On June 6, Templin Hall became home to 270 students who will be taking classes and conducting undergraduate research this summer.
Most summer residents of Templin, 1515 Engel Road, are participants in various conferences held by the University of Kansas. Conferences include the Kansas Orientation Program for Engineers, International College English and REU, an undergraduate research group studying chemistry, biochemistry and pharmaceutical chemistry.
Sixty Templin residents are Freshman Summer Institute students. The program provides incoming freshmen an opportunity to adjust to campus without the burden of a full load.
THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
People using campus phones will still be able to dial other campus phones using the last five digits of the number.
"The Freshman Summer Institute gives students a chance to find out how the halls work and at the same time learn what college is like," said Laura Bennett, assistant complex director at Templin. "Living here for the summer will definitely make the transition from home to college easier."
For many incoming freshmen, the advantages of living in Templin and attending classes at KU this summer far
outweigh the disadvantages of giving up their last summer at home.
"I wanted to get more acquainted with campus and I didn't want to feel apprehensive when I got there," said Jordan Stewart, Topeka freshman. "I felt this was a good opportunity to learn more about college life and activities and also to get to know people."
For most Freshman Summer Institute students this summer is their first time away from home.
"It is kind of scary to be out on my own," Stewart said. "My life really is in my own hands now."
Abdullah Al-Zahrani, Saudi Arabia freshman, is living in Templin for the summer and will also live in Templin in the fall. Not only is this his first time away from home, but it is also his first time in the United States.
Al-Zahrani, who received a computer science scholarship from the University, said he chose to attend KU without ever visiting the campus. He said he had been impressed by the pictures that he saw of the campus on the Internet.
"I came here to take classes for the summer so that I would have an advantage over other incoming freshmen," he said. "I wanted to get a head start."
Campus phone system adds new 312 prefix
oy Matthew Friedrichs
Kansan editor
Students moving into Templin Hall for the Freshmen Summer Institute were among the first on campus to receive the new numbers.
The University of Kansas has added 5,000 new phone numbers to the campus phone system. Phone numbers 312-0000 through 312-4999 will supplement the 10,000 current phone numbers that begin with the 864 prefix.
"We had to come up with a way that made sense," she said.
Elizabeth Pesek-Shields, equipment planning technician II, said Networking and Telecommunications Services would change the numbers to 312 for other on-campus living areas this summer.
The logical approach includes changing the phone numbers for residential students — who change location frequently — while freeing more 864 numbers for academic and administrative offices.
Anna Hines, assistant director of network services at NTS, said officials at the University were aware that the 864 numbers would eventually run out when they acquired them in 1986.
When the University began to approach the maximum number of 864 numbers, the decision was made to purchase the 312 numbers from Southwestern Bell.
Facsimile machines and the phase out of "key-system" technology — multiple phones that ring successively as more than one call came into the same number — were among the increased demands that necessitated additional phone numbers Hines said.
Lawrence considers bus system
Public clamours for new buses
By Phil Cauthon Kansan staff writer
Lawrence city commissioners will hold the annual budget study session this morning which, for the first time in 28 years, will include discussion of funding for a proposed fixed-route public transportation system.
Commissioners will review City Manager Mike Wilden's suggestions for raising the projected $1 million in local revenue needed for a new bus system. The money will likely come from a combination of increased property taxes, sales taxes and money reallocated from elsewhere in the budget. Wilden said.
Commissioners decided last week to begin work on a start-up bus sys
tem which would likely run at least 12 hours every day on four to six routes, said Mavor Erv Hodges.
A key question is what role the University's bus system, KU on Wheels, will play in the city's plans. Wildgen stressed that any system implemented by the city would be strictly compatible with KU on Wheels, meaning the two systems would remain separate but possibly connected by certain transfer points.
An early report by The Lawrence Journal-World that the commission's goal to merge the two systems alarmed KU on Wheels coordinator Holly Krebs, Krebs, Oskaloas senior, said she hope the city would cooperate with KU on Wheels to create a coordinated system where students and the general public could use both city and KU buses.
"The reason this is important is so that students still have control over KU on Wheels. We want to be able to
continue our services if for some reason the city decides to back out of public transportation. "Krebs said."
Hodges indicated that the ideal system would cover parts of the city not accessible by KU buses, such as south Iowa Street and maintain longer hours.
In April, a student referendum showed that 90 percent of voters would encourage city and state cooperation with KU on Wheels to create a city-wide bus system.
Recently elected Commissioners Dave Dunfield, Jim Henry and Mike Rundle all ran on platforms advocating public transit. Hodges said that, before their election, the commission didn't have enough supporters to pass motions seeking discussion of a new bus system.
"To me, it's always been a question of equity," said Rundle. "I feel like we spend millions of dollars on roads, so we should spend some of those transportation dollars to give access to
those who can't drive or don't have a car."
Commissioner Marty Kennedy said
that a few people have expressed concern with raising taxes, but most of the community has been quiet on the issue.

"I think deo-
"I think people understand that this is a service the community needs," Kennedy said.
Although recent steps represent the commission's most decisive decision on public transit in many years, there has been no formal vote on the issue. If the bus system is eventually approved, the earliest it could be up and running would be early 2000, Hodges said.

Malaysian student reflects on accomplishment
By Katie Burford Kansan campus editor
Earning the privilege to march down the Hill was a difficult feat for any graduate, but for the more than 300 international students graduating in 1999, there were additional hurdles, which ran the gamut from bureaucratic to cultural.
For Kwok-Chien Chan, a 23-year-old electrical engineering graduate from Malaysia, the most difficult thing wasn't communicating in English — it was the first language he learned and his parents' only common language — but rather adjusting to the climate. He hasn't forgotten his first Kansas winter and the bitterly cold wind he experienced walking across campus to class — quite a contrast to the tropical temperatures of his native land.
Chan transferred to the University of Kansas two and a half years ago from INTI College in Malaysia, which has a credit transfer program with around 250 American colleges. He chose the University because the price was affordable and he wanted to attend a large university.
"I wanted the exposure," he said. "I didn't want to go to a strictly engineering school because I wanted to interact with students in other majors."
Although Chan accomplished that goal, it wasn't easy.
"Americans value privacy more," he said. "It was hard to make friends because sometimes I felt like people would rather be alone."
Chan found it easier to make friends after he moved from McCollum residence hall into the smaller Grace Pearson Scholarship Hall.
But other interpersonal challenges remain — he still finds interactions with
the opposite sex perplexing.
"In Malaysia I had a lot more friends that were girls." he said.
He said that in America he gets the feeling that girls think he has an ulterior motive when he is only trying to be friendly.
Academically, Chan found that there was a big difference in the way that classes were taught here.
"Here students are encouraged to learn on their own. There, there are study guides, workshops and past exam questions available," he said. "Here it is more about reading the textbook and extracting information. There they memorize formulas, here we learn concepts."
Chan's parents, his mother especially wanted to come to see him graduate. But Chan is modest about his accomplishment, and he discouraged them from making the trip on his account.
"It's no big deal." he said.
Chan is trying to get a work permit to stay in the United States. Lynne Nahill, assistant director for International Student Services, said that the ISS office helped students who wanted to stay for work by helping them complete the necessary paperwork. Nonetheless, she said that the majority of international students returned home after graduation.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway spoke at a recognition ceremony for International Students on May 21. He said that he had great confidence in the future achievements of the 1999 international graduates. "I am proud that KU will be represented
"I am proud that KU will be represented around the world." he said.
Despite the challenges and adjustments, Chan said his relationship with the University had been a mutually beneficial one.

Graduates walk the Hill with wit and flair
By Katie Burford
Kansan campus editor
Graduates chose many different ways to express themselves as they walked down the Hulon May 23.
Two male students toted Jedi light sabers; two female students donned bejeweled paper crowns; a male student wrote "Will work for food" on his mortar board; a female student wore Jayhawk stickers all over her gown; another female student had a Barbie doll attached to her cap; and a male student wore a sombrero under his.
The mood was light-hearted and celebratory as graduates paraded down the Hill into Memorial Stadium for the University of Kansas' last commencement ceremony
this millennium. The graduates experienced their 15 minutes of rock-star celebrity as friends and family lined the ropes, screamed their names and snapped pictures while students filed into the stadium to "Pomp and Circumstance."
For some the march was closure enough, so they veered off before entering the stadium, skipping out on the ceremony.
During the commencement, student leadership awards, citations for distinguished service and awards for excellence in teaching were presented.
Chancellor Robert Hemen-
way also gave a farewell
address. He said that the walk
down the Hill was a metaphor.

KU technician released after rattlesnake bite
Eric Rundquist, a KU animal science technician, was discharged yesterday from the hospital where he was treated for a snake bite he received from a Western Diamondback rattlesnake Friday morning, a hospital spokesman said.
The snake was brought to the KU History Museum from Kanopolis State Park. Rundquist was using a stick to pin down the snake when its head got lose and the snake bit him on the finger, said John Simmons, collection manager for the museum. Simmons and Chris Shell, a herpetology graduate student, were present during the accident
"He (Rundquist) is extremely experienced in snake handling," Simmons said. "We all have training in what to do if someone is bitten."
Simmons said that they were trying to euthanize the snake. Western Diamond-backs, known for their aggressiveness and the strength of their venom, are not indigenous to Kansas, and by taking DNA samples, they hoped to determine where it came from, Simmons said.

Court dates set for campus cases
The following is an update on various cases that have been previously covered by the Kansan.
Gregory Hunsucker II, Olathe freshman, is charged with the rape of an Ellsworth Hall resident, the sexual battery of an Ellsworth staff employee and furnishing alcohol to a minor in an incident that occurred Oct. 17 in Ellsworth.
Judge Jack Murphy will preside over the trial, scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. June 16 in the Division II courtroom of the Law Enforcement Center, 111 E. 11th St.
Douglas County District Court Judge Robert Fairchild questioned the appropriateness of the charges against Constance Conboy, a secretary in the Office of Minority Affairs who is facing four counts of theft and two counts of criminal use of a financial card, at her June 1 preliminary hearing.
She is charged with two counts of criminal use of a financial card. According to court records, these charges stem from unauthorized purchases Conboy made on accounts that she was authorized to use.
The funds originally were reported missing Feb. 5 by Sherwood Thompson, director of minority affairs. The theft occurred between May 7, 1997, and Sept. 18, 1998.
Conboy is on leave without pay until the case is decided by the court.
Fairchild will hear arguments about the charges from both sides at 3:30 p.m. June 17 in the Division I courtroom of the Law Enforcement Center, 111 E. 11th St.
Aaron Culwell, St.
Francis freshman, pled
no contest to arson
charges stemming from
an incident in which a
wastika was found burnt into the hallway carpet of Oliver Hall in March.
Culwell's sentencing is scheduled for 9:15 a.m. June 24 in the Division V courtroom of the Law Enforcement Center, 111 E. 11th St. His status as a student at the University will be discussed at a July 1 disciplinary meeting, which will include an administrator, a faculty member and a student. Culwell and his attorney will also be present at the meeting. It is closed to the public.
Daniel Sailler, Overland Park freshman, appeared in court June 7 to face charges of dealing in falsely manufactured identification. His attorney told Douglas County District Court Judge Jack Murphy that his client would be making an application for diversion.
Police originally found equipment used for making false drivers licenses on Jan. 15 in a room at the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity house, 1537 Tennessee St. The officers were there investigating an unrelated report.
Sailler is scheduled to appear at 3 pm, June 16 in the Division IV courtroom of the Law Enforcement Center, 111. E. 11th St. If his diversion application is approved, he could avoid going to trial. With diversion, the charges would be dropped if he fulfilled certain conditions within a set amount of time.
Bill Nelson said that, based on the Lawrence Police Department's investigation, the University had determined that the false identification manufacturing was not a fraternily-wide activity and, therefore, would not have repercussions for the chapter as a whole.

Organizations have volunteer shortage
By Marta Costello
Kansan staff writer
When many students leave Lawrence for the summer, local volunteer organizations are left with noticeably less manpower and needs for more volunteers.
Many area organizations stress flexibility and teamwork to make up for the losses.
the losses. Being flexible is extremely important for the Big Brothers and Sisters, a program that matches volunteers with children in mentoring relationships.
Amy Knight, a case manager at Big Brothers and Sisters, said that as long as there was communication between volunteers and their little brothers or sisters, the commitment was flexible.
"It's actually very common for students to leave for periods of time in the summer," she said.
the summer. The students who volunteer make a one-year commitment consisting of a two to three hour meetings once a week with their little brother or sister. In the summer, student volunteers can leave as needed if they maintain strong communication with the children, Knight said.
"Staying in contact is really important even if it's just a postcard or telephone call," Knight said.
phone ban, Kingman E.J. Reedy, the co-director of the Center for Community Outreach which is a campus organization that connects students with volunteer opportunities, said that during the summer, work slowed down and programs changed in response to the void left by students who were away for the summer.
One such program is the Lawrence Summer Food Program.

"The Summer Food Program tries to fill a void here in Lawrence so kids get a balanced meal in the summer," Reedy said.
He said volunteers were only needed for about an hour between noon and 1 p.m.
In addition to being flexible, many organizations look to community volunteers to pick up the slack in the summer.
Marcia Epstein, director, Headquarters Counseling Center, said the center strived for a balance between student and community volunteers, but there was always a need for both.
"We welcome KU students, but we also need volunteers from the community." Epstein said.
Women's Transitional Care Services, a shelter for battered women, also looks to the community for help in the summer.
Rueneaka Baptiste, Children' Program Director at WTCS, said that because a lot of the volunteers were students, there was a decrease in volunteer hours in the summer.
"A lot of volunteers double up on shifts and take more hours in the summer," Baptiste said.

About 560 high school girls representing every county in Kansas converged on the University of Kansas Sunday for the opening day of Sunflower Girls' State.
Kansas girls practice politics at KU
During this five-day event, Girls' State delegates live together as a self-governing citizenship in order to understand and participate in the functions of government at city, county and state levels. The Girls' State community is divided into individual cities and counties, and the delegates elect their own city, county and state officials.
Girls' State delegates are living in McColum Hall during their visit to Lawrence.
"I came to Girls' State to meet new people and to get an introduction to government." Haden said. "I didn't really know what to expect, but I've learned a lot already."
If elected, Mathews and Haden will participate Friday in a mock joint legislative session on the floor of the Kansas House of Representatives with fellow Girls' State senators and representatives in Topeka.
Ashley Mathews, a delegate from Kiowa and town reporter for the Girl's State city of Apache, said she was running for a position on the Girl's State Senate.
Shilo Haden, a delegate from Pittsburg and citizen of the Girls' State city of Kaskaskia, said she was seeking a seat in the House of Representatives.
"I'm involved in parliamentary law at my high school, so I thought it would be fun to put my knowledge into practice in the Senate," Mathews said.
Tiffany Yearout, a delegate from El Dorado and a citizen of the Girls' State city of Cherokee, said she was running for secretary of state.
"I came here to get an experience of how government works," Yearout said. "I had a decent knowledge of Kansas government before I came, but campaigning for office was a new experience."
Dorothy Malone, Girls' State director of news, said
Both Yearout and Haden said they were interested in pursuing careers in medicine. However, Mathews said she was hoping her experience at Girls' State would help her decide if politics was the right career path for her.
there were about 60 volunteer counselors and staff members helping with this year's event.
"The counselors and staff are interested in government, and they want young girls to be intelligent voters," Malone said. "Some of these women even take vacation time to help."
Malone said that almost all of the volunteers were members of the American Legion Auxiliary, which sponsors the event.
Girls' State has been held in Kansas every June since 1939, except for the war years of 1943-1946. The first two sessions were held at Washburn University in Topeka. All sessions since then have been held at the University of Kansas.
This year's delegates had the opportunity to earn one hour of college credit by taking a course titled "Women in Politics and Government" taught by Diana Carlin, associate professor of communication studies.
cannot students. This is the first year that the University has offered college credit at Girls' State, said Jeanne Haas, director of Sunflower Girls' State.
Sunflower High School Other Girls' State activities include a bar exam, a talent show and the Inaugural Ball, which will be tomorrow night at the Lied Center. The week ends with a trip to the Capitol in Topeka Friday, where the newly elected Girls' State governor will address the Girls' State Congress.

New University staff take journey across wheat state
By Jason Beaver
Kansan staff writer
For the past three years, new staff members at the University of Kansas have been exposed to Kansas by participating in the Wheat State Tour.
This year was no exception. Janet Payne, assistant tour director, said the goal of the tour was to give faculty hands-on experiences in Kansas.
"The only thing most people can say about Kansas is that it is flat, and that is silly," Payne said. "The professors come back with a better understanding of the students, and that makes them better teachers. The bonding that takes place between faculty and staff is also important."
For seven days and six nights, May 21 through May 28, 54 faculty and staff members hit the trail.
The first of the 28 stops was breakfast at Chancellor Robert Hemenway's house.
Hemenway, who came to Kansas from the University of Kentucky, had promoted a similar tour in Kentucky. At Kansas, he also wanted staff members to get to know firsthand the state in which they teach.
Because 70 percent of the students
"The professors come back with a better understanding of the students, and that makes them better teachers."
Janet Payne
Wheat State Tour assistant director
at the University are Kansas residents, the Wheat State Tour has become a vital part of the new staff's transition to Kansas.
This is not a mandatory requirement for new staff members. Only staff members who signed up and wrote an essay explaining their interest in the tour were chosen to go.
"The joke on the bus were the 'magic badges' that we all wore," Payne said. "As long as you had that on, everything was open to you."
The magic badges Payne referred to were the name tags that all the members of the tour wore on their chests. For some, the magic worked.
David Bennett, assistant professor of geography, said he was interested in learning more about Kansas for his research for the geography department. Bennett, who moved to Kansas from Iowa, said he had spent most of his traveling time in Kansas on Interstate 70 and never had a chance to experience Kansas off the highways.
"I cannot say that I had one favorite spot during the trip, but I was always amazed at the hospitality of the people that opened their homes and businesses to us." Bennett said.
Ruth Ann Aatchley, assistant professor of psychology who recently arrived from California, said one of her favorite experiences was roaming with the buffalo near Keystone.
"It was wonderful," she said. "We got to run with a herd of buffalo on the great plains."
Paul Atchley, assistant professor of psychology, had another favorite.
“It's hard to pick a favorite spot, but if I had to, Big Brutus, the biggest steam shovel ever built, was my favorite.” Atchley said. “It was a clear day with a blue sky on the day we went up, and we could see the entire state of Kansas up there.”

Scientist searches for secret to honey bee survival
By Phil Cauthon
Kansan staff writer
On the scorching plains near the southern tip of Texas, an old semitrailer stands alone surrounded by miles of grassy fields and abandoned airstrips. Under the red lights inside, University of Kansas entomology professor and world-renowned honey bee expert Orley 'Chip' Taylor hunches over a microscope examining one of the 100,000 killer bees living in the trailer.
Several times a year, Taylor leaves the University of Kansas for the 20-hour trek south, where he hopes to find a way to prevent a parasitic mite from costing U.S. citizens billions of dollars a year.
African honey bees, also known as killer bees for their aggressiveness, have caused the deaths of nearly 400 Mexicans and a dozen Americans. Nonetheless, these lethal insects have the potential to save millions of dollars and millions of lives — those of their cousins, European honey bees. Taylor is researching why African bees such as his are relatively immune to a mite which is wiping out European bees essential for the annual pollination of $10 billion to $20 billion worth of U.S. crops.
Over the last 20 years, the varroa mite has virtually eliminated wild European honey bees all over the world and has only been staved off in beekeepers' colonies using a miticide. But as the mites develop a tolerance to the chemical, scientists like Taylor must figure out a more permanent cure or crops like alfalfa (used to feed cattle), soy beans and most fruits and vegetables will rapidly decline in step with honey bee populations.
Taylor gained national prominence when he was quoted in reports ranging from National Geographic to the BBC as killer bees began entering the United States in the 1980s. Now, although he said his group's study of the varroa mite was about four years behind other scientists, he expects his
method to produce a solution much more quickly.
"What we're trying to do is get at the basic interaction between the mites and the bees," Taylor said. "Virtually everybody that has a biology program involving honey bees is trying to select for resistance to these mites. But none of them are working at this level of detail."
While many scientists are breeding entire European colonies that have relatively high levels of mite resistance, Taylor hopes to isolate the difference between African and European bee responses to the mites. Because the African bees pose too great a health hazard to be used for pollination, Taylor thinks applying their resistance traits to European bees is the best solution to the mite problem.
To observe the bees away from the colony, Taylor is using a plastic pencil box, modified with feeding nipples and a tray at the bottom to collect mites as they fall off the bees — a technique called a bioassay. Taylor conducts short-term observations to determine precisely what causes higher death rates of mites on the African bees, thereby reducing mite birth rates. This would create a basis for mite resistance in the European bees, he said.
Working with KU graduate students, Taylor maintains six colonies of African bees and six colonies of European bees. Each has tubes leading out of the trailer into the open Texas air. Amidst the labyrinth of these glass-encased bee colonies, Taylor monitors 50 bees of both species over a 12-day period of exposure to the varroa mites.
Mite resistance in European bees could also be found through cross-breeding with African bees. Taylor is working with Mike Palmer, an entomology doctoral student from Newport, N.Y., to study wild killer bees captured in bait hives along the desolate stretches of southern Texas highways. If cross-breeding has occurred, there's a chance that a European bee with the African bees' mite resistance
"The mites can be in a colony indefinitely as long as their death rate is sufficiently high," Taylor said. "All the African colonies have mites, but they go on as if they didn't exist."
could be found.
The African bees do not succumb to the parasites because the mites usually die before they can reproduce. However, in wiping out the wild European bees, the varroa mite was able to move between a hive's brood cells — where they reproduce — feeding on the blood of developing bees. Taylor said. The mites then emerge from the cells attached to the young bees, spreading to other bees and repeating the cycle. Worker and drone bees that have been in contact with just one mite live half the life span required to effectively take care of the next generation of bees.
Palmer said that Taylor was very knowledgeable about the subject.
"Without a doubt, KU is the best place to be working on this project," Palmer said. "This is a very strong program."
However, funding for the project will end after June, and Taylor doesn't anticipate another grant. "It is extremely difficult to get money for research," Taylor said. "But we will continue working with the bees on a very cost-effective basis."
"There's big money in it," he said.
"Not for the bee keepers, not for honey producers or for anyone in particular except for the American public. We wouldn't have the diversity of foods — the fruits, nuts and vegetables — without honey bees."
Taylor said that it was important to come up with a solution to the mite problem.

Mir space station may be doomed to flaming end
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — Russia's space agency confirmed Tuesday that the Mir space station will be left unmanned following its crew's departure in August, the first step toward discarding it early next year.
By leaving it empty instead of abandoning it immediately, Russian space officials are putting off the painful moment of parting with Mir — the last symbol of the nation's space glory. Last week, 31 leading Russian space designers suggested that the station continue orbiting Earth unmanned until next February or March.
Sergei Gorbunov, Russian space agency spokesman, said the agency on Tuesday formally endorsed the proposal by the space designers, the ITAR-Tass news agency reported. It will now be sent to the Russian Cabinet and President Boris Yeltsin for final approval.
The delay is a last-ditch effort to raise the $250 million a year needed to keep Mir aloft. The Russian government has said it would only pay for Mir's operational costs through August, and efforts to lure private investors for further missions have failed.
If money is found, a new crew will warm up Mir again. If not, ground controllers will lower it to burn up in the atmosphere with some fragments falling into an uninhabited part of the ocean.
The American space agency NASA has long urged Russia to discard Mir so that Russia could concentrate its meager resources on the new international space station. Because of Russia's failure to build its key segment on time, the first permanent crew isn't expected to move into the new station until next March — almost two years behind schedule.
Refugees' journey deadly
The Associated Press
JAZINCE, Macedonia — With shoes worn through from walking, some wincing from bullet and shrapnel wounds, dozens of ragged Kosovo Albanian men sprawled exhaustively in a grassy field a few miles from the border with Yugoslavia. For them, this was the end of the road out of Kosovo.
Even as NATO strategists plot their troops' entry into the southern Serbian province, the exodus from Kosovo continues, with the latest refugees to make their way out yesterday telling of booby-trapped houses, mass graves and high mountain passes littered with corpses.
"The mountains are full of people, and conditions are terrible, terrible," said Ismet Nika, 47, whose feet were swollen and scabbed from the journey. "There were no small animals left in the forest, because people had already caught and eaten them."
This group—all men—had fled or been driven from their homes in southeast
Kosovo weeks earlier, they said. Serbs forcibly separated some from their families. Others said they feared endangering loved ones by staying together because as fighting-age men they were prime targets for roving Serb paramilitary men.
Nearly all of those interviewed in the group of 135 who straggled over the border before dawn near the village of Jazince told of surviving or witnessing killings of friends and neighbors at home or along the way.
"They didn't say a word; they just started shooting," said Muharem Nebihu, 28, who said masked paramilitary men fired without warning on him and four other men in the village of Vrbovac in central Kosovo last month.
Shot in the buttocks, he lay unmoving among the bodies of the others and was left for dead. Nebihu said. At nightfall, he crawled away.
Others in the group recounted killings of what they said may have been more

than 100 people in and around Vrbovac over a period of about a week. Afrin Becani, a rangy 18-year-old with blazing pale-green eyes and matted hair, said he ran when paramilitary men began shooting at him and a group of neighbors and relatives.
Bombs fall as Serbs stall pullout
The Associated Press
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia — NATO warplanes attacked targets across Syria yesterday in a thunderous warning to President Slobodan Milosevic to implement a Kosovo peace plan, as eight major countries unanimously signed off on a text meant to secure U.N. blessings for the agreement.
Besides drafting a Security Council resolution authorizing a peacekeeping force for Kosovo with substantial NATO participation, the G-8 group of Russia, the United States and six key democracies agreed on a NATO bombing pause — once Serb forces began a verifiable withdrawal.
The G-8 meeting in Germany and U.N. consideration of the plan hours later came about because of Yugoslav insistence that the Security Council endorse any peace plan for Kosovo and that 11 weeks of airstrikes be halted — demands backed by Moscow, the Yugoslavs' main ally.
"We got what we came for," said Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, suggesting that the draft's appendix that nailed down a dominant NATO role for the peace
force nad as much weight as the plan itself. However, Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov warned that his country — which has veto power in the Security Council — will not vote for the resolution as long as the NATO bombings continue, Russian news agencies reported.
NATO officials in Macedonia, meanwhile, announced that talks would resume tonight between British Lt. Gen. Michael Jackson and Yugoslav generals at Kumanovia, the border town where talks broke off early Monday after details of the peace draft upset the Yugoslavs.
But President Clinton made clear that palpable evidence of troop pullbacks was a must, saying only a verifiable withdrawal of Serb forces will allow us to suspend the bombing and go forward with the plan.
NATO intensified its air campaign, flying 658 sorties over the past 24 hours, alliance spokesman Jamie Shea said — a 50 percent increase since Milosevic accepted a peace proposal last Thursday that he subsequently refused to carry out.
ond-largest city, and NATO also hit targets near Belgrade, the capital, for the first time in days.
Serb media said one person was killed by a missile in Novi Sh, the country's sec-
The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe said Serb shelling of Albanian villages continued overnight, with shells exploding in the village of Llugaj, about seven miles over the border — one of the conflict's deepest cross-border shellings.
Llugaj is near Bajram Curri, a town that has been a major recruiting point for the Kosovo Liberation Army, the rebel group fighting for Kosovo's independence from Yugoslavia.
U. S.B-52 bombers pounded Serb positions for the third day near the key Albanian border point at Morini. There were unconfirmed reports of a large number of Yugoslav army casualties from the bombing.
China and Russia, in the meantime, demanded Tuesday that NATO stop bombing Yugoslavia before the Security Council formally adopts a resolution ending the Kosovo conflict and paving the way for 860,000 refugees to return home.
Policeman found guilty in beating
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — A white policeman was convicted Tuesday of holding down a Haitian immigrant in a stationhouse bathroom while another officer brutalized him with a broken broomstick. Three other officers were acquitted in the racially explosive case.
Officer Charles Schwarz, 33, sat impassively as the jury convicted him of violating the victim's civil rights. Schwarz was immediately taken into custody as his supporters wept in the courtroom.
The split verdict came two weeks after Officer Justin Volpe — the central figure in the trial — pled guilty to torturing Abner Louima with the stick.
The case against the five white officers heightened racial tensions between the police department and minorities and touched off several protests. But it also brought about the collapse of the blue wall of silence that keeps police from testifying against each other.
Schwartz and Volpe could be sentenced to life in prison.
Volpe rammed a broomstick up Louima's rectum as he lay handcuffed in a bathroom on Aug. 9, 1997. Louima suffered severe internal injuries, including a ruptured bladder and colon, and spent two months in the hospital.
"I'll say something that I've never said before: The jury reached the wrong verdict," said Stephen Worth, Schwarz's attorney. "I'm sure they were under pressure to convict somebody, but they got it wrong."
Louima, 32, was not in the courtroom for the verdict but said later that the decision fell short of what he had hoped for. Louima is suing the city for $155 million
"I am confident in the end that complete justice will be done in my case," he said. "I hope what comes out of my case is change."
Louima had provided some of the trial's most riveting testimony. He testified he was arrested, beaten and tortured in a filthy bathroom stall — an account bolstered by the testimony of four police officers credited with shattering the blue wall of silence.
The trial was interrupted on May 25 by Volpe's dramatic guilty plea. The stocky, square-jawed patrolman admitted brutalizing Louima in the mistaken belief that Louima had sucker-punched him outside the nightclub.

Coffee may lower risk of gallstones
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — A few cups of regular coffee per day might help prevent gallstones.
A study found that men who drank two to three cups a day had a 40 percent lower risk of gallstones than those who did not drink regular coffee. Men who drank four or more cups a day had a 45 percent lower risk.
But hold the decaf: Only coffee with caffeine stimulates contractions in the gallbladder and lowers cholesterol in bile that can form painful gallstones.
Exactly why is unclear. Caffeinated tea and soda don't have the same effect, the researchers reported in the June 2 issue of Journal of the American Medical Association.
"I wouldn't actually say we would recommend that people take up coffee just to prevent gallstones," said Dr. Michael F. Leitzmann of the Harvard University School of Public Health. "But it's OK to continue
drinking it. Coffee doesn't cause any other major diseases."
Leitzmann said lack of physical activity and being overweight are the two main causes.
Gallstones are painful deposits of cholesterol in the gallbladder, the organ under the liver that stores bile. They affect about 20 million Americans and cause 800,000 hospitalizations each year, researchers said.
The researchers followed 46,008 men from 1986 through 1996. The men, who were 40 to 75 in 1986, were participants in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, which is looking at diet and lifestyle factors and their effect on diseases.
Dr. Thomas Magnuson, a professor of surgery at Johns Hopkins University, has conducted animal research that reached similar conclusions about the link between coffee consumption and gallstones.
"But further research that is to be done to see what that link is and what it is in coffee that causes that relationship," Magnuson, said.
Breast cancer study released
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — A study of 37,000 women found that taking hormones after menopause does not increase the risk of breast cancer, except for some uncommon forms of the disease that are slow-growing and highly treatable.
Researchers said the findings are good news because they add to evidence that the benefits of hormone supplements outweigh any increased risk of breast cancer.
Millions of women take hormones to ease the symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes. The hormones are also known to reduce the risk of heart disease, brittle bones and possibly even mental decline.
Previous studies have indicated that women who take hormones — specifically estrogen — after menopause are more likely to develop breast cancer. Other studies have found no link.
This was the first hormone study to categorize cases of breast cancer according to whether they were
slow-growing or fast-growing.
"When a woman weighs the risk of breast cancer vs. the benefit of possibly reducing cardiovascular disease and reducing risk of osteoporosis, this just provides further evidence for the benefit," said Dr. Susan N. Gapstur, a cancer epidemiologist at Northwestern University Medical School in Chicago who led the study.
The study appears in today's Journal of the American Medical Association.
It may help explain the conflicting data in other studies and why hormone takers survive breast cancer more often than non-takers.
The researchers analyzed data on 37,105 subjects ages 55 to 69. From 1985 to 1996, a total of 1,520 cases of breast cancer developed among the women.
Women who took hormones and women who didn't had no difference in their risk of getting the fast-growing, life-threatening tumors that make up 85 percent to 90 percent of all cases of breast cancer.
Rite Aid sued for out-of-date supplies
The Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. — Rite Aid, the nation's third-largest drugstore chain, stocked store shelves in California with expired condoms, baby formula and infant medications, prosecutors said yesterday.
Prompted by a consumer's complaint in January, investigators found more than 200 outdated products in about 50 of the chain's 660 stores in California. Some of the condoms were four years past their expiration date. Merced County District Attorney Gordon Spencer said.
"What is most astounding and disconcerting is that Rite Aid did not alert their customers," Spencer said, even as they bragged in commercials that customers were the kev to their success.
Prosecutors from Merced, Alameda and Santa Barbara counties and the city of San Diego filed a consumer protection lawsuit asking a judge to order Rite Aid to make restitution to victims and to pay civil penalties, which could run to $2.500 for each expired item sold.
Prosecutors had no reports of infants falling ill from outdated products, but they cautioned that formulas lose their nutritional value over time, and that condoms and spermicides lose their effectiveness after their expiration dates pass.
Rite Aid said its policy has always been to pull items off shelves 30 days before they expire; last month, that was changed to 60 days. Karen Rugen, a Rite Aid representative, said the company also posted signs advising customers that if they purchased expired infant formula, it would be replaced with fresh formula free of charge.
"We're surprised and disappointed that a handful of attorneys have decided to take this action, despite everything we have done since we were first informed of the incidents," Rugen said.

Graduation
Graduates face future at turn of the century
ALEXANDRA CAREY
1. 一杯牛奶，一片面包
Continued from page 1A
Hemenway said that he felt especially close to this year's graduating class because he came to the University four years ago, when many of the graduates were freshmen.
Hemenway made reference to the traditional mortar board caps worn by graduates, saying, "How did we get you to buy those funny-looking hats?"
"For some of you, walking down that hill was a relatively easy task," he said. "These four years have been a steady march, a series of goals met, one foot ahead of the other. For others there have been stumbles and stutter steps, many obstacles, some financial, some personal, some academic. Some of you even took detours — detrous into marriage, into parenthood, into full-time employment — to earn enough to re-enroll. One thing that we all know, nobody walked down that hill alone. Friends and family walked with you."
On a serious note, he asked graduates to think about what
hats they would be wearing in the near future. Quoting Semisonic's hit song "Closing Time," Hemenway said, "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end."
After all the degrees had been conferred, the graduates enthusiastically tossed their "funny-looking hats" into the air. In a final display of school spirit, the crowd joined together for "Crimson and the Blue," "The Rock Chalk Chant" and "I'm a Jayhawk."
Graduates then streamed out of the stadium. Some said they had jobs already lined up. Others were uncertain about what the future would hold.
Clay Greeson, a Liberal biology graduate, said he wasn't sure what he was going to do.
GROOM 28 BRIDE 28
"But I'm ready to be done," he said. "I've been ready for a long time."
Top:Professor Robert Anderson gives the graduates some final guidance as he directs traffic on the field.
Another line from Semisonic's song echoed the graduate's challenge: "You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here."

OPTIONS A PLENTY Clinton Lake, Lawrence Aquatic Center and parks around town are summetime hotspots
Story by Matthew Friedrichs and Lisa John, Kansan editors • Photos by Lisa John, Jamie Roper and Roger Nomer
Summer highways are packed with minivans bursting with suitcases, inflatable beach toys and kids.
The smells, sounds, sights, tastes and feels — hot muggy air — of June through August are associated with vacations and fun.
Mount Oread is surrounded by summer activities. And it isn't necessary to leave Lawrence to get stuck in traffic created by the ubiquitous orange construction cones.
The University Daily Kansan editorial staff has created a list of some of our favorite area activities. This is by no means every entertainment option or venue, but it is a starting place for summer trips, leisure and
place it in a non-classroom activity.
There's more than one way to taste summer. Whether it's a smoky chicken aroma wafting off the grill, or the ocean-like salt spray from a homemade ice cream churn, the smells of summer food can make people salivate with hunger.
Slice of life
The variety of restaurants in Lawrence and the Kansas City metropolitan area is too great to list here, but summer is a great time to try eating somewhere with an outdoor patio.
Enjoy strawberries and other summer fruits at the Farmer's Art Market.
And speaking of dining under the expansive Kansas sky, a picnic can be one of the easiest and cheapest ways to eat out during the summer.
Spread a blanket on the hill above Potter Lake, below the Campanile or at some other picturesque campus spot and break out the ham sandwiches, pasta salad and chocolate chip cookies.
Or, grab a picnic table at one of Lawrence's many parks. South Park, which straddles Massachusetts Street just south of downtown, has picnic tables, swings, a flower garden and the William Kelly Bandstand, where the Lawrence City Band performs free concerts at 8 p.m. every Wednesday.
For the more ambitious cook, charcoal briquettes, marinades, gallons of lighter fluid and a choice cut of meat can be the answer to both hunger and a bit of pyromanin
The Lawrence City Band plays a concert at South Park every Wednesday night.
Holcom Park, located at the intersection of 26th Street and Lawrence Avenue, and Broken Arrow Park, 31st and Louisiana Streets, both have picnic tables and blackened public grills.
Of course, there's always room for dessert. Don't forget to top the slice of chocolate cake with some of that homemade vanilla ice cream. And be ready with a wet napkin for the juice from that crisp, cool slice of watermelon.
Step outside
too much summer food and it's time to exercise.
Bicycle riders, inline skaters, walkers and runners can sweat to the summer heat on several trails around Lawrence.
Cross the Kansas River bridge north of downtown and turn right or left to follow the finely-crushed gravel path that tops the levee.
Or follow the asphalt paths along Clinton Parkway from 23rd Street all the way to Clinton Lake.
Another path also leads to Clinton Lake, beginning in the parking lot of South Wind Theaters at 33rd and Iowa.
Swimmers with a KUID can use the indoor pool at Robinson Center from 5-7:45 p.m. weekdays and 2-7:45 p.m. weekends. Outdoor swimmers can splash down the slide and bounce off the boards at the Lawrence Aquatic Center, 727 Kentucky. The pool is open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. weekdays and 1:30-10 p.m. weekends. Admission for adults is $2.

Candy Mason, Nevada, Mo., senior, finished ninth in the heptathlon with 5,553 points. She placed third in the pole vault with a jump of 12-9 1/2".
Track team honored with All-Americans
The two All-American honors gave Mason five such awards during her career as a jayhawk — a new women's record.

The Hammer walks out of game, then career
Rob Pazell
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Bob Hamelin, a former American League rookie of the year now playing for the Toledo Mud Hens, retired in the middle of Monday's game with Ottawa.
Hamelin, a left-handed slugger, grounded out in the sixth inning and then walked into the clubhouse and said his career was over.

Hamelin, 31, was hitting. 226 with five home runs and 20 RBIs for Toledo. Detroit's AAA affiliate.

He tried to win a spot on Boston's roster this spring but was released.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Mark McGwire victory tour keeps right on going.
The home run king isn't putting up otherworldly numbers this season and is way off his record pace. He has 17 home runs and even trails four of his contemporaries.
Yet no one rivals him as a gate attraction.
The St. Louis Cardinals are the first team in the majors to draw 1 million fans on the road, topping seven figures on Sunday after an interleague series in Detroit.

Similarly, it is McGwire, not the third renewal in three years of the 1985 I-70 World Series, that is packing the house for a three-game series in Kansas City against the Royals.
"This will be an incredible experience for our young players," Royals manager Tony Muser said Monday. "This will be the largest crowd they've ever played in front of."
The Cardinals were averaging 32,655 fans on the road, nearly 2,000 fans per game better than the runner-up Chicago White Sox (30,659). Sammy Sosa's Chicago Cubs were third (30,262).
A turnout crowd of 37,248, second only to opening day, had to settle for some tape-measure batting practice homers in the opener from McGwire. He sat out the 7-5 victory in the opener with a stiff back.
Agassi injured but still wants Wimbledon try
HALLE, Germany (AP) — Andre Agassi has an injured thigh that forced him to withdraw yesterday from a Wimbledon tuneup two days after winning the French Open.
Agassi plans to return to the United States for treatment and intends to play Wimbledon, which starts June 28.
He consulted the tournament doctor at the Gerry Weber Open before dropping out because of a pulled muscle in his right thigh.
THOMAS MORRISON
Agassi: withdraws from tournament with injury.
"it's a great disappointment for me," Agassi said. "I thought two days of rest would be enough." "I'd already felt it after the third round in Paris," he added. "This morning I thought it was only a sore muscle but unfortunately it is not. I don't want to
take any risks."
Agassi won Wimbledon in 1992, his first Grand Slam title. He added the U.S. Open in 1994, the Australian Open in 1995 and this past French Open, giving him a career Grand Slam.

