickets are selling very well," said Jim Ross, vice president for sales and marketing for the Marlins.
Even at Cinergy Field in Cincinnati, one of the few ballpark where McGwire has yet to homer, outfield seats for the Cardinals' Sept. 9-10 visit are selling briskly.
"Fans usually want to be close to home, but they seem to be interested in getting to an area where a home-run ball might land," said Reds representative Charles Henderson.
Many teams have no limit on the number of tickets a person can buy. In other words, the closer McGwire gets to the record, the more fans as well as scalpers and collectors will begin scooping up tickets.
It's a gamble that could pay off.
Tickets, particularly ones that have not been torn by a gate attendant. could fetch a nice price.
"He's got to be closer before people are going to start buying blocks of 100 tickets," said Rich Klein, price guide analyst for Beckett's in Dallas. "But you may want to protect yourself and buy a couple of tickets for the late games."
Boxing legend steps back in to ring
Bivins makes recovery after neglect incident
The Associated Press
CLEVELAND — Jimmy Bivins climbs slowly into the ring, gripping the squeaky ropes frayed by hot and musty air. Once inside, he leaves his cane behind. He seems to move faster, gliding across the faded canvas.
He knows this is the greatest comeback of his life.
hise me.
"I just put my mind to it and came on through it," said Bivins, the boxing great found neglected in the attic of his daughter's home in April. "I said, 'I got to get up and walk again.' I had a lot of boxing friends come around, and that made me feel better."

fighting machine. Bivins now weighs 176 pounds, one pound more than the light-heavyweight limit. Wearing a new outfit of slacks and a fashionable collared shirt, he sat ringside Wednesday at the Loft Boxing Club, where he tutors about a dozen of Cleveland's up-and-coming fighters.
"Most of the gyms are down near the joints, you know, where the guys are drinking liquor, beer, wine and whiskey and all that." Bivins said. "I tell them, 'You either work out or go out.' That's the way I tell them."
The wit and old boxing bravado are sharp as ever. He recalls his fights with the likes of Joe Louis, Archie Moore and Ezzard Charles. His career included a 28-bout unbeaten streak from 1942-46 and eight victories against future champions.
"They were going around saying they were going to knock me out, and they didn't even knock me down," Bivins said.
Horvath, 51, was named Bivins' legal guardian on July 9, and three days later,
Bivins was released from the nursing home. His daughter, Josette, and her husband were indicted on neglect charges on June 23.
Horvath organized a boxing benefit in June that raised $ 100 for Bivins' hospital bills. Bivins, born in Dry Branch, Ga., near Macon, now lives with two sisters.
He came back to the gym on his first day out of the nursing home after being away from the gym for years. The boxer walked slowly to the rusted metal door, guarded by a giant padlock, and stepped into the makeshift lobby to let the memories bombard him like a punch combination.
"It was quiet, just like it is today." Horvath said. "He said, 'I can hear them now.' You can hear the workouts and the noise and everything that a gym makes. If these walls could talk, I'm sure there'd be a lot of stories."

With its rundown, humble atmosphere and thick air, it seems a perfect place to prepare fighters for their sweaty, brutal trade. They listen as Bivins punishes the speed bag with one arm.
None of them has trained harder than Bivins these past few months.
"If I got something to do, I go on and do it," Bivins said. "It's just like training. If you have some thing to do, and they want to see if you can do it or not, I show them that I can do it."
Two Kauffmans join a bid for KC Royals
Women commit to purchase offer from Prentice III
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The adopted daughter and daughter-in-law of the late founder of the Kansas City Royals have joined New York lawyer Miles Prentice III in his bid to purchase the team, sources told The Associated Press.
Julia Irene Kauffman and Nancy Kauffman each has agreed to "significant and separate" financial commitments to Prentice's offer, sources close to the process said Thursday.
"Each investment is significant. They arise from their deep
commitment to the legacy of Ewing Kauffman and to their desire to keep the team in Kansas City," the source told AP.
The Royals have been in ownership limbo since the death of Ewing Kaufman in 1993. Lending the Kauffman name to Prentice's effort would greatly strengthen his effort to add local investors.
Prentice is the only major biddor who does not have ties to Kansas City. The two groups he is competing against, in contrast, are headed by two of the most popular individuals in Kansas City — former Royals star George Brett, and Lamar Hunt, owner of the Kansas City Chiefs. Hunt's bid is shared by Western Resources, an area utility giant.
WDAF-TV first reported Thursday that the two women might join the Prentice group. Julia Kauffman is the daughter of the
late Muriel

Ewing Kauffman's second
wife, and was

man's only son, who died on July 1.
The Royals' board of directors, which hopes to make its selection before major league baseball's ownership committee meets next month, is scheduled to meet Friday.
Neither Julia Irene Kauffman nor Nancy Kauffman could be reached for comment.
A source close to the Royals' board said he did not expect any
announcements on Friday.
Julia Kaufman runs the charitable Muriel Kaufman Foundation, named for her mother. She also is active in performing arts and health care causes in the Kansas City area.
"We are operating on a day-to-day basis. There is nothing scheduled," the source said.
WDAF said its source indicated Julia Kauffman would contribute between $5 million and $10 million to the Prentice bid.
Sources told AP that Julia Kauffman's bid was "significantly greater" than the $3 million which has been added to the Prentice group by Kansas City banker R. Crosby Kemper Jr. Kemper, whose family is among the wealthiest and most respected in Kansas City, said Aug. 3 that he had pledged up to $3 million to the Prentice group.
Tyson to try again for boxing license
The Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — The bizarre cross-country saga of Mike Tyson is coming back to Nevada.
Nevada.
Taking a bite out of Evander Holfyfield's ear got Tyson suspended from boxing in Nevada and sent him looking to fight in New Jersey. Now, he is returning to where it all began.
Tyson could have reapplied for his license July 9 in Nevada. But he surprised boxing regulators by showing up in New Jersey and requesting a license.
Thursday, a day before the New Jersey Athletic Control Board was expected to decide whether Tyson could return to the ring, Tyson's advisers abruptly withdrew his application and appealed to Nevada for Tyson's return to the ring.
"Maybe he came back to his senses and decided the best way to go about this was to come back to the state that revoked his license," said Elias Ghanem, chairman of the Nevada Athletic Commission. "We have a very fair commission. And we make decisions on the spot. We vote on it on the spot, and we don't delay our decisions."
two weeks ago, New Jersey regulators listened as the former heavyweight champ asked for his license back — but also got angry and cursed in front of them.
"We were surprised to get it today, but we will set up a hearing, and it will be a fair and impartial hearing," said Marc Ratner, executive director of the Nevada Athletic Commission.
Ratner, who estimated a hearing could be held in two to three weeks, said he had no idea why Tyson withdrew his application in New Jersey.
Tyson adviser Shelley Finkel said that there was concern about the perception that the boxer was trying to get around the Nevada ban by applying in New Jersey. Finkel denied he feared Tyson's application would be rejected.
"I felt very positive," Finkel said. "We can always go back to New Jersey if it's bad in Nevada."
to the state regulators who revoked his license.
"It wasn't a smart move for him in the beginning," Ghanem said, referring to the New Jersey application.
Ghanem said Tyson was making the right move in returning
Nevada boxing regulators
Tysan: Has with-drawn application in New Jersey.
BASILALIK
Asking New Jersey for the license was seen as a calculated gamble by Finkel. But many in boxing criticized the move and said that if states did not respect one another's decisions that a federal commission might be formed to regulate the sport.
James Nave, Nevada Athletic Commission vice chairman, said that he was not surprised the New Jersey application was withdrawn, although he had not talked to any of the New Jersey officials.
"I just thought there was a lot going on out there," he said. "I saw a lot of things in the press that led me to believe that there was that possibility. I could see a lot of pressure building."
Tyson's license was revoked and he was fined $3 million for biting Hollyfield's ears during the third round of their June 28, 1997, rematch for the heavyweight title.
Ghanem said Tyson was not assured of getting his license back, despite the feeling by some in boxing that he had been punished enough.
"Mike Tyson will have to convince the commission that he is fit to have a license," Ghanem said.
At a July 29 hearing in New Jersey, Tyson's advisers presented a parade of character witnesses who urged regulators to give him another chance, and the boxer apologized for biting Holyfield.
But at the end of the hearing, Tyson got angry, refused to read a closing statement and cursed in front of regulators.

Nature lovers seeking outdoor adventures do not have to go more than four miles outside of Lawrence.
Clinton Lake is located west of Clinton Parkway on E-900 road. The lake, developed as a flood-control project in 1971, has become a destination for camping, fishing, swimming, biking and other outdoor activities.
"There is a little bit of everything out here with a variety of scenes and parks to enjoy," said David Rhoades. Clinton Lake Park manager.
Clinton State Park is on the north side of the lake and is managed by the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks. Information is available at the park's visitor center about the park's nature trails, waterfowl, reptiles and other animals.
The four largest camping sites at the park and their fees include:
Bloomington-$6 for an overnight stay that includes use of picnic facilities, restrooms and showers.
---

Rockhaven-$4 to $6 for designated tent or trailer spaces that includes use of restrooms, showers and 50 miles of forested and open-field trails.
- Woodridge-Free for year-round tent camping near open-field and shoreline trails. Restroom and water supply available.
Overlook-$25 to $100 for a no-camping reservable area with picnic facilities, hiking and bicycle trails. Restrooms and water supply available.
Those interested in swimming, boating, skiing or fishing must follow several regulations.
Swimmers should swim only in designated swimming areas and should not swim alone or by boat docks and ramps.
Water skiing or riding personal watercrafts is illegal from one hour after sunset to one hour before sunrise.
■ Negligent boat operation includes wake jumping, speeding and how riding.
- Observe motorboat versus sailboat right of way rules.
- Kansas state license and park fees vary depending on the type of fishing and time spent in water areas.
Lone Star Lake and Park, located three and a half miles south of Clinton Lake, off County Route 1, is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Campsite reservations are not needed.
The same state rules and regulations apply at Loneset with the following exceptions:
A permit is required for camping April 1 - Sept. 15.
Camping is not allowed September 16- March 31.
A three-day fishing permit is $3 and a year-round permit is $10
Camping is $5 to $10 per day with or without electricity.
- Boating permits are $5 for county residents and $20 for nonresidents.
For more information on Clinton Lake and Park call 843-7665. Lone Star Lake and Park hotline is 748-0927, or call the Douglas County Public Works Department at 832-5293.

Green trees and weeds surround riders. Pedaling deeper into the center of the woods, sweat drips from under their helmets as they quickly maneuver around a fallen tree. The insects sing as if cheering riders on while going up hills and over rocks.
Martell began riding mountain bikes before they were made. He would add gears to old fat-tire Schwinns, transforming them into off-road bikes. After moving to Lawrence years later, he founded the Lawrence Cruiser Club which doesn't entirely focus on racing, but more on the social and recreational aspect of the sport.
"The river trail was one of the main reasons I moved to Lawrence," said Curtis Martell, a self-described mountain biking expert. "It's a lot of fun to ride. It's real twisty and fast steep."
"I have friends who travel around riding, and they love the trails here," he said. "Both the river trail and the trails at Clinton Lake are really good."
Martell, who has worked in bike shops, promoted races and held various jobs involving biking, said that the nine mile river trail, which begins at Eighth Street and Oak in North Lawrence, was one of the best in the Midwest.
The Clinton Lake trails extend 25 miles from the Corps of Engineers Overlook Park into the State Park. Martell
Martell advises people interested in the sport to join a club. Meeting and riding with expert riders and asking questions is a great way to learn, he said.
"The other way is to just go out and ride. You'll learn a heck of a lot just riding." he said.
"Those are hard trails," he said. "The river trail is more smooth and fast. It's great for beginners but also a challenge for experts because you can get going very fast."
Greg Schroeder, president of the Cruiser Club, said that the club welcomes bikers of all abilities.
"It's made up of people of all ages, shapes and sizes. When you join a club it doesn't matter if your 50 pounds over weight," he said. "Your welcomed in."
Both Schroeder and Martell welcome beginners, but said there were things to learn before taking to the trails. The two encourage all bikers to wear helmets and follow one-way signs on trails to avoid head-on collisions.
said that the Clinton trails were technical with rocks and narrow paths, that made for an extreme ride.
Martell said that many bikers also don't know that they could be damaging a trail by riding when it was too wet.
mud, it will eat your bike."
"If mud sticks to your tires, the trail is to wet," he said. "A lot of people think it's cool to ride in the mud, but it does unrepairable damage to the trails. And because there is so much sand in the
Schroeder insists that having the best or most expensive equipment isn't necessary and shouldn't be the focus of the sport.
"Riding is the cool part. It's not about having the best bike," he said. "This isn't something you can buy your way
into. Only doing the sport will make you healthy and good."

Several bikers gather at the river trail parking lot at 9 a.m. on the third Saturday of each month to maintain the trail. For more information on helping or the Cruiser Club, contact Curtis Martell at 843-5118.

Frisbee golf, paintball offer varied challenges
By Mollinda Weaver
Kansan staff writer
When it seems like every Lawrence club is exactly the same and there are no good movies to be found anywhere, area recreation offers some interesting ideas for entertaining students.
The Drop Zone, 1029 Douglas County Road three miles south of Highway 56, provides one alternative paintable.

The tree-filled area allows for different types of challenges.
One challenge consists of a team inside a fort and another outside attacking. Another involves a flagpole in the middle of a field with two teams to reach it to put their flag in the post first. The final alternative is a free-for-all, winner takes all, battle.
Once hit, players must place a plug in their gun and hold it up. Their participation has ended.
"It's a good way to vent the stress and frustration of school and get an adrenaline rush at the same time," said Jeremy Crabb, Overland Park senior. He visited the park with his residence hall floor during his sophomore year.
April Workman, Drop Zone employee, said that it had great appeal to student groups looking for something exciting.
"Most of the fraternities come out for their rush parties, and a lot of dorm floors come twice." Workman said. "They come in the fall, so everyone can get to know each other and again in the spring to run out the floor fund money."
The Drop Zone is open Saturdays and Sundays with sessions at 9 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. and weekdays by appointment for groups of 15 or more.
The price is $25 for individuals and $20 per person with groups of 15 or more. The price includes goggles, all other safety equipment, paintball gun rental and 100 rounds of painballs.
A much cheaper activity to occupy a boring afternoon is frisbee golf.
Centennial Park, 9th and Iowa streets behind Bucky's, has an 18-hole course that is changed occasionally to add an extra challenge for frequent visitors.
The rules are simple. It's like regular golf, except with discs. Players aim for metal baskets that are about four feet in the air on a pole.
"Frisbee golf is perfect," said
Matthew Miller, University of Nebraska student. "It's inexpensive, low maintenance and fun."
Miller and his golfing companions, Dan Augustyn and David Williams, also from the University of Nebraska, spent the summer at Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall working as camp counselors. In their spare moments, the counselors discovered frisbee golf.
"We try to play every day,"
Augustyn said. "It's relaxing and gives us a break from watching the kids."
Because frisbee golf at Centennial Park is free, players must provide their own dives, which can be purchased at local sporting good stores.
Experienced players play with ten discs, which vary much like golf clubs do. There are long and mid-range discs and even putters. However, frisbee golf can be played with only one.
Make no mistake, Lawrence's South Park is place for real fun
Before classes resume, take the time to let out your inner child. As they say in the song: "Go on down to South Park and have yourself a time."

South Park is not just a cartoon about foul-mouthed third graders. It is the Lawrence park located at 11th and Massachusetts streets. But like the cartoon, the park will make you remember what it is like to be a kid again.
For individuals whose interests do not include playing on swing sets, South Park offers other alternatives.

available to children of all ages. Only the wading pool is closed to the older children, said Kathy Fode, recreational supervisor.
For food fanatics, about 19 vendors will be set up around the park during the festival.
Even when major events are not happening, South Park is a popular location for picnics.
A picnic kit can be rented at the Community Building, Fode said. The kit includes a volleyball net, softball equipment, a soccer ball, a

the price of the kit is $25, but the fee is reimbursed when the full kit is returned.
Because of its open space, South Park also is a popular place to play a variety of sports, including softball and soccer. Fode said.
South Park's location on Massachusetts street also adds to the park's appeal.
"A lot of students come in here and sit in the park because it's a pretty park and close to downtown," Fode said.

Local golf course opens
Eagle Bend offers Lawrence golfers several attractions
By John Landeck Special to the Kansan
Golfers have a new venue to play, with the opening of Lawrence's much anticipated Eagle Bend golf course.
The course, located just east of the Clinton Lake dam at 1250 E.902 Rd., opened its front nine on July 18 and should have its back nine open on Labor Day weekend. The large putting green along with the clubhouse and the extensive driving range opened June 20.
One feature that stands out is a large green machine sitting outside the clubhouse dispensing range balls into a bucket. Token operated, the machine holds the bucket on a hook and dispenses about 40 balls for driving range use. The course also will feature a Learning Center offering lessons on putting, chipping, driving and other various golf shots.
how nice the facilities are," he said.
how nice the families are, he said.
However, Kane doesn't want to focus on competing with other courses.
Bob Billings, president of Alvamar, said that the municipal course would be a super addition to the community.
"We are here to provide a recreational service to the community," he said.
841-5885
He said that it was difficult to compare the new course with Alvamar's public course because the new course was not yet mature.
"People are going to be surprised at
"The true test of a golf course is three to five years down the road," Billings said. "The jury will be out for many years."
The new course, 10 years in the making, is located on federal property. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers owns the land and has a 30-year lease with the city of Lawrence, which built the course.
Eagle Bend was designed by architect Jeff Brauer, who has designed courses in Texas and is currently working on a course in Manhattan
Course superintendent Kerry Golden has overseen the course's maturation. The greens are all bent grass and the fairways are a combination of rye and bluegrass, common for a golf course. There are plans to seed 10 acres of non-irrigated area with native grasses.
and broke ground in the fall of 1996.
Granite tee signs display the layout of each hole, yardage from the tee boxes, the course logo and have space for advertisements.
Eagle Bend is a par 72 course that includes four par-three, four par-five and ten par-four holes. Monday through Thursday the greens fee for 18 holes is $13.50 and $15 Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The nine hole rates are $8.50 and $9.75.
Proper golf attire and soft spikes are required at Eagle Bend.
Kane, who was impressed when he took a few swings on the course, said, "The course should prove to be very challenging for the better player and forgiving enough for the recreational player at the same time."

Shoppers await new department stores
Chain retailers prepare to open on Iowa street
By Michael Martin
Kansan staff writer
Several national chain stores are increasing their presence along Iowa street, providing shoppers
with more options — and downtown retailers with more competition.
Kohl's
Kohl's, which offers a combination of apparel brands such as Levi's and Adidas as well as home merchandise, will open an 81,000-square-foot store at 33rd and Iowa streets, adjacent to Wal-Mart. The store is scheduled to open in the second week of October and will employ about 200, said Reaumur Donnally, vice president and dis-

Kmart, 3106 Iowa St., will add 30,000 square feet to its current 70,000-square-foot location. The store will become a Big K in which grocery, milk and frozen food are offered alongside traditional Kmart merchandise, said Rodney Keesee, assistant manager. The store also is adding an auto-repair center. The interior renovations and exterior expansion are scheduled to be completed before Thanksgiving. Keesee said that dozens of new jobs would be created by the expansion.
The new J.C. Penney store is being built on 33rd and Iowa and Hobby Lobby will occupy the old department store on 23rd street. J.C. Penney opening is scheduled on November 11. See Lizz Weber / KANSAN
Sears
Sears will open its full-service Lawrence location at 29th and Iowa streets in mid-to-late October. The 83,000-square-foot store will carry traditional Sears merchandise such as apparel, appliances, electronics, hardware and fragrances, said Jim Mohs, general manager. The store will hire about 150 part-time, full-time and management personnel.
"Whenever a new store opens up in a new territory, everyone is concerned. We'll have to pay close attention."
J.C. Penney
J. C. Penney will move from its current location at 1801 W. 23rd St. to an 8,000-square-foot store at 33rd and Iowa streets, next to Super Target. The store, which is scheduled for grand opening on Nov. 11, will almost double J.C. Penney's current square footage. Cosmetics, a maternity department, several new clothing lines and several new jobs will be added,

more department-store shopping. Retailers were drawn by this public demand, as well as the appeal of a relatively open market.
Iowa street has been a hotbed of retail development because it is the only area with sufficient business-zoned land. Toeben said.

New downtown shops furnish decorating ideas
By Jenny Oakson
Kansan staff writer
Several Lawrence businesses have opened to assist students with home decorating.
Even if your dwelling does not include a bellhop or check-in counter, the recycled hotel furniture of Homestyle, 844 Massachusetts St., provides furnishing options.
Since its opening on July 4, Larry Northrop, owner, has offered mattresses, couches, chairs, televisions, mirrors and artwork to students with tight budgets.
Northrop first noticed the beating that furniture took when he did maintenance work for his father's rental properties in Lawrence.
"I recognize that the student lifestyle requires furniture that is cheap and built to last — even the second time around." Northrop said.
Homeesty offers sofas for less than $100. Northrop said he expected to see students stop by right after moving in.
Up the street at 820 Massachusetts,
Borderline is stocked with what
Peggy Wright, owner, called unique
and unusual decor and gifts.
Wright said she predicted that most residence hall inhabitants would find Borderline interesting and appealing. The store is stocked with painted lamps, oriental vases, mirrors, picture frames and a wide variety of candles.
"I think that Lawrence homeowners and students will find that one thing they've been searching for for

their homes." Wright said.
After a long career in retail, when Wright opened her own business she wanted the interior to be just as artistic as the merchandise, she said. The store is decorated with iron figures lurching from the walls like gargoyles, brightly colored fabrics
The Third Planet, 846 Massachusetts St., opened four months ago. The store carries specialty gifts, many of them unique.
and an exotic garden scene.
"We get a lot of compliments on our decor." said Matt Fisher, salesperson. "People walk in and their eyes get big when they look at all the greenery."
Among the leaves and stems that line the walls, The Third Planet displays Indonesian wood carvings, which are its best-sellers.
Fisher said that The Third Planet especially welcomed people who had to buy something for someone who is impossible to shop for.
"Even if they don't buy anything, at least they leave with a few ideas," Fisher said.
Spud lovers scale Potato Mountain
Restaurant serves mashed mixtures from two locations
Kansan staff writer
By Jonny Oakson Kansan staff writer
Homesick students yearning for a taste of mom's mashed potatoes might want to visit the Potato Mountain Cafe.
The cafe has two locations in Lawrence, 1011 1/2 Massachusetts St. and 803 Vermont St., and serves about 14 different varieties of mashed potatoes every day.
"I actually learned everything about making potatoes from my mom," said Brent McClun, owner.
McClun said the idea for the Potato Mountain Cafe just clicked while he was watching a Good Morning America segment on mashed potatoes in New York restaurants. After designing his menu, McClun started his business in Lawrence, his long-time residence.
"Lawrence is a fun town with a lot of students who eat just about anything," McClun said. "Good mashed potatoes are hard to come by, and people know it."
The Massachusetts street restaurant opened on June 13 and is a cafe-style setting, whereas the Vermont street restaurant has the capacity to accommodate larger groups of four or more.
"On Vermont, we get more families and sit-down oriented parties," said Ben Maples, manager of the Vermont street restaurant. "I think the Cafe on Massachusetts is more apt to get students and window shoppers who just want to eat and run."
TOM HENRY
The most popular item at both locations is the Mount Everest, a serving of mashed potatoes with chicken, noodles and gravy. For those with larger appetites, Maples said that no one had ever left hungry after consuming the cafe's Sampler, consisting of three pounds of potatoes.
Hours are from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
but management may keep the restaurants open until 9 or 10 p.m.
once school is in session.

Kansan staff writer
Students often find themselves scraping the couches for spare change so they can satisfy their appetites.
Fortunately, Lawrence has many restaurants that offer delicious food at affordable prices.
Yello Sub, 624 W. 12th St. and 1814 W. 23rd St., offers a wide variety of sub sandwiches from the Mega Roast Beef to The Veggie. Prices range from $3.05 to $6.90.
"Our bread is baked from scratch every morning," said Chris Stolfus, an employee at Yello Sub. "And since Yello Sub is so close to campus, it has a college atmosphere."
The Glass Onion, a restaurant for vegetable lovers, is located directly above Yello Sub, 624 W. 12th St. The restaurant's menu includes omelettes, salads, homemade soups, sandwiches, burritos, vegetarian meals, smoothies made with real fruit, triple-thick shakes and nonfat yogurt shakes.

"Our pizza is unique," said Joe Gebbs, Papa Keno's employee. "And since the slices are so large, you can definitely get filled up for a low price."
Massachusetts Street Delicatessen, 941 Massachusetts St..better known as the Mass. Street Deli, offers sandwiches, soups and salads for lunch. Prices range from
$3.15 to $6.25. For dinner, Mass. Street Deli offers sandwiches, salads, pizza and pasta. Prices range form $3.75 to $12.95. The restaurant has a sidewalk patio so that customers can eat outside while watching the activity on Massachusetts street.

Paradise Cafe, 728 Massachusetts St., offers delicious breakfast and lunch items from 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Sundays.

Massachusetts St., has a wide
variety of Mexican dishes, including
the famous El Gordo two-pound
burrito. Prices range form $1.19 to
$5.69.
"We have quality service, a friendly atmosphere and we serve our food fast," said Griselda Moran, a manager at Panchero's. "After the bars close and everyone's hungry, they head to Panchero's because we are open until three in the morning."
Quinton's Bar and Deli, 615 Massachusetts St., offers bread bowl soups, with the creamy potato bacon as the most popular, and sandwiches. The Jayhawk Sandwich consists of chicken, tomato, lettuce, cheese and Quinton's special house honey mustard sauce. Prices range from $4.25 to $5.95.
"our sandwiches are fabulous," said Paul Adams, an employee at Quinton's. "And hey, we have great drink specials."
The restaurant was a hub for socializing and dining. It featured a variety of food options, including appetizers, salads, pastries, and desserts. The staff was attentive and helpful, ensuring that everyone had a great time. The restaurant was also known for its excellent service, with friendly staff who were always ready to assist guests.

Good taste easy to recognize, but might be harder to find
By Jonny Oakson Kansan staff writer
Coming back to school may incorporate late-night pizza deliveries or fast food drive-thru runs. But the average University of Kansas student has the opportunity to experience fine dining.
The desire to eat a real meal causes many students to seek culinary solace in a former bank.

If your quest for fine dining drives you to the outskirts of the
Although Pachamama's prices may make you a little nervous, the appetizers are as incredible as the entrees. Of course, if you aren't forking over the money, who cares?
"If I had to confine my meal to an appetizer alone I would definitely choose the portobello mushrooms roasted with basil, garlic and pepperoncini," said Karen Gallo, Lawrence sophomore.
If you are of legal age,
Pachamache's World Cuisine
also serves gourmet wines from around the globe.
Another site famous for palatable food and wine is Fifi's, the Wine Spectator Magazine Award winner since 1991. The restaurant, located at 925 Iowa St., offers continental American cuisine.
"Most of our customers are Lawrence residents," said Mark Joyner, server's assistant. "All the kids come here for Prom, and all their grandparents come in on Sunday night."
Although it is a well kept secret to some University students, Fifi's gradually has expanded its reputation. The lamb and fresh seafood are delectable and its location allows for a post-dinner movie at the nearby Hillcrest Theatres.

Coffee shops provide variety of atmospheres
Local java stores feature drinks, food, local art
By Jorry Jackson Kansan staff writer
Students looking for a study break or alternative study spot can find refuge in the Lawrence coffee shops.
Here are a few places serving a quality cup of flavored caffeine.
For a taste of the classic side of Lawrence coffee, the best place to start is La Prima Tazza, 638 Massachusetts St., the oldest coffee shop in town.
La Prima Tazza opened its doors in 1990 and offers a small, bright New York-style coffee house atmosphere. There are 18 to 20 different coffee varieties, with espresso-based classics. La Prima Tazza offers eight house blends
including Mocha Florentine, a house original made with dark coffee, frosted chocolate and whipped cream.
Suzanne Smith, co-owner of La Prima Tazza, said that her establishment is a coffee shop, plain and simple.
"We sell coffee, we're not a bookstore," Smith said. "I know coffee; everything else is peripheral."
La Prima Tazza violates one classic coffee house rule: Smoking is not allowed.
For a taste of something more unique, the Bourgeois Pig. 6 E. Ninth St., selected by The Lawrence Journal-World in 1997 for having the best coffee in town, serves quality coffee and mixed drinks.
The Bourgeois Pig imports its coffee from Portland, Ore. Its wide variety of hot coffees and espressos contrast well with an equally wide variety of cold beers and hard liquors.

Generation Xers feel nostalgic for a 1920s back-street dive. Art from local artists is prominently displayed on the walls. William S. Burroughs created the Bourgeois Pig's first art display.
"We get a lot of regulars, and you really get to know them," Hilburn said.
Employee James Hilburn said that he felt like an old-time bartender.
Unfortunately, this isn't always the place for people under 21.
wilton's Coffee and Wine, 920 Massachusetts St., has a similar
problem.
The shop offers both quality cof fees and quality wines, but proper identification is needed to enjoy the full experience.

reminds you of a comfortable den. With two rooms for smokers and three rooms for non smokers, the cafe and bakery has something for everybody.
Gourmet coffee is imported from the Wild Horse Creek Coffee Company in St. Louis, and is freshly ground on the premises each day. Serving full meals and freshbaked goods 24 hours a day, the Java Break ensures that no one drinks coffee on an empty stomach.
The Java Dive, 10 E. Ninth St., is a smaller version of Milton's Coffee and Wine. Both shops are run by the same owners.
Lawrence coffee houses provide a range of atmospheres and beverages. The shops below have been ranked on a scale of one to four, with four being the best.
The coffee at the Java Dive, blended at Milton's, is rich in flavor, but the shop offers little else.

Gay students can find support from local firms
By Loslie Potter
Kansan staff writer
If you are gay or bisexual, then you are considered one of the family.
Several Lawrence businesses cater to the gay community with events and services
Teller's, 746 Massachusetts St., has Family Night every Tuesday.
"It's a classy, safe, well-lit place for gay people to go," said Jennifer Veavey, a manager at Teller's. "We are supportive of the gay community because we figured that there weren't many places designated specifically for gay people."
"Basically, they can have a nice evening in a setting that they might feel more comfortable in." Veavey said. "And they get to meet other people that are in the family."
Veavey said that Teller's policy does not imply that gay people should not be allowed at other restaurants in Lawrence.
Tremors Night Club. 729 New Hampshire St., offers Alternative Family Night every Wednesday.
"Alternative Family Night was mentioned to us by customers." said
"Lawrence has always been a gay-friendly city and this is obvious because of the activities it offers."
Jim Clark
Sophomore at Washburn University
Trent Glass, manager at Tremors. "We figured that it was something no other dance club was doing."
Glass said that Alternative Family Night had been successful, and they had held a drag queen show during the summer.
"That was the biggest crowd we have ever had, and we will definitely have drag queen shows in the future." Glass said.
Jason Moreno, Garden City sophomore, said alternative-family nights were a reason he loved Lawrence.
"You don't have to be 21 to get in, like many gay bars in Kansas City," Moreno said. "And you feel comfortable being yourself at these places."
Larry's in Lawrence Inc., 1601 W. 23rd St. sells various gay-related items, including rainbow stickers, magazines, videos, cards, attire and even same-sex wedding cake toppers.
"We knew that Lawrence had a large gay community," said Brian Heinen, manager at Larry's in Lawrence. "And we felt that Lawrence was lacking a store like this.
"We carry a lot of gay-specific stuff," he said. "But people will come in and buy things they think are funny, and we have items that are not gay-specific."
Jim Clark, sophomore at Washburn University, said he appreciated the activities Lawrence offered the gay community.
"Lawrence has always been a gay-friendly city and this is obvious because of the activities it offers," Clark said. "Lawrence is so fun to hang out in. I come up here from Topeka almost every week."

Give them beer — and they will come.
But give them great service and a fun atmosphere and they will eagerly return.
Since its 1989 opening, Free State Brewing Co., 636 Massachusetts St., has delivered high quality and good service.
The brewery offers an extensive menu of moderately priced entrees, such as black bean quesadillas and chicken gumbo, that go beyond standard restaurant fare.
Chuck Magerl, owner of Free State,
and his staff consistently offer daily specials
and a seasonal homebrew, which
always leaves something new to trv.
Free State's modern interior, which is surrounded by exposed-rock walls, gives patrons a comfortable feeling that can't be matched in any other local brewery. On the dimly lit lower level, smokers will feel at home, but only if they are willing to talk loudly and yell their orders. Those hoping to escape the din can venture upstairs to join non-smokers in a more remote dining room.
Free State's clientele, made up of locals of various ages and family sizes, may find it difficult to nab one of less than a dozen bar chairs. However, waiting for table seating is neither stressful nor frustrating. Each patron is given a pager to alert them when their table is ready.
Because at least two fast-paced bartenders tend to thirsty customers, the wait to wrap one's hands around a shaker glass filled with one of Free State's tasty brews is minimal.
An array of beers are prepared in small batches using natural ingredients and are served in either a 14-ounce glass or in take-home, half-gallon jugs. It would be difficult for locals to find better tasting beer for a mere $2.25 a glass. Recommendable Free State beers include Ad Astra Ale, a well-balanced bittersweet mix. The Oatmeal Stout has a smooth but malty taste. Free State's beers include the Wheat State Golden, Cyclist, Crimson Berry Ale, Brinkley's Maibock, Copperhead Pale Ale and Cycle Black Lager.
Whether you go to Free State for a well-prepared meal or simply to drink a beer and run into a friend, it is likely that you will leave satisfied.
One block down from Free State is Brown Bear Brewery, 729 Massachusetts St. The neighborhood brewery, once known as Kaw River Brewery, also offers a long list of homebrews that employees claim are good for the soul. With its simplistic interior and abundant seating, the two-floor establishment offers customers a more low-key atmosphere. But you might feel pity for the lone bartender attempting to serve an increasingly busy restaurant.
Recommendable beers include the Sunflower Wheat or IronWood IPA. Other Brown Bear beers include Irish Red Ale, Black Bear Stout, Chocolate Brown, Black and Tan, Cyclist and Peach Wheat. The Paw Print Sampler, a tour of all the beers, is available through your server.
Sports Page Brewery, 3512 Clinton Parkway, is an ideal setting for the avid sports fanatic. The restaurant's menu of traditional American entrees makes it easy to find an

"What's good enough for Granddad, is good enough for me, the way it was, it's the way it's got to be," as sung by the Squirrel Nut Zippers.
The swing sensation has taken Lawrence by storm. From the music to the dancing, resident's enthusiasm proves that Lawrence loves to shake a tailfeather.
The Bottleneck's Swing Set Sunday nights draws up to 300 people, and many dress for the occasion. It is not unusual to
see men decked out in freshly ironed pants and suspenders, as women in retro-style dresses and high heels twirl. The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St. transforms itself replacing sticky plastic cups and overflowing ashtrays with white tablecloths and candles.

The Hi-Jinx Lounge, 1117 Massachusetts St., also commemorates the time when swing was the thing with its 1940s-inspired decor and jukebox of classic music. Customers smoke cigars from its cigar bar while listening to live swing, bluegrass, surf and jump-blues
music, a harder and faster version of swing, said Jon at an Levine, co-owner of HiJinx.
Aaron Strelow tends bar at the Hi-Jinx
began swing dancing five years ago when his ex-girlfriend pulled him onto the dance floor. Since then, swing has become a part of his life, and much of Lawrence's as well, judging from the attendance in his three dance classes.
"It's fun to dance with a partner," Strelow said. "For the longest time people were only dancing by themselves."
Josh "Junebug" Hunt has been a disc jockey at the Swing Set since its incarnation in December 1996. Listening to his parents play Glen Miller and Benny Goodman, Hunt inherited their appreciation for swing music.
"Once you listen to it, it
becomes a part of your." Hunt said.
The music and dancing attract people from near and far. Chad Tebbe traveled 81 miles from Manhattan.
Mark Yonally, a dance major at the University of New Mexico, goes to the Swing Set every Sunday.
"It's great to see dance return as a participatory experience for people." Yonally said.

influx of new bands. Randy Willet, drummer for Billy Bacon and the Forbidden Pigs, a San Diego-based, self-described American roots band.
said that some of today's swing bands never listened to the original music. He said the groups just jumped on the musical bandwagon.
"Cab Calloway and Louis Jordan are spinning in their graves because of these now bands." Willet said.
These dancers at the Bottleneck's Swing Set practiced this move before taking it public. Enthusiasts with a wide range of experience come to boogie down on Sundays. Many local swingers take swing and ballroom dance classes to perfect their moves. Photo by Rebecca Ulanoff/KANSAN

Touring the museums at the University of Kansas gives visitors a lesson about the role of women artists, a peek into the world of honey making and a chance to be a part of a Native American cultural event.
Women artists are being singled out at the Spencer Museum of Art exhibit "Crossing the Threshold," opening August 22 and running through September.
The exhibit charts barriers broken by women in art during the 20th century. While most are still living and creating pieces, all the female artists in the show are older than 70.
Bernice Steinbaum is the curator of the exhibition and the director of the Steinbau Krauss Gallery in New York City.
"It is my hope that 'Crossing the Threshold' will continue the process of correcting the very limited, narrow view, that all great art is done by white males, the western canon," Steinbaum said.
Works by 31 women including paintings, sculptures, photography, ceramics, weaving and printmaking will be featured.
The late Marjorie Whitney. Professor Emeritus of design at the University will be recognized for her work in ceramics, weaving, painting and illustration.
In addition to the nationally recognized women, three from the state of Kansas will be honored.
Whitney was the second chairwoman of the Department of Design for 48 years and also is a member of the KU Women's Hall of Fame.
Another Kansas artist, Mary Kretsinger, is a former assistant professor of metalsmithing design at Emporia State University. Kretsinger is internationally recognized for her metal and enamel work, which can be found in several churches across the state.
The third artist, Betty Dickerson,
was a teacher at the Wichita Art
Association. She is a painter and printmaker.
Another museum at the University is working to make its exhibits better. The Natural History Museum has improved the Working Beehive exhibit.
Work began in July and is scheduled to be finished and ready for public display in early September.
The changes will include enlarging the display and inserting a micro camera. This camera will aid visitors observing the bees' activity.
Brad Kemp, assistant director of public affairs for the museum, said that the camera would allow more people to view the bees at the same time.
"The neatest aspect will be the live video of the bees working inside. It's a dramatic enlargement, "Kemp said.
The Natural History Museum is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 5
p. m.Sunday.
In a city-University effort, the Museum of Anthropology is joining forces with Haskell Indian Nations University and the Lawrence Arts Center to put together the Tenth Annual Lawrence Indian Art Show on Sept. 12 through Oct. 25.
The displayed works will be selected by judges, and $7,500 will be awarded in prizes and merit awards on Sept. 11.
Public Coordinator Maria Martin said the works range from fabric work, textiles, pottery, jewelry and children's works.
Last year, about 25,000 people attended the show and viewed the 193 items on display at the Museum of Anthropology.
"People coming to the show will get a good feel for American Indian art from all across the country," Martin said.
ket is scheduled for the weekend. The two-day outdoor event will take place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sept. 12 and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 13. The market will be held at the Haskell Indian Nations University Pow Wow grounds, south of 23rd and Massachusetts streets.
In conjunction with the art show, a Haskell Indian Art Mar
Admission and parking is free. More than 165 Native American artists will be at the market. They will be selling some of their disbled work.
Admission and parking is free.
"The market goes deeper than just viewing the artwork," Martin said. "You'll get to see the work and meet with the artists behind it all. It's a learning and sharing experience."
Entertainment in the form of Native American dancing, music and artist demonstrations will be featured, as well as raffles and food. Some demonstrations will include jewelry making, a gourd artist and a kactina carver.

Many students see Sunday morning as a day to catch up on much needed sleep.
Congregations welcome students back to school
But churches in Lawrence are trying to change this habit.
Through various activities and programs, many local churches are attempting to increase student participation in weekly worship and church involvement.
Several churches have established adopt-a-student programs as a way of helping new student members feel more welcome.
At Trinity Lutheran Church,
1245 New Hampshire St., the adopt-a-student program is a new venture.
Similar to an adoption process for a child, people who wish to adopt a student must be interviewed.
Shawn Norris, Lutheran Campus Pastor for both Trinity and Good Shepherd Lutheran churches, said that he planned to sit down with people who wanted to adopt a student to make sure that they would take the program seriously.
Norris also is trying to coordinate a worship service geared toward young adults.
Once individuals are proven to be good adoptive parents, Norris said that they would be doing various activities with their students throughout the year.
"We want to give people in the community a chance to plan it." Norris said. "We are looking for input."
In addition, Norris also is planning a pig roast at 7:30 p.m. Friday at 1116 Louisiana St.
This event, Norris said, would have no church agenda. Free beer will even be available for individuals 21 years of age and older.
The First Baptist Church, 1330 Kasold Drive, will be offering activities similar to those of Trinity Lutheran Church.
First Baptist Church also will be offering an adopt-a-student program, said Reverend Sandra Walton.
"It's kind of a parent away
from home." Walton said.
This fall, the First Baptist Church also plans to have Bible studies and activities to help students feel welcome into the church. Walton said.
Although many local churches are planning similar activities, one church has been busy planning a rather different schedule of events.
At 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, St.
Lawrence is planning to hold a
mass on the Hill, said Anna
Witherow, outreach minister.
To attract new students to its church, the St. Lawrence Catholic Center, 1631 Crescent Road, has planned several original activities to complement Hawk Week events.
St. Lawrence also will have an ice cream social Sunday and a lesta Aug. 28, Witherow said.
The goal of these activities is to welcome students back to the University. Witherow said.
The church also plans on holding an activities fair to let students see what the church is about, Father Vince Krische said.
Various social activities also are being planned at other local churches.
The Christian Science Church,
1701 Massachusetts St., is planning a cookout in September for
students, said Pam Peck,
adviser to the Christian Science
organization on campus.
"We let them know where we are and that they are welcome," Peck said.
Although many churches have unique activities planned, each church has one goal in mind: to make students feel welcome in their congregations.
"We make sure students are greeted personally," said Jay Henderson, director of campus ministry for three local Methodist churches.
Churches in Lawrence each offer students different opportunities and activities. But feeling welcome in a church means finding the right niche.
Most churches encourage students to come and sit in on a worship service, and many pastors are happy to talk to new students about their parishes.

University Theatre plans semester

The key to getting involved with the University Theatre is jumping in with both feet.
"The best way to get involved is to audition or sign up to work with the backstage crew," said Delbert Unruh, director of the University Theatre. "By getting involved, people get to know who you are. It's actually very simple."
Students can get information at the theater's annual rally at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall.
Information will be available about auditions and the upcoming season. Faculty and staff also will be available for questions.
Nominations for University Theatre student representatives and the Theatre and Film Committees also will be taken.
Before the rally begins, new students can sign up for the University Theatre Buddy Program. New students are matched up with returning ones to help them assimilate into the theatre program, Unruh said.
Audition sign ups and student representative elections will be held noon to 4 p.m., Thursday in the Murphy Hall lobby across from the Crafton-Prey Theatre.
Students with odd numbered KUIDs should sign up to audition Thursday night, and students with even numbered KUIDs can sign up for Friday night auditions.
"I think when you get involved you work with the same people for such a long time you become a family in a sense," Bartkski said. "The play I acted in, I spent at least 20 hours a week for four to eight weeks with the same people."
Auditions are open to any undergraduate enrolled in at least six hours and graduate students enrolled in at least one hour.
Open call auditions for the productions "The Batting Cage," "The Accidental Death of an Anarchist" and "Oklahoma!" will be held Thursday and Friday evenings.
University Theatre can be a good place for some students to make connections that may help

Unprofessional piercings may cause infections
Doctors blame method, not site
By Angle Simpson
Special to the Kansan
One Friday evening, Erica Karr,
Naperville, Ill., sophomore, noticed
her newly pierced eyebrow was
beginning to swell. She did not
think too much about it. But by
Sunday night, it had swollen to
roughly the size of a dime.
"I thought it would go away, but it just got bigger and bigger," Karr said.
Worried, she went to the bathroom to remove the jewelry, hoping to squeeze the infection out.
"Blood was coming out. It hurt really bad, and I was kind of freaked out." Karr said.
The resident assistant on her floor advised her to go to the Lawrence Memorial Hospital Emergency Room. Physicians there gave her an IV and some antibiotic pills and sent her home half an hour later without the eyebrow ring.
Unfortunately, bad reactions to piercings like Karr's are not
unusual at area hospitals.
"see one problem about every six weeks," said Paul Loney, an emergency department physician at the hospital. "There's probably more with problems that we don't see."
Karr is one of the many students at the University of Kansas with body piercings.
Because of this, Watkins Memorial Health Center also sees its share of piercing problems.
"Too often we see sites infected," said Randall Rock, Watkins chief of staff.
"It has more to do with technique than site," Loney said. "I can't prove whether they are using dull or dirty needles, but a lot of it comes down to technique."
Rock speculated that Watkins saw several patients each week for infected wounds and other piercing traumas.
Loney said he had seen infections in many pierced parts of the body and said he didn't believe that certain places were more prone to infection than others.
How can one determine whether the proper technique for body piercing is being used on them?

City, Mo., has been voted "Best Body Piercing" in two regional newspaper polls for 1996 and 1997. Mick Nolland, president of Extremus, offered his suggestions on how to select a professional.
"There are two areas of concern: the studio and the individual piercer," Noland said. "If a professional body piercing exists in the area, that's preferred. If not, the best tattoo studio with a professional piercer is the second choice."
Noland advised avoiding going to places such as tobacco product stores, beauticians and clothing stores, since it would be unlikely that these stores have professional piercers or adequate facilities for piercing.
"A professional studio will be very clean, well-lit and staffed by knowledgeable people," Noland said. "It should look much like a doctor's office."
Professional studies also will be able to deal with any allergies a person may have. This includes vinyl surgical gloves for those allergic to latex and jewelry made out of several materials for people with metal allergies.
The person performing the piercing is another thing to consider.
"The piercer must be personally clean, sober, treat all clients with professionalism and have verifiable professional training with at least two to three years of experience." Noland said.
Piercers also should have a portfolio of their work, with pictures of various piercings. Piercers should be calm and make their clients feel comfortable and be open to questions, especially those about safety practices and procedures.
Despite her infection, Karr didn't have any qualms about the studio where she had her eyebrow pierced.
Karr was pierced at Fine Line,
1826 Massachusetts St.
Jennifer, an artist and piercer at Fine Line's Topeka store, said that all Fine Line piercers were state licensed and trained at Gauntlet,
"It didn't seem shady," she said.
"I just think my body rejected it."
the only piercing school in the United States, located in California.
Poking a hole in one's body is a trauma and bodies do have a way of rebelling. Proper care is necessary to ensure the success of a piercing.
A person with a piercing should protect the pierced site from being infected. Instruction sheets should be available from the piercing studio about the type and frequency of cleaning necessary.
"I usually recommend heat packs or over-the-counter medicine for pain depending on the site." Loney said.
Pain usually is not a problem for piercings done properly, but many become tender or sore afterward.
Do-it-yourself piercing can have a lot more risk than professional piercing.
"Wiping with an alcohol swab won't get it." Loney said.
He said disinfecting the site is difficult.
Noland also is against pierce-it yourself approaches.
He also described the difference between home piercings and professional ones:
"Professional piercers use double-beveled needles specifically for body piercing. These often are much sharper than safety pins, sewing needles or other home methods. It can take as long as 45 minutes to force a sewing needle through a nostril or upper ear piercing, compared to one second with a professionally-done piercing."
some methods do not adequately sterilize needles and other equipment." Noland said. "Most amateur piercings are placed too shallow, resulting in rejection or tearing of the piercing. They usually are crooked too."
"Flame, alcohol, iodine and other
If infection occurs, treat it immediately. Noland recommends calling the studio where the piercing was done
"More difficult problems, such as allergic reactions may require a visit to the studio, since the piercer often has to see the problem to determine
the cause and appropriate treatment," Noland said. Many times the piercer can suggest a "piercing friendly doctor" to patients.
Jewelry also should be left in place in the event of an infection. It keeps the pierced hole open, allowing drainage and helping medications to work underneath the skin for faster healing.
However, jewelry can many times be the cause of infection. Noland said that unprofessional piercers may use cheap jewelry, such as an ear stud, which could color the skin, change color itself or be too thin for proper care. These should be taken out immediately.
Unlike tattooing, jewelry can be removed with few, if any, scars, assuming that the piercing is done well and is well cared for.
Not all piercing experiences have to be bad ones.
After her eyebrow experience, Karr went on to successfully pierce her navel and her labret, the area between her lip and chin.

Boyfriends perfectly packaged
People can give get wonderful partners in box
By Melissa Long Special to the Kansan
Nathan McClain, St. Louis junior, poses in front of Watson Library. McClain is one of the "hypothetical" new boyfriends for the locally made Boyfriend in a-Box concept. His simulated boyfriend identity is "Collegiate Cole," designed for teen-age girls who want an older, mature boyfriend. Contributed Photo
William Cole is a perfect boyfriend - smart, attractive, responsible and, for $10 dollars, committed to a relationship for as long as his girlfriend wants.
Cole is the oldest of six new teen Boyfriend In-A-Box editions created by Lawrence resident Cathy Hamilton.
S. R. SMITH
Hamilton's product features a box with props including a picture and other evidence to make a girl or woman appear to have a boyfriend. The concept was created for single women struggling with the dating scene and, more specifically, nosy questions regarding the status of their love lives. The teen edition is a spin-off of her adult version.
The prepackaged relationships are stereotypes of ideal boyfriendrs ranging from ages 14 to 19. Each imaginary boyfriend includes a warranty, guaranteeing him to be safe, clean and healthy without a police record, jealous ex-girl-friends or a grade point average below a C+. He also is guaranteed to remember important events, understand mood swings, notice new haircuts and express his feelings. He is a boyfriend who will never cheat, notice when you gain weight, borrow money from you or break up with you.
A hypothetical boyfriend becomes real with Boyfriend-In-A-Box. The package includes a 5x7 picture and a wallet-sized photo, which are perfect for display in a picture frame or for showing friends. Two ticket stubs are evidence of last night's date, as well as the handwritten love letter taped inside a locker at school. And who can forget the thinking-of you greeting card that every perfect guy sends to his girlfriend?
Hamilton used a focus group of teen-age girls from the Lawrence area to compile individual statistics for each boyfriend.
"They were girls that I knew would be savvy about the mainstream. This is mass marketing, and you want to appeal to as many teen-age girls as possible. It's about stereotypes and using nationally known slang," she said.
"Collegiate Cole" is designed for girls who desire an older, mature boyfriend. The 19-year-old college freshman is in a fraternity and
described as romantic, spontaneous and serious about school and partying. The face of William Cole is actually that of Nathan McClain, St. Louis junior.
McClain, a dark haired, 21-year-old with chocolate brown eyes, said he was excited to be the bovfriend of thousands of girls.
"Just to have some complete stranger have my picture in their possession, wow!' he laughed, showing his perfect teeth. "They don't even know me, but I'm their boyfriend, I think it's so funny."
McClain said he was nothing like Cole, avoiding both commitment and the Greek system. He said he doesn't have free time like his hypothetical character.
"I'm taking 16 hours as a graphics major, plus I work for Sunflower Cable. I don't have free time, and if I did, I can't say that I would spend it like Cole."
For girls looking for an athlete, Joseph Collin, a.k.a. "Joey Jock," was created as a social and competitive boyfriend. Matt Collins, Lawrence High School senior, represents the face of this stereotype.
Collins, tall and lean with blond hair, plays tennis, soccer, basketball and hockey. He has a solid physique and a shy manner, uncontrollably blushing about representing a Boyfriend-In-A-Box.
"I don't really want girls from my high school to know about it or buy them. It's really embarrassing," he said, hiding his face under hands, called from working outside.
"Brainy Brett" Michael possesses the two basic qualities every female searches for: intelligence and good looks. Ambitious and well-dressed, he enjoys intellectually challenging girls and reading about European history in his spare time. Dru Hull, Lawrence High graduate, modeled for this ideal boyfriend.
Hull is tall, dark and handsome. His broad shoulders are framed by a black Polo T-shirt, untucked over a pair of worn jeans. A chiseled nose and distinct jaw are complemented by a genuine smile that makes his blue eyes sparkle with confidence.
Attractiveness runs in the Hull family. His younger sister was the cover model on Seventeen magazine's November 1997 issue, and his older sister was a contestant in Kansas State University's beauty pageant three years ago.
Hull is part of his school's choir and takes voice lessons outside of class. He works nearly 40 hours each week at Dillon's, barely leaving enough time to spend with his real girlfriend. Hull said that
although he was excited about being a Boyfriend In-A-Box, his girlfriend did not share his enthusiasm.
"She said she won't buy one, but I think I'll probably give her one anyway," he said.
Three more teens complete the edition. "All-American Alex", or Alexander Douglas, is designed to be the conservative, yet sweet, boy next door. Skylar Paul, also known as "Skater Skye," was designed to appeal to girls on the wild side. This extreme risk taker also is philosophical and loyal. Enrique Louis, or "Rockin' Ricky" plays guitar and enjoys Mexican food. Hamilton said she thought that every teen-age girl would somehow be attracted to at least one of the six stereotypes she created.
The edition features characters with different ethnic backgrounds
and lifestyles, she said.
Each package has a stat sheet, listing vital information about each guy. This includes basic data such as birthday, height, weight, eye color and hair color. Also listed is favorite subjects, wardrobe style, activities, likes, dislikes and goals. Each guy is quoted on his idea of a great date and thoughts on romance.
Although Hamilton's first release, was primarily a gag gift, the new edition is expected to be more of a collectible novel item.
"For the teens, I think it will be a birthday gift, but I also think there will be a lot of girls buying them for themselves and buying all of them," she said. "We wanted to make it collectible so we gave every guy his own design on the package to try to increase the collectibility of it."

Students heed local mythology and superstitions
By Joyce Newman
Kansan staff writer
Step on a crack, and break your mother's back.
Many people also avoid walking under ladders or catching glimpses of a black cat for fear of bad luck.
At the University of Kansas, where the mascot is a mythical bird, superstitions abound.
The Jayhawk is a cross between a blue jay, a noisy quarrelsome creature known for nest robbing, and a sparrow hawk, a hunter. Created in 1848, the Jayhawk has adopted the slogan: Don't turn your back on this bird.
One of the most famous superstitions at the University involves the Campanile. The story is that if an underclassman walk through it before graduation, they will not graduate.
Another fable floating around the Campanile is that taking a date to the hill and kissing them there will ensure marriage.
Lisa Meinen, Baldwin junior, remembers hearing about the superstitions while in junior high school.
"I've known about these stories for a long time. I guess that's why I've never kissed anyone near the Campanile nor walked through it, because I haven't met anyone I want to marry and I definitely want to graduate from KU." Meinen said.
Student Ambassador coordinator Kate McGee said that one superstition that students took to heart involved the statue of former Chancellor Earnest Hiram Lindley. When students have a test in Lindley Hall, rubbing the statue's nose is believed to bring an A.
"I've known about these stories for a long time.I guess that's why I've never kissed anyone near the Campanile nor walked through it, because I haven't met anyone I want to marry and I definitely want to graduate from KU"

"If you look at the statue, you can see that the bronze has been rubbed off of the chancellor's nose." McGee said.
Another myth is the belief that when a virgin graduates from the University, the Jayhawk in front of Strong Hall will fly away. The bird has never flown anywhere, but it did fall from it's perch last year.
The Chi Omega fountain was known for its tradition of being a dunking tank for students who turn 21. Now, however, students throw each other in on birthday days regardless of their age.
Ghost stories often are told about several local spots. One such story is the ghost of Potter Lake. It is said to be a former student who drowned.
Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall also is thought to be haunted. Meinen, a resident assistant at GSP-Corbin, said the north stairwell was thought to be haunted by a male student who fell out of a window.

Prison drama holds viewers captive
Disturbing series from 'Homicide' creator rings true
By Frazier Moore
AP Television Writer
NEW YORK — Many mornings last spring, Edie Falco would step into her rollerblades and skate to iail.
An actress on a roll, she plays Diane Wittlesey, a correctional officer at the Oswald Maximum Security Penitentiary — "Oz" — on the uncompromising HBO series of the same name.
"But I have certainly had this type of role in real life," says Falco with a shrug, recalling years of waiting tables to get by — another service-type job in a blue polyester uniform.
When filming resumed for a second "Oz" season, she again had the good fortune to be living just a few blocks from her Chelsea workplace. The set of Oz and its experimental unit, the modern, bright Cell Block 5 (dubbed Emerald City) are in a former Nabatae cookie factory.
There she joined an ensemble
of actors, including Ernie Hudson, Terry Kinney, Rita Moreno and B.D. Wong, in a fierce, captivating series. Created and co-written by Tom Fontana, whose credits include NBC's "Homicide," this series will not let you go.
To put it mildly, people in Oz have a hard time getting along with each other. On the third of the season's eight episodes, Warden Glynn (Hudson) copes with his daughter's rape on a city street — and with the taunting silence of a con who knows her attacker.
Edie Falco
Another inmate, Schillinger (J.K. Simmons), makes a gruesome power play to restore inmates' respect for the Aryan faction he leads. And the twisted manipulator O'Reilly (Dean Winters) goes into the hospital for a mastectomy.
While it may sound like a freak show, it is not. What makes "Oz" such disturbing television is how it captures the rest of us. At the worst times, it rings familiar. And dreadfully convincing, with its cell block of actors playing brutish and depraved.
Whew.
"It feels really quite comfortable,
"argues Falco, who grew up
"You would not believe it, but for some reason this is the funniest bunch of people I've ever been with in one room. When these guys all get started, I'm sick to my stomach from laughing so hard."
as one of the guys in her Long Island town. "There's little about Diane that has to do with being a woman, so it is not hard to forget, at times, that she's doing a man's job."
Actress
She does that job with no concern for either reforming or tormenting those in her charge. She just wants to pay her bills. A single parent with an ill mother, Diane is another prisoner, held captive by a job that pays slightly better than whatever else she might land. "There isn't the time or the luxury of saying, 'Oh God, this is scary, I don't know if I can hack it.'"
Playing Diane, maybe Falco,
34, can draw on sense-memory
from her years as a self-described bad, grudging waitress.
"I'd been doing low-budget movies for many years, and you
don't get paid a lot, but I had resigned myself to that lifestyle," she recalls. "Then I would be bringing a fajita to somebody, and they would go, 'I saw you in so-and-so.' Horryrifying! I'm covered in tomato juice and smell like drinks, and I get recognized from a part I played. I couldn't bear it."
Thanks to HBO's upcoming series "Sopranos," in which she plays a mob wife with big hair and too much makeup, Falco can expect to park her order pad for good. And she's hoping for a third year of "Oz," which, despite all signs to the contrary, she describes as a behind-the-scenes hoot: Jail, jail, the gang's all here!
"You would not believe it, but for some reason this is the funniest bunch of people I've ever been with in one room." Falco
confides. "When these guys all get started, I'm sick to my stomach from laughing so hard."
After laughing at just the thought of them, she makes a further disclosure.
"I hope they'll forgive me for saying it, but these are not really the toughest bunch of guys." She laughs at the reporter's incredulous expression. "They have the script working in their behalf." Do you agree?
Does that mean that Falco's not as tough as her character?
"Well, the truth is," she says, "I am."
Elsewhere in television
PAN-AFRICAN FILM FESTIVAL: Cable's BET Movies continues its "Pan-African Film Festival," a collection of award-winning films from Africa and the African Diaspora. This week's feature is "Haramuya," a 1995 French drama directed by Jean Brehat. Set in a modern African city, Ouagadougou, the film centers on a devout Muslim named Faco who tries to run his two-wife household in the traditional way. The trouble begins when the ambitious younger son gets involved with his older brother's hoodlum friends. The festival will continue through Aug. 26. Actress CCH Pounder is host.
Commentary
Aaron Spelling on fantasy island, critic says
By David Baudor AP Television Writer
90210.
NEW YORK — Summers are usually lazy, dull times on the television beat, as on television itself. Which is all the more reason to be thankful for Aaron Spelling.
The noted TV producer felt compelled to issue a statement days after a tsunami struck the coast of Papua New Guinea, killing thousands of people.
The tidal waves rolled ashore on the same day that Spelling's cheesy, ratings-challenged soap opera Sunset Beach began a story line in which Southern California is struck by a devastating earthquake and tidal wave.
Sort of a case of life imitating art,
if you consider Sunset Beach art.
"We were appalled to read about the earthquake and tsunami that occurred in New Guinea," said Spelling, producer of Melrose Place, Charlie's Angels and Beverly Hills
"On Sunset Beach, we had also staged an earthquake and tidal wave. Our shooting of these episodes occurred weeks before the New Guinea catastrophe. We sincerely hope that our fans and the press
10
Spelling: Story line on soap opera echoes reality.
realize that. Had we known beforehand of the impending disaster in New Guinea, we would never have created a similar story line."
Wait a minute. "Also staged?" By whom? That Great Director in the Sky? And did the budget division approve the special effects?
Now there are several ways of looking at the motivation behind a statement like this.
It could be that Spelling, child of the human race, simply was trying to express his concern for fellow man in the face of great suffering.
Of course, believing that anyone outside of the Spelling household would care what Aaron Spelling thinks of the Papua New Guinea tragedy is a rather remarkable display of hubris. Even for the man who turned Shannen Doherty and Farrah Fawcett into stars.
Did Spelling fear that fans would think he instantly whipped up a story about a killer wave to take advantage of a tragedy while still fresh in the public's mind?
Well, there were three Joey Buttufuco TV flicks (none by Spelling, in his defense). You can almost hear the whirring of Hollywood minds: Earthquake. Tidal wave. Children thrown into lagoons. People hanging on to trees for dear life.
Or it could be that Spelling, mindful that not everyone may be aware of the Sunset Beach plot twist despite NBC's publicity blitz, was trying to take advantage of a tragic coincidence and let people know.
Kind of a public service, in other words.
Why didn't I think of that?
"No, no, no, no," said Jonathan Zaleski, Spelling's public relations representative. Spelling simply was responding to several press inquiries about the weird timing.
The story line was conceived and filmed more than a month ago, an effort to shake things up on the moribund soap, "It wasn't meant to be in poor taste," Zaleski said.
The Sunset tsunami story line lasts about a month — rather brief for a soap opera, where one night of passion usually lasts a month — so there was nothing else to do but keep it going, he said. At least three weeks of lead time would be necessary to get replacement episodes on the air, and taking
Sunset Beach off for ruruns wasn't an option.
"Once you shoot it, you can't really go back." Zaleski said.
That's OK. We accept the explanation. If the story line is in bad taste, people have the freedom not to watch it. That won't necessarily force a massive, nationwide change in plans.
But it's that last line of Spelling's statement that is most intriguing:
"Had we known beforehand of the impending disaster in New Guinea, we would never have created a similar story line."
Of course, if the people of New Guinea had known about the impending disaster a month ahead of time, they might have picked up their villages and moved to the mountains. As it was, there were about six minutes between the earth shaking and the waves crashing ashore.
Maybe the Great Director will plan ahead next time.

Yoga brings balance to people's daily lives
By Chris Bornigor Special to the Kansan
Lauren Sidwell breathes slowly and deeply, her eyes focused directly in front of her. Her right knee hoves closely above the mat, her right leg completely outstretched and parallel to the floor. Her left leg is tucked into her chest, with her left knee directly above her left foot, which rests on the ground.
As she tries to hold the position, she wavers slightly, as do most of the seven other students around her in the same position.
Yoga, an ancient philosophy originating in India, is not just a physical exercise. The word translates as union or communion. Hatha yoga implies union of body, mind and spirit. The discipline aims to provide increased mental concentration through deep, rhythmic breathing (pranayama).
"I like the fact I can get away for an hour and specifically not think about school and work.The experience is inherently peaceful. Yoga kind of takes you out of your head, like a natural high."
She looks like she is about to jump into a sprint.
The benefits of yoga have been recognized by health insurance companies. Mutual of Omaha and other insurance companies reimburse clients with certain conditions, such as heart problems, for taking yoga classes.
Sidwell, Manhattan junior, is not preparing for a race. She is performing the runner's lunge, one of 13 poses she will attempt today in her introductory hatha yoga class at Lunaria Holistic Health Center, 1103 Massachusetts St.
"It's a good preventive measure," said Stacia Bone, physical therapist at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. "It can improve circulation. You don't want to do it for every condition, like with an injured disc in the back."
"Yoga is a complete system of exercise," Lunaria said. "It can be very cardiovascular. It integrates movement, breath and awareness. There are all sorts of ways it works."
Anna Lunaria, the center's owner, stresses the potential benefits in her hatha yoga classes every Saturday morning.
Since she started teaching in Lawrence five years ago, Lunaria said she had instructed almost 200 KU students among her 600 clients. During her first year of teaching, she had only five students; by her third year, she was teaching more than 100. The
introductory class costs $7 for the first session.
Lunaria became interested in yoga 12 years ago, when she took yoga classes to fulfill her college's physical education requirements. She said that she understood why many people were skeptical about yoga. When she started, she was too.
"You could see this yoga glow on her face," Lunaria said. "Yoga isn't for people who want to lead a shallow existence. It takes a certain amount of patience."
"I didn't really like it at the beginning," Lunaria said. "One day it finally clicked with me. I got this oxygen cocktail feeling, and it made me feel more graceful. It served as a very powerful and direct way to tap into spiritual, mental and physical health."
Lunaria said that most students would experience greater flexibility after about four sessions. However, she said some students discredited yoga because it did not always produce immediate results. One of her students went through 14 classes before it clicked.

The results also can be long term. "I had a triathlete tell me it cured him of chronic back pain," Lunaria said.
Lauren Sidwell
KU student Lauren Sidwell said that being in class and working at a computer all day wound her up.
"Every day I'm intently typing and all crunched up, and won't move for hours," she said. "Now my back doesn't hurt like it did. I'm more flexible, and the poses aren't nearly as hard as they were last week."
She noticed that after only two classes her semester seemed less stressful. She said that she enjoyed going to classes to experience the therapeutic atmosphere.
"I like the fact I can get away for an hour and specifically not think about school and work," Sidwell said. "The experience is inherently peaceful. Yoga kind of takes you out of your head, like a natural high."
Though she describes yoga as a gentle form of exercise, Lunaria said that there was a good chance participants would feel sore the next day.
Therapists warn that certain people risk aggravating minor injuries.
"On the other hand, some people are too flexible and have joints that move around too much, which can cause an injury," Bowman said. "Some just try to aggressively and then get hurt."
Lunaria said that qualified instructors could help prevent injuries.
"If you're practicing yoga without a good adviser, there's an increased possibility of hurting yourself." Lunaria said. "It's important to have a good teacher who understands the body has physical limitations."
Attacks on yoga as a valid form of therapy are misguided, Lunaria said.
"There are a lot of misconceptions," she said. "The students I've taught have had very positive things to say. People have told me, 'Yoga's changed my life.' If someone doesn't feel like they're getting the full effects, they're usually not concentrating enough and letting their minds wander. But those who think it's baloney usually don't bother it."
Lunaria said people who incorporated yoga into their lives would be more emotionally stable.
You can gather some insights about yourself," Lunaria said. "Yoga is almost like yin and yang. It helps us balance and integrate aspects of ourselves."
Recreation Services at the University offers non-credit yoga classes during fall and spring semester.

Kids with hair loss get gift
Donated locks provides wigs for kids in need
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Lisa Taylor wrung her hands in her lap and choked back tears. Her heart raced and her breathing was labored as she gazed straight ahead, not wanting to see what was going on behind her.
This was no ordinary haircut.
This was her birthday.
Taylor, 38, had spent 10 years
growing her strawberry blonde
hair past her waist.
But when she learned about Locks of Love, an organization that turns donations of real hair into wigs for sick children, she decided she could spare a few strands.
strands.
"It was for kids who didn't have hair," she said, her voice trembling as a stylist chopped off a foot-long ponytail from her mane. "And mine will grow back."
That's not the case for the children who receive the special wigs. Most have alopecia areata, a disease of the autoimmune system that causes hair loss. It can
range from patchy spots on their heads to total body hair loss.
Other children have suffered severe burns or lost their hair during treatment for cancer.
during treatment of KNIGHT
Peggy Knight understands the trauma baldness can cause for kids.
At age 14, alopecia areata robbed her of the hair on her head, arms and her eyebrows. She founded Locks of Love a year ago after a childhood friend, now an adult, grew her hair and gave it to Knight.
10 Knight.
"She said, 'It was so difficult to watch you endure all the teasing as a child,'" Knight said.
as a child. Knight said.
Since it began, the Fort Lauderdale-based nonprofit group has provided about 35 of the $3,000 wigs to children who can't afford the special hair prosthetics. Knight also has a for-profit company that sells wigs.
So far, more than 2,500 bundles of hair have been donated, and they have come from far and wide.
Kasey Anderson, an 8-year-old Girl Scout from Fairhope, Ala., snipped off her 24-inch locks in February. Her reasoning: "This is what Jesus would do if he could do. Why not me?"
could do it. Why not? Donors must be able to provide at least 10 inches of hair bundled in a pony tail or braid. It must be perfectly dry and not overly damaged by color or treatment. It can be mailed in a plastic bag in a padded envelope.
It takes a dozen pony tails to make one wig. A mold is taken of each child's head, and then a sillicon cap — something like a swimming cap — is made and dyed the proper complexion of their scalp. A wig maker in New Zealand carefully applies each donated strand of hair individually to a cap — a four-month process.
Jennifer Milian thinks it will be worth the wait.
The 16-year-old from Bartlett, Tenn. has alopecia universals—a total loss of hair on her body. It began with clumps falling out of her head at age 8, then grew back with some treatments. By the eighth grade, she lost it all.
eighth grade, she loses.
She began wearing a wig. But it was made of synthetic hair and looked anything but natural. Her classmates were curious, sometimes cruel.
"That's the one I got teased with," she said about one wig. "It was really noticeable, it didn't move."
really noticeable, it is. The benefit of the Locks of Love wigs is that they are made with real hair and can be cut and styled. Jennifer was overwhelmed when she learned strangers would donate hair to help her.
oulance that "I really appreciate the fact that they cut their hair," she said. "I wish I could say more than
thanks to them."
Brian McGowan, 32, said knowing he was helping a sick child was thanks enough. Stylist Steve Ramsey at Cut And Dry salon in West Palm Beach recently ran a razor across McGowan's thick, dark brown pony tail — leaving him about 10 inches lighter.
"It's going to a good cause — it's for kids, and I'm sure at that age it's tough not to have a full head of hair." McGowan said.
in hair, McCown was in the next chair, Taylor was a bit more emotional about her donation. She broke into tears after the clipping was done.
The people who are donating their hair, it's almost like they're giving a part of themselves to somebody." Ramsey said. "It's almost like they're getting a limb cut off."
For those who do not have long enough hair, some area salons have donated free haircuts in exchange for a monetary donation to Locks of Love.
Knight said she hoped her organization's efforts eventually would attract a corporate sponsor.
"We're hair rich and cash poor," she said.
poor, she said.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — There is a Hindi proverb about a kernel of grain being smashed between two grindstones. In English, the condition is described as being caught between a rock and a hard place.

well. The 30-year-old likes his life in the United States. He has a good job as a hotel manager. He has many friends, plenty of party invitations, a fast car and a loud stereo.
But he has strong ties to his native traditions. He still lives with his parents. He has a 2 a.m. curfew. And he is considering a custom many of his American-born friends might find unusual—an arranged marriage.

Arranged marriages, like many fixtures of Indian culture, evolved in part out of the Indian caste system.
Marriages were a union between two people as well as a social contract between two families of the same caste.

For Bhojani, that means a woman who is educated, from India's Gujarat province, Hindu, vegetarian and preferably from the same subcaste.
Marriage.Com has files of marriage-minded Indians, complete with pictures, caste, subcaste, religion, language and astrological chart.
"We've had about 50 or 60 marriages since we've opened," Sodha said. For an extra fee, she will help in the matchmaking process herself.
"My parents checked to see if we would be compatible. They checked our astrological charts and that's how my marriage took place. It was something like a blind date but it's worked."

Bhojani said he was in no hurry. He would like to fall in love first—in India that's called a love marriage—but he is not opposed to an arranged marriage.

Options passes lower entertainment costs
Tickets available for movies, sports
By Graham K. Johnson
Kansan staff writer
University of Kansas organizations offer discounts via special passes for a variety of student activities and services.
Student Union Activities has an annual movie pass for $45 and a semester pass for $25 to see more than 50 shows, said Sue Buckley, manager of programs for SUA. The pass is available through the enrollment center's options card or at the SUA box office on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union.
For those wanting to hit the local amusement parks before they close, SUA has a super pass for $34. The pass admits two people for one day at Worlds of Fun or one person to both Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun for two days, said Mary Smith, SUA's box office director.
SUA also offers international student identification cards for $20. The card helps students traveling get insurance, flight discounts and hotel discounts around the world. Smith said.
For only a quarter, students can register their bikes with Douglas County officials
at the SUA office.
"We just do it as a service, because so many people ride bikes here on campus," Bucklev said.
Students with a taste for fine arts will not have to break their pop-culture budgets with the All Arts Card, available through the options card or at the Murphy Hall box office. The $150 annual pass admits students to at least 15 Lied Center events and University Theatre and Music and Dance department shows, said Karen Christilles, public relations director for the Lied Center.
"With the pass, the cost turns out to roughly five dollars per event for the Lied Center shows." Christilles said. "It's a
wonderful deal for students."
wonderful deal for students
Christilles also said that all seats were half price for students at the Lied Center, but events still were cheaper overall with the pass. Students can volunteer to usher events and see them for free, Christilles said.
For sports enthusiasts, the All Sports Combo pass provides student tickets to the Kansas Relays, home football games and coupons for all home basketball games for $81, said Kathy Frederickson, ticket associate with the Athletics department.
The pass is available only through the options process but there might be extra passes available through the ticket office in Allen Field House, Frederickson said.
Many of these passes can be obtained at the options table located just outside the enrollment center in Strong Hall.
The table, set up by the Organizations and Leadership office, operates during spring enrollment and allows returning students to sign up for passes and other options, which are billed to their tuition, said Patti Steffan, options fee payment coordinator.
She said that new students going through orientation would be able to stop by the options table until August 23. But if returning students did not sign up during the spring, they are out of luck. Those students will have to go to each organization themselves, Steffan said.

SERVE THEIR COUNTRY
By Courtney Kroutzer
Special to the Kansan
It is 5:30 a.m. and John Glaser, Overland Park senior, groggy rubs his eyes and rolls from his bunk at Camp Pendleton in San Diego as a horn blares revelle through the loudspeaker, piercing the stillness of the quiet morning.
Outside, the base springs to life. Artillery fire sounds like thunder in the distance, sometimes shaking the ground even though it is miles away. Harrier jets scream over the horizon and the sound of 70 heels hitting the pavement echoes outside as the platoon sergeant barks out the cadence.
Lance corporal John Glaser, Overland Park senior, holds his gun as his platoon receives lessons about use and care of their weapons. Glaser has spent time during two summers at Camp Pendleton in San Diego for R.O.T.C. Contributed Photo
While his friends spend their summers lying beside the pool and going out every night, Glaser, a lance corporal in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves, has spent two summers on a military base.
The six-year contract for reserves requires the commitment of one weekend a month and a portion of each summer.
Glaser is one of about 265 University of Kansas students enlisted in the military who spends part of each summer in training.
These students begin their training at boot camp. Air Force camp lasts six weeks, Army and Navy camp lasts eight weeks and Marines camp lasts 12 weeks. The following summer involves six to eight weeks of specialized military job training.
After completing basic and specialized training, reservists spend the remaining four summers in two-week training sessions.
The students are paid for their time served. Pay values among the branches of the military and according to rank and length of weekend drills.
Last summer, Glaser spent eight weeks at desert like Camp Pendleton, where controlled burns kept the earth scorched and dusty.
The only break in the dry, dead scenery was the lush grass, shrubbery and palm trees that surrounded the place Glaser called home — his barracks.
"With the help of sprinklers, the barracks were like an oasis," Glaser said.
A typical day began at 5:30 a.m. and involved 12 grueling hours of weaponry lessons, training exercises and physical conditioning.
At 6 p.m., the Marines were allowed free time.
"At the beginning of free time everyone eagerly surrounds the platoon sergeant for mail call." Glaser said. "I would say 90 percent of Marines' favorite thing is mail call."

"It was hard at night," Glaser said. "I would be going to bed at 10 o'clock knowing that my friends were just getting ready to go out."
Taps, played over the loudspeaker, end each day at 10 p.m. Tired Marines climb into their bunks for lights out, and the base becomes still.
The rest of the evening is spent reading mail, playing cards or lifting weights. Shining boots, taking a shower and preparing gear for the next day are common activities during this time.
Paul Quirago, Long Island, N.Y., senior and a corporal in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves, said, "I enjoyed the monthly weekend drills and annual training because I like doing real training, but I do feel like I missed on partying and girls."
Glaser said that reservists got more homestick than active-duty Marines because, despite identical training, reservists were not full-time Corps members.
Both Quiroga and Glaser said coming home was a great feeling.
"When I got home and was walking down the jetway I can't describe how I felt. It was the best thing in the world," Glaser said. "I was anxious to do the things I missed when I was away. I had pride in what I had accomplished and relief that it was over."
Chad Beeman, Overland Park senior and a specialist in the U.S. Army National Guard, spent his summer two years ago at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri.
He said that although he had learned a lot about responsibility, there were some drawbacks.
you face discrimination as a college student from those who are working full time and either can't afford or don't have
the desire to go to school. Beeman said.
"They enjoy giving you a hard time."
Quiroga said the biggest drawback was the threat of war, with its possibility of injury and death.
“It’s not that I am as concerned with my own death,” Quiroga said. “I’m concerned with how it would affect my family.”
Last November, Glaser's platoon was placed on alert when tensions arose between Iraq and the United States.
"It was very difficult to try and put that out of my mind and concentrate on my schoolwork." Glaser said.
Despite negative aspects, all three men said their experiences had been rewarding.
"It has been a valuable experience," Beeman said. "If I had it to do over again, I would do it."

Early action initiative help secure financial aid
By Duane Wagler
Kansan staff writer
University of Kansas students interested in financial aid and scholarships can help themselves by being prompt.
"We actually have a priority date of March 1 for the following academic year," she said.
Brenda Maigaird, associate director of student financial aid, said that it was wise to apply early because most federal grants and loans have limited funds.
Students still can apply for fall-semester financial aid through November, Maigaard said.
Federal grants available to undergraduates include the Federal Pell Grant and the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant. Maigaard said that both grants required students to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA.
Students who have children younger than five in child care can apply for a child-care grant beginning Sept. 1, Maigaard said. Students interested in this grant still should complete the FAFSA by March because eligibility is based on financial need.
Students who need to borrow money for school have several options, including the Federal Direct Student Loan and the Federal Perkins Student Loan. Maigaard recommended the Perkins Loan, in part because of its 5 percent interest rate.
"It's a great loan," she said. "If you have to borrow, it's the best way to do it."
Students also can borrow money through the private KU Endowment Loan, which does not require completion of the FAPSA. Undergraduates who receive a KU Endowment Loan can borrow up to $2,500, while graduates can receive up to $3,000. Application materials are available at the office of the KU Endowment Association, in Youngberg Hall on West Campus.
Maigaard said that funding for the federal work-study program had increased this year. Although much of this year's funds have been allotted, students can find out if more work-study money is available at the Office of Student Financial Aid's website, www.ukans.edu/~osfa.
This is the fourth year that the Office of Student Financial Aid has been designated as one of more than 100 federally supported experimental sites. Maigaard said that being an experimental site eliminated some red tape.
for example, University freshmen can receive their aid immediately instead of having to wait the federally mandated 30 days.
"It's been a real advantage for students at KU that we participate in this," Maigard said.
Students should know that the University is a direct-lending institution able to provide promissory notes for loans, Maizard said.
Students are encouraged to ask questions of the office, which is located in 50 Strong Hall. "We really encourage students to know what their rights and responsibilities are associated with borrowing." Maigard said.
Students who are interested in scholarships should apply early, said Alan Cerveny, director of admissions and scholarships. The priority deadline for new student scholarship applications is Jan. 15.
Cerveny said that students interested in scholarships should inquire at their respective academic departments.

RAs make things go smoothly
Students enforce rules, organize social activities
By Kristi Hartloy
Kansan staff writer
Resident Assistants Nick Walker, Wichita senior, and Bobbi Weatherhold, Emporia senior, greet students with smiles and quick hellos in Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall.
The residents, comfortable with Walker and Weatherhold, eagerly return greetings.
"It's one of the best jobs to have," Walker said of being an RA. "It's good to live so close to campus and have time to study. I know if I lived off campus, I would have never met so many people and made so many friends."
RAs work at the front desk of their hall six hours a week. They also have to spend three nights and three weekends on call.
While on call, they are responsible for building security.
RAs receive $40 every two weeks, reimbursement for room and board and all cafeteria meals.
Weatherhold said she would rather be an RA than live in an apartment.
"I have to be around people," she said.
Weatherhold said that she enjoyed being able to go down the hall and knock on doors to ask friends to a movie.
"I couldn't do that if I lived in apartment complex." she said.
Disciplining residents is the downside of being an RA.
"When they act up and you have to yell at them, that's not very fun." Walker said.
RAS keep the halls safe by enforcing the rules.
"That's the hardest part, being the Gestapo when you're trying to be their friend at the same time." Weatherhold said.
Residents sign roommate contracts to help curb problems that might arise, such as late-night activities, Walker said.
"It's one of the best jobs to have. It's good to live so close to campus and have time to study.I know if I lived off campus, I would have never met so many friends."
"It's kind of a good way to establish some communication about those things." Weatherhold said.

If problems cannot be worked out, RAs try to mediate them.

Wichita senior and resident assistant
"It teaches them how to work it out and come up with compromises." Weatherhold said.
RAs have to come up with a different floor program each month. The programs must be either educational, physical, spiritual, social or culturally diverse. Weatherhold said.
"A lot of times we try to tailor the programs for the specific needs of the residents on our floors." Walker said.
RAs do two social activities a month with residents, such as going to a movie or bowling.
The main hiring period for RAS is during the spring semester. To
become an RA, students must be at least a sophomore.
Interested students are required to submit a written application and essay about why they want to become an RA and what they think are the duties of an RA.
Applicants must then interact with seven or eight people and are judged on their performance by instated RAs and senior staff members. If they make the cut, applicants have a personal interview with a panel of RAs and senior staff. Applicants who make it to the next level, interview at three residence halls with senior staff and RAs. After the interviews, RAs are chosen.
If you are interested in an RA position, contact the Department of Student Housing, 864-4560.
Students seeking food for thought encounter more Mrs. E's options
By Kristi Hartloy
Kansan staff writer
Students eating at the Ekdahl Dining Commons this fall will find a few changes, including an expanded menu and longer hours.
Sheryl Kidwell, dietitian unit manager, said the cafeteria's menu would be expanded. A breakfast sandwich and new pasta and vegetarian items also will be added.
Kidwell said that offering more items at one line would cut down on waiting time.
"We're trying to make it a one-stop-shopping kind of idea," Kidwell said. "Students can have their salad, breadsticks and choose from two toppings and two pastas."
More vegetarian entrees also are being added to the menu because staff research indicated that students wanted more vegetarian options.
"Every year we've tried to cater more and more to the vegetarian population," Kidwell said.
E's Express is another dining option for students living in Daisy Hill residence halls.
"It's been tremendously successful," Kidwell said. "It really helped take the bottleneck out of Mrs. E.'s."
E's Express has continental breakfasts and sack lunches for students who do not have time to sit down and eat. It is located in Hashinger Hall. The program began last August, serving 500 students. Kidwell said that by May 1998, more than 900 students were taking their lunch from E's Express.
E's Express hours have been expanded to 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
DINING HOURS
Daisy Hill dining hours:

Monday-Friday:
■ lunch, 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Weekends:
brunch, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
dinner, 4 to 6:30 p.m.
E's Express
Last spring, E's Express was only open from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Sharon Scrivenner, Winchester freshman and Mrs. E's employee, said she thought more students liked eating in the cafeteria than at E's Express because students could sit down and eat a meal with their friends.
Kidwell said to break up the monotony, all of the cafeterias on campus hold special events throughout the year.
Some special meals include a tailgate party in September, steak and special desserts on Halloween and a traditional Thanksgiving meal and food fair at Oliver Hall in November.
"We do a little more merchandising and marketing of our food and make it a little more fun." Kidwell said.
Scrivner said she liked the cafeteria's special events because they were well-attended by students and the workers enjoyed presenting the events.
"It was fun to set up and prepare all the different foods, because it was different from the regular cheeseburgers and fries," Scrivner said.

Students live the good life in Templin
Remodeled hall has few problems, residents report

Special to the Kansan
The first year of living in remodeled Templin Hall gave KU students a firsthand look at the future of University of Kansas residence halls — and the future appears to have more amenities and fewer problems.
Paul Turvey, Lawrence sophmore and Templin Hall president during 1998 spring semester, said he noticed fewer incidents of vandalism in Templin than what he saw a year earlier as an Ellsworth Hall resident.
"When you move into a room that is nice, you have more of a tendency to keep it nice," he said. "Templin has a good community interaction and the lower number of people gives us a better sense of community."
Kimberly Grassmeyer, assistant director of student housing, said she had not reported any staff harassment, noise violations or intentionally pulled fire alarms for Templin.
"I think people may respond to each other a little better there," Grassmever said.
Two Templin roommates from the fall 1997 semester, Traci Cuevas and Sara Huerter, echoed Turvey's and Grassmeyer's assessments.
"It is a pretty safe environment," Cuevas said. "Everyone seems to get along here."
The year before, Cuevas,
Topeka sophomore, and Huerter,
Pittsburg sophomore, lived on
the same floor of Ellsworth Hall.
"There was just more noise and distractions there." Cuevas said.
"If you wanted to be by yourself, you would have to leave the premises."
Huerter and Cuevas applied to live in Templin for many reasons
Huerter said, "I saw the floor plans, and I liked that it had all
me space with the convenience of living on Daisy Hill. But the main reason I wanted to live here was because my friends planned to live here."
The big closets, personal bathroom and kitchen area also annealed to Huerter.
Cuevas said that she thought Templin offered a better chance for privacy than Ellsworth, but that living in Templin might have drawbacks for freshmen.
"Templin is not as conducive to meeting people as other dorms because everything need is in your room," Cuevas said.
Other problems Cuevas described were with the study rooms and the bathrooms.
"I don't like the study rooms being on each floor because they can become a noisy place at times," she said. "The bathroom becomes a problem when more than one person has the same morning class time."
able and very convenient."
Both Cuevas and Huerter agreed that Templin's positive qualities outweighed the negative ones. Neither planned to live in Templin this semester because they wanted to live off-campus.
Down the hall from Cuevas and Huerter, Steve Davis, Overland Park sophomore, and his three roommates had everything they needed piled into their rooms.
In the living room there were two couches, a television and videocassette recorder, a stereo, a new wooden desk and carpet. There also was a kitchen area equipped with a sink, cabinets, a microwave, a refrigerator, silverware and enough food to last the residents a couple of weeks.
"I never really have to leave my room if I don't want to," Davis said. "Everything I need is here."
Davis and his roommates also had another couch in a bedroom, two additional televisions, three computers, two mountain bikes and an extra refrigerator. Two of the computers are connected to the Internet through the University's ethernet connections.
"It is nice to be able to have enough room for everybody's stuff and to not be crowded," Davis said. "My room is comfort-
Room modifications were designed to satisfy the changing needs of students wanting to live on campus.
"Students who are coming to college now are from families of one, two or three kids who may have never shared a room with anybody before," said Ken Stoner, director of student housing.
Stoner said that in 1996, the year before Templein was remodeled, only 200 men lived in a space designed for 430.
"They were renting the rooms
as singles so they could get more space," Stoner said. "Now 280 people can live there. You can say we lost over 100 capacity, but the capacity is no good to you if people aren't renting them as intended."
Lewis Hall will be the next residence hall that will undergo renovations. The transformation began spring 1998 and will continue until the fall of 1999.
Stoner said that after Lewis was remodeled, it would be very similar to Templin because it was built as a duplicate of Tem-
"The only difference with Lewis will be that the single rooms become doubles," Stoner said.
Stoner said that there would not be a housing shortage with the closing of Lewis this semester.
Along with room renovations, the building also will be modernized to meet safety and mechanical building codes.
According to a Board of Regents report, the estimated cost of the renovations will be almost $6 million
Stoner said that the University would finance the renovation by
issuing revenue bonds.
The cost of living in Templin for the 1989-99 school year is $4,700 for regular two-or four-person rooms with a full meal plan.
Residents of Ellsworth, McColum and Hashinger halls will pay slightly less than $4,000 for a twoperson room and full meal plan.
Stoner said that all of the residence halls would be renovated the future, but not necessarily with suite-style rooms.
Renovations on Ellsworth are scheduled to begin in the summer of 2000, and the hall should reopen for the fall 2001 semester.

Ombudsman listens to all
Campus Dispute hears complaints about the University
By Graham K. Johnson
Kansan staff writer
Members of the KU community who need to make an official complaint about the University of Kansas might want to speak with the University ombudsman.
"What the ombudsman office has always done is respond to whatever kind of conflict or frustration or problems people have and, when it's called for, try to provide some kind of assistance to get it worked out."
The ambudsman is an official designated to hear complaints, investigate and mediate disputes within the University. For 13 years, Robert Shelton, professor of religious studies, has served as ambudsman from his small office in Smith Hall.
This summer Shelton expanded the ombudsman's ability to resolve campus conflicts by creating Campus Dispute Assistance Services. The new program is designed to provide more specialized resources for dealing with conflict, Shelton said.
Campus Dispute Services will provide assistance in disputes with administration and faculty, counseling on University policy and basic problem-solving advice. Shelton said the new
"What the ombudsman office has always done is respond to whatever kind of conflict or frustration or problems people have and, when it's called for, try to provide some kind of assistance to get it worked out," Shelton said.
Robert Shelton University ombudsman
program would involve eight to 10 faculty and other individuals with training in conflict resolution.
Use of Campus Dispute Services is free and confidential, he said.
Shelton said that even though he would help anybody with any problem, he did not want the new program to be viewed as a personal counseling center. The ombudsman's office focuses on disputes and complaints with the University or people associated with the University.
Shelton said that many of the people he had counseled were young undergraduates who were confused by the bureaucracy of the University or felt wronged by it.
"If we are going to get anything done, we have to have institutions, and institutions tend to get bureaucratized," Shelton said. "But individuals have to learn how to work with those things if they want get on with their lives."
Shelton said that such cases usually involved discussing the problem and providing options for people. But his office is empowered to obtain the
records of all parties involved and to help them workout a resolution satisfactory to both sides, Shelton said.
Though the ombudsman's office has no judicial or administrative power, Shelton said it commanded respect because of its status as an independent office appointed directly by the chancellor.
Jo Hardesty, director of Legal Services for Students, said that her office had referred students with complaints against the University to other offices, including the ombudsman, in the past.
Student Senate, which funds Legal Services, would not allow Legal Services to counsel students with such complaints, Hardesty said. Recent legislation by Student Senate repealed that restriction.
She said that Legal Services would start its own program this month to help students with complaints against the University.

In-state tuition difficult for out-of-staters to obtain
For a Chicago student to pay the same tuition as a student from Leavenworth, he or she must establish Kansas residency.
By Molinda Weaver
Kansan staff writer
This is more difficult than it sounds.
There are three criteria to meet before getting instate tuition.
The applicant must have lived in Kansas for 365 days prior to the semester for which he is hoping to receive in-state tuition and be able to apply documented proof of residence, such as a note from a landlord or a lease agreement.
The second criteria is that the applicant must rely on in-state sources for financial support. A job that provides the student with enough money to pay all expenses counts, but if he or she relies on parents who live outside of Kansas, the student is ineligible. Financial aid does not count for or against the applicant.
The final regulation requires applicants to prove they plan to remain in Kansas indefinitely, not just during their education.
Ways to prove this include getting a Kansas driver's license, registering to vote in Kansas, registering a car in Kansas or paying Kansas taxes.
"The third prong makes or breaks people," said Zach Weiland, Leavenworth graduate student. "You can get a Kansas driver's license or register to vote in Kansas, but sometimes you still will be denied because it's arbitrary."
"It is a hard process, but for financial purposes,
it's worth it." Weiland said.
Weiland claims his home town as Leavenworth, but since he moved out of the state for six years, and his parents also moved, he lost Kansas residency. As a law student, he watched his tuition fall from $12,500 to $500 a semester by establishing residency.
Good ways for full-time students to prove they are not in Kansas only for an education are to become licensed in a practicing profession in Kansas, buy a home or accept a permanent full-time job.
"The biggest misconception is that KU makes the rules," said Marla Herron, assistant registrar. "Students come in here angry at the University,

but it isn't us who make up the rules."
Because the University is a state-funded school, the state legislature decides who is or is not a resident. All of the Board of Regents schools follow the same rules.
Any student who is rejected can appeal. The appeals committee makes the final decision.
It is the Office of the University Registrar that reads through the applications and decides if they meet the requirements.
If they are rejected again, they must file a suit in district court.
Students can reapply every semester.
"The law is pretty straight forward," Herron said. "Any student who is rejected can figure out why and how they can fix it."
The advantage of going through all the trouble are the tremendous tuition savings. This fall, instate students will pay $69.05 for each credit hour. Out-of-state students will pay $283.00.
The law does have loopholes that allow students to receive in-state tuition without completing the residency process.
"I cheated," said Dane Bailey, St. Joseph, Mo., sophomore. "My brother already lived here, so I moved to Lawrence my senior year of high school. If you graduate from a Kansas high school, you are automatically qualified for in-state tuition."
For students who don't have that option, Weli land has a piece of advice.
"Be persistent, but don't be rude," Weiland said. "Inquire and follow up. Go in person because it's harder to turn down a person than a piece of paper."

Parking stickers replace hang tags for cars
Park-n-ride saves off-campus students from finding a spot
By Liz Wriston Kansan staff writer
Many students receive parking tickets for invalid parking permits and insufficient meter payments. These are some of the most frequent parking violations, said Donna Hultine, assistant director of the Parking Department.
"Some students don't seem to realize that there is no free parking." Hultine said. "A student must either buy a parking permit or be ready to pay the meter."
Four different parking permits are available based on student and faculty needs. These permits are color-coded for parking places that decrease in campus convenience based on the status of permit recipients.
The most convenient on-campus parking permits are reserved for school deans, professors with long years of faculty service and higher-level campus positions. These passes allow permit holders to park in blue lots and along Jayhawk Boulevard.
The red lots are reserved for campus design inspectors and faculty with budgetary responsibilities. The green lots are available to students who live in residence halls and campus housing, and the yellow lots are for students living in off-campus housing.
The parking department now offers parking stickers to students in place of the hang tags that have been used in the past.
The department hopes that the use of these stickers will cut down on the number of parking permits stolen each year. Students are asked to apply the parking stickers to the outside of their rear, driver-side window. The application of the sticker to the outside of the car will keep the sticky adhesive from damaging heating coils in the window, Hutline said.
"Parking should be a nonevent," said Hultine. "The new stickers provide easy vehicle clarification and keep students from losing their permits or exchanging them with friends."
The department also has added a "park-n-ride" program. The new program allows students who live off campus to purchase a special yellow parking sticker that enables them to park their vehicles in the Lied Center parking lot, and then ride a bus that takes them to campus. The combination permit allows students to "park-n-ride" between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. The cost is $120 for the regular school year.
"It will keep off-campus students from spending their time looking for a parking spot," said Don Kearns, director of the parking department.
The new system has not been the cause for any concern at the Lied Center.
"I don't think that any parking problems will occur as a result of the new program," said Fred
"I think that it is a good idea,but it won't be helpful for everyone.I share a car and I think that it would make the program a little inconvenient for me. I also think that it is very expensive."

Pawlicki, director of operations for the Lied Center. "I think the system will allow students to take advantage of the campus convenience."
Some students remain unsure as to whether the program will meet the needs of off-campus students.
"I think that it is a good idea, but it won't be helpful for everyone," said Jin Park, Arkansas City senior. "I share a car, and I think that it would make the program a little inconvenient for me. I also think that it is very expensive."
For students in car pools and with multiple-car availability, the parking department will continue to provide hang tags. Larger hang tags will be available for faculty use.
Students can purchase permits at the parking department, 1501 Irving Hill Road. Fall parking stickers went on sale July 15. Kearns recommends that students purchase their stickers as soon as possible.
Parking 101
Students must purchase permits to park in yellow-coded lots any time from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Yellow lots are restricted from the first day of classes until the last day of finals.
During that time, a permit is required to avoid being ticketed.
The yellow lots on main campus are marked in black, and the number of each is given beside it.