Phantom Menace a 'Forced' movie
Elissa Harris
Kansan movie critic
Star Wars. Two words alone that, for millions of people, symbolize a battle between good and evil, a coming-of-age tale and an overused mantra: "May The Force be with you."
Since the release of George Lucas' most recent addition to the Skywalker saga, many Star Wars fans have sighed in disappointment. Expectations were unbelievably high. Phantom Menace became the magnum opus of the summer movie world before it even opened, thanks to thousands of twentysomethings who ditched work to sit in line for tickets. It was as if they believed the movie would change their reality.
It doesn't do that. But it does enrich the story of Star Wars and entertain audiences for a little more than two hours.
Maybe the difficulty in enjoying The Phantom Menace is that we already know the ending. We already know that the cherub-like child, Anakin Skywalker (Jake Lloyd), will one day be a Master of Evil, Darth Vader, Liam Nesoon, who plays a jedi master named Quigon Ginn, is convincingly strong with the Force. His peaceful command of Jinn is disturbed only by his obvious inability to act with "imaginary" computer animated characters.
Ewan McGregor, playing a young Obi-Wan Kenobi, does justice to the role once played by Alec Guinness.
Natalie Portman, as the exotically-dressed Queen Amidala, seemed underplayed. It may have been because her outrageously beautiful
commentary
costumes overpowered her acting. Any defender of the Planet Naboo, and mother of Luke and Leia, should have been far more forceful — and memorable.
Samuel Jackson, Jedi councilman Mace Windu, is forceful, and his character served the function of foreshadowing the appearance of the Dark Side in Anakin's soul. Yoda is once again voiced by Frank Oz. As in previous episodes, he is the voice of wisdom, telling us that fear is the door to the Dark Side.
Martial artist Ray Park (Darth Maul) is amazingly liquid in movement and incredibly convincing as a Sith Dark Lord, determined to destroy all that is good in the galaxy.
SINGING IN THE HALL
So the computer graphics don't blow you out of your seat with the firepower of the Death Star, but the Podrace graphics are worthy seatclenching appreciation. The sets and scenery, largely the work of computers, are intricate and truly the stuff of a gifted imagination.
So Jar Jar Binks, that darn floppy-eared character and soon-to-be favorite child's toy, is annoying, but isn't Darth Maul devilishly evil and cool? So the plot seems thin, but, hey, don't forget that this movie isn't meant to stand on its own, it's actually just the beginning of an epic.
Something that irks true fans is that Lucas has always been a businessman about his Star Wars storytelling. His plots, a crafty weave of mythology, religious references and comic book action, add up to big bucks when transformed into plastic light sabers, fast food figurines and Halloween costumes.

The original Star Wars was a fantastic movie, and I loved my silver Princess Leia lunch box. Likewise, The Phantom Menace is a welcome addition to my world, as would be that new double-sided light saber only $30 at the toy store.
Have patience, my friends. Enjoy it while you can. After the last release in 2005, there may never again be another Star Wars. The Phantom Menace is the beginning of an end that we already know and love.

Austin Powers sequel jumps back in time
Bv Lisa John
Kansan managing editor
[Image of two characters in a futuristic setting, one wearing a space suit and the other sitting on a chair with arm rests. The background features a metallic surface with geometric patterns.]
As a ringing rebuttal to the notion that you can't go home again, Mike Myers has not only gone to the well for a second time in his Austin Powers series, but, in the film *The Spy Who Shagged Me*, he has Austin Powers go back to the '60s from whence he came. Which is to say Myers had ample excuse to reprise the many characters, jokes and incidents of the first Powers installment.
contributed art
Dr. Evil (one of three characters played by Myers) is back, once again intent on taking over the world (this time aided by a miniaturized evil twin dubbed Mini-Me); actors Michael York and Robert Wagner return as Powers' boss and Evil's right-hand man, Number Two, respectively; and pop songster Burt Bacharach (this time with another aging rocker, Elvis Costello) rehashes his '60s songs.
Myers is again up to his old tricks, satirizing many popular '60s movies. Look closely and you can spot scenes, dialogue and music scores from The
Thomas Crown Affair, A Long Day's Night and several James Bond and In Like Flint movies.
As an update to all this, there are plenty of references to today's entertainment scene, such as dialogue from Jerry Maguire and, most notably, a fight from a Jerry Springer Show. (Springer's fans will be surprised to find him lying at the bottom of one of his typical free-for-alls.)
Plot? Well, how about having Dr. Evil travel back in time to 1969 to steal from the cryogenically-frozen Powers his vital Mojo. Three guesses what Mojo is, but, whatever it is, it seems to be mighty important to his girlfriends.
Assisting Powers in thwarting Dr. Evil's scheme is a new girlfriend, Felicity Shagwell (Heather Graham). She could easily be mistaken for another
commentary
one of those villainous fem-bots that continually terrorize Powers, but be assured Shagwell's intentions here are entirely human.
By the time Powers has his final confrontation with Evil and Evil's mini-accomplice, The Spy Who Shagged Me fairly trips over itself in its eagerness to bring to its legions of young viewers all the scatological jokes, corny puns and '60s caricatures they expect.
If for some viewers this whole thing grows tedious and sophomoric long before it hopscotches to its conclusion, I can only say, what did you expect? This is not a film for analyzing or for devoting an inordinate amount of newspaper space.
It's summer entertainment, as predictable as a box of popcorn. It's fine while you're munching, but when it's over you can just toss it away.
Austin Powers is rated PG-13.
Running time: 100 minutes.

Listener must decide whether music rocks
Being a music critic puts you in a position akin to having to tell people that their children are ugly or stupid.
Music, for all of its commercialism and commodifying, is art, and art is in the eye of the beholder. So while sitting here typing on a wheezing old computer, I'm really in no more of a position to tell you what music is good and what music is bad than I am to inform you that your son or daughter is an ignorant scofflaw. I might want to throttle
the chocolate-stained brat screaming through the produce aisle, but he's some one's beloved child.

ers from adoring the group's everylam.
So think of the column as a child-rearing guide. I'd love for each and every reader to be the best, most-informed parents that they can be. I'll try to provide the best information and pointers so that you can make well-informed decisions.
To that end, I don't see a compelling need to review the releases of omnipresent popular artists, such as the Smash Mouth and Jordan Knight CDs that have recently found their way to the office. If you want to figure out if you like these, just listen to the radio for about 20 minutes this summer, and you'll probably hear them.
One goal of reviews in future editions will be to expose albums that don't get the benefit of radio domination — things you've seen at the store or in concert ads but might otherwise be a mystery.

Kansan columnist
Hey boys and girls, it's summertime once again! No more teachers, no more books -- yadda yadda yadda. Consequently, many of you without jobs, classes or internships will be bored sultitess by now.
Not to worry-- the Internet can save even the most bored among us. To this end, I have surfed long and hard (for at least half an hour) to find Web sites devoted to summer and summer-related activities. Point your Web browser at any one of these sites and prepare to be entertained.
www.netfix.com/pop-tart/summer.html
This site is called simply "Summer Fun." It features many entertaining and educational links for kids of all ages and parents tired of hearing how bored said kids are. Here, surfers can find new games using a hose and sprinkler, recipes that don't require heating your kitchen to the surface temperature of the sun and other fun goodies. It's the online equivalent of booting the rug rats outside to play.

arde/index.html
This Australian site is devoted to gardening of all sorts — indoor, outdoor, vegetables or flowers. If it grows in the ground, this Web site explains how to plant it, feed it, water it and watch it thrive. It includes chat rooms
for gardeners and special links for children and seniors.
www.travelhub.com
www.travelinbub.com
If you're looking to take a vacation this summer, this is the site for you. It advertises the ability to locate the lowest fares available on any flight to just about anywhere, and it's hooked up to hundreds of travel agencies from around the world. Come here to book a flight, a package tour or a cruise.
www.amazon.com
This is the world's largest online bookstore, but they don't just want your money. They also aim to educate readers. Summer is the best time to catch up on that classic you've been meaning to read but never had the time, or to renew your secret passion for bodice-ripping romance novels. If you follow the link to summer reading, you'll find Amazon's list of must-read books for summer.

This Web site, called "Summer Vacation," is a virtual vacation on the Internet. You can learn how to identify and avoid heat-related illnesses, print out a "closed for summer" sign for your oven and even enter a contest to win a No Oven Summer Kit. Teenagers can hunt for summer employment, and the whole family can peruse the Internet Public Library or learn to build a home page.

KAN film festival showcases locals
By Clint Hooker
Kansan Staff Writer
Aspiring filmmakers from Kansas and Missouri showcased some of their work Saturday during the 1999 KAN Film Festival held at the Lied Center.
The festival, now in its eighth year, featured 63 finalists in separate divisions for elementary, secondary, high school and college students, as well as an open division for non-students. Judges narrowed the 63 films from 158 entries received before the May 4 deadline.
Barbara Nash, president of the festival, said this year's event evolved from a small gathering in 1992 that was planned as a one-time venue for a few local filmmakers, funded by a grant from the Kansas Arts Commission.
"This is the biggest year we've had — attendance and entries — and I'm thrilled about that," she said.
Nash said she believed the success of the festival was due to professionals within the industry who volunteered their time, and to teachers and parents who supported many young filmmakers.
The featured guest at this year's festival was Jay Underwood, a veteran Hollywood actor best known for his roles in the films The Boy Who Could Fly and Uncle Buck and as Sonny Bono in the NBC movie And The Beat Goes On: The Sonny & Cher Story.
Underwood, who spoke to about 150 people during an afternoon workshop, said that the growth of film festivals and the success of independent films has forced the film industry to realize that it doesn't take million of dollars to make a great movie.
"The thing I particularly like about this festival and being able to come here is the fact that it promotes film making for everybody, young and old and everyone in between," he said.
Underwood, who was also a festival judge, helped present awards at the end of the festival. He bounded off the stage to present
the first-prize trophy in the college division drama/comedy category to Nicky Walston, Lawrence graduate student, for her film *Reunion*
Walston, 32, suffered a stroke several weeks ago while working on another film. She is still recovering and had to attend the festival in a wheelchair before returning to the hospital. She received a standing ovation as Underwood presented her the award.
Nash said the KAN festival was always intended to be a venue for the works of student filmmakers, who she hoped would not forget their experiences and successes here.
"Primarily, it's to encourage student filmmakers who we hope will continue to do that, go to Hollywood and come back here and then — speaking as a film commissioner, my other hat — come back and make movies in Kansas."
David Gunn, Lawrence senior,
whose parody of film making, *Portrait Of An Artist*, took second in the college division drama/comedy category, said the KAN festival gave recognition and encouragement to people that put a lot of work into something they love.
"I guess it's a hope and inspiration for anybody whose trying to get into the field of film making," he said.
Underwood said the two keys for success in the industry were persistence and a love for the film making process.
"It can be a real tough road and you never know when your break's going to come or in what form it's going to be in. And it has to start within, with an absolute love and a passion for the art of film making or making a movie." he said.
Underwood also said that the growth of independent films had tightened the market on available jobs, but added that he felt the industry was far from saturated.
"When you make a movie, you're saying something. I think there's somebody out there that would like to see it if you make a good movie, and I like to think that there is room for everybody."

Guinea pig new movie star
By Lisg John
Kansan Manaaina Editor
Alyssa Buecker, 15, Lawrence, smiled proudly as she introduced Ringo to those who stopped by her table at the KAN Film Festival Saturday afternoon. Ringo has been collecting quite a bit of attention these days. Buecker said.
JANE BURGESS
So much so that he's going to meet Jay Leno on a 'Tonight Show appearance later this month. Buecker and her 18 guinea pigs are becoming famous.
Her troop of acting guinea pigs have starred in two subsequent movies. If this whole thing sounds familiar, that's because it may be. Since February, three of Buecker's
And to think that it all began at the KAN Film Festival.
"I had so much fun making the first movie that I decided to do more of them," Buecker said.
For the first time in four years, Buecker did not have an entry in the festival. That's because her current project is still in the works. But she credits the organizers of the festival for feeding her enthusiasm for film making. Buecker stepped into film making when she took film class with the Lawrence Arts Center at Oldfather Studio in 1996. Her films feature her guinea pigs whose actions are accompanied by high-pitched voices that seem to come from the guinea pigs.
The aura of excitement filled the air as film and movie buffs found a home away from home at Lied Center where the eighth annual KAN Film Festival brought filmmakers and watchers together.
Looking especially at home was Ringo, a four-year-old American Shorthair guinea pig who also happened to be an up-and-coming film star. While festival judges dined on a barbecue luncheon at nearby Oldfather Studio, Ringo relaxed in his owner's hands and munched on his favorite kind of brown-bag lunch — a baby carrot.
Alyssa Buecker, 15, Lawrence, three-time winner at the KAN Film Festival, visits with festival judge Jim Yonelly, Overland Park, at Lied Center Saturday afternoon. Although Buecker, whose guinea pig videos are running on the HBO Family Channel, didn't 'have an entry in this year's festival, her presence seemed to inspire others. Perched behind Buecker is a photo of her guinea pig, Rinao, who is the star of her upcoming video. Photo by Lisa John/KANSAN
movies have been airing on the HBO Family Channel. The videos range in length from three to six minutes.
Buecker's mother, Nancy Pistorius, said not only had HBO bought one-year rights to Buecker's three guinea pig movies, the company also commissioned another guinea pig movie for next year.
Why the soaring demand for guinea pig movies? To Buecker the answer is simple.
"They'll have sole rights to that one." Pistorius said.
"People like them because guinea pigs are really cute," she said.
Jim Yonally, Overland Park, judged the films at Saturday's competition and said he was familiar with Buecker's movies from previous festivals. Yonally said he liked to see the guinea pigs in action.
"They're cool," Yonally said. "It's amazing to see the creativity that she uses in putting a script with natural movements of the animals. I don't know how you direct guinea pigs."
Barbara Nash, president of this year's festival, said that was what it was all about getting young people involved in film making.
appeared in one of the movies, to her friends who sometimes supplied the voices.
Buecker said she had lots of help, from her mother who
Pistorius said her daughter had not only learned about filmmaking, she had learned how to edit her videos on computerized, non-linear equipment. Pistorius said that Buecker edits her videos at Oldfather Studio.
"There are many venues for students to excel in other art forms such as music and painting, but there are very few for film and video," Nash said. "We wanted to provide a forum for students who are interested in these areas to show their work."
As for Buecker, the work goes on. In progress is her next film, a 10-minute parody of Star Wars, titled Carrot Wars. Of course this production will feature none other than the up-and-coming guinea pig star of video, Ringo, as Duke Strawler.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. — The story line is pure Hollywood.
An obscure, little fabric store in downtown St. Joseph gets discovered for a big break in the movie business.
It's all because St. Joseph business owner Judy Brabinsky had fabric on hand that conjures images of the 1960s.
A relic from the days when it was considered groovy rather than gaudy, the velvet material will go from obscurity in St. Joseph to mass exposure on movie screens across the country.
Tucked away in the corner of Esther's Fabric Co. in St. Joseph are rolls of imported velvet fabric with hot orange and avocado green stripes.
Ms. Brahinsky, owner of Esther's, sold yards of multi-colored striped velvet and cotton ball fringe to the makers of the movie, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.
The material was used to make
"It is a nice little St. Joseph connection," Ms. Brahinsky said. "It's fun. It adds to the color of the store."
costumes for the movie, which opens Friday.
The comedy is a sequel of a popular 1997 film. The movie features a British secret service agent — a fashion photographer and International Man of Mystery named Austin Powers — whose taste in clothing is stuck in the psychedelic 1960s.
The movie's costume designer found a stockpile of striped velvet and suede belts in St. Joseph.
“It’s a hidden treasure in St. Joseph,” said Nancy Kirk, owner of an Omaha, Neb., fabric store that acted as a liaison between Esther's and the film's costume designer. "They have one of the great stashes."
Ms. Brahinsky's big break was typical for Hollywood: She ran into someone who knew someone who knew someone who makes movies.
On a day the store was closed,
she was repairing the front door
when Los Angeles businessman Larry Quint came by and asked to have a look.
An offbeat character who also asked if he could take a nap inside the building, Quint was impressed and contacted Ms. Kirk, who regularly provides fabric for Hollywood productions.
Ms. Brahinsky, who didn't see the first Austin Powers movie, ultimately sold $1,000 worth of fabric for the movie. She isn't sure if the material will be worn by the stars or by extras.
She also provided several hundred yards of brown cotton/polyester fabric for the 1999 film, "Blast from the Past." The material was made into pants worn by actor Brendan Fraser. All this has Ms. Brahinsky talking about marketing her vintage fabrics to Hollywood producers.
"There aren't a lot of places like this," she said of her business, which opened in 1969. "There is money there. They have unbelievable budgets in Hollywood."
Bravo shoots down gun satire
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The Bravo cable network said it won't air a satire about a "teen sniper school" produced by filmmaker Michael Moore because of public sensitivities following the Columbine High School massacre.
The four-minute segment, produced five months before the April 20 shooting in Colorado, was to run this Sunday on Moore's Bravo series. The Awful Truth.
Moore said his satire took easy access to guns to its logical extreme, by arming children and teaching them to be better shots as part of the school curriculum.
Bravo didn't object to the content but felt the timing was inappropriate, spokeswoman Sommer Hixson said Tuesday.
"We're hoping after some time
goes by the original intent of the satire will be more clear to viewers," she said.
There's no telling when viewers will get that chance; the season's last episode of The Awful Truth airs June 27, and Bravo hasn't decided whether to renew it.
Columbine and the focus on violence in television has left programmers skittish lately. CBS cited the massacre in leaving a violent drama off its fall schedule, and the WB postponed the season-ending episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer because it depicted high school students taking ums arms.
Subsequently, there's been a booming business in bootleg Buffy tapes circulating on the Internet after the episode aired in Canada.
respected Bravo's point of view, he disagreed with the decision to censor The Awful Truth.
Moore, producer of the documentary Roger & Me, said in an e-mail message to fans that while he
"One of the main functions of satire is to confront the uncomfortable issues," he wrote. "Satire is not supposed to be the kind of comedy lite you can find on every other channel. Satire assumes the audience has a brain."
Moore said he offered to add a statement to his report that said, in effect, that it took 25 years after the King and Kennedy assassinations to get the Brady gun control bill passed, yet legislation happened much more quickly after shootings in Colorado and Georgia.
"Clearly, the only way to get true gun control in this country is for there to be more school shootings," Moore offered to write.
Bravo didn't go for that, either.
Clinton pushes for ID checks at movies
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Clinton won pledges from thousands of movie theaters today to require photo identification from young people seeking admission to R-rated movies.
"They're subject to too much violence through media and cultural contacts." Clinton said.
The president denied the move was precipitated by hesitancy among Hollywood executives to embrace his call to reduce violent content in films and predicted that they eventually will join his crusade.
He said that too often children did get past the ticket counter unscorted and underage and that with today's announcement, the theater owners were clearly drawing the line.
"The great thing about the multiplex is that there's a movie for every member of the family," he said. "But not every movie is for every member of the family. When you drop them off, you shouldn't have to worry about your G-rated kids getting into violent or suggestive R-rated movies."
Clinton said the industry executives' public ambivalence was based on their uncertainty about whether they would open themselves to censorship by joining the campaign.
"If we all work at it so that nobody's pointing a finger at anybody else, I think we'll have good participation from the entertainment community," Clinton said. "I'll be surprised if we don't."
Clinton had challenged the industry to enforce the rating system more strictly in the wake of the high school shootings in Littleton, Colo.
In response, the National Association of Theater Owners said it would begin requiring youths unaccompanied by adults to produce a photo identification before being admitted to R-rated films. The association represents about 20,000 screens — 65 percent of the motion picture screens in the United States.
"We feel this will go a long way in carrying out our responsibilities to the parents of America," William Kartozian, association president said.
The president also repeated his challenge to the movie industry to re-evaluate its entire ratings system — particularly the PG rating — to determine whether it is allowing children to be exposed
Clinton: Gained support for enforced movie ratings.
to too much gratuitous violence.
so much gratitude violence. In a May 15 radio address, Clinton issued three specific challenges to the entertainment community: Stop showing guns in ads or previews children would see, check IDs at R-rated movies and re-evaluate the entire ratings system to determine if too much violence was being shown to children.
Clinton said the typical American will see 40,000 dramatized murders on TV or in movies, by the age of 18.
The movie rating system was adopted by the Motion Picture Association of America in 1968. The White House said it can be a useful tool for parents but only if its main restrictive rating — R for Restricted: under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian — is effectively enforced.
The National Association of Theater Owners said it would post notices of the new policy.

THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
（USPS 650-640）

Orientation Q and A preps new students
Bv Matthew Friedrichs
Kansan Editor
Mark Bradshaw, a Walnut senior, stood in front of 11 recent high school graduates Saturday morning in the Governor's Room of the Kansas Union.
He had less than half an hour to explain how to use the timetable of classes and academic catalog, review the day's schedule, tell students about filling out the form for basketball tickets and parking passes and administer an alcohol survey.
"Today, we're going to throw a lot of information at you, and we hope that at least a small percentage of it sticks." Bradshaw said.
Emily Foelske, Boulder, Colo., freshman, quietly scanned the booklets and papers as Bradshaw speedily explained their function. Foelske, who plans to study illustration, was one of 156 students on campus to enroll in their first KU classes at New Student Orientation.
Foelski and her mother also were among the thousands of students and their parents who have received or who will get a quick morning overview of KU services and enrollment policies at 22 sessions this summer and fall.
The morning informational sessions are followed by advising and enrollment in the afternoon.
But before students attempt to navigate the KU bureaucracy on their own for the first time, a gaggle of KU students, faculty and staff are on hand to
answer questions and offer advice.
saturday, Gloria Flores, associate director of the freshman-sophomore advising center, spoke to the students and parents about the community at the University of Kansas.
"We want you to know that there's a place for each and every one of you at KU," she said.
James Kitchen, associate vice chancellor and dean of student life, elicited laughs from the parents when he talked about informing his daughter that she would graduate in five years, not six, if she didn't want to pay for the extra year.
But he also addressed their concerns.
"We don't want you to go away from here not having any of your questions answered." Kitchen said.
Parents accepted his challenge, asking about parking, where to sign up for basketball tickets and whether their children should have cars, bicycles and computers.
Students, in turn, asked Bradshaw and the other student Orientation Assistants how their Advanced Placement credits would affect enrollment, which classes to take and when students did for fun when they weren't in class.
Ultimately, the lessons for new students are as simple as the "Ask Me" buttons worn by the Orientation staff.
"We've been through it before," Bradshaw said. "If you have questions, please ask us."

Regents plan tuition hike
Many students may seek financial aid in the coming years
By Clint Hooker
Kansan staff writer
KU students will be paying more for an education if the Kansas Board of Regents approves a proposal for tuition and fee increases for the 2000-2001 academic year.
Students will be paying 2.3 percent more this fall than in fall 1998 because of an increase approved last year. If the 2000-01 tuition increase is approved, tuition will have increased by nearly eight percent in four years.
The Regents will review the increases, which would raise tuition 2.5 percent per credit hour for all undergraduate and graduate students, at its June 24 meeting in Topeka.
Mary Burg, executive assistant to the chancellor, said that the tuition increases were an indication that the state was not providing adequate financial support.
"We are asking students to pay for costs that really should be borne by the state," she said. "And because our support by the state has decreased over the years, we've moved from being state supported; now we call ourselves state assisted."
in addition to the tuition hike, the Regents are reviewing plans to retain the technology fee and implement a new library fee, each amounting to $1

dent fees may prompt many more KU students to apply for financial aid over the next couple of years. She said that there were so many opportunities for scholarships that people didn't take advantage of and that this might get them thinking.

Children's center breaks new ground
Kansan editor
By Matthew Friedrichs
Parents and children who have used Hilltop Child Development Center will break ground for a new building at 1 p.m. on June 27.
Actual construction on the $3.4 million project is scheduled to begin June 28 on the site between Anschutz Sports Pavilion and Stouffer Place.
The new center has been on the drawing board for several years, but plans became reality when Champion Builders Inc. of Topeka was chosen from among five competing companies. The center was designed by Rafael Architects in Fairway.
Grey Montgomery, 1996-97 student body president and now a Salem, Ore., resident, helped finalize the plans that made the new center possible.
"Obviously, I'm really excited that this day has finally come," Montgomery said.
dren. The new center, scheduled to open in August, 2000, will be licensed for about 210 children and will serve from 230 to 240 children — some of whom will use the center only part of the day — Pisanti said.
The new building was something Montgomery and others, including Pat Pisani, Hilltop director, said was needed.
The current center is across from the Kansas Union, behind Smith Hall, and serves from 150 to 160 chil-
"We have people calling before their children are even born," Pisani said.
That early-bird strategy doesn't work because the center won't accept applications until children are three months old.
Pisani said new spots were given first to siblings of current Hilltop
children, second to children of KU students and third to children of KU faculty and staff.
Those groups are financing the new building. A portion of student fees will be used to pay for construction. The KU administration will also contribute to the cost, and Hilltop will pay $81,000 a year for the new building. This is a jump from its current lease of $1 a year.
Dena Podrebac, president of the Hilltop board of directors and public education specialist at the Natural History Museum, said the investment would be worth it. She has two children at Hillon.
Podrebarac said the current center had shortcomings beyond lack of space. The building was not built as a child-care center, and it is not handicapped accessible.
Warren Corman, university architect, said the new center had been designed with children in mind and was completely accessible.
The two wings will have self-contained classrooms that have their own bathrooms and exits to the playgrounds.
The building also will have a Kansas nature and environment theme, Pisani said. The east wing, which will house the one- and two-year-old classrooms, will be the woodland wing while the southwest wing, home of the kindergarten and three-, four-, and five-year-old classrooms, will be the prairie wing.
Pisani envisions a child development center that represents University cooperation. She said she will look for representatives of the art department to paint murals, engineering students to develop a working windmill and botany students to help with the landscaping.

Civil rights charges mount against KU
The plaintiffs in each case have alleged sexual or racial discrimination and have said that their departments' promotion and tenure processes were not objective.
By Phil Cauthon Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas was slapped with another lawsuit last week in U.S. District Court, marking the third time in four months the University has been accused by current or former faculty members of violating the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
"These suits are aimed to reform the system so that people devoted to KU are not subject to capricious decisions," Marie Aquilino, former assistant professor of art history, said, referring to the process of tenure review. "We're not bitter or mad at the University. We just want to be treated fairly."

"There's really no opportunity for redress without litigation," Aquilino said. "That's why we're here. Believe me, we didn't want this."
When tenure-track professors are hired, they typically undergo a seven-year probationary period and a mandatory review for promotion or tenure during the sixth year. Tenured faculty vote and pass the department's recommendation for or against tenure to the college and University committees.
The final decision regarding tenure is made by the chancellor. Candidates denied promotion and tenure are terminated.
A lawsuit filed jointly by Raymond Pieroitt, tenured professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, and Cynthia Annett, a former assistant professor in the same department, is now entering the pretrial discovery phase. In the coming weeks, their lawyers will begin to question people such as

"In 'Mysterious Skin,' Heim dramatizes a difficult subject with clean, unsparing prose, turning what might have been prudent melodrama into a haunting account of a trust betrayed," said The New York Times in a review of his most recent work.

Firefighters get hosed by bikini-clad babes
*ANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Two Kansas City firefighters will be disciplined for their role in letting bikini-clad women pose on a department fire truck for an exotic dance club's calendar.
The names of the firefighters and the specific disciplinary actions were not released. Fire Department representative Brad Humston said Monday that it was a personnel matter and he could not provide further details.
Possible disciplinary actions range from reprimands to dismissal.
Louie Wright, president of Local 42 of the International Association of Fire Fighters, declined comment Monday.
Pumper No. 32 was pictured in a Bunns 1999 calendar with ten blikini-clad dancers in various poses around the truck. The promotional poster was distributed in September at the club.
Fire Chief Rick Brisbin started an inquiry after he learned of the poster in February.
Suspension crumbles against tough cookie
HUDSON, Ohio (AP) — School officials reversed the suspension of a 9-year-old boy for writing a fortune cookie message considered threatening.
During a class assignment to write a fortune-cookie message that was positive and fun, Karl Bauman wrote: "You will die with honor."
The suspension was overturned Monday because Karl didn't receive written notification of the punishment, as required by state law, officials said. Karl served the two-day punishment last month, but now it will be removed from his record. Karl's parents and the American Civil Liberties Union, had planned to appeal the suspension.
Jean Bauman said her son thought his message was positive. She said he picked the phrase up from a computer game he plays that says: "Congratulations. You have died an honorable death."
Superintendent Joseph Siegferth said Tuesday that the reversal was granted on a technicality and "does not change or alter in any way the reason for suspension."
Lazio bidding for NY; faces Hillary, Rudy
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Rep. Rick Lazio said Tuesday he expects to announce this summer that he will seek the Republican nomination for the Senate seat that is Hillary Rodham Clinton is also eyeing.
Lazio will probably face New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani for the GOP nomination.
"The way you beat Rudy Giuliani is you run as the Republican," the Long Island congressman said, noting the mayor's crossing of party lines in 1994 to endorse Democratic Gov. Mario Cuomo over Republican George Pataki.
Giuliani political adviser Bruce Teitelbaum declined to comment on
Lazio's plans. The mayor formed a Senate exploratory committee in April but has yet to announce his candidacy.
The Senate race is for the seat being vacated next year by Democrat Daniel Patrick Moynihan. Mrs. Clinton plans to form an exploratory committee in early July.
"I go into it as the underdog and I have a keen understanding of what that means," Lazio, 41, said. "It's a David-and-Goliath race against two titans."
Lazio said he will campaign on the theme that both the first lady and the mayor want to use the Senate seat as a stepping stone to higher office.
"I will be making an announcement sometime in the summer and I can't imagine right now that that announcement is not going to be a positive one," Lazio said.

Texas man gets prison for computer piracy
AACHEN, Germany — A German state court convicted a Texas man on Tuesday of counterfeiting more than $63 million worth of Microsoft computer programs.
John-Joseph Staud, 39, was sentenced to four years in prison for three counts of counterfeiting patented programs and smuggling them into Germany for commercial purposes.
Microsoft Corp. greeted the court's decision as "a meaningful signal," toward thwarting computer piracy. The Redmond, Wash.-based software giant said the counterfeit case was its biggest in terms of the operation's sophistication and the magnitude of damage.
The court denied Microsoft's request for damages, saying that should be handled by a court in England, where Staud allegedly ran a counterfeit compact disc production plant and printing operation.

By Jason McKee Special to the Kansan
More than 500 8- to 18-year-old boys descended upon the University of Kansas this week to take part in the Roy Williams Basketball camp.
The camp, which runs June 13-17, is designed to not only teach basketball skills but to give kids a good camp experience.
"We want to teach them to work hard and to give 100 percent," Coach Joe Hollday said. "We want them to learn about things other than basketball."
The camp also lets kids learn a little about college life. They are staying in University residence halls; for many, it is their first time away from home.
Coaches also scout for young talent. Several former campers have gone on to play for the University's team, including Ryan Roberston, St. Charles, Mo. senior. Jaron Rush, who plays for the UCLA Bruins, also attended the camp. Holladay said, however, that recruiting was not a major focus of the camp.
"Most of these kids aren't going to play college basketball anyway," he said.
"The main thing we want to do is teach them to become better players."
Players come from all over the United States and even from abroad to attend the camp. Although the majority of the kids come from Missouri and Kansas. Coach Holladay said that in the 10 years Coach Williams had been doing this camp, he has seen people come from all 50 states.
The coaches also come from all over. While there are KU coaches instructing at the camp, most coaches are recruited from high schools and colleges.
The campers also got to hear from current and former University greats. Danny Manning, who led Kansas to the 1988 NCAA men's basketball title and plays for the Phoenix Suns, joined KU basketball player Nick Bradford, Fayetteville, Ark. junior, gave guest lectures at the camp.
Manning told them that working on the little things and being a leader were ways to become a better, more valuable players. But he emphasized that practice was the most important thing, especially skills such as rebounding and dribbling.
Bradford demonstrated drills to help them improve certain aspects of their
game, and focused on things off the court. He told them to set goals they could achieve so would gradually improve.
"Setting goals is the main reason I'm a KU," he said. "The coaches saw me play in high school, and they saw me getting better every night."
Remembering his own summers spen at basketball camp, he told them that they should work hard but also have fun. Coach Holladay agreed.
"The coaches really enjoy it, and I hope the kids do, too," he said.

Beatriz Ibarra knows when most people are going to pay her a visit. The Love Garden sales associate expects them right around bill time.
Used goods bring bucks
The people visiting Ibarra aren't in the music store to buy anything, though. They're there because they need cash.
By Liz Pepperdine Kansan staff writer
"Right around the end of the month is when people start trying to sell back more of their music to get some fast cash," Ibarra said.
The Love Garden, 936/1/2 Massachusetts St., is one of several Lawrence businesses that buy and sell CDs and records. Selling music back to stores is a quick way a person can earn some money, but for those who can't part with their music, there are other options to get cash in a snap.
Carrie Neighbors, owner of Yellow House, 1904 Massachusetts St., said she will buy about anything. Yellow House is a variety store that buys and sells jeans, video games, electronics, bicycles and musical instruments.
"Usually if you need money you can come up with something to sell us because we're pretty open." Neighbors said.
Behind the cash register at Yellow House is a wall of wigs. Wigs are another item bought and sold at the store.
"We get some pretty weird stuff in here," Neighbors said.
Another option for getting cash is to go to Nabi Biomedical, 816 W. 24th St. Blood plasma donors there can earn up to $100. It takes four visits to get the full $100, and each visit
requires about 90 minutes.
But some people do not like the thought of donating plasma. For instance, when Ibarra needs money fast, she said she prefers to sell some of her clothes to the Arizona Trading Co., 734 Massachusetts St., or Sugartown Traders, 918 Massachusetts St.
"I like to hold on to my music, so I usually sell clothes because that doesn't mean as much to me." Ibarra said.
Lawrence resident David Ray, 25, sold some of his clothes to Arizona last month for some extra cash.
"I cleaned out my closet," Ray said. "I had stuff I'd never wear again. I'm usually like a pack rat and hold onto things."
Arizona is selective about what it buys this time of year, according to sales associate Suzie Lechtenberg. She said that the store was buying for summer now.
Ray sold about 10 articles of clothing and said he was paid nearly $80. Arizona and Sugartown both pay 40 percent of the value of clothes.
"We're buying kind of lightweight, casual clothes," Lechtenberg said. "But it just depends on the style and the condition of the clothing."
If people want more money in their pockets, they will have to sell their more valuable items. Ibarra said.
"Of course some records are worth more than others, and the same with CDs," Ibarra said. "We'll give more money for something that's rare."

New lawsuit alleges sexism
Continued from page 1A
department members and the chancellor about the details of Annett's tenure evaluation.
Annett claimed sex discrimination after the department denied her tenure.
Pierotti, a Native American and Annett's husband, claimed race discrimination after he lost his lab space — which he said was used by eight to 11 minority students — and his position as head of the department's minority affairs committee.
Annett and Pierotti filed jointly because they believe that each of their actions within the department may have caused retaliation against the other. Annett said.
"Discrimination comes in when people are willing to believe the stories and the gossip they hear about you," Annett said. "If it fits their perceptions of how the world runs, then they're more likely to believe it."
A suit filed by Mike Cuenca, assistant professor of journalism, is also about to enter the discovery phase. Cuenca's suit alleges that he has been consistently denied positions within the journalism school because he is Asian-American.
Cuenca filed suit before his tenure review, which will begin this month, and was reluctant to comment on the case.
"The system is too subjective, which leaves open the possibility for discrimination against individuals. I think the feeling is that this is the way we've been doing it, so this is the way it should be done." Cuenca said, regarding the tenure process.
Victoria Thomas, the University's general counsel, said that the University's policy was not to comment on pending litigation.
In addition to potential monetary compensation, the careers of most of the plaintiffs hang in the balance as their lawsuits proceed. Only Pierrotti has a secured position at the University.

KU libraries welcome new dean
by Carrie Petree
Kansan staff writer
In the wake of the spring semester to summer semester transition, the University of Kansas makes another translation.
Keith Russell, the deputy director of one of the United States' four national libraries, will be the new dean of libraries at the University.
Russell comes to Kansas from the National Agricultural Library in Beltsville, Md., and will begin his new position on Aug. 9.
"I am pleased to accept this position," Russell said. "KU has a distinguished history of valuing its libraries, and the libraries have an excellent record of providing both traditional and innovative service in support of the University."
The University libraries' collections comprise approximately 3.2 million volumes and 27,000 current serial titles and are housed at seven sites in Lawrence and at the Edwards
In addition to the massive collection of titles, the University has the only library of rare books in the Big 12 Conference, with the exception of the University of Texas at Austin.
Campus in Overland Park.
"The KU collections are internationally known and the libraries are a key component of state, regional and international library information networks." Russell said. "I look forward to 'working with KU administrators, faculty, staff, students and others to continue this tradition of excellence."
The Spencer Research Library is a magnet for good students and for Russell.
Crowe said he had been attracted to the University because of of the merit of the library system.
Russell replaces William Crowe, who was hired as dean of libraries in 1991.
"You want to go w is established," he said. Crowe said he thought that it was important for those in leadership positions to look at what
they were doing once a decade. He said he thought that about ten years would be the right amount of time for him to direct the libraries.
Although Crowe was not fully engaged in the University's search for a new dean, he did
contribute to the process. Crowe said he was pleased with the University's decision, and said he had high hopes for the new dean.
"Keith is a really good person, but I think the most important thing here is that he

will bring fresh ideas and energy," Crow said. "He will challenge us. He will make us ask, 'Why are we doing it this way?' That is what anyone new does to start fresh again."
Crowe emphasized that he not
only was pleased with Russell as the new dean, but that the University as a whole was pleased and excited about the change.
Marilu Goodyear, associate dean of libraries, said she was looking forward to working with Russell in her future position as vice chancellor for information services designate.
"Keith brings with him a wealth of experience in user services, facilities management and collaborative information sharing." Goodyear said.
Provost David Shulenburger said that Russell would lead the libraries into the 21st century.
"He has a keen understanding of the importance of outstanding research collections to support the research and learning needs of library users," Shulenburger said. "He also exhibits qualities of vision and collaborative information sharing that will serve KU well in the coming years."
Microchip identifies, helps locate lost pets
Volunteer
By Rob Pazell
Kansan staff writer
— Edited by Kimberly Erb
Technology has given a significant service to pet owners, by developing a microchip identifier capable of locating lost pets.
The Lawrence Humane Society, along with other humane societies across the country, automatically inserts the microchip, which serves as permanent identification, into all adopted pets.
Dana Parhm, operations manager of the Lawrence Humane society, injects a rice-sized microchip into a Golden Retriever named Jed. The Microchip is used to identify stray animals. Photo by Ruben Noauergi KANSAN
"It makes my job much easier," said Stacy Hoobler. Lawrence Humane Society office manager. "If every pet in Lawrence had this chip, I could find them."
The microchip, about the size of a grain of rice, is used for finding lost animals and establishing proof of ownership. It can be implanted in most domestic pets.
The process of having your pet chipped is quick and easy. The humane society injects the chip under the skin between the shoulder blades, below the neck. The cost of the chip is included in the adoption fee.
Pet owners can bring their animals in to have a chip implanted.
"It's the same as simply having your pet vεcciated." Hoobler said.
Lost pets brought to the humane society are scanned using equipment similar to that used in grocery stores.
Once the chip is implanted, an identification number for your pet is entered into a database at the local humane society. The number contains specific information such as the animal's name, age, breed, gender, owner and emergency contacts. The code also includes the name of the microchip company that sold the chip.
For a fee, the owner can enter the pet in a nationwide database.
Lawrence Humane Socii
"We returned a husky in 20 minutes just by scanning the chip and finding it on the database," Grinstead said.
ety director Midge Grinstead said that the chip helped the humane society return lost pets faster than other forms of identification.
If a local search doesn't produce anything, then the number is entered into the national database. But that's where problems can occur. Grinstead said if the animal does not have a local owner, then the search is fruitless.
"If owners are going to chip their animals, they should go the extra yard and pay to be in the national database," he said.
Veterinarian John Bradley thinks chips are
more effective than tattoo identification, which can be difficult to read. Tattoo identification can be found inside the ear or in the groin area.
Bradley said that even if a tattooed number is legible, it could be difficult to know whether the number is the owner's Social Security number, or the pet's registration number.
Besides, he added, chips cannot rub off and don't deteriorate, making them more attractive than other forms of identification.
"It's an excellent foolproof ID," Bradley said. "I think it's the best form, whether the animal is pure bred, registered or the family pet."

Experts warned, however, that due to its crafty design, the Worm.Explore.Zip virus could remain a serious risk for weeks.
NEW YORK — The latest outbreak of a computer virus began easing yesterday as infected companies carefully reconnected email and file-sharing links the bug used to spread.
Five days after the epidemic took hold, anti-virus software companies reported that the torrent of calls to customer-help lines was starting to ebb.
"From Thursday to Monday, we had four times the normal rate of calls. Today it looks like about twice the normal rate,"
"We expect to continue to

team at Carnegie Mellon University reported that firsthand accounts of outbreaks were leveling off.
But since the virus can lay dormant in an unused machine, the aftershocks could extend well beyond the days it took to contain the Melissa and Chernobyl viruses earlier this spring.
"We may have a week go by with only two reports and then we may get 20," said Mark Zajicek, a member of Carnegie Mellon's Computer Emergency Response Team, or CERT. "We expect to continue to receive reports of this for days and weeks to come."
On Monday, CERT revealed that in addition to spreading under the guise of a friendly e-mail — tricking the recipient into opening an attached file — the new virus was taking advantage of the information-sharing pathways that co-workers set up to use files stored on each other's computers.
Once a computer is infected, the virus hunts across network links that share files created by popular programs, including Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel.
The virus struck tens of thousands of machines at major corporations during the first days of the outbreak.

Priming and pampering keep pets at best
By Marta Costello
Kansan staff writer
A woman in a black smock covered with clumps of fur huddles over a small table talking baby talk to a tiny, barking Shih Tzu trying to calm her down. She starts to massage the dog's ears and the animal becomes quiet almost instantly.
Pam Dunn is the owner of Accent-Doggy Mat Pet Grooming in the Riverfront Square in North Lawrence. She and her staff clean, clip and groom dogs and cats Tuesday through Saturday. Dunn said they groom about 30 to 40 animals a day. She has more than 5,000 clients in the area and takes animals that most other groomers won't.
"We're one of the few shops that do cats, chows and rottweilers," Dunn said. "I'm an all-breed groomer."
Not even badly behaved animals present a problem for Dunn, who has 12 years of experience grooming pets.
"I'm known in this town for working with badly behaved does," she said.
Working with temperamental dogs is not without risks. Three years ago, Dunn was bitten on the nose — three weeks before her wedding. In spite of these job hazards, Dunn does not use tranquilizers of any sort — just calm talking, massage techniques and, when necessary, muzzles.
Dunn began grooming animals 12 years ago in her parents' basement before opening her own store at 923 N. Lawrence in January of 1993. She now has 4,800 square feet for her full- and self-service doggy salon.
Accent-Doggy Mat Pet Grooming is divided into two sides. On one side of the building is Dunn's full-service side, Accent Grooming. Customers drop off their dogs and Dunn and her staff clean the animals. Dogs and cats are washed, dried, clipped and cut in just a couple hours depending on the breed.
Prices depend on the breed. A full-service grooming ranges from $24 to $50. Most small breeds like Yorkshire terriers, Pomeranians, and schnauzers are at the low end of the price scale. But some groomings can't be done at specified prices and are only quoted. For instance, Dunn once had a week-long project grooming a sheep-
dog that cost $185
On the other side of the store is the Doggy Mat, the self-service area of her store with four bathtub stations. Pet owners can bring their pets in and bathe them at one of the stations. At each station is a drawer full of supplies like shampoo, conditioner, brushes, combs, cotton balls, aprons, clippers, towels and cologne. Customer can use any or all of the supplies to clean their dog or cat.
"You get to make a big, hairy mess and don't have to clean an of it. "Dunn said.
The prices for the Doggy Mat are $8, $10 and $12 for small, medium and large dogs. Sizes are based on height.
Dunn offers lessons to clients who want to learn to groom their own animals. She charges $10 an hour for private lessons. She said she provides the lessons specifically for people who show their dogs and can't always wait for an appointment.

Louise Smith said she took lessons from Dunn because her schnauzer, T.J., was a show dog, and in a pinch, she needed to know how to keep him looking perfect.

In addition to the full and self-service centers and private grooming lessons, Dunn has a pick-up and delivery service. This service originated to assist her elderly and handicapped clients free-of-charge. However, Dunn said that the service was also available to other clients for $10 round trip.
All the products used in the salons, from shampoo to toothpaste, are natural and hypoallergenic. None of the products Dunn uses have harsh chemicals
"They're not good for us, and they're sure not good for the dogs. Even the flea dip I use is all-natural." Dunn said.
An all-natural oatmeal bath is available for those who want to pamper their pets. The oatmeal bath helps to slough off flaky skin and helps the fur stay healthy looking. Dunn compared the oatmeal bath for dogs to a Calgon bath for humans.
Dunn said she is most busy during the holidays such as Christmas and Fourth of July. She attributes the increased business to an
increase in house guests.
"People are having parties and guests, and the house looks good. The furniture looks good. The yard looks good. Why not have the dog look good?" she said.
Dunn said dogs are more difficult to groom in the summer. She said many people leave their dogs outside in the summer and they develop hot spots. Hot spots are infected parts of the dog's skin that Dunn compared to diaper rash. The hot spots make it hard for Dunn to groom the dog, and the fur doesn't cooperate well with the hot spots.
While hot spots are easily treated, they are just as persistent as diaper rash, and without daily attention they are difficult to heal. Durex spray is the recommended of designer.
ing a relationship with her clients. She said having a relationship with clients, both animal and human, was central to her business. If she finds something worrisome on an animal — from a flea problem to weight problem — Dunn advises her clients to take their animal to their veterinarian.
Dunn stressed the importance of develop
Dunn said she forms an attachment to each animal, regardless of disposition.
"They come in a variety of personalities, mean and nice," Dunn said. "Even so, your clients' dogs become like your dogs."
"She really cares about the animals," Smith said of Dunn. "She may not always know the human's name, but she always knows the doe by name."

University janitors' work helps to keep Mt. Oread beautiful
Dirty work left to KU custodians

A man in a worn baseball cap pushes a bright yellow barrel in front of him as he picks up trash at the end of a hallway in Wescoe Hall. Soda bottles, newspapers and fluorescent newspaper filers litter the length of the hall.
James Williams is a Housekeeping Department employee, a branch of Facilities Operations for the University of Kansas. A staff of 142 custodians is responsible for cleaning more than four million square feet in 50 buildings on campus. The job includes cleaning up after students.
A student is placing a book on the bench.
"When prospective parents and students come to see the campus, the first thing they see is the landscape and the second thing is the buildings. The impression is generallyu made or broken right then."
Charlie Covert custodian
Williams is one of two custodians who clean the fourth floor of Wescoe Hall. Each custodian takes one side of the floor and one of the two bathrooms. The other three floors of Wescoe take only one person, but the fourth floor needs two because it's a high traffic area and has more classrooms. Williams cleans each classroom and is also responsible for rearranging chairs that have been moved during the day.
cleaning up spills in classrooms, "I clean up spills in classrooms, hallways and bathrooms," he said.
moved turting Students in Summerfield Hall rely on Steven Freed to clean up after them. Freed has worked for Housekeeping for six years. He cleans the third and fourth floors of Summerfield, Monday through Friday.
Freed said he spends about three hours every evening picking up trash. But if there were less trash, he said he could get more done.
"We could be doing other things instead of picking up trash. I could clean a lot more if I didn't have to pick up so much trash." Freed said. "It would make my job easier."
Charlie Covert is one of the custodians who cleans Strong Hall. He's been cleaning drinking fountains, windows and everything else in the building since October. He said if students threw their
trash away instead of leaving it on the ground, it would help.
"They wouldn't do that at home. They wouldn't leave things out in their apartments," Covert said. "This isn't grade school or junior high."
Jim Chateo, associate director of housekeeping, said that the responsibility of keeping the University clean was important.
"When prospective parents and students come to see the campus, the first thing they see is the landscape and the second thing is the buildings. Their impression is generally made or broken right then," Choate said.
Williams works the third cleaning shift in Wescoe from 10:30 p.m. to 7 a.m. There are two other shifts: a morning shift from 5 a.m. to 1 p.m. and an evening shift from 5:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. Both Freed and Covert work the evening shift. The shifts are intended to allow custodians time to clean when fewer students will be around.
Chatee said most of the noisy, detailed cleaning is done on the third shift because the buildings are empty.
The number of custodians it
areEmpty.
"You can't do the vacuuming when there are students around studying." Choate said.
takes to clean a building varies depending on the size and setup of a building. Buildings with labs, like Malott Hall, take more time than a building with auditoriums, like Budig Hall.
"This is a big campus. There's an awful lot going on," Choate said.
Covert said that even with 142 custodians, Housekeeping is understaffed.
"One person can only do so much," he said. "I think we should have about 500 people doing this job to do it well."
Mondays are the worst in Summerfield because custodians don't clean during the weekend but students are there, Freed said.
Some nights Wescoe can be downright flithy.
Williams said Wednesdays and Thursdays are the worst because students try to group all of their classes in the middle of the week, and the inserts from The University Daily Kansan every Wednesday add to the litter problem.
The amount of trash littering the halls of Wescoe upsets supervisor Mike Lindeman. Lindeman is responsible for making sure everything gets cleaned properly during Williams' shift, but he is disgusted with students' apathy about trash.
"They have no respect for their school. There are trash cans all over the place," Lindeman said. "Anything you can imagine is all over the floors."
of the room.
Supervisor Willie Steel works in Malott Hall and has been at the University for 15 years. He gets upset by the amount of trash too, but understands how it gets that way.
"Students and teachers have other things that concern them. Cleaning the buildings is just a part of the job," Steel said. "Sometimes it is excessive though. There are plenty of trash cans."
Chatee said that some were inconsiderate, but for the most part students were good about throwing away trash. He said that 25,000 students can make things a little messy.

NATO efforts affect programs for KU ROTC
By Matthew Friedrichs
Kansan editor
University of Kansas students planning to become officers in Army, Navy and Air Force Reserve Officers' Training Corps have been in no danger during the bombing of Yugoslavia and now the peacekeeping efforts in Kosovo.
Col. Kevin McNellis, who is professor of aerospace studies and in charge of the KU Air Force ROTC program, said most cadets were not ready for the technical requirements of full-time duty.
However, some summer training programs have been affected by the conflict in the Balkans.
Instead, most cadets are at one of two camps.
Students with more experience attend airmanship training — which has been affected because so many planes are at bases outside the United States — to practice fiving.
"The numbers haven't required total mobilization that would have required a call-up of cadets," he said.
Younger students are undergoing intensive training on Air Force bases in Texas or Louisiana.

In subsequent summers, students go on a naval vessel cruise first to learn about enlisted life and second to learn about life as a junior officer.
Naval ROTC students could be on a ship supporting U.S. and NATO forces, said Cmdr. Bill Venohr, executive officer for KU's Naval ROTC.
"There's good potential that a midshipman could be on a ship that's on a cruise in the Mediterranean." Venohr said.
ing U.S. forces in Kosovo and the surrounding area. "In a professional sense, it's probably an increased opportunity to see real-world events," Venohr said.
Bup ships in the Mediterranean could be supported US forces in Kocquoy and the surrounding area.
Venoir said it was unlikely that students would be on ships directly offshore from dangerous locations.
That is exactly what Scott South, an incoming freshman from Paola with an ROTC scholarship, is looking for.
South said he had taken the scholarship for the education and because he wanted to become a pilot.
The danger of combat has not been a deterrent to the plans.
"It's just something that you have to do," South said.

Summer fun put on hold for academic endeavors
Rv Mindie Miller
Kansan staff writer
Yes, time just seems to stand still during the three sultry months between the spring and fall semesters — unless you are a University of Kansas student or faculty member involved in summer school.
During the summer semester, courses normally taught in 16 weeks are condensed into eight or even four weeks. This high-speed format can make life difficult for both students and teachers.
Students have to take responsibility for their learning, though, especially in summer courses, said Rivers, who prefers teaching during full semesters.
"It's a challenge for me, and I feel for the students," Adrienne Rivers, associate professor of journalism, said.
Rivers is teaching a four-week version of Reporting I. She said she reduced the number of assignments and the time allotted for each one. She advised one student against taking the course because he was enrolled in other summer classes and probably would not have time to do well in Reporting I.
"I don't want students to feel shortchanged. I want you to feel like you got your money's worth," Rivers said.
"There are pros and cons to summer school." Chambers said.
While it is a good way to fulfill requirements quickly, instructors have to cover the same amount of material in a much shorter amount of time, Chambers said.
you get a longer time to develop things and a chance to get to know the students." Rivers said.
"If you get behind, then you are playing a catch-up game for the rest of the semester." she said.
Charlene Chambers, Lawrence senior, has taken summer classes before, but opted to take this summer off.
Chambers said there are some courses that should only be taken during the fall or spring semesters.
"Western Civilization is one of those
courses that should not be taught in the summer. With 15 books, you end up reading two books a week. Then you feel like you're being short-changed," Chambers said.
Generally, summer courses meet five days a week for one or two hours a day. This rigorous schedule often makes it difficult to teach or sit through summer courses.

The extra exams give students more leeway to improve their grades during the course. Shafer-Landau said he increased the number of exams in response to student comments on course evaluations.
Russ Shafer-Landau, associate professor of philosophy, said that students have a lot to digest in a single day.
Shafer-Landau, who is teaching a four-week course titled "Introduction to Ethics," said he increased the number of tests for his summer class. During a regular semester, he gives two midterms and a final. During the summer, students are required to take four exams.
"it's hard to keep the level of motivation and excitement up over the course of a two-hour class," he said.
King said she was enrolled in one hour of aerobic kickboxing and three hours of sociology this summer. The sociology course fulfills a degree requirement and would not fit into her fall schedule.
"I increased the number of exams because a lot of the students were unfamiliar with philosophy, and they didn't really know what to expect on the tests," Shafer-Landau said.
Despite the obstacles of a shortened semester, Heidi King, El Dorado senior, has found the key to being successful in summer school.
"You just have to stay on top of things. You can't procrastinate as much as you might be able to in a regular semester," King said.
"I feel like I'm getting a lot from the class," King said. "It would be nice to have the summer off, but the class will be over in four weeks, and I'll have the rest of the summer to relax."

WASHINGTON — The Education Department forgave nearly $4 million in student loans during a two and one half-year period for borrowers who were supposed to be dead but turned out to be alive, according to an internal audit.
Audit reveals $77 million educational loan scam
The Associated Press
During the same span, the department also forgave more than $73 million in loans for people who claimed permanent disability but continued to work, said the audit, which has just been given to Congress.
"This is really a clear case of no oversight," said Sharon Pinkerton, spokeswoman for Rep. John L. Mica, R-Fla., who oversees domestic issues on the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee.
and investigations into suspicious borrowers.
Greg Woods, who oversees the Education Department's loan division, ordered the audit. He said the department will use wage garnishment and other means to recover the loans, which will be reinstated as soon as possible.
"We understand this is r#al money," he said.
Federal law provides for loan discharges when the borrower dies or becomes permanently disabled. The Education Department defines a disability as a condition which prevents a person from working and earning money, or attending school, because of an injury or illness that is expected to continue indefinitely or result in death.
Woods also said the department has created safeguards in an effort to prevent individuals from abusing the program in the future such as tracking disabled individuals
Mica has scheduled a hearing for Thursday, asking why the department hasn't required original or certified copies of death certificates for discharges of loans based on a borrower's death.
Disability claims require the borrower to send a form completed and signed by a doctor to the lender or guaranty agency. But the process did

not require proof that a qualified doctor actually saw the patient or proof the borrower was not working.
At the Education Department's request, its auditing arm studied loan-discharge records from July 1, 1994, through December 31, 1996. It matched all borrowers who received disability and death discharges with the Social Security Administration's master earning records for 1997.
There were 708 borrowers drawing wages after receiving education loan death discharges. The audit found that lenders processing discharges relied on copies, not originals, of a death certificate or other proof of death such as a doctor's statement or an insurance bill, which might be acceptable proof under a given state's law.
One man apparently altered his twin brother's death certificate — changing the name and Social Security number to match his own — in an attempt to get his loans discharged.
The audit also found that 9,798 individual borrowers, 23 percent of the borrowers claiming disability, were earning wages after their loans were forgiven.
In addition, the auditors learned that more than 6,800 new loans totaling almost $20 million have been awarded to borrowers who returned to school after previously having loans totaling nearly $11.5 million discharged due to total and permanent disability.

Other borrowers earned wages in excess of $20,000 each after having loans discharged for total and permanent disabilities of memory loss, reconstruction of right ankle, carpal tunnel syndrome, depression, fractured elbow and severe headaches.

Electromagnetic threat not cleared
Report findings support reducing human exposure
WASHINGTON — Six years of research have produced little hard evidence that the magnetic fields around electric power lines cause cancer, yet some lingering concerns remain, a National Institutes of Health division reported yesterday.
The Associated Press
Virtually all of the laboratory evidence in animals and humans and most mechanistic studies in cells fail to support a causal relationship between the electromagnetic fields and cancer, the National Institute of
Environmental Health Sciences said in the report to Congress.
However, it said there have been some statistical associations between the fields and childhood leukemia as well as chronic lymphocytic leukemia in adults who are exposed to the fields through their work, such as electric utility workers, machinists and welders.
Research is continuing on these concerns and efforts to reduce human exposure to electromagnetic fields should continue, the report said.
"The lack of consistent, positive findings in animal or mechanistic studies weakens the belief that this association is actually due to EMF, but it cannot completely discount the epidemiological findings," Kenneth Olden, NIEHS director, said in a statement.
Therefore, since virtually everyone in the country is routinely exposed to electromagnetic fields, efforts to reduce such exposure should continue, he said.
For example, the electrical industry should continue efforts to reduce the electromagnetic fields around large transmission lines and communities should enforce electrical codes to avoid wiring errors that can increase electromagnetic fields.
The focus on a possible link to cancer stemmed from a 1979 Denver study that tied leukemia to electromagnetic fields. However, the researchers also concluded that there was no connection between electromagnetic fields and other problems including Alzheimer's disease, depression and birth defects.
Just a year ago, a panel of scientists studying this issue concluded, in a 19-9 vote, that electromagnetic fields should be considered possible cancer-causing agents though the risk was probably quite small.
that was at odds with a 1996 report by a National Research Council panel of scientists. Those scientists evaluated about 500 studies on the health effects of high-voltage power lines and found no conclusive evidence that electric and magnetic fields cause any human disease.
Though the link between electricity and disease has long been controversial, some consumer groups have sued power companies or forced utility firms to move power lines or install shielding.
Midwestern women making it to 100
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Women living in the Midwest have the best chance of living to 100, according to a Census report that finds the nation's centenarian population overwhelmingly female and doubling this decade.
And reaching the century mark doesn't necessarily mean slowing down.
Ella May Stumpe, 103, taught herself Microsoft software five years ago so she could write books on her computer, including one titled "My Life at 100."
"More than anything else, the reason I have survived to this age is a moderate way of life," said Stumpe, who grew up in North Dakota, which had the 11th highest percentage of centenarians among its population in 1990. She now lives in Frederick, Md.
Stumpe, who changed her diet to nonacidic foods after suffering an ulcer at age 30, offers advice for those yearning to live long: I do not go for the modern teen-age diet of burgers and stuff that "
The Census Bureau reported yesterday that its analysis of 1990 data found that four out of five U.S. centenarians are women. Iowa had the highest percentage of residents in their 100s, followed by South Dakota. Three other Midwest states — Nebraska, Kansas and Minnesota — also finished in the top 10. The others in the top 10
were Connecticut, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Montana and the District of Columbia.
The 1990 Census counted 37,306 people age 100 or over, but bureau analysts believe that inaccurate birth and death records inflated that number and that the figure was actually closer to 28,000.
"A lot of people don't know how old they are, and if you don't have a record and you're old you may want to be one hundred plus. It's kind of a magical age," Victoria Velkoff, co-author of the Census report, said.
Nonetheless, the Census estimates there are now nearly 70,000 people age 100 or older, almost double the 1990 total.
California, New York and Florida had the most residents past the century mark. But when measured as a percentage of population, these big states trailed those in the Midwest.
Tom Perls, a principal investigator for the New England Centenarian Study that researches aging, said genetics is probably the primary reason for the regional cluster of centenarians frequently referred to as the longevity belt. It stretches from Minnesota to Nova Scotia, he said.
"There were genes passed down through the generations that have inhabited these regions that are probably excellent for getting to extreme old age. That's what we call a founder effect," Perls said.
Florida, with the largest senior population.
ranked 23rd in the percentage of centenarians in its population. The Census speculates that it's because the healthier "young old" may be flocking to Florida, while the "older old" return to their home states for family care, the report said.
Alaska ranked last for centenarians as a percentage and for total numbers.
The report also echoes findings that women outnumber men among the very old.
Women age more slowly than men, Perls said, and among women, the onset of cancer, stroke and Alzheimer's may be delayed by 10 years. Elderly women also survive illnesses and chronic conditions like heart disease more often than men, he added.
Anna Groupe, 104, of Sherburne, Minn., spends her days reading the local papers and her copy of "Portals of Prayer."
Born in 1895 when Grover Cleveland was president, Groupe doesn't know why she has lived so long. But she remembers an active youth of horseback riding and farm work with her German immigrant parents.
"I drove a horse and buggy four miles to high school to get a high school education. I was never late because my dad always had the horse hitched," Groupe said.
Her husband, Arthur, died at age 87 in 1982. She now lives with her 78-year-old daughter, Mildred Johnson, on the same farm where she grew up. "I take care of her and she takes care of me," Johnson said.
Estrogen-replacement drug might decrease breast cancer possibilities
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — An estrogen substitute used to prevent brittle bones in women who were past menopause reduced the risk of breast cancer dramatically, a study found.
The three-year study of 7,705 women found a 76 percent lower risk of breast cancer among those taking raloxifene compared with those given a placebo.
Raloxifene is marketed under the name Evista by Ell Lilly and Co., which paid for the study.
The study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, was led by Dr. Steven R. Cummings, a professor of medicine and epidemiology at the University of California at San Francisco.
"It's a very exciting beginning," Cummings said. "But we've only had 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 years of experience with this. I think women should be cautious about any medications used for prevention."
Raloxifene is part of a new generation of drugs scientists hope will manifest the good effects of estrogen stronger bones and a lower risk of heart disease - while inhibiting the possible harmful effects, which may include promoting breast and uterine cancer.
Raloxifene, the first designer estrogen, was approved in 1997 by the Food and Drug Administration for preventing osteoporosis. It has not been shown to affect heart disease.
Many women are afraid to use estrogen because of conflicting evidence on whether it promotes breast cancer. However, a study released
last week on 37,000 women suggested that hormones did not increase the risk of breast cancer, except for some uncommon and highly curable forms of the disease.
Raloxifene isn't risk-free. It increases the chances of serious blood clots.
In Cummings' study, 5,129 post-menopausal women younger than 81 received raloxifene daily, while 2,576 got a dummy pill. Thirteen cases of breast cancer were diagnosed among the women on raloxifene; 27 cases were found among those taking the placebo.
Women taking raloxifen had a 90 percent lower risk of a type of cancer called estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer.
However, raloxifene had almost no effect on estrogen-receptor negative breast cancer, one of the hardest forms of the disease to treat. It is most commonly developed by younger women and those with a genetic predisposition to the disease.
Janet Wolter, a doctor at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center in Chicago, said she was encouraged by the findings and hoped more research would determine whether the breast cancer drug tamoxifen or raloxifene was more effective and produced fewer side effects.
An accompanying editorial called the findings encouraging but cautioned that raloxifene could not yet be considered suitable for most women.
"Its contributions to knowledge intensify the anticipation of finding something even better on this new frontier," Drs. Adele L. Franks and Karen K. Steinberg said.
Patient privacy debate bogged down by partisan partition
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Sen. James Jeffords, trying to avoid the partisan fighting that surrounded debate about health maintenance organizations and patient rights, again postponed committee action today on another troublesome issue: the privacy of medical records.
While there is a broad agreement on the overall privacy issue, major disagreements remain about the details, despite months of searching for compromise.
Action had been scheduled yesterday in the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Com
mittee, but Jeffords, the panel's chairman, announced postponement for a third time, trying to find compromise.
"It would be much more fruitful if we wait and come back tomorrow morning," said Jeffords, R-Vt. We're very, very close to consen
We're very, very close to consensus, he added.
Like the HMO debate, the right of patients to sue is at the center of the issue. In the privacy case, the question is how easy it will be for patients to sue those who improperly disclose personal health information. Also, Democrats and Republicans were divided about the rights of children to keep their medical records secret — even
from their parents.
Legislation written by Jeffords sets out to establish the first federal right to privacy regarding medical records. While many states have privacy laws, no federal law prohibits the free distribution of someone's medical records.
Jeffords has been trying to walk a thin line between the views of Democrats, who generally want to make privacy rights as broad as possible, and Republican, who fear hampering business by expanding such privacy rights.
The privacy debate is being driven by an August deadline. If Congress does not act by then, a 1996 law requires the Clinton
administration to write its own regulations.
Advocates on both sides of the issue dislike different aspects of the administration's approach, and both prefer that Congress resolve the matter.
But Democrats will not support the bill as written, said Jim Manley, spokesman for Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts, the committee's top Democrat.
On the right to sue about unauthorized release of patient information, Jeffords originally included language more acceptable to Democrats. But then conservative Republicans balked, led by Sen. Jeff sessions, R-Ala. So Jef.
fords tightened the provision to cap damages for pain and suffering at $50,000.
But negotiators, trying to win Democratic support, are considering changing a provision that would require plaintiffs to prove in court that their records were released willfully and intentionally. The bill now sets the standard at knowingly or intentionally.
Democrats are also angry at a provision that they believe would give parents the right to see their children's medical records, even if the child sought medical attention independently.
Some states require doctors to give these records to parents. Democrats will let *otctors* in other states withhold them if the see fit.
There are differences on other issues, but those were not serious enough for either side to oppose the bill. Senate aides said.
On other issues of contention, Jeffords' legislation would:
—Allow existing, tougher state privacy laws to stand, but prohibit most future action.
—Enable law enforcement officers to seize medical records without the patient's permission if they have a warrant or other court action ordering it.
Give medical researchers access to records without getting permission first.

Dividing donations difficult
The Associated Press
LITTLETON, Colo. — Spiraling medical bills. Mental health services. Assistance for rent and living expenses.
Divyving up the nearly $5 million in donations to meet the needs of the survivors of the Columbine school massacre and victims' families is proving a Herculean task.
"You have a large number of victims. They all express different thoughts on how they think the money should be utilized and distributed," said Robin Finegan of the Colorado Organization for Victims' Assistance.
"It is in many ways a no-win situation," Ms. Finegan said.
Some believe more money should be given to teen-age survivors with mounting medical bills; others advocate equal distribution to survivors and the families of the dead. Some have proposed that all of the students who weren't wounded get a share, too.
Organizers hope questionnaires handed out to victims' families will help provide answers as to how to dole out the donations. Some families say they cannot afford to wait.
"Monetary support should not be held hostage when there are real life, urgent needs that some of these families face," said Ram Siddhre, a representative for the family of slain 18-year-old Isaiah Shoels.
Student gunmen Eric Harris and Dylan Klebeld killed 12 classmates and a teacher and injured 23 before they committed suicide in the April 20 attack.
In all, there are more than 30 funds devoted to medical bills, victims' memorials, scholarships and community counseling. The school district is also receiving donations.
Donations raised after the school shooting at Jonesboro, Ark., totaled about $400,000, while about $450,000 was raised after the Springfield, Ore., attack. Some warn that with the increase in contributions after the Columbine attack comes the possibility of abuse.
"We try to be vigilant, but there's always going to be an individual who, for whatever reason, takes advantage of a situation like this," said Kelly Cahill, a representative for the Mile High United Way, which has collected nearly $3.3 million in its Healing Fund for Columbine.
including $5,000 to the families of each person killed or injured. $150,000 to support a mental health center and $50,000 to the Colorado victims' group.
So far, $390,000 has been dispensed,
But medical bills for victims continue to mount, and some students will probably have to undergo years of surgery and physical and mental therapy. Those without medical insurance are causing the biggest drain.
Medical bills for Lance Kirklin, a 16-year-old whose jaw was shattered by gunfire, have already topped $1 million. He was not insured.
Brian Rohrbrough, whose 15-year-old son Daniel was killed, said he wants more accountability from United Way officials on exactly where the money is going.
"I don't think anyone should give a dollar to an organization that doesn't lay out how it's going to be spent," said Rohrbough, who was upset by a proposal to give $1,000 to more than 2,000 uninjured students.
"You know, $5 million may sound like a lot, but when you start dooling out $1,000 checks it goes pretty quickly," Rohrbough said.
Congress honors Rosa Parks with medal
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Hailed by lawmakers as the mother of civil rights, Rosa Parks was honored yesterday with the Congressional Gold Medal, the highest civilian award given by Congress.
House and Senate leadership and President Clinton lauded Parks, 86, for an act of defiance more than four decades ago.
On Dec. 1, 1955, the seamstress, tired after a day's work in Montgomery, Ala., refused to give up her seat to a white man on a segregated city bus and was arrested for her defiance.
Parks' arrest set off a lengthy bus boycott by thousands of African Americans led by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., then a local minister. The boycott lasted about a year until the Supreme Court declared Montgomery's bus segregation law unconstitutional.
"She is the mother of the civil rights movement," said Rep. Julia Carson, D-Ind., who pushed for the legislation granting the Congressional Gold Medal to Parks.
"It is a celebration of the life of Rosa Parks, who is receiving the honor while she can still see it," Carson said of Parks, who appeared frail and had to be helped to her feet from her wheelchair, sometimes steadily herself on the arm of House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-III.
"I thank God that when your time came, you were not afraid," House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt, D-Mo., said at the Capitol Rotunda ceremony. "You had courage, and you sat down for all of America and all of America's freedom."
"I thank you," Parks said in a low, halting voice, adding that she accepted the award for a free people and for civil rights. The gratitude yeet both ways.
"I thank you for what you have done," Clinton told Parks.
"She sat anchored to that seat, as Dr. King said, by the accumulated indignities of days gone by and the countless aspirations of generations yet unborn," the press
ident said. "Rosa Parks said, 'I didn't get on that bus to get arrested; I got on that bus to go home.'"
Parks' action cost her the seamstress job and prompted harassment and threats to her family. So she moved to Detroit in 1957. She joined the staff of Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., in 1965 and worked there until retiring in 1988.
Parks has received numerous awards including the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
The legislation awarding her the Congressional Gold Medal was approved by the Senate without dissent April 19. The House voted 424-1 for it the next day. The only opposing vote was cast by Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, who said he opposes spending government money on such awards.
Lawmakers initially used the Congressional Gold Medal to honor military leaders but began using it during the 20th century to recognize excellence in a range of fields. More than 320 medals have been awarded.
NATO orders Serbs to withdraw troops police from Kosovo
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Yugoslavia is on schedule to withdraw all its troops and police from a designated zone in southern Kosovo by midnight, the Clinton administration said today. So far, 20,000 troops have left the province and 15,000 allied troops have entered as peacekeepers.
Of the retreating Serbs, 12,000 left the designated zone along with 115 artillery pieces, 65 armored personnel carriers and 37 tanks.
NATO had threatened to resume its bombing of Yugoslavia if the Serbs deliberately dragged their feet in leaving Kosovo.
"The roads are jammed, so they're having a hard time getting them out. But we basically see a strong effort to try to comply." Kenneth Bacon, Pentagon spokesman, said.
Bacon showed reporters video tape from a U.S. surveillance drone that showed an estimated 300 to 500 military and civilian vehicles forming a convoy headed north from south-central Kosovo on Monday. The convoy was being monitored by U.S. Army Apache attack helicopters.
As the Serbs pulled out, NATO troops continued to pour in. They include 1,000 U.S. Army soldiers and 900 U.S. Marines, the vanguard of a U.S. force eventually to total 7,000.
It will be up to the commander of NATO's peacekeepers in Kosovo, British Lt. Gen. Sir Mike Jackson, to determine whether the Serbs have lived up to the agreement they signed June 9 that laid down deadlines for pulling out of Kosovo. It gave the Serbs until today to vacate a stretch of southern Kosovo; they are to be completely out of a middle section of the province by Friday and out of Kosovo altogether by Sunday.
The military agreement signed with NATO required the Serbs to have 100 percent of their air defense weapons out of Kosovo and beyond a 16-mile buffer zone in Serbia by last Saturday. Bacon said all of these weapons had been withdrawn except for an unspecified number of anti-aircraft artillery guns, which they were working to move as soon as possible. He said some of these are broken down.

Little bird watchers participate in summer workshops
By Lisa John
Kansan managing editor
FORD
Traipsing across the green grass on the slope beneath the Campanile last Thursday morning, a group of budding ornithologists checked out the birding scene.
Four young bird watchers steady their gaze in search of campus wildlife. These children participated in one of the "Exploring Nature" workshops offered to children ages four and five through the Museum of Natural History. Pictured left
Their teacher, Dena Podrebarac, told the students to aim their binoculars at two birds gathering food beneath a tree.
Up went 15 pair of binoculars — homemade binoculars fashioned from cardboard tubes and string, decorated with crayon designs.
"Wow, big!" exclaimed one student as he looked at the birds. "Yeah, big!" exclaimed another.
Indeed, as this class of four- and five-year-olds continued in their week-long course, "Exploring Nature," at the Natural History Museum, they did seem to be onto something big.

Jama Kolosick, director of education, said that the museum's summertime class load is growing. This year's calendar lists 45 week-long summer classes for children age four to 12 years. So far, more than 700 children have enrolled.
The first workshops were held 32 years ago, said Brad Kemp, assistant director for public affairs at the museum.
The popularity of the summer classes is nothing new.
"They've been around for a long time, which makes them a

tradition," he said. "We have second- and third-generation kids participating in the workshops."
Kemp said enrollment by out-of-town children had grown in the last two years.
While some parents drive from the Kansas City area, Cathy Kern brought her daughters, Mary, 5, and Anna, 6, from Nortonville last week. She also plans to bring her son, Mark, 9, to a workshop in July. This will be Mark's sixth summe attending the museum classes, and Kern said the 35-mile drive was well worth it.
"The kids love it," she said
"They're just absolutely thrilled.
They get so excited when they get
out of class to show me what
they've made and to tell me what

Her children learn a lot about wildlife. Kern said.
"Anna was enrolled in the rain forest class last week. She told me that a rain forest is made by
temperature, steam and rain you could tell they went over that pretty good."
Peggy Porter brought her son, Brendan, 4, to the museum from Olathe each day last week. In bringing her son to the workshops, Porter said she felt as if
she was carrying on a family tradition.
"I grew up in New Jersey," she said. "When I was little, there were six of us kids, and my mom took us to classes at the Newark museum on Saturday."
Porter said that the 45-minute

every day.
"It's wonderful to have the youngsters in the building," Kemp said. "It reminds one why one works in a museum — what the importance of the public aspect of this museum is. That's pretty invigorating."
So invigorating in fact, that the museum has about 200,000 visitors each year, Kemp said, with the highest number of visitors in April and May, when school field trips brought as many as 600 children to the museum in one day.
As for the classes, vacancies still exist, Kolosick said. Tuition for the week-long courses for children age four through seven is $60 a week, and the classes meet for two hours a day. Children eight through 12 meet for three hours a day, and their tuition is $70 for the week. Kolosick said that about 10 percent of the students received tuition assistance.
Meanwhile, the group of young ornithologists continues along the trail. They make many stops along the way — some puff at fluffy dandelion seeds, some crouch to peer through a sewer grate and others gather walnuts and acorns. And when leader Dena Podrebarac says to look through their binoculars at a female house sparrow, that's just what they do. After all, this is a class about discovering nature and they are onto something big.

Dads value gift of love
KU fathers desire time with families above gifts

Of the many possible ways to celebrate Father's Day, it seems simple ideas are the best.
Fathers queried on campus last week seemed to be in agreement that no matter what, time with the family mattered more than anything. There was little talk of gag gifts or impressively expensive presents.
When it gets down to the nuts and bolts of it, all that mattered to these fathers — some of whom expressed candid thoughts about their families and backgrounds — was that they had children they loved, children of whom they were proud and children who loved them back.
If Father's Day is indeed an invention to sell gifts and cards as several fathers voiced, then perhaps it's all too obvious that the gimmick works. After all, who would want to overlook so easy a chance to honor their father?
Richard Hardin, chairman of the department of English, and his wife Virginia have six children. Hardin leans back in the chair in his office and smiles when he talks about their children, five of whom are grown and out of the house.
"I find all the Father's Day presents I've received to be very touching and nice," Hardin said. "I've always told my children not to send me anything for Father's Day because to me Father's Day is an invention of commerce to sorb of force people to buy stuff."
However, Hardin said that any gift from his children would be significant to him.
Man C. Kong, associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science, and his wife Sue are the parents of three children, ages from six to 11.
"Every gift is meaningful," he said. "But I really feel embarrassed when I get a present from them because our family was so large; we didn't have a lot of money to support them through exotic summer camps or fancy universities or sports cars or any of that kind of thing. And so I always feel that they kind of made it on their own and I'm very proud of them for that."
Kong, who was reared in Hong Kong, said that Hong Kong has a Father's Day, too, and a unique way to celebrate it.
Rick Johnson is a University police officer who said he looked forward to spending time with his children on Father's Day. He and his wife Pam have two children, ages 10 and 12. One of his favorite Father's Day gifts is a pottery dish made by his daughter that he keeps on his nightstand, Johnson said.
"It's not celebrated on a single day like it is in this country." Kong said. "Of course, from time to time, you do give your parents something, and it is kind of expected in that culture. So it is different here, in that it is expected not just for one single day, but basically for every day."
Kong said that his own children had given him thoughtful gifts each Father's Day, and to him, the ideal gift was something money couldn't buy.
"I like to see a good report card from the teacher," he said.
An early Father's Day celebration for Johnson this year was that his recent days-off coincided with
his children's first days of summer vacation. They bicycled on errands around town, swam together at the city pool and even attended a Kansas City Royals baseball game in which Mark McGwire hit his 19th home run of the season and the 467th home run of his career.
Regarding Father's Day wishes for this year, Johnson said he would like to spend time with his children and go out to dinner.
Lloyd Sponholtz, associate professor of history, and his wife Charlotte have four grown children. Sponholtz said his children had always given him something thoughtful on Father's Day.
"Even when they were young—I can't think of any gift I didn't treasure," he said. "So maybe I'm a lucky dad."
The ideal father's Day for Sponholtz would be to have all of his children together at one time, he said.
Sponholtz said that three of his children lived in Lawrence but one lived in Phoenix.
"It would be nice to have her and her husband here, too," he said.
An ongoing Father's Day gift is that he is his children' s father, Sponholtz said.
"I've been blessed," he said. "Our kids have been relatively trouble free in terms of childrearing. They've just been greatkids."
Sponho also delineated another benefit of childrearing.
"I have earned something from every one of my children," he said. "I'm the professor, but sometimes they've been my teacher."
See FATHERS on page 7B
Warren Corman, university architect and special assistant to the chancellor, and his wife Mary have six grown children.
"When you get to be my age, you have everything you need, so they don't know what to buy for you," he said.
TIE
Corman said he was difficult to buy gifts for, no matter what the holiday.
Corman chuckled and said that he joked with his daughter in Topeka that he wanted a peach pie.
But a few years ago, Corman's children found a unique gift to give to their father.
"The best thing the kids do for me is to come and visit or go out to lunch," he said. "They're scattered from Alaska to Arizona to Georgia, all over the country. They always call and say what do you want for Father's Day and I always say I don't want anything."
"We were having a family reunion out at Estes Park (Colo.) around Father's Day," he said while laughing. "The kids all got together and they had a T-shirt made that had their names all on it and it had which school they had their allegiance to. It was all either KU, Washburn or K-State, where they'd all gone to school to get their undergraduate degrees. And so they had four for KU with Jayhawks after all of those, there was one from K-State with a wildcat and there was one from Washburn with an Ichabod. It was all over the front of that thing and they expected me to wear that stupid thing. I noticed it the other day when I was looking for a T-shirt to wear for running. I'll probably wear it while I'm running because I run at 5:30 in the morning and nobody will ever see it."
To Corman, the ideal Father's Day gift is ongoing.

University dads say that everyday is a Father's Day
By Katie Burford
Kansan Staff Editor
Joel Kolatch works as a computer specialist for the University of Kansas libraries but his no. 1 job is being a dad.
Kolatch and wife Nicky, who works as an accountant in the department of Physics and Astrology, came to Lawrence 10 years ago.
Before that, he worked as a sound technician for some Hollywood studios and the family lived in Los Angeles. But as a father, Kolatch started thinking that the city was not the best place to raise two young girls.
"Wanted to have our kids grow up in a safer area." he said.
The couple began a nation-wide search for a site to relocate. A family friend convinced them to check out Lawrence and, well, the rest was history.
Kolatch said that they made the right decision. This was reinforced when his oldest daughter, Emily, decided to stick around for college.
"I was glad for her to come here. KU has such a good reputation. And then she would be in town," he said.
Emily, a junior English and women's studies major, recently has returned from a year in England and is living at home.
She said that she enjoyed having both of her parents on-campus.
"It's really fun. We can meet for lunch and drive together to campus. We're really close and we get along great. If they weren't so cool, it wouldn't be so fun," she said.
Emily's younger sister, Natalie, is a senior at Free State High School and is also considering attending the University.
Kolatech said that the family would probably celebrate this Father's Day, June 20, in much the same way that they commemorated it during their first year in town—a cook-out at Clinton Lake.
Although Emily won't be able to attend
the outing because she has to work, she said that she was looking forward to a trip to San Francisco that she and her father would be taking later this summer.
She said that she was very grateful for her father's dedication to his family.
"He is completely unselfish. He does everything for his family — every day," she said.
The Kolatch family is proof positive that playing together fosters staying together. One of their favorite things to do together is go to concerts.
"Music is definitely a focal point of our bonding." Emily said.
Peter, Paul and Mary, Tori Amos and Paul Simon are just a few artists they have seen together.
Music is also a unifying force between John Stephens, professor of music and dance, and his daughter. Anne.
Anne, 19, is a sophomore at the University. Although she is considering anthropology as a major, her dream is to play bass guitar in a rock group.
One of the things she and her father enjoy doing is playing guitar together.
"I'm a classical musician by trade, but I can also play folk," he said. "It doesn't really matter what we play, we just like to sit and jam."
Anne said that they also enjoy gardening and logging together.
"And watching old movies, like those with Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant." she said.
A summer trip is also in the works for the Stephens. Stephens, wife Barbara, daughter Laura, 14, and Anne will be heading to Montana by minivan.
Stephens said that while it was nice that there was a day to honor fathers, it wasn't really necessary.
"When you're a father, one little isolated day doesn't mean much," he said. "It's the whole deal that matters."