Libraries bound to have books
Huge collection made accessible by staff, tours
Elissa Harris Kansan staff writer
Students will find information at their fingertips as soon as they open the doors of any campus library.
The libraries are more than just a book lover's fantasy. Along with about 3.5 million books, the 10 University of Kansas libraries own thousands of manuscripts, photographs, music scores, maps, magazines and newspapers.
New acquisitions add about two miles of shelf space to the collection every year, said William J. Crowe, vice chancellor for information services and dean of libraries.
With so many materials, students may wonder how to become familiar with the libraries.
Guided library tours will be offered today through Aug. 26. Watson Library, the University's main library, also offers a self-guided audio-cassette-based tour and an online tutorial.
"The fact is, we are a very large research library, and that should be read as a positive, but it does seem daunting to many new students," said Rob Melton, publications coordinator for the libraries.
Kathy Graves, Watson reference librarian, said that the staff was available to point students in the right direction.
"We want people to know that we are here to help with any question about library materials," she said.
Besides encyclopedias, periodical guides and the online catalog,
the libraries also have computer databases that provide information from around the world.
Many of the databases are connected to the Internet. Printed materials and staff are at the reference desk to help students use to the databases.
Students with a current KUID can access library resources. The borrowing time for most materials is six weeks.
Self-service copy machines are available in all libraries except Spencer Research Library. Copy cards can be purchased for $1 in most libraries.

Smart card works for pay-phones, snacks, ATM
By Duane Wagler
Kansan staff writer
This is the first semester that all University of Kansas students will have the new KUID smart card.
Created by CyberMark, the card can serve as a Commerce Bank ATM debit card and long-distance phone card, among other uses. Nancy Miles, smart card coordinator, said that she thought it was important that students remember the card's primary function.
"The KU card is, above anything else, an ID card," she said.
Like the old ID card, the smart card will continue to provide access to residence halls and serve as a library card or a meal card for resident hall students.
Unlike the old ID card, Miles said the smart card could be used for buying snacks and sodas at the vending machines and for laundry in the residence halls.
Cardholders can put up to a $100 credit on the card, but the chip that records the credit is not pin-protected in case the card is lost or stolen.
Miles said card readers should be installed in Robinson Center by the fall for access and equipment check out.
With a new KUID card comes new challenges. KU on Wheels has been experimenting by using a pilot chip reader in one bus during the summer, but the pilot bus program has run into problems. Cybermark, the card's manufacturer, is working on a

solution and is supposed to provide the University with equipment by Sept. 1, said Nicole Skalla, transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels in an article In The University Daily Kansan.
Skalla said that because of the delay on the equipment, students would be issued temporary passes until the technology was ready.
But some students are skeptical about the efficiency of the smart card.
"I think it might be more of a nuisance," said Jason Anderson. Overbrook senior.
Besides using the card to check out library materials, students eventually will be able to use their cards in photocopiers. Kent Miller, library facilities director, said that they should be installed by Christmas.
"We will get some relief in terms of cash-handling," he said. "At this point, we empty the copiers and count the money and deposit it. That will change."
Miles said that she thought students would come to appreciate the versatility of the card.
"It will be one card that they carry that they can use at many different places," she said.

Library architects plans focused on history
Campus buildings speak volumes about two eras
THE HISTORY OF THE LIBRARY
By Duane Wagler
Kansan staff writer
Watson Library stands in the center of campus. The building is an example of the monumental approach to library architecture, featuring thick walls with high-set windows. Photo by Joseph Griffin/KANSAN.
Hamid Mohtashemipour finds the atmosphere at Watson Library gloomy.
it's just dark and dreary — the kind of place you fall asleep," the Leawood junior said. She prefers to study at Anschutz Science Library, where she said the atmosphere is better.
Study atmosphere has concerned academic library builders since the first century B.C. Vitruvius, a Roman architect and engineer, advised that library rooms faced east so scholars could have the benefit of the morning sun as they bent over their scrolls.
More than 2,000 years later, architects still were trying to perfect library designs for students. This century has seen two distinct library architecture styles, and University of Kansas students can see both of them represented in Watson Library and Anschutz Science Library.
Watson Library, built in 1924, is an example of the monumental approach to library architecture dominant in the first part of the century. Alvin Toffler, in his essay Libraries, describes the monumental style as emphasizing thick, immovable walls with highest windows allowing sunshine to filter into the building. The efficient use of space often was dismissed in favor of wide stairwells, huge concrete columns, woof
shelving and claustrophobic stacks.
Monumental libraries were meant to evoke a sense of awe and respect, not unlike walking into a cathedral. Stephen Grabow, professor of architecture, appreciates such libraries.
"I have no problems with libraries looking monumental," he said. "I think that's a reasonable interpretation of their function, which is the storage of the knowledge of civilization."
"It seems to be more of a traditional library setting," he said.
Preston Barnes, Lawrence junior, likes the venerable feel of Watson. He said that he occasionally studied at Anschutz but preferred the atmosphere in Watson.
The 1940s brought a change in library design that remains to this day. The emphasis changed from monumental to modular, with greater flexibility to allow for openness and to provide for new technology. A floor plan largely devoid of interior walls became the standard library design. Built in 1989, Anschutz Library is an example of the modular design.
Lindsey Chalfant, Topeka sophomore, said she preferred the newer design of Anschutz to Watson.
so.
"It's brighter," she said as she sat studying at Anschutz. "It seems more open."
Jim Ranz was dean of libraries at the time of Anschutz's construction. Facilities such as stairwells, restrooms and elevators purposely were moved out of the main flow of traffic in Anschutz, he said.
"The main difference is we got
all the fixed facilities out of the heart of the building," he said.
William J. Crowe, current dean of libraries, said he thought that Anschutz's design worked logically and was efficient and flexible.
"You know where you are in

that building instinctively, if you have any experience in academic life," he said. "You walk in the door; you can see the circulation desk; you can see the reference desk; you can see the elevator; you can get a sense of the stacks and copying. It's very logically laid out from a user's perspective."
Anschutz had more flexibility for the user, said Channette Kirby, a Watson library assistant who had worked at both libraries.
"There's not nearly the choice that you have in Anschutz of different sizes whether it's huge study rooms, or just one-person seating," she said. "If you're doing classes here in Watson, it's hard to find a space big enough that you're not intruding on other people."
Although several renovations at Watson — the most recent completed in 1982 — have dissolved some of its monumental aspects, the stacks continue to present their own charm — or confusion, some would say. Architecture professor Grabow said he liked the atmosphere in the stacks.
"You get the feeling that you're hunting for something and when you find it, there's this great satisfaction," he said. "You've gone down to the catacombs."
Ryan David, Independence junior, said he preferred the nooks and crannies of the Watson stacks for marathon studying.
"I have no problems with libraries looking monumental. I think that's a reasonable interpretation of their function, which as the storage of the knowledge of civilization."
"Last night I studied in the stacks for four hours. It's better for long-term studying," he said.
Stephen Grabow Professor of architecture
Not all the Watson reviews are so sanguine. Lily Lewis, Blue Springs, Mo., sophomore, associates Watson's stacks with confusion.
Debbie Bhaduri, Topeka sophmore, also liked the isolation. "You can go hide there and study undisturbed," she said.
"I got lost there my freshman year, and it was kind of scary," she said.
Kirby said the Watson stacks, which sat on eight levels in the five-story library, can bewilder the uninitiated.
"It's a very confusing system where you have to turn corners and go down a few steps," she said. "It's a very easy place to get lost."
Despite its idiosyncrasies, Watson still draws people with its sense of tradition. Kirby said that the monumental architecture in Watson summoned forth a sense of warmth not found in the metal
and stone of Anschutz.
"When you dream of having your perfect study in your home, you're thinking of rich wood texture and shelving," she said. "We have wood shelving still left in reference. There is more of a warm quality once you're in the building."
Kirby said that Watson exuded a sense of history that came with an older building.
"Even though it can be pretty overpowering and big in the beginning, I think it does develop for people a sense of place," she said.
Crowe agrees. "If you talk to older alumni now, there's a great affection for buildings like Watson," he said.

Students should appreciate the variety in library architecture. Crowe said.
"We're fortunate on this campus to have good examples of high 1920s library architecture and high 1980s library architecture," he said. "Students can choose."

Computers not scarce on campus
Labs provide students access to Web, e-mail
By Liz Wriston
Kansan staff writer
Computers, e-mail, the Web.
These things may seem complicated to students who are unfamiliar with computing services at the University of Kansas. But using popular software packages, getting a University e-mail address and browsing the Web are easy from a campus computer lab.
The Computer Center, located on Sunnyside Avenue, has a lab of PC and Macintosh computers that all students can use. Applications installed on these computers include word processors, spreadsheets, Web browsers and graphics programs. Printing services are available, and there also is a scanner. The lab is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Budig Hall houses another large
computer lab. It opened in August of 1997 and added 120 new computers to the campus. Other labs are located in Fraser Hall, Malott Hall, Nunemaker Hall, Robinson Center, Strong Hall and Summerfield Hall. Many of these labs are open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays. Hours differ on the weekends.
Several schools and departments also maintain labs for their students.
Students living on-campus also may use computer facilities in University residence halls. Students living in scholarship halls, Naismith Hall or sororities and fraternities should contact their hall managers or house advisers for information on computing resources.
More details about computer lab locations and hours are available in a brochure at the Computer Center.
There are other computing services the University provides to enrolled students.
Free KU Internet e-mail accounts are available. Students can register online at
"The point of the computers is to give students quick access to e-mail. We hope to have some if not all of the stations running by the first day of classes."
Lydia Ash
Budig computer lab supervisor
http://www.cc.ukans.edu/account
.htm. Students may use Web
browsers at campus computer labs to access the registration page. E-mail accounts are usually activated within 48 hours of registration.
"The web page has links to set up accounts, and students must provide their student ID number and date of birth to register," said Wes Hubert, assistant director of academic computing services.
Students who live off-campus and want to access the Internet from their own computer systems can pay $35 each semester for dial-in accounts. Registration for dial-in service also is available from the registration page.
New to the University this year are computer stations on the third
and fourth floors of the Kansas Union and the main floor of the Burge Union, said Lydia Ash, Budig computer lab adviser.
"The point of the computers is to give students quick access to e-mail," Ash said. "We hope to have some if not all of the stations running by the first day of classes."
Ash said other locations would be in Anschutz Science Library and on the third and fourth floors of Watson Library.
Students with general computing questions should contact the Computer Center staff at 864-0410. For questions about Internet access, contact the System Access staff at 864-0439. Students also may send their comments by e-mail to question@ukans.edu.

Office helps foreign students adapt to school
By Mariana Palva
Kansan staff writer
Coming to the University of Kansas may be a big change for many students from the United States. But for international students the change is even more complex.
The Office of International Student Services has been helping foreign students apply, enroll and adjust to the campus and a new culture for more than 50 years. The office is located at Room 2 in Strong Hall.
"We have about 1,900 international students enrolled at KU, and every year we receive 600 to 700 new ones," said Lynne Vanahill, assistant director and international-student adviser.
and machinism. Vanahil said the office answered international students' questions about immigration procedures and what kinds of employment their visas allowed.
"Our orientation in the beginning of each semester helps students to reduce their cultural shock." Vanahill said. "I just wish it could be a requirement because many students who haven't attended realize they need our help later."

She said that a task force was set up to help Asian students affected by the Asian economic crisis. The task force helped get authorization to increase the hours international students could work while reducing their course load.

Sandy Gault, coordinator of international admissions, said the office was the first place most international students contacted to ask about studying at the University. Once international students arrive, the office helps them with academic and personal concerns.
The office help Vladimir Sinkov, Pavlovsky Posad, Russia, senior, and his wife Mariel, change their visa status. Both of them will assist incoming students during fall orientation.
"Most of them need help opening a checking account, getting a social security number and finding ways to transfer their funds to the United States," Gault said.
"People in the office are extremely nice, very helpful from the secretary to the director," he said. "They do not have as much bureaucracy as the other departments. They are the only ones who actually listened my problems."
The office also coordinates different programs for international students.
"It is nice to have a host family and get away from the school environment sometimes," said Pia Heinonen, Helsinki, Finland, senior.

Group exists where worlds collide
Organization works to bridge student cultures
By Mariana Paiva Kansan staff writer
There are more than 400 student organizations at the University of Kansas, but if one wants to experience the world without leaving campus there is only one place to look: International Student Association.
Part of ISA's mission is to promote international awareness on campus, offering a unique opportunity for international and American students to exchange their cultural experiences.
"This year ISA will try harder to get new students involved in the organization," said Sarah Mai, Roeland Park senior and vice president of ISA. "We want to bring American and international students to a common

circle."

The World Expo and the Festival of Nations are two of the ISA's biggest events. During the World Expo, international students set up tables with information about foreign countries. It is followed by the Festival of Nations, an event that highlights the culture and entertainment of different regions.
This year the organization will try to partner with other international groups on campus to promote different cultural events, Mai said.
This fall, the forum has changed to an independent organization called the International Leadership Council.
ISA meets at 6 p.m. every Monday at the International Room in the Kansas Union. Elections for officer positions will be held soon, but the

exact date is uncertain, Mai said.

All positions are open for students who are interested.
Candidates must attend the first meeting and must understand the goals of the organization before being elected, said May Harroll, Salina senior and ISA member.
"People involved in ISA right now can do a good job, but we need something new, someone who just came with a lot of energy," Harroll said.
International Forum meetings have been sponsored by ISA.
The new organization will address the political needs of the University's international community. The president is Sandra Rainero, Italy graduate student.
"I came from a place where 99 percent of the population are Greek Cypriots. I didn't know anything about other countries.Sharing and learning other cultures was the most valuable experience I had at KU."
Pambos Charalambous, Kerynia, Cyprus, graduate student, said that participating in an international organization such as ISA helped him overcome problems and learn more about other countries as well as his own culture.

He said the Festival of Nations was the best activity ISA sponsored because it allowed people to show their artistic skills.

College introduces unfamiliar pressures
Students advised to seek support
By Both Janes
Kansan staff writer
When John Peckham first came to the University of Kansas, he thought life would be one big party.
"I started going out every weekend and after about a month got all stressed out because classes were a lot harder than I thought," the Lyons senior said. "I flunked the first round of tests in all my classes and just started flipping out."
For Peckham, talking with his older sister and re-evaluating his priorities remedied the situation.
Adjusting to University life can be difficult. Although some students adapt easily, others may need extra help. For those students, several services are available.
Counseling and Psychological Services, located on the second floor of Watkins Memorial Health Center, offers individual and group counseling sessions.
"Our purpose is to help students deal with problems we know are going to come up and deal with them in a way that they don't have to miss school," said Frank DeSalvo, psychologist and CAPS director. "That means early intervention and providing these services on campus at a price students can afford."
DeSalvo said that many of the students who visited the office were depressed or anxious because of academic, financial or relationship difficulties.
"Most students have some adjustment issues but just because you have them doesn't mean you need counseling," he said. "If, as a result of dealing with those issues, symptoms arise lasting longer than two
weeks, that indicates you might need to talk to somebody."
DeSalvo said that common symptoms were changes in sleeping patterns or appetite, a significant loss or gain of weight and decreased energy or motivation.
Deciding on a career or field of study can be a major source of stress, DeSalvo said. CAPS provides a career counseling and planning service. Various career-assessment tests, in which counselors talk students through the results, can help with decision-making.
"Not nearly as many students take advantage of this as we would hope. Many come in their junior or senior year, when they have wasted a lot of time," DeSalvo said. "We're working to alert students that it is important to talk about, and it's OK to have questions. Almost everybody struggles through this at one point."
Students also can find help with academic or personal challenges at the Student Development Center, 22 Strong Hall. The center sponsors workshops on study skills, test taking and time management, among others.
Mary Ann Rasnak, director of the center, said the program focused on two areas. General-system navigation helps students intimidated by the University to find direction. Learning assessments help students adjust to college academics.
"We would help somebody study smarter," Rasnak said. "The expectations on the part of teachers is very different than what many students experienced in high school. They are now responsible for being independent learners."
"There are different things competing for time and studying may not come out on top. We try to remind students to take time and study."
Rasnak said that if the Student

Tough love: Long-distance dating causes close-to-home challenges
By Liz Wristen Kansan staff writer
Living hundreds of miles from a boyfriend or girlfriend is a way of life that many students at the University of Kansas have endured.
Kelly Prince and Kara Donohoe are currently in long-distance relationships.
Prince, Shawnee senior, and Donhooe, Harrisonville, Mo., junior, are both dating men who attend schools in other states.
Prince's boyfriend Jeremy is a senior at Gustavus Adolphus College in Saint Peter, Minn. Prince met him in 1994 at a debate camp. They became friends and promised to write to each other after the camp ended.
"He didn't write, but I got a call from him the day I moved to college." Prince said. "After that we e-mailed on and off for the next couple of years and then we started dating last February."
The couple began dating after they attended a sorority formal dance. They have dated for five months and see each other once every six weeks, Prince said.
Donohoe's boyfriend J.D. isn't quite so far away. He attends the University of Missouri-Columbia. The two met in 1995 through a friend and attended junior prom together, Donohoe said. They dated for two years before college.
"Once we got to college, we decided to do our own thing for awhile," Donohoe said. "We broke up for a year and didn't talk for six months, but then when we finally started talking again, my friends set him up with me for a date party."
The two began dating after the party. They have been together for seven months and see each other every two to three weeks, Donohoe said.
Students in long-distance relationships should become
involved in University activities, said Frank DeSalvo, director of Counseling and Psychological Services.
"It's also important for both people in the relationship to be honest and let each other know what they have been doing to keep busy while the other person is away," he said.
Both Prince and Donohoe said they tried to stay busy while apart from their boyfriends.
Prince is a full-time student, works 25 hours a week, holds an office in her sorority, volunteers at Colonial Manor Nursing Home and spends time with friends.
"Jeremy and I both understand that friends are important," Prince said. "We were friends
"I don't think that students should look at long-distance relationships as a negative thing. You can do your own thing, hang out with your friends, have time to study and do extracurricular activities,and just live your own life without constantly having the other person around you."
Studies also are important for Donohoe, who spends many hours studying for her classes. Extracurricular activities and spending time with friends keep her on a tight schedule.
Kara Donohoe
Harrisonville, Mo., junior
for so long before we started dating, so we know that friendship is important."
Communication — whether by e-mail, telephone or other creative means — is important in maintaining a long-distance relationship, said Linda L. Keeler, psychiatrist at Counseling and Psychological Services.,
"Couples don't necessarily need to have daily contact. Instead, they need to keep them
selves busy with other activities," she said.
Shorter conversations may prevent isolation from peers who are not in relationships, Keeler said.
Prince and Donohoe said they talked with their boyfriends four to five nights a week. Those nightly calls cost Prince about $70 a month.
"You've got to be interested in what the other person does on a
day-to-day basis", Prince said. "So our phone conversations kind of become like dates for us."
For Donohoe, life apart from her bovrier has its benefits.
"I don't think that students should look at long-distance relationships as a negative thing." Donohoe said. "You can do your own thing, hang out with your friends, have time to study and do extracurricular activities, and just live your own life without constantly having the other person around you."
It gives me time to catch up with my boyfriend on weekends," she said. "It makes the time we spend together even more beneficial than if we were together all the time."
Keeler said that students having difficulties with long-distance relationships should contact Counseling and Psychological Services at 864-2277.

RECYCL
Renters can establish utility service by phone
By Darrin Poschka
Kanson staff writer
For students moving into apartments for the first time, setting up utilities can be confusing.
This process can be simplified with just a few phone calls.
Mark Schreiber, manager of community relations for Kansas Power and Light, said that the first thing students should do to establish electric service was to call the tollfree 24-hour customer service number before moving into their apartments.
"We will need to know their name, social security number and a current phone number," Schreiber said. "We also need to know the exact address of the apartment they will be moving into and what date they want service to begin."
UTILITIES INFORMATION
According to a brochure provided by the University Information Center, a deposit for Kansas Power and Light is not required if the student has had previous service and has good credit history. Students should check at the local Kansas Power and Light office, 333 W.Ninth St., to learn if they are eligible for a waiver. All customers must pay a connection charge.
if a deposit is necessary, the amount will be determined by an average of the last two months service at the residence, Schreiber said. If payments are late, students should not get too worried, Schreiber said.
"We don't have men in black suits running around and shutting off service in the middle of the night," Schreiber said. "Students have plenty of time to make the

When a payment is late, an additional late charge will be added to students' bills. Students will receive a notice in the mail about five days after the bill is due, followed by a phone call.
Published by the University Information Center, Student Organizations and Leadership Development Center, division of student affairs.
Kansas Public Service, which provides natural gas service, issues a connection charge to new customers but does not require a deposit.

"Students need to call as soon as possible prior to their move," Boone said. "We will need time to set up the account and call the apartment to see if service is on or off."
Boone said that Kansas Public Service also allowed late payments with proper warning. He said that a student should call the customer service number to notify the company that payment would be late.
"We can usually make payment arrangements with the student." Boone said. "The only time this is a problem is when it becomes habitual."
Turnover sends renters packing

Gap between leases can literally create no place like home

Kansan staff writer
"I have to move all my things into storage and crash with a friend for two weeks before I can move into my new apartment."
Bring out the cardboard boxes, it's moving time.
As the summer comes to an end and leases expire, students find themselves packing their belongings and scampering around town to their new homes.
Cars driving down Iowa street with overstuffed trunks and mattresses tied to roofs are a frequent sight.

All the apartment complexes in Lawrence have similar procedures for checkout day. Often walls are repainted, carpets are cleaned and damaged items are repaired. However, residents still may lose deposit money for stained walls, ruined carpet or broken fix-

Some apartment complexes try to address the situation.
Whether students are moving across town or down the street, packing up belongings and moving to another location can be a hassle.
Now add the stress caused by checking out of an apartment, including the possibility of landlords deducting damage fees from security deposits.
"We try to prevent that problem by providing students with a 10-credit course."
Many leases expire on the morning of the last day of the month and do not begin until the first of the month, causing some students to be homeless for a 24-hour period, if not longer.
Angela Love, Grandview, Mo. senior is one such student.The contract on her current apartment expired at the end of July and her new apartment's lease began in mid-August.

"My roommate and I decided to go ahead and pro-rate our rent so that we could move out of our old place and into our new one on the same day," she said.

Undergraduates teach math to peers
Grades have improved in 002,101 since program began seven years ago
By Eryl Cochran Special to the Kansan
Alimee Felix, 20, Tyler, Texas, junior, has no background in teaching and is not an education major, but every week she teaches Math 002.
Students at the University of Kansas pay as much as $826.95 for a three-hour class whether a professor, graduate teaching assistant or undergraduate teaches the class.
The math department uses undergraduate teachers, also known as group leaders, more than any other department on campus. In fact, nine out of 13 Math 002 courses and 21 out of 38 Math 101 courses are taught by undergraduates as young as 19 years old.
"I specifically try not to advertise my age," Felix said. "Students often assume that I fall into the graduate category. I have heard of some situations in which some students become hostile after finding out their teacher's age. I don't know, maybe it's an eoething."
Sometimes a group leader's age can create barriers with students.
Chad Martens, Stilwell junior, is one of those hostile students.
"I hated my TA. Maybe if he had been more experienced, I would have done better," Martens said. "Now, I have GTAs teaching my classes. These are harder classes, but I'm doing better because my teacher's know what they are doing."
Carol Lucas, director of the algebra program, disagreed with Martens and said she thought that group leaders
cared about their students in a way that most professors did not.
"Some have review sessions the night before a test to help their students. Full professors do not do this as a general rule." Lucas said.
Hiring undergraduates as teachers keens class sizes smaller.
There is not enough money in the math department's faculty budget to afford as many professors as are needed. Initially, group leaders are paid minimum wage, and enrollment in classes is kept between 20 to 24 students, Lucas said.
The requirements for becoming a group leader include the completion of two semesters of calculus, a recommendation from a previous math teacher and an interview to test personality, handwriting and English skills.
The group leaders then attend an orientation to learn teaching methods.
"We have a three- to four-day orientation where we focus on skills, strategy, what and what not to teach and students' attitudes such as a class that won't participate," Lucas said.
The group leaders meet once a week to discuss upcoming schedules, homework assignments and tests.
"We are given pre-made lesson plans for every session with detailed instructions." Felix said. "In our weekly meeting, we are shown how the material should be presented."
Felix said she thought that she had an advantage compared to other teachers on campus.
"It's the student/student perspective. I understand my students have a lot of other homework and tests, so sometimes I will give them an extra day to get their homework done. I also make things fun because I know how boring math can be for some people."
"We are given pre-made lesson plans for every session with detailed instructions.In our weekly meeting, we are shown how the material should be presented."
Aimee Felix
Group leader
Felix said.
Sheila Lobmeyer, Pratt junior and teacher of Math 101, is a math education major. For her, teaching has reinforced her decision to become a teacher. Lobmeyer agreed that being a young teacher has advantages.
"Professors are more educated, five years more, but sometimes professors are way out there. They know the material, but they don't know how to teach it." Lobmeyer said. "Besides, professors don't have to have a teaching degree to teach either."
Undergraduates were not always allowed to teach the math courses. About seven years ago, these classes, 902 and 101, were self-taught.
"The they decided they wanted to create a new program where instructors taught the course, but there was not enough money to staff those classes," said Robert Weaver, associate dean for liberal arts and sciences.
Many students opted to take the course at Johnson County Community College because they were performing poorly, said Dennis Day, associate dean of students at Johnson County Community College. Since the new program has been installed, the number of KU students enrolled at Johnson County in the course equivalent to Math 101 has declined by about 10 percent.
Since the transformation, students also have been doing better.
ment shows that the students who received A's and B's in Math 101 increased by 18 percent, and students who received A's and B's in Math 002 increased by 23 percent after the Kansas Algebra Program was implemented, which allowed undergraduates to teach. The number of students who failed both courses decreased.
"As soon as we started this new program, the performances of the students went up considerably," Weaver said.
The department's basic skills assess-
he said he did not think that allowing undergraduates to teach was the final solution. He said he hoped eventually the University's admissions process would change.
"With qualified admissions, we hope fewer people will need this process," Weaver said.
Qualified admissions require high school students to take prescribed math courses.
"No longer will KU have to take every graduate from a Kansas high school. Students will have achieved some level of excellence besides just graduating. They will be better prepared for mathematics in general than they are now." Weaver said.
The math department has received few complaints about undergraduates teaching. And Weaver said the complaints they did hear were from students who did not realize that the courses used to be self-taught.
Donation made for doctorals in theater, drama
By Mariana Palva
Kansan Staff Reporter
Doctoral candidates may get some extra help for their pocketbooks this fall.
William Kuhlike, a former University of Kansas professor, and his wife Glennys, donated $33,000 to establish the Russian Theater Fellowship.
Candidates admitted to the doctoral programs of Slavic languages or theater and film, and whose area of concentration will be Russian theater and drama, may apply for a $2,000 grant renewable up to 3 years in either department.
During Kuhke's 35 years at the University, he created the first Russian and theater doctoral concentration program in the United States and directed and acted in several KU stage productions.
Although the gift was officially announced by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences June 11, the awards have already been given for two consecutive years to Lance Gharavi, Merriam doctoral candidate in the theater department.
"Bill Kuhike was the finest teacher I've ever known so it was an honor for me to get his award," Gharavi said.
Maia Kipp, assistant professor of the Slavic department, said Gharavi was the only one to apply for the grant, and although other students have expressed interest, they had not yet been accepted in the doctoral program.
"We have several incoming Ph.D. candidates, and at least two may be interested in applying for the fellowship." Kipp said.
Representatives of both departments will decide who is the most qualified candidate based on grades, recommendation letters and research interest.
"This award may increase the number of people interested in this area, but the pool will never be huge because it is restricted to the doctoral level," said John Gronbeck-Tedesco, chairman of the department of theater and film.
The fund to support the Russian Theater Fellowship will be administered by the KU Endowment Association, the official fund-raising and fund-management organization for the University.

Gaume, Osage City junior, was one of 655 transfers from the 19 Kansas community colleges in the fall of 1997.
When classes begin at the University this fall, the number of community college transfer students is expected to be about the same.
Gaume said that he was prepared for a state university after
"I don't think the transition was that bad. My grade point average has dropped a bit, due to my Japanese class, but really, if you want to go to college, you will go." Gaume said.
Matt Dunn, Overland Park sophomore, was enrolled at the University and Johnson County Community College last spring. He said he thought there were only minimal differences.
"I start my days at Johnson County, and after two classes there, I have to drive to Lawrence for two more. I guess I just get tired during the drive, but really I don't see much difference in the two in regards to how tough the classes are," Dunn said.
Many of the state's community colleges agreed that there was not a lot of difference. Garden City Community College keeps statistics about grade point average differences of its alumni who have transferred to four-year schools. About two out of
three students maintain their GPAs or raise them, said Barbara Thurman, counselor at Garden City Community College.
"I think community colleges can help students make the step from high school to a university easier. Some students will start at a four-year school, then transfer to a community college. Community colleges can prepare students well academically and many mature a lot." Thurman said.
Joann Williams, principal analyst of institutional research, said that there were some transfer students whose GPAs would drop but not many.
The University keeps records of graduation rates and GPA tracking for first-time freshmen but not for community college transfers.
"Keeping track of transfer students' success rates is something we should do, but we don't. It's certainly worth looking at," Williams said.
Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle, director of freshman and sophomore advising at the University, said she thought it was important to plan ahead. She said that students might be delayed if they did not know what classes would transfer.
"I think students should visit with their counselors and advisers at community colleges, so they know what classes will transfer," she said.
Randy Myers, dean of student services at Hutchinson Community College, said he also thought the community college system was working but that there was room for improvement.
Not only do community colleges deal with a lot of freshmen and sophomores, but we service plenty of non-traditional students. It seems to me, from the information that I have, that the community college system is working," he said. "There can be better communication between community colleges and Regents schools. I think we need a way to share student information for
educational planning."
At Allen County, Bonnie Reavis, administration assistant to the director of the Institutional Resource Center, said she thought the preparation was good but that some community colleges, including Allen County, could offer more classes.
Although administrators at community colleges said that the schools were doing an adequate job, negative ideas about the transfer drop outs or low GPAs still exist. On top of that the state of Kansas was trying to replace the Board of Regents, with a board that would oversee both the community and four-year colleges.
The Regents, the Washburn Board of Regents and local boards across the state have raised questions about how well community colleges are preparing students.
On Jan. 26, Jerry B. Farley,
president of Washburn University,
proposed not to eliminate
the Regents, as the Select Committee on Higher Education had, but to create a super board. Farley suggested that the Regents be modified to govern the state higher education
Farley also said that the amount of funding that the state provided per student to Regents schools was noticeably lower than what it provided per student to Washburn and state community colleges.
The state provides $4,000 to
$5,000 per student to the Regents
universities, but only about
$1,700 per student at community
colleges and $1,600 per student at
Washburn.
Rather than dissolving the Regents, the state has decided to work on the system. Robert V. Talkington. Regents chairman, told the Topeka Capital-Journal "While improvements are necessary, the Kansas system is not in disarray, nor is it operating in a 'horse and buggy' environment."
Talkington also said he thought that valuable time and money would be lost in the transition.

Students warned about downfalls of establishing credit with plastic
By Michael Martin
Kansan staff writer
Credit cards can cause college students to charge headfirst into debt — a plight that some say is avoidable through budgeting and cautious spending.
At the University of Kansas, the beginning of the semester traditionally brings credit card companies seeking applicants to tables in the Kansas Union and in front of Wesco Hall. Many offer free gifts, such as T-shirts and candy, in exchange for a completed application.
It is part of a strategy to encourage a long, not necessarily cozy, relationship between students and credit card companies, said Jeff Sheets, counseling supervisor for Consumer Credit Counseling in Kansas City, Mo.
"Credit card companies know college students," he said. "If they catch them early, they know they'll use it for a long time."
Students often fall into a pattern of credit-card use. Sheets said.
"Most say their credit card is for emergencies, but that's far from the way they use it. They use it for fun things," he said.
Students contemplating a credit card account should question its necessity, Sheets said.
if you're going to use it for emergencies, then you're going to be fine," he said. "If you don't have enough discipline to do that, then wait until you have your first job and enough income to pay it off."
Students wanting to pay off a credit-card balance should start by sending in two or three times the minimum payment, which often covers only interest charges. Sheets said.
"The best way is to get the credit card out of your hand," he said. "Put the credit card in a block of ice, cut them up, don't add to the balance."
College students constitute 5 to 10 percent of the clientele of Consumer Credit Counseling's Kansas City, Mo., office, which offers budget advice to about 1,000 people per month. Sheets has seen various
"If you're going to use it for emergencies, then you're going to be fine. If you don't have enough discipline to do that, then wait until you have your first job and enough income to pay it off:"

effects of credit-card debt, from students unable to rent apartments to recent graduates declaring Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
Simon Peck, Lawrence senior,
has four credit cards and carries a
balance of about $5,000.
He got his first credit card before college while working a full-time job. He was not in debt until he came to the University, when the number of cards he held — along with his debt — increased significantly.
"If you don't have money, it's easy to whip out the credit card and say 'I'll worry about it later,'" Peck said. "I try not to use them anymore, but it's hard."
The Student Organizations and Leadership Development Center gives credit card companies approval to solicit on campus.
The companies must be sponsored by a student organization, such as a fraternity, said Erin Jones, temporary events secretary for the center.
Representatives from Visa, Mastercard International and Citibank, companies that frequently solicit on campus, did not return phone messages requesting comment.
The tables are staffed by members of the sponsoring group, which receives a commission for each completed application. Jones said.
A recent survey showed that student credit-card use is widespread.
Nearly two-thirds of college students held at least one credit card, and one-third received it during freshman year, according to the report, released June 24 by two education groups.
The groups also found that most students paid more than their monthly balances, but cautioned that its findings were based on student reports, not credit-card company records.
The random survey of 750 students was conducted by The Education Resources Institute, a nonprofit organization, and the Institute for Higher Education Policy, which relies on contract work and foundation money.
A survey this year by Nellie Mae,
a student financial-aid organization, found that the average
credit-card debt of undergraduates aged 18 to 25 was $1,879, and for
graduate students was $4,925.
Cash-strapped students can earn blood money

Plasma donation is only one option in fund-raising vein
By Darrin Peschka
Kansan staff writer
For many college students, having a job isn't quite enough to keep up with rent, bills and social expenses.
Students often need to find more creative ways to earn money.
Kevin Kelley, Omaha, Neb., senior, has found that donating plasma is a quick and easy way to make ends meet.
Kelley has been donating plasma at NABI Biomedical Center for
three years.
"I donated quite a bit when I was a freshman," Kelley said. "Now I only donate when I absolutely need money."
NABI, 816 W. 24th St., pays donors for plasma, the yellowish liquid portion of the blood.
Through a process known as plasmapheresis, small amounts of blood are drawn from the arm. The plasma is separated from red blood cells through centrifugation, a fast, spinning motion, and the red blood cells are returned to the body.
Kelley said that the actual plasma removal lasts about one hour and that the entire donation process lasts about one-and-a-half to two hours.
According to information provided by NABI, donors are paid
each time they visit the clinic.
Unlike whole blood, which takes about eight weeks to restore,
plasma proteins are replaced by the body in 24 to 48 hours. This allows donors to give plasma twice a week.
Kelley said he was paid $5 for his initial donation and $45 for his second. Now he earns $15 to $20 each visit.
"I don't think it's a good long-term thing," Kelley said. "But it's great when you are waiting for your paycheck and need to stretch your income."
But money from the needle isn't the only option for extra cash.
Tony Duran, manager of Jayhawk Pawn & Jewelry, 1804 W. 6th St., said that students often sold

personal items when they needed quick cash.
college students constitute about 90 percent of the store's clientele, he said.
"We get a lot of TVs, VCRs and boom boxes," Duran said. "The best thing I've seen a student bring
in is a full African headdress with a real lion's mane."
Students sell items more frequently around spring and summer breaks, Duran said.
The shop also offers a holding service that allows students to get their items back.
Students can take their items to Jayhawk Pawn & Jewelry and receive money on the spot. The shop then will hold the item until the student returns, when a flat fee depending on the item plus interest is charged.
"Students usually come back from summer vacation with money," Duran said. "This is a way for them to get cash before they go home and still get their stuff back when they return."

Students needing new wheels have several options with local banks
By Kristi Hartloy
Kansan staff writer
Most students at the University of Kansas need reliable transportation. A new automobile may be the answer.
With tuition, living and academic expenses, many students may have to find financing options before purchasing a car.
The general principles of lending look at credit, capacity and collateral.
"It's important that you have credit," said Janice Toebben, senior vice president at Mercantile Bank, 900 Massachusetts St.
A lot of students may not have established credit, so lenders next look at capacity.
> "What we like to look at is someone who has been in a job for two months with a stream of income that's consistent." Toebben said.
The third component is collateral, something of value put up for the loan, such as a certificate of deposit or a car with some value, she said.
Occasionally, when someone does not have all three components, a lender might consider a co-borrower. A co-borrower puts up their own credit, collateral or capacity for the loan, Toebben said.
A benefit Mercantile Bank offers is a reduced interest rate for automatic payment, she said. With automatic payment, the monthly bill is deducted directly from a patron's bank account.
For students who need extra money for school and who have paid off a substantial amount on an existing auto loan, Douglas County Bank, 300 W. Ninth St., can refinance the loan.
"We want to build a relationship with the student as a long-term customer. We came up with this program for them."
Doug Saville Commerce Bank branch manager
"it's good collateral for a loan," said Gina Baun,
senior vice president of Douglas County Bank.
Consumers may opt for the cash rebate many auto dealers offer and go to their own bank for the loan. Baun said that taking this option generally would be better for students.
Commerce Bank, 955 Iowa St., offers a young professional car loan program.
"We've done a lot of these, and it works great for graduating seniors," said Doug Saville, branch manager.
The program subtracts one-fourth of a percent off the current interest rate for Commerce customers buying new cars, and their payments are automatically deducted from their accounts.
The first payment is due 90 days from approval, and there are no origination fees.
"We want to build a relationship with the student as a long-term customer," Saville said. "We came up with this program for them."
Saville said that students needed to provide a transcript showing a grade point average of 2.5 or higher, a proof of employment commitment and an acceptance letter.
Capitol Federal Savings, 1025 Iowa St., offers auto loan pre-aproval.
Mike Cast, vice president of consumer lending,
said that with pre-approval, a customer could know
how much they could spend before car shopping.
Auto loans can be processed and closed on weekends at the Super Target branch of the bank, 32nd and Iowa streets.
"This is convenient because many people shop for automobiles during weekends." Cast said.
UMB Bank, 1441 Wakarusa Dr., also offers weekend loan approval.

"The dealerships fax applications to the Kansas City, Mo., UMB offices," said Teresa Smith, assistant vice president and facility manager.
Lawrence banks all feature basic checking and savings account services as well as 24-hour customer service.
Commerco Bank, 955 Iowa St.
Commerce Bank offers students the KU Checking Account in conjunction with the new smart card, said Doug Saville, banking center manager.
Saville said that an article in The University Daily Kansan stated that people could possibly hack into the microchip in smart cards.
"I wanted to point out that the magnetic strip of the card is where the bank information is stored," Saville said.
A personal identification number is assigned by the bank for use of the banking part of the smart card. If someone finds a smart card, he or she will not be able to hack in to it on a computer, he said.
The KU checking account does not have a monthly service charge, a minimum balance or a limit to the number of checks that are written.
"ATM withdrawals are free, as long as you can use a Commerce machine to make your withdrawals." Savile said. "If you use another bank's machine, there's a $1.25 charge per transaction."
Students who want a debit card will
have to opt for the Commerce Student Checking Account, Saville said. The bank offers the Visa Check Card for this account that deducts purchases directly from a customer's checking account. A debit card is not offered through the KU checking account.
To open a student checking account, there is a $100 minimum deposit. The account has no minimum balance requirements and no monthly service charges.
service is what Mercantile Bank wants to provide to its customers, said Janice Toebben, senior vice president.
"We're really trying to be available to the students at the times that are convenient to them." Toebben said.
Mercantile Bank offers students a budget account designed for low activity. The user can write up to eight checks per month at no charge. Most transactions of this account are with the Visa Check Card, which also works at ATMs, she said.
The interest checking account is free if a $1,000 balance is maintained. This account features earning interest, unlimited check writing, free Visa Check Card and ATM usage.
Mercantile Bank has a Web site that makes people to open new accounts.
Douglas County Bank has a student checking account that can be opened with a minimum of $50. This account features no minimum balance with a $5 monthly account fee, said Gina Baum, senior vice president.
When students apply for a debit card with the student account, they also can apply for a pre-approved line of credit, called Chapq-a-check.
Baun said that if more than $300 is kept in the account, the $5 fee is waived.
Charg-a-check is used for overdraft protection on checking accounts, Baun said.
Capitol Federal Savings, 1025 Iowa St.
Capitol Federal Savings offers its Cool Blue checking account to students.
The account has no monthly service fees and no minimum balance and can be opened with $100, said Barbara Carswell, first vice president.
Customers can access their accounts from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. through the call center. The Capitol Federal branch at Super Target is open Saturdays and Sundays, Carswell said.
With this account, the customer must deposit a minimum of $100 and maintain a minimum of $50 to earn interest.
Students with more money can open the Genuine Blue checking account.
"We have quite a few students who go with the interest-bearing account," Carswell said.
There is no monthly service fee with an average daily balance of at least $500. This account offers unlimited check writing and free, on-premise ATM transactions
UMB Bank offers a college checking account that does not require a minimum balance, said Teresa Smith, assistant vice president.There also is no monthly fee or service charge for Visa Check Card usage. Check service charges cost a quarter each.

Online trading profitable for student
When a patron's account becomes
By Jani Kumpula
Special to the Kansan
Jon Eggleston often stops by the computer lab in Budig Hall between classes. But he does not go there to browse the Web or to check his e-mail. He buys stocks.
Eggleston, Lawrence senior, is not your traditional stock trader. But, at age 24, he is part of a rapidly growing group of investors who do their stock trading online.
Forrester Research estimated that the number of online brokerage accounts would reach 14.4 million by 2002 with total holdings of $688 billion, up from about 3 million accounts with holdings of $120 billion today.
In less than six months of trading, Eggleston has made more than enough money to cover next year's tuition.
Although most of the investors who trade on the Internet are men between the ages of 30 and 45, the fastest growing segment of online traders are between 20 and 25 — people like Eggleston.
"People talk about Generation X, but I'm not one of those," he said. "I'm part of Generation MS — the Microsoft generation."
Eggleston started trading online in November 1997. He had extra money left from his time in the military and wanted to start investing it for retirement.
"It was a piece of cake." he said. "I walked to the computer lab in Budig, applied for an account and had funds
Eggleston said that he was astonished by how easy it was to set up an online account.

wired from my savings account to a bank in New York City," he said.
Paul Koch, professor of finance at the University of Kansas, said that convenience and cost were the primary reasons for the rapid growth of Internet trading. He is not surprised that many young people are starting to trade stocks online.
"They're very in tune with working with a computer," he said. "People over 25 haven't perhaps taken as much time to explore it."
He said that stock markets had become a good place to invest money for retirement and that people were putting money in the markets instead of savings accounts.
Eggleston said that he was attracted to the low commissions for online trades. His online broker, SureTrade, charges an $8 commission for executing a trade of up to 5,000 shares. Eggleston does not find the 5,000-share limit burdensome.
"You got to realize that if you take a company like Dell Computers and trade 5,000 shares, it's $335,000 worth of stock that you can trade for $8," he said.
He said that he had tried a traditional, full-service broker but did not think he was getting value for his money. The commission was 10 times higher than what he pays to Sure-Trade
"There were times when I would be on hold for 10-15 minutes while he was talking to other clients," he said.
Eggleston also had problems reaching his broker.
"I have a class in Learned and a class in Wescoe, and I stop by the computer center between classes. It's so easy,"
Now, instant access to Wall Street is at his fingertips.
he said.
He said that Internet sites provided up-to-the-minute stock quotes and company press releases within 30 minutes.
Furthermore, Eggleston prefers not having to listen to a broker's advice. He wants to make his own decisions. SureTrade provides extensive stock information on its site that he uses. This information includes recent news, annual reports, historical-performance charts and other research.
"For people who have Internet access, it's ridiculous to deal with full-service brokers." he said.
He said that while some people prefer talking to a broker instead of merely typing in orders on a computer screen, it might not always be the best solution.
"Anyone who invests needs to be educated before investing," he said. But paying a broker is not necessarily the best way to become educated."
Eggleston, majoring in mechanical engineering, said he did not have much prior knowledge about the workings of the stock market, but he studied before starting to trade.
"I didn't jump in cold," he said. "I took about three weeks before I started trading. I got a book from the library, a lot of information off the Internet from different investment sites and learned the basics."
However, he said that learning how the stock market worked was a long and continuous process that could not be achieved overnight.
"I didn't have a feel of how the market behaves, but that's something I've been learning in the last few months," he
said.
He said that his primary objective was to learn as much as possible about the stock market while still in college and before he began buying larger amounts of stock. He spends considerable time following the market every day and checks his account about six times a day.
The learning and the research seems to have paid off so far. Eggleston started with $2,000 and has, in five months, increased his capital to $8,000. However, online trading can be risky, especially for irresponsible investors.
"I have a friend who has lost half of the money he has put in, and — especially the way Dow Jones has been doing — that's not very good," he said.
However, Eggleston said that people who understand what they are doing know how to minimize the risk of losing all their money.
He said that he used a mechanism called a sell stop-order as a safety net. If the price of a stock begins to plummet, Eggleston's stock is sold automatically if the price falls to the level of the stop-order. This minimizes his losses to the difference between the original value and the stop-order.
Eggleston said that people who might be interested in online trading needed to determine realistic short-term and long-term goal. He said that people should not expect to become rich overnight and that stock trading was a long-term investment.
Koch agreed that people should learn how stock markets functioned before starting to invest. However, he also said that people should not be intimidated by trading stocks on the Internet.
"Try it once, and you'll find out how easy it is. It doesn't make sense not to," he said.

Psychology asks for research help to collect data
By Julie Sachs Kansan staff writer
When students enroll in Psychology 104, they almost instantaneously become human guinea pigs.
It is a requirement for students taking the class to participate in psychology research studies.
"One component of an introductory course is to get experience on how research is done," said Chris Crandall, associate professor of psychology. "It gives an upclose-and-personal experience on what it's like to be in research."
Student participation is beneficial in other ways.
Because student's do not get paid for their participation, costs
are cut for the researchers while they are collecting their data
it's only one of the ways to collect data. We could pay people, but funds in psychology research are drying up," Crandall said.
Only one in 50 researchers in the psychology department has some sort of outside funding. Crandall said that it was difficult to obtain money for research.
If a student is opposed to participating in the research studies, there is an alternative.
The student can either choose to participate in the five hours of research studies or they can write a research paper, Crandall said.
Most students, he said, choose to do the research participation. He also said that there were about 75 experiments conducted each semester.
"You are supposed to learn something by being there and it keeps you out of the library."
"One component of an introductory course is to get experience on how research is done. It gives an upclose-and-personal experience on what it's like to be in research."
Crandall said.
Chris Crandall Associate professor of psychology
Shanna Kirkpatrick, Lyndon junior, said she did not feel that participating in the studies was a beneficial learning experience.
"I thought they were a waste of time and a pain," Kirkpatrick said. "But I understand why we had to go."
"Students should know that they are not being coerced into this." Crandall said.
Participating in the research experiments is encouraged. But if the student is good at writing a paper then that option is available. Crandall said.
Crandall calls the research participation a semi-requirement.
this semi-requirement has frustrated many students.
Dessie Orear, Lyndon junior, said it was a major problem if a student missed an experiment for which they signed up.
One said that some people in her class had to participate in about 30 experiments just to complete the five-hour requirement.
If students forget to attend an experiment they must participate in two additional experiments to make up for the one they missed, Orear said.
About two to five percent of any given class does not complete its five hours of participation by the end of the semester, Crandall said.
n the student does not complete the five-hour requirement, then the student receives an incomplete grade for the semester. Crandall said. The student is then given one more semester in which to complete their research participation.
If they still fail to complete the hours, the student then is given a failing grade. Crandall said.
This same penalty is received in students do not finish their research papers by the allotted grace period.
Exceptions are made in certain circumstances.
Students will rarely be treated badly if they have justified reasons for not completing their research requirements, Crandall said.
"We'll go out of the way to help," he said.

Ginseng often lacks caffeine's quick kick
By Erin Thompson Special to the Kansan
The night slowly slips toward the morning. Eyes begin to droop as the words blur together.
A cup of coffee may be in order, but instead of reaching for coffee or a caffeine-loaded Mountain Dew, more students are beginning to reach for ginseng.
"I like to drink a little ginseng tea before studying for a little burst of energy," said Anna Hardy, Lea-wood junior.
But that ginseng lift may only be in their minds, local health professionals sav.
The Chinese traditionally believed ginseng alleviated fatigue, exhaustion, headaches, amnesia and the debilitating effects of old age. But whether ginseng medically works, or if it is based on myth, remains questionable.
"If you're stressed out and running on adrenaline, it regulates adrenaline. Or, if you can't get off your behind, it makes you feel better," he said.
"I don't know if it always works. It depends on people's conditions," said Andi Chang, medical doctor and owner of Chang Chiropractic and Acupuncture Clinic, 2500 W. Sixth St.
Ginseng, considered by many to be a healthy natural alternative to caffeine, does not act as a stimulant like caffeine does. Instead, it regulates the adrenal glands, said Hal Sears, a Community Mercantile retailer.
Others think ginseng is effective because of their faith in it.
"I think ginseng works, but it's more of a mental thing than anything," Hardy said. "I don't think it works any better or worse than caffeine. It's just different."
Ginseng is sold in many forms besides tea. At several local gas stations it is sold as a gum. At the Jayhawk Food Mart, 701 W. Ninth St., flavored ginseng is sold in vials.
"We sell the vials to a wide variety of people from little kids to middle-aged adults," said Kami Fisher, a clerk at the food mart.
"I think ginseng works, but it's more of a mental thing than anything. I don't think it works any better or worse than caffeine. It's just different."
Anna Hardy
Leawood junior
Jice Stop, 3514 Clinton Parkway and 812 Massachusetts St., offers ginseng as one of many nutrients available to add to its drinks.
"Most students use it as a stimulant to stay awake in class," said Carrie Gilliam, assistant manager at the Massachusetts Street Juice Stop.
But ginseng generally disappoints people accustomed to the instant loit provided by caffeine.
"I put it in my Juice Stop to give me more energy," said Jenn Silvers, Chantilly, Va., junior. "But I can't feel its effects as much as caffeine. I'm kind of a Coke-a-holic though."
Gilliam agreed. "When I do use ginseng, I can't tell any difference. Coffee always works better for me," she said.
Because ginseng is not a stimulant, it does not provide the instant jump start caffeine does.
"If you drink ginseng tea early in the morning, you won't feel it kick in right away because it isn't a stimulant," Sears said. "You'll feel the difference more in your downtime like late afternoon." Sears said
In China, ginseng generally is used as a tonic.
"The mythology is if you use a little everyday it'll make you live longer. ... It'll make you function better." Sears said.
Native Americans used ginseng as a medicinal plant for thousands of years before a French priest stumbled across it in Montreal in 1716. Soon traders, including John Jacob Astor and Daniel Boone, began sending American ginseng to China, where it was treasured for its subtle differences from Chinese ginseng.
American ginseng, or Panax Quinquefolius, differs from Eastern ginseng, Panax ginseng, in the
way it works. The Chinese believe that Panax ginseng is the yang, or hot, energizing ginseng, and should be used to bolster health and prevent disease during the colder seasons of fall and winter. American ginseng is considered yin, cool and rejuvenating and should be used more in hotter weather.
The differences in Eastern and Western cultures create differences in the way ginseng is used. In a society accustomed to getting their burgers in a few minutes, Americans expect something to happen the moment they take ginseng. The Chinese understand more about how ginseng works.
"In the East, it it's considered a long-life tonic," Sears said. "In America we take it and make speed out of it."
To provide the instant reaction Americans want. Ginseng usually is mixed into something with a lot of sugar. The effects of the sugar are felt immediately, but the ginseng won't kick in until later in the day, Sears said.
Too much ginseng once was thought to cause Ginseng Abuse Syndrome, which consists of elevated blood pressure, nervousness and insomnia. Researchers discovered many of those experiencing the symptoms also were using of large amounts of caffeine and up to 30 capsules of ginseng every day. The recommended ginseng dose is less than four capsules a day.
Watkins Memorial Health Center Pharmacy does not carry ginseng but not because of any medical reasons.
"We just don't have much of a need for it. It's not something we specifically don't carry. The demand for it just isn't there," said Bob Emerson, staff pharmacist.

Restaurants donate leftovers for hungry
Salvation Army reaps benefits from merchants
By Chris Fickett Special to the Kansan
Three days a week, Teresa Corcornar feeds Lawrence's homeless and hungry at the Salvation Army, 946 NewHampshire St..
"This is my life," Corcoran said, as she dished out meat casserole, refried beans, green beans, canned pears, pineapple and fruit cocktail to regular patrons.
"Hi there, Fred. What can I get you, sir?" she asked one of them.
"Can I get some casserole?" Fred asked.
The bread Corcoran used to make the cheese sandwich is among the leftover foods donated from local stores and restaurants.
Lawrence's surplus food is part of the Salvation Army's programs. The organization relies on these donations to help feed the hungry.
Sometimes, though, donations aren't enough. Corcoran said.
She said she used donated food and bought food with money that was collected for the Salvation Army's feeding program to prepare each day's meal. The donations that came in to the Salvation Army usually set the menu for what she cooked.
"If we get a donation of taco seasoning then we'll go out and buy meat and make tacos," she said.
In addition to what Corcoran had prepared, food program patrons also dined on bread and bagels from the St. Louis Bread Company, pastries from Dillon's stores and pizzas from Pizza Hut stores.
Jonn Haughawout, manager of the
Pizza Hut at 834 Massachusetts St., said the donated pizza were part of the company's Harvester's Program. Each store donated leftover pizza from their buffets and from orders that had not been picked up to a selected charity, he said.
Pizza is one food where donations are not enough to feed an entire lunchtime crowd. Corcoran waits at least two or three weeks before she is able to serve the pizzas as a meal.
"Usually we don't get enough to feed everyone who comes in," she said. "So we freeze them until we have enough for a meal."
Other donations are determined by the amount of food remaining at the end of the day at local eateries.
Angela Love, manager of St. Louis Bread Company, 520 W. 23rd St., said that any leflower bread products went to charity at the end of each day, but that donations varied in quantity.
Each charity selected a day to pick up the leftover bread, she said. Participants included the Salvation
Army, First Step House and Clinton Place Apartments.
During lunch, Corcoran filled plates with casserole and vegetables, while plastic bags full of bread sat in the corner, uneaten. Because the Salvation Army accepted donations from whoever was willing to give, some food was scarcity, while other food, like bread, was plentiful.
Corcoran said it was hard to predict when a surplus of bread from Dillon's or St. Louis Bread Company would come.
"It just sits there," Corcoran said. "Hopefully someone can carry one of those bags home."
Corcoran said although Dillon's Stores donated sweet breads and pastries, it did not donate produce that was not up to sales standards.
Dorian White, produce manager at the Massachusetts Street Dillon's, said that the produce was inspected every day. Whatever produce did not meet the store's standards was pulled from the bins and offered at a
Dillon's policy of reducing waste is similar to that at the Union Food Service at the University of Kansas. At the University, leftovers sometimes become part of the next day's main course, rather than a snack for the hungry.
reduced price, he said.
food Service Manager Jay Glatz said they usually tried to recycle leftover food from catering or buffet events. Leftover vegetables were used in soups and stale bread was turned into croutons, he said.
"We try to make use of food in one form or another to try and reduce waste," he said. "Sometimes, if we have a surplus, we'll call a charity to come pick it up."
Glatz said in the past bulk potato chips had been donated to the Salvation Army.
Though potato chips would keep a long time, other food donations were perishable and were difficult to serve. Corcoran said sometimes it was difficult to store a surprise donation long enough to serve at lunch.
"If someone drops by something on Friday night, it has to keep all weekend in order for me to serve it for Monday lunch," she said.
During the winter, when the Salvation Army runs a homeless shelter, random donations find their way straight to hungry mouths. She said that an evening snack was offered to the shelter residents every night, and if a donation came at night, it would be served directly to shelter residents.
"The Masons always donate their leftover sandwiches and potato salad after their meetings," she said. "That's always something we can count on."
while the Masons' leftovers provide a late-night snack for shelter residents and donated pizzas from Pizza Hut can feed a hungry lunchtime crowd every few weeks, leftovers from Lawrence organizations and restaurants are not the answer for Lawrence's hungry. But they can help provide food that other donations cannot, including a cheese sandwich.
Students work in homes to help serve clients
By Melody Ard Special to the Kansan
House rule No. 15 says that Andi has to eat before she goes home. Andi Nyhoff, Hays senior, obediently fills her clients' plates and her own with the spaghetti she just cooked for dinner.
Nyhoff works 30 hours each week providing home health care to a 24 year-old Lawrence woman who has cerebral palsy and the woman's husband. Nyhoff's patients' identity is protected by confidentiality agreements, but she will willingly may say she has become part of the Lawrence family.
The rules that Nyhoff write help hang prominently on a wall in the living room. They cover things such as discipline of the cat, visiting hours and household behavior.
While they are not paid much more than minimum wage, students who worked regularly as caregivers said there were greater rewards than money, as well as some downsides to the job.
About 25 students, including Nyhoff, work as caregivers for Trinity Respite Care, 2400 W. 31st St., a Lawrence health care agency that provides caregivers for clients with disabilities or other special needs.
Lisa Ellis, a social worker for Trinity Respite Care, said the job was ideal for students majoring in physical or occupational therapy. One of the primary benefits of the job for students is the hands-on training it provides.
"This job lends itself well to people learning and working with others." Ellis said.
MORE INFO
Nyhoff began working for the family as one of her first jobs when she was hired by the agency in October.
Nyhoff's job description said she was supposed to spend four hours with the family each weekday evening cooking dinner, running errands and doing light housework such as cleaning the bathroom and vacuuming.
"They usually like me to stay the full four hours each night," she said. "Sometimes we use the time,

and other times I am just someone to talk to."
Because of the commitment she had chosen to make to this family, Nyhoff did not see any other clients on a regular basis.
"It used to have more regular clients, but I had to cut back. I really am a part of the clients' lives when I go to someone's house. You can lose yourself in all of it," she said.
Nyhoff takes six hours of classes at the University of Kansas but spends most of her time working for the agency. She said that the wage depended on whether the client had outside funding, but that
new caregivers usually average between $5.50 and $6.25 an hour.
She said her experience with home health care had convinced her that occupational therapy was a good choice for her career.
Nyhoff said she felt comfortable with her clients, but was aware that she was a guest in their home.
"I completely respect their opinions and their ideas and decisions," she said. "I expect to be treated with respect, but if differences in opinion happen, I have to remember it is their house."
Nyhoff had previous work experience at a nursing home; nonetheless, much of what she learned in the hiring process was new, as well as the hands-on training she received
Ellis said that all Trinity employees were hired on an as-needed basis, especially when the agency accepted additional clients. Employees also must complete six hours of classroom instruction about care for people with disabilities, an interview and a background check before they are sent out to care for clients.
with her clients.
"People have so many different needs, there is no way that I could ever know how to do everything without their help," she said. "The first time I worked with my client, I was completely honest with her and said I had absolutely no clue how to give her a bath, but she was great about teaching me."
Nyhoff mastered giving baths and moving her client into and out of her wheelchair in the last few months. She still was getting used to the problems created by a city that was not well adapted to people with disabilities.
She had managed to cram a wheelchair into the trunk of her two-seat Fiero, but because of obstacles at stores, her destinations with her clients are limited.
"Wal-Mart is the only place I can take her," she said.
While Nyhoff concentrated her care on two clients, Janne Ouellette, Clay Center senior, had fewer regular clients and preferred to select people from the list of those who need care.
Social worker Lisa Ellis said
employees checked a list of clients needing caregivers and determined their hours and clients. Last year, 500 people in the Lawrence area were cared for by the 50 employees working for the agency.
One client for whom Ouillette cared regularly died a few months after Ouillette met her.
"The down part of this job is that people can become very ill. Just as I meet new friends, I loose them," she said.
Ouletle worked between 12 and 20 hours each week, so she could choose the people who could adapt to her schedule instead of adapting her schedule to a set of regular clients as Nvhoff does.
Consequently, Ouellette said she often walked into unfamiliar situations.
"It can be stressful because I don't know what I'll be getting into," Ouellette said. "One client had a restraining order against her boyfriend that I didn't know about. He came over and she called the police before I knew what was going on."

Tying up a dog during class not good for pets or students
By Monica Hodes Special to the Kansan
Lynne Goyette does not want her dog Casey cooped up in the house all day. Tri Le works nights, and class time is the only time his dog Snoop can be outside.
Snoop can be outsi re. Whatever their reason, Sandy Wellman, office manager at Lawrence Veterinary Hospital, said students should leave their dogs at home rather than take them along to class.
"There are a lot of reasons people bring their dogs to campus, whether it's for their ego or the feeling their dog is depressed at home," she said. "But psychologically, it's not good to have any dog tied up like that."
Unattended dogs also can make some people's jobs on campus more difficult.
But dog owners have their reasons for bringing their dogs to campus. Some students say their dogs come with them because their pets love being outside.
"The dogs can cause problems, especially if they're on the vicious side or mad about being chained up somewhere," said Bob Porter, assistant of the Division of Plant Maintenance at the facilities operations.
"Iused to bring her to campus almost every day." Goyette, Chicago senior, said of her golden retriever. "She loves roaming around campus, and I think it's much better than having her cooped up in the house."

Goyette had tied Casey to a tree

long, she said.
Goyette said she left Casey in the shade during warm weather and did not bring her if it was too cold. The only complaint she ever received was from a lady who told her to put her dog on a leash.
The leash laws on campus are the same as they are for the city of Lawrence, said Sgt. Chris Keary of the KU Office of Public Safety.
"The owner has to have the dog under their care and control at all times," Keary said. "Technically, a dog tied to a tree isn't under the owner's care if they're not there."
The police department works with Lawrence Animal Control to handle complaints. The police can issue citations if they find the dog's owner, Keary said. They also can issue citations that explain the laws about noise disturbances.
Goyette she had a run-in with the dog catcher once when a person complained about Casey's barking.

"Someone called the pound to pick her up, and I got a ticket on her," she said.
"They're cold when we're cold," Wellman said. "If there's not a lot of hair on their body, they're just freezing."

In hot or cold weather, tying up dogs on campus can increase their anxiety. Wellman said.
"They become biters," she said.
"We hear of a lot of people who will
Ladonna French, animal control officer for Lawrence, said that complaints varied during the seasons.
There are complaints about dogs being exposed to the cold for extended amounts of time, she said.

dogs.
If a bite is reported, the dog must do a 10-day rabies observation in a hospital. Wellman said not many people were aware of the policy or of the $20-a-day fee for the observation.
“It’s so sad to see them out there when you can tie that they’re cold and shivering,” she said. “It’s not fair to the dogs.”

"Look most nights, so this is the only chance for him to be outside and play and interact with other dogs," he said.
"I told him he wasn't bothering anyone, so he didn't need one," Le said.
Authorities disagree. Keary said even if the dog is in the presence of the owner, it should have a leash.

Some students like dogs cavorting around campus, Jenny Verginog, Overland Park junior, said she thought that the dogs added to the atmosphere.
"They give the campus a more honey feeling. It's a more relaxed atmosphere," she said.
But Julie Hausman, St. Joseph,
Mo, sophomore disagrees.
"Some can be annoying," she said. "I've seen dogs that bark at every single person who walks by."
Keary stressed the importance of owners controlling their dogs. The KU police spend time on complaints when they could be dealing with more important problems, he said.

THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
Speakers welcome back flock
(USPS 650-640)
University officials students assemble at Convocation
By Carolyn Mollott
Kansan staff writer
KU students who attended the annual Convocation assembly last night at the Lied Center were bombarded by welcomes from all directions.
The chancellor, the provost, the student body president and the chairman of the University Senate Executive Committee spoke to more than 1,000 students — mostly freshmen and new students — at the annual assembly.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway welcomed the assembly of students to the University of Kansas in his Convocation Address.
"This robe, this ceremony marks the beginning of the KU academic year for the 133rd time," he said.
I
Hemenway's address emphasized the qualifications of this year's freshman class, which has above-average ACT scores.
Shulenburger:Said convolution gave glimpses of future.
"KU really is
Lake Wobegon. All the children are above average." Hemenway ioked.
But Hemenway warned the freshmen that next year's class would be even more qualified for the challenges of academia because the University would continue to recruit better groups of students each year.
These freshmen have the ability to be successful at the University, he said.
"The question is will you do that? Will you accomplish that goal?" Hemenay asked.
PETER T. BURTON
Hemenwy: Challenged students to find opportunities.
Students saw scenes from the distant and recent past in a video which professed, "At KU, we find opportunities as varied as ourselves."
And as the fight fin song played, the entire assembly clapped.
Provost David Shulenburger greeted students and introduced the faculty and administrators seated on the Lied Center stage in their academic gowns. He cited the recent awards and honors that KU faculty members have earned.
"Taken together, these occasions give us a glimpse of what is possible at this university," Shulenburger
said.
Kevin Yoder, student body president, represented all KU students as he welcomed the newest flock of Jayhawks.
Yoder offered a metaphor, with each new student represented by a seed.
"To students who stretch their roots, they'll find many opportunities both in and out of the classroom." Yoder said.
He encouraged involvement and said his own activities made him feel like a part of the University.
"KU will not find you. You must go out and find it." Yoder said.
Robert Hohn, University Senate Executive Committee chairman, welcomed students on behalf of the University's faculty.
"The stimuli for meaningful learning are here waiting for you," he said.

Commission denies request for KU liaison
By Seth Jones
Kansan Staff Reporter
Kansan Staff Reporter
Tuesday, Yoder went to the Lawrence City Commission to discuss the letter he wrote with the hopes of bringing a KU student onto City Commission. The student would have a non-voting position to act as a liaison between the campus of 25,000 and the city of 75,000.
What seemed to be a "no-brainer" to Student Senate President Kevin Yoder ended up being a "knot in the stomach" to the Lawrence City Commission members.
But Yoder's proposal was defeated on a 2-3 vote.
In the letter, Yoder talked about the benefits of having a KU student on City Commission. Besides acting as a liaison, the person would learn how the commission worked, convey ideas from Senate to the commission, and hopefully bring the city of Lawrence and the University a little bit closer.
PETRONAS
Commissioner John Nabbandian, professor of public administration and government. expressed
Yoder: Wanted a KU Lawrence City Commission seat.
concerns with the idea early. He mentioned that if the University was allotted a seat on the City Commission, it might cause other groups also to ask for a spot. He also said that unlike high school students who have served on the commission in a similar method, college students are old enough to vote.
"If they really want to, they can elect five members to the city commission." Nalbandian said.
"When I first read this letter," Moody said "I got a knot in my stomach. This usually means that something is wrong."
After Nalbandian's remarks, Vice-Mayor Ervin Hodges and Commissioner Bob Moody shared their opposition to the idea.
Both Mayor Martin Kennedy and Commissioner Bonnie Augustine supported the idea, saying it would allow for the University and Lawrence to complement each other, and it would be a great learning experience for the student.
Yoder said he was expecting more support from'the City Commission.
Yoder said he would do as the City Commission suggested and have a student attend each meeting as a member of the audience.
"That just isn't going to have the learning experience I was hoping for." Yoder said.
Mayor Matthew would be approved, but understood the concerns of his colleagues.
"Commissioner Nalbandian always has such great insights and feelings on these issues," he said. "It was a difficult decision, but I still think the University of Kansas and the city of Lawrence can maintain a great communication effort."
Clinton's speech causes mixed feelings among KU students
By Chad Bottes
Kansan staff writer
Since President Bill Clinton addressed the nation on Monday night, his speech has been a hot topic of discussion among students at the University of Kansas.
The president brought his relationship with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky into the spotlight during a prime-time television address in which he admitted that his relationship with her was "wrong" and "not appropriate."
The admission came on the heels of his testimony earlier the same day before a grand jury investigating Clinton. It also followed strong denials of the relationship by the president and his supporters during the past seven months.
Many students have mixed feelings about what Clinton had to say.
City, Kan., freshman.
"Everybody in the world shouldn't know his business," said Jessica Taylor, Kansas
At the same time, Taylor wants the criminal investigation to continue.
Marina Scheer, Overland Park sophomore, said that although Clinton did a good job during the speech, she thought that he should resign from office. She said Clinton had tarnished the presidency and that his resignation would help to restore its integrity and respect.
Scheer said that if the relationship had occurred outside the White House, the situation would have been different.
"He should have to take responsibility," she said.
"I feel that the fact that she (Lewinsky) worked in the White House has a lot to do with it." Scheer said.
Phil Stevenson, KU Young Democrat chairman, said that Clinton should not resign and that Clinton had effectively communicated his desire to move beyond the scandal.
"Public opinion says people are willing to accept that Clinton is human and that he has a job to do," Stevenson said.
He said Republicans might be reluctant to use the scandal as a political tool in upcoming congressional elections because it could cause a backlash.

the investigation but say the criminal investigation should continue.
Nick Serrault, Omaha, Neb., freshman, said he believed Clinton had sexual relations with Lewinsky. But Serrault is more interested in the criminal aspects of the investigation, such
as alleged perjury and obstruction of justice.
Dan Grippo, Lenexa graduate student, said that he wanted the country to move beyond the scandal but that Clinton's speech took the wrong approach.
"Clinton's policies are good for the country," he said.
"The tone was too angry and defiant for what he needed to do, which was apologize for misleading his family and the country." Grinpo said.
Grippo said that he thought the criminal report by independent counsel Kenneth Starr should be made soon but that it was not likely to lead to impeachment hearing.
Grippo is most concerned with the fact that Lewinsky was an intern during the relationship, which he compared to a relationship between a university professor and a student.
Allan Cigler, professor of political science, said sexual escapades of presidents
"We're in a new era now," Cigler said. He also said Clinton's speech was directed at two different groups, the general public and the Washington political elite. Cigler said that the general public had reacted as favorably as could be expected for Clinton under the circumstances but that Clinton had suffered more damage with the political elite.
"We're in a new era now." Cigler said.
historically had been rumored but never became official until after the president in question left office.
"The elite feels that Clinton didn't do enough." Cigler said.
Cigler said the investigation probably had changed the political landscape.
Stevenson agreed.
"Politicians used to get the benefit of the doubt," Cigier said. "Now, we get a backstage view, and we don't always like it."
"This is a wake-up call because we've tried to put the office on a pedestal," he said.

Bomb squad confiscates grenade from trash can
A hand grenade found Monday in Stauffer Flint Hall is in the possession of the Overland Park Bomb Squad and will be destroyed, the KU Public Safety Office said.
The grenade was found in the office of Associate Journalism Professor Carol Holstead, who had thrown it in the trash Friday while cleaning.
"I had the grenade sitting out as a paperweight," she said. "It was a weird present a friend had given me, and I just threw it away."
KU police Sgt. Anthony Augusto said that they received a call from custodian Scott Getter at 6:40 a.m. Getter said that he had found the grenade.
When KU police officer Robert Linzer arrived, Getter handed him the black grenade and told him where he had found it
KU police then called Holstead at home and asked her if she knew why it was in her office and if it was real.
According to KU Public Safety Office, Holstead said the grenade was fake and filled with concrete, and she no longer wanted it.
KU police then called the Overland Park Bomb Squad, which examined the grenade
Bomb squad member Sgt. Keith O'Neil said the grenade looked as if it might contain the blasting cap, and if still could
explode.
The grenade was taken by the bomb squad and is to be destroyed, KU police said.
KU police officer Troy Mailen said he did not know when the grenade would be destroyed.
"I don't know what their procedures are," he said. "They may dismantle it, or they may just blow it up. I don't know."

Police search for car seen at bank robbery
Lawrence police are looking for a brown, two-door Nissan that was seen driving away from the scene of a Lawrence bank robbery Tuesday.
Police said that the driver might be connected to the crime, but that they also were interested in the car because the driver might be a witness to a crime that is not yet solved.
Central National Bank, 71.1 Wakanusa Drive, was robbed at 4 p.m. Tuesday by a male in his 20s wearing a straw hat, Lawrence police said.
According to witnesses and police, the man entered the bank, brandished a pistol and demanded money.
The man received an undetermined amount of money and fled the bank on foot going west, police said.
Bank employee Ryan Wedel said that it was against the bank's policy to talk about the robbery until it had been solved but that everyone at the bank was handling the situation well and was just trying to get back to conducting business as usual.
"Emotionally, we couldn't be in a better state of mind for the given situation," he said.
Because the car was seen driving away from where the man was last spotted, police think the driver may be a witness or even the suspect himself.
Police ask that anyone who has seen a car that matches the description or has any information about the robbery should call
the police at 841-7210.
STATE
Kansas Republican party rehires former director
TOPEKA — State Republican Chairman Steve Abrams yesterday fired the party's executive director and restored Kris Van Meteren to the post.
Van Meteren was executive director for 15 months before resigning in May to become campaign manager for David Miller in his bid to deny GOP renomination to Gov. Bill Graves.
Abrams dismissed John Potter as executive director at a staff meeting at state party headquarters yesterday morning and installed Van Meteren effective immediately.
Abrams, en route back to Arkansas City where he operates an animal clinic, was not available for comment. He announced the switch from Potter to Van Meteren in a brief news released faxed to news organizations late yesterday morning.
"Kris has a proven track record when it comes to organization, administration and fund-raising," Abrams said. "I am confident that he will use his abilities to elect Republicans at every level in the November elections."
The release made no mention of Van Meteren having been Miller's campaign manager or the dismissal of Potter, who took the job in late May after Van Meteren left to join the Miller campaign.
Northwest raises air fares in midst of negotiations
MINNEAPOLIS — Only days after Northwest Airlines blocked its rivals' attempts to raise leisure fares, the company increased advance purchase fares 4 percent, spuring matching increases from other carriers.
Northwest raised its 14- and 21-day advance purchase and sale fares on Monday night, Northwest spokesman Jon Austin said.
NATION
The move came as Northwest continued contract negotiations with the Air Line Pilots Association as an Aug. 28 strike deadline drew nearer. Northwest also is in contract negotiations with its other five unions.
When Delta Air Lines recently increased its 14- and 21-day advance-purchase fares by 4 percent, most carriers matched the increase. But the airlines backed off after Northwest refused to go along.
Justice Department looks at Gore fund-raising calls
NEW YORK — The Justice Department once again is reviewing whether Vice President Al Gore broke federal election laws when he used White House telephones to make fund-raising calls, The Wall Street Journal reported yesterday.
The review will help Attorney General Janet Reno decide whether to request an independent counsel to probe the 1996
PETER
presidential race.
Reno, who last year elected to not have an independent counsel investigate, is under pressure from Republicans to reverse her stance.
Gore: Again faces review by Justice Department.
A rarely prosecuted law prohibits soliciting campaign donations known as hard money on federal property. Several witnesses to the calls have been interviewed again in
recent weeks and the fund-raising review apparently was prompted by new information about where Gore knew he was raising hard money, the Journal reported.
When Reno decided against appointing the independent counsel, she said Gore was unaware that some of the contributions he raised were diverted by party officials from so-called soft-money accounts that pay for party and issue ads to hard money accounts that directly supported the Clinton-Gore re-election.
Gore has denied wrongdoing. His office would not comment to the Journal on Monday.
New bill may open public housing to more families
Under the proposed legislation, officials would be allowed to set aside more apartments for families who make up to $40,000 a year.
The Clinton administration and Congress are close to an accord on legislation designed to broaden the mix of tenants in public housing, the newspaper said.
NEW YORK—Working families might soon have access to more apartments in public housing projects, which have been reserved almost exclusively for poor people, The New York Times reported yesterday.
Low-income people also would be able to use vouchers to defray the cost of buying a house. And mayors could assume control of poorly run projects and grant more latitude to housing authorities to set rents.
People involved with the talks said the legislation could reach President Clinton's desk as early as September, the Times said.
The bill's backers include officials from large cities who say public housing projects with large clusters of extremely poor people destabilize neighborhoods.

Fumes close organizations center
Staff members resumed work after 21/2 hours
By Chris Fickett
Kansan staff writer
Fumes temporarily closed the Student Organization and Leadership Development Center in the Kansas Union at about 11 a.m. Tuesday.
The center, which houses Student Senate, the KU Information Center and student organizations, reopened about 1:30 pm, when the odor from the fumes dissipated.
Employees were given the option of returning to work or taking the rest of the day off.
Operators at KU Info began to notice a strange odor between 10 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. The smell forced the operators to shut off incoming phone lines and to leave their office space.
Once the odor began to permeate the entire suite and people developed headaches, Danny Kaiser, the center's director, made the decision to evacuate the office.
"It it got so bad that we just cleared everybody out," he said.
on the exterior of the Union.
Wayne Pearse, building engineer for the Kansas and Burge Unions, said that the source of the fumes was a contractor spraying a sealant
Christian-Wyatt Construction of Lawrence was performing tuck-pointing work on the north brick wall when the sealant was sprayed. Pearse said that the fumes from the sealant made their way into the fresh-air intake vents when a construction worker sprayed the sealant on a section of brick that was directly in front of a vent.
Pearse said that no one was hurt and that no one was in danger from the fumes at any time.
"Any time a contractor is going to be using toxic chemicals, they are required to notify us," he said. "This contractor has worked for us many times before, and I'm sure they wouldn't bring anything dangerous
near the hill without telling us first.
Linda LaPierre, Student Senate office secretary, said that the smell was similar to ink fumes from a printing press.
Terrie Nichols, Organizations and Leadership secretary, said the fumes were much worse.
"They were very noxious," she said, "it was not pleasant at all."
Pearse said that the intake vents were closed as soon as the source of the fumes was discovered. While the outside vents were closed, the ventilation system remained on, which allowed for the fumes to be circulated out of the offices.
The sealant was similar to a polyurethane or a paint, Pearse said, and once the sealant dries, it
loses its odor. He said that the intake vents to the center were reopened about 4 p.m., when the sealant dried.
Students who were in other parts of the Union also noticed the fumes.
Erin Jones, Lawrence senior, was in the Kansas Union Ballroom picking up her tuition refund when she smelled the fumes.
"I started smelling something funny," she said. "I'm sure it was even worse in the O&L because the circulation there isn't very good."
Pearse said that the contractor would return Saturday to continue the tuckpointing and that the intake vents would be closed during spraying.
Union employees discover obscene posters
By Kelli Raybern
Kansan staff writer
Kansas Union employees discovered filers that appeared to advertise topless dancers at the Replay Lounge. 946 Massachusetts St.
The posters displayed a naked woman to promote the shows of two bands, Cocknoose and Icarus, that played at the Replay on Aug. 15.
"There was a nude woman sitting behind the steering wheel of a car," said Pat Beard, manager of building services at the Kansas Union. "The poster had the 'F' word all across it."
Jack Rosser, manager of the Replay Lounge, said the posters were only a joke.
"Most people don't understand sarcasm," Rosser said. "The part about the semi-nu dancers was a joke."
Rosser said that at the concert advertised by the flier the only nudity was humorous and male.
"There were two men with their shirts off." Rosser said. "One was wearing skin-tight polyester pants, and one guy might have had Depends diapers on," he explained.
The men were friends of the band members who performed at the Replay that night. There were no female strippers at the show.
Pat Beard
"The pornographic nature of it is what made us feel like we needed to advise the KUPD. Whenever anything of an obscene nature shows up, we notify them."
"It wasn't anything like that. It was just a joke, and a lot of people having fun." Rosser said.
Regardless of what went on at the
Manager of building services at Kansas Union
show itself, Beard did not feel the posters were appropriate material to post on campus. When the employee who discovered and removed the poster brought it to Beard, he contacted the KU Public Safety Office.
"The pornographic nature of it is what made us feel like we needed to advise the KUPD." Beard said.
"Whenever anything of an obscene nature shows up, we notify them."
KU police Sgt. Troy Malen said that posting fliers containing nudity was not appropriate for campus.
"I think the University as a whole would wrown on that," he said. "I'm sure it's covered somewhere that certain items are prohibited from being posted on public bulletin boards."
Rosser said the tavern did not post filers for the bands that perform there. Bands post the filers themselves and not always in the most appropriate places.
"We've had problems before where people put filers where they weren't supposed to," Rosser said. "I don't go around with each hand and watch where they put filers up."
Rosser also said that he thought the flier could be offensive to some people.
"There was a copy of it up here, and I censored it," he said. "When I see the bands and tell them, they're going to get a big giggle out of it."

Use your smarts with smartcards
The KU smartcard detractors have raised objections that the smartcard is too "smart" for its own good. Mary Ann Graham, KU Card Center manager, maintains that it's no less secure than the ATM card that most of us carry in our wallets now. So far, that seems to be true. However, an AltaVista search on the World Wide Web yielded some interesting information from a homepage belonging to Gemplus, the company that manufactures the microchips embedded in KU Cards. From this site, one can download software which conceivably could be used to reprogram the chips.
The University needs to address this issue and make certain that hackers won't be able to lock students and faculty out of their own IDs. Beyond that, students and faculty need only take the same care with smartcards that they do with ATM and credit cards.
Students should treat new ID cards with the same responsibility as ATM and credit cards.
All the furor about the KU Card — it may not be safe, it didn't work with the bus system when it was supposed to, it wasn't completely ready for use in the summer — suggests a question: why a smartcard, and why so quickly? Other universities have made their student IDs smarter without microchips. Of course, those IDs don't work in vending machines or double as bank cards.
Our cards, which were adopted by the University last spring will eliminate many inconveniences of the old student ID cards, we are told. For instance, the KU smartcard will function as a bus pass, as well as a smart
key and meal ticket for residence hall students. It also will allow students and faculty to take advantage of facilities at Robinson Center without having to physically surrender their ID cards. In the future, the card will allow students to purchase photocopy and laser printing services on campus.
But one answer as to why the University jumped aboard the technology train so quickly can be found on Gemplus' Web site (www.gemplus.com). The card will pay for itself as it "generates revenue by encouraging on-campus expenditure."
Doubtless, the administration expects most of that expenditure to go into the more than 150 Coca-Cola machines that now blanket the KU campus. Once again, it seems that money talks, and the University of Kansas is all ears.

Bike lanes progress is promising
The Lawrence City Commission deserves a big thanks from the community for taking action to resolve an issue important to both students and city residents — making space for bicycles on and along Lawrence streets.
This summer, the city built bike paths on the west side of Iowa Street from 19th to 23rd streets and also between 23rd and 27th along Naismith. Furthermore, the paths are made of concrete, a substance more stable than asphalt or dirt. Existing paths are being widened and covered in concrete.
The city's efforts to generate a public awareness program also deserve applause. Designed to influence cyclists and drivers to share the
New paths, awareness program and city transportation planning office lead the way.
road, tentative plans for the program include public education programs on radio and in newspapers, filers in utility bills, maps of new and existing paths and educational programs in elementary schools.
City Hall has even created a new office — City Transportation Planner. Aaron Bartlett is the first person to hold this position.
campus — an area with lots of traffic, both from bicycles and cars.
The city still is studying plans to re engineer streets in the heart of Lawrence, especially those east of
Lawrence still lacks bike lanes integrated into city streets. While reengineering streets is a costly and time-consuming process, it definitely can be done—and needs to be done to make sure cyclists can ride without fear of being struck and killed by an automobile.
Students and residents alike should not lower their voices just yet. Anyone who feels strongly about the issue should voice their opinions at a meeting of the city Bicycle Advisory Committee, which meets the third Tuesday of every month on the fourth floor of City Hall.
Nonetheless, the progress city officials have made is remarkable and worthy of our gratitude.

First day's homework: Read the paper, respond
Long lines for bus passes and books signal a return to Mount Oread. Sidewalks that just days ago were empty now are jammed with students. And today, the first day
Many such lectures focus on semester deadlines: test dates and paper due dates.

My job is deadlines, so these lectures are right up my alley. One in particular caught my attention. A professor, who calmly had been reviewing classroom etiquette, paused and then yelled: "And I don't want to see anyone reading Kansans during my class!"
reading this right now in a certain room in Blake Hall. I hope you don't get caught.
That lecture made for a great first day: It reassured me that students were interested in The University Daily Kansan, and I found out that I could drop the class.
The organization of the Kansan is similar to that of other campus groups. Every semester brings new faces and a shift of responsibilities. Some of us have spent more than our share of time in the newsroom, 111 Stauffer-Flint Hall. Others have just begun.
Within the newsroom, the Kansan has a news side and an advertising side.
The ad staff ensures much of our financial stability so that we can bring you the news. They also were the ones who came up with the home-delivery idea for the back-to-school issue, which was good for you, the dedicated reader, and not so good for the staff members who delivered the papers at 6 a.m. Monday. I hope you read that issue.
Reporters, designers, copy editors and photographers — along with their editors — can be found in the newsroom. Or, even better, outside the newsroom conducting interviews or figuring out what it is readers want to know.
About 4 p.m., the people who haunt this building until the early hours of the morning begin to arrive. The news editor, who is the last person here each night, leaves with the pages ready to be printed at 12:30 a.m.
The next morning, the papers sit in the distribution boxes awaiting you, the reader. After you have picked up a paper, we want you to find news, features and photos that interest you.

the Kansan to provide the range of coverage that makes it a complete newspaper for you.
As for fixing problems, copy editing is my career of choice. After working here for eight semesters, I have little time left to change my career path. It has been awhile since the Kansan has had someone with a copy-editing background rather than reporting background as editor. For me, the new job is a change from the night side to the day side. One of my goals is to early in the day find the problems that too often must be resolved at night. Then everyone can wake up to accurate and fair coverage, and no one on staff must to face the ire that occurs when deadline is missed.
In addition, the content of the Kansan will change in several ways, many of these in response to reader feedback. (It works to tell us what you think.)
Back by popular demand will be a daily On Campus. This listing should alert readers to the multitude of campus activities that occur each day. On Campus, which is a free service for readers, will run on a space-available basis. When space is limited, listings for later events may be held.
An added feature this semester will be the expanded coverage of national and international news. But we will localize the events to reflect the reactions of the University community.
The new Web site may be a shock to those who click to the Kansan regularly. Our Web staff has constructed a site that downloads more quickly. Other features include an index that allows for easier navigation and an archive, so you can find all of those articles you missed.
Look to the Web for a complete listing:
www.kansan.com.
I have attended many campus organizations' meetings during which the Kansan coverage of their groups are discussed at some point. What befuddles me is that, whether they are pleased or disgruntled, rarely do we here about it.
We have people in the newsroom from at least 9 a.m. until after midnight, Sunday through Thursday, and until late afternoon Friday. No long lines or deadlines exist for submitting feedback.

view about how to make the most of college life.
So welcome Andy, and all other naive freshman out there.
As a freshman, you should learn to take solace in the fact that you don't know jack about squat.

Don't believe me? Think you're pretty sharp? Think I'm a jerk!
Tim Harrington opinion.kansan.com
Think back to when you were a freshman in high school. Were you a monon?
Well, so was I, and so we all were. And now you're a moron once again — slightly more sophisticated and seasoned, a great deal taller — at least in your case Andy — but a moron none-the-less.
Enjoy it. You are a blank page, a dry sponge.
Soak up everything you lay your eyes on.
Relax, and learn from all the mistakes you'll make.
Look at it from a "glass is half-full" perspective. Don't focus on how callow you were. Think about how far you've come and where you'll go. That's what I do — helps me to sleep at night.
Tip No. 2. this one's long. Please bear with me. College is full of young, beautiful, energetic, intelligent, industrious, insecure and often intoxicated people — like high school only legal.
Now I could go into how you should meet these people through one or many of the hundreds of athletic, scholastic, political and cultural clubs and organizations on campus, but let's leave that to the peppery folks from orientation.
These groups are the result of what makes college such a dreamy slice of life, not the cause, which I will get to in a moment.
People are on their own, but they work and live among each other. A degree of tolerance is imperative for everyone to get their proverbial nut.
what I've gathered from reconnaissance into the real, working, post-college world is that people, for the most part, treat one another and their opinions with a certain measure of respect, if not indifference.
So sell out, and join a frat. Revel in pro-establishment perks. Or bust out, and join the protest — any protest. Experiment with facial hair, throw on a pair of hemp underwear and chain yourself to a tree nobody wants to cut down.
but not here, my fledgling Jayhawk friends,
and therein lies the collegiate magic.
You can be an intolerant right-wing nut ball, damning the poor for being so poor, preaching the moral high road, "Rush is right" and all that. You can be offensive liberal, shouting idealistic, more-liberal-than-thou comments in the face of anyone wearing a collared shirt.
either way, some group will embrace you for it, love you even. There's probably a mailbox for it in the Student Union Activities office.
Choose anything in between or beyond, but no matter where you end up on the spectrum, take yourself very,very seriously. That's a luxury that college life affords, and my tip No. 3 is to exploit it while you can.
If you can't laugh at yourself, you're probably in college.
Treating people and their opinions with respect and hoping for them to reciprocate will lead only to frustration. You'll end up on top of the Campanile — that point thing on the hill — with a high-powered rifle, and nobody wants that.
Don't waste time trying to foster a personal relationship with somebody who looks or dresses or thinks differently than yourself when it's not yet necessary — just know that someday it will be.
True, you'll miss out on some enlightening experiences and meaningful friendships, but why go against the grain?
Andy and the other more-clever-than-average freshman may be saying "Tim, you just one semester away from being a freshman in real life and an idiot by your own standard. Why should I take your word for anything? Your a putz."
The reason you should believe me is that I am flat-out, undeniably, exceptionally intelligent.
I must be. In only four short years, I earned the esteemed honor of becoming Associate Features Editor. I've since moved onward and upward to the coveted and powerful position of Associate Opinion Page editor. I was voted most likely to be an associate) by my peers.
But enough bragging. The point is: do I have brains enough to observe and communicate the college mojo? You bet your associate I do.

Candidate Sawyer makes campus stop
By Jason Pearce
Kansan staff writer
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Tom Sawyer visited the University of Kansas yesterday and gave students an overview of his plans to improve the overall quality of education in the state.
Sawyer, who will face incumbent Bill Graves in the November general election, discussed his progressive agenda with prospective student voters at the Rock-a-Hawk picnic behind Ellsworth Hall.
"Improving educational opportunity for Kansas students is my top priority." Sawyer said. "My STARS (Student Tuition Assistance Recognition Scholarship) program would make it possible for working families to send their children to college."
Sawyer said STARS would reward Kansas students who earn a B- average or better in high school with free tuition to any Kansas university, college or vocational school.
According to the Kansas Board of Regents, the program would need $42 million in Kansas Lottery revenue to finance the scholarships every year. The lottery reported sales of $192 million last year, with about $59 million financing state programs.
The state uses most of the $59 million for economic-development programs, but Sawyer said some of those programs either were not held accountable or had failed to bring new jobs to the state.
"The most important economic development tool is a well-educated work force," Sawyer said. "For $42 million, we could help students to receive a college degree and still fund the other programs that work."
Sawyer said he thought that this program also would increase high school test scores because
parents would become more involved with their children's education.
For students in earlier grades, Sawyer said he wanted to reduce class sizes to 17 students in kindergarten through third grade.
This program would help more children to read, write and do math at the third-grade level when they leave that grade. he said.
Sawyer said that because of his proposals, he was a better candidate for governor.
"Graves is missing many opportunities to improve the quality of life in Kansas," Sawyer said. "He is a stand-still governor with no real initiatives of his own."
"Graves has done a lot for Kansas, especially in the area of cutting taxes," Cools said. "He has cut the car-registration tax and property taxes and has worked to reduce the state work force."
- Ward Cook, KU College Republican chairman,
said he did not think that Graves had been a "stand-still" governor.
Cook said he thought Graves was the first governor in the last 35 years who had tried to consider all people's opinions in major decisions.
"I think he is the most popular governor we have ever had, and that just doesn't happen by standing still," he said. "Most Kansans feel more than satisfied with the job Graves has done."
Cook, however, said he didn't know much about Sawyer or his proposals.
Phil Stevenson, KU Democrats president, said he agreed with Sawyer.
"Although Graves has been a popular governor, he didn't offer enough leadership last session to make significant changes." Stevenson said.
As a KU Democrat, Stevenson and others have been busy drumming up support for Sawyer and other Democrats, although most Kansas voters register as Republicans.

Sawyer would have to get his message to all potential voters.
"In the end, I think people will see him as a better governor with better proposals than Graves," Stevenson said.
Stevenson said the KU Democrats' plan was to promote Sawyer to students who may be frustrated with the political system.
Stevenson said the KU Democrats also are working to register students—both Democrats and Republicans—to vote in the general election.

Formal rush changes format
Men sample greek life
By Sarah Hale
Kanson staff writer
Between visiting houses and sitting through meetings, the men who went through formal rush had a look at the real fraternity experience.
In past years, the rushees visited chapters by day and stayed at the Ramada Inn, 2222 W. Sixth St., by night. This year, partly because of the high cost of staying at a hotel, the men are staying at various fraternity houses.
Formal rush started Saturday and ended yesterday evening. The men find out today which chapter they will join.
Seventeen of the 23 fraternities are going through formal rush this year for the 47 men who began the process. Nine of these
"We don't really have that much time to plan things to do with them," said Ron Colbert, rush chairman for Phi Kappa Theta fraternity, which has three rushees. "But every night, we sat up and talked, played PlayStation or watched TV."
Though Colbert said he saw the advantages of having the rushees stay in the houses, he also said there were disadvantages. He mainly was worried about how a rushee felt when the house in which he was staying didn't want him in the fraternity. Colbert also said he thought that the rushees would be biased toward the chapter with which they were staying.
"They need to either have the guys go back to the Ramada or just change the system," Colbert said. "Not only is it biased, but how would you feel if a house cut
you and you still had to stay there?"
The rushees were randomly placed in each of the nine houses. Colbert said they should have the option of staying with numerous houses.
Every year, many Kansas high school seniors go through an informal rush process in which they visit a specific fraternity and spend time with the men. Usually, they find out about a house from a friend or a family member, said Matt Haverkamp, vice president for recruitment on the Interfraternity Council. In May, the chapters ask the seniors to join the fraternity.
Any University of Kansas man interested in joining a fraternity chapter may still do so at any point throughout the year. Contact the Interfraternity Council for more information about informal rush and about being put on the rush list. The phone number is 864-3559.
Medical students aid agencies
Bv Sue Franke
Kansan staff writer
Twenty-nine University of Kansas Medical Center students stepped out of the classroom and away from their comfort zones by reaching out to the needy and disadvantaged in the Kansas City area this summer through a community health project.
The students, who are between their first and second year of medical school, spent eight weeks at social-service agencies in Kansas and Missouri. They worked in places such as Kansas City Hospice and the Kansas Jaycees Cerebral Palsy Ranch in Augusta.
tor of the student-run program.
Although traditional first-year medical education focuses on how the healthy body works, this project gave students an opportunity to look at the mental, social and family health of patients.
Students provided agencies with educational and research support, said Danielle Stebbins, Olathe second-year medical student and direc-
Melissa Brickman, Lenexa second-year medical student, taught prenatal classes for The Light House, a Kansas City, Mo., residence for pregnant girls aged 15 to 19. She also helped the girls sign up for day-care services.
"As my project, I developed a resource booklet, which includes information on stages of child development, how to look for a day care, including questions you should ask, how to establish a day care in your home and information on Medicaid and housing," she said.
Brickman worked at The Light House four days a week, eating meals with the girls and taking them on errands. She also went through a Lamaze class with one resident for 1 1/2 months.
Jason Wichman, Manhattan second-year medical student, said that working with the Sunflower House,
Stebbins said the community health project gave future physicians the resources to make referrals for patients.
a child-abuse prevention center, was an eye-opening experience.
"We saw people from every income bracket. The experience helped me learn how to deal with people in crisis," he said. "I didn't want to think that this was happening around me in my little world."
For his project, Wichman developed a parents' handbook that defines sexual abuse and includes resources and advice about how a parents can help their child recover.
Wichman said that after working at Sunflower House, he became interested in practicing pediatrics as a physician.
These are once-in-a-lifetime experiences, said Chris Brown, Kansas City, Kan., second-year medical student and program director.
"When would someone normally come into contact with a terminally ill person and have a chance to talk with them and not be pressed for time?" he said. "When you get into the frustration of medicine, you can fall back on the good parts of these experiences."

Rising Sun calls to KU student
Internship offers politics in China
By Augustus Anthony Piazza
Kansan Staff Writer
It's 1998, and interns have been making a name for themselves in the world of politics.
For one KU student, the opportunity to work as a political non-paid intern allowed him to practice his Chinese language skills and get real world experience in the Land of the Rising Sun.
Cody Simms, Wichita senior, spent two months interning for the U.S. State Department's Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs in China and spent two weeks helping organize an environmental round table that President Bill Clinton attended Aug. 2 in Guilin, China.
"It was a good way to get to China and practice my Chinese again," said Simms, who studied Chinese last summer in Beijing.
"I told myself when I was studying last summer that I wanted to get a real experience type of job," said Simms, who is the forums coordinator for Student Union Activities.
"I felt that if I just studied again, I wasn't getting real world experience out there."
writing economic reports for the Commerce Department and interviewing Chinese people for nonimmigrant visa's at the U.S. Consulate's Office in Guangzhou, China.
Simms said the interviewing was the most difficult part of his job because it was hard to determine if the people actually, were telling the truth that they would return to China if they were issued a visa.
Simms spent most of the summer

He said the most exiting part of his internship was Clinton's visit to Guillin.
During the visit, Simms escorted American guests invited to Clinton's speech and some members of Congress to the round table.
Cody Simms, Wichita senior, sits outside the Kansas Union. Simms worked as an intern for the U.S.State Department's Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs in China this summer. Simms helped organize an environmental round table that President Clinton attended in Guilin, China.
"I got to stand there and watch the environmental discussion, which was really neat," he said.
After the round table, Simms rode in the Presidential motorcade.
Simms worked very close to the President during the visit but never talked to him.
"I was working, and I felt that it was unprofessional to talk to him while we were working," Simms said.
He also was very impressed by the President's enthusiastic approach to the round table.

"I thought that this was very interesting for Clinton, this late in his term, to be focusing on the environment," Simms said. "He must really care because he wasn't just doing it for votes."
Although the internship kept him extremely busy, two months away from home caused him to miss some American conveniences, such as waiting in an organized line or getting away for some private time.
He found that many of the Chinese people he encountered did not understand the concept of waiting in line. Instead, they would all surge to the front of the line.
Simms was missed at home, too
"I hated to see him go so far away
this summer," said Kathyrn Simms, Cody Simms' mother, who spoke to him once a week by phone.
The first thing she said to him when he got off the plane was that he looked skinny.
Now Simms is thinking about applying to law school next fall.
Simms' mother knows he has a tendency to get bored with things and is always trying something new.
"I want Cody to be challenged by whatever he did," Katherine said.
Child-theater group to give performance
Kansan staff writer
By Mariana Paiva
For those in doubt about what to do this weekend, Liberty Hall may have the entertainment solution.
The Seem-to-Be Players theater company will hold a variety show, including a creole dinner, cultural show and a performance by The Band that Saved the World. The fund-raising event will begin at 7 p.m. Saturday in Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St.
Tickets for the dinner, show and concert cost $20 and are available
at Liberty Hall and at Ticketmaster outlets. Tickets for the concert cost $5 at the door.
"It will be Lawrence's biggest party," said Shane Schele, director of the event and the company's managing director.
The event will start with dinner and will be followed by the cultural show until 10 p.m. The band will play from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m.
Schele said the variety show was
"The group is a great party band, a funk-soul-pop music band that has been playing in Lawrence for a long time," Schele said.
formerly held in January but the company decided to have it earlier to attract more people.
"We'll have a bigger and better party this year," Schele said. "We have a variety of attractions that include singers, dancers, ballroom dancers and even a fire-eater."
The Seem-to-Be-Players is a professional theater group that traditionally performs for children. The group began in Lawrence 26 years ago, but its 1989-99 tour will travel from coast to coast, moving from Rhode Island to California.
Kristen Paludan, assistant director of the show, said the event's performers were mostly Lawrence residents and included several students from the University of Kansas.
"People are graciously participating as volunteers," she said. "It is always nice to have people who want to support the company."
Paludan said she also would be participating, singing All That Jazz from the musical "Chicago." She said that anyone interested in participating in the Seem-to-Be Players' future events should call its office at 843-5067.

Todd Hershberger recalls listening to Elton John's greatest-hit album at the age of 4, through headphones that seemed as large as his head.
As a child, his favorite song was Rocket Man. At the time, he loved the song because, like most 4-year-olds, Hershberger, Lawrence junior, dreamed of becoming an astronaut.

it was at his teacher's urging that Hershberger's parents decided that their son should take piano lessons.

His preschool teacher also noticed something musical in Hershberger.
their young son was mesmerized by music. "I think my parents caught me playing air piano more than once," Hershberger said.
These lessons would lead Hershberger to win a $1,000 research grant at the age of 22 for his proposal to write an orchestraal piece for an entire symphony.

Hershberger said his musical dream was for people not to call his musical creations just interesting.

He said that everyone should try to appreciate different musical styles.
"He's an all-around musician," Hoag said. "He is a good instrumentalist, a good composer and has a good background."

"I dare people to get out of popular music." Hersberger said. "I like to urge people to
get into jazz, just listen and don't just sit there with a blank look on their face like they are staring at the wallpaper."
"Even the bugs in fall are just as beautiful as anything ever written," he said.
Hershberger's talents continued to grow, he said. The child who started on the piano graduated to the saxophone and then to the bassoon.
"Todd is a very gifted and articulate young man who knows what he wants to do," said Charles Hoag, professor of music and dance with whom Hershberger has been studying.
"I quit taking piano lessons in the beginning of high school," Hershberger said. "It was the best thing that ever happened to me. I started to experiment with sounds, doing my own things. I really started composing when I was young."
Composing music was something Hershberger discovered at a young age.
GTA health-care plan sparks differing reactions
The new health-care plan for graduate teaching assistants is receiving both applause and criticism.
By Julie M. Sachs
Kansan staff writer
Although many are elated that there will be employer-contributed health care, there has been much debate because of the cost of the plan.
"What's most disappointing is that the plan is too costly for most GTAs," said Mark Horowitz, Graduate Teaching Assistant Coalition organizer. "At least it's a first step for GTAs to improve their working conditions."
Provisions in the plan, which are to go into effect Sept. 1, also are very complex, said Erick Honores Trujillo, Peru graduate student.
Jeanette Johnson, assistant to the provost, said that each month the University of Kansas must check to make sure that those graduate assistants enrolled in the plan meet certain enrollment and appointment-length criteria
Graduate assistants must work
750 hours during two semesters
and also be enrolled in six hours to be covered by the plan, Johnson said.
Provisions in the plan also state that the employer contribution by the University is void during the summer if the insured person does not remain an employee, said Ola Faucher, Director of Human Resources.
"The state said we can only pay when the GTA is on payroll," Johnson said. "We don't contribute over the summer. The GTA has to pay 100 percent over the summer."
Individuals who choose to become insured with the plan have to be treated at Watkins Memorial Health Center to take full advantage of the plan's benefits, said Jim Boyle, interim director of Watkins student health services.
"It's to your advantage to use Watkins as your medical source," Bovle said.
But not everyone insured under the plan is able to be treated at Watkins.
"Spouses are not eligible to use Watkins if they are not enrolled," Boyle said.
GTA health care plan
The health care plan consists of two coverage options; a basic plan and a comprehensive plan. Costs are listed by age group for each of these options.

Student and Children 23.58 $29.25; 49.92
Family 56.33 $67.42; 107.60
Children also are not able to be treated at Watkins, but the plan covers an insured child's visit to a pediatrician.
Some graduate assistants said that they were upset at the publicity of these meetings.
Further details regarding the plan have been addressed in several informational seminars.
"It was poor publicity, nobody can go and the times were awkwardly set," said Helen Schuemaker. "It's very disappointing. I haven't talked to anybody who has any idea what's going on."
Kristi Elliott / KANSAN
Johnson said that the times
allotted for the meetings were the best that the University could do on such difficult time constraints.
"We have told all the departments that we would be willing to make a presentation if there is a large interest," Johnson said.
Praise of the new health care plan is all that Johnson said she had received.
"I have had a lot of individual calls," Johnson said. "Most people with whom I talked were very grateful. They were grateful there would be something."

University, Apple team up to give student new iMac through treasure hunt on campus
By Liz Wriston
Kanson staff writer
Say hello to iMac.
say here to make it easy.
The latest Macintosh computer system now is available for sale at the University of Kansas, and one student will have the opportunity to win their own personal iMac system.
One iMac computer will be given away to the student able to locate an eight-inch gold medallion hidden on campus as part of a promotion by Apple Computer, Inc. and the Burge Union Technology Center.
Barry Norris, account executive for Haddock Academic Technologies, said that the medallion would be hidden on the main campus. It will not be located in buildings or residence halls and will be available in open-view access to be accessible to people with disabilities. Haddock is sponsoring the promotion.
In order to be eligible to win, students must be registered at the technology center. The first clue for the contest can be accessed through the Internet, but

students must register at the center to receive the Internet site.
Norris said the iMac system is ideal for students.
"The iMac is so phenomenal that we wanted to create some awareness about it by giving one away for free," said Norris. "Students are looking for a tool that will allow them to be productive and this is an all-in-one type of computer that they can be productive with."
The iMac computer is different from previous systems because it has crossplatform capabilities that allow Windows applications to be used through a program called Virtual PC, Norris said. Users will be able to run Windows 95 or Windows 3.1 on the iMac system.
"The iMac has advanced ease-of-use capabilities because it is a Macintosh system," Norris said. "It is probably the most user-friendly of all the systems. Basically, users just have to pull the iMac out of the box and it is ready to go."
The iMac also offers ethernet capability and an universal serial bus port with future high-speed expandability.
Kelly Gardner, Apple Higher Education account executive, said the iMac was one of the best systems currently available.
"This is the most revolutionary computer since the original Macintosh," he said. "Its design shows that fashion matters, even with computers. It is also extremely powerful and really cool."
Macintosh had more than 150,000 iMac machine orders throughout the country before its release date of August 15. Norris said he expected that number to rise t
Worth winning

Need to access your excess financial aid? Get in line
Students seeking refund checks loan paperwork now must visit individual offices and bring ID
By Molody Ard Kansan staff writer
Students may have to go to two different offices to pick up their excess financial aid if they missed the assigned pick-up time at the Union earlier this week.
Brenda Maigaard, associate director of student financial aid, said that students were able to claim financial aid left over after tuition and campus fees were paid.
Beginning today, students who need to pick up excess financial aid checks must go to Room 20 in Carruth-O'Leary Hall between 8:15 a.m. and 4 p.m. Students who need to sign promissory notes for loans must do so between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. in the Office of Student Financial Aid, 50 Strong Hall. Students who need to pick up excess financial aid and to sign promissory notes will have to go to each office.
Financial-aid award letters that were not picked up Tuesday and Wednesday will be mailed to students' local addresses. The letters may be picked up at the Office of Student Financial Aid if prior arrangements have been made.
Maigaard said that in the past many students had become confused about which University offices addressed specific financial matters.
The responsibilities of the Office of Student Financial Aid include outside scholarships, promissory notes, loan repayment, KU Endowment Loan applications, work-study applications and appeal forms for students who did not meet the requirements of their loans or scholarships.
"Student counselling is also part of our job," Maigaard said. "If students have an emergency situation, I think and hope that they would come to us. We may not be able to help everyone, but we

are a place to start."
Maigaard said the Office of Student Financial Aid often referred students to the Office of General Accounting in Carruth-O'Leary Hall to answer questions about enrollment refunds.
karen Bailey, bursar at the Office of General Accounting, said the office issued refunds to students who change their enrollment or options packages, but that those refunds were not available for students to pick up.
able for students to pick up.
"Students need to remember they can only pick up excess financial aid at Carruth-O'Leary," Bailey said. "People will have to wait for credit from dropping a class or canceling a bus pass. We will mail their refunds to them. They can't pick them up at the office."
Both the financial aid and general accounting offices require students to bring picture identification when picking up checks.
"Because of confidentiality issues, students need to bring a picture ID, like a driver's license or smart card, with them when they come." Bailey said.
Students who need to pick up excess financial aid checks must go between 8:15 a.m. and 4 p.m.to Room 20 in Carruth-O'Leary Hall.
Where to go
- Students who need to sign promissory notes for loans must go between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. to the Office of Student Financial Aid, 50 Strong Hall.

Representatives of various University of Kansas organizations braved the heat last night to promote their causes and attract new members behind the residence halls on Daisy Hill.
The information fair, which was held from 4:30 to 7 p.m., was an effort to inform new and returning students of the opportunities for involvement on campus. Some of the groups have been campus fixtures for years, while others are in their first year or attempting to attract more students with new outlooks.
"We're hoping to change the image of Hillel," said Dana Blecher, of the Jewish Campus Service Corps Fellowship. "We're hoping to do more fun, creative things."
Biecher, a 1998 KU graduate, is back at the University to rebuild the Jewish students' organization. She hopes to help make the organization more open and friendly to students.
Yasmeen Coleman, Kansas City, Kan, junior, also came back from a hiatus as a student to promote an organization. After hearing a speech by Dorothy Height, the president of the National Council of Negro Women, Coleman was inspired to start a branch of the organization at the University.
"I left KU in 1995, and I decided when I came back I wanted to give something back to the community," she said.
The organization, which is still gathering members in order to be chartered, will focus on bringing together African-American women and helping them realize their power as a group.
"Hopefully this will fill a void that's been on this campus a long time," Coleman said. Coleman's table drew a number of interested

women," said Schalisa Moore, Kansas City, Kan. sophomore. "I don't see anything else that has to do with black women."
Moore and friends Vanassa Robinson and Melva Anderson, both Kansas City, Kan. sophomores, said the University did not do enough to attract minorities. They used as an example the fair, which featured only rock music. Moore said she thought there should have been other types of music, such as jazz.
"The music focuses on the majority of the campus, and that's just wrong," she said.
Representatives from the Asian American Student Union said their group was trying to promote diversity on campus by opening their organization to all students.
"It's not just for Asians. We're trying to promote cultural awareness," said Binh Thai, Larned sophomore, in charge of political affairs.
The Navigators, a Christian organization, also is open to anyone who wants to come. Campus director Mark McElmurray said not all the members are followers of Jesus Christ.
"We want to help students open up the Bible and see what it says," he said.
International Friends, another group at the fair, offers foreign students opportunities to explore Christianity and helps students who are not interested in the religious aspect of the group adjust and learn English, said coordinator Len Andyshak.
Several other religious, political and multicultural organizations were at the fair and will be at another fair Friday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the lobby of the Kansas Union.

New volleyball coach sets goals
By Laura Bokenkroger
Kansan sportswriter
In the small town of Grinnell, Ray Bechard and his four brothers took their love of athletics and competition seriously.
Richard Bechard, now the Holton High School athletics director, said Harold Bechard, their oldest brother and now a sportswriter for the Salina Journal, initiated most of the family games. And whenever the brothers played basketball, the competition was fierce.
In games to 100, it was 100-99 or 100-
98 every time. Richard Bechard said.
The winners would run because the losers would chase them, or the other way around. I remember some knockdown, drag-out fights.
They played so many basketball games in their backyard that the dirt became packed too hard for their mother to plant a garden in the sum
mer, Richard Bechard said.
Athletics were central to their lives, and when they weren't t playing basketball or baseball, they watched games on television. The Bechards became devout University of Kansas fans, establishing an unpopular loyalty in the midst of traditionally Kansas State Wildcat territory.
Ray Bechard followed in two of his older brothers footsteps, playing basketball for two years at Barton County Community College in Great Bend. He then got his teaching degree at Fort Hays State University and was ready to begin his career.
I can still remember watching Jo Lo White step out of bounds to keep us out of the Final Four in the 60s, Ray Bechard said. Western Kansas has a lot of K-State supporters, so enduring all that made me a stronger KU fan.
When he was 21, Ray Bechard took his first job teaching and coaching boys basketball at Lewis High School.
Winning ways
Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard has the highest winning percentage of any collegiate volleyball coach at 92.3 percent for his 13 seasons as a coach.
60 losses
716 wins

Before the year began, he was approached with another offer.
We needed a volleyball coach, Ray Bechard said. Initially, I turned them down. I was a casual fan, but I had never played volleyball before.
Richard Bechard said his brother Ray s attention to detail would make him successful as a volleyball coach.
I think a coach is a coach. Richard said. Anyone can learn the Xs and Os. I think Roy Williams would make a great football coach. Ray's people skills and his communication skills granted him the same success in volleyball as in basketball.
Ray agreed to coach the girls volleyball

While students were on vacation, construction workers slaved away all summer in the Kansas heat. The football, basketball, baseball and volleyball programs all will benefit from the renovations to their buildings.
Of the four main projects under way on the Lawrence campus, the work at Memorial Stadium is the greatest undertaking. Home to Jayhawk football, graduation festivities and the Kansas Relays, the stadium is host to numerous events every year.
Assistant athletics director Pat Warren, who is in charge of building projects, said the first phase of the work at Memorial Stadium was near completion. The total cost of the two-phase construction project stands at $12.5 million dollars.
The bulk of the renovations completed during the first phase of construction is aimed at enhancing the experience for the Kansas football fan.
Upon arriving at the venue, spectators will be met at the north end of the stadium by the new black, iron gates instead of the old barn door-style entrances.
Inside, massive renovation has altered the complexion of the concourse. All of the concession stands and restrooms were replaced.
Beyond the visible signs of improvement, much of the concrete and plumbing within the stadium was replaced. Warren said he was confident that the stadium could hold an event even though the project had not quite reached completion.
It's better, but not yet what we want,
Warren said.
Kansas Athletics Director Bob Frederick added that this was something that
By the Sept. 5 home opener against Oklahoma State, Warren confirmed that all of the concourse renovations will be complete in time for Memorial Stadium s Open House.
Future improvements for the stadium include plans for the construction of a new press box that will house more than 30 luxury boxes. Also being added to the structure are new elevators on the east and west sides of the stadium as well as a video monitor.
Before these plans for renovation could be made, structural engineers were asked to decide whether or not the stadium s present condition justified renovation or the complete construction of a new facility.
The second wave of construction is already under way and is scheduled to be finished in time for the start of the 1999 football season.
Allen Field House also is receiving a $4.5 million dollar facelift. The arena will be more accommodating to fans with the addition of new permanent concessions and a new elevator on the south end of the arena. In addition, the restrooms have been renovated to alleviate the long lines that have become a staple of Kansas basketball home games.
New gates (right) and other amenities are almost completely installed in Memorial Stadium. Work at the football stadium is scheduled to be completed for the Sept. 5 season opponent vs. Oklahoma State.

should have been done 20 or 30 years ago.
Hoglund-Maupin Stadium also is undergoing a $1.8 million dollar renovation. The park will take on the look and feel of a vintage baseball stadium.
We had been hoping to renovate Memorial for a number of years. As big of a project as it is, it tooka while to get to it, Frederick said. It s going to make Memorial much more people-friendly. I think it s going be an excellent improvement for our football program.
it is going to be a really pleasant place to be. Frederick said.
The Hoglund-Maupin Stadium project is on schedule and will be ready for its dedication Oct. 3.
We're very excited, Randall said. There is more to a team than a facility but all great teams have great facilities. We're very thankful, very grateful and humbled by it some.
Kansas baseball coach Bobby Randall said that the park would be an excellent addition to the program. He said that it would instill a sense of pride in the players while providing added enjoyment to fans and students alike.
Kansas also is adding a $4 million dollar facility dedicated primarily to volleyball practice and competition. The site, which has not been named yet, also will serve as an alternative practice site for men's and women's basketball and will finally provide a permanent home for Jayhawk volleyball.
Frederick called the addition the most needed of the improvements to the athletics department, because of the space demands on the courts at the Robinson Center. The new facility will consist of three, side-by-side basketball courts, the center one serving as the volleyball court.
Frederick said that the presumed effect of the renovations would be three-fold.
Obviously, every time you improve your facilities, it helps recruiting, helps attendance and keeps the coaches happy, Frederick said.

Bechard sets up shop as volleyball coach

team. He used the experience to learn the sport, to run an efficient practice, and to develop a training program for volleyball.
From that inauspicious beginning, he has developed into a full-fledged fan and a Division I volleyball coach — the new coach of the Kansas women's volleyball team.
Besides the technical aspects of the game, Ray Beachard said he liked the team play of women's volleyball.
"I think it's a great way for females to express themselves athletically." Ray Bechard said.
He coached and taught for three years at Lewis before accepting a position as the Barton County assistant women's basketball
coach.
Ray Bechard kept busy with basketball for two years, but when the Barton County volleyball coach left, he was offered the job.
His teams won 716 games and lost only 60 in 13 seasons. His winning percentage of .923 is the highest of any collegiate volleyball coach.
Neil Elliot, current Barton County athletics director, said Ray Bechard succeeded by connecting with his athletes.
Ray Bechard's success at Barton
"Beachard is an excellent motivator." Elliot said. "Athletes enjoy playing for him. He was one of the most respected guys on campus. He was to Barton County what Roy Williams is to Kansas, as far as respect goes. He was an extremely popular guy."
County included 13 trips to the Jayhawk Western Conference championship in 13 years.
He led his team to the NJCAA Final Four 10 times, compiling a record of 682-56 against junior-college opponents.
Ray Bechard coached 51 All-Region selections, including 16 AllAmericans. He was a two-time National Junior College Coach of the Year.
In 1995 he was an assistant coach for the USA Youth National Team, which won the Slovakian Cup Championship in Zilina. Slovakia
Ray Beachard also was the president of the NJCAA Volleyball Coaches Association for three years.

the Big 12. Playing well consistently and not regretting losses
"The way he brings teams together as a team made him so unique," Johansen said. "I didn't experience that anywhere else."
Ray Beechard was overwhelmingly successful at Barton County, but when the coaching position at Kansas surfaced, he knew it was an opportunity he couldn't turn down.
"From a success standpoint, I was a part of something pretty special," Ray Bechard said. "But being a KU fan for so long, it's like a dream come true."

Ray Bechard said he was excited by the challenge of a difficult schedule and would keep an open mind about this year's possibilities.
"I don't want to make too many preseason assumptions," Ray Bechard said. "We're focusing on our core covenant, and spreading the responsibility around equally."
"I can remember going into the field house for the first time." Richard said. "It was overwhelming, and to have someone in the family coaching there is really exciting."
His inaugural season at Kansas is going to be a challenge, Ray Bechard said. Unlike the winning program he left behind in Great Bend, the Jayhawks have struggled as of late.
That core covenant is a commitment by all the members of the team and the coaching staff to one
This fall, the conference looks stronger than ever. Four teams rank among the Top 25, including No. 5 Nebraska and No. 9 Texas.
The Jayhawks finished 9-24 last season, had had losing records the last four seasons, and finished 2-18 in the Big 12 Conference last season.

about this issue, focusing on the theme of change. Ray Bechard said.
Changes besides Bechard include a new practice and competition building between Allen Field House and Anschutz Sports Pavilion, and four new players.
The players are seeing his commitment during practice, said Laura Rhode, setter for the volleyball team.
"Bechard's very intense," Rhode said. "He's helping us take care of little things that we didn't pay as much attention to before. We're working on basic passing and setting and slowly moving on."
With any luck, a new winning tradition will define the program brought on by the new coach, players, facility and commitment.
This season, however, success will not be measured in terms of a home-court winning streak or conference championship.
Ray Bechard's goals for the team include finishing in the middle of

Ray Bechard's daughter Ashley will be a sophomore at Lawrence High and his son Brennan will be in sixth grade at Sunflower Elementary School.

Commentary
Western background of coach looks ideal for volleyball team
Why?
Bump your way to Allen Field House, set yourself in a seat and spike the Kansas women's volleyball team with your support.
Because a new coach has ridden into Lawrence fresh out of a Western Kansas sunset.
Ray Bechard, the Kansas volleyball coach, is no gunslinger shooting from the hip. He is a focused, competitive individual with a record of success in head-to-head competition.
He grew up in Grinnell, a small town on the plains between Hays and Colby.
If you've never been west of Topeka, you might not understand a horizon that stretches for miles or a sunset that seems to last for hours when you're sitting in the bleachers at a high school football game or riding a bus to or from a competition in your biggest rival's gymnasium.
The new Kansas coach, however, has seen the glorious fire at the day's end on the prairie.
And that fire burns in him—a
competitive flame fanned by boyhood tussles with his brothers, by two years on the Barton County Community College basketball team, by three years coaching at Lewis High School and by
Matthew Friedrichs
more than a decade coaching volleyball at Barton County.
Ray Bechard and his brothers grew up playing basketball in their back yard under the expanse of Kansas sky. They listened to KU football and basketball.
They cheered for the Jayhawks in an area where fashion doesn't matter, but it is fashionable to bleed purple and cheer for the Kansas State Wildcats.
One brother now coaches basketball in Gardner, another brother writes about sports in Salina and a
third brother is the athletics director at Holton High School.
It was only natural, competing with brothers such as this day in and day out that Bechard developed a nose for winning and a desire to earn his living from sports.
Now the only iron he plays basketball during noon pick-up games at Allen Field House is that he's on the court as a volleyball coach, not assisting or coaching the basketball program.
Of course, Bechard isn't the only addition to this season's team.
The team also has new players, a new attitude, and by the end of the season, a new practice and competition facility ready to use.
Come watch the new Kansas women's volleyball team during its last few months playing in the field house.
Cheer for the Hawks when they take on rivals such as K-State and Missouri.
Rest assured that Ray Bechard is preparing his team for their enemies — he knows about small-town
rivalships and Jayhawk Conference blood feuds.
And growing up in K-State territory, he's been on the right side all along.
Don't worry about the team's previous record.
He's come from the setting sun in the West to the East where the sun rises.
Beachard knows about winning—his Barton County Cougars lost fewer than 10 percent of their matches.
In the morning, the light grows instead of dimming, but the dawning colors are the same as those of dusk.
Glorious hues of gold, orange,
pink and crimson paint the sky
until it turns a deep blue over the
fully illuminated land.
A new season is dawning for the KU volleyball team, led by a Kansas boy who has the fire and color of a wide-open horizon and who will blaze a new tradition of winning.
Friedrichs is a Bremen, Kan., graduate student in journalism.
No.2 quarterback still not chosen
Two freshmen junior considered for backup spot
by Jodi M. Smith Kansan sportswriter
Jim Kelly had Frank Reich; Phil Simms had Jeff Hostetler and Joe Montana had Steve Young. All were supported by a competent backup quarterback who pushed them through their seasons and provided them relief when necessary.
But Kansas quarterback Zac Wegner is not in the same boat as those NFL legends.
Right now, he lacks a backup for his position, but according to coach Terry Allen, it won't be long.
With the close of two-a-day practices and a morning scrimmage yesterday, Allen and his supporting staff have not yet made a decision about the No.2 quarterback position.
the competition remains between freshman Jonas Weatherbie, freshman walk-on Jake Letourneau and junior walk-on Jay Alexander.
Allen said on a scale of one to 10, the three prospects are at two and a half.
"Zac has had a very good preseason, but we still don't have a backup that we feel comfortable with," he said.
The lack of a backup only poses a problem if Wegner, who has one year of varsity experience under

his belt, gets injured.

"If Zac doesn't get hurt, it's not a problem," Allen said. "But if he gets hurt, it's a huge problem. If we did have an injury, we could get through that game, but then we'd have to change up the offense."
Allen said that the physical aspect of the game had not been difficult for the three inexperienced players to deal with but that the mental work had caused them problems.
Allen said that a decision should be reached in the next couple of days.

Rookie quarterbacks to face off in NFL
The Associated Press
SAN DIEGO — Chargers general manager Bobby Beathard saw Ryan Leaf talking to reporters Monday afternoon and couldn't resist stirring it up.
"It's the biggest week in the NFL Leaf vs. Manning." Beathard said.
Peyton Manning's Indianapolis Colts play host to Leaf's Chargers on Saturday night, the first of two matchups in 44 days between the rookie quarterbacks taken with the first two picks in the NFL draft.
"I think it's the media's big play—here's your big push to get the No. 1 and No. 2 picks playing against each other," Leaf said. "But they're not going to be playing against each other. It's the Chargers against the Colts. He's not playing safety or linebacker against me, so it really has no relevance to what's going on out there."
After leading the Colts to a 30-27 victory Monday night in Cincinnati, Manning said, "People are going to make comparisons, and you can't pretend it's not there. But I'm not trying to outdo him, and he's not trying to do me.
10
The teams, not the media, make up their own exhibition schedules. This game was scheduled a few years ago,
long before the Colts and Chargers turned out to be so bad that they earned such high draft picks.
Manning: Faces
No. 2 NFT draft pick
Leaf Saturday night
The Colts had the NFL's worst record last year, 3-13, and the Chargers were 4-12. Even so, Beathard had to made a block-buster deal with Arizona just t
move from third to second in the draft.
And by finishing last in their divisions, the Colts and Chargers earned a regular-season matchup
-Oct. 4, also at Indianapolis.
Leaf and Manning may not like the comparisons, but they're going to get them, even from the NFL's public relations machine.
In the NFL's preseason release, there's a section with this headline: "Passing The Torch: QB Class of '88. It's noted that the Oct. 4 game will be just the second "battle" in NFL history of rookie quarterbacks drafted 1-2 in the same year. The other was Sept. 19, 1993, when second-pick Rick Mirer's Seattle Seahawks beat first-pick Drew Bledsoe's New England Patriots 17-14.
Manning and Leaf will do it twice. One game won't count, the other will.
Beathard said that he expected this game to get a lot of attention and that both organizations would try to downplay it.
"It's just the way the schedule goes," he said. "At this stage of their careers it's probably meaningless to try to compare the two on the outcome of this game or out of their performance in this game." Leaf said he was looking forward to the game.
Leaf said he spoke with Manning right before training camp opened.
"I'll probably like the boo a little bit," he said. "They get you fired up a little more."
"Every time we're around each other, we sit and talk about our families, get to know what's going on in our lives, which is a great release because we're both in such similar situations," he said. "It's nice to have somebody like that to be able to talk to."
"Ryan and I have a lot in common," Manning said. "We're playing a lot as rookies and have a lot of pressure put on us. He and I are in the same boat. We talked about it way back. All we can do is the best we can and try to learn on the job this year."
Manning feels the same wav.
Clippers may hire Rambis
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Clippers are expected to formally offer their head coaching spot to Los Angeles Lakers assistant Kurt Rambis, it was reported today.
general manager Mitch Kupchak said of Rambis. "He continues to ask questions every day, he

CLIPPERS
The offer could come as early as today, the Los Angeles Times reported, citing sources close the situation. The Times also reported that the Sacramento Kings, who fired Eddie Jordan on Tuesday, also are interested in Rambis.
"He is the hardest worker of any assistant I have ever seen." Lakers
watches tape and he is eager to learn. He had to know details (of the game) more than other players (who had more talent), and that certainly didn't hurt him. He certainly well, and, most importantly, he has been involved in a winning organization for many years."
Rambis met once with Elgin Baylor, the Clippers' vice president of
basketball operations, this summer and had a meeting recently with team owner Donald Sterling.
As for the Kings, Jordan was fired as head coach after leading the team to a 27-55 record last season. Jordan, 43, spent seven seasons in the NBA, including 1981-82 when he and Rambis were members of a Laker team that won the NBA championship. Jordan also returned to the Lakers briefly in the 1983-84 season.
Neither Rambis nor his agent, Lon Rosen, was available for comment, the newspaper said.

Cyclones quarterback hopes to avoid injury, lead team to improved season
The Associated Press
AMES, Iowa — Sweet and sour could be one way to describe Todd Bandhauer's junior season at Iowa State. Sweet and sore might be a better description.
It was sweet because Bandhauer threw for 2,514 yards, the second-best total in school history, and a school-record 20 touchdowns. Both figures led the Big 12 Conference.
Sore because Bandhauer took a lot of hits while achieving those numbers, including one that left him with a nasty scar on his chin, courtesy of an opponent's helmet.
"That was (Villiami) Maumau, from Colorado," Bandhauer said. "Actually, I had another scar there and that opened it up and created another."
Bandhauer can joke about the scar now. But the punishment he took from opposing defenses last fall was nothing to laugh about, nor was going 1-10. That was something Bandhauer had never experienced before.
"We weren't very good in high school, but nothing like that," he said. "That was just miserable."
It was all the more miserable because Band-hauer put much of the blame on himself. After completing only seven of 23 passes in a 45-21 loss at Missouri, Bandhauer called it "the worst game I've ever played in my entire life" and apologized for his play. He suggested he might
Bandhauer realizes now he was taking things too personally.
need to talk to a psychologist.
"I've got to step back a little," he said. "Some of the things I said last year, I was way too hard on myself. I've just got to take each play one at a time and focus on the present and not dwell on the past."
Easy to say, he noted, not so easy to carry out.
or snap your finger and do it." Bandhauer said. "It's going to be done over a period of time."
Besides, Bandhauer pointed out, he's just as hard on himself in school, where he has been successful enough to earn first-team academic All-Big 12 honors.
"Ask my girlfriend. See what she says on that," said Bandhauer, a mechanical engineer-major. "I've got to control myself on that, too, but it's easier in school work. If我 mess up on a problem, I'm not going to hear about it in the newspaper the next day."
Actually, Bandhauer doesn't even find his statistics all that impressive because he knows why he got them. The Cyclones were behind a lot and for much of the season they couldn't run the ball very well, so they had to pass.
Because of that, opponents blitzed constantly and Bandhauer became an easy target for defenders storming unchecked into the backfield.
With tailback Darren Davis completely
healthy now, the running game should be better this season. The offensive line protecting Band-hauer doesn't have much experience, but he can deal with that.
"You can't blame guys for not having a lot of experience," he said. "I wouldn't mind having five red-shirt seniors in front of me, but that doesn't bother me. I've still got to do what I've got to do win.
"We've been working on a lot of things in the offseason. Our first-team offense had no turnovers the entire spring ball. I think that had a lot to do with us getting rid of the ball faster and making crisp, clean reads and throwing on time. If do that, that will help those guys a lot."
Bandhauer is working with a new offensive coordinator. Pete Hoenner was lured away from TCU after Steve Loney left to become offensive coordinator at Minnesota. Hoenner, who also coaches the offensive line, has a more simplified, straightforward attack, Bandhauer said.
"You have to change gears when you're 1-10," he said. "You have to do something, I think this will help. We're definitely on the right track. Coach Hoener's a fantastic coach. He's a fantastic addition to our staff."
"He'll get those o-line guys who don't have much experience and bring those guys along," Bandhauer said. "I know they'll be ready."
It'll make life a lot easier — and safer — for Bandhauser if they are.
Nebraska assistants happily tackle roles
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — Tom Osborne was one. So was Frank Solich.
Before Nebraska's two most recent coaches led the Cornhuskers, they toiled in relative anonymity as assistant coaches — those hardworking but largely unknown people who all dress the same on game day.
The assistants insist it's great to be a face on the sideline.
When Osborne retired after the Orange Bowl, he turned over the program to Solich, an assistant for 19 years.
"As long as the players know who's coaching them, that's enough for me," said Charlie McBride, defensive coordinator. "I'm not in it for ego. I just enjoy the coaching."
Few other programs in the country enjoy the loyalty among staff that Nebraska has. At many other schools, assistants who stay only a year or two make it harder for players to learn systems
and personalities.
The Cornhuskers don't deal with that kind of confusion.
"We know what we want to get done with our players, and our players know what we're after." Solich said.
Several of the men who coach the positions at Nebraska look more like barbers or grocers than football coaches. With their quick smiles, some seem as if they had wandered from a hardware store.
The staff includes George Darlington (26 years), defensive backs; Milt Tentopir (25 years), offensive line; McBride (22 years); Dan Young (16 years), offensive line and kickers; Ron Brown (12 years), receivers; Turner Gill (seven years), quarterbacks; Craig Bohl (four years), linebackers; Nelson Barnes (two years), defensive ends; and Dave Gillespie (first year), running backs.
Tenopir said he enjoyed working behind the scenes.
"I don't need to have a pat on the back," he said. "I know people will appreciate the things my guys do up front. As Tom used to say, the head coach gets all the credit, but he knows who did all the work."
Brown said that in some ways, being an assistant at Nebraska was like being a head coach elsewhere. He said that Husker assistants spent time talking to boosters and the media, a job usually reserved for head coaches.
"I've talked to other coaches around the country who can't believe the platform we have," Brown said.
Then there is the reward from contributing to a program that has won 60 of 63 games during the last five years. Brown also described the camaraderie within the Husker coaching family.
"The quality of life for assistant coaches at Nebraska is so good that a lot of us probably just say, 'Hey, what could be better than this,'" Brown said. "We're all comfortable together."

Fulfilling expectations more difficult for Irish
Lawsuits, sanctions and youthfulness hurt team
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Many Notre Dame coaches have had disappointing first seasons.
The Associated Press
Lou Holtz and Gerry Faust went 5-6.丹 Devine was 8-3. Even Knute Rocke struggled, going 3-1-2. But none of them had to deal with an embarrassing age discrimination lawsuit from a fired assistant coach. None of them returned for their second season facing the threat of NCAA sanctions.
ND
And in their third season, Devine, Frank Leahy and Ara Parseghian all won the national championship, while Rockne put the final touches on his second straight undefeated season.
"I've looked at that schedule in year three, and I hope I'm not going to be judged by that standard," the Irish coach said. "But let's face it. You are judged by a different standard when you are the head coach at Notre Dame."
Bob Davie knows it's time to produce.
But Davie has more to worry about than wins and losses. A cloud has been hanging over the program ever since ex-assistant coach Joe Moore successfully sued because of his dismissal in December 1996, one of Davie's first coaching moves. Moore, 64 when he was fired, was awarded close to $86,000 by a jury.
Notre Dame also is facing possible NCAA sanctions after an internal investigation turned up two rules violations by a booster who gave Irish players cash and gifts with money she embezzled from a South Bend business. The university is awaiting word on the punishment.
Nonetheless, Irish coaches and players insist the problems haven't been a distraction.
"You just can't pay attention to it," said senior captain Mike Rosenthal, one of the star witnesses in Moore's lawsuit. "It's never been a distraction."
Besides, they have enough to worry about on the field.
The Irish don't have a proven quarterback in Jarius Jackson. They don't have breakaway threats at tailback and wide receiver. They lack experience at defensive line and cornerbacks for
a squad that ranked in the bottom one-third of Division I schools for rush defense last year.
Then there's that season opener at home against defending national champion Michigan.
"I think the future is bright," Davie said. "Now, is it bright enough for Sept. 5 when we play Michigan? That's what time will tell, but I think we're going in the right direction. I think we have the potential to be pretty good."
That's similar to what Davie said last year when he promised that the Irish were going to open up their offense on the arm of Ron Powlus, prompting fears among Notre Dame faithful that he'd abandoned the traditional Irish power running game.
Instead, both went nowhere. After averaging 269.5 yards a game on the ground in 1996, the Irish limped to 174.9 yards a game last season, the first time since 1986 that Notre Dame didn't rank in the top 20 nationally for rushing.
The passing game didn't fare much better, and the Irish threw for fewer yards last season (185.3) than in 1996 (193.7) and 1995 (186.1) when the running game dominated.
So Davie has decided to resurrect the option, a key element to Notre Dame's 1988 national championship, its last. But Davie stresses the Irish won't run out of the wishbone or abandon the passing game they worked to develop last year.
Still, Davie doesn't have delusions that the option will resurrect Notre Dame's hopes for a national title, especially when he looks at what he believes are the four critical positions for any football team.
Quarterback — "We're inexperienced. We're talented there. But we're inexperienced."
Cornerback — "We lost both corners (Allen Rossum and Ivory Covington). ... That makes you nervous."
Defensive line — "We're young."
Despite all their problems, the Irish insist they feel no urgency to win.
Kicker — "We've got a kicker (Jim Sanson) coming back who missed three field goals against USC inside the 35-yard-line."
"I don't feel any pressure, and I don't think anyone on the team feels any pressure," Jackson said.
Try telling that to the alumni after a 7-6 season at a school where they joke 11-1 is a "losing" season.

Tim Couch set to throw Wildcats into higher level of bowl contention
Junior quarterback plans to lead Kentucky,hunt for Heisman Trophy
The Associated Press
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Growing up in the mountains of eastern Kentucky, Tim Couch worried he'd never get a chance to show the world what he could do on the football field.
"I always thought there were so many things that were going to hold me back," he said. "Coming from such a small place, I didn't think anyone could find me."
Couch since has learned that if you grow up to be 6 feet, 5 inches tall, with a rifle right arm and the poise that distinguishes movie heroes and true quarterbacks, scouts will find him no matter where he is.
The rest of the SEC learned Kentucky's quarterback could play last fall, when the sophomore led the nation in completions, threw for more yards than any other quarterback, dueled Tennessee's Peyton Manning in a shootout and led the Wildcats to their first win against Alabama in 75 years.
Peyton's place now is in the NFL, and fall 1998 is seen throughout Kentucky as Tim's time to lead the Wildcats to a bowl game and perhaps capture the Heisman trophy that eluded Manning.
"There's going to be a lot of pressure put on me to perform," Couch said. "I've got to come out and perform and give us a chance to win."
Couch has been the central figure in Kentucky football since 1996, when he announced he would stay in the state for college.
Growing up in Hyden, a town of 375 people in the Appalachians, Couch said there wasn't much to do other than wrestle with is brother Greg.
"There was a lot of closeness between them," said the boys' father, Elbert Couch, a transportation supervisor in Leslie County, Ky. "As close as two brothers can get."
Greg was quarterback at Leslie County High School and went on to Division I-AA power Eastern Kentucky University.
"It wasn't planned, but it happened just right," Elbert Couch said. "When Greg graduated (from high school), Tim graduated from eighth grade, so he came in and started as a freshman."
The younger brother rewrote the national high school record book, throwing for more than 12,000 yards and 133 touchdowns and
H
winning national player of the year honors as a senior.
Home games brought Friday-night crowds of more than 5,000 people to Hyden. Elbert Couch said he remembered people parking their cars near the field three hours before games.
"It was kind of understood that we were going to open the offense up, kind of build it around what I could do best if I came here," Couch said. "So when I came here, that's what I expected, and it didn't work out that way."
Although Tim Couch considered going to Tennessee, where he would have been red-shirted behind Manning, then-Kentucky coach Bill Curry won a fierce college-recuiting battle by promising to modify his onion attack for the young gun.
Couch was mainly on the bench during his freshman year and ended up attempting only 84 passes that season. Curry was fired for a 1-6 start and for mishandling his star recruit.
A 5-6 record last season under new coach Hal Mumme and his pass-intensive offense was only one game better than 1996, but Couch's emergence was the real story, as he completed 363 of 547 passes for 3,884 yards and 37 touchdowns. All but the last of those numbers were SEC records.
Each week brought new achievements: an 80-yard touchdown to Kloe Sanford in the opener against Louisville; a conference-record seven touchdown throws against Indiana; a 26-yard touchdown throw to Craig Yeast for the overtime game-winner against Alabama; an SEC-secure 41 completions in losses to Georgia and LSU; a school-record 476 yards passing in the season-end.
This year, expectations are sky-high — the Wildcats p; practice in T-shirts that read "Focus: 1:7-99," a reference to the date on which the y hope to play a bowl game.
ing showdown with Manning.
To earr the Heisman, Couch said, he would need to put up numbers similar to last year and lead his team to a major bowl. With the Wildcats facing four teams in The Associated Press' preseason Top 25 — including Florida, Tennessee and LSU on the road — such a scenario would require at least one road upset and close games in the other two matchups.
In other words, it's time for Couch to add the winning touch that characterized his boyhood idol. Joe Montana.
"He won all the big games, he was such a clutch performer when it came to crunch time, so he's just a great role model," Couch said.
While he prepares for his junior season, Couch also is keeping an eye on NFL rookies Manning, of the Indianapolis Colts, and Ryan Leaf, the Washington State quarterback now with the San Diego Chargers.
Couch admits to being torn between the examples of Manning, whose love affair with Tennessee brought him back for his senior season, and Leaf, who turned pro after leading the Cougars to the Pac-10 title.
“It’s just going to depend on where I’m at the end of the year,” he said. “I think what kind of season we have this year is really going to have a lot to do with it and if I feel I'm ready to go to the next level and compete. Now, I have every intention of coming back for that fourth year.”

UCLA quarterback leads quest for conference title

"I tried to take my focus to a different level," McNown recalled about a game that became a turning point in his career. "I think that was one of my hurdles in my junior year. After that, I was making quick decisions and the right decisions. I learned a calm intensity."
McNown had been tackled for a safety and had thrown two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown in UCLA's home opener against Tennessee last Sept. 6.
Heisman Trophy not McNown's primary concern
After that disastrous start, his erratic play suddenly stopped — and never returned. With McNown leading the way, the Bruins battled back from a 27-6 fourth-quarter deficit before the Volunteers escaped with a 30-24 victory.
LOS ANGELES — Many in the Rose Bowl crowd booed as Cade McNown and the UCLA Bruins left the field in the first quarter.
The Associated Press
During his team's winning streak, McNown completed 143 of 235 passes for 2,459 yards and 22 touchdowns with only four interceptions. He finished last season with a school-record 3,116 yards passing, and his pass efficiency rating of 168.6 was the 12th highest in NCAA history and set a Pac-10 record.

struggled in
That intensity helped UCLA win their final 10 games last year, and this season it has made McNown one of the leading candidates for the Heisman Trophy.
McNown is aware of the early Heisman hype but tries not to buy into it too much. He's more interested in trying to lead the Bruins, ranked seventh in The Associated Press preseason poll,
"You ask any player if they want to win an award, you'd want it to be that one," he said. "I'm honored to be mentioned as a candidate. But you have to put it off to the side and concentrate on the team."
his first two years at UCLA, when the Bruins had a combined record of 12-11 and he threw more interceptions than touchdown passes. Then came the game against Tennessee, when he passed for a career-high 400 yards. McNown outshined Peyton Manning, who threw for 341.
to a conference title.
"He became like possessed, he was incredible," UCLA coach Bob Toledo said. "He really got his game face on. I think that second half was the beginning of what happened the rest of the season. That's what got him, and us, over the hump.
The 6-foot-1, 214-pound left-hander, a starter in 31 straight games, has worked hard to prepare for his senior season, either running, throwing or lifting weights every day for months. That's no surprise to those who know him.
"He would go to any extreme, in terms of doing what he had to do, to succeed," wide receiver Danny Farme said. "He leads
UCLA
"After that game, I told him he was the guy, I believed in him, we needed to stick together, not point fingers. I think that helped his confidence."
McNown doesn't have the size or strength of Manning or Ryan Leaf, the two NFL rookie quarterbacks who were taken first and second in the draft. McNown
"He's not a prototypical quarterback,but he can do everything well and beat you in so many different ways."
Dave Norrie Former UCLA quarterback
succeeds with his football intelligence, hard work and heart. He also is a team leader, Toledo said.
"He's got great character, he doesn't do anything abusive. I never heard him say a swear word, not one," he said. "Nobody works harder than him. And he's tough — he's like a line-backer playing quarterback."
Former UCLA quarterback Dave Norrie, who spent five years as a member of the Bruins broadcast team and will start his third year on the Fox Sports Network as the analyst on the Pac-10 game of the week, calls McNown the toughest quarterback he's ever seen.
"He's not a prototypical quarterback, but he can do everything well and beat you in so many different ways," he said.
Even though McNown is not a classic drop-back, NFL-type quarterback, he should be successful as a pro and perhaps go as high as the late first round in the draft next spring, Norrie said.
"When I'm done here, all I can ask for is an opportunity," McNown said. "I think I'll be good, and I think I'll continue to get better."
"I can go out and throw the ball over 70 yards, I can throw the ball downfield. Being a good quarterback means moving the chains and putting the ball in the end zone. It's about results."
So far McNown has proven he can get those results.

Two high school football players dead after heat-related incidents
Temperatures at practices had reached 102 degrees
The Associated Press
WICHITA — Two high school football players collapsed and died after practices in sweltering weather at separate schools in neighboring south-central Kansas communities.
Robert Alexander Barrett, 17, collapsed Monday while walking to the locker room after the morning workout at Witcha Southeast High School, his mother said. He died Tuesday at Via Christi Regional Medical Center-St. Joseph Campus.
In Towanda, a 15-year-old sophomore collapsed after practice Monday at Circle High School, superintendent Dale Rawson said. The boy, whose name had not been released yesterday at his family's request, died Tuesday night at Wesley Medical Center in Wichita.
A hospital spokeswoman said yesterday the death was heat-related but would not give any other details.
Monday was the first day of practice at both schools. The temperature for the Wichita
are reached for degrees monthly:
Circle has suspended all football practices indefinitely, district spokeswoman Eliese Holt said.
area reached 102 degrees Monday.
Barrett, who went by Alex and was called "Chief" by his friends, had played in the band his first three years at Wichita Southeast High School, but his mother said football was something he always wanted to do.
"We talked about it and talked about it." said Barrett's mother, Frances. "He just knew he'd be good at it. Alex dedicates himself, and he does not back out of it."
A cause of death has not been determined. On Monday at 7:45 a.m., Alex — a 5-foot-10, 278-pound aspiring offensive lineman — joined his teammates in a helmet, T-shirt and shorts. State athletic rules prohibit use of pads during the first three days of practice. During the workout, Alex told coach Dan Johnson he did not feel well, his mother said.
Johnson, she said, told him to get some water, and Alex continued to practice. Some time after 10 a.m., she said, as he walked to the locker room, Alex's legs wobbled and he collapsed.
At the hospital, Alex was joined by Southeast's coaches and athletic director as well as school board President Chip Gramke, Southeast Principal Barbara Mohne and Superintendent Winston Brooks.
"I first and foremost feel the deepest sympathy for the family, but I also share a deep amount of sympathy for the football staff and his teammates."
Winston Brooks
Superintendent
Monday evening, his kidneys were shutting down and his heart had to be restarted. Family members said he died about 10 a.m. Tuesday.
"I first and foremost feel the deepest sympathy for the family, but I also share a deep amount of sympathy for the football staff and his teammates." Brooks said.
School board members defended Johnson. Gramke said the coach gave players plenty of water breaks and did not allow them to work-out unless they had a physical.
"You can drive as safely as you can, but sometimes there is going to be an accident," Gramke said.

The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, D.C.
Retaliating 13 days after the deadly embassy bombings in East Africa, U.S. forces launched cruise missile strikes against alleged terrorist camps in Afghanistan and a chemical plant in Sudan yesterday.
"Our target was terror," President Clinton declared.
In an address from the Oval Office just three days after he spoke to the nation about the Monica Lewinsky investigation, Clinton said he acted to counter an immediate threat of more terrorist acts.
He said U.S. intelligence indicated that a gathering of key terrorist leaders was planned at the site in Afghanistan yesterday.

Clinton and defense officials said the targets attacked were linked to Osama bin Laden, a Saudi millionaire whom U.S. officials call a major sponsor of terrorism.
National security adviser Samuel Berger said U.S. officials were unsure of bin Laden's fate after the air strikes.
Bin Laden was unharmed, said a representative for Afghanistan's Taliban rulers.
Reflecting worry about possible retaliation against targets inside the United States, Berger told reporters the FBI had issued an alert to all local law enforcement officials about the heightened degree of concern they should have for ter-

"We have no idea of bin Laden's whereabouts or whether he was in the camp at that time," Berger said.

U. S. retaliation bombings in Afghanistan and Sudan have left students and professors wondering about the reasons for and success of these actions.
By Melody Ard and Sarah Hale
Kansas staff writers
U. S. military forces bombed terrorist structures in Afghanistan and Sudan yesterday afternoon after linking them to Osama bin Laden, a Saudi millionaire who U.S. officials think is responsible for the bombings of the U.S. embassies Aug. 7.
in Africa
Olathe senior Farhad Sayed, originally from Kabul, Afghanistan, lived 94 miles away from the bombing site. He has lived in the United States for 13 years. Sayed has at least one relative still living in Afghanistan, although he has had no contact with that relative because of the country's civil war.
and people are having a civil war. Why do we have to pay for someone else's wrongs? There are a lot of innocent people there."
"The guy they want is from an Arab country, so I don't know why they have to attack Afghanistan," he said. "It's a very poor country, people don't have a lot to eat
Political science professor Philip Schrodt and associate professor Deborah Gerner questioned the impact the bombings would have on the terrorist groune
There are a lot of innocent people said yesterday's targets were a terrorist base in Afghanistan and a chemical-weapons factory in Sudan. The United States thought other attacks by the terrorist groups were likely.
"It's a very tough neighborhood, the Middle East, there's a lot of wars," Harasani said. "If there is concrete evidence against someone then they should be tried and justice should be served."
Wail Harasani, a graduate student from Saudi Arabia, said that the situation scared him, but that he remembered similar experiences in his native country.
"The critical issue is whether or not these are specific targets or if we are simply bombing general areas where we think these guys 'hang out,'" Schrodt said. "I think their reaction will depend entirely on whether or not we destroyed weapons or just hit the general area."
Gerner said she thought the initial terrorist acts against the embassies were carried out in an unusual manner because no one took authoritative responsibility and there were no obvious political goals.
"I think the culprits may have been trying to make the United States feel vulnerable and powerless and a message that the United States cannot continue to view themselves as the world's only superpower." Gerner said.
KU students had varied reactions to the bombings.
"If we continue to let people bomb our embassies, then that's like bombing the U.S.," said Jennifer Linden, Kansas City, Mo., junior. "We have to respond, even if it is militarily. Some sort of response is necessary in that situation. That's why we train our military to protect our country and allies."
Susan Dunn, Conway, Ark., graduate student, said the military actions following President Clinton's personal problems reminded her of a Hollywood movie.
"Have you seen seen the movie Wag the Dog?" she said. "I don't think innocent people should die just so Clinton looks like he is taking decisive action. It just looks strange, and this upsets me."
In the movie, the president's advisors create a fake war in order to distract the country from a sex scandal involving the president.

The fitness and weight area of Robinson Center has new evening hours for the fall semester.

As of yesterday, the fitness and weight area is open for general student use from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday, in contrast to the previous opening time of 5 p.m.
According to Mariann Graham, Robinson facilities secretary, the change was made to accommodate an afternoon class of physical conditioning.
The fitness and weight area also has early-morning and weekend hours, in addition to extended hours on Friday. The natatorium and other areas of Robinson have separate hours of operation.
Graham said students should be aware that there was a mistake on some printed cards being distributed with the center's hours. Because of a class cancellation, the fitness and weight area is open from 6 to 8 a.m., Monday through Friday. The cards indicate the morning hours only apply on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

Stained-glass window repairs begin at Smith Hali
Smith Hall's burning bush stained-glass window will be partially restored tonight after three vandalism attacks since April caused its removal.
Three of the 16 stained-glass panels and a layer of glass designed to protect the stained glass were shattered by rocks, said Sgt. Troy Mailen of the KU Public Safety office.
Marian O'Dwyer, of the Phoenix Gallery,
919 Massachusetts St., said that one of
the destroyed panels had been repaired
and the remaining two should be restored
within two weeks.
Now, a stronger outer window will replace the one used before to help protect the stained-glass window from shattering again.
"This type of glass is the same one used in cars' windshields," O'Dwyer said. "It has been very expensive to restore the window. It has cost over $10,000 for its renovation, repair and the new outlet."
Mailen said there still were no suspects, but an award of $500 had been offered by the Friends of the Department of Religion Studies to anyone who provides important information about the vandalism acts.

E. coli strain traced to Florida beef supplier
ATLANTA — The same strain of E. coli bacteria that sickened more than two dozen children who had visited a water park was found in beef recalled by a Florida supplier.
"What this means to us is that this beef could have been the way the organism that caused the outbreak got into Georgia, although we'll never know for sure," Georgia's top epidemiologist, Dr. Paul Blake, said Wednesday.
The outbreak in June apparently was caused when a youngster in diapers had an accident in the kiddie pool at a water park in suburban Atlanta. A 2-year-old died after experiencing kidney failure and other complications.
In May, Bauer Meat Co. recalled 37,500 pounds of patties supplied to Georgia, North Carolina and overseas military installations after a boy became ill from a school cafeteria hamburger. On Aug.13, Max Bauer, the owner of Bauer Meat, com mitted suicide a day after his Ocala, Fl., processing plant was shutdown by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Nancy Bartel, a USDA spokeswoman,
wouldn't comment on whether Bauer had been informed of the water park connection.
Dutch soldiers accused in Bosnian massacre
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands — Holland is haunted anew by the ghosts of a Bosnian massacre.
The Serbs are accused of killing thousands of Muslims in July 1995 and bulldozing their bodies into shallow mass graves in the northeastern Bosnia enclave of Srebrenica.
but it is the Dutch who are agonizing over the massacre.
The Netherlands is scandalized by new allegations that its peacekeeping soldiers may have killed Muslims.
The Defense Ministry is investigating reports that Dutch U.N. peacekeepers assigned to protect Srebrenica drove a tank into a crowd of Muslims, mowing down an killing as many as 30 people. The military is also probing allegations that it deliberately destroyed film showing its troops helping Serbs separate Muslim men from women for deportation
Dutch angst over the affair began early in 1996, when the world realized that an area the U.N. designated as a "safe haven" for Muslims had actually become a killing field.
Criticized by the international community for doing little to stop the Serb slaughter, Dutch commanders said their 300 troops were outnumbered and outmusled by the Serbs and restrained by a weak U.N. mandate forbidding them from combat.
At first, those denials were enough. But then four Dutch medics claimed they ordered not to treat wounded Muslim civilians. The military denied it.
"It's a horrible story," said former Defense Minister Joris Voorhoeve, who also is implicated in the affair. "I don't think we'll ever fully cope with it."
Flooded Songhua River threatens Chinese city
HARBIN, China — Rivers raging from
weeks of rain engulfed parts of China's largest oil field yesterday and smothered farming villages outside a key industrial center.
Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilans rushed sandbags to plug leaky dikes — already piled six feet high with the dirt-filled sacks — to keep the Songhua River from flooding Harbin, capital of northeast Heilongjiang province.
On the north bank, opposite the city, the river swallowed dikes and covered fields, leaving only village roofs poking through the waters. Families took shelter in trains parked on sidings atop raised railbeds. One couple, along with their two children and four cows, camped on a garbage heap between the rail beds.
"The lives of a family of four have been saved. All the rest has been tossed away," said farmer Sun Shifa, crouching by a smoldering fire on the garbage-strewn mound.
Surging waters in the Northeast have compounded the misery of China's worst flood season in at least 40 years. Much of the Yangtze River in central China has stood above the emergency stage for three weeks or longer, waterlogging and weakening levees.
The Yangtze's sixth flood crest since early July bore down on Wuhan, a major industrial hub with 7 million people. Flooding has killed more than 2,000 people nationwide, left millions homeless and caused $24 billion in economic losses. Those tallies were expected to increase

Speech on Civil War highlights the work of African Americans
By Steph Brewer
By Steph Brower
Kansan staff writer
The Kansas Humanities Council invited the public to the Eldridge Hotel last night as a reminder that history was made in Lawrence more than a century ago.
"Just think, in this hotel, 135 years ago tonight, this town was getting ready for the worst disaster it would ever face," said Robert Phillips. Eldridge owner.
Phillips was referring to Quantrill's Raid, a bloody attack that earned the Lawrence its place in the history books.
place in the history books. However, Lawrence wasn't just famous for its conflicts - it also played an important role in the lives of African Americans during the Civil War.
Assistant history professor Eric Love and Spencer Research Library archivist Deborah Dandridge spoke to a small crowd about Lawrence's role in the Civil War era and the African-American experience in the United States at the time. The speech was one of a week-long series called "Civil War on the Western Frontier." History professor Phillip Paludan will speak about Lincoln and the Civil War at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Eldridge.
Last night's talk focused on two important African Americans of the time, Henry Highland Garnet and Maria Stewart. Garnet had escaped from slavery as a child while Stewart had spent her early years as a servant. Both were prominent abolitionists who challenged the oppression forced upon them by the government and citizens of America.
Although both Garnet and Stewart lived on the East coast, their vision was to head out West. Kansas, having been established as a free state, where slavery was not allowed, was especially significant, Love said.
"She (Stewart) was the nation's first native-born woman, black or white... to deliver a speech in public before men and women," Dandrige said.
was especially true. "Freedom and self-determination ultimately meant that the humanity of the African people had to be recognized," he said.
The free status of Kansas was not the only attractive quality. African Americans formed communities in places like Lawrence, starting churches and small schools.
Dandridge described slavery as barbaric and said that the psychological as well as the physical impact was devastating.
"They (Africans) were snatched from their home, taken from their villages, taken from their wives and children," Love said.
For those that escaped, Lawrence provided a haven.
"This was the place, this was the hope...not only for freedom but for liberty, equality," Dandridge said.

Professors receive pleasant surprise
By Mariana Palva
Kansan staff writer
When a group of people who were not on Fred Rodriguez's multicultural education class roster interrupted his first lecture of the semester, Rodriguez could only smile.
The classroom interruption means an extra $5,000 in his next paycheck.
Rodriguez was one of 20 professors chosen for this year's William, T Kemper Fellowship for Teaching Excellence.
EXIT
A seven-member selection committee were responsible for choosing professors who have been excellent teachers at the University.
The group includes students, faculty and KU alumni.
"There is a lot of pressure," said Rodriguez. "What a day."
The bearers of the good news was a group called "surprise patrol," which included Chancellor Robert Hemenway; Provost David Shulenburger; Jim Martin, president of the University of Kansas Endowment Association; and Mark Gonzales, community president of Commerce Bank in Lawrence.
Eight professors were given awards yesterday, and the "surprise patrol" will give 12 more awards through Saturday.
"I know you all enrolled in this

class because you knew that Fred Rodriguez is one of the absolute best teachers in the University," Hemenway said.
Rodriguez said although he was aware of the award, receiving it came as a surprise.
"It is nice to be honored because people that have won the last two years were really good teachers and being in the group is very nice," Rodriguez said.
Becky Weiler, Lewistown, Mont., junior said she chose Rodriguez's class because her friends had made good comments about him.
"My classmates and I were talking before class about how great of a teacher he was," Weiler said.
"Now, this award reaffirms it. I am kind of excited about it, and I have a lot of expectations because he is a great model to follow."

Students to get shot at purchasing Chiefs tickets
By Angola Johnson Kansan staff writer
For all the crazed Kansas City Chiefs fans who have never been able to get your hands on tickets, this could be a golden opportunity.
Beginning at 8 a.m. tomorrow,
Student Union Activities will sell
320 Chiefs football tickets at the
SUA box office in the Kansas Union.
Mary Smith, SUA box-office supervisor, said that this offer was a good service for students because Chiefs tickets were so hard to find.
"This is the fourth-consecutive year we've done this, and there's always a long line," Smith said. "We've had a lot of people calling and inquiring about it."
Kielyn Scott, SUA president, said
that unlike most season-ticket holders, KU students would get first priority for the tickets.
Two tickets cost $48, and students have a choice of two tickets to one home game or a ticket for two different games.
"SUA doesn't make money from selling these tickets," Smith said. "Sometimes we break even, and we've even lost money, but it's still worth it, because it's a service for the students. Scalpers at Arrowhead can charge a lot more."
Forty tickets to each of the Chiefs'
home games will be available. Students must show their KUID at the time of purchase.
Scott said that she expected the tickets to sell out by tomorrow afternoon.
"In previous years, people have started getting in line at 5:30 in the morning," Scott said. "The building isn't even open yet, and there are all these people outside with their sleeping hues."
Smith said that the tickets to the Chiefs' game against the Denver Broncos probably would be the first to go.
"They're another great team; it's a great rivalry," Smith said. "Also, the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers is the Monday Night Football on ABC. It's a chance to get on TV, so they'll be quick to go."
Chiefs home schedule
Sept. 6 — Oakland Raiders at 7:20 p.m.
Sept. 20 —San Diego Chargers at noon

Students lose cool in Ellsworth Hall
Pipe leak leaves residents sweltering from summer heat
By Sarah Halo
Kansas staff writer
Kansan staff writer
Students living in residence halls know about the pipes that hang from the ceiling and get in the way.
Residents hang their bikes from the pipes or jump up and grab the pipes, causing them to weaken.
A pipe leak first discovered Monday in Ellsworth Hall may have been caused by such rough behavior, but it was definitely affected by the extreme heat, said Ken Stoner, director of student housing.
With cold water running through the black, iron pipes and hot temperatures outside, sweat beads developed between the pipes and the insulation. When air got in, rust formed on the pipes, causing them to leak.
Ellsworth's 35-year-old pipes run continuously through the building without any valves or cutoffs. Because of this, the entire building's air conditioning system needed to be turned off Wednesday so maintenance could fix the problem.
For more than seven hours,
Ellsworth residents braved the
heat outside and inside. From
9 a.m. to about 4:30 p.m., the
hall had no air conditioning.
"It was awful," said Jen Dziuzenis, Olathe freshman and Ellsworth front-desk employee. "All I wanted to do was just lay in bed and not move."
Stoner said that no students complained to the housing department, but Dziuenziis said she received complaints at Ellsworth's front desk.
"People called non-stop," she said. "They weren't really that mad. They just kept asking
What happened?
A pipe leak at Ellsworth Hall caused air conditioning to be shut off for about seven hours Wednesday.
- Maintenance workers said the leak most likely was caused by the hot temperatures outside and the pressure the heat put on the cold water in the pipes.
when the air was going to be back on."
The pipe leak in room 730 put pressure on the pipes, causing another leak that affected rooms 731 and 732.
The residents of the three rooms were asked to leave while the pipes were replaced.
Replacing the pipes was not an expensive process, although it required two plumbers, said Phil Garito, associate director for student housing. Precautions have been taken to avoid the same type of problems in Templin Hall and Lewis Hall, which is being renovated.
When Templin was renovated, copper pipes replaced the iron pipes and valves were added throughout the building. This will allow maintenance to shut off the air conditioner, dry out the pipes and patch them without affecting the entire building.
"To prevent this in the future, all the piping will be copper," Garito said. "So unless there is a freeze, the pipes cannot rust or corrode."
It is difficult to know when pipes will leak or break, but if any liquid is noticed, it should be reported to maintenance.
Garito had urged students not to put too much stress on the pipes. He said that pipe breaks don't happen that often, but they have damaged residents' rooms in the past.
"I wish there was a way of predicting (pipe breaks), but until it happens, you can't do anything about it but be careful," Garito said.

Editorials
President should stick around
At the end of a long, hot summer, America stands at a crossroad. Conservatives and the media continually assert that the nation is on the brink of constitutional disaster.
Yet, the economy remains in good health, politicians are bickering about how to spend our first budget surplus in years, and we have a remarkably popular commander-in-chief. In fact, a CBS/New York Times poll taken after President Clinton's acknowledgment of "an inappropriate relationship" with Monica Lewinsky found that 71 percent of those surveyed approved of his job performance.
Although the president's actions were ethically bankrupt and morally dubious, they do not warrant him leaving office. So far, he has been convicted of no crime. Certainly he is not guilty of the "high crime and misdemeanors" that are constitutional grounds for impeachment.
Clinton may have his faults, but hasn't committed a crime against the Constitution.
Having a sexual dalliance with an intern half his age — or anyone else other than his wife, for that matter — may be morally reprerehensible, but it does not constitute a systematic, pervasive attempt to abuse governmental powers for personal gain.
began with his handling of Vietnam and snowballed during the Nixon Administration. In the post-Watergate, post-Iran Contra era, any notion that government is honorable is simply laughable.
President Clinton cannot even be blamed for the current disrepute of his office. Lyndon Johnson sounded the first death knell for complete public trust in government more than 30 years ago. Cynicism about public policy
Kenneth Starr's personal, mean-spirited investigation of the president's personal life should end here and now. He will find no more than what the American public has known since 1992: Bill Clinton is slick. He's a consumate politician; "slick" is his job.
Remember, adultery is not forbidden by the Constitution of the United States. At this point, impeachment is indefensible. Our democratic republic is not going to topple because of presidential indiscretions. There is no crisis. The nation should refuse to go rushing for an umbrella just because Ken Starr said the sky is falling.
Jennifer Roush for the editorial board
Clinton should honor position, resign
president Clinton's false statements concerning his relationship with Monica Lewinsky have misled the public and may constitute perjury. Rather than possibly dragging this country through tedious and agonizing impeachment proceedings, Clinton should resign from the presidency.
During a deposition in the Paula Jones sexual harassment case, Clinton denied ever having a sexual relationship with Lewinsky. In January, Lewinsky confident Linda Tripp went public with alleged evidence that an affair did occur. Days later, the president again denied any "improper relationship" with the former White House intern.
Bringing the saga to a historic twist, Clinton finally admitted Monday night after seven months and a $40 million investigation that such a relationship had existed.
Clinton has deliberately misled the country and should resign.
Despite all the bad press, Clinton's public approval ratings soar over those of Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr. Polls show most U.S. citizens blame Starr for the length and cost of the investigation.
The president obviously has misled all Americans, including his family, and has intentionally stifled the truth-seeking process. Though it is understandable that a figure as widely recognized as Clinton would want to protect his image, nobody is above the law.
jury. He tarnished the honor of the presidency, an institution sacred to the spirit of this nation and vital to its success.
Even if the grand jury concludes he did not perjure himself, Clinton committed a crime that cannot be punished by any
Even the circumstances of the relationship alone are grounds for his resignation. For example, if a professor was known to have had a sexual relationship with his or her student, that professor could be terminated because it is simply unacceptable within an educational environment. Similarly, we cannot tolerate sexual misbehavior between the president of the United States and another government worker.
Aside from the fiscal aspect, however, the real cost is the public's increased disillusionment with the political process.
Our nation needs trustworthy and honest leadership, and Clinton has shown he cannot fill that role.

Perspective
W When character became Bill Clinton's main campaign concern in 1992. Americans generally shrouded off the issue, preferring to gawk
Americans have bowed to Clinton's low standard

P.
and his Wild West show should offend everyone. Hide the women and children, and defend the county's dignity, or else concede what we might know already: Money is all we care about.
Bill Clinton is an abnormally smart man. His genius should be prosecutable because it has allowed him to wriggle out of numerous Texas-size legal land mines. He is simultaneously one of the most contemptible and forgiven figures in modern political history.
Can all these said allegations be proven? Maybe not, but no reasonable person can say they smell only roses from this sewer. To believe Bill Clinton's innocence in these scandals is to be either woefully ignorant of the facts or as duplicitous as our chief executive is.
Throughout Clinton's Houdini like presidency, the same people continue to ignore the inescapable: They knowingly have bought tickets to a presidential carnival of impropriety. As exciting as this death-defying spectacle may be, Bill
I am more openly disappointed and frustrated by the standards of the American people than the president's antics. I guess that scruples and decency matter little when the economy is as bullish as, well, Bill Clinton. The inverse relationship between the stock market and standards of taste and sincerity we hold elected officials to is understandable but not defendable.
it may almost foot against the blow.
It may be that people are afraid to criticize the president as "knock on wood" insurance for the present economy. Money may not be the root of all evil, but it is making evil a lot harder to spot for many Americans.
Lest one would confuse my argument as moral grandstanding disguising political rivalry, I consider myself rather politically liberal, and I applaud Clinton's accomplishments. However, I owe no sympathy or loyalty to an adult whose behavior allegedly rages from the bacchanalian to the illegal. Nor can anyone allow economic prosperity to blind their sight or massage their discomfort of these matters without being accountable as well.
Makes a guy almost root against the Dow.
Politics ultimately suffers from the wink and nod attitude employed by Clinton and his constituents. Bill Clinton is not the first to tarnish the presidency, but he may be the reason that we forever disregard the president as a distinguished figure worthy of respect.
Through it all, Clinton continues to receive astronomical approval ratings from those unperturbed by this White House Pinocchio, even after a nationally televised confession.
Really, fellow leaders of America, this is not complex moral stuff. No philosophical proofs are needed to demonstrate the sorry ethical state of the White House. Does Clinton's flaunting of campaign finance laws ring a bell? How about a suspicious technology transfer to China, abuse of the FBI, Whitewater, Travelgate and subordination of perjury among other shady dealings — in addition to Bill's weak zipper.
I'm no puritan, nor do I want to know all the smarmy details of a politician's life but call me a moral windbag; I actually want to "approve" of my president, not just the unemployment rate. The bigger problem is that we this coming and chose to ignore it both in '92 and '96. There has been a dirty stream of serious allegation, innuendo, impropriety and cover-up associated directly with this administration.
The present scandals may become so common and accepted that we can openly vote for a "game show president:" a telegenic spokesman who looks like a vacuous ninny, and it doesn't matter, because all he or she has to do is grin while handing out the prizes.
George Will said that a moral turpitude clause is implicit in the Constitution. If you do something outrageous, like oh say... have sex with a subordinate less than half your age while your supposed life mate is one floor above you, then we as a nation have the right to call you on it.
Regardless of how this scandal turns out,

Slick tricks don't hide president's true character

naughtily stained dress and the cooperation of its untidy owner shifted the winds of blame. Clinton pathetically tried to huff and puff in the other direction Monday night by blaming Ken Starr for an investigation that had "gone on too long, cost too much, and hurt too many innocent people."
In the weeks leading up to Monday's testimony, discovery of physical evidence in the form of a
But no longer is the quiet, methodical independent counsel savaged by Clinton's army of spinsters, each of whom has been left clinging mightily to the same yellowing TV cue card exclaiming: "It's all about sex! Who cares?" Even the president politely has asked all of us to "turn away" and forget about the kind of man leading our country. Each utterance of the line is paired with the hope that it will deaden the dissecting thoughts of people on the other end — thoughts that, if developed, would render such a simplistic defense impotent.
suspicion recently b, ongoing crusade to find the entity responsible for her husband's problems. It now appears simpler. Clinton was solely responsible for his sexual dalliances with 21-year-old Monica Lewinsky and subsequent lies about the affair.
First, it carelessly dismisses that the "sex" involved the president of the United States cheating on his wife, in the White House, with a woman less than half his age. A man who relents so easily to his darker impulses is not a man of honor. Human experience tells us that the dishonorable cannot deception contained to one area of their lives.

Opinion polls have led the nation between elections for the last six years because of uncooperative governance and partisanship caused by the deceit emanating from the White House. (Senator Bob Kerry, a fellow Democrat, has called Clinton an "unusually good liar.") Congress has been too intimidated to even deal with the president. Past episodes of co-opted issues and other politically motivated maneuvers have left them afraid to work with the president. The result has been a dangerously wasted presidency.
An initiative on race relations has fallen through, entitlements cannot be reformed even in a time of budgetary plenty, and it seems as if Clinton's favorite political tool, "the children," cannot even watch or read the news on account of its raciness — much less receive a good education.
America should be thankful that no major crisis has occurred on Clinton's watch. His showmanship and polling skill would prove useless to a nation in need of weightier virtues like courage and honesty.
"Who cares?" the Clintononites drone. "The American people want this behind them!" The people's indifference to the scandal can be safely attributed to their current good fortunes — an equally solid majority do not respect him personally.
Perjury committed by the president is a serious offense—even when it is about sex. He is the one who has sworn to uphold and faithfully execute the laws of the United States. Breaking that pledge not only undermines the rule of law, which guarantees our freedom, but also reveals the smallness of his character.
"truthfully" to the grand jury.
His lawerly tricks against the American people are no less troubling. Apparently, the "improper" relationship, which he denied on PBS, is not the same as the "inappropriate" relationship he admitted.
It is time for all of us to come to this somber conclusion: character does matter.

Buses to add bike racks give student cyclists a lift
By Seth Jones
Kansan staff writer
Students who find themselves riding their bikes to the nearest bus stop just got some support from KU on Wheels.
KU on Wheels has acquired bike racks for its buses.
By having bike racks, students who do not live near a bus stop could ride their bikes to where the bus would pick them up. It would also be helpful when a student has ridden his or her bike to campus and it begins to rain or snow. The new racks will allow those students to remain dry on the trip home.
The 23rd and Naimshi route is the only bus equipped with the racks. Nicole Skalla, transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels, said that the long-term goal was for all of the buses to be equipped but that it would take some time.
"It will be about two weeks before the racks will be attached to the buses," she said. "These racks are already seeing a lot of use in other
cities, like Boulder and Seattle, so we hope these catch on and see the same success."
One of the racks will be on display on the fifth floor of the Kansas Union for students to see how to mount their bikes on the racks.
"Use of the racks is free, but first we want to show students how to properly install their bikes." Skalla said.
After learning how to mount a bike and signing a waiver, students will receive a pass to show bus drivers, Skalla said.
"There is a lock on these racks, but if the bike is not properly locked on to the bus, it could fall off," she said. "We don't want students trying to hold KU on Wheels or the University of Kansas liable."
Skalla said students also would receive small reflective stickers on which to write their name and phone number.
"In some places where these racks are in use, people forget that they put their bikes on the rack and then lose their bike," she said. "This way, we can call the students if they forget to
get their bike."
The new racks cost about $3,000.
The price includes five racks and the cost of advertising the new system.
One rack, which can hold two bikes, will be attached to each of the 23rd and Naismith buses.
Scott Kaiser, student senate vice president, said the proposal originated last year.
"This idea has been on the front burner the entire time, it's just taken a while to get the racks and find someone who would install them," he said. "Now that we have them, it's another way we can extend our services."
New Route
KU on Wheels has changed one of its routes to make it more convenient for off campus dwellers.
The West Sixth route now will make stops at Highpoint Apartment Complex, Sixth and Iowa streets.
"The bus has always driven past Highpointe, but we needed to make an adjustment for the number of students who now live at Highpointe," Kaiser said.
StudEx executive secretary fired
Kansan staff writer
By Seth Jones
This summer, Student Body President Kevin Yoder removed Amy Brockerd from the Student Senate Executive Secretary office for being "extremely negligent in her duties."
In a letter dated July 15 and addressed to Julie Numrich, chairwoman of the Student Executive Committee, and all the members of the Student Executive Committee, Yoder explained the reasons for his decision. Yoder said that Broockerd missed two-thirds of the Student Executive Committee meetings, did not provide minutes for two of the Student Executive Committee meetings and one Joint Senate meeting and also did not serve
office hours for a month.
The letter also said that repeated attempts to contact Broockerd failed.
Yoder said he would not comment on the removal because it was a personnel matter.
1234567890
David Ambler,
Broockerd: Was removed from senate position
vice chancellor of student affairs, said he had become aware of the firing when he noticed that Senate was looking for a new executive secretary. He also said that he supported Yoder's decision and handling of the matter.
"I suspect Kevin is trying to be respectful to the people involved," Ambler said.
Broocker did not return telephone calls seeking comment.
For the remainder of the summer,
Kristen Hall, Austin, Tex., senior,
took over as the interim executive
secretary. Since then, Senate has
selected Jen Bonicelli, Mission
Woods junior, as a permanent
replacement.
The main job of the executive secretary is to take minutes at the meetings, type the minutes and make copies to be given to the members of Senate. The job also has smaller duties, such as keeping a scrapbook of Student Senate articles.
The position requires 20 hours a week and pays $77 a week.

U.S. retaliates after explosions in Africa
Continued from page 1A
roristattacks.
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said that yesterday's air strikes were part of an ongoing fight against terrorism and that Americans should not think it would be won easily.
The U.S. strikes involved Tomahawk cruise missiles fired by Navy ships in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea, said administration and congressional officials. Between 75 and 100 cruise missiles were fired. No aircraft were involved and there were no U.S. casualties, said defense officials.
Acting on intelligence information that Clinton said pinpointed one of the most active terrorist bases in the world and an industrial plant that made agents for chemical weapons, Clinton said he ordered the attacks not only in response to the Aug. 7 bombings of two American embassies but also to preempt more planned terrorist attacks on Americans.
He ordered the strikes based on the unanimous recommendation of his national security team.
"The countries that persistently host terrorism have no right to be safe havens," said Clinton, who interrupted a Martha's Vineyard vacation in Massachusetts to rush back to Washington. "No religion condones the murder of innocent men, women and children."
Clinton did not say whether the mission had succeeded.
Defense Secretary William Cohen said he had no information about bin Laden's whereabouts and said the purpose of the attack was not to kill him.
The nation's top intelligence officials have warned that the prospect of retaliation against Americans is very high, said a senior intelligence official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The attacks were carried out beginning at 1:30 p.m. EDT and took less than an hour, Cohen said.
Cohen said U.S. forces alone were involved in the attacks on what he called a terrorist training and support compound in Afghanistan, 94 miles south of Kabul near the Pakistani border, and on the Shifa Pharmaceutical Plant in Khartoum, suspected of making agents for chemical weapons.
Lawmakers from both parties rallied behind Clinton's decision. House
Rep. Ike Skelton, ranking Democrat on the House National Security Committee, said, "We're quite sure the attacks in Africa came from these two places, and we had to strike back."
Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., called it the right thing to do.
In a confluence of dramatic moments, Clinton announced the U.S. bombings on the same day that former White House intern Monica Lewinsky testified for a second time to the grand jury investigating her relationship with Clinton.
In Washington, Sen. Arlen Specter, RPa., suggested that Clinton may have acted precipitously in an attempt to focus attention away from his own personal problems.
Asked about that possibility, Cohen said, "The only motivation driving this action today was our absolute obligation to protect the American people from terrorist activities."
A senior U.S. intelligence official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the Sudanese target, the Shifa Pharmaceutical plant, was used to make precursor chemicals for the deadly nerve gas VX. The official said there was no evidence that the plant actually made commercial pharmaceuticals.
The sites in eastern Afghanistan are all part of what the intelligence official called the largest and most extensive Sunni Muslim terrorist university in the world.
The timing of the strikes — 7:30 p.m. in Sudan and 10 p.m. in Afghanistan — was chosen for three key reasons, the official said: The United States had information pointing to impending terrorist attacks coordinated by bin Laden's organization; there would be a reduced risk of civilian casualties in Khartoum at that time of night; and U.S. intelligence was informed there would be more terrorists at the training camp in Afghanistan than usual. The training camp, spread over six sites, was said to include as many as 600 terrorists and trainers.
In Khartoum, Interior Minister Abdul Rahim Mohammed Hussein said two American planes dropped about five bombs in three or four attacks on a privately owned factory in an industrial part of the capital.
"It is not chemical weapons. It is a factory for medical drugs," he said.
Survivors mourn after embassy bombings
The Associated Press
NAIROBI, Kenya—The FBI chief toured the wreckage of the U.S. Embassy in Tanzania yesterday, just hours before President Clinton ordered strikes against suspected terrorist camp sites in Sudan and Afghanistan that he linked to the embassy bombings.
Kenyans, meanwhile, prayed at a memorial service to heal the scars inflicted by terrorists who killed 257 people in twin attacks Aug. 7 on U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. More than 5,500 people were injured, mostly Kenyans.
Cunton and defense officials said the facilities attacked yesterday by the United States had ties to Osama bin Laden, a Saudi millionaire whom U.S. officials call a major sponsor of terrorism.
An Egyptian Islamic militant linked to bin Laden has been identified by one suspect as having planned the Aug. 7 bombings, a senior Pakistani official said yesterday on condition of anonymity.
Saleh was in charged of bin Laden's terrorist group in Africa, the Pakistani source said. The Saudi millionaire has called on Muslims to attack American installations.
Odeh also said the main conspirators left before the explosions, leaving behind hired Kenyans and Tanzanians to carry out the car bombings, the source said.
Police in Cairo said Saleh's name was not known to them.
Kenyan and Tanzanian police could not confirm the reports.
A reporter in Pakistan, Rahimulah Yusufzai, said he received a call from a spokesman for bin Laden yesterday night.
"I have nothing to do with the bombing of American embassies in Africa, but I urge the Muslims all over the world to continue their jihad against the Americans and Jews," Representative Ayman Al-Zawahiri told Journalist Rahimulah Yusufai on behalf of bin Laden.
The call came before the American strikes against bin Laden's strongholds in Sudan and Afghanistan.
FBI Director Louis Freeh met with FBI agents and local officials in Dar es Salaam yesterday before traveling to Nairobi. He said no conclusions have been made about the suspects being held.
Kenyan police said last week they were holding about five people in their investigation.

Moi pledged to work closely with U.S. officials to track down the terrorists. "The government will not allow Kenyans to be victims of these inhumane criminals," he said, adding that a memorial should be built near the bombing site.

Terrorist bin Laden marked by determination
The Associated Press
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — It wasn't unusual to find wealthy Saudis on the periphery of the Afghan struggle against the Soviet Union. They'd arrive in Afghan refugee camps, open briefcases full of cash and distribute dollars to war widows and wounded veterans.
Osama bin Laden was unusual. The son of a Saudi construction magnate went into the rugged Afghan mountains to fight, gaining a reputation for bravery and determination. He used his millions to buy bulldozers to gouge guerrilla trails in the heart of Afghanistan and to bring in, by his count, thousands of Egyptians, Lebanese, Turks and others to join their Afghan Muslim brothers in the struggle against an ideology that spurned religion.
Nine years after the Soviets retreated from Afghanistan, terrorism experts say bin Laden is using his millions to finance
attacks against the United States such as, perhaps, the Aug. 7 bombings of U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, that killed 257 people. Veterans of the pan-Muslim army bin Laden raised to fight the Soviets remain loyal to the figure some call a hero.

bin Laden: Experts say he finances terror attacks
the United States, bin Laden were on the same side against the now-collapsed Soviet state. Bin Laden made no secret that he saw secular, powerful Washington as much an infidel as Moscow. His first priority was Moscow, which invaded Afghanistan to prop up a communist government in December 1979.
Ine new outsiders who have met bin Laden
describe him as modest — almost shy. He rarely gives interviews. But he has allowed himself to be photographed, eyes staring intently into the camera under a white turban, his long, thin face made even longer by a brush of graying beard falling to his chest.
He is thought to be in his late 40s and to have at least three wives.
In a series of fatwas, or religious edicts, faxed to the outside world from his hideout in Afghanistan, bin Laden has laid out his case against the United States. Its soldiers protecting oil in his homeland are desecrating Muslim holy sites with their very presence, its power has emasculated Arab countries and its friend is Israel.
"We—with God's help—call on every Muslim who believes in God and wishes to be rewarded to comply with God's order to kill the Americans and plunder their money wherever and whenever they find it," read a February fatwa.

Too much blood sucks fun out of Blade
By Jeremy M. Doherty
Kansan movie critic
The vampires in Blade may look menacing here, but the head vampire, center, is about as menacing as a Tickle Me Elmo doll.
One should reasonably expect to find more than a little blood swishing about in a vampire movie.
But Blade, a comic book adaptation starring Wesley Snipes as a karate-kicking vampire hunter, takes its obsession with the red stuff to near nornographic levels.
In the opening scene, set in a nightclub stacked with dancing vampires, the sprinkler system suddenly spurs forth in a spray of gore that coats the room's inhabitants. The beasties gorge themselves and continue dancing in what's meant to be a kinky turn-on for both them and the audience.
Early on, director Stephen Norrington shows some indication that he'll give his viewers more than just a hyper-violent video game. There is a terrific scene in a morgue in which Snipes' hero, who is trying to finish off an especially persistent blood-sucker, suddenly is interrupted by a hail of police gunfire. Snipes turns, gives the cops an exasperated do-you-mind look and continues with the neck-snapping and impaling.
That's nearly all that Blade has going for it. Along with last year's Spawn, we can conclude only that the successful treatment of The Crow was a fluke.
Norrington can stage sword fights and shootouts with a master's precision, but he is unable to attach any emotional warmth to the movie. It becomes a matter of escalating body counts instead of escalating tension.
The film's plot, about an evil
vampire (Stephen Dorff) who wants to channel power from the Blood God, merely serves as the backdrop to the tedious oceans of carnage. Its target audience is probably those persons who found Saving Private Ryan too lighthearted.
snipes, who once acted in his movies, gives what is quickly becoming a typical performance for him. Blade has no emotional hangups about causing this much destruction, and the film's introduction of a female sidekick (N'bushe Wright) does not even

come close to enlivening his character.
The producers clearly couldn't afford a Dennis Hopper, Gary Oldman or Christopher Walken to play their villain. The audience is saddled with pretty-boy Dorff, whose Calvin Kleinish
looks and bony physique make him about as menacing as a Tickle Me Elmo doll.
Vampire-flick fans would do well to stick to the standbys on the video shelves. Blade does not contain the lurid eroticism of Interview with the Vampire or Bram Stoker's Dracula. Nor is it rowdy, sicko fun like the Quentin Tarantino scripted From Dusk Till Dawn. It is what it is — another excuse for special-effects nerds to break out the Karo syrup. Blade's bleak attitude is absolutely numbing.
Possum Dixon needs to freshen up its Sheets
Bv T.R. Miller
Kansan music fiend
People often talk of new beginnings. Poets, philosophers and recent divorces love to wax on the chance to start anew.
Me, I like to talk about good beginnings. Much like the opening paragraph of an essay, an attention-grabbing, smooth and snazzy song beginning is an art in itself. Possum Dixon's first track on New Sheets opens like an ominous factory machine — it's hard, it's heavy, but man, it's kind of cool. In fact, all of the tracks on New Sheets start off with such sparkly guitar riffs, even the most discriminate listener would lift his or her finger off the forward-track button for a moment.
"Pull these curtains back, let's get some light in here," he chirps, and then suddenly the song turns into guitar practice. Oh, but who

The title track even takes a turn for the worse. The riveting bass introduction dissipates into another choppy guitar-fest.

But there are a few unpolished gems among the rocks. The sweet love song *Only In The Summertime* has a propelling beat and quirky bass line reminiscent of old Cure licks. With lyrics such as, "Something in your eyes said you'd die to see me," Possum Dixon shows their sweet side. *Faultlines* is another standout with its trippy violin harmony and space-rocket guitar slides.
Produced by Ric Ocasek, *New Sheets* does have some redeemable musical qualities and Possum Dixon does know how to play. Just program your CD player on a 15-second scan and you can see for yourself. All 195 seconds of it.

Also, the magnetic strip on the new smart cards allows students with accounts at Commerce Bank to use the cards as debit and ATM cards.
Brandi Wilhelm, Commerce Bank employee, said that debit cards could entirely eliminate student needs for checks.
"We can issue them checks with their accounts, but most students are opting for just the card," she said. "They get the security of the pin number, so if they lose the card, it is pretty secure if they don't tell anyone the number."
Commerce Bank is building a permanent branch inside the Kansas Union, but that site still is under construction.
Commerce employees will be conducting business at a table in the lobby during their regular business hours of 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Christina Konfras, Lincoln, Neb., freshman, said she was considering using the smart-card option with the account she had at Commerce Bank.
Wilhelm said the office had encountered only a few problems with the new cards but that some students seemed to be confused about the separate functions of the magnetic strip and the microchip.
"I'm thinking about doing it because there is easy access to the money, but I'm worried that if I lose it, people would have access to the money," Konfras said.
"The chip on the front of the cards has nothing to do with the bank." Wilhelm said. "Students are coming to us saying they have money in their checking accounts, but they can't get their cards to

Only a few other problems have been reported throughout the University, mostly because of technical difficulties in the system.
"We don't have the laundry machines up and running yet," said Mary Ann Graham, manager of the University Card Center. "We have the readers installed, but they are still working on them. Students should be able to use them in the next couple of days."

Cash-to-card machines are at both the Kansas and Burge Unions, Strong Hall, Watson Library and Wescoe Hall. The machines enable students to put credit of up to $100 on their cards and use them in vending machines. Soon, students also will be able to use the cards with the laundry machines in the residence halls.
what the scanners are saying in the service center. We can still check out equipment, but we are having to write it down."
wales said she expected to have an explanation of the scanner symbols soon, which will make the equipment usable for the Robinson staff.
Another change made with the switch to smart cards is the elimination of fee stickers and bus-pass stickers on the cards. Instead, information will be electronically encoded in the card and available with scanners.
"we encode the chip on the cards each semester for people who buy bus passes," said Betsy Smith, sales representative with Kelly Services. "Everyone who signs up will have to get their cards encoded each semester, so people who get an annual bus pass will have to come back and do it again."
Students can get their cards encoded through 5 p.m. today on the sixth floor of the Kansas Union. After that, students still needing passes will have to go to the KU on Wheels office on the fourth floor.
Students still needing to pick up a smart card must go to the University Card Center, which is under construction. The center will be on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union near Alderson Auditorium but temporarily is located next to the SUA offices in the Union.
The cost of the smart card is $10, and students also must bring proof of fall enrollment and another piece of photo identification when receiving their cards.

Commentary Wrestling is entertaining; boxing: a joke
By Tony Pacheco
Kansan sportswriter
It started innocently enough when my friend brought over a video game for my Nintendo 64.
Somehow I was talked into playing the master of all wrestling games. My friend could do moves that required strict button sequencing in a matter of seconds in order to execute these maneuvers with precision.
we played and played and played,
and I was hooked, not only on the game
but on the drama of what is now the
ever-so-popular Monday Night Nitro.
I was scared. I didn't know what
was happening to me. My fascination with Hollywood, Hogan, Macho Madness, Goldberg, Kevin Nash, Diamond Dallas Page and the rest of those jokers was growing every week.

Then it hit me. 1

at J.C. Penney? Was it at my grandma's house on Thanksgiving Day when my uncle put in the movie Gator Bait (always a family holiday favorite?)
No, it was in boxing.
I used to be a boxing fan, but now it's just a toke.
It was the show that Promoter Don King and boxers Hector "Macho" Camacho, Oscar De La Hoya, Mike Tyson and Evander Hollyfield performed before their big matches.
Allow me to enlighten you with my reasons for switching from boxing to the wonderful realm of World Championship Wrestling.
We know that wrestling is fake. However, the curry is still out on boxing.
we know that wrestling is a joke, and everyone with the exception of the "Real Deal" Holyfield is a joker. For references, see the Riddick Bowe military flasto as well as the Viagra-sponsored bout between George Foreman and Larry Holmes.
Wrestling is much more entertaining and fun to watch. I've purchased pay-per-view boxing bouts three times for approximately $150 and received my money's worth only once—Holyfield-Tyson I. The other two times, we were privileged enough to see Tyson pummel Frank Bruno and have an all-you-can-eat meal out of Holyfield's ear.
combined time of the second and third main events was about four or five rounds.
What a bargain!
What to buy?
By comparison, on WCW pay-per-view they bring stars like Dennis Rodman a.k.a. Rodzilla, Karl Malone and Jay Leno. The price for the multi-hour display of showmanship is a whopping $30.
I can't believe I'm admitting this, but I bought tickets to Monday Night Nitro a few months back for $12.50 to see all the big-time clowns and acrobats perform for a guaranteed three hours.
What a show. These guys aren't just wrestlers; they are entertainers, actors, comedians and full-time athletes. They give the crowd exactly what they want comedy, action and drama.
Boxing rarely delivers the same punch.
For all those who laugh at what I say, give it a chance. Watch at least a half an hour of WCW, and you'll see what I'm talking about. You'll be handing out diamond cutters, body slams and power bombs to your friends in no time. And if you don't believe me, get in the ring, and I'll snap into you like a Slim Jim. Oh yeah!

Women's soccer kickstarts year
Four senior players set winning tradition
By Brad Hallier
Kansan sportswriter
And then there were four.
When varsity women's soccer began at Kansas in the fall of 1995, 14 freshmen were on the roster. As the 1998 season approaches, only four of those 14 have survived — seniors Erin Hon, Jen Silvers, Jackie Dowell and Sarah Korpi.
Why did these four elect to attend a school far away from home? And why did they decide to play for a school that was just beginning a team?
Dowell, a defender from Germantown, Md., who was the team's Defensive Most Valuable Player in '95 and '96, said she fell in love with the school during a recruiting trip that included a visit to Allen Field House for a men's basketball game.
"Ijust loved this place when I visited," Dowell said. "(Former Kansas coach) Laurie Walker pulled me and Erin out here because she had been our Olympic Development Program coach."
Korpi, a defender from Maple Grove, Minn., scored the first goal in Jayhawk soccer history Sept. 3, 1995, in a 5-loss at Evansville, Ind. She agreed with Dowell about falling for the University.
As the four seniors embark on their final season, there are two goals they set as freshmen that remain
"Lawrence is the perfect college town, and I like the way they support athletics here," Korpi said.
Dowell will be a team captain for the fourth consecutive season.
unachieved.
the first goal is to finish in the top six in the Big 12 Conference and qualify for the Big 12 Conference tournament. The second goal is to have the program's first winning record.
This year's conference tournament is Nov. 4-8 in San Antonio.
The 1995 and 1996 teams missed qualifying for the tournament, finishing seventh both seasons.
Last year's team was plagued by injuries and finished a disappointing 10th. The seniors said they hope this season will be different.
Hon, a midfielder from Serverna Park, Park,md., knows that the team has made strides since the inaugural campaign in '95.
"The big difference between our freshmen year and this year is leadership," Hon said. "Coming in as freshmen in a first year program, leaders weren't established. Now as seniors, we have the experience to lead the voucher players."
Hon was named the team's MVP in '95. She and Dowell are the only two players who have played in all 57 Kansas soccer games. Dowell is the only player who started every Kansas game.
"We've had to establish something in our four years," Silvers said. "We've started the traditions, and we want to leave a hard work ethic for years to come. We don't want new players to come here thinking this is going to be easy."
Silvers, a forward from Fairfax, Va. is the only player in the program's brief history to record two assists in one game Sept. 20, 1997.
Coach Dan Magner is looking for his four seniors to provide a lot of leader-
But that isn't the only thing Silvers wants to leave with the program.

Men's soccer sets lofty goals for fall season

Goal No. 1: win the National Club Team Championship in November. Goal No. 2: have fun.
The Kansas men's soccer club team returns to Mount Crest this fall with two distinct goals.

That should scare opponents.
The Jayhawks return 22 players from the team that won the regional club championship before losing to Arizona in the national quarterfinals.
Brendann Northcott, Olathe senior, anticipates a successful season.
"We expect some real good competition, which will help us later in the year," he said.
The club has held tryouts this week and will continue to have sessions late into next week.
Forty-four students are trying to earn a spot on the team.
Carl Eaton, third-year coach, said he was very pleased by the turnout this year.
please by the way we got some really fine young men trying out this year," Eaton said. "I've seen a lot of good character and positive peer pressure thus far."
Eaton said that because of the high turnout, the club will field an "A" and a "B" team.
"There is a beauty in having two teams," Eaton said. "We're trying to build a tradition at KU for men's soccer, and I think that fielding two teams will help us begin to do that."
help us begin to work. Jim Bovaird, who will be in charge of the club's "B" team, said that the difference in talent level between the two squads would be minimal.
"With the number of quality players that we have, the level of play will not drop that far," said Bovaird, Topea graduate student. "Our main focus is going to be on winning and having fun at the same time."
Although they are not a varsity team, men's soccer players want to make sure they are considered a club team only in name.
"If we had the support and facilities, who knows how good we could be," Gray said.

"Everyone out here certainly has talent," Eaton said. "We want disciplined, committed, competitive players, but I think competition in itself breeds commitment."
The team has a long and grueling schedule that members said they hoped would prepare them for the regional tournament in October.