Necktie standbys fill dads' closets
By Matthew Friedrichs
Kansan editor
Owen Grieb, Lawrence senior, remembers buying at least two ties for past Father's Days.
"It was really the only thing he would use." Grieb said.
The sometimes colorful, sometimes conservative accessories to mens' business attire have come in many widths, sizes and shapes through the years.
From the fish tie to the power tie, almost every father has two or three tucked away in a drawer, cabinet or closet.
But changing office dress codes have relegated Grieb's father's two racks of ties to the dim realms of obscurity.
"Now that his work has switched over to casual, he doesn't really need them anymore." Grieb said.
Jennifer Lindsay, Midland,
Mich., graduate student, also
remembers purchasing a tie for her
father.
"When we were really little, we bought a tie," she said.
The tie was Lindsay tartan plaid, a nod to the family's Scottish ancestry.
Now Lindsay shops for dress shirts.
Joe Flannery, president of Weaver's Department Store, 901 Massachusetts St., agreed that changing dress codes have affected the popularity of neckties.
His mother would send him to Krueger's, a local clothing store,
"When I was younger, ties were the standard gift," Day said.
"Ties have always been a traditional gift for Father's Day," Flannery said.
But people are still getting Dad a colorful strip of silk to wear with his dress shirts and suits.
That's the assumption Kendall Day, who graduated from the University of Kansas in May, has always followed when shopping for his father in St. Francis.
This year, true to form, he is buying a tie from the Jayhawk Collection at the University of Kansas Alumni Association.
and the salesmen would help him pick his father's newest neckwear
"Dad was here for graduation and saw the one I was wearing and was asking me to let him borrow it. So I thought I would get him one of his own." Day said.
Flannery offers some tips for tie customers who don't have a specific request like Day.
He said consider the clothes accompanying the tie. More traditional striped ties or polka dotted ties appeal to men who wear suits and have conservative jobs.
However, men who dress casually in sport shirts might be looking for something more novel, such as a patterned tie or a designer tie, like one from the Jerry Garcia collection.

Regardless, it might just end up in the back of dad's closest anyway.

Born and Riggins inducted into Hall
ABILENE (AP) — Five native sons were inducted into the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame during a ceremony last Saturday.
About 1,500 people gathered to celebrate as the five inductees — John Locke, B.H. Born, Lon Kruger, Steve Grogan and John Riggins — took their places Saturday alongside the 74 previous entrants into the hall.
Loveltelle was leading the nation in scoring, and coach Phog Alen told the team they were going to switch to a double-post offense.
Medicine Lodge's Born shared stories of his days playing behind the rugged Clyde Loveillette as a sophomore on the Kansas basketball team in the early 1950s.
Born averaged 18.9 points per game during his junior and senior seasons. He was a two-time All-Big Seven selection and was named Most Valuable Player of the 1953 NCAA Tournament.
Riggins, a member of the NFL Hall of Fame, was the MVP of Super Bowl XVII playing for the Washington Redskins.
He was a four-year letterman in football, basketball and track at Centralia High who went on to become an All-American running back at Kansas before being selected by the New York Jets with the sixth pick in the 1971 NFL draft.
He spent five seasons in New York before being traded to Washington Redskins in 1976. He retired from the NFL in 1985 and is the eighth-leading rusher in league history with 11,352 yards and 116 touchdowns.
Grogan, a basketball, track and football star at Ottawa High School and a football star at Kansas State University, passed for more than 27,000 yards and 182 touchdowns for the New England Patriots. He is one of eight players to be inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame and is also a member of the Kansas State Hall of Fame. The football stadium in Ottawa bears his name.
Lon Kruger finished his collegiate career with more than 3,000 points and led the Kansas State Wildcats to two Big Eight championships and three NCAA Tournament appearances.
Kruger is the only Kansas State coach to lead a team to four straight NCAA tournaments. He is also one of just a handful of coaches to take three different teams to the NCAA tournament - Kansas State, Florida and Illinois.
John H. "Johnnie" Locke, the win ningest high school basketball coach in state history, coached at Covert, Stockton and Natoma high schools, amassed 731 victories in boys basketball, a 51-game wining streak and three state championships.
Battery charges may be filed against Bob Knight

is eager to cooperate with Salzmann's office. He said Foster would give Salzmann a statement by Wednesday.
Salzmann said he plans to decide by then whether to charge Knight with battery with or without Foster's statement.
Knight, who has spoken to police, said he had been harassed by Foster inside the restaurant and then provoked into the confrontation after Foster followed him outside into the parking lot.
On Friday, Salzmann said that there were no thumb marks among the red marks on Foster's neck, which would mean Knight couldn't have lifted Foster off the ground.
"You have to have an opposable-thumb print." Salzmann said.
Investigators then began checking credit-card receipts to try to find other possible witnesses.

Kansas prisoner symbolizes injustice
By Katie Burford
Kansan campus editor
The government is right. Leonard Peltier is dangerous.
He is dangerous because he is the symbol, the very embodiment, of every unjust act that has ever been committed against indigenous people — and because he possesses the fervency of a warrior with the voice of a poet.
Now in his 24th year of imprisonment for the murder of two FBI agents, Pelitier resolutely maintains his innocence in his recently released memoir, "Prison Writings: My Life Is My Sun Dance."
The events that led to Peltier's conviction are documented in Incident at Oglala, a 1991 film produced and narrated by Robert Redford. Chronicled are the events that occurred June 26, 1975, on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. There, a shootout between members of the American Indian Movement and a host of law enforcement agencies resulted in the deaths of the two FBI agents and one Native American.
Two other men were acquitted of the agents' murders before Peltier was captured and tried. Many believe that the government learned from its mistakes in the first trial and, therefore, fabricated the evidence needed to get a conviction in Peltier's trial. He received two consecutive life sentences for the crimes.

AND OTHER INHUMAN CRIMES

UNITED STATES PRISONERS OF CHINA AND
EDITED BY HARVEY ARDEN
Despite the legions of foreign and domestic dignitaries that have campaigned for Peltier's release, his legal appeals have been denied, and his only remaining hope for clemency is an order from the president. President Clinton has not commented publicly on the case.
Reasserting his innocence is a secondary tenet of "Prison Writings." Primarily, Peltier uses its pages to demonstrate that being chewed up and spit time and again by the legal system has not broken his soul or shaken his belief that there is a higher purpose for his suffering.
On his imprisonment, Peltier observes, "You don't do time. You do without it. Or rather, time does you. Time is a cannibal."
Peltier touches on a number of other subjects as well.
On hypocrisy: "America, when will you live up to your own principles?"
On the future: "When at last I'm a free man again, the real work will begin. Our most important work, before all else, is our survival as a people."
On hope: "My body may be locked in here, but my spirit flies with the eagle."
Commentary
IN THE SHADOWED
NIGHT
Sometimes
in the shadowed night
become spirit.
The walls, the bars, the gratings dissolve into light
and I unloose my soul
and fly through the inner darkness of my being.
I become transparent a bright shadow
a bird of dreams singing from the tree of life.
— from "Prison Writings: My Life Is My Sun Dance," by Leonard Pellier, United States prisoner #89637-132. Edited by Harvey Arden. St. Martin's Press, $23.95.
One of the most poignant passages of the book is powerful because of its matter-of-fact delivery.
Peltier writes, "I've learned the best way to be beaten is to relax as best as you can while clenching your stomach muscles, protect your head and genitals, and think of Sun Dance."
Peltier's acceptance of beating as a fact of life is jarring. The necessity for developing such a method must be something that only a people who have spent a lifetime being oppressed could conceive.
"When you grow up Indian, you don't have to become a criminal," Peltier said. "You already are a criminal. You never know innocence."
The Peltier who existed prior to that fateful day in 1975 has been a mystery for all but those who knew
Woven throughout his tale is Pellier's unlikely but unwavering belief in a better tomorrow, both for himself and for his people.
him then. This book changes that. It provides a context, both personal and political, for Pettier's role in the incident at Oglala.
"Like Nelson Mandela, you never know when you will suddenly and unexpectedly be called upon. He, too, knows what's like to sit here in prison, year after year, decade after decade. I try to keep myself ready if ever I'm needed." Peltier writes.
The analogy is startling. In America we cast stones at apartheid, but we live in a glass house.
Peltier spent two years recording his recollections on a legal pad with a pencil stub in the penumbra of his prison cell while the disembodied voices of other prisoners echoed in the cavernous interior of Leavenworth Penitentiary. From the pages of his diary, his clarion call is delivered: "I am undestroved."
sarveyed.
Facts that have emerged and documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act have not been kind to the government's case. While our great nation is preoccupied with a war against ethnic cleansing overseas, Peltier languishes in prison, America's emblem of its own dirty little secret.
The questions remain. Can blows beget poetry? Can injustice beget insight? Can suffering beget reconciliation? Read the book.

Vietnamese film captures longing beautiful imagery
By Elissa Harris Kansan critic
The sun rises for some of the world's people, and the shadows they create are inhabited by all others. Three Seasons is set in richly colored and extremely hectic modern-day Saigon, Vietnam. To call it a foreign film insinuates that it is different from our lives, when it is actually a movie about a place we are all looking for. No main character is the focus of this gentle, even somewhat lazy, tale of people searching for a sense of the past and a beauty for the future.
Hai (Don Duong), a cyclodriver (bicycle carriage), who spends his off time reading, falls in love with Lan (Zoe Bui), a young prostitute whom he transports from hotel to hotel. His desire is to see her from behind her mask of "whore" yet she pushes him away telling him she is unable to be anything but.
Woody (Nguyen Huu Doc), a little street boy whose eyes have lost their childhood, sells cigarettes and other brightly colored trinkets from a wooden box, yet the world rushes by not noticeing his little body standing in the pouring rain. James Hager (Harvey Keitel) an American veteran who spends his nights drinking with prostitutes is there to find a daughter he left behind and the peace he believes she carries with him.
Finally, a young girl Kien An (Nguyen Ngoc Hiep) is hired as a lotus seller and is discovered for her beautiful songs by a dying old man
Commentary
who has been looking for his own voice.
In the tradition of Asian films, Three Seasons is rich in images. It is astounding. From a blue fog rising from a lotus pond as a boat, lit by orange paper lanterns, is quietly rowed to a majestic old temple, to the sensuality of the elegant white lotus bud, the touch of lovers' feverish skin, and finally to the thirty years of sadness on a father's face when he finds his daughter in a place he never imagined.
According to Hai's fellow cyclo-drivers, the people for whom the sun rises are the people who live in the fancy hotels, the high-rising air-conditioned buildings that are believed to hold riches behind glass doors. A lot of those people are Americans.
This isn't a tale of morality, but of discovery, and I left the movie theater with a message of my own. Vietnam has been left behind in a shadow of our memories as a place where we once fought a war, as a place where many Americans lost their lives or their peace of mind.
In Three Seasons, people are looking for a peace before a war, and despite a looming shadow, are looking for peace within themselves.
Three Seasons was written and directed by Tony Bui. The running time is 110 minutes, and the movie is rated PG-13. Now showing at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts. Call the theater at 749-1912 for show times.
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — To make it in Hollywood, he had the look and the talent. But did he have the patience?
Five years ago canine sensation Scruffy was celebrating a measure of fame: He was starring in national television commercials and corporate training videos. Hallmark put his furry mug on greeting cards and calendars. He was a Kansas City Star Magazine cover story.
Hollywood beckons Kansas City canine
Not overly glamorous, but it was a long way from life at the pound.
That's where animal trainer Mike Reynolds met Scruffy, hours before the dog's scheduled demise. Reynolds took in the 68-pound bearded collie mix and quickly discovered his star qualities.
The break came earlier this year after Reynolds pored through The Hollywood Reporter and Daily Variety and began a new round of contacts.
Five years of success has given them a taste for Tinseltown, and now Tinseltown has come calling. Scruffy and Reynolds head to Los Angeles next month to film a romantic comedy titled PAP. Reynolds was told the coastars are Jeff Goldblum and Daryl Hannah, but the production company is hush-hush about the other talent. In his film debut, Scruffy will play Steak Bone.
"We got three responses out of 225 mailings." Reynolds said.
But, as they say, all it takes is one. Reynolds knew Scruffy had the talent — he's learned 156 behaviors, such as crazy dog, in which Scruffy runs around in tight figure eights.
And he has the look, including his trademark, mobile left ear that first attracted Reynolds. Reynolds taught Scruffy how to lift the ear on command.
Scruffy is familiar with photo shoots and film sets, although it will take a little practice to get him to work smoothly with the actors. Reynolds said. Filming is scheduled to start in mid-July and may last through August.
"I can't get him to cry on command but almost anything else." Reynolds said.
They will go a few days early to get the long-haired Scruffy accustomed to the climate. Reynolds said Scruffy will have an air-conditioned trailer, a necessity in the southern California summer heat.
The movie, scheduled for a November release, is the story of obstetrician Gordon Tyler, occupied morning and night with his starlet clientele, and his wife, Kay. They are a couple in marital turmoil.
Scruffy appears in more than 50 scenes, responding to the new name Steak Bone. Actually, said Reynolds, dogs don't really learn their names for movie parts. Instead, they hit their marks directed by trainers and helpers off-camera.
"The whole key is to make it look like he's doing it on his own." Reynolds said. "It can't look like he's looking at someone off-camera. That spoils the whole scene."
Scruffy hasn't just been waiting tables while hoping for his first movie part. In fact, he can be seen with Reynolds in a recent video, "Close Encounters ... of the Canine Kind," about dog-bite prevention. In the video, Reynolds demonstrates how to safely approach a dog and what self-defense postures to use if a dog approaches.
At 7 1/2 years old, Scruffy has three or four years of acting in him. Reynolds figures. And with lots of face time in a new movie, "one thing can lead to another," Reynolds said.
Local theater group brings dark comedy to stage

E. M.U. Theater, a local not-for profit organization that produces locally written scripts, is presenting its first full-length production June 17, 18 and 19 at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries building.
By Marta Costello
Kansan staff writer
White Plague is a dark comedy set in a bank vault following a nuclear explosion. Six people who were in the vault at the time of the explosion survive, and their continued survival depends upon their ability to work together.
Nathan Cadman, a co-founder of E.M.U., said the plot includes cannibalism, sex and drugs.
"There's no rock 'n roll, but you can't have everything," Cadman said.
The action takes place during a three- to four-month period of time in which all six characters remain trapped in this post-apocalyptic setting.
The show runs approximately two hours.
E. M.U. is a community-based theater collective devoted to producing theater written by local residents.
They are currently accepting script admissions from any local writers, actors, directors, and designers.
Trevor Ruder, director of White Plague, said that the initials E.M.U. contained no specific meaning, but rather conveyed the group's irreverent outlook. Ruder said the meaning depended on who you asked, and Cadman quipped, "It's a big bird that doesn't fly."
White Plague is E.M.U.'s fourth production. A fifth production, Living Pleasantly with Others, is expected at the end of July.
E. M.U. celebrates its one-year anniversary this August and has two other theatrical events planned for this summer.
Shows are at 8 all three nights with 11 p.m. shows on June 18 and 19.
White Plague is written by Greg Felke.

A look at punk history shows music's many sides
By Chris Eckert
Kansan music critic
For as long as punk rock has existed, its definition has been unstable.
What more embolies punk: the exuberance of the Ramones, the attitude of the Sex Pistols or the righteous anger of the Clash? Some combination? Can you be successful and punk? Was rock newspaper New Musical notice liking when it claimed the Kings-
men's Louie Louie was the first punk rock song?
A number of recent releases portrays different perspectives on the essence of punk.
Punk as Rock
Funk as Rock The Ramones were influenced by the Beach Boys, Phil Spector and others — all bubble gum candy rock. The only difference was that they really couldn't play their instruments or
TREVOR SALZMAN
Chris Eckert
sing well enough to achieve that level of music, and they were more dysfunctional, eschewing love and prom for glue sniffing and night clubs.
Electric Frankenstein's How to Make a Monster is certainly part of this lineage the Addams Family branch of the tree.
With a cover by art icon Coop, pictures of B-movie starlet Julie Strain as the Bride in the liner notes, and ghoulish songs like Cut from the Inside, Pretty Deadly and the introductory I Was a Modern Prometheus, Electric Frankenstein gets by on energy and enthusiasm, not showing anything new. They rock enough that you don't really mind
Punk as Underground
Both the early American and British punk scenes were very much an underground youth culture, the sort of thing that was almost guaranteed to garner complaints from your parents about "that trash you call music." In that sense, punk was accompanied, if not replaced in some quarters, by hip hop and later electronic/rave/dance, that amorphous beast the media call electronica and even harder to define than punk.
Jive Electro's compilation Old School vs. New School combines these two underground genres into one compelling album. Giving classic hip hop cuts from the likes of
Commentary
Whodini, Tribe Called Quest, Kool Moe Dee and even DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince to ultra-mod producers like Grooverider, Norman Cook, Bad Boy Bill and the Freestylers makes for a curiously nostalgic and modern album. Most importantly, it rocks, in a hip/h dance sort of way.
Punk as Rebellion
Even if rap and electronica have become the stuff of soft drink and car commercials, they are no less of a commodity than punk. Leading the charge of subsidized anarchy is Blink 182, whose new album Enema of the State is curiously billed as a more mature album in the promotional literature.
There are a couple of songs that don't exceed 100 beats per minute on the punk drumming scale, but with album art of a lascivious nurse and the three youthful, impish band members, tattooed and pierced, smirking in their underwear, what sticks out more are songs like Dysentery Gary.
Blink 182 is one of the headliners for this year's Warped Festival — another nail in the coffin of punk in the eyes of some purists. Sure, maybe Blink 182 is aiming too low, but ultimately they're having a laugh and getting a rise out of people, which is pretty much all the Sex Pistols were out for.
Punk as Folk
There's a theory that punk followed folk as a pervasive, storytelling genre of music — something that anyone could do to expose the hypocrisy of the world. Woody Guthrie had on his acoustic guitar the saying, "This machine kills Fascists." The German record label Digital Hardcore Records continues this tradition.
With 60 Second Wipeout, Digital Hardcore's founders, Atari Teenage Riot, produce another album full of songs like By Any Means Necessary, Your Uniform Does Not Impress Me and Death of a President DIY. The album is a stew of hip hop shouting, punk guitars and punishingly fast drum machine loops. ATR is so angry and loud that they got booed off the stage by a Rage Against the Machine fans. This album follows that formula.
OK, so none of this helped in defining punk. But, if nothing else, it illustrated how many variations can be achieved on a simple theme.

Big performances carry weighty film
As the film unfolds, Mamet presents the case of the youngest Winslow child, accused of theft at a military academy, as the Clinton-Lewisky-style scandal of its day: imbued by the public with a moral outrageousness that hyper-
The Winslow Boy is a deceptive title for David Mamet's newest film. Once the dramatic elements are set in motion, the motion picture becomes only marginally interested in the title character. Based on Terence Rattigan's play of the same title (which was itself based on an actual 1910 British trial), this version concerns itself foremost with exploring the emotional consequences of defending a set of beliefs, yet without knowing whether such beliefs are correct or unfounded, and without explicitly defining the emotions that almost certainly arise in such conditions. Mamet has stripped the characters of most outward emotions in order to examine the more complex, intellectual dilemmas inherent in an ordered, class-driven society such as this.
The film takes some time to deliberately establish its context in pre-World War I England, where high-minded manners and great reserve are the order of the day—completely removed from today's culture, ultimately linked only by the tabloid-style nature of the press and the seemingly insatiable public appetite for inane controversy.
It is in this environment that the Winslows have achieved some measure of success—the father (Nigel Hawthorne), a retired bank official who looks over his family with a somewhat jaded eye, awaits the future marriage of his daughter Rebecca Pidgeon) and deals with his oldest son's (Matthew Pidgeon) lack of interest in college at Oxford. He has pinned all of his hopes onto his youngest child (Guy Edwards), a student at the Royal Naval Academy.
Commentary
bolizes its somewhat trivial nature.
We are introduced to the lawyer, Sir Robert Morton (Jeremy Northam in the film's standout performance) who will ultimately defend the boy in an outstanding scene most typical of the Mamet style—staccato question/answer style dialogue, punctuated with doubt and inference. The only thing missing here is the profanity for which Mamet is so infamously known.
The trial grown in infamy, depicted in political cartoons and popular songs as a black-and-white issue, a litmus test of one's patriotism. The media attention and public interest ultimately lead to the case's inclusion as a major debate on no less than the floor of Parliament. But rather than focus on the trial itself, Mamet looks to the trial's effect on the Winslow family, finding telling details not in the facts of the case but in its emotional toll on those closest to young Guy Winslow. Indeed, the film's outcome is presented almost as an afterthought, backing up the film's contention that we cannot change the past, yet must not regret our choices and follow through on our convictions.
Performances are outstanding throughout the cast, but this is Jeremy Northam's film. He brings Morton to egotistical life, showing him to be quite blind in certain matters of importance (women's rights), yet not without his own strong merits. Also of note is the film's beautiful subtle score by Alaric Jans which never sinks to obvious, emotional cues so prevalent in popular cinema today and perfectly fits with the film's emotionally restrained schema.
The Winslow Boy opens Friday at Liberty Hall. Running time is 1 hour and 50 minutes. The film is rated G.
Wrestler's wife files wrongful death suit against KC
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The widow of professional wrestler Owen Hart announced Tuesday that her attorneys had filed a wrongful death lawsuit that she hoped would force changes in the wrestling industry.
Martha Hart, on behalf of her children, said she instructed attorneys to sue the World Wrestling Federation, the city and other parties she believes are responsible for the death of her husband last month in a stunt that went wrong at Kemper Arena.
ing the safety of the industry."
The lawsuit filed Tuesday in Jackson County Circuit Court was also on behalf of his parents, Helen and Stu Hart, a pioneer of professional wrestling in Western Canada.
"Owen has died, and there is nothing I can do to bring him back," Mrs. Hart said, fighting back tears at a news conference in Kansas City. "My wish is that his death not be in vain, that his death can be a vehicle for vastly improv-
The lawsuit contends that the device Hart wore the night of the accident was grossly inadequate for the stunt and unable to hold a 230-pound man.
Kansas City attorney Gary Robb said when Hart adjusted his vest on the catwalk, the movement triggered enough pressure to activate the release that plunged him to his death.
The lawsuit seeks damages that are "air and reasonable." Missouri law prohibits naming any specific dollar amount. However, lawyer Edip Palgragh of Calgary said last week he expected the jury to award millions in damages.
Hart — also known as The Blue Blazer — was killed May 23 when he fell from a cable as he was being lowered into the ring during a WWF match at Kemper Arena.
Hart, 34, fell 78 feet when the quick release on his harness opened early. Lawyers said he plunged to the wrestling ring at a speed of 50 mph. The impact ruptured Hart's aorta, causing him to bleed to death.
The lawsuit lists 46 separate counts against 13 defendants. Among the defendants are the companies that manufactured the harness and cable system used in the stunt as well as the individuals who set up the rigging.
Besides the WWF and its parent company, Titan Sports, the lawsuit named WWF chairman Vincent McMahon and the city of Kansas City, the owner and operator of Kemper Arena.
Alan Schmelze, general manager for Kemper Arena, had not seen the lawsuit, but he said: "We are as anxious as the Hart family to find out what happened. We will cooperate in every way."
The World Wrestling Federation declined to comment until it sees the lawsuit.
"We provided the facility. None of our employees or equipment had anything to do with the accident."
Mrs. Hart said she was filing the suit because those responsible for
the wrestler's death should be held accountable and no other wrestler for WWF should be subjected to the same unsafe conditions.
She said she was "outraged and repulsed" to learn that the WWF continued the show after her husband's dead body was removed from the ring before 17,000 spectators. "It demonstrates the mindset of the WWF and Vince McMahon," she said.
Kemper's Schulzelie said the decision to continue the show meant no disrespect for Hart. He said event organizers honestly didn't know if he was dead at that point.
Robb said after a performer is lowered from the catwalk with a nylon绳 by a rigger, the performer is supposed to pull a metal ring to activate a release cord attached to his vest.
The hook was designed for rigging sails on sailboats, and a ring leading to the release cord was attached to Hart's body with duct tape. Robb said.
The lawsuit says WWF failed to provide a safety net, safety harness, backup cables, and safety locks and that its agents failed to warn Hart of the lack of safeguards.
his vest just moments before the fall. Applying that minimal amount of pressure was enough to trigger the release mechanism, Robb said, explaining that it takes only six pounds of pull tension.
He said Hart was seen adjusting
The Harts allege that the city of Kansas City and its Kemper Arena failed to ensure Hart's safety in an inherently dangerous stunt.
Mrs. Hart; Owen Hart's brother, Bret Hart; and their parents, said they will have no further comment while the case is in court.
Investigators in Kansas City are conducting a criminal investigation into Hart's death that is unrelated to the civil suit.
Under Missouri law, the possible charge could be involuntary manslaughter due to recklessness. The charge carries a maximum prison sentence of seven years.

Season ends with applause
Radio theater faces funding problem
By Jason Beaver
Kansan staff reporter
The Imagination Workshop ended its season at Liberty Hall Saturday night. Audience members laughed and applauded as they watched the skits performed by the cast of the radio theater. The show was broadcast live on KANU 91.5 and is syndicated nationally by National Public Radio as part of its cultural programs package.
The Imagination Workshop started in 1985, created by its producer and writer Darrell Brogden. As a young boy, Brogden listened to tape radio theater, which inspired Imagination Workshop. The program is filled with wild parodies of different movies and commercials. For instance, the take-off on Stars Wars told of OBI-Wankenobi becoming OBGYN-Kenobi and the saying: "Use the foreskin Luke. Use the foreskin."
Some of the parodies were taken from the imaginations of the writers. In Rednecks in Outer Space three men in a fishing boat belch their way to save Earth from a band of cannibal women who eat every man they encounter after having sex with them.
"Headlines inspire a lot of the skits," Brogden said. "People like to laugh at the things they recognize in their every day lives."
The cast not only read its parts on radio, it also acted out its parts on stage, adding another dimension to its performance for the loyal fans who attend the shows at Liberty Hall during October to June season.
The cast is made up of seven members who have worked in radio and voice acting. If their faces or voices are familiar it may be because many of the cast members are active in the art
Jim Moore has been with the workshop for six years and is the mid-day voice of 98.1 KUDL.
Margi Posten, who is celebrating her tenth season, has had her voice in TV and radio commercials, including the Sprint long distance ads. She also is a cowriter of The Imagination Workshop.
Roberta Solomon is going on her sixth season in the workshop and is the voice of 28 radio and TV stations across America. She is also the voice of Kansas City KCPT.
"Every script from Darrell is a blessing," said Solomon "Being surprised by a cast member as they come up with new characters is my favorite part of being her."
Rick Tamblyn, a University of Kansas alumnus, works at 101 KCFX on the morning show and is also the host of the Fun & Fortune game game for the Missouri Lottery.
Teri Wilder is the producer for the Oldies 95 morning show and the voice mail voice for Sprint PCs.
John Jessup, who is in his tenth year, is co-producer of the Kansas City International Jazz Festival, as well as the voice of commercials, corporate videos and an occasional movie-of-the-week.
"This is the most fun and the most difficult thing I do," Jessup said.

"It's too much fun being a part of this," Kriegh said. "I love it when the people come to laugh and relax."
Besides from all the good times and laughter, Brogden and the cast are concerned about how many years The Imagination Workshop can continue.
"Funding is a problem." Brodgen said. "It would take a million dollars a week if we started doing this full time."
"It's like a catch twenty-two," Solomon said. "We need more air time to attract sponsors and sponsors want us to have more air time before they will sponsor us."

Stargazer records his experience in book
By Lisa John
Kansan managing editor
Even on a cloudy morning while sipping coffee outside a local coffee shop, Tom Van Holt's eyes turn starry as he talks about the wonders of the night sky.
It is such a simple topic: the stars that have beamed overhead since the day man was born and before; the stars that will be there tomorrow and the next. But to this Lawrence man, it might be said that indeed, the stars are more than that.
epunel
So much more so that Van Holt, a 1985 KU political science graduate, has just had his first book published, "Stargazing. What to look for in the night sky" (Stackpole Books).
In his book, Van Holt, 37,
strives to lead the beginning
stargazer to a vast appreciation
for and knowledge of the nighttime sky. The book includes
sketches of the constellations,
tells how to locate the stars and
planets and explains some of the
many myths, legends and old-
wives' tales of the night sky.
KU professor of astronomy Steven Shawl recommends Van Holt's book as an introduction to stargazing.
"It would be a good resource for anyone who enjoys the outdoors." Shawl said.
Van Holt, who has been an outdoors person and a watcher of stars for as long as he can remember, said his natural interest in astronomy was fueled by books he read as a child.
"As a kid I read a lot," he said. "Any kid reading books geared for his age — or even reading fairy tales — will find a lot of references to the stars."
These references, he said, helped root in him a foundation that would lead to a lifetime fascination with astronomy.
Astronomy is an uncomplicated and inexpensive hobby, Van Holt said.
Tom VantHolt's says his book about stargazing is written so that even a novice skywatcher can learn to spot the constellations. Photo by Lisa John/KANSAN
"Anybody can take a five minute drive to the country to get
away from the city lights, lie down on a blanket and watch the stars," he said.
Van Holt said his book is written so that someone with no knowledge of astronomy can read it and go outside and be able to recognize some of the constellations.
"What makes this an unusual book about astronomy is that it's not astronomy as science, it's astronomy as something you can use on a daily basis," Van Holt said. "It's astronomy as how it affects us right now today, or 30 years ago, not 500 years ago or what may happen with a space station 200 years from now. And it's how astronomy has had a tremendous impact on history. Astronomy is really the mother of all sciences and I think this book shows that."
Van Holt's book sells for $8.95, and can be ordered through local bookstores. It will be available at the Raven Bookstore later this month.

Fountains adorn city with wildlife artwork
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Fountains seem to be everywhere here, spurting from bronze dolphins and winged seahorses at City Hall, Greek gods and mermaids in the main shopping district, even around the ballbark scoreboard.
Kansas City calls itself "The City of Fountains," not just because it has so many of them, but because they all are so different, fitting into the labyrinthian landscape of the city's parks and boulevards.
While many have been around for decades — the oldest active one was built in 1899 — there were several newer ones and still more in the works.
"It's a huge team effort and it continues to be after they're up and running," says Anita Gorman, a member of the City of Fountains Foundation, a private fundraising group. "They have to have people watching over them all the time."
As to just how many fountains are there in the City of Fountains, no one can say. The parks department oversees about 40 public ones.
"There are so many that are on private grounds and corporations that nobody knows." Gorman says.
The city's first fountains, at the turn of the century, were not meant to be works of art. In fact, they weren't even meant for people. They were drinking fountains for horses and dogs.
Nowadays, visitors can find everything from a long reflecting pool along the mansion-like homes of Ward Parkway, near the Country Club Plaza, to a friendly muse with a net full of fish in the middle of downtown.
Some fountains are memorials, tributes to Vietnam veterans, Eagle Scouts and city firefighters killed in the line of duty. Others are just for fun, such as sculptures of children playing near the city's waterworks building and the square of 30-foot high dancing waters at Crown Center. One park has a fountain that doubles as a wading pool.
Visitors can make reservations for a guided, two-hour tour (by car or trolley) that takes in about 25 of the best-known public fountains in the greater Kansas City area.
One recent trip began at the Country Club Plaza, a pioneer of the American shopping mall built to look like Seville, Spain. Some of the most popular fountains are here, including the 8,000-pound cast lead sculpture of Neptune raising his trident and guiding his seahorse-drawn chariot.
There's also the goddess Diana gathered with children in front of a cascading waterfall, and a group of fauns, half-human, half-goat beings, sitting around a small rectangular pool.
The J.C. Nichols Memorial Fountain — the city's signature fountain — also is at the plaza, dedicated to the late developer who created the district and surrounding residential areas. He brought back much of the fountain art from trips to Europe. The first plaza fountain was set up in 1923.
"It was so successful that others who wanted to be successful wanted to emulate him, and it continues," Gorman says.
The fountain marks its 40th anniversary next year. The display of four bronze riders on horseback underwent extensive plumbing work last year, getting a new set of stainless steel pipes.
The pieces, which were transported from the garden of an old estate in Long Island, N.Y., are 10 1/2 feet high, surrounded by a two-tiered basin that shoots out streams of water. There's also a central geyser that spouts up to 30 feet. In between the horsemen is a smaller group of children riding dolphins.
While it's not certain what the horsemen represent, the most popular theory is that they stand for four rivers: the Mississippi, Seine, Rhine, and Volga. The Mississippi River horseman has a feathered headaddress and aims a spear at an alligator. The equestrian from the Volga is fighting a bear.
The fountains themselves must fight the ravages of time and weather. At least 10 around the city need varying degrees of rehabilitation, Mrs. Gorman says. Money raised by private organizations buys the fountains and creates an endowment; public dollars are spent to operate and maintain them.
Through the years, there has been an effort to build more fountains outside of Kansas City proper. One of the largest is the Northland Fountain, a big circular pool with a series of arch-spouting water jets that sits in the middle of some well-trafficked highways. It stands up well to freezing temperatures in the winter, showing off fountain ice sculptures.
You'll hear some people say that Kansas City has more fountains than any other city, including Rome.
"That's the height of podunk," the tour driver said dismissively.
Gorman has her own theory: "Rome had more, but they all don't work."
Flower business blooming success
SARCOXIE, Mo. — It doesn't take an outsider long to discover that this quiet, unassuming town in the southwest corner of Missouri, a town that took its name from a 19th-century Indian chief, is actually "The Peony Capital of the World."
The Associated Press
Indeed, if the billboard making such a claim to all who pass by Interstate 44's Sarcoxie off-ramp isn't enough to persuade you, simply point your car toward the end of that ramp. Then head south about a mile, to the main drag that connects Sarcoxie's town square to the rest of the world.
On any given day in the spring, you'll find pot尔斯 of peonies on the porches of the houses lining the street. Not to mention bundles more blooming in the greenbelts separating the sidewalk from the roadway.
Drop by the Gene Taylor Library and Museum, named for the beloved native son who served 16 years in Congress. There you'll find a pitcher full of the fragrant, ball-shaped flowers on the front counter.
"They seem to have brought the ants in with them today," says museum volunteer Rose Frazier, chuckling and shaking her head as she reaches out to squash one of the bugs.
But to learn why this is the peony capital of the world, and probably the day lily capital as well, one must make a run out to the northern edge of town, to Gilbert H. Wild and Son. It's a flower farm born more than 100 years ago when its nameake decided to make a little pocket
"Gilbert H. originally started when he was like 12, when he bought a couple dozen peonies and started putting them out for cut flowers," says Greg Jones, who bought the farm from the Wild family in 1991.
change by putting the colorful, green- stemmed flowers into the rich, chocolatebrown soil surrounding his family's home.
The flowers did so well that by 1885 Gilbert H. had founded the family business. Soon after the turn of the century, he had more than a million peonies blooming every year.
By the 1920s there were so many of the bright, colorful flowers in his fields that people began holding spring weddings there, and soon Sarcoxie was the site of peony festivals.
but then the rains came in record amounts in the 1950s, all but washing away Sarcoxie's now-famous crop. The Wild family responded by diversifying, planting day lilies and irises until things dried out enough for the peonies to stage a comeback.
The result: "Today we're the largest grower of peonies and day lilies in the world," Jones says. "And we grow about 200,000 irises as well."
There are more than 1.5 million flowers in all growing out of the farm's soil, including 2,800 varieties of day lilies, 601 varieties of peonies and 35 different kinds of irises.
They are shipped to every state in the nation, as well as some 40 countries. Most go to landscapers or homeowners, some to florists, and even some to cities and
parks.
"We have a major display at the St. Louis Botanical Garden right now," Jones says.
but selling them is the work part. And Jones, a burly man of 44 who dresses in work boots, denim shirt and blue jeans for his frequent forays into the fields, says he got into this out of love. A love for all things that grow out of the ground, but particularly for flowers.
"It takes your breath away," he adds.
"The fragrance the colors."
"There's nothing more beautiful than a field of peonies in full bloom," says the horticulturist, who keeps a framed print of Van Gogh's Irises in his office.
His 400-acre farm is a major tourist attraction to this town of 1,330 people, named for Chief Sarcoxie, the leader of the Turtle Band of Delaware Indians living here when white settlers arrived in the 1830s. Each day from late spring until the middle of the summer, people stop by to visit.
The day before, some 20 groups of people, including one from Kansas City, 150 miles away, showed up in a driving rainstorm and insisted on traipsing through the mud-soaked fields for a look.
"We get people who stop by for the day or just for an hour or two," says Jones, who gives each group a map and points them in the right direction.
Peony blooms are gone by the middle of June. But then the day lilies start to open up, and they won't be gone until August.
Web resources can jazz up KC trip
"At one time we'll have about 8 million day lilies in bloom," Jones says.

Fathers cherish childrens' many special gifts and family life
P
Ed Mitchell
Bruce Lieberman
Continued from page 1B
PETER PAN
Ed Mitchell, graduate student in Russian history, and his wife Olga have two sons, ages 11 and two.
Mitchell said a gift from his sons last year on Father's Day was one of the best.
"They gave me a Detroit Redwings T-shirt," he said. "I'm a passionate Redwings fan and I know that it's pretty hard to find a shirt like that around here, so it's cool that they got that for me."
As for his idea of the ideal Father's Day, Mitchell said he'd like to spend the day with the family at Lone Star Lake have a picnic, go swimming, relax and enjoy the kids.
Mitchell's wife Olga, who is from Russia, said there was no Father's Day celebration in Russia, but there was a sort of veterans day upon which men and boys were honored.
Bruce Lieberman, assistant professor in geology, and his wife Paulyn Cartwright have a daughter who is almost two years old.
"I'm just starting out," he said. "My Father's Day last year was good, and we'll see what happens this year."
An ideal Father's Day is spending time with family and having a nice, quiet meal, he said. With a small child, that is something that he doesn't often get.
Nick Haines, outgoing news director of KANU radio, and his wife Dawn have two children, ages three and one.
What have Haines' Father's Day experiences been like?
"With children that young, I can't say I've had Father's Day gifts," Haines said. "But I have to say that I do far more for my wife on Mother's Day in the name of my children than my wife does for me on Father's Day in the name of my children. And I think that's just the nature of fathers. Fathers are considered to be incredibly important in children's lives, yet I don't think fathers ever get their due on Father's Day the same way that mothers do on Mother's day.
"Essentially, when you look at the statistics that come out from Hallmark cards, you will see that fewer people
send Father's Day cards than Mother's Day cards. There are fewer children who call their fathers on Father's Day when they are away from home than there are who call their mothers on Mother's Day. So we need to be doing more for our fathers by remembering Father's Day."
Haines said he didn't have a preconceived notion of what Father's Day should be.
"My mother was a single parent and so I never had a father on the scene — so I never even thought about it," Haines said. "I never bought a gift for Father's Day. And so to me, though it's wonderful being a father. I've never really had to think about those things. I never valued the day in the same way because I never got to celebrate it with my own father."
Haines, who has been at KU since 1993, has accepted the position as director of news and public affairs at KCPT television in Kansas City, Mo.
Jeff Weinberg, assistant to the chancellor, and his wife Mary have two grown daughters.
Weinberg said it would be great if he could see both daughters on Father's Day this year.
Because one daughter lives on the West Coast and the other in Lawrence it hasn't been possible the last few years.
"And I always get a card from my dog." he said.
It's not just any dog. She is a nine-year old Yorkshire Terrier named Margaret Thatcher. But when Margaret Thatcher sends her master a Father's Day card, she drops the formality and simply signs her name as "Maggie."
"We tend to be a very close family and both Mother's Day and Father's Day are special days that we seem to take very seriously as a family." Weinberg said. "Not that the gifts are extravagant at all, but it's a time to say to one another how much we care for each other and that we love each other."
"I'll be getting a card from Maggie this year," Weinberg said, smiling. "Or at least her name will be on a card."