Washington, team set higher goals for this season
By Sam Mellinger
Kansan Sports writer
You'd think this would get old.
Marian Washington has been the Kansas women's basketball coach since before her players were born.
Her enthusiasm for the sport is balanced with a soothing aura that Nakia Sanford, senior forward/center, compares to a mother or father.
She's won 489 games at Kansas in two and a half decades, but the animated look on her rounded face as she speaks about her 26th team, tells you she might be able to do this for another 20 years.
"She's so calm during our games it makes us calm," Sanford said. "We feel very confident and comfortable with her."
That composed feeling is evident as soon as Washington opens her office door, extends her hand and welcomes you.
It's been a busy day for her already; she
just returned from a recruiting trip. She's been everywhere from Portland, Ore., to Washington, D.C., watching girls' high school basketball.
"It's going well," she said. "We're getting into the homes of the No. 1 and No. 2 players in the country. The next step is to convince them to come visit us."
Washington then talks about last year's team.
She talks about how young they were, how nobody expected them to win 23 games or make the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament. The smile gets bigger.
"In the back of my mind, I kept telling myself 'Marian, this is a building year,' she said. "What we did last year truly was a tremendous accomplishment."
But last year was last year, and Washington understands more will be expected from this year's team.
we're not going to be surprising anybody," she said. "We're going to have some
Washington: Just returned from a recruiting trip
She was convinced when her team won after being down 20 points with 10 minutes left against Texas.
"That has to go down as one of the most incredible games ever played in Allen Field House," she said. "The more we fought back, the more we saw we could win
A. D.
very high goals for ourselves. We're always going to want to be in a position to vie for conference titles."
Washington knows her team can handle it. She had a hunch last season after the Jayhawks shook off a schedule that had them playing eight of their first 11 games away from Lawrence by winning eight of those games.
that game."
Then she talks about this season. She talks about how much easier this year will be. Washington is confident she can ask her three seniors and last year's leading scorer, guard/forward Lynn Pride ,how the team is progressing.
Suzi Raymant, senior guard/forward, said that there was no one leader and that the team worked together as a whole.
Now you see why Washington gets that smile on her face, and why her eyes get so big when she talks about her team.
"It's everybody's team, and everybody's responsibility," she said.
P
You see why 25 previous seasons do nothing to Washington's excitement about her 26th.
"The players we have here are exactly what we want," she said. "They truly have a great sense of work ethic, and they're not afraid of it."

Baseball games pulled off national TV
Sports on the tube
Baseball fans will miss three potentially important matchups. The first game, San Francisco at Los Angeles, could have wild-card implications, and the next two may have historical significance.
Viewers will be hurt the most by the dispute between baseball and ESPN that led to the final three Sunday night games being pulled off national television.
At their current pace, the Yankees would tie the record for most wins in a season Sept. 20 against the Orioles, a game that was supposed to be on ESPN, but now will be an only in Baltimore and New York.
Instead of watching Mark McGwire make his assault on Roger Maris' home run record Sept. 13, 13 fans will be left with something like taped boxing.
P
the plane falls on the shoulders of ESPN, which should have set up a contingency plan with baseball to move the games to ESPN2 before signing a 54.8 billion, eight-year deal with the NFL in January.
ESPN instead acted unilaterally after signing the NFL deal. The network was relying on an ambiguous part of its contract with baseball that allows for preemption of up to 10 games for an event of significant viewer interest. These preemptions are subject to baseball's approval but can't be unreasonably withheld.
That is where the dispute arises.
ESPN points to ratings that show the Sunday night football games being watched in more than five times as many homes as baseball games last September.

ESPN offered a settlement that would have benefited the fans more than baseball's solution, putting the games on over-the-air television locally and ESPN2 nationally.
remain on ESPN, which is in 74 million homes compared to less than 60 million for ESPN2.
Baseball also preserves its legal standing to sue ESPN in the offseason for breach of contract.
And baseball fans are left out to dry.
FOX TRAP
Announcement stalls; NHL awaits Fox's bid
The NHL is not expected to announce its new $200 million television deal with the Walt Disney Co. until at least next week, as Fox is delaying a decision on whether it will match the bid.
Fox, which is entering the final year of a $1.55 million, fiveyear deal, has the right to match ABC's $250 million portion of the bid. But

anter losing $10 million last year, Fax is expected to pass and may even offer to sell the final year of the package to ABC.
Even though Fox's 10-day window to match the contract has passed, the league has not announced its deal with ABC, ESPN and ESPN2.
Fox may be waiting for the league to act first because it is considering suing the league because of a dispute over how Disney's bid is split up between ESPN and ABC.
The WNBA finished its second regular season this week, and ratings are in a slump.
WHAT'S NEXT
WNBA ratings face second season slump
NBC slipped 16 percent, ESPN fell 29 percent and Lifetime dropped 17 percent. But NBC analyst Ann Myers
says the league is stronger in its second year, pointing to an improvement in the quality of play, coaching and officiating.

"The fans are identifying more with their teams and the games have been exciting."
Myers said. "But people have to understand there will be road bumps in a new league. Fortunately so many of the games are on television, unfortunately people can see the growing pains."

ESPN has hired Coleman Cincinnati Bali Solomon Wilcals on its side-line reporter on "Sunday Night Football." Wilcats, who was a weekend sports anchor in Cincinnati before being hired by ESPN in June, knows it won't be easy to get time with ESPN's new three-man booth of Joe Theismann, Mike Patrick and Paul Maguire this season. "I know they didn't bring me in for filler, because Paul and Joe can certainly take care of that," he said.

Runners set 100-meter track marks in Europe
The Associated Press
BUDAPEST, Hungary — The next challenge to the sprinting supremacy of Marion Jones might come from a young French woman with orange-dyed hair.
Christine Arron, a 24-year-old native of Guadeloupe, overcame a slow start to win the women's 100 meters Wednesday at the European Championships, setting a continental record of 10.73 seconds.
That just missed the times of 10.71 and 10.72 clocked by Jones, the U.S. star and world champion. Jones has run each time twice this year.
Both still have to improve before they can approach the world record of 10.49 spt by Florence Griffith-Joyner in 1888.
"Now I hope to improve more and stay healthy and do something really nice next year at the worlds," Arron said.
If Arron is closing in on Jones, the European men are still way behind the North Americans.
Darren Campbell led a 1-2 British finish in the men's 100, clocking 10.04 seconds to set a championship record and a personal best.
Campbell is coached by Linford Christie, the retired ace who won the last three European titles and was the last European to successfully battle the North Americans.
But Campbell was quick to issue a challenge.
"I am No. 1 in Europe now. This is one of the stepping stones that Linford and I have planned so that we can take on the Americans seriously," the 24-year-old Briton said.
Arron trailed Irina Privalova of Russia early in the women's 100. But with her powerful stride, Arron caught Privalova in the last 20 meters and stole the title and the European record from the Russian, who is coming off leg surgery.
"It was a difficult race for me because Privalova had a very good start," Arron said.
"Halfway through the race I saw Privalova from the corner of my eye and I accelerated between 60 and 80 meters."
Privalova clocked 10.83 to win the silver in her fastest race this year. Her 1994 European record was 10.77.
Ekaterini Thanou of Greece won the bronze in 10.87 and set a national record. Arron's performance overshadowed the British triumph in the men's dash.
Campbell, who once nearly quit track to take up soccer, edged another upcoming British sprinter, Dwain Chambers, who took the silver in 10.10. Charalambos Papadias of Greece won the bronze in 10.17.
"Linford has prepared me brilliantly for this," Campbell said. "I knew I was going to win it. I wasn't surprised I won, and I wasn't nervous out there. In fact, I felt really cool. I knew after I was in contention at 60 meters, the race would be mine.
"My start was a little bit dodgy, but I knew I would be strong at the end.
"I was really pleased Dwain was second. We said in the call-up room it would be a 1,2, but we didn't know who would win," Campbell said.
Other gold medals of the day went to Kiril Susovun of Russia, who cleared 27 feet, 2 inches to win the men's long jump. Sonia O'Sullivan of Ireland, in the women's 10,000 meters with a time of 31 minutes 29.33 seconds; Tibor Geseck of Hungary in the men's hammer throw with a heave of 271-101/2; and Tanja Damaske of Germany in the women's javelin at 226.8.

Iowa basketball standouts to visit'Hawks
By Erin Thompson
Kansan sportswriter
Iowa may hold two of the top men's basketball recruits for Kansas.
Nick Collison, a 6-foot-9 forward, from Iowa City and Kirk Hinrich, a 6-3 point guard from Iowa City West High, have official campus visits scheduled at Kansas.
The lowans have several similarities — both handle the ball well, are good passers and have grown up around basketball because their fathers are their high school coaches.
Collison has narrowed his choices to Kansas and Duke. He has an official visit to Kansas on Sept. 18 and Duke on Sept. 11. He expects to make a decision after his visit to Kansas.
Collison also plans to make an unofficial visit to Lawrence on Labor Day weekend.
Dave Collision, Nick's father and coach at Iowa Falls High School, said he thought Nick would fit in well with the Kansas team.
"He's exactly the kind of player that will fit in," he said. "He's played the motion offense and man-to-man defense in high school."
Collison has a reputation as an intelligent player who understands the game.
the game.
"A lot of college coaches have said he has a good presence on the court," Dave Collison said. "He really understands the game and knows what to do and when to do it."
The proximity of Kansas to Iowa could be a factor in Collison's decision.
"The biggest drawback for Duke is it's so far away," Dave Collison said. "At KU, he'd have the ability to get home once in a while, and we could get down there to see some games. He'd be able to get home,
and that will be a factor in his decision."
Kansas's location and familiarity could also be a factor for Hinrich.
"The location is definitely a factor," said Jim Hinrich, Kirk's father and high school coach. "It's the closest school other than Iowa State. We have a daughter that is a junior there. And the facilities are fantastic."
Hinrich averaged 18.3 points per game last season, shot 61 percent from the floor and made 87 percent of his freethrows.
Hinrichs made an oral commitment to Iowa State between his sophomore and junior years, but since Iowa State coach Tim Floyd left for the Bulls, Hinrich is reconsidering his choice.
Although Kansas has freshman McDonald's All-American point guard Jeff Boschee to replace senior Ryan Robertson, Jim Hinrich said that was not a factor.
"Kirk can play both point and off guard." Jim Hinrich said. "He's hoping he is good enough. He really likes it and really likes the coaches."
Other basketball news
Kansas assistant coach Neil Dougherty had a second interview Wednesday for the basketball coaching position at Colorado State.
Tim Floyd's departure from Iowa State could affect more than Hinrich's interest in playing ball at Kansas.
Former Colorado State coach Steve Morril left to fill the position at Utah State, which was vacated when Larry Eustachy left to be the head coach at Iowa State following Floyd's departure.
Tuesday Colorado State interviewed Portland State coach Ritchie McKay. No other interviews are scheduled, and an announcement is expected soon.
Young players dominate Kansas' football roster
By Jodi M. Smith
Kansan sportswriter
So would Kansas.
Most college football teams prefer to have more upperclassmen on their depth chart than underclassmen. So would Kansas
The depth chart released following yesterday's practice shows the Jayhawks approaching their first game Sept. 5 with 26 freshman and a mere 15 seniors.
Of the 25 starting positions, though, underclassmen hold the top spot in only three.
"We have more younger players than we'd like to have, but so be it," coach Terry Allen said.
Seven true freshman made the list in either the second or third spots for their positions.
That doesn't necessarily mean that they will play or that they will even escape a red-shirt year.
"There's seven true freshman that we could potentially not redshirt," Allen said. "They look good, but they've kind of gone downhill in the last couple of days. It's just a different game than it was in high school football."
After a team vote, senior offensive guard Justin Glasgow and senior outside linebacker Patrick Brown were named team co-captains. They join junior quarterback Zac Wegner and senior defensive end Michael Allen, who were chosen last year.

Football deaths spark extra caution in heat
The Associated Press
WICHITA — The deaths of two Wichita area high school football players who collapsed after practice in 100-degree heat have prompted extra caution about dealing with the hot weather.
Coaches throughout the region were talking about the need for being careful — providing additional water breaks, fruit snacks and altered practice routines.
"I'm very concerned," said Tom Audley, Andover football coach. "I'm concerned for their safety. That's a common feeling for guys in coaching. You don't want anything to happen to anybody involved."
Robert Alexander Barrett, 17, of Wichita Southeast, and Matthew Whittredge, 15, of Circle High in Towanda, both died Tuesday in Wichita hospitals, after collapsing Monday, the first day of practice. Although investigations of their deaths have not been completed, heat is suspected to be a factor in both cases.
Mueller, who has headed a 67-year-old research program at North Carolina since 1980, said there were two heat-related deaths in the country in 1996 and four in 1995. Overall in 1997, there were 13 deaths among high school and junior high football players.
The deaths were the first football-related fatalities in Kansas since an Oakley player died from injuries suffered in a game in October 1996.
Several Wichita area coaches huddled with their players after learning of the two deaths and explained the importance of safety.
Frederick Mueller, a University of North Carolina professor who tracks high school football deaths, said there was only one death related to heat last year. He said a North Carolina high school player died of heat exhaustion earlier this month.
"It just expresses the need for them to stay hydrated," said
"We didn't really think about it because when people get exhausted, they lay down to catch a breather. But the longer he lay down, the more worried we got."
Alan Schuckman, Bishop Carroll football coach. "We try to take extra precautions, not just at practice, but that they drink throughout the day."
Temperatures in the area hovered near 100 degrees Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Football players in Kansas practiced in helmets, T-shirts and shorts the first three days this week. Yesterday was the first day the Kansas State High School Activities Association allowed players to wear full pads, and coaches were preparing for the extra load.
"What we try to do is all our conditioning in the mornings," said Mulvane coach Dave Fennewald. "In the evening, it's mainly going over plays, formations and stuff like that."
Coaches also look for signs of trouble.
Derby athletic director Steve Shook said that the coaches are not doctors by any stretch of the imagination, but they look for warning signs of an athlete suffering from heat stroke such as light-headedness or cold, clammy skin.
The KHSSAA requires all athletes to undergo a physical evaluation before competing in sports. Schools use a standardized physical form assembled by a medical committee of health professionals. It includes a full-page questionnaire of the athlete's medical history, which must be signed by a parent or guardian.
Circle canceled practice Wednesday. At other schools where drills continued, athletes were mindful of the deaths.
Brandon Hendrix
"I know things can happen."
Junior quarterback
said Rasheed Berry, a senior fullback at Wichita North. "I know bad things are playing sports. Sports are dangerous. You've got to have the love to play and be serious about it."
Whittredge collapsed Monday following a 31/2-hour afternoon workout, and he died Tuesday night at Wesley Medical Center in Wichita. Barrett, who collapsed Monday morning as he was walking to the locker room, died earlier Tuesday.
Doctors told Dorothy Whittredge that her son's death was heat-related. His temperature was 109 degrees when he was brought to the emergency room in El Dorado, she said.
It was especially hot in Towanda when Circle players began practice at 3:30 p.m. Monday — a day when temperatures pushed past 100 degrees.
The players had just finished a 10-minute cool-down jog at the end of practice when Matthew collapsed.
"We didn't really think about it because when people get exhausted, they lay down to catch a breather," said junior quarterback Brandon Hendrix. "But the longer he lay down, the more worried we got."
Students and school officials are now trying to deal with the deaths of the athletes.
"This is a tragedy, and right now we have a family in extreme grief," said Circle Superintendent Dale Rawson. "We have a number of students who are grieving. We have staff who are in grief. The concern is dealing with those individuals and dealing with this grief."

Royals fans urged to OK lawyer's bid
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — With Kansas City's major league status hanging in the balance, residents were urged yesterday to support a New Yorker's bid to buy the Royals.
"If people in Kansas City don't want baseball in Kansas City, what can we do?" Royals president Mike Herman said at a news conference. "If we can't find local buyers, we are permitted to move the team. It's something we don't want to do."
Herman said that the board met yesterday morning and declared that the group headed by New York lawyer Miles Prentice III had the best bid but failed to meet the requirement of 50 percent local investment.
Herman said that always had been a requirement for purchasing the team, which has been in ownership limbo since founder Ewing Kauffman died in 1993.
"I think we'll get it done," said Prentice, who owns a double-A team in Midland, Texas. "I love
KC
R
Royals
baseball. I'm still having fun.
This has been an interesting odyssev."
Prentice has persuaded some of Kansas City's most prominent families to join him in reaching the board's minimum price of $75 million, including the adopted daughter and daughter-in-law of the team's late founder. Ewing Kauffman. His only competition is a partnership between Lamar Hunt, owner of the Kansas City Chiefs, and Western Resources Inc., a utility giant from Topeka.
The Hunt group, however, has bid only $25 million up front, plus $27 million conditional upon tax-payers' making millions of dollars worth of improvements to Kauffman Stadium.
"The Miles Prentice group has submitted the superior bid. Our articles of incorporation require that we have to have 50 percent
local ownership," Herman said. "The board is now challenging the citizens of Kansas City to step up to the plate and support the Prentice bid."
Herman refused to say how much more local investment Prentice needs or whether the Hunt group was still in the running.
Hunt's office said he was traveling and not available for comment. A representative for John Hayes Jr., chairman of Western Resources, would issue only this one-sentence statement:
"We're continuing to work at the process."
Prentice, who has promised all along that he has no intention to move the team, said he was not upset when the 50 percent local investment condition was added.
"Not when I understood the reasons," he said. "It's very rational. I have no problem with it."
Many Kansas City residents recall that the late Charlie Finley, who was not a local resident, moved the Athletics to Oakland in 1967.
"You were burned once," Prentice said at a news conference yesterday. "I understand the concern."
Founded as an American League expansion team in 1969, the Royals were hugely successful through the 1980s, winning the 1980 pennant and the 1955 World Series. But attendance has dipped, and they have been consistent moneylosers since slipping into mediocrity and finishing in the AL Central cellar the past two seasons.
Kauffman, one of Kansas City's most generous philanthropists, set aside more than $50 million to shore up losses until a local buyer was found and stipulated that all proceeds from the sale would go to local charities. Although they are committed by lease to stay in Kansas City through 2015, no owner would be required to remain if the team is not adequately supported.
"I'm still hopeful everything will work out here," said David Glass, the chairman of the board. "But at some point in time, the Royals have to stay in Kansas City based on merit."
Chew on this: Bite Fight ref is TV judge
The Associated Press
The black-robed judge bangs his gavel and says, "Let's get it on."
It's how he opens his daily nationally syndicated television show, "Judge Mills Lane — America's Judge." It's also how Lane concludes his miding instructions to fighters.
Yes, it's the same Mills Lane who disqualified Mike Tyson for biting Evander Holyfield's ears.
"I'm no hero," Lane said. "I was just doing my job."
The Bite Fight, however, made Lane something better than being a hero in this day and age. It made him a celebrity.
He is now dispensing justice on television because he tossed Tyson, not because he's a former Nevada district court judge known as Maximum Mills.
"There's no question, it put me where I am now," Lane said.
Anyone tuning in between the
first and second case on Lane's first show this week might have thought his wisdom was biblical.
When the show resumed after a commercial break, viewers were told, "This next case involves a burning bush."
It seems a boy set fire to a bush on a neighboring property, and the neighbors wanted compensation.
Besides becoming a TV personality, Lane, who retired as a state judge May 1, also has written, with Jedwin Smith, a book — "Let's Get It On: Tough Talk From Boxing's Top Ref and Nevada's Most Outspoken Judge."
Of disqualifying Tyson after the third round of his rematch with Holyfield on June 28, 1997, in Las Vegas, Lane writes, "I went to Tyson's corner and chased him. I can still see him sitting on the stool, eyes blazing, his mouth open in disbelief. His cornermen were shouting at me, dumbfounded as I tugged on my left ear, indicating
"Admittedly, it took every ounce of willpower I could muster to mask my contempt for the obstinate, unrepentant creature that sat before me. I swallowed my anger and said, 'That's it, Mike. You're outta here. You're gone, you're done.'"
that while one bite was bad enough,
two bites was the end of the search.
Asked recently if he thought maybe he should have disqualified Tyson after the first bite, which took a chunk out of Holyfield's right ear, Lane said a case could be made for that. He said people who thought the fight should be stopped after the first bite could not be considered wrong.
Lane declined to comment about whether Tyson, who had his license revoked and was wined $3 million, would be reinstated, but he approved of his withdrawal of his license application from New Jersey and applying to Nevada. Tyson will appear before the Nevada State
Athletic Commission on on Sept. 9.
While Tyson's boxing future is in a state of flux, it appears Lane's career of refereeing almost 100 world championship fights is nearing an end so he can become a television boxing analyst.
He will always be remembered as the referee of the Bite Fight. People have already forgotten he was the referee for Holyfield's second-fight victory over Riddick Bowe in 1993, during which a man wearing a paraglider (Fan Man) crashed against the ring in the seventh round.
"A more bizarre fight to me was when Oliver McCall came apart," he said of the 1997 bout between Oliver McCall and Lennox Lewis in which McCall broke down in tears after the fourth round, then refused to defend himself, forcing Lane to stop the bout in the fifth round.
As for himself, Lane lists another bout as No.1 in his wacky-happening category.

NFL players battle with injuries
Rice tackles rehabilitation not opponents
The Associated Press
Sticking to their go-slow approach with Jerry Rice, the San Francisco 49ers have ruled out any playing time for the star receiver in Sunday's exhibition game against Miami.
"All I envision is Jerry Rice being introduced to our home crowd against the Jets and seeing him catch some special pass plays," 49ers coach Steve Mariucci said Wednesday. "I don't think about him catching a pass against the Dolphins."
The decision all but ensures that Rice, coming off two major injuries to his left knee, will not make his return until the Sept. 6 regular-season opener against the New York Jets.
Rice tore ligaments and damaged cartilage last year in San Francisco's season-opening loss at Tampa Bay. He went through an intense rehabilitation and made a dramatic return Dec. 15 against the Broncos but fractured his left kneecap when he fell on the surgically reconstructed joint after catching a touchdown pass.
Bryce Paup, slowed by a groin injury in the star linebacker's first season with Jacksonville, is expected to see limited action Saturday in the Jaguars' exhibition game at Kansas City.
Jaguars
"This is about the worst case scenario you could have," Paup said. "You get brought in to a new team, and they expect a lot out of you. You try to learn the defense, you try to come in and do your part and you can't. It's really frustrating."
Paup, 30, joined the Jaguars as a free agent in February, signing a long-term contract reportedly worth about $22 million.
Miami offensive tackle Richmond Webb, safety Brock Marion and receiver Yatil Green resumed workouts for the first time in more than a week.
Dolphins
Webb, the team's ironman with 110 consecutive regular-season starts, missed the first two exhibition games after undergoing surgery to remove loose particles in his right elbow.
NFL
Green, the Dolphins' first-round draft pick last season, underwent surgery Aug. 2 to repair damaged cartilage in his right knee. Marion sprained his right ankle in the exhibition opener against Washington.
Cowboys Dallas lost more than a game in Mexico City.
The Cowboys reported to the NFL that a burglar stole cash.
cell phones and other items from their locker room at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City during their 21-3 loss to New England on Monday night.
Items were stolen from "a handful of players," Leslie Hammond of the NFL said Wednesday. "It looks like it was a few thousand dollars, including cash and credit cards and some electronics."
Hammond said NFL security is reviewing the case before referring it to local Mexican authorities.
Giants
Although medically cleared to play against the New York Jets last night, receiver Ike Hilliard still has some unexplained tingling sensations in his lower back.
Hilliard, who missed most of his rookie season because of a neck injury, participated in a walkthrough workout Wednesday morning as the Giants broke camp at the University at Albany.
Concern about the tingling caused Hilliard to leave practice
Monday afternoon. He went to New York City on Tuesday and had an MRI exam, with team doctors giving him the OK to play.
Oilers
"It's been happening here and there," Hilliard said of the tingling, "but I'm all right."
Tennessee cornerback Samari Rolle, sidelined by a bruised spine that left his left side temporarily numb, passed another set of tests Wednesday.
"He had a repeat of everything he had immediately after the injury, and everything is fine," coach Jeff Fisher said. "The doctors are hopeful that perhaps by the end of the week he'll be able to begin some activity, some running. They were encouraged."
Packers
Rolle, the Oilers' second-round draft pick from Florida State, collided with receiver Derrick Mason last week in practice.
Backup offensive tackle John Michels will miss the season because of a knee injury, striking another blow to Green Bay's depleted offensive line.
Michels, the Packers' 1996 firstround draft choice, tore his right anterior cruciate ligament in a pass-blocking drill Tuesday, leaving 12-year pro Bruce Wilkerson and Matt Willig to battle for a roster spot.
Surgeries, contract dispute weaken Packers
GREEN BAY, Wis. --- The Green Bay Packers are in a world of hurt.
The Associated Press
Dorsely Levens hasn't even shown up yet. Robert Brooks is recuperating from back surgery, and tackle John Michels is the sixth backup to need season-ending surgery.
The two-time defending NFC champs have played poorly in two of three exhibitions, with Brett Favre completing just 11 passes, only one to his favorite target, Antonio Freeman.
Plus, they have committed 31 penalties, way out of character for a Mike Holmgren-coached team.
"We had 13 holding penalties in three games. That might be a world's record that will stand forever," Holmgren said. "I should phone Guinness on that and see where we are. I don't get that one."
Against Oakland last week, the only pass rush was provided by blitzing strong safety LeRoy Butler, and the thin secondary was picked apart.
The offense has company in its misery. The defense has looked lost.
The last two seasons, the Packers' defense was solidified by July, but now it is revamping the line and its defensive backfield.
G
we're trying to get three new starters ready at
different spots, and we're not anywhere near where we need to be," said Fritz Shurmur, defensive coordinator.
Those new starters are
Those new starters are second-year pro Darren Sharper at free safety for Eugene Robinson, rookie Vonnie Holliday at right defensive end for Gabe Wilkins and veteran George Koonce to strongside linebacker for Seth Joyner.
"All those things have prevented us from being what I hoped we'd be at this point," Shurmur said. "We need to get those things squared away."
"Last year, we jumped in there with the same guys with one change from the Super Bowl team (Wilkins for Sean Jones), and it went pretty smooth," Shurmur said. "This year, it's more difficult because we're working more guys in."
Injuries also have slowed progress.
Joyner missed so much time that his roster spot is in jeopardy. When Koonce sat out of drills this
Joyner and weakside linebacker Brian Williams have missed significant time with knee injuries, as well as defensive end Vaughn Booker, who is supposed to fill in as a relief player for Holiday and Reggie White, who is battling a bad back.
week with a sore ankle, he was replaced not by Jogger but by Lamont Hollingquest.
"He's not one of the three best linebackers right now," Shurmur said.
Michels was the third-best tackle when he was injured
The team's 1996 first-round draft choice was having an outstanding camp until tearing his right anterior cruciate ligament in a pass-blocking drill with Holliday on Tuesday, leaving 12-year pro Bruce Wilkerson and castoff Matt Willig to battle for a roster spot.
"No, we don't feel very secure at all," general manager Ron Wolf said Wednesday. "But the good thing is we have two guys that have started in the NFL at that position in Willig and Wilkerson. Somebody's got to step up and win that now."
As it is, the Packers are facing the possibility of starting the season without its best runner in Levens and its most reliable receiver in Brooks.
Brooks had back surgery to repair a bulging disk two weeks ago, and Levens is holding out for a $5 million annual salary. Wolf said there was no progress to report in the standoff.
Also, free agent Raymont Harris isn't fully recovered from offseason foot surgery, and the leading backup receivers, Derrick Mayes and Bill Schroeder, have 26 career matches between them.
Anti-drug plan high priority for Olympics
The Associated Press
LAUSANNE, Switzerland — Calling drugs the biggest threat to the Olympics since the political boycotts of the 1980s, Australian officials are offering a series of proposals to slow down the use of performance-enhancers.
Kicking drug-ridden sports out of the Olympics, imposing financial penalties on drug cheats and setting up a special International Olympic Committee anti-doping agency were among the Australian recommendations.
The proposals were being submitted to the IOC executive board, which convened an emergency meeting Thursday to address the spiraling drug problem and prepare for a worldwide doping summit in January.
Both meetings were called by IOC president Juan Antonio Samaranch after a summer of doping scandals rocked the Tour de France, track and field, swimming and other sports.
Samaranch fueled controversy
himself by stating, in a Spanish newspaper interview, that the list of banned drugs should be slashed and only substances that are hazardous to an athlete's health should be prohibited.
Samaranch's comments, which appeared to favor a relaxation in the anti-drug fight, stunned the Olympic world and put him in conflict with some of his top aides.
Prince Alexandre de Merode, who as chairman of the IOC medical commission has led the anti-doping campaign for 31 years, said he was aghast at Samaranch's remarks.
"People who want to reduce the (banned) list are the people who want to let doping continue," de Merode told the French newspaper Le Fisiero.
The doping issue is particularly prominent in Australia, which will stage the next Olympics in Sydney in 2000.
"This is the most serious crossroads we have faced since the political boycotts of the 1970s and 1980s," said Kevin Gosper, Australia's IOC executive board member.
Gosper said he was presenting a 10-point plan for the summit, including encouraging government law enforcement agencies to prosecute drug producers and traffickers and putting pressure on drug manufacturers to help control the spread of steroids and other performance-enhancers.
Gopher also proposed that athletes caught using banned drugs should face financial sanctions, including fines and loss of prize money and sponsorships and suggested that any sports federations that don't comply with the IOC's anti-doping policies could be suspended from future Olympics.
Five years ago, the IOC brokered an agreement committing all Olympic sports federations to unify their anti-doping rules, procedures and sanctions — or risk the possibility of being kicked out of the games. But the accord has achieved only limited success, and the IOC has backed off its threat of expulsion.
Gosper proposed that the IOC should consider creating its own

permanent agency to coordinate the fight against drugs for all Olympic sports.
At present, the IOC is directly responsible for drug testing only during the Olympic Games, with sports federations controlling the testing and sanctions the rest of the time.
But Gosper said the proposed IOC agency could handle out-of-competition drug testing for a select number of elite athletes, while leaving the rest of the doping controls to the federations.
"My idea is that the IOC has sufficient experience and credibility to assume this role," Gosper said.

Lawrence firefighters work to extinguish a fire that broke out at Melsea Court, 1605 Tennessee Ave., an empty apartment block that was being renovated. The fire was put out by 12:05 a.m. Photo by GR Gordon-Ross.
Fire rips through building Park and ride
Kanson online editor
Melrose Court, an older structure at 1605 Tennessee Ave, being renovated as new apartments, was engulfed in flames at 11:00 p.m. last night.
At least 10 fireman at the scene and atop three fire trucks worked to put out the blaze, which was shooting embers into the sky like a giant bonfire.
The firemen were directing water coming from one of the trucks toward flames surrounding the top of the building. By 11:25 p.m., flames mostly were visible on the north and south sides of the house. Smoke hung heavily in the air and could be smelled several blocks from the blaze.
More than 50 people gathered to the south, north and east. Four members of the Lawrence Police Department kept people on 16th Street from getting to close.
By 11:30 p.m., Lawrence police officers at the scene had no information about the fire.
Smoke and fire did not obscure the Mercantile Bank and First Management signs in front of the building announcing the redevelopment plans.
Several onlookers said they saw the beginnings of the blaze. Danielle Ryan, Chicago sophomore, was sitting on her porch at 308 W. 16th St. with Christian Walter, Girard junior.
and Mike Baker, Iola sophomore, at 10:45 p.m. when the three saw a small fire in the corner of the building. Ryan immediately called 911.
Walter said he was not sure whether he heard a sound before he saw the fire. The other two said they heard nothing. They all said it took less than 10 minutes for the building
to be completely on fire.
By 11:40 p.m., the upper half of Melrose Court was heavily burned in a zig-zag pattern and small fires were visible through the remnants of the building's windows.
Water still was spouting from the fire trucks. Much of the water that had been sprayed at the building ran
down the muddy hill upon which the building stands.

Park and ride ends parking headaches
By Chad Bettes
Kansan staff writer
A new "park and ride" bus service has been rolled out this semester by KU on Wheels with the goal of relieving parking lot overcrowding on campus and increasing the number of transportation options available to students.
The park and ride service is being offered from the Lied Center on West Campus. There, students leave their cars and await bus service, which is scheduled six times per hour. Buses stop just inside the Lied Center parking lot on Ruppenthal Drive. KU on Wheels then takes students anywhere on the bus route.
Nicole Skalla, KU transportation coordinator, said she estimated that approximately 150 of the 300 available passes would be sold this semester. As of Thursday afternoon, 80 of the passes had been
purchased at a price of $120. Skalla said the price was attractive because a student parking pass and bus pass together would normally cost $185.
"We wanted to entice students with the price." Skalla said. "And, as people get disgusted and have to hunt for spaces, they will get more interested."
Two students who are taking advantage of the service are pleased it is being offered. Matthew Sampson, Leavenworth graduate student, has not experienced on-campus parking first-hand, but he has heard about

the problems and observed them while at the University.
"I didn't even want to fight the parking problem," Sampson said. "I also want to make maximum use of the bus pass to go downtown." Amanda Matthews, Salina junior, lives in a townhouse off-campus and off the bus route. She will use the park and ride service to get to classes.
"It's a good price because it's only 10 bucks more than a bus pass for the year," Matthews said.
Park and ride is a pilot program and comes after several years of discussion by the KU Transportation Board and others. Last year, Scott Kaiser, then-transportation coordinator, and Don Kearns, director of parking, initiated serious discussions to get the idea off the ground. They reached a compromise to ensure that the program can break even financially, that enough parking is available at Lied Center, and that KU on Wheels can support additional riders resulting from park and ride.
The compromise included revenue being split between the parking department and KU on Wheels and the addition of one permanent bus by KU on Wheels to handle the increased bus traffic. The program may be expanded if it is successful. Skalla said.
Skalla said she had been promoting the program with filers and newspaper advertising. The service also will be advertised at the Commuter and Non-traditional Information Fair. Graduate students and commuters are expected to use the service, Skalla said.
Skalla said her office had received many inquiries about the service. The University Information Center has also handled several calls regarding the service, said Angela Reilly, Leavenworth senior and KU Info employee.
New course studies masculinity
By Carolyn Mollett
Kansan staff writer
Joel Morton didn't expect a large turnout for his Studies in Masculinity class last Thursday because the course wasn't listed in the fall course directory.
Morton, a Humanities and Western Civilization graduate teaching assistant, was pleasantly surprised to have six students in his first class
There is no prerequisite for the course which has a capacity of 30 students, and it can be an elective credit for any student.
"I would welcome anyone from any walk of life on campus, man or woman," Morton said.
"I would love to get ten, fifteen students in it." Morton said.
He said his area of interest within the men's movement was in critical studies of masculinity — a progressive wing of the movement resulting from and supporting the women's
Morton wrote a dissertation on the United States and British men's movements.
movement.
"The idea is to think of masculinity as something historical, something that changes over time according to the prevailing or dominant paradigm of the time." Morton said.
The liberal left are anti-sexist and pro-feminist men, and the conservative right includes evangelical Christians such as the Promise Keepers. The middle group focuses on examining masculinity and its separate existence apart from femininity.
He said there were three major parts to the men's movement.
"I think it's really important that men especially, and women as well, work critically about gender: interrogate themselves and the world about it." Morton said.
Morton will require a research project that will dominate the class work for the second half of the semester. Each student will examine the roles of gender in a part of college life.
Studies in Masculinity will examine all three views but will focus on critical studies of masculinity.
The course is only offered for the fall 1986 semester, but Morton would like to extend its existence if students show interest in the subject.
"Why is it, for example, that there
is a kind of cultural acceptance for the violence of football along with the public displays of affection of football'
— patting each other on the butt on the field?” he asked. “Of course the idea is not simply to criticize but to understand what part it plays on our culture.”
Studies in Masculinity is a 300-level course in Humanities and Western Civilization.
Jim Leiker, senior instructor of the Humanities and Western Civilization department, said HWC 300 courses were a product of the union of the Humanities and Western Civilization departments at the beginning of fall semester 1997.
"HWC 300 has been an ongoing topics-oriented course." Leiker said.
Lelker said HWC 300 was an opportunity for graduate students to create a one-time course. The department's 27 GTAs have varying backgrounds and special interests, he said.
Task force to study colleges
Search begins for improvements in higher education
The Governor's Task Force on Higher Education Structure for Excellence, will use state legislators, Board of Regents members and university and college representatives to submit a detailed report on possible improvements to university, community college and vocational school governance.
Improvements in higher education will be at the forefront of discussion when a new state task force begins work next Monday.
Gov. Bill Graves formed the task force in July and
By Jason Pearce
Kansan staff writer
"The governor asked the task force to submit a thoughtful report to assure that each unit of higher education provide measurable results," Havner said. "We also want to make sure that unnecessary duplication of programs and barriers of cooperation are eliminated."
Ken Hawner, vice chairman of the Kansas Board of Regents and task force member, said the task force would look at ways to improve the coordination and effectiveness of higher education. This will include ways that students can move from community colleges to universities more smoothly.
Earlier this year a bill died in the Senate that would have started a Council on Higher Education and overseen the six

state universities, 19 community colleges, and 16 vocational schools. It died when lawmakers began to see problems with financing the council. The council, which had a price tag of $140 million, would have eliminated the Board of Regents.
When the Legislature reconvenes in January, it will use the report from the task force as a starting point for implementing any changes.
Barb Conant, director of communications for the Kansas Board of Regents, said the task force would not propose taking direct control of the 19 community colleges in the state.
"They recognize how important the local governing bodies of the community colleges are," Conant said.

TV show leads to arrest
A Lawrence resident who was featured as a Crime Stoppers most wanted fugitive was arrested Thursday in Topeka on a federal warrant for dangerous drugs.
Ray Lee D'Armond Jr. was arrested by deputies from the U.S. Marshal's Office and the Shawnee County Sheriff's Department after an anonymous tip was phoned in by someone who recognized him from Crime Stoppers.
D'Armond was profiled Aug. 13 on Chan nel 6 News and on Aug. 14 in the Lawrence Journal-World, in an effort to capture him in connection with a recent drug bust
"It worked like a charm," said Officer David Anderson of the Lawrence Police
Department.
After his arrest, D'Armond was taken to the Shawnee County Jail, where he was held for one day. He was then taken into custody by U.S., Marshals.

Sgt. Joel Manzanares of the Shawnee County Department of Corrections said that D'Armond was probably taken to Leavenworth.
Scholarship hall heats up
The 48 men that live in Grace Pearson scholarship hall did not have to leave their room to bask in the heat during the week end.
As one of only three scholarship halls with a central air-conditioning unit, Grace Pearson residents felt its absence when it broke Friday night.
Bryan King, director of Grace Pearson,
said that the unit would not turn on at all
during the weekend, yet he did not know
why.
"It could have burned out from overuse, or it could just be an electric thing," he said. "It just stopped clicking on."
Ken Stoner, director of student housing,
said that the hall did not file a maintenance report during the weekend so that it could be fixed immediately. He said that it should be taken care of today.
Grace Pearson has had other problems with its air conditioner in the past, said Adam Habluelzetel, Clay Center senior and resident. Habluetzel, who has lived in Grace Pearson for the past three years and was hall proctor last year, said that the unit was probably just old.
"The air-conditioner problems are off and on, but we don't have them too often," he said. "I've just been going to the Union whenever I want to study, or I go somewhere where it's cool."
Residents have not been complaining about the heat too much, said Mark Bradshaw. Walnut junior and resident.
"it's been a minor inconvenience, but it
doesn't impede our studies or anything." Bradshaw said. "We grumble a little bit, but we're not too bad.

Phone company workers strike for higher wages
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Workers at Southern New England Telecommunications went on strike early Sunday morning, after hours of negotiations failed to bring a deal on higher wages for 6,300 workers.
Paul Hongo, a negotiator for the Communications Workers of America, said operators, linesmen, customer service representatives and other workers should walk off the job immediately.
SNET is the nation's oldest independent telephone company, serving nearly all of Connecticut's 3 million residents.
The major sticking points continue to be wages that the union says are 20 percent to 25 percent below industry standards, and a two-tier wage system that has some workers earning less money than others who do the same job.
The union said it was willing to continue talks while workers joined the picket lines, but SNET rejected the idea and immediately broke off talks. SNET had wanted to extend the expired contract another day while talks continued.
SNET spokeswoman Beverly Levy said SNET has no plans to resume negotiations as long as the union is on strike.
Managers had been assigned to take over their workers' duties in the event of a strike, although they acknowledged there would be far fewer people on the job. The company said most normal telephone calls should not be affected by the strike, because systems are automated.

Former head of Iranian prisons assassinated
TEHRAN, Iran — A former Iranian chief prosecutor was shot dead Sunday by unidentified assailants, the Islamic Republic News Agency reported.
Customers could see delays, however, when using directory assistance, calling
Assadallah Lajevardi, who also was a former head of Iran's prison system, was killed by two gunmen in his drapery shop in Tehran's grand bazaar, the agency said.
Police arrested one of the gunmen. The fate of the other gunman was not immediately known. The Mujahedee Khalq opposition group, based in Baghdad, Iraq, claimed responsibility in a statement telephoned in to The Associated Press office in Cairo, Egypt.
The group said the attack was timed to coincide with the 1988 "summary executions" of hundreds of political prisoners in Tehran's Evin Prison, which Lajevardi oversaw at the time.
State-run Iranian television praised the hard-line Lajevardi as an ardent supporter of the late spiritual leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and iran's current leader, Avatollah Ali Khamenei.
Before the 1979 revolution, Lajevardi was involved in the bombing of the Tehran offices of El AI, the Israel state airlines. He also was jailed for two years for his part in an assassination attempt on a former Iranian prime minister in 1965.
Wheatstock plagued by weak turnout
By Angela Johnson Kansan staff writer
It was no Woodstock. The crowd numbers were far below what was expected for Wheatstock '98, but the bands played on.
Ben Wetteborn and Janet Moore, Baldwin City freshmen, said the lack of publicity was the reason for the poor showing.
Student Union Activities organized Wheatstock '98 as part of Hawk Week, a week of activities designed to introduce students to the University. Three Lawrence bands performed at the outdoor concert at the bottom of Campanile hill. Unfortunately, there was low turnout.
The bands that played at the concert, which started at 5 p.m. and ended at 8 p.m., were The L.A. Ramblers, The Glitterkicks and The Nor man 360.
Matt Dunehoo, live music coordinator for SUA, disagreed that publicity was one of the factors contributing to the low turnout.
Dunethoo said that today's students seem to need more motivation to go out.
"In talking with people involved in the Lawrence music scene, it seems like, four or five years ago, people just came to shows. Kill Creek could always sell out The Bottleneck. It was an electric time for music," he said.
Leah Humphrey, feature films coordinator for SUA, said that the crowd grew to about 50 as the night went on. By the time the last band, The Norman 360, played, a few people were dancing.
the calling.
"The Norman 360 brought more people in," Humphrey said. "That band is more well known than the others, and knowing that they were the last band playing, people decided to wait awhile."
Dunehoo said that Wheatstock was not a high-stakes event where tickets had to be sold. He said he wasn't really bothered by the low turnout but felt bad for the bands and the people who helped set the show up.
"Any event where people have invested time and money, there's going to be a risk involved," he said. "When it's a hit, it's big. When it's not, you learn from it."
A live music committee will meet tonight at 7 p.m. at the Oread Room in the Kansas Union, Duneoo said. This is the first meeting of the year, and the meetings will continue every Monday throughout the year. The meetings are open to everyone.
As more students become familiar with SUA, the numbers at live music events will grow stronger, Dunehoo said.
"With live music, there is unlimited potential," he said. "Part of it is recognizing SUA as a venue for live music."

Hillel reaches out to potential members
By Steph Brower Kansan staff writer
The categories were similar to MTV's Singled Out—hair, music, first date, college degree and personality. But when the first challenge was to read romantically to the male contestant in Hebrew, it became evident that Hillel's version of the game was a bit different.
Hillel, a campus Jewish students' organization, sponsored the game yesterday as an ice-breaker to attract new members.
Members of the Hillel organization gathered at Veteran's Park, 19th and Louisiana, to participate in a Jewish version of Singled Out. The event took place yesterday, providing a place for both freshmen and older students to meet and minute. Photo by Corie Waters/KANSAN
In an effort to fight declining membership, the organization hired 1998 graduate Dana Blecher through the Hillel-Steinhard Jewish Campus Service Corps Fellowship.
The fellowship started five years ago at 20 universities and has grown to serve 90 schools across the country. Blecher is the first fellow at the University of Kansas. She was approached about the position by Steven Jacobson, executive director of Hillel, at the end of last school year. The two had met in a study-abroad program in Israel.
As a fellow, Bleacher will spend the next 11 months reaching out to Jewish students on campus and trying to get them to attend Hillel events. She said she planned to do this by
sponsoring more fun activities like Jewish Singled Out.
"They needed a creative, more youthful outlook," Blecher said.
"I want to talk to the students and see what they want to do," she said. "A lot of it is getting to know the students, going to coffee, hanging out."
Blecher said that when she was a student, she wasn't involved in Hillet. She said the image of the group was one of "nerdy Jewish people." Through her position, she wants to change that image and be someone Jewish students at KU can approach.
Stacy Greenbaum, Overland Park freshman, appreciated Bleher's initial efforts. Greenbaum said that she was not as religious as some of Hillel's members but that she liked the low-pressure atmosphere of the event.
"I't hard coming in not being too observant," Greenbaum said. "The social things definitely bridge the gap."
The religious understores of the organization are what have scared people off in the past, said David Radom. St. Joseph. Mich., senior.
"Too often, people think Hillel is religious," he said. "Since the majority of people are secular, Hillel has to find common ground."
Random said that although religion is still an aspect of the group, the main purpose is to unite Jewish students.
"It's important for freshman to realize there are people here like you," he said.
Hillel's membership has fluctuated over the years, Radom said, with recent years being especially low. He said he is confident that Blecher will succeed in battling that problem.
He said the day's activities were important because of the need to attract freshmen.
Megan Cohen, St. Louis freshman, and Emily Kochman, Memphis freshman, both said they wanted to be a part of Hillel and Lawrence's Jewish community.
"When you come to a small town like this and you're Jewish, it's nice to have people around you," Cohen said.
Professors meet and greet to educate students

Kenneth Audus, professor of chemistry and Richard Hardin, chairman of the English department, are two of the 50 professors participating in Meet a Professor, a week-long program that starts today. The program is organized by the Office of New Student Orientation.
Audus and Hardin will act as the guest experts on a mock Springer set, with an audience of students to fire questions, said Irene Ratzlaff, Moundridge senior and residence assistant at
The Meet a Professor program targets freshmen living in residence halls, scholarship halls, oncampus apartments, sororities and fraternities.
"It is helpful for students to see that professors are people too and for professors to see the students in their real environment," said Mary Ryan, director of New Student Orientation.
Margaret Arnold, associate professor of English, has volunteered for the program for more than 10 years and said she found it interesting to meet students informally.
"I let them know what the faculty are willing to do for the students," Arnold said.
Arnold will be participating in a dinner and talk at Douthart Scholarship Hall.
For other professors, it is an
opportunity to forewarn students before reality sinks in after their first exam.
"Don't say 'I'll study on weekends. Only jerk's study on Friday and super-jerks study on Saturday,'" said Tom Mulinazzi, associate dean of the School of Engineering. "Do your work through the week."
This year, for the first time, non-traditional students can also meet a professor for lunch and discussion. Arthur Skidmore, associate professor of philosophy, will speak to students from 11:45 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. Aug.25 at the Kansas Union.
Although the program can be helpful to freshmen, not all students turn up for the discussion.
"A lot of people don't feel they need to come," Arnold said. "But the few enthusiastic ones who come definitely stand a benefit."
MEET A PROFESSOR
**What:** A program designed to allow new students to meet professors in an informal setting.
When:Today through Friday.
Where: Professors will meet students at residence halls, scholarship halls, on-campus apartments, fraternities and sororites.
Ryan said that in the future, the Meet a Professor program might be pushed back a couple of weeks to allow students to adapt to campus life.
Mulinazizi said that the best time to conduct the program would be a little into the semester after the first round of tests have been held and results have come in.
"That is the time they feel they are hit by a two-by-four," he said.

WAR IS HELL...
BUT IT'S BETTER THAN IMPEACHMENT

Higher teacher salaries keep, draw, reward University's prized assets
The Kansas Board of Regents and leaders of the regents schools are discussing the faculty salaries. Regents universities, including Kansas University, pay their professors less than many peer schools. By allotting more money to faculty salaries, the University would be making a worthwhile investment in its pool of educators.
Peer schools are similar in size and mission. Our University' peers are the Universities of Colorado, Iowa, North Carolina, Oklahoma and Oregon. Only Oklahoma and Oregon universities pay their faculty less than the University of Kansas average salary of $55,818. Averages include the salaries of full-time professors, associate professors, assistant professors and instructors.
Higher salaries would mean that the
the Kansas Board of Regents should raise faculty salaries to match peer institutions.
faculty would be rewarded for their efforts and would provide a motivation to stay at the University, rather than pursuing high-paid jobs elsewhere.
Programs such as the W.T. Kemper Fellowships for Teaching Excellence provide some encouragement for faculty to stay. The Fellowship awards $5,000 to 20 instructors each year for excellence in teaching.
But programs that provide monetary compensation for only a few teachers are not enough. Improving education in the state by raising faculty salaries would
keep more excellent educators in the state as well as draw them to the state. As a result, students who might have searched elsewhere for an education might see an incentive to stay in-state.
Convincing taxpayers that investing more money in faculty salaries will be a difficult job. States such as Missouri use revenue from gambling to finacie professors' salaries, which at the University of Missouri average $5,000 more than the University of Kansas. Kansans will have to make the sacrifice somewhere else to bring salaries up to par.
It may take a bite out of the taxpayers' pockets right now, raising salaries at the University and other Regents schools is a worthwhile investment. Monetary incentive is the best way to retain quality faculty.

Groups help to provide niche
These greek, academic, cultural political, recreational, religious, service and social groups are the heart and soul of our University.
The University Daily Kansan Editorial Board welcomes freshmen on behalf of the 381 different clubs and organizations registered at the University.
The groups are composed of our most active students, and would love nothing more than your participation.
At the Student Union Activities office on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union, there are yellow fliers listing the groups — everything from the Neuroscience Club to the Nike Swoosh Team.
There is something there for everyone. A student need only pick a horizon, and there will be an organization there to broaden it.
Students should get involved in the University by joining organizations.
These organizations allow students with similar and specific interests to meet. Students can learn about their heritage, become politically active and even come to decide on careers or majors.
But more important than providing advice about a profession or opportunities for artistic, intellectual or physical exercise, these organizations make great excuses to meet people.
they know nothing but which may appeal to them anyway.
The chance to form friendships with individuals who have different interests than your own may be a college campus' greatest asset.
Membership in these groups also provides a sense of community in a sometimes-daunting university environment of nearly 25,000 students.
Being able to walk down Jayhawk Boulevard, saying hello to friends and acquaintances that pass by, makes the University seem much smaller.
A student that joins a few of the organizations on the SUA list will know that feeling in no time. Student should look at the list, get involved and feel more a part of the University than a customer of it.

Perspective
Peace, love preached but violence employed
A after the bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya, and in Tanzania, in which hundreds of human beings were killed and thousands wounded, a group of people calling themselves "Muslims for the Liberation of Holy Places" claimed responsibility for the destruction.
Donato Fhunsu
opinion@kansan.com
As if that were not enough, less than two weeks after these twin bombings, the U.S. armed forces, wanting to be second to none, had their own version of twin bombings. They launched about 50 Tomahawk cruise missiles to targets in Afghanistan and 25 to a target in Sudan. The missiles cost $1 million apiece, which means at least $75
1
million was spent in less than an hour to break a few stones and kill a few human beings.
The whole situation seemed crazy to me. Why could all these human beings, who all look human to me, not get along? One answer came in the form of a fatwa, or religious edict. "We—with God's help — call on every Muslim who believes in God and wishes to be rewarded to comply with God's order to kill the Americans and plunder their money wherever and whenever they find it."
Another answer came to me through this announcement by an American leader: "Our target was terror." Another American leader said that the U.S. strikes were part of an ongoing fight against terrorism and that Americans should not think it would be won easily. Fight. War.
Everywhere I looked, there was a war. War on terrorism, drugs, violence, poverty, AIDS. War against communism, socialism, capitalism, religious fundamentalism ... war, war and war. All these wars were between two main camps: Us vs. Them, and both Us and Them had God on their side. I even found this motto: "In God we trust." I wondered what was this inconsistent Divine Monster which was so divided against itself that it was fighting on opposing camps at
the same time. Or was it possible that, for selfish reasons, some people wanted to hate and destroy their fellow humans. They needed a face-saving excuse. God was the perfect excuse and so they pinned it on God?
This was an interesting possibility because the God some of us know is a God of Love, not a big Divine Puppet manipulated to fit people's petty agendas of hate. As I struggled with these issues, I checked two books: The Holy Bible and the Holy Koran. These books constituted the Word of God to the People of the Book, the Jews, the Christians, and the Muslims — a great portion of humanity. Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad were the messengers who brought the light of the wisdom of God to all these people. All of them, as brothers and sisters, essentially received this same simple but powerful message: "God is love. Therefore, love God with all your life, and love your neighbor as yourself." If it's that simple, why have we complicated the situation?
As I thought about it, I realized that in the School of Life, human beings in general have never really lived up to the teachings given to them. Spiritual impressions, whether originally conveyed by Krishna, Buddha, Moses, Christ or Muhammad have not yet been expressed as it was hoped. The teachings of these great luminaries have been distorted, misinterpreted and misapplied. Even though the luminaries lived and taught us love, understanding, and forgiveness, for generations, we have been living and teaching our children hate, prejudices and revenge. Hate and revenge characterize much of our individual, public and international relationships, and generation after generation, we perpetuate the cycle of hate and violence. We hate ourselves and our neighbors; our neighbors hate themselves and us, and we all blackmail God to take our side. We should decide to break the cycle of hate and violence now and free all the children of the world from our folly. Tomorrow's generations have the right to be free from the fear of hate.

Government points to injustice, reacts unjustly
They bombed us, so we bombed them. The cheers of good riddance surge through the minds of all Americans with decent hearts, a just God and an understanding of real retribution.
Our attack on the terrorist organizations of the world through symbolic bombing reminds me of a scene in the movie Untouchables. It goes something like this: If he hits you with his fist, you hit him with a baseball bat, if he pulls a knife, you pull a gun. If they put one of yours in a hospital, you put one of theirs in a morgue.

get salvation and the murdererse get the guillotine. Is that really the way it is? Or are we really the savage beasts that we always claim the other guys are?
The Russians were in the 80s when the fundamentalist Arabs are in the 90s. Our mortal foes. I'll tell you what. Let me give you a domestic analogy about cultural and racial conflict.
There have been a lot of shootings in your neighborhood. It is a gang war that has been going on for more than a year. The police have tried to figure out what the motive for the killings has been, but they have only come up with one word: revenge.
One day, a cop gets shot. He dies in the field. The police department fumes. They want blood, quick,ick blood. It is a black neighborhood. It is "them" again. "The savages!" the police chief screams in a briefing room before the big "raid."
The police have a suspect. He is little more than a kid, 17 years old. He has seen his best friend and his older brother die in this gang war that has been going on since before he could remember. The thought of his rival gang
stirs deep emotions of hatred, loss and fear. What's worse is that the police always are getting involved in his affair. They usually seem to him to side with his enemies. Plus, they have a superiority complex. He knows that the recent cop shooting has got them in an uproar. They want blood.
They want bloom one morning, half-asleep when he jolts up in bed because of the sound of what seems to be an elephant tearing a hole in his wall. Twelve cops, fully armed and armored rush into his room and as he shakes in confusion suspense they put 12 decisive holes in his chest. He twitches once or twice and dies. The police chief stands on the steps of the house and proclaims that justice was served. Was it? Or did they just kill an innocent man? No one would ever know. He, the savage, the gangster, the alleged murderer, is dead, and people who side with the police force say that the world is better without the kid anyway.
He never had due process. He never got to tell his side of the story. He never even had the luxury of actually getting convicted of a crime. He was just "the enemy" and most people never even questioned the powers that be to ask them whether they had the right to take his life. Did they?
Many of you may have realized that this turn of events is both immoral and illegal. How then, if we don't tolerate this sort of action on a national scale can we tolerate it on an international scale? Human rights means all humans, not just the ones you think are like you.
we had more than enough of taking the government's word for the morality and inherent rightness in their actions. From now on, they need to prove to me that what they are actually doing is right. Otherwise, I will never believe them and never champion them as the keepers of moral sanction.
Never take the news at face value, ever.

President deserves place on pedestal
Chad Bettes did an excellent job of reporting the various reactions of students regarding the "Clinton Flasco," in a University Daily Kansan article last Thursday. Allan Cigler, professor of political science, said that this is a wakeup call because we've tried to put the office on a pedestal." First of all, we haven't "tried" to put the office on a pedestal. The Office of the Presidency has been on a pedestal from day one. It was created to be so. It is the highest office in the land. Sadly, there have been men who have occupied this great Office whose conduct has not mirrored what this nation stands.
America has always been a Christian nation. It still is. I don't care what the ACLU
To those who say: as long as Clinton does his job, we should not care about about his private life — I don't buy that and neither should you. Some voted for Clinton strictly for his political ability to get the job done, but I suspect that most of us voted for him because we thought he truly cared about the nation and because he said he had "strong family values." We thought that his family values were similar to ours.
thinks of that. I believe that when a person runs for the office of the Presidency, he is saying that he will mirror the values of the people. The majority of American families base their family value system on the Judeo-Christian faith. It seems to me some of us have been convinced that it's not important to adhere to any value system or have just forgot that we once had a value system. It is time for Americans to wake up and take stock of what family values they believe in.

School of Nursing offers online degree program
By Sue Franke
Kansan staff writer
Nursing students in Garden City do not have to leave their homes to go to class.
This fall, The University of Kansas Medical Center's School of Nursing became one of the first in the country to offer an online master of science nursing degree, said Helen Connors, associate dean for academic affairs for the School of Nursing.
Through an interactive virtual classroom, nurses participate in online discussion groups. They email class members or faculty members with questions. They solve ethical problems in self-paced learning scenarios.
"Each week, the nurses get part of storyline and have to make decisions," said Linda Davies, director of academic support for the Med Center and manager of the virtual classroom. "For example, a nurse practitioner is in the office alone. The
doctor is out of town and a child shows up with a head injury and is not with a parent — what do Kansas and Missouri laws say about treating that child? Instead of a dry lecture on what the law says, it's put into a storytelling format."
Before the program began on the Internet, the nursing school used interactive television to educate nurse practitioners in rural, underserved areas of Kansas, which required students to go to a designated site for class.
In 1995, the School of Nursing selected Garden City as a test site for Internet classes and loaned students computers to try it out, she said.
"We had 10 students in the first program in 1995 and we have approximately 60 students this semester in
Internet courses," she said.
The online program also opens the door to higher education for students west of Topeka who have little access to classes to complete a bachelor's or master's degree.
The online program is geared toward registered nurses who don't yet have their bachelor's degree or for students who have nurse practitioner certifications and want to complete their master's degrees online. Three graduate core courses and one required undergraduate course currently are being taught on the Internet this fall. Additional courses are in various stages of readiness for the Internet but will be ready as students progress through the program, Connors said.
She said that the program was increasingly important because after 2001, all nurses in Kansas will be required to have a master's degree for advanced practice nursing.
Wasted eats are soil's treat
Kansan staff writer
By Liz Wristen
Meal leftovers may have a future at the University of Kansas.
Mike Richardson, director of facilities operations, said that by using the waste on campus, the University could save money by not having to pay for the waste to be taken to landfills and it would also improve University landscaping.
"I would like to see as little as possible material taken to land-fills," Richardson said. "Using the compost material is a viable alternative because it provides a better
usage of materials that would otherwise be dumped."
The compost has been used in flower beds and other landscaping throughout the campus.
The project expanded last spring when Grace Pearson Scholarship Hall joined the effort by donating its food waste to the project.
Victoria Silva, environmental specialist for the Department of Environment, Health & Safety, said she hoped the project will be even more successful in the future.
"Right now we have a limit of a half-acre that can be used for the pilot project." Silva said. "We're really hoping that we can expand the project and achieve more student interest."
The project site, which is located almost directly south of the KANU radio tower on West Campus, was

Museum to install bee run, camera inside of exhibit
By Julio M. Sachs
Kansan staff writer
Excitement is buzzing in the Natural History Museum.
The museum is in the process of remodeling its live-bee exhibit, said Thomas Swearingen, museum exhibits director.
Changes to the exhibit will include the placement of a video camera inside the hive, Swearingen said. The camera will capture activities of the bees that visitors can not normally see.
The camera cost about $1,800 and was purchased with private donations, said Brad Kemp, assistant director of public affairs at the museum.
Visitors will be able to view the camera's recordings on two television monitors that also will be added to the exhibit. Swearingen said that these monitors would greatly magnify the size of the bees and that they would enable easier viewing inside the hive.
"I think it's going to be terrific to see 50 times the life-size view,"
Kemp said. "I think it's going to increase the popularity with kids."
Now, the bee exhibit does not allow viewers to observe many of the activities in the hive because the area where the bees lay their eggs and store honey is hidden from view. Swearingen said.
Some of the featured activities that may be viewed on the monitors include the queen bee laying her eggs and the hatching of her eggs.
"People will see more activity in the new beehive than in the old hive," Swearingen said. "The old hive has been very successful, but so much activity for the bees is hidden because of the way the old hive was built."
The new beehive will be a more educational experience for visitors of all ages, Swearingen said.
Also to be remodeled is the bee run, which Swearingen said is popular with children. The run enables the bees to leave the hive to gather pollen outside.
Final costs for the entire exhibit are not yet known, Swearingen said.
Mosasaur stalks prey again at museum
The new beehive should be completed in a couple of months, Kemp said.
Prehistoric lizard was native Kansan
By Julio M. Sachs
Kansan staff writer
Diving down into the depths of the Natural History Museum rotunda, the mosasaur stalks its unlucky prey — a prehistoric fish.
Evoking many positive reactions, the 60-foot sea lizard, the largest of its kind, is expected to be a success.
"Each museum has to have a trademark in some way," said Thomas Swearingen, director of
exhibits. "I think this will be a good one."
The mosasaur was a native Kansas reptile, which makes the exhibit special for the museum.
Because of its size, the museum expects the mosasaur to draw people to other parts of the museum.
"It not only draws you into the downstairs, but it draws you into the balcony." Swearingen said.
The remains of the mosasaur were uncovered in 1911 by Charles Bunker, said Larry Martin, curator of the museum. The mosasaur bones were found in Sharon Springs near Scott City.
Completion of the mosasaur has taken about four and a half months.
Belgium is the only other place
Swearingen said working on the project was a learning experience.
"In order for me to put it together, I had to learn about the mosasaurus themselves," he said.
Learning how the creature moved was important when designing the exhibit.
Scientists and researchers had to discover how the creature appeared while diving to replicate that in the exhibit, Martin
said.
While attaching the pieces of the exhibit, Swearingen said he ran into a few problems. Making the mosaasaur seem as lifelike as possible was one of them.
"We tried to make it be realistic from every angle," Swearingen said. "If it didn't look good from one angle, it wasn't right. We had to readjust a few things a couple of times."
Although there were a few minor complications, building the mosaaur was a positive experience, he said.
"I've always wanted to do something like this," Swearingen said.

New University police officer ready for duty
By Kelli Rayborn
Kanson staff writer
One of the University's newest police officers can't wait to get onto the streets.
But for now, she'll have to spend a few more weeks behind a desk.
Dusty Wilson is one of four new police officers training to serve with the KU Public Safety Office.
"I'm not an office-type person." Wilson said. "I am very much looking forward to getting out on the street. The next eight weeks will probably seem like a year."
During their first two weeks, they were trained to operate firearms, file reports and follow office procedures. Wilson's three colleagues left to spend eight weeks at the police academy. Wilson, who has been a police officer for more than three years, did not need to go to academy again.
Wilson and three rookie officers have been with the department since July 27. They were hired to replace officers that left the department or retired during the last four years.
Until the trainees return, Wilson is working in the community education and media unit at the Public
Safety Office. When the other new officers return, they and Wilson will undergo another month of training before they begin to patrol campus with other officers, Wilson said.
Wilson's interest in being a police officer is longstanding.
"I have always wanted to be in law enforcement," she said.
She began her career in law enforcement as a dispatcher in Ottawa. At the time, Wilson was 17 and still a student at Ottawa High School.
"It was exciting being a dispatcher." Wilson said.
Wilson said that she enjoyed her time in Baldwin but that she was looking forward to a little more action at the University.
However, not all of Wilson's dealings with people as a police officer have been pleasant or easy.
"It was really quiet in Baldwin. It was too slow-paced for me," she said.
"There are more people to work with and more to be involved with here. I love to deal with people."
As soon as she was 21, the minimum age for a police officer, Wilson applied for a position with the police department in Baldwin.
"Domestic violence is hard to deal with," Wilson said. "You have to try to understand everybody's sides of the story."
Her job in responding to domestic violence calls also was complicated by the presence of children, Wilson said.
"There were a lot of cases in Baldwin with kids present," she said. "They say 'Why are mommy and daddy fighting?' or 'Don't take my mom to jail.' That's one of the hardest things."
Wilson may not face as many of those situations with the KU police department, at which she will serve as a campus patrol officer when her training is complete. In the meantime, Wilson is becoming familiar with the campus she'll help keep safe.
Like a freshman, Wilson is ready to get into the swing of things at the University.
"I know the basics and I can find my way around," Wilson said, "but I don't really know campus yet. I'm like a freshman."
"I'm looking forward to when the other officers get back," Wilson said. "Street patrol is what I'm really waiting on."

Professors learn to tickle the ivories
By Pallavi Agarwal Kansan staff writer
When professors teach students, it's called imparting education.
When a student teaches professors, it's called making music. At least, that's what Pam Haynes hopes she is achieving.
Haynes, a graduate assistant with the department of music and dance at the University of Kansas, gives piano lessons to University professors as part of a campus-community piano program sponsored by the piano division of the department.
Haynes was offered the opportunity as part of the department's efforts to expose its graduate students to pupils of all ages and levels, said Chris Hepp, associate professor of music and dance.
Classes are open to University faculty members and staff only. Newcomers and returning stu
dents are taught separately. Classes, which begin Aug. 31, are held twice a week for 10 weeks.
Victor Wallace, professor of computer science, has been taking the piano lessons for two and a half years.
"I have been interested in playing the piano for a long time, so when I happened to find my mother's piano after her death, I decided to do it." he said.
Wallace, who had no piano-playing experience before enrolling in the course, said he found the relaxation of playing music and the slow pace of the class very comforting.
"A lot of piano teachers are geared to little kids," he said. "This is low pressure. Nobody is after me except for myself."
The class teaches students how to read music and basic keyboard skills.
"We also sing folk tunes and learn how to handle scales and
chords." Haynes said.
Haynes has been teaching piano since she was 15. She said that teaching a class of adults who also happen to be professors can be a little daunting.
"Well, it is (intimidating) at the start of the class," she said. "But then we are aware of where each one is in life and respect that."
Wallace said that learning to play the piano reminded him of the rigors of learning and taught him something about himself.
"I noticed that computer scientists and mathematicians tend to be musicians," he said. "There are common patterns in part of what they both enjoy."
To others, it has reinforced learning.
"There is an interrelation of the arts and if you know one medium you can understand another medium," said Priscilla McKinney, an English lecturer with a degree in fine arts.
White's mementos found
By Julie M. Sachs
Kansan staff writer
While rewiring the workroom in Stauffer-Flint Hall this summer, electricians stumbled onto a piece of history.
A box found in the back room contained mementos of the late Emporia Gazette editor, William Allen White, for whom the School of Journalism is named.
The mementos discovered include several pictures and newspaper clippings.
A pamphlet of White's Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial, "What's the Matter With Kansas" also was found.
After sorting through the items, Yvonne Martinez, library assistant at the Stauffer-Flint reading room, said she thought that the items needed to be relocated.
"I started getting really nervous having it here," she said. "I was really leery about having people put their fingers on it."
One of the items that Martinez said she decided to keep at Stauffer-Flint was a Christmas picture of White with his family and President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
The remaining items were relocated to the Kansas Collection in the Spencer Research library.
Keeping the items permanently in Stauffer-Flint was not an option.
"We don't have the room here," Martinez said. "We're not environmentally safe. The Kansas Collection is temperature-controlled. We are not temperature-controlled."
Legal complications also were an issue when deciding who should get White's mementos. Because no one knows who donated the items, no one knows who can legally keep them.
The items cannot be exhibited or displayed until the donor is found. They will remain at the Kansas Collection until the issue is resolved.
The items are being reviewed at
the Kansas Collection and eventually will be cataloged, librarian Sheryl Williams said.
Many of the items discovered revealed characteristics of White.
revealed characteristics of White:
One discovery among White's things was a letter to his employees at the Gazette, Martinez said.
The letter said, "Good morning. Why don't you people get down to work sometime during the day. I was here from 5 till six and no one showed up."
The items also illustrated how respected William Allen White was by his peers.
A newsletter discovered contained the remarks of several newspaper editors about what their friend meant to them.
"There was only one William Allen White," wrote Donald J. Sterling, editor of the Portland Journal at the time of White's death."His very humility inspired respect and generated a power which he chose to invest in the social good."

City offers recycling, trash options
Waste disposal, bills challenge off-campus living
By Chris Fickott
Kansan staff writer
Students who live off campus may have more to worry about than homework, papers and exams.
These students may not know where to pay their utility bills, which day to throw out their trash or how to recycle.
Lawrence utility bills, which include water, sewer and trash, can be paid by mail, by credit card over the phone or by using the drop box at the Kansas Union.
Depending on the location, trash is picked up in Lawrence on Tuesday. Wednesdays and Thursdays.
There is no trash collection on
New Year's Day, the Fourth of July, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Memorial Day and Christmas Day.
Trash either must be bagged or placed in a refuse container by 7 a.m. on the specified pickup day. Single containers must weigh less than 65 pounds when full.
Wheeled trash carts can be rented from the city's Solid Waste Division for $2 a month for a 90-gallon container or $1.50 a month for a 65-gallon container.
Students who recently acquired new appliances or furniture and are wondering how to dispose of their old items should set up an appointment for pickup by calling the Solid Waste Division at 832-3022.
Calling the division won't reserve a curbside pickup for recyclable items such as newspapers, office paper, aluminum cans, plastic containers and glass bottles.
Students can order curbside pickup service from Eco-Services Recycling. For $5.50 a month, the company will accept aluminum, glass, tin, newspaper, magazines, office and computer paper and cardboard. Call 841-1615 for more information.
Recyclable materials also can be taken to the Wal-Mart Community Recycling Center at 3300 S. Iowa St. Recyclers can call 841-9558 to see whether their items can be recycled at the center.
There are several other centers in Lawrence that don't recycle items such as newspapers, bottles and cans and recycle and dispose of hazardous waste such as paint, motor oil and batteries. Call 832-3030 for more information.

JRP renovation plans remain on track
Education school plans to relocate in spring of 2000
By Carolyn Mollett Kansan staff writer
vev.
Contractors vying for the chance to renovate Joseph R. Pearson Hall will get to place their bids Sept. 29.
The University of Kansas submitted a construction document to the state architect's office last week for the renovation, said KU Consultant Services Manager Steve Scannell.
Scannell said the state legislature allowed a total project budget of $14.1 million. The estimated construction cost was about $12.4 million. The rest of the budget will pay for miscellaneous expenses such as asbestos abatement and a geological sur-
Edward Heck, associate dean for graduate studies at the School of Education, said if the project's costs exceed allotted funds, the School of Education would use private donations.
Scannell said the University hoped to have the renovations completed by May 2000. JRP was a residence hall until 1992, and the plans to renovate it originated in July of 1996.
"It's been a lengthy process," Scannell said.
Heck said the plan for JRP was to gut the building and start over with a new internal layout, which would be filled with faculty offices, administrative offices and space for research projects.
Plans also include an addition onto the back of the existing JRP building for the School of Education classes and labs.
Heck said he was unsure whether all of the School of Education classes could be held in
JOSEPH R. PEARSON HALL RENOVATIONS
Amount allocated by state legislature: $14.1 million
Bid date: Sept. 29
Projected date of completion: May 2000
the new building.
"That's too far ahead," Heck said.
Scannell said that to move some of the school's classes to the new building, some alternate bids would have to be awarded. Alternate bids are for work above and beyond basic renovations.
"It depends on the bids we would receive in late September." Scannell said.
Heck said that the faculty had been involved in the planning stages of the project and that they were given the opportunity to meet with the architect. The majority of faculty had agreed and accepted the proposal.
Paul Markham, assistant professor of education, agreed that his reaction was largely positive.
"It should be a good move if the renovation is done according to plan." Markham said.
He said that most faculty seemed to agree, but that the main concern was the lack of centrality on campus.
"Right now, we're sort of ideally situated with the library being right across the street," Markham said.
He said faculty looked forward to the larger office space planned at the new building.
The first floor of JRP has been used by the University since 1992. Design and Construction Management Planning Coordinator Tom Waechter said the building was used temporarily as assigned space and for storage.
Atmospheric-science labs obtain new technology
By Liz Wriston
Kansan staff writer
New technology in Malotl Hall may keep students up-to-date with scientific equipment at the University of Kansas.
Seventeen digital oscilloscopes were added to atmospheric-science laboratories and copies of a data-collecting program called LabVIEW were added to 12 classroom computers.
An oscilloscope is a device that is used for studying time-dependent electrical signals, said Bob Curry, lab director for Malott Hall.
The atmospheric science department has had a shortage of oscilloscopes. Almost a dozen scopes have been stolen, and the remaining 12 scopes are 20 to 25 years old, he said.
"The new scopes have a lot of advantages over what we have been using in the past," Curry said. "The new scopes have a whole lot of stuff not really related to physics that we are going to try and teach the students because we can with the new technology."
There are many differences between the new and old scopes, Curry said. The old scopes, which were bought in the mid-70s, weigh about 20 pounds. The new scopes weigh close to two pounds.
Another difference is that the old scopes cannot handle slow signals that move across the screen, Curry said. The new scopes can handle slow signals because of the liquid-crystal technology that the new scopes use to send the trace across the screen.
"You can essentially take a picture of a signal and hold it on the screen to study with the new scopes," Curry said. "That is one advantage of the digital scope."
The new Tektronix TDS 210 oscilloscopes offer 60 MHZ of speed, which is four-times faster than the old Tektronix T922 oscilloscopes that run at
"People come in, and the lab looks more fun, not ancient. That level, in and of itself, is important."
Alice Bean

in atmospheric science
The new oscilloscopes cost $1,100 apiece, and the money was made available to the department because of a University grant.
New computer technology for atmospheric-science classrooms also was made available for student use.
LabVIEW will allow students to gather a lot of data in a hurry, said Alice Bean, associate professor in the department of atmospheric science.
The LabVIEW technology will allow students to generate data, graphs, curves and perform calculations on spreadsheets. The program will be run on MacIntosh PowerMac computers using Microsoft Excel.
"The new technology will allow us to take data faster." Bean said. "People come in and the lab looks more fun, not ancient. That level, in and of itself, is important."
A federal grant from the National Science Foundation through the Instructional Laboratory Improvement Program made it possible for the department to purchase the LabVIEW technology. The grant was for $200,000.
The grant was made available for both the University and Haskell Indian Nations University, said Stephen Sanders, chairman of the lab committee. Seventeen LabVIEW site licenses were made available. The University received 12 copies of the LabVIEW licenses, and Haskell received the remaining five licenses.

United States denies aiming at bin Laden
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — If Saudi-born extremist Osama bin Laden were killed in further American action against his terror network, the United States would have no regrets about his death. Secretary of Defense William Cohen said Sunday.
He said no one would weep over the death of someone who was fanatical about killing innocent human beings.
"If he has declared war against the United States, which he has, and if he is part of the command and control of that terror network, then if he is in the line of fire as such, that's his problem," Cohen said.
An executive order prohibiting assassinations has been in effect since the Ford administration, and Clinton administration officials have stressed that they were not targeting bin Laden in missile attacks Aug. 20 on terrorist camps in Afghanistan. In a simultaneous attack, ship-fired U.S. cruise missiles targeted a drug-manufacturing factory in Sudan, accused by the United States of helping make chemical weapons.
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said that the attacks were aimed not at bin Laden but at his command and control facilities and generally against those who were involved in this.
Nevertheless, officials have said that the United States has entered a new phase of aggressive counterterrorism in which would-be terrorists will be pursued.
"What bin Laden did was an act of war," said Sen, Arlen Specter. "When you are at war, it's not assassination." Bin Laden's group has been blamed for bombings at the American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania that killed 257 people.
Specter, who last week asked whether the missile attacks were a means to deflect attention from Clinton's personal problems over the Monica Lewinsky affair, joined other Republicans Sunday in praising the administration for its swift action.
The intelligence community did a very good job leading up to the strikes last Thursday." Specter said.
"I think the president did exactly the right thing," said Rep. Porter Goss.
The House Intelligence Committee chairman agreed.
He said that he had been informed throughout the planning process and that his only criticism was that the factory in Sudan suspected of producing chemicals for nerve gas wasn't bombed months ago.
Defense Secretary Cohen said planning for the missile strike began 10 days before it was executed, and Clinton approved it a week before.
Sandy Berger, the White House national security adviser, said that all Clinton's advisers on security, including the secretaries of defense and state,
the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and he, recommended the operation.
"The intelligence came together very quickly," he said. "We saw we had a target of opportunity."
Newsweek, in its edition on newsstands today, said the operation, codenamed "Infinite Reach," was so secret that even people in Cohen's office weren't informed. The article said one factor cementing the decision to move ahead with the attack was an intercepted mobile-phone conversation between two of bin Laden's lieutenants that clearly implicated them in the embassy bombings.
"We had very reliable information that the embassy bombings might be only the first two of three and possibly four attacks," said Gen. Henry Shelton, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "In a matter of days it became evident that bin Laden's organization was responsible. That's what drove the attack."
Albanian entering U.S. embassy killed
The Associated Press
TIRANA, Albania — Security guards at the U.S. Embassy in Tirana shot and killed an Albanian policeman who scaled the wall of the U.S. diplomatic compound yesterday, the Interior Ministry said.
The motive of the break-in was not immediately known. But U.S. officials indicated the shooting appeared unrelated to recent reports of a possible terrorist attack against the embassy in Albania.
"We have reason to believe that this was an isolated incident of a particular person, although we are concerned about threats at all our embassies, and Tirana is clearly one of them," Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said.
The snooching came a week after 120 heavily armed Marines tightened security at the American diplomatic compound in Tirana after U.S. officials said they received credible evidence of a plan to attack the embassy.
Friday, police and intelligence
agents reportedly raided several alleged terrorist safe houses and arrested 10 foreign nationals, including some from Arab countries.
The Interior Ministry, in an official statement, said the policeman climbed the 7-foot rear wall of the embassy at about 11:45 a.m. Albanian police outside the embassy started shooting in the air to force him out, and after he fired back with a pistol, security officers shot him.
A ministry official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, identified the guards who shot the intruder as American, not Albanian.
The policeman had at least two bullet wounds, one near the heart, and died soon afterward in surgery at a nearby military hospital, doctors said.
He was identified as Shkelqim Shehu, 35, from the village of Ndroq, 10 miles west of Tirana. He was a member of a police unit in charge of security at Tirana bank.
Relatives in Ndroq said that Shehu had an extremely poor family and was depressed. Saturday night, they said, he told his mother he would not live to see age 40.

No anti-American feelings were evident among relatives or family members.
Albanian police surrounded the embassy immediately after the shooting and sealed off surrounding roads, and U.S. Marines fortified the compound.
Security at the embassy has been stepped up in recently after the bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania and again after retaliatory U.S. missile attacks on alleged terrorist sites in Sudan and Afghanistan. An evacuation of embassy staffers continued yesterday, but the Americans said it was planned and had nothing to do with the shooting.
Missile strike rallies Pakistani extremists
The Associated Press
PESHAWAR, Pakistan — Pakistani Habib ur Rehman went to neighboring Afghanistan to live under what he calls an exemplary Islamic government.
He was back in his homeland yesterday for treatment of wounds received in the U.S. attack on a suspected terrorist-training complex in Afghanistan, and he appeared even more committed to extremist Islam.
The attack has rallied hard-line Islamic groups in Pakistan. In the otherwise moderate Muslim country, they are gaining strength from the like-minded Taliban, who control most of Afghanistan.
"The Taliban government is an exemplary Islamic government," Rehman said. "That's why I went there—to live under them and see how they organize things."
The attack has prompted daily anti-American protests around Pakistan, and the city of Peshawar has had the largest and most-violent demonstrations.
In the northern city of Saidu Sharif, several groups met to call for a jihad, or holy war, against the United States.
"The Taliban have brought peace to Afghanistan," said Mohamed Ibrahim, head of the Peshawar office of Jamaat-i-Islami, a small but growing political party. "They are determined to enforce sharia (Islamic) law on Afghanistan."
In Pakistan, years of economic mismanagement and corruption have made Islamic parties' promises of order attractive.
"Our goal is the establishment of an Islamic state in Pakistan," Ibrahim said.
Yeltsin removes prime minister, fires government
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — Boris Yeltsin fired Prime Minister Sergei Kiriyenko and the rest of his government yesterday and said he was reappointing former Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin.
The surprise announcement came as Kiriyenko and the government were strug-
going to overcome one of Russia's worst economic crises since the Soviet collapse.
PATRICK W. GILBERT
The Russian president had fired Chernomyrdin and appointed the 35-year-old Kiriyenko in March, saying Russia needed new ideas and fresh leadership. Kiriyenko had barely been approved by parliament when Russia's economy went into a tailspin because of plunging world oil prices and the Asian economic crisis.

Since then, the young prime minister had been waging a losing battle to shore up the economy, defend the national currency and push reform measures through a hostile parliament dominated by communists and their allies.
Chernomyrdin, a Soviet-style bureaucrat who once headed the national gas monopoly, Gazprom, has been laying the groundwork for a presidential campaign in 2000 since his firing.
Few political analysts think Chernomyrdyn — a relatively bland and conservative figure strongly associated with an unpopular administration — could win, although he probably could count on some support from the business and banking establishment.
Kiriyenko had been holding meetings yesterday to work out measures to save Russia's banking system from default.
Yeltsin delivered the news in a terse announcement from his press service. He did not give any reason for the shift, but he has been under increasing pressure from parliament to replace the government.
The lower house of parliament, the State Duma, called Friday for Yeltsin's resignation, and all factions in parliament also had demanded that Kiriyenko step down or be fired.
"We can't afford the luxury of being a popular government," Kiriyenko said.

Entrance policy requires KUID
By Augustus Anthony Plozza
Koanan抄 writer
Bleachers will be presenting an intoxicating week of entertainment beginning today, but because of an entrance policy used by the bar, some non-University of Kansas students may not be able to take part in the festivities.
Kansan staff writer
The purpose of the event, called "Around The World Week," is to welcome back KU students and to promote the grand opening of Tailgaters, the new restaurant located in the same building as Bleachers, 804 W. 24th St. Each night has a theme based on a different part of the world.
The night club will continue to use a bar policy that went into effect last January, which requires students between the ages of 18 and 23 to present a KUID at the door or be the guest of a friend who has a KUID. Other college IDs are accepted only on game days from the school Kansas is playing. The policy is only for the night club and not for the new restaurant.
"We are the students' bar, voted best night club in town last year, so we want to keep it the students' bar," said Dannie Thompson, owner of Bleachers and Tailgaters.
Thompson said that he had learned from many years of being in the bar business that many people who cause trouble at bars are from out of
"When you're from out of town, you think you can get away with anything you want," he said. "Most KU students who come to the bar respect the bar because they know that it is the place they will come to week after week."
town.
Thompson also said that the policy would be used to verify a persons driver's license by double checking it with the KUD.
The policy excludes any Haskell Indian Nations University students who want to go to the bar but do not have a friend who has a KUID.
Some students from Haskell said they thought that they were being discriminated against after they learned about the policy.
"I think it's a bunch of B.S." Jayson Pinn, Haskell student said. "Why are they letting KU people in and not Haskell? We're all the same people."
Other Haskell students said they did not care about the policy because Bleachers is a bar that they seldom visit.
Jimmy Mitchell, Haskell student, said that he was not old enough to consume alcohol, but if he found out that it was a fun bar he would like to have the opportunity to go.
Those who have access to a KUID will be privileged to a week's worth of nighttime entertainment consisting of music, food and drink specials, and prizes that follow each nightly theme.

Thompson said he wanted to keep many of the games and prizes a secret because he wanted the students to be surprised.
Thompson said he intended to start a tradition and have this event each year during the first full week of school.
"People will go to class, but won't have as much studying to do," he said. "We think people will come out every night."
Check forgeries increasing this year
By Keith Burner Kansan staff writer
Kansan staff writer
Every year, KU students give banks headaches by misusing their checking accounts. But this year, it's not just college students who are causing the problems.
Forgers are getting better and more successful at what they do, said area bank executives.
That, coupled with a recent forgery scam that caused the Douglas County Bank to lose thousands of dollars, has prompted bank officials to look into thumb printing of noncustomers and other safety measures that could prevent such losses.
Between July 4 and Aug. 14 an unknown person wrote six checks, totaling $7,897, drawing from the
checking account of the Lawrence business Camera America, said Lawrence Police Sgt. George Wheeler.
The checks were forgeries that police and bank officials said they thought were made using a photocopier or computer.
"The sophistication is out there to produce good images of checks, and I think the time has come to maybe look into thumb printing." said Patrick Slabaugh, Douglas County Bank executive vice-president.
The procedure requires noncustomers to give their thumb prints when cashing a check, so that if the check turns out to be stolen or fraudulent, authorities will have positive identification of the person who presented it to the bank.
And thumb printing works, said Tricia Boyd, employee of Mercantile Bank, one of the few Lawrence banks to implement thumb printing.
"Basically, thumb prints are unique
to you," Boyd said. "They're nearly impossible to falsify, and we hope to deter people from even trying."
The yearly loss to forgery for Douglas County Bank has been fairly insignificant, Slabaugh said, but there has been an increase in forgeries this year.
Since it implemented thumb printing on June 8 of this year, Mercantile Bank has seen less forgery attempts, Bovd said.
Douglas County Bank is currently setting up a task force to see what can be done to reduce the amount of successful forgeries, Slabaugh said.
Slabaugh said that some of the things the task force would be looking into were ncn-customer check-cashing procedures, different training techniques for tellers, and more stringent identification requirements.
Thumb prints and multiple forms of identification may soon be required to cash a check at the Douglas County
Bank. Slabaugh said.
Although thumb printing does make identification easier, it does have some disadvantages.
One disadvantage is the cost of implementation, Boyd said.
Even though check forgery keeps getting easier, bank executives said it was still far more simple for a thief to steal valid checks and use those.
Early this month 24 checks were stolen from The Yellow House Variety Store, 1904 Massachusetts St., Lawrence police said.
Those checks were written for several thousand dollars at local businesses on Massachusetts Street, police said.
In this case there are two suspects both former female employees, police said.
Local banks warn customers to take care of their checks and bank receipts. All a forger needs is your account number and a good computer to steal your money, police said.

Offensive line improving
Players adjusting to coach's changes
By Jodi M. Smith
Kansan Sportswriter
It is not exactly a glory job, and most people do not even know their names.
The quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers get all the credit
— the big yards, their names in the newspapers and their interviews on the 6 o'clock news.
But for every play, somebody in front of those players is making all of that happen. That somebody is the offensive line.
But there are high hopes for this year's offense, and those hopes start with the line.
The Jayhawk offense was ridiculed last season after ranking last among Division I schools in total offense.
If offensive-line coach Walt Klinker were to assess the offensive line on a scale of one to 10, comparing this season with last season, he would have a decisive number in his head.
"I'd say about an eight," Klinker said.
Senior offensive guard Justin Glasgow does not think it is quite that simple.
"I don't know if I can put a number on it." Glasgow said. "Last year, offensively, we were doing a lot of good things at the end of the year. I think this year, we're just kind of building off what we ended up there and trying to progress from where we left off at the end of the season."
Senior left tackle Dan Dercher made an assessment but not as boldly as Klinker.
"From the beginning of last year to now, I think we're a seven, eight times better." Dercher said.

Saturday scrimmage rough on Jayhawks
Defensive leader others miss game
Kansan Sportswriter
By Jodi M. Smith
It was as close to a game situation as it comes.
The Kansas football team's Saturday morning scrimmage had everything an actual game holds: big plays, not-so-big plays, penalties, great hits and, most undesirably, injuries.
Freshman defensive end Justin Sands and sophomore wide receiver Eric Patterson returned to play. Patterson has a recurring ankle injury.
In a little more than one hour, trainers assisted three jawkaws off the field.
After weeks of competing for the backup quarterback spot, Junior walk-on Jay Alexander partially tore the medial-collateral ligament in one of his knees. Two days earlier, coach Terry Allen had released the
But the third Jayhawk did not return to the field.
Allen said he knew it would not be a good day when his back-up quarterback twisted his knee on a dead play.
depth chart, which named Alexander as junior Zac Wegner's back-up.
In addition to the injuries incurred during the scrimmage, two players did not play Saturday because of existing injuries.
"I'm just glad we didn't play a football game today," he said. "I guess it wasn't meant to be offensively today."
Junior running back Mitch Bowles was side-lined because of a minor ankle injury.
It is possible that Dercher will return to the lineup in time for the Jayhawks' opener against Oklahoma State on Sept. 5.
He was joined on the sideline by senior left tackle Dan Dercher, who also partially tore the medial-collateral ligament in his right knee during Friday's practice.
Dercher, who was switched from defense to offense mid-season last year, provides the offensive line with leadership.
"We lost a little communication today in senior leadership without Dercher in there." Allen said.

Commentary
Virtual world of sports games offers pure joy
This summer, I was introduced to a world where fantasy becomes reality and a land where boyhood dreams take form.
You can explore this world in your own home, on your own time, and you can take this ride whenever you please.
This titillating world offers individuals the opportunity to enhance their abilities, reach goals that before were deemed unattainable and participate in an all-out, full-contact, skin-to-skin melee.
The world is highly addictive, extremely time consuming and powerfully realistic.
This world is not new, but it is extremely improved.
This world is the Sony PlayStation, and my fantasy land exists in the realm of sports video games.
I first became a sports videogame addict in the fourth-grade when I picked up the original Atari system and played a game simply titled Basketball.
The bright glow emulating from the screen and the intense competition between childhood chums immediately struck my fancy. I

finally had found a world to which I could retreat when weather prevented me from playing real sports.
Atari soon became Nintendo, and my love affair flourished. Tecmo Bowl and R.B.I. Baseball provided me and my younger brother, Brian, with hours of entertainment and excitement.
Nintendo opened my eyes to this phenomena and prepared me to venture into the future of sports video games.
Sega elevated sports games to a level of realism that I never had imagined, and I was bewildered by the graphics, game play and actual stats that accompanied my new world.
The Sega Genesis provided me with years of pleasure and uncountable hours of enjoyment. This machine had become my friend and my companion and despite the onslaught of the more powerful systems, I stuck by my old pal.
After three years of prodding, pleading and begging, my parents conceded to the inevitable. On Christmas 1991, my family became the proud owner of the Sega Genesis.
But this all changed the first time I played NBA Live 88 on the PlayStation.
Stat-tracking seasons and the opportunity to create your own players transformed me from a mild-mannered gamer into a full-fledged junky.
Although I was excelling in soccer, basketball and football in the flesh, I was achieving much more on the screen.
I won the Super Bowl with the lowly Atlanta Falcons. I directed a band of former Iowa and Iowa State basketball players to the NBA title. I helped bring the Stanley Cup to Anaheim. I even captured the World Cup with the United States.
Electronic Arts, more commonly known as EA Sports, developed such games as Madden Football, NBA Live, FIFA Soccer and NHL Hockey and pushed the envelope in gaming excellence.
I had seen the other sports games offered on the PlayStation and the Nintendo 64, but not a one of those games had swayed me to abandon my Sega.
But from the opening sequence to the final whistle, I was struck in utter disbelief as to what I saw.
Killer cross-over dribbles, explosive alley-oop dunks and all of the sights and sounds of a real NBA game reverberate through this masterpiece. Players' attributes and appearances mirror reality, and the player-creation option is somewhat erie in its effectiveness.
The user can determine the players' height, weight, hairstyle, skin color and any other talent or attribute imaginable. Average athletes can become superstars and an over-the-hill has-been can regain the step he lost.
However, my Sega was not able to regain its step, and I succumbed to the temptation of the PlayStation.
This summer the Dallas Mavericks, led by a resilient group of Old Chicago employees, ransacked the NBA and finished the regular season with an unprecedented 76-6 record.
When you indulge in the world of sports video games, any sports fantasy, well almost any, is possible. Any record can be broken, any team can be victorious and any title can be won.
The playoffs now are underway, the Mavs hold a 2-0 lead against the Houston Rockets in the first-round, and a date in the finals with the Chicago Bulls is inevitable.
The NBA title is up for grabs and in this world of wonder, anything can happen and anyone can be king.

NEW YORK — Are NBA owners obligated to pay guaranteed contracts during a lockout? That's the $800 million question to be argued today in the league's latest labor skirmish.

Players want salaries during NBA lockout
Arbitrator John Feerick, who ruled

NBA
in the Latrell Sprewell case, will hold a grievance hearing at 10 a.m. today on the union's contention that owners are liable to pay salaries to 220 players with guaranteed contracts for the upcoming season. NBA
M
ruling should come in early September.
"It's not our policy to comment on matters of pending litigation, but we have said before that the law is very clear that employees don't get paid during a lockout. That's our view," NBA chief legal officer Jeffrey Mishkin said yesterday.
There is no precedent for locked-out athletes demanding to be paid, so there will be no professional sports precedent for Feerick to use.
During the summer-long professional baseball lockout of 1995, players who missed paychecks did not file a grievance. Nor did NHL hockey players who were locked out for the first three months of the 1994-95 season.
The union is expected to argue that owners should have protected themselves by inserting lockout language into individual player contracts as baseball owners routinely do.
"These players are supposed to be paid under those contracts in virtually all circumstances," said a source close to the union, who asked not to be identified. "It (standard player contract) says you can't test positive for cocaine, you can't be out of shape. It says all kinds of things that can get the owners out of their obligation to pay. But it never says anything about a lockout."
Still, the winning side should have increased leverage when talks resume on a collective bargaining agreement to replace the one that expired July 1, the day the lockout began.
The players filed the grievance with Feerick on June 30, a few hours before the lockout commenced, claiming the owners committed an anticipatory breach of contract by announcing June 29 that they would not pay players during the lockout.
If the players were to win, there's still a chance that Feerick's verdict would not be the final word. The league has sued the union over this matter in federal court, so any award could be put on hold.
Most players are not due to receive their first paychecks until Nov. 15, but a handful were supposed to be paid this summer.

tract and reducing his suspension by 5 1/2 months after he attacked and choked Golden State Warriors coach P.J. Carlesimo at practice last December.
The NBA thought it had seen the last of Feerick in March when the arbitrator ruled against the league in the Sprewell case, reinstating the final three years of the player's con-
Leaguewide, guaranteed contracts for the 1998-99 season add up to about $800 million.
Feerick's term as the NBA's official arbitrator ended July 1, but he cited the union's last-minute filing in ruling last month that he has jurisdiction in this case.
Rather than having the hearing held amid the bad karma of the Sprewell Room at the offices of the union's lawyers, it is being held a few blocks downtown at the offices of the league's firm.
It was used again last month during the last formal bargaining session when Stern and the owners, after being amused by Karl Malone's bargaining etiquette (he shouted down everyone in the room so Suns owner Jerry Colangelo could be heard), walked out upon hearing the latest proposal from the union.
Lawyers for the league had at least one thing going for them as arguments were set to begin.
The Sprewell Room was the conference room used for the Sprewell hearing.
The season is scheduled to start Nov. 4, so a new agreement is likely needed by mid-October in order to prevent the NBA from losing its perfect record of never having lost a game to labor strife.
P
No new talks are scheduled, and none should be expected until after Feerick has ruled.

Offensive line is improving
Continued from page 1B
After struggling through the 1997 season with an offensive line that was inexperienced, the linemen are more comfortable with each other and their positions.
"Now, we have a set group that has been playing with each other for a year now," Glasow said.
Dercher, who was a 1997 mid-season addition to the offensive line when he was moved from defense to offense, helped pick up the offense.
"Once I moved over, we started doing a little better on offense towards the end of the year," Dercher said. "I think I brought a little athleticism."
Klinker knows Dercher's addition has helped his lime.
"He's just reaching his peak of performance." Klinker said.
But all the kinks of last season have not worked themselves out just yet. When coach Terry Allen entered the Jayhawk program a year ago, he brought two things with him: Klinker, his 13-year offensive line coach, and a new offensive system.
After struggling last season, the line is beginning to adjust to the new system.
Klinker said, "Last year, we struggled with a lot of things, but they're becoming to understand our system. They are 200 percent better than they were a year ago."
"To be a good offensive line, right now, communication is our biggest problem," Glasgow said. "If we can play on the same page and get in one good blocking route, we'll be a good offensive line."

Chenowith hungry for season to begin after European tour
By Brandon Krisztal
Kansan sportswriter
After a whirlwind tour through Europe consisting of basketball, four-star hotels and extensive searches for normal food, sophomore center Eric Lawrence is glad to be back in Lawrence.
Chenowith represented Kansas on the Big 12 All-Star basketball team that toured Europe from Aug. 5 to Aug. 15. The All-Stars

because it was my first time over seas," he said.
In the six games, Chenwith averaged eight points and four rebounds while shooting 44 percent from the floor and 58 percent from the free-throw line.
"First of all, I really enjoyed having Eric on the team," Dickey said. "He's an outstanding young man, and in my opinion has a great chance to be a great player. He's so big and creates so many problem."
Other big men on the team included Nebraska senior Venson Hamilton, who was the team's leading rebounder, Baylor junior Jamie Kendrick and Texas sophomore Chris Mihm. Chenowith said the European centers were not the toughest adversaries.
Texas Tech coach James Dickey coached the Big 12 All-Stars and praised Chenowith.
the referees," Chenwith said.
"The refs were so bad that you had to be patient and couldn't let the refs get on your nerves."
Chenowith led the All-Stars with 17 points in a victory against the Stevenage (England) Rebels. He scored 15 in the team's second game, against the Manchester (England) Giants. His scoring decreased during the last four games.
"I played well at the beginning because I was accustomed to the system we ran there," Chenowith said. "We kind of ran an imitation of our offense that we run here at Kansas, so I knew how to score in that offense. Then, once everybody else picked up at the end, they started scoring as much as I was."
"As far as playing the competition, the best thing I got out of it was learning to be patient with
defensively and has a nice touch facing the basket. He was a pleasure to be around."
visited. The team's hotel in Belgium was on the beach, and the hotel in Germany was on the Rhine River.
After playing six games, the team visited Paris for two days.
Although Chenowith enjoyed his trip, he was not sure that he would go back to Europe on the same type of tour.
"It was a good one-time experience," Chenwith said. "If I was chosen to play on a USA Basketball select team, I'd definitely go."
Chenowith said he had fun spending time with players from other Big 12 schools.
"The tour was good because my teammates were guys I'll be playing against, so I could pick up on some of their strengths and weaknesses." Chenwith said.
The tour of Europe ended a summer of hard work by Chenowith. He and the rest of the Jayhawks worked out in Lawrence in June.
"I think where I've improved the most is my strength," Chenowith said. "I'm at 265 right now. At the end of last season I was about 240. All my lifts have gotten better. I'm a quick stepper now. It's easier for me to run. I can hold ground in the best."
Although Raef LaFrentz and Paul Pierce have gone to the NBA, Chenowith said he did not feel
extra pressure as he looked toward his second season at Kansas.
"From the outside, it may look like there's pressure, but the only pressure I have is that which I put on myself," Chenowith said. "I'm looking to do as many good things as I can."
Early in the season, Kansas will play Kentucky, the defending national champion, in the Great Eight tournament in Chicago.
The game Chenowith said he was looking forward to the most was in the John Wooden Classic against Pepperdine. It will be played at The Pond in Anaheim, Calif., near Chenowith's home.
"That game will probably be the
pinnacle of my career, so far," Chenwith said. "To go home, that'll be awesome for me. I can see the Pond from my house, literally. I walked through the thing when they were building it, and it's just a really special building to me. My friends and family will be there, but the most important thing to me is that we win."
"A lot of teams are counting us out," Chenowith said. "A lot of teams are wondering who's going to win the Big 12. We're still Kansas, and we've worked as hard if not harder than any other team in the conference or maybe even the country in the off-season."
Chenwhen is enthusiastic about the upcoming year and thinks the Jayhawks could sneak up on some people.

College football coaches tackle new Bowl Championship Series
Commentary
System allows for match-up of No.1 vs.No.2
By Richard Rosenblatt The Associated Press
Then there's the Rose Bowl, which joins the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, the FedEx Orange Bowl and the Nokia Sugar Bowl in the bowl alliance and brings the Big Ten and Pacific-10 along with it. Along the way, the Rose Bowl found itself with another name for the first time — the Rose Bowl, presented by AT&T.
Get ready for one quirky college football season.
When Ohio State wants to be like Michigan, Tom Osborne watches Nebraska games on TV, and Florida State goes with 26-year-old Chris Weinke at quarterback, this fall could be filled with firsts.
Changes took place on campuses, too. Longtime assistant Frank Solich is in charge at Nebraska after Osborne ended his 25-year coaching career in style. His 255th victory finished off a perfect season and brought a co-national title with Michigan.
Speaking of firsts, the Bowl Championship Series emerged from the bowl alliance with a guaranteed match-up fans have been screaming for — No. 1 vs. No. 2 in the final game of the season at the Fiesta Bowlen Jan. 4 in Tempe, Ariz.
"We're going to do everything we can to keep it going." Solich said. "We'll not change a lot of things, because it makes sense not to."
Solich has plenty of company as a first-year coach. Texas dumped John Mackovic and hired Mack Brown away from North Carolina, which promoted longtime assistant Carl Torbush; Southern California fired John Robinson and went for Paul Hackett; and Arkansas ousted Danny Ford and brought former Razorback Houston Nutt back home.
Also, Eddie Robinson finally retired after 55 seasons at Grambling, and former Super Bowl MVP Doug Williams replaces Robinson to coach his alma mater.
For the first time in what seems like an eternity, Ron Powis is not the quarterback at Notre Dame; Jarious Jackson is. But of greater significance, the Golden Dome was tarnished in the off season when 66-year-old ex-assistant Joe Moore successfully sued over his 1966 dismissal by coach Bob Davie, and an internal investigation turned in

tackle Moseenthal said. "It's never be a distraction."
Joe Paterno is looking at win No. 300. If Penn State beats Southern Mississippi on Sept. 5, Paterno should become the sixth college coach to get 300 wins when the Nittany Lions play Bowling Green on Sent. 12 at State College.
Ohio State is looking to start the season at No.1 for the first time in 18 years.
"We're looking forward to the season, anxious to get it going," said Ohio State coach John Cooper. "For the first time in history, we have a system where No.1 and No.2 will meet on the field in the last game, and I'm all for that."
So is Boby Bowden, whose Seminoles are ranked second.
"Our goal every year is to be No.1 when the season ends," Bowden said. "What does that do to you? It leaves you no room for error, although maybe you get one error. The year we won, in 1993, we lost a game to Notre Dame. But if you go errorless, you get a chance to win the darned thing."
Ohio State, which had its title chances slip away in 1995 and 1996 with late losses to Michigan, hopes to duplicate its Big Ten rivals'
championship season of a year ago. The Buckeyes, though, are 1-8-1 against the Wolverines during the last 10 years.
This could be the Buckeyes' turn. Joe Germaine no longer shares the quarterback spot and could produce a Heisman-type season, especially with David Boston and Dee Miller catching his passes. Linebacker Andy Katzenmover
The Bowl Championship Series, the brainchild of SEC commissioner Roy Kramer, adds a new twist: a complex formula using polls, com-
"For the first time in history, we have a system where No.1 and No.2 will meet on the field in the last game,and I'm all for that."
John Cooper
Ohio State football coach
"I never felt so good about a sophomore quarterback," Bowden said, even though Weinke has thrown only 13 passes in eight years. "He took a couple of shots in practice and came out OK. Now, it's just a matter of gaining a little success, and he should go on from there."
leads a ferocious defense. Ohio State also has a favorable schedule after opening at West Virginia on Sept. 5.
Weinke, a high school All-Americ can who left the Seminoles in 1990 and spent six years playing baseball in the Toronto Blue Jays' system, returned to Florida State at the right time. Expected starter Dan Kendra injured his right knee in the spring game and is out for the season.
Michigan not only has to try to replace Woodson, but Rose Bowl MVP Brian Griese is gone, and either TomBryd or Drew Henson has step up for the Wolverines to have a chance to repeat.
Osborne, whose team went 49-2 with three national titles in his final four seasons, may not even attend the Huskers' opener on Aug. 29 against Louisiana Tech. He was on the Nebraska coaching staff for 36 years.
The Seminoles have a tough road to Tempe. They open against Texas A&M in the Kickoff Classic on Aug. 31 and have other non-ACC games against Florida, Miami and Southern California.

game.
Although the BCS guarantees a national title game between No.1 and No.2, there still can be a split national championship.
The USA Today/ESPN coaches' poll will crown the Fiesta Bowl winner its national champion immediately after the game. The Associated Press' poll of writers and broadcasters operates as usual, releasing its final poll on Jan. 5.
Naturally, there are two schools of thought on the new arrangement that stops short of a playoff.
"I think that controversy is not going to go away," Michigan coach Lloyd Carr said. "It's a way in which we can bring No. 1 and No. 2 together and probably please the most people."
Florida coach Steve Spurrier isn't one of them.
"I think it's so good they ought to take it to basketball, baseball, tennis and golf and make them go through it," Spurrier said. "I've never understood why we're the only sport in the world that doesn't have a playoff."
Some top teams who faltered in 1997 hope to jump back into conference races this season, including Alabama with a 4-7 record, Colorado with a 5-6 record, Miami with a 5-6 record and Texas with a 4-7 record.
Two new bowls have been added to the lineup, bringing the total to 22. There's the Music City Bowl in Nashville on Dec. 29; and a second postseason game in Honolulu, creating a doubleheader dubbed the Aloha Bowl Classics on Dec. 25.

Predictions, preview of 1998 season
By Richard Rosonblatt The Associated Press
With so much talk about the Bowl Championship Series, let's not forget there's a regular season ahead, records to break and history to make.
It all begins next week with four games and two coaching debits — Louisiana Tech at Nebraska (welcome, Frank Solich), Purdue at Southern California (welcome, Paul Hackett), Colorado State at Michigan State, and Florida State vs. Texas A&M.
Here's a look at the 1998 hotshots, hot spots, sure shots and long shots.
HEISMAN HOPES
BEEGMAN HOPES
1. Ricky Williams, BR, Texas — If
he breaks Tony Dorsett's career rushing record — he needs 1,928 yards — he's a Heisman shoo-in Teammates have to help by win ning more games than they lose.
2. Cade McNown, QB, UCLA — left-hander starts out as top quarterback candidate after leading nation in passing efficiency and Bruins to 10 wins in a row in 1997.
3. Amos Zereoue, RB, West Virginia — Tough to bring down, piles up lots of yards and touchdowns but still has to produce big numbers in big games. Biggest test is early, Sept. 5 vs. No. 1 Ohio State.
4. Tim Couch, QB, Kentucky — Can a losing team produce a Heisman winner? It's only happened once — Paul Hornung, Notre Dame (1956), but this junior has the passing touch to make a run at the trophy.
5. Dauntte Culpepper, QB, Central Florida — Have to believe his numbers will be impressive enough to earn a trip to New York. Also, the schedule's easier this time around.
IN THE HUNT: Ron Dayne, Wisconsin; Donovan McNabb, Syracuse; Kevin Faulk, LSU; Joe Germaine. Ohio State.
FAR FIVE (with an entry)
FAB FIVE (with an entry)
These guys could be Heisman candidates, but every member of this quintet is special in another way — each is capable of breaking open a game at any time and in a variety of ways. Herewith, our most exciting players to watch:
1. J.R. Redmond, TB-KR, Arizona
State — Finally has tailback position to himself. In two years of shared job, he gained 1,166 yards (5.6 yards per carry). Also will get a look at safety.
2. Dautte Culpepper, QB, Central Florida — Considered among top pro prospects, the 6-foot-5, 245-pound senior has single-handedly put the Knights on the football map. Just ask Nebraska. Can run, pass and pass on the run.
3 and 3a. Kevin Johnson/Quinton Spotwood, WRS-KRs, Syracuse — Whenever these guys get the ball, via pass, punkt or kickoff, don't blink. They could be in the end zone that fast.
4. Sedrick Irvin, RB, Michigan State — Tough to tackle, and can turn short gains into touchdowns as well as any back in the nation.
5. Michael Bishop, QB, Kansas State .. Set all kinds of school
records for passing—and running—last season. His college record, counting two years in junior college, is 35-1. He makes big plays when all seems lost.

GARGANTUAN GAMES
GARGANTUAN GAMES Each year, we look back to see which regular-season games helped decide the national title. Last season, there was Florida over Tennessee, LSU over Florida, Michigan over Penn State, Nebraska's miracle over Missouri, Michigan's annual victory over Ohio State and Florida over Florida State. In 1998, keep an eye on these games:
1. Ohio State at West Virginia (Sept.5)
2. LSU at Florida (Oct. 10)
4. Michigan at Ohio State (Nov.
21)
3. Nebraska at Kansas State (Nov.
14).

5. Florida at Florida State (Nov.

NOTABLE GAMES
ALSO: Michigan at Notre Dame (Sept. 5). Notre Dame at Arizona State (Oct. 10). Arizona State at Ari-
These games may not determine the national champion, but there's more to the sport than just finishing No.1.
1. Texas at UCLA (Sept, 12)
Remember 66.37
2. Bowling Green at Penn State (Sept. 12) — Joe Paterno should get career win No. 300.
3. Missouri at Nebraska (Oct. 24)
    - Huskers pulled off miracle catch to force overtime in last year's 45-83 victory over Tigers.
4. Florida at Georgia (Oct. 31)—Gators to avenge 37-17 loss to Bulldogs — first victory for Georgia over Florida since 1989.
4. Army vs. Navy (Dec. 5) — We have goose bumps already.
It's fine to be ranked in the Top 25 entering the season, but a peek at the schedule shows the road to Tempe, Ariz., may be a lot tougher for some teams.
TOUGH ROAD TO TEMPE
1. Texas — Here's the task for new coach Mack Brown: At UCLA, at Kansas State and at Nebraska — all Top 10 teams. There also are two big rivalry games to deal with vs. Texas A&M and Oklahoma.
2. Missouri — Tigers may beg for mercy at the end of the season, with road games at Ohio State, Nebraska, Texas A&M and a home game vs. Kansas State.
3. Notre Dame — By Irish standards this may not be the toughest task, but home games vs. Michigan and LSU and road games vs. Michigan State, Arizona State and USC are a tall order.
4. Michigan State — Spartans had their chance last year, now they have to play the Big Ten biggies on the road — at Michigan, at Ohio State and at Penn State. Toss in nonconference games against Colorado State and Notre Dame and a trip to Oregon.
4. Michigan — The defending AP national champs open at Notre Dame and then play host to Syracuse before Big Ten home games against Michigan State, Penn State and Wisconsin. The finale is at Ohio State.
1. Nebraska — Let's hear it for the 'Huskers — nonconference games against Louisiana Tech, Alabama
MINOR TURBULENCE TO TEMPE
N
Birmingham and California. Toughest Big 12 game is at Kansas State. The others, vs. Missouri, Texas and Colorado, are in Lincoln.
2. Ohio State — If Buckeyes win opener at West Virginia, they could sail through schedule until finale vs. Michigan (at Columbus). Buckeyes are 1-8-1 vs. Wolverines under coach John Cooper.

Florida State, coach improving with age
By David Droschak
AP Sports Writer
AP Sports Writer
RALEIGH, N.C. — There aren't many things left for Bobby Bowden to accomplish at Florida State — except an undefeated season.
But time is running out for the affable coach, who turns 69 in November
Could this be the season that will give perfection to Bowden with his fastest team ever? The six-time
LAIT
"This football team would qualify as one that has the potential," said Bowden, second in wins (281) among active coaches to Joe Paterno's 298. "We have a lot of putting together to do. One thing you know is we've got the pieces sitting out there."
defending Atlantic Coast Conference champions have won 10 or more games for 11 straight years.
Despite his age, Bowden remains as competitive and sharp as ever. He was 88-29-3 (.752) in the 1980s, but has
reached another level in the 1990s. His 85-11-1 record during the last eight years is good for an 88.1 percent winning mark.
"I don't feel like I've lost one dime of it," Bowden said. "I'm about as excited now as I've ever been going into a season. When I lose that I'm out. I guess one of these days I'll wake up and not want to go."
No need for concern this year.
Florida State's cumulative 40-yard dash times this spring were the program's best ever. In fact, wide receiver Laveranues Coles ran under 4.2 seconds. Bowden and his staff didn't believe it, and made Coles line up and run it a second time, and then a third. He broke the 4.2 barrier all three times to beat Deion Sanders' 4.21 mark as the fastest player in school history.
top four in the country every year. That's unbelievable."
"Right now they are the dominant team — not only dominant in the ACC — but the dominant team in the country," said North Carolina coach Carl Torbush. "That's not to take anything away from Nebraska or Michigan, but we're talking in a 10-year period a team that has been in the

One of Bowden's few con
cerns is at quarterback, where 26-year-old Chris Weinke will run one of the nation's most-sophisticated passing attacks. The 6-foot-5, 240-pounder who originally signed with the Seminoles in 1990 is back after a failed minor-league baseball career.

Wainke will be passing to Coles and Peter Warrick, one of the game's breakaway talents, while Travis Minor averaged 5.6 yards per carry as a freshman last year.
people are praising you, and when the team loses, people want to tear you up."
Florida State's defense lost ACC player of the year Andre Wadsworth and consensus All-America linebacker Sam Cowart, but defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews has other talented players to fill the gaps.
"Florida State has a perception of throwing the ball every down, but when they won their first national championship (1993) they played tremendous defense," said Clemson coach Tommy West.
GT
The rest of the conference will try to crack that defense.
North Carolina begins its first season in a decade without Mack Brown as head coach. Brown departed for Texas, so Torbush inherits a program that was 11-1, finished sixth in the country and was hot on the heels of the Seminoles.
Virginia, Georgia Tech, Clem-
 virion and Wake Forest also should
field solid teams and battle for one of the ACC's four guar- teed bowl spots.
M a n v
believe the Virginia Cavalier could be the ACC's second-best team with nine starters back on defense and quarterback Aaron Brooks and tailback Thomas Jones heading an improved offense.
N. C. State has one of the ACC's best offenses, but once again has a suspect defense. Wide receiver Torry Holt is one of the nation's best at his position. He scored five
touchdowns against the Seminoles last year.
T
Maryland and Duke are expected to bring up the rear. The
Blue Devils have lost a record-
tying 18 straight league games
and it won't get any easier:
Duke's first ACC game this season is Sept. 19 at Florida State
As for the Tar Heels, they lost seven players from a defense that ranked second in the nation in total yards allowed and fifth in scoring defense last season.
Three of those players — Greg Ellis, Brian Simmons and Vonnie Holliday — were taken in the top 19 nicks of the NLA draft.
Returning at cornerback, however, is two-time consensus All-American Dre Bly, a junior who has 16 interceptions in 22 regular-season games.
Despite inexperience, Torbush is confident Brown left him well-stocked on the defensive side of the ball with talented players who have been in the system two or three years.
"They want to prove to the world they are as good as what just left," Torbush said. "That is good, that's going to make them play better. That's not going to be easy, but I like that mentality."
On offense, quarterback Oscar Davenport is one of the more dynamic players in the ACC, but he is injury-prone. The school's leader in pass completion percentage broke an ankle in the Florida State game last season and missed North Carolina's 42-3 Gator Bowl victory against Virginia Tech.
Veteran football coaches show no signs of slowing
The Associated Press
Joe Paterno and Bobby Bowden are at it again, preparing their teams for yet another championship run. After 32 seasons each and more victories than any other active coach, it might seem as if they were ready to turn in their headphones.
ries.
Not so fast.
"I still love it, especially game day," said Penn State coach Joe Paterno, 72. "All those people, all the excitement, all the schmaltz that goes along with it. It still gets me going."
Paterno enters this season poised to become the sixth coach to collect 300 career victo-
"I still enjoy the preparations for the game, the constant evaluating of players and trying to find out which combinations will work, which schemes will work," he said.
Florida State's Bobby Bowden is just as pumped, especially with his Seminoles ranked No. 2 in the preseason.
He said that after a season, he likes to forget football for two months.
"But when July rolls around again, 'Whew, gosh!" Bowden said. "It pops up and them juices start going again, and I don't even want to see a golf ball."
Bowden, 68, is beginning his
"I'm rejuvenated all over again," he said. "I can't wait. But I know one of these days it's not going to be there."
Paterno takes his career in four-year bits. Bowden favors the five-year plan.
23rd season with the Seminoles.
"I'm not interested in retiring," Bowden said. "I'll be 69 in two months. I have no desire to quit. It's not like when I'm 70, I'm getting out. Or when I'm 73, I'm getting out. If I stay healthy and we win, I might never get out. But I can't judge that."
"I'll be here another four years, but in two years from now, if I feel good, I'd go another four, or beyond," Paterno said.
While the highly ranked Seminoles open the season next Monday night against Texas A&M in the Kickoff Classic, the Nittany
Lions start with question marks at quarterback and running back and a No.13 preseason ranking. Southern Mississippi is at Penn State in it
admired by most other programs. Winning helps, too.
Paterno has a 298-77-3 record,
while Bowden is 281-83-4.
"If I stay healthy and we win, I might never get out."
Bobby Bowden Florida State coach
Penn state in the Sept. 5 opener. Under these two coaching icons, who rank first and second in victories for active coaches in Division I-A, Penn State and Florida State have become football factories
Paterno has more bowl wins (18) than any other coach; Bowden is next with 16. The Nittany Lions have five perfect seasons and titles, under
two national titles under Paterno; the Seminoles have a record 11 consecutive top four finishes in The Associated Press' final poll and one national title under Bowden.
Only three I-A coaches have
topped 300 wins — Bear Bryant,
Pop Warner and Amos Alonzo
Stagg.
With administrators quick to fire coaches — there were 24 I-A coaching changes after the1996 season and 14 before this season Paterno looks at the scene and wonders.
"They think there's a Moses out there that will lead them out of the desert," Paterno said. "We have a solid program. There's stability, and the pieces are in place to continue to be successful."

'Huskers' new quarterback old hand at position
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — As Nebraska piled up points during a 69-7 victory over Oklahoma, Bobby Newcombe showed his full range of talent.
The freshman wingback caught a pass and blazed for a 40-yard touchdown in the nationally televised game last November. He had a 57-yard punt return and also made a spinning, one-handed catch from a sideline pass that
quarterback Scott Frost had tried to throw away.
Back in Newcombe's hometown of Albuquerque, N.M., Highland High School coach Judge Chavez chuckled.
R
"The amazing part of it for me was that he was doing the same kind of stuff in high school," Chavez said. "I couldn't believe he was doing it for Nebraska. He was making big-time players look ridiculous."
Newcombe: Will be Nebraska's new quarterback.
Now a sophomore, Newcombe has moved to the position for which he was recruited - quarterback. He asserted himself with a 175-yard rushing effort in Nebraska's spring game, including a 91-yard run for a touchdown on his first play.
"He certainly is fast," said Nebraska linebacker Jay Foreman. "There are times when you think you have him and then he has that little bit of extra speed, that burst or whatever, and he leaves the defense behind."
In football-crazed Nebraska, Newcombe already is a household name. A group of fans in Omaha has an Internet site dedicated to Newcombe.
One of the nation's top high school quarterbacks two years ago, Newcombe chose Nebraska over Arizona, Michigan, New Mexico and Oklahoma. Huskers fans were excited to have him, and Newcombe knows they expect a lot
It's nothing new for Newcombe. Chavez said that as a standout four-sport athlete at Highland, Newcombe effortlessly handled a media crush and always credited teammates, assistant coaches and his family.
"He was always very appreciative of what others did for him," Chavez said. "He's a very humble kid."
Newcombe was born in Sierra Leone in West Africa, where his father was a Peace Corps volunteer who married the daughter of a Mende tribal chief. The family moved to the United States when Bobby was 2.
For many Nebraska fans, Newcombe's pumping legs and agility evoke memories of 1972 Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Rogers. He's also compared to quarterback Tommie Frazier, who led the Huskers to unbeaten seasons and national titles in 1994 and 1995.
Newcombe said he has drawn on Frazier's experiences.
"Tommie told me there would be a lot of pressure, but that I would do fine," Newcombe said. "He told me to relax, to go with the flow. I don't feel any nerves whatsoever. I know I'm prepared."
'Kid at heart' Ricky Williams returns to attempt to break rushing records
Longhorn player will lead team under new coach
The Associated Press
AUSTIN, Tex. — Ricky Williams' face lights up as he recalls one of his favorite football memories. The game wasn't against Texas A&M or Oklahoma — it was at an elementary school.
"There were bodies flying all over the place," the nation's leading rusher said. "It was all the girls and me against the boys. I was making up all these trick plays, and the girls were
going the wrong way. They had no clue how to play."
Later, the pupils at
Kiker Elementary School in Austin all tried to tackle the 6-foot, 225-pound Williams, who can bench press 402 pounds and has 4.39 -second speed in the 40.
"I had eight kids hanging on me, but I couldn't let them bring me down, so I kept dragging them," said the Texas senior. "It was a lot of fun. I don't know if the teachers were too happy, though."
Welcome to the world of Ricky Williams, overgrown kid, fiercely loyal, refreshingly generous, eager to please and perhaps the best college football player in the country.
The fact that he's still in college is a surprise to many.
Williams gives several reasons for
turning down millions as a probable top-five pick in last spring's NFL draft to return to the Texas Longhorns, who'll play this season under new coach Mack Brown.
Williams needs 1,928 yards to break Tony Dorsett's NCAA Division I career rushing record and 20 rushing touchdowns to break Anthony Thompson's career record.
Then there is Earl Campbell's all-time rushing mark at Texas (289 yards to go), the Heisman Trophy and the chance to improve on the Longhorns' 4-7 record last year.
He already is a professional athlete. A member of the Philadelphia Phillies minor-league baseball organization since 1995, Williams knows the cutthroat nature of professional sports.
Those closest to Williams said he struggled with the decision but ultimately stayed simply because he wasn't ready to give up the fun he was having in college.
"In the NFL, everyone is trying to step on everyone else to get a starting position and make more money," Williams said. "It's survival. It's all business. In college, it's your last chance to just play and have fun. I'm a kid. I want to keep being a kid."
Williams is known for pouring grass clippings into the earhooks of teammates' helmets. He plays video games with the 14-year-old son of former Texas running backs coach Bucky Godbold and his favorite movie is The Princess Bride.
He'd rather talk to kids than adults and has been a frequent visitor at children's hospitals since high school.
"Kids are just free," Williams said. "They represent freedom to me. And they are impressionable. What you say
His punishing running style and appearance — dreadlocks, two tattoos, a pierced tongue and pierced left nostril
do a lot to hide his shy, soft-spoken side. When he was in high school, he would never refuse a date with girls because he didn't want to hurt their feelings.
can have an impact on them."
Growing up with two sisters may have had something to do with that.
Williams has been the man of the house since he was five, when his father left the family. With his mother, Sandy, working during the day in a government purchasing job in San Diego and going to night school, it was his job to cook dinner for his twin sister,
Cassie, and younger sister, Nisey. His specialties were macaroni and cheese, pork and beans and hot dogs.
With the roughly $100,000 he's earned in his four years in the Phillies farm system (the Phillies also are paying for his education at Texas), he has helped pay for Cornell's seller.
Cassie's college education.
"Ricky's the kind of guy who, if he has $10, he'll give you $8 and get by on $2," said fellow Longhorn Chad Patmon, who went to high school with Williams in San Diego. "He'll give as much as he can to help you out."
He paid for his mother to move from San Diego to Texas and other expenses. Both sisters attend Texas, and his mother also lives in Austin.
Williams: Considered a favorite for the Heisman Trophy.
When Williams talked to his mother
about turning pro, she told him. "If you're worried about helping us out with money, don't. We haven't been rich our whole lives, so now' not the time to start worrying about it."
But his mom did secure $2.8 million in insurance against serious injury for her son this year. Williams does not even know the details of the policy.
"My insurance against injury will be my education," said Williams, who would like to teach elementary school when his football and baseball careers are over. "I don't worry about getting hurt. You can't live your life like that."
Williams cut short his summer stint with the Phillies' Class A Batavia Muckdogs of New York state to return to Austin and prepare for his final college season.
Before deciding to stay at Texas, he wanted some assurances from the new coach: That the Longhorns would improve on defense (Texas was trampled most of last season, ranking 104th of 112 nationally against the run) and that there would be more team discipline.
"Last year, the seniors said they weren't going to drink during the season, but that lasted about two days," Williams said. "There was drinking late in the week before games, and everyone just kind of gave up on the season."
Brown has a policy that players look the way they would in a job interview after college. But he relented on making Williams cut his dreadlocks, which he has worn since his sophomore year in high school as a tribute to Bob Marley.
Campbell, who has said Williams reminds him of a faster version of himself, told him three years ago to get rid of the dreads.
"He told me one day, 'Those people in the stands won't hire you for a job with that haircut,'" Williams said. "I said, 'I don't plan on working for them.'"
Nebraska plays on without Osborne
Heisman winner Rodgers praises new coach Solich
The Associated Press
Rocket preferred to talk a bo u t Husker football under new coach F r a n k Solich, a long time assistant for T o m Ochope
With his 1972 Heisman Trophy ring on his left index finger, "The
OMAHA, Neb. — Johnny Rodgers still looks good enough to suit up for the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Believe that."
N
Huskers
Osborne
"If Tom Osborne is any kind of an educator, he's had a student for the last 20 years with him," Rodgers said. "Frank is good. He's got what it takes. He knows what he doing."
This could lead one to beleive that Nebraska is on its way to winning more than 10 games this season as Solich sets out to replace Osborne.
Osborne won 255 games and three national titles during 25 seasons before retiring last season.
Rodgers recently completed his degree at Nebraska and has been working with the Nebraska Alumni Association to get other former 'Husker athletes to do the same. He runs an events-marketing company and manufactures collegiate clothing and bedding in association with J.C.Penney.
This weekend, he lured Florida State coach Bobby Bowden to Omaha, where he put together the Husker-Heisman Alumni Weekend. Along with Bowden, several other Heisman winners (Archie Griffin, Tony Dorsett and Mike Rozier were among the invitees) were expected at a dinner to roast and toast Osborne.
Osborne was a position coach in the early 1970s, and Rodgers still remembers Osborne's flair for reading defenses.
"Coach Osborne really had a knack for calling the right play at the right
time," Rodgers said. "He was able to teach his quarterback to see what he sees."
Rodgers used Scott Frost, the quarterback who helped Nebraska win a share of the national title with Michigan last year, as an example.
"Frost was not what we call a great passer, but he was one of the first guys (at Nebraska) to get 1,000 yards rushing and passing because he read defenses so well," he said. "My claim to fame, not being a large receiver, was not so much being able to fight people getting out on pass patterns, but understanding and reading the zone so I would know where people were not going to be."
Rodgers said the players would be able to relate better to Solich than Osborne.
"Frank is a player's coach," he said. "Tom was on another level. Frank is one of the guys. You can feel very comfortable around him. He's not going to make you nervous. Coach Osborne has an air about him. He's very nice and considerate, but he carries himself in such a way — he's straighter than most people. Frank's more sociable."
Rodgers also noticed more players
"My claim to fame, not being a large receiver, was not so much being able to fight people getting out on pass patterns, but understanding and reading the zone so I would know where people were not going to be."
Johnny Rodgers Former Nebraska Player
stayed and worked in Lincoln this summer than in recent years.
"These guys are not ordered back," Rodgers said. "They came back because they want to help make a statement for Frank. He's going to be a guy the players want to win for."
What sets Solich apart is that he played for the fans, he was an all-Big Eight player and had big plays for them, Rodgers said. He came up the ranks and was trained by one of the best men.
"And he's supposed to be on top of his game," he said.

Rose by any other name just is not at all the same
The Associated Press
LITTLE FALLS, N.J. — It's a hazy, humid Tuesday night on a cramped college campus, about 15 miles west of Manhattan. A smattering of cheers arises as Pete Rose Jr. strides toward the plate.
Pete Rose Jr., the New Jersey Jackals' left fielder, joined the team five days earlier. He arrived with plenty of baggage.
For Pete Rose Jr., this is his third minor-league team this year, his 10th minor-league season. At 28, he is older than all but a single teammate. And even when the sun disappears this night, Pete Rose Jr. cannot escape the shadow of his dad, Pete Rose Sr.
Pete Rose Jr. walks purposefully from the on-deck circle, digs his left heel deep in the batter's box. He stares out at the left-handed pitcher on the mound. He cocks
his bat behind his head.
The pitch is delivered ... and
fouled straight back.
Strike one.
This is an at-bat that Pete Rose Jr. never anticipated — not 20 years ago, when little Petey lugged bats for his record-setting dad; not 10 years ago, when the Baltimore Orioles drafted him out of high school; certainly not one year ago, when he had his first major league hit with the Cincinnati Reds.
But here he stands in the New Jersey suburbs, refusing to surrender his increasingly unlikely dream of a full season in The Show.
"Pete's not going to go up," said Jackals coach Hank Manning.
sev.
it's an attitude inherited from his old man, who was admittedly a better ballplayer than father.
It's unclear whether Pete Rose Sre
even knows his son is in New Jer-
sey.
Pete Rose JR. wants his game to do his talking, but that's part of the problem: It will never speak as eloquently as his namesake's did.
Still, Pete Rose Jr. pays homage to his father's achievements by writing the number 4,256 in the infield dirt before each game — the number of hits Pete Rose Sr. racked up.
In 1997, after eight years in the minors, Pete Rose Jr. reconsidered his future. His mediocre career average was no qualification for the majors. He was married now, living with his in-laws. The odds were growing larger against him.
Predictably, there was no quit in Pete Rose Jr.
Pete Rose Jr., awaits the second pitch from Keith Breitenstein, a tough left-hander with the Adiromack Lumberjacks. It's in, on his
fists. Pete Rose Jr. fights it off, fouls it straight back.

Sophomore says 'miracle catch' was only beginning
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — Matt Davison wants to be more than a one-catch wonder.
As he enters his sophomore season at Nebraska, the wide receiver hopes to put his miracle catch against Missouri behind him and become the Cornhuskers' go-to guy when the rare pass pass is called.
He said he knew it wouldn't be easy
"That play put me on the map, it turned my life around," Davison said. "Everywhere I go, people recognize me and know I was the guy who made the catch, but I don't want it to define my career. I have great expectations for myself."
Davison's final-second, game-tying touchdown grab of a tipped Scott Frost pass helped the "Huskers defeat the Tigers 45-38 last year. The victory propelled Nebraska to a perfect record and a shared national title with Michigan in coach Tom Osborne's final season.
New coach Frank Solich was upstairs in the coaches' booth watching the final seconds unfold. He had a bird's eye view of the proceedings.
Missouri led 38-31 and Nebraska had the ball at its 29-yard line with no timeouts and 62 seconds remaining. Frost threw outside and found outside receivers, hitting passes of 27, 13, 8 and 7 yards before it was down and 10 from the Tigers' 12-yard line with time for one more play.
The play was a double slant, and Frost saw Shevin Wiggins streaking into the end zone. Frost's pass deflected off Wiggins' foot. Just as it was about to hit the ground, which would have given the Tigers a monumental upset, Davison dived and pulled the ball in for the touchdown.
"After a second or two of wondering, it was instant excitement," Solich said. "All of us were hugging and patting each other on the back. Call it a miracle or whatever, but they made it happen. It was a tremendously exhausting game."
The overtime was simple: Frost scored on a 12-yard run, and the Tigers were stopped on four plays.
"That was a great experience for me."
"Everywhere I go,people recognize me and know I was the guy who made the catch, but I don't want it to define my career."
Matt Davison Nebraska wide receiver
said Davison, who caught 11 passes for 232 yards and that one touchdown. "I just need to stay levelheaded about it, but that won't be too hard — I've got an older brother, Travis, who won't let me get too cocky."
Davison enters the season as the No. 2 wide receiver behind Kenny Cheatham.
"To us, the play's history," Solich said. "As good as it was, it's done. It gone. That play can't win us any more ball games. Matt knows that and rest of our club has always been that way. We never dwelled on past games or past plays and that's one reason we've been able to win so consistently. We've moved on."
St. Louis OKs McGwire's use of muscle-enhancer
The Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — The St. Louis Cardinals said yesterday that they didn't object to Mark McGwire's use of androstenedione, a muscle-enhancing pill legal in baseball but banned in the NFL and NCAA.
The Associated Press reported last week that McGwire, who is chasing Roger Maris' home run record, has used the testosterone-producing pill for more than a year. He also uses Creatine, an over-the-counter muscle builder.
Androstenedione, called "andro," raises levels of the male hormone, which builds lean muscle mass and promotes recovery after injury.
In a statement distributed during yesterday's game in Pittsburgh, the cardinals' medical staff disputed that androstenedione is a steroid.
"Androstenedione is a natural substance, which is a natural precursor
product of testosterone," the release said. "It has no proven anabolic steroid effect nor significant side effects. It contains no testosterone. It stimulates slight increase in one's natural testosterone levels for a short period of time (one hour). Taken approximately one hour before workouts, it may make one's workout more efficient. Due to current research that locks documentary evidence of any adverse side effects, the Cardinals' medical staff cannot object to Mark's choice to use this legal and over-the-counter supplement."
McGwire said Saturday he wouldn't jeopardize his health by using an unsafe product and has been assured that androstenedione isn't harmful.
"There's absolutely nothing wrong with it," he said. "It's legal. I've been with my nutrition company since 1992 and they're not going to give me bad stuff. I'm not worried about it a bit."

THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
Paraguayan scholar comes to Lawrence
(USPS 650-640)
By Steph Brower
Kansan staff writer
Victor Jacinto Flecha has an impressive resume; political analyst and columnist, professor and consultant to a project on the decentralization of Paraguay's government.
Since Aug.15, he has been traveling around
tesy of the U.S. Information Agency, and studying the American government, education and way of life. Paraguay has been a democracy since a coup in 1989, but it still struggles with economic problems.
PETER M. KING
His latest stop, Lawrence, is by far the smallest city on his tour. Other cities include Washington, San Francisco, Pittsburgh and New York.
Jacinto: Visiting Lawrence on his tour of U.S. cities.
"I think that Lawrence
is a University town, but it's also a very special town to the history of liberty in the United States." Flecha said of his decision to stop here.
There also is the Kansas-Paraguay connection. Kansas and Paraguay are partners in the Americas Program, said Melissa Birch, section chairwoman for Paraguayan studies in the Latin American Studies Association and associate professor of business at the University.
The program, established by the U.S. government in the 1960s, paired states with Latin American countries in an effort to connect citizens.
As a result, Flecha said, the University has a large number of Paraguayan students compared to other universities in the nation. Flecha met with some of these students last night at the Kansas Union.
Sebastian Peña, Asuncion, Paraguay, graduate student, said the students wanted to discuss the political situation in Paraguay. He said he would like to see total state reform in his country, especially in the education system.
"Democracy cannot sustain itself with people who can read and write," he said.
He said that although most Paraguayans are literate, that was not enough.
He said that the education system in the United States was better than the Latin American standard.
But while Flecha is in the United States to study the way of life. He said the trip is to look and compare the U.S. system to that of Paraguay.
"This is the first time that the Paraguayans are trying to have a democracy," he said.
First times often have problems, and Paraguay has not been an exception.
"Paraguay is the weakest democracy in Latin America," Flecha said. "There aren't any democratic traditions."
Today, Flecha will meet with John Nalbandian, professor of public administration and government and Lawrence city commissioner, and will attend a city commission meeting.
Lawrence has been, so far, an interesting experience for Flecha. He said that in small towns in Paraguay, the streets were made of dirt and people worked with their hands more. One thing he said, is the same, though.
"It's the same sun," he said. "It's very hot."

Arson suspected in fire
Damage figured to be $150,000
Keith Burner
Kansan staff writer
Kansan staff writer
The fire that burned a two-story, partially remodeled house late Sunday night at 1605 Tennessee St. caused about $150,000 in damage and may have been intentional, Lawrence Fire Marshal Richard Barr said.
Barr said that no utilities were connected to the house, so gas or electrical problems were not the cause and that the fire could not have been started by natural causes because there were no storms that night.
He also said that the building had been secured by First Management, the company that was renovating the property, and was supposed to have been empty for more than a week, indicating that the fire likely was not caused by workers.
"The fact that the fire was apparently caused by none of these things leads us to suspect that there are really very few things it could be," Barr said.
"Obviously, there was someone in there that night, and someone obviously started this fire." Compton
Doug Compton, owner of First Management, said that he thought the fire may have been caused by arson.

said. "I just hope that whoever started it realizes what kind of mess they've made."
The house was insured, but Compton said that anyone who thought First Management was responsible for the fire was wrong.
"We've been renovating this house for two months," he said. "We had designed the rest of the complex around that house, and this hurts us. If people want to start pointing fingers, they should look at the kids who've been gone all summer."
Dennis Enslinger of the Lawrence Planning and Zoning Department said that the house was to be converted into four one-bedroom apartments. Four buildings, yet to be constructed, were to make up the rest of the five-building complex.
Compton said that he planned to start rebuilding and continue with the project.
The fire began at about 11 p.m. and was put out an hour later, said Lawrence Battalion Chief Jerry Karr.
KU student Chris Bergerson, Cape Girardeau, Mo., freshman, was across the street when the fire started.
"We were sitting on the porch talking, and we looked across the street and saw flames," he said.
His sister, Catherine Bergerson,
Cape Girardela, Mo., senior, said, "I
saw flames coming out of the corner
and called the police."
Chris Bergerson said, "We saw those flames and within one minute flames were shooting out all over the place."
"It was really hot. We saw the fire and, I'd say, the temperature increased 15 to 20 degrees over here within a couple of minutes. I can't imagine how hot it got across the street," he said.
Professor chosen for Regents appointment
By Jason Poarce
Kansas staff writer
Wilcox to oversee academic affairs
A University of Kansas professor began his first full week of duties yesterday as the interim director of academic affairs for the Kansas Board of Regents.
Kansan staff writer
The board, which is the governing body of the state's six public universities, selected Kim A. Wilcox, professor of speech-language-hearing, to a one-year appointment. The previous director, John Welsh, resigned this summer to become the assistant provost at the University of Kentucky.
Wilcox, who will oversee program review, curriculum review and new programs of study, has been a faculty member
One of the items on his agenda will be the implementation of a new process to review programs of study at the Regents universities. Wilcox will help to ensure that the programs' goals are accomplished.
since 1984 and the chairman of the speech language-hearing department since 1989.
"This is a great place to work," Wilcox said. "I will be working on some things of fundamental importance for state universities." he said.
Wilcox said that he also would prepare a proposal for the Legislature to increase faculty salaries to keep the University competitive with other universities across the nation.
"Hopefully, we will set up the procedures for program review that will be used for the next several years," he said.
"The Board of Regents is particularly interested in faculty salary enhancement," he said. "It is the primary issue for this fall."
Although Wilcox is on leave from the University for the next year, he will continue to work with graduate students in the speech-language-hearing department. Wilcox will resume his previous duties when he returns to the University next fall.
Provest David Shulenburger nominated Wilcox to the Regents post and appointed Diane Loeb, associate professor of speech-language-hearing, to be the interim department chairwoman when Wilcox was hired by the Regents.
Wilcox recently served as Chancellor Robert Hemenway's special counsel for strategic initiatives. In that job, he served as a liaison to the Initiative 2001 task forces that have been working to draft recommendations for a university-wide strategic plan. He served in a similar capacity for the president of Indiana University when the school was drafting its strategic plan.
In his department, Wilcox also serves as director of the Native American Training Program, co-director of the Intercampus Program in Communicative Disorders and director of the Phonetics and Speech Science Instructional Laboratory.
He received the Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Teaching in 1988 and was a finalist for the 1997 Honorable Outstanding Progressive Educator (HOPE) award given by the senior class at Kansas.
The speech-language-hearing department offers undergraduate, graduate and doctoral degrees. It also provides comprehensive research and clinical training opportunities.
The department is home to the Richard L. Schiefelbusch Clinic, which serves people with speech, language and hearing disorders. The clinic provides more than 3,000 consultations each year.
Students steer clear of booths
Officials want $65 fine to put brakes on offenses
By Seth Jones Kansan Staff Writer
The parking department is out to put an end to booth running.
Previously, drivers who violated the access restrictions were not fined.
Students who ignore traffic-control booths face a $65 fine, but it is too early to tell if the new policy has decreased the number of violations, said Don Kearns, director of parking.
Drivers who disregard the stop signs and drive past the booth without on-campus parking passes between 7:45 a.m. and 5 p.m. have their license plate recorded and then receive a written warning through the mail. Any violation after the written警告 results in a $69 fine.
"I know that there have been license numbers turned in to our office," Kearns said, "but right now we are more concerned with parking permits and haven't had time to concentrate on booth runners."
Ryan Chisholm, Golden, Colo., junior, said he still planned to run the booths.
KU students who know of the parking depart ment's fine are adjusting in their own way.
"Now, I have a friend run me up to the Military Science Building and drop me off. I'm closer to my classes that way," he said.
"I've got a bunch of different ways to get past the boots," he said. "Sometimes, I'll just hold out my KUID with a 'Hey, I'm a student, let me through!' look. If I feel like stopping, I'll give them a line."
Chisholm said he had many lines, most of which he wanted to keep secret. He would share one though.
Craig Dugan, Wichita junior, used to run the booths but with the new fine takes another route.
"I tell them I've got to go pick up some tables at Wescoe. That always works." he said.
Craig Dugan, Wichita junior, used to run the
Marcel Iglesias, Newport Coast, Calif., junior, said the new fine would make him break his habit of booth running.
"Last year, I'd run them because I was driving my brother's car, and I figured the worst thing that could happen to me is that they would just yell at me," he said. "But I can spend $65 on something else, so I'll have to stop running them now that there is that big fine."

Homeless shelter obtains financial help from will
A mentally ill man who was frequently homeless left a legacy for a financially strapped shelter in Lawrence that helps people similar to himself.
When Gary Hampton Gauk died of a heart attack last fall at age 57, his will stipulated that portions of his inherited estate be used to help the homeless.
Last week, his cousin Pat Newton presented a $4,200 check to Project Acceptance, which operates a shelter for the mentally ill who are homeless.
Newton said she expected the shelter would receive about $10,000 a year in perpetuity from Gault's trust fund.
Newton, who is the principal of St. John's Catholic School, helped her cousin in the last years of his life, and officers of his trust had asked her to help find recipients for the trust money. When she saw a newspaper article about Project Acceptance, she said it seemed to be the right place.
"I're really touched by the source of the gift," said Dennis Budd, president of Project Acceptance. "By the fact that it came from someone who was basically one of the people we exist for. That's the thing that really touches me."
Earlier this year, Project Acceptance offi.
cials were preparing to close the shelter because of lack of funds.

16 dead, more missing following Texas flood
UVALDE, Texas — The remnants of Tropical Storm Charley caused flooding that washed away blocks of homes and killed 16 people in drought-striken southern Texas and Mexico. As many as 30 others were reported missing yesterday in Del Río.
Entire neighborhoods of the Texas border town of 34,000 were submerged as the flood-watered across the parched land. Del Río received nearly 18 inches of rain in 24 hours.
Del Rio police Officer John Wilson said 20 to 30 people still were missing.
"We're still recovering bodies, and all the low crossings, the creeks, have flooded," Wilson said.
Gov. George W. Bush ordered 150 National Guardsmen, 25 trucks and nine Blackhawk helicopters to join the rescue efforts.
Boeing may lose support from longtime customer
WORLD
LONDON — British Airways will loosen its ties with longtime U.S. supplier Boeing Co.
and order its first batch of jets from France's Airbus Industrie, a source said yesterday.
bruns Airways plans to buy 59 short-haul jets from Airbus but will keep Boeing as its supplier for larger jets, said the source, an industry executive who spoke on condition of anonymity.
British Airways has had 10 Airbus planes in its fleet since it bought a smaller airline several years ago. However, it never has bought Airbus jets directly from the company, and it has long been considered one
of Boeing's most loyal customers.
Neither Airbus nor British Airways would confirm the deal — which would be a huge blow to Boeing in the intense rivalry between the two big aircraft manufacturers.
O'Brien's business Airbus said British Prime Minister Tony Blair was set to speak at a joint news conference with Airbus President Noel Forgeard shortly after noon today at Airbus headquarters in Toulouse, France.
Spokesmen from British Airways and Boeing refused to comment on the alleged deal.
Although any detection to Airbus would be a loss for Boeing, British Airways is not completely giving up on the plane manufacturer.
The executive said British Airways planned a revamp of its fleet and would order more Boeing 777s in a $5 billion deal.
Pakistan files complaint about misfired U.S. missile
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Pakistan is lodging a complaint with the U.N. Security Council after a U.S. missile aimed at neighboring Afghanistan landed by mistake on its territory, the Foreign Ministry said yesterday.
The discovery of an unexploded missile during the weekend supported Pakistan's claim that the United States violated its airspace, a ministry statement said.
Local officials who spoke on condition of anonymity said that the missile was found in a remote area Sunday and given to the military the same day. They said it fell in Kharan, 380 miles south of the U.S. target near Khost, Afghanistan.
U. S. missiles struck a suspected militant training camp Aug. 20 in neighboring Afghanistan.
Pakistan had protested the presumed violation of its airspace in the U.S. attack and said that a missile mistakenly had fallen in Pakistan and killed several people. The government fired its intelligence chief, Manzoor Ahmed, for passing on that false report to the prime minister.
The U.S. attack has prompted daily anti-American protests around Pakistan. Yesterday, 200 Afghan refugee schoolgirls led by their veiled teachers chanted "Destroy America!" in a peaceful march in the Pakistani border city of Peshawar.

Visitors center behind schedule
Early November set as completion date
By Molody Ard Kansan staff writer
Construction of the University of Kansas' first visitors center, where prospective students can go for information, is behind schedule.
The $2 million project, which would house the center in the former Templin Hall cafeteria, began last spring and was expected to be completed in mid-August.
However, Warren Corman, University architect, said the center would not open until early November.
Corman said that the University decided to hire Kansas Building Specialists to finish the job, but the company was unable to buy materials because of state regulations.
"We had unrealistic expectations," he said. "It wasn't assigned to a general contractor, and we were building it in-house, but our crews got so busy that it was just impossible for them to finish on time."
"We have been waiting on steel for the front- entrance canopy for the last two months," Corman said.
The visitors center will include a mini-museum of
University facts, displays of current events, an information desk and a 100-seat auditorium. The office of admissions, which is now in Strong Hall, also will relocate to the new center.
Most of the work now is being done on the auditorium, which is new to the building.
"They are putting in doors and frames right now," said Burt Larios, project coordinator for facilities operations. "We still have to build a little stage in the auditorium and put in wall panels, the auditorium seating — which will be one of the last things — carpet, tile and restroom fixtures. We still have quite a lot of work left."
Visitor parking also will increase by 100 spaces with a new parking lot behind the center.
Although work has continued into the fall semester, and students are living in the hall, residents have not had many complaints, said Betsey Hart, Templin Hall resident, front-desk employee and Overland Park junior.
"Last year they were waking people up at 7 a.m., but so far we haven't heard anything," she said.
Because Templin, which was renovated two years ago, will be adjacent to the new center, visitors will be able to tour the hall and see what is planned for several University residence halls in the future.
Hart said that she thought Templin Hall was a nice showcase.
"I think they did a good job with the renovations, but the part I upset about is the second floor. They can't decide if they want to give the second floor to us

or keep it as administrative offices. Right now, it is just empty rooms. We don't have a big lobby with a big screen like the other halls. There are both pros and cons to the renovation."

Student support of locally owned businesses fosters town's charm
The students of the University of Kansas comprise a large portion of Lawrence's population. Thus, they have a significant effect on the city's commerce. A business can prosper solely from students' patronage, and it can go bankrupt from their apathy.
Students should realize that every dollar they spend at a business influences the commercial makeup of Lawrence and the aesthetic values of the city. Students who want to purchase novels have the option of buying books from Raven Bookstore or Borders. By choosing the Raven, students may spend a few more dollars than they would at the corporate alternative. However, they also are contributing to a locally owned and operated business that is committed to keeping the charm of the downtown area.
Every dollar counts as a vote for keeping downtown shops prospering.
As the populace grows, more and more corporations are viewing Lawrence as an ideal market. This already is evident along the south end of Iowa Street, where the bland facades of Kohl's and J C Penney join discount stores such as Walmart and SuperTarget on the once noncommercially developed area.
Storefronts downtown that once held local businesses now bear the insignias of The Gap, Abercrombie and Fitch and Border's Books and Music. These retailers sometimes offer lower prices than their local competitors. However, they also take away from Lawrence's individuality, making it seem like just another suburban town.
Students may find good bargains at these national chains. Yet they should be aware that their dollars are their votes on how they want their town to look.Would they prefer the charm of the locally run businesses or the banality of national chains.

Groups deserve Pat on the Back
Every Tuesday, the editorial board will recognize groups or individuals who go above and beyond the call of duty or just did something really great with a Pat on the Back.
This week the editorial board is recognizing Hawk Link, a service sponsored by the Office of Minority Affairs. More than 100 students, faculty and Lawrence residents welcomed minority students, helped them move in and acquainted them with the University community. This was the first year for Hawk Link and the Office of Minority Affairs intends on continuing Hawk Link each year.
Hawk Link volunteers helped students move into residence halls from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m., Aug. 15. On Aug. 16, faculty and students welcomed new
Many organizations helped introduce new students to the University.
students at a barbecue at the Multicultural Resource Center. After the barbecue, entertainment was provided at the Anschutz Sports Pavilion. About 150 people attended the show.
The Office of New Student Orientation deserves a hearty Pat on the Back for its work in providing Hawk Week. Hawk Week organizers spent a summer publicizing and coordinating Hawk Week events such as Play Fair, Beach N Boulevard and Traditions Night for hundreds of new students to get acquainted with the University.
Another Pat on the Back goes to the Organization of Adult Knowledge Seekers. This was the first year that an organization formally welcomed nontraditional students to the University
The final Pats on the Back goes to the Center for Community Outreach and, again, New Student Orientation for cosponsoring the Hawk Week Service Project.
A CCO representative said there were between 130 and 140 volunteers Saturday at the Kansas Union. They were dispersed to charitable organizations throughout Lawrence such as the Humane Society, Social Services League and Pélathe Community Resource Center.
To make nominations for Pat on the Back, contact Ann Premier (apremer@kansan.com.).

As usual, the month begins with five friends whom I had forgotten I had calling up and touting my ability to "lift stuff." Apparently, if you don't personally change residences, you become
obligated to share the moving experience with others.
So, I spent the first few days in August injuring various muscles in my body that have been dormant since the last time I moved couches, televisions and halogen lamps. My last bits of will power and common sense broken, somebody always makes the statement: "It's only like a 10-minute drive, and most of the futon is in the back of the hatchback. You just hold it, okay?"
Okay.
Rather than sit back and enjoy the exhaustion, I end up surveying my own living habitat and realize that the good summer cleaning I was going to give it never quite happened. You know, things come up – work, sleep, the revelation that my mother won't be coming by to do a dust check until at least October.
However, rather than rely on fond recollections of what color my carpet is, I decide to participate in the August ritual of cleaning my apartment.
Now, some would relate the cleaning of their abodes to a spiritual experience - a renewal of interest in your personal space, a cleansing of sorts, a time to organize the most basic aspects of your life before school starts. I've found that cleaning my apartment compares more favorably to an archeological dig.
Among the debris are several dead roaches, about a thousand nickels and pennies and a few overdue bills that probably would explain the lack of hot water recently.
Like the other months, August has its share of bills, but it seems to me that it manages to pop in some extra expenditures. A mere week and a half into the month brings about the deadline for payment on this semester's learning opportunity, and the need to check my financial status becomes apparent.
Parking permits, new shoes and everybody needs a blender. Yes, August means adding to the phone bill by calling mom and dad and explaining the importance of a costly education.
That summer trip that seemed so cheap at the time suddenly manifests itself on my credit card statement, where it soon will be joined by the reading selections of my professors. Hey, debt loves company, and besides, who knew that there would be so much required reading about Japan?
Hey, there is that geography book I meant
Still, the month moves on.
to sell back two years ago. Looks as if I forgot to water the plant again. And there's the number of that girl I was supposed to call back in March. Oops.
Sorry, the math works out.
As we reach week three, August continues to drudge up the same nasty changes in routine it always does.
Granted, having my first class at noon wouldn't normally qualify as stress, but now I've got to get up in the morning. And I truly believe that a good breakfast can't be served any time before two in the afternoon.
With classes comes the need to shave regularly, and somebody will notice if I wear the same shirt for a week straight. The same insecurities about college return. Can I handle my class load? Will I have time to hit all the bars this semester? Is she looking at me or my fancy Tweety-bird pen?
Of course, subtle little differences around the campus become apparent when the actual attending of classes takes place. The freshmen seem smaller, a few new flowers dot the landscape and my favorite dirt path has been replaced with one of those "convenient" paved sidewalks.
Yes, August came back again, and now it's almost over. It brought back a boring routine and more endless debt while taking away my peaceful summer days of idle rest and simplistic reflection.
In return?
At least there's more traffic.

It seems like random gibberish to just about
everyone that's not us, but to us, each quote represents much more than that. Each sentence represents a story. Some are about friends, ourselves or some event interesting enough to be immortalized in a single sentence. For example, one time we all were making homemade pizza. We were trying to add garlic powder to the sauce, but the container I found was nearly empty. My brother Steven came in asking what was wrong, so I explained the garlic powder situation. He rummaged through the cabinets for about a minute and pulled out the biggest bottle of garlic powder I had ever seen. I just stood there with an incredulous look on my face and mumbled "Son of a..."
The second sentence actually created this summer. My family usually makes a yearly pilgrimage to Wichita to see my brother Matthew participate in Special Olympics. While everyone else is rollicking in Wichita, Katie and I get a three-day vacation from the rest of the family. However, this year everyone but my brother and my dad stayed home because my youngest sister, Amelia, had to get her softball picture taken. The realization that Katie's and my days of peace, quiet and rest were gone, prompted us to scream out at different times: "You don't have to go to Wichita, but you sure can't stay here."
This whole thing got me thinking, and I came to a conclusion — each and every one
Ultimately, all of us are storytellers. When we tell our friends about the long lines in the supermarket this afternoon, we're offering them a picture out of our lives. It doesn't matter if the story is only mildly interesting or doesn't have enough explosions or gratuitous sex—the act of telling puts you in the same profession as William Shakespeare, Mark Twain, or even the guy who writes the made-up letters to Penthouse.
Some people may not see how I can get away with writing 800-word epics about my latest diet or my cats, but those people don't see that those are just chapters and subchapters in my ongoing story. I don't have some giant cache of rediscovered ancient manuscripts to draw from, nor do I possess enough marginal writing talent to compose the Great American novel. However, I can tell my story, the story of a lonely, overweight college student with excessive free time, in a manner that no one else can, even if it does include the words Sparky, the Wondercat.
The truly wonderful thing about the stories that constitute our lives is that they always are new to someone. The people in my hall emit a collective groan whenever I start telling the story of "The Butchery at Battenfeld" simply because they've heard the story about five hundred billion times, but while I was in housing training, I actually found someone interested in hearing it...until he actually heard the story.
So the next time you're ready to stop me on campus to ask, "Nick, buddy, what are you thinkin?" or even ask the person sitting in front of you to speak more quietly, remember that what you are receiving is as precious as one of the great plays of Shakespeare, or at least the latest Jackie Collins novel.
of our lives is a collection of stories. There are the stories of the good times, to help us weather the tougher ones. There are the stories of the bad times, to help us reflect, and then there are the stories of the wonder kittens.

Customs shape singing style
By Augustus Anthony Plaxza
Please enter author
Kansan staff writer
Fanning themselves in the 90-degree heat, members of the Kaw Valley Shape Note Singing Association revived a tradition Sunday.
Shape note singing is an American folk tradition of singing hymns and gospel songs from books using shaped noteheads to indicate position in the scale.
It is a participatory event instead of a performance. The singers sit facing each other in a square and take turns leading songs.
"It's not like what you hear everyday on the radio," said Jaanet Synder, Lawrence graduate student.
The songs are sung in three or four parts without instrumental accompaniment.
"You can look at the same page and get all different kinds of experiences from it." Synder said.
Shape-note singing was invented in the 18th century in England to improve the quality of congregational singing by making it easier to learn how to read sheet music. It soon lost its church-centered focus and became an integral part of the social life of the community.
The local group, composed of Lawrence residents and students, started five years ago at the Fiddling and Picking Championships. It meets on the first Sunday of the month in Lawrence.
The group met Sunday at 1042 Rhode Island St. after singing at the 18th annual Kansas State Fiddling and Picking Championships at South Park.
"It's very easy going," said Joe Casad, Lawrence resident. "There is no responsibility, and you don't even have to bring cookies."

in addition to the unorthodox way of singing in a square, members finished the afternoon by standing and shaking hands before they blared out their note.
The Shape Note Singing Association rarely performs in front of a audience.
"It is intended for the enjoyment of the singers rather than the audience." Casad said.
The members dress any way they want and come and go throughout the afternoon.

630 rush to join greek chapters
By Sarah Hale
After a weeklong process of visiting houses and making decisions, 600 women and 30 men joined a sorority or fraternity.
The total number of women that pledged increased, and the total number of men decreased.
Kansan staff writer
This year's 600 pledges out of 863 female rushes was an increase from about 575 pledges out of 830 rushes last year. The number of women who joined chapters was the highest in at least five years, said Bill Nelson, associate director and coordinator for Greek programs. He said that the second highest amount was in 1994 when 585 women pledged out of 763 rushes.
"The new changes affected the numbers somewhat, but it also gave the women a better rush experience in previous years when they had to get up at 5 a.m. and make decisions," said Kara Douglass, Panhellenic vice president for membership. "This is easier physically and mentally."
The women's rush process changed to a preferential ranking system that was intended to give rushes a larger role in decision-making. Another change in the rush process was the assignment of two rush counselors to 40-member rush groups.
Of the 263 women who did not join sororities, 259 withdrew from rush. Four others were not invited back by the chapters.
Chrisie Ostrander, Longmont, Colo., freshman, withdrew from rush after the third round.
"It just wasn't for me," she said. "It just seemed too fake, and everyone wasn't being natural. I also got sick, though, so that had something to do with it."
BAT
Ostrander's roommate, Tracy Elliott, Edmond, Okla., freshman, had a different opinion of the process. She pledged Kappa Alpha Theta sorority Saturday.
"Since I'm from out of state and I didn't really know a lot of people, rush was just a good way for me to meet new people," Elliott said.
The number of men that participated in formal rush and joined fraternities decreased. Of the 47 male rushees, 17 either withdrew or did not show up for registration. The remaining 30 joined chapters. That was a decrease from the 52 rushees and 37 new members last year during formal rush.
Many men do not join a fraternity through a formal rush process; instead, they become involved through an informal process, said Wes Simons, assistant director of greek programs.
Simons said that the men's formal rush process did not have to release anyone; all the men who wanted to join a fraternity did so.
The rush programs for men and women will be evaluated to determine if changes should be made in the formal rush process for fraternities and sororities.

Commentary
Leagues battle about tradition
Of all the hackneyed sports opinions that trouble me, none troubles me more than the concept that the National League is a purer form of baseball than that of the American League.
Actually, upon examination, it seems a rather hollow claim. Is the National League really the league of tradition?
The American League is the home of three of the major's holiest of baseball cathedrals
---
Chip Dewell
Yankee Stadium, Fenway Park and Tiger Stadium. The National League, by contrast, has one in Wrigley Field. Likewise, during the 1960's and early 1970's, cities that played host to NL franchisees started building hideous monstrosities under the guise of multi-purpose sports centers.
I don't know how any
loyal NL fan can defend Riverfront, Veterans, Three Rivers, Candlestick or Olympic stadiums. When it comes to stadiums, whether new or old, the AL clearly has better areas to experience a baseball game.
Aw, but you say, it's a purer game when the pitcher makes a sacrifice bunt, strategically placing the ball on well-manicured grass.
Did you say grass? The National League is the sanctuary of AstroTruo. And I don't mean merely because of its namesake — Monsanto Corporation created the product exclusively for the Houston Astrodome.
today, nearly twice as many NL ballparks feature artificial turf as their AL counterparts. If you exclude all dome stadiums, then the NL has five times as many sites.
what's even more ironic is that none of the stadiums with artificial turf are in places where it is needed.
Seven of the 10 most populous cities in the United States have NL franchises. Larger market teams tend to draw more fans; it's as simple as that.
The designated hitter rule — the bête noire of any NL fan — is another topic in its own right but look at the advantages many NL franchises have in terms of the local fan base.
No wonder the major television networks love to broadcast a Los Angeles Dodgers vs. New York Mets game. The American League has far more small-market teams.
I am pro-choice: If you don't like the DH rule that's fine but don't impose your will on the AL. Admit that having teams alternate between having the pitcher hit in NL parks and DH hit in AL parks during the World Series is a good compromise.
If having an aging working-class hero like Gorman Thomas, Dave Kingman or Dave Parker as designated hitter brings more fans to small-market cities such as Oakland or Seattle, then I am all for it.
The ERAs of pitchers are so bloated in both leagues that I doubt NL curmudgeons can hide behind the argument that the DH destroys pitching.
Most fans, whether you like to admit it or not, prefer to pay money to see a slugfest, not a pitchers' duel.
If that troubles you, then sit at home on your recliner and watch the Cubs on WGN.
Another contentious point is the designation of the NL as the "senior circuit." If people could only say that without such a smug look on their face.

The notion that The Reds was the first major league team doesn't mean it is a defender of tradition.
Do you mean that big yellow line they put up on the outfield wall to determine if a hit is home run at Riverfront? Or maybe you mean those noticeable dark puddles underneath the turf after a heavy rain? And Marge Schott.
Another dividing line between the two leagues might be good ballpark humor.
Having Billy Bilber drop down a slide into a giant vat of beer was great for baseball in Milwaukee. These are antics worthy of Bill Veeck or Charlie Finley.
By contrast, having a swimming pool just behind the fence in right field for fans in Phoenix doesn't do a single thing to enhance the game.
Don't get me wrong, there are National League ballparks and teams that are worth experiencing. It's just that die-hard supporters of the NL who overlook the idiocy of their own league make me laugh.

Women's soccer takes new formation
Coach places scoring power up front to override team's shaky goal record
By Brad Hallier
Kansan sportswriter
One of the most glorious moments in sports is watching a goal in a soccer game and the subsequent celebration.
Anyone who witnessed Holland's Dennis Bergkamp score the goal against Argentina in this summer's World Cup knows about the beauty of goal scoring.
KANSAS SOCCER
For American fans, Eric Wynalda's free kick over a wall of Swiss players into the upper corner of the goal in the 1994 World Cup is a memorable U.S. goal.
Nobody who saw Argentina's superstar Diego Maradona dribble the ball 70 yards around a stunned English defense and score arguably the best goal in history at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico will forget it.
Johanna Larsson, Lulea, Sweden, junior, and Kansas women's soccer forward, certainly will not forget that one.
"Diego could do anything on the ball," she said. "He had all the technical skills to be a great goal scorer."
Goals are essential in soccer, and Kansas Jayhawk women's coach Dan Magner is hoping for plenty of goals this year. The '97 season was disappointing for the Jayhawks offense. The team scored only 31 goals - 1.63 per game.
"Last year, we created a lot of opportu

nutties to score, but we didn't finish them," Magner said.
Two forwards and a central midfielder will be the primary offensive threats from a 5-2-4 formation. Magner is relying on these three to score goals.
"I'll look for these three to create the chances and put the finishing touches for us," he said. "The bulk of the scoring will come from these three, but in soccer, anyone can score."
The feeling of scoring a goal is something many cannot describe.
"I guess it's a sense of accomplishment." Horner said. "It's a thrill to score."
But anyone who has played a sport knows the feeling of the slump that seems endless.
"You have to take it easy, calm down and control the ball close to the goal," Larsson said.
Natalie Hoogveld, Calgary, Alberta, freshman, has one word to describe how slumps end.
"Composuret" she exclaimed, quoting a former coach.
Meghann Haven, Englewood, Colo. junior, relies on teammates when she is in a slump.
"Teammates talking to you can help you through a slump," Haven said. "They cannot give up on you."
They don't damage the starters at the forward and attacking central midfield positions are not set. There are several candidates for the jobs, such as Erin Hon, Serverna Park, Md., senior; Horner; Hoogveld; Larsson; and Haven.
and haven.
"We need to find the right combination of forwards," Haven said. "I feel I definitely can step in and score."
Magner said the forwards would have many responsibilities.
"They will need to take the ball, hold it and allow their teammates to join the attack," he said. "Of course, we will rely on them to score goals. Everyone needs to share the responsibility of scoring, but we do need the forwards to come through in key situations."
Horner said she thought that she could contribute what Magner wants.
"I can possess the ball well and bring
others into the attack and create opportunities," she said.
The connection between the forwards and the entire midfield is important. Hon is a possible candidate for the attacking central midfielder, and she wants to set up the scoring in addition to trying to score herself.
"When I get the ball, I look to be a playmaker and get assists," she said.
Magner is looking for the attacking
central midfielder to work well with the forwards.
"An attacking central midfielder's role is to interact with the forwards, give them the ball and get it back from them," he said.
Although someone on the team may not score a goal of Maradona's caliber, an increase in goal production would be a rewarding achievement for the soccer team this year.
Volleyball players set to learn

It is like a whole new world.
It is like a whole new worker. At least, that is how Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard describes the leap from being a high school athlete to a Division I competitor. The transition can be frustrating, he said.

All three freshmen were highly recognized in high school. Elizabeth Herbek, a middle blocker from Fairfield, Neb., was the captain of the Nebraska high school all-state team, and Molly LaMere, a setter from Papillion, Neb., was named Nebraska's top settler last fall.
Freshman, Crystal Walker, an outside hitter from Osawatomie, was a two-time Kansas all-state selection and three-time all-league selection in high school.
Bechard said LaMere had an advantage compared to many freshmen because she played for a Junior Olympic volleyball team. Junior Olympic volleyball is an off-season, national league for high school athletes.
LaMere's team, the Nebraska Juniors, played in competitive tournaments throughout the United States. She led the Nebraska Juniors to a fifth-place finish at nationals.
Despite the experience of competing nationally, she said she still felt a little overwhelmed by the athleticism of her Kansas teammates.
"I have to be patient with myself," LaMere said. "In high school, you know what you're doing. But here, it's like you're starting all over again. The plays are different, and we call them by different numbers than we did in high school."
LaMere and the other two freshmen said the upperclassman and coaches had eased the adjustment by offering advice and pushing them in practice.
pushing them in practice.
"The upperclassmen have been good about giving us feedback," LaMere said. "They tell us what we're doing wrong and what works."
Bechard said he would focus on basic drills with the freshmen and move them along as they mastered the fundamentals, which is the same strategy he is using with experienced players.
players.
"As quickly as this game moves, it is difficult to fix things in the middle of the play," Bechard said. "We're working on little things and slowly raising the bar. We're keeping the goals of our drills at a height where it will take our best effort to be successful because that will be how most of our games will be."

Tuesday August 25,1998
HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Aug. 25).
Look introspectively this year, and you'll find the person you always wished you could be. Spend part of September on personal analysis. Emphasize the good and toss the bad. A friend whispers a great way to save money in October. Act quickly. By December you'll be busy entertaining.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is a 7. It looks like you're in the spotlight, and one of your hidden talents will be revealed. Somebody thinks you're pretty neat and that might be embarrassing. Well, you're pretty brave in most scary situations.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Today is a 6. The sun is in Virgo, and the moon is in Libra. It looks like your luck in love is increasing. You may be feeling confident enough to tackle a project that intimidated you before.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Today is a 6. Everybody is charmed by your wit and fascinated by your insights, except possibly your mate, or a Virgo friend. Well, maybe they really are. It's possible the most critical person you know is one of your biggest fans.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): Today is a 5.
It looks like your focus is on housecleaning again.
That could be mentally cleaning up old misunderstandings with a roommate, or it could be letters or memos that need to be written explaining things to family.
Leo (July 23-Aug, 22); Today is an 8.
Remember that book on investing you own? Where did you put it? This would be the perfect day to get it out and read it. An investment you make now could help secure your future.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Today is a 6.
Money is still a problem, but you're starting to get more attention. People are asking you for favors, although they may be a bit reluctant to pay for them yet. That's okay. You can develop this into a good business, once you show people what you can do.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Today is a 7.
You always work best with a partner. When the other person is assertive, you tend to be passive and vice versa. That's why almost everyone thinks you're a good partner. You make the necessary modifications to support them in whatever they're doing.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Today is a 5.
Looks like there's a mess that needs your attention. Be assertive about it. Gather whatever you need or ask questions and follow through to get answers. Be pushy. This thing needs to be resolved so you can get on to something else.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a 7.
This should be a good day for getting organized.
That's the recurring theme. You sometimes think people who plan ahead are mentally ill. It cramps your style to figure out where you're going to at each place on your agenda, but that may be necessary.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today is a 5.
Not only do you want to travel, you also are curious about almost everything. However, it's a little difficult to apply what you're learning right now. It looks like there's a conflict between the way your routine is established and the way you'd like things to be done
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today is a 7.
Travel backons again, and you may have to refuse
again. Obligations are holding you back for a little
longer. Contact a foreigner, and set a date for later.
Treat yourself to a foreign dinner tonight. Although it's
not quite the same, it'll be fun anyway.
2
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 5.
You look good now. Your confidence is increasing with your good judgment. Practice that when it comes to spending money. There's something you want but can't afford. If you shop around, you can get a better deal on it. That's important. Don't spend frivolously, even though more money is coming.

Bowden not looking for early retirement
OMAHA, Neb. — If Florida State wins a football title again, do not expect coach Bobby Bowden to follow his friend, former Nebraska coach Tom Osborne, into retirement.
The 68-year-old Bowden said he would not retire even if the Seminoles went undefeated and got a chance to give him a second national championship.
"I wouldn't go out if I had five of them (national championships)," Bowden said Sunday night at a charity roast of Osborne in Omaha. "I don't want to go out. As long as I can stay healthy, I want to coach. I have no desire to retire."
Bowden, who won a championship in 1993, said he did not know how to take Osborne's retirement announcement in December, a few weeks before Nebraska won the Orange Bowl and a share of the national championship. "I just felt like I probably always thought I would retire before he would," Bowden said.
Osborne, 61, who had bypass surgery years ago and an irregular heartbeat last season, cited health problems and a desire to spend more time with his family as a reason for his retirement.
About 500 people, including a number of Heisman Trophy winners,

Rodgers, a former Nebraska star running back who won the Heisman in 1971, persuaded Bowden to make the trip, even though he had to fly back to Tallahassee, Fla., for meetings at 8:30 a.m. yesterday.
"I don't think I would have done it for any other coach in the country but Tom Osborne," Bowden said.

Illinois State gains hope from recruited talent
NORMAL, III. — Illinois State football coach Todd Derry thinks he finally has enough talented players to reap big rewards for the Redbirds this season.
"We have done a good job recruiting. That's very evident when you step on the field." Berry said. "We're starting to dress out to be a pretty good team. We're big and can run."
The Redbirds hope to rebound from a disappointing 1997 when the team dropped the final eight games and finished at 2-9, lowering Berry's two-year record to 5-17. ISU is 0-11 in Gateway Conference contests under Berry, a former East Carolina offensive coordinator.
Illinois State will visit Lawrence to play the Jayhawks Sept. 19, and Berry said his team was unquestionably better this year.
How much better? He must wait at least until the Sept. 12 opper against St. Francis at Hancock Stadium to find out.
His offensive line also is his best, with tackle Tony Knutson and guard Mike Rodbro returning as starters.
Berry thinks the Redbirds' ground game will show little resemblance to the team that averaged a mere 2.8 yards per rush last season. He said Clemson transfer Sam Zanders, sophomore Aeion Cason and freshman Willie Watts were more talented than any running back ISU has had recently.
"I can't overstate how that impacts how people have to defend us." Berry said.
Kicker Jake Struder hit seven of 12 field-goal attempts and averaged 41.2 yards punting his freshman season.
Inexperience figures to haunt the Redbird defense, although the secondary should be better.
The position Berry is most worried about is the defensive line where tackle Devon Finn is the only player with any ISU game experience. Illinois transfer Conrad Adams is set at one of the ends.

Comets guard coach selected as most valuable
HOUSTON — Houston Comets guard Cynthia Cooper and coach Van Chancellor were named yesterday the WNBA's most valuable player and coach of the year for the second-straight year.
Cooper led the WNBA in scoring for the second-straight season with a 22.7 average. She averaged 4.4 assists and was fourth in the league in three-point shooting and free-throw shooting.
Cooper received 37 first-place votes and a total of 426 points. Her closest rival was Jennifer Gillom of Phoenix, who received eight first-place votes and 303 total points.
Chancellor led the Comets to a league record of 27-3, which included a league-best 15-game winning streak.
The Comets set a league record averaging 76 points per game and also led the league in defense, allowing 63.6 points per game.
Chancellor received 26 first-place votes, and Detroit coach Nancy Lieberman-Cline finished second.

Running backs high on hope
By Jodi M. Smith
Kansas City, KS
It requires quick feet, a good spin, effective fake and cut moves and incredible quickness.
And if you play for the Kansas Jayhawks, you don't even have to be 6-feet tall.
Kansan sportswriter
The position is running back, and the Jayhawks may have one of the shortest groups of runners in the country.
Six of the backs, three fullbacks and three halfbacks, range in height from 5-feet-7 to 6 feet. They range in weight from 175 pounds to 260 pounds.
But a lack of size is not affecting the Kansas running backs, and neither is a lack of confidence.
After running for more than 100 hundred yards in only six games last season — the low was -46 yards rushing against Cincinnati — the running backs, especially David Winbush, do not feel any pressure.
Winbush, the most experienced and also one of the youngest players, said he was not nervous about the role he will play for the Hawks this year.
"It's really kind of easy this year," Winbusl said. "Really, the only pressure I really feel is the performance part of it when game time comes. Besides that, I'm going to be pretty comfortable." Despite having one senior in the running back position, the group is far from inexperienced.
Winbush ranked second on the team last year in
Winbush, junior Mitch Bowles and senior
Julius Buege all saw action last season.

rushing with 338 yards on 61 attempts
The experience of the offensive line also could add to increased productivity by the running backs.
"Communication is a lot better." Winbush said. "It's a big step up from last year. It's a more comfortable thing where you know it's going to be there instead of coming to the hole looking. You know it's going to be there."
Running back coach Michael Garrison said he still could see some of the old problems, though.
"We still have some miscommunications here and there, and we'll get it straightened out before the first game," Garrison said. "The experience makes it a lot better."
As much as the running backs would like to be perfect now, they might have to work longer to reach that goal.
"We probably won't be where we need to be until about November," Garrison said.

Chiefs camp brings bucks to River Falls
The Associated Press
RIVER FALLS, Wis. — The Kansas City Chiefs pump about $2 million into the local economy when the team holds its training camp in this northwestern Wisconsin community.
This year's four-week camp probably will generate even more than that, predicted Larry Swain, a community development specialist with the University of Wisconsin-River Falls' Rural Development Institute.
Swain surveys out-of-town visitors to the Chiefs camp each year to measure their impact on the local economy. The camp drew about 17,500 visitors this year, nearly a third of those being Chiefs fans from Missouri, Kansas and Iowa.
"They're coming to see the Chiefs," Swain said. "The Chiefs fans are kind of like (Green Bay) Packers fans and University of Nebraska fans. They're purist football fans.
This year, UW-River Falls worked in partnership with the St. Croix Valley Tourism Alliance to promote the Chiefs camp.
They come in full regalia."
A camp Internet Web site has registered 1.8 million visits since going online July 1, said Mark Kinders, director of the university's news bureau.
The university and the tourism alliance sent out more than 10,000 packets of information about local attractions to Chiefs fans in Missouri, Kansas and Iowa. Kinders said.
"These are visitors who are spending a lot of time up here, and they're spending a lot of money," Kinders said.
Swain said the average out-of-town visitor to Chiefs camp stays in River Falls 2.3 days and spends $64 in the city each day.
The Chiefs have signed on for another two years in the city, with an option for a third.
McGwire gets breather from afternoon game
The Associated Press
PITTSBURGH, Pa.
Mark
FITTLE McGwire, ahead of Roger Maris' record homer run pace with 53 homers and more than a month to play, was not in the starting lineup for the St. Louis Cardinals' afternoon game yesterday in Pittsburgh, Pa
A
Mark McGwire:
Took day off the
field yesterday.
Despite scoring home runs in the first two games of the series and six times in five days, McGwire and manager Tony La Russa decided a week ago McGwire would not start yesterday.
"Hey, if I can get a day off, I'm going to take a day off," he said.
McGwire also did not start the
first game Friday night in New York as the Cardinals played doubleheaders on consecutive days. After yesterday, McGwire expects to sit out only one more of the Cardinals' 31 remaining games as he pursues Maris' record of 61 homers, set in 1961.
The Cardinals, now playing a stretch of 18 games in 16 days, do not have a scheduled off day until Sept. 3.
McGwire, who did not take batting practice before homering Saturday and Sunday against the Pirates, planned to take batting practice yesterday, but it was canceled by a pregame rainstorm.
After McGwire homered on 11 consecutive batting practice swings Friday night in New York, fans jammed the left-field stands in Three Rivers Stadium Saturday and Sunday, only to be disappointed when McGwire did not hit.
Asked if he felt any obligation to take batting practice, McGwire said, "No," explaining later it was more important for him to rest periodically during the 162-game season.

KUIDs receive false codes
(USPS 650-640)
Same number given to 80 cards
By Kelli Rayborn
Kansan staff writer
The KU Public Safety Office has terminated an investigation of KUIDs issued with duplicate library numbers.
According to a KU police report, Paul Shearer, Leawood sophomore, told a co-worker and his supervisor that he had issued about 500 KUIDs with the same librav account numbers.
Shearer said that the duplication was unintentional and that the scale of the problem was much smaller than 500 KUIDs.
"That number is completely inaccurate." Shearer said.
The duplicated number was entered on no more than 80 cards, he said.
Nancy Miles, KUID administrator for the University, explained that a student's library number is the same as
the ID number, but is preceded by an x. If a library number did not match a student's ID number on the face of the card, library personnel would not check out materials on that card. Miles said.
"There was a situation where the library number was duplicated on some cards," Miles said.
She said that the students affected had been contacted and that the card center was processing new cards for them.
The University of Kansas
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
1947
Miles said nothing else had gone wrong with the cards in relation to this incident.
"This was the only thing that occurred," she said. "Students don't have anything to be concerned about."
Miles said the error was made
Shearer said the duplications were an error resulting from insufficient training.
"The supervisor gave me a 90-second crash course in data entry," he said. "She didn't supervise me at all; she fed me to the lions."
"I entered in same number. I thought it was a generic number."
when employees had to manually enter library numbers on the cards of freshmen whose records were not yet on the office's computers.
Mary Ann Graham, KU card center manager, told police the following:
On August 19, she found a number taped to Shearer's computer while Shearer was at lunch. Graham asked employee Heather Woodward about the number.
Woodward told her the number was a student's KUID number, and that Shearer had told Woodward he'd issued 500 cards with that number on the library accounts.
Shearer told Woodward it would be funny if the newspapers found out about the incident and warned Woodward to keep her mouth shut about it.
When Shearer returned to the center from lunch, Graham confronted Shearer with Woodward's story and fired him. According to Graham's comments in the report, Shearer admitted to issuing the cards and did not argue about being fired.
Miles said yesterday that Shearer was not fired in connection with the incident but for other reasons that she would not disclose.
In the police report, Graham said employees of the KU Card Center completed a report of their records and determined that Shearer only had issued the duplicated number on three KUIDs.
University Police Sgt. Troy Mailen said no charges would be filed against Shearer.
"It has run its full course," Mailen said. "The case didn't warrant investigating it any longer."
PARTYTIME!
By Jason Pearco Kansan staff writer
For the second consecutive year, a survey confirmed that University of Kansas students know how to party.
Kansas never had made the top 10 before last year's ranking.
The University remained eighth on the list of party schools in the nation, according to a survey by The Princeton Review.
The State University of New York at Albany jumped two spots from last year's survey to become the best party school in the land, while Big 12 rival Colorado was ranked fifth in the survey.
Nicole Kirby, Kansas City, Kan. junior, said that she had noticed an influx of parties and busy bars recently.
"When you walk past the bars on Massachusetts street, people are just pouring in and out of them," she said. "I also walked down Ohio Street last weekend and saw four parties in one block."
Kirby said that she did not choose to attend the University because of the social atmosphere, but that it did help her enjoy college more.
"I did not know KU had such a big reputation for being a party school until I got here," she said.
The Princeton Review publishes a book called "The Best 311 Colleges"
It ranks the top 20 colleges in 61 categories on aspects of campus life ranging from the strongest academic programs to the nicest dorm rooms.
Each year, 56,000 students are surveyed about the college or university they attend but do not compare their school to others.
Bill Guerry, Shawnee sophomore, said that although the number of parties in Lawrence had remained constant during the last year, he still was skeptical of the ranking.
"There could be some smaller schools that party as much or more," Guerry said. "But since the people here already know this is a party school, they may over exaggerate the survey."
Danner Evans, an orientation assistant at the University, participated in a session during summer orientation that encouraged new students to make smart choices with parties and alcohol.
"The Watkins staff told us that only one-third of students drink and party," she said. "So there are a few students who don't go out and party all the time."
The survey also ranked Kansas sixth in schools that pack the stadiums at sporting events and 12th in schools where the college newspaper is read.
Evans said she did not think students chose to come to the University based on the survey's outcome.

KU smartcard creates problems for residence halls
By Sarah Hale
Kansan staff writer
The new University of Kansas smart card has many capabilities, but another form of identification is needed in at least one other campus area — the residence halls.
The University's answer to hassle-free banking, campus purchases and updated technology has caused problems in the residence halls when students need to check out equipment or check in their friends between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m.
In past years, residents would leave their KUID with the front desk or the evening security while they borrowed a vacuum cleaner or brought someone to visit.
Because the KUIDs have ATM access and
"The residence halls have made a policy internally because of the perceived liability," said Lindy Eakin, associate provost of support services. "If you have money on the chip, then the person you leave it with would be able to use it."
can be used for vending machine purchases, the residence halls decided not to keep them as collateral.
Eakin pointed out that the ATM money could not be accessed or charged as a check card without the pin number.
In place of the KUID, residence halls are accepting any other form of picture identification, including a driver's license, military ID or passport. This applies to both the KU students who want to enter a hall during security hours and the resident

who is checking them in.
James Fritzshall, Kansas City, Mo., senior and Templin Hall front desk employee, said that some residents had grumbled about the inconvenience. He said that Monday night he had a student complain about having to get a different form of identification.
"I haven't heard that many complaints,
"We just tell them that they are leaving the card with us at their own risk," he said. "Then we have to explain why."
but obviously that student wasn't too happy," Fritzshall said. "He and his friend decided to go some place else."
Fritzshall said that even though the front desk employees ask for alternate forms of ID, they will accept the smart card if the student does not have anything else.
The University has the technology avail.
able to place the same type of scanners in the residence halls, but there is not the demand at this point, said Mary Ann Graham, KU card center manager. There are scanners in the residence halls that are used to check in the hall's residents during security hours, but they do not have the same type of capabilities.
Robinson Center initially had similar problems when students wanted to leave their KUIDs in order to check out towels. New scanners were installed at Robinson to allow students to check out a towel and then return it without having to leave their card.
"Depending on how big of an issue this becomes, then they could consider other options," Graham said. "Then there are the expenses of wiring and machines."
The KUID has other capabilities within the residence halls, such as entering the cafeteria, making long distance phone calls and eventually using washers and dryers. The residence halls' vending machines will also be equipped to accept KUIDs.

Lawrence man beaten near Riverfront Plaza
Lawrence police found a local man bleeding from his mouth and the right side of his head Monday near the Riverfront Plaza.
The man, 27, was assaulted after an argument erupted between the victim and at least one other person in the wooded area of the Kansas River bank east of the mall, Lawrence Police said.
"Individuals had been consuming alcohol. They got into an altercation, and someone was injured," said Lawrence Police Sgt. George Wheeler.
Suspects in the assault have been interviewed, but no arrests have been made.
Pizza place robbers scored less than $100, police say
The two men who robbed Lawrence Pizza Co., 601, Kasold St., and four of its employees late Sunday night got away with less than $100, Lawrence police said.
There was also about $120-worth of personal belongings stolen from the store, at 601 Kasold, and its employees.
Police said that the four employees, Lawrence residents between the ages of 19 to 24, were robbed of a purse, two wallets and other personal items such as driver's licenses and credit cards.
Police still have not caught the two robbers and do not have any suspects.
The men were last seen running away from the store wearing bandannas on their heads and faces. They were carrying a handgun, which was used in the robbery. No shots were fired.

African studies professor runs international studies
Beverly Mack, associate professor of African and African-American studies, replaced Terry Weidner Aug. 4 as associate dean of International Programs.
"I'm excited to be working with people throughout the University with international studies." Mack said.
Andrew Debicki, dean of the Graduate School and International Programs, said that Mack had excellent credentials, and that International Programs was lucky to have her.
She speaks four languages besides English and has a doctorate in African languages and literature from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Mack has published three books and has two more in progress about the role of women in West African scholarship and poetry.
She was on the faculty at George Mason University, Yale University, Georgetown University and Bavero University in Nigeria.
Welder left the University of Kansas to take a position as director of the Asian studies center at the University of Missouri at Columbia.
Mack's new job will be to work with international study centers and assist with grant preparations and aid departments in developing international components for their programs.

Fraternities at Kentucky, West Virginia booze-free
The days when hundreds of students could pile into a fraternity house to chug from kegs and liquor-filled bathtubs are finished at West Virginia University and the University of Kentucky.
Carolyn Mollett
Starting this week, West Virginia University's 15 chapter houses are phasing out alcohol. By the 2000-2001 school year, they will be alcohol-free.
At Kentucky's campus in Lexington, officials banned alcohol from on-campus undergraduate housing, including the school's fraternities. Sororites have been dry for years.
The drive to ban alcohol took on added importance with the alcohol-related deaths of students last year at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Louisiana State University.
Kentucky is one of nine universities to adopt alcohol-free housing, according to the Indianapolis-based National Interfraternity Conference, which represents 66 national fraternities. The others are Rhode Island, Idaho, Iowa, Oklahoma State, Utah State, Northern Arizona, Colorado and Washington State.
At West Virginia University, the new drinking policy that went into effect Monday allows for some drinking this and next year but only under strict supervision and with much more limited guest lists than in previous years.
Sororities at the university already are dry. The policies took effect the same day The Princeton Review released its rankings of the nation's best party schools, West Virginia, which reigned for a year, fell 10 spots to 11th place in this year's survey.
Restaurant patron killed in South African bombing
WORLD
CAPE TOWN, South Africa — A bomb exploded inside a crowded Planet Hollywood restaurant yesterday, killing one person and injuring more than a dozen, police said.
The explosion occurred at 7:20 p.m., when the restaurant was packed with diners, said Police Senior Superintendent John Sterrenberg.
He said one woman had died and at least 15 people were injured. The number of people confirmed injured was likely to rise to between 25 and 30 people, he said. Details about the victims were not known.
There were no immediate claims of responsibility.
Police were guarding the perimeter the restaurant and were not allowing entrance into the trendy Victoria and Albert Waterfront. Ambulances arrived at the scene, and explosives experts went inside.

Groups follow display guides
By Chad Bottos
Kansan staff writer
With students back on campus, University organizations and commercial vendors want to attract attention with colorful displays and free gifts.
But these groups must follow guidelines to receive permission to display information and products on campus.
Gene Wee, union reservations coordinator, said groups received display permits based on a set of guidelines.
Informational tables promote ideas or participation in certain activities. Student organizations are among those that use this permit.
After a group applies, Wee approves the application if it is for a student organization or for an official University group and if no sales will be made at the table. He also checks the availability of space for the dates requested. No fees are charged for informational groups,
No fees are charged for informational groups, Wee said.
Commercial tables are set up with the purpose of selling goods or services. Commercial applications are sent to the University Events Committee for review and include a $10 fee.
Danny Kaiser, events committee chairman, said the primary consideration for commercial permits was that each applicant have a sponsor. A sponsor can be any registered student or campus organization that will benefit financially from the commercial activity. Twenty percent of sales generated from the commercial tables should be shared with the sponsor group.
"There is high demand for these permits during the first two weeks of the semester," said Kaiser, whose committee meets each Wednesday.
Credit card companies, though commercial, follow slightly different guidelines. Wee said. He refers the companies to Mike Reid, KU Bookstores manager, for approval.
"Applications can be turned down if they compete with the interests of the University," Wee said.
The number of tables inside the Kansas Union is limited to six per day. Permits for Wescoe Beach are limited to five per day. A greater number of tables can be set up along Jayhawk Boulevard, but certain areas are limited to keep pedestrian traffic unimpeded.
An exception this year was made for Commerce Bank, which has set up three tables while its permanent office is prepared on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union.

Student Senate seeks committee members
Joining system offers chances to impact campus
By Soth Jones
Kansan staff writer
Deadline to join a Student Senate committee is Friday, and members of Senate hope for their best turnout ever.
Student Senate President Kevin Yoder and Vice President Scott
Kaiser have been campaigning to get more students involved in the committee system. By posting signs around campus, speaking to residence halls and distributing 1,000 fliers, they hope to have as many students involved in the workings of Senate as possible.
"The more students that are involved, the better job of representing the opinion of KU students," Yoder said. "The committee system as a whole is the groundwork of a successful year of Student Senate."
Students do not have to be elected Senate to serve on a committee.
Students who decide to join are obligated to meet at the Kansas Union every other Wednesday. The first meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Sept. 2, in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
To sign up for a committee, students can stop by the Student Senate office on the 4th floor of the Kansas Union to fill out an application, on which they should list their top two committee choices. The committee options are finance, graduate affairs, multicultural affairs, student rights and university affairs. Students will find out
COMMITTEES
Deadline for application is Friday.
First meeting: 6 p.m. Sept. 2 in the Kansas Union Ballroom
which committee they are on when they attend the first meeting.
Aaron Profit, vice chairman of the university affairs committee, joined a committee last year as a freshman.
"It's your first opportunity, as a freshman or anyone, to make an actual impact on KU," he said. "We deal with over $1 million, and it's important to know where it goes."
Sarah Yannaccone, student rights committee member, feels that it is important to know what is going on in Senate.
"So much happens on Senate that students don't know about. Committees meet on such things as add/drop, advising, student rights, finance and so on. You can learn so much about the University this way."
Korb Maxwell, legislative director of Senate, said that attendance was usually good at the first committee meeting but that then it suffered a drop-off.
"We usually get a ton of students at the first informational meeting, but then some people decide it's not for them, so they stop coming," he said. "But this year, we're going to keep it fun and upbeat, and if they're like me, they get the hook in them after two meetings."
Yoder said the first meeting would be an orientation.
"We're going to tell everyone how student senate works; we'll go over basic legislation; we'll try to get people to meet each other; and we'll tell them how they can be involved," he said.
Support system assists minorities
By Steph Brower
Kansan staff writer
When Yasmeen Coleman, Kansas City, Kan., junior, first came to the University of Kansas in 1992, she felt lost. Because she was a minority student at a predominantly white university, she searched for a support system but did not find one.
Eventually, Coleman left the University. This year she is back and is determined to make a difference. By starting a chapter of the National Council of Negro Women, Coleman hopes to give the University's African-American women the support system she did not have as a freshman.
She said she wanted to regain an African-American community that had diminished in the years since her siblings were students.
But Coleman did not find that community.
"My brothers and sisters went here in the early '80s, and there were a lot more African-American students," she said. "They were a community."
"When I first came in 1992, there were only 600 African Americans, and we are losing African Americans at an alarming rate," she said. "College is hard, and at 18 years old, I was not ready for this."
Coleman said she hoped that NCNW would help freshmen deal with the pressure.
So far, about 50 women have signed up as potential members of the KU chapter, and the organization has gained an adviser, Danielle Dempsey-Swopes, associate director at the Equal Opportunity Office.
The non-profit organization was founded in 1935 by Mary McLeod Bethune, an educator and government consultant. It is supported by 38 nationally affiliated organizations and has 250 community-based sections.
I am a member of a historically Black Greek organization, and it has really helped me, especially in my college years, but I understand it's not for everybody," Dempsey-Swopes said.
FIRST MEETING
6 p.m.
Sept. 3
Daisy Hill Room in the Burge
Union
She said NCNW had the benefits of an African-American sorority without the obligations and academic requirements.
"It's like a sorority, but looser," she said.
Coleman sees the organization as something that will unite African-American women on campus. One of the programs she wants to start is a mentoring program involving students and professional African-American women.
"These women know the struggle." Coleman said.
Through the mentoring program, students could begin networking for internships and jobs, she said.
"We need to know these women," she said. "We're all after the same goal."
Coleman also plans to hold economic and empowerment seminars, a women's leadership retreat, an African-American literary group and AIDS- and breast cancer-awareness programs.
Vanassa Robinson, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore, said a group such as NCNW was needed on campus.
"I think it will help us to come together and learn more about ourselves as Black women," she said.
The small population of African-American women creates the need for unity, she said.
ates the need for unity, she said. "We don't get to voice our opinion as much," she said. "We're not asked. We're not represented."
Coleman said African-American women needed to put aside problems and work together.
"Even though we may have differences,we should all have a common goal to uplift people," she said.
NCNW will hold its first informational meeting at 6 p.m. Sept. 3 at the Daisy Hill Room in the Burge Union.