ER star changes look for movie
LOS ANGELES—In the new TNT film Pirates of Silicon Valley, Noah Wyle is ungroomed, arrogant and generally unappealing.
The Associated Press
An irresistible opportunity, says the actor, whose portrayal of Apple Computer Inc. magnate Steve Jobs is a sharp departure from the idealistic, fresh-faced physician Wyle plays on ER.
Not that he immediately jumped at the project, which chronicles the rise of Jobs and fellow computer empire builder Bill Gates of Microsoft Corp. Anthony Michael Hall plays Gates in the film debugging 8 p.m. EDT, June 20 on TNT.
"They sent over a documentary that aired on PBS a couple years ago, The Triumph of the Nerds. I popped it in the VCR, really on a whim to see what the guy looked like, and I was bowled over.
"The first clip of Jobs is in 1984, and he's standing on a stage at a stockholders' convention, introducing the Macintosh. He turns it on, and there's this gasp and thunderous applause, and this smile just comes across his face. It was such a hodgepodge of everybody's technology, but one man was on that stage taking credit.
Wyle initially ignored the script, citing his preoccupation with *ER*. Then the Pirates producers tried a different tactic.
"I turned to my flincece (make-up artist Tracy Warbin) and said, 'If I don't play this guy, I'm gonna kick myself for the rest of life.'"
Wyle said. Given his age - 28 - it could have been a long and bruising session. But Wyle's thoughtful approach to his career makes such a scenario unlikely.
In his off *ER* hours, Wyle has avoided rushing into quickie TV
Wyle said.
movies or sirt big-screen fare. Instead, he's leaned toward independent films like the family drama The Myth of Fingerprints. He's also been in local stage productions, including "The 24th Day."
Wyle: Plays Steve Jobs in a TNT movie this week.
The Myth of Fingerprints, part of the 1997
Sundance Film Festival, intrigued him because its script contained silences that seemed as eloquent as any dialogue, Wyle said.
"Coming from a family dynamic where silence was almost a weapon if you used it properly, I got excited about trying to show a family that did that and have it be interesting," said Wyle, who grew up with six siblings in Los Angeles.
Pirates of Silicon Valley offered the vibrant part of Jobs, who was portrayed as a sometimes-heartless visionary working to create a brave new high-tech world. It also was a smart exploration of a pivotal
"This story leapt off the page because I couldn't believe no one had done it before," Wyle said. "On the surface, it's a great American fable about how the largest accumulation of wealth in the history of mankind was obtained, and who got stepped over, stepped on, stabbed in the back in the process."
period. Wyle said.
"But underneath, you see the origins of a revolution that we're still feeling reverberations from."
The actor, impeccably dressed in a blue blazer and slacks and unerringly polite during an interview to promote Pirates, actually has more to talk about than his latest project.
His summer vacation is devoted in part to a venture that's close to his heart: his Blank Theater Co., which sponsors a young playwrights' festival. He helps fund it somewhat improbably, serving as spokesman for a Maalox campaign celebrating American heroes and donating his fee.
the theater, run by Wyle and Daniel Henning, culls 10 plays from nationwide submissions, brings the authors to Los Angeles and stages their works. Wyle usually joins the cast of one production.
"It's one of the more rewarding things we do," Wyle said.
For fiscal rewards there's *ER*, which enters its sixth season on NBC this fall, has consistently ranked as TV's top-rated drama and has allowed its stars to reap multimillion-dollar salaries.
All that hasn't kept the cast
intact. Sherry Stringfield checked out early, George Clooney hung up his stethoscope last season to intern as a movie star and Juliana Margulies would leave in 2000. Wyle, however, says he is staying put as Dr. John Carter.
"When the show started, no one knew what to expect. Then, when it became immensely popular, the natural progression was to see it as a stepping stone to somewhere else," he said.
else, he said.
"I just came around to the fact this isn't so much a springboard as it is a great experience; why not sit with it as long as it will run. It's never gonna happen to us again. None of us are going to do a television series with this kind of impact.
"I'm a young man, I've got plenty of time to explore other parts and roles. ... If the writing stays as consistently strong as it's been and the people on the set are as passionate as they are, I have no reason to leave."
WHEN ROYALS WED: As we breathlessly await the June 19 wedding of Britain's Prince Edward and Sophie Rhys-Jones, Romance Classics promises a behind-the-scenes special chronicling their courtship and assessing their chances for marital bliss. Former boyfriends, girlfriends and teachers, we are told, spill the beans. Edward and Sophie: The Making of a Royal Marriage, shows 8 p.m. EDT today on the cable channel.
ESU summer theater opens 45th season
The Associated Press
EMPORIA — Summer theater might be described as artistic boot camp.
"We live together, eat together, sleep in the same area or even the same room," said Misty Rogers, a theater student at Emporia State University and a member of the 1999 Emporia State University Summer Theatre company
Rogers plays Portia, one of the stepsisters, in "Cinderella," which opened the 45th season of the Summer Theatre. The program is the longest-running summer stock in the state, said Harry Parker, director of theatre.
During the summer, the company of 31 students and four interns along with nine faculty members and guest artists will produce four stage productions.
What looks on the surface like a logistical nightmare runs with military precision — even when the air conditioner breaks as it recently did.
during summer theater, the cast uses Brightman Lecture Hall and two classrooms in the science building for rehearsals. But a faulty air conditioner in Brightman shortened some rehearsals for "Cinderella" and canceled others.
Parker then had to find another large room on campus for the rehearsals. After the cast carried props across campus from Brightman, rehearsal started a few minutes late in Roosevelt Hall.
At the same time, pieces of the set were spread across the stage of Bruder Theatre as technicians painted them before mounting them on platforms.
This meant the set would be ready for the crew watch, in which the cast runs through the show while the crew watches from the audience.
"We're on schedule," said Darryl Carnall, Summer Theatre technical director.
Then came stage rehearsals.
Then came stage rockwork.
Before that, the cast worked on stages with colored tape indicating where the set pieces and some props, such as chairs and stairs, would be. Other props were still being built by prop
manager Heather Belcher.
The props included two giant ples, pumpkins and pigs' heads carved from Styrofoam and four. 6-foot-tall poles of flower arrangements.
Downstairs, Doris Nash, costume shop manager, was overseeing the work on about 15 new costumes designed by Su J. Mai, a faculty member and costume designer for "Cinderella."
"Su designed the costumes for 'Once Upon a Mattress,' Nash said. "We've pulled those and are using them for the chorus."
As much as possible, other costumes have been kept simple, allowing few changes. For instance, the Prince will wear the same tunic throughout the show.
"We added a short cape for the ball and a longer cape for the wedding." Nash said.
wedding. That was the costumes would have to be complete by opening night.
"We always shoot for having everything there for the first dress rehearsal," she said.
"We'll have all the major quick- change pieces finished by then.
This will allow the actors time to practice making their quick costume changes.
As the last week of preparation wound down to opening night, everyone involved knew there was no time to take it easy. Production meetings for the next show were already scheduled.
It's that overlap that appeals to Parker.
"We'll rehearse 'Deathtrap' and work on the scenery while 'Cinderella' is performing at night," she said.
"Deathtrap" is followed by "The Comedy of Errors" and "Schoolhouse Rock Live."
Rachel Hebison, who plays Joy, another of Cinderella's stepsisters, also enjoys the intensity of summer theater. This is her fourth season in the company. She performed in shows during the school year, which are produced in about six weeks' time.
"During the summer, you're completely focused on theater, which I think is the most important thing about summer theater
— preparing you for what's out there. "Hebison said."

THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
Stadium progress receives booster
(USPS 650-640)
By Matthew Friedrichs
Kansan editor
Reporters and alumni who have purchased rights to the 36 scholarship suites should have access to the Memorial Stadium press box before the first home football game Sept. 11, thanks to an agreement approved Monday.
In a nearly unprecedented move, the University of Kansas has agreed to extend construction deadlines and pay Walton Construction Co., Kansas City, Mo. $300,000 if Memorial Stadium construction is finished in time for the opening game against California State-Northridge.
The Kansas Legislature's Joint Committee on Building Construction, which is required by law to consider any changes in excess of $25,000 to state building projects, approved an agreement between the University and Walton after KU officials said the new press box and suites would not be complete until possibly October without added incentives.
"We felt like this was probably the most viable option for us to get the project done for the first game," said Doug Riat, associate director of design and construction management.
Bob Frederick, athletics director, said that without the incentives, the press box and suites would not have been complete until Oct. 4, after three home games had been played. Frederick said delays could have cost the University as much as $1 million in lost revenue and immeasurable publicity.
"It would have just been disastrous," Frderick said.
Frederick said that problems began in November and that by February, Walton was asking for relief.
we were not in agreement on why they were behind or who was responsible," he said. The delay was caused by unforeseen problems, including sand used for footings that washed out and had to be replaced with the equivalent of three swimming pools of concrete, Frederick said.
Walton has also complained about the quality of the drawings, Frederick said. Both Frederick and Riat said there were no problems with the drawings.
Jack Wright, Walton chief operating officer, deferred all questions about the project to Pat Warren, assistant athletics director in charge of facilities, and to the University. Warren, the design and construction management office and Warren Corman, University architect, share responsibility for overseeing the project and ensuring its completion.
"Our focus is to try to get this job done," Warren said.
The only major change the University has made to the plans was the addition of 16 private restrooms to the suites, he said
Both Warren and Riat said the quality of the construction was not an issue.
The University extended Walton's deadline by 18 days from Aug. 13 to Aug. 31. If the project had not been completed by Aug. 13, Walton would have paid penalties of $2,500 a day for the first week, $5,000 a day for the second week and $10,000 a day in subsequent weeks.
Walton had the low bid for the project at $11,997,000 plus $49,800 for additional work.

Kansan file photo
The next lowest bidder was Law Construction Co., Wichita, with a bid of $12,790,000 plus $120,000 for additional work.
Walton will also receive bonuses —
$250,000 if the press box and suites are
ready for use by Aug. 31 and an additional $60,000 if the work is completed by Sept. 20.
Riat said that completion bonuses were uncommon for building construction, but that they were sometimes used on highway and bridge projects.
Since the agreement was reached about two weeks ago, Warren said that construction had sped up and that he was confident the new press box would be completed by Aug. 31.
The press box and suites are being paid for by the revenue generated from the $22,000 to $50,000 a year suites, a $6 surcharge on ticket sales and private donations.

AIDS project organizes airplane ride fundraiser
sy Kelly Kearns
Kanson staff writer
FIRST FLIGHTS
The airplane ride fundraiser will be held from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday, June 26 at the Lawrence Municipal Airport. All proceeds will go to the Aids Project.
Douglas County AIDS Project is offering area residents an opportunity to fly the friendly skies above Lawrence and it's for a good cause.
Gary Finch, coordinating pilot, said that two specialty planes would be flown. One is a 1940s twin engine Beechcraft nicknamed "Dragonlady." It will run from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The second specialty plane, "Russian Yak," is a World War II Russian fighter plane. It flies only one passenger at a time.
Finch said that 13 pilots will fly a total of 11 planes. The pilots, who are from the Lawrence area, normally don't fly commercial flights.
Pilot Gary Finch is participating in Red Ribbon Flights, a fund raiser for Doualas County AIDS Project. This Sunday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., airplane rides can be purchased at the Lawrence Municipal airport. Photo by Roger Nomer/KANSAN
Finch came up with the idea along with the other pilots because, for 20 years, they had taken part in an airlift fundraiser for the Kansas Nurses' Scholarship Fund.
Finch said that they chose DCAP because they believed it was a worthy cause.
"Our goal is to raise at least $7,000 this year," she said.
"I have a lot of friends that have either died of AIDS or are infected now. DCAP works very hard at supporting infected people and they never have enough funding." he said.
Airplane rides cost $18 for adults and $12 for children younger than 12 years of age. However, specialty plane rides cost more. The Dragonlady costs $20 and Yak

Peer universities offer mass transit models for Lawrence
CyRide passenger totals
The chart shows the number of passengers using the CyRide has program in Ames, Iowa since 1977. In the fiscal year 1982/1983, CyRide increased the number of buses per route from three to five, which cut wait time between buses. The Lawrence low commission has looked at the CyRide program as a model for public transportation here.

As the Lawrence City Commission begins work on a start-up bus system expected to be in place by early next year, the question of how the city system will work with the KU system, KU On Wheels, remains unanswered.
Two bus systems currently operating at peer universities — the University of Missouri and Iowa State University — may provide some insight.
An autonomous bus system One system being considered by the commission resembles the transit system in Columbia, Mo. - home to the University of
An autonomous bus system
MU contracts the service of seven buses, primarily for a shuttle running between campus and off-campus satellite parking. Combined with the evening service — which runs from campus to residence halls, Greek houses and the satellite lots — over 6,000 students ride the MU buses daily. They pay only $8.50 a semester for a bus pass.
Missouri.
The city runs 12 buses, 12 hours a day and — at 50 cents a ride — nearly 400,000 passengers have caught the bus since January. Columbia offers all-day passes to handicapped passengers for $1 on specially equipped buses.
"The appropriate concern is what will be good for everybody," Joy said. "If change is going to be good for the students, then from there we can figure out how to help, support and manage a workable bus system."
Jim Joy, MU Parking and Transportation Director, said he would be meeting with the city this year to discuss possibilities for increased cooperation between the two systems.
While the contract is with the city, the system is independent of city control, but city buses can
run through campus.
Ken Koopmans, Director of Columbia Transit, said that he expects merging the two systems could triple passengers on city buses, benefiting both the city and students.

StudEx calls for changes in University alcohol policy
By Matthew Friedrichs Kansan editor
Student concerns about alcohol policies that have grown more stringent in the past year resurfaced in a Student Senate Resolution earlier this month.
"It is not the alcohol we desire, it is the hypocrisy we deplore," reads the resolution.
The Student Senate Executive Committee voted 11-0 in favor of a resolution that condemns the University of Kansas for allowing alcohol to be served in the James Naismith Society Room adjacent to Allen Field House and in the scholarship suites under construction at Memorial Stadium. The resolution was offered by Partha Mazumdar, Pittsburgh, Penn., graduate senator, and Marlon Marshall, St. Louis, Mo., junior and StudEx chairman.
The resolution comes in the wake of increased University concern about student binge drinking. Last fall, Chancellor Robert Hemenway announced the cessation of beer sales at the Jaybowl and Hawk's Nest in the Kansas Union. The Department of Student Housing mailed letters to all on-campus students detailing a zero-tolerance policy for alcohol violations. The University also hired Jannette Berkley Patton to coordinate an alcohol awareness campaign that will include advertising to encourage responsible alcohol use by students.
"The University is supposed to be a guide for what we do," Mazumdar said.
Tom Hutton, director of University Relations, said alcohol is allowed at special events in designated areas, if approved by the chancellor. Hemenway has approval authority by permission of the Board of Regents.
ry by permission to the event. For Hemenway to approve alcohol at an event, it must be sponsored by a University group and no undergraduates can be present, said Jeannette Johnson, assistant to Provost David Shulenburger. She said five or six events a month are approved.
But Mazumdar and some other students see a contradiction between the University's policy for students and exceptions granted for special events.
Groups wanting to serve alcohol, including the athletics department, must submit a request in advance.
Athletics Director Bob Frederick said the ability to serve alcohol in stadium suites was something he discussed with former Chancellor Gene Budig while planning the press box expansion. Without the potential to serve alcohol, the athletics department could not have built the suites, he said, because the suites would have been difficult to lease.
Pat Warren, assistant athletics director in charge of facilities, said the suite agreement signed by users governs alcohol at Memorial Stadium. Fans who have suites may purchase their own alcohol and have it delivered Friday before game days. They can then serve alcohol during the game at their discretion.
"We're doing the exact same thing that K-State said." Warren said.
At other events, alcohol must be served by Kansas Union catering staff.
As for concerns about alcohol abuse at games, Frederick said the controlled area limited chances for dangerous behavior.
"We certainly haven't had any problems in five years at the Naismith Room," Frederick said.

Fulbright grants to send five KU students abroad
The 1999-2000 academic year marks the first time Fulbright scholars will be admitted to China, and a University of Kansas graduate will be among the first five scholars to go.
Nicolas Zaller, a Tulsa, Okla., graduate in microbiology and East Asian languages and literature, will conduct research in China for a public health agency studying a freshwater parasite responsible for an intestinal disease.
Karla Kral, a doctoral student in anthropology from Akron, Ohio, also received a grant. She will be going to Mexico to examine Mexican women's social and economic roles in maintaining kinships and cultural ties across national boundaries in Chihuahua City, Mexico, and Garden City, Kan. Following an academic year in Mexico, she will spend an equivalent period in Garden City.
There were three other Fulbright grants announced in May for KU students, Paul Dunscomb, a doctoral student in History from Ossining, N.Y., will go to Japan to study the political aspects of the Japanese occupation of Siberia from 1919 to 1922. Stacie Lightner, Garden City fine arts graduate, will study organ performance in Germany. Lori Ann Mah, Topela graduate in civil engineering, will study reinforced concrete at Chalmers University in Gothenburg, Sweden.
A Fulbright grant covers round-trip travel, health insurance, living expenses and tuition for nine to 10 months of study or research or both. KU's Office of International Programs coordinates the U.S. Fulbright Student Program and the U.S. Fulbright Scholar Program for faculty.
Glitches cause delay in diploma distribution
Graduates will be able to pick up their diplomas from the registrar's window, 123 Strong Hall, starting July 9. Those who pick up their diplomas must have
photo identification.
Diplomas will be sent July 9 to students who paid the fee to receive them by mail.
Bob Turvey, associate registrar, said that minor delays cost a day or two of processing.
"A couple of schools had problems determining the status of some students, and we also had a small computer malfunction," Turvey said.
For more information, call the University registrar, 864-4422.

Exxon Valdez captain begins community work
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Capt. Joseph Hazelwood put on an apron and gloves yesterday to serve up salad at a soup kitchen as part of his community service ordered after the Valdez oil spill.
After nine years of appeals, Hazel-wood began his sentence of 1,000 hours of service on Monday by loading roadside junk onto a truck. The move indoors will allow him more meaningful work, said his lawyer, Michael Chalos.
Hazelwood was the skipper of the oil tanker Exxon Valdez when it ran aground in 1989, spilling 1.1 million gallons of crude oil into Prince William Sound. It was the nation's worst oil spill.
He was convicted in 1.990 of a misdemeanor charge of negligent discharge of oil.

France toasts U.S. critic for his wine expertise
PARIS — American wine critic Robert Parker, widely regarded as the world's top expert on French wine — even by the French — was made Chevalier of the Legion d'Honneur, France's highest award, westerday.
President Jacques Chirac presented Parker with the red-ribboned medal in a formal ceremony at the Elysee Palace.
Parker received the award along with
nine other figures noted by Chirac to have served France by bringing prestige to the country with their particular gift. In Parker's case, Chirac said this meant being the man who taught America about French wine.
Chirac said Parker was the most listened to and most influential wine critic in the world.
"Parker's Wine Buyer's Guide," one of the wine critic's many publications, has become a bible for wine lovers. And in France, a country where wine is sacred, the book spent 27 weeks on the list of top 10 books in 1997 and 1998.
Parker said it was historic for an American wine critic to be honored for his contribution by the French.
Past American recipients have included Neil Armstrong, Robert De Niro, Colin Powell and Ronald Reagan.
U.S. continues to bomb in no-fly zones in Iraq
ANKARA, Turkey — U.S. fighter jets bombed a military command center in northern Iraq yesterday after Iraqi forces fired on the planes in the northern no-fly zone, the U.S. military said.
The Air Force F-15s and F-16s attacked Iraq northwest of Mosul, a city 250 miles north of Baghdad, the U.S. European Command said.
The Iraqi army, in a statement carried by the official Iraqi News Agency, claimed the planes attacked civilian installations. Iraq reported no casualties or damage.
The attack came after the warplanes, which are enforcing the no-fly zone north of the 36th parallel, were fired on by anti-aircraft artillery, the European Command said.
AII U.S. planes returned safely to Incirlik air base in southern Turkey. The damage to the Iraqi sites was being assessed.
It was the second attack on an Iraq command and control site reported by the U.S. military this week. On Monday, U.S. jets attacked another installation north of Mosul after being fired on by anti-aircraft artillery.

A jury in the rape trial against Gregory Hunsucker II, Olathe, sophomore, deliberated for three hours but could not come to an unanimous decision on whether he was guilty.
Rape trial ends with hung jury
By Katie Burford Kansan campus editor
"We had holdouts on both ends," said Angela Wilson, Douglas County assistant district attorney.
The rape charge and two other charges — furnishing alcohol to a minor and sexual battery — stemmed from events that occurred early in the morning of Oct. 17 in Ellsworth Hall. A female resident of the hall said that Hunsucker had held her down, fondled her breasts and penetrated her vagina with his finger without her consent.
Hunsucker said that the two had sex, but it was consensual.
A charge of sexual battery was filed after a female Ellsworth Hall resident assistant reported that later the same morning, Hunsucker hugged her, kissed her on the forehead and put his hands on her neck without her consent.
The jury found him not guilty on the charge of sexual battery.
Hunsucker pleaded guilty to furnishing alcohol to a minor. He admitted to having a party in his room, also in Ellsworth Hall, during which he served alcohol to people
under 21 years old on the night of Oct. 16. The law does not require that a person be of age to be charged with furnishing alcohol to a minor.
The trial, presided over by Judge Jack Murphy, began at 9 a.m. June 16 and concluded about 4 p.m. June 18. Of the 12 jury members, 11 were women.
After the trial had ended, Wilson, along with Dave Zabel, co-prosecutor, and Don Smith, assistant district attorney and the defendant's attorney, spoke to jury members for their assessment of the trial.
"All the jurors were very forthright about their impressions." Wilson said.
Wilson and Zabel will discuss with the victim and District Attorney Christine Tonkavich whether to seek another trial.
Wilson said that, technically, it was legal to retry the case an indefinite number of times, so long as the result was a hung jury. She said that their decision to do so would depend on the victim's willingness to pursue the matter.
Hunsucker, accompanied by friends and family, expressed relief at the trial's conclusion. For furnishing alcohol to minors, he was fined $250, ordered to pay court costs and to undergo an evaluation for alcohol treatment.

City buses could follow peer leads
Continued from page 1A
"There would be less congestion, less traffic, less pollution — I think that would serve the public better than a new downtown parking garage," Koopmans said.
Joy said that the main obstacle to integrating the city and MU buses was financing such a system. MU covers its contract payments with student fees and parking revenue. Columbia's buses are heavily subsidized by state and federal grants, with only 25 percent of operating costs being met with fares. Joy said it was unclear how the two systems might merge without student riders bearing the bulk of the cost.
An integrated bus system
In Ames, Iowa, the city and Iowa State University have long since jumped that hurdle, running a unified bus system since 1976. The city's bus system — called CyRide — is a joint venture between the city, the ISU administration and the ISU student-body government.
CyRide's 48 buses encourage nearly 3 million passengers annually to get out of their cars and still get to work or to the theater on-time. Eight fixed routes running from 6:30 a.m. to midnight are complimented by Dial-A-Ride — a service oriented to hand-capped riders — and the Moonlight Express, which runs Friday and Saturday until 2 a.m. Fares are 35 cents for students and 75 cents for all other riders.
Tom Davenport, CyRide's administrative assistant, attributed the system's success to its Board of Trustees. Representing the three branches of CyRide, the Board meets several times a year to tailor the bus system to the cities' changing needs. Two of the three branches must agree before any change is made.
"You have to be willing to help both University-related and non-University interests," Davenport said. "There's no way we'd have the system we have today without this kind of cooperation."
CyRide is set up as a department of the city to qualify it for federal grants, which make up 28 percent of the transit budget. The remainder of the system's costs are shared between:
ISU Student Body Government, 29 percent
Fares, 20 percent
City of Ames, 16 percent
ISU Administration, 7 percent
Davenport said CyRide — which won the All-America City Award in 1983 — covered 80 percent of Ames but was focused around ISU. He said that students constitute the bulk of passengers and bore a proportionate share of local costs.
The total number of riders jumped by nearly 1 million when CyRide increased from three to five buses per route in 1983.
"As soon as the time between buses decreases, ridership rises dramatically," Davenport said. "There's a big difference between having a bus come by every 20 minutes versus every half-hour."
Lawrence considers the options
Jim Henry, Lawrence city commissioner thinks the city will start an independent bus system to serve areas not covered by KU On Wheels, he said.
"I'm sure ultimately we're going to have work closely with the University to have
a single fixed-route system that serves the entire community the best it can," Henry said.
He also said the commission has been working with a consultant to look at how other cities, like Ames and Columbia, have managed coordinating university and city systems.
Holly Krebs, KU On Wheels Director thinks two independent bus systems would probably be a disaster.
To actually figure out the logistics of a coordinated system, we need to include all the different components of Lawrence," said Krebs, Oskaloosa senior. "That's the only way this is going to work."
In addition to the University of Kansas, Krebs said that successful planning should include Haskell Indian Nations University, the Citizens for Public Transportation, senior citizens groups and area businesses.
If KU On Wheels and Lawrence decide to merge their buses, first they would have to negotiate a Kansas statute restricting the use of student fees to student activities.
Rose Marino, KU Associate General Counsel, said that, depending on the specifics of the city's proposal, the statute may not impede a coordinated system.
The success of Lawrence's start-up bus system is critical if it is to win community support, Krebs said.
"There are so many people in Lawrence that stand to benefit from a city-wide bus system that we need to sit down and make this the best system possible."
High school journalists learn skills at KU
Edited by Mike Miller
Bv Carrie Petree
Kansan staff writer
Potential future Jayhawks have come to the University of Kansas this week to learn a little about the University and a lot about journalism.
Since Sunday, high school journalism students have participated in the Kansas Journalism Institute, which will run through tomorrow. This is the 36th year for the annual summer program, and about 160 students from seven states are in attendance.
Participants attend journalism classes in Stauffer-Flint Hall, Ellsworth Hall, Budig Hall and the Dole Human Development Center.
at William Allen White School of Journalism in the summer of 1991.
The Kansas Journalism Institute, under its current name and format, was started after John Hudnall, director of the Institute, became executive director of the Kansas Scholastic Press Association and a member of the faculty
Hudnall said that the focus of the camp evolves each year but that an emphasis is placed on hard work. He said that it is important for students to come to the Institute ready to work.
Not all students realized just how intense the program was until they arrived.
Victor Meyer, Rolla High School senior from Rolla, Mo., came to the Institute because it was suggested by his newspaper teacher, who did not tell him how much effort would be required.
"It is a lot more like school than I expected, too much so." Meyer said. "I thought that I would have more free time and more freedom."
Although the workload may be heavier than expected, work and productivity are emphasized so that students can return to their publications' staffs with ideas, stories, designs and plans for the upcoming year.
"I came to KJI because I wanted to learn more about design so that our yearbook could be better," said Kelly Roberts, Spring Hill High School senior from Spring Hill.
One thing that Meyer, Roberts and others agreed on is that the best part of the camp was meeting new people.
"I really did not know what to expect, so it is all kind of new to me — the learning and the people," Roberts said. "But that is the best part."
The high school students are living in Ellsworth. Hudnall said the students' experiences in campus residence halls is an integral part of the summer program because it gives them an idea of what college life is like.

History museum to bring renowned Kansas figures to life
Bv Amanda Sanders
Special to the Kansan
On Sunday, two famous historical figures will be brought back to life at the Watkins Community Museum of History.
Kansans Speak Out, the annual Douglas County Historical Society fundraiser, will feature portraits of native Kansan artist John Steuart Curry and locally active abolitionist John Brown
Curry is best known for his murals in the Kansas State Capitol, one of which depicts John Brown. Brown, who came to Kansas in 1854, fought pro-slavery forces during the territorial period of "Bleeding Kansas."
W. Stitt Robinson, coordinator and moderator of the event, said the presentations were in the Chautauqua technique, which had been popular until about the 1930s.
The actors will give speeches as if they were
Curry and Brown.
Each presentation lasts at least 30 minutes. At the end of each speech, the audience may ask questions while the presenters remain in character.
"This type of presentation is theater as well as art," Robinson said. "So for anyone interested in those two areas or in Kansas history, this is right on target. And, of course, we invite students to come."
Robinson, who has arranged the event for four years, said about 100 people had usually attended. He also said that this had become quite a mid-summer tradition.
"These have been very successful programs over the years," he said. "I've been surprised at how popular this is."
Don Lambert, Topeka resident, will portray John Steuart Curry. Lambert has portrayed Curry many times. He said his portrayals often
"Most of us know Curry's murals in the state building," Lambert said. "They're impressive but easy to dismiss in the modern, busy world. When I'm able to hold an audience for an hour and tell them that when he painted the murals it was met with great criticism so that he couldn't finish the project, their mouths drop. So then they go back and look again at the murals. But now they're looking at the power and the majestic ideas behind them."
nan given people a new perspective on Curry's work, and he tried to bring out the trials and murals of the people represented in Curry's murals.
Marvin Stottlemire of Topeka will portray John Brown under the title of "John Brown: Madman or Martyr?"
Tickets are $10 and are available at the museum.

Midwest Music Camp begins the traditional summer performance
By Matthew Friedrichs Kansan editor
A young man stood on the top riser behind four rows of fellow students dressed in dark slacks, white shirts and ties, and bounced a blue rubber ball on the Lied Center stage.
But when the chair director raised her hands, the young man and the other junior high students squared their shoulders, opened their mouths and prepared to sing to the quiet crowd of parents, family and friends.
Saturday's concert was the first performance for students at KU's Midwest Music Camp, a 64-year tradition that about 1,100 junior high and high school students will attend this summer.
"It's a service to the youth in the Midwest because this is not an opportunity these students would have otherwise," said David Bushouse, camp director.
Students at the junior high sessions practice, study and play for one week with two of the following groups: band, choir, orchestra and piano.
Students attend the senior high sessions for two weeks and also may participate in jazz ensembles.
Kathy Rose-Mockry, program director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, encouraged her junior high son to attend junior high camp based on experiences she had with similar camps in Southern California.
"It looked like a wonderful opportunity for him," she said. Students receive instruction
Students receive instruction
and direction from KU faculty members and guests of the department Bushouse said.
For the 32nd year, Col. Arnald Gabriel, former director of the United States Air Force band and orchestras will direct the bands and orchestras July 10.
Bushouse said campers should leave with experience like those provided by high-profile instructors with improved music skills, motivation and confidence.
And two Central Junior High School students waiting backstage to perform Saturday voiced those hoped-for results.
"It's a chance to meet new people who actually share a single interest," Adkins-Heljeson said.
Sean Edmiston, a Lawrence resident who plays the trumpet, sat on the steps next to Adkins-Hellison.
Kelvin Adkins-Heljeson, a Lawrence resident who plays the French horn, said he enjoyed attending camp.
"I came last year and it was really fun," Edmiston said. "It really helped me a lot."
And besides, added Adkins-Heljson, it's a good way for parents to get their kids out of the house for a week.
The second group of junior high students will perform beginning at 1 a.m. Saturday at the Lied Center.
Senior high students arrive Sunday. Jazz concerts will be at 7 p.m., July 2 and July 9.
Senior high choirs will perform at 9:30 a.m., orchestras at 11:30 a.m. and bands at 1:30 p.m., July 3 and 10.

Board of Regents welcomes members, new responsibilities
By Matthew Friedrichs
Kansan editor
The governing body that will determine how the University of Kansas interacts with other Kansas universities, community colleges and technical schools began to take shape this week.
Gov. Bill Graves announced Monday that he had appointed four current Regents and five new members to the Board of Regents effective July 1.
Kim Wilcox, interim executive director of the Regents staff and professor of speech, language and hearing, said Graves chose well-qualified individuals with a commitment to education.
"Optmism is the key word," Wilcox said.
Previously, the Regents made decisions concerning only Kansas State University, Pittsburg State University, Emporia State University, Fort Hays State University, Wichita State University and the University of Kansas.
The Regents have traditionally allowed the state universities to run their own affairs, while closely watching how the schools administer their budgets.
"Everything that happens at the universities is ultimately the Board's responsibility." Wilcox said.
The new Regents will have additional responsibilities because the Kansas Legislature voted this spring to move governance of community colleges and technical schools from the State Board of Education to the Regents.
How the inclusion of the new schools will affect the University, state allocations for higher education and cooperation between institutions is a question that will be answered only after the newly constituted Board convenes.
While most administrators say individual affiliations won't affect Regents decisions, five of the newly appointed Regents have KU graduate degrees, and three also have KU bachelor's degrees.
Mary Burg, assistant to the chancellor, said the University had worked closely in the past with all the new Regents except Floris Jean Hampton, Stephen Clark and Janice DeBake.
Mary Hawkins, faculty senate president, echoed the sentiments of other KU representatives when she said she was pleased with the selection of four current board members.
Chancellor Robert Mwenham and Provost David Shulenburger were out of town, but Shulenburger issued a statement through University Relations.
"Although KU Chancellor Bob Hemenway is out of town at the moment, I know I speak for all of KU when I say that we are pleased to be able to continue working with Bill Docking, Clay Blair, Harry Craig and Sylvia Robinson." Shulenburger said. "It is with eagerness that I look forward to meeting our new members of the Kansas Board of Regents and this new era of coordinated higher education in Kansas."

Spooner Hall to receive facelift
By Lisa John
Kansan managing editor
When William Brown Spooner died in Boston in 1880, among the assets he left to his wife were his horses, harnesses, carriages and his robes. To the University of Kansas, he left Spooner Hall.
The $91,000 bequest to the University financed the construction of the building that bears his name, as well as the first chancellor's residence. Spooner Hall was dedicated on Oct. 10, 1894, when the University was 28 years old and there were only five buildings on campus.
Today, after 105 years of enduring Kansas weather and temperatures, Spooner is due for a facelift.
Bud Stallworth, assistant director for Design and Construction Management, said the $330,000 project to repair the front exterior of Snooker is basically a stone restoration project.
"We will go in and remove all the stonework on the porch area, and then we'll do structure rehabilitation." Stallworth said.
The stones will be cleaned and repaired before being replaced.
Under most conditions, replacing stone is a simple procedure. In but in the case of Spooner, it has difficult. The University has been unable to determine the origins of the stone.
Stallworth said that when the renovation was in the beginning stages of planning, the intent was to find replacement stones that matched the existing stones.
"But we couldn't find it, so we'll use the existing stones and patch as needed." Stallworn said.
This is where Gary Keshner's company, Creative Sculpture and Restoration, comes in. Workers from the Kansas City, Mo., company were in town last week to test different patching samples on Spooner.
Even though some samples were close, Kesher was not satisfied with the match.
There are two shades of sandstone on the front, Keshner said.
"We've got the orange, but we don't have the reddish-orange vet."
In testing the samples of sandstone, workers removed loose sandstone from a pillar, mixed water with the powdered sandstone, and spread a layer about one-inch thick on the small area. They let it harden, and then cut decorative grooves into the material, imitating the original cut stone.
"We'll let it set up for a week and see how hard it gets and how the color is," Keshner said. Keshner's work is no stronger to KU.
Mark Reiske, production manager at Design and Construction Management, remembers when Keshner's company repaired the lion heads and terracotta on Strong Hall in 1994. The repairs are still in good shape after five years.
"We get up on Strong once a year to make sure the roof's OK, and a lot of the work he did is up high there, and we don't have any visible damage." Reiske said.
Stallworth said the work on Spooner will begin soon, with Kissick Construction Co., Kansas City, Mo., in charge of the structural repair. The estimated contractual obligation for completion of the project is 150 days, Stallworth said.

Students charge into high debt, poor credit
By Scott Gootee
Special to the Kansan
At the ring of the cash register, Nick Pruitt, Overland Park sophomore, frees his wallet from his back pocket to check the situation. If the cash looks low, the credit card makes its grand entrance.
In one swift, fluid motion he hands the card to the store clerk, signs the receipt, grabs his merchandise and is out the door before giving the situation a second thought.
card.
"It's almost instinct now," said the eager shopper. "I am sure I could charge in my sleep."
Pruitt said that he was not always so free-wielding with his credit
"I originally got it for emergency situations, but that quickly changed to situations of convenience," he said. "I just got my second card in the mail yesterday."
Robert Manning, a Georgetown University sociologist, conducted a study of student credit card usage, which was sponsored by the Consumer Federation of America. The study found that about 70 percent of students at four-year colleges have at least one credit card with an average of more than $2,000 debt. One-fifth of the student card holders was more than $10,000 in debt. Manning concluded that student credit card debt was a substantial problem.
"The unrestricted marketing of
credit cards on college campuses is so aggressive that it now poses a greater threat than alcohol or sexually transmitted diseases," he wrote in his study.
Manning outlined many reasons for the problem but stressed two: the aggressive marketing techniques of credit card companies, and universities that allow it.
Manning's study and others have prompted universities across the nation to place restrictions on campus marketing. One technique is prohibiting credit card promotion in bookstores.
While the University of Kansas cannot legally sell lists of enrolled students to companies, KU bookstores do include applications in all of their
mags. Mike Reid, KU Bookstores manager, said that they had received some complaints, but explained that they did it to keep costs down.
"The actual company we buy our bags from gets the direct proceeds of the credit card marketers, but we are offered the bags at a lower price," he said.
Reid said he was torn on the issue. "We've been talking about it for years," he said. "We do it, student groups do it, and the Alumni Association does it. Some of these groups depend on the money from marketing. Also, 50 percent of our sales come from credit card purchases. If we can't promote them, than why should we accept them?"

Graves slow to join capitol e-mail trend
The Associated Press
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The governor of Arkansas takes a cellular phone and laptop on fishing trips. The governor of Kansas doesn't even have a computer terminal in his office.
When it comes to cyberspace, most governors are wired to the Internet, but not many use e-mail on the same scale as Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida, who spends 25 to 30 hours a week sending and receiving electronic mail.
In Wisconsin, Gov. Tommy Thompson gets quite a bit of e-mail, spokesman Kevin Keane said
Thompson often reviews hard copies of e-mail messages but occasionally opens them up himself.
"That seems to be the communications method of choice with more and more people." Keane said.
"He's learning how to use a computer more and more himself, but he's still a phone person," Keane said.
`while Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee makes sure he's wired on even the water, Kansas Gov. Bill Graves doesn't have a computer terminal in his office. But Graves' office gets about 120 e-mails a week from constituents. Staffers answer them all.`
Gov. Paul Cellucci of Massachusetts is just venturing into cyberspace.
I do it a couple times a week, so
maybe 20 minutes," Cellucci said. "It takes me 10 minutes to type out one of those little messages."
Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack does use e-mail to communicate with constituents but probably spends less than an hour a week on e-mails. Staff members screen the messages, and Vilsack answers a few of the ones shown to him.
"I just don't have the time to read them all," he said.
Maine Gov. Angus King, meanwhile, reads and answers e-mails from the public and officials between meetings and at home at night, spokesman Dennis Bailey said.
"Any time there's a break in the action, he's on the e-mail," Bailey said.
Georgia Gov. Roy Barnes uses email to communicate with department heads and others — even reporters.
"I also answer citizen e-mail but, of course, try to attend to the department heads and others that need an immediate answer," Barnes e-mailed The Associated Press. "I generally get 75 to 100 per day. I don't know how much time that corresponds into.REB."
Freshmen swingers
North Dakota Gov. Ed Schafer also relies on e-mail. He accidentally helped spread the "Melissa" e-mail virus in March, but he still uses e-mail, including when he travels.

Cloud-seeding may have tackled tornado
The Associated Press
LAKIN — Nine pilots who took off on a cloud-seeding mission to weaken a hail storm last week may have diffused a tornado, a state weather official said.
Pilots from the Western Kansas Weather Modification Program poured cloud-seeding agents into a developing thunderstorm system in northeast Haskell County on Friday.
The system showed signs of producing a tornado, but generated only a small twister that kicked up some dust before fizzling out.
said Curt Smith, manager of the weather project headquartered in Lakin.
"The ultimate effect was that the tornado development appeared to be diminished or nearly nonexistent," he said Monday. "I think I'm going to catch a lot of flak for what I've said."
Officials of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said they were skeptical that Smith's pilots prevented the formation of a tornado.
And Charles Doswell, a research scientist with the National Severe Storms Laboratory in Norman,
Okla., said the same claim had been made before — and all the claims are impossible to prove.
Smith said he was not trying to oversell the effectiveness of weather modification. However, he said now may be the time to get serious about studying tornado mitigation, as proposed by President Clinton, after the disastrous Oklahoma City and Haysville tornadoes last month.
The implications are enormous.
What if many other tornadoes produced by severe storms really can be seeded to reduce their force or mitigate them outright?" he said.
A similar storm system Friday in the Oklahoma panhandle produced two tornadoes. Officials at the National Weather Service in Norman, Okla., said no one was hurt and no major property damage resulted from those tornadoes, which touched down in open, rural areas.
.
Doswell said the only way to scientifically conclude whether cloud seeding affects tornadoes is to do a double-blind study involving dozens or hundreds of storms.
"To say the difference between the two (Friday night storm systems) is due to their seeding is scientific nonsense." Doswalt said.

Looking at heritage in Israel
KU student searches for cultural insights
Editor's note: Stephanie Brewer is studying abroad in Israel this summer.
I'm finally in Israel. As a Jew, this is my homeland, and I've waited nearly my entire life to come here.
I'd like to say that I experienced a spiritual awakening the second my plane touched down at Ben-Gurion International Airport, but, really, I didn't. I felt nervous, confused, tired and, most of all, foreign.
In other countries, I can usually use my knowledge of English and French to figure out some words. Here, the Hebrew characters on the signs combined to form nothing. The conversation around me meant nothing. Someone could walk up to me and say, "Go home, you American slut," and I'd probably smile and say, "Shalom."
So I spent my first days in Israel waiting for my life-changing experience to take place, waiting to blend right into Israeli culture. I've traveled and studied abroad before, and I am generally not so naive to expect to blend into a culture so quickly. But I expected Israel to be different because it is my ancestral homeland.
Far from feeling like I had come home, I felt out of place. The fact that I wasn't filled with a sense of joy at being in Israel made me feel like a bad Jew.
My group of 15 people spent the first week touring the country. I tried to absorb the historical and religious significance of sites while driving our tour guide crazy with incessant questions. But no matter how much information I crammed into my brain, I still didn't feel any special attachment to Israel.
Commentary
Through the bus window, I stared at barren desert interrupted by occasional areas of green and wondered where the beauty of this land was. I saw soldiers all around me, machine guns slung casually over their shoulders, and wondered if I could ever love a country that lived under constant threat of war.
I walked through the marketplace trying to look quietly at the stores and realized that "just looking" was impossible. The merchants' in-your-face tactics seemed like harassment to me and gave me the urge to clap my hands over my ears and scream at the top of my lungs. "Leave me the hell alone!"
Lucky for my tour group, I refrained. I also had to get used to dragging around an old sarong, which I affectionately called my shroud, in case I needed modest dress. One day I shed my shroud in relief, eager to be bareshouldered in the afternoon heat, but the guide informed me that to the men in the restaurant, I was dressed like a whore.
This knowledge of my status, of course, endeared me even more to Israel. (For the record, I was wearing an unprovocative hippy dress bought on Massachusetts Street.)
When I got to Tel Aviv, I wondered what had happened to the concept of modest dress as I watched 13-year-old
girls parade around in shorts that hardly qualified as clothing.
The distinct personalities of each area bundled together in such a small country are what has made Israel seem so confusing and foreign to me. I guess this is what is known as culture shock.
Despite all its quirks, Israel is start
ing to grow on me. The feeling of Israel being my homeland finally kind of hit me near the end of the first week.