Move aside art gallery. Here comes Commerce Bank.
New bank displaces art gallery
Since last spring, students knew they would be carrying the new KUID with the smart chip this year. Now, a branch of the Commerce Bank and the KU Card Center are settling into their new home on the fourth level of the Kansas Union, displacing the Student Union Activities' art gallery.
Commerce Bank, KUID center force Union realignment
gallery Jim Long, director of the Kansas and Burge Unions, said the bank and the card center should be complete by Friday. For now, Commerce Bank is operating from tables on the Union's fourth floor and the center is temporarily in the television lounge.
Once the bank and card center is complete, the art gallery will move permanently into the television lounge.
The television lounge now is in the Union's Jawbow.
The art gallery move had prompted some adjustments, said Kielyn Scott, SUA president.
"The TV lounge will be our new art gallery," Scott said. "We can't have any exhibits in the gallery until it's complete. That's why
"Our first exhibit is scheduled for September. If the gallery isn't complete, we have to use the display cases in the Union," she said.
"It was never our attempt to displace anyone," Miles said. "We looked at other buildings, and we thought the Kansas Union was a good central location."
Nancy Miles, KUID administrator, said the main objective of adding a bank to the union was to provide convenience for students.
Mary Ann Graham, KU Card Center manager, said that having Commerce Bank and the center share a location made it convenient for students who have an account set up on their cards.
"With a bank on campus, you can get your card and open your account in the same place," Graham said.
we've been having our poster sale in the lobby instead of the gallery.
Long said in past surveys students expressed a need for a fullservice bank on campus.
When phase three of the Kansas Union renovations take place, Long said the art gallery would be expanded.
"In addressing the temporary nature of the gallery, we look to expand our facilities," Long said. "It's our commitment to continuing the art gallery program. We have plans to accommodate the gallery in the next phase of our renovations."

Club to take objective look at Ayn Rand
By Pallavi Agarwal
Kansan staff writer
The works of controversial writer and philosopher Ayn Rand, who penned The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, may not be studied extensively at the University of Kansas, but a group of KU students is doing precisely that.
nree students have started the Ayn Rand Objectivist Club to better understand the author's writings and spread her philosophy of Objectivism, said Marta Erazmus, president of the club.
The club's first event is a video presentation, introducing RAND the phil-
losophy of reason, egoism, individualism and laissez-faire capitalism, which she broadly called Objectivism.
The video will be shown at 7:30 tonight at Alcove G in the Kansas Union.
Her philosophy of rugged individualism is considered controversial because it professes total individual freedom and is considered dangerous in certain fields like politics, said Charles Masington, professor in English said.
"Cultural studies are often done comparing Objectivism to fascist movements like Hitler's," he said.

But what is indigestible to some is fodder to others.
Erazmus is drawn to Rand'd belief in man as the superachleaver.
"In her writings, she portrays man as a heroic person and makes you feel that it is possible to succeed irrespective of whatever comes your way. Erazmus said.
Others are drawn to the following she commands and the institutions named after her.
"Her philosophical view is certainly original even if extreme, and she certainly has a good following in campuses around the country," said Kristi Bisel, Overland Park senior, who recently up for the club.
Group discussions about how her ideas relate to campus and world issues will take place, Erazmus said.
"I know that while several students may not have read her extensively, they are in a mood to find something more," Erazmus said.

Columns about bombings were based on emotion, not facts
I'm writing in response to the August 24th editorials by Donato Flhunsu and Tom Winter. Each author wrote disparagingly in their respective articles about the United States use of force in retaliation to terrorism. Flhunsu shows concern regarding the cost of our retaliation and is even more consumed with the world's focus on hate, revenge and violence rather than love and forgiveness. Winter concocts a crude analogy that fails to accurately illustrate the breadth of the situation, while calling the U.S. action immoral and illegal.
I am disappointed to see two columnists writing with little respect to the terrorist movement, counterterrorism theories and even the facts. Rather, the two wrote emotionally based articles that barely scratched the surface of a much more complicated problem. Fhunsu correctly notes the extremists group's religious edict that calls for Muslims to kill Americans and their allies to receive great rewards from God.Most of the people being taught this are poorly educated and have little knowledge of their religion beyond the words of their leaders. When terrorists believe they have the mandate of God, there are no constraints to the application of terrorism beyond finances and technological capabilities.The terrorists' objective is revenge and the expression of hatred toward us.For some terrorists, their campaigns are used to express anger toward policy and as we support, whereas others seethe United States as the great Satan, and they seek nothing but the destruction of the United States, not change in policies or positions.Many Americans cannot or do not want to believe that people would hate us.Some like to believe that there is a simple misunderstanding, but to the contrary some terrorist groups hate us because they understand us.The terrorists who took over the American Embassy in Iran were educated in America and most of those arrested in connection with the World Trade Center bombing were living in the United States.
We know that terrorists do not lack motives, considering religion or politics, without including revenge for our counter-attack. Further terrorist attacks on the U.S. and its allies, which would be perceived as revenge attacks, would likely have occurred anyway as the terrorist groups acquired money, weapons and intelligence information.Past and future pre-emptive military strikes can therefore play a significant role in counterterrorism.Refraining from military counterattacks only allows terrorist groups to grow, organize, and collect information and weapons uninterrupted.Military attacks can force these groups to spend their time repairing damages to their bases and fearing for their lives rather than planning or committing further acts of terrorism.
I directly challenge Winter's claim that the government's actions were unjust and immoral. Would it be more moral to continue putting American lives at stake by not aggressively seeking to combat terrorism?As for Winter's assertion that the strike was illegal, he is dead wrong. The Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996
(originally S. 735, introduced by Sen. Bob Dole) gives the President power "to use all necessary means, including covert action and military force, to disrupt, dismantle, and destroy international infrastructure used by international terrorists, including overseas terrorist training facilities and safe havens," in section 324 (4).
Perhaps if either of these two authors had been, or were to become directly affected by terrorists' acts, their stance would change. I welcome each of them to seek out the terrorists to discuss human rights and world peace or offer hugs and love and possibly even leather bound, monogrammed copies of the Koran. World peace is a wonderful notion, but nothing more. There will always be groups of radicals disenfranchised with the rest of the world who will use terrorism as an easy, effective way to gain attention. The best we can do is support the use of counterterrorism measures and keep the peace in our own back yards.

Student encouraged by editor to be an active participant in the Kansan
I was a little surprised when Jodie Chester wrote in her column that she rarely got to hear from the readers because I thought that I was the odd one out who was always too diffident to go forth and respond. It was those lines that motivated me to give a reader's feedback as soon as possible.
I liked your clarion call to one and all to be a part of the Kansan — because it is their newspaper and they ought to treat it like their own. It's very welcome news that the Kansan will expand its horizon and have more national and international coverage. I for one would like to broaden my horizon instead of stagnating as a 'kupamanduk' — the Bengali counterpart of the proverbial frog in the pond, and having no communication with the outside world. However no matter how much I wish for it because of my current financial situation, it would be a luxury to subscribe to a newspaper. Since I've been in Lawrence, the Kansan has been a key source of information for me. I know I can access news galore from the Internet but reading out of a newspaper in your hands has its unique pleasures, which can't be replaced. Standing on the threshold of the next century, I know technological progress and other factors have made other media more popular than newspapers, but I don't think one can be a substitute for the other—each compliments the other with its own charms, and I hope it will continue to do so for centuries to come.
So for me the Kansan holds much value — the only news paper that I get to read at home. The more information I get from it the better it is for me. I appreciate you giving the readers a vivid picture of the newsroom and the activities revolving around it. This way you make us a part of it too. Thanks for making me an active reader.

Morality neither begins nor ends with Clinton
Perspective
The economy is booming and terrorism is looming. Impeachment is a delusion of grandeur for Republicans, Ken Starr and any married man who has not committed adultly — and judging by recent divorce statistics there are not many. Wake up! No one cares if Clinton had a sexual affair with "that woman," Miss Lewinsky.
separation of church and state. I know, I know. Clinton must appear like a man who has forsaken religion and has turned to hedonism to some, and perhaps to others he represents what is wrong with the moral infrastructure in this country. If the leader of the free world cannot be a good moral example, then how can we expect others to follow the strictures of the American moral code. Moral sentiment creeps within our society.
It cannot be upheld or destroyed by any single person. The President of the United States is just like everyone else keeping sordid secrets in their closets. This political tirade by anti-Clintonites is so laced with biased moral hypocrisy that it is difficult to tell the pretentious, who claim to know the difference between good and evil and shove it down the ignorant populace's throat, from the sycophants, who are obsequious to every pseudomoral paradigm shift in this country.

Why is everyone so ashamed of Clinton? Why do so many think that he has debased the presidency? It's simple. We live in the tabloid age, and if there was no dirt many journalists would be out of work. Many of Clinton's sworn enemies would be twiddling their thumbs. Besides, the American public loves juicy gossip. So many people are outraged by Clinton's character yet they hang on his every word, tune into *Dateline* and read the front page of USA Today everyday.
Some argue that we live in a morally corrupt society that is now headed by a morally corrupt leader. Humanity has been arguing about morality for centuries. From the moral rigidity of the early Catholic Church to the nihilistic philosophy of Nietzsche, we still cannot figure out what lies beyond good and evil. One thing is for sure, we cannot place any human being in a powerful position, such as the presidency, and presuppose that person's moral perfection. So the next time you decide to elect morality, see if God would like to run for political office.

We are indulging in our gluttony and feeling fine. Why forbid the commander in chief the luxuries that so many other Americans enjoy, namely lewd and lascivious behavior on a daily basis. Spare the moral diatribe. We do not elect moral codes. We elect human beings and all of the flaws that come with them. Is Clinton "under fire" because he had sex with an intern or because he may have asked her to lie about it? Clinton did not ask Monica Lewinsky to lie and even if he did, you'll never catch Slick Willy. Starr and his investigation are a joke and a waste of our tax dollars. Starr, as well as Clinton's foes, are desperately groping in a political power play that is sending them down the logical slippery slope because their definition of a sexual relationship does not quite match Clinton's, and head first into a legal quagmire for which the American public is paying. Clinton's poll ratings are overly magnanimous because people think he has done a decent job in the White House. Granted, the economy is a major secret to his success, but most Americans think Clinton is a competent leader. So the real issue is Clinton's amoral character and uncontrollable libido. We elected a president who cannot keep his pants zipped. Now so we think we can oust Clinton and rid our society of the moral decay he has greatly exacerbated. Can we really legislate morality? The founders carefully thought about this point, and I suspect this argument partially facilitated the notion of
Student Senate must play active role in community
Editorials
During the last few years, Student Senate has largely ignored the actions and workings of the Lawrence City Commission. That needs to change—and might if Student Senate follows the lead of the Student Body President.
Last week, Kevin Yoder renewed his request to the City Commission to give Senate an ex-officio seat on the commission. Two high school students now sit on the commission without a vote, and Yoder wanted the University to have a similar seat.
Yoder argued it would bring the campus and community closer together.
The measure was voted down 3-2. Although the effort was noble, the commission rightfully argued that if college students wanted a voice on the commission, then they could vote someone in. High school students are
However, a KU seat on the City Commission would be unfair.
— that the students of the University are simply part of the community, not above it.
On Sept. 9, Yoder will ask Senate to create a position to watch the commission. The position will be similar to, and work with, the Senate's Legislative Awareness Director, who lobbies the Kansas Legislature.
Now that Yoder's proposal has been shot down, the true test for Senate is to find a way to be
Senate needs to approve this position. For them, not to approve it would be detrimental to students.

The Senate, which is supposed to look out for and promote the views of the students, needs to be active in pushing the commission to be University friendly.
not empowered to do that.
The commission did the right thing. The Senate and the University do not deserve a special seat any more than any other group does. Having the seat would have said to the community that the students felt they deserved special recognition for being part of the community. That's opposite to the image the University has tried to live up to
For a few years, Senate has not sent a representative to meetings or lobbed the commission on a regular basis. This needs to be done and Senate has the chance to do it.
The assenting commissioners also argued that a seat would give Senate an unfair voice that other groups would not have.
If it doesn't, then it is not doing its job.
Lawrence's only dollar theater, Hillcrest, is closing next month. Jon Ratzlaff, general manager of the theater, said that Hollywood theaters did not renew the lease on the building because of expected high unkeep costs.
Regardless of the costs, Hollywood has taken over the movie industry in Lawrence and has a responsibility to patrons to provide them a discount theater along with its other theaters. Hollywood theaters include every theater in town except Liberty Hall, which is still independently owned and operated.

Ratzlaff said that Hollywood's decision to close Hillcrest was final. So the company should look for a new location for a dollar theater. The Plaza 6, the old Dickinson theater at 23rd and Iowa streets, would be a perfect

location for a dollar theater.
What it all comes down to is the $5 bucket of popcorn and the $4 soda. Since theaters make their money on concession sales, it wouldn't matter if they were operating a dollar
Although this sounds fine for the customer, what about Hollywood losing its $6 ticket price for a dollar movie? Hollywood theaters get only a small portion of those six dollars, actually. Ratzlaff said that many times studios would demand 90 percent and even 100 percent of the ticket sales on a movie's opening weekend and possibly for the first week or so.
Beyond that, if movie goers spend less money on the ticket price at a dollar theater, they may be more willing to buy an expensive snack. So it's a win-win situation, really. We get cheap movies and Hollywood can still vend its expensive treats.
theater or a full-priced theater because the concession prices are the same.
In addition, Ratlazlaff said that planning was in the works for additional theaters at Southwind 12. This means that the screens that would be lost at Plaza 6 could be taken care of at Southwind, with the additional screens.
If you want to encourage Hollywood to continue Lawrence's dollar-theater tradition, write to the theater's district manager at P.O. Box 3610, Lawrence, 66046.

City Commission approves grant to revitalize east side
By Chris Fickett Kansan staff writer
The Lawrence City Commission laid the groundwork for the revitalization of east Lawrence last night.
The commission unanimously decided to apply for a $30,000 state grant that would be used by the East Lawrence Improvement Association to establish a conservation district. A conservation district is an area designated to receive funds for renovation.
Carrie Lindsey, president of the association, said that the district, whose staff would seek projects for renovation, would provide a starting point for revitalization in the East Lawrence neighborhood.
The grant also would require the city to match funding at the lowest $5,000 and not exceeding $15,000.
"East Lawrence would like to take on a partnership with the city and take on these funds," Lindsey said.
Dennis Enslinger, historic resources administrator for the City of Lawrence, said the purpose of the Metro Community Capacity Building Grant was to encourage neighborhood revitalization planning and implementation in lighted urban areas.
The conservation district that the East Lawrence Improvement Association proposes fits the grant's description.
Early into the commission's discussion, Commissioner John Nalbandian expressed his concern with the amount of the grant.
I think its a great project," he said. "But $30,000 is like hiring half a staff person for a half a year."
Commissioner Bob Moody was worried about the stress the conservation district would put on the city planning staff.
"Our planning staff is very loaded," he said. "We're just putting another burden on the planning staff."
LAWRENCE CITY COMMISSION
City Manager Mike Wilden announced that Lawrence set a record Monday for the largest volume of water used in one day. Monday's volume of 22.4 million gallons surpassed the 1988 record of 21.6 million gallons.
The commission unanimously approved the purchase of 20 mobile and four portable 800 megahertz radios for the Lawrence

Police Department. These radios would be compatible with the systems that the University of Kansas Police Department and the Douglas County Sheriff's Department already use.
one said the grant would enable staff to learn how to designate areas for improvement and ask for funding. She also said it would provide the framework for conservation districts in other areas of the city, such as downtown.
"The staff would then know how

to do this," she said. "You could then create a conservation district anywhere in the city."
Enslinger agreed that the implementation of the grant in east Lawrence would open up the doors to conservation districts in other areas of Lawrence.
"My hope would be that it would provide the framework on how to develop a conservation district," he said.
Science department regroups teachers
By Carolyn Mollett
Kansan staff writer
The division of biological sciences aimed to improve its research and recruitment abilities when it reorganized departments for this semester.
"My hope is that it will strengthen the graduate program," said James Orr, division of biological sciences chairman.
"The merger helps accommodate students who have interest in the biological sciences on this campus."
Biological sciences had five departments during the 1997-98 school year, but department mergers have left the school with three departments this year.
"The nature of biology has become much more interdisciplinary." Orr said.

Orr said he hoped the new departments would help with recruitment of new faculty and graduate students.

encroll in a biology course because no new classes have been created, but department officials hope that the quality of classes will improve.
"The merger helps accommodate students who have interest in the biological sciences on this campus," said Tom Taylor, ecology and evolutionary biology chairman.
Professors who used to be in separate departments will have more contact with each other in the merged departments.
"We'll be in a better position to teach better courses because we'll be able to bring expertise from several faculty into a single
course," Taylor said.
The department of systematics and ecology merged with the department of botany to form the department of ecology and evolutionary biology.
Also, the department of biochemistry, cell and molecular biology merged with the department of microbiology to form the new molecular biosciences department.
"It was to put together all the biologists in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences whose research is on the molecular and cell level," said Richard Himes, the acting chairman of molecular biosciences for the 1998-99 school
year.
Molecular biosciences will be searching for 12 new faculty members during the next five years. They hope to find a permanent chairman and three other faculty members by next fall.
Ecology and evolutionary biology's faculty of 35 has begun a review of the department curriculum for classes formerly taught in the botany and systematics and ecology departments. Taylor said he hoped they could establish a time table of classes that would allow students to plan ahead for the coming semesters. They will also review course material to ensure that it is up to date.
Taylor said ecology and evolutionary biology would be searching for seven to eight new faculty members in the next five to six years — two of them during this school year.
Environmental program sees many changes
Modification includes hiring new professors establishing classes
By Liz Wristen
Kansan staff writer
The new school year has brought many changes for the environmental studies program.
"We have many goals for the upcoming school year," said Stan Loeb, acting director of the program. "These include hiring new faculty members, adding more courses and establishing an endowment that can be directed to the environmental studies program to be used for scholarships."
The program this fall hired Stacey Swearinger, an assistant professor in Urban Planning and an affiliate of the environmental studies program, to teach Urban Planning and Environmental Values.
Loeb said the program hoped to hire a new faculty member within the next year to serve as a public administrator. It also was planning to hire a replacement for John Clark, professor of environmental studies and history who retired last year.
Clark's absence caused the program to cancel three courses Loeb
had been teaching, Loeb said.
However, two new classes, an environmental economics course and an environmental decision making course, have been added this fall.
"We are not looking to grow the program, but we are looking to increase opportunities for students," Loeb said. "We are interested in improving the education of our students by improving the quality of our courses."
Another change in the program was the addition of an endowment fund for environmental studies students.
ships were available through the Nelson Fund. Two $500 scholarships also were offered for incoming freshmen majoring in environmental studies.
Deborah邦顿, secretary for the program, said two $1,500 scholar-
An alumni fund drive had been established to collect $5,000 per year for scholarships during the next three years.
The program also was developing scholarships through the Environmental Studies Student Association, Snuder said.
With about 250 students majoring in environmental studies, the program was the second largest natural science major at the University, Loeb said.

Endangered birds of prey no longer risk end of species
The Associated Press
STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga. — Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt released a hesitant peregrine falcon from the top of Stone Mountain today, a symbolic start of tf.e process of removing the bird from the endangered species list.
Babbitt came to the mountaintop to announce a plan to "delist" the falcon, the world's fastest bird.
U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Jamie Rappaport Clark made a similar announcement today at The Peregrine Fund's World Center for Birds of Prey south of Boise, Idaho, home of captive breeding programs for the peregrine and other raptor species.
"The Endangered Species Act is working. It's a part of our American spirit and heritage." Babbitt said as he released the small falcon from its cage. The bird hesitated before poking its head out and flying away.
When the falcons were given federal protection in 1970, pesticide poisoning had shrunk their population to 39 pairs in the lower 48 states. Now, there are almost 1,600 breeding pairs in North America.
A 90-day comment period on the proposed delisting will end Nov.23, and the final decision will come within a year. However, the falcon still would be protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which prohibits the killing, possession, transportation and importation of migratory birds, their eggs, parts and nests unless authorized by the Interior Department.
the inter or Degree. Once known as a "duck hawk" and shot indiscriminately as a nuisance predator across the West, scientists finally realized that pesticide contamination in the food chain was ravaging the peregrine. Along with the bald eagle, the brown pelican and California condor, the falcon was being poisoned by eating pesticide residue in the fatty tissue of the seed- and insect-eating birds that are its prey.
prey.
Peregrines nest in the tucks of cliffs, the ledges of tall buildings or on large bridges. They remain aloft for hours on end in search of prey, swooping in at up to 200 mph and colliding talons-first with small birds or bats before circling to snatch up the fallen meal.

Lawrence. Recently, Ojeleye expanded his Affordable Limousine Service to shuttle passengers and from Kansas City International Airport.
"Most of my corporate clients said there was not a good shuttle service in Lawrence," he said.
Ojeleye's company already provided shuttle service to KCI by way of limousine, but some passengers mentioned that there were airport travelers who could not afford a limousine, which costs $60 for a one-way trip.

"A lot of people want to get to the airport but don't want to pay for a limousine," he said.
sine, he said.
So, Ojelley started an airport shuttle service in addition to his limousine service. He purchased two 15-passenger vans and plans to add four more to his fleet. Shuttles to KCI by passenger van leave Lawrence about every two hours.
Customer satisfaction is his priority he said, and shuttle passengers are greeted by uniformed drivers and given the same courtesy as limousine passengers.
Terry Ward, owner of Superior Shuttle Service, started her airport shuttle company in March. Her attitude toward shuttle service in Lawrence was similar to Ojileye's customers' feelings.
"I was not happy with the service the other companies provided," she said.
Superior maintains four 15-passenger vans and one Nissan Sentra, which range in age from five to 10 years old. They average about 10 trips to and from the airport per day.
Superior maintains a "No Strand Policy," which guarantees passengers a ride no matter when their flights arrive.

Despite the addition of two airport shuttles in less than a year, A-1 Airport Shuttle does not feel threatened by the competition.
Shirley Bennett, owner and founder of A-1, said that when they were the only shuttle service in Lawrence, their employees and vehicles were under a lot more stress.
A-1 is the oldest such company in Lawrence, and it has shuttled passengers to and from KCI for 11 years.

Dance movie lacks the right moves
L
By Jeremy M. Doherty Kansan movie critic
Rafael (Chayanne) and Ruby (Vanessa Williams) loosen up on the dance floor in the Columbia Pictures movie Dance With Me. Contributed art.
Vanessa Williams is easy on the eyes and can belt out a tune like nobody's business.
But Lord help her, she couldn't act her way out of a paper sack.
Fortunately for her, Dance with Me is not exactly a movie that would make Meryl Streep say, "Rats, I should've grabbed that one."
Directed by Randa Haines, the movie contains practically no deep messages or hint of subtext and character development is nonexistent. Anyone who's ever seen more than a few movies in their life will be able to guess its ending within the first 10 minutes.
What Dance with Me has in its favor is a slew of intense, tightly choreographed dance numbers. In fact, if Haines were to cut the hoofing sequences, she'd probably have about 45 minutes of material left.
Latin singer Chayanne (no last name required) stars as Rafael, a 20-something Cadan lad who catches a bus to Houston after his mother kicks the bucket. In the land of 10-gallon hats, he gets a job mopping floors and repairing floorboards at the broken-down dance studio owned by John Burnett (Kris Kristofferson).
Rafael did not come across the job by accident. Burnett is actually his father, having donated his seed during a one-night stand on a cruise ship many moons ago. As a promise to his dying mama, Rafael decides he ought to strike up a relationship with the unsuspecting guy.
Rafael then falls for Ruby (Williams), Burnett's top instructor. Ruby is an emotionally-cold woman who shies away from relationships after her boyfriend dumped her and their infant son.
Ruby finally takes an interest in Rafael after he stuns her with some fancy salsa moves. As the world dancing championships in Las Vegas draw closer, their relationship goes into high gear.
Daryl Matthews' screenplay pushes the action forward at a deliberate pace, introducing sub-
plots and characters with a predictability that is almost reassuring. The audience meets some kinky, older dancers, a blonde instructor who takes a fancy to Rafael and the evil dance king who wants to claim Ruby as his own trophy. The actors and scenery are so gosh-darn attractive that the movie nearly gets away with all this.
Chayanne and Williams aren't required to do much more than dance well and look sexy, and

New drama on Lifetime to shine Any Day Now
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Combine these elements: race relations in the tumultuous 1960s and the tense 1990s, a Southern setting, a focus on girls and women instead of boys and men and faint-hearted TV networks.
What you get is the Lifetime series Any Day Now. Broadcasters repeatedly said no to the drama, but the cable channel said ves.
Yes to the idea of exploring the friendship of two girls, one black and one white, in segregated Birmingham, Ala., in the '60s. Yes to cutting between their childhood and adult years, weaving the past and the present in a sophisticated quilt.
And yes to a drama that has charm and heart — and that figures viewers are willing to think as well as feel.
Potts (Designing Women, Dangerous Minds) is Mary Elizabeth Brian, a white woman whose teen-age pregnancy and marriage have kept her bound to her hometown. She is a loving wife and mother who cannot ignore how narrow her world is.
Any Day Now, starring Annie Potts and Lorraine Toussaint, airs at 8 p.m. as part of Lifetime's new Tuesday series lineup that includes the comedies Oh Baby and Maggie.
Toussaint (Amazing Grace,
Law & Order) plays Rene Jackson, who fled Birmingham to work as a big-city corporate attorney, turning away from her father's tradition of civil rights activism. Success, however, has come at a price.
A death brings Rene back home, where she tries to create a new life amid bitter memories that include her estrangement from her childhood friend.
The big themes are there, but so are the little touches: We see the girls swoon about the idea of their brassieres, dispatch bullies and swipe cigarettes.
For Nancy Miller, the show's creator, Any Day Now was a matter of any year now.
It was in 1990 that she envisioned a drama she describes as "a Wonder Years meets Mississippi Burning." The former is the 1988-93 coming-of-age TV series; the latter the 1988 film about the volunteer '60s South.
CBS ordered six episodes, but the studio pulled the plug 10 days before shooting began. Too expensive, they said. Miller refused to surrender.
"Every development season I carried this script under my arm and begged them (the networks) to make it," she said.
They balked at the cost, the racial theme and this: "It was about girls. I think if it was about boys, it would have gotten made," Miller said.

Former Court justice dies
Powell left legacy of judicial balance
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Lewis F. Powell stepped into a job he did not much want and left a big footprint.
The retired Supreme Court justice, who died yesterday at age 90, crowned his legacy with a decision that upheld the concept of affirmative action while limiting its scope.
Powell also cast the deciding vote in a decision rejecting claims of a constitutional right to homosexual relationships.
"He approached each case without an ideological agenda, carefully applying the Constitution, the law and Supreme Court precedent regardless of his own personal views," President Clinton said. "His opinions were a model
of balance and judiciousness."
Powell died of pneumonia in his sleep at 3:30 a.m. at his home in Richmond, Va., the court said in a statement.
Chief Justice William Rehnquist called Powell, who retired in 1897, the embodiment of judicial temperament.
In 5-4 votes in which he was pivotal for the majority, Powell held:
During the Nixon administration, that presidents enjoy absolute immunity from being sued for monetary damages if their misconduct in office was within their official duties.
- That consenting adults have no constitutional right to private homosexual conduct. Powell said after his retirement that he probably made a mistake with his vote in that 1986 Georgia sodomy case.
That medical school applicant Allan Bakke suffered unlawful discrimination because he was white. "Preferring members of any one race group for no other reason
than race or ethnic origin is discrimination for its own sake," Powell wrote in the 1978 opinion. "This the Constitution forbids."
Nixon told him he had a duty to serve, and Powell relented.
A wealthy Virginian, Powell accepted his 1971 court nomination reluctantly, saying he was too old, at age 64.
Nixon wrote Powell a letter when the justice retired in 1987, recounting his comment during the nomination that 10 years of Lewis Powell on the court was worth 20 years of anyone else.
Powell was hospitalized in 1991 for a fainting spell and irregular heartbeat. He also had hip-replacement surgery that year. A year earlier, he had said his health was holding up better than he expected but added, "Let's face it, I've outlived my generation. Most of the friends I have held dear through my life are dead now."
His wife, Josephine, died in 1996.
They had four children.
Embassy bombing suspect indicted
The Associated Press
NEW YORK—A federal grand jury secretly indicted Osama bin Laden, the Saudi millionaire believed responsible for the deadly U.S. embassy bombings in Africa, several weeks before the attacks, according to a source familiar with the grand jury.
The sealed indictment, charging bin Laden with soliciting murder, came well before the Aug.7 bombings of U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
the source said.
The source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press on Monday that a grand jury in a Manhattan U.S. District Court indicted bin Laden several weeks ago. It was not clear what incident resulted in the indictment.
The grand jury was convened more than a year ago to examine terrorist activities with a focus on bin Laden,
The indictment came after evidence was presented that bin Laden had called publicly for acts of violence against U.S. citizens, including murder, the source said.
لہر اشباع سائر گروه پر
The grand jury was convened after 19
bin Laden: Was indicted before the two bombings
U. S. service personnel were killed when a bomb exploded in June 1996 at a military apartment complex in Saudi Arabia. There were suspicions that bin Laden was connected with the terrorist act.
The charge of solicitation to murder can be brought against someone who may not be directly involved in the
actual event, but who may have incited others to commit the violence or murder. The felony is punishable by life in prison.
Marvin Smilon, a representative for U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White, said he could not comment about reports that bin Laden had been indicted.
The attacks on the African embassies prompted the United States to retaliate Thursday by firing missiles at a training camp for militants linked to biden Laden in eastern Afghanistan and at a pharmaceutical plant in Khartoum, Sudan.
The U.S. State Department said that bin Laden was one of the most significant sponsors of Islamic extremist activities in today's world.
Bin Laden is believed to be hiding in Afghanistan, communicating his hatred for the United States in a series of fatwas, or religious edicts, faxed to the outside world, that encourage resistance to the United States.
Lebanese respond to Israeli attack
The Associated Press
KIRYAT SHEMONA, Israel — Lebanese guerrillas fired a barrage of Katyusha rockets into northern Israeli towns late yesterday, injuring at least a dozen civilians and sending residents dashing for shelters. Such past strikes have provoked massive Israeli retaliation.
The attack came only hours after an Israeli helicopter gun ship fired a rocket of its own, killing guerrilla commander Hossam al-Amin, who is reportedly second in command of the military faction of Shite Amal, as he was driving along the south Lebanese coastal road not far from the Israeli border.
A representative for Amal in Lebanon acknowledged the killing but declined to give al-Amin's rank.
Since 1985, when Israeli troops were first stationed in southern
Lebanon to protect northern Israeli towns from attack, guerrilla groups have been waging war to force them out. The two sides exchange fire almost every day, and both countries have suffered heavy casualties during the years.
But cross-border rocket attacks are unusual and run the risk of seriously escalating the lengthy conflict. After similar rocket assaults in 1996, Israel began a 17-day air offensive against guerrilla targets in which more than 100 Lebanese civilians were killed.
An Israeli army also confirmed that several rockets also landed in the western Galilee area yesterday, and Israel radio said electricity had been knocked out in dozens of kibbutzim in the area.
Raanan Aloni, a resident of Kiryat Shemona, said yesterday that a first round of rockets landed in the center
of town of 14,000 people about 9:45 p.m. local time. One rocket crashed into the house next door but no one was home, he said. "Other neighbors ran to shelters," Aloni told Israel radio.
A representative for the Kiryat Shemona area hospital told Israel radio that 12 people were being treated for light injuries, including shock.
Samir Sulidan, a resident of another northern community, told Army radio that rockets landed in his settlement as well. There was damage but no injuries, he said.
"People are in panic, in panic and fear. There are the wails of women and children," he said. He did not identify his village.
Israeli warplanes yesterday also attacked suspected guerrilla hideouts in south Lebanon, reportedly injuring six civilians including a child and one guerrilla.

A tax on illegal drugs?
It's true. Here's the legal breakdown:

90 cents per gram of dry marijuana

Each stamp is valid for three months.
I felt like a paranoid drug dealer.
Suspicious and nervous, I looked around furtively for surveillance cameras.
A crowded room of patrons awaiting tax consultation greeted me on the third floor of the Robert B. Docking State Office Building in the Kansas Department of Revenue in Topeka. I approached the woman behind the desk and the words "DRUUUUG TAAAAX STAAAAMP" flowed from my mouth in slow motion.
"Take a seat in booth No. 3," she said.
Take a seat in booth No. 3, she said.
I scanned the room again for cameras and sat down. I noticed the woman behind the desk had picked up the telephone, turned her back to the other people waiting and, with her hand covering her mouth, whispered into the receiver. "You know about the drug tax stamp? I have a lady in booth No. 3."
have a variety of drug dealers to affix tax stamps to all marijuana, domestic marijuana plants or controlled substances. The stamp is valid for three months, and any person may purchase the stamp without — the state promises — disclosing their identity.
Any individual who manufactures, produces, ships, transports or possesses more than 28 grams of marijuana, one gram of cocaine, or 10 or more dosage units of LSD, is classified as a drug dealer and is liable for the payment of drug taxes.
After 10 minutes waiting in both No. 3, Mavis Cockrelli, accounting specialist, introduced herself to me, shook my hand and pulled out a remittance voucher.
Her eyes were glued to the voucher. She filled in the date and put N/A in the boxes allotted for social security number, name and address. She then hastily and incorrectly printed "Marrijana Drug Stamp."
She glanced at me and asked, "How much did you want?"
Cockrell declined to give me any information about who had bought stamps in the past or how many people came in weekly to buy the
At that point, I had to let Cockrell in on my real purpose. I explained I was not only there to purchase a drug tax stamp but also to verify that the process was anonymous and to make sense of the philosophy behind taxing illegal substances.
Kansas Department of Revenue, said $400 worth of stamps were sold in 1997.
Cockrell assured me that there was no threat to anyone who purchased a drug tax stamp and explained that even if a law-enforcement officer questioned her about people who had bought the stamps, it would be against the law for her to provide them with information.
Dean Reynoldson, Alcoholic Beverage Control manager of enforcement, said the law allowed Kansas to tax a portion of the underground economy. He stressed that purchasing a drug tax stamp did not relieve drug dealers of legal liability. Having the drug tax stamp only prevents them from being charged with an additional crime, a felony for not paying proper taxes.
"If it's totally confidential," she said. "If someone told me their name, I would say, 'please don't tell me your name."
"The fact that a certain type of business, like drug dealing, is illegal, shouldn't exempt it from taxation," Reynoldson said.
Key Indices Tax rates for drugs include: $3.50 per gram of processed marijuana; 40 cents per gram of wet marijuana plants; 90 cents per gram of dry marijuana plants; $200 per gram of controlled substances sold by dosage or $2,000 per 50 units.
The Department of Revenue accepts payments of cash, certified check and money orders for the tax stamps. Stamps range in denominations from $10 to $5,000, but for drug dealers, there is a $100 minimum.
Jean Phillips, associate clinician of the University of Kansas School of Law, said there was something warped about taxing illegal conduct so that the government makes money.
"There's nothing that says you can't tax illegal conduct." Phillips said. "You can tax whatever you want, as long as you go through the proper procedure."
Phillips said the tax-stamp requirements appeared to be just another form of punishment for drug dealers.
However, Kansas law states it is not considered punishment, Phillips said.
"It's just another form of collecting revenue,just like taxing alcohol,"Phillips said.
6 10 KANSAS DRUG TAX STAMP
Expires
Jason Holsman, Overland Park senior, agreed. He thought few people actually knew about the law.
"As with most laws, citizens are unaware of its existence," Holsman said. "From a political standpoint, this tax stamp serves as a futile attempt to raise revenue from an illegal substance, while administering a certain level of fear for participation in the trade."
caught. Drug dealers caught without the stamp must pay tax on the amount of drugs found in their possession, plus a 100 percent penalty.
Damon Thomas, evidence officer for the Lawrence Police Department, said he had seen only one out of 1,000 cases in which a drug dealer had the drug tax stamp.
"I've only seen it on one package of marijuanas, and it was expired so it was of no value," he said. "Dealers are not buying it because they don't think they will be caught."
In 1997, $1.3 million was collected from drug dealers for not having the stamp, said Walker, Department of Revenue. To collect the fines, the department seized the dealer's possessions.
"We've confiscated everything from coins to jewelry to cars and equipment," Walker said. "We store the property and, once the appeals are done and final, we sell it at public auctions."
Or the money collected from Kansas dealers, 75 percent is returned to law enforcement agencies
across the state, Walker said. These funds help continue the fight against drugs through the purchase of drug dogs, undercover vehicles, body armor, guns and video cameras. The additional 25 percent goes back into the state's general fund.
Kansas statute 79-5204, approved in July 1987, requires drug dealers to attach tax stamps to all marijuana, domestic marijuana plants or controlled substances. The stamp is to be placed on drug containers.

Rowing team recruits boatloads of competitors
Kansan sportswriter
Forty-three women make up the University of Kansas rowing team, and on Monday, coach Rob Catloth been trvouts to find more.
By Sam Mellinger Kansas sportswriter
"You can't make a football team out of 25 guys, and it's sort of the same thing with our sport," Catloth said.
The team is looking for KU women with experience in competitive athletics. Many women already have been contacted, but Catloth will accept late entrants who want

the women and determine who made the team based on performance on the machine and in the water. Another evaluation point would be a woman's ability to understand the sport.
Women trying out for the team will work on a rowing machine before getting in the water. The workouts are grueling, and Catloth said some women probably would quit.
Petty said one of the pluses of rowing for Kansas was working with Catloth.
"He's real laid back," she said. "He can see when we're getting burned out, and he'll joke around with us."
Many of the rowers are on scholarship, but walk-onss are needed for a successful team. Walk-ons sometimes receive a scholarship, espe-

"We're always looking for women who can help us out." he said.
Petty said that rowing was difficult,but that shouldn't deter women from trying.
"A lot of it has to do with the language," Petty said. "When you talk to a rower, it's like speaking a foreign language. There's so much you have to be thinking about when you're rowing. There's a lot to learn."

In his fourth year at KU, this fall marks the first time the team will feature five scholarship freshmen — Tara Alsap, St. Louis; Andrea Buch, Olime, Conn.; Lea Kuchinsky and Michelle Santangelo, Atlantic City, N.J. and Karen Nies, Brookline, Mass.
"Hopefully, all this will help jump start our program." Catloth said.

Setter: A volleyball quarterback
Fast feet help head teams

Often these positions control the tempo of the game. These are the players on the field or the court that control offense and create plays.
There are positions in every sport that demand poise under pressure and the ability to make snap decisions.
"The quarterback has his hands on the ball in every play in a football game," said Kansas volleyball coach Ray Beachard. "The point guard has influence over most of the possessions in a basketball game. In volleyball, the setter will touch a third of the balls on our side of the net. Those are positions that require confidence, and you need to find someone who is comfortable with that."
It is the responsibility of the setter to initiate the offense. She calls the plays. As a play unfolds, the setter decides which hitter to set, depending on the accuracy of the pass and where she predicts the blockers are anticipating the attack. The location of the set is critical, especially with quick sets when the hitter has less time to adjust.
Bechard said the most important skills in a setter are found in the feet, the hands and the head.
The quickness and agility of a setter will enable the player to get under the pass and to reach stray balls. The way the ball contacts the setter's hands and how it is released is important for accuracy.
Knowing the attitude and the habits of a setter gives clues to her approach, Bechard said.
"One mistake that some coaches make is they look at the hands first," Bechard said. "I look at feet first, how quickly she can get to the ball. It is easier to impact the hands in practice; it is easier to train than quickness."
Beachard said setting is a physical position, requiring great physical presence and size.
"There has been a push that started from the top that setters should be able to play other positions," Bechard said. "It gives us some flexibility if the setter is tall enough to compete aggressively at the net, block some balls and hit the ball hard."
Bechard said Kansas setter Laura Rohde was that kind of versatile player.
Rohde, a senior from Galesburg, Mich., actually was recruited as an outside hitter. She converted to settler late in her freshman season and now ranks second all-time at Kansas with 2,361 career assists and also ranks 10th all-time with 140 career blocks.
She said her experience as a hitter gave her an advantage because she was familiar with the attitude and focus of a hitter.
Bechard said a setter had a unique mindset and attitude than the other players on the court. Leadership skills are as important as a strong physical presence, he said.
"It is a position of encouragement," Beachard said. "It's not a position where the athlete can go on a roller coaster of emotions. Both Rhode and our freshman setter, Molly LaMere, have that kind of mentality."

If the setter gets frustrated, it can reflect on the whole team, Rohde said.
"It takes patience, and you have to be a leader because everyone is looking to you," Rohde said.

But Hill's back and is in the No. 1 spot at split end.
The Jayhawks are looking to do something this season that they shied away from last year — throwing the ball.
Despite his high status, however, he is still looking to the older guys for guidance.
"I wouldn't consider myself a leader on the squad," Hill said. "I think the leaders of the receivers are the older guys: Mike Chandler, Eric Patterson. I definitely think it's up to me to go out every day and work hard, work my butt off, and play as hard as I can."

Track renovations disgraceful reason to postpone Relays
In 1943, the nation was at war and student athletes from the University of Kansas and elsewhere were being called upon to fight for the United States.
The war had such a profound impact on the Kansas track program that for the first time since its 1923 induction, the Kansas Relays were postponed. The Relays restarted in 1946 after America had claimed victory.
And now the postponement has been extended. The track is unusable, and until a new one, or a proposed new track facility, can be constructed, the Relays will not be held.
Athletics Director Bob Frederick and track coach Gary Schwartz say the Relays will resume when a new track is built. But it won't matter. It won't be the same. In the 1940s, people understood there was a war and could accept the cancellation. Today, renovations are not a good enough reason.

Two years ago, mega dollars were thrown at more than a dozen Olympians to lure them to participate in the Relays. It was supposed to signify the resurgence of the event. Participation was up, attendance grew and some of the excitement returned.

be built in the near future.
What they don't flaunt is that there are no immediate plans to repair the Memorial Stadium track, and the department has no idea when, or if, a facility will be constructed.
In a few years, when a new field is placed in Memorial Stadium, expect the track to be removed. But don't buy into the idea that a new facility is looming on the immediate horizon.
There is no chosen location, no money earmarked, no real plans designed and no idea when it will be built.
The track team and the Relays are homeless and their future in limbo. One has to wonder how it got to this point.
The department wants to share a facility with the city of Lawrence. Or the department may build it themselves.
There was a time in Kansas track history when the University was one of the best.
It attracted Olympians and All Americans to its events on a regular basis. The team produced world record holders, Olympians and national champions.
But things have been bleak for nearly two decades. Somewhere along the line, the talent and attraction of the program dried up. There are high-quality athletes now, but none of whom you expect to be consistent superstars. In the program's heyday, there were a handful on a regular basis. Things were different.
Had former coach Bill Easton, who coached Billy Mills, or coach Bob Timmons, who led the team to three National Indoor titles, been told the Relays were being postponed for renovations, they probably would not have taken it lightly.
They might even have demanded the track be repaired and the Relays continue. Publicly, Schwartz has been quiet. He must have his reasons.
But it's a disgrace things have gotten so bad.
The Relays could be held. A smaller version could go on. Facilities at Baker University, local high schools or some places in Kansas City could house the Relays in some form until a new track was built.
If Roy Williams was told his basketball team couldn't play in Allen Field House for a season because of renovations, he would find an alternative place to go. He would keep the Kansas basketball tradition going.
That used to be the kind of tradition the Kansas track team had.

Taurus (April 20-May 20); Today is a 5.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) today is 11:45 AM.
You are being pushed to get together with friends. It is as if there is something you are trying to do alone, and you are trying to do it the hard way. Getting other people involved will make things easier, and it looks like they need your expertise. They are trying to get the job done, too.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Today is a 6.
An early dinner date probably will work best because you and your sweetheart will be in congenial moods and because that is when you will have the most time to enjoy yourselves. You might remember something later that needs to be done by tomorrow.
Cancer June 22-July 22): Today is a 6.
Garner care for 22 hours a day.
The moon's going into Scorpio, bringing out your cuddy, romantic side and making you attractive to a person you find attractive. Schedule a date with a person you find fascinating. If the other night can't make it on such short notice tomorrow night's good, but Friday night is even better.
Leo (Julv 23-Aug. 22): Today is a 5.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Today is a 3.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Today is a 6.
A friend could pass along a good idea today, so let people know what you are trying to accomplish. Do not expect smooth sailing, however. A roommate or close family member disagrees with what you have in mind.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Today is a 5.

Aaquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today is a 6.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a 5.
Be careful what you say today. The moon has gone into Scorpio, the sign of secrets. Sagittarius is the sign of truth. You are in a precarious position; do not tell secrets. The person you tell could be the one who is trying to keep it private.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Today is a 6.
The sun is in Virgo, and the moon is in Iubra. Looks like there is a formidable adversary to deal with. This person wants to tell you what to do, and you may have to comply. Consider the consequences of your actions if you resist; you might decide it is not worth the trouble.
You will notice that things get easier as the day goes on. You will have several confrontations during the day, but if you hold your temper, everything should work out. Schedule dinner or a meeting with friends after work.

"Now if it happens again, I can get on top of it right away," he said. "It's one of the most treatable forms of cancer. It's likely it won't come back, but who knows?"
"I had no concept of cancer because I didn't have any family or friends who ever had it," said Martin, who lives in Fishers with his wife, Roberta, and son, Joshua.
"The mass was the size of a softball, so you can imagine how my body was feeling. I couldn't breathe, and I couldn't get up and down the court," said the 6-foot-6 Martin, whose weight dropped from 210 pounds to 170.
"Why they waited three weeks, I don't know," said Collins, looking for work a year after replacing the retired Jim Kelly as Buffalo's starting quarterback. "I was just wasting time learning this offense."
Buffalo Bills remove quarterback Collins
Todd Collins knew he was on his way out when Buffalo acquired Rob Johnson and Dou Flutie. The Bills finally got around to making it official.
Collins, the former Michigan star drafted 45th overall in 1995, was 215-for-391 last season for 2,367 yards with 12 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. The Bills finished 6-10.
"I think last year Todd got too much of the blame for the losses that we had, and I'd just like to leave it at that," coach Wade Phillips said Monday.
With Collins gone and Jim Ballard on injured reserve, last year's backup, Alex Van Pett, said he's ready to play after undergoing shoulder surgery.
"It was a tumultuous off season," Van Pelt said. "I was doing a lot of stuff in the rehab and surgery. I wasn't sure if I'd be ready to go or not, so it's been a weight lifted off my shoulders."

Chiefs coach continues to consider Phillips
Coach Marty Schottenheimer said he had met personally with Lawrence Phillips but declined to say how close Kansas City might be to signing the troubled running back.
I've spoken with Lawrence," Schottenheimer said. "We'll make some decision in that regard pretty shortly."
A decision about Phillips, who has a history of off-field problems and has been released by St. Louis and Miami in less than a year, might come after the Chiefs see what running backs are available following this week's roster cuts.

Gradual improvement hard work deemed key

"He's a very good possession receiver, very smart," Wyatt said. "We feel like Mike can get open and make plays."
The veteran of the squad is junior Michael Chandler, who led the team in receptions last season with 21 catches for 311 yards. Chandler has played in every game the past two seasons and has the most experience of any receiver on the team.
Added to the force is true freshman Byron Gasaway.
"He's a talented young man — size, speed, everything you look for in a wide receiver," Wyatt said. "We really expect him to make some plays for us this year."
The receivers haven't set goals for themselves this season. They just want to improve and to be as good as possible.
"I don't think there's any exact point we're shooting for. I just think we're working as hard as we can, trying to get better every day," Hill said. "If we do that, I don't know that there's a limit to how good we can be."
Dan Dercher, offensive tackle, and Jay Alexander, quarterback, were expected to meet with Ken Wertzberger, team physician, today to have their knee injuries evaluated.

KU softball begins tryouts to choose new walk-ons

Kansan sportswriter
In a room that seemed more fit for a meeting of Fortune 500 CEOs, 14 women sat around a long table Thursday night.
They had traveled from several states to attend the University and were in the media room of the Wagnon Student Athlete Center, thinking about joining the Kansas softball team as walk-ons.
The women joked about their first few days of college as they waited for coach Tracy Bunge. Two women reminisced about high school seasons in Chicago.
Finally, Bunge entered the room with her assistant coaches, Marla Looper and Carla Marchetti, and the chatter died down.
And that is no understatement. Seven teams from the Big 12 finished last season ranked among the top 25 teams in the nation.
"This is a huge transition year for us." Bunge said.
For any of the 14 women in the room who made the team, school and softball would become their life during the academic year.
Six starters, a pitcher and a walkon are gone from last season's team. Bunge lost Michelle Hubler and Kristina Johnson, who had started at their respective positions for four years.
Bunge said she expected all of her players to set classes, softball, family and friends — in that order — as their priorities.
Three to five of the women might earn a spot on the team. While she has never kept more than 18, the maximum on the traveling squad, she said she might take more than the three players needed.
"The Big 12 Conference is the toughest softball conference in the nation." Bunge said.
Two years ago, the Jayhawks were selected for the NCAA regional tournament. Last year, they struggled to make the Big 12 tournament.
"Hopefully by the end of the week we'll have a better idea of whether or not you can help the team," she said.
On Monday, Burge led the walkons onto Jayhawk Field.
Three women already were gone

"I came to KU because I loved the campus," Giacobbe said. "I wasn't planning on trying out, but I saw a sign and figured why not."

shown up here than I'm used to." Bunge said. "There's not a single slow kid here, which is nice to see."
After fielding drills and practice for the catchers, the afternoon turned to evening and the players went home.
After a quick deliberation, Bunge selected seven — half the original group — to return.
After cuts yesterday, four players remain. They will have to play with the rest of the team this week, and Bunge will make a final decision Friday.

Wisconsin tailback gets fit to gain speed
The Associated Press
MADISON, Wis. — By shedding 12 pounds, Ron Dayne is lighter than he has been since he was an eighth-grader in Berlin, N.J.
But the real burden that has been lifted from Wisconsin's 250-pound junior tailback is the Heisman hype that bothered him last year.
"He's been through it, and that helps." Badgers coach Barry Alvarez said. "He's more relaxed with a microphone in his face and a bunch of people around him. He's accustomed to that, and he's also learned to handle it much better."
Painfully shy during his first two seasons, Dayne decided he was going to relish his final year in Madison — barring an injury-filled season like last year, the 20-year-old runner will turn pro in April.
"I feel a lot more confident. I didn't like sitting around talking to the media, but it's all right. It grew on me." Dayne said. "I got used to on you. You've got to make it fun."
Gone, too, are the billboards in which he posed with Great Dane dogs in the school's biggest Heisman campaign ever, one that was scuttled by neck and ankle injuries.
"We haven't put the big hype on him this year because it's not necessary," Alvarez said. "People know who he is, and his productivity will determine how well he'll do with all the awards at the end of the year.
"That's just how he likes it. He just likes to go out and play."
The Big Ten's preseason offensive player of the year rushed for 2,109 yards as a freshman — despite not starting until the fifth game — and 1,457 more as a sophomore, when he missed 12 quarters with injury.
Being sidelined helped Dayne mature, both as a person and an athlete.
"I wasn't used to being hurt," Dayne said. "While I sat out, I learned to be a leader. I couldn't help the guys on the field. When I was on the sidelines, I always was encouraging the guys, even when it was fourth-and-1 and we didn't get
it, I was saying, "Come on, we can get it next time."
Dayne, who needs just 144 yards to become the school's career rushing leader, scoffs at the notion that the Badgers have become too predictable in handing him the ball so often.
"Wisconsin is a running team," he said. "It's not like all of a sudden we're going to start imitating BYU or Florida State. We're a big team that's going to run the ball and try to run you down."
Last year, Dayne could not run through tackles because he sustained a neck stinger during camp, which led to a miserable debut against Syracuse.
"IIf can make you miss, I'll try," Dayne said. "But if I can't make you miss, I'll run you over. Last year, I had just one option: make you miss."
And when that did not work,
Dayne was toast.
"Because I was hurting, I was trying to ease through the hole instead of pounding it in up there," he said.
Alvarez and his staff decided Dayne needed to trim down, and they had him run a steep hill behind strength coach John Dettmann's house last summer.
Just when his shoulder injury began to heal, Dayne sprained an ankle against Iowa, and the Badgers lost all three of their games after that, following a promising 8-2 start.
"The lightest he played for us was right around 255, and that was in the Copper Bowl (Dec. 27, 1996)," Alvarez said. "And we thought he was much quicker."
Dayne, who last year joined Herschel Walker as the fastest players to reach 3,000 career rushing yards
— in just their 20th games — also feels better with a more experienced offensive line, which featured three first-year players starting at the interior spots in 1997.
I feel good about my guys up front," Dayne said. "I felt good about them last year, and I feel better about them this year. I mean, those are my guys. I love watching them play, and I love running behind them more."
Hunt withdraws Royals bid
Out-of-state lawyer remaining bidder for baseball team
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt announced Tuesday he was withdrawing from the bidding for the Kansas City Royals, apparently clearing the way for New York lawyer Miles Prentice to buy the team
The group led by Hunt bid $25 million for the Royals — who have become perennial money losers — with another $27 million to be paid after improvements are made to Kauffman Stadium.
Hunt had bid on the Royals with Western Resources Inc., the utility based in Topeka, but the bid fell short of the $75 million set by the baseball team's board of directors.
Royals president Mike Herman last week said Prentice had made the superior bid.
Prentice's bid is thought to be close to the minimum set by the board, which is trying to juggle the twin priorities of ensuring the team remains in Kansas City under its new owners while getting as much as possible from the sale.
night after an exhibition game between his Chiefs and Jacksonville that he was still interested in the Royals.
Hunt had said as late as Saturday
But on Tuesday, Hunt said the Royals had clearly indicated they now are going in a different direction, and that his group respected that decision.
"We made an offer that we believe made financial sense, and we are appreciative that it was considered and certainly understand that the Royals board has its own set of objectives and time considerations to meet." Hunt said.
In throwing its support behind Prentice, the Royals told him that he needed an ownership group that included 50 percent local investors.
That requirement apparently surprised Prentice, but he has been in the city since Thursday trying to lineup local investors.
On board so far are two of Kansas City's most prominent families — banker R, Crosby Kemper and the adopted daughter and daughter-in-law of the Royals' late founder, Ewing Kauffman.
Under the unique succession plan devised by Kauffman, all money from the sale will go to area charities.
Hunt was a fan favorite to become the new Royals owner. Former Royals star George Brett, now a vice president with the team, was also a local favorit but acknowledged recently that the bid from the group he headed was not seriously considered.
The board's emphasis on local ownership was based on the wishes of Kauffman, who absorbed large losses from the franchise before he
died and insisted the team remain in Kansas City almost at any cost.
RKC
Royals
That was never a serious question for Hunt, whose Chiefs have grown into the
city's top sports draw — replacing the Royals - and regularly sell out Arrowhead Stadium.
Hunt makes his home in Dallas. He has local business interests, including a large and popular amusement park, and coupling his bid with the Topeka utility only strengthened the feeling of local ties.
But the low bid disturbed the Royals board.
John Hayes, chairman of Western Resources, has said that the utility was interested in owning the Royals because of the importance of having a major league team in Kansas City.
"Our community interest in keeping the Royals continues today, and
we wish the future owners of the Royals the best of luck." Haves said.
Kauffman founded the Royals in 1969 as an expansion franchise after Charles O. Finley moved the Athletics to Oakland.
The team was successful almost immediately, and the success continued into the '80s — the Royals won the pennant in 1980 and the World Series in 1985 by defeating the St. Louis Cardinals in seven games.
But the franchise has been a money loser in recent years and has finished last in the AL Central the past two seasons.
The Royals are committed by lease to stay in Kansas City through 2015, but no owner would be required to remain if the team is not adequately supported.
Kauffman, one of the city's most generous philanthropists, set aside more than $50 million to shore up losses until a local buyer was found.
Prentice, a lawyer with the New York firm of Eaton and Van Winkle, wears a cap with the logo of his Midland Angels Class AA team of Texas when he is in Kansas City.
He also owns the Odessa Jackalopes also of Texas, a minor league hockey team, and made an unsuccessful bid earlier this year with another group for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Prentice's wealth comes from investments, mostly in real estate.
Heisman seized from Rodgers
Former Cornhusker loses trophy to law
The Associated Press
OMAHA, Neb. — Johnny Rodgers may be sorry he ever dreamed up the Husker-Heisman Alumni Weekend.
The reunion ended bad for the 1972 Heisman winner, as sheriff's deputies seized his trophy Sunday night when disputing a food-vendor debt.
“This is bogus,” said Rodgers, who paid $6,000 Monday to retrieve the 55-pound trophy.
An attorney for Karnett-Venger Distributors presented the Douglas County Sheriff's office with a judgment against Rodgers and asked that the trophy be confiscated until he paid his debt, said Sheriff Tim Dunning.
"They saw their opportunity," Dunning said. "It's hard for him to do the event without the trophy."
The trophy was seized just after a roast of former Huskers coach Tom Osborne. Deputies waited until after the roast to take the trophy because it was a charity event, Dunning said.
"We didn't want to cause a disruption," he said.
Rodgers said he did not believe he
owed money to the food vendor.
"About 10 years ago, I helped some guys get concession stands at the University of Nebraska because I wanted to get minorities into the stadium," he said. "I signed for them to get some products into the stadium — $3,000 worth of products. I guess some way or another it slipped through the cracks, and they didn't pay."
Rodgers recently completed his degree at Nebraska and has been working with the Nebraska Alumni Association to get other former Husker athletes to do the same. He runs an events marketing company and also manufactures collegiate
clothing and bedding in association with J.C. Penney.
This weekend, he lured Florida State coach Bobby Bowden to Omaha, where he put together the Husker-Heisman Alumni Weekend. Heisman Trophy winners John David Crow, Joe Bellino, John Lattner, Mike Rozier, Tony Dorsett, George Rogers, Billy Sims and Archie Griffin; and former Nebraska stars Jerry Tagge and Junior Miller attended the event.
The roast raised money for the Tom Osborne Endowment for Youth, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Alumni Association and the Johnny Rodgers Foundation.

Midfield key to soccer success
Central players on women's team fill leadership roles
By Brad Hallor
Kansan sportswriter
They don't always score the most goals for the team, but in soccer, the outside midfielders and the central midfielder are the ones that dictate how a game goes.

"Soccer is a game where the game is won or lost in the midfield," said coach Dan Magner, who is relying heavily on the three midfielders this year.
"The outside midfield-
The outside midfielders have the most running to do in soccer because they must cover their side of the field endline to endline.
The outside managers will have an immense task," said Magner. "They will be asked to attack and defend in equal quantity, more so than other players. They need to understand their roles, and I think they do."
Lents said she apprecii-

ated the team support at the end of the game.
"I rely on my teammates to pick me up in the 90th minute." Lents said.
Ashley Gorham, Omaha, Neb., sophomore understands playing midfield.
"Communication, checking to the ball, opening space and playing the ball to the forwards is what I look to do," she said.
Among the candidates to play the three midfielder positions are Gorham, Katie Lenses, Overland Park, sophomore, and Jenny Wallace, Overland Park, sophomore.
Dictating the tempo of a game, these three know they must be leaders on the field.
"You have to keep the team up, and you can't let them fall apart." Wallace said.
Magner is looking to the outside midfielders to distribute the ball with the central midfielders when they have possession of the ball.
"They will be involved in the building of the play," said Magner. "In the attack, we will look for them to serve in crosses and get on the end of crosses, so in order to get on the end of crosses to the far post, I will be looking for them to make late runs."
According to Lents, Wallace and Gorham, when the midfield gets the ball, communication lets them know what to do with the ball.
"Usually, it's just safe to play the way you're facing." Lents said.
The central midfielder is the key for the offense and defense, Magner said.

By playing five midfielders, it may seem the midfield will be packed. However, there are many pros to increasing the number of midfielders. Wallace said.
"Playing five in the midfield will help support the defense and the offense." Wallace said.
the defense and the offense.
Lents summed up what the all-around roles of the central midfielder and outside midfielders were.
"We get to prevent goals and support and score goals, but the bad thing is we have to cover the whole field," Lents said.

De Costa returns to KU basketball
Kansan sportswriter
For University of Kansas women's basketball assistant Pam De Costa, there was only one thing in the world that could convince her to take another assistant position.
"Working with coach (Marian) Washington again," she said.
By Sam Mollinger
De Costa was an assistant at the University from 1993-96, and after a two-season stint at the University of Oklahoma, she has rejoined Washington as recruiting coordinator.
SHEVENA SMITH
The recruiting job opened when Tim Eat-
De Costa: Returns as assistant women's basketball coach
man took the head coaching job at the University of Illinois-Chicago.
"We are very happy to welcome Pam back to our staff." Washington said. "She is an exceptional communicator and is able to relate well to the student athletes."
De Costa did not leave by choice. She was the University's restricted earnings coach from 1993-95 and filled former assistant Rene
Brown's job in 1965-96 when Brown took a year off to help coach the U.S. National Team.
Brown returned and got her job back. A now-defunct NCAA rule prevented De Costa from reassuming the job as restricted earnings coach.
"Once you moved up (to full-time assistant), you couldn't move back down," she said.
So De Costa had to leave, and she did not think she would be back.
"When I left to go to Oklahoma, in my mind I was going to stay there and help coach (Sherri) Coale build that program," she said.
The Sooners went 5-22 and 8-19, respectively, in De Costa's two years there.
She started at the University in June, and already the Jayhawks have secured visits to the homes of several of the top players in the country.
"It was something I needed to do to become a better coach," she said. "Here, I was spoiled. I walked into a top 25 program."
"It's one thing to get a visit with them, but you've got to get them to come visit you," De Costa said. "But coach Washington is such an
De Costa's post as recruiting coordinator is similar to her duties at Oklahoma.
"I love it," she said. "I like talking to kids and meeting people."
"It'll be a lot of fun. When we do get back to the Sweet 16 again, we should be prepared to make the next step to the Elite 8. We've got everybody back, and there's no reason to not think that way."
easy sell, once you meet her, I don't see why a kid wouldn't want to play for her."
Honesty is one of Washington's best attributes, De Costa said.
When not busy with recruiting, De Costa will be working with the post players. The Jayhawks have two incoming freshmen centers, 6-6 Kristin Geoffroy and 6-5 Dalchon Brown, to go along with junior forward/center Heather Fletcher and senior forward/center Nakia Sanford.
Sanford and De Costa worked together during Sanford's freshman year.
"She's going to tell you like it is, and she's going to be fair," De Costa said. "Once you're part of her family, she's going to take care of you. There's not too many people like that anymore."
"Nakia has all the ability in the world," De Costa said. "When she was a freshman, you could see it. I looked at her and said, 'Dang, she's

going to be good.' If she wants to put it all on the line, she's going to be a great post player."

Marshall said Link was a vengeful ex-girlfriend, one of several women Peeler was dating at the same time. The lawyer said Peeler pleaded guilty in the criminal case because officials from some NBA teams said that if the case remained unresolved, he would not be selected in the June 1992 draft.

While at Oklahoma, De Costa was familiar with what KU was doing. The Jayhawks beat the Sooners twice during De Costa's time on the bench, and she's excited about what the team can accomplish this year with an experienced roster back from last year's Sweet 16 team.
She is seeking unspecified damages
Link's lawyer, Mary Coffey, told the eight-person jury that early in the morning May 30, 1992, Peeler appeared at Link's apartment in Columbia, Mo., entered her bedroom, locked the door and attacked her. After biting and choking Link, he held a gun to her head, Coffey said.
in 1966 and to the Timberwolves in February.
Link filed the suit in 1994 in St. Louis Circuit Court, but the day before trial, Marshall talked about the case on a radio talk show. Because a jury was not yet picked, Link had the case dismissed.
Coffey said Link has suffered post traumatic stress disorder and other ailments since the incident six years ago, when she was a Missouri student. Her suit against Peeler is "the only legal way Angie has of fighting back." Coffey said.
"It'll be a lot of fun," she said. "When we do get back to the Sweet 16 again, we should be prepared to make the next step to the Elite 8. We've got everybody back, and there's no reason to not think that way."

The next day, Coffey said, Columbia police stopped Peeler and found a gun in his car. Peeler pleaded guilty in June 1992 to carrying a concealed weapon, a felony, and of false imprisonment and third-degree assault, which were misdemeanors. A judge put Peeler on five years' probation.

Wichita mourns loss of young football player
The Associated Press
WICHITA, Kan. — A week after he collapsed at his first football practice, relatives and friends packed Greater Saint Mary's Missionary Baptist Church for a tearful memorial service for Robert Alexander Barrett.
Barrett, 17, was one of Wichita area high school football players who died a week ago today, a day after they collapsed in the heat.
Barrett's teammate, Larry Randall, fought tears as he tried to talk of his friend at Monday's service.
"The first impression you always got of him was that he was a nice, polite guy." Randall said. "And after you got to know him, he was still a nice, polite guy. He wasn't putting on a front."
Barrett had been a member of the band at Wichita Southeast High School but wanted to give football a try for his senior year, and Randall was one of those from whom he sought advice about joining the team.
Pastor Willis Thomas urged Alex's family not to wonder whether they could have prevented Alex's death, which was attributed to heat stroke.
"You cannot believe you could have kept him off the football field last Monday," he said. "And you can't say if he hadn't played football he'd still be here."
That's not true. It's not in our hands. You can't get angry because God wants the very best, and Alex was the very best."
Willis remembered Alex as a talented saxophone player, a dedicated church member since childhood and a young businessman who completed an entrepreneur course and opened his own vending-machine service.
Alex had a warm personality, Willis said, and everyone wanted to be around him.
"Seventeen years is short for us, but 90 is long if you don't do nothing." Willis said. "Here's a young man who crowded more into 17 years than most of us put in a lifetime."
Throughout the service, quiet crying was heard from the crowd of family, friends, students, teachers and school administrators.
A young soloist from the church youth choir, to which Alex belonged, sang only three words of the hymn Thank You, Lord before beginning to cry. She took her seat, unable to continue.
Letters of condolence were read at the service from other area churches, the Wichita school system and from the Circle school district in nearby Towanda.
Circle High sophomore Matthew Whittridge also died Aug. 18 after collapsing from heat exhaustion at football practice Aug. 17. His funeral was Saturday.
Notre Dame team members' eligibility intact
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Now all Notre Dame coach Bob Davie has to worry about is Michigan.
The Associated Press
Players cleared of bribery
"Certainly I'm happy that there's definite word now our football team will be intact for the Michigan game (Sept. 5), but it hasn't impacted us a whole lot because we've prepared every day like they would be here," Davie said, downplaying the first good news the university has received in a series of off-field problems during the last two months.
Notre Dame officials said Monday that the NCAA has cleared five Fighting Irish players under investigation for accepting gifts from a booster, ending any fears that they might be ineligible for the 1998 season.
"When I told them (the players) to be honest, there wasn't much of a reaction," he said. "But I'm sure the players involved are relieved that
The five players, who the university has refused to identify, could have been suspended by the NCAA for taking a trip to a Chicago Bulls game with Kimberly Dunbar, who embezzled more than $1 million from her employer and allegedly spent some of the money on gifts for players.
that's behind them."
The school still faces possible sanctions for the trip as well as another incident involving two former players and Dunbar, which was uncovered during an internal investigation by the school. Notre Dame forwarded its findings to the
NCAA after beginning the inquiry in February.
N
Since then, the NCAA has ruled that
Dunbar was acting as a school representative while a member of the now-disbanded Quarterback Club, something the school contests. But athletic director Michael Wadsworth declined to comment about the school's position regarding possible sanctions.
"The position that we have on this is spelled out in our report to the NCAA, and that's where it's going to remain,"
"When I told them (the players) to be honest, there wasn't much of a reaction. But I'm sure the players involved are relieved that that's behind them."
Wadsworth said.
Bob Davie Notre Dame head football coach
Bob Davie
He also downplayed the significance of Dunbar's actions by saying they were the undertakings of just one person.
During its internal investigation, Notre Dame found that Dunbar, who has a child with former Irish player Jarvis Edison, gave 12 players jewelry, clothing and trips, including the outing to the Bulls game. She pleaded guilty to embezzling more than $1 million from her former employer and faces up to 16 years in prison and a $20,000 fine when she is sentenced next month.
"We're not in a situation where the program has fallen apart," Wadsworth said.
Her lawyer has promised that Dunbari may reveal details of her exploits with Notre Dame players that could influence the NCAA's decision in its investigation, but Wadsworth said that lawyers sometimes
made statements that furthered their private interests.
In another matter, Notre Dame lawyers have until Sept. 11 to respond to a motion filed by attorneys for Joe Moore requesting his reinstatement as an assistant coach. Moore, who was dismissed in December 1996 in one of Davie's first coaching moves, was awarded about $86,000 in damages in an age discrimination suit he filed against the university. A federal jury also awarded him attorney's fees.
Moore's attorney, Richard Lieberman, said Monday he filed the reinstatement motion Aug. 14, along with a request for attorney's fees of slightly more than $600,000. Lieberman also filed a request for front pay of close to $375,000 if the reinstatement motion is denied.
Lieberman said a ruling was not expected until October.

Ohio Buckeyes train to beat rival Michigan
The Associated Press
They're ranked No. 1 in the preseason poll, have a tested quarterback and a veteran defense returning nine starters. But for the Ohio State Buckeyes to win a national title, they must first conquer the Big 10.
That means beating Michigan, something the Buckeyes have done just once in the last decade.
Circle Nov. 21 on the calendar the Buckeyes already have. That is when they play host to Michigan, which is 8-1-1 in the last 10 games against Ohio State, including three straight victories.
"We need to win that game. We need to do a better job. We need to make plays, coach better, play harder or whatever," Ohio State coach John Cooper said.
Ohio State defensive back Ahmed Plummer said the Buckeyes do not believe in jinxes or mental blocks when it comes to playing their biggest rival.
"I don't want to blame it on psychological things," Plummer said. "It's something we have to get over; we have to believe in ourselves. When we do go to Michigan, hopefully we'll be at the top of our game."
Michigan coach Lloyd Carr, whose team won the national title last season, said the Wolverines' domination of the Buckeyes was the result of several factors, including luck.
"It's the greatest rivalry in college sports," Carr said. "The last few years both schools have had a lot on the line. The more meaning it has, the better.
"They all come down to a guy making a play or getting a break," he said.
The Buckeyes have one of their toughest openers in years — on the road at West Virginia on Sept. 5. The Wolverines, ranked fifth in the preseason, go to Notre Dame.
“It’s not like all of a sudden we are No.1 and people are going to be up for us,” Cooper said. “I don’t know if we’ve ever caught anybody on an off day when we’ve played them. Everybody we play I’m sure has us underlined. If there is a big game on their schedule, I’m sure we’re it.”
Ohio State has 17 returning starters overall, although Butkus Award winner Andy Katzenmoyer had to attend summer school to be eligible along with safety Damon Moore and guard Rob Murphy.
Joe Germane, who shared the starting role with Stanley Jack
son for two years, is the No. 1 quarterback. He completed 61 percent of his passes last season and has thrown for 3,040 yards and 31 career touchdowns. He's got two top receivers in Dee Miller and David Boston and a quick run.

its national championship team, but Heisman Trophy winner Charles Woodson and quarterback Brian Griese are gone.
Tom Brady, Scott Dreisbach or freshman Drew Henson will replace Griese. Dreisbach has the most experience. He started all 11 regular-season games in 1996 but lost the job to Griese. Based on a strong showing in spring drills, however, Brady should be the top man this fall even though he attempted just 15 passes in a backup role last season.
Penn State, meanwhile, lost its final two games last season, and the Nittany Lions face a brutal schedule that includes six bowl participants from last season and trips to Columbus and Ann Arbor.
Troubled running back Curtis Enis left for the NFL, and the Nittany Lions are inexperienced on offense, especially at quarterback.
Coach Joe Paterno, two wins shy of 300, will rely on a defense led by end Courtney Brown, linebacker Brandon Short and defensive backs Shawn Lee and David Macklin.
Iowa lost running back Tavian Banks and kick returner extraordinaire Tim Dwight. The Hawkeyes' defense features fensive end Jared DVries, a
three - year starter.
"When we're not supposed to have a shot, we're usually at our best," coach Hayden Fry said.
Michigan State is playing a 12-game
schedule for the first time in school history. The Spartans lost key offensive performers in quarterback Todd Schultz, tackle Flozell Adams and guard Scott Shaw.
They do have returning tailback Sedrick Irvin, who gained 1,270 yards last season, and defensive end Robaire Smith, who had 11 1/2 sacks.

return just four offensive starters and Drew Brees must make the jump from backup to starting quarterback.
"Big" is the word at Wisconsin, where the Badgers have 260-pound Ron Dayne back for another season, running behind an offensive line that includes 370-pound Aaron Gibson and 311-pound Chris McIntosh, both 6-foot-7.
Dayne was slowed by injuries last season but still managed to gain 1,457 yards, one season after he picked up 2,109 as a freshman. The Badgers also have an experienced quarterback in Mike Samuel and a soft early-season schedule.
'for the first time in years, there's no Autry in Northwestern's backfield. Adrian Autry, a 1,000-yard rusher, is gone, but the Wildcats hope to be bolstered by the return of wide receiver D'Wayne Bates, who broke his leg in the season opener last year.

Atwell and count on linebacker Parc Williams to lead a defense that was one of the most improved last year under coach Glen Mason, entering his second season.
Cam Cameron is also in his second season at Indiana. Defensive end Adewale Ogunley, who has 18 1/2 sacks in two seasons, and quarterback Jay Rodgers, who completed 58 percent of his passes last season, are keys for the Hoosiers if they want to improve on a 2-9 record.
Illinois coach Ron Turner suffered through an 0-11 season in his first year. And now Illinois, with a school-record 17 straight losses, has lost Robert Holcombe, the leading rusher in school history.
Turner wants to find a quarterback and stick with him, something he didn't do last year.
He hopes Mark Hoekstra, who started five games last season but was inconsistent, will be the answer.
New head coach plans to focus on winning image
The Associated Press
GRAMBLING, La. — Before the first pink streaks of dawn paint the sky above the old water tower, Doug Williams and his players are busy changing history.
Elsewhere, this would be football practice. Here, it is the beginning of a new era.
Grambling State rebuilds team
For the first time, someone other than Eddie Robinson is calling the shots at Grambling State.
"I don't have a sense of history as much as I have a sense of urgency," said Williams, a star Grambling quarterback in the 70s and the Super Bowl MVP for the Washington Redskins in 1988. "For years the saying was, 'Grambling doesn't rebuild, it reloads.' Well, we're rebuilding now."
For a man whose fondest dream has come true, Williams is amazingly clear-eyed.
He is following the coach who won more football games than any other and made a tiny school in the piney-woods of north Louisiana famous. But that doesn't worry Williams as much as trying to prepare for the season.
For decades, Grambling expected victories — 408 in 57 years, with at least a share of 17 Southwestern Athletic Conference titles. But the Tigers struggled in Robinson's final three years.
Losing seasons were made worse by an NCAA investigation and probation, discipline problems with players, declining attendance and a lack of attention from the pro scouts that once flocked to Grambling.
"Grambling went 11-21 the last three years, including back-toback 3-8 seasons," Williams said. "That makes it easier for me to take over after Coach. Everyone knows it's time for a change here."
That did not make the change universally popular.
Even at 78, Robinson did not want to step down. Ideally, he said, he would coach until he was 100. A move to oust him two seasons ago was thwarted when he asked for one more season to try to go out with a winning record. By that time, it had sparked bitterness, split longtime friendships and rocked the alumni and community.
When Williams' name surfaced as a replacement, his once warm relationship with his old coach cooled, and when Williams took over, the two men did not speak. Then Williams was forced to work in a bare office in a trailer behind the athletic building when Robinson did not move out of his office until mid-August.
the rift remains. There was also some opposition to Williams from those who could not imagine anyone other than Robinson in charge.
"Some people I've known for years stopped talking to me," Williams said. "I know there are those who think I shouldn't be coach, but I can't hop on that because I am the coach and I have a big job to do."
Scrapped were everything from the antiquated wing-T offensive set to the pre-dawn visits Robinson made to the dorm to wake his players for breakfast.
"He treats us like we're young men, not kids," senior wide receiver Silas Payne said of Williams. "Everything now is about responsibility. You don't have to make practice or lift or do the things he wants. But if you don't, you don't play."
During spring practice, players had to report to a 5:30 a.m. conditioning drill. During the fall two-a-days on the field near the Grambling city water tower, practices were from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and again in the afternoon.
The late arrivals and carelessness that had prevailed in the past few years were no longer tolerated.
"All of a sudden, the key words were discipline and hard work," senior offensive lineman Kori Smith said. "Practices are harder, faster, but everyone is really focused now. We know if we do the things he wants us to do, there's a big reward ahead."
Williams makes his demands with the confidence of a successful quarterback. His coaching credentials may be slim — he was 3-8 at Morehouse in his only other college job — but his reputation is huge.
Williams passed for 8,411 yards and 93 touchdowns as a Grambling quarterback from 1974-77. The Tigers were 35-5 during that stretch, and he was the first player from a predominantly black college ever chosen as a first team All-American by the Associated Press.
"I don't have a sense of history as much as I have a sense of urgency. For years the saying was, 'Grambling doesn't rebuild, it reloads.' Well, we're rebuilding now."
Doug Williams
Grambling State football coach
Then, in one quarter of one fantastic game, Williams put his name in the NFL record books.
In the 1988 Super Bowl, with Washington trailing the Denver Broncos 10-0. Williams shook off a bone-rattling hit to spark a Redskins victory.
In the second quarter, Williams passed for 228 yards and four touchdowns to put Washington ahead 35-10. He ended up with a Super Bowlrecord 340 total yards, a 42-10 triumph and an MVP award to highlight his career.
"I think Grambling prepared me for that kind of success as well as the struggles that led up to it," Williams said. "Grambling taught me who I was and what I was and how to deal with it. We worked so hard here and did so much with so little that everything afterwards seemed easy. That's what I want to give these players. That sense that they have succeeded here and can do it again anywhere."
The path to success will be a hard one for Williams. This season, he's replacing 12 starters and 22 lettermen, including the quarterback, kicker and punter.
Only a single Grambling player made the pre-season SWAC team, and Williams' fellow coaches put the Tigers at the bottom of the conference in the early ranking.
Add to that only three home games and travels as far as New Jersey, Dallas and San Diego for those games that have traditionally earned Grambling substantial paydays, and Williams admits any victories will be hard-earned.
"Sometimes, I find myself being optimistic, then I return to reality and realize how far we have to go." Williams said, "But this is Grambling, and we've always had a lot of pride. Coach built something great here. I don't have the slightest doubt we can rebuild it. It'll just take a little while."

College coaches suggest limiting preseason football
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The NCAA should limit the number of preseason bowl games, but not ban them, the coaches appearing in this year's Kickoff Classic said.
The Associated Press
NCAA may end games
"I don't know why if the concept was good to start ... as a kickoff showcase for college football to wet everyone's appetite for the season, then I don't know anything that has changed since then that would make these games bad," Slocum said in a conference call Monday to promote the Kickoff Classic next Monday.
Bobby Bowden of Florida State and R.C. Slocum of Texas A&M both have concerns about a proposal being considered by the NCAA to eliminate the preseason games after 2002. The proposal will be voted on in January at the NCAA Convention in San Antonio.
Slocum and Bowden are concerned about the increase in the number of preseason games. The first Kickoff Classic was played in 1983, and the Pigskin Classic was
added in 1990. Four will be played this year.
The lineup this year will have Colorado State playing Michigan State on Saturday in the Black Coaches Association game. Louisiana Tech and Nebraska will meet in the Eddie Robinson Football Classic, also Saturday.
Purdue will play at Southern California the next day in the Pigskin Classic, and Texas A&M and Florida State play Monday.
"If we are going to get where everyone can have a little opening bowl game, I'm not in favor of that," Bowden said. "If you want to keep the Kickoff Classic and the Pigskin Classic, and maybe that's all, then I can live with that."
"If everyone is going to have one, we ought to have everyone go to a 12-game schedule and forget the classics," he added.
Dropping all the games would hurt some causes.
Money from the preseason games helps finance groups such as the National Association of College Directors of Athletics, American Football Coaches Association, Black Coaches Association and the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame.
"When I first heard that idea (eliminating the preseason games), I thought there is no way they are going to do that because the whole
idea was to make money for the colleges and the retirements and things like that," Bowden said. "I could not see the NCAA wanting to eliminate them."
While preseason games earn money for their schools, the coaches said that they also give them a chance to play quality opponents and get on the field before other teams.
Had they not agreed to play in this game, both schools would not have opened the season until Sept. 12.
"We have an aspiring team and an aspiring program," Slocum said. "We have rolled along the last nine years, winning over nine games a year, and we would like to be better than we are. I think the best course for us is to take the opportunity to play a team like Florida State."
During the past decade, the two schools have been among the best in college football.
Florida State is 86-11-1 for an .883 winning percentage, second among Division I-A schools to Nebraska's. 884. Texas A&M is 75-21-2, and its 776 percentage is sixth best. The Aggies return 14 starters from a 9-4 team that lost to UCLA in the Cotton Bowl, while Florida State returns 14 from an 11-1 team that beat Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl.
Colorado quarterback quits
The Associate Press
BOULDER, Colo. — Junior-college transfer Mike Moschetti has been named Colorado's starting quarterback, a move that prompted his backup to quit the team.
Junior Jeremy Weisinger withdrew from school Monday, hours after head coach Rick Neuheilis said Moschetti would start in Colorado's Sept. 5 opener against Colorado State.
CU
"Mike has done a great job in the brief time he's been here," Neuheisel said. "We feel like his growth has been steadfast and his potential for continued growth merits him winning the starting job."
Moschetti, 23, was drafted by the Oakland A's in 1993 and hit .351 with Modesto in the California League before leaving baseball and enrolling in junior college.
He led Mount San Antonio College to the 1997 California Junior College title and the No.1 ranking in the final junior-college football poil.
Under NCAA rules, Weinger must sit out one year if he transfers to another Division I-A school. He would have two years of eligibility if he goes to a Division I-AA or Division II school.
Weisinger's father, Jerry Weisinger, said Neuheisel misled his son about transfer options, and he planned to meet today with Colorado athletic director Dick Tharp.
"He's just crushed," the elder Weisinger said. "He's heartbroken. He still has his dreams. He's wanted to come here since the eighth grade, but I know his goal is to get out of here now."
With Weisinger gone, sophomore Adam Bledsoe will be Moschetti's backup.

KU summer enrollment at 8,459
University retains students in break
(USPS 650-640)
By Melody Ard Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas had the highest enrollment of the six Board of Regents universities for the 1998 summer session.
Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, associate provost of enrollment, said the final head count for the 1998 summer class sessions at all KU campuses was 8,459. Lawrence campus enrollment was 7,089.
Wichita State University had the second highest summer enrollment with 7,300 students. Kansas State University was third with 5,209 students enrolled in summer classes.
The enrollment for this year's summer session on the Lawrence campus increased 3 percent from the summer 1997
total of 6,886 students. McCluskey-Fawcett said.
A concern during the planning of the summer session was the lack of professors to meet the student interest in course offerings, although that did not become a problem as the schedule was developed.
"I don't know of any students who were turned away from a class," said Beverly Davenport Sypher, associate dean of the college of liberal arts and sciences. "In fact, I think that we had to cancel a few classes that we had planned."
Although they did not have a problem finding instructors for
"We are on a rotation," Joslyn said. "I was more than happy to teach. Some professors sign up and some don't, and I was one of the ones who did."
Mark Joslyn,political science professor,said he was willing to teach during the summer session and that there was good enrollment.
classes, the exact number of classes offered this summer has not yet been tallied by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
"I think they had enough classes," Driscoll said. "I took a class at 8:30 in the morning because it was the only time offered that I could get into. I would have liked to have seen it offered later, but it worked with my schedule."
Kelly Driscoll, Overland Park junior, took one class during the summer session to help meet her graduation requirement.
"As far as the numbers, we still don't have an exact number on how many classes were offered," said Jolene Fairchild, college of liberal arts and sciences budget manager.
Richard Givens, assistant provost, listed the budget as $2.2 million for the summer, which was a decrease from $2.3 million allotted in the summer of 1997.

Hurricane Bonnie extends near and far

Half-million residents flee inland to avoid high winds, rough waters
The Associated Press
WILMINGTON, N.C. — Taking one of history's busiest storm routes, Hurricane Bonnie blew ashore yesterday and began a slow crawl up the Carolina coast with stinging rain and howling winds of more than 100 mph.
Arriving hours after a half-million people had fled inland, the storm swamped roads, knocked out power to at least 240,000 and peeled part of a roof from a hospital. There were no immediate reports of deaths or serious injuries.
Forecasters said the storm could linger over North Carolina for a day or more and could bring up to 20 inches of rain. Winds were 115 mph when Bonnie hit land but dropped to 105 mph after nightfall.
There were preliminary reports that the storm created new inlets that cut two small barrier islands in half, authorities said.
Andrew Tawes was among the few who remained on North Carolina's Outer Banks as the storm hit. He stayed to look after his house and cabinet shop. His wife and two children fled the island to stay
"We're not talking about one burst of water, like a tidal wave." Moore said. "We're talking about the water being backed up in our sounds by the winds for as long as the hurricane lingers."
with relatives.
Officials said Bonnie could raise water levels in some areas by 9 feet to 11 feet. Tide levels 9 feet above normal were reported in some areas yesterday afternoon.
The storm was expected eventually to veer to the northeast and move out to sea near the North Carolina-Virginia line, but possibly not until tomorrow—a day later than expected.
"I've got thousands of dollars in wood and materials in my shop right now," he said. "I'm scared to death."
Bonnie ripped a roof from a small community hospital in Brunswick County, north of Cape Fear. Plans to move the patients were on hold until storm conditions eased.
Bonnie moved over the Brunswick Nuclear Power plant, where reactors were shut down Tuesday.
Southport postmaster Marvin Watson
regretted not getting off Oak Island before the only bridge closed Tuesday night.
"I'll tell you one thing — it's scary out there," he said as the wind pushed sheets of water across the island.
More than 16,000 people spent the night in 108 shelters scattered across 42 North Carolina counties.

While Bonnie reached the coast, Hurricane Danielle was weakening over the Atlantic — 1,900 miles southeast of Miami — and moving toward the northwest at 21 mph with winds of 85 mph that were expected to strengthen.

The last few days were turbulent for Tim Tyson.
He had been flying in a DC-8 jet out of Patrick Air Force Base in Florida and into the eye of Hurricane Bonnie.
Tyson is the public affairs officer from Marshall Space Flight Center in charge of NASA's Hurricane Study Program. He also is a 1975 broadcast journalism graduate of the University of Kansas.
"There's only one Jayhawk on that plane." he said. The hurricane project is a collaboration between NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, part of the National Weather Service.
Forty people, mainly scientists, have flown into the storm on the DC-8. One person flew a former U2 spy plane. They collected data that will help anticipate the size, force and direction of future hurricanes.
"Every time, you do something for the first time. It can be a little scary," Tyson said.
Tyson acted as a pool reporter with a pool cameraman and to provide information to reporters. The space on the DC-8 was too limited and the flight was too dangerous for a group of reporters to ride along.
"Nobody had a clue how the hurricane would react and the turbulence would be at 30,000 feet." Tyson said.
Yesterday's flight was Tyson's second and last flight into the eve of the storm.
He said the information they gathered would save money and lives.
Tyson said it cost $1 million per mile to evacuate the coast. With the new data, it may be possible to anticipate the areas that must be evacuated with more accuracy and thus prevent unnecessary evacuations.
"I think this was probably one of the more important things I've done in my journalistic career," Tyson said.
Tyson visited the University last November and spoke to several classes, including those of David Guth, associate professor of journalism.
Guth said Tyson talked about the high and the low points of working at NASA.
"I gather that what he's done in the last 48 hours is one of the high points." Guth said.
Tyson's work wasn't always this glamorous. He started as a sportswriter at Kansas State University, then went into the Air Force for four years. When he returned to college, he studied broadcast journalism at the University.
He worked at three radio stations in Lawrence, including KANI.FM.
"Since I was a kid, I'd always been in love with the space program." Tyson said.
He was in charge of an exhibit program and served as the center's congressional-affairs officer. About a year ago, Tyson became Marshall's public affairs officer. Because the lead scientist in the hurricane study program is from Marshall, Tyson was placed in charge of the project's publicity.
Tyson moved to Salina after he graduated and worked in radio and then moved to Huntsville, Ala., where he held several jobs in journalism before going to Marshall Space Flight Center in 1981.
Parking becomes even more elusive
By Seth Jones Kansan staff writer
Watching students fight for spots in yellow lots this semester is much like watching sharks in a feeding frenzy on The Discovery Channel.
Don Kearns, director of parking, said the total number of parking permits sold this year would not be available for another two to three weeks.
Last year, a total of 6,388 yellow parking permits were sold for 5,043 available parking spaces. This year, there are 5,037 spaces available for students with yellow permits. So far this year, 3,800 permits have been sold during the enrollment period. Roughly half that number was sold last year at enrollment.
Dan Wagner, Orlando, Fla., sophomore,
said that when he was running late for a
class, parking spots were even more difficult to find.
"I sometimes have to drive all across campus looking for a lot with some open spaces." Wagner said. "Sometimes, I'll ask people if they want an air conditioned ride to their car in exchange for their spot. That usually works."
Wagner said it was helpful to look for a spot early.
Donna Hultine,
assistant director
of parking, said it
"The lot west of the Stadium is usually the last to fill up. If you are absolutely desperate, park at the Lied center and walk, it's all down hill."
Donna Hultine Assistant director of parking
seemed like more students were trying to park compared to last year.
"Usually in two weeks, it'll ease up, people car pool, and alternate routes. Maybe they'll start riding the bus."
Hultine said construction also might be a reason for the shortage of spaces.
"All of the south side of the Field House is under construction, and the construction at the football field is eating up some spaces also."
The number of parking permits sold to students during enrollment last semester also has increased.
Kearns he wished everyone would buy their permits at enrollment.
"Things go so much smoother. We don't have people waiting in long lines in the office, we know how many permits we've sold and everyone gets their permit on time."
Kearns said the new Park and Ride system could be one solution to the over-crowded lots.
"As of noon on Wednesday, we've sold 160 Park and Ride passes. This will ease the burden on the lots, and I'm also trying to make it easier for the students to distinguish Park and Ride buses with flags I've bought to put on the buses."
Hultine suggested that students should try to park in lots that fill up last.
"The lot west of the Stadium is usually the last to fill up. If you're trying to park at the Burge (Union), you need to show up early because it fills up so early. If you are absolutely desperate, park at the Lied Center and walk — it's all down hill."
Hultine said anyone who wasn't sure about a bus pass still could buy one and return it if they weren't satisfied with the service.
"If they come back by Sept. 8 and they have found a better way to get to class or they just aren't happy, I give them a full refund."

Police apprehend suspects in beating of KU employee
A 33-year-old University of Kansas employee was beaten and robbed about 11:20 p.m. Tuesday when two men attacked him at a local car wash. Lawrence police said.
Lawrence residents William Keith Morris and Paul Dean Watson were arrested by Lawrence police and charged with battery in the robbery.
The incident began when Morris, 30, and Watson, 32, confronted the man at the RACO East 23rd St. Car Wash and told him to give them his money, Lawrence police Sgt. George Wheeler said.
"He resisted by spraying them with the wand (that is used to wash the car)," he said.
After that, the two men took a credit card and $12 in cash from the man, and Morris struck him in the face. Lawrence police said.
Police then searched the area until they found a Kwik Shop employee who said she remembered one of the robbers.
Police said when they looked at the store's video surveillance tape, an officer recognized one of the suspects and knew were to find him.
Shortly after that, the police knocked on the door of a trailer house at 2200 Harper St., where they found the men and arrested them, Lawrence police said.
Morris and Watson's first appearance in court was at 3 p.m. yesterday. They still are being held in the Douglas County Jail.

The Spencer Museum of Art announced Monday that it had received a $23,000 gift from museum supporters Harry and Anne Foresman.
Harry Foresman is the brother of Helen Foresman Spencer, who gave $3.5 million to the University in 1975 to help pay for the construction of The Helen Foresman Spencer Museum of Art.
"We wanted to do something for the museum and something for Helen," Harry Foresman said. "It's unbelievable to see how much progress the museum has made. We know Helen would be very proud."

Pan-helenic council elects senior as new president
After only four months since their last election, the National Pan-Hellenic Council elected a new president Tuesday night.
Last May, Dion Jones, also president of the Black Student Union, was elected to the position. Before the installation of his office, problems arose because of time commitments with the two organizations.
Adrian Franks, senior in architectural engineering and a member of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity, was elected president of the organization, which oversees the historically African-American fraternities and sororites and the Latina sorority at the University.
Two other positions are still open. A Student Senate and Panhellenic Association representative will be appointed soon.
Lorraine Tolbert, admissions counselor and co-adviser of the council, said Frankas became very involved during the summer in planning an October conference and began to show interest in the position.
"I've been part of the NPHC for the past two years," Franks said. "I just wanted to keep it running in a positive direction."
Franks already has plans to increase the amount of the council's community service work, and he hopes to unite the the council with other multicultural organizations at the University.
He also plans to create a minority organizations reference guide that will provide information about all the multicultural areas of the campus.
A resource table with information about minority organizations and women studies will be set up today in the Kansas Union.

NATION Northwest stops flights in anticipation of strike
EAGAN, Minn. — Northwest Airlines canceled several hundred flights yesterday even as talks to avert a strike by pilots continued less than three days before the deadline.
Jim Faulkner, an airline representative, said that the airline was hopeful about reaching a resolution.
The pilots union set a strike deadline of 11:01 p.m. Friday. The sides are negotiating issues of compensation, job protection and work rules.
Northwest said yesterday that 170 of 1,700 flights would be canceled for Friday and 230 flights would be canceled Saturday. They will remain canceled even if a strike is averted. About 25,000 passengers were booked on the flights, most of which were domestic.

WORLD Health officials declare Sydney's water unsafe
SYDNEY, Australia — For the second time in a month, Sydney residents awoke yesterday to warnings that the tap water in the city that will hold the 2000 Olympics is unfit to drink.
In a city that considers itself one of the world's most modern and smooth-functioning, water fountains in schools were shutdown and signs put up in office blocks warning people not to drink the water unless it had been boiled for at least a minute.
The alert has incensed residents, who were instructed for a week in late July to boil their water or risk serious illness after dangerous microscopic parasites giardia and cryptosporidium turned up in the city's water system.
After that scare, Sydney's main water treatment plant was cleaned and the water system flushed with fresh water. A $21 million upgrade of the city's water infrastructure also was announced.
Testing showed the levels of cryptosporidium were higher this time than the previous scare, Health Department Director-General Mick Reid said today.
tough no cases of illness have been reported as a result of either outbreak in Sydney, state opposition leader Peter Collins said the scare was a serious threat to the city's international prestige.
"This is not a novelty anymore. This is starting to look like a regular problem in Sydney," he said.

Police advocate care in parking
Kansan staff writer
By Kelli Rayborn
Voyage staff member
If you park your car at Oliver Hall, don't be too surprised to find it damaged when you return.
During the 1997-98 school year, 14 reports of theft from or damage to vehicles parked in Lot 112, next to Oliver, were filed with the KU Public Safety Office. Four parking permits also were reported stolen from vehicles in that lot. So far this semester, the office has received at least three reports of damaged vehicles parked there.
"My car got dinged up a couple days ago," said Chris Berge, Denver sophomore and Oliver Hall resident. "I think there are a lot of drunk drivers in there at night who don't really care. They just park, and they're out of there."
Berge approved of recent increases in the number of spots available at Oliver but said the spots were too close together.
Other problematic lots last year included Lot 111, near Gertrude Sellars Pearson-Corbin Hall, from which 17 reports of theft, damage and vandalism were filed last academic year. Lot 102 in front of Lewis Hall generated 12 such reports, and in Lot 109, west of Jayhawker Towers, of eight reports, seven were of damaged or vandalized vehicles.
Sgt. Troy Maileen of the KU Public Safety Office said a number of factors contributed to the safety of any parking lot.
"The location of the lot in relation to the building itself, visibility, and lighting could
play in." Mailen said.
In the case of Oliver Hall's parking lot, Mailen said layout of the building and the lot was a significant part of the problem.
"It's a large parking lot and it's off to the side," Mailen said. "There is no direct view from Oliver into the lot."
When parking anywhere on campus, Mailen suggested that students take a few simple steps to secure their vehicles and try to avoid becoming victims of thieves or
vandals.
"One of biggest things we try to tell everybody is that they need to secure loose items — radar detectors, removable stereos and purses," Mallen said.
Students should never leave anything sitting on the seats of their cars or on the floor in plain view, Mailen said.
"It doesn't take long to smash a window and grab loose items," he said. "That's cash to somebody else."
Mailen also suggested that
students always lock doors and roll up windows, and try to remain in well-lit areas. He said most of the campus was well-lighted but said some areas still needed improvement. He also said students could play a role in stopping thieves and vandals on campus.
"If they see anything suspicious, it helps us if they let us know," he said. "With a student's assistance, it's possible we could stop something from happening."
Lewis reconstruction is on schedule; so are neighbors' complaints
y Sarah Hale
Kansan staff writer
Fallen concrete, broken glass and construction equipment surround Lewis Hall as demolition crews continue gutting the building.
The remodeling that will transform the residence hall into suites began June 1, after students moved out. According to the progress report issued Tuesday, the project is on schedule and should be finished in June 1999.
After furniture was removed from the hall, Topeka-based Ferrel Construction began knocking down interior walls.
Phil Garito, associate director of student housing, said the interior demolition was a difficult and time-consuming process.
Beginning on the 10th floor, all the lobby windows were removed so that two small bulldozers could be raised into the building.
After each floor was finished, the same process was repeated on the rest of the floors.
The noise and construction mess have been inconvenient to some students, but things still are running smoothly, said Ken Stoner, director of student housing.
Stoner said Ekdahl Dining Commons, which was connected to Lewis, had not been negatively affected.
Stoner said that noise could be heard in the serving area but that the dining area should be OK. Walkways to the cafeteria were constructed to ensure diners' safety.
"We planned ahead far enough to avoid problems," he said. "The cafeteria operates on a separate line and independently from the rest of the building."
"I'm just happy that they have everything pretty much under control and safe," said Dana Parsons, Spivey freshman and McColum Hall resident. "The little path to walk on is kind of annoying."
"You can hear things from the rooms, but I wouldn't say that the noise is going to cause problems. Students have to understand what they're doing."
Merry Goodman
Emporia freshman and Templin Hall resident
Some Templein residents had complained about the demolition noise, which will cease by the middle of next week.
"You can hear things from the rooms, but I wouldn't say that the noise is going to cause problems," said Merry Goodman, Emporia freshman and Templin Hall resident. "Students have to understand what they're doing."
As the demolition on each floor was completed, plumbers began work, followed by electricians, Stoner said.
Stoner said Ferrel Construction would try to finish the plumbing and electrical work before winter so the building could be sealed and the heat turned on. Crews will begin the drywall and Sheetrock processes as they seal the building.
The cost of the Lewis renovation is estimated at $5.2 million. According to the progress report, an additional $700,000 has been allotted for unexpected problems.
Garito said students living near Lewis should prepare to hear some more minor noises.
"Other noise is going to be generated as they are running the utility lines through the floors and they are drilling holes," he said. "But it won't be as bad."

Students should make good use of new, additional recycling bins
At the University of Kansas, many students realize the importance of recycling. They have been educated about it since they stepped into a classroom. Some push for more recycling efforts at KU Environns meetings and on political platforms for Student Senate. Most students see that they generate many waste products that could become useful if they would take the time to throw it into the proper receptacle.
However, many students have problems with time management. Every moment is precious and overscheduled, and spending a few extra locating a recycling bin does not equal the consequences of being tardy for a class or missing a bus.
This year, there is no excuse for ignoring recycling. The University has placed bins in more buildings
It is important to dispose of waste material in its proper place.
on campus and for all different types of materials. In one stop, a student can drop off empty soda bottles, aluminum, extra paper, and perused University Daily Kansans.
Unfortunately, this does not stop some students from using the new bins for a much more base purpose, trash. Instead of using the bins on which the University has spent sufficient quantities of money, some students use them as the nearest dumpster. This abuse of the new bins will make it difficult for those who take the materials to the recycling plant. It could even endanger the possibility of the materials being recycled if the materials are not sorted correctly.
It also could cause the administration to think that attempts to promote recycling are not worthwhile or cost-effective.
The students of the University have heard the mantra of recycling for many years now: One person can make a difference. This should be kept in mind the next time there is something to pitch. Throwing the recyclable material into the proper container allows it to be rendered into something new.
Throwing trash into a recycling bin makes for a nuisance. Students should save the Earth and beautify their campus by putting everything into its proper place.

Saferide provides valuable resource
While students are planning their evenings out this semester, they need to realize that Saferide offers a free ride home. Whether students are avoiding driving drunk or a late-night walk along through a poorly lighted area of Lawrence, Saferide will provide transportation for them.
From past experience, we know that other alternatives may be stupid, costly, dangerous and fatal.
Saferide, a program of KU on Wheels financed by fees students pay each semester, offers all students, at no additional cost, direct transportation to their Lawrence homes from anywhere in Lawrence.
Students can contact Saferide at 864-SAFE for a free ride home.
The free service runs between 11:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m. every night during the semester. Plus, Saferide adds two cars to the regular five on weekend nights because of the higher demand. On some nights, incessant busy tones may require persistent re-dialing and patience, but a safe ride is well worth the wait.
mings: where they are and where they're going. A marked Saferide car picks students up and, after a KUID check, the driver takes students to their destination.
Students already know that driving after drinking is neither safe nor reliable. But knowing and acting on that knowledge are two different things.
When students call Saferide, they need to inform the dispatcher of two
Drunk driving fatality and arrest rates probably would fall if the drinking members of a community were responsible by not driving at all or by appointing a designated driver.
Students can reach Saferide at 864 SAFE (7233).

Perspective
Thinking with heart puts students ahead
The other day, I discovered a copy of a Larousse French Dictionary, published in Paris in 1903. The following entry disturbed me: "Nègre. Nègresse (Nig-
early disturbed me. Reger): a man or woman of black skin. It is the name given particularly to the inhabitants of certain parts of Africa, Guinea, Senegambia, etc., who form a race of black people, inferior in intelligence to the white race, called the Caucasian race. In niggers, the color of the skin seems to be caused by the climate. It is an acquired characteristic which becomes

transmissible and hereditary; but it is common knowledge today that a nigger family, transplanted into our climates, would acquire the white color after a few generations and without race mixing."
I sighed as I studied the dictionary's first pages. "To the Reader: Despite the imitations, the Larousse Dictionary remains the most complete, best informed and most interesting of all the compact dictionaries."
I sighed even more deeply as I thought about what the best informed people of our own times, many of them professors at respected universities, still are saying about black people. Just a few years ago, the author of The Bell Curve, using statistical data and scientific reasoning, "demonstrated" that black students are intellectually inferior to white students and recommended that programs such as Head Start be discontinued because these programs are a waste of taxpayers' money.
Last year, after President Clinton called for a dialogue on race relations, a group of people calling itself "Americans for Self-Determination" responded by organizing a lecture series to propose a solution to the race problem. One of the speakers, a professor who was introduced as a social scientist, cited a litany of statistical data, which he said "proved" that white people are more intelligent than black people. He recommended that affirmative action programs be eliminated immediately and to solve the race problem, the United States be divided into white states and black states to preserve cultural purity.
When I heard this, I thought I was dreaming.
This man was recommending a system
We might even become more dangerous, armed with the power of our academic positions. We then may dedicate our lives to perpetuating the existing stereotypes about the people of other races, religions and nations to conserve and increase the power of our own group. To make our work seem legitimate, we may shower it with phrases such as scientific method or accurate data, and we may portray ourselves as accomplished scholars.
After serious consideration, however, my disappointment turned into understanding. It occurred to me that colleges and universities are a microcosm of society. If we have inherited the prejudices of our society, these feelings do not disappear when we join a university. Higher education, as it exists today, may help us become brilliant, but it does not necessarily help us become good. And this does not change when we become professors.
of apartheid at the eve of the 21st century, using so-called scientific facts. I was disappointed. What happened to the criterion of intellectual honesty that professors insist students should demonstrate at all times?
This is unfortunate because higher education is such a vital part of our society and our times. Now, more than ever before, we need to assimilate knowledge, understanding and wisdom. This is the business of professors and students. What I deplore about the present state of higher education is that there is a gap between the head and the heart. With few exceptions, universities train exclusively the mind and neglect the heart.
To remedy the situation, we need to redesign the curriculum to give equal weight to training the mind and the heart. Before that is done, though, those of us already in higher education have to take things into our own hands. Our education need not be limited to the classroom. Through curricular and extracurricular activities, we have to cultivate not only our minds but also our hearts. We have to learn to listen beyond the words, read between the lines, think, feel and, most important of all, identify ourselves with our fellow human beings.
We already agree that a mind is a terrible thing to waste. Can we also afford to waste our heart?

Clinton debacle leaves little room for real heroes
As a bouncer checked my age like some sort of Neo-Gestapo storm trooper (Is this really Lawrence—no teenagers in bars?) a slurring old wine
teenagers in bars?) a sl glanced up from his frosty yellow schooner.
"Mr. Clinton, how are ya' doing these days?" he said. "Too bad about ol' Monica."
Ouch. Not that William Jefferson Clinton is a bad-looking man, but I don't especially enjoy being compared in any way to a 52-year-old politician. Friends have
John Wilson

mockingly compared my appearance to the president a few times, but this complete stranger scared and scarred me.
I walked over and shook the man's hand
"That's not exactly a compliment, man," I said. "He's not somebody anyone looks up to these daws."
The man dove back into his beer, and I walked away a bit shaken.
I wondered about the idea of an American hero in 1998. I wondered if men were worth looking up to these days.
As a teenager, Michael Jordan gave us a man to emulate. American capitalism (Nike) builds heroes (Jordan) to hock athletic goods. Even so, these heroes taught me lessons about athletic success.
Only a handful (maybe 10) on this campus of more than 25,000 will become rich on the athletic field — and I certainly won't be one of them. These stars don't apply much to the adult world which I intend to live.
I'm looking for men — real men, good men. Men who make this world a better place in which to live.
Men like Martin Luther King Jr. and John F. Kennedy. History holds up dead men to greatness without remembering criticism, but these men did great things and lived
important lives. They fought against racism and bigotry, and they fought for good things. I just don't see these men anymore or these inherently good battles to fight.
What does it say about our country and times that I can't look up to the president? Maybe I'm being idealistic, but there should be men who act the way society preaches its youth should act.
If our politicians, the leaders of our country, can't give us a model of how to act, it is hard to decide who can. Some may suggest that it's the businessman, but any capitalistic billionaire leaves an immoral, soulless material distaste in my mouth.
Our society just isn't set up to tell these stories. Stories of political power and greedy wealth have been programmed into our hearts but hopefully not our souls. We don't listen to stories about good men.
The capitalist system doesn't put ethical restraints on society — which is the key to our vision of freedom. I want to find men who live moral, loving, giving lives.
I've torn down the athletes, the politicians and the rich men — the masters of America. As our generation prepares to perpetuate this cycle, this plea will probably fall on deaf ears, and I am left with little.
It's not much — just a wish, a wish for a man. A wish for a real world leader of men who has a vision for the future of our country and world.
I can't give up hope for a real hero.
I can’t give up hope for a real here.
If Original Sin is one of the building blocks of Western Society, then perhaps this Bill Clinton mess and the greater problems it has heaped upon my back had their beginnings in the Garden of Eden. We're all sinners under God, so maybe every man has his cracks that will show at some point.
But I just can't allow myself to give up hope in humanity.

Women's center gains new director
By Steph Brewer
Kansan staff writer
Kathy Rose Mocky just can't stay away from Lawrence.
The new director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center may have left Lawrence in 1984 to bask in the California sunshine, but now she's back at the University of Kansas, her alma mater, to continue the work of Barbara Ballard.
Ballard, who was director of the center for 18 years, was promoted to assistant vice chancellor of student affairs.
Ballard said her varied experience at the University would help her succeed in her new position.
Rose-Mocky said, "I feel fortunate to follow Barbara, who's done so many wonderful things with the center."

BROADWAY STREET
MIDDLE EAST
ENTERING
The purpose of the women's center is to promote awareness of gender issues. It holds programs throughout the year, including the ongoing Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Program. Rose-Mockry was introduced at the center's open house yesterday afternoon.
Rose-Mockry is no stranger to women's issues. Her last job was as director of the women's center at University of California at Los Angeles. While at the University, Rose-Mockry worked as a resident assistant at Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall and later as director of Lewis Hall.
"I enjoy immensely working with women's and gender-related issues," she said.
She said she took the job at the University because she liked the atmosphere.
"I love the environment at KU," she said. "The sense of community is unsurpassed."
The University is smaller than UCLA, which has about 35,000 students, but many issues are similar, such as the problem of sexual violence.
Sexual violence is one problem that has not disappeared during the years since Rose-Mockry began working with women's issues, she said. Other issues have changed.
"A lot of women coming into campus are not aware yet of where the barriers exist," she said.
She said that while it was good that barriers are less evident, it could cause problems as women moved up in the world. The higher women went, the number of women would decrease.
She said it could be difficult for young women who have never encountered these limitations to understand them.
As director of the center, Rose Mocky wants to help students real
ize and address these issues. She said she also wanted to collaborate more with other departments and student organizations. She stressed that she wanted to help both men and women students because inequality affected men, too.
The meaning of feminism has been debated in recent years. RoseMockry said if someone were to conduct a survey, most students probably would shy away from calling
themselves feminists. However, she said this was because of stereotypes and misconceptions.
"I don't think feminism is dead," she said. "The term may be dead, but the concepts aren't."
One of the problems today, she said, is fragmentation within the women's movement.
"That's unfortunate," she said,
"because we are by no means finished."
Student researches for child-care solutions
By Julie M. Sachs
Kansan staff writer
Finding excellent day care can be a long quest especially for busy working parents. So where does that leave the child?
Catherine Heaven is trying answer that question.
Through a $1,000 grant that she received from her Undergraduate Research Award, Heaven, Shawnee senior, is researching the history of child care in the United States.
"I think it's a great topic; it fits Catie's interest real well," said Elaine Sharp, professor of political science. "It can conceivably result in important results."
Heaven's focus entails why there hasn't been a federal bill which would provide child care to all citizens.
Her research project also will count as her thesis.
"The thing I wonder about most is that throughout wars and the Great Depression we have had national child care. But after times of
crisis they have been terminated," Heaven said.
She said her goal is to put the pieces of the past together so that the legislative choices of the present can become clear.
Originally, Heaven's plan for her project was to examine three separate issues: state differences in child care, Kansas child-care policy and national policies in child care.
Heaven said her volunteer work at the Hilltop Child Development Center day-care facility helped spark her curiosity of the day-care dilemma.
"I volunteered at Hiltop last year. Children in this facility are so positive and fun. They exhibit advanced social behavior. We're all so lucky to have such a nice facility," Heaven said. "I want everyone to have such good child care."
Through her research. Heaven discovered why the government was leery about national child care.
"Child care has traditionally been the states' rights," Heaven said. "There also is a fear of increased bureaucracy."
Heaven also said she found that in the past the
government was concerned with the cost of a national child-care program.
There are ways around the cost issue.
"Technically they could do it through subsidies; they could do it all sorts of ways," Heaven said.
they could rehabilitate it more. She also discovered that the family played a role in past and possibly present failures in child-care bills.
"They were also hesitant to pass a child-care bill because it skewed the role of the family raising the child." Heaven said.
Final results for her project will be presented at the Undergraduate Research Award symposium, which is scheduled for late to mid-February.
Sharp is optimistic about her student's project.
amic about her student's project. "Catie is enthusiastic about doing research. She is capable of doing the work," Sharp said. "It's an exciting project. She seems to be having a lot of fun."
Heaven encouraged students to get involved in the Undergraduate Research Award opportunity.
"It rewards people for being self-starters," she said. "It's so fun to do. Every time you have a breakthrough, it's your breakthrough."

Group preserves tradition of capoeira. Afro-Brazilian martial art and dance
by Mariana Paiva
Kansas staff writer
Kansan staff writer
They meet in South Park's gazebo for three hours to sing songs they don't fully understand and to practice acrobatic movements they have never seen before.
This little-known group of KU students and Lawrence residents study capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian tradition of martial art and dance.
(1)
Capoeira started during the colonial period in Brazil when slaves were prohibited from practicing any kind of martial art. Seeking to preserve their heritage and to learn how to defend themselves, the slaves disguised an Angolan martial art as a dance by adding music, creating what is now known as capoeira.
Antonio Alivera, Kansas City resident, practices the art of capoirae. About 20 KU students and Lawrence residents meet twice weekly at the South Park gazezo to participate in capoirae. Photo by Joseph Griffin/KANSAN.
Sam Good, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore, fell in love with capoeira after watching a video of this tradition. One year later, he began practicing capoeira with 20 other people.
"A lot of people learned from me to begin with, but I told them 'I am a student too. I don't know what I am doing, but I'll show you what I've learned,'" Good said.
Good spent last summer in Brazil learning Portuguese and different capoeira techniques. When he returned to Lawrence, he was surprised that a Brazilian capoeira teacher had come from St. Louis to teach the group that Good had organized.
"I'm really glad he came because he can teach very well, even better than some people I met in Brazil." Good said. "It is amazing how much they learned in the couple of weeks we have been practicing with Sombra."
Antonio Alivera, or Sombra, as he prefers to be called, said he wanted to help spread this tradition in the Lawrence and Kansas City areas.
He uses the hours in South Park to show the movements and to teach the students how to play the traditional instruments and the songs related to capoieira.
"Students need to learn how to flow with each other," Sombra said. "They have to be nice and defend themselves at the same time."
Tahoma Toelkes, Lawrence senior, found out about capoeira while he was working during the summer in Texas. Two Saturdays ago, Toelkes saw the capoeira
group performing in front of the Mercantile Bank, 900 Massachusetts St. He became a new member Tuesday
"I want to learn how to play capoeira because I think it is beautiful," Toelkes said. "Have you seen these smiles? You don't see people smiling in any other martial art."
Ana Cunha, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, sophomore, said she had been practicing capoeira for two years. She thought she would have to give up capoeira when she moved to Lawrence. Thanks to Good, she found a group in Lawrence that shared her love.
The capoera group meets every Tuesday and Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in South Park's gazebo, 1141 Massachusetts St.
The cost of the class is $50 a month or $10 per class.
"I want to register the organization at KU and publicize it and get more students involved," Good said. "Capoeira is very student oriented, and we are all fascinated by it."

Haskell students to test job program
HASKELL
INDIAN NATIONS UNIVERSITY
A pilot federal work-study program will be introduced to Haskell Indian Nations University students today.
City officials will talk to students about new job opportunities at a job fair from 2 to 4 p.m. in Stidham Hall at the university.

City officials hope to hire as many as 17 students through the program.
The idea for the program originated when Cindi Johnico, Haskell sophomore, learned that her rent would increase because of the additional income she received from a city internship this summer.
Johmico said students would be exposed to more experience than if they worked in an office at Haskell.
She also lost the Social and Rehabilitation Services benefits that she received in the spring when she had a work-study job.
"I'm tickled to death that we are able to work with the city," Campbell said.
Johnico wanted to keep working for the city and did not want return to her previous work-study job on campus.
Johnico worked with with the Haskell financial-aid office to create a work-study program with the city government.
Entering police reports into
Gary Campbell, supervisor of case management, thought any opportunity for the Haskell students to work with the city would be a win-win situation.
computers, overseeing programs at city recreation centers, researching special projects at Lawrence Public Library, and reviewing water, sewer, trash and drainage bills are some of the part-time responsibilities.
All of the jobs except for the utilities department intern will pay $6 per hour. The utilities department intern will make $6.50 per hour.
The jobs are part-time and about 15 to 20 hours per week.
Because this is a federal work-study program, the federal government is required to pay as much as $4.50 per hour and the city is required to pay the remaining amount.
For students to be eligible for the program, they must be eligible for a Pell Grant and have a cumulative grade point average of 2.0. Twenty-five students meet this criteria. Johnico said.
"The program is for students who will need it the most," Campbell said.
Johnico said the lack of transportation to and from work might become a barrier for interested students.
Another obstacle is that students already had class schedules for the semester, which could make juggling a new work schedule difficult.
Campbell said the program would not replace the regular internships already in place.

Reno reopens investigation of King killing
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Attorney General Janet Reno reopened the investigation of the 30-year-old assassination of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., focusing on two allegations of a conspiracy beyond James Earl Ray.
The limited review announced Aug. 20 stops well short of the national commission sought by King's family. The family had no immediate reaction, although Reno consulted with the family for months and telephoned King's widow, Coretta Scott King, to inform her of the act.
"We hope this review will provide answers to new questions that have been raised about a tragedy that still haunts our nation," Reno said in a brief written announcement. She promised a report on the findings.
Despite a narrow initial focus on separate allegations by a retired FBI agent and a former Memphis, Tenn., bar owner, "the evidence gathered by the inquiry will be followed wherever it may lead," the Justice Department said.
In meetings last spring with Reno and President Clinton, King and her sons had sought a national commission with power to grant immunity.
The family has expressed doubts about the official version that James Earl Ray, acting alone, shot King on the balcony of a Memphis, Tenn., motel April 4, 1968. Ray died in prison this year serving a sentence for killing King, but he had long ago disavowed his initial confession and spent years futilely seeking a new trial.
The review will be conducted by civil rights division lawyers, aided by criminal division attorneys, under the leadership of Barry Kowalski, who successfully prosecuted the Los Angeles police officers who beat black motorist Rodney King in an episode recorded on a video tape by a bystander.
The family and other civil rights leaders are suspicious of the FBI, which has defended the official version blaming Ray. In the 1960s, the FBI under then-Director J. Edgar Hoover secretly harassed and spied on King and other civil rights leaders. The FBI campaign, disclosed years later, included
To eliminate any appearance of prejudging the outcome, Reuo and FBI Director Louis Freeh agreed that the FBI would not participate in the review, Justice officials said. Any investigators will be drawn from other federal agencies or even private-investigative companies.

sending letters and tapes to Mrs. King in an attempt to discredit her husband.
The two allegations to be reviewed have not been examined by previous federal inquiries that blamed Ray. They come from former Memphis bar owner Lloyd Jowers and former FBI agent Donald Wilson, both of whom suggested there may have been a conspiracy involving people besides Ray.
Justice officials cautioned that the fed.
eral government might not be able to prosecute some allegations, even if proved true, because the statute of limitations on the basic federal crime in the case — conspiracy to deprive King of his civil rights — ran out 25 years ago.
There was no federal murder charge available for the King case in 1968. Tennessee's murder law has no statute of limitations, and any evidence Justice turns up could be turned over to state prosecutors, officials said.
When word of the limited review leaked this summer, one of Mrs. King's sons, Martin Luther King III, said: "That's a good first start. That's certainly not what we as a family would have hoped for."
Ultimately, I don't think that we can leave any stones unturned," he said. "This nation will be better for addressing the truth in this case, which I just feel has not been addressed this far."
Ray's brother, Jerry Ray, said he hoped a special prosecutor and not officials in the Justice Department conducted the review. "If the FBI does it, they'll say James done it and he's a racist," he said.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Cities can be sued for traffic accidents that occur during police chases, the Missouri Court of Appeals has ruled.
Appeals court rules officers can be sued for chase accidents
Lawyers said the issue raised in Tuesday's opinion by the Western District appeals court probably will have to be resolved by the Missouri Supreme Court. The court overturned a Jackson County judge's ruling as well as past rulings by the appeals court itself, and other state appeals courts.
Audit reveals plan's pork
The case involved a 1994 accident in Independence. Michael Stanley, 80, and his son, Danny Stanley, 50, were killed when their van was struck by a van being pursued by police after an armed robbery at a discount store. A man who took underwear and ties from the store was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and robbery.

TOPEKA — Dodge City Community College and two meat-processing companies profiled handsomely at the state's expense from specialized training courses the college and state Board of Education sanctioned at the two firms, an audit report showed.
By collecting state aid for the companies' employees who took the courses, Dodge City Community College made $1 million in fiscal year 1997, while Excel and National Beef were paid nearly $600,000 by the college under a payback arrangement that was legal but questionable, the audit said.
With the arrangement, the classes were taught by company employees at the meat-processing plants using the companies' equipment. The companies were supposed to pay tuition for each worker and then charge the college the same amount for use of its equipment and buildings — providing free training for the companies but without making a profit.

for instructor fees and rent — a gain of $600,000 for the two firms.
The audit showed Dodge City Community College received more than $900,000 from Excel and National Beef in tuition payments but paid the companies $1.5 million
"That's a sweetheart deal, no matter how you figure it," said Rep. John Edmonds of Great Bend, an accountant.
In turn, Dodge City collected $1.6 million in state aid, for a net gain for itself of $1 million.
Dodge City Community College provided 87 percent of the customized training courses for businesses in the fiscal year studied, but 15 more of the state's 19 public community colleges offered similar courses.

The audit report first was reviewed yesterday during a meeting in Dodge City of the Legislative Post Audit Committee and studied yesterday at a meeting of the Joint Committee on Economic Development.
Officials of Dodge City and several other community colleges were scheduled to respond to the audit before the Economic Development Committee yesterday.
"This situation developed before
The Dodge City situation first came to light last fall when Rep. Ethel Peterson of Dodge City questioned the arrangement the college had with the two meat processing companies.
The customized course program grew out of the state's economic development efforts of the mid-1980s. The Board of Education approved the Business and Industry Service Program in 1989 as a way to have the colleges provide companies with specialized training for their employees.
The audit said the department had provided scant oversight, had approved customized courses sometimes with inadequate review and had not required that instructors be hired by the colleges.
either of these men was on board," she said. "They've got the task of fixing it."
Some species already have been reduced to fewer than 100 trees, the World Wildlife Fund and two other conservation groups said in the report published Tuesday.
GENEVA — About 10 percent of the world's known species of trees are in danger of extinction, with many being destroyed by deforestation, grazing, development and fires, according to a new study.
Some tree species may die out soon, fund's study says
Fewer than one in four of the trees in danger benefit from protection efforts, according to the 650-page World List of Threatened Trees report, based on a three-year study financed by the Dutch government.
The Associated Press
According to the study, 8,753 of the world's 80,000 to 100,000 tree species are vulnerable. Of those, 1,000 were classed as critically endangered.
"It's scary; there's no other word for it," said Jean-Paul Jeurenraen, the head of fund's forest program.
Sons of the two victims filed a wrongful-death lawsuit, contending that police were reckless in the rush-hour chase. Jackson County Judge C. William Kramer ruled last year that police and the city were immune, but the appeals court sent the case back to him.
The organizations warned that species were being eliminated that have not yet been investigated scientifically.
Among the most threatened trees listed in the report are three species of which only one specimen is known to remain, all because of the loss of natural habitat.
More than 1,000 species are threatened as a result of felling, the study said. Farming and human settlement threaten about 1,650 species; grazing and uncontrolled forest fires were other major threats.
"This is the court of appeals saying, 'We were wrong, and we're turning it back' — cities aren't automatically off the hook anymore," said Julie J. Gibson, the Kansas City lawyer for the plaintiffs.
Allen Garner, an attorney for the Missouri Municipal League, said the ruling takes the state in the opposite direction of the U.S. Supreme Court. The court ruled this year that law-enforcement officers can rarely be sued in federal court for civil rights violations if they kill or injure someone during a chase.
That ruling, however, did not affect lawsuits under state personal injury laws.
Lawyers for Independence declined comment. Donald K. Anderson Jr., chairman of the Local Government Committee of the Missouri Bar, said the ruling, if it stands, would deter police chases.
"It will have a chilling effect on law enforcement." he said.
In her appeal, Gibson argued that a series of rulings in the 1990s had undermined a state immunity law passed in 1978. That law allows cities to be sued for negligent operation of an emergency vehicle, she said, and cities were sued for that in the 1980s.
She said courts ended those lawsuits in the 1990s by ruling that the immunity of individual police or firefighters extends automatically to cities.
"When they found the police were immune, they'd let the city off the hook as well," she said.
The opinion written by presiding Judge Victor C. Howard keeps police officers immune but makes cities liable. If it stands, it would return the case for trial on the issue of whether police acted negligently. A city's liability would be limited to $100,000.
Gibson said it meant cities would have to take a look at their hot-pursuit policies and perhaps increase officer training.

Students can net class information on Web site
By Melody Ard Kansan staff writer
University of Kansas students now can preview some of their classes before they enroll.
Last spring, Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, associate provost, commissioned the design of a Web site that would allow students to get information about classes and instructors.
The Web site has been visited 3,800 times since it was launched in early March.
Professors were notified of the site in a letter, which included information on the site's construction and on how to add their courses. McCluskey-Fawcett
said.
"We set up categories for them to fill in information, and we don't edit anything after they put it on the Web," she said.
McCluskey-Fawcett said the site was created in response to a request made last year by Scott Sullivan, student body president.
"Scott Sullivan pushed for faculty evaluations to be made public," she said. "This was a compromise."
McCluskey-Fawcett said she did not know how many professors had added their classes to the Web site, but she hoped to improve the site by involving more faculty and students.
Ryan Wenrich, Garden City senior, said he was unsure if he would have used the Web site to plan his schedule, but thought it was a good resource for students and an acceptable compromise to the faculty-evaluation issue.
Chris Crandall, associate professor of psychology, posted information about his Psychology 104 class last spring, but said he had not yet received any response.
"No one has asked me about the Web page, but I haven't taught the class vet." Crandall said.
Crandall said the Web site was a good alternative to publicizing faculty evaluations, especially those from larger classes.

Kiosks offer break for e-mail users
By Liz Wriston
Kansan staff writer
The 15 e-mail kiosks at Watson and Anschutz libraries are up and running, and University of Kansas students are keeping the machines occupied.
"These computers are a really good idea," said Julie Cook, Eudora junior.
"In the computer lab, you always have to wait because there are a lot of people, but here the computers are a lot easier to understand and you can use them really fast."
On Thursday and Friday, the first two days that the klosks were available, 82 separate accounts were accessed through the library klosks, said Lydia Ash, Budig Computer Lab adviser.
officer. He said that a great demand for e-mail access had drawn students to the stations.
Five skilok stations are on the third and fourth floors of Watson Library. Five more stations are on the main floor of Anschutz Science Library. The stations on the main floor of Watson Library seem to attract the most attention, said Kent Miller, library facilities
"The stations on the main floor are pretty heavily trafficked by students." Miller said. "The stations on the fourth floor don't seem to be quite as easy to see, and so I don't think they are getting as much use."
Additional Internet features are not being considered for the kiosks because of waiting-time issues and the availability of computers at other sites on campus, Emde said.
Some students were pleased to see the klosks.
"The new computers seem to be very convenient," said Rachel Blair, Overland Park freshman. "I think it is a good thing that we aren't wasting the computers that can be used by students wanting to do research or writing papers for class."

Once construction is complete, three to four klosks will be installed in the Kansas Union on the third level near
Library research now made easier
By Chad Bottos Kansan staff writer
As of Sept. 1, the Lexis-Nexis Educational Program will not be available at University libraries. Students and faculty will enter the Lexis-Nexis Academic Universe.
Lexis-Nexis Inc. has discontinued the Educational Program for general university use nationwide. Now it is only available to professional schools.
The computer search program commonly known as Lexis-Nexis around campus is actually the Lexis-Nexis Educational Program, said James Neeley, electronic information librarian.
The cost for Academic Universe is higher than the Educational Program. Neeley said the current cost was about $23,400 per year, while the new program would cost about $33,000 this year.
Academic Universe, like its predecessor, is an aggregate of information produced by thousands of publishers and companies around the world. Neeley said.
Lexis-Nexis Inc. compiles articles from journals, newspapers, magazines and many sources and sells them in a computerized format. Users of Lexis-Nexis Inc. products enter key words about a subject, and the products provide the full text of relevant articles.
Academic Universe will continue to offer publications available on the current program. Neeley said that several new features dramatically improved the older program.
With the new version, an unlimited number of users can access the new system simultaneously. Because of a contract the University has with Lexis-Nexis Inc., Neeley said that the current program allowed only for six users in Watson Library and 13 campus-wide at one time.
With this feature, people can now access the Academic Universe from computers at their homes, residence halls or around campus.
Other improvements include World Wide Web access and a computer interface that is much easier for users. Neeley said.
Also, the improved interface includes point-and-click technology that today's computer users are more familiar with.
To avoid any loss of availability, the University is maintaining the Educational Program in the business and journalism professional schools.
The disadvantage to the new program is the potential loss of publications available during the transition, Neeley said.
The law school is on a separate contract and will be unaffected by any changes, Neeley said.
Chuck Marsh, associate professor of journalism, said he was impressed with the libraries and Neeley's commitment to avoid any problems for students. He said they even agreed to pay the additional expenses incurred by keeping both programs for the journalism school.
Next year, the journalism department will share the expense with the libraries.

Kansas women's tennis player Kris Sell and her older sister, Jenny Garrity, saw each other only on major holidays when both had vacations from college tennis.
This season, the serving siblings will see each other during all breaks and break points.

Garrity accepted the head coaching position at Kansas on July 22, after three seasons as head coach at North Carolina State. She replaced Roland Thornqvist, who returned to North Carolina, his alma mater, as head women's tennis coach.
"I knew a lot about the school and the program from Kris," Garrity said. "I knew that Kansas ran a first-class organization that was dedicated to all of its sports, and this is the career jump I've been waiting for."
Garrity, the 1988 Atlantic Coach conference coach of the year, has a difficult task ahead of her. After ten years with the Wolfpack as a player and coach, Garrity leads a program that finished 21-6 and was ranked 17th nationally last spring.
However, Kansas lost three of its top four players after last season, which puts a little more pressure on the team. But Sell isn't concerned.
Kansas opens the fall season Sept. 18 at the William and Mary Invitational in Williamsburg, Va. Another sister will meet Sell and Garrity there.
"I realize that I will have more pressure on me as the lone senior on the team," said Sell, who will most likely occupy one of the top two singles positions. "But I think we can be just as good this season if we keep our confidence. Last season, every time we stepped on the court, we thought we would win, and that is so important."

every day, but not every day. When the two want to have dinner together, Sell cannot get a ride with her coach/sister because it is a rules violation. They must drive and nav separately.
"Once we can get them (the recruits) on campus, we can sell this place," Garrity said.
"We can't even go out and hit together unless I call her first," Sell said. "Otherwise, we break another rule."
Since becoming coach at Kansas, Garrity has been trying to recruit young talent for upcoming seasons.
Garrity has one scholarship remaining (out of eight available) for the spring season, and she is desperately trying to find a player who hasn't committed already to another school.
Young guns lack experience
Wegner only QB with any college game exposure
By Jodi M. Smith
Kansas sportswriter
Kansan sportswriter
When it comes to the Kansas quarterbacks it's all about experience. And they don't have much.
Of the four quarterbacks on the team, only junior starter Zac Wegner has ever played at the college level before.
Wegner's three backups are all new to college football.
Freshman Jonas Weatherbie, freshman walk-on Jake Leatourneau and junior walk-on Jay Alexander have never played a down of college football, but they're doing a good job covering that up.
Weatherbie, the current number two man for Wegner has proven that he can play above the freshman level.
"I've never really seen any freshman actually
step up into the position that he's in right now," Wegner said.
But Weatherbie wasn't originally the first pick for the backup quarterback position. Alexander stole that show.
Alexander was chosen for his experience, coach Terry Allen said.
But Alexander doesn't have any. At least no more than the other two, despite his two-year seniority.
"I think with Jay, he's older and

he's more experienced," Wegner said. "He's smart, he's more mature and that carries over on the field, too."
Alexander transferred to Kansas this year after spending two years at Independence Community College where he didn't play on the football team.
Alexander said that he didn't intend to walk on but that he changed his mind.
Until last Saturday.
"I've always wanted to play here, and I just got the urge to play again," Alexander said. "I feel I'm working pretty well with everybody. I'm learning a lot from Zac. He's helping me out. It's just going pretty well right now."
Just two days after the depth chart was released that named Alexander as the backup quarterback, he went down with a partially torn medial collateral ligament in his right knee during a routine scrimmage.
He's expected to return in a few weeks.
But knowing that there's not much behind him hasn't put more pressure on Wegner.
"Well, sure, there's pressure, but it comes with the job." Wegner said. "If I can't deal with it, I shouldn't do it."

Kenyan runner strides into athletics, academics

KU coaches recruited freshman via e-mail
By Dan Ferguson
Kansan sportswriter
Rajiv Nyambura, Nakuru, Kenya, freshman cross country runner, has traveled halfway around the world to study at the University of Kansas and run for the Jayhawks.
Nyambura, a native Kenyan, had never been to the United States before last week, but he said the opportunity to attend an American college was a dream come true.
What a long, strange trip it has been.
"As soon as I talked to coach, I began preparation to come here," Nyambura said Tuesday.
He began running at a very early age and never stopped.
"We have made running a tradition in Kenya," Nyambura said. "All children begin running very early."
Head cross country coach Gary Schwartz found out about Nyambura last year when Nyambura's brother sent e-mail from Kenya to the coaching staff. Former assistant coach Paul Danger received the first e-mail and despite Nyambura's lack of competitive experience, he began recruiting him via e-mail.
"We're very lucky to have that kind of technology because it makes everything so much easier," Schwartz said. "When you're recruiting somebody that far away, the communication process can get very interesting."
When telephone calls were necessary, Nyambura's brother had to walk three miles to get to a telephone.
Nyambura said many of his running friends had come to colleges in America before him. They have been successful because of coaching and training facilities in the United States.
Nyambura has two goals for the upcoming season. Goal No. 1 is to get a good education, and goal No. 2 is to improve his running as much as possible.
"It's kind of like killing two birds with

one stone." Nyambura said with a smile.
He said his new teammates and coaches had made the transition much easier.
"The coach is very experienced and makes you feel very good," Nyambura said. "There is good interaction and morale among the boys."
"I find that most international students have a dual purpose," Schwartz said. "They aren't used to having the

Schwartz said the thing that had impressed him most about Nyambura was his willingness to learn and his concentration on academics.
resources that most of us take for granted."
Although expectations are high for the men's team this year, Schwartz and Nyambura's teammates are trying not to put too much pressure on him. This season will be Nyambura's first as a competitive runner.
"He is obviously a very talented young man, but he is going through a big transition as far as training and everything else goes," Schwartz said. "Hopefully we can make that transition as smooth as possible."
Nyambura has not and will not set any specific running goals for the upcoming season. He said preparation and proper training were the formula for success.
"My results will depend on my preparation," Nyambura said. "The training is very demanding, and I expect the competition to be the same."
Schwartz said having somebody like Nyambura on the team would help the Javahawks.
"He can learn a lot from us, and we can learn a lot from him," Schwartz said.

OVERLAND PARK Kansas State running back Frank Murphy must sit out the first four games of the 1990 season as a penalty for accepting money from boosters to buy a car, university officials said yesterday.
After hearing K-State's appeal Tuesday on Murphy's eligibility, the NCAA Division I Subcommittee on Student-Athlete Reinstation ruled that Murphy's eligibility would be reinstated following the suspension.

SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES
K-State football player benched for taking gift
The university had sought a two-game suspension.
"The penalty was based on cases similar to this one," said Wallace Renfro, NCAA representative. "It was the appropriate restitution given the circumstances."
The problem arose after Murphy signed with the Wildcats from Garden City Community College last spring and a K-State booster was accused of helping furnish him with a car.

VENT: horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
University officials had declared Murphy ineligible after they discovered the situation and reported it to the NCAA. They contend that Murphy received the money from a friend and did not know that it had been collected from other people, including K-State boosters.
"I have come to understand that I made a serious error in judgment by accepting what is considered an unauthorized benefit," Murphy said in a statement released yesterday.
The university had required Murphy to return the car and to make a donation to a charity equal to the amount of money he had received.
The people who helped Murphy buy the car have been barred from further involvement with K-State athletics, officials said.
Also Tuesday, the school received a NCAA inquiry confirming the university's finding that no staff members were involved.

K-State will have the opportunity to respond in writing, Renfo said. The committee then will decide what penalty, if any, to impose on K-State.
Suspension leaves 49ers player's future uncertain
The Associated Press
The San Francisco 49ers suspended tackle Jamie Brown for three weeks, leaving his future with the team in doubt.
Brown had been limited by injuries and he had not practiced since July 25. Yesterday, he was suspended for conduct detrimental to the team.
Brown, who missed an exhibition game earlier in the preseason, didn't arrive for Sunday's exhibition game against Miami until 30 minutes after kickoff. He said he was stuck in traffic.
The suspension will cost Brown, who has been bothered by a strained hamstring and an abdominal pull, about $30,000.
Brown's agent, Gene Burrough, said he hoped his client is able to return to the 49ers.
Chiefs
Coach Marty Schottenheimer said Kansas City would not sign Lawrence Phillips, one day after he disclosed he had met with the troubled running back who has been released by the Rams and Dolphins in his short NFL career.
"We made a decision we're going to go in another direction," Schottenheimer said. "We evaluated the information available to us both through research as well as personal interviews."
The Chiefs released Billy Joe Tolliver, who apparently lost out to second-year man Pat Barnes in the battle to be No. 3 quarterback behind Elvis Grbac and Rich Gannon.
Bill Bates, one of the NFL's most revered special teams players, will
Cowboys
not play for Dallas this season.
The Cowboys decided not to activate the 15-year veteran.
"Nobody wanted this to be a token year for Bill. This was in the best interest of the team," owner Jerry Jones said.
Jaguars
Steve Matthews, who led Jacksonville to a team-record 40 points in his only NFL start, was one of 18 players waived. The team also put on injured reserve defensive tackle Don Davey, who has not fully recovered from arthroscopic surgery.
Packers
Green Bay released quarterback David Klingler, in his seventh season, offensive guard Doug Widell and defense end Paul Frase, both in their 10th seasons, and wide receiver Lee DaRamus, a third-year pro.
The Packers also placed offensive tackle John Michels and defensive tackle Dexter Nottage on injured reserve. Both have knee problems.
Dolphins
Miami made tackle Tim Bowens the highest-paid member of the team when he signed a contract that averages $5 million a year through 2002. However, the agreement, which includes a $4 million signing bonus, isn't guaranteed. If Bowens fails to become a Pro Bowl selection, Miami could release him before he collects on the most lucrative part of the contract.
Ronald Moore, a fourth-round draft pick in 1993, was one of 13 players waived. Moore ran for 1,018 yards and a franchise rookie-record nine touchdowns his first year and led the Cardinals in rushing the next year with 780 yards.
Cardinals
Steelers
Fullback Tim Lester, who has blocked for Jerome Bettis in both St. Louis and Pittsburgh, was placed on the physically unable to perform list. He continues to recover from shoulder surgery last spring. Until Lester is ready, which
at the earliest would be six weeks, former Penn State fullback Jon Witman will start alongside Bettis.
CHICAGO — Citing safety concerns, a national chain of nutrition-supplement centers ordered its 3,700 stores not to sell the muscle-enhancing pills that Mark McGwire uses, the Chicago Tribune reported yesterday.
After review, GNC pulls pills used by McGwire
In a memo obtained by the newspaper, General Nutrition Centers said its own review of scientific literature concluded that the use of androstemione without risk of adverse events couldn't be demonstrated."
"The decision was made on the lack of suitable short and long-term research demonstrating the safety of the product at various intake levels and concern about the potential impact of product abuse," the Chicago Tribune reported.
Other chains, however, do not share General Nutrition Centers' concerns. Great Earth Vitamin stores, a chain of 138 franchises in 23 states, sell it over-the-counter and by mail order.
McGwire confirmed last week that he has been using the testosterone-producing pill for more than a year.
Use of androstenedione supplements is legal in baseball but banned in the NFL, the Olympics and the NCAA.
Androstenedione is an adrenal hormone produced naturally in men and women. It is converted in the liver to testosterone, which is used in muscle production.
Though no definitive studies have shown any harmful side effects, skeptics said the supplements potentially could have dangerous side effects similar to those of other steroids, such as liver damage and cardiovascular problems.

Sosa draws closer to home run record
Sosa hit an arching solo homer off the top of an advertising panel in the third deck in left-center field of the Cubs game against the Cincinnati Reds. The drive was estimated at 438 feet.
CINCINNATI — Chicago's Sammy Sosa hit his 2nd homer today, leaving him one behind Mark McGwire as they close in on Rober Maris' single-season record of 61.
The third-inning homer off Brett Tomko — who had struck out Sosa all four times he had faced him — gave Sosa a streak of 13 consecutive series with a homer since a two-game set against Montreal on July 22-23.
It was Sosa's 23rd homer on the road, matching the club's single-season record shared by Hack Wilson (1930), Ernie Banks (1960) and Dave Kingman (1979). His 29 homers at Wrigley Field rank third in club history, trailing Wilson (23 in 1930) and Banks (30 in 1959).
Most of the crowd stood and cheered when Sosa broke his 0-for-career streak against Tomko, a second-year pitcher who has challenged both McGwire and Sosa with fastballs in their limited matchups.
Tomko struck Sosa out in the first inning, throwing a pair of fastballs by him. Sosa took a ball in his second at-bat, then had a huge swing-and-miss that prompted him to back out of the box, shake his head, adjust his batting gloves and clear his mind.
He homered on the next pitch.

More things change,more they remain just the same
Things never change.
Barely a week into school, and I've already added and dropped more classes than an NFL team does players in the preseason
Me, and what seems like 3 million other students, have stood in line after mind numbing line in the east wing of Strong Hall (which, if you haven't been in it, feels like a blend between the Louisiana Bayou and Hades — only a tad hotter and a bit stickier) hoping to master the tricknology of the enrollment center.
Every semester, I think it's going to be different. I have these grand delusions that I will love every class, get my books early and then, with ample time to spare, sit back and laugh while everyone else scrambles for dean stamps and closed-class openers. Of course, it never happens.
Things never change.
But, sometimes the status quo can be a good thing. It gives you a sense of stability. You know there are things you can always count on. Things that are.

Or my weekly columns providing the campus
with both insightful and intelligent sports
opinion (OK, so maybe that's stretching it)
opinion) so maybe you need a little polish in order to remain interesting. And that folks, is the theme for this years columns: More of the same, only better — kind of like New Coke.
What do I mean, you ask?
I have spent arduous hours identifying the best and most popular items from my columns last year. Once I had several things in mind, I worked on how I could make them better. So, with no further ado, I give you the three items that you can count on reading about again this semester...
1) College football, college football,
college football
It's the best sport in the world. Hands down. Nothing can top college football when it comes to excitement, tradition, atmosphere and pageantry. I'm the kind of college football junkie that you find waiting outside Borders June 13 so I can pick up the summer's first college football preview magazine. Sick. I know.
2) More fearless predictions
Each week, I plan on ending my column with some sort of sports world prediction. If you remember, last year I made such winning choices as predicting Oklahoma to beat Northwestern and Kansas, Charles Woodson to finish out of the Heisman running and Michigan to stumble to another year of gridiron mediocrity.
Heed my sage advice.
3) The Sooners
You've sent hate mail. You've called me a traitor. You've questioned my heart. Heck, a couple of people questioned my mind. But through it all, I know, deep down inside, you all secretly love to hear about Oklahoma football.
You know things never change.
Not even the hat.

Sharp shooting hitters dazzle fans
Position ends plays,finds defense holes
By Laura Bokenkroger Kansan sportswriter
It's the crowd's favorite part of the game. It initiates an eruption of euphoric cheer throughout the stands. It's what they remember.
In volleyball, the hitters are the play-finishers. Their job is to win a volley or try to make it hard for the other team to return the ball.
When a volleyball team scores, it gets the adrenaline flowing, not just in the players, but also in the fans. It is often the most memorable part of a game, especially when a score finishes an exciting series, gives the home team the lead or adds to the charge of a comeback.
"Hitters are probably the most well-known because they are the last part of the play," said Mary Beth Albrecht, outside hitter. "It's our job to end the play."
There are usually three hitters in the front row: one on the left side, one in the middle and one on the right side. When the setter rotates to the the front row, she fills the right-side position and joins the other two hitters to complete the front line.
The hitters must be able to spot holes in the defense and in the blocks. Their teammates, who cover behind them in case their shot is blocked, communicate with them, calling out angles that are open.
Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard said hitters had a lot to think about. Before any offense can be initiated, the outside hitters are responsible for giving the setter a good pass.
Bechard said that the hitters must be resilient and prepared to attack immediately
Sometimes when the pass is off target or there is a communication problem, the hitters have to adjust in the middle of a play.
after passing the ball to the setter.
"Outside hitters have to be creative because they get a lot of the junky stuff when we get out of sink," Bechard said. "When we're not in system, we won't run a high-risk offense."
Beachard said being in-system required a good pass that left the setter's options open and doesn't take any of the hitters out of the play.
"Ball control is an important skill in a hitter," said Bechard. "They have defensive responsibilities and serve receive responsibilities that initiate a play."
In recruiting a hitter, Bechard said height was an initial factor. The higher an athlete can contact the ball above the net, the better. However, a hitter has many responsibilities and must be a well-rounded athlete.

Beachard said that the middle hitters must have strength and endurance to compete at such a demanding position. They must pursue every block opportunity and they are constantly running from side to side. Middle hitters are typically taller and more physical, but their foot speed and their heart are equally important.
"The difference between a good team and a great team can be a couple of inches," Beachard said. "But I think physicalness and hand-eye coordination are just as important."
"Middle hitters are emotional," Bechard said. "They don't give up easily."
Determination and focus are also necessary qualities in a hitter.
"The hitters are supposed to end the play," said middle hitter Amanda Reves. "I think they have to keep a stable frame of mind. If you get blocked, you can't let it get to

you."
Reves said that offense was exciting and that overpowering a team was a thrill that
couldn't be described.
"Volleyball is such a controlled sport, so when you hit the ball hard and the other
team cann't return it or when you block a ball and it goes down hard, it's a great feeling," Reves said.
Assistant bringing her game to new level
Women's basketball receives successful high school coach
By Sam Mellinger Kansan sportswriter
Deb Newkirk is the new restricted earnings coach for the University of Kansas women's basketball team, but the University is not new to her.
As a high school coach, Newkirk worked at KU head coach Marian Washington's summer basketball camps for many years.
Washington said that Newkirk's enthusiasm and ability to motivate the campers was greater than most of her peers at the high school level.
Newkirk has coached high school basketball and volleyball for the last 12 years, most recently for four years at
Thomas Jefferson Independent Day School in Joplin, Mo.
"Through my high school career, I'd been encouraged

the longest time."

When she looked at Newkirk, Washington saw a college coach at the high school level.

Newkirk couldn't wait to apply.
"I've had a strong admiration and respect for the program," Newkirk said. "I'm a longtime fan. When coach Washington specifically approached me, I stepped back and looked at my career."

campus for years. Newkirk was comfortable with the people involved in the program.
"It's been a very gradual change for me on a personal level," she said.
Newkirk's arrival also has meant a gradual change for players like Casey Pruitt with whom Newkirk has worked during the summer camps.
"I've had a lot of respect for her since she walked through
the door," the Pruitt said. "She's always excited and always in a good mood, and that rubs off on everyone."
Liveliness is something Washington said Newkirk would bring to the team.
"She'll do a good job helping the student-athletes when they need to be picked up," Washington said. "She can make things fun, try to find the positives in something."

Florida takes on first baseman as team leader
26-year-old goes back to school as quarterback
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The way coach Bobby Bowden figures it, anyone who stood in the batter's box against Roger Clemens is tough enough to stand in the pocket and throw footballs for Florida State.
On Monday night, that's exactly what will happen.
Chris Weinke, who spent four days at Florida State in 1990 before leaving to play pro baseball, is back in school and set to lead the No. 2 Seminoles against No. 14 Texas A&M in the Kickoff Classic at Giants Stadium.
"This is something I've been waiting eight years for," said the 26-year-old Weinke, who inherited the
starting role when Dan Kendra was lost for the season with a knee injury.
"Physically, I don't feel that much older. It's not like I've been playing football the last seven years and taking hits every day and my body's broken down. The biggest thing is to be able to execute on the field and make decisions."
Bowden usually grooms his quarterbacks for three years before putting them at the controls of his high-powered offense. But he didn't have that luxury this time, although he doesn't seem too concerned about making a run for the national title with a former minor-league first baseman.
"I never felt so good about a sophomore quarterback," Bowden said. "He's had two springs and a fall practice under his belt, and he's 26 instead of 19. So I feel good about that. Even though he never got in the big leagues, he has stood in the box against them guys who can throw that fastball. Dadgum it, if he can do that, there's no reason
he can't sit in the pocket."
During spring practice, Weinke took as many hits as Kendra, and kept coming back for more. Weinke said that he was nervous and "a bit rusty" last spring but that a year of watching film, lifting weights and working with his receivers all summer had boosted his confidence.
"This spring, I just wanted to fine tune my skills," said Weinke, who makes his first start game in a high school playoff game in 1989. "I knew I was in a situation where I was competing for a job, and I wanted to put myself in position where if they called on me, I'd be able to do the job."
Being the old man on campus was a big change for Weinke, who turned from follower into leader.
"I was the youngest guy on the Triple A team for two years." Weinke said. "I was kind of the quiet guy who stood in the back and tried to learn from the veterans. When I came here, the roles were reversed, and I needed to be an example, take a leadership role on
"This is something I have been waiting eight years for."
Chris Weinke
the team. I showed them I was willing to work, and now I think we're comfortable with each other."
Florida State starting quarterback
And the coaches are comfortable with Weinke, especially when it's critique time.
So why'd Weinke have to do this, anyway?
"You forget a lot of the hoorah stuff with him," Bowden said. "You better tell it like it is ... tell him what he's got to do and how to do it. You wish all your players were like that — 26 and hungry. I mean, gee whiz, you'd make so many fewer mistakes and have so many fewer asking 'Why'd I have to do this?'
After six years in the Toronto Blue Jay's minor league organization. Weinke hit a roadblock in Triple A. The Blue Jays, who gave him a $375,000 signing bonus in 1990, wanted to move him from first base to catcher a year after relegating him from everyday player to pinch hitter.
"That's when I thought about wanting to play college football again," said Weinke, who invested his baseball earnings wisely and says he's financially secure. "They didn't want to trade me, but they didn't want to do anything with me."
So he quietly explored his options with his former high school coach at Cretin-Derham in St. Paul, Minn. The coach sent out feelers to see if any schools were interested. Arizona was. So was Minnesota, South Carolina, Washington and Wisconsin. But when Weinke left Florida State in 1990, Bowden told him he'd save a scholarship.
A trip to town for a couple of games at the end of the 1996 season, including FSU' s 24-21 defeat of Florida that set up a rematch in the
Sugar Bowl for the national title, was all the convincing he needed. He met with offensive coordinator Mark Richt a day later.
"I couldn't leave this place after a game like that," Weinke said.
Weinie still wonders what course his career might have taken if he hadn't chose baseball.
"Usually, they come back after two years," Bowden said. "But he waits six, and once I found out he as sincere i said 'Let's take him.'"
"In those four days, I got a taste of it and then really left a fan," he said. "I enjoyed watching them play. Obviously, they won the national championship in 1993, and I felt like I could have been part of that team. I felt like I could have probably been the quarterback, but we don't know.
"Charlie (Ward) won the Heisman and did a great job with this team, but I was in a position to compete against him and who knows what would have happened. Now, maybe both of us will get that national championship."
Bishop, Jones lead talented new class of quarterbacks
By Brandon Krisztal
Kansan sportswriter
The quarterback, arguably the most visible position in sports, has not always been the strongest position in the Big 12 Conference, but this year should be different.
Last year all of the quarterback hype was aimed at Ryan Leaf and Peyton Manning, but this year most of the attention should be focused right along Interstate 70.

Bishop, who heads into his second season at Kansas State after transferring from junior college, leads the Wildcats in their pursuit of the nation al championship.

Michael Bishop Kansas State
Last season, Bishop set the Kansas State single season quarterback rushing mark with 566 yards on 147 carries and nine touchdowns. He completed 80 of 158 passes for 1,557 yards and 13 touchdowns.
Bishop's final game last season may have set the tone for his 1998 Heisman campaign. He threw for 317 yards and four scores last January in the Wildcats' 35-19 Flesta Bowl win against Syracuse. Wildcats fans and Kansas State head coach Bill Snyder hope that Bishop maintains that high-level of productivity this season.
"Michael Bishop is an extremely competitive young guy," Snyder said. "He wants to win, and he wants to do the things that he has to do in order to prepare himself
to win. He wants to be the best player that he can conceivably be."

Coach rebuilds shallow team after 4-7 record
The Associated Press
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — He tried to ignore it, to set it aside the way Bear Bryant would have.
But the boos that cascaded out of Bryant-Denny Stadium, the humbling losses to Kentucky and Louisiana Tech, the long December that included recruiting trips instead of bowl practices made that impossible.
And finally, after a season of suffering and soul searching, Alabama coach Mike DuBose had to admit it — the Crimson Tide has found itself in the middle of an honest-to-goodness rebuilding project.
Not the kind of rebuilding Bryant would have overseen when his empire was at its peak -- tinker with the offense here, recruit a few more tail-
"A lot of negative things were written and a lot of negative things were said for good reason," DuBose said of last year's 4-7 season, Alabama's worst since 1957. "This year, it's critical that we stay positive. And it has got to start with me."
vacks there. Those were easy compared to this.
This is, by Alabama standards, like starting anew.
But maybe DuBose got into this situation because he was too positive in his first season last year, when 4-7 records were troubles they worried about at places like Mississippi and Maryland, not at Alabama.
Instead, the coach merely hinted at the problems. Everyone knew about the probation-related scholarship reductions. Former coach Gene Stallings never had used them as an excuse, had he?
But the thin recruiting classes of the Stallings regime had turned into the upper-classmen of the DuBose tenure — and there weren't an awful
"A lot of negative things were written and a lot of negative things were said for a good reason. This year, it's critical that we stay positive. And it has got to start with me."
Mike DuBose
lot of them.
Alabama head football coach
Before the season, DuBose recognized that and predicted that the team would need big contributions from as many as 15 newcomers. But he didn't fully explain what that could mean to a program.
It took three painful months for everyone to find out.
"It was hard," tailback Shaun Alexander said. "We've done everything we can in the off season to change things. This is not a team, or a program, that takes 4-7 very easily."
DuBose fired three of Stallings' holdover assistants and one of his own, replacing them with coaches he thought he could trust.
At offensive coordinator is DuBose's former college roommate, Neil Callaway. Callaway will work with new quarterbacks coach Charlie Stubbs, who came from Nevada-Las Vegas to install a passing offense like the one DuBose promised but never delivered last year.
"It was a mistake not to stay committed to it last year," DuBose said. "But we've got to be committed to something. And if we're going to recruit the guys who want to catch the football, the offensive linemen who want to go to the NFL, we've got to make the commitment to an offense that fits those talents."
The first piece of that puzzle
was landing Birmingham-area quarterback Tyler Watts, one of the country's top recruits
Some other pieces — such as freshmen wide receiver Freddie Milons and offensive tackle Bart Raulston — are there as well.
DuBose's new recruiting chief, Ronnie Cottrell, also will play a key role. Cottrell came to Alabama after working as Bobby Bowden's recruiting coordinator at Florida State for eight years. He'll be in charge of assembling the 1999 class, the one DuBose calls the most important in the history of the school.
"Our plan may not make us better right now," DuBose said. "But it will make us better in seven or eight weeks — or in a year, two years or three years down the road."
He probably won't get much more time than that. As a Bryant-coached alumnus, DuBose knows as well as anyone — patience at Alabama is almost as foreign as rebuilding.
NBA talks delay could push back season
The Associated Press
NEW YORK - It doesn't look like NBA owners and players will be back at the bargaining table until late September or early October. By then, it might be too late to start the season on schedule.
The lockout-related schedule for the rest of the summer got thrown out of whack yesterday when arbitrator John Feerick scheduled three more days of hearings on the union's guaranteed contracts grievance.
There will be a nine-day adjournment until the hearing resumes Sept. 3, 4 and 8, and each side may take a week after that to submit post-hearing briefs. Feerick then will have 30 days to render his decision.
Because both sides say they don't expect to begin talking again until Feerick's verdict is in, they will lose a large chunk of time that could have been used to work out a new collective bargaining agreement and possibly start the season on time Nov. 4.
Training camps are scheduled to open Oct. 6.
NBA
"Our position hasn't changed. We want to litigate and resolve this issue as soon
as possible on behalf of our players. We're looking forward to resuming the hearing." union director Billy Hunter said.
No high-ranking league officials were willing to comment yesterday.
The league said Sept. 3 was the next mutually agreeable date for the owners, players and arbitrator, but the union claimed commissioner David Stern's vacation plans and the start of the semester at Fordham University, where Feerick is a law school dean, necessitated the long break.
The hearing was expected to last only two days, but having a longer-than-expected fight before Feerick is nothing new for Stern, deputy commissioner Russ Granik, Hunter and their lawyers. When Feerick held the Latrell Sprewell hearing last February, it was supposed to go four days but lasted nine.
Union lawyer Ron Klempner was the only witness on the second day, and lawyers for each side also spent time arguing the admissibility of certain documents—including a contract containing unique lockout language signed by Sacramento Kings center Olden Polynice in 1994.
The hearing concerns the

union's claim that owners should be liable to pay some $800 million worth of salaries due to 220 players who have guaranteed contracts for the upcoming season.
Lawyers for the league contend employees never get paid during lockouts.
The union says NBA owners should have protected themselves, as baseball owners do, with contract language making specific mention that players would not be paid during a lockout.

Gators to take field as SEC favorites again
Florida remains team to beat in conference
The Associated Press
BIRMINGHAM, Ala — Wrestling the title away from Florida was one thing. Eliminating the swagger could prove more difficult.
A season after failing to win the Southeastern Conference for the first time since 1992, the Gators hardly seem like a team on a downside. Rather, they're confident — what's new? — and excited about entering the season with a strong defense in a league full of unproven quarterbacks.
They relish their role as favorites. They were ranked third in The Associated Press preseason poll and are the clear choice to climb back to the top of what is considered by many to be the country's toughest conference.
"I like that," said Florida coach Steve Spurrier, who was seemingly unfazed by Florida's failure to defend the 1996 national and conference titles last year. "We want our players to know we're supposed to win it. We don't want them to feel
like it's a fluke if we do win it."
Florida finished 9-2 and continued its mastery against Tennessee last season by beating the Volunteers for the fifth straight time. But the Gators slipped against LSU and Georgia, which cost them the SEC East and a chance to match Alabama's record of five consecutive league championships.
Georgia, Tennessee and LSU should again be Florida's main threats, but all have noticeable weaknesses; Tennessee comes in without Peyton Manning, Georgia went into camp mired in a five-man battle of inexperienced quarterbacks and LSU has a strong nucleus but no recent history of stringing together important wins.
Still, the preseason hype has surrounded the defense.
Defensive lineman Ed Chester is a strong All-American candidate, and are linebackers Johnny Rutledge and Jevon Kearse. Kearse, known as "The Freak" by his teammates, is 6-foot-5, 255 pounds and runs the
"It's still Florida, Florida, Florida wherever you go," said defensive lineman Charles Dorsey of Auburn, which won the SEC West last season. "Spurrier brings his reputation wherever he goes. Even when the offense isn't great, you have to believe they can put up 60 points at any time."
"It's still Florida, Florida, Florida wherever you go. Spurrier brings his reputation wherever he goes. Even when the offense isn't great, you have to believe they can put up 60 points at any time."

40 in 4.5 seconds.
On offence, Spurrier eventually will decide between sophomore Jesse Palmer and junior Doug Johnson at quarterback. Johnson is coming off shoulder surgery after overthrowing in football and his second career, minor league baseball, and won't be available for Florida's Sept. 5 opener against The Citadel.
He threw for 2,023 yards and 21 touchdowns last year before finding his way into Spurrier's doghouse. Many people predict the unsettled quarterback situation is a sign that Spurrier will have to water down the offense, but the coach hasn't committed to that yet.
"I don't know what we'll do," he said. "If you hit a whole bunch of passes early, you keep pitching. If you can't hit anything, then you slow down and try something different. It's really not that complicated."
Georgia's Jim Donnan may not enjoy that flexibility. Heading into camp, he was trying to decide between junior Jon England (five career passes), sophomore Mike Usry (seven) and freshmen Nate Hybl and Quincy Carter to replace Mike Bobo.
Otherwise, Donnan's got a solid core — including receiver-defensive back Champ Bailey — returning from a team that won 10 games last season and snapped a seven-year losing streak against the Gators.
"We do have a good defense, we have a good offensive line," said Donnan, who enters his third year at Georgia. "For the first time since I've been there, we're going to line up against a lot of teams and say, 'Hey, we're going to run the ball, you've got to stop us.'"
Tennessee figures to do the same, basing more of its offense around 1,364-yard rusher Jamal Lewis than
quarterback Tee Martin, who spent the last two years watching Manning play.
This could be the farewell for quarterback Tim Couch at Kentucky if the junior picks up from where he left off last season. He looked like a sure bet for the NFL under coach Hal Mumme's new offense last season, throwing for 3,884 yards and 37 touchdowns.
South Carolina coach Brad Scott will fight for his job this year after going 22-22-1 in his first four seasons. Vanderbilt led the conference in defense last season but failed to win an SEC game.
In the West, LSU appears to be the favorite. Senior quarterback Herb Tyler will run a ground-based offense centered on tailbacks Kevin Faulk (1,144 yards in 1997) and Rondell Mealey (664 vards).
The Tigers finished 9-3 last year. They lost to Auburn and Mississippi and finished second for the second straight season. This looks like LSU's turn to break through, but coach Gerry DiNardo refuses to put that pressure on his team.
"I don't ever want to think we're so fragile that one thing is going to make that big a statement about our program," DINardo said.
Auburn won 10 last year and came within a point of taking the SEC title but lost quarterback
Dameyune Craig to graduation, linebacker Takeo Spikes to the NFL, receiver Robert Baker to a drug conviction and — most recently — two starting offensive linemen who left for personal reasons.
Mississippi State's Jackie Sherrill has built his usual assortment of stout linenen and put the defense in the hands of innovative coordinator Joe Lee Dunn. As always, the Bulldogs could be a threat but must remain healthy because the team lacks depth.
Mississippi made its first bowl game since 1992 last year in what coach Tommy Tuberville called a "miracle season." Sophomore quarterback Romaro Miller will be asked to replace the offensive explosiveness that departed tailback John Avery provided last year.
Alabama coach Mike DuBose apparently feels untested senior quarterback John David Phillips will give the Crimson Tide a better chance to win this season than top recruit Tyler Watts.
Arkansas is the only SEC team with a new coach. Houston Nutt takes over for Danny Ford after the Razorbacks followed their 1995 SEC West title with consecutive 2-6 conference records.
Notre Dame begins to recover from troubled season
The Associated Press
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — If the absence of aggravation marks a good day, second-year Notre Dame coach Bob Davie is finally on a roll.
He's back to coaching instead of cringing, teaching instead of testifying, confident that he and his team are about to put a tumultuous couple of months behind them. Davie would have found filling Lou Holtz's shoes tough enough. But to put it kindly, he found himself embroiled in the kind of off-season you'd expect Barry Switzer to have if he somehow wound up in charge of the Fighting Irish.
Coming off a 7-6 rookie season, Davie landed squarely in the middle of an age-discrimination law.
suit filed by an assistant whose firing had been one of his first coaching moves. That came only a few months after the university learned that a secretary for a local company who had a child by one former player was using some of the $1 million she embezzled from her employer to lavish gifts on a handful of players. Throw in reports of peeping-Tom players and screaming coaches, and it's not hard to understand why one emboldened headline writer renamed the school "Notre Shame."
"I had the opportunity to be here for three years as an assistant, so I had a taste of the kind of pressure this place can generate," Davie said Tuesday by phone. "Then again, I don't know that anything could have prepared anyone for
what hapened here the last few months." Th e scandal touched off by secretary Kim Dunbar's gifts of jewelry, sports tickets and trips for some current and former players is still open on three fronts. There is the criminal case being brought by the St. Joseph County prosecutor, a civil case brought by Dunbar's former employer and an ongoing NCAA investigation that could bring more grief than the first two combined.
N
But Davie did receive good news Monday when the NCAA cleared five players who had gone to a
Chicago Bulls game with Dunbar of any wrongdoing and declared them eligible for the upcoming season. With defending national champion Michigan first up on Notre Dame's schedule, the announcement had plenty of practical value. But it might have been even more important as a contribution to Davie's sense of momentum.
Two weeks ago, his first recruiting class arrived on campus.
"After all the agravation, it reminded me what I liked most about coaching," Davie said. "All these freshmen showing up on campus with their parents for the first time, discovering the things that make this place special — that made it easy to see how bright the future will be at Notre Dame."
Two days after that, the varsity
followed, reminding him that the past hadn't been all aggravation, either. Included among the returning players was senior captain Mike Rosenthal, who turned up in court as a witness against Davie and the school in a lawsuit brought by former line coach Joe Moore.
Rosenthal's deposition wasn't the only shock the trial offered. Among other things, testimony revealed dissension among the staff during Holtz's reign and several incidents of coaches roughing up players. There was even one instance of Moore making some players do calisthenics in a parking lot at 1 a.m. after catching them peering into the window of a hotel during a road trip to Dublin, Ireland.
was 64 at the time of his firing,
$86,000 in back pay and damages. It
took Davie considerably less time to
realize it wasn't going to cost
him his team. Because for all the
ways that Notre Dame was special,
it reacted to trouble the same ways
all teams do — by pulling together.
A federal court jury needed less than a week to award Moore, who
"This place prides itself on being unique. But the one thing all of us had to realize," Davie said, "is that what happened was not unique to Notre Dame."
Asked what he planned to say to his team before the Michigan game, Davie paused.
"I don't think I'll have to spend much time motivating them. I'll tell them that beginning now, we control what's going to happen," he said. "After what we went through, that should be all the motivation they'll need."

Dow drop hits local investors
By Melissa Ngo Kansan wire editor
The Dow's 357-point fall yesterday hurt more than just Wall Street firms. It also affected University of Kansas students.
"Most people saw it coming because the Dow's been high for a really long time, but it's kind of frightening. A lot of people are losing money, and if a lot of people get scared and sell out their stocks that would make it worse," said Susan Dunavan, Charlottesville, Vir, sophomore.
This is the market's third-largest point drop for one season, behind last October's 554-point loss and the 508-point loss of Black Monday on Oct.19, 1987. The Dow is 1,171 points below its July 17 record of 9,338.
The market's volatility has also affected agricultural prices, including the price of wheat, a main crop of Kansas.
Wheat is selling for $2.69 a bushel, down 35% from its high last year of $4.10 a bushel.
Parsons junior Phil Johnson's parents have farmed since 1956. They grow wheat, soybean and milo.
Johnson said that because Russia and countries in Asia have cut the amount of wheat they've been importing, the price of wheat has gone down.
"The stock market volatility will keep the price there if not pull it down further," Johnson said. "Right now, because Russia, an enormous importer of Kansas wheat, is not importing, the wheat's sitting in our ports and no one's making any money."
Paul Daniier, associate professor of political science, who teaches international politics and international political economy, said the loss would affect the nation, including manufacturers and consumers.
Danieri said he thought confidence was at the root of the market's problems.
Mark Hirschey, professor of finance and Stockton Research Fellow in the School of Business, said he wasn't worried about the drop.
"There have been an increase in reports in the U.S. media over the past few weeks that more and more people believe that the boom is going to slow down," he said. "Both corporate profits and consumer confidence have slowed a bit and the stock market is very affected by confidence."
"It's been almost nine years since there's been a major correction, which is anything from a 10 to 15 percent drop," Hirschey said. "My guess is that we're mostly through with corrections. We've already gone down 12.5 percent and the economy is basically sound. You have to remember that this volatility is on top of a huge upswing for the market. In April 1997 the Dow was at 6,000."
Hirschey said that if there were impeachment hearings or a further deterioration of the Russian or Asian markets, the problem could get worse.
At least one KU student is not worried about the market's drop.
"I've got money in technology stocks," said Steve Davis, Overland Park junior, who has invested since middle school. "I think they'll rebound. They always go up and down, so I'm not too worried."

Topeka target of Nintendo Invasion
By Augustus Anthony Plazza
Kansas staff writer
TOPEKA - Twenty members of the KU marching band dodged a swarm of sweaty, over-enthusiastic children yesterday while playing at the U. S. debut of Pokemon.
"It's just for today," Mayor Joan Wagnon said. "It's one of the fun things mayors get to do."
The marching band played at Forbes Field to entertain both the children and adults who attended the Pokémon invasion.
Pokémon is a cartoon phenomenon that started in Japan as a best-selling Nintendo video game and evolved into a line of toys, comic books, CDs and a movie — all of which will soon be appearing in the United States.
The band was contacted by Rob Wheat, a KU Alumni who works for Nintendo, to play a t
"It's fun for us to get out of class," said Devin Burr, Ellinwood sophomore and band member.
Topeka was chosen from among several different cities to play host to the event because of its central location and because the mayor was willing to change the name of the city for a day to "Toolkachu."

Shortage of Coke leaving students thirsting for more
Campus Coca-Cola machines have been drained by the surge of students and faculty returning to campus for the fall semester, said David Ambler, vice chancellor of student affairs.
Complaints about the lack of Coke are increasing, said Theresa Klinkenberg, associate university director of administration. Klinkenberg said the administration had been working with the Coca-Cola company, which has an exclusive contract with the University, to find a quick solution to the cola drought.
"The Coke company doesn't want empty machines just as much as we don't." she said.
Students who encounter vending machines that are out of Coke have been forced to pay $ 0.85 for 20 ounces of soda they don't really want or wander across campus in hopes of finding a vending machine with Coke.
When her caffeine urge strikes, Allison Bernard, Overland Park senior, has to walk from Blake Hall to the Union to get a Coke.
"I end up being late to class," she said.
"I need my Coke so I don't fall asleep."
Ambler attributes the empty vending machines in Strong Hall to construction that is impeding movement through the
hallways. He said that it was difficult to maintain the machines and that vendors had not accounted for the change in consumption of soda from the summer to fall semesters.
"We can't blame the Coke company," Ambler said. "It's tough to predict usage levels and University factors are contributing to the problem."
Kunkenberg said Coke was reviewing its operations and planned to add additional vendors to its routes. She said students should call 864-COKE and file their complaints directly.
Investigation of plaque continues at Templin
— Nadia Mustafa
The KU Public Safety Office is still looking for a plaque honoring former KU Professor Miles Sterling, which vandals stole from the second floor of Templin Residence Hall sometime before 9 p.m. Aug.18
"The plaque is something we're proud of," said Eric Grosspitch, complex director. "It's something we want to see back in our possession, but at the same time, we don't want to see someone get in trouble for something like this."
Grospitch noticed the plaque, worth $250, was missing while meeting with residents of each floor.
Grospitch said he suspected the thief stole the plaque as a joke, so he offered a grace period to return the plaque. He put fliers in residents' mailboxes, promising the University would not file a police report if the culprit returned the plaque by Aug. 20.
The plaque never was returned, so Groswitch reported the theft to the police
Staff members removed similar plaques from Templin's other five floors after the incident. They will be rehung on sturdier safety hangers to prevent future theft, Grospitch said.
Sterling taught Greek and Latin classes and was the first professor to have taught at the University for 50 years. He wrote the first history book
about the University, which was published on the University's 25th anniversary. Sterling was known as the "KU historian." He died in 1943.

Museum evacuation result of smoke detector error
Humidity caused a smoke-detector malfunction yesterday morning in the Natural History Museum, forcing an evacuation of the building.
The 10:30 a.m. false alarm was the second such malfunction within the year that happened in the four-story, 1995 addition to the west side of Dyche Hall, said Kemp, assistant director of public affairs for the museum.
"High humidity levels in that wing, which the fire alarm system interpreted as smoke, caused the alarm to go off." Kemp said.
Kemp said that the temperature and humidity levels in that wing were kept regulated to help preserve the collection that is kept there.
The wing is used mostly to store and prepare the museum's herpetological and ichthyological collections, Kemp said.
The 50,000 jars of fish, reptiles, amphibians and a few birds that make up the collections are stored in ethanol and require a constant temperature of 65 degrees to lower the flash point of the alcohol, said John Simmons, senior specialist at the museum.
The museum also has to keep the alcohol content of the air down to minimize the risk of an explosion.
"Unlike most other buildings on campus, the new wing was built not to recirculate the air," he said.
Instead, the museum pumps in 100 percent fresh air, which is cooled to 65 degrees and pumped back out.
"Because of that, the air gets real humid," Slimmons said.

Regents may increase faculty salary
By Jason Poarco Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas pays its faculty members less than most Big 12 schools, which has caused them to seek better paying jobs elsewhere, said Chancellor Robert Hemenway.
The average salary for University of Kansas faculty currently stands at $55,818, which ranks 9th in the Big 12 Conference. Other institutions of higher learning comparable in size to the University of Kansas average more than $70,000 a year.
"Almost everybody who leaves us does it for more money," Hemenway said. "If we are going to maintain our best people, we have to make sure they are paid enough to stay here."
To prevent more faculty from leaving, the Board of Regents will request that the Legislature pass a 3-year plan that would bring salaries up to a comparable level with other universities across the
nation, said Barb Conant, director of communications for the board. But faculty would not see any increases until 2000.
The board, which governs the six public universities in the state, will submit the request in September for a 7.6 percent salary increase during three consecutive years.
The increase includes two components — a 3.6 percent increase aimed at matching yearly increases of peer institutions and a 4-percent increase that would close the gap in salaries after three years.
"We feel over a three-year period this would get us on the same level with our peers," said Tom Bryant, Regents interim executive director. "The point that really concerns us is that our investment in state faculty is eroding and has reached a point that is somewhat scary."
Conant said that salaries at Regents' schools were 11 percent to 12 percent behind peer institutions.
Peer institutions have similar student and faculty sizes with comparable programs of study. The University of Kansas' peer institutions include the University of Colorado, University of Iowa and University of North Carolina.
Conant said the Regents had seen an increase in the number of faculty members who have resigned recently from state universities.
"If this erosion continues, Kansas universities will have a lack of our excellent teachers in the state," she said. "The higher salaries would help to retain the good employees so they are not tempted to leave."
The lower wages also hurt recruitment efforts to hire new faculty at the Regents schools, Conant said.
William Comer, assistant professor of Slavic languages and literatures, also thought higher wages would help to keep current faculty in place and to attract new faculty to the University.

"If KU can raise salaries, it would make the University more attractive as a place to work. Comer said.
He said that most professors weighed multiple factors when choosing a university but that money did help hire and keep good faculty.
"If the University, the Board of Regents, and the Legislature can make it clear that these salary increases are forthcoming, maybe it will help people to make the decision to stay at KU," Comer said.
Business students charged with misconduct
By Carolyn Mollott Kansan staff writer
Janet Lindsay received two items in the mail from the University of Kansas on the same day this summer: her grades and a letter accusing her of academic misconduct.
one was shocked by both. Lindsay had expected a C in Business 241: Managerial Accounting I. Instead she received an F.
"I was completely and totally upset. You go from expecting a decent grade in a class to totally failing it, and it's shocking," said Lindsay, Larury junior.
The letter said many Business 241 students submitted term projects that were exact copies of, or bore significant resemblance to, the work of another student.
Sandi Williams, assistant dean in the School of Business, said she thought more than 100 of the more than 400 students in the course received the letter.
Lindsay appealed the charge this summer, but students have until
This week, Lindsay met with Williams, whose role is to assist students in the appeals process. Williams told Lindsay that the process had begun and that Lindsay would be informed soon of her hearing date. The Business School Honor Court will hear Lindsay's appeal.
The Honor Court is composed of five business school students; two undergraduate, two graduate and one doctorate candidate. A faculty member facilitates the hearings but does not vote.
Tom Sarowski, dean of the School of Business, said he hoped students didn't think they were already considered guilty.
"I hope that after everything is said and done that people will feel the due process was performed," Sarowski said.
the letter Lindsay received explained that she had received a zero on her term project. After her grade was figured with a zero on the term project, it was dropped
one letter grade for academic misconduct. The letter said the result was a drop of two letter grades for most students.
"I spent probably 40 hours working on it total." Lindsay said.
She said she spent at least half that time working alone.
The course syllabus said: "While it is acceptable for you to discuss your work with a friend, the work you turn in must be your own. In most cases, it should not bear significant resemblance to someone else's work."
Lindsay said that she did the work on her own but that she and a friend worked together to put the data into the computer. She said she didn't think that was cheating.
Lindsay and her friend came out with the same answers. But, Lindsay said, the correct answers to the project were posted for the whole class to see on the first floor of Summerfield Hall.
Frank Schaffer, Joplin, Mo., junior, also received the letter. He also said he did not cheat. Schaffer has appealed the charge.

timetable of classes.
He said he went through each phase of the project with other members of his fraternity who were in the class.
Schaffer said the instructors told the class it would be helpful to know other students in the class.
"They had actually stated that it was a long project, and if we worked together it wouldn't be a problem," Schaffer said. "I didn't think it would be a big issue."
The letter Lindsay and Schaffer received was signed by Beverley Wilson, the former assistant professor of business who taught the course. Wilson, who retired after the spring 1998 semester, did not return phone calls from the Kansan.

Drivers need to plan for parking; pedestrians have the right of way
Few things are more annoying than an impatient person with a car. But then again, there are always those kind of people driving around the University of Kansas.
Driving on campus can be a hassle. Drivers have to watch out for bikers, walkers, buses, stop signs, dogs and other cars. Trying to park can be even worse. Often, students spend too much time driving around looking for a spot.
But these are the realities of driving on campus, and people should be ready for those problems.
Don't speed down Jayhawk Boulevard like a race-car driver. It endangers the lives of students walking on campus, especially at night.
Students who want to speed should avoid campus altogether and find other

ways to get the their destination.
Drivers going through campus need to understand that pedestrians come first. All too often, cars try to roll past crosswalks and stop signs, ignoring the people trying to cross. Students going to class have the right of way. Cars have to wait, and drivers need to keep that in mind.
When it comes to finding parking, drivers must realize that it is a harrowing ordeal and to take it in stride.
A student who drives to campus five minutes before class starts and expects to quickly find a space doesn't
deserve to find one. When these drivers don't find a space fast enough, they often become frustrated and start zipping around the lot at unsafe speeds until a spot opens. Often, students who realize they are late for class will park illegally. They make their own spots and create shorter driving lanes in lots and block other cars from getting around. That is dangerous.
Drivers need to recognize that finding a parking space takes time, and they should come to campus early so they will have time to find a space and make it to class on time.
Becoming impatient while driving on campus is futile. Campus is a complex makeup of obstacles and drivers need to recognize that in order to keep campus safer.

Don't get peeved by pets; plan ahead
Many University of Kansas women have dated weasels. On the other hand, plenty of University men have been involved with some mean chicks. After one or more poor relationships, many students will look for affection from a simpler source. Rather than going to a "meat market" bar or club, students may turn to another kind of meat market — the local pet store—and bring home a real weasel or chick.
Barnyard animals may not be the most popular choices for pets, but this is the peak time for buying pets. For students separated from loved ones or a summertime romance, or living alone in a new apartment, a pet may seem to be an excellent form of companionship. Unfortunately, many

do not realize the commitment taken on when bringing home a furry, finned or feathered friend.
Anyone considering a dog or cat should plan to spend 15 to 20 years with the animal. During that time, plenty of money will be spent on food, visits to the vet and the occasional rubber mouse or doggie sweater.
Pets also will affect your daily schedule, as most animals will require a certain amount of attention from their owners. Dogs will need to be housebroken and taken for walks daily, as well as fed, watered and placed with.
Owning a pet also could affect living arrangements in the future. Will your next apartment complex allow dogs? Will your next roommate be allergic to cats? How will you move your fish
tank safely?
Dogs can present particular problems. Some dog owners favor taking their dog for a walk or to a park without a leash, which violates a city ordinance. Also, leaving your dog unattended on campus is against University regulations.
Pets are an excellent source of love and companionship, but they are also a serious responsibility. Owning a pet can be a joy or a burden, depending on your attitude toward pet ownership.

Perspective
Sororities offer community and strong support system
am a freshman who has just gone through rush.
People who are not involved with the Greek community may not know exactly what goes on, so I wanted to share my experience.
P. B. C. H.
I decided to go through rush because I knew very few people here and I didn't want the campus to seem so big. I was a little wary at first because I had always heard myths about sorority girls who were stuck up and who only were interested in going to parties.
Kimberly Thompson
Quest columnist
I was wrong.
At first my meeting last Saturday and met my two Rho Chis — the women who led us through rush week. I was
so nervous because the women in my rush group,
we so pretty. I figured they would be snotty.
were so pretty. A friend of mine,
But after a few breakbreakers and games, I
learned that these women were pretty on the
inside as well as the outside. They were nice and
intelligent, and I have made some friends I will
keep for the rest of my life.
we visited each sorority, came back to our meeting places and ranked each of the 14 chapters from one to 14. I had such a difficult time deciding because every woman in all of the chapters was as nice as could be. They were all unique and appealing in so many ways.
On the second day of rush parties, we spent a little more time at the chapters getting to know some of the women. They also presented funny skits or gave us house tours. I could feel their sisterhood and see how close they were. I felt myself wanting to bond with a group of women just like these women had done with one another. At the end of two days we ranked the chapters again, this time from one to nine.
On the third day, I asked questions about the sororities, such as what activities they were involved in and what types of community services they performed. These women were extremely involved on campus and in the community.
They told me there are athletes, band members, newspaper staffers, cheerleaders, Crimson Girls, members of the honors program, and student senators in their chapters.
Each chapter has a philanthropy that raises money for different charitable organizations by doing fun activities with other sororities and fraternities. The members are also required to make academics their No.1 priority and special study programs are enforced to encourage strong study skills.
Throughout the week, my top choices changed every time I had to rank them. I couldn't find a disadvantage to any of the chapters. I loved every chapter too much to decide which one I loved the most.
Friday was our last rush night. I was invited to three chapters. This special night was a truly inspirational experience for me. The members opened their hearts to the rushes and shared their experiences from the last four years
I felt accepted since the first day, but I knew on this night that these women sincerely wanted me in their chapters. I felt comfortable with all of the women and could have been happy at any of the 14 chapters.
rme were so many decisions that were made by both rusheshe and the chapters during rush. I know it was a stressful experience for everyone involved. Not everyone was invited back to every sorority and sometimes it was not clear why.
However, I knew that whatever chapter I chose, it was a mutual decision. I also knew that no matter what, I wanted to be part of the greek system. I am proud and honored to be a part of this community.
I know some people think rush is just for prissy girls who want to party and meet boys, but stop and think before you form this opinion. Sororites are about having someone to talk to in a time of need. They are about helping the community. They are also about finding out who you are. I know now that I can do anything
I have 140 sisters backing me up all the way.

I've never really understood the sorority system, perhaps because I'm categorically anti-social. However, I'll share some of my observations in the hopes that some sorority member who is happy with her experiences can enlighten me.

place we can a university to squeeze into their cuteest dresses, put on makeup and do their hair to appear cute and popular in the eyes of the sororites.
one girls make lists of the sororites they would most like to join. The sororites make lists of the girls who appear to be the cutest and most popular. Somehow the selection process is carried out, and the cutest and most popular girls are accepted into their favorite sororites. Girls who aren't as cute or popular are stuck with a less-desirable sorority, or they are left out in the cold, cruel world of non-greek life.
Sounds like a warm way to start a college career, doesn't it. Rushing sounds like a real blast. (I don't understand exactly where the term rushing comes from. I guess it's from these girls "rushing" to throw away their individuality and independence for the right to carry around a key chain bearing greek characters.)
These rushees must follow a few rules, one of which is that they cannot wear a watch. No one I've spoken to knows why this is. Some think it's to teach them to not look at their watches in social situations, as doing so in the course of a conversation would be rude. I find this odd. I would find it
much more rude to be late to a social event because of a missing watch.
Another rule is that they're not supposed to talk to guys. Some think it's because the sororites don't want the guys' opinions influencing the rushees' decisions. The sororates must have a pretty low opinion of freshman if they think the girls are that impressionable.
Another characteristic of sororites that seems to be advertised is that grades are better when one joins. I'm told that there are mandatory study hours for initiates, which is praiseworthy. But this does not guarantee that a Greek person's grades will be better than those of a non-greek. Most students — with determination and self-discipline — can achieve good grades without the help of a sorority. However, it might be nice to have access to old term papers. Good grades are just a matter of bothering to read Milton instead of watching Judge Judy —not that I don't enjoy a good Judge Judy myself.

Now maybe I'm cynical — I probably am — and paranoid — probably that, too — but this system can't help but remind me of some kind of weird religious cult. Think about it:

Sorority rush: Don't talk to boys yet. They're evil. If binge-drinking religious cults held official status with the Panhellenic Association, would they esteem as sororites? Or if sororites dropped their pretenses of academic scholarship and sisterhood, would they be held in the same low esteem as cults? Either way, they're all the same to me.

Columnist ignores main Clinton issue
I'm writing in response to Nick Zaller's Aug. 26 column. I found his article lacking in both factual information and in logical thought. First, Ziller stated that the Monica Lewinsky scandal is solely a matter of sex, and implied that the American public could feel ashamed of their interest in this private situation. Many people do care that Clinton had an extramarital affair with a young intern. They care that their president lied to them. Most of all they care about the
one thing that Zaller chose to omit: The president of the United States is being investigated for committing perjury, a federal offense.
Zaller inquired why the president is under attack for "the luxuries that so many others enjoy, namely lewd and lascivious behavior." First, I have serious doubts that the majority of Americans are conducting adulterous affairs in the workplace with much younger individuals. The American public is not being investigated for living under oath. Zeller's main focus is that he feels Clinton has been unfairly marked with a kind
of red X of immorality. Zaller says that if we expect our leader to live an honest and morally upstanding lifestyle then our only option is to elect God. That is a very sad assertion that man can no longer possess basic values such as honesty, fidelity and respect for the law. Ironically, Zaller summed it up the best: "He represents what is wrong with the moral infrastructure of this country. If the leader of the free world can't be a good moral example, then how can we expect others to follow the strictures of the American moral code?"

Remodeled library to offer learning in fun atmosphere
By Sarah Hale
By Sarah Hale
Kansan staff writer
Fairy tales, short stories and Dr. Suess are returning to Stouffer Place for the reopening of the children's library.
After more than a year of disorganized books and moving locations, a much-improved library will open tomorrow for Stouffer residents and their families.
The library, located at Stouffer Place's community center, building 18, unit five, has been remodeled and will feature new titles, which have been organized onto a database, said Sherien Rouhani, community development assistant. Rouhani began working on the library in late June.
The whole purpose of reopening the library is to help all of the children in the area," Rouhani said. "Most of the children are young and not yet in school. This is just going to help them have another place to go."
Michael Stifter, complex director, said that of Stouffer Place's 750 residents, about 150 are children.
Though the library did not have a budget to update the community center, Rouhani said people around Lawrence donated items and services.
Many of the new books were donated by the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St. and new carpet was installed by Bud Jennings Carpet One, 2851 Iowa St. Maintenance employees also fixed cracks in the center and repainted the walls, while the housing department donated furniture.
The library, which opened about 10 years ago, is designed to try to teach children about using the library and books. Rouhani said it will have more than 300 books for children between the ages of 1 and 14.
"We have three kids, and trying to go to the public library becomes a big ordeal," said Ann Curry, Stouffer Place resident.
Curry said that her three daughters, ages 2, 3 and 9, would be able to learn in a laid-back environment where they wouldn't have to worry about being quiet or getting yelled at by an employee.
"It makes the library much more fun for the kids," she said. "If they don't want to read, they can draw or something."
Sifter said the library would eventually add story time and a book of the month for the children, in addition to outdoor children's activities.
Children's library
A new children's library will open at 3 p.m. tomorrow at the Stouffer Place community center, building 18. unit 5.
The library will be open for residents from 5 to 8 p.m. every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and Saturday.

Story time may be offered in different languages to help foreign residents and to add international flare.
"Right now we are trying to build it slowly and get it off the ground again," he said. "Our goal is to try to establish something great for everyone."
The library will be open from 5 to 8 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday and from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday. Volunteers are encouraged to contact the community center to request an increase in the number of hours the library will be open. The library also will accept donated books.
The reopening of the library will be celebrated at 3 p.m. tomorrow at the community center. Stouffer Place residents are encouraged to visit the library, get library cards for their children and stay for a barbecue.

Most kids swim, hike and throw the Frisbee at summer camp.
This summer, a group of about 100 kids, aged 7 to 15, played, but also learned about cancer, diabetes or cystic fibrosis. They are siblings of children who have these diseases.
By Sue Franke
Kansan staff writer
These children are part of a research study led by Phoebe Williams, professor at the University of Kansas School of Nursing. She was awarded a three-year, $1.3 million dollar grant in July to investigate the effects of intervention for siblings of sick children through teaching and counseling.
attended the first camp in July, which provided only the social activities of camp. An August camp with 100 kids had social activities and added teaching and counseling by nurse clinicians.
The study involves kids spending a week at Camp Shawnee in Parkville, Mo. About 100 children
A third camp, which will have only social activities, is planned for July 1999. Parents, and their children who will attend that camp, are being evaluated for their level of understanding of the disease before the camp intervention.
williams said the children who attended camp learned from one another.
"They find out for the first time that there are other brothers and sisters just like them," she said. "By listening to those disclosures, they really grow up."
Carole Hafeman, a clinical nurse specialist from Children's Mercy
Hospital, Kansas City, Mo., counselled kids at the August camp on spina bifida, a defect in the spinal column.
"For the first two days, we looked at what systems in the body are affected by spina bifida," she said. "We used hands-on examples, so we used filters and different fluids to show how those fluids affect the kidneys."
rarents don't often openly discuss a chronically-ill child's disease with the rest of the family, said Anne Guthrie, doctoral student at the Beach Center on Families and Disabilities in Lawrence.
"One person said, 'It's like there's a big, pink elephant in the middle of the living room, and no one is acknowledging it's there,'" she said.

tally retarded and has worked with many siblings of sick children, said she had seen many common themes with the siblings.
"kids have the feeling that they probably caused the problem," she said. "Sometimes they wish they had the illness or disability to get mom and dad's attention."
Williams said reports indicated that as many as 26 percent of siblings of children with chronic illnesses develop mental health or behavior problems.
If the study reveals that the counseling and teaching are beneficial, Williams said the project would become a state program in Kansas and Missouri. Follow-up evaluations with parents and the children who attended the camps will take place to determine how the families benefited from the experience.
Yeltsin under pressure amid financial woes
The Associated Press
The president's new prime minister, Viktor Chernomyrdin, claimed yesterday night that although the situation was not simple, it absolutely was controllable. But there was no sign Yeltsin or his lieutenant had begun to contain the crisis.
MOSCOW — Pressure mounted on Boris Yeltsin to resign yesterday as Parliament leaders proposed Soviet-style measures — currency controls, fixed prices and state ownership — to contain Russia's escalating financial crisis.
Exchange markets remained officially frozen, and the ruble's value continued to collapse in street trading, while ordinary Russians struggled to make sense of the situation. Should they withdraw savings in rubles? Stock up on groceries? Or assume they would get by somehow as they have during other post-Soviet crises?
Yeltsin spokesman Sergei Yastrzhemski vehemently denied that the president was preparing to step down. Both Washington and the Kremlin said yesterday that next week's Yeltsin-Clinton summit, set for Tuesday in Moscow, was still on.
It was clear that the Kremlin was now willing to consider solutions previously rejected — steps the West is likely to see as moving backward from a free market.
Chernomyrdin and other government figures held consultations with top Parliament leaders - most of them Communists and other hard-liners - who presented a draft plan for fixing the economy by bringing back Soviet-style economic controls. The possibilities include nationalizing major industries, controlling prices and fixing currency exchange rates.
"Privatization didn't lead to a restructuring of the economy and has failed to create an effective class of property owners," the draft said. "The situation demands increasing the role of the state in regulating the economy."
Kremilin officials took part in the deliberations, but it was unclear how much support the specific proposals may have from Yeltsin and his team.
A. J.
Yeltsin: Faces political backlash from economic crisis
Communist leaders also continued to
pressure Yeltsin politically. Genndy Seleznoy, the Communist speaker of Parliament's lower house, said they were preparing a bill to lay out the privileges available to a former president, including membership in the upper house for 10 years.
Meanwhile, the financial markets continued to crumble. The Central Bank suspended all currency trading, saying the suspension would continue today — effectively freezing all trading through the weekend.
The last transactions Tuesday left the official exchange rate at 7.86 rubles to the dollar, but the street rate has continued to fall, dropping below 10 rubles to the dollar at exchange booths around Moscow.
Russian media said the cancellation of dollar sales signaled that the government was preparing to impose state control over the currency market, which could revive the black currency market.
The halt has generated a severe shortage of dollars both for banks and residents.
Renovations sound harmonious to Murphy occupants
By Mariana Paiva
Kansan staff writer
Lectures in Murphy Hall constantly are interrupted by voice and instrument rehearsals that take place in other classrooms. Soon, sounds from construction equipment will add to this symphony.
Students and professors in Murphy Hall will have to be patient with the two-year renovation and construction that will add 52,000 square feet to the building.
One of the major features of the project will be a 12,000-squarefoot library, which will include an upgraded and expanded computer lab. The library will be three times as large as the current one, said Peter Thompson, dean of fine arts.
"Also, there will be three major rehearsal spaces for orchestras, bands and ensembles." he said.
Thompson said that rehearsal space was so scarce that some students had to practice in the hallways.
"This renovation and construction is what they've needed for a long time." Thompson said.
Also, Steve Scannell, consultant services manager of design and construction management, said there would be improvements in building accessibility as well as fire system upgrades.
"For the first time, Murphy Hall will have an elevator that
will serve all five floors," he said.
The expansion will be to the south end of the building, which faces Naismith Drive. The current library will become office and classroom space and will be used for music therapy and music education.
The plan to expand Murphy Hall is not new. Thompson recalled participating in a committee to discuss the addition and renovation of the building in 1976. He said the project was designed in 1987 but was approved by the Kansas Board of Regents only two years ago.
Scannell said that $9.7 million had been designated for the renovation project, but estimated the project would cost at $7.6 million.
Scannell said the planning committee had not gotten a contract with a construction company yet but expected construction to start within a month.
Thompson said he knew the construction noise would bother many professors and students, but plans had been made to schedule the most disruptive work at times when classes were not in session.
Scannell said that most of the project should be complete by December 1999, with the remodeling of the current library set to finish by May 2000.
"We were looking forward to this moment, so I am assuming there won't be too many complaints." Thompson said.