Praying at the Wailing, or Western. Wall in Jerusalem provided me with a bit of what I was looking for. The Wall is part of the Jews' second temple that was

opinion @ kansan.com
destroyed by the Romans in A.D. 70. It is one of the holiest sites in Judaism.
At the Wall, I felt some sort of spiritual connection. I realized how important Israel was to my culture and why I was there.
I can't say this event changed my life or suddenly made me feel at home, but it has sparked a change in my perception of Israel.
The desert seems strangely beautiful, the soldiers are not so threatening and the marketplace is colorful rather than exasperating.
I'm still on the outside looking in, but at least now I like what I see.

Widow brings libel suit for unproven accusation
The Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS — When a 3M Co. executive was found shot to death in his bed, Detective Tom Johnson believed the evidence pointed to the man's widow. In a TV interview, he called her the "one and only suspect."
Six years later, no one has been arrested in the slaying of Dennis Stokes, and the widow, Terri Stokes, is suing for libel in federal court.
This is a civil case, but it is likely to resemble a murder trial.
To collect the unspecified damages she seeks, Stokes must convince a jury of her innocence. The other side will be working to prove that all signs indicate she most likely killed her husband.
The trial started Monday.
In 1993, Dennis Stokes was killed by shotgun blasts to the head while asleep at his home in suburban Forest Lake. His wife said that she spent the night at her brother's house because her husband planned to wake up before dawn and go hunting.
Stokes, 40, is suing over reports aired in 1994 by WCCO-TV, which showed Johnson saying she was the only suspect in the killing. She is suing Johnson, his employer, Anoka County; and CBS, which owns WCCO-TV.
Stokes reached a settlement over the weekend with New York-based King World Productions, producer of the
show American Journal, which also aired Johnson's comments. Terms of that settlement weren't disclosed.
Stokes' lawyer, Joe Friedberg, has painted her as a loving wife who put flowers on the table with dinner and who had finally found stability in her third marriage after having "a couple of two-night stairs."
"The title of this case is "Terri Stokes Fights Back,"" Friedberg told the jury in his opening statement. "Before being falsely accused of murder, she didn't have a reputation as a killer."
Johnson's lawyer, Anthony Palumbo,
said the detective had good reason to
suspect Stokes was her husband's killer.
"As he sits there today, he still believes it," Palumbo said.
Palumbo said Stokes was evasive throughout the investigation, wasn't forthcoming about extramarital affairs and was unhappy in her marriage. The lawyer also said the couple were having financial troubles.
Johnson and CBS are defending themselves by arguing that the accusations against Stokes are true, which means the case turns on whether the jury believes she did it or not.
A criminal trial requires proof of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. For the defendants to win in this case, the jury would only need to believe she most likely killed her husband.

She slips her hand into a pale, blue rubber glove and plunges it into the murky brown water. Submerged in the cold water lies her treasure—about 50 dead turtles.
In her first hunt, she pulls out an adult soft-shell turtle. Its neck stretches about six inches out of its shell, and its mouth hangs open. The turtle has been dead for about 30 years, yet is still perfectly preserved.
Banbury, Overland Park junior in biology, works in the University of Kansas Natural History Museum's herpetology department, home to over 280,000 preserved animals. Countless shelves of jarred and boxed animals fill the collection's four floors and are used for research by students and experts around the globe.
The animals come from 155 countries, 70 percent of which are from the New World Tropics.
John Simmons, the herpetology department's collection manager, said some of the animals were as old as 100 years and that many of the species were extinct.
"To replace the collection, if not impossible, would probably cost millions of dollars. I like to think of it as priceless," Simmons said.
One type of extinct frog in the University's collection was once so prevalent in the Andes mountains
that few saw the need to keep any preserved. Today, the frogs are hard to find in any collection. The University has two jars full.
An extinct toad in KU's collection comes from Africa, where natives licked the toads' moist skin to get a high.
Many of these animals are extinct, making Banbury's work even more important. Her job includes tagging animals and incorporating them into the collection, sending out loans of species, and tank diving — searching tanks of animals to make sure none are missing. The goal is to discover why these animals may have become extinct.

"My job is very precise

and gets extremely tedious at times," Banbury said. "But it's great because it incorporates many fields such as biology and genetics."
Banbury has help from Hugo Alamillo, Chihuahua, Mexico, senior in philosophy. The two work together, fishing through jars and tanks full of preserved animals. They had to adjust to working with dead animals every day.
"You learn to desensitize yourself," Banbury said.
The herpetology department is very careful when it comes to animal rights, Banbury said. Most of the animals are already dead when they are collected from the field. If one does have to be killed, though, it is euthanized quickly, inducing as little pain as possible.
The department takes great care to maintain the quality of the animals. The collection, which is kept at a constant 65 degrees Fahrenheit, is
state-of-the-art. It was finished in 1996 with the help of various grants and donations. The University is the first in the country to have such a facility.
When guests do come to visit, Simmons doesn't hesitate to show them the animals.
The facility's size allows many students to conduct research.
"Most people really don't get that excited about seeing a bunch of dead frogs, though." Simmons said.
"It's great to be able to hang out with people who have the same interest as you." Banbury said. "I can't find a herpetology person everywhere—we're one in a million."

Personal assessment may help graduates find the right jobs
By Ronnie Wachter
Kansan staff writer
This summer, recent University of Kansas graduates are stuffing the mail boxes of prospective employers with resumes and cover letters. Meanwhile, the class of 2000 waits in the wings with resumes in hand, to fill any positions that may be left.
Ann Rickman believes there is a better way. She would like to see the businesses come to the candidates.
Rickman is the vice-president of DiscoverME, an Internet-based job placement service, which matches prospective employees with businesses based on the candidate's personality type.
"We have a personality assessment on our Web site, which candidates fill out and submit to us," Rickman said. "We then provide that assessment to interested employers."
The group's Web site, which can be accessed at www.discoverme.com, was built by the Information and Telecommunication Technology Center, a University-based service.
Rickman said that DiscoverME based its personality assessment on the "Five Factor Model" of personality traits. She said the model — which assesses one's extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness to experience and emotional stability — was considered by most psychologists to be the key to understanding human personality.
"Nobody tries to rationalize what characteristics mean, we just present them to employers," Rickman said. "It's objective."
man said. It's objective. University students or graduates interested in using DiscoverME's service can fill out a basic identification form on the Web site, which begins the personality assessment. Candidates are given statements in the assessment and asked how strongly they agree or disagree with them.
"It's very non-threatening," Rickman said. "All of this takes about an hour."
Mark Dienes, 1999 University graduate, heard about DiscoverME and registered with the service. He said that DiscoverME's approach to the job market was interesting, but its Web site was not perfect.
"It takes a long time over the Internet, I'd much rather just talk to somebody, in person or over the phone," Dienes said. "It's nice that you get to put down skills and experience that don't relate just to your degree, though."
Based in Overland Park, Discover ME went online in January, after almost two years of research, development and working with University psychologists and ITTC technicians.
"They were great," Rickman said of ITTc's performance in building discoverme.com. "It's amazing because most groups were charging 20 times what ITTc asked, and it was the group that seemed to have the best grasp of how complex it really was."
Rickman said that DiscoverME was currently working with candidates in 37 countries and Fortune 1000 companies in several fields.

University faculty and staff show off their culinary talents with cool summer recipes For more recipes, see page 4B
Water ripples gently across a small, sandstone-bordered pond near the front steps of the West Lawrence home of Pok-Chi Lau. As Lau dons tall, black rubber boots and steps into the water to look for a leak in the hose that leads to a waterfall, goldfish dart just below the surface and find shelter beneath the leaves of the lotus and water lilies.
Behind Lau, orange, yellow and white lilies sway on graceful stems while the leaves of a cottonwood tree rustle in
the warm summer breeze.
Gazing at the scene,
even the most casual
observer might wonder
at the home of PokChi Lau, University of Kansas associate professor of photography, does art follow life, or does life follow art?
The answer might be that Lau brings art to everything he undertakes. A garden surrounds his house. The interior staircase he designed curves upward and out upon a cloud of en
and pork." The

witnesses. "His" photograph accents the home in black and white, still life
Lau's life seems to be imbued with art, his kitchen included.
He holds the fish carefully, cuts a long slit down the belly and removes the insides. Lau's actions are painstakingly slow and methodical.
Standing barefoot at the kitchen sink, Lau scrapes the scales off of two 15-inch large mouth bass he caught in a farm pond this week. The opalescent scales fall from the fish and catch the sunlight from the nearby window before they drift to the cool enamel surface.
"Anything worth doing is worth doing well." he said. "Nothing good comes quickly."
Once cleaned, the sides of the bass will be slit with shallow strokes of a knife, and the fish will be marinated for two hours. Pork, too, is marinating, but in a different sauce.
Lau and his wife are hosting friends for a fish and cook barbecue. Cantonese- Chinese style.
Lau said he began learning how to cook after he left his native Hong Kong at 19 years old. For two years he worked at a Chinese restaurant in Canada, where his training taught him, among
other things, how to de-bone a chicken in 55 seconds.
from there he went to photography school in California, and six years later, Lau received his master's degree in fine arts from the California School for the Arts. He came to Lawrence to teach at the University in 1977.
Lau said he tried to keep his cooking simple.
He cooks according to the seasons, using homegrown vegetables, and buys what is in season.
He is concerned about chemicals on vegetables, so he not only washes store-bought vegetables thoroughly but also cooks them.
"I try not to eat anything raw unless I grow it myself." he said.
Even the commercially grown lettuce he buys is cooked, unless it's organically grown.
Lau is torn when it comes to cooking beef
His solution is to serve fish often — fish that he catches himself. But even this makes him wonder, he said, mentioning that with the possibility of chemical runoff into ponds and lakes, even fish may not be safe.
"The marbled quality is what makes the meat taste good, but too much fat will kill you." he said.
But for today, in this corner of the world where life and art flow into one graceful portrait, two bass

Ingredients:
Using a paper towel, sponge up any water that is in the fish cavity. Dry the outside of the fish. Slit the side of the fish. Pour the marinade over the fish and inside the slits, being sure to coat the fish. Also, be sure the side of the fish have been slit and pour the marinade in these slits.

Summertime salad inspires music
There are two things that Carol Dressler, an office specialist in the department of journalism, likes making: music and food.
Often the two overlap. While she was recording her compact disc Forward Motion, released in 1997 on the J-Bird Records label, Dressler and her friend Sandy Wick, associate director of the University Honors Program, used food as fuel the keep their creative juices flowing.
On the CD, Dressler sang and played the guitar to her original music. Wick provided moral support.
Dressler said that she enjoyed cooking as opposed to eating out because it reduced the risk of getting an unsatisfying dish.
Although there is always risk involved in trying a new recipe, Dressler has a secret weapon against culinary failure — a good bottle of wine.
a good bottle of wine. "That's my trick."
"That's my trick,
she said. "Get them
sauced, and
they'll like any-
thing you
make."
The following recipe, taken from a barely le gible , stained and worn piece of notebook paper, is one that Dressler acquired about 18 yea r s a g o from a member
of a band in which she played. It's been a summertime favorite ever since.

Union cook suggests cool summer salad
Kansan editor
By Matthew Friedrichs
Now he's a cook at the Kansas Union, preparing breakfast and lunch, overseeing the food in the Prairie Room during the school year and fixing meals while people watch during lunch on Wednesdays.
He suggests a Strawberry Avocado Salad as a quick and cool summer side dish.
Jason Arnett started flipping burgers at Bucky's Drive-In, 2120 W. Ninth St., 13 years ago.
"You're not heating your kitchen up," Arnett said as he tossed the salad Friday afternoon.
And, by preparing the ingredients ahead of time, a well-prepared cook can throw together a colorful and delicious dish in only a few minutes.
Arnett had mixed the dressing and set it aside in the refrigerator — as per
the instructions Friday morning, and it took him only about five

minutes to prepare the final salad.
From his humble beginnings in fast food, Arnett has developed a taste for more complex dishes.
He knew he was hooked when he compared his roommates' cooking—microwave meals—to his own budget gourmet made from scratch.
It's not that he's lost his touch on the grill. When he's at home he likes to cook scrambled eggs and hash browns. But, he also enjoys pasta.
Arnett cites a Hudsucker Pasta — penne pasta, shrimp and sun-dried tomatoes — he made from Paul Newman's cookbook as a success.
"There's something about pasta," Arnett said. "It's just great."
Arnett will demonstrate how to make Jamaican Jerk
Salad sandwiches at the union cafeteria from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. today, and will serve the sandwiches with the Strawberry Avocado Salad listed below for $4.95.

the right decision in regard to Lawrence Phillips," the former Nebraska football coach says in "Faith in The Game." "He has done nothing to this point to indicate that he is willing to make changes after having been given another chance," Osborne says.
Osborne, who retired in 1998 after 25 years as the Huskers' head coach, says in the book's introduction that writing it provided a formal sense of closure to his experience as a football coach at the University of Nebraska.
In the book, published by New York-based Broadway Books, Osborne touches on some of the troubled players and difficult times he encountered during his tenure.

Osborne, who retired as the nation's winningest active coach, experienced his share of turbulence at Nebraska, the Phillips case being among the most notorious.

Osborne said drug use among his players was rare overall, but marijuana and alcohol used had to be dealt with more frequently.
"I was proud we never had a player arrested for selling or using drugs," he writes. "We avoided any major drug scandal."
Osborne also speaks of former Nebraska defensive lineman Christian Peter, now a backup defensive tackle for the New York Giants.
Peter is a recovering alcoholic who had run-ins with the law while at Nebraska. He was drafted by the New England Patriots in the fifth round of the 1996 NFL draft but was cut within days when the team took flak because of his off-the-field problem.

Starzr coach, 16 games into career, resigns
SALT LAKE CITY — Frank Landy resigned as coach of the WNBA's Utah Starz Monday, less than one year after taking the job.
Layden, the former coach of the Utah Jazz, was 2-2 with the Starzz this season. He will be replaced by assistant Fred Williams.
"I think I have succeeded in doing all that I feel I possibly could and can do," Layden said. "I'm passing the reins on. We're changing the face of the team. We've changed the attitude of the team and I think we're headed in the right direction."
Layden took over the team July 27, 1998, replacing Denise Taylor, and won only two of 11 games last season.
Williams has been with the team since the 1998 season. He was the head coach of the women's team at USC between 1995 to 1997.

Musicians retread pop music sound
Pop music is often unfairly labeled as simplistic, transient or easily produced.
Three-minute songs with a simple melody and a catchy chorus are a dime a dozen, and anyone could make them — or so this school of thought says. True musicianship comes in more lengthy, complex and challenging compositions that demonstrate a wider range of skill.
This may well be the case, but it doesn't explain why people still hum the songs of the Beatles or Buddy Holly while the easiest place to find the sprawling progrock opuses of the 1970s is the vinyl bin at the Salvation Army.
Simple propagation doesn't guarantee quality — people have been picking their nose for centuries, even before the opposable thumb. If pop music is a guilty pleasure, there are remarkably pleasant nose pickers working in the field.
Randy Newman may be one of the best-known unknowns in modern music. His music permeates popular culture. Newman has worked on countless movie scores and songs, including Ragtime, Parenthood, Toy Story, Pleasantville and A Bug's Life, penning songs like "You've Got a Friend in Me" and "I Love to See You Smile."
Bad Love is Newman's first studio album in 11 years. Mitchell Froom and Tchad Blake, whr

very much in the spirit of Tom Waits, Tin Pan Alley or Stephen Foster. The content, however, seems to be a purging of bile built up over years of writing songs for cartoons.
tm Dead" is the story of a musician who has been reduced to self-parody and suicidal loathing; "The Great Nations of Europe" is Schoolhouse Rock's evil twin, rattling off the atrocities committed in the name of empire building, "The World Isn't Fair" and "Shame" both deal with the fact that old froggy rich men get the attractive young wives. It's not an album completely devoid of hope, but it's pretty close.
But throughout the despair, the delightful piano melodies and
angelic choruses persevere. Life might be horrible, but that's no excuse for a lack of song structure or anality.
A local example of pop that doesn't deserve to be written off as novelty is embodied by Girls of the Big 12, the latest release from Lawrence band Danger Bob. Citing the Ramones and They Might be Giants as influences, Danger Bob possesses nothing but three chords and 15 songs said Andy Morton, guitarist and songwriter. Danger Bob manages to retain the basic pop formula on their third album, and even progress in many ways.
Certainly, most of the songs cover familiar ground, dealing either with pop culture or "girls we can't (have sex with)," but there are fewer throwaways (as there were on the first album Le Pop Shoppe) and each song has its own identity (unlike several

songs on follow-up *Mega Vega*$).
"Rubber Twice" is '80s hair metal spliced with cheese hip hop. "Ducky's Theme" is acoustic John Hughes musing, and "Lost Er Way" are slower, more thoughtful songs, verging on actual serious love songs.
But far from becoming lovelorn crooners, Danger Bob resurrects old chestnuts like "Church 'Em Danno" as a钻core punk song with Beach Boys harmonies in the chorus, and "Ride My Beam," a song about the sexual proclivities of Disneyworld monorail drivers.
Neither Newman or Danger Bob are anywhere near the frontiers of music. Both are treading familiar, well-worn ground. But sometimes the road more traveled can be perfectly fulfilling.

World team faces Kasparov online
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—Thousands of chess enthusiasts took up the gauntlet Tuesday to play world champion Gary Kasparov, responding to his challenge by moving a black pawn through cyberspace.
The online tournament, called "Kasparov vs. the World," pits the reigning champion against a "World Team" of players who vote for their moves on the Internet.
Kasparov opened the tournament Monday in New York, moving his white king's pawn two spaces forward to E4 on a giant board. Microsoft's Gaming Zone, the Web site acting as the host of the tournament, immediately began fielding countermoves from around the world and registered more than 2 million hits for the day, said spokesman Eddie Ranchigida.
The World Team's reply — chosen by 41 percent of those voting — was to move the black pawn in front of the queen's bishop two spaces forward to C-5 — initiating the Sicilian Defense.
Kasparov came to Washington's Union Station to witness the World
Team's move on a 400-square-foot chess board, but declined to make another move in order to maintain the "suspense," said Audrey Waters, Kasparov's spokeswoman. He has 24 hours to respond.
After Kasparov does move, the site's visitors have 24 hours to vote for the next black move. Kasparov will then reply within another 24 hours, and so on, until the conclusion of the match, expected to take most of the summer.
Four young chess experts guide the World Team, suggesting possible moves and tactics against Kasparov. The players then cast their votes on the experts recommendations or choose another move.
After each move, the Web site airs live "chats" on coaches' strategies and options.
Two years ago, Kasparov, regarded by many as the greatest chess player ever, lost to IBM's Deep Blue supercomputer. In New York, he said this encounter between chess and technology was a more pleasant event for the human race.

Genius grants recognize talented,promising elite
The Associated Press
CHICAGO—A New York lawyer who helps immigrants battle employment discrimination and a Louisiana scientist who helps communities fight polluters were among this year's 32 recipients of MacArthur Foundation genius grants.
"This is an important sign that there is attention being paid to people on the edges of society," said Jennifer Gordon, who will receive $260,000 for her work with the Workplace Project, which she founded on New York's Long Island in 1992.
The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation in Chicago has been awarding grants to exceptionally talented and promising individuals since 1981. Recipients get the money for the next five years with no strings attached.
This year, the foundation is giving but $10 million in genius grants. The 1999 recipients were announced Monday.
Dan Socolow, director of the fellows program, said that the grants gave recipients the gift of time and freedom to do what they pleased.
"In some cases people will continue to do what they've been doing, and some take time out," he said.
Gordon, who has left Workplace Project to write and teach, said she was not sure what she would do with the money. Her group helped organize immigrant workers to pass a tough wage-enforcement law in New York.
Wilma Subra's Subra Company has been helping Louisiana residents learn to monitor pollution since 1981.
"When someone is doing environmental work, they're always perceived as an environmental radical," she said. "This gives you credibility."
Subra's company launched a decade-long campaign that ultimately led to the closing of a hazardous waste treatment plant in Louisiana. Today, she is training people who live near a refinery and chemical plant to collect air samples for later examination.
In addition to Subra and Gordon, this year's grant winners included artists, scientists, historians, architects and a mathematician.
Saul Friedlander, a professor of history at the University of California at Los Angeles, was awarded $375,000 for his research and writing on the Third Reich and the Holocaust. In his book, "Nazi Germany and the Jews, Volume One: The Years of Prosecution, 1933-1939," Friedlander focuses primarily on victims, Germans citizens and party activists.
Professors made up nearly half of the list, with the University of California at Berkeley boasting three recipients and the University of Wisconsin in Madison, two.
"I tried to look at the immense total as individual lives and individual fates," said Friedlander, who spent four years hidden in a Catholic monastery during World War II after his parents were sent to Auschwitz and killed.
Friedlander said the money would let him devote more time to the second volume of his book.
Other winners included: Ofelia Zepeda, 45, of Tucson, Ariz., a linguist devoted to preserving Indian languages and culture; Jeffrey R. Weeks, 42, of Canton, N.Y., a mathematician who has helped to interpret the shape of the universe; Juan Martin Maldacena, 30, of Cambridge, Mass., a physicist who works in the abstract field of string theory; and Alison L. Des Forges, 57, of Buffalo, N.Y., a human rights advocate who documents genocide

"Aquatic Drinks for Drinking Seriously"
Barbecue success is in secret sauce KU archivist says
By Lisa John
Kansan managing editor
Even though Ned Kehde said he outgrew his craving for barbecue some years back and has now switched to Oriental cooking, he still could be described as one of the best barbecuers around. Kehde fits the description quite perfectly.
"I grew up in a barbecue family." he said.
His parents opened Kehde's Barbecue near Sedalia, Mo., in the early 1950s, said Kehde, who is an archivist at Spencer Research Library. Now, his brother and nephew run the restaurant and, as Kehde's parents before them, still catch the influx of tourists who stop for a taste of genuine Ozark barbe-
1923-2017
When Kehde talks barbecue, it's likely that the name of Grady Nash might be mentioned. When Kehde was growing up, Grady Nash ran a barbecue restaurant at Gravois Mills, Mo.
Kehde: shares barbecue tips but not secrets.
"He was an
oid ciagrette-smoking, beerdrinking, thin guy who drove a Cadillac and was quite a character," Kehde said.
Though Nash died many years ago, the recipe for barbecue sauce that he shared with the Kehde family survives.
The sauce contains only four ingredients, Kehde said.
"It has a lot of sugar and a lot of vinegar and tomato," he said.
Kehde would not reveal the type of tomato used, and it was mums the word about the fourth ingredient.
"It's a family secret," was all he said.
Although the sauce is a secret, the technique is not.
"First of all, you need pork steaks," Kehde said. "It's the cheapest meat you can buy. This is student-affordable meat."
Here's the formula:
Start a fire in a large Weber kettle grill using 35 charcoal briquettes in a coffee can that is vented around the bottom with paper crunched up in the bottom of the can. Kehhe said the barbecue folklore advised against using lighter fluid because it might change the flavor of the meat.
"I don't know if it's nonsense or not, but we always abided with the folklore." he said.
Next, Kehde said to put the burned down coals on one side of the cooker, and eight, hand-sized chunks of hickory that have soaked overnight in water on the other side.
Then, put about five pork steaks on the grill, as far away from the fire as possible. The vents in the lid and in the bottom of the grill should be opened enough so that the fire is neither too cool nor too hot.
After three hours of cooking over low heat, the pork steaks will be ready for the final step.
"I always lather my meat up at the last," Kehde说. "I heat a big bowl of the sauce to the point where it's almost boiling, dip the steaks in the sauce, let it drip off, and then put them back on the grill for 10 minutes."
This final step, Kehde said, gives the meat a sugary-sweet flavor.
Kehde said that the ideal accompaniments to the pork steaks would be German potato salad, made with garden-fresh new potatoes, home grown, of course, and coleslaw.
Overall, Kehde said that learning to be a good barbecue was like many things in life — it just took practice. As he leaned back in his office chair on the top floor of Spencer Research Library, Kehde seemed less like a cook and more like a worldly philosopher when he said, "Winston Churchill said in one of the greatest quotes ever, 'Success is the ability to go from one failure to the next.'"

Busy dad keeps things cooking
By Lisa John
Kansan managing editor
When Mark Reiske isn't busy helping keep track of construction projects on campus at Design and Construction Management, chances are he's at home in the kitchen preparing meals for his family.
By necessity, he's learned to cook in a hurry.
"With the kids' busy schedules being so spread out, I try to cook one- or two-pot dinners. I get off work at five and sometimes there's only an hour to get everything done." Reiske said.
Ever since he and his wife, Susan, married 13 years ago, Reiske has been the cook.
"My wife doesn't cook, and she never has liked to cook," he said. Put obviously, he does.
"She's Italian, and Italian food is all that they over cooked," he said.

Today, Reiske has veered from high-fat foods to a lower-fat vegetarian fare.
He said that even though he now prefers to cook Mexican and Italian recipes that have a vegetable theme, he sometimes reverts to good old American food.

Reiske: cooks one ore two pot meals for family.
"My wife is from a farm-type of atmosphere, so sometimes I cook meat and potatoes for her," he said.
But he tries not to do that too often.
Reiske pointed to a picture in his office. The picture showed a man
who appeared to be very heavy.
"That's me two years ago," he said. "Before U20 lost 200 pounds."
Reiske said he lost the weight simply by cutting down on fat grams. He now strives to consume only 15 grams of fat a day.
"I still eat a lot of volume of food, but not much in fat grams," he said.
Reiske frequently cooks on the grill, and said he likes to use the following recipe as a marinade for chicken and vegetables. It's especially good on eggplant, he said.

Lawrence man succeeds where nasty salsa fails
By Marta Costello
Kansan staff writer
Three years ago, Lawrence resident Stan Schneck cleaned houses for a living but had a great salsa recipe.
At his friends' urges, with $2000 in his pockets, he started Schneck Enterprises, the manufacturer of Señor Stan's Salsa.
From humble beginnings, Schneck's business, which has a sombrerow- wearing jalapeno as a trademark, has grown to include 80 grocery stores in Kansas.
The idea for Señor Stan's Salsa was born out of Schneck's frustration with store-bought salsa.
"Everything in the store is pretty nasty." he said.
Susan Sharp, Schneck's former neighbor and longtime friend, knew Schneck was onto something from the beginning.
"Selling it was his friends' idea. We all told him he needed to make this salsa," she said.
People agree. Schneck Enterprises has grown an average of 50 percent each year since it began, with a 70 percent growth last year.
Schneck Enterprises, based in Eudora, produces about 1,600 pounds of salsa each week to keep store shelves stocked.
Schneck hopes to eventually market his product nationally.
"My main growth concern is to people with limited choices, to provide good salsa in a larger market," Schneck said.
He began Schneck Enterprises in February 1996 as a one-man show, doing production, sales and distribution of salsa himself.
Schneck still does all of the sales and most of the distribution, but a cook helps with production.
Every grocery store in Lawrence from the Community Mercantile Coop, 901 Mississippi St., to Hy-Vee Food and Drug Store, 3504 Clinton Parkway, carries Senor St.'s Salsa.

Stan Schneck, aka Seiener Star, started out doing production, sales and distribution of his salsa by himself. Today his product is sold in 80 major grocery stores across Kansas.

Louisiana St., said that one reason he decided to carry the product was because it was produced locally.
"Local products sell well. A whole lot of people look for the 'Made in Kansas' label." Callan said.
Jeff Cuttt, food store manager for Hy-Vee, agreed that a major selling point of the salsa was local production, but also thinks it is a good product.
"Señor Stan's has always sold well. The quality is extremely good," he said.
Schneck receives a lot of responses from people, saying they hope he stays in business because they enjoy his salsa.
"I've just been lucky. It is a superior product," he said. "We've been quite fortunate."

but grilling isn't only about burgers and hot dogs anymore. These days, outdoor chefs are getting more creative, and improvements in barbecue technology, such as gas grillis make it possible to create entire meals over an open flame.
So, before you fire up that grill, check out these great barbecue sites. If these recipes don't leave your mouth watering, you should probably check your pulse.
This is "The Barbeque Gazette," a good place to start for general information on outdoor cooking. It contains recipes, contest information and links to barbecue association home pages. It's part of the Smoke Ring, a web ring of barbecue-related sites.

This site. "Barbecue'n on the Internet," is by far the best of the sites I found on the subject. If you want to know something about barbecue, chances are you'll find it here. It breaks down the information by food type, grill type and even individual cuts of meat.
It also contains information about grilling vegetables and how to make your own killer-barbecue sauces.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Viewed from the plush chairs of the Capitol building's House lounge, Missouri's sweeping history humps from the walls through muralist Thomas Hart Benton's expressive brush strokes.
Huckleberry Finn, Jesse James,
the Pony Express rider and political
boss Tom Pendergast, all are here,
all larger than life.
The third-floor mural and the Capitol itself showcase the diversity of a state that served as the gateway for America's expansion. The capital city is named for Thomas Jefferson, the third president, whose sponsorship of the Louisiana Purchase sent settlers trekking irretrievably westward.
An unhurried stop at Benton's mural — which is really a stop in Benton's panoramic 25- by 55-foot work, so enveloping its appeal — is a must during a visit to the seat of Missouri government.
Today, Jefferson City bustles as state government's company town. But the community of 36,143, situated on the south side of the Missouri River and smack in the middle of the state, offers many attractions.
Jefferson City is a family town, less sophisticated than Columbia, with its three colleges, hip coffee shops and ethnic restaurants 30 miles to the northwest. It's more easygoing than St. Louis or Kansas City, which are about two hours to the east and west.
The Capitol Building is the center
STATE CAPITOL: Completed in 1918, the high-domed center of state government is open every day except major holidays. Guided tours, lasting about a half hour are available from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

of Missouri's political universe when the Legislature meets from early January through mid-May each year. The Capitol's soaring dome dominates the city's skyline, with clouds and sun saturating the marble with color at different times of the day.

gardens, perfect picnic and relaxation places tended by fastidious gardeners. East of the Capitol is Jefferson City's tidy downtown, with its brick-fronted shops reflecting German settlement heritage.
Down toward the river from the Governor's Garden is Jefferson Landing State Historic Site, a nicely preserved part of the original settlement, including brick streets. Amtrak delivers passengers from St. Louis, Kansas City and beyond to a station in the old Union Hotel, just in the shadow of the Capitol.
One disappointment about Jefferson City is its riverfront, which is unightly and unutilized. Drawings still exist of a designer's original vision of the Capitol grounds, with impressive marble steps leading down to a riverboat landing and a riverfront train station.
Not so on the north side of the Missouri, where an abandoned rail bed from the defunct Missouri-Kansas Texas Railroad, forever known to train buffs as the Katy, has been converted into one of the nation's longest hiking and biking paths. Katy Trail State Park stretches some 200 miles along the river, from Sedalia on the western edge to its eastern tip in St. Charles County, on the cusp of the St. Louis metropolitan area.
Texas city spurs tourism with daily cattle drives
Along the trail are cozy bed-andbreakfasts, wineries and breathtaking river scenery that can make you cry, just imagining Lewis and Clark's eye-opening expedition along the same route.
The Associated Press
FORT WORTH, Texas — Leaning across his saddle under the hot June sun, Thane Zufelt lets out a whoop that carries across a city lot to a herd of Texas long-horns grazing on tall prairie grasses.
"Whoo-oo-ee-ah!"
The massive beasts, with horns as long as a full-grown man, lumber toward Zufelt and the other cowboys hired to lead them on a trot through the streets of this metropolis.
The cowboys don't flinch as sharp horns pass mere inches from their leather saddles, sometimes brushing the flank of a steadfast horse.
The 15 steers tumble into the brick-lined streets of Fort Worth's stockyards district, once the heart of the region's cattle industry. The daily cattle drive is the city's newest attraction, meant to evoke century-old images of life on the dusty trail.
And except for the smell of car exhaust fumes and the piped-in music of the Dixie Chicks, it's almost like the real thing.
There's even the possibility of a stampede.
own mind and self-preservation instinct. Anything could happen."
Merrell said it's the job of six drovers to ensure that the longhorns stay together — and off the sidewalks — as they pass through the tourist district that features Spanish-style buildings and rows of storefronts. The herd will travel along the approximate route of the Chisholm Trail to grassland along the Trinity River.
"We are dealing with a variable," said Dennis Merrell, trail boss of the Fort Worth Horns. "He's an animal that has his
The city-operated program is believed to be the first of its kind. The daily drives kicked off June 12, as part of the city's celebration of its 150th anniversary. They will continue seven days a week through the summer.
Merrell, a 45-year-old former bull rider who raised longhorns for a children's camp, was chosen from among 90 applicants for trail boss, a mostly administrative job.
But the lanky cowboy looks pure country with his down-turned mustache, sweat-stained bandana and boot-cut blue jeans.
He oversees a diverse group of drovers picked for their horsemanship and people skills.
Cathy Cannon, the only woman in the group, is also an X-ray technician. Zufelt is a former horse jockey and honorary Crow Indian.
Chester Stidham and Armando Gaza Jr. reflect the contributions of African Americans and Hispanics to the cattle industry. Merrell said about 30 percent of the 18th century drovers were minorities, including former slaves and Mexican villagers.
Joe Spiller is a cowboy poet and custom spur maker, while Tom Scott has been a rancher for four decades.
Primarily, they are drawn together by a love for the Old West, a desire to have lived not just relived — the cowboy trails.
"I think I born 100 years too late," said Gaza, a 37-year-old former truck driver with a wide straw sambrore.
Breeders from throughout the state donated the longhorns. To prepare them for their daily outings, the drovers tried everything possible to irritate the one-ton beasts. They blared sirens, drove cars around the animals and pulled their tails.
The trail drivers are trained to predict the steers' every move. A shift in their big brown eyes, a twitch of the tail, all can signal an attempt to break formation.
"It's a lot of mental work. You have to read their faces," Cannon says.
Fort Worth boasts cowboys and culture
The Associated Press
FORT WORTH, Texas — Whether you bring your boots or your briefcase, Fort Worth's cowboys-to-culture image offers something for everyone.
Nearly 7 million people visited the North Texas city last year. Most of the top attractions are concentrated in three districts easily accessible by interstate highway.
Wanna be a cowboy? Then mosey over to the Stockyards National Historic District, a former livestock center that has been preserved in the city's turn-of-the-century Coutown image.
The folks at the Stockyards Visitor Information Center can direct you along the covered boardwalks to rodeos, Western-wear stores and enough steak houses to make a vegetarian weep.
Some sure bets are Billy Bob's Texas, which bills itself as the "world's largest honky-tonk:" the Cowtown Coliseum, home of the world's first indoor rodeo; and the Stockyards Station, 30 shops and restaurants in what was once the stockyards' hog and sheep pens.
The Livestock Exchange Building houses the Stockyards Collection Museum. Built in 1904 as offices for livestock traders, the building was once considered the "Wall Street of the West."
During the summer months, cowboys herd 15
Texas longhorns along the stockyards' bricklined streets to grazing land along the Trinity River. The daily cattle drive is timed to coincide with the midday arrival of the Tarantula Train, a vintage 1896 steam engine making excursions from nearby Grapevine.
Fort Worth's historic downtown district is just minutes from the stockyards. It features Sundance Square, a revitalized 20-block entertainment district that boasts restaurants, art galleries, theaters and night spots.
Other attractions include the Bass Performance Hall, home to major performing arts organizations; the Cattle Raisers Museum, and the Tarrant County Courthouse, built in 1895 in the pattern of the state capitol in Austin.
Two miles from downtown is Fort Worth's cultural district, one of the largest arts districts in the nation.
Attractions include the Kimbell Art Museum, with a world-class collection of masterpieces; the Amon Carter Museum, which showcases Western art; and the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History.
Other venues in the district include the Fort Worth Botanic Garden's 114 acres of greenery and the Fort Worth Zoo, considered one of the best in the Southwest.

Student columnist pierces into fame
Body piercing prose brings recognition to fearless writer
The Associated Press
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — His mom cried when she found out. His dad was just a little embarrassed. Their only son, the aspiring journalist, had started his newspaper's body-piercing beat.
The Daily Collegian, Pennsylvania State's student day, put it in loftier terms: "Every week, Conroy gets a part of his body pierced and records the experience for posterity and the good of mankind."
Conroy, 21, started with his tongue and proceeded to his ear (twice), his chin, his nose, his navel, his nipple — and yes, even that place, as he called it, "down south."
"It had to be done," Conroy said.
Along the way, he gathered some attention on campus. He was quoted in The Chronicle of Higher Education, had photos taken with female fans at a party and appeared on the Internet wearing only a "censored" box.
Plus, he received dozens of e-mails each day from readers suggesting which body part to pierce next. Some wanted him to go for the back of his neck. Others targeted the webbing between thumb and index finger.
"As the saying goes, 'Never say never.' Conroy wrote in his column, "James' Adventures in Piercing," after waffling for weeks about whether to go below the belt. "If I hadn't done it, there would have been 40,000 people, the theoretically, berating me for being a wimp."
Conroy, of Aston, Pa. claims to be normal, citing as evidence his conservative taste in fashion and his education at an all-boys Catholic high school.
"I don't come across as an outlandish guy," Conroy said. "If you saw me now, you wouldn't even be able to see any of the piercings. Once I know people, they see I'm pretty nutty, but I don't come across that way to random people on the street."
But he had pierced his tongue and eyebrow before, so his editor, Jason Fagone, labeled him adventurous.
The real adventure didn't start until the column's third week when Conroy went for the relatively exotic skin between bottom lip and chin.
"The weather was crisp and there was that get a-big-need-die-shoed-through-your-lip feeling in the air," he wrote.
After the needle was out and the hardware screwed in, Conroy started to feel funky. The piercer's voice had changed.
"He was sounding like Charlie Brown's teacher." 'Wha wha-wha wha wha wha.' "Conroy wrote.
After drinking loads of Gatorade, he sat down to write and doled out one bit of advice: Eat before the pain rushes in. Then he developed the Conroy Scale, a pain-o-meter recording 1-to-10.
The worst of the nine piercings? The nipple.
The easiest? The tongue. (No nerves down the middle of the tongue, he wrote.)
The bloodiest? A barbell at the top of his ear that required two holes.
The biggest problem? The folks who pay his tuition.
His parents called one Thursday to say they planned to drive in — that weekend. First, he spent two hours trying to extricate himself from his newest piercing. Then he flipped out. He rushed back to the piercer and begged him to pull out the chin stud. The piercer did, but Conroy still couldn't remove the eyebrow hoop.
Mom, still in the family's Mercury Sable: "Take that out."
Conroy: "I've been trying all morning."
She wasn't the only person upset. One girl growled at him. One reader hoped the next hole in Conroy's body would be a .357 projectile piercing James' temple.
Michael Dameron, the man
responsible for most of Conroy's holes, said that a lot of people in the piercing scene hate Conroy.
“He reduced it to an MTV-generation fad,” Dameron said. “It really goes a lot deeper than that.”
But Conroy has his fans. One girl asked him out in an e-mail. (He passed.) When he contemplated stopping in March, several e-mailers urged him to keep going. That kind of response helped him through the rough times.
"It's painful," he said. "It really is."
Some piercings already have disappeared. One fell out, and he took out a couple that annoyed him. Two others were victims of his summer sojourn home. Neither his mother nor his construction job would tolerate the metal baulbes. Only three remain—all of them out of sight.
For pain and suffering, Conroy won a statewide award for best collegiate column and might win a journalism scholarship. And his hopes for next school year are high; perhaps another stint as a columnist or music writer.
the newspaper also fared well. By semester's end, more students seemed to be reading the Arts section, and Fagone called Conroy's column the section's best journalism.
"It's fun to get a reaction," Fagone said.
Boston Pops' 30th TV year has Shakespeare, Nathan Lane
By MARY CAMPBELL
Associated Press Writer
The Boston Pops first appeared on national television July 5,1970, with jazz pianist George Shearing as guest.
NEW YORK - The Boston Pops Orchestra starts its 30th season with Shakespeare, moves on to swing music and has Nathan Lane singing Danny Kaye songs from movies, recordings and Broadway.
Now, as produced for PBS by WGBH in Boston and the Boston Symphony, this season's opener will be Brush Up Your Shakespeare, at 9 p.m. tomorrow. Suingin' at the Pops will be July 8 and Lane's appearance will be July 15.
The 10 show season also includes Broadway singer Audra McDonald on July 22, and movie music July 29, plus five repeat concerts from 1997 and 1998.
Keith Lockhart, director of the Boston Pops, says the series is meant to be entertaining and engaging. He wants shows like Brush Up Your Shakespeare, to make people say, "I never thought I'd see that on Evening at Pops," Lockhart said. The show contains music inspired by Shakespeare — the title song is by Cole Porter — and scenes by Shakespeare and Company of Lenox, Mass.
"I'd been lobbying for this program since I got here," Lockhart says, "We finally managed it in a season where it seems Shakespeare is hot again. I'm a lifelong lover of about every word the man put on a page. He was not writing to a highbrow audience. It's bawdy — it was the R-rated movies of its day — and it has some of the most sublime
thoughts ever penned."
Lockhart, 39, recalls watching *Evening at Pops* as a child in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. "My memory is of this oelfish, grandfatherly guy with a white mustache. Arthur Fiedler really owned those programs. I still remember him looking just like what I thought a conductor was supposed to look like.
was supposed to bear the Pops from 1930 until he died in 1979. Film composer John Williams came in 1980 and Lockhart succeeded him five years ago. For TV, Lockhart says, the Boston Pops conductor should be a personality.
Pops Outnumbered the Boston Pops gives 62 performances during its summer season, which runs from May to July. Since 1929, it has given a week of free concerts on Boston's Esplanade. The July 4 concert there is broadcast by A&E, which also televises one three weeks of concerts in Symphony Hall during the Christmas season.
Guests are chosen by Lockhart and William Cosel, who has produced *Evening at Pops* since 1970. They're most interested in people who don't regularly perform with orchestras.
"Sometimes those performers get a little bit rattled," Lockhart says. "Sometimes we have to do restarts.
"Last season, Arlo Guthrie was on. He's so used to being on stage with himself and a guitar — and we had all these people — that he couldn't remember the words to a couple of songs he's sung forever. He was endearing about it. The performance ended up being wonderful."
wonderful The Guthrie concert — violinist Gil Shaham joins in on *Arlo's Rag* — will be rebroadcast Aug. 26.