Deepening Russian crisis sinks U.S. stock market
NEW YORK - The Dow tumbled 357.36 points yesterday, which extended Wall Street's summer slide to 12.6 percent. The deepening crisis in Russia and doubts about a Japanese recovery jolted stock markets around the globe.
the Dow Jones industrial average's 4.2 percent drop to 8,165.99 marked a new low point in a sudden downturn that is now dragged the index of 30 major
companies 1,171 points below the July 17 record of 9,337.97.
Trading was extremely heavy, with more than 2 billion shares traded on all U.S. markets for only the second time in history.
It was the first time since last October's steep sell-off, which was also induced by fears that foreign economic troubles would hurt U.S. companies, that the Dow has finished a day more than 10 percent below its previous high, a loss commonly referred to as a market correction.
Thursday's point drop was also the third largest for one session behind the 554.26 points lost Oct. 27 during last fall's slide, and the 508-point Black Monday crash of Oct. 19, 1987. But in percentage terms, the loss was far smaller than the 22.6 percent drop on Black Monday.
The Dow, which at the July peak boasted an 18.1 percent gain for 1998, is now just 3.3 percent higher for the year.
Individual investors, who stubbornly have stuck with the market as their best bet for retirement savings, again appeared willing to ride out the latest drop.
"It doesn't make me sweat at all," said John Lampe, 33, of Denver. "Over the long period of time, it's going to go up."
The selling on Wall Street was triggered by a series of steep declines on key markets overseas.
declines of key metrics In Russia, stocks extended Wednesday's 14 percent plunge with a 9 percent drop as the government halted currency trading for the remainder of the week.

Students pay big bucks at big screen
Patrons to miss seeing movies at cheap prices
By Chris Fickett
Kanson staff writer
Students are up in arms about the upcoming closing of the Hillcrest 5 Theaters.
Hillcrest, which has been operating as a $1 admission movie theater under Hollywood Theaters' management for the past year, will close Sept. 27.
When Jon Ratzlaff, Hillcrest manager, found out in late July that Hollywood would not be renewing its lease at Hillcrest, he said he and his employees were offered positions at Hollywood's Southwind 12 Theaters.
But while Hillcrest employees can continue work at another theater, KU students will not have the luxury of seeing a movie anywhere else in Lawrence for the same price.
"For crying out loud," said Dan Adams, Newton junior, when he learned that Hillcrest would be closing.
Adams also said that theater companies should be more understanding to students' budgets.
"I just paid $40 for a book. So, if I can pay $1 for a movie, that helps offset the costs," he said.
Andrew Morgan, Leawood sophomore, said he liked Hillcrest because if he missed a film at one of the larger theaters in town, he could still see it for a cheaper price at Hillcrest.
Morgan said that since Hollywood was operating in a college town such as Lawrence, they should offer a budget theater.
"They're a pretty faceless company," he said. "They're not about giving a good price to the students."
Jessa Halm, Alpine, Utah, junior, said that Hillcrest's closing would leave her with no options for viewing films in Lawrence.
“it's kind of setting a trend here,” she said. “First, with the Varsity closing, and now Hillcrest; there aren't any places to see a cheap movie.”
Ratzlaff had worked for the Varsity Theater when it operated as a bargain theater under Crown cinemas. When Hollywood bought out Crown, he was moved to Hillcrest, he said.
Ratzlaff said he did not know about the future of the Hillcrest building.
But, Adams said he was hopeful that another cinema corporation would occupy the Hillcrest building.
"Iam issuing a call to any movie people out there because we need cheap movies in this town," he said.

SUA hopes to fill entertainment void
Films on campus are student bargain
By Angola Johnson
Kansan staff writer
Students have expressed concerns that Lawrence's only cheap theater, Hillcrest, is closing next month.
Not quite true, said Jerry O'Leary, Spectrum films coordinator for Student Union Activities. KU students and the Lawrence community have another cheap alternative.
SUA shows popular and independent films five days a week in the Kansas Union, O'Leary said.
"Not enough people realize there's a movie theater on campus," O'Leary said. "We don't
have as much exposure as the other movie theaters. We want students to be aware."
One reason why students may be uninformed is that the theater has moved from Woodruff Auditorium to Alderson Auditorium. Woodruff is having its seats, ceiling and tapestries renovated and is scheduled to be completed by this spring.
"No one knows we've moved," O'Leary said. "We had a line of people waiting for the movie by Woodruff the other night for 30 minutes before we informed them where we were."
Julie Rock, Shawne freshman, said SUA needed to advertise in the organized living areas on campus.
"They might get more of a response if they put fliers in the dorms or the sororities and fraternities," Rock said. "Students are always looking for something to do that doesn't cost a lot of money."
Jim Kelly, Olathe junior, compared SUA films to films shown at Liberty Hall downtown.
"It's too bad that Hillcrest is closing, but SUA is a lot like Liberty Hall," Kelly said. "It's a good variety of films; that's why it's so neat."
Rock said she purchased the SUA movie card, which allows her into SUA films for the entire school year. For $35, a student can see about 40 movies.
SUA shows movies at 7 p.m.
and 9:30 p.m. Tuesday through
Saturday. Midnight shows run
Fridays and Saturdays. The
evening shows cost $2, and the
midnight shows cost $3.
"We're a lot like a dollar the
ater." O'Leary said. "You can see last spring's films or re-release a film to still bring in some revenue. SUA's in the same boat."
O'Leary said SUA chose films based on what was popular with students, what was recent and what appealed to the campus audience.
SUA also offers a variety of independent and foreign films. O'Leary said films from Italy, Asia and Russia were lined up for this school year.
"We don't only want minority students coming to the foreign films, but also American college kids," O'Leary said. "We have some really good films that students don't have access to. We wanted to get stuff that was appealing but hard to find. Liberty Hall doesn't have some of these films."
Review
54 loses chance to add up to better movie
By Jeremy M. Doherty Kansan movie critic
Nostalgia for the 1970s is at a peak in Hollywood. With the slew of recent films like Booie Nights and The Ice Storm focusing heavily on the decade's drug- and sex-fueled excesses, a movie about the Manhattan nightspot Studio 54 would seem more than likely.
Studio 54 began serving as the crossroads for hipsters, pop singers and movie stars in 1977. Cocaine dripped from every nose, and sex in the club's balcony was a nightly phenomenon. It all came crashing down when its owners, Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager, were nailed by the government for tax
evasion.
One would expect writer/director Mark Christopher's 54 to delve into this wild tale. Instead, he settles for fictional characters and some weak moralizing about the hubris of celebrity. In other words, this movie's a few boogies short of a Booie Nights.
Ryan Phillippe plays Shane, a poor Jersey kid in a Brady Bunch haircut who gets a job as a busboy at the club. His dreamboat looks get him the attention of Rubell (Mike Myers), the club's high-living and style-obsessed owner, who introduces Shane to a life of money, drugs and sex.
The film also introduces us to some of the club's hangers-on, such as an aspiring singer (Salma Hayek), a bartender (Breckin Meyer) who's jealous of Shane and a perpetually-stoned music producer (Sela Ward).
Myers makes a passable jump to drama here with his portrayal of the coked-out, homosexual Rubell. But thanks to Christopher's underwritten script, his performance resembles a variation on the "Coffee Talk" character he used to play on Saturday Night Live. Some tweaking could have elevated this merely good performance to greatness.
it's hard to believe from watching 54 that this nightclub was any kind of social mecca. The promiscuous sex
If you blink, you might miss Mire Campbell playing a soap star in a role that's little more than a glittery walk-on.

and wall-to-wall drug sniffing is never quite shocking enough to have spawned the stuff of legends.
Parking in the rear
There's nothing wrong with fictionalizing real-life events in the interest of good drama. But the sad, frenzied life of Rubell, who died in 1899 of hepatitis, itself is fascinating. Why Christopher ignored those opportunities in favor of the trite, obvious melodrama in 54 is indeed a mystery.

FAST-PACED, YET DISTURBING SLICE OF LIFE.
Jeremy DuBerry UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
S
Studios typically aren't known for releasing intelligent films during the sweaty summer months, but this year they really outdid themselves. How bad was it?
Eddie Murphy performed mouth-to-mouth on rodents.
Golly.
Mel Gibson, 42, and Danny Glover, 51, chased bad guys and played with guns as though it were still 1987.
Ferris Bueller had the honor of administering a pregnancy test to Godzilla.
Bruce Willis starred in a 150-minute Aerosmith video about oil drillers sent into space to blow up an asteroid.
And audiences everywhere ate it all up. A total of eight movies, including the likes of Deep Impact, Godzilla and Lethal Weapon 4, each grossed more than $100 million in ticket sales in the U.S.
What the hell happened to summer movies? This used to be the prime season for entertainment. Does anyone remember a time when the weeks between Memorial and Labor days saw releases such as Die Hard, Terminator 2 and The Fugitive?
in the rough this year. Most notably, Steven Spielberg released Saving Private Ryan, a horrifyingly realistic D-Day epic that already has some declaring the 1999 Oscar derby over. Anchored by what may be the most impressive, subtle performance yet from Tom Hanks and an all-guts-no-glory depiction of combat those, predictions could turn out correct.
Perhaps even more impressive from a filmmaking standpoint was Terry Gilliam's chaotic Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Most critics complained that Gilliam's film, which chronicled the drug-crazed exploits of journalist Hunter S. Thompson, revealed in scenes of vomit, perversity and filth. I thought that was the whole idea — to give otherwise unsuspecting viewers a glimpse into a fast-paced, yet disturbing slice of life. The movie only grossed $10.6 million.
franchise out of its misery? Pretty please? The first installment was a top-drawer thriller - easily one of the five best cop movies of the past 25 years. But when LW4 has to resort to baby jokes and ethnic stereotypes to get the point across, someone needs to pull the plug.
The summer of 1998 largely was devoid of sequels, which forced the studios to search for new venues of entertainment. Jim Carrey kept his rubber-faced antics under control in The Truman Show, and the result was a thoughtful look at the way celebrities are created by TV producers and consultants.
George Clooney led a terrific ensemble cast in the tight crime drama Out of Sight, based on the novel by Elmore Leonard. But Clooney's fans stayed away, apparently deciding that they'd rather watch Dr. Ross at home for free.
May and June also saw a flood of movies (Horse Whisperer, Bulworth, Six Days, Seven Nights) featuring a 50-something guy putting the moves on a girl barely out of her Pampers. You have to wonder why the studios were so reluctant then to handle the new version of Lolita, a story of really underage love, which eventually made its debut on Showtime in July.
Careful moviegoers also took notice of a handful of mini landmarks at the multiplex. There's Something About Mary made no bones about its affection for bodily fluids and it collectively upped the ante for future gross-out epics. The X Files grossed more than $80 million, meaning that the conspiracy-laden saga of Mulder and Scully has appeal even to non-fans. And the hit-and-miss offerings of A Perfect Murder and Snake Eyes proved that thrillers in the Hitchcockian mold are best left to Alfred Hitchcock.
Can audiences who are starved for meaningful entertainment find nourishment soon? Maybe. In the months ahead, movie buffs can look forward to new offerings from directors John Dahl (The Last Seduction), Jonathan Demme (Silence of the Lambs), John Carpenter (Halloween) and Sam

Commentary
A lesson in bashing hated Big 12 rivals
Welcome to those of you who have never been a part of the Big 12 Conference, to those of you who are not familiar with the Big 12 and to those of you who support rival bashing.
Allow me to give you the lowdown.
Better take notes — there's a lot of information to get.
The Jayhawks are a proud bunch. Our basketball program is second to none. Although we sometimes struggle during the tournament, I know that will change this year when the Jayhawks win the national championship. Coach Williams is a class act and every coach strives to be like him.
Our football program, which was once a powerhouse in the leather-heltem days, still is struggling a bit. With second-year coach Terry Allen,
however, we will be a top-10 program in a couple of years.
Program in a couple of years. Despite our top-notch programs, we do have two big rivals:
the hated in-state rival of the purple and silver in Manhattan, and the hated border rival of the black and yellow in Columbia.
CARLTON BAKER
Kansas State likes to pretend it has a top-10 football program, but in reality its players are a bunch of convicts. For example, prize recruit Frank "BMW" Murphy just has been suspended for four games because he accepted money from a booster to purchase a car in Garden City.

My new name for the Wildcats' football team is the K-Fakers.
K-Fake likes to beat up on Northwest-Southern-From the Middle-of-Nowhere teams to pad its record and boost its high rankings.
Just so you know, K-State won a total of one game in the '80s. Well, it wasn't that bad, but the Wildcats' record was terrible.
Let's move on to Misery — oops, I mean Missouri.
Speaking of bad, their basketball program is horrible. The only time they sellout a game is when the Jayhawks are in town.
Unfortunately for these pretenders, the Jayhawks return quarterback Zac Wegner, running back David Winbush, wide receivers Termaine Fulton and Michael Chandler and the rest of our All-American offense (at least, that's where I'm projecting them this season).
Missouri is so sorry that Kansas outside linebacker Ron Warner made quarterback Corby Jones cry like a baby in the deciding moments of their match-up last fall. Misery, much like K-Fake, is hoping for consecutive bowl seasons.
Misery and K-Fake will not beat us in any sport this year.
K-Staters to hate: quarterback Chad May, point guard Anthony Bean, guard Askia Jones and power forward Manny Dies
Chad May has been cut more than a victim of Jack the Ripper.
Beane single-handedly beat the Jayhawks a few years back.
Askia Jones could actually score points against the Jayhawks, which is reason enough to dislike him.
As for Manny Dies, I better watch my little columnist behind after what happened when he disagreed with a K-State Collegian columnist.
Tigers to hate: Kelly Thames, Jason Sutherland, Kelly Thames, Anthony Peeler, Kelly Thames, Derrick Grimm, Monty "Large Marge" Harge, the twin terrible Haley boys and did I mention Kelly Thames and Jason Sutherland?
So, if you don't hear from me in a week, better look in the river.
If you can't remember these people, let me refresh your memory.
Guard Jason Sutherland is a football player playing basketball.
Guard Anthony Peeler actually has skis.
Forward Derrick Grimm thinks he's Daniel from the Karate Kid (he chopped forward Raef Lafrentz in the throat last year).
Forward Kelly Thames cries.
The Haley Twins, both centers, weighed a combined huck-fifty.
playing basketball.
Guard Anthony Peeler actually has skills.
Center Monty "Large Marge" Hardge was thrown to the floor after Lester Earl put the ball back in his face. I think he's still picking leather out of his mouth.
Well students, class is adjourned for now. Memorize these names and historic events,and you'll be ready for the rivalries this year.

Volleyball team digs in for season
STUDIO PHOTO
'Hawks' Kiyabu set to help lead defense
By Laura Bokenkroger
Kansan sportswriter
Last year, the Kansas volleyball team finished last in the Big 12 Conference in digs.
It committed 406 service errors compared to only 290 by its opponents.
If the amount of practice time spent on serving and digging is any indication, this year will be different. A dig is when a player passes a ball spiked by the opponent.
"Who's going to finish last in digs this year?" asked Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard during a recent practice.
"Not us," the Jayhawks shouted in unison.
They say they mean it, and perhaps no one takes the challenge more seriously than Kansas defensive specialist Kristi Kiyabu.
At 5-foot-4, Kiyabu is the shortest and smallest Jayhawk on the team. Playing alongside players that are 6 feet or taller, she isn't much of a threat at the net, but when she is on the back row, it's another story.
As a defensive specialist, her job includes passing, digging and serving. Her focus is to initiate the offense — a key to winning games.
Although she is only in the game for the three rotations in the back row (other players play six rotations). Kiyabu has established herself as an

essential part of the team. She fills a spot that requires charisma and intensity, Bechard said.
"The defensive specialists are expected to raise the energy level," Bechard said. "She digs some balls and helps us win some rallies. She's there to provide a spark."
Kiyabu came to Kansas from Honolulu three years ago. Two of her uncles lived in Lawrence. One was a professor at Kansas, but retired two years before she arrived. Though both have since moved, she has found a niche at Kansas.
Kiyabu's love of volleyball inspired her to walk on to the team as a freshman. She played in 61 games that year, including all 20 of the Jayhawks' conference matches.
Kiyabu has earned a position on this team with her foot speed and agility. She said digging balls and picking up the tough shots is a big thrill, but the most exciting accomplishment is serving an ace.
"That's my offense," Kiyabu said. In practice, Kiyabu gets more time to work on defense. While the hitters run through spiking drills, Kiyabu lines up on the other side of the court to dig.
up on the other. Besides the technical things, Kiyabu said she wanted to improve on her communication during games.
"I think the thing I have to work on most is helping the team work together," Kiyabu said. "I'm only in for three rotations, and I need to be a spark and help them communicate."
Run/walk starts celebration of women's sports
It's a challenge Kiyabu takes personally.
Her energy and quickness will help the Jayhawks as they challenge themselves to construct a stronger and more reputable defense on the court.
Kiyabu was dubbed "Diesel" after her Kansas teammates discovered this small-framed athlete was considered a muscular phenomenon by her Hawaiian teammates.

The Kansas will kick off its yearlong celebration of women's athletics this weekend with "Run/Walk with the Jayhawks."
This year marks the 30th year of women's intercollegiate sports at the University. With $2,000, then-Kansas professor Marlene Mawson financed women's field hockey, basketball, swimming, volleyball, gymnastics and tennis.
"The 30th anniversary celebration provides us many opportunities to link the past with the present and future of KU women's athletics," said Amy
Perko, associate athletics director.
Julie Sigourney, Athletics Department administrative assistant, expects between 200 and 250 alumni, coaches, students and community members.
Registration for the Run/Walk is free for Kansas students with an ID and begins at 8 a.m. tomorrow. The event begins at 8:30 a.m. T-shirts are $5 for students. Prizes such as autographed balls, T-shirts and gift certificates will be awarded.
The course will begin and end at Memorial Stadium. Participants can choose between a 5-kilometer and 2-mile trek.
Among those expected to participate are women's basketball coach Marian Washington, former Jayhawk basketball All-American Lynette Woodard.
Bob Frederick, athletics director, and softball coach Tracy Bunge.
Before becoming coach three years ago, Bunge played softball at Kansas from 1983-86, earning an All-America selection her senior year.
Her ties to Kansas athletics as both a player and coach have her especially enthusiastic about this year's celebration.
"I experienced the history we had in the middle '80s and was a part of that history," she said. "For me, it is very special that KU administratively has taken the time to make it a special year for women's athletics."
Besides tomorrow's run/walk, former

student-athletes and coaches are invited for a celebration weekend, Oct. 16-18. Several women's teams will be in action that weekend, and attending alumni will be treated to a brunch and family picnic.
"Let's face it," Bunge said. "KU is a (men)'s basketball school, so it's nice for the women to get this. They'll start to think 'gosh, we really are important.'"

Minnesota designated hitter Paul Molitor moved past Willie Mays into ninth place on the all-time hit list at 3,284 with a first-inning ground-rule down double the right-field line.
Santana, with a 5-2 record, did not allow an eamed run, struck out three batters and walked three in his 28th career start. The right-hander has worked at least six innings in 11 straight starts and has allowed three eamed runs or less in nine of those starts.

Cardinals McGwire out swings legends
ST. LOUIS — As his home-run total continues to mount, Mark McGwire keeps leaving some of the biggest names in baseball history in his winters.
Last week, McGwire became the first player in major-league history to have three consecutive 50-home run seasons when he hit a home run in both ends of a doubleheader at New York.
Two days later, on Aug. 22, McGwire set a major-league record with 162 home runs during three consecutive seasons. Ruth, who hit 161 from 1926 to 1928, again took a back seat.
miles in baseball history in his wake. The St. Louis Cardinals player, who hit home run No. 54 Wednesday night, has surpassed so many of the biggest and best in baseball history during his quest for Roger Maris' home run record that he ought to be used to it by now. Instead, he almost seems embarrassed.
The victim was Babe Ruth, who had consecutive 50-home run seasons in 1920-21 and 1927-28.
The latest link to the past came after his 509-foot, two-run home run off Florida Marlins rookie Justin Speier. The blast made McGwire only the third player in National League history to hit that many home runs in a season and the first since Ralph Kiner hit 54 in 1949.

U.S. golfer shoots for amateur success
The Associated Press
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Defending champion Matt Kuchar ended both his U.S. Amateur match-play duels yesterday on the 13th hole, setting up a quarterfinal showdown with British Amateur winner Sergio Garcia.
"It is my lucky number. It's funny that it's worked out this way." Kuchar said after crushing Bert Atkinson on Oak Hill's East course. Earlier in the day, he knocked out Matthew Saglio.
Today's match against Garcia, the 18-year-old Spaniard phenomenon with the nickname "El Nino," could be the pivotal one in the weeklong championship.
"It could be one-sided," Kuchar said.
"Most likely, it will be a great battle."
Garcia knocked out Danny Green of Jackson, Tenn., stringing together three birdies and one bogey. Earlier, Garcia beat Chip Travis of Hinsdale, Ill., with four birdies.
Looking ahead to the tussle with Kuchar, Garcia said he was sure of one thing — that if he did not play his best he would not win. Garcia won the British Amateur in June and is 19-0 in match play this year.
"I don't think I'm going to let down the United States if I don't win, I don't think he's going to let down Spain and Europe if he doesn't win," he said. "It's not that big yet. We're just two kids going at it."
Although mindful that the United States lost the Ryder Cup to Europe at Oak Hill in 1995, Kuchar said his match-up with Garcia won't carry any extra patriotic weight.

Kansas scores Swedish soccer whiz
Adjusting difficult for junior forward
By Brad Hallor
Kaaren sportswriter
Kansan sportswriter
Johanna Larsson traveled halfway around the world to play soccer for Kansas, but she almost wasn't eligible to play.
Two days before she left Lulea, Sweden, to travel to the United States, she learned she would need another credit hour of course work to meet NCAA requirements.
"I panicked," she said. "I had an essay worth one credit to turn in. I needed my credit by Aug. 20, and I found out I had passed Aug. 19."
Of course, by Aug. 19 she had already practiced with the Kansas women's soccer team, enduring five days of uncertainty about whether she would be allowed to play.
Unlike other newcomers to the Kansas team, however, Larsson is not a freshman in playing experience or at college.
The last two years, she studied at the University of Göteborg (pronounced Gothenburg) in Sweden, about 600 miles from her home.
In addition to meeting NCAA requirements, Larson has had other obstacles to overcome, such as the change in food and weather. But she is starting to get comfortable at Kansas.
Two years of separation from her parents, Lars-Olof and Ann-Christine Larsson, have helped her avoid feeling homesick so far at Kansas.
Larsson, a junior forward, is from Lulea, a city of about 75,000 in north-central Sweden.
"The distance doesn't matter, because even when I was at Göteborg, I only saw my parents three times a year," she said.
Despite the distance, Larsson said her parents still had the biggest influence on her life.
"They have encouraged me to do what I want to do. " she said. "They told me I couldn't pass up an opportunity like this."
Change in plans
Larson originally weren't going to be a Jayhawk. She intended to join an old teammate from Sweden at Drury College in Springfield, Mo. But the Drury soccer program ran out of scholarship money.
Lisa Unsworth, an assistant coach at Drury, moved to Kansas and became an assistant Kansas women's soccer coach. She told soccer coach Dan Magher about Larsson.
"Dan called and asked if I wanted to play here," Larsson said. "He wanted me to play in the fall of '97, but I decided to stay in Sweden one more year."
Though Larsson didn't join the Jayhawks as soon as Magner would have liked, he said he was glad she decided to come to Kansas.
"I believe the experience of her playing at a very strong level in Sweden will benefit us," he said. "She knows how to score, which fills a need for us."
"Off the field, she brings lots of maturity. She's successful in the classroom and has a tremendous sense of humor. Her enthusiasm is contagious and people around her feel her energy. We're very fortunate that she's here."
Other challenges
Larsson doesn't spend all her time practicing or playing, and the transition to the United States has been difficult at times.
"I am so tired of speaking English," she said. "I can't express myself 100 percent in English. Sometimes I'll start speaking in Swedish, and people will look at me like, 'What the... Because I write e-mail in Swedish and talk to my parents in Swedish, it gets so frustrating at times."
Larsson has found significant differences between Kansas and Göteborg.
"I was surprised at the homework," she said. "Professors give homework and they check it. In Sweden, we were told to read 2,000 pages, and there would be an exam in four weeks.
"I'm also taking a Spanish class, and it's very hard because I have to translate the Spanish to Swedish to English."
Larsson does like the way the main campus at Kansas is all in one area. She said that in Göteborg, the university is spread out all around the city.
Another difference between Lawrence and Göteborg is the muggy Kansas heat.
"It's getting better, but far from good" she said about her adjustment to the weather. "I thought I was going to die this past weekend because of the heat. I just have to keep pushing myself, and I'll get used to it."

have in Kansas in late August.
Food also has been adjustment.
"I've seen people over here eat peanut butter and jelly on a bagel, and I would never eat that," she said. "I tried Kentucky Fried Chicken, and I liked it. Over in Sweden, we eat more healthy food. Over here, there's always fried stuff. Right now, I'm longing for some Swedish meatballs and macaroni."

Lifetime athlete
Larsson has been a life-long athlete. She participated in numerous sports when she was younger, including basketball, volleyball, table tennis, equestrian, snowboarding and skiing.
When she turned 13, she chose to focus on soccer.
"Dad wanted me to go to a soccer camp when I was eight or nine," she said. "Dad thought I was too girlie, a typical girl, and he wanted me to go out and meet more people. I didn't want to go, but some of my classmates
were going. It was fun."
Larson played for two soccer club teams in Sweden, including Lulea SK from 1986- to '97. Her father is club president.
From 1996 through this year, she played in Sweden's first division for Landvetter IF.
Larsson didn't have a sports hero while growing up in Sweden, and she didn't follow professional sports.
When she was 16, she met Thomas Ravelli, then the starting goalkeeper for Sweden's national soccer team.
"When I met Ravelli, I became interested (in the national team)," she said. "When you know someone on a team, it spurs interest. Before that, all I wanted was for my team to win, and then I was happy."
Kansas soccer isn't the World Cup, and Lawrence isn't home, but Larson is slowly but surely adapting to the American life, food, school and soccer.

OVERLAND PARK — Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder said that he was angry and disappointed that boosters and others had given money to running back Frank Murphy to buy a car.
The Associated Press
Kansas State player suspended
Sprint
Sprint TELECENTERs Inc.
"It just disturbs me that this would take place in our program," Snyder said Wednesday.
Murphy must sit out the first four games of the 1998 season as a penalty for accepting the money, Kansas State officials said Wednesday.
"The penalty was based on cases similar to this one," said NCAA representative Wallace Renfro. "It was the appropriate restitution given the circumstances."
After hearing Kansas State's appeal Tuesday on Murphy's eligibility, the NCAA Division I Subcommittee on Student-Athlete Restatement ruled that Murphy's eligibility would be reinstated following the suspension.
The problem arose after Murphy signed with the Wildcats from Garden City Community College last spring, and a Kansas State booster
Kansas State had sought a two-
game suspension.
Kansas State officials had declared Murphy ineligible after they discovered the situation and reported it to the NCAA. They contend Murphy received the money from a friend and did not know that it had been collected from other people, including Kansas State boosters.
Snyder said a two-game suspension would have sufficed, and he placed the blame for the incident on the boosters.
was accused of helping furnish him with a red 1985 BMW.
"We had hoped that the NCAA would understand Frank's situation," Snyder said. "We're quite confident that when the incident took place that the individual who provided the money for Frank is someone that he had known long before he was here at Kansas State, before we were recruiting him. It was his feeling that it was an OK thing to do."
The Kansas State report stated that a booster collected $3,650 in cash from 11 people, including seven boosters. A booster kept some of the money, and Murphy used $3,200 to buy the car.
Murphy returned the car and donated $3,400 to charity, the
report said. That a m o n t included money for the car, which was returned to him, plus $200 to make up for a $200 cash gift that Murphy received from a booster last fall.

not know that the donor was affiliated with Kansas State.
The people who helped Murphy buy the car have been barred from further involvement with Kansas State athletics, officials said.
"I have come to understand that I made a serious error in judgment by accepting what is considered an unauthorized benefit," Murphy said. "I deeply regret any burden which I have brought to my family, to Kansas State University, to the community of Manhattan, to our football program and its great fans. I want to publicly apologize for any embarrassment I may have caused them."
Also Tuesday, the school received the NCAA's letter of official inquiry outlining the violations and confirming the Kansas State's finding that no staff members were involved.
Kansas State will have the opportunity to respond in writing and could seek a hearing before the Division I Committee on Infractions, Renfro said. The committee will then decide what penalty, if any, to impose on Kansas State.
Kansas State officials hope to have the case heard as soon as possible, said Kent Brown, sports information director.
The Wildcats, with 18 returning starters from last year's 11-1 team, open against Indiana State on Sept. 5 and could make a strong run for the national title.
Murphy rushed for 1,370 yards and 26 touchdowns last season for Garden City. He also had 17 receptions for 266 yards and four touchdowns.
The 6-foot-1, 205-pound Florida native was named a first-team All-American by the National Junior College Athletic Association. He led his team to the national junior college championship game, where he was voted MVP after rushing for 115 yards and two touchdowns.
Tech is fearless vs. Cornhuskers
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — Unheralded Louisiana Tech is talking as if it's nothing to play the defending national co-champion. Nebraska makes it seem like it's already bowl season.
Sounds as if nobody told either team about Nebraska's No. 4 national ranking or a spread that favors the Cornhuskers by 34 points for the Eddie Robinson Football Classic tomorrow.
"You're only an underdog if you don't believe you can win, and I think we can win. So I don't believe that we are underdogs," said Louisiana Tech coach Gary Crowton.
Nebraska coach Frank Solich, who makes his debut this weekend after 19 years as Tom Osborne's assistant, agreed. Solich said the passhappy Bulldogs could spoil the parties in Lincoln, where the Huskers have won 42 straight.
Norrell SERVICES, INC
Hukeno
"We're hoping to slow them down a little bit. Not many teams did last year," Solich said.
Under quarterback Tim Rattay, who passed for 3,881 yards and 34 touchdowns last season, the Bulldogs throw some 50 passes per game — often from one-back or no-back sets, often with four receivers flooding one side.
Louisiana Tech plays as an independent bowl bid last season despite a 9-2 record. Still, the Bulldogs beat California and won at Alabama. Solich said their only bad game was a 49-13 loss at Auburn.
The top receiving threat is Troy Edwards, a Biletnikoff Award finalist last season after catching 102 passes for 1,707 yards and 13 touchdowns — statistics that led the nation in yards per catch and receptions per game.
1996 Fiesta Bowl, and it's a matchup that troubles Solich.
"Most teams that run it don't use it as their primary offense," Solich said. "Most teams save it as a gimmick. Louisiana Tech uses it as a special part of the offense, and they run a tremendous number of things from it."
The 'Huskers haven't faced that kind of passing attack since beating Florida in the
Edwards said he expected to be even better this fall.
"Tim and I have a better understanding of what we can do." he said.
Adding to Solich's concern is the loss of free safety Clint Finley, who suffered a knee injury two weeks ago. Mike Brown will move over from strong safety and Brown's backup, Joe Walker, will start at strong safety.
But it's not the Louisiana Tech receivers that concern Solich most. With high humidity expected and temperatures in the upper 80s, he said it was more important for the defensive linemen to stay fresh.
NCAA football kicks off
The Associated Press
College football opens with a classic weekend; four games in three days that feature coaching debuts at Nebraska and Southern California and five of the Top 25 teams in the preseason poll.
Frank Solich takes center stage tomorrow when he leads No. 4 Nebraska against Louisiana Tech in the Cornhuskers' first game not coached by Tom Osborne since 1973.
"I don't know if I'll be nervous. I'd classify it more as excitement," Solich said. "But there is still that kind of nervous feeling many athletes and coaches probably have, and it'll definitely be there. But I know we'll have done the right things in preparing for the game."
Also tomorrow, No. 15 Colorado State, the favorite in the Western Athletic Conference, visits No. 23 Michigan State in the Black Coaches' Association Classic.
Sunday, Purdue plays at Southern California, where coach Paul Hackett replaces the fired John Robinson, in the Pigskin Classic.
"It's a little like a bowl game atmosphere," Seminolens coach Bobby Bowden said. "We'll go to the Meadowlands, take a tour, see the Statue of Liberty ... but our preparation has been like it would be for any opening ball game."
The flurry of games ends Monday night, when No. 2 Florida State plays No. 14 Texas A&M in the Kickoff Classic at Giants Stadium.
The Cornhuskers, favored by nearly five touchdowns, are coming off a perfect season and co-national title. But there are holes to fill. Usually, the transition is a smooth one, but with a new coach there could be a few bumps in the road.
Sophomore Bobby Newcombe replaces Scott Frost at quarterback, with DeAngelo Evans (rarely 100 percent healthy) at linebacker and four new offensive linemen. Newcombe, who excelled as a wingback and return man in '97, may be the quickest quarterback ever at Nebraska.
On defense, the Cornhuskers have Mike Rucker stepping in for departed All-American end Grant Wistrom and a secondary led by cornerback Rahb Brown.
"It's a little like a bowl game atmosphere."
The Bulldogs, 9-2 in '97, won't be a
Bobby Bowden Florida State coach
pushover. With last year's total offense leader Tim Rattay throwing to Troy Edwards, the 'Huskers face problems similar to the ones Daume Culpeber of Central Florida posed.
Culpepper threw for 318 yards and touchdown, and the Knights led 17-14 at the half before falling 38-24. Rattay is capable of putting up big numbers against the Huskers.
In the Kickoff Classic, 26-year-old Chris Weinke opens at quarterback for the Seminoles. Weinke, who spent six years playing baseball in the Toronto Blue Jays' organization, starts in place of Dan Kendra, out for the season with a knee injury.
"It's hard to say exactly what I'm going to be feeling," the 6-foot-5-inch, 225-pound Weinke said of his first start since a high school playoff game in 1989. "I'll be nervous. Anyone who says they're not going to be nervous for a game of this magnitude is going to be lying. I don't know how I'm going to react. For the most part I'm a calm guy, but this is something I've been waiting eight years for."
The picks:
Louisiana Tech (plus 34 1/2) at No. 4 Nebraska (tomorrow) — 'Huskers new coach Frank Solich has successful debut, but may have some anxious moments. ... NEBRASKA 42-21.
Purdue (plus 7/1/2) at Southern California (tomorrow) — USC is counting on highly-touted quarterback Mike VanRaaphorst to give coach Paul Hackett a win in his Trojan debut. ...USC 31-17.
No. 15 Colorado State (plus 41/2) at No. 23 Michigan State (Sunday) -- Running back Sedrick Irvin needs help from his Spartan teammates. ... MICHIGAN STATE 28-21.
No. 2 Florida State (minus 14 1/2)
vs. No. 14 Texas A&M — With running backs Travis Minor and wide receiver Peter Warrick, the Seminoles won't need gigantic effort from new quarterback Chris Weinke . . . FLORIDA STATE 41-14.

Rusty Wallace stays optimistic
NASCAR
The Associated Press
LOUDON, N.H. — A glance at his record would make it easy to say that Rusty Wallace's best days are behind him.
Those things are said when a driver dominates a circuit for a few seasons and then can't buy a win. And they are an easy sell to the skentics based on just one factor — 0-for-51.
But Wallace, whose 47 victories are surpassed by only two drivers still active on the Winston Cup circuit, won't let the second-worst drought of his career alter the thought that he will win again. And a close look at the standings backs him up.
Only Jeff Gordon, Mark Martin and Dale Jarrett are ahead of him, and three dozen others wish that they were doing as well.
"Failure is the path of least persistence," Wallace said, eliminating the notion that perhaps he isn't as hungry as he was four years ago when his position as the top driver on the tour was unchallenged.
"If we keep beating on the door, we're bound to knock it down sooner or later," Crew Chief Robin Pemberton said.
They hope that will happen as soon as Sunday when Wallace races in the CMT 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. And even if the streak reaches 52 races, stretching back to March 2, 1997, in Richmond, Va., Wallace has some success to show in that span — 18 top-five finishes, including five seconds and six thirds.
"We finished fourth at Loudon in July with this car," Wallace said of the Ford Taurus he used in the Jiffy Lube 300. "And I think that we've hit on something that'll make the car much better."
Wallace won 18 times in 1993-94. He was so dominant that competitor Ricky Rudd once said that Wallace should win every race.
"I remember several races through the years where we had a car that was that dominant," Wallace said.
Such as two years ago, in Bristol, Tenn., where Wallace led for 353 of 500 lans.
"If not for us having to come back from a flat tire and the way a couple of green-flag pit stops sequenced around, we might have led the whole thing," he said. "There's no better feeling than dominating a race and bringing home the win.
"What happens is that you get out there and everything clicks. The car handles like a dream. You can stick the thing anywhere you want. You get a rhythm going, and it seems like the laps just fly by."
But it's been a bumpy flight recently for Wallace, who has won but once in the last two seasons. There have been races where he's dominated, but somehow, something — a flat tire, a broken engine, an accident, being outrun late — has left him frustrated.
"There's kind of an empty feeling that you get if you're dominant and fail to put the big numbers on the board," he said. "You get a little taste of what they say about second place just being the first loser."
Coronado's Quest Victory Gallop vie for Travers triumph
Owners hold high aspirations for horses
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. — Victory Gallop and Coronado's Quest will get a chance to vote themselves as champion 3-year-old! tomorrow in the Travers at Saratoga.
The Associated Press
"I think he should be champion if he wins," trainer Elliott Walden said yesterday after entering Victory Gallop for the 1 1/4-mile Grade I stakes, which drew an eight-horse field.
A victory in the Travers, called by Walden the biggest race for 3-year-olds after the Triple Crown, would be the colt's fourth win in seven starts this year, including the 1/2-mile Belmont Stakes. In his other three starts, he finished second to Real Quiets, out of training with an injury, in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, and to Coronado's Quest in the 1 1/8-mile Haskell Invitational Handicap Aug. 9 at Monmouth Park.
Coronado's Quest, who missed the Triple Crown races, would take the division leadership should he score his fifth straight victory and also would show he could win at the classic distance of 1 1/4 miles. He has yet to run farther than 11/8 miles.
Art Preston, who, with his brothers J.R. and Jack, owns Victory Gallop, and Stuart Janney, a co-owner of Coronado's Quest, have said they do not think a loss would knock their colts from the 3-year-old championship race.
However, Walden said should his colt lose tomorrow, "I think he would have come back and win the Breeders' Cup Classic (against older horses Nov. 7) or so something special in the fall." He modified that by saying a loss due to circumstances beyond Victory Gallop's control would not be as damaging.
Aross probably would hurt Coronado's Quest more because Victory Gal
lop and Real Quiet have both won major races beyond the 1/8-miles, and in the 1/4-mile Kentucky Derby, Victory Gallop was beaten by only a half-length after racing wide all the way.
Should both Victory Gallop and Coronado's Quest lose, Real Quiet, who might not race again this year, would still be the leader of a very shaken 3-year-old division.
McGaughey, for one, sees the Travers as anything but a two-horse race.
"There are three or four in the field who could be very tough," he said. "I think Grand Slam will be tough, and I'm definitely worried about Deputy Diamond. Victory Gallop and Coronado's Quest are the cream of the race, but we're at Saratoga."
The track is known as the "Graveyard of Favorites." Even Man o' War and Secretariat lost at Saratoga.
Grand Slam finished a good third in the Haskell. Deputy Diamond finished second a nose behind Favorite Trick, 1997 Horse of the Year, in the 1 1/8-mile Jim Dandy on Aug. 2 at Saratoga.
Weight could be a factor in Deputy Diamond's performance. Each starter will carry 128 pounds, and Deputy Diamond carried only 114 in each of his last three starts — wins in two allowance races and the second in the Jim Dandy.
Another contender is Archers Bay, winner of the 1/1-4 mile Queens Plate at Woodbine near Toronto but a disappointing sixth in the Jim Dandy.
Also entered are Dice Dancer, Raffie's Majesty and Sheila's Flag.
Sheila's Flag is owned by a the Preston brothers and trained by Walden. He would serve as a rabbit for his stablemate. Victory Gallop is a stretcher-runner, while Coronado's Quest runs on or near the lead, which gave him an edge in the Haskell on a speed-favoring track.
Walden said he wanted to be sure the race develops with enough speed for a realistic pace to set up Victory Gallop's closing run, but he added, "At this point we're not sure he (Sheila's Flag) will run. We'll make that decision Saturday morning."
Sports announcer Keith Jackson retires from position at ABC
Post time for the $750,000 Travers is 5:10 p.m. EDT. It will be televised by ESPN from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Few announcers are identified as closely with their sport as Keith Jackson is with college football.
The longtime ABC announcer, whose booming voice and catch phrases like "Whoa Nellie" that often have been imitated but never matched, begins his final college football season Monday night at the Kickoff Classic. Jackson, who turns 70 in October, will retire after the Fiesta Bowl.
"When you are flipping around the dial on a Saturday afternoon and hear his voice, you sit up and listen because this game must be important," said Bob Griese, Jackson's partner for the last 11 years at ABC. "If Keith Jackson is doing this college football game, this should be the one I watch."
Jackson joined ABC in 1962 and has covered the big events — the NBA, the NFL, baseball and the Olympics — and the obscure ones — like wrist wrestling on "Wide World of Sports." But it is the 32 years of calling college games from small towns like Tuscaloosa, Ala., and State College, Pa., that is Jackson's true love.
Jackson, a walking history book on college football, remembers the great coaches, such as Bear
Bryant, the great players, such as Johnny Rodgers, and the great games, like the 1979 Sugar Bowl. But he also remembers the little things, like the band director at Penn State or the press box attendant in Iowa City.
"I like the ambiance that goes with college football," Jackson said. "It is a wonderful festival. I go to the stadium three hours before the game and watch the bands practice and the stands fill with four generations of fans.
"I know a lot of people scoff at it and people always accuse me of selling it and promoting it, but it is a very warm friendly kind of fuzzy feeling you get in most places."
His unabashed promotion of the sport and his pet phrases "like a hit as hard as blackjack pine" probably would not fly with a new announcer. But they are vintage Jackson, and they define and shape his telecasts.
"When I did news, you wouldn't know where I'm from," said Jackson, a native of rural Georgia.
"But when I started doing Southern games, I decided it was a colorful language. I know the words, the homilies, the reactions and how to make up the phrases. It sort of just grew."
Despite his love for the game,
"When you are flipping around the dial on a Saturday afternoon and hear his voice,you sit up and listen because this game must be important." Bob Griese
ABC announcer
Jackson said he thinks the time is right to leave ABC, with a change in management at the company and his 70th birthday less than two months away. He looks forward to ending the grind of weekly travel and visiting places he has never gotten to see in September. October and November.
His career will end with the first Bowl Championship Series championship game — a system Jackson thinks is flawed and should have four teams. Between now and then, he just wants to do what he has done for 32 years, call the games without any extra attention.
"The basic function is still to cover football games," he said. "The American public couldn't care about where I am going."
Nebraska will test rival's confidence
The Associated Press
OMAHA, Neb. — Nebraska coach Frank Solich told boosters yesterday that comments attributed to Louisiana Tech receiver Troy Edwards provided him with insight into the
um with insight into the player.
"Without question, to say the least, he's a confident guy," Solich said.
In yesterday's Omaha World-Herald, Edwards was quoted as saying Nebraska's secondary wouldn't be able to keep up with Louisiana Tech when the teams meet tomorrow in the Eddie Robinson Football Classic.
"I don't think they defend the pass really well. I honestly don't think they match up with our receivers," said Edwards,
TOM MURRAY
Solich: Predicts his defense will be ready to face Tech
one of the nation's top receivers last season.
Solich predicted his defenders would be ready
"I've seen signs in them this week of being the kind of defense we think they can be in terms of speed and quickness and racing around and getting to the football," he said.
Nebraska will counter with a defensive line rotation that will give significant playing time to several reserves.
Louisiana Tech went 9-2 last season. Solich said Tech's pass-oriented offense, which often featured as, many as 60 passing attempts per game, helped the Bulldogs outlast many opponents.
"We're not going to have dead football players." Solich said. "We're going to have some fresh people coming after the quarterback in the fourth quarter."

Football. Guns. Car racing. Save the world.
Home video games are the answer for some University of Kansas students who are looking for a little recreation and a lot of vicarious action.
John Peckham, Lyons senior, said that the Nintendo 64 system at his apartment was often in use. He shares the apartment with three roommates and spends as much as two to three hours per day playing the Nintendo 64.
"We probably would study more if we didn't play so much," Peckham said.
If sales of video game systems at SuperTarget, 3201 S. Iowa St., are any indication, Peckham and his friends are not alone.
Michael Payne, sales associate at SuperTarget, said his store barely could keep up with the demand for the systems since students started coming back to Lawrence for the fall semester.
He estimated that 15 video game systems per week had been selling, as opposed to the two to three per week the store normally sells. The shelves were cleared, but the store has restocked, Payne said.
Games used on the systems also are selling briskly. Payne said the most popular games for Nintendo 64 were GoldenEye 09 and Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball. For Sony Playstation, another popular system, hot games include WWF War Zone and Mortal Kombat IV.
Games sell for $39-$59 and appeal to a wide variety of interests, from sports to adventure to logic.
Peckham said he favored GoldenEye 007 and Mario Kart 64.
"GoldenEye follows the movie of the same name) really closely," he said. "If you beat the game, you save the world and get the girl."
Mario Kart 64 allows players a chance to control a video race car. Players can compete against each other or the computer.
Avid video game players also keep their eaves on the next game to purchase.

Sister Sohir Solamn
★★★ out of ★★★★★
Sister Soliel "Solarium"
Girl pop meets electronica in the debut release from Stella Katsoudas, otherwise known as Sister Soliel. Whether it is Internet harassment or good old-fashioned boy problems, the state of the world today has got this sister down. What better way to deal with modern problems than to caterwail over a modern beat.
A
Katsoudas has a Shakespeare's Sister kind of drama that makes you believe her angst. In "Torch," Katsoudas lets us know she's fed up. "I can't take it, I can't take it/Leave me a light on the porch/I carry a torch, I burn for you."
The album is spotted with transitional melodies that carry you from one heart-wrenching prose to another. An eerie piano interlude leads into "Chair", a testament to false believers. "You put him on a chair and
say he's great/And get right down to the god you made/And kick him out the very next day."
Katsousas hints at a new breed of pop that contains passionate beats and inhuman-like sounds. It was recorded at Peter Gabriel's
Real World Studio's, and his vocals are even on one of the songs.
But Sister Soell's biggest triumphs are on her electronic home turf. Her wailing has an addictive taste, but her attempts at different musical genres are rough, if not lame. Try her rap attempt on "AOL," her rebuttal against an evil posting on an America Online message board. "I got your little message on AOL/Go ahead use my name for your industry." Katsoudas squeaks over Casio Keyboard rap beats. She even tries a jump on the swing bandwagon on "Liar" that is void of style or class, which just goes to show that even a pop star can't please everyone.

★★★¹/2 out of ★★★★★
fourth album shows a growth in musician-
ship while maintaining lyrical goofiness.
"Dada" is quintessential quirk-rock, a mix of naive, goofy lyrics set against starry guitars and bluesy beats. Their shameless display of innocence in "Information Under-
tow" attempts to make a mockery of our media-saturated society. Dada poses the question, "Do people still wave lighters in the crowd?" (And I just thought they were making a mockery of themselves.)
"Playboy in Outerspace" is a cosmic rock tune with a touch of earthly fear. "I could be a casanova/If I could get out on my own/Get some darlings on a sofa/make them dinner make them moan." The California-based band may dream of their days in the sun, but their charm comes from their drippy guitars and silly loquiloes.
This is really not much of a change from their previous albums. Dada shows serious musical potential by keeping their rock 'n' roll roots, but for the most part their music remains a background for their silly lines. One stand-out is "Beautiful Turnback Time Machine." A propelling bass line drives under the universal wish to return back to high school and do things a little differently. These guys ARE rock stars, I just wish that they would act more like it.

City condemns students' house

(USPS 650-640)
Five KU students had a party last weekend to celebrate moving into their house at 1247 Kentucky St. This weekend, the residents were homeless after their house was condemned and declared dangerous to their health by two building inspectors.
An open sewage leak flows into the basement caused two of the residents to become sick. The residents said they called Lawrence building inspectors to look at the problem because their landlord had not come to see it.
After spending the weekend on the floor of a friend's home, the women are consulting Legal Services for Students about what action to take and where to live.
Katie Levedahl, Raleigh, N.C., sophomore, said that they would have to sue their landlord to obtain past rent and
their security deposit.
Friday, Kristen Ranus, a sixth roommate who attends Johnson County Community College, showed the house to Jim Sherman, city building inspector.
The small basement's sloping concrete floor had a few inches of sewage water, which covered a main pipeline and caused a mildew smell throughout the house, Sherman said. Each time a toilet was flushed in the house, the sewage went directly to the basement, he said.
"The main problem is a sewage leak into the basement," Sherman said. "This makes the house uninhabitable. The health department will concur with our decision to post the house."

Add/drop options shrink after tomorrow
Kansan staff writer
By Melody Ard
Tomorrow's end to open add/ drop at the University of Kansas' enrollment center will shrink the lines of students waiting to change their class schedules.
The add/drop option allows students to fine-tune their schedules by adding or removing courses once classes have already started. After tomorrow, students must have written permission to either add or drop a class.
Students aren't stuck in a class they don't want, or left out of a class that they do want, if they miss the add/drop session that ends
tomorrow. But they will have to get special permission or settle for other options.
permission cards," Brenda Selman, associate registrar, "September first is the expiration date for all closed-class openers, special permission cards and deans' stamps, so ones brought to the office must be issued after the first."
After the University's open add/drop period has ended, some schools change their policies on schedule modifications. Selman said.
Between Sept. 8 and 18, students can elect to use the credit/no credit option. This allows students to take a class for credit rather than a letter grade. Students also can withdraw from all courses in which they are enrolled at the University during those 10 days.
Amanda Adler, Wichita junior, spent part of Thursday afternoon waiting to add a math class.
"I'm adding a class with a closed-class opener," Ader said. "I couldn't get into the class that I wanted, so I went to class on the first day, and I have been going every day since."

Vestal pleads no contest in Rosel case
By Kelli Raybern
Kansan staff writer
Matthew Vestal entered a no-contest plea to charges of involuntary manslaughter on Friday and will face sentencing at 3:30 p.m. on Oct. 6.
Vestal, an Englewood, Colo., sophomore, was driving the vehicle that hit and killed Lisa Rosel, Overland Park freshman, on March 31. Vestal entered the plea on Friday afternoon. His preliminary hearing in the case was scheduled to start today.
ing in the case was so. David Achtenberg, Rosel's uncle, said that the family had no comment on the case. He said that the family would attend Vestal's sentencing in October. Achtenberg also had no comment about whether the family would consider a civil suit in Rosel's death.
In Saturday's Lawrence Journal-World, District Attorney Christine Tonkovich said that the plea agreement called for Vestal to spend 14 days in jail, served on seven separate weekends, and to undergo an alcohol evaluation and treatment.
Braxton Copley, staff attorney for Legal Services for Students, said that because Vestal has no previous record, sentencing guidelines require no presumptive imprisonment or probation. Vestal could face 31 to 34 months of imprisonment or probation. Copley said.
Police breath tests showed Vestal's blood alcohol content at 0.081. The legal limit for drivers younger than 21 in Kansas is 0.02. For those older than 21, the limit is 0.08.
Before the incident, Vestal was drinking at The Crossing, 618 W. 12th St. Rosel's companion on the night of the accident, Angela Boley, Lawrence sophomore, said that Rosel had been at Bull Winkles Bar, 1344 Tennessee St., before the accident.
Center to help students write the right way
The Lawrence Journal-World article reported that autopsy results showed Rosel had a blood-alcohol level of 0.097.

Writing papers can often require help.
Students at the University of Kansas can get advice on all areas of academic writing with a new program that starts Oct. 12.
"The writing center will be a place where students can sit with professional and student tutors, and, through an interactive process, facilitate good writing for all disciplines." Eodice said.
Five writing centers will open across campus at which tutors will help students with everything from a class paper to a dissertation, said Michele Eodice, assistant director of Writing Consulting.
Writing Consulting currently arranges writing workshops and presentations for students and offers help in all disciplines, with specialized tutorship for students in Western Civilization courses.
Tutors will not edit or proof-read papers but will offer suggestions about how students can improve their overall writing skills, Eodice said.
James Hartman, professor of English and associate faculty of Writing Consulting, said that the aim of the new centers was not to make just one paper better but to make students better writers.
Although other writing programs exist on campus, they are available only to targeted student groups.
WRITING CENTERS:
*This program will be the only one on campus available to all students," said Angela Place, graduate assistant at Writing Consulting.

The writing centers, called "writer's roosts," will be located in 4003 Wescoe Hall, the Sunflower Room in the Burge Union, Alcore G in the Kansas Union, Room 156 in Strong Hall and the Academic Resource Center in Templin residence hall.
Eodice said that students often had the misconception that working with tutors was cheating.
Susan Randall, Lawrence senior, has worked with Writing Consulting on her engineering papers.
"I was given very specific instructions on how to approach writing a paper," she said. "Once I did write a paper, I got positive feedback on what I had done well and on the negative criticism I addressed in the classes and workshops."
ing what we learn.
"What we will be doing is talking about writing," she said. We will show, not tell."
Randall said that writing skills were required not only in English classes but also in her engineering classes.
The center is holding an information fair at 4 p.m., today in the Sunflower Room of the Burge Union to hire students as tutors.

Attackers of Wegner plead guilty to battery
The two men arrested in the March 14 battery of University of Kansas quarterback Zae Wegner were sentenced to six months in Jail Friday.

Wegner: Attackers pleaded guilty to battery charges
pleaded guilty to one count of battery each, Douglas County assistant district attorney Jerry Little said. "Hopefully, they'll get the message that this type of thing will not be allowed," Little said.
111 outside of Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall, the Office of Public Safety said. Wegner was walking with a woman in the parking lot when they were attacked by the two men, Little said.
"They knocked Zac Wegner unconscious when they kicked him in the head," Little said. "They also pushed the girl down."
— Kansan staff report
He said Cardello and Grego originally were charged with aggravated battery, but agreed to plead guilty to battery.

Airline cancels flights after 6,100 pilots strike
Travelers grounded by the Northwest Airlines pilots' strike waited hours for alternative flights, rushed to rent cars or went hundreds of miles out of their way Saturday to get where they wanted to go.
Both the airline and the 6,100-member pilots union said that they were willing to resume negotiations that broke off shortly before the strike, but that there was no indication when that would happen. The union rejected a last-minute offer by the company shortly before its strike deadline of 12:01 a.m. Saturday.
Northwest canceled all of its 1,700 daily flights through tomorrow, said Northwest representative Jon Austin. International flights from Europe also were canceled for Wednesday.
Northwest is the nation's sixth largest airline in passengers and is fourth-largest in revenue. It carries nearly 150,000 passengers a day and 2.9 million pounds of cargo on 1,600 flights in North America, Europe, Asia and India. Cargo service had been halted on Thursday.
Before the strike started, Northwest
had canceled 400 flights for Friday and Saturday, giving many passengers time to rearrange their plans.
Butterfield Foods recalls dip and cheeseball mix
PENNVILLE, Ind. — A food company issued a voluntary recall Saturday of its beef and onion dip and beef and onion cheeseball mix after tests showed possible bacterial contamination.
Butterfield Foods general manager Daniel T. Ringlesbaugh said test results indicated the presence of Listeria monocytogen, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections.
The dip and cheeseball mix were shipped to retailers in 5- and 10-pound units under the Butterfield Foods label. Retailers package the dip and use the mix to make cheeseballs, so the product sold to retail customers is not identified as coming from Butterfield Foods.
Butterfield Food products are sold east of the Mississippi River, primarily in Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan and Illinois.
Consumers who are uncertain of the source of their dip or cheeseballs should destroy the foods or contact the retailer who sold the product, safety officials said.
Listeria monocytogenes pose a particular threat to children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems. Healthy people may suffer short-term symptoms that include fever, headache, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Listeria also can cause miscarriages and stillbirths.
Ringlespaugh said no illness or complaints linked to the dip or cheeseball mix have been reported.
Officials say hurricane not likely to reach coast
MIAMI — Weakened Hurricane Danielle crawled across the Atlantic yesterday, following a path that forecasters said would take it away from land.
Danielle's top sustained wind blew at 75 mph — the minimum for a hurricane is 74 mph — and it was moving toward the northwest at about 9 mph, the National Hurricane Center said.
It was expected to keep turning north and come no closer than 500 miles from the Florida coast, said hurricane center meteorologist Bill Frederick.
Although following a course similar to the one taken by Hurricane Bonnie, Danielle was farther out at sea, forecasters said.
Although not expected to threaten the Bahamas or the mainland United States, high waves were likely to batter the southern Atlantic Coast, forecasters said.
Danielle is the fourth tropical storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, which began June 1 and ends Nov. 30.
Dow stays above 8,000 after big drop Thursday
NEW YORK — The Dow held above 8,000 points, but that was one of few positive aspects Friday on Wall Street, where stocks extended the steepest drop since 1990.
Several attempted rebounds from Thursday's 357-point plunge unraveled as soon as they began, with the Dow Jones industrial average falling another 114.31 points to 8,051.68 points by Friday's close.
The low, which has fallen 550 points in three sessions, is now 1.268 points or 13.8 percent, below the July 17 record of 9,337.97 points. That is the steepest drop since a 21.2 percent slide triggered by the Persian Gulf crisis in the summer and fall of 1990.
just before noon, the Dow nearly traded below 8,000 points for the first time since late January, sliding 154 points to 8,011 points. Even with the small recovery, however, the Dow has seen this year's gain shrink from 18.1 percent to just 1.8 percent.
trading was heavy again, with 1.974 billion shares changing hands, the fifth-busiest day in U.S. stock-market history. On Thursday, more than 2 billion shares were traded for only the second time.
Friday's selling was not as ferocious on
Thursday, when the Dow fell 4.2 per-
cent, or 357.36 points, the third-biggest
point drop ever behind the 554.26-point
plunge last Oct. 27 and the 508-point
crash 10 years earlier on Oct. 19, 1987.

Rwanda accuses Congo of trying to plot coup
DURBAN, South Africa — A summit of nonaligned nations took a confrontational tone yesterday, with Rwanda reiterating claims that Congo plotted to topple its government.
Rwandan Foreign Minister Gasana Anatase told a news conference that its African neighbor — now engaged in a rebel insurgency of its own — trained 10,000 soldiers to unseat Rwanda's leadership.
Congo was expected to respond later and urge the gathering of the 113-member Nonaligned Movement to censure both Rwanda and Uganda for allegedly aliding rebels in their fight against Congo's government.
Congo President Laurent Kabila, who is not expected to attend the summit, has charged that Rwanda and Uganda are backing a rebel incursion seeking to unseat his year-old government. Zimbabwe, Namibia and Angola, whose presidents are among the 51 heads of state expected at the summit, have sent troops to back Kabila.
Both Rwanda and Congo had previously leveled charges, but the allegations gave an open atmosphere to the meeting, at which much of the business takes place in private.

Amy Allen, Chicago sophomore, said that although Edwards did respond, the residents questioned the legitimacy of the plumbing service he selected after the company drained the sewage from the basement into the house's side yard.
The Better Business Bureau did not have any complaints registered against Edwards or Jayhawk Property Management. Sherman said that he also had never had any problems with either rental owner.
Ritter said that the hospital could not be sure whether the sickness was caused by the sewage.

In addition to the $1,600-a-month rent, Allen said that she and her roommates spent more than $1,000 on small maintenance items such as new toilet seats, plus $300 for a phone line to be wired into the house.
"Ultimately we look like a bunch of suckers, but how can you expect a bunch of 18-year-olds to know anything about plumbing and electrical things?" Allen said. "We deserve to be able to breathe in an environment without getting some funky infection."
Edwards said that he did not think it was wise for the residents to go to the extreme filing suit.
"It appears that although the tenants are rightfully upset, their emotions or anger are preventing them from receiving the exact help they need in this matter," Edwards said.
Jayhawk Property Management did not return phone calls for comment.

Foreigners find local homes

EMADE·GREECE

Twenty-three years ago, Jo Ann and Gene Van Hoesen noticed an advertisement in the newspaper seeking host families for foreign exchange students. Because Gene Van Hoesen is Dutch, they decided to be host to a student from Holland.
"It's broadened our scope of the world." Jo Ann Van Hoesen said.
One student from Holland snowballed into a slew of students from 30 different countries. Saturday night, the Van Hoesens met this year's student at South Park along with 53 other families involved in the Lawrence Host Family Program.
The program matches international students at the University of Kansas with area families who try to expose them to American culture. The students don't live with the families, but see them frequently, said Rebecca Thesman, coordinator of International Student Ministries at First Christian Church.
"The idea is to be a friend to these students." Theman said.
This year, Theman said 200 families were involved, although not all were present at the meet-and-greet event. The program is independently operated but works with the International Student Services.
The program has existed for about 25 years, said co-chairman Lanny Maddux.
Munasser Al-Yami, Najran, Saudi Arabia, freshman, said he signed up for a host family to better understand U.S. society and culture.
Nicolas Hahn, Dortmund, Germany, graduate student, said he thought it was a great advantage to get in contact with Americans.
Howard Pollock, language specialist at the Applied English Center, said getting to know U.S. life was the main desire of most students.
"The biggest thing most of these international students like to see is an American home, an American family in action," he said.
Sometimes the students become a

Van Hoesens. He went with them
Saturday to meet their new student
"She adopted me," he said of Jo Ann Van Hoesen. "It's just like having parents here."
He said that during his time at the University, his country, Bangladesh, faced natural disasters. When he was upset about what was happening, he turned to the Van Hoesens for comfort. Khan now lives in Kansas City, but remains close to the family.
"We're so proud of him," Jo Ann Van Hoesen said. "We really want to think he's our son."
Van Hoesen said she liked the program because of its low-key approach. Although the program sponsors events during the year, most of the contact is through everyday activities, such as grocery shopping.
By doing simple activities together, students learn about real American life. Pollock said.
"Many of these students at KU in their four or five years will never see that," he said.
Host families learn also.
Host family uses it.
"It certainly gives us a different perspective on both our own culture and the culture you're hosting," said host parent Duane Goertz.
Greek members feed neighborhood
By Sarah Hale
Kansan staff writer
A simple "thank you" was not enough for two sororities and fraternities that wanted to show appreciation for their neighbors.
for their neighborhood Instead, the Greek members picked up trash around their West Hills neighborhood and fed hamburgers and hot dogs to about 450 people yesterday.
Fraternities Delta Upsilon and Kappa Sigma and sororites Kappa Delta and Delta Gamma sent invitations to their neighbors a couple of weeks ago to welcome them to a barbecue at the Delta Upsilon house.
"We wanted to show our support to the neighborhood," said Courtney Cotter, Wichita junior and director of special events for Delta Gamma. "We need to thank them for supporting us and the Greek community."
THIS was the first year the fraternities and sororities invited the neighbors for a barbecue. Cotter said she hoped it would introduce the chapters' members to the people that lived around them.
tough people to work with. For two neighbors, Bill and Jean Mitchell, visiting the houses was a flashback to their University of Kansas experiences. In the 1950s, Bill was a member of Delta Upsilon and his wife, Jean, was a Delta Gamma.
When they arrived at the barbecue and met the chapter presidents, the couple immediately began asking questions and thanking the chapters' members.
"One of the recurring topics at our homeowners meetings is how do we get these kids to realize they're part of this neighborhood," Bill Mitchell said. "And here they've done it on their own. It's not just a good thing, it's super."
The Mitchells said the West Hills Neighborhood Association was open to all the residents of the subdivision, including the Greek houses.

The barbecue cost the chapters about $1,000, said Lung Huang, Delta Upsilon president. He said the barbecue should become an annual event as a way of giving back to the community.

FISHING FOR STUDENTS TRULY A REMARKABLE CATCH!
NO SOLICITATION ON CAMPUS?
Robert Novak / KANSAN
Editorials
Student can fight back against pushy sidewalk salespeople
The beginning of the school year can be a very nerve-racking experience for students. A myriad of new faces, combined with re-acquaining oneself with good hygiene and good study habits can prove to be an extremely daunting task for many. It is on our campus where students might expect to find serenity from the daily grind. That is, until the first: "Hey! Take a free newspaper!"
It is a tradition on our beloved Mount Oread that every year hucksters descend on the University of Kansas in an attempt to persuade students to listen to a spiel, or possibly fill out some paperwork. As an added bonus, one might be able to get a South Park T-shirt or the *Kansas City Star*. Something for nothing? Students really can't go wrong.
That is, until they dare to decline an offer of undying goodwill. Often times, these salesmen cannot be content with rejection: "Surely you have a minute!" "C'mon, it doesn't cost you anything!" "You like John Belushi,
Sales groups are sponsored by groups or individuals within the University.
don't you?" It makes people think they did something wrong by passing up such an overt act of generosity.
This badgering is what is wrong with the booths that dot Jayhawk Boulevard. Most students have become callous to the constant "attention" given by businesses. The mere presence of these salesmen is not the problem. Simply put, it is the uninvited commentary during strolls from class to class by those looking to close a deal.
So what can people do if they are trapped by salespeople trying to shame them into buying something? Although some find solace in ignoring these people, some are inclined to listen to their rants with an extreme amount of patience. For those who cannot pry
themselves away from the announce, there are things to remember about these booths. There are regulations that each of these booths must follow when setting up shop on campus. The regulation that is broken most often is one that states that the sales people cannot be in front of their booths. This means that they cannot try to pick off potential customers from in front of their booths. If they are in the way, tell them that they need to move.
Perhaps the most important guideline to remember is that each of these booths are sponsored by someone from the University, whether a student group or an administrator. If these salesmen cross the line when dealing with students, students should ask the salespeople by whom they are sponsored and make sure to contact that individual or group. Students don't have to be pestered by these hucksters — unless they really want that neat-looking Cartman T-shirt.

KU bathrooms fail student parents
The University of Kansas is itself a community. As members of this community, we share a common goal, but our diverse needs compel us to seek representation among ourselves.
The University works diligently to address the concerns of those who make themselves heard. Unfortunately, there is one group of students whose circumstances make this difficult. It is composed of the nontraditional students. Many of these students have work or family obligations that make involvement in organizations that shape campus policy nearly impossible.
That is not to say that nontradi
Allen Field House, Memorial Stadium are the only on-campus buildings with changing tables.
tional students don't have concerns about the University. OAKS, a nontraditional students organization, has received several questions about bathrooms. Many OAKS members are parents of small children and would like changing tables installed in buildings where parents are likely to have children with them.
Field House have changing tables. This is unacceptable at a progressive institution, which purports to serve the community in which it exists.
Every day, parents bring children to see the University's museums, lectures and performances. Many of those same parents are forced to diaper small children in cramped bathrooms, either on unsanitary floors or unsafe countertops.
Only Memorial Stadium and Aller
The Regents ought to appropriate the necessary funds to make the University a friendlier place for student parents as well as traditional students. It's past time for a change.

Kansas ignores residents in the name of progress
Perspective
Kansas, in an effort to boost economic development, literally is selling the farm so that southerners can drive around in circles. Naturally, the farm isn't the home to anyone in Topeka, so it seems to be OK.
For those who chose to leave our fair state during the summer or for those who spent the summer in areas where the discussion concerned corporate hog farming, let me update you.
Rodger Woods
opinion@kansan.com
PETER MORRISON
International Speedway Corporation of Daytona, Fla., decided that there was not enough room for "the good ol' boys" to run and that a racetrack was needed in the Midwest. It found the Kansas City area to be nice.
The people were friendly, and there was a fierce competition for economic development between Kansas and Missouri. Thus, ISC launched a bidding war between Kansas and Missouri. In the end, Missouri won: Kansas got the racerack.
The package from the state of Kansas and Wyandotte County includes a 30-year property tax exemption, tax increment financing, special obligation bonds of $100 million and more than $10 million for infrastructure modifications to support the operation of the racetrack.
Proponents expect the track to create a payroll of $5 million and bring 224,000 visitors who would spend $283 million annually. This is great news if you own a Motel 6 or Hardee's in Wyandotte County. If you don't, you probably will never see your money again.
1. If this boondoggle goes belly up, who's stuck with the bill?
Here is a short quiz:
2. Who gets all the profits from the racertrack?
3. How can I get in on a business opportunity where taxpayers take all the risk, and I take all the profits?
The Kansas Supreme Court, in its July 10 decision of Tomasic vs. Unified Government, showed a startling lack of backbone by allowing the state to throw 150 people off their land. At no point did the court explain what the public use was, merely that it didn't understand the whole thing and that whatever the Legislature did was probably OK.
Let me make a couple things clear. First, I like
Give yourself points if you answered "Kansas taxpayers," "ISC" and "What kind of deal is this racetrack?"
The racetrack has to go somewhere, and somebody has to move. This is where the power of the eminent comes into play. The government has the "right" to take land for "public use" or for the "public welfare" providing that the owner is fairly compensated. How this deal benefits the "public welfare" is beyond me.
The state is paying the people 125 percent of the appraised value of their property. That is a moving gesture. I have a quilt that my great-grand-mother made for me. It's hand-stitched and probably would bring about $500 at a quilt sale. (Yuppies love quilts.) I am quite certain I would not sell it for an extra $125, and I would be very unhappy if I was forced to sell it — especially if that sale was to an out-of-state corporation that would make an astronomical profit from it.
Second, I have nothing against so-called progress. If a racetrack would be economically viable in Wyandotte County, let's build one. Better yet, if the racetrack is going to be so profitable, let ISC build one with its own money. Let it pay the real costs of offering people what they really want for their property instead of using the hand of government to forcibly move them off the land.
I used to drive dirt track at the Salt City Speedway in Hutchinson, (Saturday, Saturday, Saturday . . . Bring the whole family out for racing excitement.) Perhaps I am just sour because I don't enjoy watching "the big boys" and prefer seeing my dad race a car that he and my Uncle Larry on which spent weeks working or seeing my cousin吹 the doors off everyone in his division and win the grand sum of $150 for first place.
Unfortunately, this looks as if it is a done deal. Too bad, I kind of liked the farm.

Different forces impact paths in students' lives

The campus steam whistle brings me back to now. A young man pushes at the pedals of a red dirt bike, gripping the handlebars in strong hands as he struggles up the hill. I wonder how he will maneuver the steps. But midway up the hill, he veers off into the grass and follows the dusty brown strip of earth where no grass grows. A group of girls follows, treading single file as they take the worn path across the hill, and more people come after.
I sit as though in a daze, a lone college student on a bench at the top of the hill. A hazy distant fog of tissue blue cloaks
crest of the hill, marring a wide expanse of green grass. I wonder about the barren strip that surely must have been caused by water rushing down the hillside and careening into a slightly level area. It must have washed the grass away before splashing on down the slope. If left to the powers of nature, would this barren strip of earth eventually be dug by rainwater into a ditch? If left alone until the end of time, would it eventually become a valley?
the wide valley to the south.
I think about how that valley began with simple drops of water. How rivulets, then rivers, broke the soil and ran until there was nothing left. I am awed by the presence of the nature that holds the power to transform hills into valleys.

About midway down the hill just below where I sit, a strip of brown earth runs parallel to the
From the bench at the top of the hill on a warm August day, it's easy to watch the lifting of the distant morning haze. Daylight puts the world into a fresh perspective while the two kinds of paths below diverge into one simple definition: some by water, some by feet.
John is a Tonganoxie graduate student majoring in journalism.
For some of the students traipsing across the hill, coming to college came naturally, perhaps in the form of a blank check, perhaps because all their lives they have known that college was a thing that was expected of them. But for others, coming to college may have meant taking out student loans or convincing their families that a higher education was important. It might even be said that the first group took the path carved by water, and the second, the path made by feet.
The journey continues as we follow one path after another, often not thinking about where we are, or why, and sometimes even forgetting that the power to choose the path is ours.

Critic too concerned with character, plot
I think of my own life. A college diploma, an early marriage, babies. That was water—the things that were expected. But deciding to return to college at mid-life—doing nothing that was expected—that was feet.
This leads to thoughts about how some of the paths of our lives seem to have been formed naturally, like those made by water running downhill, and how others seem to have been made by the sheer effort of one foot moving in front of another, step by step taking us where we are going.

In reply to all of Jeremy Doherty's film reviews. Someone should pull the reel of film out of Doherty's backside. Or just shoot him and put us out of the misery of having to read his intellectually stuffy reviews of movies. Doherty's big disappointment is in the number of big special effects movies of the summer. In his review of Blade, Doherty tells us that we should expect a little more than blood swirling in a vampire movie. Why? The movie is based on a comic
book character who violently kills vampires, why should we expect more from the movie?
The same goes for films like Armageddon and Lethal Weapon 4. When I buy the ticket for these movies the last thing I expect is great acting, intriguing dialogue or an intertwined story reflective of human nature. What I want is a simple story, cheesy one liners, lots of special effects and a whirlwind of action.
I am just tired of critics who clearly have a predisposition to disregard certain types of film. Doherty, for example, seems well up on story and acting. These are fine in
movies that are shown for these talents. However, in movies like Armageddon I expect to see the same of what I saw out of Director Michael Bay back when he did Bad Boys: Twists and turns and lots of slow motion flery explosions. Doherty should be a little more realistic in his approach to film critique.
There are enough artsy-farty critics. He should disregard the pre-screenings, hold back to after opening weekend, take a friend or two, stuff himself with popcorn and have some fun.

KU professor earns medal in Europe for research on volcanoes
By Liz Wristen
Kanson staff write
Growing up, Terry Plank enjoyed playing with rocks.
Today, Plank, associate professor of geology, is in France receiving a medal for her research on volcanic rocks.
She is receiving the Houtermans Young Scientist Medal in Toulouse, France. Plank was selected to receive the medal by the European Association for Geochemistry for her excellence in studying the chemical
composition of volcanoes.

"I think I was probably fated to be a geologist," Plank said.
"Oftentimes, these awards go to traditional scientists who go out and bang on rocks. I do that, but I also do a lot of

work in the laboratory as well." Besides teaching two Geology 101 classes at the University of Kansas, Plank is preparing to serve next April as co-chief scientist for the Ocean Drilling Program. Plank will be assisting for two months on drilling in the Mariana Trench, located at the seafloor in the western Pacific Ocean. It is the deepest trench in any ocean.
Plank said that the program's findings might help explain what was causing eruptions in a volcanic region called the Ring of Fire.
In addition to the medal she is receiving today, in October Plank will receive the 1998 Young Scientist Award from The Geological Society of America for her work with the plata tectonic geochemical cycle. The award includes a gold medal, called the Donath Medal, and a cash prize of $15,000.
She was selected by the Council of the Geological Society of America to receive the award, which is given to a scientist 35 years or younger for outstanding achievement in geological research.
she is a remarkable person and an excellent teacher," said Tony Walton, associate professor of geology and chairman of the department. "I think it is wonderful that she was honored for her work at such a young age."
Plank is not the only geologist in her family. She said her mother's career in geology was one of the reasons for her interest in the field.
Plank has been teaching at the University of Kansas for three and a half years. She received her bachelor's degree in earth sciences from Dartmouth College in 1985 and began her research in geochemistry while doing her graduate studies at Columbia University's Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory. She received her Ph.D. from Columbia in geological sciences in 1993 before she had a two-year fellowship at Cornell University.
Obsolete containers could pose danger
Oil-tank cleanup continues
By Chad Bettes
Kansan staff writer
MN
A$108,060 environmental cleanup project beneath the surface of Mount Oread is about halfway complete.
The cleanup, which is taking place on the west side of Sunflower Road under the KU power plant, involves two old oil tanks that have not been used by the University for more than 18 years, said Bob Porter, associate director of facilities operations.
The tanks still contain some oil that, if disposed of improperly, could kill vegetation or harm the water supply. Porter said the tanks also needed to be cleaned up so the University could make long-range plans for the facilities plant.
The concrete tanks have a combined capacity of approximately 425,000 gallons and measure about 15 feet deep. They held a type of fuel oil that served as an alternate energy source when the natural gas supply from Kansas Public Service was interrupted, usually only during severe cold-weather situations. The oil provided a source for hot water and heat for the buildings on campus, Porter said.
The tanks were abandoned when leaks could not be repaired, but a small amount of oil, soot and water was left to be cleaned up later, Porter said.
The Mayhew Environmental Training Association contracted with the state to perform the cleanup of the old tanks, Porter said.
Newer oil-reserve tanks are now in use, giving the University a 450,000-gallon oil reserve near Sunnyside Avenue and Illinois Street.
META Project Manager Michael Osterhout said he was happy with how successful the cleanup had been. He described the process his company was
These holding tanks are part of an environmental cleanup taking place at the Physical Plant building. The tanks hold waste oil that is being treated with microbes and pumped out for disposal.

using to clean the tanks as bioremediation. It is being supervised by META environmental scientists and engineers.
In this process, META has pumped water, fertilizer and hydrocarbon-consuming microbes into the tanks. The microbes then consume the oil.
To speed the process, four large holding tanks were placed outside the facilities power plant. The contents of the oil tanks have been circulated and then pumped into the outside holding tanks.
Osterhout said temperature and air conditions in the outdoor tanks could be better controlled than in the underground oil tanks. The improved conditions allow the microbes to consume the oil twice as fast.
The only downside to the process is that the tanks emit an unpleasant sulfur odor, Osterhout said.
After the contents of the oil tanks reach levels determined to be safe by the government, they will be discharged into the city waste-water treatment plant. Osterhout said, where they will undergo the normal wastewater treatment.
Employees of META will go into the tanks for a high-pressure

cleaning with water and degreaser, Oysterhout said.
The fate of the old tanks has not been determined yet, but two options include removing them or filling them with sand and gravel, Porter said.
Porter said that money for the cleanup came from a Board of Regents fund allocated for remodeling and renovations of campuses across the state.
"Environmental work is not cheap." Porter said.
Porter said that his wish list for University improvements is $18 million long, but that the University typically is given somewhere between $1 million and $1.6 million a year for renovations and remodeling.
Street repairs may cause roadblocks
Paving on side streets in southwest Lawrence could hinder students
By Chris Fickett
Korean staff writer
Kansan staff writer
Starting today, University of Kansas students who drive to campus may have more to worry about that finding a parking spot.
Street improvements will begin on multiple side streets, mainly in southwest Lawrence. Terese Gorman, city engineer, said that the project should take about five days to complete.
Although side streets instead of major arteries—will be repaired, commuting students could face obstacles while driving to campus.
Gorman said that the streets scheduled for improvement would be milled and paved. Milling is a process that tears up the existing asphalt. After all the streets have been milled, then the paving process will begin.
Access to driveways along streets that are being milled also could be blocked. Likewise, cars
could be forced to take a detour while a milling machine tears up the street or while the new asphalt is being laid.
Joshia Gaume, Osage City sophomore, said that because students were back for the fall semester, he would be using side streets to get around town.
He said he wished that the city would improve side streets in his neighborhood this week as well.
Gaume said that Mississippi Street between Sixth Street and Ninth Street had a lot of potholes and was uneven.
Gaume said that driving on these streets involved more that looking out for other vehicles and pedestrians.
"I if want to test out my suspension, then I go down one of those streets," he said.
Lindsey Young, Bazine senior, who lives on Tennessee Street, said that she had to struggle to avoid bumps and potholes as she drove.
Some of the streets down here are so bad that you have to go 10 miles per hour down them," she said.
"It's like mines out there, so you have to drive to avoid them," he said.

Band brings the funk to Granada

Dr. Zhivegas satisfies crowd with blend of '70s music during Saturday-night show
Students grooved to some '70s funk during the Dr. Zhivegas show at the Granada Saturday
night.
Dr. Zhivegas, a St. Louis band that covers disco songs from the '70s and '80s, has been playing together for 21/2 years. The band has developed a large following

while touring the Midwest, including shows in Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City.
"No one intended us to get this big," said Eric Rhodes, saxophonist.
The band played everything from David Bowie to Prince Saturday night.
Many students dressed in their best thrift-store disco attire. Scott Blomquist, Chicago senior, fashioned himself with a large, blond Afro.
Half Hartis, Lenene senior, wore a butterfly-collar shirt that resembled an outfit from Saturday Night Fever.
"I love the '70s," Hartis said. "I love the drugs, funk and clothes." Dr. Zhivegas played for two hours.
Audience members said the dancing wore them out.
Kurt Zschietzschmann, Stilwell senior, was impressed with the length of the performance.
"I have never seen a show with so much intensity, Zschietschmann said. "I thought it was never going to end."
Blomquist, who has attended several Dr. Zhivegas shows, said this was the best show he had seen.
"The crowd got into it a lot more." Blomquist said.
"We love them," said Chris Krieger, kevboardist.
Several band members said they thought the crowd at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., was one of the best they had played for.
Dr. Zhivegas enjoyed the audience so much they attended a Dr. Zhivegas party after the concert
The band is working on an album featuring original music that might be released by Halloween.

Rock climbing pushes students to new heights
By Pallavi Agarwal
Kansan staff writer
There has to be something unusual about rock climbing, for a group of University of Kansas students to go on two rock-climbing trips during the first month of the semester.
The KU Rock Climbing club will spend Labor Day weekend rock climbing in Colorado.
"It makes me feel clear. It's challenging mentally and physically," said Shannon Agee, Helena, Montana, freshman.
It spent last Saturday scaling Cliff Drive, a Kansas City, Mo., 20-foot rock bluff, where beginners learned the basics of rock climbing.
Students learned different rappelling techniques and how to set up a top rope, which is a rope that is pitched above the climber.
Many of the new club members are beginners, and although the trips seem daunting to them, members climb at a common ability level, said club president Chris Kemler.
Jennifer Ashby, Wichita junior,
made her first rock-climbing trip in September.
"The first time I went rock climbing, every five feet I would say,' I can't do it," she said. "But they did not let me quit."
Ashby has since scaled rock faces in New Mexico and Iowa.
The personal challenge of finding the perfect hole in the rock and iron worming — a term used by climbers for scaling — to the top is an adrenaline rush, Ashby said.
For Agee, who has been rock climbing for four years, joining the
club helps bring her closer to her Montana home.
"In the Midwest, there are not so many mountains. Besides, through the club, I can also meet people who have the same interests," she said.
The club charges $25 a semester. Members can borrow climbing equipment from the club for free. Most of the expenses from climbing trips are paid for by the students, Kemler said.
"We are paying for the gas for the Colorado trips. As for the camping gear, students normally have that. We would pay for the food if we could." he said.

For probably the first time since he arrived here, football coach Terry Allen was talking, but nobody, not even his players, was listening.
Or rather, nobody was hearing.
O'Raffner, nobody was near fig. During last night's Kansas football Get Ready Rally at Memorial Stadium, technical difficulties with the sound system caused Allen to repeat words, phrases and even entire speeches.
But that was a minor setback at the event, which drew about 7,000 people.
With the football team seated in front of the makeshift stage, Allen, Athletics Director Bob Frederick and Chancellor Robert Hemenway addressed the crowd.
"This will be the last time you will see them on their butts the rest of the season," Hemenway said. "They'll be standing tall from here on out."
After Allen introduced the team captains — safety Michael Allen, linebacker Pat Brown, offensive lineman Justin Glasgow and quarterback Zac Wegner — the freshman football players ended the rally by belting out a hearty rendition of the KU fight song.
Parents, children, Lawrence residents and KU students were in attendance for the event that officially kicks off the 1996 football sea

Senior's return to mound vital to team's success
By Chris Hopkins
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas softball team has set its roster and is preparing for the first game of the fall season.
Games played in the fall count against the number of games the team is allowed to play but do not show up on the team's record.
Of 11 walk-ons who tried out for the team, head coach Tracy Bunge kept four: Erin Garvey, Olathe junior, Allison Arvey, Chicago freshman, Ashley Ballestrele, Topeka sophomore and Dawn Lenard, Franktown, Colo., junior.
Bunge has 19 players on the roster, which is the most she has ever had. Only 18 are allowed to travel with the team to away games.
Bunge said that part of the reason for the large team is to be better prepared for
injuries.
"We've had depth problems the last two years," Bunge said.
years. Bungee The depth problem reached a peak last season when Sarah Workman, the best pitcher on the 1996-1997 team, injured her throwing arm in January and was unable to play the entire spring season.
Both of the tournament losses came on last inning home runs.
The injury forced Bunge to use a rotation of Jessica Kowal, Christy McPhail, who was originally recruited to play outfield and often-injured Courtney Wilson, who has since left the team for personal reasons.
sons:
The Jayhawks struggled to earn the sixth and final guaranteed position in the Big-12 tournament. They left the tournament after three games, losing to Texas A&M, beating Baylor, and losing to Oklahoma State.
Although Texas A&M and Oklahoma State both played in the College World Series, that was little consolation for Bunge.
Bunge.
"Without Sarah, we still had the potential and the talent to make the (NCAA) tournament," said Bunge.
the team finished with a final record of 28-34, a drop from their 1997 season record of 38-23. The team went 11-0 during the fall of 1997, when Workman was still pitching.
The biggest step towards that goal will be Workman's recovery. She has a muscle tear in her biceps. Her injury was so rare that none of the six physicians Workman

visited had ever heard of a similar case, said Carol Jarosky, team trainer.
Rather than tearing across the grain, like almost all muscle tears. Workman's injury was along the grain. The blood flow to this area is minimal, making it difficult to heal.
Doctors analyzed Workman's lifestyle, asking whether her KU-record 311.2 innings pitched in 1996-1997 had an effect and whether she was compensating for her vegetarianism with enough protein supplements.
Workman said a cause for the injury had yet to be found.
"Your guess is as good as mine," she said. Workman can now throw 100 pitches a day with some wrist snaps. Both Workman and the team expect her to return in time for a tournament in Kansas City the first weekend of October.
Bunge said she hoped Workman would
pitch one or two innings.
Because Workman sat out last season, the team will have four pitchers with experience.
Kowal was selected as the team's most-improved player last season, and McPhail also got some work on the mound.
With the addition of Melanie DeWinter, a Phoenix junior transfer from Glendale Community College, McPhail might be able to spend more time in the field.
The team also will be aided by the addition of Lea Tab, who broke the national high school record for home runs in a season last year, hitting 23 in 35 games.
Jo Evans, Texas A&M head coach, is expecting a challenge from the Jayhawks this season.
"I think Tracy's done a great job with the team—they've taken some real strides forward," Evans said.

The Jayhawks traveled to Springfield, Mo., Saturday and defeated Drury College 2-0.
Katie Lents, sophomore midfielder, put the Jayhawks in front in the first half on a shot from about 18 yards away from the goal mouth.

Coach Dan Magner said that despite Drury's counter-attacking style, he was pleased with the Jayhawks' play. He still found places the Jayhawks could improve before Friday's regular-season opener against Florida International in Miami.

Meghann Haven, scophomore midfielder, put the Crimson team up 1-0 after a give-and-go between Johanna Larsson, junior forward, and Melissa Downing, junior midfielder.
When the final whistle blew, the score remained tied 1-1.
After a pass from Downing, Haven's shot slipped inside the far post past the outstretched arms of Blue goalkeeper Katie Garrity.

Magner said that the focus for the week would be to practice finishing the ball, since this was what the team seemed to have trouble with against Drury.
"For the weekend in Florida, we need to work on our passing and runs into the attack," he said. "We had many chances to score against Drury, so we will work on finding the scoring touch this week."
Another player has quit the soccer team. Jenny Wallace, Overland Park sophomore, told coach Dan Magner yesterday that she had decided to leave the team.

Commentary
McGwire has salvaged baseball's crumbling rep
In the summer of 1986, baseball fans, especially those in the Midwest, had plenty to be excited about. Both the St. Louis Cardinals and the Kansas City Royals were at the top of their games, having just completed one of the greatest seven-game World Series in baseball history.
Both Kansas City's George Brett and Milwaukee's Robin Yount continued their charge toward 3,000 hits. Houston's Nolan Ryan added to his all-time
Pete Bore broke Ty Cobb's career-hits record.
One of the few downers was pitcher Joe Neilro, who was charged with scuffing baseball with sandpaper in his glove, but that just seemed an amusing side note.
All seemed right in the baseball world. Small-market teams were competing, players were staying with a team their entire career, and kids could pick any player (with the exception of Reggie Jackson or
Seth Hoffman
any of the '86 Mets) and have a perfectly acceptable role model.
But as with any good story, there is a definite turning point. I believe Major League Baseball began its steady descent the day Dick Howser, then the manager of the reigning World Champion Kansas City Royals, announced that he had been diagnosed with cancer.
diagnosed.
As a 9-year-old kid, I hadn't yet been introduced to the tragedies that are as much a part of baseball as hot dogs and peanuts. I hadn't been around for Roberto Clemente's plane crash, nor had I understood Roy Campenella's accident, and I certainly had never been hit with anything like Lou Gehrig's tearful retirement.
In the period between Howser's retirement and his death a year later, baseball was in a transition toward a gloomy future.
The next eight years wrote a litany of baseball woes far worse than anything before. Wheaties hero Pete Rose was banned from baseball for allegedly betting on his own team. Bart Giammatti, the commissioner who banned Rose, died of a heart attack. In 1989, an earthquake rocked a World Series game between the A's and the Giants in San Francisco.
In the early 1990s, the news was worse. The players went on strike in 1994, and, for the first time in
90 years, no World Series was held.
To signal that baseball had completely bottomed out, Roberto Alomar spit in the face of an umpire. Instead of apologizing, he told America that theump made a bad call because he was upset aboutthe death of his son.
In the dark years that followed, the iron-horse heroes of the 1970s and 1980s slowly started their journeys from the playing field to Cooperstown. Gone were the Bretts, Younts and Fisks. Taking their places were names like Rodriguez, Griffey Jr. and a kid named McGwire.
As a baseball card-collecting second-grader, the only thing I knew about Mark McGwire was that he played in Oakland and had a 1985 Topps Olympic team card. My brother will tell you that I immediately traded that card—now worth a fortune—to a pair of kids who spent their young lives plotting against me. All I got out of the deal was a bent-up 1984 Dick Howser card. I was a sentimental kid.
As McGwire's career progressed, however, I slowly became aware of his power-hitting potential. Since winning the 1987 Rookie of the Year award, Mark McGwire has poured out more than 440 homers.
In the last three years, during which he has remained relatively injury-free, he hit more home runs than any other player.
I don't pretend to be any sort of baseball scientist, but it's my assertion that had Mark McGwire stayed healthy throughout his career, he would be closing in on the 500-home run mark with a chance of breaking Hank Aaron's record before his career ended.
The point of this column isn't to highlight McGwire's achievements. Barrels of ink have already been dedicated to that.
The point is that, finally, America's kids have a ball player who is a good dad himself and can be looked up to. Finally, people are coming back to the ball parks, not just to see McGwire — though he is a guaranteed draw — but to watch baseball in general.
For that feat alone, Mark McGwire's place in the Hall of Fame should be assured.
Hoffman is a Lenexa junior in journalism.
Mad Mac: McGwire ejected
Argument over strike call ends slugger's day
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — Just because Mark McGwire threw a bit of a tantrum does not mean the homerun chase is getting to him.
McGwire was able to shrug off his ejection in the first inning of Saturday's game, staying loose as he entered last night's game against the Atlanta Braves.
With 54 home runs, McGwire needs only eight more to break Roger Maris' record for home runs in a single season. In chasing the record, McGwire has learned how to keep things casual. Friday night, he spent time playing table tennis with his 10-year-old son, Matthew, and ioking with visitors.
A few hours after being ejected for arguing a called third strike in the first inning Saturday, he was glib enough to blame it all on a pregame chat with Indiana men's basketball coach Bobby
Knight
MeGwire is not about to apollo gize for showing some fire on the
field, much less drawing a line in the dirt with his bat during the argument with rookie ampire Sam Holbrook, which led to McGwire's third ejection in two seasons.
YA
"I thought it was ball four."
McGwire said that this sort of thing was not rare in baseball. He said he knew it was big news only because he is eight home runs away from breaking baseball's most hallowed record.
McGwire: Thrown out of game after arguing call
"In the heat of competition, he threw me out of the ball game."
McGwire said he did not need or want any favors.
McGwire said. "And I let him know what I thought. Period."
McGwire said. "He's not going to be back behind the plate thinking, 'Oh, I can't throw him out.' I have a thing to do, he has a thing to do. Did I cross the line? Yeah, I probably crossed the line, and I own up to it."
"it's part of the game," he said. "It happened. Let it die. It's just one game."
About 30 minutes after getting kicked out, he was ready to move on.
Manager Tony La Russia did not mind that McGwire blew off some steam.
"For a number of years, big-league baseball has come across as too cool," La Russa said. "Managers are always talking to their players about playing harder, which means, get your emotions into it. He responded emotionally. I think that's fine. He cared about that at-bat."
La Russa said that if he were the umpire, he probably would have thrown out McGwire, because Holbrook gave McGwire three warnings before ejecting him.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Aug. 31).
love's on your agenda this year. By now you should have a clue as to whom your emotions will be directed. Your life is disrupted in December, but by January you should be discussing future dreams. Get to work on them in February and you'll be ready to grant your mate's request by March. Romance and travel are linked in May, and that's a great time for commitment. A hassle in July can turn out well. It's just that more work is required.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 7
Today's a good day for making money. This condition will increase as the day goes on, so while the usual advice is to take
action early in the morning, now just the opposite is true. Hold off until later. Your best time to ask for a raise may come after the work is done, not before.

If you're looking for a better job, get your applications out today. There's an opportunity right now to use your natural

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6
Other people's needs and wants will take up most of your day, but you can schedule private time tonight. Be particular about whom you ask
to join you. An old friend would be best, somebody you don't have to explain everything to. Relax in the fond memories even as you make new ones.

Injury may sideline 'Husker quarterback for UAB game
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — What appeared to be a slight knee injury for heralded Nebraska quarterback Bobby Newcombe could be more serious than initially thought.
Nebraska quarterbacks coach Turner Gill said that Newcombe was listed as doubtful for next week's game against Alabama-Birmingham because of a slight tear to his posterior cruciate ligament.
N
Newcombe suffered the injury in the third quarter of Saturday's 56-27 victory over Louisiana Tech. At first, the injury was thought to be only a knee sprain and Newcombe continued to play.
Newcombe, a sophomore who played wingback and returned punts last season, was making his debut at quarterback against the Bulldogs. He was hurt on an option play after pitching to Dan Alexander, who scored on a 4-yard run.
"He said he got hit or fell on the knee," Gill said. "After that play, he came over to the sideline and said he had some pain or stiffness
in the knee. He still played one or two more series."
Gill said the staff expected to know more by today about
Newcombe's condition. He said that the injury wouldn't require surgery but that if Newcombe's knee swelled, next week's start will probably go to freshman Eric Crouch.
"We'll just see how it goes," Gill said. "We're saddened by it. Bobby had an outstanding ball game against Louisiana Tech."
Newcombe completed 9 of 10 passes for 168 yards, including a 46-yard touchdown to Sheldon Jackson on Nebraska's third play. Newcombe also carried 12 times for 12 yards.
Crouch took over the offense midway through the fourth quarter Saturday. Gill said that at the time, coaches just wanted Crouch to get some snaps.
Although Crouch redshirted last season, Gill said the coaching staff
is confident he could step in immediately.
"We feel very comfortable if we have to go with Eric Crouch as our starter against A l a b m a - Birmingham," Gill said.

introduced and sophomore Jay Runny. The Cornhuskers also have junior Frankie London, who backed up Scott Frost last season and was listed as the top quarterback going into spring practice before losing out to Newcombe and Crouch.
Gill said he was unsure whether London would return to quarterback duty.
"I haven't really thought about that," he said. "In the back of my mind, yeah, we've got Frankie London and he has played quarterback. But there's been no decision."

Seminoles set to battle Aggies
The Associated Press
R. C. Slocum.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Although Chris Weinke will start for the first time in nearly nine years, the Florida State quarterback knows exactly what to expect in tonight's Kickoff Classic.
"They will come after me. They know I have no game experience," said Weinke, the 26-year-old sophomore set to lead the No.4 Seminoles against No.14 Texas A&M at Giants Stadium.
"I think it's really going to test these young players of ours," Slocum said.
Weinke, though, has a team loaded with stars such as wide receiver Peter Warrick and tailback Travis Minor, and Bobby Bowden, who begins his 23rd season as coach of the Seminoles.
ATM
"If they bring everyone and blitz us, they're going to leave someone open. And we have a lot of big-play guys." Weinke said.
That's what worries Aggies coach
"They don't have any idea about what they're fixing to get into."
The Aggies are coming off a 9-4 season that ended with losses to Nebraska in the Big 12 title game and UCLA in the Cotton Bowl. The Seminoles, ranked second behind Ohio State, were 11-1 last season and had a run at the national title until losing to Florida in the final game of the regular season. This is the 11th straight season Florida State starts the season ranked among the top four teams.
Florida State is favored by two touchdowns, and even Slocum sounds resigned to an season-opening loss.
prised if Florida State beats us because they beat just about everyone they've played in the last 10, 11 years," Slocum said. "We're going to make this a positive experience."
Whether they do depends on a defense led by linebacker Dat Nguyen and an offense featuring running backs Dante Hall and Sirr Parker, plus six other returning starters.
"I don't think anyone would be sur
"I wish they didn't have him," Bowen said of Nguyen, a 61-yard, 213-pound inside linebacker who had a record-setting 20 tackles against UCLA.
Brandon Stewart is back for his final season at Texas A&M. Stewart threw for 1,360 yards and 10 touchdowns in 1997.
Both teams are making their second appearance in the Kickoff Classic: Texas A&M lost to Nebraska 23-14 in the 1988 game and the Seminoles beat Kansas 42-0 in 1993 en route to their national title season.