Regents raise Hemenway's pay
By Matthew Friedrichs
Kansan editor
(USPS 650-640)
TOPEKA- The boss is getting a raise.
Members of the Kansas Board of Regents approved raises Thursday for Chancellor Robert Hemenway and the presidents of Kansas State, Pittsburg State, Emporia State, Fort Hays State and Wichita State universities.
Hemenway's salary will increase to $202,428, a raise of $19,896, almost 11 percent.
Raises for president of the other universities ranged from 9.9 percent to 15.9 percent, much higher than those for university faculty and staff
The Kansas Legislature has already allocated funds for raises of 3.5 percent for faculty and staff. The legislature also allocated funds to provide merit awards of as much as 4.9 percent for select university employees.
The discrepancy in raises was necessary to keep administrators in Kansas on pace with their peers, according to Bill Docking, chairman of the nine-member board.
"If we are to have top-flight institutions, it is essential that we close this gap," Docking said. "Our state and

national economies currently are strong, and we must be competitive in the national market. The new salaries reflect an initial step in closing that gap."
The University's peer institutions as defined by the Board are the Univer-
chancellor who makes $137,688. North Carolina pays its chancellor the most,
$235,767.
Pat Miller, business manager for computing services, said a large raise was not unusual for the chancellor.
She said the difference between his raise and the raises for others at the University was an indication of differences in how the Legislature and the Board set salaries.
Chris Hepp, associate professor of music and dance, said the Regents' decision was easier to take because it had supported higher faculty salaries in their proposals to the Legislature.
"This year, the spoils of war go to Chancellor Hemenway," Hepp said. "Next year, I hope they go to the faculty."
In other business the Regents:
- approved a fall break at the University beetting fall 2011.
approved tuition increases of 2.5 percent, a $1 per-credit-hour fee for libraries and a $1 per-credit-hour technology fee for KU students beginning in 2001.
approved a request to name a center scheduled to open next year the Theo and Alfred M. Landon Center for Aging.

Hilltop center breaks ground for kids
By Michael Furman Special to the Kansan
Pat Pisani, Hilltop director, encouraged anybody who wanted to help to join.
One hundred twenty-five people showed up to help break ground for the new Hilltop Child Development Center at 1 p.m. Sunday.
"We even have little gold shovels for the kids," she said.

The ceremony was directed toward children, but numerous University of Kansas administrators including Provost David Shulenburger braved the stormy weather to offer their congratulations.

ter. She said people were excited about the new center because it was designed for the children.
"It's going to be so nice, especially for the students and parents with special needs." Wimmer said.
The new building will be one level, and classrooms will have their own bathrooms. The current Hilltop building is multiple levels and is not handicapped accessible.
Dena Podrebarac, president of the Hilltop board of directors, said that the new design was appropriate.
"I'm also real excited for the natural theme; being a biologist I'm real interested in the wildflowers and the earthy colors," she said.
Pedrobardea's daughter, Hillary, 5, is excited about the new center for another reason.
"We'll be in new classes and we'll have new playground toys," she said.
The excitement for the center was obvious Sunday as adults and children joined in shoveling dirt.

Incorrect grades can be rectified through appeals
By Scott Gootee
Kansan Staff Writer
brian Cooper, Overland Park junior, received a 'B' last semester in his Business 240 class for about two weeks. Luckily, his professor, Tim Shaftel, sends letters to all his students who receive 'A's.
"I got the letter two weeks later with the news," Cooper said. "It was definitely a happy surprise. I called the Business Department, who then referred me to my TA (Graduate teaching assistant). I called him, and he took care of it."
Cooper's plight is not unique, nor rare. Determining an exact number is difficult, said Richard Morrell, University registrar, whose office processes the approved grade-change requests. Every semester, hundreds of students stalk the postman until their grade cards arrive, but sometimes these grades aren't what they expected. Nonetheless, many students, such as Cooper, accept their given grades, because their performance was borderline, because the grade was better then expected or because it would be too much trouble to change it. All of these scenarios compound to make tabulating the number of incorrect grades difficult.
"We don't have a system that tabulates the number of changes we process," Morrell said. "But a good estimate would be 100 to 200 a month."
While quantifying the situation can be difficult, determining whose responsibility the incorrect grade is can prove to be an even harder job. Tom Preheim, Hutchinson senior, is a Business 240 teaching assistant. He said that responsibility is mutual, between both the student and the teacher.
"it's hard sometimes to get all the grades correct," Prelheim said. "I've been on both sides of the street: a student and a teacher. TAs sometimes face time pressure, but students should ask for their updated grades throughout the semester."
PROCEDURE FOR CHANGING A GRADE
Students with incorrect grades deciding to change them face a hierarchical process, said Bruce Bublitz, associate dean in the School of Business.
Talk to your professor regarding your grade.
The professor must request a
grade change in writing.
- The department chair must approve the request.
Grade changes are allowed only when an error has occurred, or the original grade was an incomplete.
Students may appeal final course grades, if they believe that the professor failed to grade according to the syllabus.
The appeal must be first directed to the department in question.
n the problem is still unresolved, a student may submit a final appeal to the University Judicial Board.
source, KU Undergraduate Catalog
"The rules of changing grades are very clear in University Senate Rules and Regulations," Bublitz said. "They give faculty near exclusive say over grades. Administration rarely has say. The requirement is that the faculty member must grade according to the syllabus."
According to Preheim, the best way for students to avoid incorrect grades, is to keep undated on their progress.
"I recommend that students keep all their work, especially anything with a number," Preheim said. "They should also ask a professor to get an update on their grades often. That way, they know their grades and they show the professor that they care."
Bublitz offered further advice for students who have received an incorrect grade.
"If the grade doesn't seem right, go talk to the instructor." Bubiltz said. "When a student comes to me, we'll sit down and the calculations."
However, this assumes that students are aware that they have received an incorrect grade, which is not always the case.
"I thought I had a 'B." Cooper said. "My grade was borderline, so when I received my grade card, I just accepted it. If I hadn't received the letter, I would have had a 'B' in my class not knowing it was wrong."

Herd makes a few more swipes with his machete and then pitches it into the stubbly earth. Herd, a local environmental artist, is carving a turtle-shaped maze at the Pendleton's, owners of Pendleton's Country Market, 1446 E. 1850 Rd. The completed turtle maze will measure about 560 feet long by 400 feet wide — about 5 acres.
"Could you hold the sketch up a little higher, John?" asked the man with the machete. A tan fedora and dark sunglasses shield his face from the glare of the sun.
John Pendleton raises the sketch
From the ground, it looks like Herd has cut down random sections of the field. But from a higher vantage point, the combination of standing corn and strategically-placed negative spaces takes the shape of a turtle. For nearly 20 years, Herd has been creating art that is best viewed from the sky.

Graffiti vandals hit KU, use tunnel,cars as canvas
Three cases of property damage by spray-painted graffiti were reported between June 19 and June 26, the KU Public Safety Office said.
Graffiti was spray painted between 10 p.m. June 19 and 11 p.m. June 21 in the tunnel under the 1400 block of Naismith Drive. The damage was estimated at $127.
Two KU students' cars were damaged by graftie between 8:30 p.m. June 25 and 8:10 a.m. June 26 in Lot 24 in front of Foley Hall, the KU Public Safety Office said. Damage to both cars was estimated at $200.
Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said that the graffiti was composed of letters, numbers and symbols. Bailey said that the graffiti in the tunnel was different than the graffiti on the students' cars.
"It is possible that these crimes are gang related," Bailey said. "But I will not say they are at this time. We have no leads."

Playground equipment rides merry-go-round
Most of the playground equipment at Stouffer Place will be moved to different areas of the housing complex as the construction of the new Hilltop Child Development Center gets underway, Phil Garrito, associate director for housing maintenance, said. Hilltop will be built at the site of an existing Stouffer Place playground area.
A small playground will be established near building 23 with a wooden climbing structure, a bench and swing set moved to that site. Garrito said. A slide and bench will be moved to a playground area near building 25, and another swing set and bench will be moved to a playground area near buildings 9 and 12.
Garito said that some of the older equipment will be discarded and no new equipment will be added.

Audio-Reader staffers receive national awards
Two University of Kansas Audio-Reader Network staff members have won lifetime achievement awards from a national organization.
Art Hadley and H. Steve Kincaid recently received the C. Stanley Potter Award at the annual conference of the National Association of Radio Reading Services in Rochester, N.Y.
Hadley has been the producer/engineer for KU's Audio-Reader Network for more than 20 years. During this time he modified a Commodore 63 personal computer to create the first 24-hour capable
automation system for a radio-reading service. He was also instrumental in pioneering the use of cable television for the transmission of programming, thus expanding the Audio-Reader signal across the state.
Kincaid, Audio-Reader's chief engineer and assistant director, has been with Audio-Reader for 15 years. He selected and installed the satellite uplink system, making Audio-Reader the first radio-reading service to own and operate such equipment. This satellite system also makes Audio-Reader programming available to more than ten other radio-reading services throughout the country.

Inmate sues Legislature for bad food, lighting
TOPEKA, — Like more than a few inmates, Sidney J. Clark claims he's innocent of the crimes that put him in prison — rape and aggravated burglary in his case.
Unlike most inmates, however, Clark asked the Legislature to compensate him his time behind bars. He also wants money for a long list of physical lits, including a skin rash he claims was caused by fluorescent lighting.
His bill to the state was $50 million.
The Legislature's Joint Committee on Special Claims Against the State held a hearing Tuesday on Clark's claim. The committee makes recommendations to the Legislature on which legal claims should be paid.
there is no evidence that Clark sustained any permanent injuries.
Clark has been in prison since November 1984, serving a sentence of 60 years to life. He was incarcerated for breaking into a 42-year-old woman's Kansas City apartment and attacking her.
Among the medical complaints outlined in his claim were bad food, hearing loss, bad pain and hair-skin damages.
The Department of Corrections said
"Examination by medical staff failed to detect any rash,"Lisa Mendoza, department attorney, said about the rash he claimed that caused by the lights.
Adding to legislators' doubts was Clark's prison record: seven disciplinary violations in only three and one half years. He is in the maximum-security unit at the Lansing Correctional Facility.
The committee rejected Clark's claim, unanimously.
"I think it was pretty easy to say no," said SEN, Karin Brownlee, R-Olathe, the committee's chairwoman.
Teens need 50 hours practice for license
TOPEKA — A Kansas law going into effect Thursday requires teens to spend more supervised time behind the wheel before they can receive their driver's licenses.
The law will require anyone age 16 or 17 to complete 50 hours of adult-supervised driving practice — including driver's education courses — before applying for a driver's license.
A parent or guardian will have to sign an affidavit stating that the teenager has fulfilled the requirement, which includes 10 hours of driving at night.
Alan Anderson, chief of the DMV's Drivers License Examining Bureau, told reporters that he has noted an increase in the number of teen-agers hoping to avoid the additional 50 hours of practice by trying to pass the licensing exam before the law goes into effect.
Kansas Highway Patrol spokesman Sgt. John Eichkorn the patrol is trying to educate the public about some of the law's harsher penalties for violations involving drivers with restricted licenses. Such licenses can be obtained at age 15.
sengers who are minors but are not siblings of the driver will be charged with a moving violation — counting against the offender's driving record. The violation now is a misdemeanor that does not affect driving records.
According to the new law a driver with a restricted license who has pas
The new law also says any driver with a restricted license younger than 16 who is convicted of two or more moving violations cannot receive an unrestricted license until age 17.
First gay ambassador sworn in amid protests
NATION
WASHINGTON — With Secretary of State Madeleine Albright presiding, James Hormel, a gay San Francisco businessman and wealthy Democratic Party donor, was sworn in yesterday as U.S. ambassador to Luxembourg almost two years after he was nominated.
Demonstrators protesting the appointment marched outside as Hormel, an heir to the Hormel Meat Co. fortune, took his oath.
He became the nation's first openly gay ambassador, during a ceremony in the State Department's main reception room.
Hormel has been a generous contributor to Democratic candidates and the party. Since 1997, he has given $132,000 to the Democratic National Committee, $25,000 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and $15,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
He also has given $10,000 to the Human Rights Campaign Fund, a gay and lesbian political action committee. The campaign fund's political action committee contributed $803,125 to federal candidates during the last election, with $711,400, or 89 percent, going to Democrats.

mind that this was a beautiful canvas, " Herd said.
Since that flight, Herd has created over 20 large-scale works of art using agriculture and the earth as his canvases. He has completed most of his work on Kansas soil, although England, Australia, Texas, Oklahoma, New York and Nebraska have also been venues for his unique art.
designed and is in charge of creating this five-acre maze which is expected to be open to the public by mid-July. Photo by Lisa John/KANSAN
His first earthwork was a portrait of the Kiowa War Chief Satanta. Herd's interest in Native Americans began when he was a young child growing up on his family's farm in Protection, a small town in southeast Kansas, near the Oklahoma border.
"I could walk out the front door of the farm house to the Bluff Creek bank and find arrow points," he said. "I realized there were a people on the land before my father and grandfather."
Herd's interest in indigenous peoples continued as he grew older. Born in 1950, Herd latched onto the tail end of the '60s radical movement as a teen — a movement characterized by protests against the destruction of the natural environment and the displacement of indigenous peoples.
"I was a rabid environmentalist before I even knew what it was. I just had a sense that we were living wrong." Herd said.
So far, Herd has created four Native American portraits. He also has collaborated with faculty members at Haskell Indian Nations University, creating a medicine wheel design on the university's campus. The semi-permanent work, "The Wheel," is used by students for ceremonies and meditation. The site has become a major point of contention in the debate about the proposed South Lawrence Trafficway.
Art as a living
"The Wheel" is unusual because most of Herd's earthworks are no longer available for viewing. Since he creates most of his images in fertile fields, they are often plowed under at harvest time. Despite the time and effort he pours into his projects, Herd said he viewed the ephemeral nature of his art as a strength.
"I felt it was a statement of respect about the natural landscape, "Herd said. "I don't think anything I've ever done or ever will do, will surpass the beauty of the land itself."
Herd said that he tried to avoid involving himself in commercial projects but that he has been forced to set aside his idealism on more than one occasion. He completed the final version of "Absolut Landmark" in 1990. This earthwork, which appeared in an Absolut vodka ad, consisted of an Absolut vodka bottle against a star guilt pattern.
"The line I used to draw between what I would and wouldn't do has changed because I'm just trying to survive." Herd said.
Herd has done commissioned work for Beck's beer. Northwest Airlines and others. He also created the cover art for Garth Brooks' album "Fresh Horses."
Herd has also created massive field still life artwork using multiple crops and other natural materials, including his famous "Sunflower Still Life," which survived

in a field outside of Lawrence for three years. The image was three sunflowers in a vase against a patchwork background. Herd used native Kansas sunflowers to color the still life sunflowers with a bright yellow hue.
Herd said that he is currently putting the finishing touches on his "Ancient Fish Maze" on a hilltop field on the outskirts of Lawrence. The design for the maze was inspired by the fossil of an 80-million-year-old fish, "Xiphactinus," which archaeologists discovered in Kansas in the 1930s. KU's Natural History Museum houses a specimen of the 30- to 40-foot fish.
Herd stays extremely busy, often
working on several field projects simultaneously.
"I feel like I'm caught in the rapid part of a river, and I'd really like to get on the bank and try to relax." Herd said.
He said he was afraid he wouldn't be able to slow down for a while. In addition to working on the fish maze and the turtle maze, he is salvaging trees for an upcoming project and working on mural designs for a Topela library.
He said that the turtle maze should be finished sometime this week. The Pendleton's, who are hoping the maze will bring more patrons to their place of business, said they would charge admission to walk through the maze.
Soon, the corn will be bristling with voices as people navigate through the twisting maze. But the voices will disappear when harvest time rolls around and the turtle is returned to the earth.

Kids offering building advice to Hilltop
Editor's note: With the assistance of teachers Kasey Fewins and Heather Grant, children at Hilltop Child Development Center wrote and illustrated the following story about building a new center. Pat Pisani, Hilltop director, read the story Sunday to the crowd at the groundbreaking for the new center.

"Building a New Hilltop"

First you have to have lots of people draw designs for the new building. It takes about 15 people
Then you have to buy the supplies for the new building from the store. There are so many things to buy that you have to rent a big truck.
You have to have a groundbreaking. At the groundbreaking, everyone gets together to help dig up dirt. About 1,000 people will bring shovels to help dig.
After the people have helped dig, then the construction workers start working. It takes about 139 workers to build the building.

pour concrete in the hole.
After the concrete has dried, it is time to start building. They use wood, bricks, metal, cement and glass to build the building.
It takes lots of tools to build the building. The workers use tools like hammers, nails, screwdrivers, pliers, saws, tape measures, wrenches, levels, drills, electric saws, nuts, bolts, screws and extension cords.
After 16 days of working, the building is done. Then it is time to work inside the building. The walls have to be painted, carpet has to be installed and light switches have to be checked.
Then, it is time to move everything from the old building to the new building. It takes 400 strong people in 100 trucks to move everything.
Finally, it is time to get the kids and teachers moved in, because it wouldn't be Hilltop without the kids and teachers.
And that is how you build a new Hilton.
KU office changes name to redefine mission
By Clint Hooker
Kansan staff writer
The University's Office of Minority Affairs is changing its name and leadership staff in an effort to restructure and redefine the office's mission to students.
Beginning tomorrow, the office will be called the Office of Multicultural Affairs.
James Kitchen, associate vice chancellor and dean of students, said his idea to rename the office came form a belief that the term "minority" carried a negative connotation as something less than equal.
"We are a multi-cultural society, a multi-cultural institution, why not a multi-cultural office?" Kitchen said.
While the name change will go into effect fairly smoothly, the University is still working to fill three of the office's leadership positions, all of which were vacated when staff members left the office this year.
Kitchen said all of them, including the office's director, Sherwood
Thompson, the associate director. Gloria Flores, and two assistant directors, Tamara Lewis and Julius Williams, left to take similar positions at other universities or separate positions at KU.
Thompson went to the University of Georgia to head its minority student services office and Lewis returned to her native Virginia to work at Hampton University, Kitchen said. Flores now serves as associate director of KU's freshman/sophomore advising center, while Winn is now executive director of the African-American Task Force.
Kitchen said that the interview process had concluded last week and that he was trying to learn more about the individual candidates before any job offers would be made.
"We're hoping we'll be able to wrap this search up soon and get a new director on board" he said.
Robert Page, who will serve as the OMA's associate director when the other positions are filled, is running the office during the interim
Page, who previously served as assistant director of admissions, said the OMA would focus on the retention and recruitment of students of color and promote student leadership.
"Those were areas that I had already been working on in admissions, so it was kind of natural that I applied and was able to get the job," he said.
Page said that his work now is to get the office ready for the name change and prepare for some new programs under development.
"We're updating all of our publications, currently to reflect the name change and we're also looking at a more inclusive feel to our office," he said. "Our primary goal is to serve ethnic minorities, but we want everyone to feel like the OMA is something they can come into to get advice, ideas about programming or whatever they may want."
One of the new services being developed for students is called Hawklink 2000, a retention program designed to coordinate the
efforts of similar departmental programs through the OMA.
The department of student housing,office of financial aid,new student orientation the freshman/sophomore advising center,office of admissions,the student development center and special educational services will all take part in the collaborative effort.
Quincy Garner, Olathe senior, said the office helped incoming minority students feel more comfortable at the University by putting them around people of similar backgrounds and experiences.
Garner's fraternity, Alpha Phi Alpha, even helps new students move in at the beginning of the semester as a welcome to the University.
"When you come to this environment and you're moving in, and things are kind of frantic," he said. "It helps to have familiar faces, even though you may not know these people."

Non-traditional students get help

Kansan staff writer

An orientation tailored to the needs of non-traditional students was held for the first time at the University of Kansas on June 23.
What exactly is a non-traditional student?
"A non-traditional student is one who commutes, lives more than thirty miles from campus, is married, a parent, a veteran or at least three years older than their peers. An example is a 21-year-old freshman," said Kristin Adkinson, assistant director of new student orientation.
To meet the needs of these students, an orientation was held from 4 to 7 p.m., rather than the typical all-day session.
The non-traditional students, like other freshmen, received a packet of information about the campus, a KUID number, a fall timetable and a form to evaluate the orientation. They also received an Academic Record Tracking System form, which showed them the course requirements they must fulfill to graduate.
Pamphlets on University child care and the Kansas City ride-sharing program were distributed as well. These pamphlets usually are not distributed to the traditional freshman group during summer orientation.
Orientation assistants spoke to students. They covered the enrollment process, explaining the timetable and taking questions.
Orientation assistant Curtis Sloan, Powhattan junior, said his talk was the same as one he would give at
other orientations, except that the information had to be slightly shortened because of the abbreviated time.
Bill Winebold, a 32-year-old student who transferred from Johnson County Community College, was one of 32 students at the non-traditional orientation. With his wife and 13-month-old son present, Winebold
tried to take in as much information about enrollment as possible.
"I want a degree in order to be better off for my family. I am really not worried about classes or the school, just ready to finally start," he said.
Although Winebold expected to be comfortable at the University, Adkinson said that was not the case for many others.
Winebole will commute from Olathe, where he lives with his family. He is seeking a degree in sports management.
Adkinson said that the orientation went well.
Non-traditional students are often intimidated by the fact that they are in class with younger students." Adkinson said.
"I feel we met the needs of students we often don't address. Usually it is the non-traditional student who comes to us with questions, and now we are going to them," she said.
Laura Morgan, assistant director of the Student Development Center, said that the University did not know how many non-traditional students were enrolled. Students are not required to divulge all of the information that would classify them as non-traditional, she said.

New director to join KU Unions in fall
By Matthew Friedrichs
David Mucci, the new director of the Kansas and Burge Unions, said Tuesday that he would bring a commitment to community and student life when he began his job in August.
Kansan editor
Mucci has been the director of the University of Idaho Student Union since 1993.
At the University of Idaho, he has overseen the construction of a new union building, and that experience could help as administrators finalize plans for a $3.9 million addition and renovation to the Kansas Union this fall.
Mucci said he supported adding space for student organizations.
Included in preliminary proposals is an expansion of office space for student organizations on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union in the Organization and Leadership Center.
"That's essential to the life of the program." Mucci said. "I'm very supportive of that."
David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, announced the hiring Monday.
The unions have the programs and opportunity to bring students closer together in a fragmented society. he said.
"David Mucci is one of the outstanding leaders in the student union field today," Amber said.
As the director of the Kansas
and Burge Unions, Mucci will be responsible for the KU bookstores, union food services, conference facilities, campus catering and both union buildings.
Warner Ferguson, associate director of the unions, said The Kansas Unions have a budget of $16 million, 115 full-time employees, and about 235 student employees.
While the unions are a huge business enterprise, they have to contribute to the campus community, Mucci said.
At the University of Idaho, a school with about 11,000 students he man

aged a $2.3 million budget, and about 200 employees.
He was not responsible for the bookstores there.
Linda Mullins, assistant vice chancellor for student affairs, said a committee reviewed applications and interviewed four candidates before selecting Mucci.
He replaces James Long, who became the assistant provost for facilities planning and management in January after 16 years as director of the unions.

Social Security numbers easier said than obtained
By Panyaluk Maneengam Kansan staff writer
Some international students think life could be easier with a social security number, but simply getting to the local Social Security Administration office, 1440 Wakarusa Dr., to apply can be difficult.
"It's not easy to get there. Especially when you are a new student who just arrived here and still have no idea where the office is, and how to get there," said Panadka Dasananda, Bangkok, Thailand, graduate student. "It's like you are blind among the new surroundings."
To overcome this obstacle, social security representatives come to the University every year at the beginning of fall semester. They set up service desks at the Kansas Union to receive application forms from new international students.
"We usually do it around August, right before the fall," said Nancy Coker, a service representative at the Social Security Administration.
Dasananda said that although she knew a social security number was not required, she found that it made life easier when it came to dealing with utility companies or applying for credit cards.
Representatives come to campus if enough students apply for a social security number. They would come to campus in the spring if the University made a request. But Coker said the busiest time is late August — the beginning of the academic year.
"We usually don't have that many

new students in the summer. We might only have 30 new students and all of them might not even need it," said Lynne Vanahh, associate director in the office of International Student Services.
Because the number of international students increases during August, Vanahill said that her office preferred to have representatives come out at this time.
"I always ask them to come in fall when we have like 400 new students. It's definitely worth their time and their effort to come out here," she said.
She said that another reason they did not come during the summer was that there was no formal internation student orientation program, unlike fall and spring.

Butterfly program inspires learning
By Kris Villaca Kansan staff writer
10000000000
On the seventh floor of Haworth Hall, a strange scraping and humming noise emanates from room 7005. It originates from small wood and wire mesh cages filled with Monarch butterflies.
Butterflies flit around the cages and sip from sponges soaked in artificial nectar. Test tubes, beakers and vials of unpronounceable chemicals fill the room. On one cabinet door is a copy of the Weekly World News that proclaims,
"Farmer Shoots 6 Pt. Butterfly!"
Make no mistake though, there is serious business going on in this office. It is home to Monarch Watch, an educational outreach program now in its seventh year. The goal of the program is to teach children about the Monarch butterfly while furthering its preservation. It is a joint effort among students, teachers, volunteers and researchers. Orley R. "Chip" Taylor directs the Monarch Watch project.
curriculum has been developed to teach students, kindergarten through ninth grade, more about the Monarch butterfly. Jim Lovett, Monarch Watch program assistant, is confident about the effectiveness of the curriculum.
"The Monarch can be used to teach almost any subject," Lovett said. "The really neat thing about the program is that the kids get to work with a live organism and actively participate in research."
Many of the curriculum's activities center around having live Monarch butterflies in the classroom. The activities include teaching how to capture, tag and release Monarchs.
Students tag a Monarch by first capturing them during their migratory period, which runs from August to early October. The Monarchs are tagged using an all-weather polypropylene tag that is placed on their wings. The tag is placed in a position that does not interfere with the butterfly's flight. Teachers and students keep journals to record the information that is gathered.
A Monarch butterfly receives a tag as part of the Monarch Watch program. The program was dedicated to teaching about and preserving the butterflies.

Kathy Davis, a second-grade teacher at Hillcrest Elementary School in Lawrence, was complimentary of the program. Her students receive a tagging kit each fall from Monarch
Watch that contains materials and information about tagging Monarchs. Using a butterfly garden to attract the butterflies, Davis and her students observe, count, tag and release Monarchs, then record the information in a journal. Once the study is completed, the information is sent back to Monarch Watch.
"I want them to feel like they're involved in serious science," Davis said. "They can see that in the second grade you can be involved in a serious science project."
The project is one that resonates in the minds
of the students who participate in it. According to Davis, sixth-grade students who are leaving Hillcrest often refer to the project.
"One of the big projects that they remember is the second-grade butterfly project," Davis said. "They often go home and plant their own butterfly garden."

Smallpox-virus destruction halted till 2002
—Edited by Derek Prater
By Lisa John
Kansan managing editor
But they won't be.
Today is the day that all the small-pox stockpiles in the United States and Russia were to have been destroyed.
Because of fear that Iraq and North Korea may hold secret stores of the virus, and at the recommendation of President Clinton and other government leaders, the World Health Organization has decided to postpone the virus' destruction until the year 2002.
Marcia Chan
"I think we should have stocks of (smallpox) in the United States and Russia. I'm not sure it's necessary for other countries to have it, and if they do, it looks as if they might have them for biological warfare."
Two University of Kansas scientists, a military officer and a professor of political science said that although biological warfare with the smallpox virus could potentially exist, the threat of this happening here is unlikely. But most agree — if it did happen here, it could be devastating.
assistant professor of molecular biosciences
Little. if any. immunity
In the United States, routine vaccinations of civilians against smallpox virus were halted in 1972, about 25 years after the last case of smallpox occurred in this country. This means that at the University of Kansas, none of the traditional college-age students have been vaccinated. Further, for people age 27 and older who were vaccinated against smallpox, the degree of their immunity is unknown.
Marcia Chan, assistant professor in molecular biosciences, said that smallpox was similar to chicken pox, starting with flu-like symptoms, before the blisters erupt.
"The difference with smallpox is that you'll start getting the blisters on your hands and soles of your feet, too." Chan said. Death usually comes from loss of blood or a secondary infection, and one out of three persons died from the disease. Chan said.
Even though the disease has been eradicated, the existing stockpiles of the virus that are stored in the United States and Russia should remain, Chan said.
"I think we should have stocks of it in the United States and Russia." Chan said. "I'm not sure it's necessary for other countries to have it, and if they do, it looks as if they might have them for biological warfare. If that's the case, then for sure, we should have them."
Chan said if biological warfare would occur, the most likely means of the attack would be through the air;
"I think it could be transmitted very effectively through aerosol spray," she said, explaining that the virus was large and would have a strong chance of survival.
Future of research
thing the military prepared for.
It's also a good idea to keep the smallpox virus for scientific purposes, Chan said. "We don't know where smallpox came from initially. It may be that it was a mutant through evolution that came from the monkey pox. If we completely eradicate smallpox, and if we discover a variant strain of it 15 to 20 years from now, it would be nice to have stocks of it somewhere so we could compare the original virus to a new one."
Lt. Karl Fruendt, public affairs officer for the National Guard 190th air refueling wing, Topeka, said that the threat of biological warfare is some-
"It's one of those things we don't broadcast a lot, but we are training for biological warfare and it is a very critical part of what we do," Fruendt said. "We take it very seriously, in addition to weapons training — this is as important, if not more important, training for us in today's environment."
Fruendt said that terrorist attacks could occur on any military installation anywhere in the world.
Including Topeka? "We have not had any threats here in Kansas, but we never say never," Freundt said.
Sandy Quackenbush, assistant professor of molecular biosciences, said that she thought the stores of smallpox in the United States and Russia should not be destroyed. "Basically, we would be getting rid of a virus that, while we think it is eradicated, we have to stop and ask is it really"v?
Even if there were an outbreak of
smallpox today, it might not cause the high number of deaths as in the past, because of the advances in medical treatment, Quackenbush said. But overall, she said she thought this was not a topic to be overly concerned about.
"I think it's not very likely that smallpox would be used in biological warfare" Quackenbush said.
Threats could be risky
"It's clearly a possibility," he said.
Philip Schrodt, professor of political science, said that although the threat of biological warfare occurring in this country is unlikely, it could happen.
It's clearly a possibility. 'he said'
The problem with any biological warfare, for any country that might try it, is that no country has much, if any experience in this area, Schrode said.
"It would be an extremely high risk strategy," he said. "The problem would be that once a country started biological warfare, it would find the entire world was against it."
Not only would its own citizens be susceptible to the disease, military repercussions could be devastating. Schrodt said.
Moreover, even the threat of using biological warfare would be risky. Schrodt said.
"Suppose you have some rogue state that threatens to use biological warfare — we always have the option of vaporizing them with nuclear weapons."
But Schrodt said people shouldn't lose sleep worrying about the possibility of biological warfare.
"It's one thing for the military to be concerned about this," Schrodt said. "It's quite another for the average citizen in Kansas City to be worried that some Timothy McVeigh is going to show up with smallpox."

KU couple's work earns century award
By Clint Hooker
Kansan staff writer
Two professors from the University of Kansas have been honored for devoting their time and talents to improving the lives of people with mental disabilities.
Ann and Rud Turnbull received the Historic Century Award from the American Association of Mental Retardation at the group's annual meeting last month in New Orleans.
The Turnbulls are professors of special education and co-directors of the University's Beach Center on Families and Disability. Rud Turnbull also teaches in the University's School of Law.
The Turnbulls came to the University from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 19 years ago. The couple has been with the Beach Center since its inception almost 10 years ago.
For the Turnbulls, work in the area of mental disability came from personal experience. Their 31-year-old son, Jay, who has four disabilities, serves as their inspiration in the field.
"He's the person that continues to challenge us to do the research and poli-
icy work in this this area." Rud Turnbull said. "I would not be in this business if not for him."
Rud Turnbull said that the Historic Century Award honors parents, scientists, media personalities, policy makers and service providers who have made a dramatic impact on the field during this century.
Other recipients of the award included former President John Kennedy for his efforts in disability research and law reform. Sen. John Chafee (R-RI) for his work in financing disability services, Jerome Lejeune for discovering Down Syndrome, Special Olympics founder Eunice Kennedy Shriver and Judge James Johnson, a pioneer of rights for those with mental disabilities.
Tom Skirtle, acting chairman of the special education department, said that the Turnbulls' award adds to the international visibility of the Turnbulls and the University. The special education department was recently recognized as the best of its kind in the United States.
"This is very,very prestigious,and we're just thrilled that they got the honor," he said. "And the reflection on
the University, the school (of education) and the department will just be tremendous."
Marianne and Ross Beach, who reside both in Lawrence and Hays, are the namesakes of the Beach Center. They said that the Turnbulls were great professionals who deserved the honor, which listed them among the 25 greatest contributors to mental disability work during this century.
"They come from such knowledge and experience, so they are perfect for this role," Martanne Beach said. "They are so skilled and so dedicated, and I just have the greatest respect (for them)."
The recognition won't slow the Turnbulls' efforts at the University. Rud Turnbull said that the only thing on his mind is work.
The Beach Center is doing intensive research and development in the core concepts of disability policies and is working to improve the service delivery systems of such policies around the nation.
"You dare not let down your effort now that you've been recognized and honored with something like this," he said.

KU alumnus awarded $295,000 genius grant
By Paul Rowley
Kansan staff writer
A University of Kansas graduate received a genius grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation of Chicago last week.
The foundation announced that David M. Hillis, molecular biologist, is among the 32 winners of MacArthur Fellowships.
His prize is $295,000 over five years to spend any way he wants.
"I'm thrilled," Hillis said. "It's not something I ever expected."
Hillis, 40, earned a master's degree in biology in 1983, a master's degree in public health in 1984 and a doctorate in biology in 1985 from the University.
Now a professor of zoology and director of
the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Texas in Austin, Hillis was recognized for his excellence in evolutionary biology. His research has contributed to understanding the history of life on earth by showing that relationships among species can be inferred from small differences in their DNA sequences. These differences provide insight into the order and timing of evolutionary processes.
While working on his doctorate at the University, Hillis discovered that there were many domestic species of leopard frogs. Previously, researchers thought that only one species existed in the United States.
William Duellmann, his advisor while at the University, said that Hillis had the right ideas at the right time.
in the African jungle. At 16, he published his first scientific journal article, "Cannibalism Among Cornsnakes." At 24, he scaled a cliff in the Andes to discover a new species of frog.
At age 6. Hillis caught lizards and snakes
"I was just about to up give when I saw its head noke out from a tree." Hillis said.
For Hillis, perseverance pays — he discovered a new species of snake in Ecuador after a landslide blocked the road and tossed rocks on his car.
Hills writes and reviews for more than 50 journals in diverse areas, including marine mammal science, virology, medicinal chemistry and genetics.
This spring, Hillis testified in a Louisiana trial involving a physician who was accused of injecting his lover with the AIDS virus. Hillis was able to determine that the
virus came from one of the doctor's patients. The physician was convicted of attempted murder.
The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation is a private, independent grant-making institution dedicated to improving the human condition.
This year, 17 men and 15 women received grants ranging form $235,000 to $755,000.
Since the program began in 1981, 563 people have been named MacArthur Fellows.
"There is something magical about it all," said Daniel J. Socolow, MacArthur Fellow program director. "No one can apply for a MacArthur Fellowship. New fellows get one phone call out of the blue in June, and five years of opportunity."

Dam backers, salmon lovers barge into confrontation
The Associated Press
For more than two decades, the federal government has been shipping young fish downstream past eight federal dams, hoping the fish will swim back upstream on their own to spawn. So far the fish are losing the battle.
CASCade LOCKS, Ore. — Gray clouds hug the Cascade Mountains along the Columbia River as a barge called the Chinook nugs into the Bonneville Dam lock with its cargo — 200,000 live salmon.
Only about 1 percent of the salmon on this large bay were expected to make it back to spawn.
Fifteen types of salmon in the Columbia Basin have been put on the threatened or endangered species list since 1991.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' salmon barging program is either a vital crutch for the fish or a sure path to their greater doom, depending on one's perspective.
"Barging just doesn't work," said Justin Hayes of the environmental group American Rivers. "As long as they keep flushing
money and fish into the huge system, they're going to fall."
But Bruce Lovelin of the Columbia River Alliance, an industry group, said barging has kept the salmon on life support that they'd define as the best that the corps has going right now.
On the deck of the Chinook, there is no political debate, a just stiff wind from the West.
Ruthane Watkinson is all business. Her crewmates sometimes call her "the fish lady."
For nearly two straight months, it is her job to ride the barge up and down the Columbia, making sure that young salmon captured behind the dams are loaded safely aboard, and then safely let loose at the end of their journey.
During the night, she emerges every two hours from a makehift trailer on the Chinook's deck where she sleeps and makes sure the fish are OK in their six 150,000-gallon tanks.
"The longer I've been in this boat, I'm wondering if there is a glamorous part of this job," said Watkinson, a 22-year-old
wildlife management graduate from New York state. Still, she feels the job is important, saving, "I'm their lifeline."
An hour downstream from the Bonneville lock, the crew opens portals in the bottom of the tanks.
With a giant whooshing sound, the 4-inch to 6-inch baby salmon are flushed into the river, where they begin their journey out to sea.
The corps will spend about $3.4 million this year to ship more than 20 million salmon down the river.
The dams can still provide flood control, irrigation and especially hydropower and the fish bypass them en route to the sea. Electricity from the dams powers huge companies like Boeing and Intel and helps keep residents' power bills among the cheapest in the nation.
The fish barging helps ensure both the fish and the dams survive.
Barging program backers point to studies showing that two of every three adult salmon that survive the inland migration
through the eight dams were barged fish.
But environ- mentalists cite another study showing that just a quarter of 1 percent of barged fish make it back upstream to spawn.
That means that of the 20 million salmon the corps will ship downstream this year, only 50,000 will return to spawn.
"If we keep going at this rate, the fish will go extinct," said Jim Baker of the Sierra Club.
But even the healthiest salmon runs have only a 3 percent to 7 percent return rate for spawning salmon.
The corps this fall will complete a draft of a study examining whether to remove a portion of four of the eight dams — the ones on the Snake River. The move, intensely sought by environmentalists, would boost salmon survival, but would render the dams useless.
The study is also looking at other options to help the fish, including a continuation or an increase in barging.
Congress will ultimately decide. In the near term, lawmakers show no desire to cut back or cancel the bargaining program.
Study guides irrelevant if adaptive test used by profs
By Ronnie Wachter Kansan staff writer
Future students at the University of Kansas might have to change their study habits to include a new factor in the tests they take: adaptability.
Members of the Psychometric Society, an international group of social scientists, said the professors of the future may be able to generate tests as they are given, individualizing each question for each student.
When the Psychometric Society held its annual meeting in the Kansas Union last weekend, one of the main points of discussion was the idea of adaptive testing. Susan Embretson, professor of psychology and president of the Society, said that adaptive testing could be used in the next century to provide more accurate methods of judging what a student has learned.
"It's testing on the fly.We'll use item-generation programs,which are a form of artificial intelligence, to design different tests for each student," Embretson said.
Embretson said that while she is on sabbatical this fall, she will be working to develop item-generation programs at the University and in Monterey, Calif. She said that these programs could be used on a professor's laptop computer in the classroom and would be capable of creating multiple questions with varying degrees of difficulty.
"It's one of the most popular topics right now, because of computer advancement," he said. "This meeting provides us with a forum for the exchange of ideas in psychometrics and test development."
"With adaptive testing, everyone gets their own test, with different difficulties," Embretson said. "How do we equate these scores? That is the job of these psychometric models."
Sikizuhiko Nishisato, a member of the Society's board of trustees, said that adaptive testing was a growing field of research.
"I have one on my laptop right now for non-verbal questions," she said. "Where we're going to see it become state-of-the-art is in non-verbal questions — making up puzzles and problems for students to solve."
Some of the technology discussed last weekend is years away from classroom use, but simple item-generating programs already exist, Embretson said.
Embretson said that the U.S. Air Force is planning to develop adaptive tests for its pilots, as other nations have done.
"The British military has long had some," she said. "Germany uses them for pilot selection."
She said there is no timetable for when her research, or that of the military, will lead to item-generation programs.
"It's evolving," she said. "It's a very active area of concern."

Bells toll for music professor
By Derek Helms
Kansan staff writer
For 36 years, Albert Gerken, professor of music and dance, has walked up the 70 steps of the Campanile to go to work. With a closed fist and active feet, Gerken presses the 53 maple keys and 27 foot pedals of the University of Kansas' carillon.
"There is really nothing else like it," Gerken said. "The carillon is such an interesting instrument."
A carillon is a musical instrument consisting of cast bronze, cup-shaped bells arranged in chromatic series and played from a keyboard. The bells have a range of at least two octaves.
"The carillon is quite complex," Gerken said. "Because of the mass of some of the bells, the entire instrument is mechanical."
The carillon in the Campanile has 53 bells ranging in weight from 12 pounds to 7 tons.
"Obviously with that kind of weight you need some mechanical assistance." Gerken said.
Gerken said that the carillon's keys are pushed down with a closed fist for added leverage.
"A popular misconception is that the carillon is much like a piano." Gerken said. "Actually, it is extremely different, although the piano is a good base to begin from."
When Gerken took the job, his time was divided between teaching music theory and playing the carillon.
Gerken began playing the carillon as a graduate student at the University of Michigan. He and a friend were majoring in organ with aspirations to work in churches.
Now Gerken teaches only car-
In 1963, a professor from the University of Michigan called Gerken about a carillonneur opening at the University of Kansas.
"Initially, we decided to study the carillon because many churches have one," he said. "Then we were simply taken aback by the sound."
illon students. He requires that students have prior experience in music. Each student spends one hour a day in the practice room in the Campanile, with much of the practice time devoted to preparing for recitals.
"Performing two recitals a week is very time consuming," he said.
Gerken estimates that 75 percent of his work time is devoted to playing, although when the carillon is heard during the day, it is most likely the automatic program that plays portions of the the Westminster Chimes at the quarter hours.
Top: Professor Albert Gertken plays at the Campanile. Gertken has performed on carillons throughout the U.S. and Europe and has played at the University of Kansas for 36 years.
Carillon recitals are scheduled for 3 p.m.every Sunday and 8 p.m.every Wednesday when classes are in session.
Gerken encourages others to take up the carillon. Mark Holmberg, associate professor of music and dance, was

appointed assistant
University carillonneur in 1976 after two years of study with Gerken.
"My interest in the instrument grew from listening to Professor Gerken play," Holmberg said. "He really encouraged me to take up the carillon."
As a member of The Guild of Carillonneurs in North America, Gerken also performs throughout the U.S. and Europe.
"I've played almost every major carillon in North America and Europe," he said.
Additionally, Gerken has published 60 or 70 pieces of carillon music, often adapted from other works.
Gerken said he still loves to play the Campanile's carillon.
"I would say our carillon is one of the top 5 in the country," he said.

Holiday begins with colorful bang
By Clint Hooker
Kansan staff writer
No Fourth of July would be complete without the sights and sounds of holiday revelry, from firecrackers and sparklers to Roman candles and bottle rockets.
Lawrence residents and KU students will have just three days to legally celebrate the holiday with personal fireworks within city limits.
Lawrence Police Department spokesman Sgt. George Wheeler said that city ordinances permitted the use of fireworks from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Sunday.
Wheeler also said that several specific types of fireworks were prohibited within the city because of fire and injury concerns. These include bottle rockets and heavy fireworks such as M-80s and cherry bombs.
"What you would buy in the stands outside the city it lies is generally going to be legal, with the exception of bottle rockets," he said. "They're not legal at all."
Jerry Pine operates a fireworks stand north of Lawrence on 24/40 Highway. He said that among his best selling explosives were "nightworks," fireworks designed to appear bright in the night sky.
"The items that are colorful have become much more popular over the years." Pine said. "People like to see the colors at night."
Sgt. Troy Mailen, KU public safety office representative, said that the University allowed fireworks on campus during the same three-day window recognized by city officials.
"We pretty much utilize the same city ordinance they've directed, by using the same time frame," he said. Bottle rockets are prohibited on campus and will be confiscated, Mailen said.
Injuries from fireworks present another concern for the holiday season.
Janie Early-Weas, director of community relations at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, said injuries such as burns to the fingers, hands and face repeatedly occurred
during this time of the year.
"I've worked at the hospital for six or seven years, and we do see fireworks
"I've worked at the hospital, seven years, and we do see firew injuries every single year," she said. "The kinds of injuries we see are usually minor in nature, but they are severe enough to require someone to come to the hospital emergency department."
Early-Weas said people should follow a few guidelines when using fireworks during the Fourth of July weekend, especially when consuming alcohol.
"Alcohol and fireworks do not mix," she said. "That's Number One. If you've been drinking a little bit and your judgment's have impaired, you may not handle fireworks in a responsible manner."
坦克塔花
These are her recommendations:
1) Avoid using fireworks when consuming alcohol.
These are her recommendations:
fireworks indoors or in enclosed areas...
2) Don't use
3) Keep spectators out of range.
4) Don't alm or throw fireworks at people or buildings.
5) Never try to re-light or handle unexploded fireworks.
6) Never leave children unattended with fireworks, matches or lighters.

Rocket fans have a blast-off
Hobbyists soar to new heights with large, hand-built models
By Lisa John
Kansan managing editor
On a good day, when HobbyTown USA manager Anthony Montague takes his tallest model rocket to the launching site east of the dam at Clinton Lake, the wind sock will be hanging low, meaning wind speeds are below 10 mph.
But today, the wind sock flies at a nearly horizontal level, meaning the wind is sweeping across at about 17 mph too strong, said Montague, for a rocket launch.
He has launched this three-pound, four-foot-tall homemade rocket only once before. It was a still and sunny April afternoon. When Montague pressed the button that ignited the engine, the rocket took off with a loud sound that can best be described as a "whoosh."
The rocket soared upward, reaching a zenith of about 1,000 feet before starting on its way down and releasing a red parachute that billowed out and slowed the descent. Less than a minute after the launch, the rocket made a soft landing in a nearby field.
Anthony Montague sets up his rocket on a launching stand near the dam at Clinton Lake. This three-pound rocket that Montague built from a kit is complete with a parachute and uses a large hobby-sized engine. Photo by Lisa John/KANSAN
Montague is one of many rocket enthusiasts in the area, and like most of them, he caught the rocketry bug during his childhood. He learned about rockets from a sixth-grade science teacher who believed in hands-on learning.
THE ROCKET IS READY TO FLY.
That's the way most kids become involved with it," he said, "either through school or an organization like 4-H or Boy Scouts, because it does require a teacher who has knowledge and understanding of what makes a rocket work."

Vicki Ulrich is superintendent of the rockyretry division for the Douglas County 4-H and Future Farmers of America Free Fair, which will be held this year from July 31 to August 7. Ulrich said she became interested in rockyretry 15 years ago when the oldest of her three sons wanted to learn how to build rockets.
"As a child, I always enjoyed building model airplanes with my brothers. But we never blasted anything off," Ulrich said.
He didn't have to ask her twice.
"So when my oldest son got interested in rocketry, I got into it too."
Since then, Ulhrich has led her three sons through rocketry, served as superintendent of the rockyry division at the Douglas
County fair, judged at the fair in Franklin County and has also found ways to incorporate rocket building into her teaching career.

July 4th united U.S.A. from beginning.
Our celebration of independence, oddly enough, began long before the Fourth of July ever became the United States' Independence Day.
Kansan staff writer
By Carrie Petree
States independence. During colonial times, the people of Great Britain and of the English colonies celebrated the birthday of the monarch. It was a festive holiday with parades, banners, and toasts to the monarch's health. With the exception of the latter, the celebration had all of the same components of a Fourth of July celebration.
Then, in 1776, the Declaration of Independence was unanimously supported by the 13 United States of America and was adopted by the Continental Congress in Philadelphia on the fourth of July that year. Two months later, the second Continental Congress had the
task of ensuring the document was signed and voted on.
Pew people realize that during the second Congress is actually when the United States became a new country. But the first congress is the one that comes to mind.
"I know that July 4, 1776 is when we declared our independence, but we did not really get it until later," said Carrie Brazeler. Wichita junior.
it was that first meeting that remains as the milestone for the start and the celebration of a new nation.
"With independence in the 1770s, the framers were faced with the difficult task of creating a new civic nationalism," said Jonathan Earle, assistant professor in the Department of History. "The reason for the celebration was to create this new 'American' nationalism."
Instead of "Long Live the King," it became "Long Live These Independent States," he said.
However, the United States observes no national holidays, that is, holidays mandated by the Federal Government. A public holiday can only be established at the local level, so cities must enact ordinances regarding the celebration of the Fourth of July. The first official state celebration occurred in Massachusetts in 1781, and Boston was the first city to officially designate July 4 as a holiday.
These were only technicalities to the people of the United States.
"You did not need a holiday to tell these people to celebrate." Earle said.

Commentary
Let freedom ring proudly on July Fourth
After all, we have so much to celebrate. The Fourth of July is Independence Day.
All across the United States this Sunday, in towns large and small, families and friends will gather to celebrate the Fourth of July. Americans will barbecue, swim, watch sports, relax, shop and enjoy the outdoors. To cap it all off, millions will enjoy brilliant fireworks lighting the night sky.
Lest we forget, it was fewer than 225 years ago that our nation declared its independence — the independence we are so fortunate to enjoy today.
We will start a new kind of country, the Founders said, in which the people, not the government, will hold the power. The citizens will decide who represents them. Americans will control their own destinies. The United States will be a democracy with liberty and justice for all, they said.
With relatively few hitches along the way, the Founders' ideas have worked.

How is it that we have

Yet, where has our patriotism gone? We take days off of school and work for holidays such as Memorial Day and July Fourth. But few spend much time celebrating the true reason for the holidays in between trips to the mall and to the lake.
so quickly started taking our privileges for granted? Have we become intoxicated with our own success?
But consider the alternatives. All over the map, people are oppressed, in the midst of war or lacking basic human rights.
Certainly, no culture is utopia, nor any government a panacea. Perusing the newspaper or listening to a few minutes of the nightly news is proof.
Sierra Leone is being bloodied by civil war. Ethiopia and Eritrea are fighting it out. Relations are ice cold between North and South Korea. Israel and Lebanon are lobbing bombs at one another. Pakistan and India are at a dangerous crossroads in relations. During the last 15 years, about 1.5 million people in the Sudan have died from war and famine.
Moving closer to home, we can't forget shell-shocked Yugoslavia, where Europe and the West look for ways to end hundreds of years of ethnic and religious civil fighting, not to mention the presidency of an indicted war criminal.
Then there are always the Communist holdovers, China and Cuba. The people there get to vote, all right, for Communists or ... Communists. Choices galore.
Democracy and freedom are rare, precious commodities. Let's celebrate them this Independence Day.
When you hear politicians or others debating issues, don't cringe. Be glad that our country embraces the exchange of ideas. It's not mean-spirited partisanship. It's democracy. Add your voice to the chorus, and be willing to listen to others'.
When you hear about corruption being exposed, be happy that it's allowed to come out. Help correct the problem, and remember the situation so it may not happen again.
When you hear that we live in a materialistic society, be thankful for the bounty of our land and the hard work behind it. Choose to be balanced in your consumption.
Thousands of men and women have given their lives for our freedom. Others, like former Sen. Bob Dole and Sen. Daniel Inouye, stand as examples of lifelong sacrifice. Both men suffered debilitating war injuries for the love of their country and went on to lives of public service.
It is our turn to carry the torch.
Retired Army Gen. Colin Powell said, "America is trusted and respected as no other nation on earth. This trust comes not only out of respect for our military, economic and political power, but from the power of the democratic values we hold dear."
Powell is right. Our democratic values are powerful and must be revered. So, call me old fashioned, but I'm proud to be an American. Let the fireworks begin

Stormed-out triathlon disappoints athletes
Planning can only get you so far. The course was set, the bikes were oiled, and the running shoes were laced to perfection—but wait, who called Mother Nature? This was the harsh reality Sunday morning when a thunderstorm forced the cancellation of the 15th annual Lawrence Memorial Hospital Triathlon.
SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES
The nearly 450 professional and amateur athletes were scattered over the course when the storm hit. Almost 30 swimmers remained in the water and about 300 bikers on the bike path. This created tense moments among the crew who rushed to gather the athletes.
M
"We were on the water with the crew from Channel 6 when it began to lightning," said Amiie Gorrell, recent KU graduate and public relations intern for the amniac. "Trying to get them on shore and then take care of all of our athletes made for some scary minutes."
KU graduate and former KU swimmer, Amy Meyer, was competing on a team with two other Lawrence residents. She'd just finished her leg when it began to rain.
"I was in the water and could feel the temperature begin to drop and the sky get darker," she said. "I didn't figure my teammates would be competing."
"Most of all, I'm sorry for the athletes," Gorrell said. "They train for months, only to be forced out by the weather. I wish we could make it better, but you can't exactly plan around Mother Nature."
After the rain let up, officials announced the triathlon had been canceled with no guarantee of a reschedule.

Chemical Brothers get mixed review
Surrender, the Chemical Brothers' third proper album, might be an unwelcome change to fans who have been weaned on Big Beat for the past few years.
Pioneers of the corner of electronica populated by Fatboy Slim and Prodigy, the Chemical Brothers have been making dance music suitable for air guitar since the early '90s. As a result, songs like "Life Is Sweet," "Block Rockin' Beats" and "Setting Sun" were played on modern rock stations and had widespread appeal.
But now that Big Beat is the soundtrack of every summer film and car commercial, the Chemicals moved on, a move that actually heads toward more traditional dance music.
Commentary
Sure, Oasis' Noel Gallagher (a "Setting Sun" collaborator) returns for "Let Forever Be," the first American single, and a mellower "Setting
Sun," a song that postulates what the Beatles would sound like if they had used a drum machine. And Bernard Summer of New Order appears on "Out of Control," another mellow song that wouldn't be out of place
Chris Eckert
on a New Order album.
But most of Surrender is traditional dance music, groove-based house tracks. "Hey Boy, Hey Girl," the first single in Europe, is a basic Euro house number, deemed too
Other decidedly non-Big-Beat tracks like "Music: Response" (a Kraftwrap pastiche) and "The Sunshine Underground" (a beautiful glam-psychedelic centerpiece clocking in at more than nine minutes) have been derided by many as meandering or dull. "Hey Boy, Hey Girl" and 'Surrender in general have been called the same.
underground for popularity in America. Given the initial critical response, Astralworks (the record label) was probably right.
This is probably a result of listeners' expectations; if they expect More Block Rockin' Beats, they will be left confused and disappointed. If they allow some (non-radical) experimentation in the music, Surrender serves as a great summer album for the porch or the automobile.

The South Park movie: bigger, longer, funnier
Commentary
By Katie Burford
Kansan campus editor
Surrounded by young boys playing Gameboys, I wonder to myself — Am I, as a 20-something, not in South Park's demographic?
Ten minutes into South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, I began to wonder even more when the audience burst into unparious laughter — and hoots — every time an abscess came out of the mouth of one of South Park's elementary-aged angels.
The swearing starts when the South Park foursome — Eric, Kyle, Stan and Kenny — go to see the full-length film Asses on Fire, with Canadian characters Terrance and Phillip, emperors of the scatological joke.
But during the film, something goes awry. Stripped of the constraints of broadcast television, Terrance and Phillip really let it rip, so speak. The R-rated Terrance and Phillip prefer to talk about what the other's uncle did with a horse and other barnyard animals rather than just who farted.
And thus, the chil-
And thus, the children of South Park are corrupted.
I start to worry. I mean, George Carlin's seven dirty words coming out of Eric Cartman's mouth in amazingly creative strings is funny once
COOKIE
And the film is a musical.
But if one is a good little South Park fan and is patient, things will start to get good. Those searingly accurate jabs at today's society that are the trademark of South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone start to shine through.
And it occurs to me that South Park is basically like Disney.
Really. They use the same formula. Younger kids like it because it's animated and because the characters say funny
Huh?
---
things, while older kids (and adults) like it because they understand the underlying story or message.
South Park is what Disney would have been had Walt done 15 to 20 years in the Big House prior to the creation of Mickey Mouse.
I suppose that theory is enough to make any parent cringe.
That's the point. They use the images, words and symbols that make us laugh at things that are supposed to make us uncomfortable.
Because when you laugh at characters that are so monumentally stereotypical, like Chef and Big Gay Al and Mr. Garrison, you realize that these stereotypes are alive and well — despite the crusaders of political correctness — or else you wouldn't be laughing.
To laugh at your biases, you have to acknowledge them. Biases in the open can be dealt with. It is the hidden prejudices that are like the Klausman's hood, hiding the racist's face. Refusing to confront our intolerances makes us do crazy things like go to war with the Canadians because they say "about" funny and they made a movie, which made the children of South Park have potty mouths.
I the message? It's always easier to find flaws in others before looking at our own.
So go ahead. Laugh. It's hard not to. I mean, just imagine: Satan feeling dejected because all Saddam Hussein wants to do is get it on.
It's sick, but funny. Running time: 1:45.
General's Daughter disappoints mind, unsettles stomach
Commentary
By Elissa Harris Kansan movie critic
You might identify the killer right away. If not, you will spend the next two hours changing your mind each time you meet a new suspect.
Mavbe.
I found myself wishing that most of the suspects would get punished for some wrongdoing or another, and when the real killer was discovered, it seemed pointless.
The audience is told right away that a woman has been killed, and pictures of her naked body, tied spread eagle to the ground, are obviously images meant to stick in our heads throughout the film. I say that because we are shown the images time and time again.
The woman killed, the General's daughter, of course, is also a woman who has pushed her sexuality into an alpha-male military world.
John Travolta (Paul Brenner) enters again into the well-refined character of a wise-cracking, soft-spoken guy who just seems to charm even the bad guys.
His "detective" role is the good ol' boy without the racist and sexist attitude.
Madeleine Stowe (Sarah Sunhill) is an agent with power. She plays the sex crimes expert, and fortunately there is no stereotypical "she was a victim once, too, and it's payback time" aspect to her character. Instead she is charming, tough and smarter than any of the other investigators.
James Woods (Colonel Moore) is always so good at being on the dark side that one can never tell whether to like him or not.
The event of her death isn't known until the end of the movie, but events leading up to it will twist and turn your stomach.
what may twist your stomach even more is a slight implication that this woman was partially responsible for her own demise.
Directed by Simon West; written by Christopher Bertolini and William Goldman. Based on the novel by Nelson DeMille.

Rocketry presents challenges, fun
"Kids don't understand why they have to learn to read and do math." Ulrich said. "With rocketry, they have to know how to read directions and to do measurements. It makes all the academic things important, and then they get a real sweet reward for it at the end."
Through her work as a speech and language pathologist in Ottawa, Ulrich said that she had learned that rocketry gave children the opportunity to apply practical application to the basic skills that they were learning in school.
They have run, and even if their rockets don't go anywhere, it's still fun to try and figure out why it didn't fly or why it crashed and burned." Ulrich said.
Continued from page 1B
The sweet reward is when the children get to blast their rockets off, Ulrich said.
Some of the children get to take their rockets home after the first launch. Some don't.
"Some of the rockets go up and don't come back — they're lost forever." Ulrich said. "In our soybean field, every once in a while parts of a rocket that wasn't recovered will turn up."
More than just a mounter Roger Miller. manager of George's Hobby
More than just a model
House, is another rocket enthusiast. He still recalls his first rocket launch.
"I was about 10 years old. It was a successful flight; the parachute deployed, and then the rocket went off into the trees," Miller said. "Other than the fact that we never recovered the rocket, it was the perfect flight. I was pretty much hooked from then on."
"You build something that doesn't just sit there," Miller said. "With rocketry, it does something — it launches — you can watch it go up in the air."
Rocketry seems to be an equal opportunity hobby. Miller and Montague both said that about half of their rocketry customers are female.
The allure of rocketry is the experience itself. Miller said.
"We sell rockets from the first week of spring right on until about the first big snow." Miller said.
Rocketry is a seasonal hobby.
It's also a weather-dependent hobby, as Montague knows.
"Windy days are detrimental," he said. "You watch the rocket go up, and you don't know where it will go after that."
"A lot of people think that you just build the rocket and go out and push the button," Montague says. "But that's not what model rocketry is about. It's about trying to achieve perfection, trying to achieve a perfect launch without failure, to keep it on track. There's a lot of challenges involved beyond the normal type of hobbies."
The cost of buying an initial rocket kit ranges from $25 to $35. This includes a launch stand and everything else needed. After that,
additional individual rocket kits can be purchased for as low as $3. The rockets are reusable, and replacement engines cost from $3 to $7 for a back of three.
Rocketry is a hobby filled with unexpected challenges.
Or as Ulrich said, it's a hobby for joy, a hobby for tears and a hobby for mystery.
"I enjoy the looks on the kids' faces when their rockets go up, and I feel their sorrow when the fins fall off and their rockets make a nose dive into the ground. You know how much work they put into making them perfect, and you don't know what's going to happen to them," Ulrich said.
Do rocket sales get a boost as the Fourth of July approaches? Montague chuckled and said he wished they did. "Rocketry is safer than shooting off fireworks," he said. "And if you're lucky, you get it back to launch it again."

1700s set different Lawrence scene
Before Europeans settled the region, fire ruled the prairie
By Katie Burford
Kansan campus editor
In 1776, a room full of Anglo-Saxon men declared the sovereignty of a fledgling nation and not a whisper of that declaration was heard on the open prairie of what would one day be Lawrence.
"Tall-grass prairie is maintained by a fire ecology," said Stan Loeb, acting director of the environmental studies program. "As non-native humans moved in, they suppressed fire."
Loeb said that lightning would frequently set off grass fires that would burn for days.
Although there may have been few trees, there were people.
In 1776, east-central Kansas had sporadic human traffic, of the native and non-native variety, but none had left an indelible mark on the land.
The area's indigenous population consisted predominantly of members of the Kansa and Osage tribes, said Rita Napier, associate professor of history.
These groups were of the Siouan oral tradition, Napier said. They lived in permanent
villages, sustaining themselves with food from the gardens they tended. They would supplement their diet with meat from elk, deer and other game in the vicinity. Occasionally they would go on hunting expeditions that would take them into western Kansas.
Napier said that the Kansa and Osage had methods for food production and preservation and were surprisingly sophisticated.
"Many people have the idea that they were mostly nomadic bison hunters," she said. "That's not true."
The Kansa and Osage used creek bottoms to protect their gardens from the Plains' scorching winds and rotated crops to get a maximum yield from the soil, Napier said. Squash, maize and beans were a few of their staples.
The Kansa had come to this area in the 17th century after being pushed west by European settlement.
Kenneth Davis, author of "Kansas: A Bicentennial History," said that the Comanche tribe, on the other hand, was a nomadic tribe dependent on buffalo hunting. The Comanche hunts often took them across what is now Colorado, Wyoming and western Kansas.
The Comanche are an example of how even a temporary appearance of Europeans could unalterably affect the
people of the region.
In 1540, Spaniard Francisco Vasquez de Coronado, along with 300 soldiers — 250 of whom were on horseback—and several hundred Native Americans, began a trek northward out of Mexico in search of mythic treasure. The expedition made it as far as central Kansas before the group turned around.
"In 1758, a French official reported that in one band, the Pawnee, they had been reduced from eight villages to one." Napier said. "They were really decimated by disease."
What they left behind were horses. Prior to this, there were no horses in North America. Those that were stolen or left behind proliferated rapidly in the fertile environment. The Comanche soon became master horsemen, gaining a marked advantage over more agrarian tribes, such as the Kansa.
But trade and horses had nominal impact compared with the devastating effect that smallpox had on indigenous people. Smallpox was a disease brought by the Europeans to which the Indians had no immunity.
Edited by Chad Bettes
The Spanish weren't the only ones whose influence was felt in this region. French explorers and traders came from the north and set up transient fur trading posts, Napier said.
Even after the war, there were separations of loyalties between the northern and southern states. The atmosphere was still politically charged, Earle said, and would remain so for some time.
"Creating a new nationalism was a very difficult task, and also an awesome task," Earle said. "That is why the celebration of Independence Day was so important. It was crucial in bringing Massachusetts and Georgia together. Two very different states yet now part of the same country."
Fireworks festivities were part of first 4th
Continued from page 1B
Most of the traditional celebrations were in place from the beginning. It was something the 13 states had no disagreements over. From Boston to Philadelphia, red, white and blue was used to dress up armed ships in the harbor — today those colors are used to dress up its citizens.
Fireworks were even present as early as 1777. The only thing that has changed is two centuries of ingenuity and technology. Across the nation people celebrate in the same ways — the Declaration of Independence is read, parades march down Main Street U.S.A., and cannons are discharged time and time again — in honor of our nation.
Only the history behind the holiday does not always come to mind on the holiday.
"I do not necessarily think about the history of the Fourth of July. It comes to mind, but I don't dwell on it unfortunately," said Jill Brown, Overland Park graduate student.
In the "melting pot" that is the United States, the celebrations on the Fourth of July remain a constant source of culture for the country — whether people realize it or not.
"The holiday is very important to the cultural history of the U.S. and has been from the beginning," Earle said.

Cost of recreation declines
The Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. — Go ahead and get that second cone of cotton candy at the amusement park this summer. You can afford it.
The average price for a family of four to visit a U.S. amusement park has decreased by $1.58 this year to $141.32, according to an annual survey by the trade publication Amusement Business.
The Nashville, Tenn., based Amusement Business, which compiles information from the same 25 parks each year, considers the cost of admission for two adults and two children, parking, food, and two child-size souvenir T-shirts.
The decline is the first since the publication began keeping tabs five years ago.
"When you look at the whole scope of things, it didn't cost
decrease as much as it just stopped its magnificent gains." Tim O'Brien, Amusement Business' southeast editor, said.
A large part of the decline was attributed to Six Flags' decision to admit children under 48 inches for half-price at its 16 amusement, water, and animal parks.
The goal is to develop brand loyalty at a young age by a demographic group whose purchasing power is growing, Brent Gooden, a spokesman for the Premier Parks, said.
"These youngsters will grow up and as teenagers they'll want to ride the latest ride. And these teenagers will be parents someday." Gooden said.
Cedar Fair, which owns Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, and Worlds of Fun in Kansas City, Mo., also had tried discount chili
after a admission to great success several years ago.
"It's a wonderful marketing play, and it saves people money. What they lose in money, they pick up in good will and marketing value," O'Brien said.
Nellie Bly Park in Brooklyn, N.Y., was the cheapest park, costing a family of four only $65.
Food prices have shot up, with the average cost of a hot dog and hamburger increasing 14 cents to $2.46 and $2.99 respectively. However, the average cost of a T-shirt at the parks decreased $2.14 to $7.4.
The Orlando-area theme parks continued to be the priciest in the survey. Universal Studios at Florida, whose prices are similar to nearby Walt Disney World and Sea World parks, topped the list, costing a family of four $252.
Japanese museum battles WWII
The Associated Press
TOKYO — Tokyo finally has a national museum chronicling the events of World War II. But it is a portrait cleansed of Pearl Harbor, Hiroshima and almost any direct reference to the front lines.
The roiling passions aroused by the Japan's role in World War II have proven too much for the Showa Hall museum, according to Hirokazu Ishida of the government agency responsible for the $101 million project.
"The people on the left wanted wartime responsibility addressed," he said. "The people on the right protested they didn't want an anti-war memorial. It became impossible to display anything historical about the war."
By the time the museum opened in March, a decade after the project began, officials had backed down from plans to deal with the responsibility issue, and instead had settled on the safer theme of the hardships suffered by civilians at home.
Food-rationing tickets are exhibited next to worm-out letters sent to troops. Black-and-white movie footage shows people digging bomb shells.
Not surprisingly, the toning down of the museum's message hasn't
"Japanese people are still blind to what the war meant."
Hidehiko Ushijima professor at Tokai Women's College
pleased activists on either side
A Tokyo-based group representing veterans' families, and which pushed for the museum, says the museum fails to do justice to the war, which left nearly 2 million Japanese dead, 672,000 of them civilians.
"It's like touching the elephant's leg and thinking you've seen the elephant," said Hitoshi Nakayama, an official with the association. "You have to talk about the war."
On the other side, Hidehiko Ushijima, a professor at Tokai Women's College, says the museum reflects how Japan had never fully dealt with the emperor worship and glorification of death that were wartime pillars of the Japanese psyche.
"Japanese people are still blind to what the ugrush. "Ugusha said
To pacifists, the site of the new museum has disturbing rightist and
militarist undertones. It is within walking distance of Yasukuni Shrine, a Shinto memorial that has been highly controversial for including war criminals among its enshrined.
Even the museum's name has been criticized.
Showa, which means "bright peace," refers to the 1926-1988 reign of Emperor Hirohito. But the museum has nothing displayed on Hirohito, except newspaper clippings of his radio address announcing Japan's surrender.
Mainstream opinion tends to hold Hirohito as a largely powerless figurehead who couldn't block the decisions of his generals. Many leftists and pacifist groups, however, argue that he should have accepted responsibility for the war, and that by failing to do so he made it harder for the rest of the nation to own up as well.
None of that controversy is outlined at the Showa Hall.
Kazuo Ohashi, a pacifist, was so outraged by Showa Hall that he filed a lawsuit with his supporters accusing the government of misusing tax money to build it.
"It's a sham," Ohashi said. "The museum contains nothing about the war."
Dole pushes for Internet porn removal from libraries
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Republican presidential candidate Elizabeth Dole wants to withhold federal money from public libraries that don't close pornography-permitting loopholes.
Dole, entering the family values debate, said libraries should install computer software that blocks access to pornographic sites on the Internet.
The House has passed a bill that reduces federal money to libraries that don't install the software in computers used by children. Dole argued that the measure also should apply to computers used by adults.
"Pornography is off-limits to children, but it is readily accessible to adults. That's wrong," the former American Red Cross president said in a draft of a prepared statement.
She also was sending a letter to House Speaker Dennis Hastert, RIII., and Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., urging them to close pornography-permitting loopholes.
"We shouldn't let pornography slip in through an electronic backdoor," she said in the draft remarks. "This isn't about First Amendment protection. It's about values."
Aides said her actions mark a new phase in her campaign, as she begins to outline her family values agenda.
Several new public polls suggest a growing concern among voters about moral leadership in America. One survey gave Republicans a lead of nearly 20 percentage points over Democrats when asked which party best represents the values: faith in God, personal responsibility, ethics and honesty.
Dole, ranked second behind Texas Gov. George W. Bush in most Republican presidential polls, has distinguished herself from the crowded GOP field by embracing modest gun control measures.

Southern-fried fare is down-home good
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — Wrapped in yellowed aluminum siding, Bea's Restaurant sits near a rundown apartment house in a neighborhood Chattanooga's urban renewal has yet to touch.
The Associated Press
The parking lot is a patchwork of buckled asphalt. The roof is so low it looks like no one inside could stand up straight.
Meat-and-three is shorthand for an entree and side dishes, explained John Egerton, the Nashville author of "Southern Food."
Bea's is a "meat-and-three" restaurant with roots in the region's farms and factories. It's a place where food is battered, buttered and creamed, and macaroni and cheese is labeled a vegetable.
"You don't get low-fat this and low-salt that," said Nick Proffitt, 29, a tire salesman. "This is Southern cooking, and that's what's great about it."
But within the walls, customers say, is Southern-fried heaven.
For $7.50, customers can eat all they want from a menu of one meat dish and three vegetable dishes. In this culinary world, the terms "meat" and "vegetable" are loosely translated. Fish qualifies as meat, and Jell-O passes as a vegetable.
"Its the friendiness," said Nita Howell, a part-time bookkeeper. "You meet complete strangers in a country atmosphere." That being certain Beg's popularity.
Restaurants like Bea's began at the turn of the century, when factory work began
True to the meat-and-three style, Bea's is scoured clean but not fancy. The dining room is a showcase of shades of brown, from the wall paneling to the floors. The maitre d' wears sneakers. One corner has a wood plaque honoring "Granny," a longtime waitress.
The waiting line for the 160-seat dining room often snakes out the door and into the parking lot. About 400 pounds of chicken are served at a typical lunch and up to 800 pounds on Sundays after church.
It was really a kind of replication of what they would have gotten had they been at home — meat and gravy, potatoes and beans — the things that come out of the garden," Egerton says.
"I think it's a cult thing," said Lew Cisto, 52, musical theater director at the McCallie School, an all-books Christian school in Chattanooga. "It's a great environment. The food is always good. It's always hot."
That helps explain Bea's popularity
James "Windy" Adams, 68, a Lookout Valley barber, and his 73-year-old brother first ate at Bea's when their uncle took them there as children.
"I believe it was a dollar then, but it's still worth it." Adams said.
Historical Helena, Montana
drawing people off the farm, Egerton said.
Old mining town captures style of old, spirit of new
The Associated Press
HELENA, Mont. — The most revealing view of Montana's capital city is from the general admission seats at Kendrick Legion Field on a Thursday evening in summer, during the fourth inning
You may think you have slipped into the pages of a late 1950s Saturday Evening Post.
Past the right-field fence, a group of kids watches the game from atop the monkey bars in Memorial Park, where the Capital City Band is performing its weekly free concert for picnickers on the grass.
Beyond the center-field fence is the sheer rise of Mount Helena, towering over the city's downtown district.
Rising above the left-field fence are the twin. gold crosses of the 230-foot spires on the Cathedral of St. Helena.
And beyond third base rises the Capitol dome.
Helena (pronounced HEL'-in-nah) came to life overnight as a gold-rush boom town in 1864 and retains an Old West flavor that is now mixed with the politics, commerce, arts, culture and sports of any modern city. But the city wears its mining history proudly.
Main Street in the downtown business district takes its name - Last Chance Gulch - from the four prospectors who discovered gold there in 1864. The "Four Georgians" supposedly decided the valley was their last chance. If they didn't hit gold here, they would go home, their grubstake exhausted. Instead, they hit big and started one of the West's big gold rushes.
"Color" reportedly still washes up on Last Chance Gulch after a hard rain, and Norwest Bank on the Gulch has a spectacular display of gold—nuggets, dust, wire, leaf and coins.
Rocky Mountains between Yellowstone and Glacier national parks.
The capital lies midway on the east face of the
Hunting and fishing are nearby in all directions from Helena. Holter and Hauser dams form major lakes on the Missouri River near the city, and the river itself is trophy trout water. Wild game thrives in the Helena National Forest.
The forest lies against the edge of the city, so wild animals are common sights in town. They include an occasional moose or black bear, but most common are deer, which maud gardens and sometimes complicate traffic or airport landings.
It's a city of neighborhoods that demand strolling, from the stately mansion district on the west, where the gold-rush millionaires built their homes, to the funky Fifth Ward on the northeast and the upscale, downtown walking mall on Last Chance Gulch.
At the south end of the Gulch is Reeder's Alley, a restored miner's village with specialty shops, a restaurant and a restored and furnished miner's cabin.
Famous residents include historian and author Stephen Ambrose and designer-clothing magnate Liz Claiborne, who has a ranch north of town.
Fort Harrison, on the edge of town, was the World War II birthplace of the U.S. Canadian Special Services Force, which was immortalized in the war movie The Devil's Brigade.
The Old Trapper Taxi has only six cars but offers 24-hour service.
Airport parking is $2 a day, $10 a week, and it's on the honor system. The airport (14 flights a day by Delta, Big Sky and Sky West airlines) turns out the lights at midnight.
Tickets to the Helena Brewers' baseball games are $4.75 for general admission, $7 for box seats. It's rookie-league ball, and the young players, many of whom live with Helena families for the season, are still flattered when kids ask for their autographs.
The governor's home telephone number is listed in the book. And he answers.
African travel offers history, danger, beauty
The Associated Press
THABA BOSIU, Lesotho — For the adventurous, the stark mountains of this southern African kingdom offer a fascinating, no-frills look at history, a dark tale of 19th-century cannibalism and a king's forgiveness.
An agreement to hold new elections has quelled the unrest. Maseru's airport functions. Some modern tourist hotels in Maseru escaped damage in the intervention and are open.
Although the situation appears to have stabilized, the U.S. State Department warns travelers that the potential for disorder and random violence remains.
Lesotho, a Belgium-sized country of 2 million within South Africa's borders, was off most tourism itineraries even before South African troops crossed the border last year to quell an army mutiny and strikes that had paralyzed the capital, Maseru.
The place to visit is not Maseru — an unremarkable capital whose business district was heavily damaged in rioting during the intervention — but Thaba Bosiu. This mountain fortress lies just 10 miles east of Maseru and was once the stronghold of cannibals.
In 1824, King Moshoeshoe (moh-SHWE-SHWE), seeking a natural redoubt to protect his Basotho people, led them to the 350-foot-high flat-topped mountain whose summit is ringed by cliffs. Springs on the mountain would enable the Basotho to survive long sieges.
As the vanguard of Moshoeshoe's group approached the mountain, cannibals attacked, killing some of the trekkers and dragging their corpses to caves.
By the time Moshoeshoe's main force arrived at the caves, the cannibals already had body parts boiling in cooking pots. Some of Moshoeshoe's wives — he eventually had more than 40 — were among the cannibals' victims.
Moshoeshoe's warriors overwhelmed and captured the outnumbered cannibals. They brought the captives to the king and demanded their execution.
"The king responded that he must respect his wives' graves, which were the cannibals' bodies," recounts tour guide Patrick Rafutho. "He also told the cannibals that if they stopped eating people, they could join the Basotho."
The cannibals did so.
Arriving at the fortress-like mountain after dusk, Moshoesoe dubbed it Thaba Bosiu, or Mountain of the Night.
Today, Thaba Bosiu is a national monument.
On a recent visit with a reporter and a photographer, the tour guide Rafuto stopped to catch his breath, then clambered up a hill a mile from Thaba Bosiu.
He stood on an 18-foot-wideledge overlooking round, thatch-roofed huts at the base of the hill. On the ledge were remnants of the cannibals' caves. The ceilings are still charred from ancient cooking fires.
Notches scar a rock ledge on the summit. The ledge overlooks emerald valleys that turn golden brown in the dry season. The notches were made over the decades as Moshoeshoe's warriors sharpened their snears while on the lookout for enemies below.
Moshoeshoe and the kings who succeeded him are buried on the summit. The last to be interred was King Moshoehose II, who died in a 1996 car crash. His son, King Lettsie III, is Lesotho's current ruler and sometimes climbs to Thaba Bosiu's summit to pray to his ancestors.
Ruined stone houses stand sentinel on the summit, the wind whistling through gaps in the crumbling piles of rocks. No one lives on the mountain now.
Adorning nearby rocks are other paintings of spearcarrying hunters and their prey, made by cavemen thousands of years ago.
"You can't tell all this is here—the cliff dwellings, the paintings, the history," Rafutho remarks, shaking his head in wonder. "From a distance, it just looks like some mountains and rocks."
After hiking down from the heights, Rafutho gazes up at the cannibal caves and toward the rocks with the caveman paintings. Thaba Bosiu looms in the distance in the evening light.

SALINA — It wasn't the NBA playoffs. It wasn't the NCAA tournament. It wasn't Madison Square Garden or Allen Fieldhouse.
The ball was red, white and blue.
But Ryan Robertson, Billy Thomas and Sean Pearson were playing basketball competitively and professionally for the Salina Cagerz of the United States Basketball League in front of a crowd of 3,000 at the Bicentennial Center Saturday night.
"It was a lot of fun," Pearson said of playing after the team's 103-96 season-ending loss to the Long Island Surf.
Pearson has no immediate basketball plans now that the season is complete, but Robertson and some of the other players in the league will be watching the NBA draft today with interest.
That's the purpose of this early summer league. It bills itself as a league of opportunity, and it gives recent graduates and other basketball players the chance to showcase their skills for the NBA, the CBA and professional leagues in other countries.
He said Robertson was able to see firsthand the quicker tempo and more physical play of a professional league.
Tom Hughes, Cager coach, said he would be pleased if every player on his roster had the chance to play in a more competitive league.
"I think Robertson held his own," Hughes said.
Robertson scored two points in almost twelve minutes. He averaged 7.4 points in the 15 games he played for the Cagerz this
"It was a good experience for me," Robertson said. "I got a chance to play with professional rules in a professional league."
The benefit was mutual, as one of three former KU players were on the floor every minute of the game, drawing attention from the fans who knew about their players' basketball heritage.
And while the baskets were 10 feet tall, the lane and the three-point line were NBA regulation and the players wore basketball uniforms, the play sometimes looked more like a playground pickup game.
a playful team game
"C'mon, C'mon, defense," shouted Kevin Mackey, Atlantic City Seagulls' coach during the game before the Cagerz. "D it up. D it up. C'mon, work."
summer.
But the sometimes one-on-five play by individuals trying to impress scouts did not deter James Ring and seven of his friends from attending virtually every game. The 17-year-old Sacred Heart High School senior sat behind the Surf's bench, heckling opposing players and cheering for the Cagerz.
He said that the former KU athletes added to the Cagerz, but that Robertson might be too much of a crowd favorite for his taste.
Saturday, despite the overwhelming fan support, the Cagerz fell short.
"Come on, Billy. Light it up. Let's go," pleaded a fan behind the officials' table.
But, he wasn't getting the ball, and his two late three-pointers were not enough to help the team overcome a 10-point deficit.
"It was really tough because I kept telling the kids to get the ball into his hands," Hughes said.
